The significance of Gov. Smith’s action | was well outlined in his statement or memorandum that. went with the signing of the Mullan-Gage act. Of course the Volstead act is still operative in New York and each and every law officer is under oath to entorce that j measure whether he belongs to the state or the federal | regime. The chief significance of the whole official act 1s to place the trial of offenders against the Volstead Act ip the federal rather than in state courts. It removes the possibility of a man being tried or punished twice for the} same offense. Governor Smith in his statement declared against the saloon and urged especially upon every official to cooperate | with federal authorities and upon their own initiative to see that the federal law, which of course is the law of every | state too, is rigidly enforced. | Tt would seem that the wets are placing too much signi- | ficance upon the signing of the repeal measure. New York} cannot now manufacture or distribute beer and light wines! any more than before the law was passed repealing the state’s | dry act. What the prohibitionists: fear, however, is that the re- fusal of New York’s chief executive to countenance a special state dry ‘act, will mean lax enforcement on the part of the state offic » a tendency to shift the burden to federal officers in the absence of any specific state laws on the en- forcement of prohibition. | Enthusiastic wets even now are heralding Gov.

Even if a more advantageous deal could be made without bids, it is as a general rule advisable from the stand- point of public officials and the public to act upon bids which ! give all bidders an equal opportunity. 2 ‘ EXPLOSIONS Nearly 432 million pounds of explosives were sold in our country during 1922, the Bureau of Mines announces, For industrial uses, such as coal mining.

The average Chinese pays only 60 cents a year taxes, in: our money, which compares with $60 a head in our country for national taxation alone. Still, day labor in China gets only 15 cents a day.

THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1923 BEGIN HERE TODAY Calvin Gray comes to Dallas, home of Colonel Henry © Nelson, banker. Gray threatens to break Nelson financially because of an enmity ex- isting between the two men. Gus Briskow strikes off and asks Gray to help the family tide over the rough spots. Allie, the daughter, is tin love with Gray. Bud, the son, |runs away from school. Gray fol- lows to bring Bud home and finds the boy in the hands of an adven-! | turess. Bud resents interference and Gray and he fight until Bud is ‘knocked unconscious. y and an associate, Mallow, bring the son of ‘the adventuress to Bud's hotel. NOW GO ON WITH STORY The youngster.~a boy of indeter- minate age, advanced and shooki hands. There was no mistaking him; he was Margie Fulton's son in size, in coloring, in features. “I told Bennie you could use a bright kid about his age. And he's bright.” It required no clever analysis o the lad to convince Gray that he was indeed bright, as bright—and as hard likable face, or it would have been likable had it been in reposi as twitching now and Gray , with 4 smile, “Go ahead and laugh son.” | The-urchin’s lips parted in'a wide, grin, and he spoke for the first time! “Did the Germans do ‘that?” The effect of his voice was startling for it was deep and husky; it was the older man's turn to be astonished, “He could pass for fifteen on the street,” Mallow said. “but- when he talks T chalk him down for t! irty- , fiv How old are you Ben?” ‘eventeen.

You don't in Gray sighed; he stepped door, opened it and called, “Come in, both of you.” Arline Montague’s shoulders ceased to shake, she lifted her blond head alertly. Then she uttered a breathless exclamation, Buddy meanwhile, had been sfer ing at the door, and he was surpuivod when instead of his family he saw _ entering a strange ma doa hoy small of stature but old of face, a boy insouciant, impudent, swagyer- ing. It was this boy who spoke first, “Hello, momma!” he cried. At sound of that voice Buddy re- coiled for it was deeper than bis no doubt ludicrous, urchin's lively eyes leaped to Mis face and remained there, while a any j erin spread over his features. “Hully Gee!” rumbled the lad, “Here’s another one that ought to be buried!” “Mrs. Fulton"—it was Gray spe ing “I took the liberty of asking your son—" Buddy Briskow heard‘no more for his ears wgre roaring. Her son! That voice! Being little more than a boy himself, nothing could have hurt him more cruelly than this; his impulse was to flee the room for j his world had come down in crash- ing ruin, She had lied! She had made a fool of him. Gray had been right. The others were still talking when ; Buddy broke in faintly. His gbat- ‘tered visage was white, his lips Sere \colerless. “I reckon this—ends my part of the entertainment,” said he. Slowly he seated himself and bowed his head in his hands, for he had become quite ill, Arline Montague—Margie Fulton —once the blow had fallen, behagind rather well; she took Bennie in arms and kissed him, then in answe to his qui look of dismay at her agitation, she patted him on the shoulder and : “It's all right, son. ‘You didn’t know. : Didn't know what?” demanded the lad. " He stared angril from one face to another. “It is plant?” “Take my key, Here!" The mother thrust her room key into the boy's hand. “Run along. I'll see you in a few minutes.” To Mallow she “Take Yim out, please. You brought him.” Mallow, flushing uncomfortably took Bennie by the wrist and drag- ‘ged him to the door. Margie turned to Briskow, but in his attitude, his averted gaze, she {read the doom of her hopes. One final chance remained, however, and desperately she snatched pees “Buddy!” she cried. “Budd: Her voice was was poignant as she plead- ed. “I couldn't tell you the truth, I wanted to—I laid awake nights try- ing to get the courage but I was afraid you wouldn't understand, I'd have told you the whole thing if you'd ever given me the chance. You know I've been married; does it make so much difference that I have a son?” When the object of hé appeal only stirred, she wen! on, reproachfully; “Are you going & al- low this—this man to—come be- tween us? “I wouldn't believe you now if—” Buddy choked. “I'm through!” “You mean that?” The young fel- low nodded. ‘Very well!” Some- thing in the tone of the last wprds, same accenb of dpapesstion, chised Buddy to raise his head. He was in time to see Margie fumble with her purse and extract something there- from; to Buddy's eyes it resembled a bottle. “There is no use fighting any more. You have ruined by life.” ‘My God!” young Briskow yelled, in dismay. “Don’t do that! Stop her!” He leaped to his feet and lunged-for the poison vial which was trembling upon Arline’s lips. G: too, had been galvanized into actio} but of an unexpected nature; hl grappled with Buddy and held him. “Nonsense! Water won't. hurt her; and that's all it is. She's known as ‘the Suicide Blond,’ "Gray explain: ed. “Say! You're bursting with in- formation, aren’t you?” It was Miss Montague, tottering upon the brink of the grave, who voiced this ex- plosive inquiry. Her drooping shoul- ders straightened she. raised her head and flung the empty bottle vio- lently from her. With head erect and with firm tread she moved ta the door; she turned there and blazed forth in bitter scorn, her’ bobbed curls shaking as she spoke: “Take that selling plater back to the car barn, where he belongs. I’m off boobs for life.” .The door slammed to behind the diminutive fury, and Gray sank feebly iWto a chair. He was laigh- ing silently. ) (Continued in Our Next Issue)’ STOP BACKACHE, KIDNEY TROU- BLE Hacbache, Rheumatic Pains, dull eadache, tired feeling, too frequent urination, discolored or strong odor ate symptoms of kidney and bla i: trouble. .“I) was always having backaehe which caused me great suffering,” writes Mrs. Feber, Med- ford, Mass. “Could not sleep and at times I could not stand straight.
