to flutter like them. before it fell to low note.
 MacCloud could hear 1t above the melancholy sound of "rhe ve- netian Love Song that the studio musicians were playing, in order that Miss Joan Joyce might cry in this particular scene. Miss Joyce could always cry to "The Venetian Love Song" when noth- ing else could squeeze a tear out of her!
 Every studio has an organist who plays a little folding organ for the benefit of the actors When there is sad scene. the music is sad. And when the scene Is to be gay and cheerful the music Is jazzy and poppy.
 I'm too happy to feel upset and headache-y now!" Boobies light voice rippled on above the sobbing of the love song "Oh. MT. Schultz think this Is the most wonderful work in the world--being in the movies!"
 Roy Schultz looked at her sol emnly. He knew people as few peo- pie ever know them. And he had sized Robbie up as exactly what she was-a tenderly reared girl who knew nothing of the seamy side of life. Who never could buck up against things the way Monica Mont could. for instance. Who was created soft and gentle for the soft and gentle things of life.
 Its the most heart-breaking game In the world-the movies he told her. And it's worse for q woman to be in than it is for man. So unless you've got q hide like a hippopotamus and the cour- age of lion. you haven't any busi- ness staying in it. I'm going to give you bit in this scene-and then you may not have another days work for two weeks. It's tough game!"
 Not for mel" B bic answered him, and wondered why he shook his head as he filled a medicire dropper with glycerine to make tears on the cheeks of Miss Joan Joyce, the star.
 And then. all at once, she stopped wondering. For a man had stepped out of the shadows behind the cameras and was coming toward her. A man with ice-blue eyes. and hair that was just the shade of his tan necktie and his golf stockings
 "MacCloud" said Robbie to her. self. She felt her face grow hot. and wondered if he could see her blush in the dimness.

Tn love!" Lillian repeated scorn- fully. That epitomized bluefish hasn't the slightest idea of the mean ing of the word. It's as much as he can do to spell it. He certainly couldn't parse it. He may be at tracted to her. She's fresh and win some enough to attract even blase, spoiled lad like him. But, on the othe hand, he may not have the slightest interest of that sort in her."
 Then why?" began, bewildered.
 Did you ever hear of an emotion called revenge?' Lillian asked quiz zically.
 Jften." I replied promptly. But do.'t see Oh, you mean be- cause she's Philip Veritzen's pro- tegee?"
 T though 1t would finally per c late through your alleged brain, she said. Jack Leslie hates the veritzens, father and son, with a whole -heartedness and vigor that would make him successful man if he applied those qualities to any decent line of endeavor. Anything he could do to spoil any cherished plan of Philip Veritzen's would be simply nuts. also raisins, to him. To take this young girl on whom Phil yeritzen is counting for one of the most spectacular triumphs of his career-oh, yes. I happen to kpcw that particular little thing about Phil and drag her down from that high plane in some spectacular way which would mortify Veritzen-that is the thing I'm afraid the 'capering cock roach as Dicky so appropriately calls him, is planning to do.'

 I turned startled face to Lillian although the idea which she had just advanced was not new to me. but I found it upsetting to have my own secret fear voiced openly.
 You think then" I hesitated and she answered my unspoken question.
 "I think that Jack Leslie has been trying to win Mary's love-yes," she said decidedly. So do you, only you haven't said 1t out loud yet. How far he's succeeded nobody but Mary knows. although her swoon at Dicky's spiel about Noel Veritzen and Jack being at swords points over the mysterious masked dancer would indicate that her heart was engaged to the point of fierce jeal- ousy."
 T agree with you that it looks that way" I said slowly as she paused. And it certainly means endless espionage. really had thought that we were free of the menace of Jack Leslie when we had not seen him for 50 long"
 You'll never be free from that menace as long as Mary's your re- sponsibiiity," Lillian said.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine

