WILSON ANSWER TODAY State Rank Commissioner Dcnlog Charges of Governor Allen. S. M. Brewster, former attorney general and one of the attorneys for Walter K. Wilson, state bank commis- ioner. announced this morning that he answer t the ouster petition filed ov Attorney General Hopkins against Wilson at the direction of Governor Allen would be filed some time today. Governor Allen directed the attorney general to begin proceedings against Wilson following criticism of the way he handled the affairs of the wrecked Broeker-Lefferdink bank at yalina and following the failures of the Aulne and Hanover state banks on the same day several months ago. it is understood that the answer filed by Wilson's attorneys will contain a general denial of the charges in the Hopkins petition. The most serious of these charges is that Wilson permit ted the wrecked Salina bank to oper ate after he knew it was insolvent. In addition to the answer, Wilson's at torneys were expected to file a motion to require the state to make the charges more specific as to all the charges. 24 Years Much Too Long For Business Trip Muskogee.

WAS ADVICE OF EXPERTS Bolsheviki Determined to Take "Warsaw Then Make Peace. Lloyd George Anxious to Avoid Declaration of War. Hythe Eng., Aug. 9. The allied conference her reached a comolete agreement this afternoon on plans for dealing with tne Russo-Polish forces. They include the reimposition of the blockade, but on the advice of the experts, no allied troops will be em ployed. Poland Complains to League. London. Auc 9. Poland has com plained to the League of Nations against the conduct of the Russians, it was reported today. The Polish foreign office was said to have sant a note to the league charging that the Reds by various pretexts refused to negotiate an armistice. It places sole ly on Russia the responsibility for con tinued fighting. The Russian situation, is going be fore the British cabinet tonight and bi fore parliament tomorrow, accord ing to decisions reached at the con ferences between Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand at Hythe today. Millerand planned to start for Paris this afternoon where the situation will probably be placed before his ministry. Pound Warsaw Fort. While Lloyd George and Millerand were going over the recommendations for military and naval action submit ted to them by Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wilson and Admiral Beatty, the Russians were pounding forts of Warsaw, while masses of Bolshevik cavalry scoured the country toward the Warsaw-Danzig railway, the mailt artery connecting Poland with the ailies. The Polish official statement ald the "enemy's massed cavalry" had taken Przanyaz. forty miles north of Warsaw. Russia has refused the British prof ferof a ten day peace during which a temporary peace could be arranged, and has proposed that another meet ing be held at Minsk on Wednesday between Polish and Russian armistice delegates to agree on a basis for ces sation of hostilities. Meanwhile, how ever, the Bolshevik offensive contin ues with manv indications that the Reds are determined to take Warsaw before making peace terms. Advices from Warsaw said that the streams of refugees from Warsaw con tinued to flow westward from the city, while the peasants, fleeing before the Bolshevik advanceswarmed into the town from the east. The Polish army had 'lost contact with the -enemy at many places by means of a strategic retreat and the country thus surren dered was being overruu with the Russian cavalrymen, who swarmed over roads and fields in dense masses. I.Ioyd George Xot Warlike. Premier Lloyd George was under stood to be striving his hardest to find I a way out without actual hostilities, while it was reported the French were urging immediate decisive military ac- j tion. The probability -was that unless the new Russian note, which was ex pected to outline fundamental peace terms, changed the situation, the pre miers would compro --ise on a policy under which they would aid Poland with munitions and blockade Russia, unless thev determined definitely I whether Russia menaced Poland's Integrity. In the event that Poland's independence was menaced, the allies would adopt more drastic measures, it was believed. There were rumors that Lloyd George would try to turn the blockade of Russia over to the League of Na tions, thus avoiding antagonizing the laborites who sympathize with Rus sia.

