Copyright, 1929, by The Prose Publishing Coa (The New York Rvening World), F MIKE GILHOOLEY doesn't set the world on fire, his hair will! | Mike Is the famous boy stowaway who made five attempts to enter the U. 6.

He has red hair and freckles, which have bothered many @ good Irishman, and then he has the dark brown eyes and shrug of tho shoulders of the typical Frenchman. He wore a knicker- bdocker suit of dark material, a cap io match, a brigit red tie, black — stock- ings and tan shoes, amd if you should meet him walking along the — street you would take him for a lad of thirteen or fourteen, instead of a boy of sixteen who has seen all sides of life. Mike has had three guanilans since he entered this country: Elsie Janis, who kept nim ust two days; Mrs. Marion Gilhooley Curry, who took him because she had the same mid- die name, and kept him until she went into bankruptcy — and now Mr. Bel- ster, The latter is young, energetic, ypical New York Business man, who is married ‘but has no children of his own: He has a country home at Briarcliff, West- chester; takes Mike camping with hin @uring the vacation 4nd is just the sort of man a young , boy admires. “Why did 1 wish to become the uardian of Mike? he asked In re- Sponse to my query. ‘Well, I'll tell Z er since Mike made his y trip I've liked that boy, UL liked his courage, and when he ar- Tived the third time I made up my Mind that I would look him up, Then business matters interfered and he was deported. I espectally admired him when ho sald, ‘They can send me back, but I'll get in yet, and I’m go- img to be an American.’ Then he game here a fourth and a fifth time, and each time I was so busy’ that I missed him, but when I read the a count of Mrs, Curry being bankrupt I sent my secretary right over to her attorney and in due time I had Mike up at my home. “Have you mapped out a career for Mike?” I asked Mr. Bolster, “{ am going to try to enter him in the’ Horace Mann School,” replied Mike's guardian, “but outside of that I have made no plans. He likes to tinker with my autos. Perhaps his mind runs along mechanical lines.” Then Mike, who was outside with a governess and had Come in town to go home with Mr, Bolster, was called in and Mike and 1 talked about New York and life in general while his guardian attended to business affairs. Retore Mr, Bolster left us he in- ferred that Mike had a girl and so we opened our conve on upon that point. “Who is sh I asked bringing plushes to Mike's cheeks which even outrivaled his hair in color “Well, her name is Consuelo," ‘ike said, in a voice which smacked of a brogue and at the same time a French yivacity (for you must know that Mike's father was an Irishman and his mother a French woman). “And she lives “In New York,” snapped Mike, “but Y won't tell any more about her,” and he didn’t only to add that when he was camping in Canada with Mr Bolster he wanted to send this young lady a postal, but he couldn't do this he ‘didn't know her last and he wasn't quite sure of her Why do vou like America so much ‘and why did you feel that you sim ply must come he I asked Mike next “Because T Mked your doughboys so we sald Mike as his eyes anapped and he adjusted his red tie. “[ concluded that any country that had et » young men must be yood 5 My fath in 1910, my mother, a widow time the r broke out, was ty prisoner, le #he was killed and fince 1 had _no brothers or sisters in Charlerol, Belgium, where T lived, 1 decided to follow up these dough. boys. | made up my mind that I would come here a hundred times if * nec y, but I did it in five trips.” And now re here what do you inte on you grow up?” Mike xed his shoulders. “T guess I'll be an ngineer,” he wall, after & moment's thought. “I'm going to marry and be a good Ameri- vtperhaps you'l marry Consi MICHAEL GIIlLHOOLEY.. suggested, but Mike just tossed his ir ou have lived at hotels and » in country homes, which life do you prefer, city or country?"

Bverywhere business men are hiring good women business workers instead of firing them, In fact, in many ov- terprises, just such ag the example mentioned, women are replacing mon entirely because of the natural pro- clivities they posseas as women. They are untiring, vigilant, inter- ested and patient; and so they step into places where men have “fallen down” in theme qualitl Tt all rests with the woman herself. It 1s good beyond, measure to notice such cases ag the above. It behooves every woman in the present era of reconstruction to make good in her Job, not only for herself, but patriotiam to her sex.

It was what Jesse James said to his boy scouts when Jesse Jimmie had the gimmies. Robin Hood, the famous daddy of Little Red Riding Hood, had the same dope. “Get the Money, Boys!” is what Barnum said to his ticket sell- ers, and what Ponzi quoth to. his nimble agen Armour said it as he marked up the price of beef, and Rockefeller spilled the same idea as he hoisted the price tag of gasoline, Three million bucks isn't much to spend when there are thirty mill- fon votes in the country. That's 10 cents a vote. The three million slap Jacks will only pay the war tax. Money is the jack of all political trades. The candidates windjam on the phonograph records, but the things that do the real talking are the flat diska with milled edges. The Repubs figure that money mak the Marionette go. And the Dems figure there'll be no fight without paying off Cox's army of spellbinders, The guy that said “the poor are al- ways with us” wasn’t a campaign manager, A campaign manager knows the poor are never with him so long as they are poor.
