"I got mad, and had to fight some

"All over now? If you're a good

"All right, Johnnie. I haven't seen

Why don't you come around more?"

Mazda gazed at him with interest
She had the ordinary healthy per-
sons dislike of hospitals, and years
of acquaintance with Johnnie Casey
precluded taking him very seriously,
vet she could not fail to note, be-
meath the f1ippancy of his reply, the
real earnestness of feeling.
Il wish I had a job that meant
something to me-" she told him visit
fully. Il wish I had any kind of a
Job, but It would be great to work
at something that really interested
me-
Aren't you going back to the uni
versity?"
MAZDA shook her head, and said
briefly: mo, that's over"
This is tough time to be look
ing for a job, you know" said john

voice aroused her.

working. that leaves me free. See?"
But what would people say?
Wouldn't it look queer?"
"Oh, well, call 1t whim. 1t Is
| quite the thing for society girls to
work. Say she has gone serious
minded since Dads death. And that's
true enough" he added bitterly.
Mazda, furious and ashamed, ran
into her room. She felt an impera-
tive need for physical activity. It
seemed that the wave Of anger which
threatened to choke her would liter
ally poison her unless she could work
of its virulence. A fieecy snow had
been falling all morning, covering
the ground to q depth of several
inches. Mazda grabbed a heavy
sweater and tam, found snow shovel
and set forth to clear the walks. The
battle with the snow might serve to
calm her feelings and relieve the al
most insupportable tension Of her
nerves. At first she attacked the
snow with feverish energy, too irate
for connected thought, but gradually
the rhythmic scraping and tossing
soothed her.
Stanley and his mother had at
tempted to put her in her place as
an inexperienced. romantic girl. but
every sturdy instinct within her re-
volted from the course they we're
planning to pursue. Why, it was
worse for Stanley than it would have
been for her, this marrying for a
living. Suppose it were not wicked
and degrading, suppose she were
little Puritan to think so, it was still
silly. 1t was wild gamble, the fail
ure of which would mean that the
family would be left without resources,
and Stanley's character probably
ruined. Mazda was under no illu-
sions as to what would happen to
STAINS moral fiber II he lived the
life of a prof1igate wastrel for six
months or a year, without the steady
ing influences of his father behind

him. Perhaps, if she reasoned with
her, her mother might come to her
senses, thought Mazda, but she did
not place much hope in that. AL
ways lured by the glamour of Gran
burg's wealthy set, Mrs. Connell
would be thrilled at the thought of
scheming to put Stanley in society,
the dream of having him marry a
Junior Lacquer.
1t was these considerations. Mazda
felt sure, more than the cold-blooded
acquisition of a fortune. that ap-
pealed to her mother Mrs. Connell,
sheltered and pampered for years,
had no real conception of money.
No doubt she thought vaguely that
the sum at their command would
last indefinitely and that more would
be forthcoming when needed, as it
always had been.
MAZDA stopped and leaned on her
shovel. The snow was now piled
neatly on either side of the front
walk, and the sidewalk to the back
door was nearly clear. Although
forced to admit to herself that there
was little chance of influencing her
mother and Stanley, it was hard to
feel hopeless while breathing deeply
of the frosty Winter air and survey
ing the results of her laborS. One
thing she was determined upon: She
would get job as soon as possible,
so that she might be self-Supporting
and in a position to help her mother
If the crash came. Possibly she would
shame Stanley into acting the part
of a man.
Mazda was shocked out Of her
reverie by the impact of a cold, wet
snow ball, which began to melt as it
touched her warm skin, and to drib-
BILE down her neck.
Johnnie Casey, you devil!' she ex-
claimed. and digging her shovel into
the mound beside her, she wheeled
swiftly and baptized the culprit be-
fore he could get out of reach.
Hey, lay off me, you roughneck!"

