ERI: aA ya OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1930 LOVE SHY - Installment Six A young man, James Warren, just entered a brownstone house, far uptown in New York .

Mr. Warren looked at the fire for a long time, then he cleared his throat and, leaning forward in his chair to watch his son's face, said: "You know, Jimmy; I haven't the slightest objection to your marrying a poor girl. I couldn't have, for your mother and I were poor as could be when we were married. You know, too, that I have mever been able to| gi understand the free-and-casy man- ners and the kind of dressing the girls in your own set affect. I can't even approve of your sister Mildred, much as I love her. I still have an old, stubborn idea that girls from our poorer classes have more char- acter than those who have been brought up as, well, say, as Mildred has. I suppose that's not a fair idea entirely, for most of the girls who earn their,own living ape society girls until you can't tell a debutante from a stenographer any more. They all look alike--" "Janet's different," Jimmy broke in cagerly. "She even looks different." is father smiled at the interrup- tion, then went on without comment- ing on it.

Pres- ently he continued: "Tell No One" "When you suggested to me several weeks ago that you start to learn all about the business, as nearly as pos- sible the way I learned it myself, by doing everything, even the humbles: jobs, I was pleased.

It would be a temptation for her to dress far beyond her means, or else to feel self- conscious because she would know she was wearing cheap clothes. 1 don't suppose she's the kind of girl | who would let you give her expensive ifts--" "No, she's not," Jimmy said rather shortly. "Well, there you are--you can't think of a single sound reason for telling her now who you are, can you?" "No, I guess not. Only I would like some one in the family to meet her. I know that she's everything that's fine, but I'd just like some one else I'm fond of to think so, too." "Then take her to Mildred's studio, warn Mildred beforehand so she won't say anything that will give the secret away and see what she thinks. 1 don't always approve of what Mil- dred does, but I do trust her judg- ment of people. She's very like your mother in that respect, and if Mil- dred thinks your Janet is all right, that will satisfy me until I can meet her myself -- and by then what I think won't matter anyway, for I sup- ose you'll be engaged to marry her y that time." "I hope so," Jimmy said so fer- vently that his father laughed aloud. "You seem to have some doubts," Mr. Warren said chaffingly. "Not exactly doubts, and I don't know that I can make you under- stand what I think without having you misjudge Janet, but a girl like her has probably had a good many chances to fall in love and marry some young fellow working in the office where she does or doing some similar thing, and since she hasn't it might be that she has made up her mind not to marry and to live the same kind of life her father and mother lead." "There," Mr. Warren shook 3 tri- umphant finger at his son, "you're proving my point. If she's a sensible girl she's undoubtedly made up her mind to that very thing, either to make a good marriage or to stay single. If she loves you enough to give up any dreams she has of ma- terial comfort, then you can be sure she loves you enough to stay mar- ried to you all your life. You don't want things too easy, do you, son? It will make it all the more worth winning her if you have a little battle about it. You've got to work for any- thing that's worth having--why, took your mother away from the rich- est man in town who had been beg- ging her to marry him for a year." Jimmy got to his feet. "It doesn't seem fair some way," he said slowly "but you've never given me a wrong steer yet, father, so I guess I'll have to admit that you're right this time, too. I will take her to see Mildred and you might talk to Mildred your- self for me; I haven't very much time, you know, to see her myself. I'd like to take Janet there some evening next week. Gee--" he was thinking of all the things he had planned for Janet's delight, denied him now by his father's advice. "There's only one thing I'll ask you, Jimmy," his father said, coming to him and putting his hand on his son's shoulder, "just one promise. Will you make it om "Depends on what it is," said Jim- my a trifle sulkily. "It's for your own happiness, son; your mother would want you to be happy, would want me to help you to happiness as much as I can, If you won't promise for my sake, will you promise for your mother's sake?" It is doubtful if Jimmy would have given the promise that was to mean so much suffering for himself and Janet if the appeal had been made in any other way. As it was, he felt he could not refuse, knowing that his father was deeply moved to ask this promise in the name of his dead wife. "I promise," Jimmy said at last, speaking very quietly, "What is it you want me to do?" "I want you only to promise me that before you tell Janet who and what you are, you will come to me and tell me the circumstances, so that I can help you judge whether the time is ripe for her to know. It may even he best for you to wait until after you are married before you tell her--I1 don't know now when you will feel it best for her to know, but I want you to tell me first and let us talk it over together--is that asking too much?" "No, it's not, father," Jimmy said soberly. "I'll promise, and I'll do everything I can to follow your ad- vice about the whole thing--only, if it gets too hard for me, you'll let me tell her sooner, won't you?" "I'll let you tell her whenever the time seems best to us both," Mr. War- ren said, "and depend upon it, I won't make you wait too long." They shook hands on their agree- ment, then talked a little longer--of Jimmy's work, the boarding house where he was living, his daily life. Then they said good night and James Warren, son of a multi-millionaire oil man, turned his back on his luxurious ome and made his way to a cheap boarding house in Brooklyn, where he fell asleep thinking of a girl not far away who had never seen the in- side of such a home as he possessed; who believed him to be only a poor filling station clerk; and who clung with both hands to her dream of a future where life would be gracious and beautiful--a kind of life that no Bling station clerk could ever give er.

Public Misled "Fortunately, statements by the Radium Commission and leaders of the medical profession have done much to quel! this campaign, which has cruelly misled the public and done a disservice to the cause of ra- dio-therapy. So far radium has been used with most success in cases of cancer of the uteruf rectum, bowel, breast, tongue and buecal cavity of the skin.

It is worth noting that the treatment of highly radio sensi- tive growths by teletherapy with hard X-rays may be as effective as the radium bomb treatment.
