 Polyandria reclined on the hearth She got lazily up, stretched herself fore and aft and came purring to- wards me. I picked her up and she made herself comfortable or my shoulder. Polyandria is a gold brown A-sora, a magnificent ami nal, and I suppose I am absurd ly fond of her.
 No more complaints, Polyan- dria?" I inquired.
 Luther MacNair, a retired pri- 1. vate detective, of considerable repu- tation, had recently come to Mag nolia Avenue. It turned out that he has a passion for growing to- .matoes. Polyandria got among the viries-so he said-and some little damage was done. insisted on paying MacNair's estimate oi the damage, but he was quite nasty about it.

John Peebles buys one of Peterson's famous gold mounted revolvers, loaded with gold bullets, from N a tn an Hyde, crafty and secretive an- tique dealer. Hyde refused to tell how he procured the wea- pon. Roy Hammond, lawyer, and formerly a prospector, is visibly startled when Peebles unexpectedly enters Hyde's of flee. Hyde deftly covers some object on his desk. Peebles ponders on the possible con- nection between Peterson, his gun and gold bullets, and the furtive conversation in the an- tique shop.

him a member of the American Tree association. Tree planting over the country is expected to be stimulated by the event.
 When the Prince of Wales plant ed a tree in Central Park, New York, say officials of the associa- tion, interest was heightened in reforestation problems.
 New ideas for Arbor day observ- ances are being advanced this sea- son, and the idea of setting out whole streets in the same kind Of trees, is being taken up.
 The Mercer County Parents and Teachers association of New Jer- sey, is planting 49 Oriental Planes a type of sycamore, along the road. There is a tree for each organiza- ton in the association.
 The dates of Arbor Day vary in different states according to cli- mate. In many states the day is proclaimed by the governor, in others it is a fixed day each year. Rhode Island celebrates the sec ond Friday in May; Florida, the first Friday in February. In South Dakota the custom Is generally ob- ! served all through April.
 The idea of having a special day for planting trees originated il- i 1872 with J. Sterling Morton of Ne braska City. Neb., known as the Father of Arbor Day" His home is now the center of a beautiful state park. A tablet near the i house says: "If ye seek any monu- ment look around you"
 { From that obscure start, tree l planting has become a national in- stitution. Charles Lathrop Pack, who directs the educational work l of the American Tree association has distributed 3,O00,o00 forestry | primers to the school of the coun- l try. He has established forestry chairs in colleges and presented demonstration forests to Syracuse university and to the University Of Washington in Seattle.

Off again at top speed, I did not stop until I had climbed over the iron grille which embraces a tiny balcony just big enough to stand on outside the library window. The doors of the window were ajar, but drawn draperies concealed the room. I was sweating with dread. For the moment I couldn't have parted the curtains to see what Andrews boy had fled from to save my soul.
 Desperately beating back my weakness, I compelled myself to open the window, to part the cur tains, to look in.

peal to overcome all our social ana
moral teachings.
Morals cannot be taught.
The drives and motives to action do
not come from abstract ideas and cold
knowledge. They spring from the liv-
Ing impulses, the instincts the emo
tons, and most strongly, from habits.
To change a persons behavior you must
change his habits, his attitudes and
emotional reactions so that he takes
pleasure and derives satisfaction from
doing the thing you want him to do.
The most effective means of in
shilling higher brand OF morality in
another Is through example, ideals with
strong emotional attachments, and con-
slant drill in the formation of correct
habits
Morals are caught, not taught. We
catch them from the example of peo-
pie We admire. We breathe them in
the atmosphere of the society in
which we live and move and have our
being. We all have our heroes who set
our moral standards
II you want 70 raise moral stand

type Of conduct you desire. Doing the
thing you want done is much more eff

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March s.
Waiting for heads to fall is the popular
pastime in the village these days. With
two of the largest studios merging there
will be telescoping in the supervisory
end of movie making.
And telescoping means head-falling.
This Is one of the crises not affecting

small-salaried personnel OF cinemas.

day and a sip or two of locally made
vodka. When German stories are

the story field, hundreds of ex-army
men from both American and German
ranks take heart of grace.
There are corresponding depreSsions
when small talkie casts are announced
and the extra" or "bit" player knows
he will be out Of luck.
Mergers affect only the mighty.
These carry on in the same superb
indifference exhibited by the French
nobility who danced and sang and
flirted while listening for the rattle of
the tumbrel.
The movie tumbrel will rattle, in due

Some salaries in Hollywood are Of

whence came your butler and personal

John Howard was ordered by decree
of court to pay $50 weekly alimony to
his divorced wife.
After paying regularly for while
Howard fell In arrears. Mrs. Howard
allowed the arrears to accumulate as
long as her husband continued to make
partial payments. Being $1,000 in ar
rears and being otherwise in financial
straits, Howard filed q voluntary petit
ton In bankruptcy asking to be re-
leased from all his debts.
Upon obtaining his discharge In bank
ruptcy, Howard entered into business
undertaking and prospered. His divorced
wife thereupon made demand upon him
for the balance due her on back ALI
mony. Howard refused to pay, asserting
that this debt, as well as others, had
been wiped out by his bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.

him for the alimony arrears. Howard
Harmed he would have to pay, notwith-
standing the bankruptcy adjudication,
the courts ruling being:

vides that the discharge shall not re-
lease a debt for alimony due or to be-