State Department Says "o "ote Sent to Allies. At Same Time Paris Reports Receipt of Note. WILSON MUST TAKE ACTION New Stand by Moscow Calls for United States Expression. Believed President and Colby Are Agreed on Plan. Paris. Aug. 9.- The American note regarding the Russian situation is be ing delivered to the French foreign office today.Mt was learned in an au thoritative quarter todajf. Colby Denies Note. "Washington, Aug. 9. Stat de partment officials today disclaimed alt knowledge of a note from the United States gnvernment'ta th? French for eign office on the ftussor Polish sit uation. White House officials refused to discuss a Paris dispatch stating that such a note was being received at the- foreign of f Ice ithere. Secretary Colby said there was "no foundation" for lhe statement that a note had been sent. Under Secretary Davis also declared no note had gone thru the department. White House attaches refused to state whether the reported note was sent directly from the White House without going thru tne usual state department channels. Wilson Will Take Action. President Wilson soon will take some action to extend American sup port to Poland, it was confidently be lieved here today. The rejection by the soviet government of Russia of the truce proposed by Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain has made it necessary that any action by this gov ernment must not be. delayed many hours, military men and officials here said. Officials said Russia is determined to take Warsaw and then dictate the peace of Poland. All official advices to the state de partment have indicated a determined intention of the soviet regime to cap ture the Polish capital and all nego tiations by the Russian for an armi stice or peace are believed to have been designed to gain time and to crip ple the morale of Poland tor the end that Warsaw might be' taken.- Presi dent Wilson is understood to be deter mined that Poland must not be elimi nated as a strong nation by the Bol sheviki. It is believed here that President Wilson and Secretary of State Colby have already tentatively decided on some plan.. The state department here was be lieved to bo waiting on the result of the. Hythe- conference of Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand. State Department Says No. There was no inclination by state i department officials today, however, to deny a general impression that President Wilson soon will take some action. State department heads said they had no knowledge of a letter re ported to have been sent by President Wilson to Senator Hitchcock, stating that the United States would keep hante off the Polish situation. Ac cording to the report, a secretary of one of the foreign legations here was authority for the; statement. At Sen ator Hitchcock's office, it was stated no such letter had been received. A more hopeful view of the situation before Warsaw was prompted by the state department advices from the Polish capital today. The official advices from the Ameri can legation reviewing the situation up to Saturday night, state that while the Bolshevik troops continued dis turbingly near Warsaw, the. defense of the city is being maintained with re newed spirit by-the Polish forces.

Roosevelt will make his arrangements for his swing thru the west. For "Greater America." A "greater America," nationally and internationally, was the kevnote of the spteeh of Franklin D. Roosevelt, in accepting the nomination. Realiza tion of greatness for America depends. Roosevelt said, on the solving of two great problems by the next national administration "dur relations with the world, and the, pressing need of organized progress at home." He declared Governor Cox Is pre eminently qualified in spirit, training and experience to meet and solve these problems properly, "one who can lead this nation forward in an unhalting march of progress." In world problems. Roosevelt de clared, "we must either shut our eyes, build an impregnable wall of arma ment, ajid live a hermit nation, or m must open our eyes and see that mod ern civilization has become so complex as to make It impossible to be in thia world and not of it." Moo Work. Less Talk. Asfor-hme problems, he said, "we have been awakened by this war Into a startling realization of the shortcom ings of our governmental machinery and of the need for the kind of reor ganization which only a clear thinking business man. experienced in the tech nicalities of governmental procedure, can carry out. We need to do things, not ta talk about them." He appealed for "fairness and 'gen erosity ln the campaign," declaring that inasmuch as partisanship was buried during the war It should not now be revived in ancient uitterness. The nominee asserted that the na tion knows that the war has been only half won until to the cry of tho French at Verdun. "Tbey shall not pass." and of the Americans in the Ar gonne, "We shall go thru." are added the words, "It shall not occur again." To this end, he said, the Democrats offer a peace treaty, "which to make it a real treaty for a real peace must include the League of Nations." Leairuo Cannot Irto. He urged that the American people be d-alt