PAGE SIX MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKU, OREGON, T-HURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1935 MORNING STAR ay Makian Sims o 27e home tia of Ed- win. "'it' Emily Barnes was about to develop into a state of armed tietftrnlUi, when the prospect of an heir changed everything. Emily has something else to think of besides Edwin's stodgtness, and Edwin is so delighted anything goes or al most anything. In tact, Emily finds everything else in her life consid erably changed. For the first time she even can defy her managing mother successfully. Chapter St EDWIN THE CEN80fl nURPRlSINGLY. It was Dorothy l Shane who proved to be Emily's bulwark. Dorothy had married at twenty and had one child, a boy of even, ao that, as aha put It, "the novelty bad about worn off." But she bad In addition a catholic and Irrepressible sense of humor, and a remarkably sane outlook on lite. She looked like a French doll with her short black balr, tier bril liant dark eyes, and wide, heavily rouged mouth. Edwin disapproved of her on principle and Dorothy was quite aware of bis disapproval and quite unimpressed by It. "I wonder why It Is that husbands and wives never like the same peo ple?" sbe laughed to Emily. "After you're married you don't go wltb the people you each like; you go with the people yon can both atand!" She formed a habit of dropping In almost dally, and Emily came to en joy her more than anyone la Elston. Dorothy, like Charlotte, usually un derstood what you meant. "You'll have to help me keep my sense of proportion and my sense of humor," Emily said one day. To her self she thought, "What a frail reed I am; 1 don't seem to be able to do anything without aupporWrom some outside source." Dorothy smiled affectionately. "1 will. 1 will run you ragged." Edwin came In Just then, and greeted Dorothy with unbending po liteness. Sho crushed out herclgaret and rose. "Heavens, Is it time for husbands to be coming home? Mine Is prob ably on the verge of apoplexy on a downtown corner, wondering why J haven't come for him." Edwin saw her to her car, then cams back and kissed his wife. "1 wlsb you wouldn't see so much of her," be said. "Why not?" "Sho's too fast." "How do you know?" Emily de manded stornly. "Has she been fast with you?" He was so horrified that she al most laughed aloud. "Of course notl But 1 happen to know that she smokes Incessantly and drinks too much and loses a lot at cards." Emlly'a eyes were wistful. "How lntoresttng that would be for a change!" He stared at her In consternation. At tlmcB the strain upon his rever ence for Motherhood was terrific. "Have you lost your mind?" "Not yet, darling. Dorothy Is one of the best safeguards against In sanity that 1 know of." , I don t caro," he Insisted. "I don't think sho's a nt companion for for you." She had boon good for a long time, and she couldn't resist releasing one dart. "Are you afraid she'll corrupt your child?" Edwin Hushed hotly. "I believe you'd be sarcastic at the Bar of Heaven!" he cried. Suddenly she was ashamed of her outburst, because teasing Edwin was such an unsporting thing to do: like shooting a partridge on the ground. Edwin was quite as bowildored and dofonselcss as the partridge. She held out her hands to bim. "My dear, I'm ashamed of myself! This must be corroding my disposi tion. Why don't you lock me up?". Once more ho was the forgiving, protecting male. "Of course I a-ouldn't I was thinking of your own food; that's all." airs. Sensing a steady income Rosa bud's father had renewed bis atten tions, and been severely snubbed. "He done ast me to ma'y him," she announced proudly to Emily. "But 1 ain't got no notion o' doln' it. I'm tl'ed o' pants." "As long as you're getting along so well 1 wouldn't think of It," Emily advised her. Narcissus sniffed. "1 ain't studyln' it. I knows when I'se well off." As her position Improved she had also developed social ambitions, and her account of her nrst party was a high spot in Emily's day. 1 used them papub plates youall had on yo' picnic las' week," she con flded proudly. Emily looked startled. "You did?" "Yas'm. 1 washed 'em up so they looked lak new." Her shoe-button eyes twinkled. "I toT everybody Mis' Felton brought 'em te me from Bfr- mln'ham." Emily laughed. "What kind of party did you have?" A Sllvub Sllppub party. I called It that," she explained, "aftuh the swell dance ball in Blrmln'bam. Tbe gues's come at ten an' let' at two." But why such late hours?" She understood now why Narcissus bad fallen asleep the next day with her bead on the kitchen table. 'Cause tha'a whut time the Sll- vuh Sllppuh entertains." Emily maintained her composure. 'I see. And what did you do for amusement?" At firs'," Narcissus said compla cently, "they pinned the tall on the donkey. 