William A. Van Duzer, traffic di-
rector, said he had received no COM
plants against the meters and feels
sure they are success"
1--WE have lots of time between now
and July l to test them," he con-
tinued. mo more will be installed
until Congress decides" He pointed
out that the appropriation was spe-
ciflc for the number and the length
of trial.
Chatham Towers, tax collector,
said the meters brought in about
$4,000 the first month of operation
A report on the second months in
come will not be available for an
other two weeks.
Police Inspectors William E.
Holmes and James F. Beckett said
they were of the opinion the viola-
tions and arrests in meter zones had
declined. They felt motorists obeyed
the meters better than signs. "I
believe the meters are working good
and I hear lots of favorable COM
ment." Mr.. Beckett said.
The American Automobile Asso-
ciation opposed installation of the
meters, but since then has made
no comment on them. Claiming to
have made an investigation prior to
installation, the A. A. A. is holding
its figures in confidence until an
other survey Is made to determine
meter effectiveness
The association claims 1t Is too
early for them to survey meter efiec-
tiveness because motorists have not
had sufiicient time to become edu-
Gated to them. However, A. J. Mont
gomery, publicity director, said
there is no solution through meters,
parked cars must be gotten off the
streets" He said terminal facilities
for automobiles must be provided.

Announcement Is Dramatic.
They have had especially note
worthy results on an experimental
golf green at College Park, DR..
DuBuy said. 1t stayed green last
summer when all the other grass in
the neighborhood was burned up.
The discovery may enable market
gardeners in the Carolinas to pro-
duce truck crops at a season when
the first vegetables now are coming
in from Florida, and Middle Atlantic
market gardeners to advance their
crops by similar time margin.
Thus far, DR.. DuBuy emphasized,
their results are confined to grass,
tomatoes and lettuce. They see no
reason, however, why 1t will not
apply to almost any growing thing.
The announcement of the discov-

Then the girl lifted her face
and spoke fiercely again.

shall we come? Don't you know
there hasn't been a teaspoon of
coal in this house for two days,
and that we've burned up all the
chairs that aren't sold to try and

you know Father hasn't had any
work for nine months, and Moth
er is sick upstairs in bed with all
the blankets we own piled around
her feet? She's getting pneu-
monia, I'm afraid, and I had to

take care of her. Don't you know
that Dad is sick himself, but he

fed? If you stay here with us
you'll have to pawn that fur coat

Suddenly the sisters head went
down again and more silent Sobs
shook her. 1t was terrible to
look upon. Marjorie felt it was
the most awful sight she had ever
seen.
Suddenly she stood back and
unbuttoned her coat, slid out of
it and wrapped it warmly around
her sister.
There! There! You precious
sister," she said softly laying her
lips on the other girls.
But her sister struggled up
fiercely, her pride blazing in her
eyes her arms f1nging off the coat.
'No!" she said, mo l won't wear
your coat even for a minute"
But Marjorie caught to togeth-
er about her again and held it
there.
Look herew she said with au-
thority. Stop acting this way!
I'm your sister and I've come to
help you! You can't fling me off
this way! And we haven't time
to fight! We've got to get busy.

purse, pulling out nice fat roll

There" she said, "go quick
and pay the bill and get the

The other girl looked down at
her hand, saw the large denomi-
nation of the bills she was hold

Then her face changed and an
other look came, pride stole slow
ly up, and the faint color that
had come into her cheeks faded,
leaving her CHASTITY white again.

Once Fine Craft Left
In Wake Of Fire
And Hurricane
Have Drawbacks, Though.
In Putting Them Back
Into Commission
By LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Mournful
reminders of the cOaStWiSe hurr1-
cane last September were the chief
impressions of a tour of the various
shipyards and yacht basins, I'M
preston heightened by the charred
remains of the marine plant on
City Island recently destroyed by
fire.
All sorts of bargains involving
craft more OF less seriously damaged
were encountered. But the at
tractive buys were mainly confined
to yachts whose owners had them
selves betrayed the cost of repairs
or which were not so seriously
damaged as to land them in the
hands of insurance companies.
Prices Are Tempting.
Prices are tempting indeed. and
they are especially SO in view of
the reputation of designers who
laid down the lines of the boats
and of the shipbuilders who brought
them into being.
In the writer's case. he accom-
panied well-known Maryland
yachtsman in seach of a schooner
for cruising on Chesapeake Bay
and elsewhere. The fore-and-after
he particularly wanted to see was
the creation Of a famous designer,
one of a famous schooner class
recalled from the bottom of Long
Island Sound, and the price was
attractive.
It was not, however, so attractive
after the melancholy remains OF
what had been a swift and proud
and beautiful craft had been viewed
In fact, from the standpoint of
the prospective purchaser, it was
out of the question.
Have Their Drawbacks.
1t is not foregone that boats taken
over by insurance companies and
offered for resale are in condition
sufficiently bad to cause buyers to
seek yachts in better condition;
but they are likely to be.
Despite the sudden advent of
warm weather, yacht yards were
bleak and deserted: windjammers
of various types were still roosting
high and dry upon the stocks, and
canvas and housings covered all
decks. But with more springlike
temperatures will see yachtsmen
eagerly faring forth to tinker with
their craft: the waterfronts will
resound with the beat of hammer
and maui, and incense of oakum
will pervade the atmosphere.
