AMONG THE THINGS the mayor did not find in his Ohio tour was a $175,000 garbage plant for the loss of one-third of which the insurance companies paid less than SIO,OOO. ARE WE TO UNDERSTAND that the international balloon racers are not to get gas because it is a waste of material or because the speedway managers did not consult J. Dorsey Forrest first? THE ATTITUDE of ease that marks the office of the mayor appears to have spread to the hospital switchboard, with the result that a hurry call for an ambulance was finally transmitted by motorcycle.

Why Disdain Nature? Stretching across the northern part of Indianapolis from the extreme east side to White river Fall creek offers to the citizens an aquatic opportunity that* ought to have the most careful consideration before the municipality spends a fortune in constructing municipal swimming pools. The gravel bed of this creek, the wide, sloping banks which the-park board has developed, the playgrounds in its vicinity and ease of access from all directions are invitations to water sports. Is there any good reason why Fall creek should not be made the municipal swimming pool of Indianapolis? Is there any reason why the beautiful boulevard lights that cast their soQgned rays over its water at night should not be reflected from the polished paddles of happy canoe lovers? Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent in beautifying Fall creek. Boulevards stretch along its banks for miles. Its channel is held in places with retaining walls that do credit to the architects, who designed them. At intervals there are landing places reached by artistic and graceful flights of steps. Was it intended that all this money should be expended merely to define the course of a stream of poison such as could as well be covered with concrete and hid from view? Bathing in Fall creek was a happy pastime in Indianapolis once. It could be made a delightful recreation today. The pollution of Fall creek that makes it3 waters dangerous will some day have to be prevented. What Is dangerous today for bathers will continue to be dangerous for the whole community. Can Jndianapolis long continue to beautify the hanks of a stream of sewage? Would it not be more logical to spend the money necessary to keep Fall creek clean and thereby provide unlimited natural bathing facilities than to permit Fall creek to remain a sewer and create bathing places elsewhere?

Buncoed Again? The doubts raised by lawyers and others as to the effectiveness of the new “blue sky law’’ passed by the last special session of the legislature ought cot to be permitted to linger long in the public mind. This law is either a protection to the citizens against the purveyors of worthless securities or it is a great help to barnacles who fasten on the citizenry. If it is a protection to the investor it ought to be known as such and rigidly enforced. If it is an aid to the crooked security salesman it ought to be repealed at once. < Since immediate repeal is not possible the next best thing is a general warning to investors that the law does not protect them. Before this law was passed we were assured that under its provisions the investor would be protected from fraud. After its passage Gov. Goodrich assured U3 that it would be a protection against crooked salesmen. The governor owes the state more definite assurances on the subject. He should either declare that it is not possible under its terms to protect the state against crooked securities or he should assume the responsibility that attaches to its enforcement. To permit Indiana investors to place their money in securities that are not Bound but the sale of which is countenanced under a law purporting to be their protection is nothing short of a crime.

Some Possibilities A recent invention in the field of telephony is a scientific device that makes it possible to conduct three different conversations over the same telephone wire without interference. It is estimated that by its use the capacity of present telephone installations may be nearly tripled without an apperciable increase in the amount of wire and poles to he strung. Meanwhile, wireless telephony is malting remarkable strides. At th§ experimental station in Newfoundland this week, songs sung in England were distinctly heard. All of which leads one to believe that if the Indiana Bell Telephone Company does not make some progress soon in the betterment of Its service in Indianapolis it might as well give up the ghost It is not beyond the realms of possibility that this generation will see the gradual displacement of the present telephone system with some invention that does not depend upon rate manipulation for service. It does, however, seem beyond the realms of possibility for the local telephone company to connect you with the desired number in less than two to three attempts.

How About It? Will someone of Mayor Jewett’s partisan friends who are always ready with an explanation of his conduct kindly advance some reasons why the mayor of Indianapolis should be touring the state of Ohio investigating the “Harding sentiment’’ instead of staying at home tending to the pressing business of this municipality? Certainly it can not be said that the mayor is absenting himself from the city because there i3 nothing for him to do as mayor. For example, there Is the trouble over the stabling of mules on the south side which urgently needs the attention of someone in the city administration. There is also the question of street car service which Dr. Jameson says is likely to deprive us of transportation before winter. There are, in fact, more unsolved problems of a municipal nature now pending in the city of Indianapolis than there ever were. Yet the mayor finds time to tour Ohio investigating the “Harding sentiment.” His friends owe it to the public of Indianapolis to tell whether or not this tour was made Jm the touring car illegally purchased for his personal' use with funds illegally drawn from the city treasury.

