Ears on the Increase.
From the London Answers.

From the London Answers.
Are your ears larger than your
grandfather's? This is problem TO
which you have probably never given
any thought; but. If you compare your
own photograph with some of those
in the family album. you will prob
ably find that your ears are larger
than those of the last generation.
\ prominent ear specialist has
proved by measurement that the
tendency of the human ear is TO grow
even larger. The reason, he suggests,
is the increased number and volume
OF sounds, which is n feature of mod
ern life, especially in cities, and the
more complicated demands which are
thus made upon our hearing.

Viewing the entire situation with
as much detachment as is humanity
possible. it may be said that while
a record business for the time of the
year was probably done, the margin of
profit was small, first, because of the
intense competition developed and
second, because of changes in chan
nels through which a great deal of
the business flowed.
Lest the above might be regarded
as a depressing summary. it might be
remarked that a somewhat similar

CHAPTER XVII.

CHAPTER AVA-
Mary Rose held out her hand
Lets see what you have there?'
she asked.
But FTossie shook her blonde
head. and put her hands, with the
box In them, behind her back
mo. I won't Nosey," she began
and then she seemed to change her
mind. She looked def1antly at Mary
Rose with her liquid blue eyes, and
her full red lips Strengthened into
thin line.
IAN right, look at it! What do ]
carer" She handed over the box
with a defiant movement of her
head
Mary Rose opened it. Slowly she
took out the ring that was inside,
on a little cushion Of cream-cclored
velvet. It was a platinum band that
held a single square Jewell star
sapphire.
Wordless, she held it in the palm
of her hand-and 1t winked up at
her like a beautiful, wicked eye.
'sMr. Dexter gave it to me because
it's the color of my eyes, Flossle
said, smiling at herself IN the mir
ror. She leaned across the top of
the dresser, with its pretty litter of
bottles and powder boxes, and stud
led her face
envy eyes are about the color of
that stone,'' she added. But so long
a. he was going to buy me ring,
ia rather have had a diamond
Mary Rose stood loking down at
the ring.
She had heard Of rich men who
had pursued pretty young girls with
their attentions, but she never be-
lieved them. She was sure sucn
things didn't happen except In the
movies and in dime novels
But here the thing was happen
ing under her eyes. And she didn'
know what to do about H--olon
know how TO stop it :.
IT wonder if it's very expensive
F1ossie said, and, held out her hand
for it. But Mary Rose merely
closed her hand down over the ring.
"I'm going to take it back TO
him. She made up her mind IN an
instant
She must takeHt back to Dexter
this very night. She must let MIN
know that her sister wasn't the kind
Of girl who took rings from married
men!
And before the startled Flossle
could stop her, she was out of the
house and on her way to the hand
some residence of Hilary II. Dexter.
1t was half way across town on
the north side, set far back from the
sidewalk. in a miniature grove OF
evergreens. It's windows were glow
ing. and as Mary Rose walked up
the driveway she could hear music
from within.
Here's a man with a beauuful
home, a wife and. children, every
thing to make him happy, she
thought. And yet he bothers around
poor little Flossie. Why? Just be-
cause she's young and pretty?
Were those the most precious
things that woman had, in'a man
eyes? Youth and beauty? she
wondered. Were. they the only
things that held men?

Come on in. saml The surf is
grandl"
Sam stayed for supper, and he
and FIossie washed the dishes, while
Mary Rose hung FTossie-s little
dresses back on their hooks. and
folded her undergarments away in
the dresser drawers.
"well, that quarrel was soon
over" she said to herself, "and let's
hope that that's the end of the Dex-
ter affair.""
For q long time, It looked as If it
was the end Of it.
The weeks Of spring passed and
June was there with It's roses and its
long balmy evenings.
Mrs Middleton wrote to say that
she was going to stay with her sis
ted-in-law until the first of July, and
that she was putting up red currant
jelly to bring home with her. and
that she hoped Mary Rose had put
the winter bedding away in the ced-
ar chest.
F1ossie came home every night to
supper, and afterward she and Sam
took long drives in the Wheeler.
And then one day a little thing
happened that renewed all her fears
for F'lossie.
She picked up her desk telephone
and by some trick of crossed wires
heard Flossie talking to Hilary Dex-
ter!

ILLINOIS AIDS
BORAH'S BOOM
FOR PRESIDENT
Recent Defeat of Senator
Mckinley Encourages
Candidacy.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, April 1.-two major
political developmentsr-one of which
may have far reaching national
signifcance-have resulted from the
defeat Of the Coolidge Administra-
ton in the Illinois primary.
One is the strengthening of
Senator William E. Borah as the
States choice for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1928. The
other is the passing of Governor
Small as power in Republican
circles of the Middle West.
The Borah boom is closely allied
with the defeat of Senator William
B. Mckinley, Coolidge Republican,
by Col. Frank Smith in the race for
