MRS. EARLE DAVIS
PROVES HERSELF
FINE .STORYTELLER

Mrsdamcs G. T.. Coggins and Earle
G. Davis were hoStcsscs to AN
chapter. p. f.. O., Monday, at the
country home of Mrs. Davis. Fall
flowers were effectively used about
the rooms. and Il buffet luncheon
served.
Mrs. Davis had charge of the af-
tcrnoon s program, reviewing "All
Knceling. Ann Parrish 5 new novel
of beautiful and selfish woman de-
manding homage and admiration
from all whom she comes in contact
with. The story follows the typical
Parrish style. with an excellent and
vivid character sketch of ''trista
bel Caine,' the principal character
and in interesting descriptions of the
setting. which moves from German
town, Pennsylvania to New York
City.
Unusual humor is found in the
story, with Mrs. Davis bringing out
in convincing fashion the conceit
and selfishness of the heroine. A
touch of satire is added by Miss
Parrish, by the manner in which her
character is able to deceive all her
friends with the exception of her
- Uncle john He pierces hcri
mask and reveals Miss Caine' as
q woman who has planned with de-
iiberate selfishness her every ac-
tion and motive i'll order to further
her own ends. The story is conclud-
cd with the heroine undefeated and
perfect success, dealing
the "virtue is its own reward
theory a sad blow.
The success of the story is due
to the excellent manner in which il
was told by Mrs. DAVIS, who lost
none of the satire and humor in tell
ing it.

still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syr-

of senna and other mild laxative

Used For Highway

written Specially for Abe No

BY ROBERT FULLER
Through Autocaster Servicel
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. A
till providing a special highway
fund of $407, ,341,145 without in
creaing the taxpayers burden
and to be divided among the
states in the same proportion as
the Federal Aid funds authorized
each year, has been introduced in
the House by Representative Ed
ward E. Browne, of Wisconsin. =.
The measure providing for the
utilization of this huge sum in
highways construction is in ad-
dition to the $165, 100000 Fed
eral Aid bill already introduced
in both House ard Senate.
This special fund is to be OBJ
tanned by the repayment of French
bonds issued after the war. The
Indebtedness, it is pointed out, is
totally different from the war
loans, as it was incurred bv
France in a commercial transac-
ton, entered into for profit.
Under the Browne bill the
states would pay not to exceed
&c per cent of the cost Of roads
constructed from the fund.
'FWe have paced too much of
the cost of road construction up
OH the state and they in turn up
on the county unit, the counties
in many instances having to pay
one-third or more of the cost of
roads serving the entire nation
and this tax burden has helped to
put the farmer where he is, y
Representative Browne declares.
The bill will have the undi-
vided sunport of the motorists Of
the United States, believes j.

ENDURANCE
ssxy.AMN@Al

Importance depends on endurance Endurance
is the retention through time Of an achievement of
value. Thus says Whitehead in Science and the
Modern World
Endurance is the real test Of man. 1t is some
thing that we can all have If we can do nothing else
re can hang on and remain the same.
Sometimes this is mere pigheadedness and stub
bornness. But in this world Of fluctuating values
and fuctuating it is pleasure to find something
stable
One of the strongest pleas of the church is that
is has endured throughout the ages and is still going
strong.
Whatever has endured for a lengthsof time must
have some merit to it.
The life Of an organism depends upon it's ability
to adjust itself to its surroundings Life is tragedy
for the unfit.
A man s.in perfect health when he can breathe
the air. enjoy the sunshine and partake of the food
that offered him. and his lungs his stomach and his
other organs are attuned to his environment.
II they become out of tune or, in other words, he
becomes unfit, nature eliminates him.
Emerson says that the best test of book and the
finest critic was time, and advised us, as whole, to
read no book that had not been printed twenty years.
Time has dealt harshly with some popular favor
;tes, while others have survived
Some of the popular songs our ancestors sang are
still popular. No one could tell at the time which
they were, but the passing Of the years has tested
them.
It is perhaps wise thing not to build a monu-
ment to man before he is dead Time must have it's
opportunity to pass upon him.
There is something in mere endurance, and the
man who is able to stick thing out to the bitter end
has the advantage over one who is constantly chang
ing.
Do not stick to thing simply because you have
chosen it. but after choosing it wisely keep your feet
firm and do not vacillate.
The office should seek the man, but if man
weaited for it to seek him every morning he might
have to go hungry
Some one should see to it that the Democratic
donkey gets new shoes before he's turned loose with
Ill those Texas longhorns.
Everybody knows why it's called crude oil.
The Englshman's record of 207 miles an hour in
an automobile will probably stand, but we'll swear
some drivers have passed us on dirt road going
faster than that.
The poor murderer is certainly to be pitied these
days. since the jury will decide he's crazy if he pleads
insanity and the public will decide he's crazy if he
'oesnt plead insanity.
Nobody seems to understand just what psy-
thiatrst does and it is little hard to tell except
that in general he finds either for the defense or pro-
secution according to which side hires him. according
