THE LEAGUE AT WORK.
The most serious problem yet pre
sented to the League of Nations, or '
I at least the most serious so far as the .
general public can tell, has arisen ov
er the invasion of Bulgarian territory .
by Greek troops. sooner had the :
f troops from Greece passed over the
Bulgarian frontier than Bulgaria, as
a member of the League, asked that
body to deride the issue in the ease.
The council of the League met at
once and ordered the Greek govern
ment to withdraw its troops and cease
oil movement on Bulgarian territory. 1
The orjßr was ignored in Greece, or
at least news from Athens was to that
effect, and Greek soldiers continued
their march into Bulgaria, forcing in-'
. habitants to flee their homes.
That was about all the council of
the League would put up with. The
Bulgarians offered little if auy resist, j
ai)re. so the Greeks alone had to be 1
dealt with. The council lost no time, j
I It gave out the information that if
Greece ignored further Its orders, it I
- would provide a navai demonstration 1
for Athens, affecting a blockade of that
f city.
That decided the question. From ,
Athens went out orders for the rc
- tirement from Bulgaria of Greek
troops. The retirement movement be
; gai at once,
* That shows what the league of
- Nations can do. If the world could
have turned to-some similar agency in
1914 there would never have been the
;i World War. Os course Germany was
fc prepared at that time, and was look
ing for an excuse but had the Em
il peror known his war movement would
have met the combined forces of the
: world at the outset he would not have
violated all , international laws and
marched through Belgium and France.
E The difficulties between Greece and
Bulgaria are not of enough couse- j
; ; quence to start a war. yet the incident '
i. is little less trivial than the one that
started the World War. The Greeks
were determined to tight, and they
- would be in Bulgaria today were it not
J for the League.
Other nations were not forced to
tight, yet the very fact that they were
ready to blockade Athens and take
l ' other steps necessary to enforce the
fc rules of the League was sufficient to I
Sr. stop'the lighting. It will ever be thus
y when all the nations of the world
Ej agree to settle their disputes by arbi
sl tration.
■p,. The League of Nations is very
I much alive and ils line value lo the
I world is becoming more evident.
15 THE TROUBLE STARTS AT
HOME.
y .
O Pfeshh ut Ciwlidge-' in an address
before Y-, M. X’. A. delegates jn Wasli
jngtou deplored the evidence that jhe
1 home is breaking down and that an
inerctmAng number of the delinquents
. in tjie courts arc the product of par-.
j In an- article prepared for the New
. York World on the subject of crime,
Chief Magistrate McAdoo of New
York State, gave utterance to the
f same thought. Mr. McAdoo’s review
of the causes of crime stressed the
fact of "no home life, no parental in
j fluence." He said :
6 "We have got to get hold of the
- children between the ages of five and
fourteen especially and try to reach
them spiritually and morally. Great
.' masses of young fellows in thetwen
ties are practically all of our crimi
) mils ju the outlaw class. They have
no emotions of pity, love, friendship,
| graritude or sense of responsibility.
• They despise their parents, hate fee
law and are in open war with its o di
cers. * * Young men and women in
■ this country, going to work young,
are too early economically independ
ent of parents and therefore insubor
i ilinate.”
1 1 The child who is taught to respect
his parents usually respects the law.
The child who is taught to love his
home and its environments is not go
ng to bevoid of pity, love, friendship
and gratitude. |
Wc can pass ail of the laws we
want, but unless the home can keep
its influence they will be of no avail.
The young person who is allowed the
freedom of the city will soon become
insubordinate. He gets the habit of
finding interest outside his own fam
ily. Go gets to the place where he
depends less and less on his parents j
for help and advice and soon he loses (
respect for them. Then he loses re
spect for everything else.

LAYS ATTACKS ON
SCANT CLOTHING
Solicitor Swain Attributes Negro
Assaults to Modern Dress Styles.
I Asheville. Oct. 27. Scant cloth?
I ing worn by white women—rolled
I hose and other suggestive garb—
have an effect upon the ignorant and
primitive mind of negro men. in the
I opinion of Solicitor .1. Ed. Swain, of
I Asheville.