A Question of Age This is no brief for the beauty parlors, nor the beauty specialists. For what mere man could express a coherent, comprehensive and convincing opinion of the wonders they perform? But from time to time and from place on place have come stories as to what effect, pro and con, will be produced by the insistence that women must, before being permitted the privilege of the vote, tell their age —their whole age. From time to time and also place on place have come stories to the effect that this age requirement will sort of Jim the inclination of many of the feminine fairest, to cast their ballot or Ttggle down the lever beside the rooster, the eagle or whatever emblem proves most seemly in their eyes. / But as yet there apparently has been no suggestion that in the case of women some sort of political special dispensation might be granted, in view of the old saying, in effect, that a woman is only as old as she Hooks. That was the thought which impelled the opening paragraph of these few remarks. Carrying on the possibilities contained in this suggestion which has not been made —might it not some time be possible to have such legislation that fair prospective voters who preferred not to discuss the matter of years, have, Instead, a fair, not rough, estimate of their years by their appearance—some staid, old, bald-headed, family man to officiate as guesser in each ward or precinct.

poses, we should uot, in all probability, have been able to throw our deciding strength into the balance and win the war. Any attempt to discredit the federal operation of railroads during the years of grave emergency is unfair. In the case of those who know the facts it is insincere. Too much can not be said In praise of those who directed this work, nor of the men who pkysieally operated the lines under the discouraging conditions of poor equipment. But all of this is water over the wheel.

The problem of the railroads is still with us. The government and the publin should render every co?peratlon in the utmost good faith, o give thorough test to private ownership. The railroads have had their lesson. Government regulation Is accepted now as tfiot ouly a safeguard to the public, but as a conserving process to the utility. Financial credit Is necessary to physical rehabilitation and it should be sufficient for the periods of maximum demand. We should not lose sight, however, of the vast possibilities of supplementary service by water. The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence navigation project, particularly, should claim the interest of the government. About one-third of our states would bo supplied with an outlet for every ton of their exports. The opportunity to rnakq of the lake harbors , great ocean ports of entry is inspiring to contemplate. In tbo crop-moving period, call on tbo raiirouds is staggering. Grain piles up in the elevators. With stagnation more or less general, the farmer sells his product under the most unfavorable conditions. The trackage and the terminals in middle states particularly, are clogged with this traffic and interference with local movements of freight is inevitable. The solution woulu be by utilizing the waterways. Aside from this, the accruing gala from every crop would boa consideration for the reason that the price of grain in this country is made by the Chicago market and it is determined by the London quotations. The price In the British metropolis la a stated figure less the cost of transportation. The routing of these commodities by water would etfeet a saving of approximately 8 cents a bushel, which means that American grain would net just that much more.

G. O. I\ BLOCKED MONEY REFORM FOR FORTY VKAKK. For more than forty years before Woodrow Wilson wns elected president lu 1912 a reform of our banking and currency system had been almost uni versaliy-demanded and Bad been year pfter year deferred or refused by the srand-pnt element of tin- republic!r. party in obedience to orderr. The control of money and interest rates bad long beep held by favored group, who wer thus able to dominate market.--, regulate prices, favor friends, destroy rivals precipitate and end panics him Iti soon through their financial, soiiuami political outposts, be the real niters of America, The federal rcterve set was originated, fcavorated and made a law by a demo <Tatie president aud congress, again*! the bitter protests of the rspublieau etand-pattqr.s, who almost without exception voted against it. Among there men are the familiar names of beuatot* Lodge, Penrose and g-uiont, the inside senate cabal rerpotimble for the exist instates in tho leadership of their party.

