During Nils carefully stage-man-
aged speech, which Cherry had no
faintest suspicion was stage-man-
aged, the girl listened with frozen
intentness. She was still kneeling
beside Faith, but her white, amazed
face was turned toward the half-op-
ened door, through which she could
see the back of Nils head, as he
talked to Bob, whose hand was on
the knob.
Faith thought, as she rose from
the couch and signalled Bob to fol-
low her out of the room, that Nils
would have made a great actor, for
his pretense of delighted surprise at
seeing Cherry was absolutely con-
yincing.
"Oh, Nilsw Cherry ran the three
steps that separated them and was
swung up into his arms.
In the sun parlor, behind .hc door
which had served Nils to such good
advantage, Bob and Faith held each
other tightly, their eyes misty but
alight with laughter. I'm afraid
such superb tact and presence of
mind are almost dangerous in a hus-
band" Faith said. Then, in a low
voice that trembled little, she add
ed: well be alone now, and may
be just little bit lonely until-the
boy comes"
"You won't catch me complain
ing" Bob retorted. "You may not
have suspected it, Mrs. Hathaway,
but I'm sort Of crazy about you!"

Chinese merchant in their somber
black skull caps. On the outskirts
Of the crowd school boys n gor-
geously embroidc. ed suit of Nile
green silk flaunt gay banners.
1t is an incongruous sight to come
upon suddenly out Of the rush and
weller Of the great city; a sudden
and unbelievable transportation to
the half primitive, half exotically
oriental.
It is during the New Year cele-
bration in Chinatown that the drag
on stalks the streets.
From the business houses long
strings of good American dollar
bills flutter il. the wind. It is the
custom. that the drago, shall &c
from store to store. And it is the
tradition, deep grounded in the old
est legendary, that he must be fed.
Where there is no money blowing in
the wind there is a leaf of lettuce,
or an orange, or an apple. Some
times there is both food and money.
Even a giant, it would seem, can
change his tastes. He knows Amer
lean money well. And his inward
operations, whatever they may be,
are equipped with clippers that snip
off each dollar bill clean and send
them fluttering into his greedy
NAV. It's quite as strange to see a
dragon with taste for dollar bills
as it is to see a dragon at all in
the shadow of an elevated train.
Those who feed the dragon we'll
will continue to prosper. 1t is writ
ten in the book of something-or-
other. Perhaps the merchants have
laid asid.. their superstitiors, but
custom and tradition must be OBJ
served. Besides it does bring sue
cess, since the festival lures many
tourists and tourists have more
dollar bills which are shipped off by
the chop suey merchant; and the
dealers in antiques.
Along the street the lic.lee-nut
peddlers are out with their carts.
and the dealers in candied or
ange peel and the dealers in cocoa
nut dainties. All Chinatown is out
on its fire escapes. All Chinatown is
in the streets. During the New
Years all gum are tossed in the
corner. All tong difficulties ere for
gotten. Enemies can meet and ex-
change scowls, but they cannot ex-
change shots. Men who have been
hiding in dark hide-awa-s for many
4 month come suddenly forth ind see
The sky and SINE. the air-if any.
And Chinatown demands that all
debts be cleared during the New
Years. States must be cleaned.
There are ma v such customs
and all sound ones. Meanwhile the
dragon weaves THROUGH tie S-shaped
Doyer street and trails along Mott
md Pell. And @anhattan has brought
10 it for a few days a touch of the
tar-away and the bizarre.

gHE SLAVERY OF EMOTIONS

THE SLAVERY OF EMOTIONS
The anniversary Of Lincoln's
birthday always brings to mind the
purpose he accomplished in bring
ing about the emancipation. Of the
negro from slavery.
Lincoln's effort was the first
great step forward in administering
the principle that no man has i
right to literally own The body OF
another. Although the Civil War,
through force, settled the question
of this kind Of slavery. it did not
abolish kind Of slavery found in
the sweatshops and chill labor fac
tories where, through the force Of
economic conditions. many selfish
men with the power of money are
able to practically purchase the
bodies OF men, women and children,
and to use these bodies for eight to
ten hours day at a meagrc pay.
Even this kind Of slavery is Of little
consequence compared to that
which we impose upon ourselves
through the careless cultivation Of
habit-forming practices which arc
harmful.
Our lives are made up of q cui-
tivation of habits Of our own choos-
ing which may be either good CT
bad for us. Whether or not some
one else owns our physical body
we, alone, are responsible for the
slavery Of bad habits!
Napoleon, who nearly ruled the
world was, himself, a slave to such
a silly habit as eating fried onions.
Many people arc such slaves to
gluttony as to say that they would
rather be slaves to their appet,tcs
and eat everything they want than
to live temperate, longer life.
There is no reason why food can
not be enjoyed without one becom-
ing slave to some particular dish
which may be unquestionably harm
full.
As much as harmful physical
habits are to be condemned and
mastery over the appetites develop
cd, 1t Is even more essential that
no destructive emotions are allowed
to dominate our thoughts and &C.

