being and in her daughters. Her Son-in-law
was congenial to her. The new and dizzying
environment of creature-comforts in which
she found herself was ever gratifying. Also,
Marion Rowland had known too much of the
deprivation of life not to see to it that out of
her own plenty some of it poured into the
empty hands of others.
Marion being mutually congenial to her
daughter and Son-in-law, was not permitted
out of the regime of their household. The
Llewellyn Lewes occupied, along with Marion
Rowland, twelve-room suite on the top floor
of the most exclusive family hotel in town.
Yet Marion Rowland was determined that
with the new life of ease, her interests were
not to deteriorate. She determined to keep
up her activities, and yet try as she would.
there was something about the condition of
being relieved from the routine of the running
of the boarding house that left her with
stranded feeling. Part of her credo was to
interfere as little as possible in the lives and
activities of her two children. She insisted
that they travel, go about, regardless of her,
and refused to mingle more than casually in
their social activities.
One day, when the realization had settled
quite definitely upon Marion that she was on
her own hands, and that time was beginning
to pail, she did characteristic thing and one
that ultimately was to make her, in her own
way. as nationally prominent as her son-in-law.
Observing one day during the absence of her
son-in-law and daughter on European jaunt
that the family hotel in which they were living
was run along lines that seemed inefficient,
she bought the hotel paid for it one-third
cash, and a few weeks later had established
herself as proprietor.
That was the beginning of the international
hotel series now known as the Rowland Chain.

Uncle Sam Defines Juices.

Fruit juices are the clean, unfsrmented juices
obtained from the first pressing of sound, ma

Grape juice is the unfermented, expressed

the pulp after the removal of the peel; and by
pressing the whole fruit with the subsequent
removal of the oil derived from the peel.

landlady. Marion, had it been a matter of
choosing between the success of her boarding
house and the necessity for Shirley to live more
closely in its environment, would have sacrificed
the former. 1t was due to her own rigid dis
cipline that Shirley had learned that her world,
her mothers choice of world for her, must lie
outside the boarding house.
And in the end all of Marion's carefully laid
schemes for her daughter bore richer fruits
than even she had dared to visualize. The
sweet Shirley, impeccably lovely at 18, met be-
came engaged to and married, all within 10
days, young radio magnate who at 80, socially
secure, and full of the vitality that matched
Shirleys, was already regarded as one of the
important financial men of the country.
OVERNIGHT, Marion Howland's boarding
house became thing of the past, that is,
in so far as Marions proprietorship was con-
cerned. Llewellyn Lewes literally sold his
mother-in-law's boarding house over her head,
making, as he laughingly put it, a fiat profit"
The first year that Shirley was married, Ma
rion's son-in-law, with a largesse character
istic of him in everything he did, settled the
modest nest-egg of 81 900 900 upon her. AS
Marion herself was fond of explaining, it might
as well have been one-tenth that amount, since
her sense reeled after the first 100000 mark had
been passed
But Marion Rowland, well set-up attractive,
full of energies and interests at As, was thor
oughly capable of entering into her new estate.
She bloomed with happiness in her own we'll

In many ways helped her somewhat anomalous
situation. Shirley had her hearthurtS all
right her secret regrets that her home back
ground was not the home background of many
of her friends, but no one was ever to know it,
least Of all her mother, who nevertheless sensad
1t and Sensed it deeply.
IT was inevitable, then, as Shirley blossomed
into adolescence, that from time to time
there should occur in the boarding house Of
shifting scenes and shifting personalities little
situations that were troublesome to Marion and
to Shirley alike. For instance shockingly, it
was rumored all over town that young Ham
mond johnson, an architect, who had occupied
Marion Howland's third floor front for over
period Of three years, had drowned himself Of
despair over his hopeless passion for the daugh-
ter Of his landlady, who treated him in the
same aloof manner she treated all of her moth
er's boarders. Calm, courteous polite.
There had also been the rather difficult sit
uation of Otis Greer, married man, who had
boarded with his wife in the Rowland house for
at least five years, confessng excitedly one
night while in his cups, to dining room filled
with boarders, that he desired to divorce his
wife and marry Shirley Rowland.
Situations such as these did not make it any
easier for Marion to conduct her establishment
along the lines she had laid out for herself. An
alluring and grown daughter complicated mat
tiers. More than that, the boarders were begin

What Is Liberty2
THE trouble with out fathers

TINE trouble with out fathers was
Il that they visunlized liberty as
a political by-product, giving little
heed to the economic side of the
problem.
It goes without saying that gov
eminent and laws have a profound
bearing on liberty, but no more
profound, perhaps, than poverty
and disease.
What men have been unable to
do because they lacked the means
has deprived them of liberty quite
as much as what they have been
unable to do because of political re-
Straint.
Liberty has been sort Of COM
promise between what the individ-
ual would like to do by himself, and
what he could not do without Or
ganization.
Now comes the question Of
whether the organization should
become a part of the government,
or function independently as pri-
vate enterprise.
In either case, we are obliged to
surrender some of our liberty for
the sake of system and discipline.
Theoretically, direct government
control offers the advantage of Civ
ing every one voice.
Practically, private control under
government regulation is easier to
change, or even defy.

