The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM,

Chapter 36. . . LOST. A long description of the apartment followed In Myra's letter; and farther

activities of Emily, now in town and allowed out only for an hour a day. Myra evidently had no Intention of returning to the little home city. "I can't, you know, because Tim wants me to be near him. I suppose I must tell it sometime, and I may as well do it now. Tim and I are engaged ! " It came to her Just like that, and Ruth, reading the letter, suddenly went cold all over. Her fear of something like this had been so great that she took Myra's letter up to her room, to be alone when she read it. So it was true! So Myra had flirted with him! So the almost inevitable result of their propinquity was this! Ruth never finished reading that letter. It was a cruel pain even to look at it. Days later she found it where she had hastily stuffed it into her desk drawer, and she took it downstairs and burnt it in the kitchen stove, stirring the black ashes until they mixed with the red coals and could not be seen any longer. Myra and Tim engaged! The top of her bead felt cold, her bands were wet and like ice, and for some time she could not think clearly. Myra and Tim her Tim, the tall, strong, impetuous boy who had swept her into his arms, who had kissed her and who had de- ' dared he would never love anyone

else! And to Myra! In the old days Myra had not liked him much; at least, she had given no evidence of more than casual friendship before Ruth. And Tim had not liked Myra at all. He had even said She went to her little "treasure box" where she had kept all his letters. She wanted to see what he had said, earlier. But much might happen over the winter. Her own letters could not have been interesting. All winter she had stayed home and worked. She never had anything to tell, except her steadily increasing love, and perhaps he had tired of that. Certainly Myra in her cozy, luxurious apartment, with her splendid dresses and her numerous engagements, would have proved much more fascinating than herself poor, dull, little keeper of a lodging house! But she did not read the letters over

began watching the children. Their, faces were often pale; some of them, looked like little old men and women. Some were plainly suffering from rickets, many were bow-legged from being allowed to walk before they were strong enough. Wages were low and work scarce that year, as Ruth knew. Her walk did not cheer her, and when it was dark she turned back with a feeling of relief at getting out of sc gloomy a place. What a life for those people! Why couldn't they have decent homes and a little beauty, even if they were poor? They might improve on what they had. but many did not possess initiative. Perhaps if they were given a start ' Out of such vague thoughts a great deal was to come. But Ruth wasted little sympathy on the poor that night.

It was Tim and Myra and herself that occupied her. " Everything was gone. Her chance to work would she, too, have to enter a factory? Her chance to lore her chance to live! Everything waa gone, and ahead was only a long and lonely struggle with poverty, in a small town where nothing happened. If she could only have gone to the city last winter! She entered the library at home to find her Aunt Sarah there with her family. There was much laughter and excitement. "And she wants to send you away for a trip," Mrs. O'Neal cried "Ruth here's your chance to go to New York!" And they stared in amazement when the girl suddenly burst into hysterical sobs and left the room. New York now! Monday Going away-

a tariff debate of a distinction adequate to the best traditions of the senate. The traditional Democratic attitude of course, is as to the tariff, revenue only, and as to taxation, no taxes on fundamental articles of food, clothing or shelter. Whether under the changed conditions the Democrats

A great many of the troubles my readers have are due only to their nervous systems. It is amazing the unexpected results that nervousness will have onxme's health and looks. Some cases of baldness are due to nervousness. A great deal of dandruff is due to a neurotic condition. It is indirectly the reason for falling hair. It is a cause of some varieties of eczema. It is sometimes the reason for a coarse-grained skin, because it makes the complexion very dry and coarse pores are apt to result from this. It is very frequently the cause of excessive perspiration. In fact it is responsible for so many things of this Bort that I have not space here to tell them all. We all know what nervous depression is! We know that curious, unexplainable feeling, that makes us want to get away from the thing we are doing, yet seems to deprive us of sufficient energy to change. Nervousness is the cause of all sorts of foot troubles. Sometimes even of a queer little spot that comes on the bottom of the foot that makes walking painful and that develops into something very much like a corn. Yet

system is refusing food so that you develop poisons which come out as pimples. and other blemishes. The only way that you can break yourself of the habit of biting your nails is to use your will-power. Possibly if you rub the nails with alum, the taste of it may remind you not to bite them. S. M. If the face breaks out in pimples, there is some sort of stomach or bowel disorder. Go on a diet and take either a tea spoonful of agar with your meals or three cakes of yeast,

size is kept at 435 it will mean that in

the shifting of population revealed by the last census certain states will gain members and certain other states, notably Missouri, Iowa and Indiana, will lose members. It is the hesitancy to compel any state to have a smallev number of congressmen than it has heretofore had and a fraternal dislike on the part of members of congress to exile "some of their associates that constitutes the only argument for increasing membership. One other important measure that will come up early in the new session is the bill appropriating twenty-five million dollars to Columbia to cover damages alleged to have been done that country by our action in recognizing the Republic of Panama when it seceded from Columbia in connec

tion with the building of the Panama I

canal. Strong Opposition. To this bill there will be strong opposition. It was prabably a mere accident that led President Harding to choose this measure as the Srst that he has asked the senate to accept as a part of his programme in the field

of foreign relations. Nevertheless as j it has turned out, he is now in the j

position at the very cutset of his administration of pressing for the passage of a treaty which is going to have determined opposition. Two things will come up in the coming congress which are in the na'ure ot unfinished business. They are the

All this program of the Republicans

is within the field of what may be termed the material side of the government, the field of ordinary government housekeeping, business methods and routine. It contains nothing within the field of Idealism, and nothing related to those great questions which compose the spectacular milestones of

njstory. If anything of that kind

kind certainly must com up. It must tome up because Harding has promised it. But for the present, there Is no crystallization among the leaders of a kind likely to lead to immediate Initiative. on the part of America. The fact that this is a condition which may change on any day, does not make it any the less a fact. Many millions of our citizens wish that this were not so but for the present that is all that can be said in an account intended to record what is actually in sight.

