are improved and used, the Panama
Canal is not help but hindrance to
the Middle West.
The tremendous advantage in
freight rates to and from the Pacific
Coast and the Orient tends, like the
never-ceasing pressure of glacier,
to force industry and commerce to-
ward locations on or near the Atlantic
seaboard. Any advantage that might
result to seaboard cities would be APP
parent rather than real, temporary
rather than permanent. The cities of
the East have grown great and pros
porous not in spite of the development
of the West, but because of it.
Improving every possible outlet to
the sea to the utmost, and using them
all to the limit, will
First, Decrease the cost of ship
ping Western products to distant
markets;
Second, Create new and better mar
kets close at hand; and
Third, Change the Panama Canal
from hindrance to help. :
Agricultural depression will give
way to an abiding prosperity-a pros
perity in which the railroads of the
West, the cities of the East, and the
Nation as a whole will amply share.
This gives much food for thought,
and if anything can be done through
the opening up of water ways, to help
the farming interests of this section,
should get busy.

The persistence of the bObbed Golf

most determined efforts to end its
domination, declares a Paris fashion
correspondent in the New York Her
ald-Iribune. The Parisienne at Monte

TWELVE CHICKS
an ~ WIkJIfRNLEWI WI9fPEP WnlIUI

1t had been several weeks that Moth
er Hen had been waiting patiently for
the little chicks to hatch forth.
1t had seemed long wait, but
Mother Hen was patient. AT last they
began to come forth.
Their little heads came forth first
and they broke open their shells and
slowly they broke away from their
shells.
Some might have thought they did it
very quickly, but Mother Hen thought
they were a trifle slow. She was so
eager to see her darlings.
In no time at all they were able to
run about and play and follow their
dear, devoted Mother Hen about the
barnyard.
They were so soft with their downy
yellow feathers and their little bodies
were so cunning and their little voices
so sweet.
There were twelve little chicks In
all, twelve darling little babies, and
Mother Hen was very proud, as well
she might have BEEN"
She scratched the earth for seeds,
she looked for little goodies for her
darling wee yellow chicks.

Six Styles of Heels Used on Women's Shoes

Whether 1t Is due to vanity or not,
there is no one thing that women
shoppers are more concerned about
when buying a pair of shoes than the
heel. This perfectly feminine trait Is
not altogether to be scOffed at. Aside
from the style and the curve that
neatly turned heel can give to trim
foot, it has a lot to do with the COM
fort and poise of the body and,
whether you are aware Of 1t or not,
observes a writer in the Kansas City
Star, with the service you are going
to get out of the shoe.
Heels either are cut out of wood and
covered with material to match the
rest of the shoe, or they are made out
Of leather substitutes, or of all leather
Leather heels are the most expensive,
but when the one Is made out Of all
leather, you may know that 1t will be
absolutely satisfactory under all condi-
tions. Sometimes leather substitutes
or wood are used for half the heel, aud
the last three or four lifts are made Of
leather.
There are six styles which are seen
Arizona state miner., 1925-03-28

most frequently in women's shoes.
They are: French, Louis XIV, Baby
Louis, military, Cuban, common sense
or fiat heel.
The French heel is the highest heel
made, differing from the Louis XIV in
that the latter is usually not so high
and does not have so pronounced a
curve. The French heel has a decided
curve in the back and spreads out at
the bottom to make supporting area
Of about square inch.
A Cuban heel differs from French
heel in that it has back line which
slopes gradually to the bottom, with
out the decided curve-in. 1t Is lower
than the French heel.
The military heel, having a straight
back line, has a larger surface area
than the Cuban. It is always lower
than the Cuban.
A Baby Louis heel Is similar In
shape to French heel, but is only one
or one and One-half inches high.
The common sense heel Is lower and
fiatter than military heel.

are half dull and half brilliant, be-
ing made Of grosgrain ribbon and
strands o. artificial silk.
Lewis, who has popular hat shop
In Monte Carlo, is using straw cloth
which is woven to look like corded
silk. Interesting small shapes are
fully covered with this straw cloth
and are dfscreetly trimmed with
strange looking flowers, such as q single
rose made of a messy silk and foliage
that is shaggy with silk strands re-
sembling hair. This ornament Is
perched high on the crown. In another
model two tiny rifflebirds are resting
across the top Of high crown with
their bills pointed to the skies.
The atgrette is still very fashionable
in France and many of the smartest
hats are adorned with glistening POM
pOns Of this most delicate and airy
feather. There is great fancy for
these little tassel-like ornaments In
several colors, either perched on tho
crown to give height or else sauclly
turned down over one ear.
The all red hat retains surpris-
ing popularity. 1t is seen In felt in
straw cloth, in grosgrain silk and in
straw, notably in dyed bangkok and
picot. The peanut straw is used where
a less expensive hat is desired, as the
bangkok remains very high in price
on account Of the rate of exchange
counted against the franc.

