WANT to be a doctor,” per- sisted James unhappily. It was hard for him to qppose any one and especially’ the judge. “I think my ... my father would have liked me to be a doctor,” he added gulping from sheer nervousness. “] am sure there could be no ca- reer more pleasing both to your own father and our Heavenly Father than healing the sick and suffering,” broke in Miss Sarah, “and while the law in my father's day was an honorable profession for honorable 'gentlemen it seems to me to be rapidly de- terforating—if one can believe what one hears. “Nonsense!” roared . the judge. “Even a nincompoop would know that it i not the profession which has deteriorated, but the caliber of the men going into l;u:_se your brain, ‘woman, use your brain.” “Can't you realize that James would be s thousand times more use- ful uphoiding the honorable tradi- tions of the law, which is the founda- tion of our country and of all the freedom we boast, than in going dlbgut peering at people’s tongues and de- ciding whether they had better take castor oll or ipecac?” The judge had long been famous in New Concord for “not being a po- lite talker,” but Miss Sarah was bit- terly offended, not so much as his ref- erence to & nincompoop as by the mention of castor oil. ‘m:huddered in a ladylike way, drew herself up and pointedly changed the subject and although the Jjudge stormed and protested he knew that his cause was lost and persisted not because his heart was in it, but as & matter of principle. He grumbled all the way home and avolded James for days afterward, to his own distress as well as the [ s. w‘{‘he judge had never been a patient man or reasonable or he might have reffected that James had four years of college before he could begin his study of medicine and that in that time many things might occur to| change his determination. | As it turned out something very | important happened that very Sum- | mer. James was destined never to| go to college or to learn to “cut ‘em | up quickly,” as Aunt Lou put it. Strange to say, it was Miss Sarah and not the judge who brought this about. Miss Sarah had been her father’s secretary during the last years of his life and in his fondness the Governor had grown to believe that his daugh- ter showed an unusual aptitude to- ward the management of his affairs. Therefore, just before he died he his will and not only made her James’ sole guardian, but left her in full control of their joint estates until James was 25. Miss Sarah, unfortunately, had few things to interest her after James went off to school and she quite fancied herself in. the role of & busi- ness woman. Judge Holcomb, how- ever, waved aside her judgments and comments on investments as of no value whatsoever, until after a little she ceased to consult him. She was especially triumphant and sure of her own acuteness after she had, against the judge's advice, in- vested $10,000 in Oregon prune lands this land six months later cent profit. tasted blood, Miss Sarah was no longer satisfied with a meager 5 cent on her money. In she found & sympathetic assured her that her business matters was as easy as rolling off a log to double ' ital provided one had the apitude and courage. Sarah, easily convinced that both, sold her good farm gilt-edged bonds and invested largely in Western fruit lands, in Rhode Island railroad stock and in Mexican oil. James, whom she oonsulted after promise of se- crecy, was fired with his aunt’s enthusiasm and thought it would be & fine thing to become a millionaire. ‘They spent many happy evenings that early Summer planning their in- vestments and spending the money which was to come to them in such unlimited quantities. The story of Miss Sarah’s invest- ments is neither a long nor an un- ususl one.

She urged James to agree to sell the Stim- son place and take the money for his education. This her nephew steadfastly de- clined to do. They would have to sell the carriage horses and let Black Tom and Sally the cook go, but be- fore long he would be earning some- thing and they would manage some way. Aunt Lou was as good a cook as Sally. Sally could get a place over- night and it was more than time that Tom retired and enjoyed the pension the Governor had left him. Judge Holcomb, against his better judgment and although he had a widowed sister and her family to sup- port, sent for James to come to his office and offered, if James' heart was set on it, to put the boy through medical college. His relief was bound- less when James thanked him grate- fully and declined. > “Well, then, what are you going to do? Have you made any plans?” asked the Judge. “I found when I thought it over that I'd rather be a lawyer than a doctor,” James explained a little dif- fidently.

By the Associated Press. ‘The distilled spirits industry entered s new phase yesterday as the Fed- eral Alcohol Control Administration announced sbandonment of restric- tions attempting to hold production to anticipated consumption. Director Joseph H. Choate, jr., an- nounced the President on April § had signed three amendments to the dis- tilled spirits code which lift restric- tions on new permits. The original limits, Choate said, were written into the code “to keep out of the industry in its early stages an anticipated swarm of speculators, seeking quick and easy profits.” Warning that “ability and experi- ence” in the distillery business was necessary, Choate said “an undue in- crease in the size of the industry” was not anticipated. Under the new rules, plants used for whiskies, rum, alcohol or gin must be able to produce 20 50-gallon barrels of proof spirits a day. This minimum does not apply to present permit holders nor to plants used solely for brandy, rum and other distilled spirits. The minimum production of 1,000 gallons a day in new plants, Choate said, “was introduced at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury in order to facilitate the collection of taxes and the administration of of the Treasury De- by Woodward District 4400 Sleek and Shining The Aristocrat of Straws She feels well dressed . . .
