The Cameraman—Historian
One of the hardest things for a reader of history to
do is to realize that the figures which appear on the pages
before him were once real flesh-and-blood people like
himself.
Time and fame have a way of freezing men into he
roic attitudes. The past looks like a series of tableaus, a
group of heroic paintings in which everything is arrang
ed just so. It contains no blood, no human emotions.
Washington remains eternally rigid, posing in the
bow of a boat as it crosses the Delew are amid ice; the
Declaration of Independence was signed by a collection
of well-dressed gentlemen who kindly faced the artist and
arranged their ruffles—and passed into eternity that way.
It is hard to believe that these folks lived and moved
about and got hungry and felt tired as ordinary people do.
So history becomes unreal; and a speculative man is
apt to wonder, now and then, if perhaps the moving pic
ture camera won’t introduce a welcome change.
A century from now people who study the doings of
this generation won’t have to depend on paintings. Our
great men won’t be figures from a portrait gallery; they
will be human beings in front of a news camera, some of
them slightly smitten by stage fright, none of them frozen
into colorful immobility. Our city crowds, our farmers,
our armies—they, too, will move and laugh and be real.
And that will be a tremendous advantage. What
wouldn’t we give, today, for instance, for a good news
picture of the Boston tea party, an action shot showing
a w'agon train heading west to the Ohio Purchase, an in
formal picture of the Constitutional Convention, an ex
posure or two of the Lincoln-Douglass debates or the
building of the Union Pacific railroad?
If we had such things we wouldn't be so apt to credit
our ancestors with impossible virtures. We should real
ize that heroes like Washington and Jackson and Web
ster were mortal men like Coolidge and Hoover and Roo
sevelt, that the ragged continentals were probably quite
as irreverent and profane as the A. E. F.. and that, in
short, the Americans of the golden age were blood broth
ers to ourselves.
Escape From the Slums
A recent United States dispatch from Stockholm re
marks that the migration of workingmen to suburban
homes in that city is going forward at a rapid pace.
The city owns a vast belt of ground surrounding the
city, and it has leased building lots and provided paving.
water and lights so that low-priced residential districts
may be developed to take the place of city slums. As a
result, Stockholm is encircled by a ring of pleasant subur
ban settlements which have the charm and quiet of coun
try towns but which are within reach—financial and other
wise—of workers in the city factories.
Here might be a scheme into which American cities
could look with profit. To be sure, it smacks of paterna
lism. government-in-business, socialism and what-not; but
apparently it is a slum-elimination scheme of extreme
practicability.

A FAREWELL TO HERBERT
HOOVER
Sc long, Herb!—Boy,
You fought the fight;
You stood and took
It day and night.
You knew the storm
And ranging gale.
The cyclone and
The driving hail.
You stood your ground
For four long years
And felt worlds crash
About your ears.
Yours was a term
Ol stress and din—
You had to take
It on the chm.
So go and rest—
Of this be glad:
You won't, as time
Goes by, seem bad.
You did your best,
Ycu didn't fake it—
And we ll say this
Boy, YOU COULD TAKE IT!
Y ou got the job
111 time of song
And had to watch
The world go wrong.
You entered in
A time of ease
And had to hear
The music cease.
You came when there
Was no distress.
Ami had :o sound
The SOS.
Before you'd time
To grab a seat
The hurricane
About you beat.
You never knew
A quiet day.
But didn't shirk
Oi run away.
You took the wheel
Of storm-tossed ship
And kept a good
i Stiff upper lip.
You didn't shrink.
Y'ou didn't quake,
And didn't get
A single break.
Best wishes, Herb—
And here's a bet;
Old Uncle Sam
Will need you yet!
Senator Thomas J. Walsh
A crimson flame dies out agains.
The wintry sky;
A sudden darkness fills the scene
And dims the eye.
A penetrating light, long seen.
Fades into night—
Gone is a fighter in the cause
Of truth and right!