I Mr. Swain. commenting up m
iline assaults made by negro men
upon white women iiP*Asheville re-
I cent!y. gave a- his opinion that im
modest modes of clothing are a con
tributing cause to the attacks,
‘'Women seem not to realize that
suggestive wearing apparel has a de
moralizing effect on ignorant negro
men and boys," the Solicitor said.
"Before cold weather charged the
modes of dress, women walked the
streets of Asheville disgracefully
e’ad. I have seen women walking
around with elothing weighing only
a few ounces. Stockings are rolled
down, portions of legs exposed, no
corsets worn."
He declares that there has been
an increasing tendency on the part
of women to become more suggestive
jin their dres- all the time. "Knick
ers are worn wirh the legs encased
in the thinnest kind of silk hose.
Negroes lacking the culture and un
derstanding of the white man. can
not •reconcile these things with mod
-1 erti fashion, and their i motions are
I apt to get away w ith them. The
first opportunity finds the commun
ity confronted with a horrible
crime."
Mr. Swain i- working night ami
day to convict the inen arrested in
the assault cases, and is also taking
steps to prevent an outbreak here
during tlie trials- It is believed that
the two Who were captured trill go
on trial next week.
Smokers are tending away from
cigars and toward the egarettes, ac
cording to figures collected by the
] government. This tendency for die
demand for cigar tobaccos'to slacken
and the increased demand for the cig
arette type began to be noticeable
| shortly before the war. During the
war the cigarette demand increased
greatly and it has continued to grow
.since the armistice. l’rodueers of to
tjayeo are accommodating themselves
gradually to the changing dernnpd,
hut not quite so rapidly as condi
tions justify. Stocks of cigar t»bae-~
co have accumulated ami have been
utilized to Koine extent iu the niauu
fnctwe of oilier products. Cigars,
it is complained, have become too
coatly.

CHAPTER XX. (Continued)
Big Lars stubbornly backed his
' dek, but the bank continued to win,
- tnd meanwhile new arrivals dropped
i n. Two, three hours the play went
in, by which time all Dawson knew
hat a big game was running and
hat a girl was in the dealer's chair.
I few of the visitors got close enough
1 o verify the intelligence without
eceiving a sotto voce warning that
•ough talk was taboo—Miller's un
godly clap saw to that—and cn the
whole the warning was respected.
Only once was it disregarded; then
| r heavy loser breathed a though-.less
oath. Disapproval was marked,
punishment was cdpdign; the look
out leisurely descended from his
?yrie and floored the offender with
a blow from his fist.
When the resulting disturbance
had quieted down the defender of
decorum announced with inflexible
; firmness, but with a total lack of
] heat:
j “Gents, this is a sort of gospel
i game, and it’s got a certain tone
which we re going to maintain. The
limit is oif, except on cussing, but
it’s mighty low on that. Them of
you that are indisposed to swallow
your cud of regrets will have it
knocked out of you."
“Good!" shouted Big Lars. He
pounded the table with the flat of
his. huge palm. “By Jingo! I'll
make that unanimous. If anybody
has to cuss let him take ten paces
to the rear and cuss the stove.”
It was well along in the afternoon
when Rouletta Kirby pushed back
her chair and rose. She was very
white; she passed an uncertain hand
over her face, then groped blindly
at the table for support. At these
•igns of distress a chorus of alarm
arose.
“It’s nothing,” she smiled. “I’m
just—hungry. I’ve been pretty ill
and I’m not very strong yet."
* Lars Anderson was dumbfounded,
appalled. “Hungry? My God!" To
his companions he shouted: "D’you
hear that, boys ? She’s starved out!”
The boys had heard; already they
had begun to scramble. Some ran
for the lunch-counter in the adjoin
ing room, others dashed out to the
nearest restaurants. The Snowbird
so far forgot his responsibilities as
to abandon the roulette-wheel and
leave its bank-roll unguarded while
he scurried to the bar and demanded
a drink, a tray of assorted drinks,
fit for a fainting lady. He came
flying back yelling, “Gangway!" and,
scattering the crowd ahead of him,
he offered brandy, whisky, creme de
lneqthe, hootch, absinthe and bit
ters to Rouletta, all of which she
declined. He was still arguing the
medicinal value of these beverages
when the swinging doors from the
street burst open and in rushed the
Mocha Kid. a pie in each hand.
