THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
(Nogales Herald)

Governor Hunt says that the new
highway bill is unsound, that it would
raise taxes and injure the state. This
sounds like Huntism as preached to
the public but not as exacting criti-
cism of the measure that was framed
for the purpose of remedying the
present existing evils of the depart
ment. For several years the highway
department has been the fly in the
ointment of Arizona affairs. Efforts
to change its regulations are proving
inapplicable. But, it is only through
efforts that the political football will
ever be brought to earth and when it
is it should be so administered that
it will become department for the
people and not for politicians.

CHAPTER XIII
More Fuel

Joyce spent the afternoon in few
erish preparations for the move to
the new flat which she and Gladys
had taken. She called a moving van.
She packed her trunk and Gladys
She went to the new apartment on
23rd street, for the girls had wanted
to be nearer the city, and inspected
the state of the floor and windows.
Intruding on all these activities
was the suave voice saying, "Mr.
Deland has left the city to be gone
several days"
Lots of women call him up I
suppose" she thought a little scorn~
fully. "I'm just another foolish girl
to that man at his club"
She felt that she really should go
over to the old apartment and do
some packing. But she feared to
meet Davey there. Davey might fer
fet her trouble out of her. 1t was a
knack he had.
Soon after dark she returned to
her room.
There's a package come for you"
said Mrs. Jenkins.
Joy carried the box, a large and
interesting one, upstairs.
Something from Deke," she
Thought with delight.
She tore off the wrapping and UNI
tied the cord too hastily to notice
the imprint Of a Cleveland store.
Lifting the lid she gasped. Some one
had read her wish of the day before.
Silk underwear in lovely pastel
shades, silk stockings, several pairs
of gloves, three pairs Of slender
shoes in varied sizes, and a soft
sport hat of suede rolled into a flex-
ible bunch. On top was a letter bear
ing her name.
Dear Miss Daring: foresaw that
there might be some disagreeable

"a expect to be in New Haven In
the course of my trip and will make
it a point to see Deke and tell him
you are well, if somewhat lonely for
him. c. D."
Joyce was still holding this letter
when Gladys came in. She made a
helpless gesture and turned the box
over to her friend.
MY Gawd" breathed Gladys,
turning over the finery. (Which one
sent you this?"

She sat on the bed and looked

| told her the days happenings.
Gee, that's fierce to have that old

were me I'd make big bundle of all
this junk and throw in the dress for
good measure. Then I'd send it all
up to Deland's club. But you
couldn't do that. You're not that
kind"
mo, I'm not" Joyce agreed Sob
erly. 81 wish Deke were here"
Garter Deland wouldn't bother
you if Deke were here" said Gladys.
why don't you concentrate on that
Davey Tompllins for a while. He's
good looking fellow and bats about
you?"
1--WE got a date with him for to-
morrow night" said Joyce. "Davey's
a real friend"
The girls were quiet for a time.
"Got something to tell you, Joyce"
said Gladys. Don't know how
you'll take 1t. But my advice is to
sit still and not make a fuss"
what Is it?" asked Joyce, think
ing instantly of her mother.
Hop, the Statler detective is
back. 1 think he'd like to help you
if he could" Gladys glanced up to
see the effect of her words.
'In what way?" Joyce asked.
ooh, let him run down anything
you hear about your mother" Gladys
spoke carefully.
do you really think he could
help?" Joyce asked wistfully. The

her, sick, alone, hiding from all the
world.
I'm sure he could" said Gladys
convincingly.
Then I'll be nice to him." Joyce
promised childishly.
There's just two kinds of men,"
Gladys ruminated, looking again at
the bax of pretty things. THE kind
that takes, and no matter how it
looks they just take, they won't pay.
And the kind that gives. This Car
ter Deland takes. He'll never give
you anything but a bad reputation"
You haven't told me yet what to
do with this stuff" Joyce said.
GIVE it to charity" suggested
Gladys flippantly.

back and then tell him 1 don't want

of publicity and an unusual inter

yesterday as characteristics of
William Edward Hickman in his

Frederick J. Anibal of University
High School, Chicago, who formerly
taught in Central High School,
Kansas City, said that when he
knew Hickman the youth was fond
Of sensationalism.
"He was popular among his fell
low students, but always sought to
overshadow Them" he said. 'He
would even tell petty lies to make
himself appear in spectacular
light.
He was interested in the effects
of anesthetics upon the human body
