SCHOOL BOARD FAILS TO HAVE QUORUMPRESENT Kern States Split Heating System Added to S. H. S. Specifications. Failure of a quorum attendance of School board members at a special meeting late Friday prevented Charles W. Kern, buildings and grounds chairman, from formally reporting committee action on the heating and ventilating for the new Shortridge High School. Theodore F. Vonnegut, board president, and Kern were the only members on hand. Mrs. Lillian Sedwick, the other majority faction constituent, and Fred Bates Johnson and Charles R. Yoke, minority mejnbers, were absent. Split System Added Kern told newspaper men, however, that the split system of heating and ventilating had been selected to be bid upon in addition to the C. C. Shipp direct-indirect system as provided for in the plans. The State tax board recently refused to approve a bond issue covering a $303,351 bid by Freyn Brothers on the latter system, declaring it exorbitant. The tax body ordered the board to readvertise the bid, allowing two or more systems to be bid on. “Will the bids on the split system be lower than those originally bid on the direct-indirect system,’’ Kern was asked. “Perhaps not,” Kern replied. “The bidder will have to gauge his figure on plans that call for the other system. If he can draw his own plans and render a lower bid with that expense covered, then the contract will go to him.” Cheapened Building Indications are that the split system bids will not be lower than the direct-indirect system estimates, thereby lowering the contract as originally bid. Kern declared his committee had “cheapened the building here and there,” in order to reduce the estimated $1,380,697 cost to a figure covered in a tentatively approved $1,200,000 bond issue. The tax board has already approved a $970,000 bond Issue covering the gen eral contract and the electrical wiring contract. The committee report will be given Monday at 11 a. m., Ure M. Frazer, board business manager announced, at which time bids also will be opened on the general contract bonds. willTatjend songfest Two Local Organizations to Join National Chorus.

Varicose Veins Reduced or Money Back ; Says Hook Drug Cos., and Haag Drug Cos. Simple Home Treatment That Is Giving Amazing Results. The world progresses. Today ailments that took weeks to treat can now be ended in a few days. If you have varicose veins or bunches you can start today to bring them back to normal size, and if you are wise you will do so. Just get an original bottle of Moone’s Emerald Oil at any dispensing pharmacist and apply it night and morning to the enlarged veins. It is very powerful and penetrating, and only a little is required. After a few days’ treatment the veins will begin to grow smaller and by regular use will soon reduce to normal. Moone's Emerald Oil is also a marvelous healing agent. One application for instance stops the itching of eczema, and a few applications cause the eruptions to dry up, scale off and completely disappear. It is equally as effective in barber’s itch, salt rheum, redness and inflammatory skin trouble. People who want to reduce varicose veins, or get rid of eczema, or piles in a few days should not hesitate to get a bottle at once. It is so powerful that a small bottle lasts a long time. Any pharmacycan supply you.—Hook Drug Cos., and Haag Drug Cos. sells lots of it. — Advertisement.

