The girl who could inspire a baseball team to dig the tall, tough grass from a vacant school lot to make a diamond; who dared to remind a governor that his lunch was getting cold; who didn't hesitate to befriend two unpopular youngsters—this girl has become the first lady of the land. The lines taken from one of the Victorian poets about "beautiful hands are those that do things that are noble and brave and true," frequently have a way of working themselves out in real life. Perhaps in this instance it was just such copy-book maxims that assisted in inspiring Lou Henry in those early days of schoolgirl enthusiasms. Possibly, the fact that she grew up in the California town named in honor of John Greenleaf Whittier had its unconscious advantages. Let the students of sociology decide, if they can. Wherever the impulses originated, the fact remains that the schoolgirl friends of Mrs. Herbert Hoover remember her as possessed of the qualities of mind and heart that often lead to high places. William P. Briggs, now ninety-two years old, remembers the little girl, long hair braided, dressed in a hunting-suit that her father had specially ordered from distant Iowa. "It was unlike any suit bearing that name today," the old pioneer recollects. "It had its long skirt, and a little round hat went with it. The hat some way used to get knocked off as Lou prowled through the hills and fields, so she put a rubber-band on it, and snapped it under her chin. She had a practical mind when it came to clothes. "She was a determined girl, too. I The town of Whittier, California, was first founded by sturdy Quakers seeking a place to live and advantages for their children under the blue skies of California. The town was still young, its streets were but paths through the mustard fields, when the Henrys moved in from Waterloo, Iowa. The Whittier of today, grown prosperous from the citrus fruits and the oil wells that dot the region, recalls No. 349 South Painter avenue, where the Henrys lived. The little cottage forty years ago served as a station on the road to the White House. As a healthy, lively girl, Lou Henry grew to early maturity in the normal atmosphere of a small town.

"When she was restored by a dash of cold water, she was out of sorts with herself for what she seemed to think was a lack of courage. It was right after that that she took up hunting, maybe as a nerve tonic! Whatever the reason, the friendship of father and daughter in those long afternoon walks was a wonderful example to the whole town." The lessons learned in the hours spent on the playgrounds are said to have as much or greater influence than those spent at dusk or blackboard. At least Walter E. Butler, now escrow officer of the Whittier Home Savings Bank, can not forget an incident that he remembers when at the Bailey Street School Lou Henry had the courage to befriend two Negro lads, smaller and younger than she. They had become the target for an increasing amount of petty persecution. To the school the Negro boys had to go, but each day found it harder. "Especially Joe," Mr. Butler recalled. "He could hardly endure the all too pointed taunts. I remember one day during recess, when Lou, unable to stand the apparent injustice of the barbed remarks, rushed to Joe's assistance when she found him sobbing. Her gesture was enough to encourage the little fellow and to discourage the others. She said but little, yet she did all she could to see that the youngsters, Joe and Charlie, were not longer abused." It was during those school days that the need of a baseball team became noticed. The Bailey Street School wanted a chance to demonstrate its prowess and skill on the diamond. But athletic fields were then unknown. It was hopeless to play baseball in mustard fields.

One of the delightful contributions to the M.I. Average Reader's library is the "The New Science Series" now being published by W. W. Norton and Sons. "Prodigal Sons" is a brilliant addition to this helpful series. In a concise and keenly thought-provoking manner, the author boldly argues that prodigality tends to equalize the conflicting economic powers in our present industrialized civilization. Contrary to popular belief, he asserts that republican or representative government is vanishing and that in substance we are more or less tending again toward such theories as the "divine right of kings." The book is written with a dash that makes its 103 pages seem like 10. It is lucid and brimming over with brilliantly mischievous ideas. MODERN CIVILIZATION. OUR CHANGING CIVILIZATION.

