Then Dixie sat before the mirror
while Cherry dampened the frizzled
unruly hair and combed 1t pain
'stakingly into net waves. 1t was
almost an hours work, but when 1t
was finished Dixie was enthusiastic.
1T looks better than when they
set it at the shopl" she insisted.
Honestly, ] don't know how can
thank you"
There's nothing to thank me
for Cherry told her Il didn't
have anything else to do and it's
been fun
A little later Dixie departed. In
her own apartment she hung away
the raincoat that was dry now and
tucked the galoshes out of sight.
Dixie stood before the mirror for
a moment inspecting her carefully
wsXed locks. She was thinking Of
the girl down stairs.
There's no use TO tell her" Dixie
informed the image in the looking
glass. ITS better for her not to
know, but just the same it's dirty
shamel I'd like to tell Dan Phillips
what I think Of him"
Tt was evident from the black
looks directed at the girl in the
mirror that these remarks would not
be complimentary.
With sigh, Dixie turned away to
pick up the mystery story she had
begun the night before.
The way in which the cookbook
ing amateur detective tracked down
the perpetrator of the cerfes of hor-
rifying crimes was fascinating read
ing. Dixie did not put the book
down until she had finished the
last chapter. ....

A DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

TN 1.-THE Forge" r. S. stribling
i painted strong, persuasive
picture of the death of the tradi-
tional civilization of the old south
in the Civil war.
Now he has written ''The Store"
an even better novel, which studies
the painful efforts of the south to
re-establish itself following the war
and the disastrous reconstruction
period.
Colonel Miltiades Walden. who
figured so prominently in the first
novel, is the central character of
this one. At the time the story
opens-in the early '90s-Colonel
Milt has fallen on evil days.
The enfranchised blacks of north
ern Alabama are little better off
than they were under slavery. The
upper class whites have been ruined,
the middle class has not found its
moorings; the poor white trash"
are sunk in despair
Colonel Milt, like the class he
represents, tries to fight his way
back to fortune. Once he sees a
way, he is utterly ruthless; he bold
ly steals a steamboat load of cotton,
sells it, brushes his ancient rival,
establishes himself in spite of public
condemnation.
But the book is interesting, not so
much for its plot as for it's back
ground
Mr.. Stribling has presented de-
tailed picture, bringing out the con-
fusion, the misery and the turbu-
lence of the MISREPRESENTATION era
with vivid colors. THE Store" is
an exceptionally fine book.
Published by Doubleday, Doran &
Co., and priced at $3.50 it is the
July selection of the Literary Guild.

BY now it had become only matter of self
preservation with Tarzan as he attempted to
fend of with his bough the countless attacks
upon his legs. This was easy as the first
enemy lines moved past in loose ranks. But
presently the solid mass of the Veltorismak-
usian cavalry was upon him. There was no
veering aside to avoid him In unbroken ranks
they bore down upon the ape-man. He threw
his useless bough before him to impede their
progress and grappled them With his fingers.

consistency of the whole thing is in
slashing the salaries of clerks and
doorkeepers 81 a day.
Let's see what that amounts to in
actual savings.
The house employs no more than
twenty persons. If the session con-
tinues for forty days, as appears at
present. the reduction in wages will
total $500 for both houses.
That saving is achieved In the pay
Of those least able to afford it.
If the house was consistent in its
determination to save, it should
have adopted Whites resolution
which would have meant $500 q
member, or a total of $4,000 for
the forty days.
Compare that with the $500 and
you will agree that the house S
action in regard to the employees
certainly was a fine example of the
inconsistency which the people may
have to expect.
Thirteen members, however, saw
the injustice of the reduction and
voted and spoke against passage OF
the appropriations bill, but the large
majority, evidently afraid that fur
ther debate might result in having
their own pay cut, voted AYE" and
the measure now is in the senate.
Perhaps in that chamber it may
be decided that the session was not
convened for the sole purpose OF
effecting saving to taxpayers OF
$500.
No one finds fault with the per
diem of the members.
But consistency can not be toe
much to expect for the peoples
representatives. Or are we all
wrong and the people really are
without representation?
The next few weeks will tell.

you'd know how it feels to be tired"
Tears smarted in Cherry's eyes,
but she was determined Dan should
not see them. She could not trust
herself to speak.
They never had quarreled 50 be-
fore. There was nothing over which
they were disagreeing now. Both

the pie.
The hot, sugary liquid dubbed
over the edge Of the crust and
burned her hand. Cherry cried out
in pain. She dropped the pie on the
shelf and held her hand under
running water from the tap.
The pie was ruined The blaze

IF what occurred in the house OF

of governmental economy that the
state is to expect from the special
session Of the general assembly,
then it may as we'll fold up and

to attract the attention of Speaker

Finally, when recognized, White
presented resolution which would

The Speaker ruled that the
resolution was out of order, because

ployed
Responding to cries for help. par
tlcularly from the large urban centers.
Gov. George White summoned the As
eemblymen to enact a relief program
Tor the next IL months. It was the
nrst extraordinary session of the law
makers in six years.
Under the Governors program the
only tax increase proposed is an addi-
tional l per cent on the gross earn
1ngs OF public utilities, except the car
r1ers and pipe lines, over a five-year
10000.
The other $12,50o,o0o would be made
available for relief purposes in the DO
utical subdivisions of the State by di-
verting this amount from the automo-
bile license fees and gasoline taxes now
used for road and street repairs and
reconstruction.
The utility tax increase would be
allocated to the cities, counties and
townships, which would be authorized
to issue bonds in the amount of their
allotments and sell them Immediately
The bonds would be retired in five years
by the tax.
Gov. Whites plan also provides for

QUICK RELIEF FROM

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for caIomeI.
Dr.. Edwards, a practicing physi-
eian for 20 years, and calomeI's old

for Olive Tablets while treating pa
tients for chronic constipation and
torpid livers.
Olive Tablets do not contain caIo-
mel, just q healing, soothing vegetable
laxative, safe and pleasant.
No gripping is the "keynote" of these

force them to unnatural action.
