“Da n, go upstairs and wash yourself.® READ THIS FIRST: 8hut within the doors of every | home there is the warm and glow- +ing story of & mother's incompar- able love. Mrs. Milburn had come to the Little Yellow House, on Flower street, owned by Uncle Bill | Parks, twenty-five years before, when she and Charlie Milburn were married. Through all these yc they had only known poverty. M Milburn had kept everything neat and looked after her three children, Emmy, eighteen; Da Perry, twenty-one. While the little yollow house, on the ugly strect] mear the mill, was now sooty. and | :begrimed, it had necver lost its charm for Mrs. Milburn, ‘opens on Mrs. Milburn's birthday. ‘Grandmother Pentland, never approved of Mrs. Milburn’s smarriage to Charlie, has arrived. | Grandmother urges Mrs. Milburn to accept fifty dollars as a present from her to pay the long overdue| rept. Grandmother takes the oppor- tunity of again scolding about the| shiftlessness of Charlie Milburn. Mrs, Milburn finally takes the money. As Grandmother is leaving | she asks Emmy to take her out to her car. Grandmother warns Emmy to pay no attention to Robb Hollis, young mill worker, who is !x\ love with Emmy, Emmy wants a “white- collar” man and Robb wears work- ing clothes, In a moment of depres- sion, Emmy decides that she is not going to spend her days in the little | old house, She wants something finer. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY | .CHAPTER 1II 1t secmed brighter and more ¥fiendly to her'than ever after that moment of depression and gloom in ‘the Garkness outside. It is an odd fact about houses— they seem to have souls just as “people have souls. Some of them are_melancholy and brooding. Some “of them are happy and warm and welcoming. The little yellow house, tiny and humble as it was, had a welcome as ‘wide as the world. You couldn’t set your foot over the threshold wtihout feeling that welcome—the peace and comfort of it. Emmy felt it now, Her spirits began to lift like wings as she closed the hall door behind her and stepped into the vellow candlelight. 8he was almost Nerself again—her natural, sensible imelf. “How horrid I was not to sing POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “The first child is a burden an’ a worry, but aiter you get a house full you kind ¢’ get used to seein’ ‘em dirty.” (Copyright, 1928, Pullisners 5y ndicate) thirteen, and | The story | who had | for Robb!

She always had gone to her with the things that troubled and confused her. They were great friends, these two, mother and daughter. But she didn't know how to begin. It seemed such a silly thing to talk Mrs. Milburn glanced down at her vivid head againts the red calico twice, as she cut the lettuce into tiny pale-green bits. Her quick eye took in the frowa on mmy’s forehead. the nervous clasping and unclasping of the fin- gers on her lap. Then she nsked a single question | very quietl; ‘What did your grandmother have to say when you walked out to her car with her tonight?” Emmy gave a start. “Why, she was talking about—Robb Hollis.” “I thought s0,” Mrs. Milburn an- swered, with that uncanny second- | sight that mothers often have where | concerned. “Well, just this to you, Emmy. You're far too young to bother clf about Robb Hollis or any young man for a while. But| when the time does come, don’t let anything count with you but love.

That's how T know that money isn't the beginning and end of life, Emmy.” There was silence In the warm lamp-lit room for a moment. JUST KIDS SO I DECIDED \ THEN AND THERE 0 SEVER DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS! Then Emmy broke it with a long sigh. “I wish 1 could take some more singing lessons from Mrs Hartsell pretty'woon,” she remark- ed, wistfully, “Then I could earn some money and get us all out of this awful street—this hateful neighborhood. Nobody decent to assoclate with—" Her voice trailed off into silence. “Perhaps we can arrange for you to have some more,” said Mrs. Mil- burn, and her hand went quickly to her apron pocket. Through the thin starched muslin Emmy could ™ make out the folded fifty-doliar bill that had been Grandmother Pentland's birthday present for her. “I'm not going to try to take any until I finish high achool next June, though. It's too much work,” Emmy hurried on. 8he was not going to have that money spent on her — that money that was to go for rent. Not it she knew it! Outside in the street rose a sound of shrill whistling. Then there was a scuffling of feet on the back steps and young Dan burst into the kitchen. Dan was the baby of the family. He was red-headed and freckled, and his wide smile showed large square white teeth, His face was flushed and dirty, and there was mud on his sweater. He had been playing football down in the Stand- ard lot, so he said, and had forgot- ten all about the time, “Go upstairs and wash yourself. Here's the tea-kettle,” his mother told him briskly, as she handed it to him. There were no hot-water pipes in the little house, and all the BORAH GHIDES RIVALS FOR STAND ON TARIFF (Continued from First Page) senator said Governor Smith four years ago had denounced the pro- tectice system as “a cold blooded holdup of the American people in the interest of the few.” Mr. Borah also declared that Senator Robin- son, the governor's running mate, had been a consistent opponent of tariff protection during his senatQr: ial career, Both democratic candidates, and Governor 8mith in particular, were charged by the senator with having been ‘“converted overnight” to the tariff on the ground of *political ex- pediency.” Mr. Borah also disclaim- ed declaration made by the demo- cratic candidate a week ago in Louisaville that the republicans had given the farmers the benefit of the tariff protection and that President Coolidge had “starved the tarift commission” in appropriations and prevented it from operating effi- ciently, The republican presidential candi- date was described by the senator as being a whole-hearted advocate of tariff protection as a means of maintaining American standards of living and wages. Mr. Borah made a plea that the presidency should not be entrusted to the democratic candidates who had been “recent |, converts” to this system, while water had to be heated on the replied young with great cheerfulness. Thet was his stock phrase—*You bet!"