The Paris Pepper-Pot is on page 7 this week. past, present and future of the present machine age. In the first chapter of "Our Changing Civilization' he states the situation which in later chapters he treats philosophically and scientifically. He goes about his task in a very neatly chronological order—stating the problem, treating it, then concluding with the logical results of his analysis. In chapter XII, Mr. Randall very convincingly destroys the old puritanical notions about sex. Accurately it is said that for better or worse puritanism is giving way to a sexual attachment that lasts only as long as love remains. Waiving all controversy on such exceedingly tenuous illusions as love, it cannot be denied that the modern relations between the sexes is becoming increasingly less fettered by outgrown traditions and false modesties. The question of sex is now being treated in unprecedented voluminousness—with both intelligence and prudishness. It is a pleasure to welcome the brief but decisive treatment of so eminent a thinker as Mr. Randall. This book leaves little if anything to be desired, for a clear lucid analysis of our highly machinized civilization.

Manufactured by THE BRUNSWICK-BALKE-COLLENDER CO., Chicago New Color Combinations for Milady New Color Combinations for Milady After a season in which individual jewels of enormous size and brilliance were the declared favorites of fashion, costume sets are again very much in vogue, at least for day wear. In other words, all of the jewelry worn at one time is to be of the same design and color. For the French couturiers are more determined than ever that jewels, like lace and furs, shall be mere phrases in the general theme of the ensemble—not whole solos in themselves. The day when a woman was set adrift with the latest Paris model, to enhance or mar its effect according to her own choice of accessories, is fast drawing to a close. Now, the smartest shops leave nothing to the imagination. With each gown or street costume are displayed all of the correct accompaniments, so that if a woman errs in this respect it must be deliberately, usually out of sheer waywardness inspired by too much fashion dictation. This season everything has been carefully worked out in definite color combinations. There are several of these which are seen again and again in the new spring fashions: Electric blue with jade green, sealing-wax red and white, orange-red and amber, smoky blue and yellow green, and black and white, as always, popular. Sometimes the two colors are combined in the fabric of the costume, which starts in one color and ends in another, but more frequently the fabric is in one color and the accessories—with particular emphasis on the jewelry—are in the other color. As an instance of the first, there is the white and red silk and wool sports suit recently chosen by a fashionable New York woman for wear at a Riviera resort. It consisted of a flared skirt with a cardigan jacket in white, with a white jumper underneath having modernistic zigzag blocks in brilliant red silk. The accessories selected for July 27, 1929 this model included a white felt hat with a red enamel feather pin; a white felt andbag with the same sort of red feather clasp; a white silk parasol with a red crooked handle; white stockings and red sandals, and a striking set of costume jewelry—a necklce, two bracelets, earrings and finger ring—all in the same brilliant red enamel triangles over gold, interspersed with small white crystal rondelles. 1920 Blemishes and Freckles All Disappear!

GoldenPeacock Bleach Creme THE CREEPING THING A Story of Gruesome and Haunting Mystery July 27, 1929 THE A Story SYNOPSIS SYNOPSIS A series of murders in the mysterious octogonal tower room of Selwyn House have been preceded by sounds as of some monstrous creeping reptile. These murders have been further complicated by the missing bodies of the victims. Ezra Selwyn and his Haitian serving woman have been found murdered, and when their bodies are about to be removed by the undertaker they are found to be missing. His unknown Haitian nephew, Garland Selwyn, has appeared on the scene at about this time. The last person murdered is Alene Hardmore, mysterious and giant-sized woman detective. Her body, guarded by Tom Frederick and his friend Alec Jonas, two defectives who are engaged in clearing up the mystery, has been moved to the undertaking establishment of Al Jarton, Frederick's friend. Here, a peculiar reluctance of the coroner, Dr. Varanit, to allow a close examination of the scalped head of the victim, had led Frederick to an attempt to make the examination secretly. The presence of an Indian scalping knife on the floor by the body of an earlier victim has a very significant bearing on the case. —NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY— INSTALMENT VI X HE sheer shock of surprise held me motionless for a breath. My eyes, glued unbelievingly to that small black weapon, gradually apperceived the hand that held it steadily and truly trained on my heart. It was reddish yellow in color. In