trance.
why, my dearl" Mrs. Cleespaugh
began in a tone Of benevolent con-
Germ. Are you sure you ought to
have done this? You look quite
shaken even yet"
They made her sit down, fused
over her. Cass said, II just was
telling Mrs. CleeSpaugh that I ex-
pect to go back to town as soon as
the wedding is over. I have had a
good offer in Shapiro play. I
didn't want to tell you until you
were on your feet"
She's hopeless!" Mrs. Cleespaugh
murmured, f1uttering over the tea
tray. "She can't be content to sit
still and rest for a bit. I told her
I knew she was like that"
The two women smiled at each
other, but LANE was not convinced.
in her heart she knew there was
something else afoot.
THAT isn't what mother meant"
she unused. IT wonder what it is
all about"
Next day Give announced he had
to go to Richmond on business.
Il wish you didn't have to co."
Lame said.
Mothers glad to get me out of
the house. I never saw such furry.
Boxes keep arriving even in the
middle of the night. And caterers
men!" He shook his head.
Il tell you what! Put on your hat
and come in town with me. Well
get license at city hall and be
married today! You can go to Rich
mond with me and We'll avoid all
the fuss" His eyes looked bright
and mischievous.
Lame shook her head. Cant.
Your mother never would forgive
u.s.
He put out his hand, touched her
awkwardly. Look here, is it me
you're marrying? Or mother?"
SILLY" She shook him off. You'll
miss your train"
She stood on the steps, young
and flushed and triumphant, in her
riding things. Give had been see
ing that she had lessons and she
was doing very we'll, he told her
proudly. Her coat and breeches of
pale gray cloth fitted her charm
ingly. Her boots shone like old ma
hogany. Her casual hat was just
right. She might have posed for
an illustration in a magazine de-
voted to country life.
SILLY" She put her small gloved
hand in his, for good-by.
'Mayn't I say good-by to you
properly?"
"Out here with Kelly and all the
grooms standing around? She shook
her head at him, all naidenly prim-
ness. "I'll see you Tuesday"
He rode off in a cloud Of dust.
Lame, signing a little, went into
the house.
She had meant it when she said
she hated to have him go away.
Give stood as a bulwark between
her and his mothers importunate
fussing, between her and Tressa
Lords barbed hatred. She didn't
love Give, but she was fond of him.

His mother ignored this. The
prince telephoned just before you
came in" she said. HE said his
car was mired in some swamp out
near Babylon.
They were following car they
thought answered the description

young policemen in it. He was very
much chagrined."

The thought ranked that he had
oeen too late to be her rescuer.
Go to sleep and forget bout it,
MS mother advised. She patted his
shoulder. He kissed her awkWardly
What a really good sort she was
ne reflected. Perhaps he never hac
appreciated her until now.
CAss persisted, IT don't like it,
~ tell you. It's queer" It was 9
day or two after the Hunt ball
Lame, still little weak and spent
after her great adventure, lay hud-
died among the pillows Of her dam
ask chaise lounge.
Cass repeated the words. IT don't
like it,"
liane asked languidly, "What?"
oh, the whole business. There's
something ugly and frightening
about it. 1t looks as if some one
particularly did not want you tc
marry Give. AS if you had an en-
envy"
Lame sighed.
Mother, please don't worry, dear
I'm safe and it's all right, and all
those wretched people are safely be-
hind bars.
Fourth offense, it was, for the
men, and the girls been sent to re-

But she shuddered a little in spite
Of her brave words. Che did not

When I think of what might
have happened to you" Cass went
on, shaking her head.
Wont think of it, It's foolish.
I'm out of their reach"
"Oh, it's not those miserable peo-
pie I'm afraid Of" Cass said. "They
don't count. But what this man
McDermid said to Give makes me
believe that you have an implacable
enemy some place" >
Lame shivered, but she managed
to laugh.
How silly! Nuns, you're play
ing a melodrama."
"All right, child. But I'll be re-
neved when you're safely married. :"
Why. Lame wondered, did they
all use that phrase, safely mar
ried?"
by the way" Cass went on, "as
soon as you're able, Mrs. Cleespaugh
wants you to look at some samples
for the wedding dress. MORE, satin,

After days of fruitless effort. sheik Ibn Jad
began to despair of finding a way into the VAL

idea. He would send Fejjuan, his slave, to the
mountain Gala tribe. Being a Gala himself,
Fejjuan could doubtless persuade his people,
who knew the country, to lead the Arabs to-

The Bulk OF Our Thought
and Energy Runs to Ways
and Means Whereby Some
One Else Will ProUide
Work.

