" When, a Girl Marries" By ANN tISLK A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCXXIX (Copyright, 1919, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Ever since that noon when I sat with Neal ansl Pat and Carlotta i at the Olinsarge and heard of tlie i birth of the Dalton-Sturges Corpor ation, I've known that some day 1 would have to tell Jim about it. Often I've rehearsed the scene in i my mind, and imagined myself sit-; ting across the table from Jim after) a particularly good dinner relating the circumstances smoothly, logical- j ly, convincingly. Jim's mood must j ho just right—receptive, so 1 could; influence hint to see things from a; practical viewpoint. 1 meant to take my own good time , about telling Jim. And when I did j tell him. 1 expected to justify my! long silence by the triumph of my, diplomacy. But now Jim had forced the bare I fact from inc. Forced it from me at; the particular moment when it was j ieast advantageous, least diplomatic j harder for me to read and under stand. How could I hope to manage | this situation when 1 hadn't been able to persuade him to let me man- ; age the other situation—N'eal's en -1 gagement to Evvy? Jim looked domir/ant, stubborn j and dangerous. I Couldn't under- ] stand him in such mood. He seemed t a stranger to me, and not the ro- ( mantic, fiery, impractical war-hero I had pursued from the first moment. I saw him. But as he stood looking at me; across the chair he had swung be-; tween us, it flashed through ray mind that if only I kept my head, now, I could effect a compromise—i make Jim sec things at least partly j my way. Since I said that one pregnant: sentence, "N'eal's with the Dalton- j Sturges Realty Corporation," no word had come from Jim. A minute or two passed while my j thoughts whirled along and 1 1 waited for Jim to say something,; anything—rather than stand there staring at me as if he were forcing, himself to a verdict. At last he j repeated my words slowly, one at j a time: "So. Tour brother's with the! Dalton-Sturges Realty Corpora- j tion." "Yes, Jim. But let me explain," I] replied eagerly. Jim smiled and waved me to a | chair. I didn't like his stmile and; 1 was astonished when I found my self obediently sitting down.

Jim demanded, in a low, even voice. "Ever since it happened. Two weeks ago, 1 guess." "And why—knowing my previous I interest in Neal, apart from the fact j that he is my wife's brother—. haven't you seen (it to telt me?" "I didn't think the time had! come, Jim. I thought it best to; wait," 1 murmured- almost sheep ishly, as the situation began to slip : away from me. You didn't think the time had; come?" repeated Jim still with liisl remote air of being my judge rather; than my husband. Then his voice! changed, deepened and rang out ae- j custngly: "When we met Pat and Co.r'otta that night in my office building and 1 felt that their being together was, —an Insult to Jeanie, you knew'.'; Neal was with them then?" "Yes, Jim," I said frantically. : "Stop cross-questioning me and let 1 me explain." "I shall be glad to have you ex-' plain," said Jim, in a broken voice. I "1 couldn't say anything that night. I was-so intent on having you save Phoebe from Dick West that I didn't want to complicate 'matters. I know you hate Pat —- ; because of Virginia. But I think he still loves her; I think they love each other, and I want to bring them together. I long to," "Will you please stick to the mat ter we're considering," said Jim, a little wearily. "I'm not in sympathy with your trying to play Providence to Virginia, when Pat shows his preference for a woman of Car- Lotta Sturges's type." "All right," I retorted, getting a little sullen at his indifference to all my best intentions. "I didn't say anything about Neal then because I wanted you to save Phoebe from Dick West and for Neal, and I thought" "You thought," interrupted Jim, furiously, "that you could run things me included—to suit your self! You thought you'd let me have as much of the truth as I was capa ble of understanding! As a toss-up between my judgment and yours you always prefer your own, Anne. Keeping the truth from me is de ceiving me making a fool of me. I'll not stand for it. Don't you know I won't stand for it?" "What are you going to do?" I cried.

