Lucy was still to Eloise Harper

Towne. Out Of place, of course, in
this fine country house, with it's for
NAL gardens, it's great stables, it's
retinue of servants.
"What do you do with your
selves?" she asked her hostess, as
she came down, ready for dinner,
in revealing apricot draperies and
found Lucy crisp in white organdie
with a band of black velvet around
her throat.

leisure. And here she was, instead,
fashionably energetic.
They fed the pigs, it seemed, &C.

Town Dependent on Glacier for Water Supply

Boulder, Colorado town, claims it
is the "only city in America-and
perhaps in the world-that owns a
glacier for its water supply"
Boulder, home of the University
of Colorado, 30 miles northwest of
Denver, and one of the gateways"
to the northern Colorado Rockies,
holds the unique position of having
an undesirable and unlimited sup
ply of water for public use, stored
up in one of natures best refrigera-
tors-the Arapahoe glacier and five
smaller companions.
By an act of congress in 1919, the
city of Boulder was given full title
to the glacier, and since that time
has built up one of the most elabo-
rate and productive water sys-
TENS of any city its size in the
United States.
Thirty miles west of Boulder,
nestled in the valley between the
North and South Arapahoe peaks,
lies the Boulder watershed-a strip
of land taken from the Roosevelt
National forest, and guarded by
heavy ;fences-comprising an area
of 5000 acres of virgin land. Within
this section lies the Arapahoe Gla-
cier and five smaller bodies of ice,
draining into nine large mountain
lakes, at an altitude of from II 1000
to $4,000 feet. The lakes have a

capacity of more than billion gal
Ions of nearly pure drinking
water in storage for use in the fu-
ture by Boulder residents.
Four 12-inch pipes carry water to
the two reservoirs overlooking the
city, passing through settling sta
tons at several points on the 49,
mile journey, so that sthe terrific
gravity pressure of the water may
be reduced.
Fire hydrants in the city normal
ly have pressure at the. nozzle of
nearly 100 pounds to the square inch.
The drop of 5000 feet in Is miles
exerts enough pressure to shoot
a stream of water over some of the
larger buildings of the city without
the use of fire-fghting force pumps.
Coming as it does from high alti-
tude lakes, the water is virtually
germ free and needs little treat
ment
Arapahoe glacier is said by geol-
ogists to be moving at a rate Of
from IL to q feet a year.

Above the desk, however, where
his eyes could rest upon it whenever
he raised them from his writing,
was an old lantern! Jane knew it
at once. 1t was an ancient ships
lantern that she and Badly had used
through all the years, heritage
from some sea-going ancestor. 1t

Since her return from Chicago she
had not been able to find it. Badly
had complained, "Sophy must have
taken it home with her." But Sophy
had not taken it. 1t was here. And
Jane knew, with certainty that
swept away all doubts, why.

During recent years, courts of
law in various states have held
that railroad cars are buildings,
asses are cattle, bicycles are ami
mails, dentists are mechanics,
death by lynching is an accident
and baseball is labor, not game
or sport. Even the Supreme court
of the United States ruled in 1881
that the airplane is not self-pro-
PEELED vehicle.
Many characters in animated
movie cartoons are drawn with
only three fingers and a thumb on

is rarely observed and saves con-
siderable time and labor.

as certain species of petunias and

day.
She spoke of it to Evans that
night. "Jane had lunch with me.
She was very tired and depressed.
I told her not to worry. It's natural
she should feel the responsibility of
the future. Marriage is serious
obligation"
Marriage is more than that,
Mother"
"What do you mean?"
ooh, it's a great adventure. The
greatest adventure. If woman
loved me, I'd want her to fly to me
-on wings. There'd be no fear of
the future if Jane loved Towne."
''But she does love him. She
wouldn't marry him for his money. +"
"No, she wouldn't" with a touch
of WEAKNESS. ''It is one of the things
I can't make clear to myself. And
I think I'd rather not talk about it,
Mother"
They were in Mrs. Follette's

comfortable herself. Jane, in bill
lowing heavenly blue with rose rib
bons floating at her girdle, was
youth incarnate. And it was her
youth that had attracted Towne.
The three women walked towards
the house together. AS they came
out from under the arbor, they were
aware of black clouds stretched
across the horizon. II hope it won't

Jane liked the idea of an out-of-

maids in their pink linen were like
rose-leaves blown across the lawn.

bank of clouds. Edith went in to
get scarf.
And so Jane and Adelaide were
left alone.
Adelaide sat in big chair with
back like spreading fan; she was
statuesque, and knew it, but she
would have exchanged at the mo-
ment every classic line for the eff
feet that Jane gave of unpremedi-
tated grace and beauty. The child
had flung a cushion on the marble
step, and had dropped down upon
it. The wind caught up her rufHes,
so that she seemed to float in a
cloud.
She laughed, and tucked her whirl-
ing draperies about her. 81 love
the wind, don't you?"
Adelaide did not love the wind. 1t
rumpled her hair. She felt spite
fully ready to hurt Jane.
''It is a pity" she said, after a
pause, "that Ricky can't dine with
u.s."
Jane agreed. "Mr. Towne always
seems to be very busy person."
Adelaide carried a little gauze
fan with gold-lacquered sticks. When
she spoke she kept her eyes upon
the fan. "Do you always call him
Mr.. Towne'?"
"Of course"
"But not when you're alone"
Jane flushed. eyes, l do. Why
not?"
"But, my dear, it is so very for
NAL. And you are going to marry
him."
''He said that he had told you"
"Ricky tells me everything. We
are very old friends, you know"
Jane said nothing. There was,
indeed, nothing to say. She was not
in the least jealous of Adelaide. She.
wondered, of course, why Towne
should have overlooked this lovely
lady to choose shabby child. But ).
he had chosen the child, and that
settled it as far as Mrs. Laramore
was concerned.
But it did not settle it for AIDE

ing for you to call him Mr.. ToWne.'
Poor Ricky! You mustn't hold him
at arms length Il
why not?"
''Well, none of the rest of us
have" said Adelaide, deliberately.
Jane looked up at her. "The rest
of you? What do you mean, Mrs.
Laramore?"

