INLAND WATERWAY . IMPROVEMENT TO BE ASKED BY DELEGATES

(By Associated Press) , ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 29. Spokesmen from 27 central states will ask an annual appropriation of 100,000,000 for 10 years when they appear before the sub-committee of the House Committee on Appropriations Jan. 19 and 20 in the interest of -waterways Im provements. This was announced by J james ta. smun or mis city, vice presi dent in charge of waterways of the Mississippi Valley association, who will head the delegation. Mr. Smith asserted approximately 500 persons would compose the delegation, and that virtually every one of the 250 congressional districts in the 27 Valley states would be represented. Prominent business men and representatives of farmers' organizations have promised to appear before the subcommittee, he added. Consider Sum Reasonable. The appropriation to be asked is not excessive, Mr. Smith declared, as that amount is needed to make proper improvements on the country's natural carriers. Representative Campbell of Pennsylvania, Mr. Smith continued, has promised to resubmit to the next congress his bill of the last congress, providing for the expenditure of $100,000,000 a year for five years, altered to provide for the appropriation of that amount each year for 10 years, for inland war terways improvements. Passage of the Newton bill will be demanded. Mr. Smith explained. This bill calls for the expenditure of $100,-1 000,000 to complete improvements already begun. These improvements are establishment of a 9-foot channel in the Mississippi from the mouth of the Missouri river to New Orleans; a 6-foot channel j in the Mississippi from St. L,ouis to Minneapolis; a 9-foot channel in the Ohio from Pittsburgh to Cairo; and a 6-foot channel in the Missouri from St. Louis to Kansas City. Mr. Smith said he expected the delegation's visit to be especially fruitful as It would "exceed in numbers and personal influence" the delegation of 300 which, two years ago visited Washington and obtained the establishment of the government barge line on the Mississippi. Greens fork Woman Chosen Friendless Home Matron Mrs. Louisa Plough, matron of the Home for the Friendles, has resigned. She will leave her place Friday, and Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, county probation odlcer, will take charge for the month of January. Mrs. Sue Gaylor, of Greensfork will assume the duties of matron on Feb. 1. ' Mrs. Plough and her daughter, have been in charge of the home since March 23, 1920. They plan to remain in Richmond. Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going with a young lady for about six months. ,; I have asked her twice, to marry me, but she evades the subject and will not give me an answer. Shall I ask her .again or drop her? Can you give me some advice as to how I should act towards her? Should I demand an answer or should I keep going with her and see later on how she feels about marrying me? Do you think she loves me? VERY TRULY. I wou'd advise you to keep going with her and see later on how she feels about marrying you. To demand an answer after six months of friendship might mean that you would lose her entirely. Stop talking about love. If she thinks you have got over your deep feelings toward her. she may think she is losing you and on the strength of it feel a greater regard for you. I do not think she loves you now, but if you are patient and do not hurry matters she may learn to care for you. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think a young lady of 17 years, who has epilepsy and has been to the hospital and cannot be cured, should fall in love with a young gentleman? My father says "No." and my mother is dead. Please advise me. GRAY EYES. A girl who has epilepsy cannot help falling in love any more than a well person, but she should not marry. To remain single would take great courage on her part, but to marry would be a crime because of the chi'dren that would probably result from the union. Ohio News Flashes DAYTON Va expenditure of $5.000,000 will be necessary to continue the flood prevention improvements in the Miami Valley the coming year, according to best estimates obtainable. STEU RENVILLE Lawrence Shields, 34 years old. complained to county officials that 1; had been assaulted and robbed of $28 and a gold watch while a prisoner in the Jefferson county jell. He charged that his assailants were negro prisoners, and that while one stood on his neck the other two robbed him. "I thought jail was about the safest place in the world for a man to be, but I guess I was mistaken," he said. COLUMBUS Coal operators in the Hocking Valley have started a concerted movement to get away from the custom of Saturday holidays. Success is anticipated. At this "time of coal shortage it is necessary for all forces to be at productive work and it will be furthermore urged upon the miners that they should work on Saturdays because their contracts demand it TOLEDO So general has drinking become at young people's dances and festivities here, it is claimed, that prohibition agents may be ordered to attend high school and other fraternity dances here to enforce the dry regulations.