with "without vagueness, double dealing or equivocation, on the league issue, and added: The league will not die. An idea does not die which meets the call of the hearts of our mothers." Peace, he said, can't be declared by congress, as war is. He predicted that soon tho United States will take its seat in th league. Turning to domestic questions, to which he devoted much of his speech.' Roosevelt outlined as vital needs the following: "Bettering of citizenship thru elimi nation of illiteracy, and strengthening of immigration laws; improvement of working condition, especially in con gested centers; protection of child lifo and women in industry; extension of communications to make rural life more attractive: development of na tional resources; reform of govern ment by elimination of archaic met h od in congress and the administra tive, branches of the government; bet ter pay' for government employes, with, a higher standard of efficiency."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1920 BE BITTER BATTLE Democratic Primary in Arkan sas Hotly Contested. 'lne Candidates Out for Gov ernorship Nomination. Little Rock. Ark.. Aug. 9. The Democratic primary to be held In Ar kansas tomorrow -promises to be one of the most interesting; and hard tought elections in the history f the state. There is a bitter caontest for the United States senatorhip, there are nine candidates for governor, there are contests for representative in four of the seven congressional districts, nearly all of the state offices are be j ins "fought for and in every county there are further contests for local of fices. Only democrats will be voted for in this primary and in this state the Democratic nomination is virtu ally equivalent to election. The struggle for the nomination for United States senator between Sen. William K. Kirby and Congressman T. H. Caraway has developed into one of the most acrimonious affairs in the history cf Arkansas politics. Each of the candidates has been unsparing in his criticism of the other's offi cial record. Senator Kirby is Ming out the term for which the Tate Sen. James P. Clark orginally was nominated. Senator Clark defeated Mr. Kirby Tn the state prin.ary six years ago but died before the general election was held.. His death occurred so shortly before the date of the general elec-' tion that there was not time to hold another primary and so the Demo cratic state central committee nomi nated Mr. Kirby as the party candi date. The Democratic nominee for gov ernor, whoever he is. will have three opponents in the genfj-al election next November. These already have been nominated. Wallace Townsend. of Uttle Rock, is the regular Republi can nominee. J. H. Blount, a negro educator, of Helena, will appear on the ballot as the negro Republican nominee and the Socialists have nomi nated Sam W. Buesler. of Springdale. There are nine aspirants for the governorship to succeed Charles Hill man Brough who retiring from public life after two terms as gover nor. They are as follows: ex-Congressman J. C. Floyd, of Yeilville- ei. Congressman T. C. cRae, cf Pres cott; Circuit Judge George It. Hay nie. of Preseott: John I I sentative in tht state legislature. Hot oiiiis, omea.j i-oweil.

METilpJEtlifSY ittle Hopes for Bic Watermelon Crop, Say Salina Farmers. Salina. Kan.. Aujr. 9. The water melon crop at Sand Springs probably will be a total failure this season on account of the ravages of melon lice, reports from that section indicate. While there are but a few small melons on the vines, the bugs are sucking the life out of the vines and the melons drying up. Continued warm weather will kill the lice, but t will also keep the melons from matur ing, and the growers see little hope for a good crop, y One melon grower estimated yester day that with favorable weather in the next two weeks, he would have about one-third of a crop.

They say the advance in the price of gasoline was less than was expected, or at least hoped for. The refiner is asking 23c for the cheapest straight-run, and this makes the cost to the jobber 25c in Chi cago. To this must be added 3c for the cost of doing business. As a result the new price is still too low for a profit on gasoline." The Standard Oil Company (Indi ana) distributes through tank wagons and service stations, com pleting the cycle of service from refiner to consumer. The present low price for gasoline in the Middle West is due in large measure to the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in refining and ctistributing its products. The Standard Oil Company (Indi ana) maintains an elaborate re search department, which has en abled it to increase the amount of high grade gasoline obtainable from crude oil. The efficiency of the manufactur ing department, plus the all but perfect system of distribution, en ables the company to render an unique but necessary service to everyone in the Middle West who, either- directly or indirectly, relies upon automotive machinery for power. The Standard Oil Company (Indi ana) has maintained, and will con tinue to maintain, the lowest possi ble price for petroleum products consistent with proper security to its stockholders.

