It may not be included in the curriculum as a spe cial stndy, but every teacher will be ordered to keep it in mind with everything he or she teaches. Conferences have been held by superintendents and other officials of the educational system with a view to introducing plain honesty to the students. A system has been evolved which it is expected will be followed in all of the schools. Associate Superintendent Clarence E. Meleney said this week that train ing in old-fashioned ethics for stu- ' dents is proving a bigger need every day. U it is necessary, he said, in tegrity will be taught as a special course, but he believed it could be . studied better in all courses which the students take. To Show Model Tenements. Cfcver models of the model tene- . ments which the Metropolitan Life Insurance company plans to build as its contribution toward solving the housing problem will be shown next week at the Queens exposition in As toria, Long Island City. The models are of buildings erected around a square, with every room opening to open air and sunlight. Urges Jewish Vigilance. All Jewish organizations were urged to join in the new session of the American Jewish congress to aid in the campaign for the protec- , tion of Jewish rights everywhere, in a statement issued by Nathan Straus. Mr. Straus has been re-elected as a delegate to the meeting, which opens May 21 at Philadelphia. "We are seeking the defense of the fair name of Israel," said Mr. Straus, "against attacks actuated by bigotry and racial prejudice, and our aims are so closely associated with the cause of justice that we should have . the support of all right-minded peo ple everywhere." Girls Ban Rolled Hose; Vaccinated on Knees ' . . .' Sistersville, W. Va., May 13. The mystery why rolled topped stockings only show when maidens of Sisters ville sit down has ""just been dis covered. v , A disease epidemic went the rounds here several months ago just when decollette evening gowns were much . the thing. Vaccination followed and everybody was vaccinated. . Rather than have a mark on their pretty arms, the girls and young ' women submitting to the treatment elected another part of their anatomy v i where the scar could not be seen. Decollette gowns are still in vogue, but roll-top hose and very ' short dresses never will be.' The girls were vaccinated on their knees. ' Radio Kiss Is Said to Be Greatest of Indoor Sports Seattle, Wash.. May 13. The radio kiss has been discovered by W. K. Romans of this city, and he says "it's the greatest of indoor sports." Romans made his discovery quite by accident and he claims no glory for the "invention." : He and Mrs. Romans were listening to a radio broadcasting' on two sets of ear phones in their home when one ter minal of each of the phones became dislodged. Romans' hand came in contact with that of his wife and the circuit became instantly re-estab- hshed. ' . . ' -Realizing what had happened, Romans reached over and kissed his wife. The concert which had been temporarily discontinued for the couple resumed immediately with the completion of the circuit through the contact of the lips. A , j Intelligent Hen Lays Egg Near Skillet on Gas Stove Mt. Vernon, 111., May 13. W. A. Kern of this town is the proud pos sessor of what he considers a most remarkable hen. "Intelligent?" he queried. "Why, ' that's mild. That hen is doggone clever. The Dther day there was a skillet on the gaa stove, and d'ye know what that intelligent hen o' mine did? She hopped up on the stove and laid the egg as close to the skillet as she could." ! - Doctor Fails to Revive f Snakes i With Electricity Lawrenceburg, Ind., May 13. When three dozen snakes rattlers," cottonmouths and other varieties were drowned by high water which flooded their pit at a carnival field here, a physician attempted to revive the reptiles by application of elec tricity. -It was a vain experiment, however. Two dozen alligators, assorted sizes, in the same pit, ap- pcarea to enjoy vac paw, LOVE AND LEARN (CeaMlsi fwa rate Me. looking up at him strangely, halt frightened, she took hit hand from behind her back and moved away from him along tht seat. Yet after moment her mind had fixed itself enrt mora upon the subject of her desire. "All right, well go, tela you and I," announced young Mr. Hancock with sudden resolution. "Joel" The girl started In credulously. "Not really? "Surest thing you know," declared Joe, managing benevolent smile. "But but it's an awful jam get ting there on the trains," she re minded him, perhaps artlessly, per baps suggestively. "This boat engaged for tomor row?" Joe called over the eat to the chauffeur. "Nope!" answered the driver. Thcn she is!" announced Joe quickly. Lela was breathless. "Joe! she gasped. "It'll cost you a for-r-tune." "Fortune's nothing." said Joe grandly, "if it's something you want to do, and he glanced into her eyes with the boldest look he had ever dared. The girl flushed and shifted her glance. She also shifted her thought quite , practically to the next prob lem. "But can you jjet ticket? I hear they're at a premium." "Five dollars apiece is all. said Joe loftily. "We can go that, I guess for one day's pleasure." Lela gazed once more at Joe in