Other eatabies and drinkables ap
peared as by migic, the faro-table
was soon spread with the fruits of
a half-dozen hasty and hysterical
forays.
Rouletta stared at the apprehen
sive faces about her, and what she
read therein caused her Ups to
quiver and her voice to break when
she tried to express her thanks.
“Gosh! Don’t cry!” begged the
Mocha Kid. With a counterfeit as
sumption of juvenile hilarity he ex

claimed: “Oh, ’ook at the pretty
piesl They go; little Christmas
trees on their lids, Ain’t they? Um
yuml Rich and jury! I stuck up
the baker and stole his whole stock,
but I slipped and spilled ’em F. O.
B.—flat on the boardwalk.”
Rouletta laughed. “Let’s end the
game and all have luneb,” she'-sug
gested, and her invitation was ac
cepted.
Big Lars spoke up with his mouth
full of pastry: “We don’t allow
anybody to go hungry in this camp,”
said he. “We’re all your friends,
miss, and, if there’s anything you
want and can’t afford, charge it to
me.”
Rouletta stopped to speak sfrith
Miller, an her way out. “Do I get
the position?” she inquired.
“say! You know you get it!” he
told her. “You go ot. at eight and
come off at mignight.”
“What is'the pay?”
“I pay my dealers an ounce a
shift, but—you can write your own
ticket. How is two ounces?”
"HI take regular wages,” Rou
letta smiled.
Miller nodded his approval of this
fttitude; then his face clouded. “I’ve

- “I’li u, me gin asserted.
“Agnes and I will do that."
The proprietor was interested.
•“Agnes?” Holy Moses I Is there
two of you? Have you got a sister?
Who’s Agnes ?”
’“She»> an old friend of my
father’s.”
Miller shrugged. “Bring her along
of you want tc,” he said, doubtfully,
“but those old dames are trouble
makers.”
“Yes, Agnes is all of that, but”—
Rouletta’s eyes were dancing — “she
minds her opn business and she’ll
guard the baqk-roii.”
Lucky Broad and Kid Bridges
had found employment at the Rialto
soon after it opened. As they passed
the gold-scales on their way to work
Pierce Phillips halted them.
“I’ve some good news for you,
Lucky,” he announced. “You’ve
lest your job.”
“Who, nit?" Broad was incred
ulous.
“Miller has hired a new faro
dealer, and ydu don’t go on until
midnight." Briefly Pierce retold
the story that had come to his ears
when he reported for duty that
evening.
Broad and Bridges listened with
out comment, but they exchanged
glances. They put their heads to
gether and began a low-pitched con
versation. They were still murmur
ing when Rouletta appeared, in com
pany with ’Poleon Dcret.
’Poleon’s face lighfed at sight of
the two gamblers. He strode for
ward, crying: “Hallo! I’m glad for
see you some more.” To the girl
he said: “Y’ou ’member dese feller’.
-Dev he’p save you in de rapids.” *
Rouletta impulsively extended her
hands. “Os course! Could I for
get?” She saw Pierce Phillips be
hind the scales and nodded to him.
"Why, we’re all here, aren't we?
I’m so glad. Everywhere I go I
meet friends.”
Lucky and the Kid inquired re
spectfully regarding her health, her
journey down the river, her reasons
for being here; then when they had
drawn iier s aside the -former inter
rupted her flow of explanations to
say:
"Listen, Letty. We got just one
real question to ask and we’d like a
straight answer. Have you got any
kick against this Frenchman?”
"Any kick of any kind?” queried
Bridges. “We're your friends; you
can tip us off.”
