Tidal Wave Hits
Norwegian Town
Oslo, Norway, Sept. 13.?(U.R)?
A landslide and tidal wave swept
the Lake Leon district north of
Berlin today, taking at least 74
lives.
A mass of earth and rock swept
down 3,230 feet from Ravpefjeldet
mountain, cutting a swath more
than 1,000 feet wide. It swept
onto the village of Beedal and
wiped out all but three houses.
Then it plunged into the water,
causing a tidal wave which inun
dated many farms. Crops were
ruined and property damage ran
into thousands of dollars.
A steamer was tossed over 900
feet ashore by the force of the
wave, and two bridges nearly five
miles away were destroyed.
Medical aid was sent by air
plane from Oslo because roads
throughout the devastated area
were blocked. It was believed ad
ditional bodies would be found in
the debris.

DEAR MISS CHATFIELD:
When we were married my wife and I decided that each of us would
| take one night a week out from home and in this way keep up with
friends who were not mutual friends. My wife belongs to a club that
meets every Friday and I go out on Saturday. The other five nights
we are at home together with the children. Someone whispered to me i
that she had been seen at a movie with my best friend. Imagine my
I shock when she told me that they were in love and he was trying to
persuade her to get a divorce and marry him. It pretty well washed
me up. But after we threshed the matter out we decided for the chil
I dren s sake to take up where we left off, forget the past as best we
I could and keep our home. I am not sure that the decision was wise.
What do you think? A. S. H.
ANSWER:
Surely you did the right thing and as the years go by you will
be glad that you had the courage to take your blow standing up,
carrying on for the suite of innocent little ones who couldn't have
had a lair start in life had you exercised your rights.
Divorced fathers and mothers may find new mates to fill the bill but
not once in a coon's age can a step-parent take the place ol a real
parent in the lives of the little ones. Though they may be too young
to put it into words, children of divorced parents sense the shattering
of the secure world into which they were born?the home. Their emo
tional balance is likely to be upset by divided allegiance to mamas,
papas and "steps." They are embarrassed before other children whose
home life is normal. They bear the brunt of the fray.
I can never forget the pained expression on the fare of a little
eight-year-old who sat at a happv family dinner table while the
head of the house carved a chicken. She swallowed hard and said:
"When we have chicken mama sa.vs she wisher, papa was there
to carve it"?and then with an apologetic giggle she added: "but
papa is married and has another home now." If her papa had seen
the wistful look on that little face and heard the pathos in that
little voice he couldn't have eaten a bite of chicken in the other
home?without clicking.
Men and women who bring little ones into the world haven't the I
moral right to decide any problem without giving their children first
consideration. CAROLINE CHATFIELD.

CHAPTER VII?Continued

But Dorrie was not finished. She
went on in a tangential torrent of
reproach. "I'm sick of all your
relatives and thousand cousins tell
ing me what a prize I've won in
you, their fair-haired boy!?as if I
were noth ng! And you've humiliat
ed me?jes, you have! . . . It's
your fault?yours only! I meant to
bo a good wife 'to you?intended to
be?but all you think of is that old
business! . . . You never under
stood "
"Shut up!" he thundered sudden
ly. A vein was livid across his tem
ple.
She stared at him. Then threw
herself into a chair and began to
cry, long, tearing sobs that set his
raw nerves quivering.
Grimly ho emptied the drawers,
throwing things to the floor, then
crowding them into the cases. He
snapped them shut, lifted them and
started out.
She flew to the door, barred it
with her outspread arms. "Hugh?
don't go."
"Stand away," he ordered impa
tiently.
"Not tonight, Hugh ?don't go.
Tomorrow ..."
"I'm going." ,
"Where can you go: . . . Don't
leave me?not tonight. There's no
need to be hasty!" Her voice fal
tered.
He looked at her with set face.
"There is no place for me in this
house?haven't you told me?"
"I said wild things ..."
"That have been in your mind.
Waiting to be said."
"I didn't realize "
"You talk about understanding
well. I didn't. I thought of you as
something special, rare, and en
chanting. My life revolved around
you?you knew it?I told you. I
never saw you as you really are?
common, vulgar and selfish. When
you said things that disturbed me,
I thought it was caprice. I worked
hard to make more money to give
it to you, because I loved you. No
one could have made me believe
tl>is thing if I hadn't seen you in
his arms, seen your filthy* caresses
..." He choked, turned his head
aside. "Now let me go!"
"Not tonight. I won't let you."
"I can't stay here."
"Yes, you can. Lot us talk things
over quietly?decide what is best
to be done."
Bert to be dene? Whit was best
to be done?
"It's so late?where will you go?

