EF EKER SIR RII ICRICICIOICIIIICR IAIN BYNOPSIS Michael vive, $v unmarried, burn and bred In a Birmingham slum, Is now a wealthy motor manufacturer. (ne day he visits the countryside around his old huine and rescues Daphne den from a menacing tramp, He falls in love and proposes. Daphne accepts and introduces him to her father, who greets hin with the words "Get out of here you cur -- you ruined my home -- stole my wife -- curse youl!" Daphne's father dles and she disap pears. Michael explains to her friend Mrs, Gregory that he was misrepre- sented. He buys the old 'I'udor - House owned by the Hamlill-Hardy's. Mrs Gregory promises to mall a letter from him to Daphne arranging a meeting Daphne does not appear, On the way home Mlchael collides with a car driven by Diana Hamlill-Haray. Mrs, Gregory dies. from her solicitors. At the solicitors she Is met by her stepmother. Mrs. Eden notlces an announcement of the engagement of Michel and Dlana Hamill-Hardy. Daphne heart Miss Crick, his secretary, a pale- faced, eagle-eyed young woman plac- ed three roses in a plain glass vase on his desk that morning, and the ~~ unaccustomed tribute secretly pleas- ed him, althought he grunted in her presence and pushed them away. Miss Crick, who knew her boss , smiled when with a sheaf of documents in her hand for typing, she got on the other side of the door. "He's different, Florrie," she said to the other secretary, as she fitted a sheet of paper in her machine. "I said I was sure it wasn't illness only, now I'm certain, I shouldn't be "a bit surprised if the Chief has fal- len in love." : "Get out. Not he," scoffed the other girl. "I don't believe he is the sort of man who'd ever think twice sbout a womai. Dusides, he'd have to eat his own words," and she pat- ted down her carefully waved locks. "Hasn't he preached for years that 'He travels the farthest who travels alone'?"' Remember that, Crickie, my dear." : Miss Crick smiled, said no more, both typewriters clacked away, but in the inner room Michael Borde FIRST, MOTHER Before You Give Your Child an Unknown Remedy to Take Every day. unthinkingly, mothers take the advice of unqualified persons ~-- instead of their doctors' -- on remedies for their children.

"This won't do," he reminded him- self. "Business is business. It won't mix with sentiment." For the roses had reminded him of Lady Trottenleigh, and then by way of her dissertation on rose- growing to Werburge Lucy, and from enough, to Daphne, instead of Diana Hamill Hardy. He frowned. It would not do. Resolutely he placed the little vase on the other side of an engagement diary, resolutely he attacked a sheaf of papers, but now and again their perfume met him, and now and again through his brain there wand- ered some distracting thought. Odd how -they should make think of Daphne again. This would not do. Again he bent his head over business, when a min- ute or two later Miss Crick entered. "There's a . . a person to see vou, Mr, Borde. She called twice be- fore this morning, and she will net state her business. She declares it is something personal. "Fell her to write," he snapped. "I have done so already, Mr. Borde," she answered with dignity "I have: also assured her you see no one without an appointment. 1 don't quite know how to handle her; she seems so certain that you will see her at once if I mention her name." "And what's that?" he snapped. "Miss Eden," answered the girl, and was astonished at the 'effect the words had on Michael Borde, for he sprang to his feet, his face flushed, and his eyes aglow. A short time be- fore he had been adjuring himself to dismiss every. memory of Daphne, now at mention of her name he be- came a new being. . "Of course, of course. Show her in at once, Miss Crick," he said, and the girl went out, her eyebhows uplift- ed. "Yes, he's going to see her," she sgnalled to the other girl, who glanc- ed up from her typewriter. Michael Borde pulled the roses towards him again, and found that his pulses were racing faster. A nice thing for an engaged man to find himself like this at thoujhts of meeting another girl. Daphne .

