leading questions about broken
bones, Celia returned to the house
for a drink that was a little strong
er than water. And when she came
back, she arranged a cushion for
him, while her father stood atten-
lively by.
No one could have received a more
friendly or sympathetic welcome,
and while Charlie was enjoying it
for the hammock was amazingly
comfortable, and Celia's eyes were
amazingly blue-he also tried to IN
terpret it. There was no reason
why he should have received such
particular attention unless the
Cunninghams were particularly nice
people (Which he was ready to be-
lieve) or unless the incident OF his
arrival had diverted them from some
less pleasant matter.
Charlie was not a psychologist,
and his mind was not subtle, but
at this moment he was more alert
than usual. His nose Smelt tragedy,
and behind the smiles OF the pro-
lessor and his daughter he seemed
to detect a quality Of profound sad
ness. The blue eyes were not as
serene as he would like to have
seen them. The professors gray
ones roved nervously from side to
side. He may merely have been
overworked, as professors often are,
but Charlie was ready to wager tnaC
Professor Cunningham's nervousness
was due to some special burden
that was on his mind. u.
"There!" said the girl, holding out
the glass and smiling at him. Per
haps that will make you feel BETTER
I'm sure it WILL" replied Charlie.
He took the glass. Yes, Celia was
certainly a most comprehensive III
tie person. She didn't bewilder one
impossibly. One didn't actually lose
ones head when one looked at her.
And, after all, was it a good thing
to lose ones head? Did the endur-
ing happiness Of life depend upon
it? Wasn't there more solid virtue
and stability in ...
The garden gate clicked, and Mr.
Simon Brill came along the path.
The arrival of Simon Brill ap-
peared to give satisfaction to only
one person, and that was Simon
Brill, himself. He smiled complac-
emily as he approached the ham,
mock, and appeared to have nc
quarrel with the world. But Char
lie noticed that Professor Cunning
hams nervousness increased from
the moment the garden gate clicked
and that Celia's lips suddenly tight
ened. He, himself, certainly, felt NJ
pleasure at the old mans approach
Good morning, good morning!'

CHAPTER XIV

Then Charlie went out into the
blazing sunshine again, and the plan
he so sadly needed was suddenly
supplied by the sight Of a bicycle
shop.
"Ah!" he murmured. "a bicycle!
How simple!"
He was not thinking of the bicy-
Gle merely as a means OF convey
ance, however. AS he rode away
from the shop a few moments la
ter. almost eclipsing the machine
beneath him by his bulk, he COM
pleted the meager details OF a dar-
ing scheme, and the first detail was
to dismount as soon as he was
around a corner and grasp a small
boy by the shoulder.

is?" he demanded.

pointing.

"Noa. Bear round fright.

"Moile." ..
"Thank you. Here's a nickel

About a mile, and bear to the

Simon Brill on the way.
Charlie did not encounter Simon
Brill on the way, and it need not
be imagined that, had. he done so
his plan was to run that gentleman
down. An accident was certainly
designed, but the victim Of the ac-
cident was to be Charlie himself. a
quarter Of an hour later, the blcy'
Gle was in a ditch, and Charlie was
sitting in the road outside a gate
rubbing imaginary bruises.

Washington Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUNMER

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The department OF
commerce will put more than 100000 boys to work
this summer at the trade Of carpentering.
They will be shown now to make some 1900 dit
Iferent articles out Of secondhand boxes and crates
and odd pieces of lumber that otherwise would be
wasted. Steps now are being taken to open up and
equip wood working shops all over the country where
they may work.
The object is to prevent wood waste. The depart
ments national committee on wood utilization is
sponsoring the campaign, and has stated that no
other project it has undertaken is more practical or
bears a closer relation to the committees objective.
***
TO PREVENT WASTE
The annual quantity of lumber used for box and
Icrate purposes would build a city of frame houses
four times as large as the city of Washington. Most
of them are thrown away or burned after they nave
served their original purpose.
1t is the first time that a concentrated effort has
been made to utilize such containers.
Thousands of copies of a booklet, "You Can Make
It," will be placed in the hands Of boys throughout
the country. The booklet is the first of a series con-
tanning the committees suggestions. 1t will be re-
LEASED in time for use in the summer sessions OF
playground and vacation schools.
You won't find any reference in the congressional
directory to the fact that Representative Sol Bloom
democrat of New York is a song writer, but 1t IS true
nevertheless.
In the late COS the New York representative wrote
the words and composed the music to 'The Heroes
That Sank With tn Maine" 1t was q popular num-
Der, too.
He says that he wrote it en- route to his Chicago
office in a cable car, and the grinding wheels inspired
the rhythm.
MONUMENTAL VISITORS
Springtime is tourist-time in Washington. The
national capital is simply overlooking with visitors
from every section of the country. And apparently
they are out to see everything that Is to be seen.
The % or more guides at the capitol are being
worked overtime conducting parties through the
building. Buses. trains and boats carry capacity
crowds daily to Mount Vernon and other points Of
historic interest near Washington.
The guards at the Washington monument despair
of catching time for a breathing spell. They tell me
that the Easter holiday rush set a record.
During the week exactly 39,48o persons visited the
famous shaft. On Easter Monday all previous marks
tumbled when 1o.o34 went to the top of the monu-
ment.
incidentally, the coolest spot in town is ever at
the monument. The other day while folks were swell
tering under a sun that sent the temperature up
laround SIS, the highest record at the monuments en-
trance was SO. 1t went down as low as 40. This was
due to a draught carried down the 555-foot shaft.