Meads Seeks To Mark
Entrance To Canal
Commerce Secretary O. C. |
Meads yesterday mailed to oil
companies and to others possibly
interested, a chart of the Dismr.l |
Swamp canal headwaters and a
request lor funds to assist in the j
erection of a sign directing water I
traffic to this city.
Origination of the idea is cred- -
ited to Wilson Sanders of the Eli
zabeth City Iron wor'rs who asked
the aid of the local Cii mber of
Commerce Merchants ar...u iation
:n the project.
Eecause of the fact that much i
boat traffic passes down Elizabeth J
river out of Norfolk and Ports- ,
mouth into the Albemarle and
Chesapeake canal .through ignor
ance of the existence of the
swamp waterway, the 10 by 20
foot. sign will be large enough to
call attention to the opening of
the marine short cut.
Violin Made Of Brass
Lcndcn <U.R>?A violin made:
[rem empty shell cases of the fa- ?
mous French "75's" during the
World War. which is played night
ly in a West End restaurant, is
believed to be the only brass fiddle
in the world. M. Tapponiere, the
owner of the instrument, said the
violin was made behind the
Fn nch lines at More de la Faux
in 1917 to cheer up officers a?
mess.
i
Soviet scientists report that nor
mal deterioration of fruits and vege
tables is delayed by treatment with
radio waves.
... or a hotel? Publish the whole
thing . . . !"
The roots of habit and of home
are mighty in their strength, sturdy
in resisting an attempt to break
away. But he could not occupy the
bed so close to her, knowing
His mother? What explanation
could he offer? ... It would have
to be a hotel! He readied for the
knob of the door behind her back.
But "fchc had read his wavering
of a second. "The other room.
Hugh?the guest room! You can
sleep there!"
| Sleep? She thought he could
sleep? At length he gave an un
willing gesture of assent. Dorrie
hurried in to turn on the lights, re
move the silken coverlid. She hat
ed the idea of change, he thought;
wanted to go on without definitely
facing the issue. Something would
have to be done. What?he did not
know. Perhaps the morrow would
bring some clarity.
Dorrie turned at the door before
leaving. "Does Joan know?"
He nodded.
"She does?" She bit her lip.
"Then I suppose she told }ou."
He did not answer.
She said with a curious venom,
"I'm sure she did?and it was pret
ty mean of her, when she knew
how it would hurt you!"
Hugh stared at her.
Her door closed.
The darkness folded the room
round, an aching evil darkness. An
iron band tightened around Hugh s
skull, and his mouth seemed filled
with the taste of brass. The sec
ond time that night, that taste. Odd
thing. He had never had it before!
. . . His heart pounded until his
chest ached, and his nerves were
as tense as fiddle strings.
Over and over the scenes, the
words repeated themselves?Joan
. . . Dorrie and Cun . . . Dorrie.
They would not let him alone. And
each time the act was played, he
became awaie of sinister implica
tions, ghastly ogre faces that
leered and mocked at him, sug
gested details, whispered: "Don't
you remember that time ?"
Joan had said "they don't care
any more." Then she meant that
others must know, and he, like the
fool in the snickering fable, was the
last to learn what was going on
under his own roof.
Then like an imperious flood it
came over him, distaste and long
ing mingled in its waves, his de
sire for this woman who had be
trayed him, for the sweet, dear
flesh which had scorned so inalien
ably his own. He despised him
self for his passion, but he could
not quell it or mrstcr it.
At length the chattering of rob
ins and sparrows, tne crescendo
and diminuendo of passing cars,
the sound of the maid going out
to early church, warned him that
no matter how calamitous, he must
take up the burden of the day.
Dorrie had loved Hugh when she
married him, but she had never
been in love with him. He offered
a mode of life much pleasanter and
mure dignified than her wander
ings with her mother before she
met Hugh.
Her marriage pleased her at
first. She rejoiced in the back
ground of the Marsh family in Cor
inth, faintly boasted of it in let
ters to friends, liked the novelty of
having a home of her own and an
indulgent husband who could not
do enough for her. Later when she
became bored with the convention
alities cf Corinth, which was so
much like the Harrisville of her
youth, she sternly told herself she
was lucky?lucky: that Hugh was
far too good for her.
Fluvanna puzzled her at first. She
was not the traditional mother-in
law. Couid anyone so generous, sol
