Invitations to Graduation Party.
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ How should invitations to
a graduation party be printed?
1t will be given by my mother?
2. Would it be proper to give
my teacher and principal pres
ents at the graduation exer-
cises? If so, what would be
proper? A.
no let me. urge you to write
~ the invitations, rather than
have them printed. It would be
so much better form, and show
much better taste. In fact, print
ed invitations would be in exceed
tngly bad taste for small,
private party of this kind. The
invitations should be written on
letter-paper, and should be writ
ten by your mother, or at least
in the name of your mother. The
invitation should be worded
something like this:
Dear Rose:
"Anne is being graduated from
the Hope School on Friday, the
seventh of March, and want
very much to celebrate the hap
py event by giving a little party
in her honor and in honor of the
event on Saturday, the eighth Of
March. So 1 am asking some of
her friends to come to our home
at about eight-thirty o'clock. Will
you join us? do so hope that
you can, for. it will be delightful
to have you with us.
''Friendliest greetings to you
and high anticipations Of seeing
you on the eighth.
Most cordially yours,
MARGARET MAYD MANN
"(Mrs. Frank NANNY
It would be proper and show a
very generous thought for you to
give present to your principal
and teacher, but l suggest that
you send the gifts to them or
give them at some time other
than the graduation exercises. A
book would, 1 think, be in the
best taste and would be espe-
cially appropriate for both.
NIrs. BeecIxman will be glad
to answer questions on etiquette

The Biggest and Best StOr:1 OF
Her Career.

Natalie met them in the gar
den. She wore sport dress OF
gold color that caught amber
lights in her thick brown hair
and amber flecks in her deep
gray eyes. She had vivid, fes-
cinating face that was both
naughty and sad. She was very
slim and. used her hands with
grace that captivated Nora Lee;
that made her secretly determine
to practice those flowery move
ments.
At first she was Indifferent and
business-Iike: You've not seen
our place, Mrs. Her'ick? You
know it is Danes as much as
ours. He created it. That makes
him the real owner"

may claim possession in that
case, Miss Herbert. 1 shouldn't

Natalie shrugged: I've no
doubt he'll soon be building one
for you."
She showed them through all
the rooms. Nora Lee felt en-
riched just to be looking ct all
this color and harmony. Sine
stopped on a little balcony and
touched Danes arm. ''I love
balconies like THIS. Will you be
!. able to design another place as
perfect?''

with a tinge of aggressiveness:

on her pale, well carved lips.

Nora Lee could answer.
When they were ready to leave

She Handed the bundle to Dane.
He colored, but almost imme
diately was pale.
Nora Lee noticed with an an
cry, remorseful stab that the
plans Natalie returned were the
same as those he had left on the
breakfast table with the note
asking her opinion.
CHAPTER XIX.
The Task of Holding Love-.
Nora Lee took her place next
to Dane with an aloof quiet. He
tossed the plans brusquely to the
back seat. You're angry, Nora
Lee?''
"why should I be angry?"
But you are. She asked to
see the sketches. The Naples
are her most intimate friends.
They wanted her opinion. You
have to humor these people,"
Nora Lee blinked: "Of course!
I'm not angry at all. You know,
really. don't mind if you talk to
other women in the course of bust
ness! I'm not quite that jealous!
She's extremely interesting"
''Yes-she is.''
"Well, adieu to her, then! She's
taken up enough of our Sunday"
She laughed and waved the fasci-
mating image from her thoughts.
She became gaily animated-flat-
tering and flirting with him.
Nora Lee Fails.
On the. outskirts of her mirth,
Natalie Herbert, vivid and sad, per-
sisted. She had time to look over
the sketches-even to make one
with new suggestions. She felt
honored that an exceptional man
considered her opinion. But Nora
Lee had carelessly failed.
All the next morning she was
oppressed with the image of
Natalie, her face becoming girlish
and appealing. as it sought Danes.
She thought bitterly: why does a
haunting woman like her remain
single! Why doesn't she choose
some man and leave another girls
husband alone!'
This was ridiculous, of course.
Dane hadn't the remotest interest
in Natalie Herbert.
Nora Lee told herself this and
laughed; yet vague, irritable un-
easiness stole into her heart. AS
she dressed for her Monday after
noon bridge club she kept seeing
Natalie's captivating hands-kept
wondering what Natalie might be
doing this hour, this moment
Something splendid, perhaps?
Something magnificent and adven-
turous?
A Futile Life.
She saw her own life frittering
away in this round of shopping,
card parties, teas, and became
suddenly flaming with discomfort.
But what else was there to do?
What else did anyone do? Life
has no sublime, magnificent ex-
periences hidden away and wait
ing for the heroic soul. You
either do what everyone else does
or you seek out some lonely tub
like the cynic Diogenes and do
nothing!
Nora Lee had fancied marriage
would solve all problems - that
once, having taken her mate,
they would walk serenely down
life-serenly and joyously. She
would no longer wonder about the
right and wrong of things. She
would be blissfully settled and
certain.
Now she found herself more
confused, more disturbed than at
any time in her girlhood Mar
riage was not the end but the
beginning of deep spiritual war
fare.

A HUGE SUGAR PLANTATION
CELEBRATES HARVEST HOME
1900 Employees Participate in Great
Celebration Near Honolulu.

