THE DEMOCRATS, evidently, are anxious to make Mr. Daugherty the Burleson of this Administration. THOSE who had figured David Lloyd George was losing grace with the English should look at that vote of confidence awarded him by the House of Commons. THAT youth who drove an automobile at the rate of sixty eight miles an hour In the city streets should report at the Speedway next Tuesday if he is still possessed of the speed mania. THE announcement that Attorney General Daugherty himself will direct the war fraud investigation doesn’t inspire the public with confidence that the guilty will be brought to light. SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE, in commenting upon Gifford Pinchot’s victory in Pennsylvania, said: “I kno w Mr. Pinchot; have known him for many years—and Mrs. Pinchot. I did not know Mr. Alter. i hat explains it. Mr. Lodge knew Mr. Pinchot and he won. He didn’t know Mr. Altar and Mr. Alter lost. * Truth Crushed to Earth —’ Last week Senator Watson stood in the United States Senate and solemnly informed the country that Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty had never received a cent for prigging about the release of Charles W. Morse from the Federal prison at Atlanta. He declared, when pressed by Senator Caraway, that he had been so informed by Mr. Daugherty himself. Yesterday a letter from Mr. Daugherty to Mr. Matson was read in the same Senate and in it the Attorney General admitted that he had received $4,000 for his part in the notorious scheme by which Morse was freed to later make more trouble for the Government. And what is more serious—for the people generally had come to the conclusion that Mr. Daugherty had participated in the case—tie declared he had never denied his connection with the pardoning of Morse, leaving the impression that Senator Watson had deliberately distorted the truth when he sprang so glibly to his defence in the Senate. Mr. Daugherty would have the country believe that Senator Watson had full knowledge of his connection with the unsavory affair, yet knowing that, went before the people with a denial. It is scarcely the attitude one gentleman would assume toward another, especially when one volunteered > is services to K-friend the other, but it is not surprising that Harry M. Daugherty, who has been an incubus to the Administration, would resort to such tactics to escape an unpleasant situation. Perhaps Senator Watson, who has told his Indiana friends that he "was not interested In the affair,’' will now take a deeper interest. At any rate, Senator Watson owes an apology to the country and Mr. Daugherty owes one to him.

City Court Efficiency It begins to appear as if an efficiency expert should be employed to straighten out the tangled affairs in the city court so that the wheels of justice may grind smoothly again. Os course, however, a little cooperation on the part of the authorities charged with the enforcement of the law might work as an excellent substitute and unquestionably would bring the same result. Judge Wilmeth has complained In a letter to the chief of police and the board of public safety that much delay in meting out justice has ensued because of the absence or tardiness of the arresting officers. Then an indignant group of policemen called upon the judge and informed him that frequently they are unable to get into the prosecutor's office to obtain their affidavits until after court convenes and thus another avenue for investigation is opened up for those who are sincerely anxious to see city court affairs expedited. Unquestionably the absence of the arresting officers seriously hampers operation of the court and the judge properly complained about it, but it is difficult to see wherein such a habit would seriously Interfere with the stern administration of justice. It Is scarcely possible that official tardiness would cause “blind tiger” bonds to be reduced from SI,OOO to SSOO, nor that it would result in only ninety out of 506 persons arrested for bootlegging receiving jail or Penal Farm sentences from Jan. l to May 1. And only yesterday a number of professional bondsmen, wtio wore barred from signing bonds by Judge Wilmeth’s order, complained that others equally as reprehensible as they are being permitted to poach on their preserves. Possibly these things are small and potty, but taken in the aggregate they are conditions that should be looked into and Judge Wilmeth is the man to do it. He is a young man of unquestioned integrity and he should let nothing interfere, no matter from what source it emanates, to turn him from the path of duty. Cutting Railroad Wages In view of the fact that Senator James R. Watson, acting as the Administration spokesman, has demanded the reduction of wages paid railroad employes and the apparent erystalization of such a move in that direction following the interstate commerce commission’s decree decreasing freight rates, it is interesting to look into figures bearing on railroad wages prepared by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. It is shown that the average daily pay of passenger engineers is $6; yard engineers, $6.51; through freight engineers, $7.05, and local freight engineers, $7.44. fhese figures represent, the brotherhood explains, the total daily compensation received by the average engineer since July 1. 1921, when Decision No. 147 of the labor board imposed a 9.4 per cent cut, totalling $33,582.645 per annum on engine service employes. The brotherhood statement declares that many engineers, because of the industrial depression, receive less than SIOO a month, which “is far less than the dollar an hour standard compensation paid skilled artisans in practically all of the well organized trades.” It is further pointed out that the average duration of life of a railroad engineer is eleven years and seven days and that 17 per cent of the firemen who spend long years in the cab aspiring to become engineers are rejected a| the end of three years because of failing eyesight due to the fierce glare of the fire boxes. “If the American people,” says the B rotherhood statement, “permit the wnges of railway employes to be beaten down in order to pay dividends on railway stocks, which have been notoriously watered, the people themselves will be the losers. Railroad service demands an exceptionally high degree of skill, carefulness, and respo nslbillty Wages paid in this service must be sufficient to secure the very best human material low wages will Inevitably demoralize our transportation system. The actual ligures presented by the railroad labor board rove that even the most skilled railway employes are not overpaid, a nd that many of them are receiving less than the clerks in a dry goods store. Finally, the railroads themselves would profit if they would and evote less effort to beating down wages to the lowest possible level a nd a 11‘rle more effort to cultivating the good will of their employes.” It is going to be a difficult task for the Government and the railroads to convince the public, and especially the railroad employes, that the full freight rate reduction should be taken *ut of wages paid the working men. ’ \

