Barry between herself and the
table.
They were all gay, or seemed
to be. The French-Canadian
walters buzzed about the table,
bringing rare wines and excel
lent beer, and everything one
couldn't or shouldn't obtain in
"dry" New York. It was a
marvellous party.
In her boyish garb, Loranda
never had looked prettier. Un-
der cover of the noise, she
seemed to be getting in a great
deal of intimate talk with
Barry. BY leaning forward with
her left elbow on the table, and
sitting as close to him as
though they were sweethearts,
she contrived to cut off most
of "the gang. and as, under
the influence Of the wines, the
babel grew yet noiser, her head
was so close to his that he had
to look directly in her eyes to
answer her. those forget-me-
not eyes whose beauty Loranda
had already enhanced in the
ladies'. room with an application
of blue paste on the lids and
a dark blue mascara on her
naturally light lashes.

the long, strenuous day, and her
uncertainty of "Cliss" among
those lovely younger girls had
exhausted her.
But from the commencement
of the trip, it had been evident
to all-except to Barry himself,
and the self-absorbed, troubled
Genevieve-that Loranda's eyes,
her most sparkling repartee
were directed to Barry Deane
alone, that she was bent on
fascinating him.

detached friendliness.

a ApvFTT6RE T775';5; ;I5j CLUB

This is the third birthday an
niversary of our good club men,
Der, Helen Moran.
The Adventure Club wishes
her many happy returns.
The two Adams youngsters,
Marguerite and Wilbur, are old
club members. If our memory
serves us they were among the
first from their town, Seat
Pleasant, Md, to join.
Marguerite is our member
ship chairman at the District
Line School. And if you go
to that school you will very
probably be hearing from her
shortly. We have a little bet
with ourselves that Marguerite
signs up EVERY boy and girl
in the school.
Lillian MallOney, also of Seat
Pleasant, is a new member.
We are delighted to welcome
her to the club. Both for her
own sake and that of her two
friends. And, incidentally, her
town. You know how we feel
about Seat Pleasant.
That Chicago Dog
Red, the Chicago dog who in.
herited $27,5OO from his mis-
tress, continues to hold the
interest of our club members.
We published a letter from
Bernard Glassman remember
it, in which he said that Red
would soon forget his dead
owner and his grief over her
passing.
Arthur Sislen, 656 Ninth st.
N. E., an old club member,
doesn't agree with Bernard.
He writes:
II read Bernard Glassman's
letter in which he said that
while Red probably thought
about his mistress all day now
his grief would soon wear
away. 1 don't think that Red
will ever forget her no matter
if he has 10000 kind new
owners twice as good. I bet
Red would give all his money
in gold just to see his old mis-
treSS once"
What do you think about it,
club members? Do you agree
with Bernard or Arthur? We
would like to hear from you on
the subject. Our own expert
ence has been, and we have
had a number of dogs, that

YOU'LL never forget.
There is a dog cemetery out
in Maryland, and on one stone
is a bit of a poem. We wish we
could remember it all but it be-
gins with something about that
ONE dog. The owner hopes
that some day, somewhere he'll
see that dog again and that
the little faithful barking
ghost will leap to kiss my phan-
tom hand" You see, we like
dogs.
Dorothy Wolf, 1925 Ninth st.
N. w., veteran club member,
has something to say about
Red" She writes:
II have been thinking about
that dog, Red, and his money,
and / am sure that all he thinks
is when does nay next meal
come or Il am SO stuffed full
of bones and meat and things I
like that 1 don't care if I don't
eat for another year. I am sure
that he doesn't think about his
mistress because he must still
have plenty of people to pet
him. He knows he has a good
home and plenty to eat and
that is ALL"
That is another view of the
subject. With which of these
three, Bernard, Arthur and
Dorothy, do you agree?

