about you"
"Really?" said Mona indifferently.
She fluffed out her hair and dabbed
lipstick on her mouth. From across
the room Mabel watched her with a
curious little frown. She seemed on
the point of speaking, but thought bet

And so they went downstairs and
out onto the terrace where Mona was
presented to Craig Gilman. Sight of
him gave her little shock. There
was something vaguely familiar about
the way he spoke and looked and
acted. Ten minutes later, alone with
him, she said: by the way, Mr.. Gill
man, have you happened to see Al

Craig's eyes shone. Indeed / have.
Isn't she superb"
Mona's heart sank. She knew now
what had happened. Craig had seen
the play and it had affected him as it
had her. He was trying to mimic the
acting of Orion Chase. He, too, must
have been confronted with a problem
similar to her own, and had found a
solution to 1t in Mr.. Chase's perform
ance. Well, that at least put them on
an even basis, with Mona having a
slight edge because she was cognizant
Of the role each was playing. Vaguely
fearful, she wondered If Alberta's
tactics would after all, work out 80

"Please. hoped-that is, we've

Mona regarded him languorousuy, or
what she thought was dangerously.
"Really, Mr.. Gilman, we're to have a
whole weekend together. After all"
She smiled in highly sophisticated
fashion and moved away.
1t couldn't last. Mona knew 1t
couldn't. She loved Craig Gilman al
most from the moment she saw him.
And when YOU love a man you can't
play-act. Or Mona couldn't. She had
to be herself. and eventually she'd
have to confess to him.
After that weekend at Mabel Shar-

Mothers Urged
To Cooperate With
Health Authorities
Young Children And Babies
Should be Immunized Against
Diphtheria-Dreaded Enemy

Over half of the sickness from the
Catching" diseases reported to the
State Department of Health, occurs
among young children and is due to
measles, humps, chickenpox, whoop-
ing cough, scarlet fever and other So
called children's diseases. Speaking of
the prevalence and seriousness of
such diseases, DR.. R. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the State Department of Health
said: "Diphtheria still figures in the
total, but it plays a less important
part than it did before so many par
ents realized that children can be
protected against the disease and be-
gan taking their babies and their 9TH
er young children-not previously pro-
tected-either to their own doctors or
to the Health Department Clinics to
be immunized against their dreaded
enemy.
NEARLY all mothers realize the SER
iousness of diphtheria, and are willing
to take steps to have their children
protected against this particular
disease. But many do not realize the
seriousness of the other catching
diseases and they do not safeguard
either their own or their neighbours
children, as carefully as they might
against them.
"The idea that children's diseases
don't amount to very much and that
all of the children in the family may
as well have them, at the same time,
and have it over has been proved to
be great mistake. Many of these
diseases are usually hard on very
young children. Both younger and old
er children need to be protected, at all
times, from needless exposure to in
fictitious or catching diseases. There
is always danger, of serious after
effects, even from very light cases.
Deafness and eye trouble in later life,
may often be traced to some infec-
tions disease in childhood. Kidney
diseases and damaged hearts often
have their beginning in the same way.

cause Craig Gilman continued to play
his role to act and talk and look as
much as possible like Orion Chase.
She hated him for It. Or she tried to
hate him. And then, abruptly, an idea
occurred to her. Craig was acting that
way because he thought he was i'm
pressing her. He feared to return to
his normal self because of the posi-
bility that her interest might wane.
This thought was at once explana-
tory and reassuring. Mona decided
that at the first opportune moment
she would assure him that as Craig
Gilman he would appeal to her a
great deal more than as Orion Chase.
The opportunity came sooner than
she expected. 1t came, in fact, the
next afternoon. Craig called to take
her driving. In the hall, helping her
on with her coat, he suddenly seized
her shoulders and looked down into
her eyes. "Mona. I'm in love with
you, have been In love with you al
ways, will love you forever and ever.
viii you marry me?'
Mona caught her breath. She looked
up at him and in that moment forgot
about being languorous, forgot ABBOTT
Alberta and Orion and everything else.
"Yes," she said. Eyes. love you,
too, Craig"
He kissed her, and then suddenly she
remembered. She stood away from
him. She said: "Craig, have con-
fession to make. I'm not the sort
of girl you think me. I've been lit
tie idiot-trying to model myself after
that silly Alberta Rawson $3.50 you
would love me-"
She paused, breathless, waiting, ex-
pecting him to grin and say some
thing like: "Why, honey, that's all
right. The show impressed me, too,
and thought that if assumed the
attitude of Orion Chase"
But he didn't. He said: "Werl
So that's it?"
Mona didn't like the sound of his
voice. 1mpulsively she said: "Yes,
and you've been trying to act like
Orion Chase. II couldn't help no
ticing. Why don't you admit it?"
For an instant he merely stared at
her. A smile appeared ON his lips.

"Knew what?" said Mona.

