sense in your old head" Mrs. Cam eron retorted. My dress wasn't even damp"
 "Yes'm," agreed Sarah pleasant- ly. At the door she shot back, "But 'twan't doin' you no good. You allus was might easy to take cold"
 A breeze, pirouetting through the window just then, brought 8 bit of last nights dampness. It caught Mrs. Cameron, sitting up in her nightgown without the light knitted shawl that Sarah generally placed about her shoulders when she had breakfast in bed. Mrs. Cameron promptly sneezed twice.
 Perhaps Sarah was right. Con- cerned about herself, Mrs. Gamer on forgot that Dana had not been home the evening before. She went to sleep again, believing Dana had been with Ronnie.
 Aunt Ellen hadn't questioned Dana. As for Nancy, Freedom for all," would have bee na perfect motto for that indepnedent young woman.
 Thus the episode was to remain known only to three people-Dana, Scott and one other.
 Dana did not receive her usual telephone call from Bonnie that morning. It didn't occur to her to wodner why. She had inherited her mothers naturally joyous attitude toward life and her fathers opti1n- ism. He had always been on the verge of painting the worlds finest picture, an expectant attitude to- ward life that had been it's own- compensation for diSappointments. But Nancy knew Ronnie had not called. If Dana had cheapened her. self by staying out with Ronnie until the peep of day, Nancy thought, she has only herself to blame.
 The idea never entered Nancy's brunei head that Dana could have been with anyone except Bonnie. For Ronnie was in Nancy'S mind and heart.
 When Ronnie's absence length ed, however, Mrs. Cameron scented disaster. "Is Bonnie sick?" she ask ed Dana on the third morning o1 Ronnie's defeection. (TO Be COntinued)

lifted Dana in his arms and car- ried her, while he threaded his way through debris and water.
 A car coming along the quiet street slowed down at corner. The lights were turned for 8 moment toward them. Dana followed the car with her eyes, thinking the outlines of the car were familiar.
 "It's 2:3O," Scott said. "Or nearer 3. Your family will be of their heads"
 "No. Grandmother never stays up for us and Aunt Ellen isn't the worrying kind. Nancy"
 She stopped. She had been about to say, Nancy wouldn't worry about me-" But it didn't seem a sisterly thing to say.
 "It's 8 sort of self-governing household" Dana amended. "In some respects at least. And in other respects it isn't"
 T hope this is one of the self governing occasions" Scott said. He fitted her Key in the lock carefully.
 Thanks for taking such good care of me-" Dana said in a low tone. T really had 8 grand time. And here we are"
 And the gossips none the wiser, l" Scott said, with 8 short laugh. That's something really to be thankful for" He pressed her hand IaowL o~I %I,oIa wvyoe rvnpNA
 Dana stood inside, with the door slightly ajar, watching him. Pres ently his tall figure merged with the darkness. She shut the door quietly and went up the stairs. The house was wrapped in stiffness and the slight sound of her. own door opening was magnif1ed by contrast. What a strange night 1t had been. And what a dear Scott Stanley was. What dear!
 In her own room Nancy had been awakened by the sound of Dana's cautious ascent.
 Staying out all hours with Ron nie," she thought. Maybe that's Dana's method of gettin ghim But" her lips curved scornfully eff I wanted bona fide wedding ring on my finger it wouldn't be mine"
 Dana had prepared herself to give a complete recital of last nights happenings. It had re- quired courage. Because in the light of next day, away from Scott's practical reasoning, she was not so sure the details would sound well. She was reasonably sure that her grandmother would be both an- gry and mortified. Grandmother would probably make it clear that ladies did not shed their clothes in the homes of men. At least no nice girl would. Dana was just as sure, too, that Grandmother would have advocated running the chance ot pneumonia and a speedy death rather than put on 8 mans loung- ing robe, no matter how enveloping it was.
 "There wasn't anything to be ashamed if, and I won't be-" Dana determined bravely.
 But the necessity for telling oi her adventure did not arise. Ii anyone had told Mrs. Cameron that she could be influenced by sugges. tion, she would have scoffed at the idea. Rather, she would have con. signed it to the limbo of impos. abilities in no uncertain terms Sarah had tapped at her door al 8 o'clock. bringing tempting tray and tempting idea, Might bs mighty good fer you, or Miss, tt have your breakfast in bed. Might be good to stay there, takin' things quiet-like. 'Twan't doin' you nc good, gettin' 8 wettin'."

