Yes, Ruth, for all I am afraid, I am going to marry him. He is the best man, the honestest man, and the most sincere man I have ever known.

I'm going to try, it once more, Leslie, and then if I find It's all wrong, I'm going to go out on a crusade against marriage as we Know it now. Now about yourself, my dear. Lay your cards on the table. Come through straight and clean, and also make that little termagant of a sis ter do the same thing If necessary bring your mother into it although poor woman, I would not make her choose between her daughters unless you find you cannot settle It proper ly any other way. Remember, dear, I'm with you from first to last, and if you want me to, I'll bring up Walter as a reserve, and he whole regiment In himself.

HOROSCOPE "The Stare Incline, But Do Not Compel." Thursday, August 14, 1924. (Copyright, 1924, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Astrologers read this as an un favorable day in planetary direction. Neptune is in evil sway and the Sun changes from friendly to adverse aspects. The total eclipss of the Moon on this date takes place in the third decan of Aquarius and is believed to be ill omened. Much illness among all classes of men and women in many lands ap pears to be foreshadowed and aeain there will be lack of food in various places.

Sismic disturbances are threaten ing In the fifty sixth degree of east longitude and the 124th degree of west longitude. All the signs appear to indicate that nature is as unsettled and as much inclined to depart from estab lished customs as man. Following the eclipse of the Moon today there will be a partial eclipse of the Sun, August 30. This is read as presaging a national calamity somewhere, probably the death of a king or ruler. Persia comes under sinister In fluences at this time and may suffer severely.

All the seers agree that the autumn quarter this year is to be a period of unusual and sensational happenings. Much unrest and discontent among the people of the United States will be evident as the summer declines and the next fortnight may bring forth astonishing revelations in certain quarters. The president Is to gain greatly In popularity and some official act will give him world praise, it, is prophesied. According to a London astrolosrer the central states will experience sharp earthquake shocks after the passing of the equinoctial storms. Persons whose birthdate It is have the augury of a happy prosperous year in which much good fortune will be experienced.

Children born on this day may have eventful lives In which they achieve success that at times Is sensational. These subjects of Leo usually have the utmost confidence in their good stars. giiinmmiiiiiiiiuimiimmiiiiiiiiiiiity I FASHION HINTS 2 ttiiiimiiiiiimiiiiimiiimiiuimiHiiiii?

Although thousands of Pennsylvania school teachers may regard attempts of any kind of teaching supervision as a rank bit of importance and even insult, proper supervision must come for the betterment of schools. Dr. A. L. Rowland, of the teacher training bureau of the state department of public instruction, told city, county and district school superintendents at their conference here today.

There must be a competent supervisor for every ten to twenty five teachers In the near future and the public must be won to a new point of view, declared Dr. Rowland. He added that every county superintendent should have half a dozen specialists in the major kcIioo! studies working out of isofflce. Teacher training thus far has been a great success, ht said, nnd there are twenty eight thousand teachers attending summer schools this summer, or over ha'f the state teaching force. "School teachers do "not read the newspapers enough," declared Miss Newberry, a North Carolina superintendent who told of meeting a fifth grade teacher some time after the recent Democratic convention und who declared that she "thought she would vote for McAdoo." Miss Newbury also added that she frequently encountered seventh and eighth grade school children who could converse more freely on current events than their teachers or parents.

Round table discissions on various problems held the interest of superintendents this afternoon. MAKES DRUMS TALK MANCHESTER, England, Aug. 13. British Boy Scout, officials are conducting experiments with view to adapting the Ashanti "drum language" to the conveyance of messages in English. The Ashanti drums reproduce the number of syllables in a world and actually seem to talk.

It is a kind of musical speech by which words and sentences can be sent hundreds of miles in a remarkable short time. BIG QUININE SHIPMENT ATHENS, Aug. 13. The largest consignment of quinine ever, shipped at sea was dispatched by the American Red Cross on board the Ther mlstocles, which left New York for the Piraeus with an Initial shipment of five tons to combat malaria in Greece. The consignment included 10,000,000 tablets.

LOTS OF CAPES Many capes of varying widths and lines are seen on the newest coats and coat dresse, ALICE'SMEMOIRS STIR WASHINGTON 'Sassiety" Disturbed by Rev elations of Mrs. Longworth By HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer. WASHINGTON, 13. Washington "sassiety," both official and unofficial, is all keyed up over word that Alice Longworth, "Princess Alice" of the old Roosevelt days, is writing her "memoirs." "Will she tell this?" and "Will she tell is being asked on every hand by persons and personages who know that, if she wrote without reservations, Mrs.

Long worth could let, not one or two, but a whole flock of cats out of the bag. For her reminiscences could cover not merely the inside doings of social. Washington for the last 25 years, but could reveal the inner influences that have shaped official and political history through many campaigns and administrations. Probably not one in Washington could so certainly produce a "best seller'' as this daughter of Her knack, as a girl, of delighting in doing the unusual, has been carried over into her more mature years in the ability to view and say. things differently, and always with a "punch." Confirmation of Mrs.

Long worth's alleged literary efforts, however, is lacking. Possibly she's getting a lot of fun out of the suspense the unconfirmed report ht caused. Certainly she has the town "guessing." Another guessing contest, in which politically minded gentlemen, however, are most concerned, is that of trying to forecast who will be the next, from either of the old parties, to desert to Senator La Follette. The list of La Follette lieutenants, coming over from the ranks of the Democrats and the G. O.

Is becoming of quite respectable size. Starting off with only Senator Shipstead and Magnus Johnson as senatorial supporters, he has been joined by Senators Ladd and Frazier, Republicans, and by Senator Wheeler, Democrat, who comes as his running mate. A break in the Republican National committee was caused by the resignation of Ira Lorenz and Mrs. Julia Schentz, national committeeman and committeewoman respectively, from Wisconsin. Brookhart of Iowa, who has voted and will continue to vote with the La Follette group in Congress, will not come into the La Follette camp for purposes of the campaign.

He won his renomination as a Republican and must make his fight for reelection on that, ticket. He will have his hands full in his own fight and can help La Follette more by getting back to the Senate on the G. O. P. ticket than he could by jumping to the Independent cause and complicating his own fight.

Similarly, Norris of Nebraska, while campaigning for re election as a Republican, will take no part in the La Follette national campaign but will take no part in the La but will be a very present and active part of any La Follette "balance of power" In the Senate. Just what position will be taken in the campaign by those two rambunctious senators, Hiram Johnson, Republican, of California, and James A. Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, is yet to be seen. i Hiram has not been heard from since he conceded the futility of his campaign for delegates against Coolidge, and withdrew from the presidential race. Reed has kept ominously silent since he lost his fight to head an anti McAdoo delegation to the New York convention.

But anyone who knows the two gentlemen will wager that they have been doing a lot of thinking, and some are even illing to wager they will pull something sensational once the campaign gets under way. Hiram and Jim may produce memories, if not memoirs! KILL BANDIT LEADER; THREE OTHERS HURT SEATTLE, Aug. 13. D. C.

Malone, alias A. J. Brown, leader of a bandit gang who attempted to rob the Snoqualmle Valley Bank at Tolt, today, was killed.