startled admiration. He was so strong and masterful. These were qualities in young Mr. Hancock she had never noticed before. Hitherto he had impressed her as a faithful, plodding sort of fellow, but there was there was a dash to him, really. He proved this by the way the miles were reeling off and the time ticking into hours, each a charge against his pocketbook, yet with nev er a hint of turning back from him. The long afternoon lengthened into dusk, and then turned in at the Mis sion Inn in San Marco for a long, leisurely and, to Lela, thoroughly de- lightlul runner. By a lingering nere and detouring there Joe managed to so delay the hour of their return to Mrs. McIIheney's till it was 100 o'clock when they rolled to her door. Half-past ten, so far as Mrs. Mc IIheney's charges were concerned, was curfew. From that moment for ward no visitors and no communica tion might be received. 'Thus was Joe's strategy revealed. By this poli cy of delay, although at enormous cost to himself, he had spiked Fat Franklin's guns for the day. That gloomy individual, waiting in his car beneath the shadows of a low hanging pepper tree just across the street from Mrs. McIIheney's eavesdropped their parting words with bitterness in his heart, yet with a sly grin upon his face because of something that he knew. "It has been a dream, a perfect dream," declared Lela with enthusi asm. . . "Nine o'clock tomorrow morning early start," Joe warned, and -at the same time thought to stimulate the eagerness of anticipation by re marking: "Plenty of funl Plenty of time for a little drive aroutfd besides, with a sandwich and a cup of tea somewhere on the way." . . "You darling!" bubbled Lela. "I'll be up with the 'morning glories." There was, however, on Joe's part no feeling ofvvast elation over this promise for tomorrow. It was just that he had won another move in a game of checkmate that was fool ish because the final triumph of his rival was already certain. Joe was even not quite determined just what he would do with Lela tomorrow, just how much of the track meet, how much of all tomorrow's oppor tunities she would taste He might administer some kind lesson to her, for he thought of her now quite without love, almost without sym pathy. She did. not have any affections, lie had decided only appetites for food and for pleasures generally. She was not bad, of course, but she was tust naively selfish, Joe reflected as he sauntered down to Kindred's pool room and cigar store combined. There in the last hours there were always a few tickets to be had for" any college affair, although at profiteer's prices. , But Doc Kindred shook his head tonight "Just got two in the safe, and they're sold to a fellow who is coming after them at 11 o'clock." This announcement was a distinct shock to Joseph Hancock, the tem peramental spendthrift. It put a crimp in his program at the most imnortant point. "And if he doesn't come?" Joe managed to inquire hopefully. "O. he'll come all right. He's one of the those guys that never likes to rt left " "Guess I'll sticlc around and. see if t he does," remarked Joe, as not en tirely convinced and noting by the clock that it was. now 10:48. "Bv ! the way, what you holding 'em at?" ! "Five dollars apiece," said Kin i dred. '. I TPs was what Joe had expected. I "I'll take a cigar." he decided, for : fxtravapance was fast becoming the i ha!it with him. ' He was just lighting a luxurious weed, his back to the door, when Fat came panting in. ; ' "Lo, Doc! I'll grab off those two tickets now." Kindred turned to the safe, while Fat, who took no note that the back bent over the cigar lighter belonged to Joseph Hancock, reached for a tiny pad of paper lyinsr upon the counter and scribbed an I. O. U. for $10 thereupon. "What's this?" demanded Doc, frowning at the scrap of paper on the glass of the showcase and with drawing the hand in which he had been extending a pair of laree and gaily strioed pasteboards. "I can't take no I. O. IPs for these tickets. I got to account with cash tomor row morning." "Well. I jrucss you can put up the Yoit itiow I'm .rood. You've taken by chits times enough before," un'Mcrcu rat. t But the merchant screwed up his wizened countenance into a most stubborn expression. "Monev talks!" he remarked test ilv. for Doc Kindred was another who did not like Fat. Besides, rieht there stood. a young man who had been inquiring for tick et" who had just fluntr down a $10 bill in payment for a 20 cent cigar and had pttled that bill from col lection of its fellows that he ex tracted from his trousers pocket As between cash and credit. Doe Kin dred was all for this picture backed kind ot paper. Ana josepn nu cock was just now nothing slow. "Here!" he said, snd skinned two 10s from off bis roll snd towed them on the show case. "I guess that's premium enough. I'll give yon $20 for the pair, not some time, but now I" There was a most exultant emphasis on the "now. Sad though his heart might be. Joe was discover ing that there was something posi tively exhilarating in , testing the power ol money. "You're on. boy I" said Kindred, thrusting the tickets into Joe's hand with a suddenness thst left the trans action instantly complete. Fat