Lew Gordon came stumping across
the corral of his little Miles City
house, his spurs ringing at every
stride. His big hands, rope-hard-
ened and thickened at the knucklcs,
swung loose at his sides; but his
face had the look of man beset.
Opening the back door of the
house he sent a great roar through
the walls-"Jody! Jody, where are

She answered him, ard Lew Cor
don went to find her.
what's the meaning Of this?" was
his greeting as his daughter came
running to him through the house.
You were supposed to stay in Ogal-
lala!"
Jody threw her arms about his
neck and pulled his head down TO
kiss him; but Lew Gordon was not
to be put off.
THAT horse wrangler just brought
me word that you was here" he
SAID. There's a pretty kettle of
soap, when some horse wrangler
knows more about where q mans

Dad, will you please sit down?

Topped into chair, jabbed his spurs
into the floor at long range, and

A spark leaped into Lew Gordon's

 A mighty cheer went up from the multitude jamming the broad plaza and deafening applause continued when Roosevelt stepped from the white -pillared pavilion and began his brief inaugural address, which was. in effect, sermon on the glories of democracy. A
 Glories of Democracy

 Now at Work
Census Report on Employ ment DisCIoses Some
 Startling Figures
By MORGAN M. BEATTY
 AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 A new census report on employment discloses the startling fact that every fourth American woman over IA years of. age is a wage earner, or wants to be one. The total is nearly 13,000,00O.
 This phenomenon in our labor force is no odd bit of information for a radio quiz. It actually may be changing our way of life.
 The number of women holding jobs today is equal to the total number of women in the nation in 1870. In those days it was unlady- like to work. But. to survive, 10 percent of the women, or about L. 900.O0O, had to work for wages in 1870.
 The shifting economic force of women has been slow through the years, until the last decade. In 1850, less than IT percent of all women were working for a wage envelope.
 Take Your Choice
 Ask Census Bureau officials what the sudden step-up in employed women means, and they'll give you answers which indicate that this
