other point Is, the people want sugar and aren't going to take a chance on being missed, even If the census enumerators didn't tag them. —o American Income Is abnormal. The war makes ft that way. To keep Inflation from ruining the country, th.- U. 8. treasury has designed a two-fold program, including high taxes and Investment In bonds. The program is solid, for if part of the large earnings are set aside for taxes and investments, the flow of money is curtailed, the d-mand for goods is curbed. Inflation. as suffered by Germany and other countries following the last war was worse than the conflict Itself. It spelled ruination for everybody. —o New Road Siqns: Governor Henry F. Bcbricker soon will issue a proclamation requesting that all travel on highways be limited to flfl miles an hour. This is five miles an hour under the previous request. Actual tests demonstrate that a reduction of speed from 45 to 40 miles an hour will add 6,000 miles of life to tires. The new requested speed limit conforms to the suggestion of President Roosevelt and the conservation campaigns being made by the American U-glon. the National Association of Motor Vehicle CominiHs'.oners and other organizations. Signs four by-four-feet are being prepared by th.- State Highway Commission to be posted on roads ‘ just outside of cities, (setters on them will read: 'Tse economy speed, eave tires, cars and lives. Do not drive over 40 miles an hour.'* The roadside messages will be signed by the Governor.- Maurice Early in Indianapolis Star. —o After The War: . Though still u "war baby." the food dehydration industry already ' shows signa of liecoming a full- ■ fledged heavyweight. It may never knock out tanning and quit k freezing. as methods of food preserva- : Hon, but don't be surprised If dehydration takes a permanent place beside these industries before the war is wen. Certainly, food dehydration is one answer to the acute shortage of shipping space and materials for containers, especially tin for cane lx hydrated foods weigh from onefifth to one-flfteenth of the fresh product, and their bulk Is reduced anywhere from one-third to onehalf. On thia basis, one big bomber could carry enough soup to provide a meal for s<MJ.ooo people. Reduced to simple terms, «!■ hydration of vegetables, fruits and meats means taking out moat of the water that nature puts Into them. The foods are "re-constitut-ed” by the simple addition of water. Dehydration is done through the application of artificial heat, circulated by mechanical means. When properly dehydrated, food in "bone dry.” That Is to nay, it contains not more than 5% water. Milk and eggs are usually reduced to powders; vegetabine to powders, slices and shreds; meats to loaves, pat ties and stews. All signs Indicate a now Indus try. permanent and promising There are even those who declare that dehydrated foods are "the bill of fare of the future.” This is perhaps an exaggeration. •till, tbe industry was gaining the accept gne- of consumers, as well as bak ere and other commercial user*, when the war began One thing seems cartein After the war the dehydration Industry will be called upon to feed the tMrtdo-strick* n countries of tbe world. — Forbes —a- ' — Modern Etiguette ts ROBERTA LEE Q.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT Out of the unused fifteen they chose two large attie rooms with a view over roof tops northward as far as Hampstead and Highgate, and it was fun to begin buying the bare necessities of furniture and utensils, searching the Caledonian Market for broken-down chair* that could be repaired and reuphoistcred, discarded shop fittings usable as bookshelves, an old school desk that showed mahogany under its coating of ink and dirt. Gradually the rooms became a home, and the entirely vacant floor beneath encouraged a kinship with roofs and sky rather than with the wall* and pavements of the streets. Towsrd* the end of September, Blampied received a quarterly payment which he chose to devote to s crusading holiday rather than to paying arrears of his borough council rate*. Having invited Smith and Paula to join the expedition, he took them for a week into rural Oxfordshire "making trouble wherever we go," a* the parson put it, though that was an exaggeration. The question of country f» >tpads wa*. he admitted, hi* King Charles'* Head—every man, he added, should have some small matter to which he attache* undue importance, always provided that he realizes the unducncs*. Realizing it all the time, Rlampled would puzzle over ancient maps In bar parlors, inquiring from villager* whether It was still possible to take the diagonal way across the field* from Planter's End to Marsh Hollow, and generally receiving the answer that no one ever did—it wa* much quicker to go round by the road, and *0 on. “I reckon you could if you tried, mister, but you’d ’ave a rare time gettin’ through them nettles." A few more pints of beer would perhaps elicit the information that "1 remember when 1 was a kid I used to go to school that way, but 'twouldn't be no help now, not with the new school where it is." Yet those, as the parson emphasized, drinking his beer as copiously m the rest, were the paths their forefather* had trod, the secret short cuts across hill and valley, tee way* by which the local man cwsld escape or intercept while the armed stranger tramped along the highroads. All of which failed to carry much weight with the Oxfordshire men of 1919, many of whom, a* armed strangers, had tramped the highroads of other countries. They obviously regarded the parson a* an oddity, but being country people they knew that men. like trees and unlike suburban houses, were never exactly the same, and this idea of unsamenes* a* the pattern of life meant that (as Blampied put it) they didn’t think there was anything very odd in anyone being a Riffe odd.

