CHAPTER XII
The apartment of Yvonne Daut-
rey was in the old-fashioned
French manner.
Directly under the roof in a
some what dilapidated-look ing
house in the old part Of Green
wich Village, its little entrance
hall and living room and bedroom
were papered throughout in a
gaudy pattern of enormous flow
erS and birds against impossible
looking foliage. This wallpaper
covered even the very doors! It
made Chou-Chou shrek eXuber-
antly, as if he felt right back
where he belonged, in his original
forest!
Because she was practically de-
void of money until pay day
(Which was five days Off and
because Yvonne had been insist
ent, and she had felt lonely in this
great city, and she had no time
to look for lodgings, Luana had
consented to stay with the French
girl.
Yvonne would be company in
the evenings. Luana dreaded her
own thoughts and memories. She
was still suffering from the shock
of her unfortunate, brief marriage
with its sequel.
The chatter of Yvonne helped
to dispel, however temporarily, the
vision Of this recent, devastating
past. It struck Luana there was
something in Yvonne akin to
Chou.C Chou, the little monkey.
Both had quaint small faces,
beady black eyes that noticed
everything, necessarily jabbering
tongues, and restless bodies.
That Yvonne, in true French
fashion. had got much the better
OF the bargain in their division OF
the apartment had been unno-
ticed by Luana, however. Gladly
she agreed to sleep upon the liV-
ing room couch that quantity
turned into a bed at night. The
bathroom would be her dressing
room. Yvonne had the bedroom.
Luana said she found the arrange
ment perfectly all right.
On the fourth night after her
arrival, she was sitting alone in
the living room, Yvonne having
gone off to dine and dance some
where or other. Luana had set
tied herself near the open win
dow with q book.

she sighed involuntarily as she

missing.
But, in her present circum-
stances, it was folly-and worse
to let her thoughts wander to-
wards romance.
She started as bali Of fur

bounded through the open win
dow past her very nose. e..

During the years from 1880 to

and at one time, in the summer and
fall of 1882, the curve just about
went off the bottom of the page.
While we aren't experiencing a
boom today and while there are
plenty of dark spots in the picture
notably the undiminshed unemploy-
ed total-comparati speaking,
there is optimism in business reports.
A survey Of the leading business
publications shows that the best
arometers-when the usual sea-

on the rise. Leading industries are
doing better than was anticipated for
the summer period, and seem to be
looking forward with confidence to
great improvement in the fall.

Analysis Shows Stronger Positions

In survey and analysis OF earnings
and expenses of state banks doing
commercial business, 1t is brought out
that in majority of states they have
increased their earning ability during
1885. On the basis of data covering
1928 banks in AZ states, the report
says:
1.-THE most significant fact to be
pointed out is that new profits of state
banks-after deducting charge-offs on
loans, investments, ETC.. and adding
recoveries-were shown in 81 of the
AZ states which reported in 1885. In
comparison with net profits In only II
of the IS states reporting in 1884. Mea-
sured in terms Of dollars per each 800
of invested funds. net profits In 1885
ranged between $40 and $40 per 500.
with 10 states showing profits Of $1.00,
or over, per 500; while in 1884 net
profits did not exceed $1.20 per 500
and only three states showed profits
of $100, or over"
The report contains voluminous ia

CIVIL SERVICE POsTMAsTERs

Politics works great wonders, even
for the Civil Service. President
Roosevelt stole march on Governor
Landon when he issued an executive
order placing all first, second and
third class postmasterships, 1890

subject to the regulations of the Civil
Service Commission. All postmas-
terships will now be governed by
Civil Service regulation because the
1866 fourth class postmasters were
already in the classified service. OF

WANT POLES BARRED FROM
ROADSIDE

The State Roads Commission has
sought legal aid in its efforts to force
public utilities to move poles off
road rights of way.
The commission decided to ask the
Attorney General whether 1t could
collect from the utilities for failure
to move poles which hold up road
construction.
1.-THE public loses in these cases
where the contractor can't finish or
time" DR.. Homer E. Tabler, chair
man of the commission, said.
The current case arises out of the
paving of the Taneytown-Coopers-
Vile road. Roads officials said tele-
phone and electric power poles stood
along the right of way, blocking road
equipment.
The companies were asked TO
move the poles, the commission as
serted, and the telephone company
began to do so. However, the roads
officials said, the telephone company
poles were moved only slowly and
the power company poles not at all.
The commission said if there is
any law penalizing the utilities for
failing to remove poles, it would be
invoked and the case thrown into the
! courts as a test
| The commission also voted to
Guild 41,OO0 feet of sand fence along
he beach north of Ocean City in
preparation for construction of a
road north to the Delaware Stat
line. The fence, made of cheap,
waste lumber, is placed between the
line of the road and the shore. Dur
ing the winter it acts as a wind
break for storms, piling up an arti-
fetal dune which later protects the
road from the surf.