NEW YORK, May This is the
IN first depression We ever tried
to solve by experts. That may be
one reason why we are not getting
along any better.
We have been bewildered by moth
ing so much as the variety and ex-
cellence Of the solutions offered; We
have been offered so many ways out
that we don't know which to choose.
Every one admits that Mr.. Mel
lon is right in declaring that our
standards Of living must be main
tanned, and that Mr.. Swope is right
when he says that jobs constitute
the real problem.
So, too, every one admits that the
International Chamber Of Com
MERGE delegates are right in believ-
ing that we have struck bottom, be-
cause if we haven't, there just isn't
any.
But copper is selling at cents
a pound, the lowest in thirty-seven
years, and cotton at less than 10;
income tax returns have dropped
80 or IS per cent and the federal
A&asxnment faces a deficit of more
than a billion dollars; there are
about as many people out Of work
as there were last winter, foreign
trade shows few signs Of revival.
When you get right down to brass
tacks, we still are betting on psy-
chology to pull us out Of the mud.

In Signal CorpS

MORRISON, III, was Millikan's
4VA birthplace, on March %, 1863.
His father was the Rev. Mr.. SilaS
Franklin.
Millikan received his A. B. from
Oberlin in 1891. He studied sub
sequently at Columbia, Berlin and
Gottingen.
In 1896, he joined the faculty Of
the University of Chicago, remain
ing there until 1921. During the
World war he was in Washington
as chief Of the science and research
division of the United States signal
corps.
He was awarded the Nobel prize
in 1928 for his researches in the
field of the electron.
He was the first to Isolate the
electron and measure its electric
charge. His experiments really dem
onstrated the existence Of the elec-
iron.
In the literature of physics, his
work is known as the oil-drop ex-
pertinent. In the experiment, drop
Of oil was permitted to float be-
tween two metal plates which were
charged electrically.
The rate at which the drop fell
could be regulated by the potential
Of the plates. When one or more
electrons settled on the drop, the
result was to change the rate at
which the drop moved.
From this, he calculated the eleo-
trio charge Of the electron.

SWINGING Cats

nOSSIBLY we still can swing a
Il cat in some of the confined
cloisters in which we manage to live
and breathe and-after a fashion
have our being.
But looking at the setup from an
Empire State grand stand, it is easy
to understand that few of us have a
reasonable allotment in which to
swing an emotion.
And that, after all, is more inpor-
tant than throwing the sixteen
pound cat.
Again, one gets some notion of
the prodigal wastage of our rivers
We sit, or might, upon an island
blessed by rushing waters.
When the Indians went away they
left behind them groves and beaches
coming down to the waters rim. All
that is changed. For now a streams
edge means no more than a good
factory site.
And all along our borders stand
the tall, black, grinly towers of the
industries which prison us.
If this were indeed, as Jimmy
Walker says, the Imperial City of
New York, then some emperor ought
to sit upon his pinnacle and, looking
down upon gray spaces and those
Of brown, say, With my thumb
will put III here a smudge Of green

"TFHAT," said a man, indicating
Il needle point several hun
dred feet below, els the ChrySler
building"
We were standing just below the
mooring mast Of the Empire State,
on the 1920 floor. Everybody with
a desire to grow philosophical
should spend half an hour each
week on this high platform.
1t was the afternoon Of May day.
In Madison square the Communists
were holding a mass meeting. Two
inches further downtown the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars were to
gather, and after them the So
cialists.
On each roStrum there stood a
man waving his arms and insisting
that with him lay salvation and
beyond the sweep of his fist moth
ing but disaster and rank heresy.
And from 1900 feet up each ora
tor was no more thai a tiny bug
and the crowd about him pass
ing swarm of ants.
At that distance policies, either
political or economic, blended into
the extraordinary sameness OF
humankind when reduced to small
dimension.

