 "But, MT. Monterey :" she began.
 I'm afraid you'll have to drop the formalities," he laughed. You must learn to say your lines con- vincingly. Ever think you could act?" he asked good-naturedly.
 Pats hedged. T never thought much about it." she said. But to herself she added with little sigh, Lines within lines. First I understudied for Trissy; now I'm Mrs. Monterey. Will I ever be Pats again?" For moment panic threatened her Had she con- pletely lost herself in her devious roles?

 The house where they were to spend their strange honeymoon was large and rambling. An eld- erly custodian and his wife were in charge. Don and Pats dined in state, one at each end of long table, separated by three yards of damask and six lighted candles. Don was courtesy itself but Pats knew she had no place in his thought. After dinner he found suitable table, unpacked his typewriter and set to work.

CLEARED GpEArL LAKES
 f BRITISH RuLE

A BRITISH squa dron of six IA ships, under Captain Barclay, was cruising Lake Erie during the War of 1872 and helped choke of the Americans in the northwest At Presque Isle, now Erie, Pa. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry completed building a fleet of nine ships, and, late in 1913, set off for Put-in-Bay. He was only 2S years old, but had been IA years in the navy. On his flagship Lawrence, he raised a pennani bearing the supposed dying words of Captain Lawrence, Don't give up the ship" Under this banner he went into battle.
 Against the more formidable ships of the enemy, Perry's flag ship was almost destroyed. He decided to row over to a smaller vessel, the Niagara. Under heavy fire, the dauntless leader crossed quarter mile of dangerous wa ter. The transfer rallied his men and in IS minutes Captain Barclay surrendered. The victory cleared the Great Lakes and the northwest of British rule, and hastened final

Bedtime Stories
Mrs. LongbilPs Trying Time.

! Blacksnake simply paid no attention
to her not even when she almost
brushed his nose with her wings. He
was looking for those babies, and he
kept right on looking, despite all that
their mother could do to try to dis
tract his attention.
Mr.. Blacksnke moved slowly. This
was no time for hurrying. His head
was raised and his forked tongue
was constantly darting from his
mouth. He was feeling the air with
1t. Does that sound funny? Well.
you see, Snakes tongue is very sensi-
tive to vibrations. We use our ears
TO catch vibrations; these make sound.
and SO we hear. A Snake has no
external ears and gets the vibrations
with that threadlike tongue. and sone-
how these let the Snake know about
Things much as our ears let us know
about things. You taste with your
tongue. In manner of speaking, a
snake may be said to hear with its
tongue. Some folks call that wonder
1ul tongue a stinger, and are afraid
OF 1t. 1t isn't singer. Nothing could
be more harmless.
After a time Mrs. Longbill realized
that she wasn't fooling Mr.. Black
snake IN the least, and that he knew
just what she was trying to do, and
why. Then she tried another plan.
She went off short distance and
pretended that she was on her nest
She knew that Mr. Blacksnake is
almost as fond of eggs as he is of
young birds. He just didn't pay any
attention to her. He continued to
wind this way and that, his head
Snghtly raised and his unWinking ewes
looking all about. You know, he has
no eyelids. Now and then he stopped
and raised his head higher, the better
to look around.
That was a trying time for Mrs.
Longbill. Indeed. it was. It seemed
TO her that her heart was up in her
throat most of the time. She knew
just where each of the four chicks
was hiding. Several times Mr.. Black
snake passed very close to one or
another OF them. At such times Mrs.
NoAASDiAA do dllllOSt DeSlQe nerSelf
with anxiety. She was so afraid that
that baby might move just a wee bit,
and just wee bit of movement would
surely be seen by those unwinking
eyes. But each time Mr.. Blacksnake
passed on.
Now, Mr.. Blacksnake shouldn't be
blamed for hunting for those Wood
cock chicks. He was born with
taste for little birds, just as you have
taste for roast or fried chicken. You
like. eggs, so you shouldn't blame him
for hunting for eggs, for he likes them,
too. 1t really isn't wrong for him
to hunt for eggs and young birds;
Old Mother Nature gave him an ap-
petite for such. Perhaps it is one
OF her ways of teaching the feathered
folk to be smart enough to keep their
treasures from being found. Anyway,
Mr.. Blacksnake didn't find one of
those obedient little Woodcock chicks.

I T is queer how, sometimes, in try
ing to do the right thing, we do
the wrong thing Mrs. Longbill
the Woodcock had made this mis-
take. She had done just the wrong
thing when she thought she was doing
the right thing, the smart thing. She
had discovered the approach of Mr..
Blacksnake. Instantly she had given
the hide signal to her four babies, and
as instantly they had obeyed One
instant they had been running about,
and the next instant had disappeared
as completely and mysteriously as if
the earth had opened and swallowed
them. Satisfied that her signal had
been obeyed, Mrs. Longbill had gone
to meet Mr.. Blacksnake and pretended
that she was injured and couldn't fly.
She hoped thus to lead him away in
another direction.
That was where Mrs. Longbill made
her mistake. She should have known
that Mr.. Blacksnake was too old and
experienced to be fooled in any such
way as this. She should have known
that when she gave that hide signal
Mr.. Blacksnake had not seen those

babies and was unaware that there
were any. He was slithering along
IN leisurely manner, and you may
be sure that had he seen one of those
chicks he would have darted straight
Tor it, and Mr., Blacksnake can move
fast when he wants to.
Mrs. Longbill, seeing those babies
safely hidden, should have tried to
remain unseen herself, or else flown
away. The instant she began futter-
Ing along the ground in front of Mr.
Blacksnake, as if injured, he knew
exactly what it meant. He knew that
there was nothing the matter with
Mrs. Longbill and that there were
babies somewhere around there.
1t didn't take Mrs. Longbill very
long to discover her mistake. Mr..