I sat in silence for a moment. Then I cried: "Jim—l need you now. I'm not self-sufficient Come back!" But there was no answer. He was gone. To Be Continued. New Devices For Airplanes Are Under Experiment Washington, June 23. —Indestruct- ! ible gasoline tanks, automatic | cranks and portable hangars are a I few of the airplane equipment de ! vices which the Army air service's engineering section is seeking to perfect. American inventors have ! been asked to assist. The gasoline tank desired would withstand "a salvo of fifteen shots lired at a range of thirty yards, the ammunition consisting of service, tracer, incendiary and armor-pierc ing bullets, without Are resulting." A maximum weight limit of seven ty-five per cent, more than the or dinary tank has been fixed. An automatic cranker, mounted on a truck and electrically driven, is under experiment. Portable hangars of canvas, of the type now used, are very unsatisfactory, ac cording to aviation officials. Endorses Plan For Memorial to Men Who Built Big Canal Ancon, Canal Zone, June 23.—A memorial to the engineers who built the Panama Canal, to be erected in the form of a building containing assembly and library and museum facilities, was endorsed at a meeting of the Panama section of the Amer ican Institute of Electrical En gineers. It is intended to enlist the co-operation of the national en gineering societies. It is believed that a site overlooking the canal will be granted by the United States government.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Republican Leaders Plan Cutting of Expenditures Washington, June 23. —House and Senate leaders are deter mined to do all possible to hold the appropriations which must be hurried through in the next several weeks down to the low est practicable figures. While greater reductions could be made were it possible to devote two or three months ; to the bills, it is certain that the cuts in expenditures will be largo. The army appropriation bill, reported recently from the House military committee, has been reduced by about $400,000,- 000. The navy bill will be reduced below the figure at which it was reported in the last Congress. Other important reductions are to be made. Australian Copper Mines Closed Because Demand has Decreased London, June 23.—A1l but two of the Australian copper mines and smelzers are reported to have been closed down because of the large stocks of metal on hand and the very small demand. The American Chamber of Com merce in London reports that this condition has raised the question in interested circles in Great Britain as to whether copper should be im ported from the United States to the detriment of' the industry in British Dominions. Sixty per cent of the British im ports of copper last year came from the United States and only a little over nine per cent from Australia. War allocation of shipping space had a lot to do with this but there is a feeling in England, that im ports from the United States should now be kept down and preference given to the Australian product. This would be a further means of reduc ing Great Britain's adverse balance of trade with the United States. DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS I I S nr .j A STYLISH COSTUME Waist 284 4. Skirt 2854.

This will be for 1913 and 1914 and is intended to cover an annual reimbursement from the State of fifty per cent, of the total amount of road tax collected by the township as shown in the sworn statement, but it is provided, how ever, that no township shall receive in any one case more than S2O per mile of township road in said town ship. By Act of June 3, 1915, the pro visions of the Act of July 22, 1913, were suspended until all deficiencies incurred prior to the year 1915 he paid by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. During the present session of Legislature, an appropria tion of $1,142,049.38 was made to pay in full all the deficiencies due the townships and the certification of this bonus to the State Treas urer for payment to the townships is now under way. The method provided for making this distribu tion is for the State Highway com missioner to certify to the Auditor General the amount due the respec tive township'. The Auditor General then upon approval is required to draw warrant upon the State Treas urer for payment and the State Treasurer to pay direct to the Treas urer of the board of township sup ervisors.

I The Army of Occupation has a telephone system clostly resembling i the best commercial system tn the United States. On the top floor of | the headquarters building in Cob -1 lenz a nine position switchboard | was installed soon after the Amer icans reached the Rhine. Scattered i throughout Uoblenz are twenty pri i vate branch exchanges of the vari j ous units of headquarters. Connect ! Ed to this system are more than four j hundred "subscribers" in addition to I the fifty long distance lines. 18,000 Miles of Wire Within the German occupied area there has been established by the Signal Corps under the direction of Colonel Parker Hitt, chief signal officer, a network of wires connect ing the various units of the Third Army. Direct lines connect with all the corps and divisions, approxi mately 16,000 miles of wire being I in service. This extensive plant has not, I however, been built by the Third ! Army, but eonsisttu almost alto i gether of the German lines taken I over by the Signal Corps and so arranged to meet the need of the I Army.