The sudden change in the tone of
their voices caused the girl ;o siaat'
and to stare at them. She saw thatt
both men were in sober earnest; tlie
reason behind their solicitude she
apprehended. t ;
She laid a hand upon the arm es
each. Her eyes were very bright
when she be can: “’Poleon told me
how you came to his tent that morn
ing after—you know, and lie told
me what you said. Well, it wasn’t
necessary. He’s the dearest thing
that ever lived!”
t “Why’d he put yott to work in a
place like this?” Bridges roughly
demanded.
"He didn't. He begged me not to’
try it. He offered me all he has-*»
his last dollar. He—”
Swiftly, earnestly, Rouletta told
how the big woodsman had cared
for hej; how tenderly, faithfully, lie
had nursed her back to health and
strength; how he had cast all his
plans to the wind in order to bring
her down the river. “He’s the best,
the kindest, the most generous man
I ever knew,” she concluded. “His
heart is clean and—his soul is full
of music.”
“Sta butno!" cried Lucky Broad,
in genuine relief. “We>ud a hunch
he was right, but—you can't always
trust those Asiatic races.”
Ben Miller appeared and warmly
grgeted his new employee. “Rested
up?W? Well, it’s going to be a big
night. Where’s Agnes—the other
one? Has she got cold feet?”
. “No. just a cold nose. Here shff
is.” From a small bag on her arm
Rouletta drew Sam Kirby's six
. shooter. “Agnes was my father’s
friend. Nobody ever ran out on
her."
Miller blinked, he uttered a feeble,
exclamation, then he burst into a
mighty laugh. He was still shak
ing, his face was purple, there were
tears of mirth in his eyes, when he
, followed Broad, Bridges, and Rou
letta into the gambling-room.
THere were several players at the
faro-table when the girl took her
place. Removing her gloves, she
stowed them away in her bag. From
this bag she extracted the heavy
Colt’s revolver, then opened the
drawer before her and laid it inside.
She breathed upon her fingers, rub
bin# the circulation back into them,
and began to shuffle the cards.
Slipping them into the box, the girl .
settled herself in her chair and
looked up into a circle of grinning
faces. Before her level gaze eyes
that had been focused queerly upon

were twitching, but he bit down
upon them. Gravely he said;
“Well, boys, let's gol”
CHAPTER XXI
In taking charge of a sick girl, a
helpless, hopeless stranger, ’Poleon
Dqret had assumed a responsibility
far greater than he had anticipated,
and that responsibility had grown
heavier every day. Having, at last, ’
successfully discharged it, he ,
breathed freely, his first relaxations
in a Jong time; he, rejoiced in tho 1
consciousness of a difficult duty well :
pt-formed. Scrfar asfhe could see i
the-e was nothing at all 1
nar' nothing in the least improper, 1

RiMu». Any suggestion of impro- -!

jWjMMri bin 1 for siSasfis sail
gambling-halls filled • HMMBH
place in the every-day social nfe of
the Northland. Customs were free,
standards were liberal in the eerjF
days; no one, ’Poleon least -of (k
would have dreamed that they were
destined to change in a night. Had
he been told that soon the country
would be dry, and gambling-game*
and dance-halls be prohibited by
law, he would hawe considered the
idea too utterly fantastic for belief;*
the mere contemplation of such a
dreary prospect would have proved
extremely dispiriting. He—and oth
er pioneers of his kind—would havo
been tempted immediately to pack
up and move on to some freer lo
cality where a man could retain hie
personal Hberty and pursue his hap
piness in a manner as noisy, as in
temperate, and as undignified ae
suited his individual taste.
In j ustice to the saloons, be it said,
they were mere than mere drinking
-1 places; they were 'the pivots about
. which revolved the business life of
the North country. They were meet
ing-places, social centers, marts of
trade; looked upon as evidences of
enterprise and general prosperity,
they were cohsidered desirable asset*
; to any community. Everybody pat
ronized them; the men who ran
them were, on the whole, as reputa
ble as the men engaged in other pur
suits. No particular stigma attached
either to the places themselves or to
the people connected with them.
These gold-camps had a very
simple code. W ork of any sort was
praiseworthy and honorable, idleness
nr improdnctivity was reprehensible.