FRANCE WILL:
TAX IMPORTS
FROM i. 5,
Americans in Paris Say /!
Will Ruin Their Trade
With France
By WALLACE CARROLL
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, March 25.-UPD.-
A heavy tax which Americans
here said threatened to ruin their
trade with France will soon be
imposed on exports from the Uni
ted States and other countries
to France, it was learned yester-
day.
The tax will be in accordance
with a provision in the March
budget, authorizing the govern
ment to place a tax on import
licenses.
The ministry Of commerce has
started negotiations with the
American Chamber Of Commerce,
which distributes import licenses
to American radio. exporters.
The ministry suggested that
the radio import licenses should
be taxed 10 to y francs per
kilogram. The average radio set,
it was said, Fights II Kilograms,
hence a tax totaling from 10 70
2O4 francs per set would be
levied in addition to the present
tariff of % per cent ad valorem,
and an import turnover tax Of 6
per cent.
The tax on radios is merely

Won tell such an untruth?" Death replied 81 told
YOU the exact truth. 1 killed 10000 and no more
fear killed the rest"
There is no way to check up OH it, but Judging
from experience one is justified i'll saying that in
the influenza epidemic of dozen CT so years ago
fear was more deadly foe than the disease. The
ratio NAV not have been two to one, but certainly
il was too much, and it may have been more than
two to one. 1t is always that way. Fear is mans
most dangerous enemy.
Far more than anything else, fear is responsible
for the worlds predicament at this time. If it
were not for blind, unreasoning fear, disarmament
could be secured in a comparatively few weeks,
unemployment would vanish like fog before the
sun and prosperity would have no more corners to
turn but would be right here. But nations fear
each other mel fear each other, and the deadlock
continues.
UnbeGevably us it may appear, there is not
word of news il the preceding statements. Every
intelligent man knows the truth of them. Yet the
nightmare of fear is permitted to ride the al
most as relentlessly it did in the days of saw
agery
Truly, it is monstrous situation, CHASTITY jest.
Man the GROWING work of time, is as much slave
to fear as the lowest animal. Why? Because he
lacks faith in himself, in his fellows and in the
divinity to which he may attain. Perfect love
and it must be learned some time mans greatest
troubles will be ended-Rochester IN. W Demo-
crat and Chronicle.

BACK TO SOIL
TREK POPULAR
Farm Reared Folk Weary
Of Idle Life

COLUMBIA, Mo. March o.
(UP).-City America is going
back home.
Which is to say that the farm
reared city folks, tired Of trying
to cope with unemployment, are
seeking TO live on the soil.
During 1882 the migration Of
city jewellers to farms exceeded
the population flow in the other
direction by an estimated 207,-
coo.
The department Of rural socio.-
ogy at the Missouri college OF
agriculture is concerned with
this, as are most agricultural
agencies.
Major farm adjustments mean
an increasingly heavy problem
for those who try to smooth out
the farmers way.
The shift in population vitality
affects two great groups:
The city dwellers, alarmed at
the heavy load of emergency re-
lief, who are glad to escape part
of their burden.
The rural interest, concerned
with its OWE rural problem and
wary Of having the numbers Of
its destitute unemployed incrcas-
ed by migration from the cities.
Too many Of the migrators
lack sufficient money to pur-
chase land. Rented land has q
tendency to dctcriorate under
tenant management.
Many Of the new farmers even
lack money sufficient to care for
the needs Of their families while
for the first crop.
Failure looms for those city
dwellers who. unfamiliar with
the manner of life on the farm
and without capacity to adjust |
readily to the new environment,
attempt TO make the change.

