Nell Hops All Around State Meets Preacher and Arcadia Man Mn Dutch’ With His Girl.
Note—Nell Gordon of The Times staff lg making’ a unique tour of Indiana—on foot and with the assistance of motorists who give her a lift. A story of her experience appears in The Times each day. By Nell Gordon MARTINSVILLE. Ind., Aug. 6. I have spent two days riding with tourists. I have hopped all over the State, with first one tourist and then another. Where they went, I went. Some were traveling north, some south. I would ride to a crossroad and then alight. The next tourist coming along, regardless of the direction, I would stop and chat with and possibly ride with for a mile or two. Out of Somerset I rode with the Rev. A. R. Sanks of Arcadia. I asked him if he thought people were becoming c'oser students of the Bible. “I find,” he said, ‘‘that the present method of studying the Bible brings greater understanding and apparently an increased interest. History’s the Thing *‘A few years ago a student of the Bible was able to quote long verses and many of them from memory. He was looked upon as a scholar in high standing If he could do that but the present day method seems to be to study rather a history of the Bible and a history of those who were inspired to write it. This newer method seems to hold the interest of any who are studying and through them their friends become interested. ‘‘We find more students enrolled today in the Bible classes In colleges then ever was known before and It Is not from compulsion but from personal interest,” he explained. After riding with a tourist or two I found myself in Sharpsville and mistook a dust covered local car for that of a long distance traveler. The driver slowed at the corner apparently to ask me to ride but in reality to debate about turning back. While thinking he intended to offer me a ride I inquired which way he would turn at the corner. He looked at me in surprise. *‘l>id you want a ride,” he asked, holding tight to the door of the car. ‘‘Yes, I thought you had slowed to ask me,” I said. He took one FRECKLES Don’t Hide Thom With a Veil; Remove Them With Othine— Double Strength.

look back toward town as If afraid. I wondered if he thought I was a woman bandit. Affair of the Heart “I am Nell Gordon of The Indianapolis Times. I am a hiker, but don’t give me a ride if you are afraid in broad daylight,” I said. I was about to turn away wheq he took a second look back over his shoulder. “Well, you see I would like to give you a ride, but my girl lives back there and she is already mad at me,” he explained. Holy catfish! He took me for a vamp! With a wave of my hand I thanked him and remarked that If any woman was worrying about him I certainly did not want to be guilty of adding to her sorrow. Even at that he did not move, but looking at me as if I were a stray cat he fairly moaned, "Well I hope someone picks you up.” Then a sign poster in sight and hailed me. I had ridden with him the day before “I’m going to the main road Nell,” he said, "want to ride along?”

Mrs. Huck Learns How to Live Upon $10.50 a Week
Landlady Is Frigid When Room Rent Is Not Paid Promptly. Winnlfred Mason Huek. former Congresswoman and the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives, got herself sentenced to nrison. Guiltless of any crime, she sought answers to the question*— Are our prisons humane" Can a girl, crushed by her fellow men, regain her place in society? This is the twentieth story, written for Tho Times. By Wmnifred Mason Buck Former Representative to Congress From Illinois T THE factory I learned next A. morning that I was to get -T*l $9.60 the first week, $10.50 the second -week and In three months, I would be pulling sl2 a week. I did not stay long enough to get the sl2, hut I did get the $10.50 and I lived on it. I bought no clothes, I had no recreation. I walked to work and carried my lunch. And I found a restaurant where breakfast and a morning newspaper to read while one ate could be had for 15 cents. The restaurant was two blocks out of my way, but a morning paper cost 3 cents, and I felt It was worth saving, on $10.50 a week. Bread and Milk After breakfast, I bought bread and butter and wrapped it in oiled paper. I could get milk at the factory at noon, and I was allowed to keep a little fruit in my locker. The first Friday night in Wheeling- I spent 23 cents for supper. It made a hole In my last dollar, but the next day was pay day; so I ate my supper without misgivings. Tonight I was seated comfortably by the Y fireplace, with my nose in a book, when Miss Lewis the secretary. came to speaK to me. She always made T a point to chat with me for a few minutes each evening, asking me about my work or repeating some amusing anecdote. Good Class Her interest In me was genuine and she gradually opened the way for me to make friends among a good class of people. She knew I had been in Jail and she knew that for me to be with the right class of people might be my salvation. One Sunday she took me to her church, the Fourth Street Church of Wheeling, and saw that I met as many of its members as possible. She asked me this Friday evening
The Tangle LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON TO LESLIE PRESCOTT —CONTINUED I felt like a cat, Lealie, to be thinking all these things about poor Dick, even while I was trying to comfort him for his loss. That is why, I expect, I am telling it all to you. I am punishing myself by letting you know how very horrid I am In my own little Inside. It sometimes seems strange to me, Leslie dear, that Fate lets me stay In this world. I’m not particularly lovable and I certainly have no one who loves me very dearly now that Bee Is gone. Why should Fate still give my life while it takes B a e away, leaving a child behind? The specialists told me this morning that probably Bee mignt have lived had he been called earlier before the child was born, but it would have cost the life of the child. He supposed that Mr. Summers would rather have his child live than his wife. I looked at him In utter surprise. I couldn’t think that anyone could be so cold-blooded. In fact, I asked him: “Why, don’t you love your wife?” He answered: “I have never married.” “I thought so,” was my brief comment. “It may he all right for a man of science to carry it to such a degree that he thinks only of carrying on the race, hut I for my part prefer a man who has a little heart in him.” The specialist smiled, and said: "Mrs. Atherton, you are a woman of courage. I like you.” “That’s more than I can say for you,” I answered "It will he sixteen or seventeen years, Doctor, before little Beatrice —” t(hey have called her Beatrice) “will he able to be of any good to the world, and her mother has always been of great good not only to Dick but to others of her friends, and for the next sixteen years she would go on doing a good work by making the world happy.” The specialist looked superior, but he held out his hand, and I was so mad at him that I ignored it when he said gootfby. I presume, Leslie, that I shall miss Bee more than any one else, for some way I could unburden my heart to her more freely than to any other person I have ever known. I know you will understand this, because I have never written to even you in this way before. I wonder who will care when I go out? Probably no one. There—l’m getting morbid. Hope you’re well and happy, Leslie. Tell Mr. Prescott I’ll be here only about three weeks longer, which, although it will make my vacation longer than I thought, will bring me back to the office about the end of the month. Lots of love, SALLY. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) TOMORROW—Letter from Leslie Prescott to Sally Atherton.