that single moment of conscious perception, before my eyes travelled with the speed of light to the face above, I knew whose face it was. Garland Selwyn's strangely penetrating black eyes, with a suggestion of that sinister power one sees in the eyes of the magicians of the east, looked steadily into mine. I felt an involuntary shiver of some emotion, whether of fear or repulsion I could not myself define, go quivering along my spine. But, with my long years of training where life itself might be the price of the batting of an eye or the flicker of an eyelash, I knew that no slightest indication of my inner feelings reached the surface. The big room was dim with gloomy shadows. The single domed light set high in the middle of the ceiling left the corners in darkness and our faces stood out like indistinct blobs of color. This fact alone gave some semblance of probability to the man's words as he lowered the weapon: "Oh, it's you, Mr. Frederick, is it?" There was just a shade too much of emphasis on the note of surprise he injected into the question—the modicum of over-stressing, that told my trained ear that the emotion was merely a simulation of reality. I looked at the man through narrow slitted eyes, judging, weighing—before I spoke in answer. "From your reception it would seem to be a lucky chance that I am I," I said, with calculated emphasis on MY GREA my words, "and not anyone else,who might be inclined to question your right to be here and demand your authority for bearing fire-arms and menacing a peaceful individual in the pursuance of his duty with the same." Garland Selwyn gave me some indication of his versatile personality and his quick-witted presence of mind in his next action and his reply. He smiled. It was the smile of one who would generously allow his antagonist the decision in a close bout, yet it had something unconvincing in its quality of sincerity. Pocketing his automatic he advanced and held out his hand to me saying, as I surrendered mine to the grip of his singularly powerful fingers, "That question would be perfectly in order, Mr. Frederick. And to save you the embarrassment of asking it I will answer it first." He dropped my hand and with one of the most easily and well executed maneuvers I have ever witnessed, inserted himself between me and the body of Alene Hardmore where it lay with uncovered head on the cooling slab of the morgue. Reaching out with a matter-of-fact gesture and one that there could be no possible reason for interfering with, he pulled the white shrouding sheet up over the still, ebony black face of the dead woman before continuing his conversation. "My right to be here is easily traceable to my personal interest in solving the mystery of the horrible deaths in my uncle's home, and as his next of kin, to any possible solution of the disappearance of his body and incidentally of the body of his servant. Besides, that right is bolstered up, if you will allow the use of the provincialism, by verbal consent on the part of Mr. Jarton, the undertaker, to my request that I be allowed to stand guard over the body of the latest victim of the mysterious horror known to all of us 'The Creeping Thing' of the Octagonal Tower of Selwyn House. At my request my presence here was known only to the two of us. "As to the firearm, that is a necessary precaution easily established in any court of law, and especially permissible when used in the character of watchman on these premises by order and under the personal supervision of the owner. "The third point, menacing a peaceful individual—well, peacefulness of intent may only be established by proof of that intent in action. You must allow, I am sure, that, to one observing your actions from the vantage point of my position at the time of your entrance, there was no conclusive evidence that your intention was peaceful. In fact the ordinary observer might have been pardoned for coming to an exactly opposite conclusion. Had you been anyone else than yourself I feel quite free to admit that I should have felt compelled to report your actions to Dr. Varant and—probably, or I should say, positively, turn you over to the custody of the court. However—" He smiled again. This time the smile implied something more of tolerant courtesy to a misled guest who was persisting in making a great nuisance of himself to a sorely tried host. The pose irritated me. But—I knew that irritation was the worst sort of preparation for dealing competently with the sort of problem I had before me. I shrugged slightly and—smiled back at Garland Selwyn. If there was a grim reservation in that smile of mine, the man bowing suavely before me as he blocked the way between me and the secret that I had come there to discover, did not seem to notice it, or if he did, did not do it the honor of considering it. I was blocked at every turn. But I had been blocked before and had triumphed in the end. It simply meant that I had to take another way around to reach my goal, but reach it, I would. "Your reasoning is flawless, Mr. Selwyn," I returned, not to be outdone in courteous phraseology. "I SOLIDARITY At the street door I paused to light my cigarette.