After five years of married life, LUCINDA DR I CE, New York society matron, concluded that wealth, youth, beauty, social position and sincere love were not sufficient to hold she affection of her husband, BELLAMY DRIVE. Weak-willed and selfish. Bel had been guilty of a seri.'a or escapades In which promiscuous flirtation and drunkenness had combined to humiliate his wife. A broken promise to reform causes Lucinda to leave him. Bel follows her to Chicago and is prevented from forcibly restraining her from going to Reno by tile intervention of an unidentified young man. On the train Lneinda meets her old friend, FANNY LONTAINE. who, with her hus band, is going to Hollywood, where HARRY LONTAINE is thinking of form tng a motion picture company. She learns that the young man who assisted her in escaping from Bel is also on the train and that he Is LYNN SVMMERLAD, a promtn ?at screen star. CHAPTER XV—Continued. Seated la Section 10, waiting for the porter to bring back his personal Impediments from the drawing-room, Harry Lontalne turned a handsome far.- to the window, frowning absently, the nervous frown of a man whose cleverness has never proved quite equal to the task of satisfying appetites at onee strong and fastidious. From this delectable realm the dreamer was recalled by consciousness r, f some body standing In the aisle and staring impertinently. Lontaine was too diligent a student of motion pictures not to know at sight the features of Lynn Summerlad, by long odds the ino>t popular male star of the Atneri -an cinema. A personage worth know dig • • • Misreading his expression Mr. Summer lad felt called upon to apologize.