loved,' lightly.
The winds futtered the ribbons of

The peacock on the lawn uttered
discordant note. Jane was subcon-
sciously aware of a kinship between
Adelaide and the FURNISHED bird
She spoke of the peacock.
"What a disagreeable voice he
has,"
Adelaide stared. "Who?"
''The peacock" said Jane!

Wren Had Last Laugh
On Critical Councillors

Sir Christopher Wren, builder of
st. Paul's cathedral. and many
other famous churches, was part
ly responsible for the Town Hall
Of Windsor, in 1886, but the good
councillors had misgivings about
his work.
They complained to him that the
big hall had no pillars to support
it, and despite Wren's assurances
that it had been designed that
way and was safe, demanded that
supporting pillars be placed in po-
sition.
Wren agreed to do so, and had
four pillars erected. But some
years later it was discovered that
the pillars came one inch short of
reaching the ceiling.

I hope you will let US know the

I felt that these objectives could
not be reached unless this confer
ence included representatives OF all
branches Of law enforcement, public
welfare administration and the gen.
eral public. A technical job neces-
sarily, 1t Is one which must be Pcared

cials, public welfare administrators,
social workers, educators and repre-
sentative citizens, as well as those
directly engaged in parole work. to
take part in this conference.
Democracy succeeds through the
thoughtful public service of its citi-
zens. A conference of this kind is
in accord with the American demo-
cratic way.
Well-administered parole is an in
strument of tested value in the con-
troll OF crime. Its proper use in all
jurisdictions will promote our ma
tional security. If your deliberations
serve that end, as I am sure they
will, you will have rendered a very
important public service.

once before for a violation Of the
law. We have bungled in the man
ner and the method of their release.
After the necessarily strict rou-
tine of prison life it is difficult for
discharged prisoner to stand on
his own feet in the swift-running
currents of a free mans world.
Often, If he has been in prison very
long, he will have lost the habit of
making his own decisions. He US
ually faces tremendous difficulties
In finding job In many cases his
prison record cuts him off from the
friendship of law-abiding people.
These circumstances tend to push
man back to life of crime unless
we make it our business to help him
overcome them. That Is the reason
why I have long been of the opinion
that parole is the most promising
method of terminating prison SEN
tence.
Parole is the conditional release
OF an offender under expert super
vision while the State still has con-
troll over him. 1t is an integral part
OF the treatment begun the moment
the man enters a correctional in
stitution.
Parole is not pardon. When a
man Is pardoned, his crime is for
given.
Parole is not a shortening of the
sentence of good behavior in prison
This Is called good time allowance
or communication for good behavior.
and it is given by law as an aid
to prison discipline.
Parole is not probation. A person
on probation has never been sent to
prison for his offense.
Still Subject to Parole.
And, of course, parole differs from
outright discharge ON the final day
OF the offenders sentence When a
man is paroled. he is still subject
to the control OF the authorities and
he can be put back in prison with
out a formal trial if he does not
live up to the conditions of his
release.
The true purpose of parole is to
protect society-all of us-by super
vising and assisting released prison.
erS until they have a chance to get
on their feet and show that they in
tend to live law-abiding, self-sup-
porting lives.
Now. naturally, I am speaking
Of real, honest, well-administered
parole: Parole granted only after
a prisoner has shown improvement
during period of constructive
treatment and training in prison
and only after a thorough and
searching study of his case; parole

under the supervision of qualified
parole officers.
Much of the criticism which we
have heard directed at parole is due
to the fact that while As of our
States have parole laws, less than a
dozen have provided the money and
the personnel which are necessary
to operate real parole system.
Some of the criticism Is due, too,
to the fact that the parole power
sometimes has been used to grant
political or personal favors. This
combination of neglect and abuse in
the administration of the parole
power is matter of serious national
concern. How well or how poorly
a parole system operates in one
section Of the country may affect
the lives of citizens throughout the
Nation.
On the other hand, we know
from experience that parole, when
it is honestly and expertly man.
aged, provides better protection for
society than does any other method
of release from prison. That has
been shown by the operation of the
Federal parole system and in those
States which have applied modern
parole methods.
These are the reasons why asked
Attorney General Murphy to call
this National Parole Conference. AS
I wrote to him on January 25, 1899, I
hope that this conference will serve
to acquaint our people with the facts
concerning parole and clear up wide
spread misconceptions about it. Pa
role will never succeed if it is merely
Government function and does not
have the understanding and help OF
the individual citizens in every COM
munity.
Percentages Higher.
1t is especially important that
people should not be deceived by
violent attacks on properly-run pa
role administrations if one parolee
goes wrong and commits another
crime. The fact is that while
properly-run parole system gives no
guarantee of perfection, the per-
centages of PAROLES who go straight
for the rest of their lives are in
finitely higher than where there is
no parole system at all.
