/ wasn't until a week later that the
truth was revealed to the two
stunned and furious women.
Kent Johns felt that he was
through. That life held no more for
him. When he had read every line
Of the truth about the girl he had
thought he loved so long, he felt
he must die.
What had he done to deserve the
stunning blows Of the past few
months? There wasn't a thing
under the sun that could happen
now. His faith in everything was
wiped out.
He would be the laughing stock Of
the whole world. Everyone in Ben
der knew that he had made up with
Dovie. He had even been reckless
enough to be seen in public with
her. Everyone would know what a
fool he had been!
First, he had thrown all his mon
ey away like so much dirt. Then
he had let a woman make a fool
out Of him-not only once, but two
times. He had believed her. Loved
her-and placed her on a pedestal
above the whole world, when she
had been worse than the dirt under
his feet.
The page had fallen by the chair
and Kent lay with his head back.
ashen and too weak with shock to
move. He did not hear Vivian come
down the stairs. She came down
singing, and stood in the door.
She looked at him a moment, and
moved slowly toward him.
Kent! Kent!" she cried, "are you
i'll? What has happened?"
He opened his eyes slowly. He
would rather die than have her
know what a fool he had been. But
she would find it out some time,
Why not now? He reached down
mechanically. And, without a word.
handed the damning page to her.
Vivian sat down weakly and be-
gan to read. When she had finished
most of it was not news to her
anyway, since Bark had told her a
great deal Of Dovie's life in Paris
she sat for a moment, looking pa
thetically at Kent, sitting so broken
and spent in the big chair.
She wanted to weep for him then.
For his broken dreams and his hui
initiation and his h~eartbreak. Again
she felt a thousand years older than
the boy who had built his house Of
dreams on the shallow sands Of dis
illusionment.
What could she do? What could
she say that would ease his hurt
or help him just a little? Nothing.
She had never felt so helpless in her
life. But, she was drawn to his
chair with the ache in her own
heart, and sat down on the arm and
put her arm around him.
It was what his mother might
have done. she drew his head to
her, as she had once before when he
had been so hurt, and stroked his
hair silently. In a moment he looked
up at her and she saw there were
tears in his eyes.
Kent crying! She threw herself in
his arms and wound her own arms

HIGHWAY Crashes Need CURLING

regular endemic of automobile accidents on
Valley highways in the past two weeks, cllmaXeo py
injuries to two persons by hit and run drivers points
to the seriousness Of traffic conditions.
A need for more efficient service driving or pohcmg
or both, is shown very clearly.
Additional policing Of the highways might serve
to lessen in some degree the number OF accidents
nv causing the guilty. drivers to be brought to &C
count and by preventing reckless handling Of auto
mobiles.
Anv appreciable decrease in the number OF persons
manned and killed, however, must be brought about
by more careful driving. More careful driving can
be secured partially by enactment of proper laws
and BY their enforcement, but it must be largely the
result Of a desire on the part of the drivers to
handle their cars in such a manner as to protect
themselves and other motorists.
This desire can be created in most drivers by edu-
cation in the rules of traffic. Another safeguard
would be prohibiting young children from driving.
There will be some inclination to charge the number
of highway accidents in the Valley in the last sew
eral days to the Texas law which permits driving at
a speed Of IS miles per hour. 1t is doubtful If this
law has had much to do with it. In the first place,
almost all motorists already were driving at IS miles
per hour, except when a traffic officer was known
to be in the vicinity. In the second place, As miles
per hour is not a dangerous speed when an automo-
bile Is in the hands Of an experienced and careful
driver.
There Is a vast difference between fast driving and
reckless driving. The new state law recognizes this
fact. A reckless driver can become a menace to eV-
eryone on the road when his car IS not travelling at a
speed Of more than IS, or even Is hiles per hour. On
the other hand a skillfull and careful driver can skim
along at a 50-mile clip without endangering other
people on the road.
But for the hit-and-run driver there is no rem
edy. The only curb is a policing system which will
assure the guilty person being apprehended. And
after he or she is caught no mercy should be shown.
A penitentiary sentence should be meted out in every
case and the law should be SO framed as to make
1t only necessary to prove that the person on trial
failed to stop and render aid.
Any driver who hits a person and then runs away
IS a criminal at heart and deserves no mercy.

