It is not known that Mr. Hoover has had anything to do with that policy. It is not known whether he favors it. Yet President always is blamed for many things. 1 Furthermore, the . prohibition situation has taken an embarrass- ing turn, just as Mr. Hoover is about: to' ' his law enforce- ment com fon. A series of coin- cidences, such as the sinking of the I'M Alone, the killing of a woman in Illinois by a dry raider, the fact that.two Congressmen who have been 'named in alleged efforts to bring liguor through the cus toms, the known hypocrisy of many dry-voting wet-drinking Congress- men, plus the action of Michigan in repealing 'the life for a pint" law, and the Wisconsin referendum which went wet--altogether piles up a cumulative case which Mr. Hoover's Law Enforcement Com- mission will have difficulty in over: looking. © ; It is generally felt in Washing- ton that Hoover will have to face the prohibition issue more square ly than any of his predecessors. However, one favorable sign has appeared here. Mr. and Mrs, E, B. MeLean, social leaders of Wash- ington, have set a precedent by making their Easter Sunday break- fast dry this year. Washington so- ciety never has taken prohibition seriously. When 'the 150 guests, including some of the highest offi- cials of the nation, arrived at the McLean estate and found the party was dry there was amazement. The McLeans are among the first in first rank society here to take Hoo- ver's law enforcement remarks ser- jously. Their example is expected to have a profound effect in bring ing about more general observance of prohibition in Washington so- ciety. In ten days Congress will be back, with at least two major pros blems for Mr. Hoover--farm relief and tariff. Farm relief -has many potential difficulties. Any disap- pointment the farmers feel later will be vented against the Hoover Congress, whether the President actually shapes the impending farm legislation or not. Tariff revision holds difficulties both at home and abroad. It wrecked the Taft avs ministration, and constitutes one of Mr. Hoover's most trying problems Roads In Bad Shape Cobourg--The counties counci) of Northumberland and Durham did not start on their paving pmgran of counties roads any top som, judging from the condition of therbagds dur- ing the past few weeks. fn the Co- bourg-Rice Lake road if spots the roads are impassable for notors, and any that have tried tomake the trip have had to be piled out, Will Cost Abou. $800 Cobourg~--It has bep found ne- cessary by the Town Hil committee to install both the pvlic lavatories in the northwest corn/ of the base- ment of the town hi, and figures have been called for 4 this location.

Beat- rice, her thoughts back on the game, explained seripusly to Hugh's mother. "I bet him a grand bosg yesterday that I could beat him with that handicap." "And I wanted her to bet that she could force me to a four-six er a deuce game, which as it turns ovt, she did," Bert said. "But ghe wouldn't have it that way. So now I've got a grand boss on her!" "Little did I dream," old Mrs. Challoner said--'"little did I dream, when my children started that nonsense about 'bosses,' that it would become a family institu- tion." "I think bosses are the finest things in the world," Beatrice said stoutly. « "Hugh and I have them all the time, don't we Hugh? I got my fox skin on a grand boss." "You mean you lost the boss, and I forced you to get the fox," Hugh said, glancing up from the refractory shoe lace of his white buckskin oxford. "Well, certainly!" "It sounds the other way," he sald, laughing. "I remember when I was little," Minnie White said, her eyes ab- sent, "it 'used to just break my heart when Hugh or Harriet would get a boss on me. We used to make each other do terrible things in those days. I remember once that Hugh made me go and stick out my tongue at Aunt Sarah--"' "Why ig it always a grand boss? What does one do with a little boss? Ours always are grand," Beatrice said. 'Oh, little bosses would he-- well, like answering a telephone or writing a note of excuse or calling for something at the cleaner's. The children used to use them to get the front seat in the car, on a short trip--things like that," Mrs. 'White explained quite seriously. "Here's a funny thing, Mother. Never, in all our childhood--nor since either, for that matter"-- Hugh observed, 'have I known one of us to go back on a boss!" "Oh, that would have been the lowest treason--that would have been unforgivable!" exclaimed Minnie. "We never have either, Mother," a small daughter said, round-eyed and virtuous. "We always play fair with bosses." "It's funny to have Beatrice here talking about bosses," her mother- in-law said. "When Hugh first told me tnat he'd bet me a boss about some- thing, it sounded crazy," Beatrice contributed, looking up from the floor, where she sat propped against the railing, with a smile, "But now I think they are wonder- ful. Only"--she dark look at Bert--" only I hate to lose them, of course. Everyone does." "What are you going to make her do, Bert?" some small cousins demanded with relish. "Qh, I haven't thought yet. But, believe me, it's going to be good," Bert said mysteriously. "Mother," asked Minnie's awk- ward, overgrown, ubiquitous twel- ve-year-old--"Mother, if Bert wanted Bee to kill Hugh, for in- stance, then she wouldn't have to do that, would she?" There was time for several un- easy if almost imperceptible move- ments on the part of the circles be- fore Beatrice's joyous laugh eased the situation. Mrs, Challoner sent a perfectly expressionless glance toward her son, Bert caught his breath on a short laugh, and Min- nie White fixed her youngest-born with a hard, cryptic stare. "Oh, no!" Beatrice said eagerly, innocently, appealing to them all for confirmation.

