DANGEROUS BACKFIRE

The N. R. A. program is daring
and brilliant experiment. Further
more, it is the LAW, and all good cit
liens will support it in every way
possible. However, there may be a
great temptation in some trades and
industries to try to take selfish adj
vantage of the opportunities pre-
scented.
One of the smaller but very impor-
tant industries that has submitted a
code for approval is that of the pub
fishers of school textbooks. We have
just read this code, and we see several
imprints of what looks like the cloven
hoof.
1t appears that the schoolbook pub
fishers have had two main aims in
formulating this code: first, to get
the right to raise prices, even where
books are already under state contract
for a period of years at stipulated
price; perhaps all the publishers are
united on this; second, it appears on
reading this code that one group, or
several groups, of these publishers
may be trying to put something over
on another group or groups.
Certainly the public schools do not
stand to profit from either of the
above detectives. We can see no
present justification for publishers
wanting to raise prices when they
have entered into a sworn contract
with a state, and certainly such state
and all the citizens thereof should
raise a mighty protest if this is at
tempted, or even if it is formulated
in a code. The states entered into
these contracts with the publishers in
good faith, and, as in all such con-
tracts, both parties take a gamble as
to falling prices or as to rising prices
in the future.

of it-a kind way with him.
But he wasn't of her world,
she told herself. She was

She rose, and as she did so,

a proprietary air. She was
quite lovely, and Tony O'Brien

impressed and touched by the
fragile beauty of this girl.

Signs Of Insanity

When DR.. Percy Hickling re-
tired from his task Of District
alienist he left behind a null
tiplicity of stories of the humor
that found its way into the
usually tragic scenes Of city
lunacy court.
They tell of him that he had
just testified to the court that
marked lack of memory was
often indicative of mental dis
order.
He returned to the counsel
table and began an increas-
ingly frantic search. At last
it was learned he was looking
for his glasses.
They reposed on his fore
head.
On another occasion, some
time back, DR.. Hickling was
discussing senility and point
ing out that a senile man or
woman often was injured when
crossing streets or in falls that
normal people would escape.
The defendant who was be-
ing tried suddenly jumped to
his feet and cried:
isn't it true, DIR. HickIing,
that you recently were injured
when you fell down an eIeva-
tor Shaft?"
It was.

lady who was with him.
Tonight Nollie was beautiful.
And it wasn't due alone to
the nimble fingers of the oper-
ators who had worked over hair
and finger nails and complexion.
Nor to the exquisite blue gown
and wrap that had been be-
queathed her by one Mrs. Jud.
son.
Glamour
These things helped, Of
course. But tonight Nollie, with
this wonderful companion and
in this magic environmc ut,
bloomed with an inner radiance
that outshone any cosmetic.
Under the shadowing that the
beauty shop assistants had put
there her eyes shown like stars
looked, as Tony thought and
finally told her (being IrisO
"like bluebellS under water, or,

But he didn't catch the last
few words. People were talking
noisily in the house. There was
a loud buzz of voices, and an
orchestra had begun playing.
He was looking at Nollie'S
lips, it is true. He was thinking
how pretty they were. how
what was the word?-"deWy"?
But he didn't hear what she
was trying to explain to him.
Sweet she was! The blue OF
her eyes was like the blue OF

He was impreSsionable, and
he loved beauty, did young
Tony O'Brien.
They got out to the lobby.
'I didn't catch your name?
said Nollie shyly.
Its Irish, like myself. Every
one calls me Tony, but-the
saints preserve me!-my real
name is Patrick Joseph
O'Brien."
He rolled his "r's" comically
as he said this, and his fine eyes
too. They we're very handsome,
come-hitherish sort Of eyes.

Fearful folk may tremble on
Friday the thirteenth, but for
Basil Mobley, of Derwood, the
jinx walks ahead Of schedule.
A year ago on october IL, Ba-
sils prize bull cornered him and
did not cease goring him until
he had made thorough job Of
breaking one of Mobley's legs.
This year, almost on sched-
ule, on october IL, Basil taxed
the same leg beyond endurance
and it broke again.
That accident apparently
completed the work of the jinx
around the Mobley household

her diSdain for superstition,

went off without a mishap.
