with the rest. He seemed unusually
interested. more so than Mona had
ever seen him, save when he was with
her. Ronny as interested as that In
some one else, 1t was. TO say the
least. disconcerting.
AS she came on down the stairs she
was conscious of the fact that her
confidence had been shaken for the
second time in the space OF half an
hour. She was not so sure of herself
as she would have liked. 1t was this
assurance that compelled people TO
look at her. She wore 1t like chal-
lenge.
She reached the foot of the staircase
and hesitated for a moment. Surely
Ronny would see her and come to her?
But he evidently did not see her, and
at the same time Edith hailed her
from across the room. AS Mona
joined the group around the tea table
Edith was chatting vivaciously in her
bright, false way. She had the insin-
cere manner that so many of the
women in their set possessed. but 1t
was more obvious in her than in some
of the others.
We've just been talking about

turning to Mona. She's the most fas-
cinating child. All the men in the
place nave lOI OOlli yOhi6

AT that moment Ronny came across
the room TO Mona and she turned to
greet him. AS her blue eyes sought
his face little feeling of relief swept
over her. He seemed just the same.
Mona" he said. almost under his
breath, you darling"
She threw him a look from under
her long lashes.
"Who is this fascinating Fritzie?
She seems to have all the men en-
thralled. You didn't even see me
Come down stairs
Ronny half turned so that he could
see the girl A group of men still
surrounded her, and they all seemed
to be hanging on her words.
"Friezie Lang. Edith's niece" said

New York City.
Is It contrary to Protestant doctrine
and practice for members of the
Protestant churches to pray for their
loved ones who have gone on before
that they may be blessed?
Answer-Prayers for the dead are
not permissible from the viewpoint of
original Professionalism. But there is a
wide diversity of theory and practice
upon this matter in modern Protes-
tantism.
In many of it's circles the pendulum
swings today toward that fellowship
with Christ and with departed loved
ones Of which prayer is the essential
element.
The more humane conceptions of
the future life which now prevail have
also fostered the habit of praying for
those whose interests are precious to
us. either in this world or the next. l
believe it to be commendable devo-
ton.

What is there in the scientific realm
more real than the moral law? And
what can science do for us in the
higher realms of imagination?
Answer-There is nothing more GER
tain in human experience than the
existence Of the moral law, and every
tribe and nation testiffes to it's sway.
Men have different ideas about it and
occupy relative positions toward its
highest demands, but all are on some
| x<A nfh LODI
of every creed, theological or anti
theological, agree as to the general
substance of this law and the reverent
obedience which 1t imposes upon the
race.
Science is supreme in the realms of
Imagination so long as she sticks to
her own business. Outside 1t she is
impotent. She cannot pass beyond
the phenomena she varifies to the SUI
preme wisdom and power which Gre
ated them. Nor has science, strictly
defined. any test to apply which dis
tinguishes between the merits of a

Is infinite we know, but we do not de.

agination.

Instead of affirming that knowledge
is power" would 1t not be better for q
Christian to affirm that faith is
power?
Answer--Are you not trying to
make two truths quarrel when they
should be good friends? Obviously
knowledge is power. Who can deny

The tractor driver who had to get an
engineer to start it was taught a SINH

The engineer tapped the tractor with
his hammer and the wheels moved Inn

For starting the tractor, 25 cents;
for knowing how to do 1t, $25."
The power of faith. however, is
morally greater than the power of

Chicago, III.
Isn't it true that the smaller the
country the more successful a demo
cratic form of government will be,
and vice versa?
Answer--Pure democracy is an ideal
which has never yet been reduced to
practice. Representative democracy,
whether in large or small countries,
depends upon it's moral quality for its
efficiency and stability.
Some states, like ancient Rome.
were both saved and doomed by their
huge expansions in territory and in
crease of population. The state named
gradually passed from a nominal de-
mocracy into an actual, imperial tyr
amy.
On the other hand, Great Britain has
developed from a near absolute mon
archy into a worldwide but democra-
tiZed empire.
The boldness of the American con-
stitutional experiment was heightened
by its application to continental
area. Modern democracies, such as
once existed to a given extent in the
free cities of Europe. and which still
exist in the Swiss confederacy, oper:
ated within very circumscribed limits.
Yet they were and are no more free or
more efficient than Great Britain and
our own republic.
Our doctrine Of popular sovereignty
is now accepted and practiced by IS
federalized commemorative. some of
which are themselves nations in point
of size and population.
The term democracy is used in this
question in a loose way. Yet what
ever may be the implications, democ-
racy always requires strong, vigor-
GUS national heart to pump good blood
to the confines of so large a political
frame as the United States of America.
The permissible conclusion would
seem TO be that the probity. freedom
and power of the central government,
rather than the size OF the country,
are the decisive factors in the success
of a flexible and representative de-
mocracy.

