Calling For Proof
Par reaching indeed will be the effect of the senate
resolution calling upon the treasury department tar
the business statements of large concerns leeking
tariff increases. Heretofore increases have been
granted at the mere request of those seeking the favor.
Nothing but the word of the manufacturer that The
Increase was needed was submitted in support if the
plea for aid. Nov/ the need must be proved by r i ate
raent of fact. The mere assertion of the manufac
turer that a higher rate is necessary will no longer
suffice; he must support his plea with the Tame char
acter of proof that railway companies are required to
submit when asking for an increase in freight rates.
So simple and so just Is this senate demand for in
formation that the wonder is that it was not asked for
long ago. The country knows very* that tari‘f
favors have been bestowed upon interests that nerc* d
no additional protection at all. The country has sus- j
pected that most tariff increases represented r. meas- ,
ure of favoritism. Let & business be rufficiently arge ,
and wealthy, and It has gotten what it asked for j
merely the asking. Now it is asked to appear !n the ,
open and prove that a real need actually exists.
The adoption of this senate policy Is certain to
lend powerful support to the Hoover position on the
matter of tariff revision. By campaign utterance end
official intimation the president stands committed to I
a policy of limited revision. But once the ruesiion .
was open all the beneficiaries of protection were hi- j
mediately on the scene demanding still larger tariff
favors. 8ome of the most prosperous businesses in
America were heard to ray that without r -reater • e-,
gree of protection they cannot survive at all. So loud (
has been the clamor for higher schedules that the ,
Hoover Ideal of limited revision has been submerged
entirely. Now that the calamorous must prove their
case there is a stronr probability that limited revision
will return to the fore ?galn.
No Adviser Yet
Not yet has lir. Hoover s self created successor to j
Cel. House and Jess Smith and Frank Stearns ap
peared on the White House scene, and a fair-sized
number of Americans will not regret it over much If
no such character ever appears. While none will deny
that President Wilson received wise counsel from his
chief adviser, and President Cool idle profited from
the help of his closest personal friend, the country
■will feel considerably better Just as long as it feels
that the man it has chosen president is capable of
doing without the proffered help of a favorite.
Ordinarily the executive can get from his cabinet
ministers about all the advice he needs. Perhaps
there are times when he needs the counsel of some
cne who is entirely free from departmental bias and
narrowness. But there is something rather stimulat- :
Jng in the opinion that the presid nt can manage to
get along wihtout the constant help of some non-of
ficial adviser. Anyway, a number of people arc *atis
fied with the present arrangement and care not at
nil if Mr. Hoover never fills the place once occupied
by the man "closest to the president."
Pajamas will not be popular as a street costume for
men until provided with pockets for a watch, knife, j
key-ring, fountain pen. pencil, billfold, the 12-ride |

CHAPTER 47
She sat with her eyes cast down,
thinking, thinking.
What could she say?
She couldn't nek? epsn love tc
the mm; tell him she was sick at !
heart for him, that if he didn't
come back to her she d—she'd-she
didn't know what would happen.
But she had to say something. An
opportunity like this might not
come again! The bank was closed,
and yet Dave macd no move to go.
* But Dave." she ventured at last. I
“Don’t ycu see? I want you to be
have in me again! I'm trying— |
trying so hard to be—to be what
you—what everyone wants me to
be!"
David gulped, got up, and walked
up and down the room.
Chatty's heart leaped. He. too.
was stirred, then! He wasn't going
to be just impersonal and cold!
"I’d like to believe in you," he
said at last, reseating himself. "It
hurt—what you did. ’
"You mean—about Agnes?"
Chatty’s face flamed.
David nodded. “That—and other
things. But you can't force belief.
You can't say ’I believe' and make
yourself do it. No one can. You
believe or you don't believe—you
love or you don’t love—not accord
ing to w-hat you want, but because
you must. Don't you know that?"
Chatty did know it. She could no
more help loving and wanting Dave
than she could help breathing. Was
belief, then, really like that? Some
thing that you couldn't get by ask
ing for it?
"Tell me some more about your
self,” suggested Dave. "What do
you do with yourself evenings? How
do you pass your time? Are you
happy?”
Chatty relaxed. This was like old
times—a real, friendly chat with
Dave! He wanted her to talk to
him. He had said she was “enor
mously attractive!" He had walked
the floor. He wanted to believe in
her! Surely, with so much in her
favor, she would win him the rest
of the way.
How to do it? How to make her
self appear attractive, good, sweet
in his eyes?
Chatty's thoughts were like light
ning flashes, so fast and furiously
did they come. David dldr. t like
wild parties. He didn’t drink. He
liked bridge and Billie and Gecrge
and quiet amusements. Better not
tell him about Bryant and Winnie
and Jim. then—
“Oh, I spend a lot of time with
Billie. When she’s not too busy
with George, that is.” she amend
ed, hurriedly. "And I stay home a
lot, too. Pud—Pud rather needs
me. He—he has been trying very
hard to get a sewing machine lor
mother. And I’m helping him—’*
Chatty tried not to blush. She
hadn't helped him at all. But she
was geing to! “I’ll give him some
money tonight, so that won't be a
fib!" though Chatty.
“And—and w-ho takes you riding
now. on picnics and—and rides?”
David repeated himself lamely.
Chatty trembled with delight* in
side. He remembered! He was
jealous!
“No one takes me riding!" she as
serted. "I—I don't care to go rid
ing with anyone, since—since—“
Chatty stopped.