The late Senator Walsh will be
f rily missed by all but the wrong

blazing integrity that many of our

TEXAS TOPICS
BY RAYMOND BROOKS
A unique fight came up in the
Texas senate, its import quicklv
sensed by those watching the
prohibition bills.
Sen. Wood’ 1 proposed that some
additional senators be put on the
state affairs comnuUee. suggesting
Blackert, Sander ford and one or
two others. This met the opposi
tion of Purl o! Dallas, who asked
tc add Poage and Greer, and to
send the entire proposal to the
rules committee to pass on the
change. Sen. Woodward wanted to
add the names of all senators to
the state aifairs group.
By adding a few more senators,
it appeared jjossible that prohibi
tion measures may come out with
a majority, instead of minority re
port Sen. Woodul told the senate
he did not care, as to any bill he
l ad. whether it was a majority or
minority report. since the senate;
itself finally will decioe the fate
of any bill in either event.
All the technical procedural laws
and bills, filling a substantial vol
ume of the printed code, would be
brushed aside and supreme court
given power to make rules for pro
cedural matter under a bill by
George C. Purl of Dallas in the
Texas senate.
The civil Judicial council alone
has more than a dozen procedura.
bills. Every session has had many
tuaiing with transcripts, filing o.
rtcords and tecluucal matters o4
the kind.
Bep T H McGregor, urging be
fore the senate committee of the
whole his proposed amendmem
r< organizing the judiciary, told the
senate this measure would save
over $2,000,000 a year in salaries
alone. He would combine the
county and district clerks, county
and district attorneys; abolish all
district courts and provide a coun
ty court in each county in then
place He would leave the preseir
county judge as a member of the
commissioners' court, but without
Judicial function or the title. Ht
would enlarge supreme court tc
nine mi mbers. with legislative
power to increase the number tc
16 all new members to be* electee
rather than appointed. He would
enlarge criminal appeal court tc
five, and abolish ail the li court.
of civil appeals.
His plan has been approved bt

Daily Health
_ Talk _
Most people now know that the
keeping of food at a proper tem
perature and under proper condi
tions of cleanliness is highly Ira
; portant for the prevention of dis
case.
As Miss E. M. Oeraghty, formerly
dietitian of a great hospital in
Cleveland, points out in a recent
issue of Hygeia, the price paid for
food at the grocery is much increas
ed if the material is lost because of
bad care In the home after the lovd
arrives.
Cereals, bread, crackers, cookies
and cake always should be kept in
tightly covered containers in a cool
place. Otherwise they are subject to
drying a. d to infestation with cer
ium.
Butter must be kept at a tem
perature of from 60 degrees F. tu
10 degrees F.; certainly not much
higher or it will become rancid and
may be a source of infection. Of
course, this temperature may be
below that of the usual refrigerator
but is fhe very best temperature.
The usual refrigerator temoei
uture may be anywhere from 40 de
grees F. to 50 degrees F.
: A good ice refrigerator should
maintain a temperature of from 45
degrees F in the milk compartment
to 50 degrees F. in the food com
partment.
Certain foods should be bought
fairly frequentl; to get the maxi
mum of flavor and aroma out of
them. These include, for example,
cereals and coffee.
• • •
Of course, fresh fruits of vari
cur types should be kept in the re
frigerator; fats and oils should not
be put in the refrigerator, however,
because they will absorb strong
odors and flavors from other food
substances. Miss Geraghty pouits
out that asparagus, corn and peas
do not keep well anywhere and
•should be used as soon as possible
after picking.

NOW t.O ON WITH THE STORT
CHAPTER IX
iv IIKRK. Janet asked herself.
” had she seen that face before?
Such a pretty girl with dark, curl
ing hair, eyes that were wide set
and fringed with deep lashes.
Sho was as young as Janet, per
haps younger. Where In the
world— ?
