A “Master” Cleaner is one who is specially chosen for his integrity, knowledge of the business, courtesy and the ability to make good any damage, shortage or inexpertness within his control. The National Association of Dyers & Cleaners of the United States and Canada selects the member, and when once he displays the “Mas ter” emblem you may rest assured he is gilt-edged in working calibre and a very fit individual with whom to entrust cleaning work.

Atlanta, Qa., Deo. 29.—Injurnu sustained when he was thrown from a tunaway team last year, starred - ’. E. Ward on the ’’dope" habit and on Christmas Day, because ho renljxwl i from smiling faced that he ,vas | "living in a world apart" from j others—caused him to sentence him- j self to a term in the Federal Peni- i tentiary in hope of being cured of the evil. | I Ward, a farmer, and respected in hia community, was pitched lieud | long from a wagon last year when . | hits horses became frightened and ran | away. There were three operations, 1 1 one after another—and still he was left with a useless leg. and internal injuries. j And during his lllners. morphine i was prescribed for him to ease his pains. It did. But it alo started Ward on the habit he realised soon he couldn't break “unices 1 went to i the penitentiary.” So Christmas Day Ward ocme to I Atlanta. He saw happy, smiling peo • pie. And the realization came tp. biln | that be was so far apart from them. But these same smiled caused, him i during the day to arrange to sell a | grain of the "dope" to federal j agents to be sentenced for violation' of the Harrison narcotic act. He was j arrested and spent Christmas Day , in Fulton county tower while await ing henring in United Sintes Federal court here. “I came to Atlanta to g<-t dope." Ward said, “but somehow the people smiling and happy at Christmas time, gave me the nerve it ik lo go to prison. I knew i* would be hard without morphine, and I had never been arrested l>>‘ >.•■•, hut the habit wa« getting me" And. as Ward was led -dT to ms ee'l in jail—his first Christmas in. 14 years away from heme- attaches' of the orison were move I by the nerx e of the little farmer, so he left for his “cure” with is pockets ’all of ens to provide smokes a-vl other com forts for the man who is "determin ed to cure myself." VAN DYKE PRAISES THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS Worth More Than Forts and Navy Yards, Says Minister. Washington, Dec. 28.—Our public j schools are worth more to the re ! public than all her forts and navy ' yards. They ought to cost more, declares Henry van Dyke in Demo cratic Aristocracy in the Journal of the National Education Association for January. The schools deserve protection from scheming politicians, he believes. They are handicapped, perhaps, by an overload of educational fads and fancies; possiby by a lack of thorough ness in laying mental and moral foun dations ; certainly by the want of a i more generous provision for the teacher on whom their life depends. But they have survived: they have improved ; they are doing wonderfully iu the world where he would rather well. Dr. Vau Dyke says there is no place have his books read than in the public schools of America. For it Is there that the children of the people get power to conceive, bring forth, recognize end fnii„w a native aristo cracy of leadership. _ jjj RECEIVED SAME ARTICLE AT CHRISTMAS TWICE Automobile Given Her Stolen and Re covered Just One Year Later. (By International News Service.) Atlanta. Ga., Dec. 29.—Mrs. M- L. Hanlon, of this city, holds the unique ! distinction, of having received as a 'gift, for two successive Christinas | the same identical article. I Christmas morning. 1925. she 'awoke and her husband told her to I “go out front and see what you find.” ; She did. And she found a spanking , new- coupe parked in front of the j house — her hubby’s gift. But her joy ! "'as short-'ived, for before OhAst mas Day had passed, so had the automobile. i Christmas morning, 192 G, Mrs. Han’on was called on tiic phone. An hour later she again went out front j “to see what she could find.” And she found her husband's gift of a year ngo-r-used quite a bit—but her gift. I The automobile had been returned to her by officers who found the ear Christmas Eve night. VIRGINIA DARE NOT WORRIED BY STATUE Living Model for Marble Conception Enjoying Christmas Holidays at I Home. j I Washington, Dec. 28. While 1 North Carolinians are engaging in artistic controversy over the marble conception of Virginia Dare in the , Hall of History at Raleigh, the young ; lady in the flesh is having a happy j Christmas holiday from the worries of college at her home in Alexandria. 1 Virginia. I Virginia Dare is now a student at * i W ellesley College. Despite her name, f however, the probability is that she I was not the first white child of Eng liih parents to be born 4n America. ... j If Miss Dare is 339 years old she j certainly does not look her age. If she is, then despite her age, she . is bavihg a fine time with' the younger : set in Alexandria this Christmas, i She is spending the holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Dare.

