 once there was boy who was ever so strange. He never flattened hfs nose against a plate glass window to gaze at catching gloves, or masks, or ash shaped into nice smooth bats. He wasn't jealous of his cousin who had a new hockey stick. He didn't get excited when two fellows began to pummel each other and roll in the gutter.
 Naturally he had to enjoy his own company more or less be- cause all the others liked the same things and couldn't understand a boy who wasn't more or less roughneck.
 He liked books and movies and fishing, or anything one could do alone or with another quite fellow like himself. Oh yes, he was vary, very strange.
 He had just about million brothers-under the skin-but he didn't know it. Neither did his parents. And neither did the par ents of those other ''odd" young sterS.
 Outgrows Strangeness
 Tn time he grew up. So did the rest. And To and behold, few of them are strange any more. There is Richard Jones, head of the test ing-labratory at the Institute. and Mark Smith, slated for judgeship. There's Fred and Art and Samuel and William all get ting their pictures in the paper for something or other most of the time.
 fighters in the world of wits and science and law, with the courage of their convictions and their ''morai' courage to persevere- these strange ones who wouldn't use their fists or shinny up tele- phone poles to watch baseball or football game. These lonely ones that some people called sis sies.
 Yes, in way they~were retreat ing from life during boyhood. Not from life exactly, but from life as they found it around them. Why do we think boy isn't man un- less he likes to whoop and punch and do cartwheels and swat ball?
 Shyness Has Many Causes
 Some boys develop a sort of anti-social attitude Cor just letaus call 1t shyness) when babies. They see into be born with an inability to face the sandpaper of life.
 Others get it by criticism and ridicule when little. Still others are rendered sensitive by over soft existence. They are coddled, protected, treated like fine china and never learn what roughage means. And they are keut apart, alone too long.
 "They might get something" ," "They might learn something" 'They might get hurt" They must be "good" boys.
 Then suddenly someone expects, everyone expects, these Dresden china boys to develop biceps and calves and pugnacity over night. They expect the small hermit to go out and lick all the Max Baers and Babe Ruths and Johnny Weissmullers.
 First we unfit them and then we expect them to right our mis takes.
 Inherited" shyness is one ones fault, but certainly not the boys. It is a mistake, too to try to force any small child toward a courage he does not feel. "Roughage" is actually most successful if, ap- lied in veyr small and rather gentle .doses by people he likes, at first. It will gather its own momentum.

CHAPTER XVI

Michael Heatheroe went down into the paddock. Prince Charlie was sadled. Michael had on his gray tweeds-the suit he had worn the night Katharine had seen him at Mrs. Merser's house. He patted Prince Charlie and led him into the stable where the other horses neighed in recognition. Fury, in paved the straw under her feet. But Michael disappointed the nerv- ous little horse by giving no sign of noticing. Usually he spent a good deal of time with the animals after dinner. Fury rolled her eyes so that only the whites were visible, if you stood at the stable door. But Michael paid no attention to her -only gave Prince Charlie a lump of sugar, said word or two to Tips, who was reading a week. old comic section, and was on his way.
 Michael without one of his steeds was like king without his king dom. The little, shabby, rattling car was an incongruous vehicle for the talL rangy young man with the western tan on his brow and cheeks. He climbed into it, threw it into gear and began to slide down the incline away from the shabby farmhouse. He could see Tips fathers dark, scanned face, smiling vacantly at the kitchen window. The old man was washing dishes.
 This was twilight. Not the Mon- tana twilight Michael knew and loved, with its sudden drop from full day to dusk, it's almost daz- zling, crystalline coolness, but an eastern twilight, warm and heavy and languid. The day had been extremely hot. Michael drove out of the lane and down the road toward the village.
 On the porch of the Merser house two small girls d ressed in sleeveless thin frocks were hav- ing their supper. They both waved wildly to Michael as he passed, and he waved back, Sybil and Diana adored him already. They had had three riding les- sons.
 Nice kids. Good kids. Their mother was a nice woman, too, with fine eyes. If Michael could get a few more clients like them, the club would be on its feet.
 He frowned. The mortgage on the place, the old Rogers place that he had bought so confidently last year, would fall due in Sep tember. He hadn't realized the taxes would be so high. Hadn't known about that special assess ment, either. He gritted his teeth, remembering the figures as he had gone over them last night. He had pared expenses to the bone-yet the place wasn't pay ing. All his savings had gone into the purchase of the club. He sim ply had to make it go.
 The bank held the mortgage. Innicock Trust & National. Michael was going down tonight to see about it. See if he couldn't get a renewal.
 