Mining, storekeeping, liquor-selling
ambling, stcamboating, all were oc
cupations which men followed as
necessity or convenience prompted
A citizen gained repute by the man
ner in which he deported himself
not by reason of the nature of the
commodity in which he dealt. Such
at least, was the attitude of tlie “old
timers.”
Rouletta’s instant success, the fad
that she had fallen among friends;
delighted a woodsman like ’Poleon
and, now that he was his own mastei
aeain, he. straightway surrendered
himself to the selfish enjoyment ol
his surroundings. His nature and j
his training prescribed the limits ol '
those pleasures; they were quite at I
simple as his every-day habits ol 1
ife; he danced, he gambled, and hi
drank.
To-night he did all three, in the re
verse order. To him Dawson was t
! dream city; its lights were dazzling
I its music; heavenly, its games ojr
chance enticing, and its liquor war,
the finest, the smoothest, the mofil
inspiriting his tongue had ever tested !
Old f rinds were everywhere, and new j
ones, too, for that matter. Amon|
them were alluring womeq wh<
smiled and sparkled. Each plact j
’Poleon entered was the home of car
nival.
By midnight he was glorioush
drunk. Ere daylight came he had
sung himself hoarse, he had dance! i
two holes in his moccasins, and bad •
conducted three fist-fights to a satis’
factory' if not a successful conclu
sion. It had been a celebration that
was to live in his memory. He strodi
blindly off to l>ed, shouting his com
plete satisfaction with himself and
with the world, retired without urn
dressing, and then sang himself t<
sleep, regardless of the protests ol
the other lodgers.
“Say! That Frenchman is a riot/

"I'll say she is," replied tile new
Secretary. "Then when she gets tired
she puts it ipto ijs cradle and rocka
it to sleep.”
A Simple Remedy.
An old lady, leaving church after a
service"”which had been attended by u
crowded eongregat'on. was heard to
say: “If everybody else would only
do us I do, and stay quietly in their
seatsxjill everyone else has gone out,
there would not be such a rush at the j
doors.” ]
He Lost Nothing. |
A lady who had (fivep a dinner par- t
ty met her doctor in the street the J
following day, and stopiied to speak to
him.
“X am so sorry, doctor,” she said,
‘‘that you were not able to come to
my dinner party la-t n'ght: it would
have done you good to be there.”
"It has already done me good.” he
replied, tersely. "I ’have just pre- 1
scribed for three of the guests.”
Tile Diamond Bark Terrapin
The diamond back terrapin is con
sidered a i*Hre delicacy nowadays. No j
glutton's dream would be comp'ete I
without this item on the mgfiu. lint j
it was not always thus, In fie old
: colonial days diamond back was sc i
I common that it was tit food for slaj.es
i and servant. In fact the slaves !t
i used to rebel because they were fed 1, 1
iso much of if. Free laborers would { |
j take jobs only on eoiidition that they I
! would not have to eat diamond back
temqiin wort than four times a
week. Tittles have changed eonsid
. erably. Now terrapin of this spe
. eies sell at *l2O a dozen Tfib T'cited
j States bus.an of fisheries says, how-
I ever, terrapin sfiou’d be down to as
i low as $1 a plate within a feyvyears; -
the government is going into the bus
iness itself. At Beaufort N.
the bureau is producing between 5.000
and 10 000 young terrapins a year.
With these the waters along the
Southern Atlantic coast are being
storked.
To Beautify the Throat.
) I>o jou want a beautiful throat?
A good exercise for developing this
member of the body is to bend the
head slowly forward and downward
ami letting the chin rest upon the
chest. Keep your face to the front.
Next move the head back as far as
possible, turn it first to the left and
, then to the right slowly (as though
looking over shoulders) ; then take
deep breach and swell out the throat
by forcing breath down it. This ex
ercize may be repeated a halt dozen
times but care should be used not
to go at it too vigorously. This is
i also a good way to induce sleep; it
| will work when medicine fails.
When Germans ride down the
Rhine they always sing "Die Lorelei” "
ns the boat goes past .the Lo relic
Rook.