on me. my girl. You'll find I'll have
my pick of half dozen"
I'm sure don't see why you
shouldn't. Stanley" put in Mrs Con-
nell. ANY girl ought to be proud
to get you"
Stanley. you couldn't do such a
contemplate thing as to marry a girl
for her money!" spluttered MAZDA.
why, certainly not. I'll marry
for love, but I'll be careful to love
the right girl. What's wrong in
that?"
you are childish, Mazda" said
Mrs. Connell, sweetly. In France,
where marriages are more generally
successful than they are here, they
are accustomed to looking into finan-
cial matters and other practical con-
siderations before a marriage is ar
ranged. Suppose some wealthy girl.
perhaps a new rich family, perhaps
just a girl who is not success with
men, decides to acquire a husband
like Stanley-young, handsome, popu-
lar of good family-I should say she
was getting an extremely good bar
gain at the cost of a little help to
her in-laws. Don't look so Mortified;
nothing, of course, would be said
about that, but she could not fail to
wish to do something for her hus-
bands family"
You bet she couldn't Nom. I'll
see to that"
Mazda stared at her mother and
brother as If they were strangers,
then she said, tonelessly: II can't
answer your arguments. I have q
different kind of mind, guess. To
me, it seems low and vile for an able
bodied man to deliberately court and
marry rich girl, just to keep from
going to work. I'd rather starve. And
please don't wiring any dollars from
your prospective bride for my bene-
fit, for will not touch penny of
such earnings. I won't be such a
hypocrite as to stay here, either, while

or occupying a big government or In
dustrial position. Last and most
important consideration. during train
ing she would be required to live at
the hospital. Relations with her
mother and Stanley we're decidedly
strained. and it would be relief to
be out Of the house Moreover. she
knew it would be hard for her to
stay at home and watch the reckless
squandering Of their capital herself
helpless to prevent It.
What II she were to adopt john
nie's suggestion? Blood. bad smells,
cries of pain-the very thought made

and background couldn't hold down
a big executive job later on"
II can't very we'll like the idea until
you tell me what it is"
"Oh. nurses training. I thought
told you"
Il don't think much Of your idea.
I'm no good with sick people. I hate
the very smell Of hospital. and the
sight of blood makes me ILL.,"
Johnnie shouted with laughter.
That's what they all say. I
thought you had more originality"
Really, 1 hardly think I'd care to
be a nurse"
"Oh, no. I suppose you want to be
the manager OF something. or con-
fidential secretary to some big buSi-
ness man; something nice and re-
fined, with a salary of about $4,000
year. Come down to earth. Ex-
cuse me for being rough with you; l
didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Why don't you come out to the hos
pital and see Miss Burns? I really
think Cramburg General would be
a good place for you, and its train
ing school has an excellent standing
all over the country"
"You talk as If you were recon-
mending a school, said Mazda,
amused.
That's what it is. Of course Why
/ don't you try it, MAZDA? It's hard
work, but we get in little fun in
our off moments. I'd like to have
you out there. You might learn tC
appreciate me more, after seeing me
on the job"
You are the most important doc
tor there. I suppoSe?"
Not quite" admitted Johnnie,
The idea of going into training
which Mazda had at first rejected sc
decisively, appeared more feasible
after she had thought it over. Nc

SPRING MORN

I awoke one morning just to see
The flowery blooms Of the apple tree.
The merry songbird's all are free
When spring is here with you and me.
The merry flowers all are peeping,
Just out from their hiding place
sleeping
IT'S time again to shine so bright
Just beneath the suns bright light.
The buttercups Of yellow gold
Are spreading from their tender fold.
And violets with petals blue,
Seems to make the world anew.
Soon the children will leave their
school.