 He went through the shabby portion of the village that lay just west of the railroad tracks.

GINGER SEASONING

Ginger in fruit cocktails, as sauce over ice cream and in- deed, frozen into the ice cream itself, has become a fad of smart hostesses this year. The touch of heat adds piquant note to what otherwise is a monotony of sweet ness.

You see, Father was delayed. That is--oh, I'm getting this all mixed up. He did come home, about 5 But he had to rush right off again and l told him you wanted to see him and he said to- morrow would do just as well. ,. .'
 ""Then he's not leaving right away" Michael asked, relief ob- vious in his voice.
 "Listen to the man! Of course, he isn't. That's what I've been trying to tell you! And tried to get you on the telephone all eve ming but no one answered {. :"
 Funny. I've been there-or someone has all the time" :" Michael said, with his ingenious, masculine air of sticking to the facts.
 Well, anyhow, you're here now, and what do we do about it?" Sally demanded brightly. I'm terribly sorry, but it wasn't my fault, mad Father is probably right-he says I'd never make a business woman. What do you think?" she demanded ingenu- ously.
 She was all scent and color and femininity in her delicate frock of pale pink lace. It was de- murely cut-a dinner frock-and Sally's charms were naively dis played in 1t.
 "I think he's probably right Michael said soberly.
 Then they both broke into a great shout of laughter. The sober-faced maid, picking up scat tered newspapers in the study just beyond the porch windows, strengthened with grim smile.
 'So she has new one," this woman murmured to herself.
 Look, here's the thing" Sally went on after a moment, as if to herself. Would you be an angel and take me down to the Blue Sky Club tonight?. Lenny Raikes that's the boy who was coming over from Scarsdale-well, he has an impacted tooth or something and can't come. And I have Fathers card and was just dying to go :"
 Michael looked down at his tweeds and back to her. His smile was a little wry. He lifted his shoulders in the ghost of a shrug. "Oh, don't be donkey! It's the kind of place where you don't have to dress if you don't want to. Look, they're having a beauty contest or something later on to- night. That Cissy Malotte-you know who she isis to be there. I'm dying to see her."
 Not the kind of place for a kid like you"
 "Oh, Michael, don't be so stuffy!" She made him feel like a maiden saunt. "If Father belongs to the darned thing guess I rate it. Besides, you'n take good care of me. won't your" Her smile was provocative. Michael wanted, for an instant, to shake her. But she was friendly, he told himself. Like cuddlesome little kitten, al- most. Not all the people around here were really friendly.
 Besides, I can sign checks" !" Sally rattled on. as if with pure artlessness. Don't think I'm Dragging you into a gyp joint. Specially when you told me about your mortgage and all. Why, Michael. think you're perfectly wonderful"
 She had her hand on his arm. She was all gentleness and wln- ming sweetness. Yet Michael hesi- tated. (TO l3c Contlnuefil

ST. LOUIS, March 15.-Another
chapter in the litigation involving
the Dubbs oil-cracking process was
written with the filing here OF an
order by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals directing Holmes
Hall, former Sedalia lawyer, to re-
store S44,7O0 of a 100000 fee he re-
ceived as special master in the case
q decade ago. Hall now lives in
Richmond, Va.
Hall was appointed in 1921 by
Judge Arba S. Van Valkenburgh in
the action of the Universal Oil
Products Co. against the Standard
Oil Co. of Indiana, and apparently
based his fee on charge OF Sl0O
o day for 999 days.
Halls attempt to collect an addi-
tional sum led to the court order,
which was accompanied by a sharp
rebuke. He was directed not only to
repay part of his original fee, but
to pay interest at per cent from
October 18, 1924.
Lawsuits in which Carbon Pc
troleum Dubbs sought to recover on
an l-cracking process invented by
his father have attracted wide at

