Sore Throat?
Don't Gargle
This Doctors Prescription
Gives Quicker, Better Relief

Don't suffer the pain and dis
comfort of sore throat. Use a doc
tors prescription called Thoxine
guaranteed to relieve with the
very first swallow. Gargles and
salves are too slow and if they do
relieve, it is usually only tempor-
ary.
Thoxine has a double action
relieves the soreness and goes di-
rect to the internal cause. 1t con-
tains no harmful drugs and is safe
and pleasant for the whole fam
lily. There is nothing better to
stop coughing due to irritated
throats. Just ask for Thoxine, put
up ready for use in 35c., 60c., and
$100 bottles. Money back if not

I'm too jealous Shirley. Too eaten with
the devilish pain of being an outsider to the
people I love best in the world to care about
anything. I'm licked before I start You
can't want anything badly enough to go OUT
and get it when you're eaten with devil like
that. 1t will always be that way with me.
Homesickness, heart sickness to be one Of O

scientiously try to make me think am what

"You fool" said Shirley, after hours of let
ting this too long dammed-up confession how
from him. You darling, blessed, adorable idiot.
The only thing, Sterling, that has made all
these late years of mine the grand luminous
years that they have been is the fact that
you are not one of us in the sense you mean.
Fool. Darling idiot. Please don't sit there
pretending you don't know what mean.

you were of U.S."

busiest piers. the pier of the North German
Lloyd Line at Pier 4, Army Base, Brooklyn. The
customs employe who passed on the informa-
tiOn which made this seizure possible and who
is therefore responsible for it is Station In
spector j. Rothschild. Although he is an in
spector of many years Standing and has been
responsible for other large-scale seizures, he
has been station inspector only since the
early part of this year.
The facts in this particular case make
very interesting story. Since Inspector RothS-
chids assignment to this pier, the peculiar ac-
tions on many occasions of one Of the assistant
baggage masters working for the steamship
company aroused his suspicious and led him
TO believe that there was possibility of mar
cotic smuggling this pier. Rothschild men
toned his suspicious to the steamship authori-
ties, who ordered all their ships officers to CO.
operate with the Government inspector in his
endeavor to prevent such smuggling The
steamship authorities rendered every assistance
possible and III sense could they be blamed
for what happened. In fact, it was only
through their hearty cooperation that the
seizure came to a successful consummation.
When the S. S. Europa was still on its way
to the port of New York its trip which
ended on September Is, and about six hours
before 1t docked, the customary airplane service
from the vessel brought information to In
spector Rothsthild that one of the sailors had

who by very virtue Of the anomaly Of his po-
Sition was treated with considerations that
hurt more than helped. All of his childhood,
Sterling had yearned for the heartier repri-
mands handed out unSelfconsciously to the
Buhlow children. No childish dispute had ever
been settled against him. The alien deferred
to!
The same way with his retarded de-
ciSion. With not one other Of his children
would Proscow have been so indulgent. Terry
was concrete example. Even Shirley, the
only girl in the group, had never met the
quality Of indulgence that had been meted out
to Sterling.
It made the bitterness and the hurting and
the secret gnawing pain of being special, and
little outside the dear, inner group Of people
who were dearer than dear to him, almost too
vast to be borne.
1t was not alone the sense of being the out
slider, it was the knowledge that their un-
spoken sense of it kept them all so cruelty con-
siderate, so deferential to his special position.
MOT even his foster father was to sense this
out as the secret of the curious problem
confronting him in this foster son of his.
Too bad. Most gifted member of the family.

AN-Amy1ica Teams the Bunk, Says GIDobie.

frenzied fans fighting for seat at Soldier Field
in Chicago for q big game. And it had become
the habit Of every 5estful cub sports writer
along with every veteran critic, to sit down at
his typewriter and pound out his version
an All-America team. Then the dozen o. 90
teams selected by these men were shuff1ed to-
gether and an All-America team selected
through the process of naming the man who
had received the most votes for a position on
the first team the second highest on the second
team and so on. These second and third teams
help soothe the wounded pride of aspirants for
f1rst-team honors in some cases. But it is just
as likely to be the cause of an assault upon
his good judgment by rival sports writer's, who
can't understand why Jones of Oshkosh Col
lege, that sterling triple-threat man, was placed
on team three instead of team one
IVES, choosing an All-America team was com.
paratively simple in the pioneer days Of
foot ball. The critic could jog around to big
games on successive Saturdays and see every
great player of mention in action He could
choose his team from what he saw But now
a critic would have to have a drawing account
like the assets Of the worlds largest bank q
pair of seven-league boots and a game sched-
uled for leading elevens on every day in the
season to enable him to witness all the great
teams and players in action. For during this
last season more than $50 games among wel
known colleges were scheduled on a single
Saturday. The average foot ball critic can see
no more than 10 major games a season.
So the hard-working and conscientious sports
critic solved this perplexing problem by read
ing the newspapers from the sections he fndss
impossible to cover, which are usually many:
talks with coaches about teams and players
that have been on their schedules, and weighs
this secondhand information he gets with
what he CLEANS from attending the games
One metropolitan newspaper came to the
conclusion last year that Al-America teams are
so much "hooey" and four well known coaches
representing the East, Middle West South and
West picked all-star teams for their respective
localities After ALL foot ball coaches are prob
ably better judges of the qualifications of the
teams than the sports writer's, for they arGe
supposed to know good foot ball man when
they see one in action.

but not unduly nervous. Sensitive, of course.
But somewhere in the machinery of the boys

For while Shirley had seemed to have
easiest access to the confidence of Sterling.
They were so close; SO filled with admiration,
each for the other. Their entire childhood had
been like that. Mercless in their repartee,
gibe and banter, they were nonetheless closer
than any other two of the children.
But then at this stage when more than ever
Sterling had become the non-committal dilet-
tante, even Shirley had fallen back defeated.
Something was eating Sterling.
However, in the end it was Shirley who was
to find her way into the tormented labyrinth
of Sterling's dilemma.
The recital of his years of secret anguish
and hurt and jealousies came from him one
night in a torrent, on the heels of a discussion
they had been having together on the subject
of his refusal to compete for an art prize.
Sentence by sentence, revealing commitment

which might contain narcotics. Acting on this
information. Inspector RothSchild Immediately
passed this advice on to customs officials.
The officials acted quickly and efficiently and
had their men trail the suspect with a suitcase
in which he had placed the package. The
sailor was met by the assistant baggage master,
the man suspected by Inspector Rothschild. The
baggage master, in his official capacity relieved
the sailor Of the suitcase and placed it with the
unclaimed baggage. Later he returned with
customs baggage stamp which he placed on the
package. Still later he returned for the suit
case and carried it through the customs line
with the guards o. K. the label At this
point he was met and placed under arrest by
customs inspectors.
IN THIS manner are our docks and our bor-
= ders guarded from invasion from abroad of
the very worst and most dangerous form of
contraband, and it is only through the eternal
vigilance of such alert officers as Inspector
Rothschild that America is able to combat this
great evil. While a seizure such this one,
the value of which has been placed at $20,0
may be considered to be only a small part of
the total which does get by the officials, it is
only by being everlastingly on guard that such
smuggling can be discouraged. Developments
in this particular case may lead to the break
ing up Of a regular narcotic ring, but even If
such is not the case, the men responsible for
seizures should receive the commendation not
only of their fellow employees and superior off,
GERS, but also from the citizenry at large.
