merry party in the studio apart
ment of Carter Blake, New York,
Jerry (Geraldine) Harmer, Pru-
dence's daughter, meets Duane
Allerton, wealthy idler. He ad-
mires her tremendously, and she
likes him. But Allerton gets
bit exhilerated, with unfortunate
results. Jerry, resenting his as
sumption of familiarity, leaves
the party abruptly. The story
turns to Jerry's childhood and
youth at her home in Des Moines.
Only child of wealthy father,
when she is twenty she feels the
call of Art and asks her parents
to let her go to New York for
study. With some misgiving, they
agree to her going. In New York
Jerry makes her home with
Mrs. Delaney ("Mimi"), an act
ress, who, with Theresa. paint
er, occupies the house. Jerry
takes an immediate liking to
Theresa, who is talented and
eccentric, and the two become
fast friends. Jerry now devotes
herself to Theresa, who returns
her liking. Jerry poses for Their
esa's masterpiece, The Ocean
Rider" Allerton calls on Jerry.
The girl refuses to see him. At
hotel dinner Jerry sees Duane
and is conscious of his admira-
ton, but refuses to change her
attitude toward him. Jerry be-
comes convinced she has not the
ability to become an artist. At
a party Jerry again sees Duane,
and will not recognize him.
Theresa hints that Jerry should
go home. and promises her a
present" Returning from an
evening of gayety, Jerry is
shocked at hearing from Mimi
that Theresa has killed herself.

Jerry could say to that.
Mimi lay rigid among the cushions,

cutting her flesh with the gaudy
stones, Jerry looked at her-the Law

fully worried skin with its layers of
cream and rouge. the voluptuous figure
with its molding of fine French stays.
Jerry saw her in cloud of artificial
lights, the center of artificial laughter,
firtations, affairs and intrigues-saw
also the light kindness, the generous
delicacy of speech and manner. the
friendly camaraderie. And she saw
Theresa dead by her own hand in tn

And then, as poor, suffering Mimi
faded out, Jerry saw Prudence, clear
cut and vivid saw the fine-llned ten
der face, the gentle twist of the hui
morous mouth, the laughing, plaintive
sympathy of the soft, sweet eyes.
Jerry stared and stared. Her eyes
burned painfully, her throat throbbed
there was great longing in her heart
In that moment, Prudence's daugh-
ter, she ran suddenly to Mimi, caught
her in her strong, tender arms, kissed
her, cried over her, fondled her, and
Mimi, after one slight, apologies,
high-strained laugh. buried her face N
Jerry's arms and broke into helpless
weeping.
Jerry helped her out of the lavish
gown. out of the combining closeness
of the French stays, and into loose,
light robe. She bathed her face,
stroked her hair. hung over her with
pitiful, sweet solicitude. And Mimi
chung to her all night long, sobbing
brokenly, writhing in hysterical an
guish, and would not let her go.
Jerry stayed with Mimi in the house
on Reilly's alley until after the funeral
-Theresa's funeral-when groups of
her brilliant, wondering friends crowd
ed into the little flower-tilled room at
Mietta's to do last honor to her tragic
memory, and went away again, after
ward, slowly, talking 1t over, agreeing
that after all, in a way, 1t seemed
rather congruous thing. that such
a one as Theresa, divinely driven,
should flash like meteor across a
starry sky to fade at once In final,
dominant flash at the height of her
brilliance, rather than fade away, as
many do, into a dull and doddering
mediocrlty.
The night after the funeral Jerry,
slipping softly down the hall toward
Minis room, was arrested by the
silken. silvery voice.
"Oh, you bad boy This is. the
third-at six dollars pint"
Jerry turned slowly back to her
room. She was not deceived by that
brave resumption of the old routine.
She knew that Minis heart, artificial,
shallow though it might be, had suf-
fered grievously cruel shock and she
marveled that the hollow shell could
send back an echo so musical to a
world that had given her only its
bitter dregs.
Jerry went into her room. pulled
out her bags, and began at once to
pack the things of her possession.
Jerry was going home.

Blaine Predicts
Business Boom
Improvement of Business Conditions
in Wisconsin Looked For; Takes
Rap at "knocker."

