Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1935 BYXOP81S: dug WKum hat been ot great tervice to Atitott Rtdt and Aliton it very fond 01 titty. But her life it complicated by the fact that her wealthy and eaty going father it being victimited by Daphne Bumcrt. the woman he it about to marry. AUaon believet Guy knowt tomtthing about Daphne, but he it mytterioutly rlote-mottthed. Now A liton hat ten Daphne, through the window of her Hat, locked in the arm of a man. And tht man it not her father. "ITS un unhappily. "If 1 told father, ha mightn't believe me! And she'd find some way of wriggling out of It. After all, I can't prove what I saw; It's going to be my word against hers." And If It came to that, ahe felt certain, her father would choose to believe Daphne Burners. "She'd only say that I'd made It all up," she thought despairingly. "Anyway, can It be right to tell tales? Ia it ever right to do wrong?" So Impossible to know! She might only succeed In hurting her father without doing any good. Perhaps the best way would be to go direct to Daphne herself and tell her that she had been found out? It was still early when Alison got off the 'bus at Knlghtsbrldge. In any case, her father would not be at home before five. She would finish off her shopping, she decided, try and make up her mind what she must do then. But she was still uncertain as to what was right when at last she got home. Sitting In her own chair by the fire, alone with him, pouring out his China tea, poking the big logs on the fire to make them blase, as she had done hundreds of times before, she found It harder than ever to make up her mind. She could not listen properly to his description of his day, his lunch with Daphne and two old friends, some gossip he had brought home from the club, the latest political scandal; she assented at random, trying to make up her mind to plunge. "Father she drew a deep breath and got as far as that but Robert, still chuckling over his last Joke as be lit a cigar, broke la before ahe could finish. "By the way, did Daphne tell you about our new plan?" Alison pulled herself together with a Jerk. "No. As a matter of fact, t missed her this afternoon." Was he going to ask why? For a second she held her breath. "Oh? You haven't seen her then?" "No." "Oh, we settled everything at lunch!" Robert was pleased to be able to break the nowa himself, he had rather a childish love of being the first and he did not notice All son's expression of relief. "She and I were talking things over." he went on cheerfully, "and we both feel that there's no real reason why we should wait a whole six weeks to get married. 1 was wait lng because your aunt wouldn't be back from India to look after you. but Daphne says that ahe would much rather that you came with ua." "On your honeymoon?" All All aon'a anxious thoughts were scat tered by this bombshell. She stared at her father blankly. "WES." He laughed rather shyly. 1 "We're not a young couple, my dear, to be romantic about that She aays you'd enjoy It. Daphne thinks lt'd be great fun having you with her while I'm playing with my bo tanical collection. You see we've decided to go to Spain now, the Southern Pyrenees, Instead of Ma deira, and you'd love that." "I think I'd feel horribly In the way." Alison could not keep the sheer dismay out of her voice. "Nonsense! How could you be In the way? We both want you." He patted her shoulder. "Father, please honestly, I'd rather not!" It came out with a rush. I'd much rather stay In the bouse alone. If Aunt Emily Isn't back In time!" "I thought you'd be pltased." Robert looked upset and very hurt. "I I think It's sweet of you both to want me." She got that out with an effort. "We do want you. Surely that's enough!" There waa a note of an noyance In his voice now. "Hut I'd rather stay here." In her despair. Alison plunged. "I 1 want to talk to you about that. You aee. I've been thinking things out and I think I want to take up aome work." "Work? What on earth for? My dear child, doa't be so silly!" He quite heated. "There's no earth en to work.

