But then-do you suppose she loves

other silence.
"Oh yes-when you're married to a
person." Her own words carried
Gail over that wearisome road her
thought had beaten fiat in the last 30
months and she could not go on. Jeal-

suffocating fumes in her heart Ariel,
Dicks wife. Ariel for more than two
wonderful years Dicks wife, sharing
his breakfasts and meeting him at the
door at night. 1t wasn't fair-it wasn't
fair.
These agonies were routine now. But
they were rarer than they had been.
She could bear them better than she
once had borne them. only because she
knew that they would not endure. The
pain would ease; the other interests of
her life flow in to fill the gaping river
bed that love for Dick had once briln-

After that the long months had spun
themselves to a year, to two years, to

When Phil, only a few weeks before
these happy holidays at Carmel, had
told his sisters that sometime this
Summer he was TO be married to Lily

quiet Edith who broke into tears. pro-

They came home wearied, sunburned
and content from their vacation at
Carmel on a hot Saturday afternoon.
They took taxi. an unwonted eXtrav-

through the dry, silent Summer garden
and into the side door, The house was
unlocked silent, empty. Outside its
shaded opened windows tree branches
swayed in the early afternoon wind.

GENEVA. Jan. 8 U.SJ. - The
countries, including the United
States. which have been victim

sweeping victory yesterday before
the permanent central opium
board created by the League of
Nations.
Striking an unexpected blow
at the Leagues opium bloc"
the board went on record as
favoring the opening up of the
Leagues narcotic conference sched-

drugs. The present agenda re-

to be discussed.

The boards recommendation
was ordered sent both to the
Leagues, advisory committee on
traffic in opium, which meets

May stated that unless all

Daily Report OF
Stock Markets

NEW YORK. July 80 U.P)-The
stock market today shook off effects
of the United States Steel corpora
ton dividend readjustment of two
DAYS ago and moved up slowly most
of the session.
Toward the close, renewed selling
brought prices down from their
highs. but the majority made gains
for the day.
J. 1. Case was singled out for
pressure as the close approached.
Traders unloaded the stocks in an
ticipation of reduction in the di-
vidend in the near future following
omission of the Deere & company
dividend.
Traders were hesitant about max
ing commitments until after the
Bethlehem Steel corporation meet
ing. results of which were to be
announced after the close. Some
traders were reluctant to continue
short and their covering contribut>
ed to the rally in the afternoon.
Dealings, however, were on a
small scale after the first half hour,
which equaled yesterdays t~300,-

market situation although condi-

HEAD OF LEGION
GIVES ADDRESS
AT CONVENTION

PRESCOTT, Ariz., July 80. U.P)-
With more than 1000 delegates in
attendance, the 18th annual Arizo-
ma American Legion convention
opened officially here today with
an address by Ralph T. O'Neill. ma
tional commander of the legion.
Commander ONeill urged Arizona
Legionnaires to promote public i'm
provementS as a means of terminal
ing the present economic and in
dustrial depression.
Through promotion of these i'm
provements, ONeill declared "jobs
and iobless" would be brought to-
gether and the nation would start
the road back to prosperity. He
discussed the crime situation in the
United States, various subjects OF
legislation and the loans on COM
penSation certificates.
The crime situation in the Unit
ed States" he declared, at least as
far as crimes of violence are con-
cerned. is worse than in any other
country II is getting to be a seri-
Gus menace to our civilization.
There are many reasons why
crime is increasing and there are
many reasons why the criminal ele-
ment is largely composed of young
men and women.
The principal reasons, however,
are the loss of faith in the flmda-
mental institutions, the church,
state, law and the home due to the
anarchistic and Bolshevistic doc
trines preached in our schools and
public institutions.

European industrial and financial
situation.
And if there was JOY" he con-
tinued. there must also have beer
surprise when it was discovered that
the people of the United States had
long since reached a conclusion up
on a subject which Washington,
until then. had declined to consider,
and that the action of the President,
completely at variance with all the
doctrines and fixed resolutions pro-
claimed from Washington, was not
only heartily welcomed and approx
ed. but by unanimous consent was
de clared to be the most conspicuous
act of high craftsmanship in his ca
reer.
Baker urged the putting aside of
such questions as to whether or
not the Presidents action might not
have been taken much earlier" in in
terest of present day cooperation.
Earlier in his address, the former
war secretary declared his belief
that "the United States ought to de-
clare as a fundamental doctrine of
its national policy that it will not
trade with any nation at war which
has been declared. by competent
tribunal. to be the aggreSsor.'
Referring TO Russia, Baker said
the Soviet republic has asked the
rest of the world several discon-
certing. If not destructive questions,
which it may be that she herself
has not yet satisfactorily answered,
but which challenge us to try to
answer them about our own situa-
ton"
He pointed out that while the
problem of the rest of the world Is
to forge ahead, Russia's problem Is
to catch up, and indicated that
to his mind the so-called Five year
plan" is essentially the movement
by which, without any announce
ment of a definite scheme. the
Japanese built a technology and be-
came an industrial nation in an in
credibly short space of time
Referring to disarmament, Baker
said that "all progress is an illusion

ibility of the disaster of world war
