TME OtLtil UMAtlA, SATUKUAY, JULY 2, 1921. Holding a Husband AdeU Garrison's Naw Phas of "Revelations of Wife" The Message Dr. Pettit Gave to I Madge. As Dr. Pettit drew his car up be side ours, I noticed through my ter- ' ror, as if one part of my brain were working mechsnira v. that he threw he gear into first immediately upon topping, evidently with the lash of hurry in getting away spurring him on. Almost without my own voli tion I put my own ear in equal read iness for starting off at once, listened tensely to his rrnly to Dicky's query is to what had happened. "I don't know," he replied tersely. "Jerry Ticer telephoned me to eome to the farm at once, and said If I saw vou to tell vou to hurrv. There had been an accident. Good- Sy." At the last word he released his tlutch and the car short forward. For a second the sky and earth teemed to merge and revolve around my head, and I heard Dicky's voice, J Itrained. wild with anxietv. crasn; . "Shall I drive?" om i naa puuea myseit togetner ind sent the car forward swiftly. "Keep Quiet !" "No, it would take too much time changing seats. I'm all right now." I heard my voice after the words, ind it sounded like that of some Stranger, it was so hoarse and creaky. I had delayed bpt a second or two, yet Dr. Pettit's car was already far down the road. With the thought that my baby might be dead or dying at the end of my journey for like all mothers, my fears flew first to my child I was sending the car madlyalong, forcing it to its utmost speed, when Dicky spoke again. "You can't catch Pettit, Madge. He has a more powerful car and the start. And this road isn't very good, especially that turn." V His voice was low and controlled. If I had been myself I shoulhryre aiicu uiai tic wda viumhuk uuwii tis emotions, was watcniui or every complication, and that he feared my haste might result in some accident which would delay our arrival. But to my overstrained nerves his words g simpiy meant mat ne was oeing ot jr-cautious, and that the impulse to criticize anything I did was stronger than his anxiety for Junior. I turned my head toward him and fairly screamed at him: , "Keep quiet and let me get to my baby!" As if the car were a sentient thing, and knew that the brain directing it had been drawn aside for an instant, it skidded, rocked, swayed, and for a sickening, heart-stopping flash of time I thought we were going to topple over into the ditch at the side of the road for which it seemed head ed. How I ever managed to get it under control and started in the right direction again I don't know, but in some mtnner I accomplished .Jhe feat, and, white and subdued, ' slowed my speed down a trifle. Anxious Moments. "Sorry. Sweetheart." Dicky's voice, tender, apologetic, sounded in my ears. Steady, now. we re nearly there." He must have realized that I need ed jtn the soothing words he gave me, and a dim, remorseful realiza tion swept across me of the double burden he must be carrying, that of his own wild anxiety and the neces sity for helping me. But remorse, nderness. every other emotion was swept out ot my mina as we nearea the driveway, and I saw a group in the Ticer front yard. It seemed to me that all living within a mile radius were gathered there, and I knew that something most unusual had summoned them.

"My baby!" I gasped, clutching Jerry's arm as we reached the steps. "Is he dead?" He shook his head dumbly, and I saw the tears in his honest eyes. "No, Mis Graham, but" Dicky's arm was around me and he hurried me onward through the open door into the room which Mrs. Ticer had given up for a sitting room. My child's whimpering cries of pain came to my ears as I ran into the room and saw him in his grandmother's arms with his head wrapped in a blood-stained bandage. one little arm hanging limply by his side. "Oh I Baby darling!" I cried, breathlessly, as I reached his side. "What has happened to you?. Give him to me!" I held out my arms, but ' my mother-in-law looked at me with such awe and grief in her eyes that I was hushed for the second into silence. . "Hush, child," she said. "Your baby isn't dangerously hurt, and you are needed yonder." I looked in the direction she in dicated, saw Dr. Pettit bending over an inert little neap on the couch, while Lillian knelt at the side, her face gray with terror, her eyes fixed searchingly upon the physician's face as if she would tear the verdict from it. (Continued Monday.) Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today , By MILDRED MARSHALL. For today the sapphire is both the talismanic gem and the natal stone. The ancients believed that it was blessedly the gods, and so was en dowed with the power to bring wealth to men and to women, the faithfulness of those whom they loved. In olden times, it was believed to lose its color if worn by one who was unfaithful to husband or wife. Dark blue is today's color. It is symbolic of steadfast devotion, as well as of wisdom and clear think ing. The oldrfashioned pink, which stands for true love, is today's flow er. . (Copyright, 1921, Wheeler Syndicate, Ino.) Common Sense Where It Started The use of this word for army and navy meals is derived from the ancient custom of placing guests in fours, which were called "messes;" this custom antedates Shakespeare, and is referred to by him in several of his plays. The division of sol diers into squads of eight, or two "messes" or fours, caused the term to be specially applied to hem. Copyright, 1921.- Wheeler Syndicate, Inc. Parents' Problems How can children best be pre pared for their future work of mak ing a home of their own? Children can, perhaps, best be pre pared for making future homes of their own by being helped in every way to help make happy and com fortable their present homes. This involves the whole problem of the training of children. By J. J. MUNDY. "Hello, Bill!" There is too much "Mistering" in the world not enough Hello, Har ry, Jim or Bill. This fact is being recognized by large organizations, the members of which are now expected to call one another by their first names. This fact is helping to make these organizations big successes. The man who calls you by your first name almost always is interest ed in you, feels closer to you, and if you are the right sort your are interested in him. The use of one's given name strengthens the stronger feeling, friendship. There are those who insist upon what formality demands and certain ones feel that it is not being shown proper respect to be called by the more intimate name by their asso ciates and acquaintances. There is no use arguing .with such men. They consider themselves bigger than Roosevelt, who war pleased that everybody called him "Teddy." And then there are a few men so restrained in feeling every way that the sound of too'famjliar use of their- given name grates on their feelings. Such persons are to be pitied, for they are losing the heart of contact. Copyright, 1S21, International Feature Service, Inc.

CORRECT APPAREL FOR MEN AND WOMEN WHY Are Photographic Films Developed in a Red Light? While we are accustomed to think of white as being a single color, it is really a combination of the seven primary colors which go to make up the spectrum just as black is the total absence of all colors. Each of the rays which go to make up white light has its own power, its own chemical action upon various sub stances, as may be easily seen by placing a sheet of violet glass in front of a thermometer and then re placing it with a sheet of red glass. The former has practically not heat ing power at all, while the latter will produce a marked change in a short space of time. On the other hand, the violet rays play a leading part in making up the light which usually surrounds us and they have an instant effect upon the delicate chemicals used in making and coating photographic films or plates. Cutting off these violet rays by the use of a strong red light pre vents the films from being spotted or "light-struck," for red has no ef fect up'oa the sensitive coating and the plates may be developed as freely as if they were in total darkness. Because s pider webs seem to have an attraction for flies an English man has designed a fly trap that resembles one.
