Career for Girla
Poultry farming as .an alternative to
marriage has been recommended to
girls by M. Ambrose-Rendu in a letter
written to the Paris newspaper,
L’Oeuvre, the London Mail reports.
There are some hundreds of thou
sands of girls, says the oldest of the
municipal councilors, who cannot pos
sibly be provided with husbands, and
as all cannot wish to be typists, secre
taries or shop assistants, he suggests
that they should form themselves into
groups and rear chickens.
There Is, says M. Ambrose-Rendu, a
farm in the Oise department where
such groups would be warmly wel
comed, and the work Is easy to learn
and lucrative, ns well as Interesting.
“I know some young girls who are
working In this way and have Charge
of 500 hens,” he says. Girls who pre
fer freedom In the fresh air of the
country to a strenuous life in the city
might in this way form colonies on the
Innd In some of the beautiful agricul
tural districts of France and carve out
an excellent career for themselves.

\7L7K ALL took a natural Interest

This Interest was naturally en

scene suddenly a pretty little Chinese

And it rose to boiling point when he
brought to the Rev. Mr. Sturgis Jones

It howled as lustily ns any Cau

In its two Christian, civilized Mon

United States citizen. The business of
the chop sue.v restaurant went up by
leaps and bounds. Someone, learning
that Lin Loo's deposit at the hank
was a heavy one, even proposed nom
inating him for village trustee. How
ever, as Lin Loo was not a citizen,
and couldn't become one, the proposal
came to nothing.
Spring brought its annual crop of

but dentil to Mongolians. Tlie little

“They’ll get over it when the next
one comes," said Mrs. Sturgis Jones,
with one of tlioae feminine glances
that are so significant.
Three months later pretty little
Mrs. Lin Loo was dead. She_ was
burled with the new-horn baby beside
her. Lin Loo was left alone.
Not a change appeared upon Ids
stolid, smiling Mongol face. “But lie
feels it,” said Rev. Sturgis Jones.
“Don’t believe for a moment that lie
hasn’t any feeling. These Chinese
have a wonderful power of self-con
trol.”
Opinion was divided on that point.
But outwardly tills second blow had
left Lin Loo unscathed. lie stiil pre

Mrs. Sturgis Jones.
But no other Chinese bride ap

Then an astonish'ng tiling occurred.

19 24. Western Newspaper Union )
I HARDLY knew the printer who
lived In the next room at Mrs.
Sohweepe’s boarding houg’c. That is
to say I knew him intimately, when
he hnd been Imbibing, but he was apt
to forget me the next day. He kept
very much to himself, exeept when he
had been celebrating, and then he
was apt to expand much. But, ns the
landlady said. It didn’t happen often,
and Harrison was regular In his rent.
Harrison—a man of fifty-five, per
haps, lean, and gaunt, and gray. Spoke
with an English accent, too. He had
been a gentleman, was one yet. In a
way. Ilis futher, still alive, was u
big man In England—n general or
something like that, with a string of
letters after his name. He told me
that—four times. He was drunk each
time, so he forgot afterword.
Something that he had done in youth
had exiled him from the life that
should have been bis. What It was,
Harrison didn’t tell me, even when be
was drunk. Something unforgivable, I
Imagine, according to Ids code.
And f<^ a quarter of a century he
had been battered and buffeted by the
waves of American life, never accli
mating himself, losing ids British qual
ities without acquiring ours. It was
a tragedy.
ties known better days, snid Mrs.
Schweepe of him. “I guess It’s the
memory of them makes him drink.”
Harrison never spoke directly of his
past, but Indirectly—when he was
drunk and came overflowing Into my
room at night—he told me about the
Towers, his ancestral home—I never
could pronounce the name. He
told me of Lord this and Lady that,
who appeared and reappeared *ln the
twisted thread of his story. And one
day—I hoped—I should be able to
piece it together.
Then come one meinornble night.
“He’s had a letter,” Mrs. Schweepe
said to 1119, "and lie’s drinking himself
howling drunk over It. Keep him quiet
If you can tonight. Tomorrow I’m go
ing to tell him I’ll have to raise
his rent.”
Yes, Harrison certainly was drunk
that night. He came Into my room,
staggering. But he wasn’t noisy drunk.
There was a quiet satisfaction In him.
“Barlow,” he said, "you been goo'
friend to me. I’m going back to Eng
land. Know my name? Sir Henry
Harrison." He laughed. “Old man's
dead. 'I’m going back to"—something
—“Towers."
“Have a h—I of a time now, old Bar
low. All that’s coming to me. Five
thousand a year. Take you with me,
ole Barlow, because you’ve been goo’
friend of mine. And listen!”
He told me of a girl who had prom
ised to wait for him. He was sure
she was waiting still—she had sworn
she would—though he had never writ
ten or heard from her In all these
years. An old woman—but he thought
of her as a girl.
“You come ahing. be bailiff of my es
state, Barlow, ole man." he hiccoughed,
as he passed out.
He sang a little that night, but was
more quiet than of wont. I went to
business next day and forgot him.
The landlady opened the door to me
In the evening, “lie’s very ill," she
said. “Tlie doctor says he drank
enough bootleg whisky to poison a
regiment. He’s asking for you."
I went up to Harrison's room. He
lay on the bed. A strangely aristo
cratic look had come upon Ids white
face. He lay there with glassy eyes.
He was too far gone to recognize me.
Mrs. Schweepe came to the door.
“The doctor thinks he’ll die,” she wtils
perea.
HarriSon did die—at five o’clock the
next morning. Died without recogniz
ing me—so I lost lhat job ns bnllllY at
Something Towers. Died murmuring
one name over and over: “Edith.”
And then, “I’m coming, Edith. I’m
coming home, I guess." And then,
“Forgot. Mustn’t suy ‘guess’ In the
Old Country."
I saw him, when I had closed his
eyes, lying on the bed with that
strangely aristocratic look on his face.
I hunted for the letter afterward, but
there was no sign of It. There were
a few charred and unintelligible frag
ments In the wastebasket.
Harrison’s body was never claimed.
He was buried"at my expense, to save
him from the potter’s field, and Mrs.
Schweepe added her mite. I’ve often
wondered about Harrison—and the girl