Mona felt herself Keeling. She put
out a hand, swayed forward. He
caught her in his arms, looked down
at her in concern and alarm. "Mona

Mona opened her eyes. She sighed.
"It-it doesn't make any difference"
she said. IL guess the shock of
realizing how successfully my plan
worked was too-much."
Which, despite the fact that he didn't
grasp the significance of it, was quite
a satisfactory explanation as far as
Craig was concerned.

man. For, after watching
the superb performance of Alberta
Rawson, Mona knew that her own
problem was solved. Alberta, leading
lady, had shown her the light. That
is, Mona felt that if she could act to-
ward men as Alberta acted toward
them, she would be as successful in
real life as the leading lady was on
the stage. She couldn't help it.
During all of her nineteen years, or
that portion of them when she was
conscious of the meaning of romance
1.-TWO years to be exact), Mona had
had to contend with many womanly
problems, chief among which was the
matter Of attracting and holding a
mans interest. Men had always re-
garded her with that kid-sister atti-
tude, or they wanted to be pals; not
one had made ardent love to her or
even limited at such thing as mar
rage. II made her furious. Not that
she wanted to get married. She mere
" wanted to be proposed to, so that
she could refuse and tell the other
girls about it. Like Rose Armstrong,
for example. Rose had been proposed
to five times. She spoke of 1t indiffer-
emily, yet triumphantly. And Rose was
only twenty-one. Mona envied her.
Mona knew that the reason she didn't
appeal to men was her own fault. She
has tried desperately to acquire a
woman-of-the-world attitude, and
failed. Unaccountably, annoyingly she
retained her "sisterly" manner. But
now Alberta Rawson had shown her
the light Alberta had solved her prob
lem. The leading lady of "Storm of
Love" had portrayed dangerous and
highly sophisticated siren, with which
she ensnared the attractive and much
sought after Orion Chase, leading man.
Orion had resisted her no5ly until the
last act, yielding only after a hard
fought battle.
1t was two days later, at Mabel
Sharon's Long Island home, that Mona
was presented to Craig Gilman. 81

ton is definitely of the opinion that
the citizens Of washington sincerely
| want these additions to the school
budget and are convinced that they
are urgently needed at this time. that
they have been sent forward. II our
fellow-citizens really want the i'm
provements in the schools that they
have repeatedly said they do, they
must support the board by saying so,
| both to the District Commissioners
and to the committees Of the House
and Senate. And they must be willing
to see to 1t that the money is forth
coming, in one way or another, to
pay for these needs Of the schools.
Public school education available
upon a democratic basis for all the
children of all the people has become
part Of the American way of life.
Every citizen now accepts this princi-
self and to his children. Too often,
however, the fact that such a priv
ilege must be paid for is overlooked,
and there are even few who are
so un-American as to resent this
tradition Of free public education. Is
1t worth the cost, or isn't it?-that
Is the question to be decided by every
community. Lavish expenditure for
unnecessary buildings and equipment
Is one thing; needed expenditure for
the minimum requirements of self
respecting community, such as we
are asking for Washington, is quite
another.
In spite Of the general belief in
free public education, not all Amer
ican communities have as yet plotted
the curve" as the engineers and stat
isticians say, of future needs Of a
school system based upon population
growth and changes in residential
areas, so that those needs can be met
as economically as possible. Here in
Washington the Board of Education
has tried to do this kind of planning,
| just as public utility such as tele-
phone company must, if 1t is to meet
| future requirements economically and
efficiently. With the help Of repre-
sentatives of our community, we hope

for our growing needs, in order to
avoid unnecessary costs. BY such
planning it is hoped that schools will
not become so hopelessly overcrowded,
for instance, as the Eastern High
School has been during the past year.
Unfit Buildings Go.
Such planning would eliminate such
a building as the Jefferson Junior
High School, which is unfit to serve
as a public school building in a city
like Washington. So antiquated is this
fine old relic that year or SO age
the Smithsonian Institution requested
the Board of Education to permit re-
moval to the Smithsonian of the
clock system of the Jefferson School
because the system had antiquarian
value that made it more suitable fol
a museum than school building. The
board eagerly granted the request; ir
fact, it would have been gratified If the
Smithsonian had offered to take ths
whole building of our hands as al

immediate replacement by . modern
structure. This year the board again
will do all In its power to obtain funds
to purchase Land for such replace
ment.
The D. G. appropriations act each
year is the most important piece Of
legislation affecting the District Of
Columbia because it is the bread
and butter" Of the District govern
ment. Its passage represents the
completion Of long and complicated
process in which District ofncials par
ticipate. No less than four major
hearings are held in which District
officials justify the items for their re-
spective departments: Before the D. c.
Commissioners; before the Bureau Of
the Budget; before the House Sub
committee on Appropriations, and be-
fore the Senate Subcommittee on
Appropriations.
Public officials whose salaries ag-
gregate q goodly amount per day
spend many, many days-and there
fore many, many dollars of public
money-in appearing at least four
different times on the same budget. I
know that these officials work nights,
early mornings and Sundays catching
up on their regular work in order to
make up for these long hours spent in
hearings. Members of the Board OF
Education (whose combined salaries
as members of the board, however
aggregate exactly nothing) also at
tend all these hearings, anxious as
they are to make certain that the
needs of the school system will bt
explained as fully as possible at all
the hearings. They are glad to do so
and will continue to do so in the in
terests of the schools and the chill
dren Of Washington.
Now. II the commission studying
D. c. fiscal questions is able to for
mulate workable plan, perhaps some
of the time spent in explaining and
re-explaining the items of the District
budget may be saved.
Sisson Bill Prospect.
The next session of Congress will
have before it for consideration the
Sisson bill to repeal the legislative
rider to the 1856 appropriation
act which forbids payment OF salary
to any person teaching or advocating

favorable reports by Senator Walsh
chairman of the Senate committee
and Representative Kennedy, chair
man of the House subcommittee
which considered the Sisson bill. Ex.

ing reasons for repeal of this so-callec