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION KEEPING T me and Haunting At the street door I paused to lift Dr. Varant's car rounding fartl admit the reasonableness of your presence, the perfectly excusable error and the permissibility of your weapon. But since you are also acquainted with my integrity and the official interest I have in the case in point, I take it that you could have no possible objection to my examination of the body, there, under your personal scrutiny, of course." I nodded, and took a half step forward, still smiling. But something seemed to drop, masklike, over the face of the man whose body interposed itself between me and the cadaver. The smile was no longer in his eyes. His face went to a peculiar greenish yellow and his eyes were grim with sudden purpose. "The body may only be examined on orders from the court," he said. "Have you such orders?" "No." My reply was briefly conclusive. His manner stiffened. "Then, I cannot permit you to ex- amine the body." He bowed, again his suave self. "If, perhaps, you should present such orders in the course of the morning—" There was mockery somewhere hidden in the courteous promise and smooth politeness of those innocent appearing words. I wheeled shortly, and with a murmur of half-hearted appreciation for the implied advice, went out. "Say, Ben," I said casually as I paused in the front office on my way out, "why didn't you tell me that Haitian Selwyn guy was on guard back there in the ice-box." The look of incredulous surprise that spread over Ben's brown, good-natured face, was sufficient answer to the question in my mind. He did not know that Garland Selwyn was back there in that weird company of the dead—had been ignorant of it when he sent me back. Even now the only significance that it bore for him was in its possible effects on his job. Jarton had told him that Dr. Varant 8 had ordered the body to be held in a sort of post-mortem incommunicado. Could his permission to an old friend and one whom he knew to have official connection with this case and many other cases of even greater importance in the world at large, be a possible breach of duty? Would his allowing me to go into the morgue alone be considered of suffi- (Continued on page seven) This Week's Puzzle Comic KEY TO COMIC Start line at point L 1, L 2, I 5, G 6, H 6, H 8, J 11, M 13, N 13, O 10, N 13, P 11, P 10, R 8, P 10, S 10, P 10, O 9, N 9, N 8, —F S—O 9, O 6, N 6, N 7, M 6, K 6, J 8, I 7, H 7, H 6, K 5, M 5, N 6, O 6, O 2, P 1, —F S—O 8, P 8, Q 7, S 7, T 9, U 9, U 11, S 12, R 14, L 13, D 15, B 15, F 20, E 20, I 20, I 21, H 22, I 22, I 23, H 24, H 26, H 24, D 26, B 24, C 21, D 21, E 19, D 18, A 20, A 25, C 26, O 26, X 24, V 20, W 22, X 22, Z 20, Z 15, Y 15, V 14, X 15, Y 16, Y 18, X 20, U 20, V 19, U 20, T 19, V 18, T 19, S 18, U 17, V 17, V 16, S 16, S 15, V 15, V 14, X 10, V 11, R 14, —F S—H 16, F 15, F 13, G 11, H 11, I 10, I 9, J 9, I 10, —F S—H 14, K 13, K 17, —F S—M 17, M 13, P 15, —F S—K 9, K 11, L 10, —F S—L 8, L 9, M 8, L 8, —F S—L 11, L 12, M 12, M 11, L 11, —F S—M 20, O 25, —F S—P 12, Q 13.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION NE of the prettiest women I ever saw was the most unpleasant to look at. Nature had given her wonderful eyes, and features that were very beautiful, but in spite of all this I remember her only with a wave of disgust. Her teeth ruined all her good looks. Bad teeth, or dirty teeth will do this for any girl or woman, and the most handsome man loses his good looks when his mouth shows a row of broken, dirty snags for teeth. Very few people give the teeth the care they should. They do not visit the dentist as they should because they fear the pain they expect him to cause them. So they let the months go by; after awhile a tiny break comes in the tooth, it spreads, and grows into a hole. After awhile a shell breaks off, leaving a decaying root, and then the dentist has to dig to get it. Of course it hurts, but if that tiny hole had been given attention at the start there would have been no pain, and the tooth would have been saved. Many a sufferer from persistent headaches has been cured by the dentist. Severe cases of stomach trouble are constantly being cured, not by taking medicine, but by having old and decaying teeth removed. A skillful dentist rarely causes the patient much pain. Modern methods have made it possible for him to remove teeth quickly, and without much pain. It is only the patient who has failed to care for the teeth who really suffers. If you have delayed and have let your teeth break off into the gums, you should go about getting them cleaned up at once. Delay will not help you, and may lead to serious trouble. Besides draining poison into the system and ruining the skin—making it pimply and sore—there are many other serious results from such teeth. Many cases of cancer of the mouth have been known to result from old stubs of teeth. Care of the teeth and gums is neither expensive nor time-taking.