THE GB LATENT FACTOR YA AM THE MARSHALLING INTO ONE t NIT THROUGH TIIE FEDERAL REFERAK BANKS OF THE BTI I‘KNDOI 8 WEALTH Or AMERICA. To those of virioit who look out be yond our shores into that coinuien tal domain where we are o Justly entitled to enter in a time of peace, latent power of the federal reserve system can lie seen promoting in every quarter of the glb an ever-widening flow of American commerce AVe wilt noon have a merchant marine fleet of 11,(ion,000 ‘tons aggregate, every ship flying the American flag and carrying In American bottoms the products' of uiiil amt mine and factory and farm. This would accui to be a guarantee of continued prosperity, fur fuemti*s for exchange and credit, however, in foreign parts, should be enlarged and under the federal reserve system, bangs should be established in important trading centers. I am impressed also, with the importance of improving. If not reorganizing our consular service. The certain increase in foreign trade wo Id seem to demand It. This suggests another change. Our ambassadors to foreign countries have hud assigned to tlKm a military and a naval attache. The staff should be enlarged so as to include an officer of the government whose exclusive duty would be to wake observation and report development, nnd Improvement in educational and social problems generally.

FEDERAL. Ul REAL'S NEED NEW METHODS. Government bureaus during the war lad close contact with the business orgauUatiou of the country. That experience revealed the modern need of reorganization along along purely business lines. The advantage of a democracy in government need nut bu recounted, it has been held by experts that It involves* the disadvantage of diaburaeuienta, authorized bv the law-making power without sufficient luiowledge of the need of the service, or the possibilities of extravagance. The answer to this Is the budget system. No successful business enterprise of any size can operate without It. For a hundred years, the federal unit, and the states as well, made approprv. tions without determining the difference between department need and caprice, si the same time, paying little attention to ihe relation as between income and expense. Many of the states have adopted a budget system, and with a snceess that larrles no exception. Efficiency has been improved departmental responsibility has been centered, and economies have been effected. The same can be done by the federal government. The system will

reveal at once, as it did In the states, a vast, surplusage of employes. It awakens individual interest, ehcourages greater effort, and gives opportunity for talent to assert itself. The normal course of lea* resistance, develops in government bureaus a hardpan, which retards progress. When the- reorganization is made, pay should be commensurate with service. Many federal departments whose rammcations touch the country generally, hav* lost valuable men to business. This has badly crippled postoffices, the railway mail service and other branches. i am convinced after considerable stiudy of tlie subject that the expense of the government can, without loss of efficiency, be reduced to a maximum sinking fund and Interest on the national debt. When wo enter the league of nations, should at the same time diminish our cost for armament. To continue expenditures in either the war or the navy departments on a vast scale, once our membership iu the league is assured, would seem to be a very definite refutation of the advantages of the world plan which we believe it possesses. An appealing fundamental in tbo league method, is the reduction of armaments/ We can not afford to do it, until other nations do likewise. If we do not enter the league, hundreds of millions of dollars must he spent for armaments. If we go in, and I believe the people will insist on it, then we can count on economies. VICTORY IGNORED BY REPUBLICANS. Since tiie last national conventions of the two great parties, a world war' has been fought, historic, unprecedented. For many, many months, civilization hung 111 the balance .In the despair of dark hours it seemed as though a world dictator was inevitable, and that heueeforth men and womeu who had lived in free d.om would stand at attention, in the face of the drawn sword of military autocracy. The very sou] of America was touched as never before with a fear flint or • liberties were to be taken away. What America did, needs no reiteration here. It is known of ai! men. History ; will acclaim it—poets will find it an; inspiration throughout the ages. And j yet there is uot a lino iu the republican \ -platform that breathes an emotion of : pride, or recites our/ national achieve -; merit. In fact, if a man from Mar* were; to depend upon the republican platform or Ha spoken interpretation, by t:bv candidate of that party, as hie first, means of information, he would not find a syllabi® telling him that tire war bad 1 been won and that America had saved the world How ungenerous, how ungracious all of this Is; how unfair that a tuero group of leaders should so demean themselves In the name of tho party of Lincoln and McKinley and Roosevelt.

The discourtesy to Cue president is an affair of political intrigue. History will make it odious. As well might it be directed at a wounded soldier of the war. One fell in tbe trench; the strength of the other was broken iu the enoromous labors of his office. But others were ignoied the men and women who labored at home with an Industry and a skill that words can not recount I AVbat of the hands that moved the lathe by day aud the needle by night? What of the organizations, superbly cffe tive, that conserved food nnd fed the world-t-that carried nourishment to tl*e very front

If further proof were needed, the action of the present congress supplies It. Not a

constructive law can be cited. Money and time wpe wasted In seeking to make a military triumph an odious chapter In history—and yet Is It not significant that after two years of sleutbful inquiry, there was nothing revealed tn that vast enterprise, csrrylug billions of dollars in expense, upon which they could h*e even a whisper of dishonesty. I I v ALLY BFKB BDYIE HOPE IN MEXICO. the Mexican situation, trying to our patience for year*, begirt* to show sign* of Improvement.

