ALLY had inherited her from her mother, who had first pos- sessed Aunt Lulu. Poor, fret- ted little Mrs. Marsh had loved to talk about her Uncle Ed's widow, how rich she was and how possible it was that a part at least of those riches would come to Hally ultimately. Uncle Ed had made his money in some sort of a mine—silver or copper; Mrs. Marsh had never been sure which. She strove to keep up friend- ly relations with Uncle Ed's widow, writing her and sending her little gifts, Once a year or so, Aunt Lulu wrote the briefest letter. Otherwise she remained impenetrable. When her mother died, Hally took up the correspondence with Aunt Lulu. It was likely to prove a bur. den, for Hally was beset with anx- iety. Her mother’s prolonged sickness had taken the last of their money be- sides leaving a few debts which Hally must pay. The girl was obliged to leave school and take a position in a store, giving up her dreams of success for hard reality. She did not ask Aunt Lulu for help; she told her noth- ing save that her mother had died. Tt was four months before Aunt Lulu answered and then her letter was lit- tle more than a note of correspond- ence, By that time Dick had appeared in Hally's life. Dick worked in the same store and studied evenings. He was bound to be a draftsman and when Hally looked into his clear gray eyes she knew that he had will enough and courage enough and brains enough to attain his goal. It seemed impos sible that anybody so fine as Dick could come to Ler. But he did. And she adored him. Why, the first mo- ment she saw him she knew that a great window had opened to her vi- sion which was never to close, Dick's personality produced just that effect of emerging vista, freedom and gen- erous light in her gray existence. One summer afternoon she and Dick walked out to the lake's edge and sat on a bench gazing upon that misty blue. The breeze stirred her uncovered fair hair and whipped the color into her cheeks. She was too bappy, just sitting there beside Dick, A moment later this happiness blew away as before a mighty wind upon which, as upon wings, rushed a new joy so marvelons that she wept lest it find her unworthy. Dick had asked her to be his wife. It was not until some three months later that Hally remembered Aunt Lulu. She and Dick were married. living in a tiny apartment. Evenings he worked at his lessons while she sat embroidering beside him. They wera go happy in their love and compan jonship that Hally came near forget ting all else.

A cloud passed over the sun for Hally. She did not know anything about Aunt Lulu save what her moth- er had heen able to gather from those brief infrequent letters; she had a vague idea without knowing how she had come by it, that Aunt Lulu was big and coarse. Where would she put a biz woman in an apartment which was barely large enough for the two of them as it was? Dick laughed when Hally teld him what they must expect. “Well,” he said, “we'll just have to make the best of it, dear. Give her our room. Make her comfortable.” “1 will, but, Dick isn't it odd, her coming to us? She never saw me, she never saw mother even.

Next day Hally and Dick found that instead of entertaining Aunt Lulu, she was determined that she should entertain them. Theré was no doubt she had money, plenty of it. And she knew how to spend it, Within a week she and Hally were fast friends. Hally found great en- joyment in Aunt Lulu’s society. Some- times she seemed almost as young as Hally was, and they laughed together like two school girls, especially when Hally presented the portrait of the Aunt Lulu she had expected. | “TI haven't any real folks of my own since Ed died,” Aunt Lulu said, “That was why I was suddenly taken with a desir&to see you.” Ed always plannel | to bring me back home, as he called | it, but after he got so old and tired | he felt that he could be more com- fortable where he was.

JOHN HAYNES HOLMES, Community Church, New York. APITAL punishment is the result of fear and hate and lust with- in the human heart and should be abolished, as some of the world’s greatest minds have advocated for centuries. We must banish capital punishment from society as we have banished in- fanticide and chattel slavery, as we are banishing child labor and the subjection of women, as some day we shall banish war. Opponents of capital punishment include all the greatest and noblest names from Confucius, Buddha and Jesus to Channing, Abraham Lin- coln, Victor Hugo, and Leo Tolstoi. In the course of centuries of dis- | cussion every plea against the practice has been vindicated and estab- | lished. The evidence is all in, the arguments all heard, the case closed, the judgment rendered. There remains now only the task of carrying out the verdict of condemnation, and getting rid of capital punishment forever, The nine states which have the highest murder rate in this country are all capital punishment states. But capital punishment at bottom is not supported as a protection against anything. Psychologically the death penalty is an instance of revenge; sociologically it is the institution of blood sacrifice; ethically it is the practice of retribution. In capital punishment we have a sur- vival into modern times of the barbarism of primitive times. Person Reaching the Age of Sixty Should Be in the Prime of Life By JAMES J. DAVIS, Secretary of Labor. A man or woman of fifty or sixty years of age is just as capable : worker as he or she was at thirty, perhaps more capable, even, physically. The reason is that the years have brought the reward of experience and | | | | added skill. Instead of becoming a liability at fifty or sixty, the intelli- | gent worker is all the more an asset to his employer. Many a time, 1 remember, when T was a boy at work in the iron | mills I saw a faithful worker who had rounded out fifty years of life. The custom was to present him with a gold watch, in token for age. Put he was also presented with a discharge, a man had outlived his usefulness. indeed. It was ssumed that at his years A man that old was thought to be old A man that old thought so himself. Since then science has added years to the span of human life. day nobody feels old at any age. of old age, but people are healthier. They lead a more active life. In the face of this tendency of science and our better life to abolish age and keep us young and even more productive, we have a tendency among employers to drop good workers at an ever younger and younger 1 I think it is something that is serious and should be watched. age.

CHARLES E. MERRIAM, University of Chicago. Independent Cities a Responsibilities of large metropolitan regions, like New York, Chi- | Pl and Philadelphia, for governmental functions might be discharged more efficiently cago if such regions were granted independent statehood. It is clear that the future United States will be dominantly urban. In 1920 there were 17 regions, each having a population of more than 500,- 000 and a total population of 26,000,000, while were at the same time there nine states with a population of less than 500,000. It is obvious that some essary to enable such groups to carry on their governmental functions effectively. It is probable that in the near future there will be heard a strong plea for the organization of metropolitan regions as independent states. Such an experiment would give adequate scope for development of a public welfare system appropriate to urban communities and for the de- velopment of a metropolitan system of jurisprudence, differing from the now dominantly rural type. Should Be Given Full Authority to Control Capital Cases. Courts By GOV. ALVAN T. FULLER, Massachusetts.