Alexander Dumas Was Student of Human Nature and One of The World's Most Original Thinkers July 27. 1929 LEXANDER Dumas, fils, last of the great Dumases, was the foremost French dramatist of the LEXANDER Dumas, fils, last of the great Dumases, was the foremost French dramatist of the nineteenth century, and one of the most original thinkers of all time. To him, perhaps, more than any other writer who ever lived, belongs the honor of bringing realism to the stage. With his genius he completely changed the course of the French theatre, turning it away from empty romance and sounding phrase to life, to serious thought and purpose. Dumas' unvarying theme was love, and he ranks as one of the greatest analysts of that passion. No secret of the love-life was hid from him. Like a deep-sea diver he explored the recesses of the human heart and held up what he found, to the gaze of the world. Great Sorrow. Dumas' early life was marred by a great sorrow, and this, acting on a keenly sensitive nature, did more than anything else to influence his career. Life has many mysterious ways of accomplishing ends. When it has some great destiny in store for us, it usually awakens us by wounding us, sometimes very deeply. And yet Dumas' sorrow was one that is regarded as ordinary by millions of individuals: He was illegitimate. His father, the great novelist, had begotten him by an humble dressmaker named Marie Labay. At the time, the elder Dumas was hardly out of his teens, and was earning less than five dollars a week. At boarding school, the boys cruelly taunted the shy and intensely proud Alexander about his birth. Perhaps that was their revenge for the fact that he so far outshone the cleverest of them. But whatever it was, the torment caused him to reflect on love and marriage—until he stood without a peer as a writer on both. At the age of nine, his father, who was then winning considerable success as a dramatist, gave him his name and took him under his care. But the wound never healed—happily for humanity. The elder Dumas took the boy into the best salons of the day, where he astonished the elite with his vivacity, his wit, penetration, and originality. He took him also on his tours through Europe and North Africa. Brilliant Idler. With his father earning so much wealth, young Dumas became a brilliant idler. Then an incident happened that threw him into literature. One morning he awoke to find himself penniless. His creditors, descending on him, had seized everything he had. He owed ten thousand dollars—a great sum in those days. His father, spending two or three times his earnings, was in practically the same position, too. Young Dumas' debut into literature is best told in his own words: "I found myself one day," he said, "sitting sadly on a cane-seated chair before a white wooden table in a miserably furnished room of the hotel where I had taken refuge. I had been driven out of my elegant apartment with everything seized and sold." Began as a Writer. "I gave myself up to bitter reflection and mechanically I opened the drawer of the table. Inside were some stamped papers and a pad of writing paper evidently forgotten there by the last occupant. I took out the pad, and as I had no occupation and did not know what else to do, I decided to become an author, and started to write." And he wrote until he became the foremost writer of his time—wrote until he had won an immense fortune. Success, however, did not come with a rush. Indeed, time and again he threw down his manuscripts re- "I decided to become an author and started to write." ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION solved never to touch them again. solved never to touch them again. His first work—a book of poems—attracted some attention, but not overmuch. Later when he became famous, lucky were the ones who owned a copy of the first edition of this work. The book collectors offered a high price for them. His next work, "The Sins of His Youth," won more success. He and his father had tasted together deeply of life in the underworld of Paris. The book was largely a recital of incidents in his own life. Camille, His Masterpiece This was followed by his masterpiece, "Camille." As a novel, it went well, but as a play—its most effective form—the difficulties with it seemed endless. The story of how this novel was turned into a play is interesting. Again it is a question of money. One day Dumas found himself penniless in Marseilles. The idea came to him to turn the book into a play, and he sat down and with a single spurt dashed off the first three acts "without an erasure." Returning to Paris, he finished the rest in five days. Finally, a theatre accepted it. But when all was ready, the censors stepped in and barred it. Through the influence of a friend, he triumphed over the censors, then the theatre failed, followed soon after by the death of his leading lady. Next he tried to interest Lecont, leading actor of the day. But the latter returned the manuscript a few days later greasy and smelling of tobacco with the haughty comment: "Never would I play such rot." Lecont lived to regret this. Disappointment ALEXANDER DUMAS III by J.A.ROGERS manuscript in the bottom of an old drawer, feeling sure that it would never be played. But destiny was yet to have its fling. One day, months later, Dumas was walking on the boulevards when he spied an old friend, who invited him