“We believe we have the very
best.” He is talking about their
concrete streets.
And Vernon has reason to be
proud of its streets. Main Street,
was concrete paved in 1913.
Twelve years have fully demon-
strated the economy and durabil-
ity of concrete. The maintenance
cost has been negligible. Any tax-
payer in Vernon will tell you that
this pavement has paid handsome
dividends in satisfaction and
service.
Concrete pavement meets the
challenge of twentieth century
traffic. It is a safe pavement be-
cause it is skidproof. And it is
cheapest in the long run because
it costs least to maintain.
If you keep these facts in mind,
you will make certain that your
streets are paved with portland
cement concrete.

A WRONG has been done to Italy. It is unjust to regard
m the land of the stiletto as the classical country in the
matter of murders. The crown doesn’t belong there. Our
own America is the world’s champion murderer..
Your chances of being murdered as you walk down the
street are not so small. The rate of slayings in the United
States last year was a little better than one in ten thousand,
according to insurance statistics. That is twice as high
as the rate in Italy.
There was a day when a murder was a national event. It
received notice in nearly every newspaper in the country.
Now, with 12,000 killings a year, murders have become so
numerous that only local slayings obtain much space in
the papers.
One one-thousandth of our people, your neighbors and
mine, went the way of the “red rage,” the knife, the pistol
and the poison vial in 1925. The odds are becoming too
great.
It’s no news if a dog bite a man, but it is if a man bite

don Bennett, a former famous New York editor. We are
coming to the place where the newspaper story of a whole
day without a murder will be a big scoop in America.;

Editor, The Austin Statesman:
Gentlemen:
In this morning’s issue of the
Dallas News I notice that all in-
surance agencies in Texas unani-
mously deny having an agreement
with reference to commissions to
be paid agents. Well, if the com-
missioner of insurance will investi-
gate the Dallas situation he will
find that with a few exceptions the
local agencies have an iron bound
agreement with reference to com-
missions paid brokers. A number
of brokers wil ltestify as to this,
if the commission wants evidence.
Yours very truly,

rHE New Republic has recently added to the already long
list of educational tests a general information test, sub-
mitted to 100 students in a large university. The result
was not alarming, though amusing to the cynic.
All the 100 knew who Napoleon was, but only five knew
who Plato was. There were contrasts different to explain.
Why should 95 know about Michael Angelo and only 38
know about Bernard Shaw? Because of the Scope’s trial,
72 knew acturately about Darwin. Ninety-seven knew who
wrote "Paradise Lost," and only eight knew who wrote the
“Inferno." None of them had ever read them both.
Cromwell was said to be a “prohibitionist.” The Pantheon
was a Chicago movie house. Edison’s greatness consisted
of his feat of sleeping only a few hours. Carlyle was a man
who lectured to a woman’s club about a year ago. The
Yosemite is in North Carolina. Martin Luther was a
botanist.
The best score was made by a student of-Slavic descent.
The next by a Russian. The highest grade by a native
American was 89 per cent.
In commenting on this test of the New Republig-the New
York World suggests that the ease with which Americans
get through life, taking things easy, is responsible for their
lack of application to erudite learning.
These tests are miscalled educational tests. They are
rather tests of the field of interest of the human mind.
The most scholarly professor in our greatest university’
would show just as foolish conclusions if they were tested
by questions pertaining to the field of merchandising, or
auto manufacturing or farming. There is no justice in
calling college life a failure because the youth does not
have a knowledge of individuals in fields of interest re-
mote from the individual’s own interest.
This is a day of specialization in education. The engineer
often has very limited knowledge of literature and vice
versa. The real test of education is whether the mind has
learned to attack properly a problem and logically arrive
at a sound conclusion.
The war made much of so-called intelligence tests, but
their vale has been over-emphasized. A new set in needed
if we are to arrive at accurate conclusions concerning the
value of education to the individual in his fight for
supremacy in modern civilization.
. The tests should be so framed as to bring out qualities
of presistence in the face of difficulties, ability to extricate
oneself from’entangled environment, the tact to handle
other people and get the best out of them, and most of all
the habit of thinking logically to a desired end.
Education after all should do this for the individual. .It
should enable him to adjust himself wisely and quickly to
any new environment in which he may find himself thrust.

a private home on a Long Island

floor was of - green translucent

stantly flowed. The walls and

The tub was chiseled out of solid
marble. One push button auto-
matically started an old fashioned
music box hidden in the wall. An-
other button automatically sprayed
the water with a delicate scent and
still another released artificial sun
rays for the drying process.

“What If Handle was going to
run away that night, and should
never, never come back again’
There was nothing she could do,
except wait and wonder—wonder.
Her mind traveled back to the
moment when Sir Hugh had come
ino Handle's “den.”
He had been ery angry— not at
her, but at someone. She thought
that'Someone must have been San-
die. Perhaps he had met Handle
and Lord Derek together just out-
side the door of the “den,” in the
haH. Yes, that must have been it.
Sandie had said that Hugh didn t
“admire” Derry. Maybe it was
worse than that. Maybe he didn
like that big, dark man at all. And
of course, he couldn't help knowing
that they had just come out of the
“den.” Sandie received all her
friends there, never in the great
drawing room, except when she
gave big parties. Oh, what had
happened in the hall to make Sir
Hugh look as he had looked, to
make Sandie—gay, talkative Handl©
—look as she had looked during that
dead moment of silence at the nur-
sery door?