1 give two prizes to' that a high prize an' a low one." Emily thought of the bridge prizes and Christmas presents In her trunk. Why didn't you tell me? 1 could have found some prizes for you." I had two you done gimme," sbe confessed. "I used them." SHIPPERS TO GET M III' A UGUST lay like a vast woollen rl blanket over Elston. Brolly fare up her walks and her visits, ind sat In the spray-cooled shade of or own garden, where Narcissus irought her glasses of Iced milk or iranso Juice, and waited on her with log-like devotion. Narcissus, like the living-room, tad vindicated ber Judgment In fact, the confessed to Dorothy. Narcls ius's company was far more stlmu sling than most of Elston's. The vlctrola was paid for now. and toscbud's wardrobe had grown from ne anomalous garment to several ivory-day dresses and one Sunday no, besides various undergarments rlth which Rosebud had hitherto eon unfamiliar. As the trusted retainer of one of Elston's first families Narcissus bad rained cssto; had even, among her isxorlatcs, begun to give herself MILY was consumed with curi osity. "What were they?" 'A han'chlef In a box for the high prize, an' a cake o' soap an' a wash rag fo' the low one." So that was what had bocome of tbo Boapl Sbe pursued tbe subject. And after you'd pinned the tail, on the donkey, what did you do then?" "They Jos projeckted aroun- awhile an' then they eL 1 had the back yard all wired off lak a square, lak this heah dance hall does, an' bad to' tables In It The punch bowl was all draped In pink papub, an' I aimed to use pink papub on the wire, too, but it co's so mucb 1 used toilet papuh Instead. They nevuh knowod no dlf- unt" Emily had to laugh then, but Nar cissus was unoffended. "I know It looked lovely." Yas'm. They had a awful good time. They suro does break thlngB, though," she addod rogrotfully. Aftub tbey'd done broke one chnlr an' a bench I took my bos' chair In the house an' tor 'om It wu con demned. They'd a rulnt It sure." Emily wanted to hear more, but Narcissus romembored her duties. "Good Lo'd, Miss Emily, It's neah 'bout time fo' Mr. Edwin an' 1 ain't even got my beans on." She turned towards the bouse and then paused. "I thought I might stuff them squash today 'stld o' fryln' 'em. It'd be klnda Indlff'unt, fo' a change." Sho couldn't dnmpon Narcissus's enthusiasm by tolling ber how avorse Edwin was to "Indifferent" things. "That would be lino," sho said. Edwin looked white and worn from tho heat, she noticed as he kissed her, and looking at his tired face she felt a rush of pity for the whole race of men. What a load thoy carried, year In and year out I Even having children didn't quite balance the score, be cause If a woman was fortunate she had a good nurse and a dally respite from them. But a husband wasn't so fortunate; he had to pay the nurse And ho had, besides, the driving realization that the whole structure rested on him; that must be worse than anything else. And how Indignant Edwin would have been If sbe had voiced her thoughts; ho was qulto able to pro vldo for his wife! She decided over tho luncheon to broach tho subject of a trip. "Edwin. darling, I wish you'd take a vocation." Ho looked surprised. "I thought you'd decided you'd be more com fortable at homo." "I did. I'm talking about you." "You moan go alone?" He couldn't Imagine going off on a pleasure trip nun leaving Emily alone and holpless (he liked lo Ihlnit !itr as helploss). "Yes. You need a vacation so bad ly. From work and from me." (Copyright.

If your physi cian or dentist mnkes a new dis covery thnt Is Beneficial In the treatment of human Ills he Is bound by tho ethics of his profession to an nounce It to tho world with out capitalizing upon It. A new technique In dental Burgery must be given freo to the profession nnd the world. The discoverer's only re ward Is fame and whatever monetary reward results from that. To do otherwise would brand him as a blnclc sheep In the profession. An engineer Is perfectly free to patent and collect royalties on what ever new machinery he designs, but the surgeon who Invents a new In strument Is honor-bound to publish details of It to the profession. If his Instrument Is manufactured and sold at a profit to other members of the profession he collects no royal tics. There Is no legal basis for this practice and a dentist or physician who chooses to ignore It has a per-, feet right to do so. But those who follow the Ideals of their profession accept this custom snd adhere to It. Acccordlng to the Army Air Corps technical data branch, top speed of an alrplano propeller has been known to reach 1030 feet per second during n whirl test. Army experts believe this speed may be exceeded during power dives. Muzzle velocities of rifle and pistol ammunition ranges up to about 3000 feet per second. . A Colt .45 pistol fires Its shot at 800 to 900 feet per second. A .22 long rifle has a muzzle velocity of about 1000 to 1100 feet per second.
