Jess, VIII, Norman, Harry,
Danny and Frank Veihmeyer are
the six surviving boys, now grown
to men, Of Mrs. Mary Veihmeyer,
Edward having been lost to the
brood recently. Every mothers
son Of 'em bowls, plays baseball
and Is generally enthused over
sports. Thus, the mother, living
in q Satiated atmosphere Of sport,
Is Just the big sister Of the lot.
Mrs. Veihmeyer Is kind enough
to set down her views on the
Washington team, and, because Of
the understanding with which the
head Of q family always appraiseS
her own, as well as others, think
Mrs. Veihmeyer's letter is some
thing more than q gem. It is q
timely mothers day letter, indeed.
Now I claim that only q mother
Of seven could countenance q ball
club, which, as she says, at times
looks so different. Hers is toler'
ance for you in great, big heaping
tablespoonful doses. She sees the
clubs good days through its ire

tain that these fees can be lower
ed to a minimum of five dollars
for private automobiles and still
provide adequate revenues to re-
tire highway bonds, maintain the
highways better than they are be-
ing maintained at present, and
provide for necessary and reason

when this matter was being
debated during the recent session
of the legislature, the admlnlStra-
ton spokesman argued against re-

doubtful tina ta material surplus
would exist in the road fund.
Directly contrary 20 their pre-
1ict;an. the highway fund at the
close OF the biennium showed
huge cash surplus which even the
highway commission was unable
TO hide. According to the most
recent report, a cash surplus OF
S14,SO1.S24 now exists IN the
highway fund.- said the candidate
for governor.
"The maintenance of such
tremendous surplus by means OF
exorbitant taxes is clearly unjust
and is an unsound business policy,

employees do not profit from these
high taxes because their wages

at is difficult to escape the
conclusion that high automobile
taxes are maintained for the
benefit largely OF two groups:
the bondholding group and the
machine politicians.

decision. "Iille ell southern girls"

for the same reasons. But she

Around those TWO notes Scott
had built o reserve Of strength
and determination to carry HIM
through the lonely days and
nights. There were many such
days and nights behind him-and
more ahead. He faced them calmly
but with bitterness in his heart.
About the time Scott, from q
deep chair on the OsborneS'
launch, was watching the shore
line recede, Dana was on her way
to the courthouse.
1t was like dream. mounting
the wide, worn steps of the cold,
gray building. There was a dread
full. chilled feeling in her heart
that matched her surroundings.
How terrible to be coming to this
solemn place, concerned with so
much unhappincss and despair.

CHAPTER XXXVII

Scott sat in his office, his blond
head in his hands. He did not
hear the door open, and he flush
ed with embarrassment when Dr..
Osborne spoke.
Don't mind me, Scott" the
older man said, placing a compass
sionate hand on SCOTS shoulder.
II was just wondering if you
wouldn't join Mrs. Osborne and
me. We are planning to spend the
day on the river. DR.. and Mrs.
Willoughby are coming along,
too"
Scott thanked him, suspecting
the trip had been arranged for
him. It would be a relief to get
away from town, to put distance
between himself and that business
going on at the courthouse.
Dr.. Osborne said, "Yoa'rc too
good a doctor, Scott, not to know
there's hope, as long as there's
life"
Scott shook his head grimly.
you're too good not to know
that there's a time when hoping
doesn't help much"
DR.. Osborne sighed and left the
room. He was devoted to Scott:
If he had had a son, he would
have wanted him to be exactly
like this straight-thinking boy. Dr..
Osborne could scarcely have been
more troubled today if Scott had
been his own boy.
So many times Scott had gone
over his battle-ground. Always the
longing to see Dana had been COM
batted when he remembered the
words of her note, Don't ask ne
