Walsh.) “I= no use, girls, I couldn't tell father about the trousseau tea,” said Mrs. Aspyre despair- ingly. “You know his views on modern marriage customs. He simply raved about the showers, What he thinks of a trousseau tea I have not even dared to ask.” “Oh, father is a positive obstruc- tion,” sighed Betty, the bride-elect. “A positive obstruction,” echoed Peggy. “We must just go ahead and trust to luck that all will be over before he gets home,” said Mrs. Aspyre, firmly. Trusting to luck was all very well as a general principle, Betty reflected, but with father it was different. Fa- ther and luck didn't seem to go to- gether—with father it was safer to trust to some well-set design. “I'll get Oswald to help out with this,” she said in a tone that indicated that her faith in Oswald's helping out powers was limitless. She called Oswald on the phone the morning of the tea. “lI want you to motor down to fa- ther’s office about four o’clock this aft- ernoon and entice him to go for a drive—a long, slow drive. Keep him out of the way till my trousseau tea is over. Father has a wretched habit of dropping in home at unexpected times and i“ he happened in and found me displaying my clothes I'm afraid there'd be slow music instead of a tea—you know how hopelessly old-fashioned father is. And don't forget that I'm entertaining the brides- maids tonight, so get back with the. car in time to take us to the theater.” “But where will I drive your father to?” asked the bewildered Oswald. “Tell him you want his advice about something in our bungalow, and take him out there—it tickles father half to death to be asked for his advice.” “But I can take him out to the bungalow and back in half an hour,” said Oswald. “Well, think up something,” urged Betty. “Show him some property you have for sale further out—away out —about five miles from a street car —he won't suspect anything. Any- way, don’t let him get home till the tea is over. It will be a wonderful chance for you to impress him with your business ability—you know, dearie, you haven't made much of a hit with father so far.” “I'l say I haven't,” wald, miserably. “T want you to come out and see our bungalow and give me your advice about the best kind of walk to put down”—thus Oswald explained in his intrusion on the notice of the Ob- struction at the unusual hour of four in the afternoon. “I don’t know much about myself.” “You probably will before we get back,” replied Obstruction with more heartiness than he had ever before bestowed upon his prospective son- in-law, as with unexpected alacrity he jumped into the car. “What have you got in the tank?” asked the Obstruction as the car crept slowly down the road. “Why, gasoline, of course,” answered Oswald “Thought maybe it was molasses, casually observed the Obstruction, as he leaned comfortably back and lit a cigar. Oswald did his best to impress the Obstruction with his business ability as weil as the desirability as a fam- ily attachment. The Love Nest was reached at last and duly inspected and approved by the Obstruction as a place of future residence of his eldest daughter, and » admitted Os- 3 walks ”» Oswald noted with an inward groan that it was only five o'clock. Versed as he was in the intricacies of trous- seau teas he knew that the affair would be at the height of its glory just about the time they would reach the house if they returned at once. “l have a summer cottage on my list 1 would like to show you,” he said with sudden inspiration. “I heard the girls say you thought of selling the one you have and buying another. If you can spare the time we might as well run out and see it today.” Cheerfully the Obstruction agreed, and the success of this further ven- ture gave Oswald courage. After nearly an hour's slow drive Oswald swung his car in between two rather imposing-looking lamp posts and drew up before a much verandahed cottage from which the winter shut- ters had not yet been removed. He stood up in the car and in his most elegant declamatory manner pointed out to his companion the fine points of his property. “The view from that tower is mag- nificent—magnificent,” he said. He felt he was impressing father, The Obstruction evinced terest. “Ah, yes—the view from that tower —I'd like very much to see it. Have you the keys of the nouse with you?” Oswald blushed and searched in many pockets, “1 must have come away without them,” he stamme:red, “Just like a regular real estate agent,” said the Obstruction with a dry little laugh. “Never mind, per- haps well find a door unlocked.” He jumped o t of the car and went around to the back of the cottage, In a moment he appeared and beck- oned to Oswald. “The kitchen door is unlocked,” he said