The vast difference between what Mr. Hoover proposed and what congress seems bent on doing In the matter of tariff revision raises interesting speculation concerning what course to pursue. Will he content himself, as Mr. Coolidge so largely did. with letting congress run its legislative rourse with out molestation from the White House and resorting when his judgment so dictates to the constitutional veto? Or will he like Roosevelt and Wilson prefer to regard himself as the actual leader of his party and employ the power of the executive to Influence con gress In Its lawmaking process? Each course has Its attractions for a forceful executive and there are many precedents for both. Thus far congress has chosen to go far afield In tariff tinkering In so far as the expressed and im plied wishes of the president are concerned. During the campaign Mr. Hoover attributed a considerable part cf national prosperity to existing tariff laws. He pronounced those laws good and wholesome in most respects and agreed to such limited changes rs ex perience had shown to be absolutely necessary, tie called congres together for what the country under stood to be limited revision. He Is still considered the exponent of limited revision. But congress has recognized mighty few limitations In dealing with the tariff. The country has entirely misunderstood what Mr. Hoover meant if the pending tariff meas ures conform at all to the executive wish. If either Roosevelt or Wilson were orcsident. there would be a quick protest from the White House tvnd a peremptory appeal for congressional ronformity. If Coolidge were president, there might be a icto. but probably there would be no other executive -n- | terference. What will Mr. Hoover do? The tvpe of administration he is to 'nve the country will be de-,j termlned very largely by his attitude during the next ^ few months. Out of the Rhineland Foreign trooos are to be withdrawn from the Ger man Rhineland by June. 1930. Thus ends a long occu pation that has been a constant Irritant to the Ger man people. Victory is verging toward amicable agree ment. Force apd threats and fears now figure less in the international relations on the continent. It has , been long since the armistice, but now real peace is to fellow the era of armed truce. Under a Bushel Bv the most imperative of military decrees All Quiet on the Western Front.*' has been excluded from the military libraries of Austria and no Austrian sol- j tier is permitted to read that Iliad of the trenches.. No, doubt the Vienna war lords are convinced that a general reading of Remarque's masterpiece would break , the morale of the army and convert the soldiers of , the line into everlasting enemies of war. And there can be little doubt that no soldier can read such a stark presentation cf martial horrors and march to ; battle with enthusiasm. I This Austrian prohibition emphasizes the potential I influence of Remarque’s indictment of war. It is a striking manifestation of the fears entertained by war { makers that peac will be advanced and carnage re tarded by the vivid picture Remarque has painted ) of war ns it actually Is. While the reading world has paid extravagant trlb I ute to this monumental story of the year no higher tribute has been paid it than this effort of decadent Austria to close the pages of the narrative to the soldiers of the line. A book less poignant and vivid very well could be ignored. —~ -j'iJL..'-. ■i.ji II.- j_Ligggi jan.—11 -st. I Tk© ©use® ©v®ir By H.

A few days later a story appeared in New York newspapers that John Ringling. after a long series of conferences, had refused to book his circus to play at Madison Square Garden, as has been the custom for many years. John Ringling. be it remembered, was one of the promoters of the new Madison Square Garden; is a member of the board of directors and vice president of the organisation. This same story appearing in New York papers said Sells-noto had been signed to play at the Gar den following Ringling’s refusal to sign a contract. It also said Ringling was planning to erect a huge arena In New York especially for his circus. Sells-noto was one of the circuses purchased a few days after New York papers announced Ringling Brothers Circus would not play at the Garden, but that the smaller aggregation would. Wonder if the old circus king's purchase of rll the good shows In the country was a deep dyed ( scheme to force Madison Square Garden officials to ills terms. IISIM®®!

