PAGE EIGHT JIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1935. MORNING STAR ay Mjmzan Siivts ST .V OP S IS I emlly niton's mother, Frances Felton, is one of those gentle lemalee who manages everything and everybody. She hat a duty complex, and Emily hae ar rived at college age icithout ever having been permitted to do the little things that provide escape iar youngsters. Even shy Edfcin arnes, who obHovsly adores Em ily, is lust the kind of boy Frances F'lton likes. Koto Emily Is being shipped off to Ardmore, near hone, instead of being allowed to go to Pryn Stawr, which she wanted very much. Chapter Two ARDMORE ARDMORE Is not far from Elston, Alabama. It Is near Birming ham: about two hours' drive, Emily noted, from her own front door. Al though she had seen the college be fore, she was conscious of a vague disappointment as the car bore her and her mother towards Main Build ing. Esthetlcallv, the Ardmore of a dec ade ago was not very satisfying; It was too prone to Ignore the ameni ties of living for the rigors of learn ing. There was no architectural unity in the buildings, and exchange professors from Trinity or Edin burgh found themselves, to their sur prise, quartered In rococo relics of the nineties which the campus, like an enormous amoeba, had absorbed as It grew. Frances glanced at her watch, rose and extended a plump hand. "I mustn't monopolize your time. You have been more than Stlnd." It would be Inaccurate to say that Dr. Markham shook hands. Rather, she allowed her hand to be taken. "I hope you will come and see us often. We like to feel that parents are In terested In our efforts." "Thank you, I shall," Frances as sure! her. She went then to the Freshman Dormitory, an outmoded red brick building with rooms large enough to house a modern efficiency apartment and climbed two nights of stairs to her daughter's room. Emily was arranging books and pictures. Her face was flushed and dirty and her eyes were shining. This, she had begun to realize, was more nearly freedom than anything she had ever known. Are you staying for supper?" she asked gaily. Frances shook her head. No. I told William to come for me at five and I fancy he's waiting now. You know I never like to leave youi father alone for meals." JEFFREY FELTON was alwayi "your father" when Frances spoke of him to Emily. It was as II she disclaimed any relationship with Judith flung herself full length on the unmade bed. Modernism, except In such courses as were necessary to maintain the school's standing, had not been al lowed to rear Its head; and Its Bible professors taught a doctrine of Are and brimstone while Its professors of science conducted discreet experi ments with the Mendellan laws of heredity and expounded the Dar winian theory of natural selection. Smoking went hand In hand with cheating as a capital offense, and au tomobiles were Instruments of the Devil for the. furthernnce of his pri vate ends. Before committing her child to the college's care Frances Felton had a long Interview with the Dean which strengthened her own convic tion of the Tightness of her choice. Dr. Markham was a fragile lady of the post-Vlctorlan era wh'i had grown up with the school, and who managed, through the sheor force of her convictions and her unimpeach able gentility, to control five hun dred girls without raising her voice. Freshmen trembled in her pres ence and were uncomfortably aware of their bands and feet; graduates saw her devotion to her school and her students, and paid her unstinted tribute. CHE snd Frances liked and respect- J ed each other immediately. They saw eye to eye In the matter of train ing young girls for life. Over a cup of tea In the Dean's immaculste parlor they discussed and settled Emily's future. "I can't toll you." Fiances assured her warmly, "what a comfort tt is to know that Emily Is In your care." Dr. Markham smiled. "You sro very kind. It Is a great comfort to us to have girls like your daughter at the school. They make It what It Is." Frances shook her head. "Not en tirely. No matter how fine a girl Is, she needs to be directed." Dr. Markhnm sipped her scented Ua delicately. "That Is true. Our secret lies In di recting rather than ruling. We give our girls more liberty than any other school In the South, on the assump tion that they aro capable of appre ciating IL They know our high ideals snd strive to live tip to them. It has been very successful. " him outside the paternity of her daughter. "Well, kiss him for me and tell blm I'm expecting a visit as soon as he can get away. Dad, I mean; not William." Frances looked at her thoughtful ly. In her day a girl was pale and tearful over the Idea of leaving her home. "You will remember, I hope, dear, that we're expecting a good deal of you?" The brightness faded. "Of course, Mother." "I'm sure you will." Frances kissed her with real tenderness and went to her waiting car. Emily's roommate, whose name was Judith Carroll, arrived later in the evening. It was quite typical of Judith, Emily learned afterwards, to arrive everywhere a little later than everyone else. Her tardiness wasn't Intentional: It usually resulted from an unwillingness on the part of other people to let her leave the place she happened to be. She was tall and slender, with cloudy dark hair and Ingenuous blue eyes that bid a knowledge of people and things that few individuals ever have the curiosity or the energy to acquire. She flung her hat on one bed, her coat on the other, took In the room at a glance, and held out both hands. "How doth the little busy bee!" she chuckled. Emily succumbed at once Her smile was a reflection of Judith's. "How do you do?" Judith Dung herself full length on the unmade bed. "Oh, beautifully. I always do: It's a family falling." Later, Emily came to know that, too. Judith's family were all fash ioned from the same bright metal. "Is there enythlng I can do to help you unpack?" she asked a little shy ly. Judith ran a hand through the short, cloudy hair and stretched. "Thanks, no; there's nothing to un pack. I intended to get here In time to rescue my trunk from the mael strom below, but David made me late, as usual. I'll have to sleep on the mattress, but I've fared worse before this." (Copyright.

It comes from the word "thaler," meaning valley of de pression. The first coin from which we get the word "dollar" was minted in Bohemia in 1518 by the Count oi Schlltz. These coins bore an effigy of St. Joachim, and were known as JoachlmathaJera or schllchenthalers. They were equal to one gold gulden.

It became famous in Kentucky, where climate and soli conditions brought this grass to Its highest development. Recently Kentucky blue grass moved another step west when It was introduced In the Hawaiian Islands. A wide belt of blue grass, planted from Kentucky seed, is now growing around Mauna Kea, highest Island mountain In the world. Monday: The Bed of Gold.