Many clement* have made our repub lie enduring; uot the la*t of which is n sustained gratitude. The richest traditions of our land are woven from historic thread* that tell the bravery of our soldiers of every war.

Never in nil time will the performance of our soldiers in the isto war bp *ur- ] eased. Front farm, forest and factory they gathered together iu the training camps—from countryside snd city -men whoso bands were calloused by labor, others whose shoulders showed the stoop of office task the blood of many nations flowing in their veins—and the same impulse ran from the front trench in Europe back lo the first day in train--1 fvo must not forget that war break* into Ibo plans of young me®, and their first chart of lira is in a sense more important than any calculation later on. In college and shop—ln every calling, they were building the hase for their careers. Thousands of them by the circumstance of Injury or the disturbance of domestic condition* which war always bring*, were compelled to change their whole course of life.

We owe a debt to those who died, and to those the honored dead left dependent. Wo owe a debt to tho wounded; but wo must realize that considerable compensation is duo 1 hose nlso who lost much by the break in their material hopes and aspirations. The genius of the nation’s mind and the sympathy of Its heart, muat inspire intensive, thoughtful effort, u assist those who saved our all. I feel deeply that the rehabilitation of the disabled soldiers of the recent war la one of the most vital Issues before tho people and I, as a candidate. pledge myself and my party te those young Americans to do all lt my power to occur® for them without unnecessary delay, the immediate training which is so necessary to fit them to compete in their struggle to overcome that physical hundhap incurred while in the service of their gov eminent.

I believe also that the federal hoard of vocational rehr.bjlltstlon ns far as possible should employ disabled soldiers themselves to supervise tho rehabilitation of disabled soldiers, because of theti known sympathy and understanding. The board itself and all agencies under iv should he burdened with the care of securing for tho disabled soldier who has finished his traiuing, adequate employment. These men will inspire futurs

generations no loss than they have them selves been inspired by the heroes of the past. No greater force for patriotic effort was found when we were drawn Into the late conflict than the example and activity of our veterans of previoua wars. Under the colors they loved gathered tlje soldiers of the past, bringing quickly to their support the new army of tho republic. Response in the southland by veterans who wore the gray Inspired the youth with a zeal which aided greatly in tbe quick mobilization of our forces. FAYS TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN WOMEN. lbo women of America, In emotion and constructive service, measured up during the war to every requirement, and emergency exacted much of them. Their Initiative, their enthusiasm, and their sustained industry, which carried many of them to tho heavy burdens of toil, form an undying page in tho annais of the time, while the touch of tho mother heart in camp and hospital, gave a sacred color to the tragic picture that feeble words should not even attempt to portray. They demonstrated not only willingness but capacity. They helped win tho war, and they are entitled to a voice in the readjustment now at hand. Their Intuition, their sens** of the humanitarian in government, their unquestioned progressive spirit will bo helpful in problems that require public Judgment. Therefore they are entitled to the privilege of voting as a matter of right sod because they will be help - fat. In maintaining wholesome and patriot policy. It requires but one more state to ratify the national amendment and thus bring a longdelayed justice.

It is the conception of the presidency to which, tn case of success of the democratic parry in the coming election, mv own beet effort* shall be dedicated, with a solemn sense of responsibility to the power above, to the people of the United Stales as a whole, and to the sacred oath of allegiance to tho constitution and the lows.

