RELIEF
FUNDS PROVIDED
81, 100000 Borrowed From
Sales Tax Receipts
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

fBy Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus As an emergency
measure to provide Immediate relief
funds for distressed cities in the
state, the general assembly last week
approved the borrowing of 81, 500, 900
from anticipated 1889 sales tax re-
ceipts, and Governor Davey approved
the measure.
This action was determined neces-
sary as the assembly for the fifth
week Of its special session continued
to null over the relief problem and
means Of solving it, and appeared to
be no nearer a definite program than
on the opening day Of the session.
Late last week, Governor Davey
had not yet affixed his signature to
the S1,000,000 welfare department
building appropriation measure ap-
proved by the general assembly,
which automatically becomes a law
June l3 without his signature.
Legislative committees again last
week failed to start hearings on a
proposed $l5,o0o,0oo state institu-
tional building measure, which has
been advocated By Governor Davey,

Speaking before the Central States
Probation and Parole Conference here
last week, Governor Davey apologized
to the delegates for the "disgraceful''
condition of Ohio penal institutions,
and told them he was ashamed of
the conditions we have here in Ohio. y
He reiterated his intention to OBJ
tain legislation in some form from
the general assembly to provide the
necessary funds for the construction
of decent, sanitary and safe build
ings for the housing of mental and
correctional cases.

BY JANE OSBORN

WNU Service.

M ARTTN DALE began his career
- as professor at the venerable
little college at Henshaw. As he
looked out of the windows of his
Office in Clifford hall across at the
elm-shaded campus, he felt con-
vinced that Henshaw would never
have much of an influence on his
life. 1t was conservative old col
lege. He had accepted the position
because it left him plenty of leisure
for the research work he had in
hand.
That was before he met Joan Gift
ford-Whose name Martin Dale re-
membered because it was that of
the founder of the out-of-date old
building in which he had his office
and lecture room. She was, he
learned, the great-granddaughter of
old Thomas Clifford, who had given
the building.
But Joan Clifford did not look the
least like old Thomas, the founder.
It was at afternoon tea at the house
of the president of the college that
Martin first met her. She ap-
preached him with fiattering eager
ness, and made the inquiries that
were usually made of new profes-
sors. Did he like HenshaW?
After the tea party was over and
Joan had departed, Martin Dale

home.
Nice girl. that Joan Clifford"
Martin Dale commented. "She
doesn't seem as if she quite be-
longed here at Henshaw-"
"Joan-Why, Joan is an institu-
ton. Henshaw would no more be
Henshaw without her than without
compulsory chapel or the freshman
cane rush"
Funny she's never married"
That's what everyone says"
said the young professor. "But /
can't dope out girl like that. She's
crazy about men. She's known ev-
cry boy in college for, well-about
ten or twelve years now, and out
OF every class about rs per cent of
them have fallen in love with her
before the end of sophomore year
and the other 25 per cent succunb
before graduation. Most of us young
professors have had our turn, too.
Fortunately, never proposed to
her. can't dope her out perfectly,
but was wise enough to realize
that She wasn't the marrying kind.
or course you get bravely over it
we all have-and then you're just
good friend"
1t was at second tea at the
presidents house that Martin Dale
realized fully that he had become
victim past rescue of the charms of
Joan Clifford.
Suddenly as Martin looked at her
she turned, blushed ever so slightly
and cast him challenging look.
AS soon as she could tactfully
manage to do so Joan deserted the
other bachelor professor and made
her way to Martin Dale who was
standing in a rather melancholy
fashion in the enormous bay win
dow Of the drawing-room.
II simply must know what you
were thinking" she insisted.
I'D like to tell you. But not
now" said Martin Dale. 'pd have
to know you a great deal better than
/ do"
''Then let's get acquainted, sug-
gested Joan. 1--WE often wondered
why you never called on me-"
Martin Dale called on Joan Gift
ford, and yet he refused to satisfy
her curiosity. After the fifth call,
after having had dinner at the house
once or twice, and tea on Sunday
afternoon and a walk through the
woods with her, he consented.
Il was wondering" he said, with
Il-concealed embarrassment, "why
you had never married. Most peo-
pie here think it is because your
heart cannot be touched, and be-
cause you have made up your mind
never to marry. Somehow I can't
believe that"
Il promised to tell you truly" she
said. well, Martin Dale: One rea-
son have never married-is be-
cause-no one ever actually asked
me to. Really, no one ever asked
me to-"
Martin Dale took Joan's two slight
wrists and prisoned them in his two
strong hands. "Joan Clifford he
said quite solemnly, twill you be
my wife?"
Martin Dale, will" said Joan.

Riding Ghost Appears

County Kildare, ireland, has its
ghost, and although the phantom is
supposed to have regular habits, no
one knows when he will appear.
Legend says that he is the earl of
Kildare and that every seven
years he rides across the Curragh,
a vast plain, on white horse shod
in silver. IE his hand he is sup
posed to carry silver cup. When
this disappears, legend states that
the race of the Fitzgeralds shall
have died out. The silver shoes, too,
have a significance, for according
to one tale the earl will return to
destroy Ireland's enemies when
they are worn off.
