the night of the murder.
''By George! There he isl! Bob
exclaimed. "At least we've found
cripple and by all accounts it's old
Phil the beggar himself. I'm going
to decide what to do"
Faith shuddered slightly as her
eager eyes studied the twisted stoop-
ing. dirty. gray-haired old cripple,
who peered through smoked glasses
at the crowds which streamed past
his outstretched box of lead pencils.
He was leaning against the lamp
post at one of the four entrances to
the park, his body so contorted that
it was impossible even for Bob,
hardened as he was to the sordid
sights of the city, to repress a shiver
of pity. Old Phil. if it was Phil, had
evidently suffered a stroke Of paraly-
sis, which had cramped his left foot
and knee grotesquely, twisted his
hip and withered his left arm, which
hung useless from his shoulder, his
head rested against it. His long
gray hair was lank with grease, his
unhealthy face deeply lined under its
crust of sore scales and dirt.
Poor old DEVIL" Bob whispered,
a little shamefaced. so that's the
murderer we've been tracking!
Pretty poor sleuths, aren't we,

like we owe him something for hav-

She watched Bob as he obeyed her,
was acutely proud Of the tall, splen-
did young body that looked so strong
and graceful as it swung up to the
grotesque wreck of a man. The beg
gar bobbed his head with thanks as

Wyertainly any mother must realize
that there is a competition in the
business world of today that de-
mands that a girl look bright and
snappy as we'll as being able to do
her work well.
It's the realization of this, her
desire to get ahead, perhaps far more
thanNvanity, that causes the aver
age business girl to dress better
for everyday than 1 ever did for
best" as this mother continues.
OF course the girls make unwise
purchases--lots of them.
But help them, mothers. Quit
harping about their extravaganza.
Help them budget their salaries.
lTeach them about materials and
quality, and how to buy according
to their needs, rather than in re-
spouse to fleeing foolish impulse.

cent on their clothes, trying TO keep up
with the vanity of the times.
AN oLD-FASHIONEDM MOTHER.
OF course you are justified in
thinking somewhat as you do, but
the trite saying, "Times have
changed and so must the customs, -
applies to the silk garment ques-
ton.
A girl can scarcely dress marked
ly different from others of her sex.
Every pendulum of custom swings
just so far. Perhaps cotton instead
of silk will become fashionable some
time. Then watch the girls change
into it!

Want Her to Wait

Dear, Martha Lee. am a young man
with for a year and half. Her parents
are not opposed TO her marrying me. but
want her to wait. This SENS so hard
TO do.
On date" nights we usually play cards
with her parents and brother. Some times
we go to shows or such things as basket
ball games and when we set TO talking
about having TO wait. we both get very
blue.
1 have q good position and am saving
money. Do you think we should wait.
Once we planned TO elope. but decided
not to. WONDERING DICK.
l should think you are not justi-
fed in waiting very long. as finances
do not seem to stand in the way.
Have you told her parents how OPP
posed you are to waiting? Do so,
and make it strong. Perhaps they
will relent.

that beggar should travel by taxi"
"But, DEAR" Faith protested, "he's
too crippled to walk far. He has to
get about somehow. But 1t is odd
that he should leave his post at this
time of day."
81 believe he recognized me as the
chap who had been on his trail and
decided to beat it," Bob told her
rapidly, as he shifted gears.
In the maze of traffic at the cor
ner of Main and Columbus, where
Faiths friend, Traffic Policeman
Callahan, was on duty, Bob's car was
held up, while the taxicab he was
pursuing had crossed the street just
ahead of the signal.
'Memorize the number of that
cabr' Bob commanded Faith grimly.
II have" Faith answered, the
blood of excitement in her cheeks.
"Oh, there's the signal 1 saw him
going up Main street. Let's take a
chance on finding it again."
Twice during the next few blocks
Faith and Bob were sure they had

about ten blocks from the corner of
Main and Columbus, a clear half
block granted them a convincing
view of the pursued cab, which, as
they drew up close behind it, pulled
up to the curb before a tall office
building.
They looked at each other with
blank eyes, sick with disappointment
when they saw that the passenger
who alighted was briskly stepping,
tall, middle-aged business man. He
paid his fare and passed through the
storm doors of the buildings en-

His Wife Deserted Him

Dear Martha Lee ! am coming TO you
with my misfortune. My wife has deserted
me because l protested at her running
around TO shows with unmarried girls. We
had nice little home and we were happy.
but her folks never liked me. One week
after she left me. my wife filed suit for
divorce. 1 should tell you that this was
her fourth marriage. However. / dearly

She is only 81.
LONESOME HUSBAND.
I'm afraid your wife has formed
the habit of clearing out when OBJ
stacles to her will arise. -Four mar
riages at 81 certainly indicate that
she would be too hard for the ordi-
nary man to hold. If she would leave
you over such a trif1ing matter as
you indicate, L believe you'd have
the same experience over and over.
Better try to forget her.

Menstruation is perfect natural

NEEDLESS. Long study has abso-
lutely conquered menstrual pain.
Science now offers women reliable
and complete relief-in a simple,
utterly harmless tablet called midoI.

laboratory has nothing to do with
drastic, habit-forming drugs that
kill pain by benumbing the whole
system! Mido1 acts directly on the
organs affected by menstruation.
and nowhere else. Yet relief and alb.
solute comfort come in five to seven
minutes!
So, why have twinge of pain
feel ''low" or even uncomfortable?
Or take anything to depress the
heart or upset the system7 All

NEW PLANE RISES
 IN VERTICAL LINE
Experts Announce Graft Which
 Needs No Take-0H

New York, oct. - lpt-Successful tests Of two new departures in aero uautics. a vertically rising plane of revolutionary design and q propel- lerless airplane motor. have been announced by the Curtiss Aeroplane company and Harry x. Atwood, veteran aviator.
 The obstacles to perpendicular flight have been surmounted in wind tunnel tests at the Curtiss labora- tories at Garden City x. T., of a new type ot air machine which can climb at the rate of 1900 feet q minute, it was said, and the Curtiss directors voted to produce stand ard plane Of this type to cost $75.- 100.
 The aIrplane motor an internal combustion engine developing power without the use of propeller by utilizing the exhaust to drive itself forward, much like a rocket. was put to successful test at Philadcl- pnia. Atwood announced at Spring field. Mass.
 The new Curtiss plane, which em- bodies some of the principles of the 1u,o-gyro, is he invention Of NJ. B. BIe.cker, 4, who said the idea came to him while he was a student in inc aeronJutical department of the University Of Michigan.
 The model as tested has four wings, though the proposed standard machine was to have three. These wings are on horizontal plane and rotate above the fuselagc. Propel- lers will be placed in the wing mo- tors half way out on tn leading edge. While the ability of the plane to rise vertically was said to be phc- ucmenal. it's forward speed will be only from 50 to 75 miles an hour. though company officials believed thIs would be no deterrent to it's im- mediate application to commercial and military purposes. Details of the propeller motor as announced by Atwood give the new engine as be- ing bottle shaped, with all Of the mechanism inside. Its exploding gases, he said, may be discharged either into the air or water. per hitting it's use either as ;i marine or as an airplane motor. Mr. At wood said the first model as tested in Philadelphia weighed AS pounds and developed 5.S horsepower. Larg- cr engines. he said, would reduce the ratio to less than one pound per horsepower, less than one kalf that Of existing standard airplane motors.