But what was this? David, with
a cold stern look on his face; David,
as chilly in manner as if she was a
stranger—
“You will excuse me now, Miss
ChaUerton!” he said, icily. “I am
very busy!"
“Why, Dave! Why—what did I
say? What have I done? What—”
David stopped in front of her.
, and his eyes blaed into hers with a
passion that frightened her. Gone
the coldness, gone the reserve, gone j
the impersonality that had chilled
her; this was the David she had
known, the David she loved, and yet
a David strange and terrible—
"You lied!* he accused. "Three
times within a month have I seen
you with Bryant Dunning in his
car. Twice with his arms around
you. and as late a3 last night! I
passed you on the road!"
Chatty remembered the car with
the bright lights, for which they
had to wait to start petting.
‘1 have heard of the parties at
Winnie's and the expeditions to
Lollypcp Inn.’’ David stormed on.
"You cant talk of others. Miss
Chat ter ton. and not be talked
about! But I don't listen to gossip;
I mereyl believe my eyes, not my
ears!”
Chatty's face flamed, hot. moist,
in ierrible shame.
"Believe in you? Believe in you?"
David laughed, a nasty laugh, a
laugh all scorn and contempt. **I
did believe in you—I believed in you
as a man believes in a holy t.iing
in life! And you were not what I
thought! You were a liar and a
cheat, a thief and a trouble maker,
a gossip and a slanderer! You tore
my heart in two. and now' you come
here with a pack of falsehoods and
want to do it again! Well, you
can t! I don't believe in you. I
never will believe in you! I hope
I never, never see your pretty face,
with its false eyes and its snake's
tongue, again!”
And David flung out of the office
and disappeared, leaving Chatty to
pick up her shattered dream and
creep from the office and the bank
as best she could.
• • •
Chatty did not go back to the
office that afternoon. She went
. .ome. to lock herself in her room
and cry—cry as if her heart would
break.
It w as really all over.
He hated her. And the worst of
it was. she had brought it on her
self by lying to him. His questions
had been a test. And she had not
measured up. I* wasn't fair to test
a girl like that! What harm was
there in riding with Bryant Dun
ning and letting him kiss her?
Probably he had that girl with him
when he passed them, parked.
Doubtless he kissed and hugged her. i
the nasty cat! Had she asked him
a single question? Not one!
The more Chatty thought of it.
the angrier she got. She didn't
know that the modern psychologist
has discovered that the angrier we
get at people, the more we show,
often times, how wrong we are our
selves; that we get angry with oth
ers to restore our waning respect
for ourselves.
Chatty was all wrong
To pretend to herself that David
was wrong and she right, was the
only way in which she could sup
port her own thoughts of herself.
“Well, If that's the way you feel
about it, Mr. David Jordan, you can
just go plumb to!” declared Chatty,
passionately. “If I'm going to have
the name. I might as well have the
game! I've been good. I've tried.
I’v kept from repeating innocent
gossip! Much good It did me! From
now on—watch out!”
Just what harm It would do
David for Chatty to gossip about
her friends she didn't reason out. It
was just a protest.
“And I'll go with Bryant Dun
ning all I please, so there! And he
can kiss me all he pleases—and—
I’ll go tonight!”
No sooner said than done. Out
of the apartment to the drug store,
a nickel in the slot, Bryant Dun
ning on the phone—
“Bryant? I need you! Seven
thirty. sharp. And I don’t want any
friends along, either. Just us two.
Bryant, dear. We re going to the
Lollypop and dance—and raise
whoopee!"

Forme* Commissioner of Health
There are many tests of baby's
Progress. Perhaps the surest one
; the steady increase in weight.
Yet. after all, this is not an un
uling sign of perfect health. The
. -ng sort of feeding may put on
1. and make the baby a "bouncer."
at health isn't all in the looks
-ml weight. Such an infant may
not be progressing in muscle and
■M building. Its brain and nerv- ■
cus system may lack essential ele
ments.
There is no single thing that may
be accepted as proof conclusive of
perfect health. Steady increase in
.'.eight and weight are included in
he group of good signs.
IIow the child sleeps is another
way to determine that all la well.
A young baby is asleep most of the
twenty-four hours. With the ex
ception of the feeding periods, a
little time to stretch and kick, and
a few minutes for crying, it is
asleep.
Wakefulness, restlessness and
peevishness, are not favorable
cymptoms. They indicate that j
something is wrong. If they con
tinue. pretty soon loss of appeute
will be noted. Then the normal
Gain in weight will stop.
Clearness and sweetness of the
: kin are other evidences of normal
health. They will net be present if
the waste materials of the body
are not carried away as they
should be.
Fermentation with diarrhoea,
constipation and highly colored and
:calding urine should not be pres
ent. If they are It won’t be long
before the skin will lose its fresh
ness and sweetness. Sourness, dry
ness and breaking out will be ob
served.
The great majority of all a baby’s
troubles come from wrong feeding.
The mother just must master the
science and art of infant feeding.
Everything depends on having tiic
mixture correct In its ingredients
and made in such a way as to es
cape the dangers of contamination.
It is natural for a baby to be
hungry and take its food eagerly.
Every young animal acts as if it
were hollow clear to the bottoms
of its feet. It is always ready to i
eat if it is healthy.
Somehow or other we forget that
babies get thirsty too. Many time*
the restlessness and crying of an
infant will disappear if it is given
water. Thirst need not be regarded
as a sign of illness. It is a proper
appetite in a healthy baby.