as he led the way inside, much in- agent had represented it and they enjoyed it in silence for a few min- utes, Then, seemingly apropos of | nothing, the Obstruction observed thoughtfully : “One thing 1 like about you, Oswald, is that you're a darned poor liar. And before Oswald could recover | from the shock of this ambiguous compliment, the Obstruction had backed out of the room and closed | and locked the door behind him. | As he swung the car out on to the | road the Obstruction looked back and | saw Oswald preparing to climb | | | | of the tower by way of the verand: roof, “You'll know something about walks after today; it’s five miles to a street | car,” he chuckled grimly. At a quorter to eight the Obra | tion honked the auto horn in front | of his own residence and five ladies fluttered out and into the ca. before they noticed who the driver was. “A real estate deal detained Oswald in the country,” he explained, “so I volunteered to drive you to the the- ater.” “How perfectly sweet of chirped the bridesmaids. “Oswald has made a good impres- sion on father,” reflected Betty hap- pily. At the theater the Obstruction oc- cupied the seat which was to have been Oswald’s. There was some com- edy in the play, but not enough to account for the suppressed mirth with which he shook at frequent intervals. Oswald very reluctantly accepted the Obstruction’s invitation to visit him in his office the next day. “Well, old man,” said the host as he extended an unusually friendly hand, “since you and I have got to live you,” together with those women I guess we'll have to stick together. My wretched habit of dropping home at unexpected times let me in oa over: hearing Betty commission you to keep me out of the way while th» folderol | follies were going on. I was curious to see how you would do it. The girls thin.. you made a hit with me yester- day, so we'll say nothing further about how you did it. In future, son, don’t | try to put anything over on the old | man. That summer cottage you tried | to sell me yesterday is my own prop- | erty. And, as I said before, one thing I like about you, Oswald, is that you're such a darned poor liar.” Texan Finds Raising of Snakes Profitable Faced with fieavy financial losses as the result of a grasshopper scourge which threatened to destroy their | crops, ranchers of one of the great agricultural districts of South Amer- ica sent a hurry-up call to the Unit- ed States for ald. One of those who responded was Albert (Tex) Schu- bach, former Texas ranger, who now operates a snake farm in Oakland Calif. Schubach, together with other snake eranch operators in this country, sent shipments of snakes, to- | taling in value $ area. These snakes were turned loose | and within a short time were cred- ited with having destroyed or driven out the grasshopper hordes. | Not only in South America but in the United States as well the demand for reptiles makes snake ranching a ~ : “ | profitable business, Schubach says. | Sideshows, farmers and Chinese doc- | are Schubach’s best | To the first he supplies rattlesnakes, | Gila monsters, and other venomous reptiles. Farmers purchase harmless types, such as tree, coach- | whip, gopher and garter snakes. Chinese doctors buy live rattle- snakes. They are placed in alcohol containers and allowed to “pickle” for three or four years. Applied to an | afflicted joint, the alcoholized meat of | these reptiles is a practically certain cure for rheumatism, oriental physi- cians claim. Last year Schubach sold more than $600 worth of rattlers to this trade alone. | Schubach sells snake hides for hat- tors customers moccasins bands and belt coverings. In his spare moments he experiments with | snake venom and several kinds of | antidotes. The reptiles on Schubach’s ranch are procured in California, Arizona and Mexico. Tex spends about half his time traveling from one snake lo- cality to another, catching or buying reptiles. The remainder of his time is devoted to marketing his strange | commodity and to giving demonstra tions and lectures before schools, Boy Scouts and fraternal organizations.— | Nation's Business Magazine, | Stock Your Harem When Ted Wells, the newest West- ern star to rise above the horizon, first came to Hollywood, direct from | the range, he had just as many wild notions about movie folk as most of | the folks from the Far East. “Funny,” he remarked to a studio | acquaintance, “what a difference the law of supply and demand makes, | Now, where I come from, you don't | see a good-looking woman in a ten-mile ride, but here in Hollywood, where they flock from all parts of the world, | I see that they're seiling them, and dirt cheap at that!” | “Selling women in Hollywood?