During the past quarter of cen tury disease known as chlorosis, which was form of secondary ane- mia largely affecting young girls, seems to have disappeared entirely from the practice of medicine.
 The condition was apparently due to the habits of life, consist ing of secluded existence in- doors and the avoidance of the substances in the diet which have largely to do with the building of the blood.
 Valuable Foods
 Investigations carried out in modern laboratories indicate that certain food substances are espe- cially valuable in building up the blood. The University of Roch- ester School of Medicine has con. ducted a number of investigations with foods provided by the live. stock interests and administered by the National Research Council
 They found that muscle fibers are valuable to the production of blood building products in anemic animals. In order to produce hemoglobin, the red coloring of the blood, which is charged with the carrying of oxygen. practically all meat was of value. However, chicken gizzards, pig body muscle. beet heart and beef muscle were of value in the order given.
 The kidney seems to be one of the most favorably diet factors for promoting rapid production of the red blood cells and hemoglo- bin during severe anemia. For example, 200 to 900 grams of cooked kidney daily in the diet caused production Of from GO to 100 grams of hemoglobin in a two-week diet period above the amount produced by a standard bread-fecding.
 Milk Poor Builder
 Milk has an extremely valuable substance in the diet, providing many factors of importance, in- cludng some vitamins and min- eral salts. On the other hand. it seems to stand at the foot of the class Of dietary substances for bringing about rapid regeneration of the blood in severe anemia.
 This is especially important in attempting to build children up after convalescence from some in- fectious disease. Milk alone un- der such circumstances will not provide the blood building sub stance provided through the other foods that have been mentioned.
 Butter fat and cream were somewhat more favorable. but not nearly so valuable as the meat products that have been men, toned.

THE EVENING STORY

I over to the opposite bank until the
steamer passed on. He started wig
| wagging a signal to the fisherman,
| but soon noted the baleful glare OF "a
ships officer turned upon him, so he
desisted.
! He was in a quandry and began TO
despair of being able to escape unseen,
when a burly deck hand brushed past
/ him and thumped heavy barrel al
most on his toes. John was seized
| with "A sudden inspiration. He turned
| to the sturdy laborer.
Listen, my good man" he said.
| There's person standing near
! the gangplank that I wish TO avoid.
! Now you are not averse to making
| some extra money, are you? See that
| empty barrel? | will crawl into it,
| You put it on your hand truck and
wheel it over behind that shed on the
| bank. There's a $5 bill in it for you" J."
The man agreed and John squeezed
| himself painfully into the barrel. All
went well until the deck hand reached
the middle of the ganeplank, for John
chose that inopportune moment to
ease his cramped position. The barrel
shifted and threatened to roll off. The
deck hand frantically sought to right
it and only succeeded in pushing if
entirely from the truck. 1t rolled to
the edge of the narrow gangplank,
where it balanced precariously for an
instant, then toppled into the water
with Il resounding smack and a great
splash.
John came to the surface sputter-
ing and gasping, tried to shake the
muddy water out Of his eyes and
bumped his head violently against a
piling. A million stars danced before
his eyes, the universe grew black, a
great hairy arm reached down and
grasped him by the collar and he
knew no more.
When he again opened his eyes, but
an hour later, he found himself in

hospital. An efficient nurse with the
inevitable white cap was bending over
him. ;,
You're perfectly all right now"
she said. Simply swallowed little
water and bumped your head, cutting
your scalp slightly. But it's hardly
more than a scratch. A little court
plaster and youll be all fixed up,
With this assurance she left the
room, closing the door softly behind
her. Then John became aware of the
presence of another person in the
room. He turned his head. There,
seated in a chair beside his bed was
Beatrice.
"Why, wh-wh--" John could only
gasp.
Beatrice smiled sweetly.
Don't excite yourself, dear" she
said sootningly. Il got your letter and
came to the boat to meet you"
She drew the letter from her purse
and put it to her lips. He recognized
it at once. It was the long letter of
love and devotion that he had written
her three days before.
But II thought-Annie was there
and---''he babbled incoherently.
Now, take it easy and rest, John
dear" the girl said softly.
But there was no rest for John until
he had given her his account of the
whole affair.
why, you poor boy" she cried as
he finished the narration. II was
right there near the landing all the
time, sitting in our sedan waiting for
you. And about Annie. Don't you know
that she is engaged to the pilot and
comes down to meet him every time
the boat comes in?"
John closed his eyes and sighed
happily, for the caresses that followed
were ample recompense for the violent
bump on the head and the sudden i'm

its vehicles. In it's defense the transit
corporation charges the District with
responsibility for the accident and
claims that when two-story busses

If it has come to a question of
whether the District shall cut its trees
away to make room for privately own

answer. The order allowing the double
deckers TO run should be Immediately
rescinded and they should be barred
from the streets. Not the trees but the

A plan which may improve tele-

voice plainly hears the number she
will not repeat 1t to the customer, but
will merely say Thank you" and
connect with the number asked
When she doubts that she has caught
the number Alright, then and only

is: Number, please" Give me Jas

Under the proposed plan the tele-

that il is jasmine Plains S040S will
say Thank YOU" and get that num-

The plan sounds well, and Washing

plan Is tested. 1t Is said that officers
of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-

it speeds up the making of telephone

approval.
