1 "oh yeahI"
 "Pleasc believe me. I'm in earn- est. ] want to change with you"
 The girls laugh rang harshly. "Tell that to someone who hasn't cut her wisdom teeth yet. Be- sideB," she added, 1T won't need clothes much where I'm going"
 You're going away2"
 "Yes,"
 "Then please take these with you -isn't there some place where we could changer We must hurry be. cause I'm meeting friend here ct G."
 "You haven't much time," the other girl replied. All right. Anything to oblige. If you're plan. ming to give the boy friend the shock of his life, I'll accommodate you, It will Dc Q kind of shock to some friends of mine, too. I guess Wo can make 1t before the store closes. With everybody putting away stock, the rest room will be empty" ,,
 A few minutes later Molly stared at herself. Yes, clothes made oil the difference. In the cheap, bright green crepe and the cheap hat with green feather at the side she looked exactly aS the other girl had Q moment before.
 The shoes were Q trifle loose, but not enough to matter greatly. The other girl opened her purse and took out 6 handkerchief and Q small package, then handed her purse to Molly. She was smiling queerly.
 Empty" Molly decided. Her own purse was filled with bills. She took one bill out.
 "There's about $50 or S60 in bills in this purse" she told the girl. "Please keep them. And look me Up soon. I'm sure there's something I could do Co help you. We're not miles apart-two girls cut from the same pattern"
 I'm afraid it's too late-now," the other said sadly. I'm going away, But it's nice to know there are some kind people-cven now"
 Something tn her expression caught ct Molly's heart. T don't know your nafne," she cried.
 "It's on m envelope in the pursc," the girl told her.
 At the side entrance of the store, Molly saw Nelson Whitaker, anx- iously scanning the faces of the crowd. He looked into her face for Q moment blankly. Then, as Molly smiled, recognition leaped to his eyes,

tractive. Donna, haven't you ever known the time when you were Be eager for something different that you'd have gone out With--her eyef fell on the headlines of the paper c bank Fobber, If he'd asked you?"
 Mercy, mol" Donna shuddered prettily. T can't say I have ever felt that low. What queer ideas you have sometimes, Molly. AS c matter of fact, you don't know anything about this new man. He might be anything"
 T suspect he's an iconoelast," Molly smiled a little.
 T seem to have heard the word" Donna replied vaguely. People who pull down things"
 Pull down inherited ideas such aS caste, conceived to protect the privileges Of the few" Molly sup- piled helpfully.
 "0oodness, what would your fath. CT say If he knew you were going out with man like that?"
 It was 20 minutes to c when Mol- iy stepped from her car and dis. missed the chauffeur. She stood for Q moment, watching the long, shining car gradually lose itself in the seq of trafilc. It occurred to her, aB she stood there, that 1t might have been wiser to send 0 message by Davis, telling Donna where she was going to dine.
 But that was Q silly thought. Frenchy's might be Q name Nelson Whitaker had given the Festau- rant, because of that broken -down old Frenchnnan who ran it. The real name of the place might be something quite different.
 She turned and started toward the side entrance of Wilson -MarX'B, but before she reached the wide, swinging glass doors she stopped abruptly.
 A girl was atanding there. A girl who was aB much like Molly as her own reflection in c mirror.
 Molly walked closer. "It's not be- lieyable," she said, but it's true, isn't it?"
 The other girl smiled c little cyn- ically. "Yes," she replied. i've often seen your picture in the paper. Once I cut 1t out and asked boy friend # we weren't as alike as two peas. lie said I had 6 crush on myself, but l knew we were alike. Not that it made any difference, You can't do much with yourself without clothes. I did have my hair cut like yours, but I couldn't really look like you do-"
 "Ciothes," Molly said slowly, make Q difference" Her voice was bewiIdered. This was one Of the things that couldn't happen-yet It had.
 Talking with this girl with the golden- brown hair was almost like talking to herself. But vastly dif- fcrent, too. Because unless terrible and cruel things had happened to you, your voice could never sound so cold, 70 hopeless, as this girls did.
 Molly studied the other girl. The same slender nose, slightly tipped. The same shade of hair, the same eyes, the same contour of face. They were about the same size, too. A difference of two or three pounds at the most.
 Well" Molly said shakily. T guess I've met my double. They say everyone has one"
 "so what2" the other asked sar. castically. Were a million miles apart in these clothes, aren't weP"
 Moved by a sudden impulse, half compassion and some other feeling she didn't stop to anaiyze, Molly said: I'd like to change clothes with you. I'd as soon be wearing yours as Inine."

ine progress oil the summers recre-
Htional projects, in the course OF
which Eyer explained a proposal
which he hopes to present to the
city council and various service
organizations in the immediate fu-
ture.
Site for the center is the Harding
park from Vine to the alley and
from Seventh TO Eighth streets. A
tentative plan has been worked out
blueprint for which was shown

of all kinds and with a building

there being buildings available now
for the use of Scouts.
Legion Volunteers
The American Legion, said Eyer.
has already agreed to sponsor the
building. and he hopes TO interest
the city and various clubs and
special groups in making possible
this community center which will
be a real cooperative enterprise.
Progress of the summers recre-
alton projects was also reported
by the speaker who outlined the
excellent results OF the softball
games organized during tn sum-
mer months Tor boys between the
ages OF ~ and is. The games viii
be continued at the city park and
Eastside fields until November.
The program will continue dur
ing the winter at EaStSide and
the high school gymnasiums, with
basketball as the sport and with
various individuals in charge OF
the games each night. In addi-
tion a baseball field on South
Fourth is practically assured said
Eyer
y. w. Ketchen, president Of
the council, expressed apprecia-
ton of the work done. the council
having backed the project when
first proposed.
w. H. Orion, chief of the divi-
sion of physical health education
of the state department OF educa-
ton who had come to Ell Centro
at the request Of interested agen-
cies to consult with them over
their recreationai problems, was
introduced and spoke on the de-
velopment of public recreation,
the increasing recognition on the
part of cities that it is govern
mental function until some 1900
have well established recreation
cities.
Sports Program
In outlining the steps in the
development of a well organized
recreation program, Orion pointed
out that the best way to begin
is with a sports program, being
the easiest to administer and one
in which interest is readily ere
ated. Nature contacts. crafts, music
may follow SO that every group
may be reached and as the pro-
gram evolves the necessity for
trained leadership will result.
"A group of boys forced to play
in the streets and which forms a
gang is not as delinquent as the
city which gives them no recrea-
tional opportunities" said Orioi.,
In conclusion.
Orion spent the day in confer
ence with authorities in El Centro
and Holtville, leaving for San Die
go Thursday night where he had
received a similar call for advice.

DOubI y Blessed, Man
Gets Bonds Twice

Norman Smith, postal employe,
was doubly blessed with bonus
bonds today. He received his
bonds twice.
His double blessing was due to
no slipup on the part of Treas
ury or postal officials, however,
but was occasioned by the fact
that Smith lost his $3.50 worth
of bonds last night on Wisconsin
Avenue.
Early today Roosevelt Scott.
colored, 33, of 4827 Forty-first
st. N. w., was waiting for a
street car on Wisconsin Avenue
near his home, when he noticed
the packet lying in the gutter.
He picked up the bonds and
took them on the street car with
him. Scott said:
Il got on the car and was
going to tea the things up be-
cause didn't know what they
were when the mOtOrman asked
me if ! was going to cash them.
Then he told me they were
