 Hello! Madge. Can you"
 There was distinct nervousness in Edith Fairfax's voice as 1t came over the telephone. Remembering Lillian's prediction that she would not wait until afternoon to call me up, and remembering my friends expressed desire to be near by dur ing the telephone conversation, l ruthlessly interrupted Ediths ques- ton.
 Wait just a minute. will you, Ede?" I asked. T must see to some- thing before I talk"
 I made my way as swiftly as pos sible to the floor above where Lillian Lillian was working at her drawing board in Mary Harrison's room.
 Edith is on the telephone" I said.
 May I listen in on this upstairs branch phone?" she asked; for had had that convenience installed when we took the two apartments.
 That is what I came up to tell you" answered, and ran swiftly back to the living room below, knowing that by the time got back to the telephone, Lillian would have the upstairs receiver clamped to her ear.

 You can come down to the office and help us out" she returned sur prisingly. "Dicky says you have Katie with you, and that Katherine is staying with you for awhile. so you surely have plenty of time on your hands. And we're simply up against it down here for competent help"
 My first impulse was to give her a decided negative favored with indignation. But I bottled up my choler and asked quietly:
 What is the work you want done, Edith?"
 She outlined it, and the stopper of my bottle of indignation flew off explosively. For the tasks she was asking me to undertake were a cross between those of a filing clerk and an office girl. But before I gave her the definite refusal which was crowding to my lips. asked a ques-

TOO MUCH FOR A NICKEL!
: BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

We have thing in this country that's too
cheap-the Saturday Evening post. We get too much
for nickel in this excellent and prolific magazine, and
l, for would be glad to- give Mr.. Lorimer dime a
week to get him to of the contents.
Every time you settle down happily with a new
issue-and don't the Thursdays close together7
you hope to be able to finish story to the end.
But generally this is dream There two hundred
and fifty pages and UP, filled with too many adver-
tisements hundreds OF articles and tales all long,
and never the end in sight Of of them.
The country much to Mr. Edward Box, but
this is one thing for which he deserves five years IN
jail-this idea which he hit upon day when ne
was editing the Ladies' Home Journal Of running the
reading matter with the advertisements We have
suffered for that thought ever since.
Some fans get through the Post every week. per-
haps, but the most Of merely look at the
the most startling advertisements and let go that
for If you planning reading anything
ing the week, you might we'll give up the Post be-
cause you can't make both.
Writers look upon this magazine as literary
Mecca However, if it continues enlarge an author
so submerged in vast Of highly colored adver-
tsements that he can't hope to catch the eye the
average nickel reader
He will be lost amid the pictures of lovely ladies
exposing hosiery Riddles froicng in gorgeous bath
rooms, large shining automobiles young lounging
about in evening dress salad dressing Iisterine
About the only way the average busy person could
ever get one issue of the Post read completely and
well would be to arrange to become castaway upon
desert island and take a cop along.

THE RAPID CONVERSION

On the surface the United States Senatec In
rcredibly swift adoption of the Reed resolution to In
yestigate campaign expenditures in Pennsylvania
and elsewhere is little short of amazing.
Even today, forty-eight hours after it is all
over. a good many people are still wondering how
1t happened.
The Washington Post, Administration organ
tries to explain it by saying Republican ranks, tenn
i porariy demoralized by Peppers defeat In the
pennsylvania primaries "were taken by surprise"
Which Is the truth, far as it goes Certain
It is thought Senator Reed of Missouri singe-handed
and alone toyed with them and bantered them ike
a champion heavyweight badgers a groggy opponent
inst before he uncorks the walop that precedes the
count of ten.
lust ~ minutes passed between the time the
motion to consider Reeds discussion won by vote
Of As to a. and the adoption Of the resolution Itself
by a vote Of SO to 10.
"In that interval Of time" Senator Reed tainted
"twenty-one Senators changed their minds. If we'd
had three or four minutes more the other thlrteen
might have changed theirs, too"
This change Of votes on this question, the Sena-
tor was significant. And it was No temporary de-
moralization by Peppers defeat could explain 1t.
The thing that happened in that IA minutes was
that the memory Of every Senator present became d
screen across which flashed in review the whole
Newberry scandal, the subsequent investigation and
what happened afterward, to election time
ITO gain the boon of liberty for us" as Senator
Harrison told them Wednesday, men have laid be-
hind prison walls until brown locks turned to gray
and rotted on their temples.
Through the miasma Of swamps, through for
est Depths beneath the burning sum- amidst the win
ters snow in starvation and In despair, our fathers
fought on and on until at last they established the
right to self-government
"And that right is all concentrated in the simple
right to cast free mans vote"
Voters are not yet all-wise, but they are learn
ing At least the day is gone when fortunes may be
spent in discriminatory trying to get into office With
out anybody rising to inquire as to how and why
Voters know that selfgovernment is dead and
that vote becomes joke II Office can be bought.
And rest assured that since the Newberry episode
every Senator knows that the voters know. Thus
it does not require any 7A minutes for the average
politician to make up his mind what to do when an
investigation is demanded to safeguard what hath
arisen so aptly called the free mans simplest right
But Watson, with Robinson tagging, was not
converted. He simply away, refused to vote,
avoided his duty. Indiana silent in a vote on
honesty.

according to engineers, will save
Chicago millions OF dollars every
year.
FIST, it is estimated that by hav-
ing the gutter in the center draining

ceptible grade. the city can cut It's

BY this new principle. originally