Washington Letter
By HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, July most famous
baby-little Paulina Longworth-ls fast carving for
herself a considerable niche in the social life Of the
national capital.
The daughter Of Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas
Longworth, speaker Of the house Of representatives
Paulina could hardly escape the inevitable attention
that comes to one Of such ~illuStrious parentage. But
it is fast becoming evident that she need not be COM
PEELED to rely wholly on her father and mother for
recognition.
Even at the age Of 4, Miss Paulina is a very much
grown up young lady.
For example, at the swanky Willett-Hays wedding
in Washington recently, when her mother and father
found it impossible to attend, it was Paulina who
represented the family. She sent her own present, a
handsome silver vegetable dish with her engraved
card inclosed.
And at Atlantic City, when the photographers
wanted her and her father to pose together, Paulina
~obligingly climbed into Father Nick's arms, smiled
broadly and Rugged him fiercely.
S&
E MOTHERS WIT
She has acquired some Of the wit and gift of rep
artee that have long made her mother known as one
Of the most interesting persons in Washington.
When the L~ongworths went to their Cincinnati
home during the recess of congress, Paulina, with her
nurse, went in advance. Mrs. Longworth kept In
touch with her by long distance phone almost every
day.
Once when she called she heard a youthful voice
at the other end Of the line and mistook it for a young
maid.
rs that Mrs. Longworth?" asked the voice.
Eyes. Who is thiS?" asked Mrs. Longworth.
This is Miss ~Longworth," came over the wire.
1t was Paulina.
Her mother employed a New England woman to
act as Paulina's governess. The two had a little diff
ficulty in getting acquainted. Paulina found that at
times her governess was hard on her nerves.
Once the governess annoyed her particularly.
Paultna looked at her intently and a bit severely, and
then said:
you know, you are from New England, but some
times I think you are so dumb that you wouldn't rec
ognize beans in a pot with the lid off"
HEDGING
But despite Paulina's precocity she is in every way
a charming and delightful child. She enjoys the
things that would interest any other child of her age.
Her favorite walk is out Connecticut avenue past
the Old Czecho-Slovakian embassy. Surrounding the
OLD embassy is a beautiful hedge. AS Paulina walks
along this hedge she glances around her to make sure
that no one is looking. When she reaches a certain
spot her little hand goes out and returns filled with
a part of the hedge.
She has done this so often that there is a big hole
in the hedge.
One OF her favorite playmates is little Betty Moi
felt, daughter Of Adm. William A. Moffett, chairman
OF the national advisory committee for aeronautics.

around his neck, pulling him close
ly to her.
"I know, T know, dear-it hurts"
with sobs. Vivian was relieved. 1t
would help him. Perhaps he had
never cried before. But, no wonder.
Surely no one had ever had their
world tumble about their heads any
more completely than poor Kent
had in the year since she had talk
ed with him that night at the gate.
A man Of iron would want to cry.
1t was not weakness. He was en-
titled to it.
For several minutes he was just
a little boy in his mothers arms.
He had never known a mother. She
remembered that he didn't even
know his name-and breathed a
prayer of thanks that she had sworn
her grandfather and Judge Potter
to secrecy on the day she had
learned that she was the r1ghtful
Johns heir. At least, she had saved
him that straw Of heart break.
She lifted his head up when she
felt his sobs subsiding and smiled
tenderly into his face. Then she
took the little white apron she was
wearing and wiped the tears from
his eyes.
There, feel better dar.in'. Don't
cry any more-I want to talk to
you"
His arms closed around her IN
til the breath almost left her body.
She closed her eyes-While he held
her as though he could never let
her go.
MY God, what 7 am going to do
without you, viz. Thereu be moth
ing left in the world for me when
you CO."
She swallowed to keep back her
own tears and held him to her
heart.
You'll never lose my-my friend
ship, dear boy. Surely you don't
think I blame you in any way Tor
anything that has happened"
He looked st her and smiled a
twisted ghost Of a grin.
"You can even say that now
knowing what a fool I really have
been?"

Pessirnists Shown Up

There Is no need for a deep water harbor at Cor
pus Christi"
"The expense of maintaining the channel viii
bankrupt the city and county"
Such expressions relating to the port at Corpus
Christi were rather general only a few years ago.
But the pessimist has been shown up again.
The board OF engineers at Washington has just is
sued a special report on Corpus Christi and Texas
CITY harbors which contains some Illuminating fig
ures.
Remarkable development" is the way the conserva-
titive army engineers describe what has happened
at Corpus Christi.
Commerce at the port has increased from 54,941
tons in 1926 the report says. And the present har-
bar was not opened until September 1926.

Protecting the Lands of the People

In the closing hours Of the third special session Of
the 41st the senators and representatives enacted a
law withdrawing from the market all unsurveyed pub
lice school lands and river beds and channels. In
other words the bill withdraws from sale the surface
ond mineral right to the unsurveyed public lands and
beds and channels Of Texas rivers. A step in the right
direction. The fathers of Texas knew what they were

Shooting Stars and the Atmospheric
Cushion
Bv ARTHUR Dew. Carpenter

by arthur DeN. carpenter
The atmosphere serves as a great
barricade to protect all life and
things fragile, from continuous bonn
bardment Of shooting stars which
otherwise would act as little bullets
to wound and destroy. Shooting
stars are very numerous. During
every "a hours several millions Of
them dash into the atmosphere
from inter-planetary space. They
fly at very high speed-30 to 40
miles per second. They are seen as
fiery trails at attitudes Of 10 miles,
and usually disappear at attitudes of
so miles. When they strike the at
mosphere, their swift velocity gen.
crates friction sufficient to con-
sumo them. and they are quickly
converted into harmless ashes and
gas.
