"BULGES”—A DOMESTIC DRAMA

She: Well, what did your National Horse Col-

could have told you. He: What was I to do? Can I make the market

go up? Am I a miracle man? She: Why don't you do what the brokers say? He: What do they say? She: They say to sell on bulges. Here’s a broker’s

statement right here opposite the stock quotations, and it says. ’Until the market develops a more defi- nite trend we recommend selling on bulges.”

He: How can I sell on bulges when there are no

bulges? •

She: There must be bulges. Brokers wouldn’t

say to sell on them if there weren't any. would they? He: I dunno. All I know is that National Horse

Collars hasn't bulged in a month. She: You mean to say it hasn't had a single bulge

since you bought it? He (sadly): Nary a bulge. Ida. She: Well, there must be something wrong other

stocks have bulges, don’t they? He: I suppose so.

She: Look at Federated Olive Stuffers; it's up two points today. Isn’t that a bulge?

He: If my stock went up two points I would call it a burst..

She: Weil, why don't you call up your broker and complain.

He: About what? She: About bulges. He: Please be quiet, Ida; you're most exasper-

ating. She: You should call him up and insist upon a

bulge. He: How can he make a bulge? Don't be silly She: Well, when you bought the stock he didn’t

Washington L®ftft@ir By HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON. May 1.—If congress approves the bill dropped into the hopper of the house of repre- sentatives the other day by Rep. George Tinkham of Massachusetts, one of the most hallowed spots in Washington will be disturbed.

It is Statuary hall—in the national capitol budd- ing—where stand the marble and bronze statues of illustrious citizens from the various states of the re- public.

The famous gallery of sculpture had its origin by an act of congress in the year 1864. Mr. Tinkham thinks it has served its day and that the crowded con- dition which prevails there “has been a source of rid- icule and contempt for America s lack of dignity and culture for years.”

He proposes the establishment of an American hall of fame to house the statues now reposing there as well as those yet to be received.

• • • •

DESECRATION Tinkham s proposal more than likely will meet

with opposition. We have discussed the question with several representatives, and. while they deplore the crowded condition in Statuary hall, they never- theless are reluctant to see the old hall of the house of representatives lose its occupants.

One referred us to the statement of Rep. Robert Gumming Schenek of Ohio, made at »the time the resolution was up for discussion in 1864.

“I never pass# through the old hall of the house of representatives.” Schenck said upon this occasion, without feeling myself reproached by the spirits that haunt the place.

“I look around to see where the venerable John Quincy Adams trembled in his seat and voted, and I see a huckster woman selling gingerbread. I look to see where Calhoun and Clay sat. and I find a woman

selling oranges and root beer. I look around the floor where these men stood and uttered their pa- triotic sentiments in the day when patriotic senti- ments were heard with reverence everywhere and by every man. and I see a floor rotting and trembling un-

der my tread.” • Senator Morrill of Vermont once said in reference

to the place: “Nature formed but one, "And broke the die in molding”— The “democratic simplicity and grandeur of style”

profoundly impressed the late senator. Its “wealth of association with many earnest and eloquent chapters in the history of our country deserves perpetuity at the hands of an American congress.”

• • • *

ALMOST A WAREHOUSE At present there are 54 statues in the hall, and

the fifty-fifth—that of the late Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin—soon is to be unveiled.

Each state was invited by the president in 1865 to provide statues of two of its illustrious sons or daugh- ters. There were 36 slates in the union at the time.

The first statue arrived in 1870. and was a stone effigy of Nathaniel Greene of Rhode Island Nine- teen years later there were only 18 statues in the hall.

There are 42 statues yet to be received. Mr. Tink- ham thinks that by the time these are placed in their

positions Statuary hall will have the appearance of a warehouse.

UNDERGROUND MYSTERY STORy| j By J.Jefferson Farjeon dm,*!.m».^c-t^u*.

CHAPTER XXX Walt a minute!" exclaimed Ru-

pert "I rather guessed you were

a detective—or that modest edition

of one which you've Just described.” Oh! How did you do that?'

• By the revolver you're carry-

ing.” • Eh? Revolver?” blinked Pip. his

right hand making a sudden move-

ment. and then stopping in mid- air. H-3 drew a step closer, ana

stared hard at Rupert. "How did

you know I had a revolver? "I didn't," admitted Rupert,

complacently. "But I do now.

Don’t you think I’d make rather a good detective?”