—said with much enthusiasm always. Dan was always enthusi- astic, always obliging, always will- ing to do things. Especlally things that took him out of the house, He loved to be on the street with his cronies. At fifteen, Dan was & man of the world in his own eyes. Whenever he was out of his mother's sight, he had a cheap cigarette pasted skill- fully on his lower lip a0 that it moved up and down when he talk- ed. His slang was fearful and won- derful to hear. When everybody else was getting “a kick” out of things, Dan was saying that they gave him “an awful boot” er a “belt.” He called & wise remark an “owl's egg,” and whatever he hap- pened to like was “all jam”™ or “jake.” Mrs. Milburn did not know what he was talking about, half the time, A minute after he had run up the stairs, taking them two steps at a time and spilling hot water as he went, the front door opened. “That's Perry,” Mrs. Milburn said, listening, her head to one side; “I can tell by the way he opens the door.” 8he was right. (TO BE CONTINUED) Wyoming Coal Miners Are Not to Strike Rock Springs, Wyo., Oct. 20 UP— Threat of a strike by coal miners in southwestern Wyoming was believed by state union officers to have been definitely removed today after con- ferences last night with leaders of every union in the district and the promise of miners in the three camps which were idle that they would return to work tomorrow. State union officers sald they did| not anticipate further walkouts be- tween now and October 29, when a referendum vote on a wage agree- ment will be completed. Mexico Provides Death For Motor Car Thieves Mexico City, Oct. 20, PM—Theo- retically, the death penalty applies to automoblle thieves in Mexico. An old decree was dug up in govern- ment files by an investigator, who could not ascertain that it had ever been repealed, to the effect t at every person stealing an automo- bile should be tried by drumhead court martial and if guilty shot by a firing squad. The degree has not been applied in recent years. _Dan Hoover's attitude on the tariff was of long standing. Reiterating his charge that the prohibition stand of Governor Bmith was instigated by Tammany Hall and repudiated the dry plank of the democratic Houston convention plat- form, Senator Borah declared that southern democratic leaders “were fighting for their lives” because in- dependent democrats are ‘unwilling to surrender to the dictation of Tammany.” GOV. SHITH ENDS WESTERN TRIP (Continued from First Page) from, and almost in the same breath shouted out: “OMl” Is Watchword ¥Oil! The Veterans' bureau and the administration of the office of the alien property cusiodian.” Turning to the Salt Creek lease, he said Mr. Work had been quoted by the press as saying “the people are tiréd of hearing of these oil leases.” “I think they are not only tir- ed,” the governor added, “but they are thoroughly and completely dis- gusted with them. What gave rise to that statement? Why did the doctor have to tell us that we are all tired of hearing about these ofl leases?" The nominee answered his own questions by saying Dr. Work had renewed the Salt Creek oil lease ne- gotiated by Albert B. Fall, as inter- ior secretary, with the Sinclair in- terests in December, 1922, and that earlier this week Attorney General Sargent had held the contract ille- gal and improper. Attacks Borah, Too The governor opened up on Sen- ator Borah of Idaho, now stumping the country in behalf of the repub- lican ticket. The nominee said that “men will talk when presidential elections are away off”” and told his audience that the Idahoan in speak- ing on farm relief in 1925 had said the problem still was with the farmer. “Yes, senator,” he continued, “in 1928 it is is still with him.” The remark brought laughter from the audience, and the nomi- nee then accused Borah of having voted against the “only bill sug- gested” to bring farm relief and offering nothing in its place.” Gov. Smith declared the Idaho senator had not always thought *so much” about Herbert Hoover, who he is supporting. 'He was not s0 kind to him only a comparative few years ago,” he went on, “He had a little different idea’of him when he was food ad- ministrator.” The democratic candidate quoted from Borah's speeches in the aenate and said he regarded them as a rather severe indictment of the effl- clency of Mr. Hoover in the hand- ling of the food administrator's of- fice.” “He said something else,” the governor added. “Listen to it: ‘No man who has such perfected views of decency ought to be entrusted with unlimited power to deal with one hundred million dollars. “Now, I confess that that s jumbled in the record, but I ask Benator Borah, to whom did he re- fer?” Gov. Smith said Borah once had declared that “Mr. Hoover, who violated the most fundamental principles of the constitution of this country will not have very much re- gard for a statute in Europe.” “This to my way of thinking is a very polite way of calling a man & law-breaker,” the nominee added. The governor reiterated his plai for revision of the prohibition laws and was applauded and cheered when he declared: “And you can make up your minds that if I take the oath of oftice on the ¢th day of next March as president of the United States and I swear before high heaven that T shall uphold the constitution and the law of this country, I will do it On water power, the nominee asked “what about the great, half- completed power development at Muscle Shoals, and the development at Boulder Canyon on the Colorado river?” “Take it from me,” he declared, “leave the great water power Tre- sources in the hands of the republi- can party and in the next four years they will be under private owner- ship, and operated for private profit and for private gain.