One in Every Twenty-Five.
CNew York World Telegram )

Hereafter in curing mental illness psychiatrists must consider not only the individuals maadjust- ments but interhuman relations, from village to na tion said Dr. William Anderson White, of Wash ington, D. O., before the Academy of Medicine, recently.
 Dr. White estimated that hereafter one in every twenty-two persons born in New York State will go to an institution for mental illness
 Hunting reasons, he deplored the tendency of human beings amid their own failures and insecurity to the frailties of others to exalt themselves. He related this tendency to contemporary education which he said seeks to compress every child into mold instead of trying to unfold all his great possibilities.
 Denial of natural self-expressions results in ten sions produced by illustrations" and in explosions Of neurotic and psychotic nature
 Dr. White did not mention the higher mass regimentation and it's frustration which has come with the eviction of tens of millions from indepenent trades and from ownership of the land, ending in the mass regimentation of close to fourth of the nation for purposes of relief s .f48F
 And he sought interhuman solutions in cultural directions in social standards
 Since mental illness has grown as economic security and opportunity for independent self-ex- precision have decreased it would seem that the logical first basis for attack on insanity is not change cultural attitude toward mental illness, highly desirable though that be. The first necessity would seem to be new economic security and new hope for the individual an aspiring member of the social upon which, Dr. White said he is inevitably and increasingly dependent.

A BIG HELP TO ALASKA.

After years of study and experimenting it appears that the radophone has been perfected to the point where it be operated with an appreciabe degree of success While reception is not always certain the conversations that have been held over the instrument between here and Seattle have been clear and distinctive and the radiophone promises to give far-flung Alaska additional and more adequate means of communication
 Not only the commercial possibilities be- tween the Territory and the States enhanced but within our borders this new system of com municating may prove godsend, especially in the outlying places One has but to think of the present crisis at Point Barrow, to see readily the poss- bites Had authorities been able to talk direct to those in charge at the Arctic outpost much time might have been saved in determining the needs and dspatchng aid and lives may have been saved.
 The situation pertains throughout Alaska. Persons injured in small places where there is no doctor or disease set in and it is sometimes a matter of days before medical aid can be obtained The ravages of sickness and too often death has full play for long periods before the nearest com munity be contacted for help The radophone coupled with the airplane be Of the greatest boons to life itself in the North If these instru- ments be installed in some of the more isolated communities at fair cost it will add a great deal to making living in Alaska a little secure and happier, and in addition greatly expedite the com mercal transactions.

Public Protection the Issue.
(Kansas City Star.)

The American people have legitimate stake in the nature of the control that to be established for the utilities holding companies The interests of the people involved in numerous ways not the least of which is that due to the complicated inter- relationships of the holding and the operating panies, the public finally is called upon to pay the bills for whatever bad practices may exist.
 AS the holding company legislation makes it's way through Congress this vital factor of public interests must be kept dominant. How far the legislation may or should go toward the extreme of abolishing tain holding companies is not question of primary concern to the public The question rather is that abuses which have become notorious shall be abolish ed and repetition of them made impossible in the future The real issue is the necessity of affording that protection without injustice either to the hold ing companies or their investors.
 More specifically, the issue is rgidy adequate regulation to the ultimate point of eliminating such companies shown to be without legitimate ground for continuance, opposed to the extreme of blanket provision for the elimination of all
 That is the seeming trend of thought in Congress as the holding company bill is moved forward in that body. House committee hearings on the meas ure completed some time ago and those before the Senate committee now nearing an end Both sides have been given full opportunity to present their arguments There has been no haste no rush into ill-advised legislation. The utilities interests have admitted the necessity of Federal regulation and have proposed 1t to a degree that would have seemed incredible only few months ago But there has been disposition to accept that adequate it could hardly be coming it does from parte source
 What may be expected, in accordance with the various public expressions that have been made is the adequate regulation from the public standpoint with possibly additional and qualified provisions con- cerning the ultimate dissolution of such concerns as not only are needless but actually hurtful in their operation. That procedure if it finally develops will appeal to the fair mindedness of the American people

ANOTHER GAIN FOR SCIENCE.

