THE BUS WINS FAVOR

new economic factor has entered transporta-
ton in last decade It has grown from nothing
at all to carrying system of $4,000 motor passenger
buses, with $500 companies controlling the lines
Talk about competition! There never was
time when railroad faced such competition as
these $500 companies offering today And that's
not figuring in the trucks, which for short hauls
have the railroads backed into the roundhouse.
But the railroads have the power OF this
new carrier, and rather than fight it, they adapt
ing the motor to their use. The truck and the
bus In many cities are being used auxiliaries the
railroads realizing that their field is the long haul
The figures are somewhat bitter, representing
losses to the railroads figured in millions of dollars
Thus, in 1924 the steel lines took in 200 900 fewer
fares than in 1920 This has brought the roads to a
full cognizance of what they have to fight They are
fighting this battle of competition with the very
weapons that took their fares and their freight
charges-the busses and trucks themselves.

Lillian, had arranged to have his conform looked after by the Ticers, thus releasing Katie to me. AL though there was nothing for Jim to do in the city, Lillian found him job at good wages and Katie set up housekeeping in her third floor rear room with gusto, happier than the proverbial lark at the prospect of a whole year in the city, with take your choice of ten movies every night" as she phrased it.
 "What's the Matter With You?''
 Dicky was still in ignorance of my prospective work with Philip Veritzen and believed that our talk ing the extra apartment was due to Mary Harrison's coming with us and that her other uncle. Edward Braithwaite, was defraying the extra expense. Proverbially careless in money matters, I knew that Dfcky would never find out the real ex- pense involved until after the news had been broken to him of my work, an ordeal which ] dreaded, for, fol- lowing the tragedy of Lucia Mere dith, Dicky had apparently forgot ten his anger against me and ap- peared at the new apartment, ready to settle down in amicable comfort.
 But when everything was settled the question of the destruction of Lucia Merediths notes began to haunt me. I had withheld them from Katherine's knowledge but de- stroying them outright was another thing altogether.
 Whats the matter with you?" Lillian demanded one day, when Katherine had taken Junior for a walk. Katie was enjoying herr "af- ternoon off at the nearest cinema palace and Lillian and I had stopped for cup of tea after completing Mary Harrison's room to our mu- tual satisfaction.
 Without hesitation l told her the whole story. She was familiar with most of it, anyway, and knew Katherine would not object to this true friend sharing my knowledge. When l had finished she rose to her feet and held out her hand.
 If that's all that is troubling you" she said, give those blasted things to me. l shall never tell you what l do with them, so your conscience will be clear. but you may rest assured l can exercise the most troublesome ghost that ever walked"

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
(BY DR. HUGH s. CUMMINGD Sturgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service.)

In previous articles you were given charts which showed diseases that have rapidly been brought under control, notable among these being charts of diphtheria and ty- phoid fever. Today there is shown q chart that is in very striking con- trast, namely, that of cancer.
 No one as yet has satisfactorily explained the cause of this appar- ent increase in cancer. There ase certain obvious factors that no doubt, have operated to increase the number of deaths from cancer that are reported to our health au- thorities.
 Among these factors are more ac- curate diagnosis on the part of the physicians of today, and more nearly complete report of all deaths as compared with fewer reports a number of years ago. This much of the increase is, of course, only an apparent, not an actual increase.
 Another factor which has caused an increase in the actual number of deaths reported from cancer is the fact that so many more people now live to reach the age at which can- cer develops than was formerly the case.
 After all obvious factors con- cerned in the reports of cancer are weighed, it seems fairly well estab- lished that some of the increase in cancer reported is actual and not just an apparent increase.
 How much of the increase is ap-

 She made up her mind to bury her pride, and to beg him to take her back.
 He's just got to- He's just got to!" she said to herself as she flew downstairs once more.
 "oh, Lord, please let him be at home! Let him answer the tele- phoneH' she found herself praying silently, as she gave the number of the Gaines house. Eve just got to talk to him tonight"
 Almost at once a woman's voice spoke in her ear.
 "Yes?" it asked quietly.
 May l speak to Mir. Gaines--to Mir. Anthony Gaines?" ,Aerry's breathless voice shook.
 "Who is this, please?" the cool voice asked, and Merry told who she was.
 "Oh, yes. Miss Locke! Well. Tony's gone out of town, Miss Locke" the voice went on. You knew he was going out to Mon tana, didn't you? He left the house not more than an hour ago" Merry never knew what she an- swered. She never remembered hanging up the receiver and stum- bling out onto the front porch.
 Her mother found her there an hour afterward, face downward on the cushions. She shook her by the shoulders gently.
 Wake up. Merry" she said You cant sleep out here. You'll get your death of dampness in this night air"
 Merry sat up. q wasn't asleep" she answered in a cold, dull voice. and went upstairs.
 Well, I've nothing left now but my job," she said aloud to her re- flection in the mirror. "But-1 should worry!" She was too broken-hearted to know that she was. Too broken hearted to cry, even! She felt nothing but a great weariness, like a runner after long race.
 She got into her bed and slept dreamlessly all night That night marked the finish of something sweet and fine that had touched her life with magic. Something that never came again.

Lillian Lifts Madge From Morbid
 Situation.
 It was days after Lucia Meredith had been laid to rest beside her father and mother that found courage to burn the notes which the crazed woman had left for Katherine's perusal. I had seen Dicky but once during the interval and had been cheered by his warm approval of my secreting them, an action performed wholly upon his advice. But when left to myself the morbid thought of disregarding the dead woman's last demand venomous though it was, obsessed me.
 Lillian 1t was who finally rescued me from my treadmill of accusing fancies. She had returned from her trip only the day after Lucia Mere- dith's tragic death, and, coming up to the apartment, had so filled both my time and Katherine's with brisk plans for the arranging of my sur roundings so that I could best take up Philip Veritzen's work that we had but little opportunity for mor- bid retrospection.
 By arrangement with the owners of the house I had taken the apart ment over the one we occupied and Lillian had discovered that a dis used rear stairway ran back of the bathroom and that, surrounded by the tiling, was door opening upon it. We promptly engaged carpen- ters and tilers and uncovered the old door, thus giving us a private staircase between the two floors.
 The Arrangements Completed The big front room below was to be used as a living room and a dining room upon state occasions if we had any. At all other times the unusually large kitchenette and library alcove gave Us ample ac- commodations for our dining. table. The rear room we divided into two. one for pjcky and one for me, while the third floor apartment of three rooms were given to Kath erine, with a bed for Junior. 10 Mary Harrison and rear room 10 Katie and Jim. .
 True. Mary Harrison was not vet with us, and she had not finished her term in the school she had so hated, but we expected her in a few weeks more and were quite excited in preparing dainty and pretty room for her.

 q didn't think anything about it, Docton Flint. When I came into the room after I had eaten my lunch and found Miss Cleaver on the floor in a conyulsion, it did not take me a second-although I am not a doc tor or even nurse-to come to the conclusion that she had taken poison.
 You certainly were not so anx- ious to save her life as you were to get her out of the store, for you must have known that every second that you were talking over the telc- phone meant everything to her It was then that I found the bottle and I don't mind telling you that the reason I did not show it to you was because when you came back from the telephone you were so afraid that I would get on to something that you sent me out of the room as soon as possible.
 q liked neither the way you treat cd Miss Cleaver nor myself, Doctor Flint.
 T don't think, however, that l realized that l had the bottle in my hand until I got into the elevator. When l reached my station in the store MT. Robinson came up to me away from it for two hours. Of course, 1 was very nervous over Miss Cleaver and l felt very sore on the subject. 1 wanted to make MT.
