Through It and a great tunnel, at an elevation of 9,843 feet above sea level, passes the transcontinental railroad Buenos Aires and Valparaiso. All this made the busy years of growth seem filled with the sense of creating the setting for the kind of life they wished to live. . As Mary's friends put it, she worked like a stage designer, bent on accomplishing the proper dramatic setting for their background. With the country place called Wildmere, she achieved it. Oil the outskirts of town, adjoining the most select country club In the state, representing an actual outlay of several hundred thousand dollars and giving the effect of having cost much more, the beautiful home of Mary and Nllee reared its turreted head. It gave you a sense of repose just to enter these doors, to sink Into Its restful chairs and divans, to look out over Its meticulous expanses of garden and terrace, to browse In Its libraries, relax" in Its music room, stretch gut jup Its luxurious sleeping suites. Th* home was finished. Well, for another year or two, was the pastime, the excitement, and always the pleasure, of bringing into this home the friends and acquaintances who would exclaim at its perfection and revel In Its comfort. It was a source of perennial thrill to walk with them through the beautiful avenue of poplar trees, the geometric perfections of the sunken gardens and point out to them the vistas and scenic delights from almost every window. Then one day, something seemed to drop like a lead plummet to the bottom of Mary's being. Now that' the house was finished, what next? What then? There were the usual dlvertisements. Cards. Friends. Theaters. Travel. No children of her own, but a deep-seated Interest In a local child welfare charity to which she gave time and thought. There were apparently as many Interests as there had ever been. No particular reason, so far as casual diagnosis could make out, why suddenly and completely the sense of finish had written itself across all of Mary's life. For a year, with this crack across her being, but with no ostensible letdowri, life moved along at Wildmere. Consultations with gardeners, motor troubles, week-end parties, dinners to clients of Niles, tours of Inspection with admiring guests through the grounds and then gradually even Niles began to notice. "What's the matter, Mary? Fagged? Look is if you might need a trip or change."

"All right, try • trip or change.* Three months in England, browsing •bout among the shops for ideas for a certain addition of a Tudor snite she had in mind, then a bit of Basque country, and home by way of Naples and the Mediterranean. But strangely enough, the home-coming of a Mary a little more lusterless and a little more difficult to bestir out of her lethargy than the Mary who had gone hunting .divertisement -three months before. "Matter, Mary?" It was not easy to tell Niles the matter. That is, it was not even easy to attempt to tell him. There were sot the words to convey* to him what he could not understand. Better to wait. Better to try somehow, gome way, to jerk out of this leaden agony that was gripping her more and more. Another year then of the week-end parties, the personally conducted tours through the grounds, the adding here and there to the perfection of the es- • tablishment. "What in heaven's name ts over yon these days, Mary? You haven't been yourself in months." Well, here she was trying to tell the untenable. Somehow it had to be told--it had to be t o l d . . . . & 'We're eo finished, NUes.*t 'Meaning what?" "You. Me." ^ '• "Howr " "Oh, I don't ing we are expectant about. You take m® for granted.

Just husband taking • wife for granted ; wife taking hUsband. Stale. I need something to do. I want a spontaneous compliment from a spontaneous Impulse to rpay one. I want the Impulse to say complimentary things to my husband and I haven't that impulse any more than he has. iTou're a failure as a husband to me, Niles. I'm a failure as a wife, to you. We've gone al?>ng on the momentum of inanimate things, and now that we have finished with them, we've nothing left." * "I don't know jroafrft talking about." "You wouldn't" „ i; L \ "You mean--" , '" „ "I mfeap, I'm dlssKtisftWf fWfes. Horribly. Irrevocably. I'm finished here. I'm bored. There isn't enough between us. We're polite boarders under the same roof. Life Is swift, life is passing, and we're missing it." "I don't know what you mean." **I know you don't, or I wouldn't be saying what I'm saying." "Take a trip." This Mary did, but it was a trip which struck incredulity and amaze-, ment Jnto the heart of Niles. - "I- need to be free, Niles. I capnot regard my life ag the snug completed thing it seems to be with you. Emotionally, we are finished; materially we can only be repetitious. I need to be fed, stirred, moved intellectually and inspired to do." "I don't know what you mean." '1 know you don't, Niles." That was four years ago. The new Mary lives in a three-room farm house in Connecticut that she had constructed out of an old barn. She is married to a student of bee culture. Everywhere throughout the simple and sparsely furnished household is evidence of the study of this intricate and subtle form of life, to which they both devote their days. Some day, Mary hopes to find tiirte to "furnish their home in a quaint and charming manner. But in the meanwhile the days are too crowded, too. busy, too happy. PPfSPP' 5 .'WashingUM --Bjr-- Natfeaal Editorial Associativa Jackals Described at * "Foxes" in Scripture The ancient Roman writer Ovid let us know that it was not an uncommon thing to fasten firebrands to foxes' tails to do damage in an enemy's country and that at one of the state festivals it was a custom to tie a number of foxes together by their tails, affix firebrands among them and let them run wild. This was apparently a well-known trick in olden times and is referred to in Judges 15:4, where we read that Samson incensed against the Philistines, tlte most warlike and most greatly dreaded of the enemies of the Israelites in the early days of their settlement in the Land of Promise--"went and caught three hundred foxes and took firebrands and turned tall to tall and put a firebrand In the midst between two tails, and when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines and burnt up both the shocks and also the standing corn with the vineyards and olives." Now, even In those early days it would have been a tremendous task for even the clever Samson to catch .three hundred specimens of the> fox, <ivliich has always been a solitary hunter. But jackals traveled then as now in large packs and by pits or cleverly constructed driveways into enclosures it would not have been a very trying task to take three hundred of them alive. And so In this passage we shall almost certainly be right in reading "three hundred jackals," Instead of foxes, as a marginal reading of the authorized version of the Bible suggests.-- Montreal Herald.