TION litUEAU. Frederic 1. Ilaskin, Director, Washing ton. I. C. Governor Cox's declaration that, "We need a definite and precise state ment of policy as to what business men ana working men may do and may not do by way of combination and collec tive action," is timely. Until recently, collective action has been largely one sided. Labor has acted collectively, while the employer of labor has acted individually and alone. This, situa tion now appears to be undergoing a change. Kmployers are organizing and preparing to pi- up a united front. One of the first results of their action may be the open shop. That is an end which they have in view. It is ""time that the public's rights be clearly defined as well as those of workers and employer?. Another crisis has developed in Eu rope. Unless means can be found to stop the onward march of the victor ious Bolsheviki, European civilization may be swept away. Of course a way to stop it will be found, but it has gained such headway that the process may cost heavily in blood and money. The danger is lessened by the fact that the Russian does not fight so well abroad as he does at home. He will make any sacrifice in defense of v Ills own fireside. Japan never could have whipped Itussia on Russian territory. While every nation of Europe appre ciates the gravity of the red menace, England, France and Germany are most directly and most vitally con cerned. On England and France, therefore, rests the real burden of sav ing Poland from the domination of the reds, thereby to preserve the safety of other European nations and the peace that was sought to be iestab lished with the termination of the war with Germany. And the great prob lem is Jhow to accomplish this object without another big military operation which once started, mighjt culminate in a struggle almost as expensive and prolonged as the Great War itself. Five hundred troops have been sent from Camp Funston to Denver to pre serve peace and order in that city. The loss of life incident to the strike in the Colorado capital Is deplorable. But if citizens must be shot down in the streets, perhaps it is as well to turn the Job over to men whose busi ness it is to kill. At least, the soldiers will not shoot without a show of jus tification. It is notable in this connec tion that the strikers sued for peace as soon as they heard that the troops were coming, altho they must have known that they would not be inter fered with so long as they refrained from violence. The farm laborer, who has drifted into the city ds,awn by the lure of high wages and bright lights, may find, if ever he should wish to return to the farm, that his job is gone. The farm er sis managing to replace him with machines which the farm hand him self has been helping to make in the big cities. Never yet has there been a problem that the American peopte could not solve if given sufficient time. The farm labor problem is being solved. One big rubber company reports.net sales for.the six months from January 1 to June 30. 1920. of $129,588.93. an increase of J30.099.615 over the cor responding period of 1919; and the net income, after deducting all interest charges and after allowing for depre ciation and federal taxes, was $13,690, 924s an increase of $3,059,490 over the corresponding period of 1919. Prob ably the greater portion of this huge sum came from the manufacture and sale of automobile tires, users of which pay not only the profit but the federal tax as well. The new world war which is devel oping in Europe probably will be fought on land and in-the air. It seems improbable that submarines and destroyers will enter into the conflict to any considerable extenj. THK DENVER STRIKE. The street railway strike situation in Denver indicates that the strikers stand to be denied their demands, to lose the recognition of theirunion and many of them to lose their jobs. The same sort of thing has been taking place all over the country for several months but there still' are .workers who seem unable to see the trend of the times. It is unfortunate for the cause of labor that this is true. The vAmerican Federation of Labor has gained its commanding place m the industrial field because Qi its rep utation as conservative and an up holder of contracts. It was permitted to grow without serious opposition. Employers preferred to deal with or- I ganized labor for. they felt that they had something binding. The well dis ciplined union relieved the employer of a whole lot of responsibility. The latter could go ahead and make con tracts in his business in the knowledge that the labor question was a settled factor for a given time. A member of the union was accepted as fit to do a fair day's work or he would not be a member of the" union. This viewpoint has been changed materially. Many of the labor unions can not be trusted to stand by their agreements. Outlaw strikers have been too common. The men, taking advantage of the supply and demand market, have placed not only their immediate employers but the whole country in a dangerous position. The innocent citizen has been arousing himself. He did not object to higher wages in the face of mounting prices, but the manner in whiph the spiral has been mounting has made him sit up and take notice. The incessant demands of labor unions must have a stopping point some time. Railroad strikes, coal strikes, steel strikes, textile