MEETING TfflS
MONTH TO PLAN

Breat Lake to Sea Movement
|f Boosters Gather in De
troit July 22.
TACKLE EVERY ANGLE
DETROIT, July B.—Ever since the day,
bow tome generations ago, when the
country realized that Its advancement
wa measured by Its transportation
facilities, men have dreamed of a gate
way from the inland states to the sea.
The question is as old almost as the
search for the historical “northwest pas
sage.**
Today, after years of discussion end
study, it has become a national issue to
determine whether the waterways which
lose themselves in the Atlantic shall be
come connected for navigation purposes
and form an outlet for the products and
materials produced by the states west of
the Allegheny mountains.
Practical men and theorists have
studied and figured end the last of the
evidence is being complied, preparatory
to final action.
Action is to be forthcoming as the
result of the Great Lakes-Bt. Lawrence
congress, to be held at D
*tralt, July 22-24, when all the authori
ties and supporters and students of the
Great Lakes-to-the-sea movement will as
semble.
Out of the sessions, which will con
sider every angle of this enterprise,
there will come a policy workable and
reasonable, to put this project through.
The congress will hold its sessions in
the auditorium of the Detroit board of
commerce, which organization is acting
as host for the delegates and visitors.
Among the speakers scheduled to dis
cuss this project sre:

MAJESTIC BUILDING
PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By DAVID CORY. r
You remember In the la6t story how
Puss left the csstle of the old miser
with two bags of gold under his arm,
and how he bought with one of them a
castle for the rats and mice to live in
for the rest of their lives.
Weil, after that he went upon his
way with the remaining bag of gold
under bis arm. and by and by he came
to a poor woodcutter’s hut in the middle
of the forest. And when he knocked at
the door it was opened by the wood
cutter’s wife, who was crying bitterly,
.—■—^
|
“Six little mice were sitting down
to sew.’
for her good man was ill and she bad
no money to pay for a doctor.
So generous little Puss Junior, opened
his bag of gold and gave her half, and
the rest he put In his pockets; and
then he said good-bye and went upon his
And by and by he came across Little
Red Riding Hood. And oh, dear me!
Wasn’t she frightened? For a wicked
wolf had scared her poor old grandma
nearly to death and had run off with
her big, fat goose.
“And now we’ll have no Christmas
dinner,’’ sobbed Little Red Riding
Hood, and this made Puss feel so badly
The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MART MARSHALL, S. DUFF**.
PON’ CARE WHAT THEY HINK.
It was said not long ago that the rea
son so many housewives grew nervous
and depressed ove rthe present high cost
of living was bedanse they worried about
what their neighbors might think of
them.
When they found their bills for the
old-fashioned standbys were higher than
they could afford to pay their first
thought was: .
‘How awful to be in debt: yet I can’t
set the table for less, for all my elgh
bors would think me stingy."
Now the whole point in this: Don’t
care what your neighbors think about
the economies you practice.
Practice them rather than go in debt.
Do anything to keep from worrying
too much about the present condition of
high prices.
If you can economize on the table
without Injuring the health of your fam
ily do it.
It is really far better bred to econo
mize and keep out of debt than to go into
debt in order to keep your neighbor's
opinion of you.
And what Is more, the neighbor who
idly criticizes her friends and neighbors
who have different standards of living
than she Is not a neighbor whose opin
ion is quite worth wprrying about.—

that he gave her five gold pieces. Wasn’t
that generous hi him? And If he keeps
on he’ll have to find another fortune,
for he won’t have a penny loft, will that
dear little generous pussy cat?
“Hetgh-ho!” said Puss to himself.
“I wonder what will happen next.”
And then, all of a sudden, an old owl
commenced to hoot; so Puss stopped and
asked him what tlms It was, for it was
growing dark, and he began to wonder
where he was to sleep.
I forgot to wind my wßtch last night.
And I didn’t wake up this morning
In time to ask a robin, you see.
For I was sleepy and yawning.
“Oh, dear!” said Puss, “what shall
I do?”
“Don’t worry,” said the kind old owl.
••"You can sleep In my nest. There is
room for us all!”
So Puss took off his boots and climbed
up the tree, and he nearly dropped one
of his boots, for It wasn’t easy to hold
them between his teeth.
Well, when he got inside of Mr. Owl's
house he found it a very nice sort of a
place, for Mrs. Owl kept it neat and
clean. And when the next morning
came Puss gave them a gold piece and
climbed down the tree and set off once
more upon his Journey of adventure.
And by and by he came to a little house,
so he peeked through the open lndow.
“What are you doing, my little men?”
asked Puss Junior.
“Making coats for gentlemen,” replied
six little mice, who were seated around
a table busily sewing. v
“Shall I come in and bite off your
threads?" asked Puss with a grin.
“No! No! You might bite off our
heads.”
And before he could say a word they
scampered away. Wasn’t that too bad?
For Puss never would have harmed
them, and, besides, wonder what the
gentlemen will say when they don’t get
their coats on time. Perhaps they will
give these six little tailor mice a dread
ful seolding.—Copyright. 1920.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Married Life
By ANN LISLE.
CHAPTER LXXXIII.
"Drat this Job! Why does it have to
begin in the middle of the night?"
growled Jim as he made ready to hurry
off to work.
"A fellow ought to be Johnny-on-the
spot the first morning after his sisters
arrive! I don’t suppose the girls are
awake yet, but I hate to start out for
the day without even saying good-morn
ing to Virginia. You’ll be sure and call
her up by ten, won’t you, Anne?”
But Virginia and Phoebe had left the
Rochambeau when I phoned at Just ten,
and they hadn’t said when they would
be back again. So I left no message.
I stayed in all day waiting for some
word from them, but none came. At six
the phone rang for the first time In a
tike finding tke cftsvrt to

"Oh, Jim, dear, I phoned at tea and

Phoebe had gone out, leaving no mes
sage, so I didn’t leave word either—l

her now to look at two apartments she
has seen. She can’t quite decide which
to take, and as I’m not free during the

“Oh, Jim, won’t you be home to sup

“How can I, Anne? Now, don't be un
reasonable, dear. You’ll not be alone;
Neal will be there, won’t he? So I’ll have
dinner with Virginia and Phoebe and
then run out with them to see the apart
ment. That’s the only thing to do, isn't
it?” V
“I suppose so,” I agreed, but as I
spoke and while Jim was saying good
bye I wondered would he have asked
me to join him and his sisters even if
Neal hadn't been here?
I turned away with a feeling of numb
ness. And it wasn’t until I heard a wild
buzzing a few mlnutee later that I
realized I had forgotten to hang up tho
receiver. I hurried to the phone, but got
the tantalizing old reply:
“There’s no one on the lipe now. If
they ring again I’ll call you.”
Carefully I put the receiver in its
place this time and turned away, tell-

Then I went to get “supper." Supper,
indeed, since cold meat and salad, cake
and apple sauce and tea and biscuits

of those “two” was only Neal. “Only
