READ THIS FIRST:
A tender and thrilling romance
was woven into the marriage OF Jim
Hamilton and Larry Browning. They
spent the night at the Blackstone in
Cincinnati, where Larry's friends
were giving a party in their honor.
Larry's friends who had seemed so
distinguished a few hours before, had
lost home of their glamour. Byrd
felt a deep sympathy for Marcy Dun
can. who had struggled along in pow
erty. raising her three little chill
dren. without her husbands love or
cooperation. Chef Everson, a friend
~ sort Of person. tried to help Byrd
through a difficult evening. while he
wondered how the sp~eed-loving Lar
ry happened to marry this little
puritan.
NOW GO ON WITH THE ST0RYl
CHAPTER v.
The racket Was increasing.
A piano was playing somewhere,
and a victrola and a radio had com
bined to drown il out. The result
was a cacophony Of discord that rent
the air like music suddenly gone
mad. A musicians nightmare And
everywhere people were moving back
and forth. intent only on getting
more drinks.
Suddenly Byrd found herself alone.
She realized there certainly was a
deficiency. a certain lack. in her be-
havior. for every man drifted away
from her in search Of more exciting
fields of entertainment.
II was all perfectly horrible, and
she decided to look up Larry and tell
him that she wouldn't stand 1t an
other moment.
A half dozen people whom she
hadn't met at all were tearing
through the length of the apart
ments. playing some sort OF game.
As far as she could understand the
meaning Of il. they were trying TO
catch a little brunette. with the idea
of removing part of her clothing.
"You said you couldn't dance IN
skirts. so you'll have to TAX 'erl
off, shouted a young, silly-looking
man, racing pell-mell into n room
and out Of another. He motioned

days decided that any vehicle left along the road. and
whose occupants were not -transaeting legitimate busI-
ness were subject to declaration as a public nuisance.
What utter bosh! Really, it seems that common
wealths might find some question more worth OF the
concern Of its courts and Legislators. Why try to reg-
ulate the morals of citizens by statute duly enacted?
There are enough fool laws .on our statute books today
enough, to put it mildly. There are enough fool
enterprises promoted by our lawmakers; again to put
itsmildly.
Peters may be right or wrong; they may be sacri-
ficing their own morals, destroying their own charac-
ters. We do not know. Nor do the grave public Off
Gals Of the Quaker State. Nor does anybody else.
And, after all, it is the business Of none save the
PETERS.
Our legislatures and our officers try TO cover too
much territory; we, as a people, try to correct every
thing by statute. There are enough legitimate func-
tions for the state to perform; enough functions which
it should perform but doesn't. II we see an evil, or
what we suspect may be an evil, we run, don't walk,
to the nearest Law making body and shout our heads
off.
The conviction grows that everybody would get
along much better il each Of us tried to regulate his
own conduct, rather than trying to tell his n~eighbors
what should be done.

Women's work i one Of the oldest things in the
world as we know it. From long before the dawn Of
written history, the evidence of cave and burial place
gives mute testimony to the patient labor Of feminine
hands. In the earliest days Of human association or
any permanent sort, ii was the woman around whom
the little family group revolved. The male might &c
the conqueror, the hunter and warrior, but il was the
woman who guarded the secret Of fire. and even the
stoutest man could not long exist without some female
counterpart who ysuld bring TO his aid the mysterious
element that made raw meat into an edible food and
gave precious warmth when snow and sleet ragged
through the forests.
However, when machines and factories came into
being, the one following closely upon the heels Of the
other. a great part of the former occupations Of the
home perforce went out of il. 1t was no longer good
economy TO hand-weave the family clothing, when pow
er looms could make the cloth so much faster and. il
most instances, so much more cheaply. Woman changed
in a few short years from producer and consumer, to
consumer alone and her husbands income dwindled ac-
cordingly. In the old days she, as well as he, had been
in truth a wealth creator. Now she must pay out the
money he earned for the purchase of things that for
merly she had made. And his earning capacity did not
usually increase at a sufficient rate to bridge the gap
thus formed. nor could in always keep pace with the
rising cost OF living.
How are we going 10 reconcile woman's work out
side the home today with the requirements she must
meet as a homemaker. We cannot stop her work-we
do not want to do that. She is entitled to freedom for
activity along any line she selects. for We have passed
beyond the days when we considered that wonan's
place was in the home. Her place is everywhers
though her most important place is in the home. We
who know the woman wage Garner are not afraid that
she is going to give up that important place. she
knows its Importance as we'll as we do.

LIFEbOA7 TRAGEDY
:S7IRS BRITISH isles
Grew Lives Up to Best Trad.
tons Of English Coast DVeQers

Folkestone. England. Nov. 16
(UP)-The tragedy which befell the
little fishing village of Rye Harbor.
whose men persisted In a futile at
tempt to rescue the crew of the
sinking steamer Alice. has stirred
England more than any story of the
sea in decades.
Sorrow and sympathy were
mingled with pride in the gallant
sacrifice of the II men Of Rye Har-
Dor. who lived up to the finest ira
ditions OF British coast jewellers in
their errand Of mercy.
The irony of the disaster was in
Its futility. Five minutes after the
men had volunteered to answer the
call OF a steamer in distress and had
set out in the lifeboat into the ter
rife storm, word was received that
the Alice's crew had been rescued
by the German steamer Smyrna.
The seas were the heaviest in 80
years and the gale blew at 70 miles
an hour. Wives and daughters lined
the shore, torn with anxiety as they
watched the small lifeboat tossing in
the enormous waves. They scream
ed and covered their eyes as they
saw the lifeboat disappear under a
great wave and reappear. bottom up.
Most OF the bodies were washed
ashore soon afterward at Jury's
| Cut.
The tragedy probably means the
end of Rye Harbor as fishing
village. The II men comprised the
crews OF four smacks. which were
the remnant Of once flourishing
feet when Rye Harbor was an i'm
portant fishing center. That was in
the days before steam trawlers and
industrialized fishing.
Those aboard included four pairs
OF brothers, and one trio Of brothers.
Every family in the voltage lost one
or more relatives. Among those
who died were Albert Head,
coxswain Of the life saving craft, and
his two sons.

holiday shopping habits Of thousands of

THE public's change to more SEN
sible Christmas shopping method has

Shaw said. "The progressive merchant
today had his complete holiday stocks
ready for shopping early in November
instead of waiting until we'll after the
first of December. The older mer-
chants contrast this with conditions
which obtained only a few years ago
before the public changed its Christmas
shopping habits. Every kind of store
engaged in the distribution of mer-
chandise welcomes the change. They
are able through the lengthening of the