Clay took firm hold of hts shoulders, and shook him encour agingly ; while Stivner puffed fu riously on a black cigar. There had been enough excite ment on this cruise to satisfy even -mber king!. .■, . • • • Within an Incredibly brief time, Cityta.n Marty maneuvered the org Spe -dwell alongside the caa a ways abuer, plain to behold whs to tally tuckered. While seamen let down ft rope ladder Ranny went overboard. In a shallow dive and took physical control of the situation In the water “Joan, Joan., are yop all right?” he sputtered beseechingly as he came up beside her and Swiftly re lieved her of the practically dead weight of who was appar ently in a semi conscious condi tion. “Oh. Joan, why did you do this? Why, why?—Oh, I’m so sorry—” Joan, a ghastly greenlhh white from nausea and fatigue, avoided his eyes—lgnored him. 'When the rope ladder fell within bpr reach, she scorned hie helping hutd, and dragged bersolt etlffly up until the willing hands on the yacht took hold of her. Then she collapsed; fainted dead away, as she waa borne off to a chbln and the, first aid of . anxious women frleods. , i ■ V Ranny shifted Abner** tagging weight to his shoulder, and el imbed ap the rope ladder. Captain Marty locked Abner over contemptuously. “Nothing much the matter with him, ejtcept a scarcity of guto!” he commented harshly. “He’ll be all right after a hooker. But if It hadn't been for rite woman, the fool would have drowned!” Ranny was fuahthg down to Joan's cabin when he met Olay, •merfing. day caught bold at him: "Here, aow.

Tell me, old man, tell mo the, truth!” “Os course, ghe’a all right! Done In, though. You’d be, too. Mrs Teffens and a couple of the women are undressing her. rubbing her. The stewardess has warm blankets ready. There’s no danger, and no need at all for you down there. So stay up here with me. I want to talk to you!” Ranny, weak from a grateful flood of relief, suffered himself to be lead to an obscure corner of tho deck by Clay; unwillingly, though. “1 ought to be down there with Joan. That’s my place!" ho hept repeating. . . | Clay soothed him lightly. "Yqu wouldn’t think so If yon heard what she was saying abont you I Blaming It all on you. The sight of you would be as welcome to hey loving eyes now as a Klan speaker to Tammany Hall. But the point Is this: She saved Abner! Gel that? She saved Abner!” “What are- you driving at?” “Simply this she’d never havs had to save YOU. You would have saved her.

Your mistake la. that, yos softened on the domineering stuff and patronizingly tried to compro mlse. You gave over being a cave man and tried to be a, broad-mlnd ed husband.

The place and the time are not propitious to tell you my plas now. except that hereafter instead of letting your wife In on all your thoughts—on this plan, particular ly!—your motto from thla hour forward must be DON’T TELL THE WIFE!” CHAPTER XV For the rest of that cruise—and Stivner cut it short, tinder the cir cumstances, by having Captaia Marty team back to Glen Cove as speedily as possible—Joan kept t*. Her cabin and frigidly avoided her husband. Abner, coming out of his dale of fear and physical weakness, mad* violent threats to have Ranny Jailed—to prosecute all the cos splrators, In fact. Including Stivner and Captain Marty Wales. Clay Varick, fat and foxy dlpl» mat. soothed him uut of that. “I think you’ll find a change” he said. “Forbes realises that hl» wife no longer loves him, but love* you and would even sacrifice her life for you. I think you will find him—err-r, tractable!” “I hope so. for it’a the only thing that’ll keep you all out of Jail"' Abner growled, In the way a littl# and thoroughly frightened dog growls at big rough dogs from bo hind the safety of a high fence.