An unsnortsmanlike Habit

In the current number of the Atlantic Monthly
the following statement is made in connection with
a review Of William Croffut's can American Process
SION:
Since the author crossed Charons ferry some
years since one need not hesitate to note that his
pages bubble with innocent dissatisfaction; he is
pleased perpetually with his own accomplishments
and vastly and engagingy interested in the amazing
company in which he passes his active days"
The direct implication here is that it is proper to
make critical statements regarding an author only
after he is dead This is precisely the conventional
attitude of American historians and scholars,
They will fay numerically some poor chonicler
who long has been dead. But not word can be said
about some fagrantly dishonest prejudced writer
who still fingers this side the grave, particularly if
he belongs to the respectable majority camp.
That truly great work, the Encyclopedia Of the
Social Sciences, goes far to exclude from
its pages biographies of all living scholars.
This attitude seems to be complete negation o.
both logic and good craftsmanship. If we have any
thing to say in criticism Of man, let say it while
he is alive and reply.
Further criticism Of the living gives them the
benefit of knowing what others think OF them, and
allows them to take advantage of such information in
the future Improvement of their material.

such action he says yet the reorganization of the
federal employment service which is taking place is
resulting in the complete destruction Of the present
organization in Virginia.
THE reorganization has gone on without the least
disposition to advise with or cooperate with in
satisfactory way department and the officials Of
Virginia"
The commissioner referred to the vetoed Wagner
bin as "he most constructive effort of the federal
government to relieve the situation"
When President Hoover vetoed the Wagner bin he
assumed grave responsibility to provide something
better in the way Of job-fnding service for unem-
ployed men and women. The country has waited with
considerable patience for this better way; but doubts
and questions multiply employment chiefs, pre-
sunlably skilled in the problems involved, complain
Of what is being done.
This is one responsibility that can not be shifted
or avoided. Congress did its part toward enacting
the employment plan which social workers econo-
mists, labor and public officials had worked out as
best.
The Wagner plan would have been law now if the
President had not rejected the combined efforts of
this group for project of his own.
The country wants employment service that
will work. and there seems to be no present prospect
Of its forgetting being diverted from this demand

The Rio Shot

When we talk glibly of dictators usually think
Of Nfussolini and Stain-uness we name some OF the
lesser ones like Pilsudsk Alexander, Horthy or Ma
chado But even Nfussolini and Stain are pkers COM
pared with Mustaha Kenal Pasha.
Mustapha Renal on Monday was elected president
of the Turkish republic for the third time More remark
able, he was reelected without single dissenting
vote 1t may be surmised from this that the parlia
ment which did the voting is under the control OF
Renal in an absolute sense rarely duplicated any
where at any time in any elective body.
Mussoni and Stain are dictators by the power
Of parties; Mussolin speaks for Fascsm, Stain for
Communism. But Renal is dictator in his own right
He is his own party; he is his own government
That is understandable. The Turkish republic is
his He made it. More than that, he made modern
Turkey
He changed the habits, laws, alphabet, dress, Gus
toms of the Turkish people. He is the Ghazi, "the
Unconouered." Enemies from without or from within
have not prevailed against him
When Turkey was PROSTATE and dismembered, the
allies in Constantinop1e and the Greeks in Smyrna,
he freed his country. Then he abolished the
caliphate the Mosem dictatorship Then he abol-
ished the tez Then he abolished polygamy. And he
went on abolishing the old and building the new, until
he had nation to suit himself.
In all Turkey there was only one person more
modern than he and only thing he could not con-
uuer That was the beautiful LATHE Hanoum. She
was his wife So he had parliament give him the
power Of divorce And he used it on LATHE Hanounl
AS far as any one can see, Nfustapha Renal Pasha
is going to remain in the dictatorship business long
time

