If women would take time to let
mechanics ride with them for sug-
gestions on the care Of the car be-
lieve q lot of unnecessary repair work
could be prevented. Riding with q
woman customer the other day a me-
chanic noticed that she held her foot
against the clutch pedal wherever &C
celebrating in second gear. She did
not know that this slips the clutch
and that this sort Of slippage is par
ticularly serious because the engine
exerts so much power in second. She
is coming back to the shop for regu-
lar servicing Of the car, but the advice
is going to forestal clutch repairs.
A woman does not have to be me-
chanically inclined to prove to her
own satisfaction that the engine of
her car needs cooler type spark plugs.
Often it Is not necessary to remove
the plugs to see If the points are
burned, and the insulator cracked.
If there are streaks of SCOT on the
outside of each plug this is evidence
Of preignition and means that new,
cooler plugs are needed.
Because a gayly painted car does
not show the dust milady has to be
all the more careful not to soil her
clothes when brushing against fen
der or leaning over to open the rumble
seat or the luggage compartment.
When cleaning q car that Is done in
a light hue don't spoil q good channels

Brookland Group Hopes,
However, There Will Be
No Exceptions.

The Brookland Citizens Association
last night indorsed the statement Of
policy issued by the District Com
missioners and the Alcoholic Bever.
age Control Board to prohibit grant,
ing of liquor licenses for places
within 400 feet Of school grounds.
The resolution was introduced by
Mrs. Ralph Hogan at the regular
meeting in the Brookland M. z.
Church, Fourteenth and Lawrence
streets northeast
1t was pointed out by members,
however, the board stated exceptions
may be made In cases where the sp-
plicant was able to satisfy the board
that special conditions made the
granting of such licenses permissible.
Hope was expressed that there would
be no exceptions in the Brookland
area.
The citizens listened TO q short ad-
dress by Miss Marie o. Turner, pr1n-
cipal of Brookland Public School, who
urged that the association continue
trying to get an addition to this
school Miss Turner said the school
0O1lOlng Is OUT OF OaJe.
The association has been seeking
an appropriation TO build a l2-roon1
addition, including an auditorium, to
relieve oyercrowded conditions at the
school.
Upon recommendation by President
Marvin Mclean Of the association, a
resolution was passed urging construc-
ton of a cement sidewalk to replace
the old brick one on the east side OF
Twelfth street northeast, between
Otis and Perry streets.
The street car service on North
Capital street was again condemned

TEN, 1t was pointed out, about half

STATE OWNERSHIP
I. Of LAND IS URGED
Brookhart Decries Private
Holdings, Speculation and
City "Horrors."
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 17.-Forner
Senator Smith w. Brookhart said last
night the greatest mistake" in the
craftsmanship Of the United States
was when the Government decided to
part with the title to our land and turn
the system over to the spectators and
the railroads"
Addressing the new School for So
cial Research, Brookhart commented
on the horrors Of our skyscraper civil
ization."
He added that the Government "1s
Just now starting upon this prin-
ciple"-the policy of bringing the fac
tories near TO the farms.
Discussing the Soviet experiment
with land, Brookhart, working with
the A. A. A. to promote agricultural
trade with Russia. said:
"Since the (Soviet) government
holds title to the land, there can be no
land speculation. This removes one of
the greatest evils that has beset Amer
lean agriculture in all its history"
He said he could cite close parallel
to the Soviet land experiment in his
own State Of Iowa. He told of the
founding in l849 Of the Amana Colony,
organized "in a pure communism.
The colony. he related, acquired a.
900 acres of land, titled it, built fac
tories and remained free from the
cycles Of business, speculative infa-
tions and bankruptcy depressions.