"Your best cosmeticians realize this fact," he continued. "It explains why many beauty salons not only are giving pedic massages to their cus- tomers before proceeding with facial treatments, but also why they often give sensible advice in regard to the need for properly fitted shoes." Anather well-known authority on foot health, pointed out the necessity for careful bathing of the feet and the value of exercising their muscles regularly. Still another speaker deploréd high heels and urg- ed all women to make sure their shoes really fit. These theories on correct care of the feet were backed up by sound facts based on carefully compiled statistics. In addition, a good many helpful rules on care of the feet were passed out. Here are a few of them: Feet should be scrubbed and rinsed as carefully and frequently as any other part of the body. Cotton and woolen socks absorb more moisture than silk ones and should be worn for active sports and other occasions when the feet per- spire freely. Along with setting up exercises to keep the figure trim and supple every girl should do foot exercises to strengthen her arches and ankles. And she never should wear high heels for walking on those days when she has to stand up for hours at a time. Honey Colour and Flavour Honey varies in colour and flav- our-so that there is no difficulty in finding a honey to suit every taste. On account of this variation of char- acteristics, honey is classified and graded according to its colour and quality. The colour classes most com- monly used as "White," "Golden," "Amber," and "Dark." Colour, how- 'ever, does not affect the food value of honey. From the nutritional stand- point, all colours have equal value, but the flavour of the darker colour- ed honeys is generally much strong- er than the lighter coloured kinds. The quality grades of honey are Nos. 1. 2/ and 8, indicating texture, den- 'sity and flavour. The lighter coloured and highly graded honeys are espec- ially adapted for table use and as a rule are more expensive than the dark or low graded honey, a fact that must be taken into consideration by the buyer when purchasing honey for cooking purposes. The lower grades of honey are equally as good as the higher grades when used as a substitue for sugar in cooking, but when delicate flavours are desired be sure to use light honey. To the bee-keeper who produces honey for his own use, value is of secondary importance, so that in addition to and marmalades, he is in the position of being able to use honey for sugar in cooking with most pleasing re- sults.

(Editor's Note. Have you had your character analysed from your hand- writing? You would find 'it very help- ful to you, and the author of this ar. ticle makes an especial Invitation to you to take advantage of this oppor- tunity. 8ee the following article), My remarks in geome earlier ar- ticles, regarding the extent to which Graphology can help in forming your future, have inspired a number of readers to write and ask for more de- finite information on this point, This seems an opportune time for me to do so, as it is the beginning of a New Year, What you are, and what you do, depend to a large extent on your character. Other things do enter into it, such as education, environment, upbringing, opportunities, and so on --but these are all relative, and can be influenced by one's character, People with suffcient strength of character can overcome all defic fences 'in these other angles, by ap- plying themselves to the task, Take two men, to Illustrate my point. One of them is strong-willed, determined, persistent and persever- ing, He makes up his mind to proceed along certain lines in order to reach a definite peak of progress. He has the strength of character to apply himself and to keep on, even though obstacles present themselves, He may, at times, become a trifle down. hearted, but it is merely a tempor- ary feeling, and he reassures him- self by calling on his self-confidence and by renewing his efforts, ~The other man is indefinite, vacil- lating and weak, He has little or no will-power, cannot make up his mind what he wants to become, nor how to go about the work of getting some- where, He procrastinates--hopes for something to turn. up, but doesn't make the necessary effort to achieve things for himself, Then things turn out badly, or he cannot. see anything in the future to hope for, or to look forward to, he gets dejected, and he starts blaming conditions or lack of opportunity--anything and every. thing but himself. Which of these two men can rea- each case. Send sonably look forward to a better fu- ture? One doesn't need to be a crys- tal.gazer or fortune-teller to con- olude that the first .nan--the one with charcter-wwill improve his po- sition, whilst the other one wil] lose ground, : Now, Graphology, the sclence of Character Reading from Handwrit- ing, can tell your characteristics, It can tell each of the two men whose cases I have quoted, exactly where- in lies his strength and weaknesses. Graphology can encourage each of these men--but in a different way, And it provides the man who i8 weak with knowledge of wherein he needs to strengthen his characteristics, and eliminate weak traits. To the extent that it can help you to make the most of yourselves, and enable you to strengthen your char. acter--to this extent, Graphology can influence YOUR future.