SYNOPSIS JOYCE DARING sees her home tumbling about her, just as she needs It most In her struggle with life. Three suitors are rushing her —DAVID TOMPKINS, the slow; HENRY DEACON, the joyous; and “BUTCH” SELTZER, the rough. Her parents, JOHN and AGNES DARING, decide to separate and ask her to choose between them. They each plead so justly for her love she is bewildered and puts off her decision until the morrow. ✓ CHAPTER FIVE A FIRST KISS Joyce slept heavily and long. The dance and its aftermath had taken place on Friday night so there was no school to work her the following morning. When she got up she saw by the alarm clock In the living room that it was nearly eleven. A look into her mother’s room told her that she was alone in the house. Her mother usually went to market Saturday morning to buy supplies for the week-end. Her father would be home at one for his weekly half holiday. Perhaps the events of last night had been all a bad dream. With Motherdear gone as on ordinary Saturdays It must be that she and Dads had made it all up in the night. She went into the big bedroom. A letter addressed to her lay on the bureau. With shaking hands she read it. “Darling Joyce; "I felt that I could not stay in the apartment another night. So after you had gone to bed I packed my bag and left. I will return tomorrow afternoon about one to hear what you have decided to do. “I do not want to influence you too much, but you must know Joyce that I love you as every mother loves her child. And you must know too, that I believe everyone has a right to his own life. If you come with me I will watch over you and care for you as much as you will let me. But I will not try to save you from consequences of whatever mistakes you will make in learning to meet life. “I am ambitious for you. I want you to marry as your beauty and youth deserve you should marry. But most of all I want you to be happy. And if you will be happier with your father, then I only ask the privilege of seeing you from time to time. “Your loving mother, “AGNES DARING.” In later years Joy was to see the bravery of this note. Now she saw only Its contents. She bent her head weeping over It, feeling that her mother no longer loved her. Then she thought again of life with her father. Safety, security, that was what he offered her. That and love, for Joyce knew that in his own stern unyielding way he would lay down his life for her. A knock at the door broke Into her thinking. Pu'ling her kimono closely about her, Joyce opened the door. Davey stood outside. “Oh!” said Joyce. “Can I come in?” asked Davey. Joyce opened the door a little wider. “If you won’t look.” Then she scampered into her bedroom, leaving Davey to find his way as best he could. A few minutes later Joyce came back into the living room, wearing her usual dress of dark linen with a white collar and cuffs. “Morning, Davey,” she said, hiding her embarrassment behind raillery, conscious too that, thanks to Deke’s. vanity case, she was looking her usual bright self. “Good morning, Joyce," said Davey standing up and taking her hand. Neither spoke for a moment, then Davey blurted out, “See here, Joy, I heard a lot of the talk that went on between your father and mother last night before you came home. That’s one reason why I went after you. "You see your father missed you and went down to look for you. Mr. Smith told him you had just left with Mr. Deacon and that Butch Seltzer had been trying to make you go riding with him. Your father came back here and he was pretty mad, because he said if your mother took the right kind of care of you these things wouldn’t happen to you. Then your mother came home early and they began to quarrel. I saw how things' were going and went after you.” Here Davey dropped her hand and lowered his voice. “I’d have come sooner, only I felt pretty bad about your going that way with Mr. Deacon. But when I saw that your father and mother were saying such terrible things to each other, I thought it was time yois came home. Did they—did you Joyce shook her head. “No, they didn’t make it up. I tried to get them to, but they wouldn’t. They say,” in spite of herself Joy’s voice faltered, “they say I have to choose between them which one I’m going to live with, that is.” Davey took both her hands. “No

you don’t, Joyce darling. That’s what I came to tell you. Joyce, you know I’ve always loved you; I’m only earning forty dollars a week now, but I have only myself to take care of. If you think we can live oh that and will marry me we can be married today. Will you, Joyce?” •Joyce looked at Davey through a mist of tears. How good of him! How wonderfully good of him! Dear, good, kind, slow, old Davey. Safety again! That was what Davey and men like her father mea .t in life—only, well, Dads hadn’t kept her mother safe. And how could she be sure she loved Dave/? Maybe she did. But maybe she idn’t. So she pressed Davey’s imprisoning hands and shook her head. “Davey, I can't. It’s wonderfully good, marvelously kind of you to ask me. I’m not sure that I love you. I like you better than anyone I know. But