 Underlying objections have been expressed by senatorial drys to the plan of Senator Blaine, republican, Wisconsin, to held another big pro- hibition field day the middle of January. Blaine has announced he intends to call dominant figures in the organized wet and drys camps to testify before his Judiciary sub- committeee.
 Officials of the Anti-Saloon League, Methodist Board of Tenn perance, prohibition and public morals, and the association against the prohibition amendment are to be the first witnesses. The com mittee was appointed last week to investigate pending repeal resolu- tions.
 The drys feel this ground has been covered before. They are not inclined to protest publicly about the matter now, but 1t is under stood they will consult Chairman Norris of the Judiciary committee. who named Blaine as head of the board of inquiry.

 "The world to-day is covered with sore spots" the former war secretary said, "spots which may flame into fire at any moment"
 President Wilson, through his knowledge of international affairs envisaged this very situation when he drafted his covenant in the league of nations, Baker pointed out.
 "Wilson was not interested in Europe" Baker continued. "He was interested in America and realized that Europe was our close neighbor.
 "Wilson's covenant gave man. kind q substitute for war which is vital in this new era, when wars no longer can be stopped by king. in this era when 1t is not possible for any nation to win a war.

come over them.
A rigid faced landlady came to
the door. In a moment Ross
glimpsed the situation. The woman
heard the explanation with a scowl !;
and he decided to wait until he had
seen the helpless girl to her room.
Then he said quietly:
Look after her well, and l will
see that you are paid"
"She has her room paid until
Sunday night. After that the city
will take care of her-unless she
has the cash Sunday night. You
look like a bum to me, but if you get
the money, all right" the woman
said shortly.
Ross smiled. "You have my num-
ber; but I'll have the money. Be
good to her. She's a mere kid and
up against it."

The next morning early he was at
an agency. He stepped to the desk
just in time to hear a man say,
That's no job for mel" and go on.
"I'll take it," Ross agreed.
The clerk smiled. "This job is
driving truck for the construction
company at Millburg. The truck
carries explosives"
For two days Ross drove the
truck. Saturday night he received
his two days pay and hurried to 80
East street, paid the grim land
lady rent for another week, and
talked for enc long happy hour with
the girl he had vowed to aid. Her
eyes had improved little, and un-
der his quiet determination she
agreed to rest during the coming
week.
Il don't see why you are so
good to me-" she said hesitatingly at
parting.
Her hand sought his. "But-your