TINE New Republic raises an i'm
l. portant point in its discussion
of the attitude of the Christian
Science church toward Edwin Fran
den Oakin's book, Mrs. Eddy: The
Biography of a virginia. Mind"
Craig F. Thompson, the author OF
the magazine article, calls his piece
1.-THE Christian Science Censorship"
and charges that the members OF
this denomination are attempting to
stop the sale of the book.
Since the book seems unfair and
inaccurate to Christian Scientists,
they have every right to use all
legitimate means to discourage its
circulation.
This church has a very well-or-
ganized publicity department, which
is quick to correct any mis-state-
ment appearing in newspapers or
periodicals. Such activity seems to
me entirely legitimate.
But Thompson charges that SCI
entists have done much more than
this in the case of the Mrs. Eddy
biography. He offers evidence to
show that, in many communities,
booksellers have been told by per-
sons purporting to represent the
church, eff you sell the Dakin book
in your store, the people in our con-
gregations will boycott your shop

A LII that now remains between

Let us hope that the senate will

A world court, without the United

It is no eXaggeration to say that

promotion of peaceful activities.
Certainly these activities, as Sec
rotary of State Stimson points out,
come nearer to embodying our

any other nation, while the policy
we have pursued toward conquest

visualize their practical possibilities.

Prohibition Statistics

All men presumably equal before the law.
1t would seem, however, from reading the report
of Prohibition Commissioner Doran that our prin-
cipal w-prohbition-is not applied with equal
force to all men.
For instance, persons convicted in the Carolinas
and Virginia in federal courts received average SEN
fences of ninety nine days and fines of $49 But in
Georgia and part of Florida the average sentence
was only thirty-four days and $35.
In Maine the average was seventy-two days and
$3.50, while in neighboring New Hampshire the aver
age was twenty-five days and 1856. In Connecticut
it was only six days and 1914
The offender in southern Ohio got 1872 days and
$l34 on the average while in nearby northern Illinois
the average was twenty-four days and $213
There to be wide divergence of opinion
among our prosecutors and judges the seriousness
of violating the liquor laws
Doran'S report also reveals that the liquor traffic
apparently is fourshing In some of the bone dry
states of the south Florida during the last fiscal
year had 2421 federal arrests; Georgia, $685. Ken

MISSISSIPPI JOINS UNION
December 10

I'm Dec. 10, 1917, the state of
" Mississippi was admitted to the
Union.
The most notable features of Mis-
sissippi's first Constitution were the
high property qualifications for
holding Office, the short tenures of
office, and the large appointing
power of the Governor and legisla-
ture
BY the treaties of 1880 and 1882,
with the Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indians, who inhabited the north
ern part of the state, the lands oc-
cupied by those tribes were incor-
porated into the state, subjected to
its jurisdiction, and thrown open
to settlement by the whites.
Mississippi adopted a new Con-
stitution in 1882 abolishing prop
erty qualifications for off1ce-holding
and requiring that all officers, both
state and county, should be chosen
by the people.
Other Constitutions were adopted
in 1868 and again in 1890, chiefly
as the result of strife concerning
Negro suffrage.

females are still tending to increase.
OF particular Importance is the
fact that the death rates of children
for diabetes have been dropping
steadily since 1915. There was a time
when diabetes in a child was con-
sidered an incurable and fatal dis
ease.
Now the use Of proper diets and
of insulin not only permits an eX-
tensive prolongation of life, but the
EVIDENCE seems to indicate that in
some instances children recover SUI
f1ciently to live practically a normal
existence.
The person who dies of diabetes
does not always die of the disease
itself. Not infrequently there are
incidental complications such as
gangrene Or infections which cause
death promptly.
Moreover, diabetes may complicate
such diseases as tuberculosis, cancer
or diseases of the stomach and in
testines and make the difference
between death and the possibility Of
recovery.

is particularly so in view of President Hoover's an
nouncement in his annual message that he intended
to send commission to Haiti in an endeavor to
formulate definite policy OIL our occupation, pre-
sumaby with the idea of ending it we have
promised.
The President was loathe to send the additional ma
rines and the cruiser requested by Commissioner Rus
sell, but under the circumstances is difficult to
how he could have avoided doing so.
The disorders in recent days bear out the aSser-
tons that there is widespread dissatisfaction through
out the republic with the administration of President
Borno whose political control is upheld by American
hayonets.
The trouble started with a student strike and
spread throughout the country. The situation be-