marriage—that’s different. It’s for life, even if —” the horrible example of her own home dawned before her. Marriage wasn’t for life for some people then. Now Davey was speaking again. “What are you going to do, Joyce?” “I don’t know, Davey,” she said. “I honestly don’t. And I wish you would go now and let me think of it, for I have to decide very soon.” Then Davey, the slow, the kind, found himself and took the girl in his arms. He kissed her, held her close, murmured her name against her hair, called her his sweetheart, over and over. “Joyce, Joyce, I love you. Letjne take care of you. Tell me that you do care for me a little.” Joyce shook herself free, frightened by Davey’s tenseness. “Don’t do that again, please, Davey. Not ever.” “Not ever?” asked Davey, trying to oontrol the shaking of his voice. “I don’t know,” said Joyce in a low tone. “But I'm not ready for it now. And if I ever am —well, you would know, wouldn’t you, Davey?” Davey straightened himself. “Yes, I would, Joyce. I’m sorry. I’ll go now and you must let me know what you do, where you are, and if you ever need help. You kncav there is nothing in the world I wouldn’t do for you.” He opened the door after a quick handshake and went down the stairs. Coming up and passing him was little Mary, the druggist’s daughter. She knocked at the Darings’ door just os Davey passed into the street. “There’s a feller wants to speak to you on the phone over at the store,” said Mary shifting her chewing gum. “To me?” cried Joyce, starting. “Who can it be?” She followed Mary down to the drug store. Mr. Smith was superintending the installation of anew showcase. “Got you to thank for this,” he said genially, indicating the open door of the phone booth. Joy: Hello? Voice: Is this Miss Joyce Daring? Joy: Yes, what is it .please? Voice: This la Henry Deacon, Deke, Joy. Joy: Oh, Deke Deke: How did you come out last night? I hardly slept for worrying about you. Joy: I’m all right. Deke: Your voice sounds funny. I’m coming down to see you. Anybody homfe? Joy: No, no, Deke. Don’t come down now. Please! Deke: Why not? I feel as though I got you Into this mess partly by running off with you last night. Please let me come down to talk to you. I won’t stay. I can be down in ten minutes. Joy: I oughtn't to let you come—oh, well! Come on. But you can’t stay. „ Deke: Righto. That’s the girl. I’ll start right away. Good-by—see you later. Joy walked slowly out of the phone booth and into the warm spring sunshine. Sitting in a car parked at the curb was Butch Seltzer, an ungly lump swollen on his chin. He got out of the car as Joyce left the store and stopped her. “Say, Joyce,” he began. “I heard your old man chased the old woman out last night and that they’ve busted up. Mrs. Smith

seen your mother leave about one o’clock with a valise." Joy’s face admitted the truth of the neighborhood gossip which had been rife with the affairs of the Darings for some time now. “Well, lookahere,” went on Butch. “You know qou’ve knocked me cold. I’m crazy about you, girl, and if the old man and woman’s busted up and you want a place to go, don’t you forget Butch. I’ll take you over to my sister’s in Ashtabula and pay board there for you long’s you want to say and never bother you none at all." There was such evident sincerity in the offer that Joyce looked up and smiled. “Thank you, Butch,” she said. “1 don’t know just what I am going to do yet. It’s nice of you to offer to helup me. And I'm sorry about last night, too.” Butch’s face darkened. “You tell that fancy feller of yours to look out,” he said. “He don’t mean you no good either, Joy. He’s a swell and you ain’t got nuthin’ but a pretty face." Joyce’s mood of gratitude changed. Butch and her father! Even Dave, shj felt. How they all jumped on Deae, just because his father had money. She brushed past Butch and went home, leaving him to stare moodily after her before he turned into the drug store for a package of cigarettes., She had hardly reached home before a knock at the door told her of Deke’s arrival. “Good morning!" she called as she opened the door to him. "Joyce,” he took her hands. “Say you look nona the worse for what happened last night. Prettier than ever, if anything.” Joyce withdrew her hands. “Why did you come?” she asked, a realization that they must get this interview over quickly taking possession of her. Deke stared a little at her abruptness. “I came to help you if I could” he said. Davey knew. Butch knew. Why shouldn’t she tell Deke? He would have to know soon, anyway, that is if he still cared to seo her when he knew that her father and mother were—separated. She still shrank from the word. “My father and mother are going to get a separation,” she said slowly. “I have to decide this morning which one of them I am going to live with.” Deke whistled. 4'So that’s the lay of the land. Well, what are you going to do? Personally I hope you pick your mother, for I can’t see myself making any impression on your father at all.” “I can’t choose,” said Joyce mournfully. “I love them both. I even think, they both are right. I don’t know what to do.”