produces a certain effect in the
body. This works according to GER
tain laws which are exact but which
we are only now beginning to dis
cover. Certain chemical changes
take place during each state Of
emotion, and it is comparatively
easy to find out which emotions to
encourage and which to Danish.
Mental scientists tell us that fear
is the greatest of all the destruc-
tive emotions. There is no doubt
but what one becomes negative un-
der the slavery of fear. This may
be fear Of i'll health or loss of fl
nance, fear Of the loss of the friend
ship Of loved one, fear of death,
or any of the other thousand and
one :'car states which careless
thinkers allow to take possession of
their minds and bodies.
The pessimistic man whose mind
becomes sour is affected by all dis
tressing news, and his mind learns
to magnify the unlovely side of
everything he hears. Sour stomachs
are as often caused by such sour
minds as they are from wrong
foods.

during his lifetime. His example seems espe-
cially appropriate this year. In the rush to ag-
grandize self, to pile up substance, to give short
shrift to spirit, to live only for the day, the
memory of Lincoln comes to caution and re-
strain and to point the way to path of serv-
ice he followed so diligently.

Members Reported Staying Away, Believing Busi: ness Should Be Conduct. ed in New Britain.

Several members of the World War memorial committee have ab- scented themselves from recent meet ings. including one held yesterday. in protest against gathering at the shuttle Meadow club for the reason that it is located in the town of Ber- lin and on the principle that gath erings of municipal bodies should be held in city buildings.
 Objection was made to meetings at the country club soon after the committee began to function and 1t has been growing until it now re- suits in poorly attended meetings. Tn spite of this fact the gatherings have been held there in all but . few instances.
 The members present at the meet ing yesterday decided to place 1,S bronze plates on the circular base Of the memorial. 127 to be marked with the names and service record of the known dead and the last to he dedicated ts tho unknown soldier.

Restraining Writ Lssssd By Justice Levy Calsd Illegal By Attorney General Who Aslks Judge to Vacate t.
Hearing Called for 3:l5 O'Clock This Aftefreon Meanwhile Sing Sing ExecutiOner Is Ordaro3 to Be in Readiness.

New York. Jan. l. N-Hearins on stay of execution for Mrs. Rnth Snyder was postponed from ! o'cbock until 3:15 today It the request sf Edgar F. Hazleton, her chisf ef counsel. The hearing had oFigin- ally been set for 10 o'clock tomor- row morning but was changed to o'clock at request of the attorney generals office.
 Warden Gets Osxlers
 Warden Lawes of Sing Sing prison was under court order to stay the execution of Mrs. Ruth Snyder but at noon it seemed far from certain that the order would stand up under the counteraction of state ollciala.
 The stay was ordered by State ou. preme Court Justice Levy. but on in. structions from Attorney Genssal Ottinger. Deputy Attorney GsneFal Robert F. Meyer was scheduled to see Justice Levy at two o'clock te ask him to vacate his own order.
 Thinks Order Illceal
 Ottinger expressed the optnion that the court stay was illegal and Beyer said he would ask Justice Levy to countermand it on the ground that 1t was unwarrantsd and in direct violation of the criminal code.
 In the meantime Warden LaMse prepared to leave Ossining for Al- bany to confer with Ottipger, 0lx. Smith in New FosK dsclln1d u nAAke any statement ateut the case hut ' was learned he had been asked fer | instructions by the warden and ha1 , referred him to the attorney geasfol Gray Not Mcntioacd
 The court stay made no meutioA of Gray. who was convicted with Mrs. Snyder for the murder of her husband. The stay was granted her by Justice Levy in connection with civil suit brought by the company which insured her husbands life, asking annulment of the policies en the ground that they had been ob- tained by fraud. Ms. Snyder's cosan- sel asked the stay on the groun4 that her presence was necessary h the insurance action.
 The whole situation arising from the last minute stay of execution o4 the woman prisoner was ons of in- tense confusion But one point wsA plain to all. that the battle over ex- tended life for Mrs. Snyder was sharply drawn and that both stdso

kSBURY PARK CASINO
 UNVEILED BY FLAMES
Loss Is Estimated at Half Million DOllar-One Fireman Is
 Overcome.