Franklin, before he saw his face, recognized the voice of the man who had once deluged him with soup and who today, probably through a stupid accident for he could not credit Joe with so much intelligence ss to have done the thing by design had upset some very cherished plans of his. Insulted by Kindred, whom he dared not assault. he turned to vent his rage on Joe Hancock. letting fly without a mo mcnt's hesitancy that fist he had had in pickle for him for more than six weeks now. It was an unexpected blow, so far as Joe was concerned; but the lad blocked With his lett and .crossed with his right, the right which was a j hard now as if it held a brick with in it. Fat Franklin experienced at first sensations of rude shick, then leaned against the counter and slid absently and limply into a sitting posture on the floor, where presently he dis covered himself, with legs strangely weak and three or four lellows with cues in their unemployed hands' try ing to lilt him by the arms. "Wha what happened?" he in quired dizzily. "You stopped a fast one with your chin, i should say. volunteered one of the first-aiders; "but you started the row, didn't you?" "Row?" inquired Fat vaguely. "Why, there wasn't any row. I just knocked the tar out of a buttinski roph," remembered Fat, haltingly and painfully. "Got your facts on wrong, Fat," cheered another of the relief oarty. "The soph knocked the tar out of you. He has just departed on our advice to beat it before some con scientious cop wanders in and makes trouble out ot a little difference be tween gentlemen. 'You'd better do the same. . "Departed with my tickets?" de manded Fat indignantly, recalling more of the painful circumstances. "With his tickets," intervened Doc Kindred, sharply, and blew a smoke ring. "You robber!" accused Fat, and tried to lift his arm at the Doc, but the arm was too weak; it fell limply to his side. He did well to balance himself upon the feet to "which the pool players had lifted him. "Must have kicked me," he mused, still dazed and wondering, and caressed his jaw, tenderly while his uncertain eye took slow stock of the entire group. "You're all sophs," he flared up, noticing that each wore a check wed cap; "every darned one of you. Its a sophomore trick. You held me while he kicked me. I'll take it out on the whole class for this, the whole blithering, yawping, pick pocket class. You seel" Turning wrathfully, he rocked and teetered into the darkness, to the accompani ment of fnuch sophomore laughter, and with Doc Kindred still blowing smoke rings behind him. "Odds bodikinsl" murmured Joe, homeward bound. "I can feel that fat chin of his rising up on the end of my fist' right now. I must have lifted him clear off the floor. Golly! I'll never forget the sensation, not if I live a hundred years; and I'm paid for the cost of those tickets already, even if Fat does 'get around to. Lela early tomorrow and lure his lady love from me on some pretext or another." This fear that Fat might block him somehow at the last moment tormented Joe throughout the night. Next morning he leaned back in his hired car with an air of luxurious ease, but the row oi tips of some of Doc Kindred's most expensive cigars which decorated the young man's vest pocket were in reality a sort -of stockade before a very anxious heart. Yet the automobile horn had only been honked inquiringly a second time before Mrs. McIIheney's door when a bright face was framed in the attic window and a hand was waved, a hand with considerable bare arm attached, while a cheery voice called downward: "Just a minute! The agony of suspense was over; but only to give place to that steady burning fire of despair already bak ing Joe's heart brown. It was a long minute, but at length it was past, and Lela emerged from the boarding house door in a costume that, to her escort for the day, was entirely new and evoked his admira tion. It began with a cunning white beaver sport hat and one of those delightful woolly scarfs; it carried on with a green sweater and a snappy plaid skirt, and it finished up with silk stockingSjof a pattern so attractive that one" should have paid a luxury tax just to gaze. Now the sight of this new finery, while it admittedly enhanced the beauty of the woman's outward ap-. pcarance, did not, in Joe Hancock's eyes, enhance the beauty of her soul, for he assumed, ignorantly, that Jack English and Fat Franklin must have been making her presents of clothes. He did not know that, instead, Aunt Eleanor had sold a sow. Nor did he see any more depravity in the girl's acceptance of scarfs and silk stock ings than of T-bones. He only noted that this was another particular in which, the wealthy could outbid the poorer wooer. "Smashing 1" he pronounced, when the girl poised for a moment on the top step, playfully spread her arms, and rotated like a fashion model. "Did you get the tickets?" she in quired, showing all her teeth. "Rawther-r-r-r'" trilled Joe, proud ly, and helped "her into the auto mobile. .