brown eyes that were a little hard in expression, and coarse iron-gray hair. Her deep voice reached them from various parts of the house. Ruth had already started a garden, on a larger scale than usual, since she planned to keep "boarders" the next winter and wanted to cut costs as much as possible. Sometimes she worked in it, with her father giving a little light help. He was not strong, and could not do anything strenuous without having a heart attack. But he made the work interesting by his knowledge of plant life, so that Ruth felt each hour in the garden was a lesson in biology. Nevertheless, her days of comparative rest did not make her look better, as her mother noted with concern. "She needs a compile change." she told Mr. O'Niel, and they planned how she might have one. "No use sending her to Sarah," they agreed. "It's too hot there in the summer, and the town is dead when the college is closed. She needs a complete change." "Of course. If she could only go and visit her chum in the city!" Mrs. O'Niel determined that this f-hould happen- Meantime, she began going over accounts, the house, the tank, debts, receipts One day she called Ruth in to the library. Her face was white as white as it could be under the naturally brownish tinge of her skin. "I hate to add this to your worries," she said. "You've done so wonderfully

In snob a matter you should consider your husband's feelings, and since he is of a jealous disposition, you should not run the risk of hurting him. Try to get your husband's point of view. Do not blame him for his attitude. He is worried probably because he does not make more money and realizes that he is not offering you enough to keep you contented. Since yon have done all you can to explain your innocence, try to avoid conversations and arguments about the matter. By love you will be able to win back his confidence in you. Faith in your husband's ability to succeed will also help him in business.

DEMOCRATS TO OBSERVE JEFFERSON'S BIRTHDAY INDIANAPOLIS, April 8. Thomas Jefferson's birthday will be celebrated at a mass meeting of the Indiana Democratic club next Tuesday evening. All speakers, the club announces, will be young men and Americanism will be the keynote.

FOR FAILURES, CLAIMS

OHIO STATE PRESIDENT

COLUMBUS, 0., April 8. Ohio State University itself was responsible for the large number of failures among students at the mid-year examinations, President W. O. Thompson of the school says in an article written for the April Better Schools Bulletin of the state department of public instruction. "In my humble opinion the difficulties that occur in any school are difficulties for which the school Itself is responsible," Dr. Thompson wrote. "This principle applies both to high schools and colleges." Dr. Thompson's article was an an-

woald not be true, but I am prepared to say in my judgement It is a weak excuse for the purpose of evading responsibility on the part of the teachers. In my humble opinion, the difficulties that occur in any school are difficulties for which the school itself is responsible."

The bill, which contains measures approved by the committee on standards of the American Association of State Highway Officials, would have red signs to indicate first degree danger, such as railroad crossings, dead ends of roads, or lift bridges; yellow indicating second degree danger at curves or grades; and green showing moving or traffic danger only to be used at road intersections. Many national organizations interested in the move to reduce the annual automobile toll have expressed their endorsement of the bill's proposals. Recent investigation, it is pointed out, shows that many leading American cities have failed to unite on a uniform use of color in highway signalling. Red, for instance, meaning first degree danger or an absolute stop signal in one town, is used in the next town at a place where green should be employed. Two hundred American cities and towns are reported already to have