Judgment, under oath, 111 tbe performance of those duties. There must be an awakened interest In education. The assumption that things are all right is an error. There is more or less of a general idea that because our school system generally is satisfactory, and In most Instances excellent, that sufficient progress is being made. The plain fact reveals two startling things, one, a growing decimation in tbe ranks of teachers and the other, the existence of five and one-half million Illiterates. It In true that 1.000,000 of these are foreign born. The army of Instructor* has been more or less demoralized through financial temptation from other activities which pay much better. We owe too much to the next generation to be remiss In this matter. Very satisfactory progress la being msde In several states in tbe teaching of native boru illiterates. The moonlight school in Kentucky has, In fact, become a historic institution. The practice has spread into other commonwealths, and bands of noble men and women are rendering great service. There should be no en-‘ croachruent by the federal government on local control. It Is the healthful, reasonable Individualism of American national life that has enabled the citizens of this republic to think for themselves, and besides, state and community initiative would be Impaired by anything approaching dependence. The central government. however, can Inventory the possibilities of progressive education, and in helpful manner create n enlarged public interest In this subject. NO ATTEMPT AT "DOLLAR COMPETITION." There will be no attempt tn this campaign to compete by dollars with our opposition.

REWARDS Q. Are rewards paid for information leading to the location of robbers of postoffices? D. O. C. A. The postoffice department aeys that rewards wilt be paid for the detection, arrest and conviction of postofflce burglar*, robbers and highway mail robbers. HOYY TO GET ANSWER. Q. I have sent; you three letters asking questions which have not been answered. YY’hat is the reason? A. P. A. A. Probably these letters were signed with Initials, as the present one was. Only questions whose answers may seem of general Interest are published, while thousands of answers are sent personalty to Inquirer*. This necessitate* the receipt of full name, address and 2 centa in stamps for return postage.

HE'S OLD ENOUGH. Q, Bine® tho United States constitution .require* a man to bo 45 years old in order to he president, could Franklin Roosevelt, who Is but SS, succeed Cox if h® were elected and did not serve out his term? A. L. P. A. The constitution requires that a man bo 35, not 45, In order to bo eligible to tho office of president. Theodora Roosevelt, our youngest president, was 42 when inducted Into office. EASTERN POPULATION. Q. Does one-fourth of tha population live in tho eastern part of the United Stutes ? R. T. A. Over a third of the population ot the country lives In the northeastern section of tho country, comprising New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, although this section contains but 8 per cept of the area of the United States.

illegitimate in political campaigns. One contemplates the organization and maintenance of such facilities as are necessary to advise the people of the facts bearing upon the issues; the other carries the deliberate purpose to interfere witn the honest rendering of a verdict. Hoff misguided some of our people are. Recognizing that readjustment must be made, they believe that they will fare better if they cast their fortunes with those with whom they dealt on the base of campaign contributions in days gone by. They do not sense tfce dangers that threaten. The sort of readjustment which will appeal to our self-respect and ultimately to our general prosperity, is the honest readjustment. Any unfair adjustment simply delays the ultimate process and we should remember the lesson of history that one extreme usually leads to another. We desire industrial peace. We want our people to have an abiding confidence in government, but no readjustment made under reactionary auspices, will carry with it the confidence of the country. If I were asked to name in these trying days the first essential overshadowing every other consideration, the response would be confidence in government. It would be nothing less thin a calamity if the next administration were elected under corrupt auspices. There is unrest in the country; our people have passed through a trying experience. The European war before it •ngulfed us, aroused every racial throb .n a nation of composite citizenship. The conflict in which we participated cat ried anxieties Into every community and thousands upon thousands of homes were touched by tragedy. Tbe inconveniences incident to the war have been disquieting; the failure of the republican congress to repeal annoying taxes has added to our troubles. TURN HOPEFUL EYES TO FUTURE. The natural impulse is to forget the past, to develop mew interests, to create a refreshened and refreshing atmosphere in life. We want to forget war and be

CHAPTER LV. Once upon a time 1 learned a quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson. It returned to me no*'. "So long as we love, we serve; so long as we are loved by someone I would almost say that we are indispensable and no man is useless while he has a friend.” But I hadn’t a friend In ail the City—ated I hadn't served Neal. J3o I was Just about useless. Those were ugly gray moments I spent leaning against tbe refectory table staring at tbe closed door beyond which Neal was telling Jim the secret from which I, his sister was shut out—and shut out because of my own stupid failure to see that Neal was In dead earnest and not an excited boy maundering about his promotion and his "crushes.” Suddenly, In very shame, I tore myself from my te'i-tale position and fairly planted myself in a chair across the room. After all, If Neal had needed me—had actually wanted to confide in me—he would have made another effort. No, he preferred to go to Jim. No one needed me. "So long as we love, we serve.” Well—whom then was I serving? Not Neal. Not Jim. either, for if there was indeed the gambling fever In his blood, I didn't know how to stlil it. Jim and Neal-—my two boys—were together In the other room. I was outside alone. All :ny efforts to bring them ciose lad never availed. But when they needed each other they fountj each other-gravi* bated together without me. v "No one wants me. No one needs me. I don’t even know how to help my husband. I'm useless—and alone,” I told myself, and sat motionless—beyond niee tears. From far sway a voice came to me. But I was so numb with pain that I couldn't bring myself to respond. I Just sat there.