A little flush crept into Pip s

cheeks. He continued to regard Ru-

pert fixedly, then suddenly thrust his head forward as though this action would place Rupert at a dis-

advantage; which, in a sense, it did. "Are you trying to make out—?”

he began. But Rupert poured oil upon the

troubled waters. "I’m not trying to make out any-

thing.” he said, "only you must ad- mit all this is a bit confusing. You tell me you are—well, attached to the detective force, which I’m will- ing to accept, and that one of my fellow guests is a crook, which I'm not so willing to accept. Tell me

something more about her. Then I'll know where I am. when I meet her again—”

"You won't meet her again." in- terrupted Pip. Because before that's going to happen. I’ll have the handcuffs on her. You want to know something about her. eh? Well—horn’s this, for a start? She tried to murder me yesterday in a train."

"Tried to murder you?” repeated Rupert, slowly. "Why should she do that?”

"Because she's 'wanted'—she knew I was after her. And she’d do the same to you, if you got in her way! And to anybody else. 8he'd tell you to quit first, and then. If you didn—!” Suddenly Pip advanced close to Rupert, and tapped him on the shoulder. "That's why I tell you to quit, sir! Leave this to us. I made a mistake this morning in asking somebody else to help me catch her. she's that slippery, and I’m beginning to get worried about him.” He glanced behind him toward the gate, then turned back and stared at the house. "Fancy her trying to hide in an empty house! Mug’s game!”

"Possibly,” remarked Rupert, dry- ly. “but aren't you a bit of a mug yourself, staying here talking to me while this—this murderess gets away?”

Again the dull flush appeared on Pip's checks.

"D'you suppose I ain’t got my people posted?” tie snapped. "I know my business!”

'Tm sure you do.” answered Ru- pert. "You know it so well that, although you're only a detective's assistant, you carry both a revolver and handcuffs about with you. I'll take the revolver for granted— but may I see the handcuffs?”

The dull flush now burst into its full glory.

“You think you're smart, don't you?” exclaimed Pip, angrily. "You quit this—or there'll be trouble!”

“You quit, you little liar—or there'll be more trouble!"

Pip may have had his unintelli- gent moments, but this was not one of them. A change had come over the young man he had been talking to, and he perceived that the trouble referred to was very imminent. Hastily muttering something unintelligible, he turned and hurried to the gate before a clenched fist made this exit impos- sible. and a few seconds later the town of the clenched fist saw him turn to the left—had he turned to the right, he would have been fol- lowed in a flash—and was sur-

prised to hear an engine starting ip)

"So he arrived in a car?” thought Rupert. "How the devil did he come up without our hearing him?” Now Rupert ran to the gate him- self. and was Just in time to see the car disa pearing towards the

village. Then he looked in the other direction—the direction taken by Mias Marlowe when she had doubled back—and noticed that the lane had an upward gradient.

! "He must have let out his clutch and free-wheeled down that,” he reflected. "Wanted to be quiet, eh?” The confoundtd little eel!”

Well, what next? The door un- der the staircase? Or Joscelyn Marlowe? Joscelyn won, without even a debate, for the one impera- tive thing in Rupert's life now was to get in touch with her again, and to stick by her until she re- vealed the truth.

He satisfied his conscience, how- ever. by gong back to the house and closing the front door. There was no need to advertise his call there to the world.

He was Just preparing to set off in his car along the old mine road when a voice hailed him from be- hind. He turned to see Charlie's rotund form speeding towards him on the bicycle again.

"Hallo, Charlie!” he cried. "Any news?”

“Yes—and bad.” panted Charlie. She never turned up.” He gave the news as though he

were announcing the end of the world.

"Well, probably she found she couldn't get away, after all” sug- gested Rupert, consolingly. "It mayn't be significant—'*

“It is significant!” insisted Charlie, with distress in his tone. She proposed that appontment

herself—she wanted it—she'd have come along. I know, unless some- thing bad had prevented her.”

"In that case, old chap, why didn't you go back to Moor View?*

"I did!” retorted Charlie, indig- nant at his friend's constant lack of faith in him. "As a matter of fact. I’d hardly got inside the shop before I decided not to wait here, but to go and meet er. so I went out again and hired this old bike once more, and ambled along to- wards her house. I didn’t meet her.”

"She may have come another way.”

“Yes. but wait. When I got to her house. I decided to go in bold- ly and ask for her. You see. when Id left before, that rascal Brill had been there—I ought never to have left—I ought to have hung around —Lord, what a fool I was!”

"Nonsense," replied Rupert. "We’ll put this right, whatever it is. But look here, old chap—stick your bi- cycle in the shed, will you. ai« then jump in the car. We’ve got another job on. and you can tell me the rest of your story enroute.”