"I love it!" she said, unashamed, holding her palms up to the blue sky, like a sun worshipper. "I love the feel of these hot rocks, under my bare feet." "Are you going to dive, you coward?" : "Skeered!" she answered. "Well, are you going to try for the raft?" "Oh, the raft--that's nothing, now!" She had seated herself on the hot edge of the pler; the younger members of the family were already splashing about her like dolphins. Her bare feet dang- led in the cool water. "Stay near the rope, idiot!" Bert warned her as suddenly she flung herself off and began to swim strongly toward the float. "I don't ned the rope!" Beatrice wild with the joy of it, called back confidently. Bert swam beside her, watching her, and ready to extead the hand she did not need. In a few minutes she pulled herself float, gasping and laughing de- lightedly. "I love it!" she sail superfluously. "It seems farther out than us- ual this morning," Bert comment- ed. She sat dripping, deliciously cold, getting her breath, staring appreciatively at the exquisite dreaming hot morning--the blue sky, the lake so blue in the sun. shine, so softly green here in the shadows; the pine forests stretch. ing away on the sloping shores, aad the occasional white dip of a sail down toward the southwest, where the hotel was, Oh, what a heavenly, what a cloudless life!

Beatrice asked, {ir surprise, after a moment. "Oh, nothing!" he sald. *D¢ you realize that you have had sg very definite effect on my des- tiny?" the man began again pres. ently, in an! idle sort of voice. "Oh, how do you mean?" she asked, widening her eyes as they met his. "You've made me--" Bert low- ered his voice. He was lying on his elbow, his splendid young body stretched fin the sun, the light bright on his sunshiny chestoui pair. He looked down, and moved a forefinger slowly on the dried painted canvas of the float, drag- ging a drop of water Into circles and lines. "You've made me wani to amount to something--and you've made me an American," hi said, a little huskily. Beatrice looked at him, faintly puzzled, entirely sympathetic. "How do you mean, Bert?" she asked again. "Well, I'd lived away from Am. erica a little too long," he said. "Do you mean that you really wante to live here now?" "Yes. I want to live in North Underhill now," he said, lookirs up. If there was any significance ir his level tone, she missed it. "You're happy--with the At. lantic Electric?" she asked, in sat. isfaction, "Not very," he answered dis. appointedly. ""Oh Bert, why not?" "Wrallit's nat an thrilling e family business--Granny wants e to, anyway," he said. Beatrice considered this mater- fis day, maybe, I'll go back into nally. . "Keep at it, with the Atlantle, or a year or two," she suggested, {'and then go back; all the more valuable." "You little know what my alleg- ance to you costs me," Bert said ryly, as she continued to look way from him toward the blue istances of the lake and said noth- ng more. "To me? To your father, you mean," Beatrice answered absent- y. "You know, for a rich woman's on, Hugh is really quite extraord- nary," she presently added, with nimation, "He is so mormal, ugh, He went through college; e won the Drew Scholarship In rchitecture; he told your mother hat if she wotuld give him one ear in Paris he'd take care of imself the second year; he did verything exactly as he said he ould!" * she exulted innocently. of course, he's he firm!" she ended, spreading out her hands in her own characte. ristic gesture of explanation, "Exactly."