An improvement of Wisconsin bus
mess conditions is predicted by Gov
ernor John J. Blaine in New Years
message to the people this week.
That at the present time he thinks
the "knocker" is doing more injury
to Wisconsin than any other agency.
The governor declares that in the
years 1922 and 1928 no less than
ia new manufacturing concerns
were established in Milwaukee alone
and that the capital invested in man
ufacturing in that city increased
by $20,0G0,000. In 16 cities, 1873
new manufacturing establishments
were started during these two years,
with a capital investment of 1884,
5000.
Wisconsin has forged ahead in
every other respect" declared the
statement. ''Its people are not only
industrious, but intelligent. Wiscon-
sin has the lowest percentage of il
literacy east of the Mississippi
While Wisconsin has fewer men of
great wealth than many other states,
it has higher percentage of home
ownership and of savings accounts.
Politically Wisconsin is neither
radical nor reactionary. 1t is pro-
q essive. It's government is essen
TALLY sound and business like. Its
laws have stood the test of time, as
shown by the extent to which they
have been copied elsewhere, Truly,
Wisconsin upon it's past record can
stand comparison with any state.
"The new year will bring its pro-
blems. But there is no reason why
Wisconsin should not continue to go
forward A hopeful sign is that
many Wisconsin business men have
come to realize that. their worst en-
envy is the man who knocks" this

Wisconsin Leads in Cheese
Co-onarafsvaa

A recent survey by the United
States department of agriculture
shows that 20 per cent of all coop
erative cheese factories in the United
States are in Wisconsin, that 90 per
cent of farmers belonging to such en-
terprises are located in Wisconsin
and that 20 per cent of the business
handled in 1928 by cooperative asso-
Citations for marketing cheese was
transacted by Wisconsin organiza-
tions.
The study brought forth facts in
dicating that the cooperative cheese
factory is probably the oldest of the
cooperative enterprises so far as
American agriculture is concerned.
Reference is made to a Wisconsin
farmer who as early as 1841 per-
suaded his neighbors to turn their
surplus milk over to him to make
into cheese for the benefit of all.
Oregon is second to Wisconsin as
regards the cooperative making OF
cheese, although Oregon has but one
eighth as many associations as Wis
consin. The Oregon organizations
handle one-fifth as much business as
the Wisconsin enterprises. New
York state is third in the cooperative
line.

Industrial Commission
Sets New Record
Compensation Awards During 1924
TotaIed $3,S62,729; Largest
Paid Out in Single Year

Madison-The state industrial
commission announced today that it
had set record in the amount of
compensation awards during 1924
with a total of $3,S62,729 paid dur
ing the fiscal year.
This amount is the largest that has
, ever been paid out in a single year.
There were 22,393 cases settled, also
a record number for Wisconsin.
The amount of indemnity paid out
was $2,803,249 and the cost of
medical aid reported was 81 ,059.-
$50. The average indemnity paid
per case was $125, and the average
cost of medical aid was SAT. The
medical aid reported does not in
clude medical aid in cases in which
the disability was less than eight
days. 1t is estimated that if these
cases were included, the total medical
aid would be about 80 per cent
greater than Indicated
Awards of the commission were
made in 1,240 cases. This consti-
tutes 5.5 percent of the total number
of cases settled, but is responsible
for 46.5 per cent of the total indem-
nifty.
In addition to the 1,240 cases in
which awards were made, there were
522 cases in which the commission
entered orders for dismissal and 1922
cases which were settled between the
parties without an order of the COM
mission, after applications for adj
justment of claim had been filed.
Not all of the ,240 cases in which
awards were made by the commission
represent contested cases, since 10
per cent of them were submitted to
the commission upon stipulation of
facts. 1t has been the commissions
policy to encourage the filing of such
stipulations in death cases, because
this saves widows and other depen-
dents attorneys fees and other ex-
penses, besides shortening the time it
takes to arrive at a definite determ-
ination of the amounts employers
and insurance companies must pay.
Altogether 81 per cent of the total
indemnity involved in cases which
were disposed of by an award of the
commission was in death cases, most
of which were handled upon stipula-
tions.
The number of cases on the con-
tested calendar as of June 30, 1924,
was 1913, but the cases in which no
hearings had been held numbered
only 210 Temporary orders had
been made in 90 of the cases not
actually closed, and in Ga of the
cases stipulations were pending. In
the remaining 500 cases, hearings
had been held but no decision
rendered.
In handling the contested cases the
commission has continued to follow
the procedure it developed in former
years. Such contested cases are
started by an application for the ad-
justment of the claim, coming usually
from the injured employee, but some
times from the employer or in
surance carrier. Hearings upon
these contested cases are conducted
either by an examiner or by one
member of the commission. All
decisions, however, are made by the
commission as a body at meeting
held regularly every week for this
purpose.
