CHAPTER VI
Cmthia's Family.

Iylttltld Z dlillly
That Sunday fingered In Geofrs
memory for many long day.
If I hadn't gone slidfng-and I
didn't slide, because the snow was too
weti-would Cynthia not have got
sick?" Tenny demanded, her small
face white with anxiety.
Geofr took her on his lap and gave
her detailed explanation.
Cynthia caught cold yesterday
hunting you--that's true he said. "But
Doctor Brigham says 1t wouldn't have
hurt her II she hadn't been 80 tired
from working In the shop. You
weren't to blame, Tenny. The thing
we've got to do Is to keep this house
running till Cynthia Is we'll again"
who's going to plan the meals7"
Tenny was practical child.
"Meals7 Why, Miss Mona, of course.
Good heavens, you don't. mean"
"Cynthia always plans EN-. And
she gives Marguerite just enough
money to pay for the days supplies
because IL you buy things In quantity
for colored person they waste EN-"
Geoff could detect all too clearly Gym
thIa's pronouncement In this echo.
His fears proved to be we'll ground
ed. Marguerite appeared soon after
dinner, notebook and pencil In hand.
Miss Mona say you gwine run the
house, Mist Geoff,' she remarked.
Miss Cynthia she plan Monday meals
fob 90 off on Sunday Afternoon"
"Good lordr Geofr recolled from
the task presented to him. Cant Miss
Mona look after that part OF it?'
Marguerite shook her head dole
fully. Miss Cynthia say not. Veal

Mona housekeep.'
AWell, you do 1t then"
Miss Cynthia say I aln't got no
sense a-tall bout ordering"
"Well'-Geoff took a turn up and
down the dining room, hands In his
trousers pockets-"I'll tell you'll" he
suggested brightly. Have just the
same tomorrow that you did today,
and let me see the bills. Thatll give
me little idea OF what things cost"
Chicken today cause hits Sunday.
We-all don't have chicken on week
days"
"Oh, the DEVIL" Geofr glared at
Marguerite and she looked back at
him, highly diverted.
''Very WE'LL" He drew a chair up
to the table, squared his elbows and
applied himself to the notebook. "Ill
name all the varieties of meat | ever
heard Of and you can advance objec-
lions, IL any, to them. Cutlets?n

He sighed. There were wheels with

AN dessert" he was reminded.
AN lunch. An stables"
''Stables7"
Yes, sir, histah Geofr. Flour an

kindly.
By the time his task was done and
Marguerite had departed with her
notebook, Geoff was thoroughly ex-
hausted. Moreover, he realized that

Geoff had 1t all down In neat rows

Economy became an obsession with
him. 1t would have been simple
enough, of course. to meet all
deficits out Of his own pocket: but
somehow Geofr's pride wouldn't al
low that. Cynthia made him prom
ise to pay the household expenses out
of her own money. Then. too, he told
himself that IL girl could handle this
problem and run a business besides,
surely he, whose mental powers were
considered rather exceptional In his
, own profession, ought to be able to
do 1t also.
He glanced again at his budget and
noticed that Cary was paying no

bury wasn't forklnx over like the rest

of this evil growth spreads in
many directions.
Cummings hinted on the or
ganization of some form of ma
tional police force. He said the
problem involved the development
of a system suitable to the Amer
lean requirements. While there
are constitutional limitations, he
thought the problem might be
met without doing violence to the
Constitution or American tradi
tions.
Demands Diligence
He said:
"The warfare which an
armed underworld is waging
upon organized society has
reached disturbing proportions.
The prevalence Of predatory
crime, including kidnapping md
racketeering, demands the ut
most diligence upon the .>art
of our law enforcing agencies,
support by an informed and
aroused public sentiment"

Mere Than 35 Cities Ahead
of Capital in Per Capita
TabuIati0n.

washington uses less milk per capita
than any one Of more than 35 cities
N various sections of the country, fig
ures released by the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration revealed today.
Making it plain the figures were based
purely on reports submitted by city
health departments and, therefore, were
not vouched for by the administration,
officials said the survey, although Ma
uon-wide, did not cover all sections
Of the country.
Washington, according to the taDula.
tion used an average Of 1,150 pints OF
milk and cream q day In 1882. This
hgure, it was said,. represents 1874 pints
of cream and 956 pints Of milk.
+ Compilation of the various health
department figures was In progress at
the administration today and complete
tabulations were not available. Among
the more than 35 cities with greater per
capita milk consumption than Wash
ington, as shown In the incomplete
tabulation, are:
Alexandra. Va, 1,4es pints.
Concord, N. H., 2701; Burlington,
VT, 2.058; Hartford, Conn, 2.027; Fair
field, Conn, 2.052; Boston. 1901; Coun-
1858; Cleveland, 1883. and Atlanta,
1261.
Many of the cities included in the
tabulation, 1t was pointed out, are con-
siderably smaller than the Capital

Three years ago Mr.. Hoover started
economizing in Government by order
ing abandonment of useless Army posts
Chief of Staff Macarthur listed 81
forts on which money could be saved
Thirteen were occupied by troops. They
were to be abandoned The rest were
to be sold or transferred.
Today only fine haUe been ab1n-

tailed Uds that localities near the
