Cass’ eyes had a faraway look. “It's g hard life,” she said, “and a thankless one. You can est your heart out and starve unless luck is with you. No, you're quite right.

It may be that the family name had something to do with my fondness for this floating device. The “swan boat” was a brightly- painted raft, equipped with benches upon which the youngsters could sit ‘and headed, on either side, by carved and ornamented wooden swans. These would be taken out by a gon- dolier and, for five cents, a ride about the lagoons of the park could be le. Now I see the old rafts lying either at anchor or at the rude docks, slow- ‘ing disintegrating.

On the high- road, half a city block away, motor cars went hurtling through the summer-acented night. Somewhere out there where the lights lay along the shore like jewels in « string, Liane was laughing, dancing. This was for her a night stolen out of all the dull nights, one to be richly remembered. Music throbbing out of the darkness, fine fabrics to touch, servitors. Was this what life meant? Or did it mean working and saving, scrimping to pay the rent, wondering if there would be enough left to buy a winter coat? Cass hardly knew. She fell asleep, presently, beset by the problem. Liane came in at 12 to find her so. “Mother, mother!” she called, kneeling. There was a note of panic in the girl's voice. “Mother, mother!” How white and still Cass seemed lying there with her thin hand doubled under her cheek. Fear clutehed at the heart of the girl. But Cass stirred, woke and smiled dimly. “Had a good time, sweet?” “Oh, marvelous!” Liane breathed. “Muriel said I was silly to rush off like Cinderella but I'd promised you, Aud” (this somewhat shyly), “Mr, Robard drove me home. The rest had gone to the club and—" She stopped short at Cass’ stricken look. “What—what did you say, dar ling? her mother inquired, in a voice that sounded strained, unreal. q “Whe drove yout” “A Mr. Van Bopert Awtully goodlooking.

Honestly you do!” Liaue had dropped to her knees and was rub- bing the cold hand with both her warm young brown ones, “Don? look that way, please! What is it all about? Doe you know him?” “Liane!” Cass sat up, pushing her tumbled hair back from her haggard face. “Promise me—prom- ise me you won't have anything to do with that man. I can't explain.

I do wish you ‘could tell me why you object to him so, but if you can’t, you,can't.” Her troubled eyes caught the flash of hastened to add, “I'll him dead if I pass him on the road, if it will make you happier.” i s : F sEULE EEE age atatete Fess ae ea i i #8 New York, June 29.—New York pol- iticlans, it would seem, have almost fc the dear old mother-and- child appeal in building up what used Well, I can remember when the kick of a lifetime could have been se- cured out of a penny ride on a pony's Judging from Il Duce’s forcible — eee dealings with various affairs, a more - appropriate spelling of might be Muscle-ini.

The action of the heart gradually becomes slower and the rate of the pulse may fall to 40 or 50 instead of the normal rate of from 75 to 85. Associated with this slowing of the heart, the person be- comes pale and his blood pressure may sink to a very low point. The heart rate is not ordinarily affected by quiet breathing, but if one breathes deeply,, the heart rate quickens on inspiration and slows 4p. respiration. ‘These variations ass0- ciated with breathing are presumably also due to changes in the condition of the vagus nerve. It is known that the control of the vagus nerve over the heart rate may be abolished by certain drugs. Quick- ening of the heart rate also occurs in response to various drugs or it may be slowed by the use of various drugs. ‘The rate of the heart is faster when- ever there is fever or whenever the metabolic activities of the body are increased by various causes. Recently the United States Public Health Service investigated the rate of the heart beat in a group of people engaged in office work. Eleven men and 11 women, apparently well, had their heart rates taken every morning for 120 consecutive mornings. The records showed great variations in the heart rate, indeed from six to seven beats per minute; and the rates deviated as much as 10 to 15 beats per minute, without having any particular significance. The fact is important because many people of nervous temperament worry greatly when they detect a slowing or in« crease in the heart rate without hav- ing any clear understanding as to the cause. which is native to New York insofar as I know. There are towns, I believe, where the word “fixer” is used. And an “expediter” is somewhere between a lawyer and a fixer. Recently a witness came before the Seabury committee, now investigating irregularities in New York public of- fice. When asked what his business was, the witness said he was “an expediter.” As a matter of fact, almost every Tammany club has its quota of ex- Pediters. They are go-between gents who expedite matters when friends and loyal members get into trouble. - ** * For instance, if a certain individual is called for jury duty and finds bus- iness matters taking up his time, the district “expediter” will act as an “expediter” and fix everything up. They appear in traffic courts as “friends of the defendants” and take on all sorts of friendly jobs, provided that the offense is not too serious. Recently residents of a certain neighborhood complained that a cer- tain corner was unsafe for the pass- ing of children on their way to school. The usual run of complaints brought no action. Then someone thought of @ friend who was an expediter. With- in a couple of days, a kindly cop ap- peared at the crossing and the chil- dren had instant protection. .