- "Were they very expensive?" "Only ten apiece," discounted Joe with the bored air of a man to whom $10 is worth about 10 cents. "Why-e-e-e!" And Lela looked at him in amazement, but mingled again with admiration. "Any trouble getting them?" By "Not to speak of." Jos dissembled, with play upon his words, "Well, wssn't that Just too lovely? It seems ss if everything is turning out wonderfully for us, floesn t itn "For oP Joseph Hancock, grim in his scared heart, continuing to study bis. little type beside him si if he were a scientist and she were some very gsudy little new special of but tenly, noticed that she said, "for us," and speculated sardonically upon Jut what she might mean by those two last words. "Seen much of Franklin lately?" he inquired, with calculation in the question and none whatever in the itmore oi its utterance. "Not since night before last," Lela answered in aggrieved tones and with the appearance of a cloud upon her prow, -wasn't it cheap ol rum? tie didn t ring op or anything about go ing to the meet Why, if it hadn't been for you, Joe, I might have been moping there in that old attic all day long. O, well!" and she shrugged her shoulders, "if he wants to sulk he can sulk. Great big baby like that getting the sulks about about something. Joe felt something knock dismal ly inside of him. which should have warned him that hit love was not to dead after all; but it did not Yes. he perceived gloomily, she and Fat were engaged alt right; the girl's manner told him that; but since, dur ing an entire period of thirty-six hours beyond the moment of his vic tory, Fat had mysteriously failed to press hit attentions, the natural re suit was that the lady in the case was miffed, and little poacher! she was willing, therefore, to accept more favors from Joe. Knowing what he knew, Joe felt a certain sense of re sponsibility for Fat's failure to ap. pear, but was not thereby moved to enter any defense for the absentee. But a new interest had by this time teized upon the volatile girl, as she noted with enthusiasm the pennants with which Joe had dressed the cor ners of the car, and the packages of confetti and serpentine on the front seat, for use at the pavillion in the afternoon. "Joel You're a dear!" she ex claimed impulsively, and clasped the nearest of his hands and shook it "Why why your palms are all cal loused," she discovered with amaze. ment. "You've, been doing hard work manual labor. Joe threw up his hands and laughed at the preposterous idea; but this was mainly a maneuver to get one of them away from her clasp He could not bear her seemingly in nocent comradedly touch. Perhaps this was because, as the day ad' vanced, he lost his extremely analy tical viewpoint His heart began to covet her again, and he could not be comradely with anothePman s treas ure. Instead of analyzing he began to find excuses for her. and was even sadly happy that, although lost to him, he was nevertheless permitted to give her a day of pleasure. - At noon they turned in for lunch eon at Eagles Rest There must have been a dozen automobiles park ed in the circle outside the rustic chalet, with more arriving every minute, and already 70 odd merry studes were lunching. For Lela to learn that Joe had thoughfully tele phoned an advance order, and to have in consequence just the cutest little table for two reserved upon the vine-grown piazza at Just the very best spot for overlooking the entire gay scene, was aboslutely thrilling. Besides the. sheer joy of the ex perience, it ministered greatly to Lela's feeling of self respect to find herself looked after in this way. And Joe had done it was doing it. Not Jack English or Milt Franklin, sons of millionaires, but Joe Hancock, the co-op waiter, to whom each single dollar was at least as large as the moon at its full. From time to time the girl found herself looking Joe over curiously to see what it was in him that she might have missed no ticing before. - , : " . As for Joe he was not studying the girl any more. A little under her spell once again, he was just no ticing things in her character with the interest of a reappraisal that was rather rueful. At the track meet for instance, he noticed her loyalty to Pioneer, her outbursts of joy when a Pioneer man won, her little gasps of. pain Hvhen he was beaten,, her moments of tense anxiety and extreme excitableness when the issue hung in the balance. She was only a freshie, and yet no senior in all .that crowd lived the anguished joy and despair of that contest more fully than she. To a man who loves his college, such an attitude is most commendable. "O!" shrieked Lela at the last. jumping up and down frantically. "Pioneer has won! Pioneer has won! Joe, we have got the rag!" , bhe seized her escort and shook him violently in the excess of her joy. Nothing could restrain her. She rushed pellmell down the tiers and into the procession of the Pioneer rooters, waving her arms, throwing clouds of confetti, and whirling reels upon reels of gaily colored serpen tine. . She marched m the rooters pro cession until not enthusiasm but na ture had worn : itself down. ; Even then, bedraggled by the crush and her voice only a husk, she still raised the college cry of old Pioneer while the celebrating crowds surged by. Eventually Toe eot her into the car and down to San Marino for dinner. There the ministrations of water and ithe vanity box repaired what ever damage the