RADIANT LIVING
GONG AROUND IN CIRCLES
By Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

Life is a circuit. That is what oul
scientists tell us.
Investigate the atom, they point
out, and what do we find? An In
finitesimal solar system. Take for
instance, the simplest of atoms, that
of hydrogen, which consists of one
electron spinning around a proton,
like planet spinning around a sun.
What is taking place in the atom
is also taking place in the solar sys-
tenn, wherein the planets are spin
ming around the sun; and the whole
system itself is spinning around a
center too distant for us to know.
How similarly true is the life of
each one of us. There is something
central in the life of each of us
around which we are daily revolving.
1t may be the daily grind of routine
work, 1t may be the ambition fer
career, 1t may be the pursuit of
pleasure, 1t may be a devotion TO
God. Whatever 1t may be, 1t is su-
premely central in your life and
around 1t all other things revolve.
Is that central thing in your life
something small, something unheal-
thy, something with a negative pow
er, holding your life by its influence
within a very small circle?
The circuit of the moon is very
small compared with the circuit OF
the earth because it has only dead
earth exercising the supreme infiu-
ence upon its life. But the circuit Of
the earth is infinitely larger because
1t has for its center of influence a
living sun.
Select for the central influence in
your life something that is infinitely
bigger than yourself, something of
quality, something that
will fill your life with inspiration
and make possible outstanding
achievements.
When God Is the center of ones
ife, he no longer goes around in cir
lies; he travels a large orbit.

Thomas H. Mcdonald, Chief of
Public Roads, recently remarked
with reference to the wide Ave to ten
mile suburban band forming around
all large cities that 1t marked the
first step in decentralization. The au-
tomobile and suburban rail service,
he said, has allowed city workers
easily to commute so miles daily, al
lowing a more wholesome mode of
life for themselves and families. AL

Treasury officials indicate tina
taxation of investment profits will
be one of the principal questions
studied in their general tax survey
Representative Celler, Democrat o.
New York, has made public a letter
asking Secretary Morgenthau's opin'
ion of outright repeal of the capital
gains and losses section of the in
come tax law.
A general overhauling of the Fed
eral tax structure at the next ses-
sion of Congress, has been proposed
by President Roosevelt. The Treas
ury, in its preparatory study, is Civ
| ing especial attention to two points,
the undistributed earnings tax on
corporations and the capital gains
and losses section of the income tax
law.
Representative Celler urges ten
points against the capital gains and
losses section of the income tax law.
They are: l, 1t fails to distinguish
between capital and income; 2, 1t
gives insufficient allowance for net
capital losses; 8, 1t accentuates bus
mess cycles: 4, 1t deters financing of
new enterprises; 5, 1t impedes the
fiuidity of capital; 6, 1t penalties
simplification of corporate struc- |
lures; Z, 1t takes price level fiuctu- !
ations; 8, 1t soaks the poor who have |
to liquidate; 8, 1t stimulates tax |
avoidance; 10. 1t fails to produce
much revenue.
Representative Celler's letter to
Secretary Morgenthau said: 81 do in
deed hope you and the officials of
your department have now realized
the impotency of the capital gains
and losses tax as revenue prOduc-
er and the discouragement it has
been to economic recovery. We have
had the present rate since 1884. Suf-

Representative Celler is doing a

Cares of Civilization
Shun "PrimitiUe Areas

primitive areas" i'm the National
forests are well named, the Forest
Service thinks. Widely scattered over
the United States, the 67 primitive
areas preserve samples of the coun-
try as it was originally, untouched
by the complexities of modern civil
iZation. No roads OF highways en-
! ter.
There are no settlements, summer
/ homes, or resorts. Visitors must
make their way on foot or on horse
back over back-country trails, If
trails exist. These areas offer quiet,
solitude, relief from a mechanical
age, and an opportunity to observe
nature under as nearly primitive
conditions as is possible nowadays.
The largest of the primitive areas
contains more than 100000 acres;
the smallest only 5000 acres; all of
tEem together 11,322,791 acres. In
these areas are parts of the Olymp-
les, Cascades, Coast Range, Sierra
Nevada, Uintas, Continental Divide,
Rockies, and other lesser mountain
chains. One of the largest embraces
some of the lake country along the
international boundary in north Min
nesota.
mo one can foretell the degree to
which the resources of these areas
will be required to meet the future
economic and social needs of the
people of the United States" says
L. F. Kneipp of the Forest Service.
"It may be that their woods and wa
tcrs, their minerals, their wealth of
palatable forage eventually will be
needed to maintain industry and !
to afford dependent local
means of continuing |
their economic existence. But, so far
as can now be foreseen, these areas
can be maintained In
their present primitive condition,
with benefit and advantage to the
people of the United States greater
than could be realized by more in
tensive industry utilization or by
their hidden recesses
with hish-speed roads, or by encour-
aging large numbers of people to oc-
cupy them with summer homes and
related facilities.

EFFECTIVE METHODS
NECESSARY

Owing to the continental char

ness of our soil, to the skill and ac-
tivity of our laborers and engineers
and to the vast ability to create and
use wealth, we have in this country
the power to increase national. in
come to new and unthought-of
heights.
Our important problem lies In the
effective methods necessary further
to develop and use this great power.
American common sense tells us
that only by close cooperation of In
dustry and agriculture and other ell
emehts in our business picture, will
we be able to achieve what until
now Is but a promise OF our latent
and ability. From a bull
