Such action only emphasizes again the fact that this world

duced by the world war
AS IN 1914, so today England is fighting with her back to the
wall. All political lines have been abandoned, a coalition
government has been formed,

Just as the world war demonstrated that the world is a unit,

mits to a newspaper interview, and declares this suspen

is a hopeful one. Paying a high
fulness and courage, he maintains England will win out as cer

We hope Mr. Morgan is right,
that he is, for we have a deep

verse, military leaders were forced, for the sake of national
morale, to discount the seriousness of the disaster and express'
an optimism, not really justified by the circumstances, so fin
ancial leaders are compelled to do the same thing now.
Suspension of the gold standard is not a hopeful sign, but
quite the reverse. The hopeful sign lies in the spirit of the
British government and the British people, the same spirit, of
never giving up, of meeting every reverse with a greater deter
mination to win rather than less, that won the war.
KJATIONS, like individuals, have hidden powers, often unsus-
' pected and seldom utilized, until a supreme crisis; and. the
difference between a strong nation and a weak one, lies pri
marily in its ability to meet a crisis, by calling upon this "inner
reserve."
Great Britain is calling upon this reserve now, and Mr. Mor
gan believes she will gtave off financial disaster now just as she
staved off military disaster 13 years ago.
Such a, view is justtified. But, as the United States was the
determining factor In that war victory, we fear the United
States will have to be the determining faotor in this one.
In fact, the more one considers this world war and world
depression situation, the more

David Starr Jordan was a true leader, particularly in the
direction of education and world peace." He thought things out
independently, and when as a result of this thinking he reached
certain convictions, he always had the courage to sustain them.

Dr. J. P. Mon

excellent little
book "Troubles

way; "Cancer la Not a Disease!" Then
he goes on to explain that It is only

cancer. Procrastination, putting off

first proper examination, trying to

Is how the deadly disease known as
delay manifests Itself.
Right here I again suggest to
young doctors the great need of
communltlea everywhere for special
ists in rectal diseases. Every day
Inquiries for such specialists come
to me and too often I am unable
to name a qualified physician In the
correspondent'svclty. There are hun
dreds of cities without such special
ists. Here Is a field which is not
overcrowded.
I bate to frighten or worry any
body, but even at the risk of losing
friends I feel bound to give this
warning about cancer. Simple piles
does account for occasional bleeding
In most cases In young people, but
when a person past 40 notices such
bleeding, whether he knows he Is
subject to piles or not, the only safe
and sensible course for him is to be
examined at once by a physician.
Then, too, It Is folly to delay con
sulting the physician when there Is
any Idea that there Is a constriction,
narrowing or stricture which ob
structs the passageway. Alternating
constipation and diarrhea should
ssrve as a warning signal, for this
Is a frequent symptom In cancer:
of course alternating constipation
and diarrhea Is Just as likely to be

those flrat days, but Conchlta, waa
nursing Molly now.
Somehow the parlors were rock

out Dlvltt who seldom left Molly's
side.
Fill, the girl who had taken Jua
nlta'a place, waa gone also, after a
dispute with' Dlvltt Fill waa rather
rough in her interpretation ot Car
men. A rougher element seemed to
be entering the parlors by way of
response.
In some way the tidings of Fill's
realism and departure had filtered
in to Molly. Molly wrote a tremu
lous note to Juanita, asking her to
come back and pass the cigarettes
again. Also, would Juanita come In
and aee her?
Molly, apparently, had not been
told that Junnltj,. w. i- the house.
She had given the note to Gabreau .
the day after. Juanlta'a return, ask
ing him to get it to Juanita some
how. Gabreau had known that It
waa useless to fire it to Juanita
until today.
Today, Jaunlta reading the note,
coming back to earth with a body
spent and a vision strangely clari
fied, divined that Molly wished to
draw her out of the plight she was
in. Molly had known, but Molly had
not been in accord with that plight
This knowledge was to Juanita
like a light shining faintly In a
dark chaotlo world. She resolved
to go back to the parlors, tonight
If she could walk. And to go to see
Molly.
"Molly got somep'n' she want to
tell you," Gabreau said.
Gabreau had spoken little, sitting
at Juanlta'a aider, hie long arms
dangling over the chair. Juanita
liked to see him there. Even to her
It had seemed that she was drifting
out that the shore waa growing
fainter.
"Is Molly very ill, Gabreau?" she
asked.
He nodded. "No bebby now," h
aald.
Juanita, In her weakness, felt ths
tears. "Poor Molly!" ahe said,
"I think the glad," Gabreau an
swered quickly. "I don't know, but
1 think she glad. Dla ain't no place
fer chlll'n."
"They might not have stayed
here it It had come. It might have
changed everything."
Gabreau smiled, a faint strange
smile that made his tad faoe sadder
still. "Dlvitt never change," he
said.
Juanita covered her eyot. The
thought of Dlvltt brought back ths
last moment she remembered, the
sight ot his face, livid with fury,
the sound of bis words. She had -
wondered how he had known, who
else knew, how soon they would
come, hot on her trail, to take her
back.
Today Gabreau had told her how
Dlvltt had known.
Gabreau waited table for Dlvitt
and Molly. One morning at break
fast, shortly after Juanita had gone
with the marquesa, Dlvltt had
opened a paper that had corns to
him through ths mall.
He had presently handed it to
Molly, and Molly's exclamation had
led Qabreau to peer over her shoul
der. He had teen Juanlta'a picture
and beneath it the word "Missing."
He had not had time to read
more before Dlvltt had ordered him
sharply to bring In the rolls. Ga
breau did not know the name ot ths
paper. It had been printed in Eng
lish, but It might have been a Mexi

Molly, "I uncovered something that

The conference with the principal

It had not occurred to her that