strikes have brought upon the plain public a "realization of the danger of collective strikes, if nqf of collective bargaining. Most of the strikes nowadays are na tional in scope and effect and no Ipng er local; and the one is interrelated to the other, as for instance the transpor tation tieup to the coal and steel in dustries. The United States Chamber of Com merce, that has gone on record against the closed shop, is built on the order of the American Federation of Labor, and It draws its sustenance and sup port from affiliated chambers of com merce thruout the country another reminder that centralization is the or der of the hour. Its affiliated mem bership mounts to the thousands and in turn represents employers giving employment into the million. The argument used by the latter body is that labor has become irre sponsible and dictatorial, and to per mit a closed shop would be to place a halter around the neck of the nation. Mr. Wilson in a message to the strik ing miners recently warned them that tlieir conduct if persisted in may lead to the disruption of the United Mine Workers of America, the largest single labor organization" in the country, if not in the whole world. Conservative labor leaders are com ing to recognize the danger that is fac ing, them from within and without. Revolt in the ranks of labor has been facing them;' revolt from employer backed by public opinion is at their back. They know that organized la bor generically speaking is in greater danger today than it has been since it became an acknowledged factor in in dustrialism, v GOVERNOR COX'S SPEECH. Governor Cox at Dayton, O., Satur day not only accepted bis party's nom ination for the presidency,' but tie also accepted Senator Harding's challenge to go to the country on the issue of the League of Nations.'. Not only did he do this but he cut loose from Presi dent Wilson and advocated ratifica tion of the Versailles treaty with res ervations. Senator Harding In his speech of acceptance already has de clared for peace by congressional ac tion and against the treaty in any form. There is the issue. Those who feel an interest in the matter can take their choice. Governor Cox takes occasion to call attention to the fact "that no treaty can 'override our constitution, which reserves to congress alone the power to declare war," and takes the ground that reservations will "at least be re assuring to many of our citizens." The gQvernor makes the customary promises of candidates for office, to reduce taxes. But he goes farther and specifies how it shall be done. First of all he would repeal the war levies and substitute therefor -a-tax on the busines of every going concern. It must bevapparent to the voter that the president has little power over I taxes other than that of the veto. which seldom Is used on an appropri ation bill. He can, however, bring about a large saving in government ex penditure. But the appropriations are in the hands of congress. The governor's utterance-regarding the industrial problem is decidedly noncommittal and therefore is unlike ly to meet with objections Irom any quarter. On this subject he says: The writ of injunction should not be abused. We need a definite and pre cise statement of policy as to what business men and workingmen may do and may not do by way of combma tion and collective action. Neither la- bor nor capital should at any time take action that would put in jeopardy the public welfare. There is nothing in this attitude cal culated to make or lose him a single vote. s j Both candidates now have spoken and a dull and spiritless campaign may be expected. There Is little in the I platforms or the speeches to make it otherwise. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. IIASKI.V. Director Washington, D. C THE STIMULATIXti SMELL. Chicago, 111., Aue. 6. When you climb onto one of the tall stools before a soda fountain, enclose the top of a bottle of strawberry pop with your lips and drink long and gurglingly, you may think that many patient little strawberries grew up just to give you such a treat, but you are mistaken. Never a strawberry went into the mak ing of your refreshing draught. Prac tically all you are getting is some col ored soda water and a smell. This is a disheartening thought in a world where life seems to be just one long shattering of illusions, so we hasten to add that altho your pop has no relation tc the succulent strawberry it" is nevertheless a quite pure and harmless drink, quite worthy to quench the carefully guarded American thirst. In fact it is much purer than if it were flavored with real strawberries, which is why It isn't, if you follow us. Now that prohibition 'has made soft drinks so interesting to all of us, and so profitable to some of us, a scien tific treatise upon thesubject will not be out of place. Your perhaps did ndt realize1, that your soda consisted of more han carbonated water and flavoring, bui it does. Science, psy chology and even art go into the making of this refreshing beverage, and the most important of these is psychology. Mr. D. W. Hutchlnt-on, a manufac turer of soda water flavors and bot tling supplies, is an authority upon the subject, as he practically grew up in the soda pop business a heavenly boyhood if. boys' tastes in those days were the same as they are now. It is no wonder that he repays this ef fervescent and stimulating element of