ever care for any one else with her

A WEEK later the now familiar
\ handwriting greeted her eyes as
she scanned the letter table In the
hall for her mail. With commend
able aplomb she chatted with the
landlady for a few moments, walked
to her room and removed her coat
and hat before opening the letter.
But her hand trembled just bit as
the letter opener smoothly slit the
flap.

was good to know that some one was
actually impatient to see one-after
almost 10 years of practical excom-

heart action accelerated as she made
a last-minute decision. If she went
through with this she must forget
Richard forever. All right, she would.
The carnation at her shoulder lifted
and fell with her respiration as the
train drew slowly into the station
and stopped. Marcia's eager eyes
strained toward the passengers who
were coming out. Her hand flew to
her breast.
1t wasn't, it couldn't be Richard,
this portly. heavily jowled young man
in the neat business suit who was
standing there. looking through the
crowd with porcine eyes for some one,

throat. With a semi-hysterical laugh.

The thin, sharp slice of moon which
she could see above the roof OF the

ironically at her image in the dresser

And then one afternoon as she
reached home there was letter wait

the table at the foot of the stairs

Ernest Runs the Grocery

TINE only market anywhere around is Ernest

merchandise from the wholesale markets, which buy
it in New York. He does buy about 100 of corn

Today S Science
By DAVID DIETZ

THE very fundamentals upon which scientists
today base their theories of the universe are
challenged by Or. William McDougall, world-famous
psychologist and professor of psychology at Duke
University.
In a singing indictment. set forth at length in a
book Just of the presses. The Frontier of PSychOl-
ogy" DR.. McDougan accuses Sir James Jeans and
EddlngtOn and the other apostles OF the newer
scientific views of being guilty of bad psychology.
Merely bad psychology and bad logic" is the
description he applies to physicists at one time and
again he writes Thus physics finds itself committed
to frankly unintelhgible assumptions"
Dr. McDC all attacks the entire scientific con-
cept OF energy as an unjustifable abstraction.
Sir James has summarized the modern scientific
view in these words: All the life Of the universe
NAV be regarded as manifestations of energy mas
ouerading in various forms. and all the changes IN
the universe as energy running about from one of
these forms TO the other, but always without alter
ING its total amount
This story of the conversion of an entity,
fundamental existent from one form to another
smacks too much of magic, or of Alice IN Wonder
land and should give pause. DR.. McDougall
writes He rejects the second law of thermodynamicS
This law fundamental TO modern scientific theories
says that the universe IS running down.
