ENFORCEMENT of two suspended sentences, however, will not atone for the neglect of hundreds of other cases. COULD IT BE POSSIBLE that the public Service commission has established a ruie that does not meet with the unqualified approval of the gas company? THERE MAY BE a conspiracy to discredit prohibition, but the thing that is discrediting prohibition is the failure of judges to punish the convicted violators. THE “PARDON-BUND" was dissolved today by mutual consent with the passing of Governor Goodrich. Large tax-exempt returns without investment made it. a profitable society. THE ADAMS (POLICY of allowing -annoying and probably illegal prosecutions in the “outside” justices’ courts is most reprehensible in the eyes of others, now that Prosecutor Evans has condemned it THOSE LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATES of a law compelling trucks to carry mirrors are respectfully referred to the acts of one of Jim Goodrich's special sessions for an example of the statute they want. NO ONE having an ash plant for sale to the city, there is not likely to be concerted opposition to the bill to place ash hauling under the jurisdiction of the board that bought the garbage plant. THE PURPOSE of that transfer charge was ostensibly to enable the street car company to help finance itself. If no benefit has been derived from it, as Dr. Jameson declares, the public will not object to Its revocation. Isolation Crumbling The announcement that Australian eggs have been received and sold in Chicago for less than the local price illustrates the working of supply and demand, not seen so forcibly until recently. Heretofore, America has produced such an abundance of everything that generally It was quite forgotten that nature is busy producing bountiful harvests on the opposite side of the equator, while we are just recovering from a long winter's rest. To those who can afford them, Australia and New Zealand apples may be obtained long after the American product has been consumed. There is no reason why products from South America should not arrive here in time to supply every want. The introduction of fast ships with modern j-£frigerating devices has made it possible to link the whole world together and properly to work out the law of supply and demand. China exports millions of dried eggs* to England and, indeed, much cheaper than we could send them. In England, which country must look to the outside for its food, the Australian products have not been unknown, for with an abundant shipping facility, vessels which carried out manufactured products, brought back foodstuff. At this age the United States will have' to depend upon the same manner of feeding itself to at least a limited degree, and from time to time as the population grows the markets will be enlarged. The people of the United States are just finding out that there are other places in the world where foodstuffs are produced. Our grand isolation i3 crumbling, but If it makes eggs more reasonable to the consumer, the general tendency will be to let it crumble. Woman's Dress * Women and men do not take stylo of dress as a serious matter, nor indeed consider its effects beyond a passing glance . There is, however, a serious side of dress to be held in mind when the attitude of certain individuals is noted. Recently a well-known showman was quoted as assuring the public that a thrill awaited it upon the next year’s circus production because, as he said, the public is no longer contented with the woman in tights, nor, indeed, with a barefooted performance. He explained that with high skirts and low backs, in styles of today, the old appearance in tights does not attract the public. What the thrill will consist of is not told, nor does it do for a mere newspaper to predict. To take this seriously, however, is to question the effect of modern dress upon the public. It does not attract particular attention to the average woman for her to go about in short skirts. Once the ankles are uncovered, they cease to draw attention, and the same with the balance of the legs When bare backs become more In vogue they, too, will cease to excite comment Any girl snug in a home and protected by the proper conventionalities of life may go about dressed as she pleases, without alarm. She may, In this day and age, sacrifice everything that older people were taught to regard as essential, and still be safe. But who will answer for the girl without a home or protection? How about the one who must earn her own living? And what will the girl do who must give the thrill to the public next summer, who travels In an unsympathetic world and has no one to extend protection? * If women will throw away that which has shielded them; if they make themselves common cr unprotected by their own act, from vanity and style, is it to be wondered at that some must make sacrifices beyond contemplation because of that very attitude? An attire of modesty should not be lightly cast aside. Inevitable Results Much to the surprise of the public, along comes a New York policeman who admits he took six months’ leave, ostensibly on account of his wife’s sickness, but really to accept a $5,000 per year position that required three or four days’ work a week. Also, not to surprise any one, along comes the grand Jury and the policeman is busy explaining. The drawing of so good a salary for such a short service presents the difficu’ty to explain. Asa fact, he was engaged in questionable business when away from his regular employment. After making all allowances for human nature, it becomes necessary -many times to insist that the old Scriptural saying the laborer is worthy of his hire needs no extrinsic proof. But when the laborer or the merchant begins to profiteer he knows he Is doing wrong and the public soon dis. covers it. With rent hogs making necessary certain drastic legislation, with coal on sale at immense profit, wh j can blame a policeman for accepting a position outside the ranks, even if it be a shady one? There should be no compromise with wrong. If, however, a person finds temptation so strong that he accepts cash beyond his worth, as wages, some charity must be shown, as it is human nature. Stand by France The United States has been informally notified that France has again j contemplated "the invasion of Ruhr Valley of Germany lr order to require the Germ ns to observe the terms of the Versailles treaty. To the average American who was in hopes that Europe would settle down and get to producing after the war, there is Just a little feeling of discontent, because America has no sympathy with treaties unkept nor -with intensive military operations. If, however, the Germans do not abide by the treaty. France would be the nearest nation to suffer, as indeed she has suffered in untold ways and ir behooves that country to be on the alert and see that no advantage Is taken of her. If Germany had conquered the rest of the world there would have been no leniency shown to any nation that did not fulfill every due requirement of any treaty. The efficiency of the Germans would have been such that due notice would have been given and the last farthing would have been required as nominated in the bond. Germany has had two years of peace. When she went into the w r ar 4*>*was only reasonable to believe she had plans to carry on if she were defeated. The bridges should not have been burned behind her nob indeed were they so far as any enemy was concerned.' That country has no altrnative but to accept the terms of the treaty and to carry them out. The treaty is plain In Ra requirements and France has a right to insist upon its fulfillment. Therefore, the United States should stand by France when It la arsing the filling of treaty obligations.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CXX (Continued.) “Jim—Jim, don’t say that. You don’t mean it! You don’t!" I cried with tears standing hot anil burning at the brim ol my eyelids. “Os course, I don’t think it was— Jennie. Bat you shan't say she’s the only one who understands you. * * Only last night, clear, we found each other again. After all our disagreements, we came home to each other again—and knew that we belong to each pther. Isn't there enough faith to make that love worth something?" . “Faith? f When you’ve lied to rue? Faith? When the very money we're living on was earned through one of your lies?” stormed Jim. I got up and went to his side. I laid my hand on his arm. .“Jim—will you sit down and listen to me?” I asked. He threw off my hand and limped to a chair on the far side of the room. There