his youth with a lifelong interest. Mr. Hutchinson's father, William H. f Hutchinson, was one of the first bot tlers of soft drinks in this country. Way back in 1849 heTstarted a small beer business here, (the "small" modi fies the beer and not the business, small beer being another name for root beer, birch beer, and so forth). He made his beverages of sugar, herbs, yeast, and other things and put them iri stone bottles,, These were the "soft drinks" of our forefathers, and according to Mr. Hutchinson they were cloudy and unpleasing to look upon, altho good to drink, and in nocuous enough to suit a certain Ne braskan. When the machinery for bottling came into being, he drifted into.tho soda water business, and his enter prise grew up with the great Ameri-can-thirst. But the way of the early bottler was not all easy, in spite of the great demand for his wares. lis chief difficulty was in making t.;s soda water clear and sparkling so that it would attract the cautious buyer who is ever on the lookout i for signs of impurity. This is where the sci ence, psychology and art. aforemen tioned, enter into the story. The bottlers soon discovered that it was impossible to flavor their drinks with flavors made from natural fruits. The flavors made from fruit contain pectin, albumen and other substances which tend to separate and make lit tle stringy particles in the socla water after it has been bottled for a few days. This gives the drink a cloudy, unpleasant look. and arouses the sus picions ofif the cautious drinker who of course "thinks that the particles are deadly germs. Then, too, fruits such as the apple, strawberry, cherry and peach do no lend themselves to use in bottled goods. Their flavor is too delicate to be concentrated in soluble form with the intensity necessary. Of course where there is an essential oil in the fruit, as in the case .of the lemon, orange or lime, this oil is used. Otherwise the fruit flavors of soda water have not quite the close rela tion to Mother Nature, the rains and winds of heaven "and the sunkissed cheeks of apples and cherries, that the ecstatic ad writer has led tis to be lieve they have. But when the bottlers realized that pure fruit flavors could not be made satisfactorily, nothing daunted they decided to make imitation flavors that would be satisfactory. Mr. 'Hutchin son, and others like him, knowing that the sense of smell is so closely related to the sense of taste that they are nearly one. concentrated upon the odors of the flavors. They analyzed the real fruits, duplicated their chem ical parts as nearly as possible, and made extracts to stimulate them in taste and smell especially in smell. Thus it is that when you open your bottle of strawberry pop your nostrils are assailed by the refreshing odor of ripe fruit, you drink off the pleas antly tingling fluid, and go away much refreshed, thinking you have just imbibed some soda water flavored with strawberry juice. What you have had was a cjeverly Imitated strawberry smell and a drink of sweetened soda water. Of course there is some taste of the fruit, too, but not much. A Test for the Taste. Try this test some time and you will realize how little. Wait until you have such a severe cold that you can't smell at all (and we politely hope that you will have to wait a long time), then blindfold yourself and have someone give you a bottle of pop and see if you can guess the flavor from the taste. You will have an unusually, keen sense of taste if you can, accord ing to Mr. Hutchinson. He declines, however, to put all the blame for this form of deception upon the bottlers. Nature herself goes in for a little of the same KUad of fooling. You could try, the same blindfold test with an apple, a jslece of row potato, and have a hard time telling which was which. Furthermore, altho you are getting an artificially colored and flavored drink, you are getting an absolutely pure one. Onlv the purest water, the best sugar aad flavoring, put up in f bottles that are chemically clean will give i nai cir. Spi irnB which, most soda pop has. One sure impurities in- the beverage is to refuse to drink any soda water which has at cloudy appearance In the bottle. This rule applies only to bottled soda as that which is served at fountains with fresh crushed fruits and ice cream is necessarily clouded. The Color Moans"Xotliing. The coloring matter in soda pop has nothing to do with its flavor. It island then cookf slowly for three min just put in to" make it look pretty and j to appeal to your artistic sense at the same time that your -other senses are 1 oeing narmiessiy Damnooziea. it is made of burnt sugar in the case of amber and brown drinks such as gin ger ale and root beer, and otherwise of coal tar dyes which have been certi fied as harmless by the government. We have paved the most interesting fact about this artificial flavoring until the last: It is made with alcohol. J nere is lots and lots or this almost obsolete and altogether wicked drug in a gallon of flavoring extract. But as once ounce of flavoring extract flavors one gallon of flavoring syrup, and as one gallon cf flavoring syrup which Is made of sugar and water besides the precious ounce of flavoring and coloring aaatter, is used to flavor 7 or 8 gal'ns of soda water, the man with an eldtime thirst will find It im possible to drink enough pop to get the effect of one cocktail.