REDWOOD CoUNTY's SOCIAL WORK

" HE social service of Redwood County has
been recognized natonally-and this fact
L brings to some of US who have been so
close to the work that we may have failed to
appreciate it fully, a sense of disappointment
in ourselves that we have not known the purposes
and accomplishment Of this service more per-
fectly.
But this sense of personal disappointment
is lost in the larger sense Of pride that state
wide and nationwide recognition has come to
workers who have labored for many years
to make this branch of county service effective.
AS one of four Minnesota counties receiving this
recognition Redwood County will be subjected
to a careful research by federal experts to de-
ternine wherein the success OF this work lies.
The other three counties are Winona, Douglas
and Polk.
Back of the present day success stands
long line of men and women who believe in such
work when we, the careless, thought little enough
of it. With vision which saw far beyond the pit
fully small beginnings of the work, these peo-
pie pressed forward, fighting with their belief
and strength of purpose the indifference of the
rest of US. Sometimes that indifference founded
in total misunderstanding found vent in actual
antagonisim and definite opposition Then the
valiant stifened their backbones, took an
other forward look and went at it harder than
ever before. And todays recognition of the
work they started is their reward.
The list of workers is long one starting
with the work of Red Cross and war organiza-
tions when there was no real social worker in
the county and the work was done through the
office of the county superintendent of schools,
through Red Cross workers throughout the coun-
ty, through the county agent and the county
school nurse-all working together because they
belived in what was to be done. And now gen.
Grafton shall arise and call these prophets of
social service blessed"
Since that time progress has been sure and
comparatively certain-untl now it seems i'm
probable that the county will ever again be will
ing to go without the service of at least one
social worker. The time will come when there
will be more. In the meantime the county is
honored at having Miss Ruth Bloodgood and
Miss Viola Jones representatives of the Federal's
Children's Bureau of Washington here to study
what has been done and what still needs doing.

SMALL TOWN TALK

Ben Franklin was great old boy to save
everything in sight. Now it has been discovered
that he originated the daylight saving plan.
90
Newspapers last week stated that one-man
filibuster kept the senate awake until three A.
M. Nothing in the world ever kept the senate
awake. Some newspapers so careless.
The height of the impossible to our way of
thinking is achieved by the fellow and his girl
who manage to look nonchalant while riding in
rumble seat in sub-zero weather, or when 90
ing through five inches of muddy water. We
never saw the effect really obtained but just
once. And then the couple was frightfuly in love
with each other.
After years of loyal, patient and intelligent
labor in his country's service, Frank B. Kellogg
Will return to his st. Paul home, saying in spite
OF his more than seventy years, that he will
again engage in the practice of law. Minnesota
has been honored by having man like Mr.. KEEL
logg as one of her representative statesmen all
these years. Now she has the privilege of show
ing him how greatly she has appreciated that
honor.
The meanest woman has been found She
is Mrs. J. W. Bierman of st. Paul, who believes
that if a cigarette tax is imposed there should
be similar tax on all cosmetics. Evidently
Mrs. B. believes that women will not be paying
their share of the cigarette money. Either she is
wifully blind painfully dumb. The time is
fast coming when the young woman will pay
about the same tax that her brother does and
we aren't even sure but what the same money
may be said about the relative payments of

We're queer bunch We boiler for govern
ment interference, and later boiler because it

cure the first case in point is the relief that
is being asked in some southern counties mot
northern counties this time) from the burden
OF ditch taxes. Some twenty years ago we were
all dippy about ditching and if ditching had been
limited to that which number of adjoining
land owners would have undertaken voluntarily.
the work would have been kept within reason.
but that wasn't fast enough, and so we enacted
laws which gave few power to compel the un-
willing majority to come in. The result has been
bad and ditch taxes for bitches that were neither
wanted or needed have been causing mortgage
foreclosures. Now the proposal is that the state
refinance these ditch loans with security on the
land. Eventually that would mean more state
owned land, with the train of problems that tax
exempt property brings. Invoking the aid of the
state In our private business affairs is good
deal like taking dope.-Jim Morrison