Asbury Park. Jan. 12.--4P>-The Municipal Casino. located on the Boardwalk at the foot of Asbury
 The structure. two story affair which housed dance hall and many beach concessions. was valued at $500, 900.
 Discovered by a uatchman short ly before &. m, near the studios of broadcasting station WCAP, the fire gained headway rapidly, despite the efforts of the local fire depart ment and appartus from seven near by towns. The flame spread quickly for a time threatened surrounding structures, including the North End hotel. in Ocean Grove.
 The building housed numerous Boardwalk candy and novelty con- sessions, and included second floor dancing balcony which was often used by conventions. It was a sister building to the Arcade. which was left a mass of ruins by fire last July. One of the largest concession holders, Meesrs. Leiding and Heintz, manufacturers of candy, who were apparently the heaviest losers, esti- mate their loss at $75.ooo.
 Valuable machinery which was located fin the basement of the west wing and which included lighting plant, serving part of the beach front, was not affected by the fire.
 One fireman was overcome by smoke. but no fatalities were report ed.
 No definite plans for rebuilding the Casino have been announced but 1t is expected the city will erect some sort of structure to take its place before the opening of the coming summer season.

ShARkEY REPORTED IN
 FINE PHYSICAL FORM
In Pink of Condition for Fight With Heeney To-
 morrow Night

New York, Jan. 12.-Ip-Jack Sharkey ts in excellent condition for his l7 round battle tomorrow night with Tom Heeney. and shows no - further trace of injury to his left hand. two physicians of the state athletic commission announced to- day after a special examination of the Boston heavyweight.
 Tn general. Sharkey's condition ia excellent" said . statement issued by Drs. William H. Walker and Jo- seph 6. Baldwin, who examined the ex-sailor to remove any existing doubt about his condition. following his six months lay-off since lcsing to Jack Dempsey last July.
 "Sharkey has never appeared be- fore this commission in better con- dition." the statement added.
 It was an injury to Sharkey's left hand that forced postponement of his bout with Heeney . month ago. but the doctors found no remaining evidence of this. Neither did they find, they said. ''any functional de- fleets In the wrist. fingers or elbows of either arm"
 The only outward sign of injury was . rope burn on Sharkey's left shoulder. This was sustained in training several days ago and is mostly healed.
 The most convincing evidence of Sharkey's good general condition to the physicians was the boxers pulse. . which WIS 60 at normal. jumped to es after vigorous exercise but re- turned to normal again within three minutes.
 Notwithstanding todays examina- ton sharkey will be reexamined to- morrow at ! '. m. when the official weighing In takes place at Madison square Garden.

CHAMBERLAIN AGAIN IS OFF TO SEEK RECORD
Forced Down Wednesday But Returns AlOft This
 Morning

Roosevelt Field. N. r., Jan. 12 R l-Clarence D. Chamberlin, trans-
 atlantic fiier. accompanied by Roger i, O. Williams, took off in a Bellanca plane at 1o:13 .. m. today in an attempt to break the worlds en- durance flight record.
 An attempt was thwarted yester-
 day after four hours by the failure
 of fuel pump.
 Chamberlin said he had been in-
 formed that weather conditions
 were favorable for the aerial grind
 ahead of him, in which he and Will
 Hams hope to break the existing
 endurance record of 52 hours, 22
 minutes and s1 seconds.
 It had been hoped to start the
 flight at dawn today but after me chanics had completed repairs to
 the fuel pump, they discovered 2 leak in the emergency pump valve. by which the load of gasoline can
 be released quickly in case of ne- , cessity. Repairs to the valve caused
 a further delay in the take-off. Chamberlin's plane carried 46l
 gallons of gasoline in the main tanks, but the pilots also put two five-gallon cans of gasoline aboard.
 making a total of 471 gallons. The probability that the Bellanca
 monoplane would be joined by an-
 other competitor for endurance
 honors was foreshadowed in the
 announcement by George A. Weiss that he might take off today in his
 Stinson- Detroiter.