Science moves ahead and some of it's revelations are little short of astounding but indicative always Of progress. From Los Angeles comes word that Dr. Ralph Willard, young blochemist, has perfected what he believes to be method of restoring life to animals frozen to death Experimenting with a tiny guinea pig he is reported to have restored it to physical activity and normal state after it had been frozen for three days. Now he is conducting similar experiments certain portions of the human body
 It is perhaps a little too much to expect that science will advance to the point of reviving from the dead those who actually succumb to freezing, but if arms, les and other parts of the body can be saved for the sufferer after he has been exposed to severe freezing il will be great step forward and godsend to many person. How often do we hear, especially here in the North, of person who lost or through accident, is badly frozen with the outcome that leg, hand or foot must be amputated? Such reported every year where the winters cold.
 If the Los Angeles doctor has developed some thing that will save those countless frozen arms and legs lost through battling the clements he will have done noble service to humanity.

JUST FOR WOMEN.

Women have long since established themselves in the business world along with and in some instances have far outshone their competitors and over in Copenhagen they going to get exclusive about it and erect woman's building, just for women There will be doctors. women dentists, women shopkeepers, women lawyers and so cn. The idea conceived by club and a architect will design the edifice which is to cost quarter of million.
 It's rather novel scheme and while it is assumed the practitioners will cater the regulations do not prohibit men customers and patients, which is probably the crux of the whole plan. The origin ator of the idea probably had pretty fair knowledge of the male of the species and the great advertising possibilities and drawing power ems building would have. Man is just naturally a curious and its probably safe to wager the bulk of the customers those doctors, lawyers shopkeepers and the like will have will be It's just the world old power that wields the other. The old saying that can't get along with them can't get along without them seems to work both ways. II some smart young fellow will just build a mans building right the street from the business monument to we'd find lot of patronizing the mems building.

 President Roosevelt could not have found a better man than Harry Hopkins to be the spark plug of the $400000000 works relief program.
 Things hum wherever and whenever Harry Hop kns sticks in his hand Dynamic, tireless purpose full he knows how to slash through Government red tape, get at the heart of problem and force action,
 The problem which he tackles is one of the most serious in the nations history. Nearly one sixth of the population exist does. It will be Mir Hopkins job to make the works program click and transfer the breadwinners of relief families onto payrols
 MT. Hopkins has been a very human and eff cient Relief Administrator. The remarkably few instances of graft and favoritism in the relief setup have been traced to State and local officials and eradicated No scandal has touched his own opera tions those under his immediate supervision. He has resisted political pressure without needlessly antagonizng politicians Almost overnight he or ganized a far-flung corps of relief workers, who, fired by his enthusiasm, accomplished an almost impossible task.
 A lesser would have cracked under the strain. But MT. Hopkins kept his balance and his objectives
 His goal is a job with living wage for every American As head of the works progress division he move down new path toward that goal

VESUVIUS ERUPTS;-
PART OF CONE GOES
Naples Rushes to Windows in
Alarm at Roar-Lava, Sparks
Light Heavens for Miles.

BY the Associated Press.
NAPLES, July 3.-Mount Vesuvius
erupted with a tremendous explosion
early today. blowing a piece of its
cone high into the air. Lava was
flowing copiously from the aperture,
but remained inside the big crater.
Soon afterward, another opening ap-
peared at the base of the cone, lava
flowing from it also. The explosion
occurred before daybreak, and the dis
charge of burning lava and sparks
lighted up the heavens for miles. Res
idents of Naples rushed to their win
dows in alarm at the roar.
The Vesuvius Observatory issued a
statement minimizing the danger, as
serting:
'Vesuvius is in a phase of notewor-
thy activity which, however. can be
termed ideal inasmuch as discharges
of steam, gas and sparks are occurring
in the interior of the crater, thus pre-
venting accumulation Of strong vapor
pressure.
THE phase of the eruption is ex-
tremely active today, as a consequence
of which the bottom of the crater is
full Of rivers of fire."
Today's was the first eruptive activ-
ity Of Vesuvius since June, 1888.
