Wiut Has Gone Bkfobs: David ’ Langston, handsome young Jarm< r o] the Lunberloet country in Indiana, has started budding a hou^g on his Jarmstiad. Thrt immediately starts village tongues to wagging in speculation over which of the village belles is to be his bride. Although David has no definite plans for matrimony, he is devoted. to Ruth Jameson, an orphan who, with her young sister Naomi, lives with Granny Moreland on the farm adjacent to his own. However, Mrs. Biddle, society autocrat, determines that David shall marry her daughter, Thelma, and with this end in view pi rsuades Ruth, the penniless rival, to come into her home as a menial The night of Thelma’s twenty-first birthday party, she dil utes, l.’uth will be kept busy in the kitchen!

Ruth said quickly, when he offered to help her, and her eyes lighted with joy at seeing him again. Her heart thumped madly when he said; "Vv'e vc missed you!" And she lied stoutly when he asked if she were happy there. She smiled when he told her about the bathtub now installed in the new house. They had , gone together to look at it in Jake Ebbon s store. “We had a lovely time that day!” Ru!h sighed. 1 ut Mrs. Biddle broke in upon the ha; py interlude. "Thelma's looking for you,” she said, taking David's arm and urging him toward the door. To Ruth she said shortly: t "You can pass the icu urwuu while ti»e gake's being cub”

"Congratulations, David, my boy!” said a voice from the* doorway. David looked up, too to speak, act, or even think. Mrs. Biddle was standing there, waving her fan and smiling with tremendous self-satisfaction "1 cannot tell you how glad 1 am that Thelma has given her little heart to you." Mrs. Biddle had reason to beam! Thelma had managed very cleverly. David tried to smile, to carry it off somehow. It was so hard to explain just now that the whole thing was a mistake. Mrs. Biddle made it doubly hard; almost impossible, in fae‘. Without wasting any time she turned back into the room and exultingly rapped for attention. ‘Tdsten. everybody. The loveliest thing has just happened! David has proposed, and my little girl has accepted hirri." There was a flurry of excitement in the little room. Gay voices rose in noisy congratulation. A group of girls surrounded Thelma and gushed over her, while the men clapped David on the back and shook his hand heartily. “I know it two weeks ago," Miss Sophionia said importantly. But Ruth, standing alone In the dining-room, the tray of empty Icecream dishes in her hands, stared at them in tragic surprise. Her eyes filled with blinding tears, she stumbled back into the kitchen. I'To be continued^.

The cutting of the cake was the big moment of the evening.

"You're sweet, David!” Slipping her fingers inlo his pocket, Thelnu drew out the ring and tucked it into Ins hand "What are you going to do with it?" she asked expectantly. “Give it away, 1 guess...It’s too small for me." He moved uncomfortably. "Is it too small for me?" Thelma persisted. And unsuspectingly, David slipped It over the slim finger she held up. "That's my engagement finger!’’ Her voice was a hit of triumph. She smiled up ut him bewilderingly. "Well — aren't you going to propose to me?" Startled, David swallowed painfully. “Why—why—I—I never —”

Office buildings might ire used as factories, temples as work shops or canneries. Power stations and transportation lines would be vital.

which was explained by John J. Millie:. professor of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, where the discovery was made combines silver nitrate and colloidal silver. Silver nitrate, a salt, is probably one of the most potent germicides, hut burns. Colloidal silver is mild, hut lucks much of the metal's germicidal ability. The new powder, when mixed with paraffin, makes a salve for external use and it will dissolve in water for use internally. A test proving its non-intoxicating properties was made substituting the germ killer for drinking water and given to baby chicks. On the "silver water” the chicks grew to full feather and showed no signs of retardation or bad effects. Tests for medicinal effects were made in conjunction with Dr. William I-entz, of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the university, but the findings were not published. Previous experiments with various forms of silver caused argyria, or deposit of metallic silver in the skin, turning a person a ghastly gray color. The new brown powder caused nothing of the like to happen. This new discovery has been placed on the most delicate membrances, including the eye, without irritation. It has been given only to animals by the mouth, and cats, dogs, horses and cows have been cured of intersinal infections without iff effects. Muller discovered the germicidal’s remarkable and unexpected solubility in water and other substances while making pure silver oxides for nonmedical uses. BANNER WANT ADs PAY

preme court on questions of constitutionality. The business of the historian, he said, is to "present the past as a living thing lather than to pass judgment upon it.” In the final passages of his 8!1Jpage volume which required 10 years of preparation, McLaughlin wrote: “We are led to reflect upon the obvious. The constitutional system, which, when it was established, derived its substance from the experiences and efforts of previous centuries, has survived. In this modern world, that simple fact is an achievement. Formed for fewer than 4.000,000 people living in a narrow area along the coast, it has been adapted to the needs of 50 times that number occupying half a continent. “If federalism, democracy, and individual liberty are drowned in the torrent and whirlpool of the future because men are found incompetent to govern themselves, the historical fact remains for a hundred and fifty years the constitution lasted as the fundamental law of a successful people.” BLAME “111. \< K LEGION” CHICAGO.