"Beg your pardon, but I was expecting to find a lady- in this section, I may say a friend: a Mrs. Drnce. Do you by any chance —?” CHAPTERX VI. Lynn Sumerland made a fourth at tho bridge table set up that afternoon in the Lontalne drawing room; invited by Lontnine as an acquaintance of Lucinda’s and a grateful addition to the party because he played something better than merely a good game. Not only "fearfully easy to look at” (as Fanny confided to Lucinda) but fair spoken and well, If at times a shade carefully mannered, he was intelligent and ready of wit. By nightfall of she second day It was possible for Lucinda to make up her mind that she liked Lynn Summerlad decidedly. True that he was not of her world; but then neither was she herself, any longer, in this anomalous stage of the apostate wife, neither wife nor widow, riot even honest divorcee. If Suminerlad s character as she rend it had faults, if an occasional crudity flawed his finish, these tilings were held to be condonalde in view of his youth. He seemed ridiculously young to Lucinda but sure to improve with nge, sure to take on polish from rubbing up against life. Especially if he were so fortunate as to find the right woman to wat-'h over and advise him. An interesting Job for the rigut woman * * * Not (she assured herself hastily) that it w ould b- a Jot. to Inter, st her. An absurd turn of though’, anyway. Why she had wasted time on it she really didn’t kn-w. Unless, of course. Its ln-s,-olive had lain In c.insriousne®* of Sum merlad’s naive captivation. One couldn’t very well overlook that, lie was so artless ahou; it. boyish, and—well- nire. It was most entertaining. It was also, if trti|h would out, fur from displeasing. Tie g .r a great favor to beg of you, Mr. Suminerlad,” said Lucinda, as they sat alone—-ou the observation platform, ODi* evening. ’’Can’t make it ton great- —" "Fahin and 1 wen' dismissing it this morning. Bel Mr. Drue- is sure to follow :,ie to l.os Angeles ami male more scene*. I’d like to avoid that, f I can. Help me choose a good, safe no.n de guerre, please.” “Let's see; Mrs. Lontalne calls you Cindy—- ' Short for Lucinda." "How about Le-’ Lucinda Lee?” "1 like that. But it does sound like the movies, doesn't it?" “What do you expect of a movie a--t >r, Mrs. Drue." "Mrs. Lee. please." "Reg pardon; Mrs Lee." And it was ns laid: I,'| Lee that she registered the next morning at the Hotel Alexandria in Los Angeles. (>n the afternoon of their arrival, Lucinda, accompanied by Rummerlad and the I.ontaines, drove to the 7!!nn studios, where the famous Sumtncrlad pictures were taken; The working premises lay behind the. administration building. But here Lucinda noted few points of close r-sesn blanee to the Culp studios. A field sev

"To Tomorrow Morning’s Star of tile Screen, Linda Lee!" oral aeres in extent, about half in turf, was surround'-d by a sizeable village of glass roofed stages and structures housing the technical and mechanical depart merits-a laboratory, a costumer’s, property, carpenter and scene painting shops, • directors' offices, dressing, projection and cutting rooms, a garage, sheds to shelter motor-cars and trucks by tho score, stables, a small menagerie, a huge ta ik for "water stuff,” a monolithic fireproof vault of cement for the storage of film. "Well, Mrs. Lee, what do you think of n California studio? Not much like what you've seen hack East, eh?” "It U most marvelous. If they're nil ! lilt.a this. I don't wonder pepolt* are i load to act In motion pictures. If Mr. Culp had promised m anything like •his, I don't believe i should have hud ! tin courage to refliM'." "It's not too lute to change your uilnd, Mrs. Lee,” lontalne suggested “In f.-v-t, If 1 thought there was any hope you would, I’d go down on my knees to you. Oil, not to act for Culp, but for me; or. rather, for yourself, ns the bead and the star of yonr own company. No, I'm serious. I’ve been talking with sev- , era 1 people today who want me to try producing out here. I can get unlimited capital to back me. Tills country Is crying for better pictures—and I knowhow to make them. I can bring to the American cinema the one thing It needs, a thorough knowledge of European ! methods. There's only one tiling makes | nn- hesitate, the lack of a suitable star.” ; “Why pick on mo?” Lucinda laughed, i ”I’tn not even an actress." “Ah! you forget I’ve Seen you prove lon the screen what you can do. You j don't know yourself, .Mrs. Lee. You

