HOUSEHOLD
HINTS

Vanished wood is best
cleaned with cold tea strained
from the leaves. If the wood is
very dirty, a little warm soap
and water may be used, but
only to remove the outer dirt;
the tea will not injure the
varnish..
Artificial silks are extremely
fragile in water. They must
never be wrung or rubbed, but
squeezed gently through the
hands in a soapy solution.
Tea and coffee should not be
stored near each other unless
they are in tins.
A little vaseline injected into
the hinge portion of the frame
of a new umbrella will not
spread like other oil and is q

OUR RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis-

Proof
Only so little done Of all our
dreams,
So few of all our fancies came
to bloom:
We doubt, at last, the promise
of hopes CLEANS
And feel our dearest long
ings formed for doom.
Time ruthlessly cuts down where
we have Sown,
Desires must wither in un-
friendly soil,
And often we must journey on
alone
While others reap the fruit
Of all our toll.
Only so little done! Herein 1t
lies,
The certain proof we thirsted
for in vain
While Earth xOuchSafed unto
our seeking eyes
No ansWgf from green hill
or pkzin:
So little done. but justice yet
must be
Achieved. and so God made
eternity.

Her first thought was that
Ken had been drinking to ex-
cess. His face was ghastly, his
eyes wild. It was his will alone
which was holding him to-
gether.
"I shouldn't be here, of
course" he began in an un-
naturally calm voice, but I
had to come. You see :.
he died. The baby"
THE baby! Oh, Ken. -
He nodded very gravely.
Poor old Colonel. Such a little

"When?" she asked gently.
-Four days ago. They buried

True Love
By Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on Problems OF
Love and Marriage

An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage
Should young husbands and
wives tel each other every
thing? Meaning, of course, those
harmless little near-adventures
with osner young men and
women that hardly seem worth
reporting.
Or is it more sensible and
practical to keep such matters
to ones self. if one has a wife
with q tendency to magnify
trifles or a husband too easily
made Jealous?
It goes without saying that
almost ali lovers, when the day
OF marriage arrives, honestly be-
lieveS that their two lives are
thenceforward to be literally
merged and that not the small
est fleck Of secrecy or deceit is
ever to be allowed tc sift into
that ideal relationship.
Some married lovers do, l am
sure, hold strictly to this stand
ard of perfect confidence. In
the case of those who do not,
how does the first lapse hap
pen and what does 1t probably
lead to?
Let me quote from a letter I
have just received:
81 have been married six
months. Lately a very nice boy
who works nights has been com"
ing in to see me in the after
moons. There is no harm in it.
We Just kid each other. But
he has made me promise not to
tell my husband and that is
what worries me. It seems silly
to tell my boy friend he can't
come any more when he has
kissed me a few times, but I
am afraid if my husband found
out about his coming he
wouldn't understand. He is very
jealous.
Don't you see how easily it
happens?
The devoted, jealous husband
away ali day, the innocent,
rather too innocent. young wife
with too much leisure. the ur1'
scrupulous and probably attrac-
tive youth who wants to amuse
himself with the pretty wife. to
dodge responsibility in regard
to the husband and to remain
free to start up, if he likes, an
entertaining little secret love
affair-the kind that one can
escape from at a moments
notice.
The stage is all set, you see,
for a not very pleasant drama,
perhaps even for a tragedy.
We've seen it on the stage a
hundred times and we are only
too familiar with the deceit, the
stolen pleasure, the swiftly-fol-
lowing misery, the jealousy. the
discovery, the tortured love that
the actors in such piece have
to picture for us.
And nothing can prevent the
development of such a drama,
even in the undramatic little
flat where this girl probably
lives, unless she decides i'm.
mediately. before her affection
is actually captured by the
secrecy-loving boy friend, to tell
her husband the whole story.
Perhaps it will be awkward
and perhaps there may even be
a little scene. But that won't
matter. The worry of deceit will
have been done away nth, and
that marriage will be saved
from going on the rocks.

drew a long weary sigh.
Ardeth rose. I'm going to
make YOU some hot tea, Ken.
You're shaking with chill. Lean
back against the pillows, dear.
Put your feet up. That's it"
She put a small pan Of water
on the gas jet which stood be-
hind a screen. Put tea in the

from the cupboard.

The Prying Eyes

When she came back to the
couch with the steaming cup,
Ken was asleep.
For a moment she stood mo.
tionless looking down at his un-
conscious face. Relaxed like
this, something of the. bleakness
had faded from his face. There
was something of the gay Ken
she remembered. She put out

PRO CAMPAIGN
HITS AT ALIEN
Enforcement of Jones Law
Held Means of Stopping
Rum Running Gangs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Pi-
A campaign against Alien viollt-
ors OF the prohibition statues and
the invocation OF the Jones Law
to bring about felony convictions
and deportation hold a major
place in the program Of the re-
organized enforcement bureau.
The plan fits in smoothly with
the general policy Of concentrating
on the big operators In an effort
to shut off the supply Of intox-
icating beverages al It's source.
Although reluctant to estimate
the proportion OF immigrant Offend
ers the directing officers OF the war
on illicit liquor are firmly OF the
opinion that aliens provide the
leadership. and the rank and file
as well, of a majority Of the big
r~um-running gangs.
In proof OF this contention. they
point to Chicago and other cities
in which a foreign element con-
trolls the activities OF the under
world.
The possibilities of the Jones
Law in bringing about deporta-
tions were pointed out by President
Coolidge when the measure was
approved by Congress and we're
cited then as his principal reason
for signing the bill. Since that
time. however. they have been
largely overshadowed in prohibi-
ton discussions by the heavy
penalties provided.
The law makes a distinction be-
tween minor and major. or felc--
ious. violations Of the dry statutes
which carry a maximum punish
ment Of five years Imprisonment
and $4,000 fine. An alien con-
victed of a felony Is deported at
the conclusion Of his prison term.
To obtain convictions OF this
magnitude. the bureau is relying
largely on a staff OF 200 specially
trained su~per-agents responsible
only TO the authorities here. They
are charged with ~ferreting out the
wholesale liquor conspiracies in
volving territory which overlaps
the administrative enforcement
district.