to have a drink. While sitting on the terrace, the actor, Bouffe, happening to pass, spied Dumas and came to speak to him. The conversation turned on the rejected play, and Bouffe, saying that he would soon take Lecont's place, promised to do what he could But Bouffe seemed to forget all about his promise. Months passed. Then the theatre at which he played was about to fail for lack of a good play. He thought of Dumas, and mentioned his play. The manager, rather dubious, finally agreed to try it, and after other difficulties it was finally presented. Success—at Last Its success was instantaneous, and it was solid, too, for "Camille" has held the stage until this day. Some of the most noted actresses have played it, among them being Sarah Barnhardt and Descele. "Camille" is also one of the foremost of the operas. It has been adapted for the cinema, the late Rudolph Valentino, playing the part of Armand Duval. From this time on Dumas was famous. His father, too, had taken to novel writing, and was earning millions. Both stood on the top of the literary world. Each loved the other tenderly and yet no two men could be less alike in disposition. The elder Dumas was gay, jolly, always in good humor; 5 an expansive, easy-going and candid soul—an immoralist. Strict Moralist The younger was reserved and inclined to haughtiness, a stern moralist, an apostle of duty. He believed that his mission was to reform mankind and lead it into the path of right doing. Most of all, he believed in fidelity to the marriage vow, and insisted that the husband had a right to punish with his own hand the man who took his wife. One consoled humanity by telling it wonderful tales; the other lashed it for its sins and called it to repentance. The father said of the son: "Alex-(Continued on page six) WOULD YOU LIKE TO INCREASE YOUR WEEKLY EARNINGS?

ONE of the most original of the Paris cabarets is Le Neant. But whether you'll enjoy Le Neant or not is going to depend on yourself. If you can't laugh at yourself, you won't. Le Neant means "nothing," emptiness—death. The old Romans at their feasts used to have a human skull in the centre of the table. This was to remind the guests that death was the end of all, so why not eat, drink, and be merry while one was able to do so? Le Neant carries the idea a step further. Let's drop into Le Neant for a drink. No, we take that back. That part about the drink is a criminal suggestion, and this column is law-abiding, if nothing else. But here's the problem. If we go in we'll have to take something. Well, what about a bottle of pop or some nearbeer? No, that won't do either. The waiter will think us crazy, not that will help. We're Americans and he's going to think us crazy anyhow. But the readers of this column, like the writer, are self-respecting and dignified folk. We like to be highly thought of. We know that in Rome one should do as the Romans do, in order to be liked. If we go in we'll have to order that drink. Ah, but need we drink it? A brilliant idea at last! We'll order whiskey and soda. The whiskey will come in a tall glass, and the soda in a siphon (pronounced, see-fung), we'll throw the whiskey under the table, when no one's looking, and drink from the siphon. And so we'll preserve both our dignity and our reputation as law-abiding citizens. Feeling sure that we can trust everybody to throw that vile liquor under the table, in we go to Le Neant. Passing through the black painted entrance, we step down and enter a dark room. We are conducted to a table, and when our eyes get accustomed to the surroundings we see that we are seated at a coffin, while the undertaker himself, in black coat and high hat is standing over us, ready to bring us our particular kind of poison. Before taking the order, he hands you a mirror? You take one look in By J. A. ROGERS it and you're convinced that you haven't long to live. Your tongue! No human tongue ever looked like that before. Since death is so near, poison won't matter. Because of the strange light around you, the faces of your companions also have a comical and unearthly look. When the undertaker brings your drink, he informs you that it is poison. Then a coffin suddenly pops open and out flies a skeleton; the pictures on the wall suddenly fade, and skeletons appear in their places. After this you follow another undertaker through a long, black passage where you are placed in a coffin, and where before the eyes of your friends all the flesh and clothing suddenly seem to leave your body and you become a skeleton. You remain there a few moments, and then in some mysterious way you slowly come back in your living form. All very strange and clever. If you're looking for novelty, Le Neant is the place. But if your nerves are "creepy" you'll be glad to find yourself once more among the throng of pleasure-seekers on the Boulevard de Clichy. The Boulevard de Clichy is the 42nd and Broadway of Paris. Most of the night life of Paris centers around it, and most of the colored folks from the States, too. If you hear that some friend from the States is in Paris, just circulate around this boulevard from the Moulin Rouge down Rue Pigalle as far as the Flea Pit, and it's a hundred to one shot you'll encounter him or her, at least twice during the night. Most of the colored folk live in this neighborhood. There is a surprising number of them, and it is increasing every year.

