THE Hotel Conquistador was
l. enormous, and built of
wood. They don't build them
like that any more. With its
porches, turrets, cupolas and
bay windows, it doomed up on
the sandy beach fit COM
panion-piece. as far as size
went, for the Pacific itself.
Two old men sat on the
main hotel porch-there were
three other porches above it
and looked out to sea.
Retired old man Jones
snorted, looking at the other,
surprised. over his glasses.
81 should say not. What
made you think was re-
tired ?"
81 didn't" old man Smith
said. IL was just afraid you
were. Somehow l never could
take much satisfaction I'm
talking with a man that has
retired. Maybe It's just a
prejudice, but 1 can't help
feeling that something's gone
out of a fellow, when he's re-
tired"
"Humph" Jones said-L.
R. Jones, of Franklin, Middle
West. "Me too. Talking with
a man that's retired always
makes me feel old. And I'm
too old to want to feel old"
Take this place now"
Smith saba. B. Smith OF
Stafford Village. New Eng
land. ITS full of retired
people, and look at 'em. See
that man down there on the
beach-the heayy-set- fellow
lying on his back? He'd be a
pleasant man to talk to IL he
only had anything on Gods
earth to do. He'd have been
an interesting com p a n on
back In the days when he was
In business.
HE still likes to talk about
business, and he talks well,
but everything he says marks
him for a has-been, and that
makes him kind of hang
doggy and half-hearted. L
talked to that fellow a couple
of hours one day and he's
been trailing me ever since
and I've been lodging him. 1
feel sorry for that fellow"
BOTH ON VACATION
The two old men Stacked off
in their chairs and looked
more relaxed. They were
both on vacation.
ANY time 1 retire." L. R.
Jones said, ITS going to be
because 1 have to. 1 don't
work hard any more, but 1
work. l quit when 1 feel like
it. And 1 feel like it," he ac-
knowledged, "a DANCED sight
Oftener than 1 used to-"
A. B. Smith nodded.
Yes; used to open up my
store at 1880, and close it
along about 7. As times
changed. L opened IL later and
later and closed 1T earlier and
earlier. Now 1 don't open
and close it myself at all any
more, but, by gum it's still
mine, and everybody knows
it's mine"
YES" Jones said, at sort
of keeps a fellow a member
of the congregation - keeps
him belonging. Our house,
now-my wife's and mine, it's
ours. We're going to leave 1t
to our daughter and her hus-
band. They live with us
because we want them to and
IL saves money and we're all
happy together; but the l..
X. Joneses are a lot happier
because they still own the
house. Old people have to
watch out for the danger of
feeling useless"
you're darned footing they
do" Smith said, and they
wagged their two old heads.

Most OF the vitamins, of the

SPIDER MARKS ON SKIN
What can be done for the So
called spider or sky rocket
marks on the skin?
These are due to small veins
which have dilated. They are
found sometimes on the face.
and almost invariably on the
legs which have varicose veins.
They are difficult to treat but
cause little trouble.
Dermatologists have found
that when the fine dilatations
converge towards a central
point, this may be entered with
a small needle, which DESTROYS
the entire pattern.

ness! There's not really one

The Hotel Conqistador had
a sort of weekly newsletter
that it printed for its guests
called, somewhat coyly, the
Sea Urchin. Mr.. Jones had a
birthday. He had registered,
as usual, as L. B. Jones, but
the girl who got free board
and lodging for putting to-
gether the contents of the Sea
Urchin cornered him one cool
and leisurely afternoon and
dug out of him the fact that
the inconspicuous L. R. stood
for Lafayette Rochambeau.
The Sea Urchin was printed
every Tuesday afternoon and
distributed every Wednesday
morning; one found il beside
ones breakfast plate on
coming into the dining room.
On the Tuesday night after
the interview, the L. B.
Joneses came in and Mr.. :
Jones went on up to his room,
Mrs. Jones fingered for a word
or two with the clerk, whom
she liked.
There's, going to be some
thing" he said, Gin the Urchin
tomorrow that I think you'll
be interested in. Here's an
advance copy"
NAME LEAPS OUT
Caroline Jones began read
ing the account of her hus-
bands career with mild and
quiet pleasure, when suddenly
she observed that it was
stud d d with Lafayette
Rochambeau as cake with
plums. The two unusual
names leapt out at you also
from the headlines. They
would leap out tomorrow
morning at Alpheus Bertram
Smith when he and Mary, his
wife, came in to breakfast.
They would spill the beans
the ancient silly dangerous
beans.
She thought hard. She
sighed. She didn't want to
do what she was going to do,
but-she sighed again, and
wrote a good-by note to the
Smiths. She put it into her
handbag. She was going to
leave it at the desk tomorrow
morning to be delivered after
she and her husband had
gone.
Later the Smiths came in;
Mr.. Smith went to his room:
Mrs. Smith fingered for
word with the clerk, and was
given, confidentially, an adj
vance copy of the Urchin.
Her serenity too was shat
tered by that fateful Lafayette
Rochambeau; she too thought
hard. She too then wrote a
note-to the Joneses, and left
it for delivery the next morn
ing after she and Mr.. Smith
had gone.
Came, then, the dawn; and.
much sooner thereafter than
either couple usually were
about. the Smiths and the
Joneses-simultaneously; the
Smiths out of the east ele-
vator and the Joneses out of
the west elevator, with bell
boys following behind with
luggage.

The setup of the Board of Pub

Department of Taxation, however,
would take over the administra-

There would be no change in the

If the original reorganization plan
proposed by the Commissioners does
not work successfully, they have in

provision that would give them au-

the municipal setup. 1t reads:

deem it to be in the interest of the
public good, efficiency and economy
they may abolish or create any de-
