SANDY BY Elenore Mehenn

Ben Murillo driving with woman at
Misunderstanding her off as his
wife
Alice commented: MAY Arliss
rang up your house to find out about
it and your husband tells her the news
paper made a mistake, that it was his
sister and not his wife who was driv-
ing with him. Some aIibi, isn't it?
Wonder who the dame is! Gosh, If
she doesn't get any more out of him
than you did! Couldn't you use this
against him? But I suppose his de-
voted Beatrice would swear by all the
gods that she was the woman"
For a reason that she didn't at
first analyze, Sandy felt as though
a weight dropped from her. She
told herself: I'm glad! Goblin
glad!" She went almost running TO
the beach. She rubbed her hands
along her arm as though she were
pushing chains from her.
She was free OF him completely.
His infidelity left her free. 1t dis
solved even the moral ties he might
still have held.
She looked at the wide stretch of
waters. Far out whale sent a sill
YER geyser upward. She thought !:
I'm alone. l belong to myself
now"
These words made her cheeks
burn. She went with still, tight
ened expectancy back to the house.
She busted it. She put peoples that
she had picked in the glowing field
on fha fahlac and shalvae Nau ouI
then she looked OF the clock. To-
wards s o'clock she kept going to the
door, peering into the shadows
At 8 she heard step. She closed
the door quickly, clasping her hands
against her chin. But she pulled it
open, giving a quick, frightened laugh.
Not Ramon, a messenger boy, was
coming up the walk. He had a tele-
gram. Ramon wasn't coming.

PROGRAM
President Faces New Year
With Usual Number
of Problems.
BY JOHN T. LAMBERT
Univer.al Service Staff Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. p
President Coolidge, sustained by popu-
lar approval, supported by an enthu-
siastic House, and watched intently
for any slip by a none too friendly
Senate, faces the year 1926 with these
Important prospects:
1. That his 1926, 100000 tax-slash
bill will be rushed through Congress
in whirl of non-partisan support.
= 2. That his desire to strip the Or
binary expenses of the government to
$1,000, 900, 900, for the first time since
the war, may be achieved. '
8. That his demand for an air force
commensurate with the prestige Of the
nation will result in increased mill
tary forces and development of scores
of private flying units which can be
Communicated in emergency.
vEXED BY PROBLEMS.
(. That his program for improve
ment Of inland waterways to meet the
increased needs of transportation re-
sulting from industrial expansion will
result at least in elaborate develop
ment Of the Colorado and Mississippi
rivers.
5. That his World Court proposal,
provoking a growing opposition, may
be decorated by the Senate with flock
of reservations that will render it less
harmful, from the viewpoint of the
irreconcilables.
President Coolidge begins the new
year vexed by as many foreign and
domestic problems as confront a pres
ident usually. He proposed to Con-
gress the largest and most varied pro-
gram in many years, yet, he will be
fully satisfied, it is understood, il
Congress will adopt a half-dozen of
his major recommendations and adj
journ.