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory

In the last story I told you now little Puss Junior, with his magic born, blew the leaves off the trees and frightened the robbers who tried to steal his purse. Well, after that Puss put the horn back in his pocket and continued his Journey of adventure, and by arid by, after a while, he came to a lonely spat in the woods, where stood a great castle, gloomy and dark. So Puss went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered, and at last Puss turned the lock, for a great key hung by a chain outside, and entered. But all was still and dark Inside. Well, after a while, Puss Juniors eyes made out a bird cage hanging from the ceiling. And when he touched It a little sleepy yellow bird began to sing, but very soft and low, as If she feared •to make a noises “Turn back, turn back, brave little cat, Within this castle do not stay, For soon a band of wicked thieves Will come at break of day. And then the little yellow bird put her head under her wing and went to sleep. But Puss wasn't afraid, so he hid behind a great stool and waited. And by and by a little cricket said, very softly: “Go ’way, go ’way, while yet there’s time. For thieves live here who deal in crime, And If they find you In this house They’ll kIH you like a little mouse." And, goodness me, wouldn’t you have thought Fuse would have Jumped out of the window and run away. But he didn't. He Just sat there and grinned at the friendly little cricket, and pretty

he sat with chin thrust forward aggressively, so I knew liis throat must be taut, ns Virginia’s white throat always became when she was at high tension. Jim stared at me with hostile eyes. “Well,” he said coldly. “Let’s have the stdry now, please.” “It’s not much of a story, Jim. I'd seen your pride—l’d heard of Jfc from your friends. I saw you go to pieces from that dreadful inspectorship that kept you walking and walking about that factory- all day long. And Terry and Betty loved you. Betty owed you so much, and you wouldn’t play fair and let them pay. Mr. Norreys did need a men he eoufd trust. His assistant did want to go into the actual fighting. So that was all true. Don’t you believe me, Jim? Don’t,you know it is true?” I begged. “Go\on.” Jitn’s voice was cold. “Well, the hitch was your—pride. Risk-

qoon there came a great tram- !ng or feet and then, alt of a sudden ae door opened, and in came the baud of thieves. “Has any one been here,” asked one of them, tapping on the little yellow bird’s cage wiih his finger. But the little bird kept her head under her wing and never said a word. And then the big*- robber came over to the fireplace and called to the little cricket, “Como out of your hole, little black cricket, and tell me If any one has been here.’ But the little cricket stayed w'here he was, for tie didn’t want to tell a lie, you see. “Well, now we’ll count our money,” said the big robber, and they all sat around the tabic and spread the money w-liich they had stolen during the night from travelers. And after that they all went to bed, except the big robber, who was very wideawake. And pretty soon he began to look In all the corners and under the chairs, and then he came over to the place where Puss was hiding behind the great stool. And then, all of a sudden, he spied little Puss Junior. ”Ha, ha, ho hoi I thought there was somebody here,” said the wicked robber. and he reached out his great hand. But Puss slipped between his legs and ran out of the door and of course the robber turned around and followed. And, oh. dear me! Just as Puss reached the last step, his boot heel caught and down he fell, and then the robber with a yell, picked up our little pussy cat, and now what happens after tlint, tomorrow's story will relate, so olense be good till then, and watt. —Copyright, 1921.

ing the offer of the Job seemed too much. We couldn’t. We had to let you—discover It. Se Terry phoned Neal begging him to take It on—and Neal couldn’t, and—and then you Just naturally—were ready to help Terry.” “And this clever scheme for tricking me? Who invented It? Who thought 1 was a baby you had to coax instead of a man to reason with? Who took me for the fool your proceedings made me look? Who guessed I’d learn bookkeeping or playing the fiddle to help old Terry and took advantage of my friendship for the best fellow that ever lived?” snarled Jim. I stared at Jim and my heart came into my throat. How he loved Terry! And now Terry reeded friendship to tide him over the dark hours while Betty was gone—and the perhaps darker hours to come when we found her. I had to take the blame on myself—lt was the only way. “It was all my fault, Jim,” I managed to say. “But how did you find It out? It was none of us—not—Jeanie—not Neal —not Terry. Now, who told you?”—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)