A Honolulu dispatch says celebra-
ton unique in Hawaiian history occur
red at Eva plantation, near Honolulu,
at the conclusion of the harvesting OF
the 1925 sugar crop. This celebration,
known as the Harvest Home Festival,
was participated in by more than a.
600 employees and their families, most
OF them Japanese, Filipinos, Chinese
and Porto Ricans.
Eva Plantation Company has Just
taken off a crop ofs51,746 tons, which
is the largest in the plantations his
tory, and this was the special cause OF
the celebration, although ii is now pur-
posed to make it a permanent affair
as the laborers entered into it with a
spirit OF enthusiasm that speaks well
for the general morale. Each laborer
was given days vacation on pay.
Up to FIVE or six years ago 1t was
supposed that Eva plantation, with an
output of $4,000 tons yearly, had
reached its maximum. But careful
studies of results in fertilization, irri-
cation and seed selection experiments,
and an application of those results to
the plantation, have increased this
yield 20 to rs per cent.

GOVERNOR CANNOT
REMOVE A SHERIFF
CASES OF SHERIFFS MIDDLE

WELL OF LEE SIMILAR.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Walk
er has no power to remove from Of
flee Sheriff j. Clarke Middlebrooks,
Of Jones county, who is under an eigh-
teen months sentence TO the federal
prison for violation Of the prohibition
enforcement laws. The only method
Of removing sheriff is through pro-
ceedings in the superior court.
A decision by Governor Walker,
handed down when he was attorney
general, holding that the chief eXecu-
tive has no power or authority to re-
move a public official, was used in
court by attorneys for John n. Hold
er when Governor Walker made an
effort to remove the chairman OF the
highway commission.
A situation similar to that in Jones
county also exists in Lee county, it is
said, where Sheriff Phillip c. Coxwell
was convicted in federal court of a
violation of the prohibition enforce
ment law The bonding company that
was on Sheriff Coxwell's bond has Civ
en- notice Of its withdrawal, and Gov
ernor Walker has called upon the
sheriff to execute a new bond.

Miles a Second

The speed record of Lieut.. Al Viii
liams, L. S. n, OF 1922 miles an hour
is not 50 fast when compared to a
trip OF the sun through space. When
it comes to flying the sun accompa-
MED by the planets, including the
earth, is doing strictly nonstop
flight in formation.
The first flight began in the mys-
teries OF the past. There are no mis-
chaps in this steady uniform advance
through the universe at he rate OF Il
and one-half miles a second. All the
stars are likewise in motion, in vari-
Gus directions and at various speeds;
speeds not differing greatly, in gen
eral, from that at which the sun is
moving. Just multiply II and one-half
by 90 and see what you get. Then
consider that it would take about TO-
600 years for the sun to reach Alpha
Centauri the nearest star, at the rate
it is now moving, even if that star
should obligingly stand still.

SCIENTIST SAYS THAT
SLEEP UNNECESSARY
SCIENTIST DECLARES IT BAD
HABIT THAT INTERPRETERS
WITH EFFICIENCY.

Sleep is a bad habit and a luxury
which the efficient man OF the future
will do without. Biologically, sleep is
survival of the prehistoric existence
OF man. 1t will become as unnecessary
as~the appendix is now.
This is the theory of Dr. T. H. Zell,
we'll known scientist He deduces his
theory from an extensive investiga-
ton OF the nature OF sleep and close
observation of the animal kingdom.
Sleep, he says, was the only means
that enabled prehistoric man to live
with beasts and to maintain himself
among them. The human system got
used to it during 100000 years OF pre-
historic life, and has not got rid OF it
yet in four or five thousand years OF
civilized life in which sleep has lost
its value because man no longer need
fear the beasts.
Some Animals Do Not Sleep.
The vast majority OF animals are
about during the night During the
day they rest under the protection OF
their natural colors. They escape OBJ
servation by staying perfectly quiet
during the day and moving about at
night None OF the night animals
know actual sleep. They merely doze
and at the same time hear every noise
about them That is why, even with
man, the ear is the last organ to fall
asleep.
Some animals, like whales, do not
sleep at all. They have no place to
sleep where they would be safe from
their enemies. In the depths OF the
sea sleep is impossible All of which,
says DR.. Zell, does not mean that we
can abolish sleep tomorrow. Sleep is
still necessary, and sleep before mid
night is best, because prehistoric man
climbed his tree as soon as darkness
came. But sleep no longer has any
necessary function in the life of
modern man, and therefore it is only
a question OF time when man will out
live it.

EFFORT BEING MADE TO PUT
SOUTH IN THE DOUBTFUL
COLUMN ON TARIFF.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Southern
democrats are worried over a wide

POLITICALLY on the tariff issue. They be-

North Carolina, which has become
an industrial state, is the center OF re-
publican activities.
Edmonds' Stand.
Richard H. Edmonds. editor OF the
Manufacturers Record, once Tree
trade democrat, has become an advo-
cate of protective tariff. His pubh-
cation has far-reaching influence III
the south, and he is conducting
campaign for reversal OF pohcy. lie
saws the industrial revolution now
under way in the south cannot be
completed under free trade.
Being invited to speak to the South
ern States Republican League, organ
lied to muster business men 1or pro
lection. he wrote a letter declin-
ing. on account of sickness in his lam
ilv, in which he states his views thus;
"A protective tariff amply high to
safeguard us against the pauper la
Dor OF the Orient and the near-pauper
labor of Europe is essential to the
prosperity of the farmers and the in
dustrial interest OF the country alike.
The south needs protection more
than any other part of the country.
L know that there are thousands
and hundreds of thousands OF south
ern men who believe thoroughly in
protective tariff and who would advo-
cate it openly if they felt entirely free
from the political standpoint OF voic-
ing in public their views which in
private they hold"
President Coolidge was told by a
democratic senator who recently
called on him at the white house that
his (the senator's) state would be re-
publican if it voted its convictions.
Working on this theory the repubh-
can leaders are making hard fight
for gains in Alabama, North Carolina,
