That the world is in a mess and they who have the power do nothâ€" ing about it, is the claim of Hugh Walpole, wellâ€"known British writer, who in a recent article in the Lonâ€" don Daily Sketch, accuses the woâ€" Tomato Valued As Conditioner men of the world of indifference and of neglecting to use the vast power which is theirs. Women readâ€" ers will doubtless take exception to some of Sir Hugh‘s sweeping stateâ€" ments, but there is much food for thought in his comments, which follow in part: "Made No Use Of Power" "I am sure that some historian of 1980 or 1990 will say ‘Why was it that the women of that time, in the very centre of that world‘s eriâ€" sis, when they had everything in their hands, made no use of their power? "It sounds, of course, nonsense to say that they have everything in their hands when Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin, and the Japanese Offiâ€" cers are in command of nearly half the world." ‘Nevertheless, it is true that they have arrived, although nobody seems to have noticed it, at the firststopping place in the long evoâ€" lution of women when men cin say With Equal "For the last fif have been struggling tain independencies said very stoutly t and motherhood are you and that if yc among other things tus with men, you y your influence, to 1 of the presont prog Quints‘ New Teacher epenaencies.

Gloria Fisk often asked herself that question. Probably it was beâ€" cause of the oil, she decided. Oil was precious; the getting of it alâ€" ways entailed hardships and sufâ€" fering. It seemed to her, howâ€" ever, that Nature had outdone herâ€" self here; that she had been more cruel than necessary. She could have economized on at least half of her discomforts and still have left the place a Gehenna. The heat and the glare alone were inâ€" tolerable; why add the dust and the drought and the poisons and the maddening isolation? Why pour out all her hatred upon this place? At night when the weedless, grassless surface of the earth had flung off most of the heat stored up during the day, it was possible to breathe without gasping and to move about without streaming sweat; but this relief was short and it merely served to intensify the suffering that came with the ardent rays of the morning sun. The days were hideously long. | by REX BEACH | CTC¢¢¢¢,¢,,¢ 0s C0C oo s C CHAPTER I The valley was as dry as powâ€" der and as hot as the top of a stove. It lay between barren hills, the naked summits of which were blackened, doubtless by voleanic f.res, although one could easily imâ€" agine that the ceaseless rays of the vertical sun had burned them brittle. The sandy plain separatâ€" ing the two ranges was covered with desert vegetationâ€"queer misâ€" shapen growths, most of which were blunt and limbless. Some of the trees were mere stubs, others were shaped like gallows, still othâ€" ers bore clumsy limbs of a sort and a sparse covering of tiny leaves out of all proportion to the size of the trunks against which they clung. There were cacti of many varieâ€" ties, of course, huge ribbed ones forty feet tall that resembled treâ€" mendous candelabra, others that were smaller and more grotesque in shane with hundreds of fleshy upri@ht cars or with melonâ€"like knobs and protuberances upon their extremities. An occasional shrub or clump of bushes upthrust itself between the larger trees, but every growing thing was somehow distorted; all were twistâ€" ed by the heat, or bent by discourâ€" agement, perhaps; likewise every growing thing, from the tiny cuâ€" cumber castus, half buried in the sand, up to the tallest gallows tree, was covered with spikes and spines, with dagzer points and talâ€" ons. All these thorns were poisonâ€" ous, all made festering wounds when flesh ‘came in contact with them. Virus tipped their points. Valley of Pain It was in truth a place of many poisons, a valley of pain, for what discomfort the catâ€"claws and the dagger points failed to inflict, the blistering sun and the irritating dust accomplished. | Lool Waters Queen‘s Heart Send 20 cents in coins (stamps cannot be accepted) for this patâ€" tern to Wilson Needlecraft Dept., 73 West Adelaide St., Toronto.

Cool waters! Mrs. Fisk with a languid sigh went to the open window, parted the dusty curtains, and peered out. The glare was blinding, heat waves caused the distant derricks to dance and to waver. There was a dryness in the air that caused her throat to contract so that it seemed to rustle when she swalâ€" lowed. It was a wretched streetâ€" a roadway, almost incandescent at lowed.

Sun like this demanded thick ‘dobe walls, of course, but there was neither clap here at El Centro nor water with which to mix it. No, the watâ€" er, too, came by rail in hot steel tank cars, most of which were foul. Not a yard, not a fence, not a vine, not a bush, not a patch of green met Mrs. Fisk‘s weary eyes â€"nothing â€" but the â€" melancholy buildings. the road ankleâ€"decp in a choking gray powder that coatâ€" ed roofs and walls and even the scattering desert vegetation round about the town itself. Where the road came into view over a low knoll, there appeared a rolling cloud created by the wheels of an approaching ecar. Roads around El Centro were so rough that seldom could a car beat the dust unless favored by a breeze; it must perforee rock â€" and _ jolt slowly â€" through a â€" suffocating smother that coated a driver‘s lungs as thickly as his skin. Like a trail of smoke ignited by some invisible brand, this dust streamer wound closer until Gloria made out her husband at the wheel of his rattleâ€"trap flivver. All cars were rattleâ€"traps six weeks after they were put over these roads; this one complained lovdly, its limber fenders clashed, a jet of vapor rose from its radâ€" iator cap. Its tonneau was piled full of rovne and tackle. All sutoâ€" mobiles at El Centro carried simâ€" ilar cargoes. Veering drunkenly around the corner of the house, it coughed once or twice as if clearing its one lung; then with a longâ€"drawn sigh of escaping steam it came to rest.

Some of them have etched Indian designs on them. One of these depicts the "thunderbird." In Unique Design Dresses, too, show both unbelted and belted waistlines. And then again some are belted with the material of which the dress is made and sometimes with leather or other contrasting fabric. New belts that contrast with the dress are original in styling and very attractive. Coats for winter are pretty genâ€" erally belted, at least those that are being shown for August sales are, except, of course, the boxy types. Sometimes the belts are of the coat fabric, and sometimes they are leather. NEW YORK.â€"What goes with what for autumn?
