While Ann put on her new even- ing gown-thte cardinals Ted-the maid was in the room, giving finish- ing touched to the bed. She helped Ann with the fastenings, and sud- denly the girl turned. DO you know anything about . young man by tho name Of Jaime LAird7" she asked.
 The maid smiled. 'Everybody knows him at Lake Racine. You'll find . lot of gossip in the village He's quito a lady killer, they say one of those playboys. He spends most of his afternoons at the track"
 "Track9" Ann begged.
 sThe horse room or whatever they call that dark little hole in Che village where they bet on the races that take place all over the country. It's rigged up with loud speakers, and it's just like being ak the races, they say" The maid smiled. "But it's not legal. You dive in, and dive out. They tell me it's the biggest racket since bootlegging."
 Ann recalled some talk At her ofIace in the city about the betting racket, controlled by gangster bosses. They had invaded the summer resorts because men and women on vacation are easy marks; they have time on their hands, and money to spend.
 Ann was sorry to learn thh about Jaime. "surely he rides or climbs or does something in the outdoors2 If he goes to the bet- ting room in tho afternoon, what does he do in the morning2"
 The maid said wearily, "HG watches the ticker take in tho stock ofiice. He's . rich young man."
 Ann was thoughtful when she went down the stairs to meet Jaime. But these doubts vanished when she swept through the lobby in her evening gown, Q cloak over her arm, the cynosure of all feminine eyes. Jaime was wait- ing for her at the door.
 Once shO was seated at his side in the sleek roadster, she felt eunerbly confident and at ease.
 ''You are . good-looking babe, v Jaime said, without conscious fiAt- tsry. Such simplicity in praise was becoming to . sophisticated young man. She felt that he meant it.
 Ann said little during the drive She sat, turned 90 that she could feel the cool breeze against hoE face. She was 50 gloriously hap- py. When the roadster swept up to the portlco of the Majestic hotel she ran up the steps and waited in the lobby while Jaimo parked tho car. She was aware that several heads turned to look at her.
 Jaime joined her, and they went into the bar where everyone at the Majestic appeared to be at the moment.
 Her escort seemed to know them all. Some called out familiarly, "Hi, Jaime," and invariably the men looked at Ann. After 10 or 12 of these stareB she felt self conscious, but when she sat on R high stool At the bar, with . cool drink before her she regained her poise.
 "Have another" Jaime urged shortly, and his smile was dlSarm- ing. The order was repeated and then they went in to dance.
 Ann thought that she was com pleteiy happy. She enjoyed the dancing, and she knew that to be seen with Jaime Laird gave her instant prestige. Other young men crowded about asking for dances. She began to think that she had scored . success on her first night at Lake Racine, and 1t made her 6 little giddy. Her spirits scared. All her vague ter- TOTS of being alone at the resort

MAD Dog ROped,
COWbOy Style,
By Doctor

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va. July 16.-Cowboy tactics
were used here yesterday by DR..
P. M. Chichester, county health
officer, in capturing a stray dog
that had gone on a rampage
and bitten several persons.
Notified that a vicious dog
was attacking people in the Co
lonial Village section OF the
county, Game Warden Harry
johnson went to the scene to
seize the dog. Finding the dog
in very dangerous temper,
Game Warden johnson went to
the county court for an order
to kill the dog. In the mean
time, one of the victims OF the
swapping canine had gone to DR..
Chichester with a complaint.
DR.. Chichester wanted to ex'
anime the dog, and rushed to the
scene to prevent johnson from
killing the animal.
They found the dog trapped In
the cellar of house in the 1900
block of North Eighteenth St.. and
finally had to resort to the lasSo
method to trap the dog without
being bitten.
The dog is being held at the
county property yard where DR.
Chichester Is conducting his exam
ination.
A German police breed, the dog
is believed to be the victim OF
rabies and persons bitten by the
dog are under observation by
health officers.

Farm children, the ancestors of A
merica's population a century hence,
deserve consideration at least equal to
| that the nation is now giving to its
other basic resources, the soil, Mr..
Wallace declared.
cities drain away human, as well
rs soil, fertility from the farms, and
human erosion involves thousands Of
things no one knows very much a
bout. With present population trends
100 years hence two-thirds Of the
people in this country will be descen-
dede from the fifth of the population

dicted.
Anyne interested in the long time
welfare of the nation, not merely in
the profits of particular business -
| 1886 Or 1887, must be gravely con.
cerned with the conditions under
which the farm children of the pre-.
sent and immediate future, the an
ccstors of the great majority of the
race, are to be brought up.
The responsibility CLEARLY. Is a ma.
tional one. and not confined to those
rural areas i'm which tomorrow
parents now reside. 1t is exceedingly
important that farm children learn to
kno wwhat the very basis of our
civilization is and be fully Informed
on soil problems MS well as with other
problems that have TO do with making
la joyus living.
II this end both city and country
must unite in providing opportunities
for training and development Off ON

help us in our thinking if we accept
the universe as being good for the

ciate the fact that more fully as time

we are supposed to live and that in

Morris Thompson expressed this

The fact that we are now mort