All at once she remembered
This was the girl she had seen
entering the Brewster Coffee Shop
the girl with the young man
who looked like Rolf. Janet
tudied the picture closely. Yes.
it was certainly the same girl,
she had been sfiiiling then, her
head turned In half-profile exact
ly as the photographer had caught
this picture. Oh. there was no
doubt of it!
The picture was one of four,
grouped In what in a newspaper
office is known as a “layout.” The
caption above read. “Society Buds
Forsake Parties for Jobs in Stores
and Offices.”
Beneath the picture of the girl
with the dark hair were the
words, “Miss Betty Kendall, above,
•laughter of Mrs. E. K. Curtis and
a member of the Junior Guild, has
embarked on a career in the field
of advertising."
Advertising! Janet scanned the
columns of type below the picture
At least a dozen young women.”
he first paragraph began, “promi
nent in l^ancaster’s younger social
set are forsaking parties and club
meetings these days to work in
offices and stores and even to show
real estate to prospective clients.
They declare that selling books
and art goods, w-dting advertise
ments and telling people how to
decorate their homeB is far more
interesting than a round of bridge
playing and dancing.”
That was not what Janet wanted
to know. She skipped several
paragraphs, then came to this:
“Miss Betty Kendall, who is
one of the most popular members
, of the Junior Guild, has chosen
the field of advertising and la now
employed in the office of the Atlas
Advertising Co., of which her
uncle. Dwight R. Kendall, is vice
president. Miss Kendall attended
Miss Mayberry's School from
which she was graduated last
spring—”
• • •
IANET looked at the picture
* again. Her memory flashed
hack to that Saturday afternoon—
10 days ago, was it?—when she
had passed the Brewster Hotel on
ner way to lunch. She saw the
girl In the dark fur coat and the
voung man beside her. The whole
icene reappeared exactly as It bad
happened — the girl looking up.
smiling, the man with the topcoat
like Roll's holding open the door
Mollic put n hand on the other girl’s shoulder. "Don’t worry,
honey." she said.
of the Coffee Shop. The couple,
of course, were on their way to a
luncheon date. She ev. n felt again
the stab of amazement that had
come over her when she had
thought she re ognized Rolf.
But it had been Rolf! Of
course it had. Rolf and R tty
Kendall, this society girl who was
playing at working in the same
office where he worked. Oh, why
did girls from ruli homes have
to do such things? Why couldn't
they leave the Jets for those who
needed them? Why couldn't they
leave the Jobs alone and men who
were engaged to other girls—!
"But Rolf told mo he wasn't
there. He said I was mistaken,"
Janet reminded her. elf. Had he?
Had Rolf really put that denial
into words or had lie only said
something that she took to mean
the same thing? Janet wasn’t
; sure.
She sat staring down at the pic
ture of this other girl. The ache
in Janet’s heart was almost like
physical pain She had forgotten
everything except tiiat Rolf did
not want to be engaged to her
any more. She had forgotten that
she and Mollie Lambert were
going to the movies.
Mollie, before the mirror, added
a final, basty dab of powder to
her nose and turned. “Just as
soon as 1 get my hat on now—”
she said, the sentence dying away
unfinished. She picked up a
brown hat with a green feather
on it and pulled it down over her
head.
"Mollie!”
The other whirled.
"Mollie. 1 want you to look at
this.’’
"Look at what?”
She crossed to Janet’s aide. It
was tho picture of Betty Kendall,
smiling out of tho newspaper
page, that Janet held up.
“Did you ever see her?’’ Janet
asked.
• • •
VIOLT.IE frowned. “Don’t think
so. Wh it's he. name?" Then
she read aloud. "Betty Kendall."
Tor an instant Mollie was silent.
pursing her lips. All at or*- she
said, "Oh—!’’ with a swi .* intake
of breath as though she t3i-ant to
suppress the exclamation.
"Where did you see her?” Janet
persisted.
