There has been some talk about taking the deadlock into the supreme court of the United States, though what procedure will be followed in an action of that nature is out of our range of legal technicalities. Surely, there must be some way out. The bullheadedness of the north Florida senators has reached that stage that calls for drastic action of some kind. The best weapon probably is ridicule.

She couldn’t bear their questions poor old Maud’s vaporing. And then, suddenly, she realized her aloneness. Other people were together, husbands and wives,|. families. They consoled and re- assured each other that this wouldn’t mean war. It would. be a way out as there had been be- fore. Now she knew what she want- ed. She had to see Carey at the sacrifice of her pride and hear him tell her not to be afraid.