If I wanted to attend the lecture that night In the Y auditorium. I told her that I should like to, but that I could not afford it that week. • "It will cost you nothing. I will lend you my season pass.” she said. Near the Wolf As I paid my 15 cents for breakfast next morning I gave the money a little farewell squeeze. • I was learning what It means to be always in the shadow of the wolf, to be bound by Iron necessity not to spend a single penny more than the absolute minimum required to live. I had expected to be frightened when my money got low, but I found after a time that human beings can accommodate themselves to any kind of danger or worry in time. But this week I was anxious. To- I day should be pay day. I had told the landlady that ft was, when I took my room. She had been uncivil enough even at waiting . that long. I hoped fervently that I had guessed right about pay day. But I found that I had guessed wrong. Pay Day Pay day did not come until the following Saturday. I had 57 cents to live on for seven days. And my lapdlady expected her pay. I went Into a restaurant and spent 50 of my 57 cents. Then, with a square meal under my belt, I marched home to meet my landlady. She was cordial —most cordial. Then she learned that today was not pay day. Her words were few, elegantly concise. They were rubbed to the polish of a rapier. She Froze "I am so sorry. It could not he helped,” I apologized. The sorrier I became the colder she froze. I sneaked to my room. My air of shyness and timidity was working like oil on the bonfire of her wrath. I am sure I could have gone to my employer and borrowed some money till pay day. Or I could have gone to Miss Lewis. I know the Y would have helped me out. My Old Pride But I was going to try something else first, for In this adventure I had still my old pride to reckon with. I went to my room and got two little silk-covered boxes I had made, a green and gold one and a blue and gold one. These I sold, at considerably less than cost, but for enough to eat over Sunday and start me Into the next week. By Tuesday I had completed and sold another box. On Wednesday I got a letter. The gentleman In Cleveland whose coat I had “pinched” had taken to writing. He had heard of my financial difficulties and wrote that he was glad. In a rampaging scrawl, he hoped the landlady would have me arrested and thrown back Into Jail, or that I would have to eat off of charity for a while. He wished with fervor that the whole thing would be a good lesson to me, and he Inclosed a two dollar bill for bad luck! I ate my “bad luck” and again sailed perlously close to bankruptcy.

Martha Lee Says MONOTONY IS DEADLY TO LOVE AND MARRIAGE
It is the monotony of marriage that palls on many young people so greatly. They do not know how *o break it. They are swept under as with a tide which brings them sooner or later
to the divorce court. Marriage is no sand glass of time It doesn’t keep pouring sand from one side to the other, perfectly marking time throughout the ages. It requires effort, and interest. It’s a business that you put all your capital Into and work to make succeed. Too often that interesting, bright sunshiny girl that you fell In love with, lets her self grow stout, addicted to chocolates, and housedresses, and that handsome boy who promised you undying love and devotion, and swore to bring the world to your feet, dwindles into a nervous, whiny, fault-finding husband who gets more nearsighted mentally as well as physically with each passing year. Os course, you can’t be happy under such circumstances. No one expected you to. But what is expected with the "I do” is that you Intend to attend to the real Job of remaining interesting, In love, do ing your utmost in thoughtful devotion toward making the firm of you and yours successful. Neglected Dear Martha Lee: What would you do with a husband like this: He hardly talks to me and when 1 talk to him he hardly ever answers. 1 treat him the very best, and do thinfa he wanta done. Ho never thinks of puttlnr his arms around me and i klsslnr me. and won’t K any plact. with me. I dress well and am neat and keep my house the same way. 1 am always | clean. I love this man. but he sure Is kill Ins my love the way he docs. What J can I do to make him act llherently I love a home and hate to break ours | up. He wants me to leave, but he won’t leave first. Do you think he cares for me and don’t want to leave? BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE Neglect is the most potent acid that ever ate into a woman’s heart, no mater how strong a fortress It was. A great many husbands become neglectful with seemingly little effort. In fact neglect after marriage Is more often found In the men than in the women. They take marriage too much for granted and qo little to make u business of it. In a way, marriage Is really woman’s work. Consequently It is up to her to put more effort Into it than a man. Don’t break up your home without another effort to make It really interesting to your husband. Don’t nag, and don’t humor his