RyssIA's WAY AND OUR OWN
(By BRUCE CATION

One of the most interesting bits of news
from Russia this spring is the announce
ment that the government is prepared to
get very hardboiled toward workers who
fail to work as hard as the government
thinks they ought.
Recent legislation makes it possible for
the government to deprive a workman and
his family of a job, food and his house for
a single days unjustifed absence from
work.
Lenin himself urged that the dictator
ship of the proletariat must not hesitate to
use force against the proletariat Itself
when the occasion requires it. The work
ing class in Russia, as class, is exalted as
never before in history; but the worker as
an individual has perhaps less real free
dom than any other worker in Europe or
America.
And this odd contradiction emphasizes
once more the strange and fascinating cor
trast between the things that are being at
. tempted in Russia and the things that are
being tried in America.
In each country, at this moment, the
greater part of the thought and energy OF
the people is being devoted to an effort to
fix things so that mankind's new produc-
tiveness can be used so as to provide the
ordinary man with a better, happier life
That is the avowed purpose of the Com
munist experiment; it is, fundamentally
what is back of our own attempt to end
this depression and make a new one i'm
possible.
Basically, then, We are seeking the same
goal. But how differently we are going
at~it!
Iron discipline, rigid regime in which
the Individual counts for nothing and free,
dom is a discarded word-these character.

To us they look like prices that are toe

We want the same things the Russians
want, but we intend to get them in oui

him if they are to mean anything.

The vote was 70 to 3d. sufficiently large to indi-
cate that this feared measure may terminate IA

this overwhelming refusal on the part of the House
to concur in this amendment now puts it to rest

No truer words were ever spoken than these

Georgia: ''No country lasts long without a

church, they maintain the sacredness of the family
tie; they supply the reverence for eternal prnci-
pies not to be found in congested communities.
They think for themselves and no temporary fad
sweeps them from the lasting paths of ruth. From
them, comes the strong fresh blood that dominates
and enrches commerce, industry and the profess
sons-Donley County Leader, Clarendon, Texas.

BARRELS OF FUN?

There is no reason today for drys to agree with
the ancient wet contention that Americas good
spirits must be aqueous. But in all fairness there
should be greater recognition of the mirth provok-
ing qualities of beer. Not as a drink. The sad
soddenness of old soaks is proverbal. But as Il
producer of legislative antics and of ridiculously
august augmentation, beer is definitely adding to
the gayety of nations.
For instance barrels of amusement froth forth
from the berry battle between Senate and House
over whether the alcoholic content of the beverage
with which Congress seeks to bless the country
should be 80 per cent or 3.05. The joke here is
that jolly lawmakers in the Senate apparently ex-
pected the Supreme Court to accept ffteen-hun-
dredths of 1 per cent as the difference between
an Intoxicating and Misunderstanding brew.
Will Rogers has already figured out that with
somewhere near per cent alcohol tipplers can
calculate on thirty-three and third drinks for a
complete 100 per cent drunk. Congress should be
careful not to upset his calculations. But of course
officially and constitutionally this congressional
beer could not produce drunkenness. Only bleary
biliousness, perhaps?
This perennial problem of how to put kick into
intoxicating beer should prove engaging for ali
those who find entertainment in puzzles This is
almost as tough nut determining how the
place where beer is sold can avoid being saloon.
Drys at least must get some fun out of watching
the vets attempt the cracking.
Then there is the conundrum, Is drunken
driver drunk if he got that way on legal and mon
Intoxicating" beverages? American motorists
should get a good chucke out of that one. At
least until they meet the drunken driver
Another pertinent puzzle is, Why should the
Senate seek to deprive youth of the benefits of
beer? If adults cannot get along without the pc
culiar benson of beer, why deny such boon to
minors? Isn't that particularly unfair kind OF
prohibition? What will babies do without this
food?
And then there is the matter of patriotism. AT
a foregathering of beer boosters the other day,
Mr. C. D. Williams, secretary of the United States
Brewers Association, made clear the duty of 100
per cent Americans. He said:
eve can all have the comforting reflection that
every time drink beer are performing pa
triotic act and in every glass there is step for
ward toward prosperity
Apparently the poor fellow who afford only
a dozen steps day will be frowned upon a
Stacker. And what of the unhappy man who cares
not for hope? Or the misguided Individual who has
been told by the National Grange that drinking
milk is the best way to help the farmer? On the
basis they must be veritable traitors.
It's all very topsy-turvy in this best Of beer