Hancock Gets North's Soup.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., August Z
1776.-The privateer Hancock arrived
here today, bringing in as captive a
large three-decked British ship named
the Reward, of between 500 and 600
tons burden. The Reward had been
a twenty-gun warship, and when taken
she was on voyage from Tortola to
London. Her cargo consisted of LOO
hogsheads of sugar, Sc hogsheads of
rum, IL bales of cotton. and nine can
non, some of them brass.
She also had on board a number
of turtles, directed to Lord North,
with his name cut in the shell. The
best of these Captain Wingate New
man, master Of the Hancock, will send
with his compliments to the Honor
able John Hancock. president of the
Continental Congress, with the hope
that President Hancock may dine with
pleasure upon real turtle soup at the
expense of Lord North. President
Hancock will remember Lord North
as one of the authors of the many mis-.
cries which drove these colonies to
free themselves from all political con-
nections with the British crown.

Enormous Bows for Women's Ties
BY MARY MARSHALL.

worn. During the recent and late
| lamented vogue for mannish clothes
| the four.in-hand tie was affected by
lots of women as supplement to the
mannish tweed suit and Straightllne
top coat The shirt blouse with Whlcn
it was worn had sometimes hign
soft collar of the sort that men wear.
But only a few women ma such COZ
lars comfortable. They have been
spoiled by the years of loW.necked or
collarless daytime frocks. The horse
accustomed from colthood to the check
rein finally gets used to it. but the
horse who had never known such
contrivance would doubtless rear and
kick If introduced to it in later life.
So do women find the cloSe-nttlng
shirt collar more annoying than do
men who have become accustomed to
1t from youth.
four-in-hand tie may be arranged
on collar that is comfortably low at
the front. But somebody in Paris
started the trick of wearing an enor-
nous bow at the front of the comfort
able turn over collar-a very exag-
gerated edition of the tie still affected
by a few habitues of the Latin
Quarter.
Twenty years or more ago girls wore
these enormous neck bows. There
were Buster Brown collars, not I'M
like those shown on one or two of the
new frocks. And then there was an
enormous bow large enough to hide
almost the entire blouse. The more
daring you were in matters of dress
the larger your bow. The girl with a
very small bow was usually regarded
as a prude and a poor sport.
Sometimes these ties are in dark
navy blue or black, and sometimes in
Scotch plaid. A charming little French
ensemble has short, finely pleated
skirt in navy blue. with a short,
straight jacket in beige and an enor-
nous bow of Scotch plaid silk at the
front, the ends extending almost to
the edge of the jacket.

NEW YORK, Jan 25.-For the
second night in succession, eastern
radio stations taking part in the
International broadcast tests, lost
three fourths OF the lime allotted
to them because of mishap to a
ship at sea- The British steamer
was reported tonight in distress in
mid ocean with her bulkheads stove
in and with the German steamer
Bremen going to her rescue. The
sos from the Laristan was received
at Z o'clock tonight but the identity
of the ship was not, known until
after half past ten. All broadcasting
was held up during this period. The
Laristan left Swansea, Wales, Janu-
airy for New York. She is ship
of 1857 net tons, carrying a crew
estimated by shipping men at be-
tween 20 and 80 men.
After losing sight of the sinking

declared he killed his wife in helf
defense.
"My wife had been married several
times before she married me-" Baird
said "When I found out she had
married me without getting divorce

to prosecute her for perjury. She
seized revolver and pointed it at
me, and to save my own life I struck
her with flat iron. When 1 found
she was dead I dragged her body
outside and buried it near the house."