CHAPTER VII.
Gertrude was more than content
with the luncheon companion on the
following morning. In some subtle
but unmistakable way Grants atti-
tude seemed to have changed. He
looked at her with undisguised admir-
alton and the table which he had
selected was in the most secluded
corner of the famous restaurant at
the end of the Arcade. She gave a
little cry of delight as she leaned over
the great bowl of pink roses which
were awaiting her.
"How wonderful she exclaimed.
How wonderful to have you here, p"
he murmured, gallantly.
She looked at him with faint air
of surprise Yesterday he had
seemed all reserve, sometimes even a
little cold. Today his department was
almost that of lover.
why are you so much nicer than
yesterday" she asked, as she took
her place.
MY resistance is weakening" he
confessed.
She gave a little sigh of content.
Il think" she confided, that l am
going to enjoy my luncheon. But
before we say another word-tell me
some more about this horrible tragedy.
What was it? Heart disease?'
Grant nodded.

"Why did Naga motor all the way
from the other side of Nice to see
Lord Yeovil SO late last night?" she
inquired.
Something to do with the meeting
at Nice" he replied indifferently.
Let's talk about ourselves, Ger
trude.''
She allowed her hand to rest for a
moment on his. Again she looked
at him, half curiously, half with
qualification.
You are really much nicer than the
Lymane boy" she declared, "and l
thought that 1 should have to rely
upon him for a Irritation.
You'll do nothing of the sort, he
announced, brusquely.
"Mayn't 1 dine with him?'
No" was the firm reply. HE has

a little laugh, "but you see I'm be-
ginning to have confidence in you
or rather in your indifference to these
things"
why did you ever doubt me?" he
asked. II told you yesterday that 1
had finished with politics"
Well, she explained, you know
how careful Germans are. You used
to be in the diplomatic service, and
I've heard you spoken of once or
twice as a person who ought to be

most empty at their first coming, had
now filled up. Gertrude looked about
her in surprise.

room. Her eyes, however, had a
shade of reproach in them as they
met Grants.

you," he protested IF there's an
unpopular one in the party it isn't
you. Look how Lymane is glaring at
me. Gertrude, you won't dine with
him, will you?'

asked for the second time.
There was no particular reason
that l know of. except that things
are not going quite so smoothly as
they should at the conference" he
confided Baron Naga, 1 think,
wanted to explain his position.
"In Berlin they say that the Pact
is breaking up" she told him, dropping
her voice a little. II never thought
that it would last so long. America
did well to keep out of it,
He nodded with assumed self
satisfaction.
Eyes, l think we did the right
thing" he agreed. America doesn't
need allies, and she certainly doesn [
want to be dragged in to pull the
chestnuts out of any one elses fire.

No one can hurt her. Thank God

"Supposing America were asked to
join the Pact today; do you think she
would CONSENT"
I'm sure she wouldn't" he replied
confidently. Not the ghost of a
chance of it. She's been out for all
these years, making her own CONNER
cial treaties, and today is easily the
richest country in the world. Why
should she changer"
why, indeed" Gertrude murmured.
II was just interested to know how

"Owing?" she repeated.
II mean 1t. If you have any

to bestow, these gifts belong to me. .
Again she looked at him search
ingly.
Why are you so changed since
yeserteday?"
Yesterday the old soreness had
come back" he explained. II loved
you and hated you. Today things
seem to have fallen into "a clearer
perspective. I don't hate you any
more"
And do you-love me a little?"
He looked into her eyes, which, be-
fore his earnest gaze, became family
troubled.

ing somehow that you're not serious.
And besides-supposing 1 were to lose

Even then" he said you might

She became silent for a time,

which had filled her mind had been
torclbly elected.