Several times th* parson spoke on village greens to small, curious, unenthusiastie audiences, most of whom melted away when he sug-gested-that there and then they should march over the xneieat ground, breaking down any barrier* that might have been erected during the past century or so: but in one village there wa* a more active response, due to the fact that the dosing of a certain path had been recent and resented. It was then that Blampied showed a certain childlike pugnacity; be clearly drived enormous enjoyment from hading a crowd of perhaps fifty person*, aanv at them youngsters •ut for a lark, through Hilltop Farm and ep Long Meadow t» th* gap m the hedge that wnsnow laced w.th fresh barbed wire.

by a mennrlng array of servants and gamekeeper*. Everything pointed to a battle, but all that finally developed was a long and wordy argument between the General and the parson, culminating in retirement by both side* and a final shout from the General: "What in blaze* ha* this business got to do with you, anyway! You don’t live here!" “And that,” a* Rlampled said afterwards, "from a man who used to be Governor of *0 many islands he could only visit a few of them once a year—*o that any islander might have met his administrative decision* with the same reU>rb—‘What’* it got to do with you? You don’t live here!’" The notion continued to please him a* he a«.J3d: "I wa* a missionary on one of those islands—till 1 quarreled with the bosses. I always quarrel with bosses... .• Gradually Smith and Paula began to piece together Blampied'* history. Born of a wealthy family whom he had long ago given up no less emphatically than they had him, he had originally entered tbe Church aa a respectable and sanctioned form of eccentricity for younger son*. Later, aven mor* eccentrically and with a good deal more sincerity, he had served as a missionary in the South Seas until his employers discovered him to be not only heretical, but a bad compiler of reports. After that he had come home to edit a religious magazine, resigning only when plunging circulation led to it* bankruptcy. For a time after that be had dabbled in polities, joining the early Fabians, with whom he never quarreled at all, but from whom he became estranged by a widening gulf of mutual exasperation. “The truth is, Smith,” he confessed, "I never could get along with all the Risera-to-Seeond-That and the On-a-Point-of-Orderers. If I were God, I’d say —Let there be Light But aa Pm not God, I’d rather spend my time plotting for Him in the dark than in holding committee meetings in a man made blaze of publieityl” Re formed the habit of talking with the two of them for an hour or so most evenings, espeeiaHy n *umm*r lagged behind and coal began to burn in a million London grates.

After he had worked all momisgl he would often set out in the afternoon with Paula on a planleu excursion decided by some chance-nsfi bus; or sometimes they would trtoM haphazardly first to the left, ihml to the right, mile after mile, ee*r4ing for books or furniture in eU, gas-lit shops, and returning law at night through the name defiM of the City. They liked th* City, the city with a capital C, and especially at dusk, when all the uaskops filled with men, a curious drmoersed within a plutocracy — silk-hatM stockbrokers buying twopenny esw while at the same table two a-week clerks drank similar e*M and talked of wireless or new bicycles or their suburban bertj gardens.