TELESCOPE LENSES. Q. Are satisfactory telescope lenses made in the United States. A. C. 8. A. Before tho world war practically, all the optical glass used In this country came from Germany, but its manufacture has now been undertaken successfully in this country, a twelve-inch disk is on the market, and others, including a forty-inch disk, will soon be an sccompilshed fact. SALTATION ARMY. Q. la the Salvation Army incorporated? x. T. A. The Salvation Army is Incorporated. CHRISTOPHER CROWFIBID. Q. Who was Christopher Crowfield? E. R. O. A. This was a pseudonym which was occasionally used by Harriet Beeches Stowe. LOST SUBMARINER. Q. What was the total number of submarines lost by the central powers? C. F. M. A. Germany lost 203 anbmarlnes and Austrta lost twenty. BANANA?. 0. How do bananas compare with vegetables and other fruits for food value? M. S. L. A In calories, bananas yield about 460 to the pound, which is higher than any other fresh fruit. It Is approximately the same as green corn. Compared with potatoes, the analysis is nearly the same, bananas being somewhat higher In fat and lower in protein, also slightly higher in carbohydrate. WALL STREET. Q. Does the expression “Wall street” embrace more than Wall stree itself? C. S. hA. Wall street has come to mean the entire financial district of New 'York City. Broad street has become even more important than Wall street as the location of financial and stock market affairs, since the stock exchange, curb market and consolidated exchange are all on Broad street.

We want happiness In the land, the feeling that the square deal among men and between men and government is not to be interfered with by a purchased preference. We want • \ change from the old world of yester- 1 day where international intrigue made tbe people mere pawns on the chessboard of war. We want a change from the old industrial world where the man who tolled whs assured “a full dinner pail” as his only lot and portion. But how are we to make the changel Which way shall we go? We stand at the forks of the road and must choose which to follow. One leads to a higher citizenship, a freer expression of the individual and a fuller life for ail. The other leads to reaction, the rule of tbe few over the many and the restriction of the average man’s chances to grow upward. Cunning devices backed by unlimited prodigal expenditures will be used to c-onfuse and to lure. But I have an abiding faith that the pitfalls will be avoided and the right road chosen. The leaders opposed to democracy promise to put the country “back to normal.” This can only mean the socalled normal of former reactionary administrations, the outstanding feature of which was a pittance for farm produce nnd a small wSge for a long day of labor. My vision dees not turn backward to the “normal" desired by the senatorial oligarchy, but to a future iu which all shall have a normal opportunity to cultivate a higher stature amidst better environment than that of the past. Our view is toward the sunrise of tomorrow with its progress and its eternal promise of better things. The opposition stands In the skyline of the setting sun, looking backward, to the old days of reaction. I accept tbe nomination of our party, obedient to tbe divine sovereignty of all peoples, and hopeful that by trust iu Him the way will be shown for helpful service.

But to myself, I made a breathless vow: "So long as I live X will never ask what the secret is that Neal and Jim have. So long as I live I won't pry, They’ve shut me out Well—they shall see that I can accept even that with dignity.” Maybe marytrs look foolish to othef people. Nevertheless, they suffer. I can bear witness to this—they suffer tortu res. And now the closed door opened, and in came Jim and Neal—together. "Well, little * dreamer, how about dinner?” demanded Jim. His tone was Jovial enough, but it had the insistence of a hungry man when mealtime comes. I came back to earth and 7 o’clock with a start. There was not a single thing ready. "■ 1 ha fi forgotten all about dinner. The worst of it was that this was the one thing for which I was needed. The only way I could serve my husband and my brother—by preparing their meals. T might be as miserable about it as ever I liked, but revolt wouldn’t fiee me. I was the cook—that was all—the cook. I got up mechanically. “Nothing ready. But I'll hurry. Will yon peel the potatoes for me, Neal?”— Copyright, 1920. (To be continued)
