My Heart and My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
"Revelations of'a Wife"
What Mtdg Read in Jack'a Words
to Katherint.
Whatever question waa in Kath
arine brain brought there by the
sight of the little signal to Marion
fthtch she had inadvertently caught
was resolutely pat away from her
for future examination. I knew her
so well that I could almost visual
ize the process of some tidy little
brain serf picking the question up
efficiently, carrying it to a vacant
compartment and tucking it away
neatly labelled to be brought forth
again when Katherine should find
, time to examine it.
I led the way to the waiting car,
.knowing they were probably ex
pecting to be put into a taxi, and
waited with the touch of childish
Vanity which I bore will leave me
when driving my own car has be
come 1ms of a novelty for the sur
prised comments I knew they would
make.
"Madge!" Katherine exclaimed, as
1 opened the door of the tonneau
nd swept them an exaggerated lit
tle bow. "Your own car? How
perfectly dear!"
"Simply too adorably delicious for
anything," Jack drawled.
A Strained Moment.
I glanced quickly at him, wonder
ing if I was mistaken about a cer
tain inflection in his tone. The
words signified nothing. Said in
one way they were simply the good
natured teasing which most men
use and no sane woman resents. But
there was something aout the way
Jack had spoken that made me won
der if he had meant really to
. satirize Katherine's little, burst of
enthusiasm. If this were so, if he
habitually used that weapon, the
little speech woul have cut her.
I knew Jack's hatred of exuber
ance. From the time he was a small
boy he hated any one to "fuss" over
him or anything else. I think the
absence of that quality from my
make-up was one of the reasons
for his fancy that he cared for me
in other than "cousinly fashion,
while Dicky openly resents my
'"standoffishness," as he puts it. Vet
it is Dicky and I, Jack and Kather
ine, who are life partners, such is
Fate's shuffle of the cards,
' There was nothing in Katherine's
voice, however, to indicate chagrin.
She continued her exclaiming as if
her husband handn't spoken. I
knew her training, however, the
professional poise which masked the
natural girlish exuberance of her.
It would have enabled her to con
trol any feeling she might have had
on the subject.
Japan Is Capturing
China Trade Which
Should Come to U. S.
Chicago, March 7. "China is ripe
for American-made goods."
This is the message brought here
by R. M. Calkins,, vice president of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Vaul railroad, after a trip to the
. Orient.
"The Chinese people look upon
America as their friend and natur
ally are receptive to trade proposi?
tions," said Mr. Calkins. "But it is
their development work in a prac
tical and businesslike manner.
"Now is not the time to send a
subordinate or junior .member of the
firm to China. The head of the firm
should go. s '
"The British do not send over pri
vate secretaries to China when they
want China's trade. Instead, the
head of the firm goes, and he gets
the orders, too.
"Japan is keenly alive in the won
derful field that China offers and is
working with might and main to
capture it., In spite of the hostility
the Chinese display toward the Japa
nese the latter are shipping wool
from Australia and selling it to the
Chinese. The Japanese are buying
cotton in the United States and
shipping it to Japan, where it is
made up into cloth and then on it
goes to China.
Official, Lowered Into Sea,
Discovered Tune of "Subs"
London, March 7 The tune which
the deadly submarine played as it
moved beneath the waves was
discovered by an admiralty official
who was an expert musician.
It has just been revealed that
when the sea lords were seeking
means of detecting the approach of
a submarine, Sir Richard Paget,
stripped to the waist, was lowered,
head down, into the water. He came
tip bumming the exact note made by
the moving submarine.
From this small and strange be
ginning sound detectors were per
fected which saved many lives and
resulted in the sinking of many U
boats. Man Beheaded When
Power Splits Grindstone
Atlantic City, N. J., March 7
Coupling his autbmobile with a
frindstone to get quicker results,
esse Steelman, 53 years old, a
wealthy farmer of Scullville, 10
mites from here, started the engine
xnd commenced sharpening his ax.
There was a grinding crash, the
grindstone, split and pieces were
catapulted through the sides of the
garage. One large section struck
Steelman at the neck, completely
beheading him.
Next -War On the Pacific,
Says Australian Premier
London, March 7 The prediction
hat "the next war would probably
Veakoutin the Pacific" was attrib
uted . to Premier Hughes of Aus
tralia, in a Central News dispatch
from Melbourne. The premier was
quoted at saying in a speech:
"We are hedged about with na
tions who lust after Australia. We
matt be ready with sufficient forces
to aay; Thus far and no farther.' "
Ebert Gets Furnishings