SUNOCO CO. MAKES
ONLY One GRADE
OF GASOLINE

"Why does the Sun Oil Company
have only one grade of gasoline ~
was the question put last week to the
Company's local branch manager, Mr..
Robert Weir, Jr., and most ably an
swered by him.
"You see," he explained, unlike
most gasoline refiners, we manufac-
ture only one grade of motor fuel be-
cause we feel that by putting all of
our eggs in one basket, we can better
serve both ourselves and local motor
lists.
obviously, when company manu-
features and markets two or three
grades of gasoline it materially in
creases it's overhead due to the fact
that this requires more equipment,
more tank trucks. more pumps and
generally multiplies cost.
"Instead of doing this, the Sun Oil
Company devotes all of it's time to
making only one high grade motor
fuel, Blue Sunoco. We have no sec
ond or third grade gasolines, even for
sale under other names to other dis
tributing agencies. Such great saw
ings are affected by this policy that
we are able to sell our first grade
Blue Sunoco at regular gas prices in
stead of at premium.
"Of course, we lose little business
to motorists who buy only the cheap
est grade gasolines, but we more than
make up for this through the large
number of customers who prefer buy
ing high powered and knockless Blue
Sunoco at regular gas price,

TO MAY

~ vi
It's great to be in the country
Now that May is there,
With violets blooming at her feet
And lilacs in her hair.
To watch her wave a magic want
Der fields, and woods, and hills,
Unfolding tulips, jonquils, shrubs
Dogwood and daffodils.
It's great to be in the country,
Now that May is there.
To catch the sunlight of her way
Without a thought Of care,
To be a happy child again
Though fifty years and more
Catherine flowers here and there
Ere May shall close her door.

which, Koski performed his act. Koski also dropped Jensen's fly to right, but no material damage was done.
 That was the last Moose at tempt, and in the next inning the Bills went home with the ball game
 The Moose fielding in the fifth inning was of first order as they stopped the Elks cold. Jernberg had singled, and Garn cracked a grounder to Coughlin. It looked like hit, but Mark Jensen had deflected it to Bobby who shared Je-nberg and threw Garn out at first. After Erskine had doubled cooperation between the pitcher, second baseman and third caught Claud between the bags.
 Tom Haines was out there catch ing for the Moose. Tom had play ed a few games earlier in the sea- son for the Elks, but now looks like a valuable asset to the cellar holders.

MOOSE BLOW UP IN SIxTH;ELKS
 WIN EASILY, 6-2
Erskine Hurls Fine Ball, but Moose Errors Cost Them
 Chance 10 Win Game

In a sixth inning rally made pos- sible by erro1s, the Elks yesterdy downed the Moose to 2, on bad baseball mixed with a series of hits. Big Mac started for the Elks in that inning by waiting out four balls, and adanvanced to second on Jim Ornies single to left
 This was enough for Mark Jen- sen, Moose pitcher, who retired from the game and turned the worry over to Jimmy Manning. A missed third strike and successive miscues by Coughlin and M. Mac Spadden tossed the game into the discard.
 Miss Three Chances
 Manning's first efforts were to whiff Manager Koski of the Bills, but the third strike was such a steamer that Tom Haines allowed it to go by long enough for both Big Mac and Orme to advance one base each. Buss Orme then rolled a grounder to Coughlin at second, but Bobby made bad tumble, with the result that one run scored and Crme was safe at first. Following which Molly Mac Spadden allowed Blake's hopper to go through him, and two more runs scored. Although Kelly was thrown out at second, the spree went on and two more singles mixed with a wild pitch brought in the last of the Elk runs.
 The game was a duel between Erskine and Jensen, with the for nler holding the advantage. Only brilliant fielding by his support CTS kept Jensen from having sev- elal runs scored off his deliveries Vine A.oose ms were few.

 The Moose didn't have much of a chance to make any headway until the fifth inning. In that frame, Koski made the unique rec ord of three errors in one inning, and aided in letting the Moose score their two runs to tie the score. Molly MacSpadden singled to right, but reached second when Koski let the ball through him. Sternig drove a grounder to Liv- ingston, who made fine stop, but by the time "Curley" had decided to throw the ball, it was too late to stop Sternig at first.