Def.pl t Uiese addition luxuries, Uie fectly well what 1 think of all this modern nonsense about girls earn ing their own living!" "I don't want to earn my living Alison strove to be patient. "I Just want something to do." Hla annoyance faded suddenly Into laughter. "Something to do. You'll have plenty. Why, Daphne's planning to give a dance to bring you out aa soon as we get back, and you'll be much too busy playing round and amusing yourself to worry about work." "But 1 don't want to dance and amuse myself." "Don't want to come out and be presented? What rubbish! You'll love It. All girls do. Dancing and spending money and having new frocka and stuff what a little goose you are!" Was there no way of making him understand? thought Alison help lessly. A few months ago, he would have listened to her views, have taken them seriously, but now Daphne had taught him to think of his daughter as a child still, to be treated as a tool! She made one last desperate plea. "Let me try It Just for a little while anyway. The three weeka you're away and see " "See what?" His anger burst sud denly. "My dear, you're being very stupid! It's not like you. All this nonsense about work! Daphne and I want you to come with us, and that's enough. It's extraordinarily sweet of her to want you, and 1 don't think you're behaving any too well. I'm afraid It's simply that you're Jealous, and I hate to think that!" His anger died away, as it always did In a few seconds. Hs touched her right hand gently. "Alison?" She broke from him and fled. I CAN'T bear this! I'll have it out with her!" That was the one Idea In Alison's mind as she rushed upstairs to her room. The thought of being third on that honeymoon trip, of being left half the day with Daphne and with no eacape, was dreadful. Skl-lng and mountaineering had been Alison's hobbles when she was at school: the freedom and the lone liness of the high peaka appealed to a myatlo streak In her nature. She had found In those solitary ex peditions some things she had al ways wanted, peace to stralgbten out her tangled Ideaa and to know herself and her alms. The light and color of those wide landscapes In summer, the utter si lence of the snow and the thin cold air In winter enchanted hor and had formed a secret Joy to which she could look forward during the dull est term. The notion of sharing her particular escape wlh Daphne waa abhorrent. "She'd get nervea and scroam I'm sure she would! She'd stick somewhere and expect me to lug her down and then tell father that I wasn't kind! She'll probably turn up In high-heeled kid slippers," thought Alison rebolliously. "And whatever happens now I shall al ways think of her kissing that man!" She did not go downstairs again. She could not face her father until she had made up her mind what she was going to do. She lingered In her own room, pretending to read while ahe thought deeply. Yet when the housemaid came up to lay out her dress for the evening she seemed no nearer a decision. " anything more funny " Guy bad said. And surely this was funny? For Daphne to change all her plans on the spur of the moment, change her arrangementa tor a honeymoon trip to Madeira and In sist on a third person coming out with them to Spain! "It's not that she wauts me," thought Alison with conviction. "She doesn't like me a little bit She may put that over with father. It doesn't go down with me!" "We Bottled everything at lunch," he bad said. What had made her change? Not that kiss, then. In the basement at Fulham. Something bad happened before that. Could this new motive have any thing to do with Guy? But the but ler had said distinctly that he had given no name, so It couldn't be that! One thing Alison felt sure ot something had made Daphne change her mind. It was no mere whim, for Daphne Sumers wss not the type of person who acts without some deep motive. The more she considered It, the more Alison mistrusted this sudden change of plan. (Copyright. 1131. Kvelyn li. Wtnch AIi.au ia lallh.ut IfiiAW. lng II, Monday.

More Chan a quarter of all Aus trian marriages remain sterile, hts statistics demonstrate. Of all marriages concluded In Aus tria between 1800 and 1930 not less than 25 per cent remained without Issue; 27 per cent of the couple had only one child; 20 per cent had two, while 27.0 per cent gave birth to three or more children. A detailed analysis of, the figures for the laat decade reveals that the birthrate continue rapidly to decline, as la shown by the following figures for Vienna. It la true, the situation In the capital la worse than In the provinces, but there the trend also la downward. Of the marriages concluded here between 1800 and 1003, 20 per cent remalnded childless. Prom 1004 to 1913 this percentage Increased to 22: between 1914 and 1918 to 26; between 1919 and 1923 to 32: In 1924 to 40: in 1925 to 41: In 1928 to 42; In 1027 to 45; in 1928 to 48, and In 1029 to 53.

"The glands restore mental aa well as physical power," the specialist re lated. "Many men still must work at 65 or 70. and need new mental strength. "But the women they come for coquetry. That's why there are few of them." For three months after the gland operations, no effects are felt, he re lated, and then "For seven months the Improve' ment Is continuous. A man 65 finally takes on the appearance of a man of 50. "The effect lasts 10 years. Then It can be done again, but I think that patient will get the benefit of only about six or seven years the second time. We never have made a third operation."