War in the Mountains

What's to be done about the business and indus
trial situatonP
In an American temple OF business the beautiful
marble home Of the United States Chamber OF Com
merce, which faces the White House across green
and fowcry park, the answer is being sought this
week by some hundreds Of business leaders from
twenty-six countries
The question, in many Of its phases, is being dis
cussed in spacious convention hall and about COM
Portable lunch and dinner tables.
In the mountains Of Kentucky it also is being de-
bated-or at least, one localized aspect Of the
question But the debate among the mountaineers
is taking different form.
Machine guns, shotguns and squirrel rifles are the
Spokesman. And, whereas in Washington the talk
largely concerns trade balances gold reserves and the
Ike the talk in the mountains is chiefly about hunger
and starvation.
It Is hard to forecast what may result from either
Of these debates OF the the public may say Just
some more talk: of the other, "Just another fight"
Yet it seems this should not be So 1t wouldn't be
so if the world can pay for all the things it can pro-
duce That appears to be generally agreed. If there's
an exception it would be the coal industry; many
believe we have passed through the age Of coal and
that vast deposits still held by the earth never will
be used.
Yet, we believe it is fact that mass consumption
ton, even in the case of coal That is to say be-
lieve it is possible to pay the producers Of the world
sufficient to enable them to buy all the useful things
that produced.
That is the problem which world business and
American business have to face. 1t will not be solved
by accident. Accident may give America another
temporary period of good times accident may do the
same for Czecho- Slovakia any other country; 1t
may do it for country at the expense of another
There won't, however be anything resembling
world prosperity until the mass of workers in all
countries are receiving pay that will enable them to
buy a reasonable part of the things they grow or
manufacture.
While business men think only of immediate
profits no scheme to insure permanent prosperity can
be worked out for any country While nations think
only of national Notwithstanding national profits
no scheme Of permanent prosperity can be worked
out for the world

Too Many iLeanerS'

T~HE challenge we face includes
4 more than some Of the experts
appear to realize.
The new economic structure lacks
certain latent forces which went
with the old one.
For one thing, it has developed a
much larger proportion of people
who can not take care of themselves,
even to a partial extent, in times
Of stress.
For another, it has reduced the
number who would be inspired Or
driven to do something by the re-
sponsihility OF having to look after
their own shops, factories, or enter
prises.
To sum it UP, the bulk Of our
thought and energy runs to ways
and means whereby some one else
will provide work.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-05-07

sound point of view, because most
of us do and must live Our lives
upon the surface of the earth,
where practices and beliefs are to us
a vital and even an essential thing.
One yields even to slight bias
phenny in regard to providence if he
gets too far aloft. It is, like this,
from distances that captains of
celestial industry regard our little
planet.
It may be that certain grave in
justices of pestilence and whirl-
wind pass as nothing, since they are
directed by beings who watch the
world too microscopically.
However, there is one way in
which those ardent for betterment
in life may find stimulus in look
ing at the city whole and spread
out utterly to the gaze.
Even from 1900 feet, sparse bits
of green stand out in the drab pat
tern of the brick and stone. This
little smudge is a park. And even
smaller is the tiny display of some
isolated tree in a backyard.
One gets a sense of the prison
contours which we have raised
against ourselves.

HEALTH SERVICE
Man Can Not Live on Fat Alone

If the fat in the blood is in ex-
cess, the fluid portion Of the blood
will have a slightly milky color.
However, the fat usually is taken
up by the tissues as rapidly as it
develops and either stored away or
used up promptly by the cells in
the production of heat or to pro-
vide energy.
The amount Of fat that person
uses up in his body is, of course,
regulated by the amount of carbo-
hydrate or sugar thai he is taking
up and using at the same time.
1t is interesting to realize that
the chemical changes that have
been described are going on all the
time, changing the form and nature
OF various substances to make them
available for the needs of the living
cells.