CEHTPAl PPESC ASS'S INC, ClEVElANO, OHIO- / CHAPTER 54 The next morning, looking over the “Female Help Wanted” column in the paper. Chatty come across a little item headed “The import ance of the comma." In the story was the famous quotation: “Ther? is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we may” and the misprinting of it. showing how the changing of a comma alters the sense: There is a destiny that shapes our ends rough, hew them as we may.” Chatty smiled: queer, what a dif ference one little comma could make! But she remembered it with a gasp as she walked down town and almost fell over Agnes. • Surely my destiny is shaping my ! ends roush!” thought Chatty, swut y. Then, before she could lose her i courage, she spoke. “Agnes! Oh, Agnes. I want to talk to you!” "Why, Chatty! It's ages since I : saw you—are you all over the ef fects of your accident?” Chatty was hardened to people knowing about her accident. Every one in the city, apparently, had read the newspapers! “Yes. thank you—if you mean the automobile accident. I am not over the effects of other damage I have —done to myself! But never mind me! Tell me—what have you been doing to yourself? You look won der fu!” It was true. Agnes did look like another girl. She had put on some flesh, her eyes were bright and clear, the sad droop to the mouth was all gone, replaced by a smile almost merry. Her walk was erect, quick, alert. Her carriage betoken ed confidence in the world, in her self, her — her — “her destiny I” thought Chatty. “It’s not shaping her ends rough—now.” Chatty blushed a little at the thought. When she had played destiny for Agnes, It was rough, indeed. “May I—can I—is there any place we can go—and talk?” asked Chat ty. “I do need to talk to you—” “Not now." answered Agnes. “I'm sorry—but my position is very ex acting. And they are very' partic ular at the bank. I am private secretary to Mr. Eller by; he’s presi dent of the Midas bank, you know.” The Midas bank! Agnes must see David every day. Did he take her to lunch, she wondered? What mat ter? He doubtless took many girls to lunch! Chatty longed to ask Agnes about him. But It was not her business. David was no longer in her life. She bit her lip to keep the question back. “No—I—I didn’t know.” she an swered weakly. “But—wcud you come to my house?” went on Agnes. "I’d love to have a nice talk with you! 1 always liked you—you are so gay and happy!" Gay and happy! She. Chatty, gay and happy! Could she ever have been so? “11 be glad to come. When?” asked Chatty, feeling that she was burning her bridges behind her. It would be hard—hard— “Tonight!” answered Agnes. “Will you have tea with me. say at seven?” “Thank you. I'll be there—Oh, where is it?” Agnes told her, a quiet neighbor hood. Chatty knew. The kind of a neighborhood a girl like Agnes would choose. Somehow, all that feeling of superiority she once had for Agnes, as a girl who would “fall for a married man” had disap peared. Chatty had her nerve up ment. A doze to phone Agne A queer incident decided her. At half past six that evening, moving towards the phone to break the engagement. Chatty had a sudden thought! ‘Oh, I wish I had a drink!" Then a revulsion of feeling! No! Never again! That very revulsion against the instinctive throw-bac’.c to days she hoped were forever dead, turned her from the phone, out of the house, and into the street car, which took her to Agnes' modest apartment house. • • • Agnes' apartment was like her; . cool and quiet, refined, dainty, al most somber. But an occasional note of color relieved its severity. The two girls chatted on imper-1 sonal topics for a few minutes Then Chatty sat up in her chai. j and gasped: “Agnes—I—help me to be brave! I—I have something to confess to you." “Confess? To me? Why, Chat ty, what do you mean?" Chatty gulped. "I stole your diary," she began, in a flat voice. "I stole your keys to get it from your desk. I—I was jealous of you. Mr. Jordan, you know. He had written you a note. I was crazy to know what it con-1 tained. It was nothing—Just bust-; ness. Then I went through your desk. I read your diary. I tore out some pages. I sent them to Mrs. Van Nuys." Chatty looked Agnes straight in the face, her own white and drawn with the effort, her voice shaking. She did not know of the evident suffering in her eyes. “Why did you, Chatty?" Agnes' voice was impersonal, not angry or filled with passion. "Jealousy—and my horrible desir; to know things, tell things, to be a busy-body!” Once started, Chatty did not spare' herself. “I know, now, what a terrible thing I did. I know, now, that I am unworthy of the respect, the liking, the love of anyone. Then I just thought I was smart, cute. I didn't care what harm I did; I used to say to myself. The truth never hurt anyone,’ and that it was my duty' to tell things." Chatty stopped, to gulp down a sob in her throat. Agnes sat quiet, waiting. “That's all. Agnes. It took me a long time to make up my mind to confess. But I had to do it. It's the only reparation I know how to make. I don't expect you to forgive me. I am not worthy to be for given. But — I had to tell you!" Chatty put her face down in her hands, and the sob came out. Then, as Agnes crossed the room to her swiftly and put a very tender hani on her shoulder, Chatty sprang erect. "Oh, don't be good to me!” she cried. “You know you hate me in your heart! I must take my pun ishment! But—but please believe 1 am sorry—almost as sorry as you are—” Agnes laughed—actually, a soft, gentle little laugh. "But, my dear, I am not sorry!” The amazing words dropped Chatty's mouth open in wonder. Nut sorry? “Listen, my dear, and 111 tell you. Like