"Stenographers do"
Judith thought quickly. IF only I

or an engineer as wanted to be-"
Norman she said, must choose

Judith waited for him to answer
her question. Must she choose be-
tween marrying him or going on with
her work? ella had said he had
comparatively little money, his father
having left what property they had to
Mrs. Dale.
She felt q rush Of bitterness as she
realized that her generous salary,
coming in as a professional fee. might
be acceptable where a stenographer's
salary would be taboo.
The trawler swished through the
water with gentle undulating mo-
tion, slow breeze hummed through

1t was a concession. Remembering
elias picture of their social position
in the city. it was tremendous con-
cesslon and 1t was given with such
gentle generosity, it swept away
Judith's arguments.
She felt she could afford to match
his generosity-"H you'll be patient

sponded gravely. Il don't mean to

the woman than the stenoerapher.
and given a home you'd be con-
tented"
Judith thought Of a number Of re-
plies. She smiled into the masculine
shoulder as vision Of ella Sanford
swept before her.
ella had very definite ideas about
woman's place and any platitude sug-
gesting she be confined to the home
sent her barbed tongue into action.
ella contended she knew all about
n1atrimony because she had a thor
cugh education, with a Reno divorce
decree as a diploma.
Heretofore Judith had approved of
elias wisdom, but, of course, she rea-
soned now, ella hadn't been married
to Norman, so-"I'll speak to Big Tom
in the morning" she said.
She did speak to Bevins the follow
ing morning as they had breakfast on
the after deck under an improvised
awning. He didn't seem surprised,
and when she commented on this he
laughed.

CHAPTER v.
JUDTTH'S CHOICE


UDITH thought Of this few
nights later. They had left
part Of their men to assist the
~ natives In rebuilding their
adobe houses, Others were car
rying fresh supplies in from the near
est Gulf port town, the county seat
Of Rio Mar.
Anxious to clear preliminsries and
hasten the building of the dams, Big
Tom had chartered a trawler and,
with Judith and Norman, was head
ing for Galveston, from where they
could motor to their homes in
Houston.
The two men were pacing the deck,
with after dinner cigars, while judith
watched the moon rise, then, turning
watched 1t lay shadow patterns on the
deck - angles, quadrangles. squares
and quadrilaterals.
She smiled w1imsically; any other
girl would have found poetic fancy In
the delicate tracery Of ships rigging
on slanting boards. 1t reminded her
Of her difference in other ways. She
wondered how this would affect her
future with Norman.
Marriage, she reasoned wasn't as
surance of lifelong happiness. Per-
haps. like the Rio Diablo, it needed
a dam to control its storm currents.
She might apply her engineering ex-
perience on hers, make topograph-
ical map of the characteristic DIFF
ferences between her disposition and
Norman's.
Big Tom would know to cubic
yard how much rock and cement it
would take to hold the food waters
in place. Perhaps she might learn
how much patience and forbearance
were necessary to check a quarrel.
Judith looked down and shuddered.
There In the webhke lines of shadows
lay perfect triangle cast by three
human beings. Black-barred and
silver trimmed, 1t defied her engineer
ing logic to admit three vertical fig
ures could cast such a shadow.
Gold, Judith?"
Before she could answer one bar
dissolved and the other two merged.
Big Tom had gone below and Norman
had stepped close.
What were you doing?" he asked.
She looked up with a sudden
smile" thinking"
Judy" he protested in mock hor-
ror, don't tell me you're one Of these
women who think"
"On Mondays and Fridays at o
pm" she assured him, solemnly.
And this is Friday. Mind telling
me your thought for tonight?"
II was just thinking that for me
to marry is like committing bigamy.
I've been welded to my job for so
long well, / started engineer
ing at the age of 6. Built a dam in
the kitchen sink 1t was a sue
cess, too, Norman, flooded the whole
Kitchen"
I'VE might find Reno which di-
vorces girls from careers, or I'll tell
you, fell in love with the perfect
stenographer. Suppose marry her" I"
Judith laughed. 'I wish we knew
each other better. I know you have
the finest set Of Scotch-American
features In the world. I like your
chin, even If it is stubborn, and your
warm brown eyes and your hair, even
if you do try to cut on the curl-"
"And you have the most amazing
eyes. I look at your dark hair and
lashes and expect to see black, hazel,
even dark blue eyes, and then up
come the lashes and those clear
gray"
Please be serious"
II am; when will you marry me?"
Most any time. I suppose We
should watt"