Editor, Tribune: American wets, shocked by the re- fusal of Mayor Porter of Los Angeles to drink in France, ought to know that the mayor is in good company. Pres- ident Doumer of France, also Aris: tide Briand, Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, are total atstainers. So was Joffre. Thousands of other French- men drink only water and yet the average Frenchman drinks not only more wine than any one else.on earth but also more hard liquor. The individual Frenchman drinks more than the individual American ever drank at the’ flood tide of the American drink business before pro- hibition, The average French per capita consumption is 144 quarts of wine, 71 quarts of beer and nearly nine quarts of whiskey a year. That is 61 times our wine consumption be- fore prohibition, (1914), twice as much per capita whiskey consumption we admit the huge claims of the wet organization for drinking in America, we find the French drink 75 per cent more whiskey, 40 times as much wine and three times as much beer per capita as the A.

Further, France has # vast unre- ported traffic in bootleg absinthe, and it drinks the legal, though un- offers easy corruption for French politicians who recruit election support among the trons. Palme wine interests are not only ac- tive in France but they have opened an international office in Paris for political and educational propaganda to prevent the expansion of scientific temperance education throughout the world ,and particularly for the re- peal of the 18th amendment in the United States. The French wine in- terests not only claim but hoace of their success toward undermining the constitution of the United States and our national policy toward liquor. As @ part of their results, they mention the attitude of many prominent American newspapers and the work of well known wet organizations. They report huge sums of money spent for American propaganda. BARBARA H. WYLIE. REPORT ON U. 8. TROOPS On June 30, 1917, General Pershing, on returning to his headquarters in Paris, issued a statement lauding the success of the transportation of the first contingent of American troops to France. The statement read: “The landing of the first American troops has been a complete success. In this remarkable transfer of a large force across the ocean not a man or an animal was lost or injured, and there was not a single case of serious sickness. The men landed in splen- did morale, with keen, confident and eager spirit. “The physical appearance of our men is truly inspiring. They are all fine, husky young fellows, with the glow of energy, good health and physical vigor which will make them @ credit alongside any troops. “They are exceptionally well camped and cared for, with substan- tial wooden barracks, good beds, good food and the best sanitary arrange- ments. They are located on high ground. For all of this we are deeply indebted to French cooperation with members of my staff.” 7° | Atthe Movies | — PARAMOUNT THEATRE In the new Paramount drama, “The Lawyer's Secret,” which opened today at the Paramount Theatre, Charles Rogers forsakes the juvenile role, and with it the light and gay musical parts in which he achieved consider- able success. With assurance and skill, Rogers creates a first rate dra- matic role, cast as a weatlhy ne’er do well who becomes embroiled in a murder and fears to disclose his share of the guilt when,an innocent man is accused of the crime. It is a charac- terization which Rogers makes signi- ficant by this sensitive portrayal, defintely revealing him as a dramatic actor of whom many promising things can be expected. “The Lawyer's Secret” is a well told dramatic story creating high tension- ed suspense, and building to a pow- erful and exciting climax. It is a pic- ture well off the beaten track, dis- tinguished by a number of expert per- formances. a Broadway stage hit, it was discov- ered that women are among the first to applaud “The Front Page,” that fast-moving newspaper thriller which comes to the Capitol Theatre, Mon- day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- Per | day. The unconventjonal love-story wo- ven into this dramatic tale of back- stage newspapering may account, too, for the amazing feminine interest in “The Front Page.” When Hildy John- son, a star reporter, desperately in love with a girl, tries to quit the newagathering “racket” so he can turn “respectable” and settle down, and his managing editor refuses to let him because he is too valuable a reporter, you have situations which appeal to every real human instinct, Torn between aympathy for the girl's impatience with Hildy, and admire- tion for Hildy’s newspaper loyalty, women Legon audience have a fine Put 12 pennies in a circle, as shown ; above.