Deke stuck hip hands in his pockets and thought rapidly. “See here, Joyce, what were you going to do after you graduated next week, anyway?” ~ “Why, I hadn’t thought much about it,” said the girl slowly. "I knew I couldn’t go to college. So 1 just soft of planned to stay home a while, then get some kind of work. Dads wouldn't let me take a business course. He wanted me to stay home until —until I got married.” "You ought to go on to school,” said Deke. “It’s a shame for you to have to stop now. If I were through —but that’s no use. I’ve got to finish one more year; then I’ll be through college and I'm going into Dad's business. I wish I were through now. Do you know what I’d do? I’d ask you to marry me.” Joyce made no answer. Davey’s proposal had thrilled her far more. Then Butch. And now Deke. What nice boys they all were, each in his way, when her happiness was threatened. “There’s no use being sentimental about this,” said Deke. “I’m crazy abdut you. I never knew a girl to upset me so before. And I think you like me. But it’s too soon to know whether it’s the real thing or not. We couldn’t either of us be sure. But I want to see you a lot and Joyce, I do want to ask you this: Will you wait a year before you marry anybody? You’re awfully young. Right now I want to teach you all about love. But it wouldn’t be fair, you’re tired, and distracted with this home trouble. But I do want to help you. * “I don’t know what you can do," said Joyce miserably. “You needn’t worry about my getting married. From what I’ve seen of marriage it isn’t much fun anyway." “Joyce!” Deke spoke sharply. “Don’t talk that way. You ought to see my father and mother. Happy as they can be. They started out poor like your father and mother, and now dad has loads of money, but it hasn’t spoiled either of them a bit. They’d love you for what you are, Just as I do.” Deke walked twice around the room. Then he came to a decision. “Do you know what I think, Joyce?” he said. He put his hands on her shoulders for a moment, then put them firmly behind his back. "I don’t think you ought to go with either your father or mother. You’re eighteen now and can do as you please. Now I’ve got some money—about a thousand dollars—that’s all mine. An aunt left it to me. Let me give you that; lend you that if you prefer, and you take it and go to school somewhere this fall. Then next spring when I’m through college perhaps we can be married. And you don’t want me then why we’ll forget about the money and be good friends anyway.” Joyce was frankly crying now. “Deke, Deke,” she sobbed. “That’s wonderful of you. But I couldn’t I Just couldn’t. Thank you a million times. But don’t you see how I couldn’t —” “No, I don’t” said Deke bluntly. "But if you dan’t, you can’t. The offer's open anytime you want it.” "You must go now, Deke,” said Joy, holding out her hand. “The folks will be home soon and they mustn’t find you here. That would only make it harder. Good-by.” “You’re going to let me hear from you, Joy. Don’t forget that,” said Deke earnestly. “Yes, yes,” she nodded. "Now, go! Please!” Deke hesitated a moment, then left without touching her. Joyce went back into her bedroom. Her mind was made up. She tossed the most presentable part of her wardrobe Into a traveling bag. From a dresser drawer she /took a bank book In which the first entry was “June 11, 1907 —$1”, for her first birthday. There was a total now of two hundred dollars. She 'thrust it into her coat pocket. Then she took a sheet *of note paper and wrote rapidly: “Mother dear and Dads: “Sines you can’t keep a home for me any longer, lam going away. I know I will miss my graduation,

I am eighteen, you know. “Your loving daughter, “JOYCE DARING.” A few minutes later Joyce boarded a downtown car carrying her traveling bag. Halfway downtown, a sign, “Rooms for rent. Boarding," caught her eye. Why go to the Y. W. C. A. She dismounted from the car, walked up on the porch and rang the bell. Monday: What a world! Two people married 20 years decide to separate, even thougn they will make their only child, a girl of 18, homeless. Three boys, knowing nothing of marriage, each offers it as a sanctuary to the helpless girl. Read tomorrow how Joyce Daring starts to' try her own wings in “Joy,” the love story of an American girl.