SWEETHEART AT THIRTY

The Story of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 62 ESTHER'S PHILOSOPHY The morning of the day we expected Helen to arrive, Esther and I worked together fixing up her room. We were giving her Laura's old room. It had an iron bed, white

enamelled, the pride of Laura's heart ne ireuea. i aon i Know when she lived with us it was ahflre e Sfts it, not from my family. ' curious affair with the bars "twisted I f lumbered across the room. In

into some sore of fuMIe desizn some chairs and a queer, heavy, walnut Bureau. It was anything but attractive. But Violet and I put in the Japanese prints we brought home with us, and placed a large jar of old-fashioned flow - i a couple of my brass candlesticks. I brought in .the plain, rug. from , Vi's room and we laundered the curtains and it was at least, fresh and clean. and made liveable by the flowers Esther and I were dusting and making up the bed. "How about this Helen?" Esther asked suddenly. "She's Vi's friend, i.sn't she?" "Vi's and mine," I answered. "And yours? Why, isn't she j.g ! " 1 eg "No. she's almost as old as I am," I i i-ij l j "She i?!" Esther's mouth always I dropped when she was astonished. F.nd , it gave her such a curious expression. : "I thought she was a young girl. So. j she's your age! Pretty?" j j I guessed at once what was in her( mind. Never before had Esther feared j . another woman. Now she was afraid of them all. I did not envy her. j For when trust goes, it takes everything with it. Eventually it ; lakes even love, for there can be ! no love where there is no contii denee. The woman to whom every j other womrin is a possible unpleasI rnt complication and a danger, is ! the unhappiest woman in the world. i "No, she's not pretty," I answered, ' pitying her as I saw her features relax. "But she is really very nice and i we like her a lot, and I'm sure you will I too." Esther looked over at me. Then a little shame-faced smile spread over her face. "I guess you know why I asked," she said. "I guess you've got a perfect right to think I'm a fool. But I dunno where I stand any more, not since James out with what he knew about that other woman. ' Of course, I always knew men ran wild a hit," she wpnt on. smoothing a perfectly smooth pillow absent-mindedly. "But I guess I thought Jim was different. He used to be so much in love with me. Do you think it's my fault he isn't now?" "Did you try to keep up the romance of your early married life?" I did not want to say this, but 1 felt so strongly that 1 knew the reason for Esther's unhappiness that I could not help myself. "Do you think there's much romane in this? She waved a hand that took in, somehow, our plain little farmhouse and the whole farm. "Not much chance for ihe novel and love story stuff when you work 16 hours a day. And then hard work pulls you down, rnd you lose your looks, and there you are. Some young chit comes along that hasn't worked out her soul for a man. and off he goes after her." "It's always the man's fault then?" I put it as a question. "It is when the woman's been a good and faithful wife." She evidently took my words as a statement. "And I been that. He wouldn't have found a better one I kept his house well and I never snent a cent more'n I could, and I helped lv'm save, and raised his children healthy. And you know what I get. . "But I guess," she said, going back and smoothing once more the perfectly smooth pillow, "I guess I ain't getting any worse deal than most. All men are alike, if it ain't one thin It's another. I don't know any wives that are perfectly happy. "As far as Jim goes, .he's promised not to see this this creature," a little venom came out in this remark, i "So I forgave him. and everything's as it was before. But I euess it's only a

If I could only find out I from James! But he's as stubborn as a balky a "uupu rusn or pny l went to ner. "Look here, Esther, you go on in and live with Violet this winter," I said. "Even if Jim thinks he can't spare the money, you'll have mine. You can stay till mid-winter. And you just do ail the things 1 did.