need only two thing to make you great, a good director, and self-confidence.” "Aren’t you running a great risk, making such flattering overtures to an untried, unknown amateur?” "Don't worry about me. If I had any hope of being able to persuade you to try It on, I’d tell you to name your own terms, and shoulder the risk without a murmur.” Lontaine’s earnestness was so renl that one might no longer meet his arguments with levity. There was a strained look of anxiety in the blue eyes, a restrained passion of pleading In the ordinary languid accents. Fanny, too, was apparently hanging between hope and fear. And the thought revived that had onee or twice presented Itself, the suspieion that ail was not ns well as one might wish with the state of the Lontalne fortunes, strengthening the surmise that Luelnda's decision meant more to them both than Lontalne bad con- ! fessed. Still one hesitated to believe • • “But you can't be serious! Do you | really want me to become a movie acti ress under your management?” I "You can't think of anything T wouldn't do to persuade you." j "Why not, Mrs. Lee?” Summerlad urged. "It would lie great fun for you; and you can't fall, you can’t lose anything. If you only know how inferior most stars aro to you In every way • “And If you should fail, Cindy.” Fanny chimed in—“what does it. matter? Who would know? it wouldn't be you, It would be Lucinda Lee.” "No,” Lontalne insisted. “I've got a better screen name than that for her. Not Lucinda: Linda Lee.” “Come, Mrs. Lee: say you'll try it on, if only for tho lark of it.” “If I should, Mr. Suminerlad, it wouldn't he for fun." "So much the better." "Then you ,vl!l ?” Lontalne persisted. "Do say yes." "Let me think • • *” And why not? Lucinda asked herself. She was alone in tho world, lonely hut for these good friends who necd**(l 10-r help, or seemed to. It would be good fun, It would be interesting, it won' I satisfy a need of which she had been disrnntendedly aware even in the days when she had yet to dream of leaving Ih-I. And-even as Fanny had argued if sU" should fall and have to give It up, who would tare what had become of "Linda Li*o ?” "Very well," she said at length, with an uncertain smile —"suppose we try.” CHAPTER A ML "To tomorrow’s mbrning star of the screen, Linda Leo!” Thus Lynn Summerlad, mildly exalted, graceful and grin e>us even beyond ids studied hatdt, flourishing u glass of t ,u----fornla champagne above the dinner table In his bungalow at Beverly Hills. The toast went by a •daniat b*n, and Lucinda laughed, at on-e gratified, dl \ -Tied, ltd! dl-posed to deprecate the spirit of these felicitations as prema til re. A phrase of (tip's recurred unhidden: "A lot of kids, that's what we got to make pitchers with, a lot of kids ' It was childish, in a way ; *>n the other hand, :T was undeniably pl.-a-.ii; t think of oneself as a sort . f Sleeping Beauty of the screen only waiting to be awakened to vivid life by one wave of the witch lug wand and self confidence Fumuierlad had been talking of ills early s r.-eti experiences ari l !!:-.*!. -1 an apologetic .smile. “One tho worst faults we movie a> tors have, Mrs. Lee, Is talking about our :t)*tr-*.

Failure to Hear Stations Near Home Cause of Worry for Amateurs. BY PAUL F. GOBLET, America's Foremost Radio Authority. A tiling which puzzles many radio fans Is their ability to receive concert programs from n broadcasting station ono nigiit and their inability to get anything from the same station the following night. In some cases the credit for the reception is given to the receiving equipment, while in others the novice assumes that tho success ia the result of his own skill. Many receivers have been discarded for no better types because of the failure of a particular set to get these nightly concerts regularly. As any one may barn by a little oxperi, -neo in the reception of radio messages (particularly on the shorter vvavo lrug'hs allot tod to amateur and broad-ea-ting stations) signal strengths vary from night to night, hour to hour and even minute to minute. There are ; lines during the colder weather months when signals, quite steady and dependable, are heard from stations at extreme distances. On tho oilier ban*], ti,, re are periods during the sunun-er months when stations close at hand can not Be hoard at all. t- should be expected then that during th-> change from one extreme of seas' n to another, sin-h ns in ;he spring and fall, reception varies a great deal. As radio broadcasting derelopes, every possible step will be taken by those interested in its development, to offset tho 1 isnilva:Bages of this great variation lu si-gua!. Either stations will be made more povi-rfui or they will become sufficiently numerous to take care of al sections of tie- country. Nevertheless there will always remain the lure of “distance." A great many amateurs would prefer to hear a few discordant notes fr-.m a station 1.000 miles away than to hear a most wonderfully executed program from a station in their own home town. Do n- r judge the merits of a radio receiving set upon the results which you may get from night, to night or even from hour to hour. To make a fair comparison nf radio equipment of any sort, It must be itistailed and operated under exactly the same conditions and the notes -,f op. ration made in exactly the same Instant. In making comparisons In the lab■ra: engineers produce an artificial set ~f conditions over which they have complete cotitr 1. in order that al! their measurements may be made with accuracy.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

In my Father's house aro many manions: if it were not so, I would have told you—John 14:2. For immortality is rot to range Unlimited through vast Olympian days, or sit in dull dominion over timo; But thi*—to drink Fate's utmost at a draught. Nor fed the wine grow stale upon the lips; l'o scale the summit of soma soaring mount. Nor know the dullness of the long descent ; To snatch the crown of life and seal it up. Secure forever in the vaults of death. —Edith IVharton.