Charlie obeyed gloomily. Then, as the car began to move, pro- ceeded:

“Half way up the garden, I saw the professor coming out of the house. He seemeo very excited, and so was I. We both made rather fools of ourselves—somehow I was too worried to be tactful— and I made a bad beginning by blurting out: 'Can I see your daughter?’ The old chap stared at me and then astonished me by shouting: No. you can’t!* I expect I'd astonished him almost as much by my silly, blunt quetsion—be- cause, after all. I was only a stranger they'd just met. and I must have sounded a bit peremp- tory. However, I was in it by now, so held on. Why?’ I asked Isn't she here?’ The question seemed to worry him tremendously—almost to —to frighten him. He blinked, then glared at me like a lion, and ex- claimed: Why shouldn't she be here? Of course, she’s here! But she can't see you—or anyone!” What d'you make of that?”

"Sounds a bit queer.” replied Ru- pert. "Go on.”

"Then he swings round, and goes back into the house, and slams the door after him. And I know as surely as I know I’ve got two eyes that she isn’t in the house, and that her father's lying. But_I couldn’t march up to the door and tell him so, could I?**

•’Hardly. What did you do?” “Well, I did the obvious thing.

If she wasn't in the house, she’d

i be outside the house, and outside the house I'd have to look for her. Your own idea occurred to me then, i

too—p'r'aps she'd gone to the tea

shop by another road. So I pedaled back as fast as I could, and barged into the shop again. But she wasn't there, and. when I inquired. I was told that no one had been there at all since I left. Then I came on here—and that's all. And do you know what I think?"

"What?’’ • Brill's got her—and it s her bed-

room that will be empty tonight.” “What! With a couple of stout

fellows like us on the trail?" re- torted Rupert, forcing a cheerful- ness into his voice which he did not feel. Don't you believe It. my lad! Well find her!"

•‘We've got to." muttered Charlie, and then suddenly asked. "Mean- while. what are you dong now?"

•’Now? Now we're looking for somebody else. Celia Cunningham isn't the only lady who needs us.

you know. Joscelyn Marlow’s somewhere along this rood. and. by Jove, we've got to find her. too!

Why—look!" he broke off. excited- ly. "There she Is!"

A little way ahead of them, standing by the roadside, was Jos- celyn Mariowe. She had been bending down, looking at some-

thing when Rupert had first caught sight of her, but as the car approached she straightened herself and turned. The car slow- ed down and stopped.

“I'm* glad you've come." said Joscelyn gravely. "I've—found something."

Rupert and Charlie Jumped quickly from the ear as she turned again and pointed towards the hedge. Between the hedge and the lane was a deep, water-logged ditch, and lying in the ditch, face downwards, was a still figure. But

1 though the facew as not visible. 1 both Rupert and Charlie knew that they were staring at the life- less form of Ted. the laborer.

Health and Right Living BY ROYAL R COKLAJO. M. D. Former ( ommWoo*r of Health. |

Once In a while congress turns aside from Its ordinary performances and devotes a few minutes to the discussion of matters having to do mith the health of the people. When in one of these happy moods it passed the following resolution:

"Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America In congress as-

sembled. that the president of the United States is hereby authorized and requested to issue annually a

proclaamtion setting apart May 1 of each year as child health day and inviting all agencies and organ- izations Interested in child welfare to united upon that day In the ob- servance of such exercises as will awaken the people of the nation to the fundametnal necessity of a year- round program for the protection and development of the health of the nations children.

By authority of this act of con-1 gress. the president proclaimed chnc ! health day this year. May day. j which has always been given to the children, will this year and eacn I year foiolwing be observed as na- tional play day. Recreation and J playground associations and all lov- ! ers of children have applied their every effort to make child health day this year the best celebration of the sort we have ever had.

President Hoover has always been interested in the children.

He is really the founder of the practice of devoting a day each year to the welfare of the youngsters If I remember correctly, he is the author of what we call “The Child s Bill of Rights." Just as Mr. Jeffer- son is the author of the Political Bill of Rights, the present president proposed a national standard for the protection of child life. We shall be happy when there will be no child in America:

■ That has not been bom under proper conditions.

That does not live in hygienic surroundings.

That ever suffers from under- nourishment.

That does not have prompt and efficient medical attention and inspection.

That does not receive primary Instruction in the elements of hy- giene and good health.

That has not the complete birthright of a sound mind in a sound body.

That has not the encouragement to express in fullest measure the

I spirit within which is the final endowment of every human be- ing I have never failed to be thank-

ful that I mas born in the country. | There we find open spaces and room for the many activities so dear to the child's heart. In the city there !

Is a real problem when it comes to recreation and play. Apartment houses and great hotels take all the space that might be given over to ball fields and playgrounds. But there are children problems every- where and they must be solved.

In every sense the child is the cor- nedstone of the nation. Unless we I can guarantee to our children that the bill of rights shall be something more than a proclamation, me have
