around his neck, pulling him close
ly to her.
Il know, 1 know, dear-it hurts"
In a moment he was shaking
with sobs. Vivian was relieved. 1t
would help him. Perhaps he had
never cried before. But, 10 wonder.
Surely no one had eve 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 nan 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 rightful
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 I'M
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 I am going to do
without you, Viv. There'n be moth
ing left in the world for me when
you 60"
She swallowed to keep back her
OWL tears and held him to her
heart.
you'll never lose my-my friend
ship, dear boy. Surely you don't
think 1 blame you in any way for
anything that has happened"
He looked 1t her and smiled a
twisted ghost Of a grin.
@'You can even say that now
knowing what a fool I really have
been?"

Pessimists Shown Up

"eThere IS no need for a deep water harbor at Cor
pus Christi"
"The expense Of maintaining the channel will
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.
ommerc 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.

Washington Letter
Bv G. PLTrTNFR

WASHINGTON, July 23.-America's most famous
baby-little Paulina Longworth-Is 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 i~lustrious p~arentage. 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 Wilett-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 Nicks arms, smiled
broadly and Rugged him fiercely.
= =
HER 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 Longworths 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.
Pauhna 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 50 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 enioys the
thlngs that would interest any other child of her age.
Her favorite walk is out Connecticut avenue past
Che ola Czecho-Slovakian embassy. Surrounding the
oo embassy IS a beautiful hedge. AS Paulina walks
along this hedge she glances around her to make sire
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.

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
and 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
doing when they set aside large tracts of the public
domain for the education of all the children Of all
the people. 1t is for the men and women who are
now on earth to protect this heritage handed on by
the fathers of the Lone Star empire commonwealth.

Star Lore
Shooting Stars and the Atmospheric
Cushion
BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter

BY Arthur Dew. 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-3O to 40
miles per second. They are seen as
fiery trails at attitudes of 70 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.

and brokers Of London and New York are proposed
by Wall street. A competitive meet every two years

trust d~issipated with a racquet and a better under
standing all around created through running shoes, a
spit-ball and good Craftsmanship.
Outdoor sports, particularly golf, are already en-
croaching SO heavily on big business that any confer
ence can be broken up by an invitation to play 18
holes for Is cents a hole. Many a business conven-
ton is opened with a graphic description of a diff
cult mashie shot on the eleventh green, and closed
with a suggestion by the chairman that he putt any
body in the room for a dollar.
Promotions to vice presidencies of big corporations
are made on a basis of 3OO-yard drives, and a youth
who can play around in par or better is assured OF a
big voice in the company's affairs.
England is said to be receptive to the sports meet
idea. and next season may see an Olympic game OF
which a high light may be a boat race, WIN o. Z.
