the right channels and in developing youth along
healthy lines. Similar agencies among girla are also
doing splendid work. These organisations are so ef-
fective in their labors that there is perhaps a tendency
to over emphasise the part they play.
President Cooiidge addressing the Scout’s national
meeting sounded a warning against parents’ looking
too much to agencies outside of the home to rear their
children.
"There is no substitute for the influences of the
home and of religion” he said "these take hold of the
innermost nature of the individual and play a dominant
part in the formation of personality and character.
This most necessary and most valuable service has to
be performed by the parents or it is not performed at
all. It is the root of the family life. Nothing else
can take its place.”
The president paid an unusual tribute to scouting
when he declared that **if every boy between the ages
of 12 and V7 could be placed under the wholesome in-
fluences of the scout program and should .live up to
the Scout oath and rules we would have fewer pes-
simistic words at to the future of our nation.”
Scouting bears helpfully upon the boy just as fra-
ternal organisations and luncheon clubs help to im-
plore and develop the adult. These agencies arc im-
mensely valuable adjuncts to the home and the church
supplementing and amplifying what the home and
church do. But they arc not substitutes. There
aren’t any.
TIMELY VIEWS"
| J-;-->
B>. JOHN F. DULLES
International lawyer and former counsel to the Ameri-
can commission to negotiate peace in Paris
ia a recent speech.
After seven vears of discussion debts have been
adjusted. For all practical purposes Germany’s ex-
ternal debt has been cut about TO per cent; the English
war debt to tha United Suites cut about 30 per cent;
Belgian debt cut 60 per cent; Jul-
ian debt cut 80 per cent and the
French debt according to the lat-
est reports will be funded on a
basis which calls for approximate-
ly 45 per cent.
We are passing into a second
period where we must find out if
the residuum of the debt which
has been kept alive will actually
be honored.
#
Under the Allied debt settle-
ments England France Italy Bel-
gium and the other debtor nations
will all require an aggregate
amount at the beginning of about
i£vuuuouvu per annum; steadily increasing to about
twice that amount.
In addition the Dawes annuities rising to 2500.000-
000 gold marks n year (about $650000000) will large-
ly depend upon dollars as the medium for the transfer
into the foreign exchanges which the creditors desire.
The requisite dollars to pay the debts of other
nations to America can be secured in no other way hui
by borrowing. To secure these dollars American in-
vestors are offered stocks or bonds evidencing a par-
ticipation in the resources or industries of some for-
t*gp country. Europe must therefore put itself in
condition to attract American investment.
It is of tremendous importance that nothing should
occur to bring about any long continued cessation in
Americans loaning to foreigners. If this were to oc-
cur it would be but a short time before we would see
defaults in the foreign obligations to our treasury de-
faults in the foreign loans previously placed here with
the public and a curtailment of our exports money
t«* pay for which would not be available. The evil
consequences would be far-reaching since credit gen-
erally would be undermined.

One of the most influential labor leaders in the
present crisis in England’s industrial life is Benjamin
Tillett Labor member of Parliament and secretary to
the political and international department of the dock

"How’s your new office boy getting along?"
-Fine!" was the reply. "He’s got things so mixed
up that I couldn’t get along without him!"
A clergyman who had accepted an invitation to of-

"It was the poorest one I ever heard" she replied
l-romptly—"nothing in it at all."
Later in the dnjr the clergyman meeting his curate

