FATE STOPS ELOPEMENT .as been Couple Swiftly Riding Away to Hap piness, AVlth Stern Parent In Pur suit, Forced to Surrender When Blow-Ont Stops Car. SPOKANE, "Wash., Sept. 24. (Spe ciaL) Alice Wlndell. pretty society maid, and J. Donlan, both of Seattle, elopers, were captured early today near Rathdrum, after a 400-mile chase by David S. Wlndell, the girl's father. The pursuit started in the Sound City yenterday afternoon. The last lap was made today In speeding auto mobiles over the Trent road. The elopers' car was driven by local friend of Donlan. who succeeded In keeping his identity secret. The pursuing car was piloted by P. C. Gartley, a Spokane auto man, and David Wlndell. The girl and her fiancee left Seattle over the Northern Pacific A stormy interview at the Wlndell home during the noon hour preceded the flight. Win dell says he refused to allow Donlan to wed his daughter on account of the youth of the pair. Wlndell. however, got wind of the flight and prepared to follow. Antici pating that the couple might elude him in Spokane, he had the Seattle branch of an automobile company wire its lo cal office to have a car in readiness. His arrangements made, Windell took the Great Northern train from the Coast city, arriving here Just before 8 today. He rushed to the Northern Pacifio depot, where Gartley was wait ing with a car, but the couple had left Just a minute before. Gartley had noticed them leave and explained the circumstance to Wlndell. The trail led out the Coeur d'Alene road. Several times the car ahead was sighted, but the pursuers could not catch up with it. At high speed the two cars rocked over the nearly-deserted road. Windell sat in the front seat peering ahead and occasionally chop ping out a command to Gartley to "step on her." Just east of the old Alan racetrack the elopers' car swung north on the Rathdrum road. For some unexplained reason the car ahead slowed down and Just south of Rathdrum the car blew a tire and stopped. "Well, Dad, I guess you've caught us at last," said Alice, as she met her father as he alighted from the car. Donlan said nothing but looked sheep ish. Wlndell motioned his daughter into Gartley's car, ignored Donlan and gave orders to return to Spokane. ILLINOIS PARTY ON VISIT Purchasers of Land Near Walla Walla En Route Home.

On account of war conditions, the A VIGOROUS little girl was once AJL reading one of those Sunday school books in which the moral is laid on so thick that It Is sticky. Suddenly she realized that her personality was being Invaded. "This old book Shan boss me!" she cried, and threw it across the room. It was a revolt against the unreal. What are we to think of stories that are "Essays to do good?" If they are too didactic, it is like feeding time' tables to a locomotive, so far as gen erating power is concerned. When the claBS was singing "I Want to Be an Angel," Johnny was asked why he didn t loin in louder. "I am singing as loud as I feel," was the honorable reply. I picked up the other day a song-book published in 1S76. Of its 73 songs 44 were about death ana neaven. x can sympathize now with Johnny. Stories and songs that are unearthly no longer appeal to the young mind, whose range of choice Includes the realities of the dally newspaper and the spiced contents of the popular magazines. "Poy" ud "Glad" Books. But what Is the alternative? We all of us remember that glow of conscious virtue that came to us when we read books with whose heroes it was possible to identify our own selves and in which the moral was not too pointed. It was gratifying to feel he emotions oi naving aone something vir tuous, whereas we had only read about it. Do you recall the "Pansy books?' We used to read them Sunday after noons until our eyes were red and our noses thick with tears. After the heroine had reformed father and the rest of the village we felt spring within us a vigor for virtue that did not evaporate until mother asked us to bring In the wood for supper. The Pansy books have come back un der another name. Now they call them 'glad books," and they sell them for $1.60 even to grown-ups. But Polly still smiles bravely when she knows all the beans are spilled. Rebecca marries the mortgagee, and David plays the violin beautifully from his deathbed. Meanwhile George Mere dith and Thomas Hardy and other men who honestly tried to face . the facts of life gather dust on' the shelves of the public libraries. "For God of Things as They Are." The day of the Puritan moralizer is over. He too was obsessed with death scenes, but he was not afraid to paint the last hours of sinner as well as saint. He showed us little Eva in heaven, but when his bad ones died they went to hell and they knew it. Vice and virtue both got what