SCIENCE SEEKS BIRTH
PLACE OF MAN IN
MONGOLIAN DESERT
Andrews Again Heads Party Hoping
To Find Traces of Man a Million
and a Half Years Old.
Having established to t)heir own
satisfaction the fact that man existed
600,000 years ago, scientists will now
attempt to trace his origin back an
other million years.
Led by Roy Chapman Andrews, who
returned from Asia a year ago with a
nest of 26 dinosaur eggs ten million
years old, another expedition sailed
from the United States May 25th for
China. Thence the party will proceed
into the heart of the Gobi desent, in
Mongolia, where it is hoped a five
year search will reveal further amaz
ing secrets concerning the early life
of man, beast and reptile.
As in the previous expedition, the
scientists will rely on American-built
motor cars and trucks for transporta
tion, although roads are unknown in
most of the vast territory to be ex
plored. Mr. Andrews recently visited
Dodge Brothers factory in Detriot,
where five cars were being equipped
for the expedition. Mr. Andrews ex
pressed great satisfaction with the
new equipment and repeated that he
attributed a great share of the suc
cess of his last expedition to the re
markable endurance of Dodge Brothers
cars. These made it possible to ac
complish a 30-year task in three
years. In view of this experience it
was only natural that he should again
insist upon Dodge Brothers cars for
his next expedition.
Fifteen scientists representing
twelve branches of learning, chosen
from 4,000 applicants constitute the
party.
While scientists differ on the sub
ject, especially since the discovery of
the 600,000-year-old Foxhill man in
England, Mr. Andrews is of the belief
that man evolved in Asia and that it
will be in the younger rocks of Man
golia, if anywhere, that traces of his
first activities will be found. He is
strongly supported in this theory by
such an eminent scientist as Henry
Fairfield Osborn who was referred to
by William Jennings Bryan, in their
famous debate on evolution, as “a tall
professor who comes down out of the
trees to push good people who believe
in God off the sidewalk.
“When we found the ten-million
year-old dinosaur eggs, we were ex
amining rocks older than humanity,"
said Mr. Andrews. “But now we are
going to the rocks where human re
mains are more likely to exist. It is
a gamble, but we think the prospects
justify gambling.”
In their quest the scientists will
push farther west than they have ever
gone before, working both to the north
and the south of the Altai Mountains.
As the beginning of exploration will
be made about 1,000 miles from the
nearest base, Kalgan, it will be neces
sary to organize with especial care.
Arrangements have been made for 200
camels to carry provisions ahead of
the motor trucks.