Her "I told you so," and "There'll be a wedding pretty soon," "fussed" me a little, altho I tried not to. let her see it. He looked very neat, but I thought, as I looked at his well brushed but shiny clothes, that hmust be poorer than I thought. They were the same clothes he wore every day. I had "dressed up," as Mary said. And altho my dress was the simplest afternoon frock I had, 1 felt someway sorry I had not also worn the tailor suit that I wore to work. "Youa,look charming," Harold said, flushing a bit as he complimented me. "You don't mind jny saying so?" "Not in the least. I rather enjoy a compliment, to tell the truth. A wo man's failing, .you know!" We walked out to a small park? then sat down and rested a while and watched the motor cars driving by with their gay loads.

Without thinking I had been about to speak of my-little car that Dad had given me after. I had been graduated. "You have had things I saw that right away," he returned quietly, then changed the subject. He was really most kind, and tactful. After a time we resumed our walk. Suddenly I saw the two fellows, like and Joe, coming toward us. I felt myself flush. Would they have the impudence to speak to me, and if they did, what would Harold Moore think of me? They came swaggering towards us, dressed loudly, swinging their sticks, hats on one side. "How do you do!" It was said si multaneously. Then the one named Mike added, "Out for a walk, I see. Your fellow is In luck. Introduce us." They had stopped directly before us, so blocking the sidewalk. Harold Moore had not spoken, but he now quietly laid his hand on my arm. The simple action gave me courage, and I said: "Mr. Moore will have no Interest In knowing you. Please let us pass." "How-de-do, Moore!" Mike ignored me. "The lady is an old friend of mine. Of Joe's too. We was think in' of callin' this evening on her and her pal." I fairly gasped, then without reply ing, started to pass them, almost drag ging Harld with me. "Good-bye see you soon!" floated after us in the fellow's coarse, sneer ing voice. "Oh. I hope you don't think they are friends of mine!" I exclaimed, my face' crimson with mortification, t "They don't seem, your sort."-. "They are not! I took my Tneals at a cafeteria, near where I live. They saw Mary and me there and spoke to us. We refused to know them, and they have followed us, or rather spoken to us when they met us in the street. We have done all we could to discourage them, but it seems they aren't the kind who mind rebuffs." "I should say not! If they annoy you again let me know,, will you? Thero are ways of dealing with such ruffians." "Oh, I wouldn't have you get into trouble on my account for anything! You might get hurt." To be honest, 'I was just a bit thrilled at the idea of this quiet, unassuming fellow becom ing my champion, fighting for me if need be. And also, to be honest, I was disappointed when he said: "I don't mean to fight them, so don't worry. I would have them arrested for annoying you." Women ARE hard to please!