was coming to tbem and they got it clear ly. He too tried to do what the greater but not more sincere masters have always done to show how good ness looks when it is lived. The sentimental story that is so popular nowadays has a glow, but it does not warm. Its life is too softly lined. Its victories are too easy. Its heroes and heroines are too self-complacent. It goes with padded easy chairs and chocolate caramels. If I had a son or daughter in high school I would forbid him the sobsisterhood. I would pay my American youth 25 a piece to read each one of these six honest books: Meredith's "Egoist" and 'Richard Feverel." Scott's "Quentin Durward." Thackeray's "Vanity Fair," Hugo's "Jean Valjean" and Dickens' 'Tale of Two Cities." To the Editor What you have said about sleep habits reminds me to ask you what I can do to get Florence to be willing to He down for her afternoon nap without insist ing on my lying down with her. It is quite confining. ALICE li. c. Perhaps, since Florence will be little so short a time, you may be glad some day for the memory of the naps you took beside her. Possibly you need them yourself. But if the habit is to be broken, we need to know what caused it. Usually it was the thought lessness of the mother in doing this of her own wilL But think further. Does she seem to be afraid alone? Does she play too hard just before she lies down, or eat too heartily? These causes are removable. . If there Is no difficulty except' Florence's unwillingness, I would talk j the matter over pleasantly with her some morning, and tell her that big girls like her are usually able to lie down ' alone.' I would offer to go in and make her comfortable and tell her a story or sing a song, on the under standing that you are to go away when it is finished. I would also devise a bedtime doll for her to hold. And I would be punctilious in coming in at once when she wakes because there seems to be with many children an alarmed moment at waking, due to the transition perhaps from dreams to reality. If you are always with her when she awakes she may not dread going to sleep alone so much. mads oiily of iSis whale of Urtie plus anew asidi m lO 1 1917-K.T.C.F.Co. r St IbWOiT V r it!

Red Cross Ia Makiag Efforts Get Stuff, but Little Seems Available. What You Can Make At Home By Mrs. Portland. A QUICKLY and easily constructed handbag is made by cutting two circles of silk, satin, velvet, cloth or soft leather; one of them 10 inches In diameter and the other about six inches in diameter. Cut each circle in two across the middle and face the straight edge with a piece of cloth perhaps an inch wide, putting the fac ing, of course, on the wrong side of the goods. Lay the smaller half-circles on the outside each of the two larger circles with the straight edges together and the rounding edges equal distances apart and baste in place. Stitch these two pockets on the larger pieces with machine stitching or with blind stitching. Turn the edge under on the round ing sides of the two large half-circles and baste them together up to the edge of the facing. Sew together with two rows of machine stitching In such a way that the Inner row of stitching will cover the turned-ln raw edge of the goods. You now have a semi-circular bag with two outside semi-circular pock-1 ets on It, and if you wish two more separate compartments, you can stitch ' pockets on the inside, similar to those j on the outside. There are various ways In which you can fasten 'the bag together at the top and arrange holders for ft. You With a big force of women volun teers becoming expert at knitting wool socks. Jackets and mufflers for Uncle Sara's soldiers, the lpcal Red Cross Is now facing a shortage of wool and a consequent cessation of the work that was beginning to pile up substantial quantities of these needed garments n the Red Cross store rooms. We are Just about out of wool." said Campaign Manager Robert H. Strong last night, "and it does not look as if there is any way of get ting the needed supplies. Fe have tried to get wool from San Francisco and Los Angeles and have also made vain attempts to get supplies from Eastern sources, but there is a shortage everywhere. We have sent L Lowengart to Se attle to see if he can obtain any there. We also have hopes of securing a small quantity, through Red Cross chan nels, about October 10, but this will in no way meet our needs. We need 000 pounds as soon as we can pos sibly get it." Manager Strong reports that as a result of his appeal in The Oregonian Sunday, calling upon delinquent sign ers of Red Cross pledges to make their overdue payments, a distinct increase was noted yesterday in the number of subscribers making payments at head quarters, 813 Corbett building.
