The Senator's measure proposes

the adjusted service certificates. The
amount paid would be calculated on
the original value plus per cent in

with James drunk or sober. I have
a few things to say to him that I'd
rather say to him alone" She smiled,
an ugly thin-ipped smile.
There was anticipation in this smile
and and pleasure. 1t would be
pleasure to Jane to goad and sting
him. Horror of Jane, horror and
loathing engulfed him. He stared at
her long moment Why, he wasn't
afraid of Jane. BY Gods mercy he
wasn't the least afraid of her. James
abruptly laughed loud and long.
1T may seem funny to you" Jane
said, thruSting her face close to his
across the table, but I confess I fail
to see anything funny in drunken
lout coming home to his wife, hor-
rible, filthy God, if you could
see yourself"
James stopped laughing as suddenly
as he had begun. He leaned even
closer to Jane, his hands on the table.
1T isn't funny" he said soberly. Il
only laughed to keep from crying.
We ought to be crying, both Of us.
It's mercy that you ought to thank
God for on your knees that you can
not see yourself E. as I see you i.
as you are"
Mr.. Northrup. who had been fairly
dancing up and down in impatience,
broke in. You'll hear from me in the
morning, young man. Yes, you'll hear
from me. If you say a word more to
my daughter in your present obscene
condition warn you that"
Shut up. Another bleat from you
and III throw you out of that door
Just you open your pig sty of a
mouth again"
Mr.. Northrup had already opened
his mouth. He closed it hastily.
James turned to Jane.
May I ask you one question before
I go? It's question that's haunted
me for long time"
Jane. clinging to her father, nodded
but did not speak. James asked,
did you love me when you married
me?"
Jane amazingly shook of her
fathers restraining arm and came
forward, came around the table. "Of
course loved you my dear OF course
1 loved you" she said and put q
timid hand on James shoulder.
But I never loved you, so I am
the one most to blame. Forgive me.
And forget me. Good-by."
Tomorrow, James goes home again.

Hutrhinsun

THIS surname is said to be of
Gaelic origin. with an English
/ termination. and signifies ''the son OF
Hugh" In England and in the North
of Ireland, the more usual orthogra-
ply is Hutchison. One authority,
however, assigns the origin of this
name to one "UrtchenSis," a Nor
wegian, who came to England with
William the Conqueror. The first
mention of the name in old English
records appears in 1882. when Bar
nard Hutchison lived at Crowland,
in Yorkshire
There is rather long list of the
first settlers" named Hutchinson and
Hutchison, who founded their homes
in several New England States prior
to 1900 The very first was George
Hutchinson. who came over with Gov.
Winthrop in 1880 He is recorded as
a member of the first church in Bos-
ton Edward Hutchinson came from
Lincolnshire. England, in 1888, and
settled in Rhode Island, but it is re-
corded that he returned to England.
William, evidently a close relative of
Edward. remained in the Rhode Island
colony, where he was made freeman
in 1888.
The coat of arms here illustrated
represents the seal of John Hutchin-
son, the first to appear in the South
ern colony. This family, which settled
in South Carolina, traced its lineage
of Col. John Hutchinson, Governor of
Nottingham Castle, and his wife. Lucy
Apsley, daughter of Sir Allan Apsley.
Col. Thomas Hutchinson. the son of
the founder, John, served as justice
for Charleston, S. c., in 1776 The
family owned large plantations in
Georgia and the Carolinas.

of Boulder Project.

Y AS VEGAS, New, May lin
Black Canyon of the Colorado
River. about Is miles southeast
~ Of Las Vegas, towers Boulder
Dam. the gigantic engineering
project that has created a worldwide
interest.
Boulder City, the new town built
by the Government to house the force
Of workmen. engineers and officials
engaged in building the dam, is situ-
ated about miles west of the dam
site. The town is reached by branch
line from Las Vegas. The air-condi-
toned trains Of the Union Pacific
System between Salt Lake City and
Southern California stop at Las
Vegas, where stopover privileges to see
Boulder Dam are granted.
Many tourists to the dam area make
Las Vegas their headquarters. as there
are many new hotels to accommodate
the visitors.
Boulder Dam project has three
major divisions-the dam in Black
Canyon and reservoir, the huge pow
er plant at the base of the dam and
the All-American Canal, a great water
way that will irrigate a vast new area
in Imperial Valley, California. The
reservoir created by the building Of the
dam will be the largest artificial lake
in the world 1t will be lis miles in
length with a maximum width of 8
miles and will have shore line of
$50 miles. The water held in this
reservoir would cover the entire State
Of Connecticut to a depth of 10 feet.
THE dam Is the largest in the world.
1t scars 730 feet above bedrock
The thickness Of the dam at the base
is $50 feet, tapering up to As feet at
the top.
The power plant just below the falls
will generate over l.800,0 900 horsepow-
er of energy. At capacity, this is ap-
proximately twice as much as the
total combined energy developed at
Niagara Falls (American side) and
Muscle Shoals.
BY holding the waters Of the Col
orado in leash during the flood period
it will stop the periodical flood ravish
which has already cost millions. AT
the same time it will preserve the
excess waters for distribution during
the dry season. making available an
increased supply that will irrigate
over 1000 900 more acres Of land and.
in addition, will provide a supply of
domestic water sufficient for popu-
lation Of more than l0000,O00.