excitements and ex travagances of the afternoon had done to her appearance, while the bounteous and expensive dinner which Joe's pride had provided be gan immediately to restore the resili ent vitalities of youth, so that long before the dessert was reached Lela was able to enter with vivacity upon that remaining delightful anticipa tion, the Junior Prom. Tickets, she had heard, had soared to unbelievable prices, but Joseph Hancock was calm and unperturbed outwardly about this if secretly exultant for again he had waved the magic wand of his dollars and provided them. Flowers, also,, he thought of, purple orchids at about $1 per petal. "Toe O. Joe!' the eirl breathed excitedly into his ear. "Aren t you won der ful!" Toe smiled bravely, and even got the sparkle into his eye over Lela's manifestation of supreme happiness, as exoressed in a hundred little man nerisms of voice and eve. of pose and gesture, that were both appeal PETER CLARK ing snd revealing; hut in hit heart thert wat a frettt slab of pain, in duced by the reflection that alt thete earnest gesturing! oi gratitude mere ly meant that she wat thankful to him for reckless extravagance that had not ceased till it had gone the limit for her. But while Joseph Hancock sr rainged hit circumstances, practical LeU Mason thanked her lucky stars and went on to extract the last thrills of the day from the Junior I'roin, which, to her, marked the climax of the rocial experience in her young life and left her in state of sighing crststy, In thit state Joe took her home. Irme Woods, her roommate, rode with them, partly to nuke surer of the proprieties and partly because the wanted to spite Charlie Moran, with whom the had quarreled on the ay over. In the small hourt they drew up at Mrt. Mcllhenry't. to find that worthy woman's doort still open, the light ttill burning on her wistaria draped porch, and herself drowsily, but conscientiously, count ing her chickens at in groupt of twot and threes they came fluttering in. "Thank goodness, you're the last!" sue ejaculated trom the doorway, surveying with amiable relief the pair of attic roomers si they mounted the steps. Irma entered and went upstairs; but Lela lingered. "Put out the porch light and lock the front door when you come in, Mist Mason," directed the landlady. For Lela this wat the ending of her most perfect day, and the felt the necctsity of so declaring once more to its author and finisher, Joseph Hancock, before she parted from him for the night. Besides, now that it was over, the had to ask him a question. That curiosity reputed to be ingrained in her tex, rudely ttrangled all way, had to be satisfied now had to be I She was tired, but still spirited. Pale and large eyed, she stood there, screened by the wistaria and beamed upon by tne porch light which gave her a sort of halo. - "It't been wonderful beyond ex pression, joe," the- crooned. "O, there isn't a word in the dictionary for the pleasure you have given me today!" - . Even Joe enjoyed a certain sense of satisfaction in the finality of achievement. The day was over. He had managed everything. In no particular had he failed. The little girl had had a bang-up time, no doubt about it. He had given it to her, and now he paused a moment to take farewell. Farewell I It was going to be bitterly hard, much harder than he had imagined, be cause in these last hours he' had re constructed entirely his views of her. He no longer misjudged her. She was not mercenary merely fun-loving and childishly simple-hearted, so utterly honest that she had seemed to be, dissembling when she was frankest. Life had dealt scantily with her, and now, when, as it seem ed, a tidal wave of the world's pleas ure came rolling toward her, who could blame the child-woman for throwing her arms wide and trying to drink in is much of it as possible? Not he, Not Joe Hancock, with whom life had also dealt skimpily. Not one single blessed bit. She was a treasure, and he had lost her that was all and there she stood beam ing on him, positively beaming her gratitude. "How ever did you do it?" she de manded, as one who had worked a magic. "Whereever did you get the money " "O, it was some that I didn't' have any use for," he laughed, but there was a cynical .note m that laughter which frightened the girl. Use for? she asked m an appre hensive whisper. "Joe? You you have spent money ' that that wasn't yours? lhat you hadn t a right to spend?" "- , ' , "O, it was mine, all right, he said, drily. "I had a. right to spend it' "But on me?" A tardy conscience was beginning to stir the girl. "Every cent of at 1" he reassured her promptly, and then hesitated. He had meant it had been his pro gramto teit ner. at tne ena oi tms wild orgy of extravagance, how he had got the money, and what for, and let conscience twit her, if it would; but now that his feeling toward her had changed again, he was moment arily in doubt. The doubts resolved - ti-r themselves, however, "i earnea u for vou." he confessed, "wheeling bricks two solid months of after-. noons of wheeling bricks" "Is that where you were?" Lela almost screamed. " to get money to buy a dia mond ring, so that we could be be engaged." ' Lela's heart leaped wildly. "Joe!
