Instant obedience is due in time of

simply is not born to obedience such
as martinets demand. He was born
with keen intelligence and an appe-

But he isn't clean in the sense you
mean. To him a streak of mud
across his face is nothing. 1t is the
memory OF the last swine of Mikes

full of fun and good fellowship, that
dirty mark. He will wash it off if you

He is a stranger in this world and

A Decision.

Let me co. she said, in small
voice. and as he stared down at her
he saw that her eyes were yelled
against him.
Usually they were wide and starry.
Looking into Sallys eyes was like
looking into that romance-loving heart
of hers, but tonight--tonight-o
what had he done?
'Sally---''he began.
But she shook her head slowly.
please don't say anything more;
Just let me go. don't want to talk"
His arms dropped to his sides. There
was something about her that made
him realize the futility of talk. He
knew only too clearly that he had
failed her. He doubted IL she would
ever forgive him.
Her slim shoulders dropped as she
turned toward the door. Then with
out word to him she was gone.
He went up on C deck and sat alone
staring out to sea. Surely, surely,
those few words Of his hadn't robbed
him of Sally forever. He was exag.
gerating things because he cared so
much. And yet there had been an
ominousness about the way she had
left him.
He understood her reaction. He had
captured her heart because she was
romantic, and his brutal suggestion
had hurt her. Knowing Sally, he
might have realized how much It
would hurt her. and yet the thought
of losing her had been with him all
evening.

SUB ROSA

Sulking Unfair.

| Every one knows that sulking is
| disagreeahle, but probably few people

| It is.

ant for both Of us, but / can't help it,
Well, there's no harm in her pun.
| ishing Paul in any way she chooses.
That's her business.
But the harm lies in that silence Of
hers. For, half the time, Paul doesn't
know what the quarrel Is about.
He may behave like a perfect boor
some time at a dance--so that Peggy,
watching him, is ashamed and angry.
But that's no excuse for her attitude
| on the way home in the car. She sits
coldly silent, her profile averted.
What's the matter?" Paul inquiries.
Nothing" she answers frigidly, star.
ing out of the window. And that's the
only answer Paul gets.
TX he persists in questioning her,
she says icily, please don't talk to
me any more. I don't want to speak
to you at ALL"
And they finish the drive in silence.
Now, that isn't fair. If Peggy has a
grievance, she must come right out
with it. She must tell her boy friend
wherein he has erred.
Perhaps If he once realizes where
the trouble lies. he'll try to control his
temper in public. But il he's simply
treated to one of Peggy's sulky fits,
he'll never know what's the matter
And he can't be blamed, if he con.
tinues to go against her wishes.
It's a feminine trick to look the
other way and mutter angrily:
There's nothing the matter. Please
don't keep asking me"
Why, half the time the poor bows
don't know whether we're sti1ky be-
cause of something they've done or
because we're just in a bad mood.
Paul eventually will come to the
conclusion that Peggy just naturally
has a bad disposition, and that's not
fair to herself or to him, either.
He may even come to the conclu.
sion that lifetime spent with per.
son who suddenly and mysteriously
relapses into sulks wouldn't be worth
trying.
No boy resents a quarrel, which at
least gives him an explanation of his
lady's bad temper, as much as he does
an inexplicable fit of sulks.
It's much better to fight things out
than to remain aggrievedly silent, pre-.
tending that nothing's the matter
while all the time your behavior tells
a different story.
Give the boy a fair chance and let
him know where he stands. Tell him
what's on your mind
Boys may be fought Without never
sulked at.

PLANS FOR MARKING
AIR DANGERS PASSED
Standard Program Adopted by
Commerce Department for Safe
guarding Air Navigation.

A standard program for marking
radio towers, transmission lines, ana
other menaces to air navigation in
the United States was approved to-
day by the Commerce Department, the
Army Air Corps, and the Navy De-
partment Bureau of Aeronautlcs.
All obstruction towers, such as
radio masts. transmission poles, nag
poles and other similar objects in
the vicinity of airports, intermediate
landing fields or civil airways must
be painted to insure maximum v1sl-
bility from the air. AT night they
must be marked with flashing red
lights. Additional fixed lights are
to be used on radio towers.
Civil airways are defined as lanes
three miles wide. between airports.
At intervals of not more than 500
feet transmission lines will be marked
by day with streamers, cones or
panels suspended from wires running
parallel to the lines. and by night
with fixed white lights.

lice chief at Cicero, a suburb, caused
his death last night.
Valecka was taken to a hospital by
a woman who said she was to have

she and E,alecka were riding, beat him
and then fed.
Valecl1a was chief Of police of Cicero
up to 1920, during a period before the
suburb gained notoriety because Of the
activity there of beer barons and
gamblers.
A woman, whose name was with

to jealousy. They discounted theory