I marjorie sat somewnat uisconsoiaieiy I on a. ptivitiiis vu4, Hwauiug me arrival of the movuig man. She was discon solate, first, because after three years in their pleasant apartment she and her brother Jim, were obliged to move because of soaring rents. They had founds a modest "walk-up" facing a small park, in an unfashionable part of town. Of course, they would get used to it, but Marjorie was one wno clug tenaciously tu old surroundings,' anu readjustment was painful. Tney had had good times in tne itUe apart ment she arsu Jim, xresh from the small western town. The moving from the apartment marked a rrew era, but even more did the facrthat on Tom's horizon, loomed a woman. If he was as serious as he appeared to be, Marjorie would have to puok'for a separate place tu bestow her household goods. Her melancholy reverie was inter rupted by a sharp jytal at the uour beiif the moving men. Wasting no time, they seized upon the large pieces ot furniture and wexe soon carrying them dexterously downstairs. Marjorie had only noticed them as a group, calculating anxiously the ize,all done on tfee outside of the store or 1 of the lip required lor the quartet, tine was, therefore, somewhat startled to sue one of them gazing intently at 'a picture standing lace upward against the wall. "Excuse -me, miss," he said, "but, you know, that's rather out of the ordinary, that view of the Acropolis one usually sees Marjorie s eyebrows went up un consciously. "You are. wondering," he said,v answering her questioning look, "what i knww about pictures, but Here he was interrupted by a voice fnom behind. A:re, you, Johnny; look alive. Ve are here tor work." With no further comment, the oife called Johnny picked up a large arm- Nchair and proceeded down stairs. From then on he did not hesitate ur stop, and Marjorie, absorbed in directing the removal of her house' hold goods, forgot the incident of the picture. A few weeks later one Sunday after noon Marjorie sat in the park outside rfter new houie. After all, the new rooms were attractive, overlooking the park, with its ever-changing scenes of numan interest. Then Jim seemed less interested in his love affair. Alto gether, life was looking "quite gay. Raising her-eyes from her book, she was conscious of a young man, shab bily dressed, loking at her iom the opposite-bench. x "Pardon me," fie said, moving over to 'her side of the walk. "Of course, yos, don't know me, but I am one of the men who moved you dowtt irom Kitty-fourth street. Somehow, I don't think you look too proud to speak to me." "I am glad you spoke," she said. "What you said about my brother's picture of the Acropolis interested me. We were interrupted and I never learned "You never learned why a moving man was interested in pictures," 'tie interrupted. "You see, the thing is my brother, took that picture. And, you know, one usually sees just the front view of the .building; this is so entirely different, and, knowing that there are only two copies in existence, I just wondered how you had, come by it." "Billy Joudrey left It to my brother. He was killed at the front. Perhaps your brother told you," Marjorie an swered. "1 11 admit," he said, "being a mov ing man Isn't exactly what you would expect of the brother of a chap who does such highbrow things as heading excavation parties to Greece. Moving pavs mighty well, and especially the tip's." If Marjorie had caught his eye then she would have seen an amused expression flit over his face. This was the first of many Sunday meetings between Marjorie and her "park beau." as Jim called him. The four of them, Jim and the girl of his heart, Marjorie and John, frequently had supper together In the little apart ment. John remained a mystery, as there seemed no connecting link but Billy Joudrey. Jim could not remem ber who Billy had said hat given him the picture of the Acropolis. So John came and went giving no hint as to his identity. In the fall Marjorio went back to her studies. She was working hard, and while she and Jim commented on the absence of John, who suddenly disappeared from view, absorption in their work made Marjorie almost for get what now seemed almost like a summer dream. Jim. who was an electrical engineer, found himself more and more taken up with his work. His love affair was at a stand still, as Eleanor Johnson had gone south with an invalid mother. "We are' getting pretty dull," he said one morning, as they hastily ate their breakfast. "I'll try for tickets for the opera if you say so." "Oh. yes do. We will dress up for a change," said Marjorie. A little later, hurrying up the. sub way steps her arms full of books, she saw a laminar pair oi Bnuuiuns n, front. "What on earth is John doing up here?" she wondered. "HelLi. John." she said Ss he 'Are-a-ou off the caught up with him. moving job ,i ,l --.nlain. it's too long a story- now. when we are at dinner time, and una out wnere X?"P LrrV-Ufh. urTi toT rtirrVit." and he was off. Marjorie in her black evening dress. her glorious 'auburn hair coiled be comingly about her head, and her beautiful white neck with its sinele; string of family pearls, made a strlk- j ing picture. x. "Clothes do chanfte one's whole: point of view." she remarked to Jim. "Why don't we do this sort of thing oftener?" Jim, going off to smoke between the acts, met John on his way to Mar- j jorie. "Hello, old chap," -hex ex- j claimed, "we almost need an introduc- tion. i Jim's vacant seat. John said I Takin "I 'suppose you are wondering wno-, and what I am. I will give you 'Whose Who.'