many another lonely woman, 1 ieii in love with my employer. He never looked at me; the occasional lunch, the bemg in the office with him, all those tilings that looked so guilty, were nothing but business, i never expected anything from him. I just wanted to sene him, be near him. protect him—I hadn t anyone else to love! "What happened was a terrible shock to me—and a terrible injus tice to him; it must have been tor ture for hiB wife. Nothing I could say could alter the apparent facts I had so foolishly put In my diary. "But I left. I got another Job. For months I was like a lost soull Then—I met another man. Look— I don't wear it to work—” Agnes held out her eft hand. On the engagement finger blazed a beautiful ring. • We are to be married in a coupl* of months!” went on Agnes. "Had I not left—I might not have met him.” Chatty was utterly bewildered. Could good, then, come out of evil? Agnes held out her left hand. On you did was very, very wrong, of course.” she went on. But like sc many tragedies, it had its brignt side for me. It brought me to my self. I abominate the sneak, the spy, the tattle-tale, the busybody, Chatty. I suspect you do, too, now. But I not only can, but do forgive you.” “Why?” demanded Chaty. “Why do you forgive me?” “Because you have been honest and courageou, and confessed!” an swered Agnes. "I know it was hard. No one can do more—that’s the pity of wrong doing; we seldom can right it, no matter how hard we try- Your confession doesn't take away the misery I suffered, Mrs. Van Nuys’ agony, the anxiety Mr. Van Nuys underwent. But it's the best you can do. Angels can do no more than their best!” Agnes stretched forth her long arms and pulled little Chatty to her. “Let's not talk about it any more!” she suggested. “I am hap py now—and I know you will be happier—” “Oh. I am. Now. if I can just get a job—’* “Are you out of a job?” demand I ed Agnes. I didn't know—why why, Chatty. I can get you a job. Oh. oh, not in the bank!" Agnes ! smiled, in undemanding. "But I can get you a job. I am sure of it!” (TO BE CONTINUED) ‘ ' ~~~ | MU-'- - ||- - .. ... —- ' Health and Right Living BY ROYAL S. COPELAND), ML D. Former Commlulooer of Health One of the advantages of outdoor life is its good effect upon the gen eral health. Some persons will go outdoors without being urged. Oth ers must be offered some induce ment to go out and enjoy the sun shine and fresh air. The lure of an outdoor picnic near a shady brook or waterfall, wUl induce even the tired business man to leave the daily grind fjr a «_ay. A picnic used to oe a rather try ing experience. - It was difficult to prepare and carry the food and have it in a tempting condition to serve at lunch time. Now heat proof paper containers, the thermos Jars and bottles, baskets, paper forks and spoons, add to the ease of preparing and serving the picnic lunch. The mother of the family Is grateful for these modern conven iences. The food that is to be served at the picnic is put into one of the thermos Jars, which insures its being in good Condition when the destination is reached. • here are no messy dishes and left-overs to be packed. The coffee or other beverage may be carried in thermos bottles. Let us consider the advantages of picnics from a health standpoint. It takes you out in the fresh air and sunshine for, naturally you couldn't have a picnic and escape these. The drive to and from the selected spot is full of Interest. You see things that attract the atten tion and appeal to the eye. Your mind leaves the worries of the pre vious week, and you are filled with the beauties of nature. You are happy. All these are health aids. Having partaken of a bountiful luncheon whether served from the most modern picnic basket, or from the simplest home-made one, you begin to feel that the world is a pretty good place after all. You watch the cows grating In the near by field or calmly chewing their cuds by the babbling brook. You are tempted to lie down and have a nap. You relax in spite of your self. Don't sit around the house next Sunday and growl about the trials and tribulations you had all this week and live over those you think you may have next week. After church take the family and go for a picnic. Forget your troubles. If you have a car, you will njoy a ride in the country. Perhaps you may have to r • by bus, trolley, bicycle, or even on foot. No matter what means of transportation you use, you will get home refreshed and invigorated. You will be as sured of a good night's rest, and with your disposition and health quite restored, instead of a blue Monday, you will have a sunny Monday. You will be better all the week. It does not pay to give way to the grouchy feeling. Not alone are you unhappy and your neighbors i made unhappy hut you are impair | ing your health. The effects pro duced by the picnic are conditions which add years to your life. ANSWERS TO HEALTH QI'ERfER S. P. Q.—Almost every time I go swimming I get a cramp in my leg.

Carpenter j As to the physical structure of * f ] comet, it always possesses a coma which is a nebulous, hazy cloud of partially transparent matter, oval in form, and faintly luminous. Coma means hair, and is the word that gives the name to the comet. This coma surrounds a nucleus that is very often briliant like a star. Net all comets display a nucleus, though usually the nucleus brightens as tho comet approaches the sun. A very striking feature of a comet is Its tail, though all comets do not have tails. The tail consists of the most rarefied matter thrown off by the nucleus and forcibly repelled by the sun. (More Tomorrow» Answers to Foregoing Questions 1. William T.