MILK IN FARM INCOME

Where would civilization begin,
where would it end without milk?
This seems to be perfectly natur-
al question to ask in view of the fact
that more than rs per cent of the
1900 pounds of food eaten each year
by the average American consists of
milk and other dairy products, sur
vey made by the Milk Industry
Foundation reveals.
About 80 per cent of the nations
milk supply is used as fluid milk"
for cooking and drinking; about 33
per cent for butter; per cent for
cheese; 4 per cent for canned milk;
2 per cent for ice cream and rs per
cent on farms, the survey discloses.
The dairy industry must utilize milk
from % million cows on five million
farms, or three-fourths Of the farms
in the United States every day, ac-
cording to very interesting booklet,
Milk for Millions.
More than a quarter of million
people are needed for the nation
wide daily milk delivery of As mil
lion quarts and to make butter,
cheese, ice cream and other dairy
products. Daily milk delivery, often
compared with the mail, is a far
more complicated problem, the sur
vey states, as milk is highly perish
able and must be delivered seven
days week.
Today, milk accounts for approx
mately one-fifth of all farm cash in
come contrasted with one-eighth a
decade ago.

HOW The BANKS AID
THE GOVERNMENT
Normal and Emergency Needs
Met by Advances of Com
mercial Banking Credit

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. The
American commercial banking credit
system is an absolute essential In the
financial operations of business and
government. Harold G. Moulton. Presi.
dent of the Brookings Institution of
Washington, D. c., said here recently in
an address before the Graduate School
of Banking conducted under the joint
auspices of Rutgers University and the
American Bankers Association.
n the fexibility and expansibility
provided by commercial banking credit
were eliminated. DR.. Moulton declared.
1T is scarcely too much to say that the
economic system itself would shortly be
destroyed
Normally the amount of credit ex-
tended by commercial hanks to the gov.
eminent is small in amount and for the
purpose mainly of financing temporary
requirements in anticipation of tax col.
lections OF bond sales But in periods of
war and acute depression. when the
financial requirements of government
expand with great rapidity. the expan
sion Of commercial bank credit is on a
tremendous scale. Such is the case at
the present time.

tai construction, and to provide relief to
the unemployed"
DR. Moulton declared that 1t is not
true that the world depression was
caused by breakdown of the American
banking system (which did not. in fact,
occur until the depression had been
under way for more than three years"
He added:
"Nor is 1t true that the world NAL

planned simply by undue extensions Of

ceding years. These maladjustments In

Owners of radio sets may not have
given the matter much thought, but

THE McGUFFEY CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION

The two-day McGuffey centennial
celebration, held by the McGuffey
Society of America at Oxford, Ohio
on the campus of Miami University
closed July rs, 1886. The various
exercises were attended by many
grandfathers and grandmothers, and
some of their children, whose mem
DRY recalled their first lessons in
reading and whose characters were
enriched by the pointed stories and
literary gems in the McGuffey' IS
readers.
Mr.. w. H. r. Howe, president OF
the American Book Company of Gin
linnati, Ohio, said, in the course Of
his remarks, that over 124, 100000
copies of McGuffeys readers had
been sold throughout the world and
that they were still being used in
some schools.
1t was the conviction of many that
these readers afforded the foundation
for the literacy and culture not only
of the Middle West, but in many
other parts of the United States.
Plans are being made to erect a
monument on the campus of the
Miami University. where William
Holmes McGuffey taught, to the
memory of the great preacher-educa-
tor whose works have meant so
much to the literacy, culture, and the
morals of the Nation.

THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACES

Il
The most dangerous place you can
be in the ordinary course of existence
is in the automobile. The second
most dangerous place is in your
home.
These deductions are made from
figures recently released by the Ma
tional Safety Council covering the
accident record during 1885, when
accidents caused more than 100000
deaths. Automobiles accounted for
$1,000 of the total-an all-time high
record-and home accidents for
around $1,000.
1t is a sad commentary on the
habits of the American people that
easily avoidable home accidents cause
more injuries and deaths than indus
trial accidents. The average Ameri-
can industry has made astonishing
strides in reducing both the fire.
quency and severity of accidents.
Part of this achievement followed
better guarding of machinery. But
the most important cause of the re-
duction was the installation of a
philosophy of carefulness in the
workmen.
At home and on the road, the man
who wouldn't think of taking a
chance at his work, apparently feels
free of such 'inhibitions. The driv-
ing errors that cause motor accidents
are we'll known. Not so well known
are the principal causes of home ac-
cidents. Falling out Of windows,
slipping in the bathtub, falling down
stairs, tampering with electrical
eQuipment-these are sources Of
thousands of deaths and injuries
each year.
These figures should make you
think-and think more than once.
The hospital and the morgue await
those who are thoughtless, careless
and reckless.
