and mine"

1--WE are just good friends. But
isn't it queer, Sonia? Neither of us
liked the other at first. He thought
I was a 'kidder' like Violet" She
added, shyly. ''He does say the sweet
est things. Listen-he said my eyes
reminded him of 'clouded amber
pools Isn't that beautiful? Even
if it isn't true, it's nice to have him
say So"
Sonia cried warmly, Darling, I
think that's exquisite. You know 1
always hoped you'd like each other. Z"
But the flush in Jinny's piquant
face had died.
"Of course" she asserted, sadly,
'I'n never be able to love any one
but Bob"
Sonia made quick work of the
packing. The sight of the disordered
rooms with their dingy, discolored
walls, depressed her. She marveled
that she had endured it as long as
she had. Drawers were half-oren,
contents spilling from an overturned
can Of talcum, lid off a jar of cold
cream, Jinny's comb. She shud-
dered. What a relief to know she
need not suffer longer from Jinny's
annoying carelessness. She could
appreciate her so much better not
living with her. And Sonia did ap.
preciate her. She was so absurdly
! inconsistent, so whimSically appeal
ing! Stephen Sessenger was just the
type for her. Sonia had felt it from
the first.
AS she returned home she was sur
prised to see Elaine ascending her
steps. Sonia greeted her without en-
thusiasm.
Bob telephoned that you were
back" Elaine explained.
Nothing to do but ask her IN and

"Only too ghd," Elaine agreed,
YEARLY and accepted a cup of tea.
Presently she asked, How is the
fascinating little lady next door?"
do you mean Mrs. Wetherby?''
Il believe that is the name Don
was telling me how wond srful She
is. OF course, you know about it,

Sonia admitted. 81 didn't learn the

Elaine slipped her tea and lighted
a cigarette.

"Cat!' thought Sonia.
"Mr. Weatherby was shot in a

Elaine eXhaled the smoke from
her cigarette before she replied.
Don said the little girl was i'll

awfully interested in Mrs. Wealth

thing he ever saw"
1T would take a lot of courage to
meet a shock like that"
Elaine flushed.
"Yes. It's different when they're
only flirting. You know, Sonia, Z

HOUSE PREPARED
FOR PASSAGE Of
FARM MEASURE
Forty-Vote Margin Claimed
for Bill That Won in
Senate AZ to 80.
BU United Press

Bu United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The
McNary- y-Haugen farm relief bill has
completed the first leg of it's jour-
ney to the White House.
With less than q week of debate,
the farm bloc forced the bill through
the Senate late yesterday and sent
it today upon its way to the He use,
where similar favorable action is cx-
pected Monday or Tuesday.
II do not know what President
Coolidge will do with the bill If it
comes to him for signature, but he
cannot help being impressed by the
decisive vote" Chairman McNary of
the Senate Agriculture Committee,
co-author Of the measure, told the
United Press after the bill had been
adopted, AZ to SO.
The bill should be finally perfected
by both Houses the latter part of
next week. Then it will go to the
President, who can pocket 1t until
Congress adjoUrns, veto 1t, or sign it
and make it a law. Apparently au-
thentlc information has unoflicially
been given Republican leaders in
Congress that Coolidge will veto the
bill.
A two-thirds majority would be
required to pass it over veto, but
leaders are so certain that two-thirds
cannot be mustered that they would
make no effort to press the measure
should the President kill 1t.
House farm leaders assert they
have forty-vote margin for the
measure.
The Senate representations of Ari-
zona, Oregon, Washington, North
and South Dakota, Iowa. Kansas,
Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Okla
homa, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana,
Florida and Tennessee were solidly
fop the bill.

The pastor OF a church wrote Mr..
Fixit and asked him to see the board
Of works and try to get another
street light near his church. He
stated that a petition signed by
about forty or fifty members had
been sent to the board several
months ago, but nothing had been
done about the light yet. The let
ter it:
Dear Mr.. Fixit:
Several months ago I, in the name
of our church, took a petition, signed
by about forty or fifty of the men,
bers, down to the board of public
works requesting that they would
order a light placed at the first alley
on Oxford st. north of Washington.
That is a very dark place. The
lights on Washington st. are in back
of buildings so that they do not illu-
inmate oxford st. There is a dis
tance more than an ordinary square
that is poorly lighted.
REV. j.. c. Z. T.
The board promised Mr.. Fixit
that it would look into this situ-
alton at once. If the light is badly
needed and there are no objections
it will be placed at the location
named in, the letter.

Dear Mr.. Fixit: The alley west of
residences between Fifteenth and
Sixteenth SITS. on n. Dearborn is
bounded by an unimproved section
of Brookside Park. The condition of
the alley is deplorable and during
the last icy spell really dangerous.
At present it is so muddy that it Is
impossible to drive a car through it
to a garage. 1 am wondering If you
would intercede in behalf of these
auto owners who have to use this
alley and have the park board grade
and cinder this alley.
TIMES READER.
John f. Milnor, president of the
park board, told Mr.. FiXit that
any one with a complaint would
have to appear before the board
personally and explain their COM
plant. He stated, however, that
they would investigate the alley
and see what could be done for 1t
and whether or not it was the park
boards job to fix it.

Dear Mr.. Fixit: I don't know
whether YOU are aware of the fact
that they started to pave Tlhbs
Ave. 1t was supposed to have been
finished before cold weather, but 1t
wasn't. Tibbs Ave. is closed to
traffic and we, of the 400 block on
Moreland Ave, 400 block on Tibbs
and the 1900 on Wilcox st. have
had to use a street sometimes called
Croft, that is alongside of the Cen
trail Insane Hospitals c. I & w.
Railroad switch. Now it is impas-
sable. Three or four machines had
to be pulled out of there Saturday
and Sunday.
After machines could not use
Croft they started using the alley
that is east of the 400 block on Tibbs
Ave. and west of Moreland Ave-, be-
tween w. Vermont and Michigan

chine at Tibbs Ave. and Michigan

The paid advertisement "Fnvcrinr

your edition Of last Sunday is Of
interest to all who pay municipal
taxes AID especially those who have
in charge the administration Of
municipal government. It Is OF es-
pecial interest to me because 7
wrote the Charter adopted by the
citizens OF .Ponca City, Oklahoma, in
1919, and immediately thereafter pre-
pared. compiled and edited a Code
OK Ordinances for that City. I was
counsel for that City from the time
Of the adoption OF the Charter until
my removal to the Rio Grande Val
ley in the latter part Of 1923. I
know that since the adoption OF its
Charter and during the administra-
ton Of its municipal affairs there
under, Ponca City has been unique
in that the burden of municipal tax
alton directly assessed has been COM
paratively light. There Is reason
for thi5-a reason that does not ex-
ist anywhere else in the world, SO