"Oh very well!" was the reply. "I didn't have time

The motor car was driven by a determined young

INSTALLMENT NO. 12
The stories* told about Sylvia wore
originated by Sheila Anderson and
Wally Pickering and helped along
assiduously by every woman jealous
of Sylvia's recent success were'
amazingly grotesque and worse.
There were details it seemed
which could only be whispered be
hind discreetly eager palms--de-
tails which vaiied grew with each
new tclting. Sylvia and Sydney had
been together for an hour— two
hours—drinking. Miss Anderson
had seen a half-empty whiskey bot-
tle and glasses on the table. Syl-
via had received him in her night-
gown—her lingerie. A baccahana-
lirtn revel clearly. They had been
discovered locked in each other's
arms in tie living-room—the bed-
room—here the details became un-
printable depending on the imagin-
ation of the person telling the story.
Mrs. Harmon had barred her hus-
band from the house—had decided
to bring suit for divorce on the best
—or worst—possible grounds. Syl-
via and Sydney had been lovers for
months the affair cleverly screened
by his attentions to Jean Martin.
They were to be married as soon
as Mrs. Harmon secured her divorce.
“Perfectly disgusting-” Sheila
Anderson announced to a group of
friends on the United lot. “And to
think how we all fell for that ‘little
girl* line of hers! I always «»id she
was too good to be possible."
Serenely unaware of the stir she
had created yet by no means blind
to the possibility of it. Sylvia pass-
ed the gate at the International lot
and hastened to Paul Lamar’s office.
She had hoped stiil hoped in fact
that Sydney Harmon had followed
his wife the night before explain-
ed things to her admitted he was
•Irunk and that she Sylvia was
quite blameless in the matter. It
was a vain hope; had Sydney been
able to ^ee his wife that night it is
probable that he would have told
her the truth but wiicn he reached
the sidewalk she had driven off and
the barred door of his house had
-forced him to take refuy; at his
club. Mrs. Harmon was not a vin-
dictive woman but she had suffer-
ed n great deal at her husband's
hands and this time she was deter-
mined to teach him a lesson.
Arrived at Mr. Lamar's office
Sylvia addressed his sphinx-eyed
secretary Miss Ream with eager
confidence.
“I must see Mr. Lamar at once”
she said a certain wistfufness in
her voice. “It is most important.”
She did not ask if he was in. Miss
Ream disanpeared mi to the rear of-
fice with a curt nod; she had not
envied Sylvia her screen success but
she had resented her superior’s ver>
apparent interest in the girl. In a
few moments she was back again
leaving the door behind her open.
“Mr. Lamar will see you” she
said crisply resuming her ?e;.t «1
the typewriter. Sylvia went swift
ly into the inner room.
It was a large room very plainly
furnished. In spite of the gorgeous
ness lie lavished on his productions
Paul Lamar in hi* personal life
maintained an atmosphere o» simpli-
city. Some said it was a pose but
they* did him «n injustice. A big
man both mentally and physically
he had no time for trifles. As Syl-
via came up to his desk he rose put
out his band.
**I thought you would come" he
said gently. "Sit down."
Sudden tears rose to Sylv'Vs eyes
as she felt the friendly pressure of
his hand; at least he had met her
wtihout having first judA 1 her.
“You’ve heard?” she asked faint-
ly.
“Yes—all sorts of things.”
• And believed them?"
“I never believe any stories ahou*
people until I've heard both sides.
Tell me yours.”
Sylvia told him simply directly
sparing Jean as far as she could yet
making no martyr of herself on her
friend's account. She implied that
Sydney’s affair with the girl had
been a harmless one as indeed she
had no reason to doubt.
”0f course she concluded "l
wasn't strong enough to throw him
out. And I was terribly afraid that
if I didn't get rid of hint somehow
And quickly his presence in the
j^y^use would become known. Jean
wAs sick in bed and couldn’t do any-
thing. So when he promised to go
at once if I'd let him kiss me I-l
told him to go ahead. It may have
been foolish but there didn't seem
to be anything else to do. except
run out and call for help. And you
can amagine what that would have
meant. And just at that moment
when 1 was trying to push him away
from me his wife came. "Her voire
trailed off into rather a dismal sil-
ence. Somehow even to herself the
story sounde i weak unconvincing.
“You believe me don’t you?"
Mr. Lamar sat drumming on the
top of the desk with his finger
nails. For a full moment the room
was so still that Sylvia could hear
the ticking of his wrist watch the
beating of her heart.
"Of course I believe you” he said
presently. "And under the cir-
cumstances I don’t see what else you
could have done. It was unfortun-
ate as matters turned out. that you
had to let him in in the first place.
And a great pitv that vou did not
insist on explaining maters to Mrs.
Harmon ani the people with her
then and there."
“I tried to. She wouldn’t listen.
Before I knew it she was gone."
”1 understand.”
“And I expected her husband to
follow her—tell her the truth. lie
certainly had every reason to.”
Mr. Lamar shook his head.
“It was too late then” he said
slowly. "It wasn't onlv Mrs. Har-
mon you had to reckon with hut
that Anderson girl and Pickering.
Of course you realize that by this
time they have told everybody in
town."
”Y^—I suppose so." Sylvia paled
slightly but her courage did not
FORWARD. SWING!
“Well the Giggons have done it
all right! Crossed a river without
so much as wetting a hair! I guess
I shall have to own up that those
cousins of mine are smarter Monks
than I am Two-Legs!”
Chacma grinned a Baboon grin
shook first one hind foot and then
the other. Then he stretched his
arms high above his head.
“Come on down to the water’s
edge where we can see better what
mv cousins are going to do next”
coughed he. “My but I’ve a bad