Dartmouth's reputation-which in the
last analysis is damage to every under

Preserve Natural Resources

Tn considering the huge expenditures proposed by the Roosevelt administration, it is necessary to distinguish between those which are aimed directly at the cur rent depression and those which would be advisable even if the depression should end tomorrow morning. The vast public works and work-relief schemes, of course, fall in the first class. They are emergency measures, pure and simple.
 However, useful some of their tangible fruits may be, they are designed chiefly to stimulate tagging industry and to give jobs to men who won't get jobs otherwise. But the long-range program for conserva tion and development of our national re- sources is something else again. For the most part it has no relation to the depres- sion. The president envsages it as con- tinuing thing which should be carried on over 20-year period, with ultimate ex- penditures at the rate of $500,000,000 year.
 A program of this kind requires us to visualize the whole country as unified social organism - a society which must pay as whole for loss or waste suffered in any of it's parts, and which eventually will benefit as whole through prevention of any such loss or waste. We must as President Roosevelt says, take notice of the losses that unrestrained exploitation has caused - "Of the cutting of our last stands of virgin timber; of the increasing floods; of the washing away of millions of acres of our top soils; of the lowering of our watering tables; of the dangers of one-crop farming; of the depletion of our minerals = in short, the evils that we have brought upon ourselves today and the even greater evils that will attend our children unless we act"
 All this ought to be reminder that we owe very large part of our commercial and industrial greatness to the fact that we built up our society in the midst of natural resouces of unparalleled richness. We had everything a land could desire - tremendous forests, enormous deposits of mineral wealth, millions of acres of fertile soil We have built upon that foundation.
 It ought to be obvious that if we dissi- pate those resources-if we heedlessly de- stroy the last of our forests, delve for minerals wastefully, and permit our farm lands to deteriorate - we are simply knocking out the foundation on which the whole structure rests. After we have done whatever is possible to beat the de- pression, we shall still be under the neces- sity of preserving this foundation. If we fail, we shall eventually enter depres- sion from which there can be no full recovery.

A Second State Authority

The second river valley authority sug- gested for this state has just come from Congressman at-Large William M. Citron of Middletown. He proposes that the federal government create the Connecti- cut Valley Authority, modelled, of course, along the lines of that now operating in the Tennesse river valley. One has already been proposed for the Housatonic river valley. The latter has also been proposed and rejected as a national park area.
 Over year ago the Democrat suggested that union be created to develop the Connecticut river valley along lines that would provide flor recreation, power plants, flood control, but above all, pollu- tion elimination. In fact, it was in con- nection with the latter feature that we urged an organization to be composed of representatives of every community along the river from the Sound to it's farthest reach up in northern New Hampshire and Vermont. Our idea was solely to end for all time pollution of one of the great streams of northeastern United States.
 As a navigable body the Connecticut river will probably never rank in the same category as does the Hudson. We have no pretensions along this line But there are certain features which demand the attention of the proper governmental agencies. They are it's possibilities as a source of electric power and water supply. For the latter it is vital that pollution be corrected This is long and tedious process, but one that has to be started promptly and efficiently to procure the results. We urge Connecticut to interest herself in Representative Citron's pro- posal and to encourage similar attitude fin the remaining New England states through which the river flows.

to the state, but have not had the hardi- hood to upset the chosen order of state and local management. Has it ever Oc- cured to any of our legislators that every time new tax bill is presented to legis- lative body it makes good cross-section of their constituents see red?
 That's good thing to keep in mind the next time tax measure comes up. While we admit the need of taxes, we do not think that this is the day and age in which new taxes should be wished upon us, un- less perchance we get rid of good share of those that now bind us down to the grindstone. The United States is going to find itself plunged right into merry little tax revolution one of these days. Maybe we're not as bad as some countries, but then we have a reputation to live up to. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Taxation does not go hand in hand with that creed.
 True it is difficult thing for a. legis- lator to approve of vast projects, running into millions of dollars, in one breath and in the next urge downward taxes. The two don't seem to go hand in hand, do they? Not if you are tax conscious, they don't. And yet it would be possible for many of these vital institutional needs of ours to become realities without imposing tremendous tax burdens on the people of today and those of the coming generation. Governor Cross has the right idea in urg ing governmental reforms to eliminate duplication. It isn't as hard job to do as so many think. The main thing is just to decide on getting rid of some taxes and not to add others.
