PROMISE BETTER EXPRESS SERVICE Shippers Told to Be Patient During Present Period. Relief from the present congested railway express situation Is promised shippers In a short time. C. W. Latimer, in charge of the Indianapolis office of the American Express Company, said today, in a statement, that now efforts are being made for the betterment of conditions. He asks that shippers be patient, referring to reorganization and rerouting as contributing causes to delays. “Now that the American Railway Express Company is operating nnder Its iwra management,” said Latimer, “we are gradually returning to notrmal condttlens and are Introducing a great many changes In methods, which we expect will, within a reasonable time, show results satisfactory to shippers. “We haTe already accomplished much since the time of the merger in 1919, aud the service is generally considered good. “It is out of the question to consider what some people call the ‘unscrambling' of the American Railway Express without greatly unsettling the whole express business and doing more harm than good to the shipping public. “The present company is an organisation that took over the business of the seven formerly separate companies and consolidated their working forces Into a unified operating agency of 100,000 men.” The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL S. DCFFEK. ■ ' Bachelors and Etiquette In the minds of some persons bachelors are more or less beyond the pale of conventional etiquette. This Is especially true of the American point of view, for here social matters are left much more largely to women. No one expects a bachelor to pay party calls. Men never do any way unless their wives or sisters or mothers lead them to It Except in fashionable society, the bachelor who leaves cards of courtesy on all the friends of social set once a year Is re re. Some of us seem to agree with Franklin that “bachelors are a nondescript in human society, like the odd half of a pair of shears, of little use until Joined to its mate." It will be. recalled that in colonial New England bachelors were especially taxed, and that the puritanical legislators stipulated that every bachelor should either live with his family <r attach himself to some family whose duty It should be to see ;bnt he attended meeting on Sunday with certain regularity and otherwise to watch over his behavior. Apparently then, as now, bachelors were supposed to bo the class of persons most Indifferent to social regula tions and requirements. At the present time, however, especially in large cities, the man who is not married is coming to be regarded a* a more responsible sort of person. In fact, ther" Is a social code of etiquette especially devised and applicable for the unmarried man. If he wishes to have the comfort* ot his own home be may kfep house and he may entertain his friends in bis home—but all this has to be done with a certain conformity to convention ot he is Just as much criticised as is the woman who defies convention. —Copyright, 1920.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By ANN LISLE.

CHAPTER 111. (Copyright, 1920, by King Features Syndicate. Inc.) Tonight Jim insisted that any properly indulgent bridegroom ought to give his little sweetheart-dear one glimpse of giddy society, and so he would take me to the wonderful upstairs dining room. I wish we hadn't gone—l wish, almost we had never even come to this lovely little manor-house. I was so happy this afternoon—l wonder if I was too happy ? We had a little corner table and my boy ordered such a Just-right dinner. Cantaloupe and chicken en casserole, with fresh garden vegetables and hearts of lettuce with Russian dressing, and strawberry shortcake. I was happy right straight through the chicken aud pens and carrots and beans —happy right up to the lettuce hearts. Suddenly two women came to a nearby table—one was a shadowy little creature I could hardly pick out from her background. The other was a tall, stately woman in a loose coat of Jade green. She flung it back across her chair, and her dress was of silvery satin, but the little hat set on her shining black balr was Jade green. She was the most stunning, self-possessed woman I have ever seen. In a restaurant where she was the only woman without a masculine escort she received more respectful attention from waiters ami captains than gome of the women whose escorts looked like the solid structures on Wall street, of which they probably owned a part. It seemed to me that Jim studied her rather anxiously. Just at the strawberry shortcake stage Jim exclaimed: “Well, who'd know her in that getup? liut I'll wager it’s Betty Bryce!” “Do you want to go over and speak to her dear?” I asked, trying not to feel that the question was momentous. “No; if she wauted me she’d send for tne. And we're sure to meet again. I never like to intrude on Betty—unless I feel she wants me.” “Who is she, Jim?” Her beauty, her self-possession, Jim's awe set my heart to thudding strangely. It seemed to nie vital that I should know who this beautiful woman was. I heard my voice rise on an eager note as I questioned my husband. “Careful, dear—they’re rather close. I

wouldn’t want to have her hear me discussing her.” I felt rebuffed —and more curious than ever. I couldn’t finish the rest of my wonderful shortcake. I couldn't keep myself from turning to look at the beautiful woman whose little shadowy companion seemed to be eyeing me malignantly. Out In the fragrant, quiet paths between the hedges perhaps I eau steel iny heart against Its terrified questionings— I shall be alone with my boy. I wonder if being alone with me would always satisfy Jim—or would he get restless? Will Jim ever want women like, Betty Bryce in his life again? Oh, I want to be happy and at peacel I want to stop thinking about that beautiful woman In the jnde green coat. Oh, I've been married only four days and yet am I suspicious and jealous already? But I feel as if I could never rest until I have an answer to the question. “Who is Betty Bryce?" Oh, Anne Harrison, Anne Harrison, how ashamed Barbara Lee would of you! (To Be Continued.) Indicted Coal Men to Be Brought Here L. Ert Slack and Dan W. Simms, special assistant United States district attorneys appointed to handle the coal probe, are today in Cleveland, 0., conferring with District Attorney Wirt* in regard to the removal of Ohio coal men arrested tinder an Indictment returned against 126 coal operators and miners returned by the federal grand jury iu Indianapolis, Hard Luck Burglar Uses the Skylight A burglar gained entrance to the Bright & Son Company, 111 South Meridian street, some time Inst night by way of the skylight. John Bright said that the cash drawer in the*office of the company was ran sacked, but no money had been left there. Papers were thrown about on the floor, but nothing was missing. Motor Policemen Holder and Landers were told.