There is; no doubt that this melancholy scene of marching zealots demanding relief has cast a spell over the legislative body. The parleys with the bonus expeditionary force have been decidedly awkward to the Senators and Representatives. It is renerally recognized that the Public Treasury is not in a position to absorb khe two billions asked for a bonus. Sympathy is a shifting anchorage for political mariners. Promises of votes for th® bonus without an actual test may bring troublesome explanation* ;n their home districts thin falL The various relief measures now »nding in Congress are handled gingerly as a lighted bomb. In extending government aid to the unemployed it <s claimed by the more deliberative minds her© that consideration has Seen given to all factors with the <«ngle exception of the taxpayer. It is proposed* to appropriate two billions from a Federal Pocket-book that is empty and yawning with tremendous deficit. The trend is to authorize a bond issue which will bear accumulated interest amounting to twenty million dollars as a means of financing the relief projects in the Wagner and Garner bills. The final draft will show a relief mechanism, the cost of which mast eventually be bome by the taxpayer. It is contended that states and municipalities must revise their tax methods to telieve the local taxpayer of many burdens. The Republican National Convention did not draw heavily from the official population here, largely because of the Congressional session. Then it was conceded that the meeting was nothing more than a repetition of the 1924 convention in Cleveland, which was aptly called a "ratification meeting". The squabble at Chicago, this week hinged around the planks in the party platform and privately on ways and means to meet campaign expenses. The critical eyes of the Democrats ar© trained on the Windy City spectacle in order to determine partisan strategy in winning the voters. With the new Internal Revenue bill becoming operative next week it is interesting to note that the cost of collecting taxes has increased. Prior to the World War the collection of taxes cost $1.80 for every $100.00 collected. The lowest cost was in the fiscal year 1918 when It only required S3 cents to collect $100.00 from the taxpayers. That low cost was due to the sharp increase in revenue and to the fact that the personnel of the tax bureau had not been increased to any extent. The cost of collecting $100.00 in taxes in 1931 was $1.40. One of the arguments made in favor of the sales tax was that it could be gathered into the Public Treasury at a lower cost. The first definite reaction against the tax law isj expected within a month. Ordinarily the public sentiment would not crystallize until next March when income returns are due. The payment of direct Federal taxes for gasoline and oil will strike millions of automobile drivers each day; consumers of electrical energy will notice the tax item on their monthly statements, as will users of telephones. It is expected that the tax on checks of two Cents each will curtail the "fre© and easy method of paying bills OT a means of evasion found which will reduce the tax. It is estimated that the automobile industry will defray 25 peT cent of the total new levy as taxes are imposed on passenger cars, trucks, tires, accessories and gas. The tax on postage matter becomes effective July 1 and 6, a revenue item that goes direct to the average citizen. Jesse P. Wolcott is serving his first term in Congress and wants the world to know that he is provincial in his tastes. Other legislators may consider national affairs and even international, but not Mr. Wolcott from Michigan. "My Congressional district includes a large sugar-beet area interested both in the production of sugar beets and the refining of beet sugar", Mr. Wolcott told the House last week. And, delving into history for comparisons the newcomer declared "Like Cato before the Roman Senate, urging the destruction of Carthage, every speech I make will be replete with entreaties for a safeguard to our sugar industry". One industry is assured cf a faithful spokesman in Congress. ••j Worlds Largest The fish aquaria of tb« United' States bureau of fisheries, just opened to the public, consist of 40 tanks.