"I’m not sure,” the other girl
said slowly. "I—well, to be
honest, she looks something tike
that girl I saw Rolf Carlyle with
the other night. Rut maybe I’m
mistaken, i wouldn’t want to
swear to It—"
"That's who It Is," Janet said
quickly, "She's working In the
same office where Rolf works
Her uncle is vice president of the
compauy.”
"Vice president? Then what’s
she working for?"
"Because,” Janet smiled bitter
ly. "it's fashionable to work these
days. All the ‘Bociely buds’ are
doing U. See—that’s what the
paper says Oh, you're right
about it, Mollie. That’s the girl!"
Mollie Lambert was older than
Janet. She plumped down beside
the younger girl. "Listen.” Mollie
.'aid earnestly, "maybe I shouldn't
have said what I did the other
night. I mean about Rolf. Gee.
i didn’t want to start any trouble:
You—well, you haven't been look
ing quite like yourself, Janet |
I've been worried Afraid maybe
you and Holf had had a row or
something. Is there anything
wrong?” 1
*> u. ii
Mollie seemed relieved. "Well,
I’m Kind to hear that." she said.
"You know it doesn’t really mean
anything if the boy friend wants
to step out on a date now and
then. People don't feel the way
they u-ed to about things like
that 1 n can even when you're
engaged.”
"Out we’re not,” Janet put In
quickly. "Rolfs free to do any
thing he wants to—"
"You’re not engaged? You
mean you’ve broken it off?”
The other girl nodded.
"Oh, hut Janet, that’s terrible!
Oh, I hope It wasn't because of
what 1 told you!”
"It wasn’t your fault,” Janet
assured her. With a touch of tbs
bitter humor she had voiced a
moment before she went on,
"Rolf and 1 arc different. We—
we don’t like the same things.
He wants a good time and I don't
care about that. The whole thing
was a mistake—”
W W 9
rTKR words rose hysterically,
* * then broke off. Janet’s lips
trembled and site turned away
quickly. It was the first time she
had told anyone that her engage
ment was at an end. She had
been repeating Rolf's words, al
most literally.
"But that's all nonsense!” Mol*
lle said heatedly. "Why, I thought
you and Rolf were crazy about
each other!”
"Well, we're not. We're—not
going to see each other any
more!M
Mi llie put a hand on the otb^i
• iris shoulder. “Don't worfA
honey. It'll all come out a™
rurht. He’ll he back, more In love
with you than ever/'
Janet shook her bead. ”1
haven't seen him for a week." she
said. "I thought maybe he'd tele
phone or drop iri at the office or
something hut he hasn’t. It’s this
other girl, lie's probably with her
now—”
"Well, then, give him a taste of
the same medicine! What you
ought to do is step out with some
other fellows. Show him you
don't care!”
"Maybe you’re right.” Janet
agreed. "Maybe I should."
Hut she knew in her heart she
rouldn t do that. She didu t want
to go out with other young men.
ilow could she laugh and talk
gayly when her heart was like
lead ?
Suddenly Janet aroused herself.
She said with a smile that only
half succeeded. “Say, weren’t w#
going to the movies? We'll never
get there unless we get started.”
“That’s right," Motile agreed
“Come on!”
They chose the Princess down
town with its ebony and silver
fojer and its plusb seats Instead
of the neighborhood movie housw
The last time Janet bad gone to
the neighborhood theater she had
been with Kolf and she didn't
want to be reminded of that eve
ning. However, the leading man
in the Princess picture bad played
>n the tilm she and Rolf had seen
and It was useless to try to for
get that other evening.
“You poor kid!" Mollle e«
claltied later as they said good
night. “You mustn’t take it so
hard You'll see Kolf again be
fore long!"
Would she? If she did see Rolf
what should she say? Janet bad
puzzled over this problem often
without coming to a decision.
Suppose he telephoned or she met
film on the street. What should
she say?
Three nights later she was to
know the answer.
