Its many times better than any other system you can use and its much cheaper.

Lets step carefully. The way to do it is to map out a program of road building and then stand by it to a m.iu. If we are going back into the game we should do it intelligently and put all our cards on the table. Thais what a sensible, well thought out program will do. “■■' '' ■ i The Palm Beach aaid The Breakers hotels at Palm Beach were destroyed last night in a fire which did five million dollars worth of damage. Many people lost their wardrobes and valuables and the looters hauled away goods by the truck, load. Many | errests were made and the military authorities had to take charge under | martial law. It was a hectic night in the southern c ity where so many j millionaires and others of moderate I wealth have 1 loafed and played al! ; winter, longing for something exciting aud regretting it when it came. | That.: the way with most of ns.

• u in ii imp, ii,- j Margie and the Marquis By J. O. STECHHAN I© ti:l. Western New paper I men.) ALL tiny long uh* presided over the hot-cake plate. !n the front window of "The Greasy Spoon," pouring hatter. Her name was Margie. At least, that’s what everyone called her and she wgy the beet advertisement of the little restaurant. Just off Main street, for her cheery smile seemed to say: •‘Come on In, the cakes are floe!" And they were <>n day, ss she looked up, Margie saw an odd chap. What made him so funny waa the way he contorted Ids face to inaert a monode in his eye. Having filially achieved it. lie watched her spellbound, as she denned the hot plate of u dozen cakes at one swoop. It was a neat trick. "My word!” he applauded and then smiled up engagingly into Murgle's face. A feeling swept over Margie in that instant the like of which she had never been conscious of before. Something went momentarily wrong with her jteering-gear of the baiter, for from the spout dripped a doughy “I love V,'*" which turned speedily to a rich, affectionate brown. Another instant and the man was inside the smoky, little outing house—monocle and nil. He seated himself at the table nearest to .Margie. There he was with a stack of “hots" al- i ready steaming up into Ids face. ' Shortly, he hud another helping and still another. The waiter placed a check beside bls plate. That evidently disturbed the monocle, for It dropped from t lie man's eye. ns he suddenly realized that he hadn't a ■ cent in his pocket with which to pay. ; "Why don’t you think up somethin' , new?” harked the official ejector, who hovered in the background. .Just as , lie was on the point of making shift of the unfortunate man. Margie de ! sorted her post. "You Th him alone," she roared, ' brandishing her cake turner vigorously. "I'll pay.” “oh, your ladyship overwhelms mo." Th® man arose, reinserted his single eyeglass and booed profoundly io Margie. She had never seen anytnlng quite »<> gallant in all her life- not even on the screen. •‘Pardon me." the man continued and he handed her a card. It read: REUIXAbP ISHAM POTEET ’.Marquts of Morney Character Leads There was a great cloud of smoke, ns front a tire, over in the window, for a dozen hot cakes were burning to a cinder. Margie was oblivions of that fact, her eyes being glued to the card. Site couldn't believe that she was really awake. She had often dreamed such things, but ~ >;v"Get your things and ct-tne with me." the Marquis spoke gently. "You mean—me?” And she obeyed, as in a daze. Although there had Iwn rough scenes in "The Gren.sy Spoon.” Hit re was never such a commotion as that which followed. Sam Finkle, who owned the place, raged and stormed. He already saw complete ruin staring him in the face. As they waited on the corner for the Hollywood bus. Margie noticed for the first time that Reginald Isham Poteet had evidently turned his collar and cuffs once or twice since their last visit to the laundry. But that didn't mitter. "You're really in pictures?" she in .quired timorously. "Ya-as." he drawled. "Lovely!” Margie thrilled. "I'm sure you must be a star.” . "To prove to you that I’m not ungrateful for your assistance it wits so careless of me to come away without my money—l'm going to get you in, my girl." "Into a studio?" "Into the pictures." the Marquis of Morney spoke In his grandest m;:n ner. "Were putting on ‘The Hasher'# Romance,’ and you’re just the type the director needs to go ahead." Although they were in a public conveyance, Reginald Isham Poteet had literally to fight off the appreciative demonstration of his companion. She ( too was grateful; for the whole world was fair and rosy. And now they were before fho mysterious portal that opens into Fairyland—otherwise known as the studio gate. A crowd was reading the typewritten notice that hnd just been tacked up. It said something about the place being "Closed by Order of the Court." That was enough for Margie. She didn't have to read further, for her feminine Intuition got the full Import of It quick. "Just my lurk.” she sighpd. Her companion excused himself—"to investigate,” he said. After waiting hopefuly for his return all morning, th® girl started bark to "The Greasy Spoon.” It had been a pleasant outing anyway, though a disappointing one. “Who knows but wh©t the Marquis may get hungrv again some day and show up outside my window?” Margie consoled her«elf.