They were not actually engaged, but siirely it was understood. For he was to go to the city and send for her when he could afford to marry. If he could not afford to marry her, he could not afford to marry Myra! Some comfort came from that at least the engagement was settled to that extent. If only she could have gone to the city! Tim would have been near her and Myra would not have Have what? Perhaps they really were in love! Perhaps Myra truly cared and it was not a flirtation. Perhaps Tim really wanted 'Myra, not herself.

REPUBLICAN (Continued from Page One.) comes, the ones which run over 40 to 70 per cent, will be repealed and rearranged so that 40 per cent will ba the highest tax laid on any income. The purpose of this change on large incomes is not primarily to make it easier for the rich. The purpose is based on the discovery by experience that the present surtaxes have caused the owners of large amounts of money

of Senator Borah and others to bring

about some degree of disarmament.

This, as well as the Colombia treaty, will be a field in which some degree i of insurgency may arise. j So much for the Republican pro-.

gram, as to the Democrats the only program they can have as a minority

party is a program of opposition. Just !

what they will do in that line is not yet crystalized. Democrats Feeble In the house the Democratic representation is so small compared to the Republican that the party will necessarily be feeble. Even more striking than their weakness in numbers is their weakness' in leadership. In fact, in the house so many able Democrats were dislodged by the landslide last November that it can almost be said that their leadership there, so far as it can now be forseen, will be negligible. In the senate while the Democrats are ony 31 out of 96, they number among them so many able men that their leadership in opposition

There are a number of isolated measures which will come up from time to time: One will be the immigration restriction bill which was passed by the last congress by a majority of 30 to 1 in the senate and 7 to 1 in the house, but which was veloed by Wilson. There is no reason to anticipate that the preponderance of sentiment in favor of this bill will

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 18, and have been keeping company with a fellow four years my senior for the past six months. The fellow seemed very nice and respectful, but in the past three weeks there has been a little trouble between us. Soon after our trouble he went with another girl who was not very respectable. Of course this became the talk of the town, which put me in a very bad place. Soon after this I met him. He admitted this to be true, but still wanted me to go with him, saying nothing would ever happen like that in the future. His past life I know nothing about, because I have only known hint about a year, but I have heard things about him but cannot say they are true. My parents were very much disappointed in him and forbid me keeping company with him. Do you think it would be proper for me to continue our friendship in .the future, providing hp keeps his promise? DIMPLES. Obey youi1 parents since they have forbidden you to keep company with the young man. I would advise you to aim higher in your friendships. Something is wrong with the young man's character or he would not have stooped to a thing liich was so bad it made the whole town talk. Tell him to earn the friendship of respectable jrirls by risiDg above the sort of thing he has just done. Until he shows himself to be worthy and wins the respect of your parents, regard him as an acquaintance, but not as a friend

by reducing the higher rates the possessors of these large fortunes will be induced to restore their money to investment in the development of private corporations, like railroads, public utilities and other forms of private business. If anv chanere on the smaller in

comes from $50,000 a year to $100,000 j is made it is more likely to be in the direction of increasing them than of; reducing them. j Another Change j Another change tentatively dis-j cussed in the field of taxation is the! repeal of the excess profits tax on ! corporations. This repeal i3 eontem-j plated partly on the theory that during the present period of deflations the corporations will not have large profits and this form of taxation will , yield little. I The final change within the field of taxation that so far that has the approval of any number of important j leaders is the adoption of the "direct, sales tax," which is substantially as: tax of either one-half of one percent; or one per cent, as may later be de-j cided. on the entire gross sales of; everybody who sells goods or serv-1 ices. j As to the making the new permanent tariff, the Republican leaders are ' just beginning to see the expected dif ficulty and opposition inherent in the I change brought about by the war in j the fiscal and economic relations ofi America to the rest of the world. The fact that war changed us from a bor-. rowing nation to a lending nation and; that a lending nation always tends j toward facilitating imports is just be-! ginning to be apparent. The advocates of a tariff high to the point of j being prohibitive will not have in the. present congress the support theyi have had in the past from the manu-J facturtng and capitalist classes of the!

east. Farmers Want Tariff. The strongest demand for a high tariff now comes, not from the manufacturing communities of New England and the East, so much as from the farming communities of the middle West and West. In any even of this situation will

You Need No Knowledge of Music Whatever To Play And Enjoy A STARR Made Player Piano All of the expression devices are very simple, enabling the inexperienced person to bring out the sweet melody and render the music with genuine expression and feeling. The mechanical sound which is so characteristic in many player-pianos is absent in the Starr-made Players ; hence, the objection so often made against other makes is entirely eliminated in the Starr. Starr-made Players are fully as well adapted for handplaying in the ordinary way as for expression with the music roll. Your children's musical education can be completed just as satisfactorily as on any other good .piano, and you have the advantage of the automatic playing feature when you want it.
