but-well, Eddie got two years.
He was running his own service
station now. And Susy married
last year. A nice fellow in the
vegetable business. And Dan, he'd
taken up trucking.
But Frankie-that was one OF
the twins-he'd always been q
cripple. He was - now, and he
had to spend most Of his time in
a chair, but he was a comfort.
She was really getting the ranch
for frankie. And Rose-she was
the other twin.
Rose had died a year ago.
For a little while the room was
very still.
Then her voice lifted again,
with that strange note of pride
running through its humility and
indifference.
II haven't done much that I
expected to do, buff get the
ranch. it'll be something"
She hadn't done much"
Suddenly the little warped fig
ure. with its beaten face faded
through my tears. I saw another
figure in it's place.
A figure of white marble which
once was found at Samothrace
and ever since has stirred the
hearts of men. The Winged Vic
tory! No head upon that figure
and no arms. Only great wings
flung backward in triumphant
rush, only the body arched in q
long, singing bow.
Not Victory, crowned with
1aurels, wreathed in smiles, un.

But Victory. crippled, without
smile or crown, yet lifted on the
rush of deathless wings!

snow. 1t was plainly 4 long
time since she had given much
thought to how she looked or
felt.
And yet / think have never
seen younger eyes.
The lids were withered, the eyes
themselves sunken. But they
were of fresh and amazing blue,
clear as child's and as eager.
And there was an eagerness, too,
about the line OF her faded lips
as she talked slowly, sparingly,
In an indifferent, quiet monotone,
as IL she were talking of the
weather.
Yes, there ought to be good
crops-there'd been a lot of rain.
Not, of course, that crops con-
cerned her so much, except as to
the price of feed. She was
chicken ranching. With luck,
she'd get the ranch paid for next
year.
Then she'd really own It!
With that, the clear blue Of
those eyes seemed to spill its
light oyer her weather beaten face.
Even her voice warmed.
She'd own the ranch!
Then maybe at last she'd
amount to something.
She said it whimsically, as If
she were laughing at her own
presumption.
1t had been a hard pull. Jim

irons might penetrate the nucleus
itself and thus, by the collision of
proton and electron, which would
neutralize their opposite charges,
mass would be transformed into
energy. These extra heavy
elements would sink toward the
center of the sun, and so the
great source of energy produc-
tion would be deep within the
solar globe.
OF course q vast quantity OF
energy-producing matter would be
required, but the sun IL an i'm
mense body, and even at high
rate of production it could remain
active for an enormous length of
time. The sun radiates every year
about one and half Galleries per
gram Of it's mass, but it is calcu-
lated that the transformation Of one
gram of matter into energy pro-
duces the equivalent of 20 million
million calories. So at the suns
existing rate of radiation it could
continue active more than IS mil
lion-million years.
Such estimates and the theories
that give rise to them are con-
fessedly only ''guesses at the
truth" though as scientific CUES
SEES they are entitled to a high
degree of credit, at least for the
time being. No real scientist
holds any theory as an absolutely
unalterable thing; II we'll tested it
is regarded as fitting the knowl-
edge of the day, but may be
altered or discarded on the NOR
row.
People of a too absolute habit
of mind should let science alone
in its speculative moods. for 1t
can never satisfy their rigid
demands. 1t can only give It's lat
est conclusions. with the assur-
ance that IL better are arrived at

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
And Stin We Love Them

And Still We Love Them
A FTER all, it is the first rose
IA of summer, not the last, that
a man Is most likely to grow
sentimental about.
A soft-hearted sinner often
makes a better and more COM
Portable husband than a hard
boiled saint.
A man always hates to admit,
even to himself, that early straw
berries and spring heart-affairs no
longer agree with him.
It's the people who purloin the
towels, carry off the soap; and
leave burning cigarettes on the
furniture who are always COM
planning about the high prices the
hotels charge.
A mans idea of preserving the
unities is to find out what side of
an argument his wife is on, and
then take the other side just to
keep 1t from SaSRlng.
No woman can be absolutely
sure of holding her husband these
jazzy days until she gets him
safely beyond the breakers of
middle.age, where he wants moth
ing but REST.
1t takes two women to make q
man miserable-the one he's try
ing to get rid of, and the one
who is trying to get rid OF him;
the one who is hanging onto his
coat.tails. and the one VINO is
leading him a dance.
It's what a woman is, that
charms a man, not what she says
or does. If a girl could only be
STILL long enough she could
glide right into mans heart in
stead of having to Charleston her
way into his consciousness.
A man has 10 be more than an
optimist in order to look on the
bright side Of = blowout, when
he Is driving with his own wife.

does not do. So radium failed to
answer the required purpose.
But the theory was 30 plausible
and seductive that it could not
easily be altogether abandoned.
So attention was drawn to the
fact that in uranium the orbits

new GUN Tires
CAPSULE
b. international News Service


FITCHBURG. Mass. Dec. 20.--A
new defense to attacks by thugs has
been found by a Springfield. Mass,
inventor and will shortly appear on
the market.
The new defense is a gun and is
called the Alden 'defenser," 1t fires
capsule that enters the flesh of
the thug. The firing is accompanied
by q loud explosion and a bright
flash. 1t enters the flesh of the
victim for a half an inch and then
spreads out, rendering him un.
conscious.
The weapon will be OF little use
to thugs. The loud explosion and
the bright flash are two things the
successful thug does not care to
have in his bag of tricks.
The gun Is only good up to 20
feet.
The gun Is a .50-caliber affair and
may be shot from the hip as we'll
as at arms length.
1t Is expected that the gun will
be invaluable to bankers. business
men whose lives are in danger,
autoists and police in raids or
riots.
The inventor OF the defenser Is
Reginald =. Alden, former professor
OF Clark University. Alden spent
three years in the perfection of the

Tannic acid is used in tanning
leather for making shoes and other
leather articles. But since women
have stop ed wearing shoes and men
have gone to wearing slippers many
of the tanning factories have been
