do with it." That means that he can take in
few from each party. So he got him three
Conservatives three Labor and a couple of
Liberals. The Liberals are the old Lloyd
George Party, and they are the smallest party,
but neither of the others have a ma jority so
that leaves them like the Progressives in our
Senate They are the ones you have to deal
with before you put anything over
Well the Co-lition got together and they
knew that their only hope was to cut so ne of
the Dole, but they knew what had happened
to Ramsey when he wanted to nip off half of it,
So they kinder studied and figured if they pro-
posed to slash off third would they still be
able to retain their Positions. Then they held
another huddle and decided that about 10 per
cent ought not to make EN- so mad that they
would throw them dhe Co-lition) out on their

NOW they are going to pull through They
are that kind of people. They feel their loss
OF banking prestige worse than they do any,
thing else When you have been the worlds
money headquarters, why its sorter hard to see
1t slip away.
You know Mr.. Hoover is sorter right about
that Dole" He sees what it has done for
England, and he knows what it would do for
this country. OF course no country in its right
mind would ever adopt the method that Eng
land did That is just give people money that
couldent get work, and not make them do some
thing for it-just let them sit and draw enough
pay to live Its got to be done by giving
them something to do for that money. That's
what ruined the whole plan over there
1 will never forget in of the Arkansaw
towns that visited with Frank Hawkes. last
year on our tour They had been feeding some
thing over three hundred in their Soup Kitchen
and one night they announced that they had
arranged so that everyone would be given work
the next morning at about Il think it was 81 SO
day.. You could get real meal in town for
rs cents, and after three meals that would have
left you rs cents. Well the next morning there
was less than seventy five out of the three hun
dred showed up. So you see there is where
England pulled their boner.
You cant just give people something @or
nothing, you got to do something for what you
get. Now they got big Committees working in
all the big Cities getting together a sum of
money for the coming FAN and Winter Mr..
Hoover is going to insist on the people taking
care Of each other long it is possible to
do 50, and that will be long time, for never
was there much money in the hands of the
few now. So you see Englands problem Is
our problem.

Toby disappeared through a low door into
the rear premises. simultaneously with his
return, bent old woman. with unkempt gray
hair which seemed to have spread all over her
face, untidiy dressed in a soiled black gown,
pushed her way through the side door. She
looked at the stranger at the bar, whom she
had known for SO years, but she took no
notice of him.
"MademoiSelle" she croaked you are

Mademoiselle slipped from her stool, and,
without remark, obeyed the summons
With the closing of the door Toby became
eloquent A stream of words broke from his
lips. Now and then he banged the counter.
The stranger listened. and his face which
one might have judged to be rubicund and
cheerful, became as hard as granite. He did
not once interrupt; he waited until words
melted into sobS.

him

passionate reply.
"One must consider the stranger muir

Toby obeyed, and, with both glasses in his

Pere Delous chuckled.

shaking hand "Ah, it is the medicine need,
but work Is scarce, and cognac is dear"
The man in the long cape felt his pulse and
nodded gravely.
II will give you free medicine, Pere Delous,"
he promised, for know that you will never
pay for it,"
His prospective patient mumbled. With
greedy eyes he watched the pastille dropped
into the glass of brandy; with greedy fingers
he raised 1t to his lips and drained its con-

Each of these 40 clubs is concentrat-
ing its efforts on five miles of roadside
near its own community. The clubs are
collecting and growing material to be
tranSplanted ON the sides Of the high
way, when they shall have been properly
graded and prepared, and the individual
members are engaged in enlisting new
supporters to the cause of highway
Identification.
A QUESTIONABLE prepared by Mr.. Neale
has been distributed to each club in or
der that they may report on the condi-
tons existing in the stretch of highway
under study. Included IN the report are
the conditions of trees and Shrubs on
the roadsides, whether the fills and
bitches are in need OF planting or grad
ing If the shoulders of the road should
be sowed in grass, the number of snipe
signs and billboards, the number of UNI
slightly dumps, the number Of monu-
ments, milestones, legendary signs, etc,
and the places where there are special
opportunities for turnouts, parking
places or wayside parks noted.
Roadside beauty can only be at
tanned by intelligent cooperation and a
careful study of the situation" MIR
Neale said, in speaking of the work

needs of each particular stretch. Hur-
ried planting without proper study and