Berlin, March 7 The magnificent
furnishings and" fittings of the ex
imperial yacht. Holienzollfu. have
been transferred to the official home
"And you don't mean you're driv
ing yourself ? When did you learn?"
Suppose we get in and give the
lady a chance to demonstrate her
skill," Jack said, still smiling, draw
ing her toward the tonneau as he
spoke. , v
Again that indefinable note in his
voice. But I had no time for con
templation of it, for I naturally
wished to make no mistakes in mo
tor technique, and starting my car
and swinging around to the main
road took all my attention.
No one spoke for a minute or two.
Then I heard Katherine's voice,
low, hesitating, from the rear seat.
"Jack, dear, won't you lay that
silk muffler across the back of your
neck. You know how the wind af
fects you." '
"Will you please allow me to-be
the judge for the necessity of that?"
The words were eaoally low, con
trolled, but simply dripping with
icy annoyance. , l knew men tnat i
hadn't been mistaken in those other
intonations. Jack was in the habit
of speaking to Katherine in this un
oleasant manner.
My heart ached with sympathy for
.my little friend, but not because of
Jack's habit of speech. That simply
was one of her marital annoyances.
Every wife has them, and every
husband. No doubt Jack and his
grievances. But the thing I could
not forgive Jack was that he should
humiliate Katherine by speaking to
her in this manner before me.
A wife can forgive a husband al
most anything if he only preserves
the fiction before outsiders that he
is the same devoted attentive
cavalier he was in the days of their
courtship and early marriage. And
in this case Jack's offence was the
more grievous because Katherine
knew of my brother-cousin's feeling
toward"me in the days before he met
and loved her.
That Katherine loved me truly,
clearly. I knew. I also knew that
she had never bothered her head
about that old dead feeling. But it
was not in human nature for her to
accept equably a slight from her
husband in my hearing. I could
have shaken Jack until his teeth
chattered with the best grace in the
world.
I pressed the accelerator and sent
the car along faster. I wanted sud
denly to get home to hurry along
the meeting staged for the veranda.
And I am afraid I had for the mo
ment a savage little hope that some
thing would happen to shake my
brother-cousin out 'of his ugly,
satirical mood.

Has Postcard Photo Taken
From Soldier by German
By International News Service.
Wanston Salem, N. C, March 7
Mr. Grady C. Stone, of No. 902
Bellewood avenue, this city, has in
fus possession a postcard picture
which was the property of some
American soldier killed in the
Meuse-Argonne offensive in Novem
ber, 1918. He obtained the picture
from a German soldier on the day
of the signing of the armistice. The
German stated that he had taken it
from the body of an American as
it was being buried. Mr. Stone is
trying to find the relatives of the
dead hero in order that he may re
turn the picture to them. The pic
ture appears to be the family group
of the soldier in which are himself,
his father and mother, a brother
and seven sisters. It is taken at the
side of a frame dwelling on which
are tacked two striped blankets as
a background. ,
United Brewers Plan
Emergency Convention
Atlantic Cityt N. J., March 7. The
United States Brewers'association
has called an emergency convention
here at the Hotel Traymore, for
February 26 and 27. The convention
has been twice postponed because
of national developments. Noted
attorneys are listed among the
speakers. - ,
A national program that will have
a strong bearing on the presidential
campaign is reported to be foremost
among the topics to be considered.
To Get Strong and
Put on Flesh
Peoole who have tried it say that one
of the quickest and surest ways in which
those who are weak, thin, nervous and
run down can grow strong and put on
pounds of solid stay-there flesh, is to
take a 6-ersin tablet of Blood-Iron Phos
phate with each meal. This is doubtless
due to the well known fact that Blood
Iron Phosphate quickly builds up depleted
nervous energy and at the same time sup
plies the iron necessary to make rich, red
strength building blood. If yon are weak,
thin, nervous, or are lacking in the old
time vigor, endurance and optimism, go to
Sherman & McConnell Drug , Co., or any
good druggist and get enough Blood-Iron
Phosphate to last three weeks and take as
directed. If at the end of three weeks you
don t reel one hundred per cent better and
aren't in every way satisfied you can have
your money back for the asking. Fair,
isn't It J Better try it today.

Strikes Are on the Wane
Says the United States
r. . a conciliation umemi
With the beginning of the new year a general abate
ment in the industrial unrest of the country is seen by Mr.
Hugh L. Kerwin, director of the Bureau of Mediation and
Conciliation of the Department of Labor. v His bureau haa
some thirty-five industrial mediators known officially as
commissioners of conciliation, scattered through the dif-
l f erent sections of the country.
"Public opinion has been so taken up with this con-
It troversy, and with the coal
: that the general situation is

were brought before their attention in one week.
Further statistics show

diation and Conciliation. Comparative1 figures show that J
during November 34 cases were taken up ; in September,
73; in August, 91; July, 91, and June, 94.
The Bureau of Mediation and Conciliation is estab
lished in the organic act of the Department of Labor,
r which authorizes the secretary of labor to act as a media
tor or to appoint commissioners of conciliation whenever
in his judgment the interests of industrial peace require it.
It has not been the general policy of this very effective
branch of the government to intervene in any threatened
' industrial dispute unless requested to do so either by the
'employer, the employe orjhe public directly affected.
f This policy has vindicated itself. Often a strike or threat
ened strike is in process of negotiation through local agen
cies, and the intervention of a third party, even a repre
sentative of the federal government would tend to upset
pending negotiations. -
During the fiscal year the Department of Labor has as-
t signed, commissioners of conciliation to 1,780 cases, made J
up of 278 strikes, 1,113 disputes and threatened strikes, J
63 lockouts and 17 walkouts. In only 111 instances have 1

tional conciliator thinks, "a better feeling exists today be

is today handling 107 trade disputes involving thousands
of workers and of the 107 cases less than 18 are strikes;
f the others being settled by our
pension of operations or loss in production, to say nothing
of the monetary loss falling upon both workers and man