The line, to be sure, only runs a mile, but it has, like any other rail- way system, directors, officers and stockholders, And it is ranked as a regular road, too, the U.S, Bureau of Economics declaring it. "is the shortest railway of which we have any record." KNOWS HER BUSINESS. So it is not an unusual sight to see the young. engineer chugging along in her little locomotive pul- ling its one coach, her hand on the throttle, eyes glued to the tracks, yanking every now and then at the well-worn whistle cord, Commuters haven't a worry when Joyce is at the controls, They say, in fact, that there {is a touch of gentleness about the starting and stopping of the train that seems to be missing when a masculine hand is at the brake controls, But engineering runs in Joyce's family, When tho first locomotive was purchased 'for the line in 1900, her grandfather, John A. Short, was the engineer. That first locomotive bucked like a billy goat and the people had a free show every time it went through town, In 1904 business grew to such pro. portions that a real railway coach was purchased and three years later Joyce's father, Earl Short, became engineer on the line, He died in 1923 Three years ago his daughter, Joyce came to Augusta to make her home with her grandparents, She took an instantaneous liking to the iittle road which had become a!most a family affair, = THe line-~the Auguste Tramway and Transfer Company--has had & colorful past. The distance was first negotiated by mule power, The old mule car is still in existence, and there are plenty of memories about the old coach, with its varnished in. terlor and upholstered seats, RAIROADING HER AMBITION, The fare for the little line is 10 | cents, That fs for the whole mile \ or any fraction thereof. And should you climb into the coach and look out to see that a pretty curly-headed girl is manning the throttle, you needn't have the slightest fear, for Joyce is a real engineer. And railroading is Joyce's ambi- tion in life, "The 'Business Women's Clubs all argue that women have a place in the business world, and why not in the railway world?" asks this trim lass, "Yes, that's what [ want to be ... an engineer," The Poet at Church Robert Burns attended church one Sunday and had difficulty in secur- ing a seat.

Pwo Harvard investigators, Willlam ¥, Wells, graduate of the School of Public Health, and Wyman R. Stone of the School of Engineering, shat. ter this comforting. doctrine with discoveries which will make it neces- sary to re-examine the possibility of transmitting diseates by means of the air. . It was Fluegge who thought he bad "demonstrated, late in the nine. teenth century that infectious drop- lets. fall to the ground. He exposed small dishes containing sterile gela- tine around a cougher and sneezer whose nose and mouth had been fil- led with harmless microbes, Only dishes within a small circle gave any evidence of bacteria colonies after incubation. Hence the easy conclu- sion that coughing, sneezing and talking indoors are not attended with special danger. All this reflects no great credit upon the medical profession. Doctors as a class are bad physicists and not especially good chemists, Any phy. sicist could have told the medicos that minute particles in air are wat- ted about for hours, It was known the salt crystals from evaporated ocea spray can be _ carried inland for fifty miles. CARRIERS OF DISEASE The germs tected at Harvard were sprayed in distilled water into a ster- ile, microbe-tight chamber. Most of the droplets were smaller than &° hundredth of an inch in diameter. They evaporated before they fell to the floor. From samples of air taken from thg chamber at intervals of half an hour to'eight days thriving col. onjes of bacteria were raised that could be seen with the naked eye. The Harvard investigators - make an important distinction between large and small droplets, It is true that large droplets fall; but the small ones (smaller than granulated sugar or sand) dry up, leaving nuc- lel so fing that they are wafted about easily by scarcely' perceptible cur- rents, Some germs thus carried about live for days. Others die in less than an hour. - The utudies indicate that microbes expelled into the air and therefore easily inhaled live longer than those carried by liquids and foods, Have the respiratory germs become adapted to air trans. mission? Is their toughness thus to be explained? Wells thinks 0. At any rate, microbes from the throat and nose live long enough in air to _ transmit disease by inhalation, : The longevity in air of fifteen dif. ferent kinds of germs was tested, Pneumonia, diphtheria, scarlet fever hours, but none of the intestinal or- ganisms more than eight. Strange to say, the least resistant of all was the Pfeiffer bacillus, an exceptional respiratory microbe. It could not be found alive an hour after it had been injected into the chamber. A . pus-forming micro.organism (sta-_ phylococcus aureus) was still alive after three days of wafting about, Women of the East Are Wary of West 'Have"High Concept of Family Life, Says Press Club Head Calgary. -- Fear that features of western civilization might make in- roads on their family life, women of the east are inclined to look ask. ance at their increasing contacts with the west The high concept of family life of the east was one of the deepest Impressions she carried away with her from the Pan-Pacific Women's conferencq, at Honolulu, Mrs. J, F, Price, national president of the Canadian Women's Press Club told members of the Calgary branch, The 50 delegates, representative of 14 racial groups who gathered to- gether at the conference made no attempt "to lift the world out of chaos -by passing resolutions," Mrs, Price declared.