of peeping. I know for I've had
just such a pain befpre when I’ve

f “But 'suppose the Gibbons should
spy us!” squealed Grunty. Chac-
' ma grinned.
“Suppose they should!” snickered
he. “Surely not even you. Grunt?
are so stupid as to think that hav-
ing taken all that trouble to cross
to the ot^er side the Gibbons would
eome hack again for us! No siree!
Over they are and over they'll
stay!”
Oat from cover trotted the Bab-
oon Peter and the little Pif close
behind him. And snddenlv Peter
they thought they saw:
A row of solemn old men stand-
ing on their heads in the water!
And behind these old men with
their heads where their feet ought
to be another row of solemn old
men rightside up. each old man
combing his long whiskers!
What they really saw was a row
of very thirsty Gibbons quenching
their thirst at ths cooling stream.
A second row of Gibbons having
drunk their fill and perhaps feel-
ing much mussed up after their up-
sidedown performance making their
toilet by the light of the moon us-
ing the water as a mirror.
•Whoo!”
The Gibbons at the water's edge
hurriedly drank their last drinks.
Their brothers behind them put the
last toucher; to their toilets.
“ H in 1 No rest for the w*»ary!’’
muttered Chacma. “Those Gibbons
are bound for a certain place and
they are not going to rest until they
get these. Look Two-Legs! There
hangs the leader from the highest
limb. Listen! That was the rally-
ing call. Now he is ordering them
" ward swing! Don’t
command? Another
rtose cousins of mine
will be gone."
Sure enough! In less time than it
takes to tell it the Travelers had
sprung to the trees and were swift-
ly swinging on their way.
Next: “Come In! Water's Fine!"

Again Patil Lamar shook his head^
and the loot of sympathy in hi*
eyes deepened
••I'm afraid you doft’l know the
world very well my dear ifirl.” be
said. “People—some people—if it
did not sound cynical I would be
tempted to say most people — are
only too ready even glad to judge
—condemn—without waiting to hear
both sides of a story. Don’t you
realize that this scandal—or alleged
scandal—has already been flashed
to every newspaper office in the
country?’’
“But-” .Sylvia’s checks grew
even paler now and she sat up very
straight—"they won't publish it?
They wouldn’t tare! ’’
-On the contrary I have positive
knowledge that they will publish it.
The whole story will appear in the
Los Angeles papers this afternoon.
And I can’t stop it Mr. Solbeig
can’t stop it. God knows we would
quick enough if we could not
only for your sake but for the sake
of the picture business as a whole.
But we can’t."
-How dare they publish anything
that isn’t true?*’ Sylvia asked
stormiiy.
-What they publish will be true.
The facts as they stand. That -Mrs.
Harmon did find you and her hus-
band together—found you. in fact
in his arms—at an early hour this
morning. That you were to put it
plainly very unconventionally dress-
ed and that as a result Mrs. Har-
mon is threatening a divorce. Thise
things are facts and you may hi?
very sure that the newspapers
throughout the country will know-
how to present t"b*>se facts in their
most damning light without laying
themselves open to suits for libel.
1 have just been talking with a
fiiend of mine on one of the Los
Angeles papers. He would do a
great deal for me—for our company
but with ail the other papers run-
ning the story how ran 1 ask him
to suppress it? Aid what good
would it do if he did? Sheila An-
derson has given a sworn statement
of what occurred to the newspapers.
So ha> Pickering. Mrs. Harmon has
told the reporters to sec her law- i
yers. Mr. Harmon is in hiding
somewhere and refuses to talk. All
those things are true and no news-
paper in the country will hesitate to
publish them. They will be after
you too—will want to prflnt your
story. I wonder they haven’t ap-
proached you already."

WOMEN ARE SPARED
MUCH SUFFERING AND
EXPENSE BY G. F. P.
Women Are Saved From Op-
erations—G. F. I*. Relieves
Quickly Where Other
Methods Which Promise
Relief Fail
The popularity of St. Joseph s G. I
F. 1*. here and throughout the coun- .
try seems to know no bounds be-
cause of the remarkable success it is
having in overcoming and stamping
out the dreaded disease—Catarrh— j
which has been proven to be the
direct cause of most oi women's
ailments.
“1 am not surprised at the rapid
growth in popularity of G. F. T. in
this territorv says the representa-
tive of the discoverers of this medi-
cine. “because it has been received
literally with open arms by thou-
sands of girls and women wherever
it has been introduced.
"I .'^tribute this popularity to the
quick way in which it acts on those
women who are using it” she con-
tinued "because when they see the
amazing way in which it restores
their vitality and strength and the
speed with w-hich it enables them to
pick up in weight nothing can keep
them from praising it and telling
their friends ubout this wonderful
medicine.”
Judging from the many statements
being made public here endorsing
G. F. P. it is a fact that hundreds of
dollars are being saved by the women
who are taking St. Joseph's G. F. P.
Many cases arc known where sug-
gested operations have been found
unnecessary and continued bills for
medical services have been entirely
done a wav with by the timely use of
this wonderful medicine which
seems to invariably succeed in re-
storing health and vitality to those
women who are using it consistent-
ly.— Adv.