CHAPTER NINE
Somehow, until today, when he
had come upon her reading Shakes-
peare* in the library, th© man had
never thought of his child as an
individual. She was a pretty little,
yellow-headed thing, tho, image of
.her lovely, disappointing mother,
who had broken his best ideals and
made him believe all beautiful
women frivolous.
’ He had never seen- her except in
tho nursery, and though she was
docile, evidently well brought up so
far as manners were concerned, she
had seemed to have little initiative,!
no warm, impulsive affections. Just.;
those few minutes, those few words
and looks over tho book in the li-
brary, however, had given him a
new point of view'. Here was a
young SOUL, starving for love and
all kinds of -enlightenment. This
wasn’t the environment for her!
Ffrench didn’t know much about
children's nurseries, but he had a
vague impression that they ought to
bo gay, bright, big rooms, with
clean, distempered walls and per-
haps dados of pictures—animals or
fairies—to please childish imagina-
tions. There ought to bo painted
furniture, and gay chintz. With
flowers or .fruit, and lots and lots
of toys.
This nursery had just been made
over from a bedroom, and not very
much made over at that. There
was an uninteresting, Victorian
sort of paper on the walls whose
only merit was that it looked ex-
pensive. The carpet was in shades
of brown, with tiresome roses on it,
and there were very few toys—
just a family of dolls that might
have been chosen by nurse, and
some mechanical things which.
Ffrench feared, had been his own
Christmas presents to Fay, ordered
haphazard, with as little trouble to
himself as possible. This should be
changed! Another Christmas was
coming in two months. It should
be such a Christmas as this child
had perhaps never dreamed of!
Nurse, so she said, had just been
about to look for Miss Fay, and
bring her in for tea. It was very
kind of Sir Hugh to fetch the child.
Nurse hoped she hadn’t been
naughty or troublesome? She was
generally allowed to run about the
house a little, following her walk
and her afternoon nap.
Hugh, studying the woman's hard
face, selfish eyes, and somewhat
cruel nostrils, reproached himself
for having left important things in
Sandia’s hands.- those careless little
hands! so Jong. Ho answered po-
litely, and then informed Mrs. Mc-
Clellan (nurse’s name was McClel-
lan) that he would like to speak
with her outside in the hall for a
moment. Fay’s, heart hammered
against her little side when the two
left her alone with the dull-faced
dolls which she had never greatly
loved. Would nurse go into one of
those sullen, fierce “taritrums” of
hers (as the servants called them),
or would she burst out crying? Oh,
the child dreaded to have her come
back!
While Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of
Monticello, Ill., a practicing physi-
sian for 47 years, knew that con-
stipation was the curse of advanc-
ing age, he did not believe that a
“purge” or “physic” every little
while was necessary.
To him, it seemed cruel that so
many constipated old people had to
be kept constantly “stirred up” and
half sick by taking cathartic pills,
tablets, salts, calomel and nasty
oils.
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
he discovered a laxative which
helps to “regulate” the bowels of
old folks. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin not only causes a gentle,
easy bowel movement but each dose
THE LEADING CHARACTERS
Sir Hugh Ffrench, wealthy English no-
bleman who realises that ths widening
rift between himself and hi« beautiful
American wife, Sandie, is due to two
causes. First, Sir Hugh yiews with dis-
favor her penchant for seemingly harm-
ku flirtation* and secondiy, her callous
treatment 'except on rare occasions, of
their seven-year-old daughter. Fay, which
irritates him tremendously. When Sir
Hugh announces that he personally is g0-
ing to take the matter of the child’s up-
bringing in his own hands and secure •
governess “who is by way of being lady”
Sandie. is beside herself with rage and
confides in Derek Leavenworth, a sleek
lady's man, who pours the oil of seductive
flattery on the waters of her domestic
troubles. Calming her, he even suggests
that Sir Hugh has a slnister purpose in
mind by introducing another woman in
his own household—and hints that Sandie
could do worse than fly away from the
situation with himself. The former tem-
porises with the suggestion by bidding her
admirer goodbye until later in the eve-
ning when she promises-to see him at a
dance. Little does Sandie realise that her
daughter has been a witness to her talk
with Derek—by being accidently "caught""
in her mother’s room and then hiding
herself on a window seat screened by
curtains. Emerging from the den the
child is confronted by her father who
learns of her eavesdropping and vainly
seeks to discover the nature of the con-
versation. Sir Hugh realises his mistake
in time to apologise. Fay then telL him
she couldn't tattle even though she wasn't
afraid of his boxing her ears. Her father
ridicules the idea, informs Fay of the ex-
pected arrival of a new governess, and
carries her to her room.

By and by she did come back,
but Sir Hugh was with her. He
stayed, and was introduced, some-
what languidly, to the dolls. By
the time he had to go—doubtless to
dress for that “boring political din-
ner” Sandie had told» Lord Derek
about—nurse had had tim to re-
cover her balance, in case she had
lost it. The child clung to her fa-
ther for a moment at parting, with
a dread of what might bo in store
for her alter ho was out of the way.
But hb Aiust have “put the fear of
tho lorc‛ into nurse, to quote her
own wokds used sometimes to her
charge. The dour woman was dour,
as always, but there were no pinch-
ings, no slappings, no shakings.
She did not even tell Fay that any-
thing unusual had happened: but
perhaps some word would have es-
caped the trap of those thin lips
if Sandie had not thrown open the
door while the little girl was being
undressed for bed.
This was an unexpected honour,
a surprise vision. Never, Fay
thought, had she seen the Princess
look so like a fairy Princess. She
glittered from head to foot, from
diamond wings in her gold hair to
buckles of briltiants on her high-
l- led silver shoes. But she spoke
not a word. She didn’t seem to hear
nurse’s “Good evening, my lady.”
She merely gazed at the half un-
dressed child for a moment, her
eyes very big and bright, her color
coming and going. Then, throwing
up both hands in a puzzling ges-
ture. she shrugged her shoulders,
turned and went out. - ,
Fay expected nurse to remark
