 ITO live a life is the principal, ultimate object in education" de- clared John Dunn in the main address of the evening before the Pr. A. meeting. "The most inn portant part of a childs education has never been written in a book. Education must teach a child how to earn a living"
 According to Mir. Dunn, at one extreme of society is the irrespon- sible, low, vicious criminal; at the other extreme, the intelligent, edu- cated, refined, honest, upright citi- zen. Every child must live life somewhere between these extremes. A college education is often not enough and may not teach it's

by RICHARD STARR

SYNOPSIS: As her latest ad- venture Jacqueline Grey plans visit to a night club. Mrs. Por- ter Mason and MT. Arthur Ca rev, whom Mrs. Porter intro duces, join her and they dine first at Mascagni's restaurant. From an adjoining table, Teddy Montrose notices Jacqueline and is captivated by her beauty. Jacqueline's departure depresses him. Such a wealthy girl is not for him. He seeks solace in the company of three strangers who inveigle him into a card game in the apartment of one of them. Teddy cheats the cheaters and a fight brews. It is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a girl through the windows from the fire es- cape.

again. Don't be in too much of a hurry, bo,' he said. You have got some money of ours, and that mon- ey doesn't leave this room. Get that! If you don't hand it over there's going to be a parcel of trouble for somebody"
 There is," murmured Teddy.
 But although the man spoke to Teddy, the eyes of all three of them were still fixed on the girl; and Jacqueline shrank close to her new protector, clutching his arm desperately.
 Get out of my way" said Ted dy, in low, aminously quiet voice.
 Not until you shell out" re- turned the sharper. And this lady can pay her footing too; pay it pretty handsomely, or else she'll be
 handed over to the police, who ought to have her. How do we know who she is? It looks pretty shady to me. If we help her to make her get away I dare say she'll be pleased to make it worth our while"
 He grinned horribly at Jacqueline.
 Teddy took him by the neck and 7hook him until his false teeth flew out, and threw him across the room like a bundle of rags.
 There came a scream from Jac- queline. One of the other men was whirling a chair over his head But Teddy turned the blow aside with a kick-the way he used to kick the highones for his side on the football field.
 They were big men these two, and came at him both at once, from opposite sides. But Teddy Mont rose was reused. This was his day.
 He did not trouble to hit them. He jumped aside like cat as they rushed, and they hurled themselves against each other. Teddy took

PREMIER SHOWS LESS EARNINGS
 FOR YEAR 1929
Annual Report ofCompany Indicates Outlook for
 Future Uncertain
(Hyder Herald)

(Hyder Herald)
 The annual report of the Pre- mier Gold Mining Company for 1929 presents a somewhat uncer- tain outlook for the future of the famous Premier mine, in addition to disclosing that the earnings last year were considerably more than a half million dollars behind those of the preceding year.
 Total earnings for the year, be- fore deducting administration ex- pense. taxes, depreciation and ore depletion charges are placed by the report at $1,685,879, or $657, ,102 less than in the year 1928. This de- crease is attributed mainly to marked reduction in the average grade of the ores mined, together with lessening of the quantity of the ore reserves.
 Broken and partially developed ore is estimated at 419,036 tons, compared with 456,2o3 tons at the close of the preceding year. While the reductin in ore reserves does not indicate a marked depletion, comparison of the values discloses a decided reduction. The average value of the ore mined in 1929 was only s1124, compared with a value of $14.14, for the preceding period, reduction of $290 per ton.
 Respecting the recent new ore discoveries on the sixth level, the report presents somewhat disap- pointing outlook in the statement that the quality of the ore on that level is spotty and no stoping ore has been found. Concluding the depression analysis, the report states that the indications are in conformity with the directors fore casts two years ago that there are signs of the mine pettering out.
 Respecting the Porter Idaho property, the report indicates that the prospect for future earnings is equally scant by asserting that the ore values diminish rapidly with depth and that there is little hope Iof developing any considerable quantity of ore.
 Beyond brief reference, the re- port discloses no information re- lgarding the potentialities of the Prosperity property.