They won't hurt you. But if you see any of the trap-door kind, call me. I want to catch them for my collection! "The work didn't stop for anything. Some one suggested to Lou that the mustard should be cleared off in every direction as far as a ball could be thrown by the school's best pitcher. The result was that we boys and girls—all of us—had to clear about five acres before we could satisfy Lou that we were thoroughly loved to the school." It was a red-letter day for Whittier when the town was selected as a location for a state school for boys and girls with a penchant for getting a false start in life. The little town found itself with the eyes of the whole state focused upon it. The governor, H. M. Markham, turned toward Whittier, where he was to preside in the laying of the cornerstone. Lou was nearing sixteen then. She was on the local program for the opening number—Miss Columbia singing The Star Spangled Banner. Mrs. Emily Starbuck remembers the day "Lou and I," she relates, "had been chosen to wait upon the Governor's table at the luncheon, which was to follow the laying of the cornerstone. We had been rehearsed and admonished as to our almost sacred office until Lou, a trifle out of patience, exclaimed: 'Oh, I feel trained to wait on the table of the President of the United States!' "The luncheon was to be served in a barn, first building completed of the school, group. Twelve o'clock, HOW TO MAKE LEMONADE Most people like lemonade, but not so many appreciate what a valuable beverage it is. Lemon juice actually has an alkaline effect when taken into the body, and helps to prevent or to cure acidity. There is a little secret about lemonade making that every one should know—dissolve the sugar in the water before adding the lemon juice. Try this and see what a difference it makes. Take the juice of half a dozen lemons, about a cup of sugar and six cups of cold water. Put sugar in dish, add iced-water, stir until sugar is dissolved, then add lemon juice and serve immediately.

His Excellency, the Governor, was graciously listening to speeches about what this school would do to reform wayward boys and girls. "This delay caused Lou to worry. This delay caused Lou to worry. "She left the barn and when she came back she had Governor Markham in tow. She had gone up to him, amid all the speechmaking, and had whispered in his ear that she was afraid that the feast—roast beef, potatoes, bread and butter, two kinds of pie, squash, and custard—would spoil. "The effect was immediate! Governor Markham excused himself and went back with Lou. And this, of course, started the others. The long-delayed luncheon was served as a result." Mr. Henry, Lou's father, was Whittier's first banker. After school she would help her father with his books and then they would both go off for their long walks. Many an early resident of Whittier remembers the athletic girl who would leave school promptly and head for the bank, stopping perhaps on the way to get some peppermints at the drug store. After the day's balances were completed, father and daughter turned toward the hills. It was undoubtedly upon such long walks that her interest in geology, which later brought her wide recognition, grew. After school graduation, Mr. Henry's business interests were transferred to Monterey and Lou Henry left Whittier, going thence to Normal School in San Jose, then through Stanford University, and on out into a great world of adventure that led to the White House.

And the order is superb. No rough stuff anywhere. Go into all but a few of the "tough" places in Paris, indeed in any European city, and you'll be surprised at the atmosphere of politeness. It is amusing to watch some Americans when they enter places of this sort for the first time—we are not speaking now of the Bal du Moulin Rouge, but other places. They feel that they must cut up and carry on just as they would do in similar places in the States. The fact is that all these "joints" in Paris are under strict police supervision. The least winking at disorder, and bang! would go up the shutters of the proprietor, perhaps forever. French law is liberal, but strictly enforced; American law is illiberal but not enforced, hence America's greater record of vice and crime. That is to say, French law makes a greater allowance for certain human failings, but apart from that, it is strictly enforced. American law, on the other hand, endeavors to keep the citizen in one eternal Sunday-school, thus bringing about a greater revolt of human instincts. * * * There is much in Europe that is not considered crime as in America.
