Adventurous Age Passing.
(New York World -TelegramD

On December T, in all probability, the Prohibit tion Amendment will be junked, and with it will pass great age of adventure. The frontier had been conquered; the war was over; youth was searching for some wilderness to trample when Prohibition the scene.
 Prohibition saved him from uneventful man. hood There was always so much for study hero to do There connections to try, cocktail parties that must be braved, home brew to bottle, speakeasies to be explored, safe methods of hiding gin to devise. Who will not look back December 7 with rather a melancholy eye those tense moments when he took the first sip of dear friends punch? Those mornings, that tried a heart of steel, when he slowly opened his eyes to see whether there still in the sky? It will not be many years before a child, asking her grandfather for story will be told with nostalgia sigh Well my dear, it the night that forgot my card to Tonys place and they tried to throw me out"
 Heroic times! Valorous days But in the last few months this spirit of adventure has been low. The flame has burned dim. Everything has been tried; every form of headache has been experenced Ievery sacrifice has been made
 What now remains for adventurous young man to do? Alas there will always be other blund- lers of his elders to challenge him.

AN EFFECTIVE FORM OF RELIEF.

The opening of the season for trapping beaver in Southeast Alaska, even on limited scale, as announced by the Alaska Game Commission, is most timely.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. A new man who, for example, gets a pat ent on his invention of a new expansible, chamber motor re- ceives his Government OK" after the bright, brown eyes of a young woman have gone over his plans.
 Elizabeth Jane Newton might in- spire jealousy in her famous ances- tor. Sir Isaac Newton, discoverer of the laws of gravity, if he could see her at work
 Engines FaScinate Her
 All day she pores over intricate charts and engineers drawings at the patent examiners office in the Commerce Department. Each week she passes on from 20 to 40 appli- cations for patents on inventions in the motor world.
 They are complicated" Miss Newton admits, but engines, espe- cially the internal combustion type, are the most fascinating things I know"
 She began her training at Duke University and then taught mathe- matics in a North Carolina high school
 She appears anything but the type of person who understands just why an engine performs it's mysterious functions. She speaks with a soft southern accent. Her auburn hair curls softly about her face. But her desk is a business like affair, where she presides over blue prints.
 "Jusr what $ my job? WAy, I interview applicants and attorneys" !" she says. Then I examine and re- port on their claims.
 Reared on Farm
 There have been cotton presses, inventions for dairying, preserving bee culture and tobacc0-my first assignments" she says. But I was brought up in the midst Of sUc1 things on a North Carlina farm
 Then I was moved to fire sTstn- guishers, liquid heaters and vapcr- izers, printed matter, book making. curtains, tents and umbrellAs
 Some months ago I fell heir 70 the motor art. But there's nothing unusual about it. Women have been inventing for centuries, and they are increasing annually at the ra-e of three to one, compared Wlth with industrial arts and transpor- tation, rather than household con- trivances"
 Miss Newton is irrepressible about her enthusiasm for engines. When she travels she usually visits fac- tories, where she is readily admit ted into rooms marked, Danger Keep Out"
 Patent examiners are barre q from inventing while in Govern ment service.
 That doesn't stop me, though from doing things for myself" says Miss Newton. T can at least figure out an easier way to iron a collar. "

He emerged from an obscure

sympathetic outline of the man and

Mr. Evans seems to have gone to

about Smiths early life.
He traces him through his boy
hood at Palmyra, N Y. through the
years when he was founding his
church, through the move to Ohio,
the adventure in Missouri and the
arrival in Illinois, up to the murder
that finally removed him from the
scene.
He then examines his theology

insists that Smith neither was a

She seemed very well to me-"

CHAPTER SIX

THERE was no sign in Ida Stat
i ford's smiling face that Bar
retts words had aroused her.
She said warmly, How charming
of you'll Please do come. I've been
anxious about Elinor lately and the
sort Of young men she seems to
prefer. I'd like to have her know
you'll"
That. Ida thought with salts
faction, was a start and a good one.
She wasn't going to have Barrett
Colvin paying attentions to her
daughter 1t would completely spoil
her plans. Ida wanted to cultivate
Barrett because she knew Aunt Ella
thought highly of him.
Furthermore, Barrett Colvin was
attractive, and Ida was not ready
to believe any attractive man could
prefer her daughter to herself.
She was sure that her words had
found their mark She had seen the
stiffening of Barrett's honest face.
Teh thing to Go, Ida decided a few
moments later as she waited in the
airless reception room for Miss Ella,
was to make Barrett feel that there
was no redeeming Elinor.
He was credulous as a child. 1t
would be easy to convince him that
Elinor was a member of the wild
younger set.
Ida moved restlessly. Would the
old lady never come? Barrett Colvin
had said she was we'll. Only that
morning the manager of a small,
select gown shop had asked in
sinuatingly, listing several purchases.
MISS SMYTHE entered then.

Ida knew she was not sorry, Miss
Sexton has gone to lie down and
begs to be excused"
Insolence, Ida decided, but she
smiled as she rose, drawing her
fur coat closer about her soft,
white throat. One had to smile
upon Miss Smythe.

suits, Liza mufmured IN ner sweet

phone you," Miss Smythe answered.

door. Ida found herself outside in