popular music is a potential or. ganist. The organ has probablt. done more than any other instru- ment to musicalize the early iaz5. It can interpret the modern type oi music perfectly. The Church Upon The Hill,' foxtrot song for which 1 get many requests, could net have been played on the old organ with any degree of beauty. but with modern organ. it sounds marvellous. It is hard for many women to bridge the gap between the choir organ and the modern console, but experience has taught me that the best dance music can be gotten from this new instru- ment."
 The commercial jobs of which Miss Leaf speaks, pay from one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars week.
 Miss Leaf shatters the tradition that only a husky person can plav the organ. She is four feet eleven inches tall and weighs less than a hundred pounds. She got her train ing as church organist in Omaha and has held some of the hiohest' paid musical jobs in the United States.

shoulder had broken away and there was jagged tear in the silken frock.
 Four men stood astounded, i'm movable, looking at the startling picture she made.
 Teddy was the nearest to her, and a strange and subtle perfume drift ed from her to him and got into his brain. It was something east ern; he did not know what.
 "Ohl" she gasped at last. "The police! They are raiding the-the night club. IT don't know how I got away. They are all round the place. Somebody turned the lights out and I climbed out of win dow. Then I crawled along a ledge and-jumped. Ughl It was horri- blel"
 Teddy went cold, remembering that the flat was three flights up She was trembling pitifully, and her little face was as white as the frock she wore.
 "I-I hope you will forgive me for breaking into your rooms like this. But I dared not be taken by the police"
 Teddy Montrose looked at his three companions. They had no' moved an inch. They were still standing rigid, and their eyes were fixed on the double row of satinS pearls on the girls neck. He no ticed that particularly, but he die not attach any particular meaning to it. He had seen the pearls be- fore.
 He saw now only the girl, anc knew she was above price. HI knew also that the fate whicf guides young men when they havi made monumental idiots of them selves was being kind to him to night if it never was again.
 But that double row of pearls sh'
 e wore was, to all appearances, worti a small fortune. The thought oo truded itself on the minds of thre' of the men present at once.

Radio Star Advises Sister Musicians to Look
 About Them

New York City.-Thousands of professional feminine organists, many of whom now earn pitifully small salaries playing the organ in small town churches, are un- aware of splendid new field open to women with the capabilities possessed by these organists.
 It is Ann Leaf, famous radio organist, who sends out a passion ately sincere appeal to her sister artists not to neglect this new opportunity.
 "There are now, at this moment, some five thousand positions open in the larger theatres of the country for organists," she as- serts. Women should be able to fill the greater number of these positions, could fill them, if they would only open their eyes to the opportunities awaiting them as commercial organists.

 Education


 MT. Dunn ayerred that every boy and girl is not so endowed that he can pass through a Univer- sity with credit to himself. Hard work and application make no diff ference-he simply can't do it. But there are many other ways that he can be educated. There should be established vast number of voca- tional schools where he can go and learn the things he is fitted to learn. Every normal child can be successful at something. The prob lem for parents is to find the thing their boy or girl can do with success.
 The number of men and women who are absolute failures, is ap- palling," declared MT. Dunn. "With the right kind of a school system. we won't have these failures. Every boy and girl should get all the edu- cation that he possibly can. That doesn't mean, however, that he should go through college not know ing what in the world he is going to do next, not fitted for anything, and unwilling to do manual labor ;"
 Education does not consist in what you can put into child, con- cluded MT. Dunn,--its what you can draw out of him,-how to de- velop his physical, mental, moral and spiritual powers or faculties.
 At the IasU meerlng of this year, May 6, the Executive Committee will have charge of the program and refreshments will be served by them, complimentary to the teach CTS.

From the moment the piece
started something was obviously
wrong. The clarinet was elusive
enough, but its agility was without

trap drummer was going through
the motions faithfully but to no

He was a deaf mute making a