Today Is Enough Do today's duty, fight today’s temptation; and do not weaken and distrust yourself by looking forward to things which you cannot see, and could not understand if you saw them, | The view was quite as fine as the —Charles Kingsley, THE PATTON COURIER epresentative Democracy Inadequate to Deal With World’s Great Problems By PROF. HARRY ELMER BARNES, Smith College. HE present political system of representative democracy has been proved by science and history to be inadequate for the solution of the economic, social and political problems of the nation. We must recognize the inadequacy of representative government, and we can remedy its defects by insisting upon special training for pub- lic service in the legislative and executive branches of government much We must recognize the validity of the class system of voting, that is, proportional or weighted voting, to insure domination of the intellectual persons. The assumptions on which democracy was based were: The rela- tively simple agricultural society of early America with correspondingly simple political and social problems, representative units of homogeneous nature without conflicting interests, the idea that all men are equal in capacity, the belief in justice and validity of universal suffrage, the con- viction that all people have an ardent interest in politics and that they study carefully candidates and their qualities before voting, the idea that masses have a special capacity for sensing injustice and for leading cru- sades for reform, and the conception of isolation from international af- fairs. Every one of these assumptions has been rendered invalid by the in- dustrial revolution, and as a result the idea of representative democracy has been so changed that it is now useless. Only 50 per cent of the peo- ple now vote, and these have to be dragged out by politicians with threats, money, favors, prejudices, geographical arguments, conventions and so- cial settings. The arguments of the parties now do nothing but paralyze intelligent selection of candidates, Perhaps there will come a day, 1,000 years from now, when we will look back upon this system of representative democracy as the modern as in the present civil service, chemist looks back upon alchemy. Science Has Thrown Light on Connecting Link Between Life and Death By PROF. C. LOVATT EVANS, Famed Physiologist. As many of our religious and philosophical beliefs are undoubtedly fulfillments of wishes I feel that it ultimately amounts being dependent upon our individual temperaments or ological make-up. to our decisions personal physi- I ) Science has made it possible to link up some of the phenomena of life with the phenomena of the nonliving, and thus approach the connect- ing link between life and death. Matter, energy, time, and space are in the melting pot, and out of it will come we know not what kind of strange relations one to another. Of one thing we may be sure, no final explana. tion will follow. Implicit in the very potentialities of science, there is a gloomier side of the picture. Rapidly accumulating wealth of detailed knowledge de- mands increased specialization. Unless there is a period of intellectual stock taking there must inevitably be a loss of perspective and of grasp of great general principles. Religion Most Vitally Concerned With Problems That Affect Industry By REV. CHARLES KENDALL GILBERT, New York (Episcopal). To our austere Puritan ancestors the phrase, keep holy the Sabbath, meant to make that day hateful and dreaded to all except the ruthlessly pious and fanatic. Some such people living today would make Sunday a day of unnatural restraint and repression. Interpreted by the spirit and precept of the Lord of the Sabbath to keep Sunday as a “holy day” is to make it a “helpful” day; a day of rest and refreshment for tired souls and bodies. In the light of that same teaching, a holy life is a life of helpfulness; not a life of strained exercises in piety, but a life patterned after that Life which was supremely holy because it was supremely helpful and made for the enrichment of the life of fellow men. The church is inseparably linked with labor and its needs and re- ligion is vitally concerned with problems that affect the relationship of men in the realms of industry. Present Mode in Women’s Clothing Has Been of Material Benefit to Humanity By DR. PAUL STRASSMAN, University of Berlin. Numerous women’s ailments are disappearing as a result of the ath- letic type of clothing now decreed by fashion. Mode rules the world, and the accident that caused strangling corsets and other torturing apparel to be thrown into discard has been a boon to humanity. Anemia is one of the diseases that has almost entirely disappeared since more sensible clothing has been in vogue. The day of the tall, wil- lowy, lily-like figure, topped by a pale bloodless face, that was once con- sidered the height of fashion, has given way to a sort of mellow plump- ness or roundness of the figure, well-developed muscles and firm, nour- ished tissue, set off by & vivacious face, ruddy with the glow of health. Cancer, one of the enemies of mankind that has been fostered by civilization, is almost unknown among certain savage tribes that regard clothing from the standpoint of a necessity, rather than a medium for expression of personality and gratification of vanity. Lack of Religious Training Accountable for Prevalence of Youthful Criminals By HARRY C. HONECK, New York Jail Warden. Children form the controlling class of society and to a great extent they dominate criminal life, too. In other generations, parents governed their children, but nowadays children govern their parents, for good or bad, and they have no intention of relinquishing control. Even in Brooklyn, where the problem of crime and youth is improv- ing, the youngsters dominate, but Brooklyn is the great church borough and the churches are beginning to regain their grip on the children. Last year almost two-thirds of all crime in the borough was committed by girls and boys between sixteen and twenty-one. This year I’m hoping this will be reduced by 10 per cent or more. Lack of religious training and general education accounts for most of the youthful criminals and of course environment is a big factor, too. But there are indications of a religious revival among the young of all creeds. | ed States army is said to be found at | mac | Electrical Contractor Gives Advice to Others “I think Milks Emulsion should be advertised all over the world, so as to help all of the sick, “In 1912 I had a great deal of trou- ble with my stomach and bowels, For several years I tried everything that I saw advertised, but I kept getting worse all the time.
