But we recognize that justice is seldom automatic, and for that reason the legion has advo cated the adherence by the United States to a permanent court of in ternational justice, with the necessary machinery and power to make its de crees effective.” Warning of the dangers involved for the United States in its relations with the rest of the world from the fact t’.iat the United States is “the creditor of the universe” was also sounded by the Legion commander. “This great country of ours will be ours only so long as the world knows that we are ready and pre pared to defend it."

BYNOPBIB Betsy Terwilliger and Hal Chut ney, In Hollywood as prize winners of newspaper contests for movie tryouts, are depressed by the num ber of people seeking work. Old timers see a mysterious resemblance In Betsy to someone they cannot remember. Betsy meets Virginia Perry, erstwhile star, now a failure. Hal flops dismally as a cowboy; and Betsy fails as a bathing girl. ,At their boarding house that eve ning Betsy receives the attentions of Marshall, reputed to be respon sible for many of the “broken hearts of Hollywood.” CHAPTER Vlll—Continued. Thus, although Betsy and Hal jhad not by any means been worn nut physically by the manual work if the day, the mental strain oc casioned by the heart-sickening downward gamut of their emotional experiences had been severe. Now. In the relaxation of mind and body jthat came with sitting down upon ithe shaded and fragrant porch on the pretty little side street atop one pf the low rolling hills that rim the taany bowls of the Hollywood sec tor, they found that they were as physically worn out and weary as phough they had “swung pickaxes all day,” as Hal put it. Later, during supper: “It’s the common feeling of the Studio ex tras,” commented Hammins upon Hal's description of how exhausted Betsy and he were. “The ordeals that are a part of every extra's day at a studio —heel-cooling in the casting office, standing for back breaking hours on end in the lot or on the stages without doing a thing—would knock a lumberjack out. Yet thousands of frail girls do it day after day, pitifully hoping for a chance that hasn’t a chance of happening. People outside of Hollywood talk about two things • Tm sorry this Is only a roadster.” here —the so-called 'wild parties,’ knd the beautiful scenery. Darn little of either that the poor, worn •ut extra gets a chance to sample ir see. Days that they work or flays that they don't It’s all the Same. The only thing they're not too tired at night to enjoy Is the tlimate—and Just between you. me, and the lamppost, 'climate' Is a loosely used word out here!” . Nevertheless, tired as they were, Betsy and Hal after supper took a fctroll In the brief but velvety soft kloamlng that Is not the least of the Coast’s semi-tropical charms and which brings a surcease of Interlude to many hearts dust-cov flred and bruised in the daytime turmoil of the movie lots. It was pleasant to walk thus through the purpling streets, to bee the exotic scenes. Boy and girl like they fell. In the sweet Involun tariness of young love. Into a hand in-hand stroll; and the warm clasp bf palms was a torch that relighted and regilded ail their bright and pulsing dreams. 1 The cares and the troubles of the day stole away be fore the precious closeness of this quiet hour. For Betsy the row on row oi quaint little bungalows dissolved out into aheep flocks, scattered over the Valley floor as she last saw K. How comforting it would bo to walk forever down the grassy windrows of that Valley palm to palm with this big boy of her heart/ It caused Betsy a guilty start to suddenly realise how much she had oome to think of Hal; and consciously In the half-dark she ventured a side look at his strong, ■clean-cut face to see whether or not 'he had sensed her presumptuous -thoughts presumptuous.

I’m not a bit disappointed. And yon mustn’t be. For all their beauties at the Studio, you’re by far the prettiest girl 1 laid eyes on today. I And it would be the same it I went j into a thousand studios!" She could love him for that I alone! Unsophisticated. Hal might be. and remote the town of his nativity and upbringing; but there was in him that sound wholesome ness of character that made his honest sentiments of heart articu late beyond his culture. A thrill streamed through Betsy’s blood fropa the sudden and Intense way in which he tightened his crushing grip of her hand. •“Betsy, dear,” he continued, "the very moment 1 have something definite In view, something to offer, 1 am going to ask you to be my wife. Then we’ll work and win fame and fortune together, dear.’’ For answer, Betsy returned the pressure of his hand with all the strength of her firm little muscles And to seal things, Hal, under ad vantage of the deepening dusk, drew up her hand, humbly bowed his lips to meet its slim beauty, and fervently kissed it. Thenceforth they walked as on wings; taking no heed of where they were getting to, or how— blissfully lost —until a voice from the road beside them split Into their airy flight. "You’ll never get to see much ol ! the scenery on foot. Miss Terwilli , ger.” It was Marshall in his roadster J purring slowly along the curb Id j pace with them. Betsy laughed awkwardly, and self-consciously let go of. Hal’s hand. “Just out for a little spin, and happened to, see you." lied Marshall, who in reality had trailed them from the house, though keeping discreetly behin-i until such time as he thought opportune. “Like to hop in?” Betsy was pleased with the at tention; womanlike, it was instinc | tive with her to improve every legitimate opportunity to make “contacts" that would tend to build up a background o' helpful ac quaintances. But, girllike, that was as far as she saw. And though she regretted the Interruption to the mood that had enveloped Hui and her, with feminine practicality she was moved to make the bee: of it. Before her ready acceptance could leave her lips, however, Hal spoke up frigidly. “We’re not sight-seeing. Jus! walking a bit for a rest, and ar« going right home.” “But, Hal,” urged Betsy, “it would be nice to enjoy a little ride.” Marshall smilingly held open A* door to the seat beside him. “I’in sorry,” he said to Hal, “that this is only a roadster, but maybe you can squeeze in and sort of sit on that door beside Miss Terwilliger.’’ “Don’t trouble yourself about room for me," said Hal, who fell that perhaps It was foolish of him to flout acquaintanceship in this man’s face, yet who could not help a decided feeling of distrust and dislike. “I’ll not go, although, of course, Miss Terwilliger can suit herself." Marshall looked with suave In quiry at Betsy, who in turn search ed Hal’s frowning face. It was her choice! She pleaded with Hal, but be merely said doggedly: “You go it you want to. Betsy, but I want to go home, now —I’ve several letters to write.” Betsy could not help resent Hal'd unreasoning stubborness. Only a moment before he was promising how he was determined to succeed for her sake; and now he was foi no apparent reason and In a most obvious and Impolite fit of child like bad temper throwing away d chance to Improve an acquaintance ship that might mean a good deal to both of them.

Not without qualms, yet given resolo tlon by the Inspiring thought that what she was doing was necessary and the best for Hal as well as herself, Betsy got Into the Beat be side Marshall. “Maybe Mr. Marshall can tell u> where we made our mistakes to day, and help us with his advice to make a better impression to morrow,” she said, in urging Hsi tor a last time to “squeeze in and come along.” With unshakeable finality Hal re-, fused, then watched with a heart that had been swiftly -plunged from bliss to dull misgiving while Betsy drove away with the man whom 1 Hal had been warned was one of the prime breakers of Hollywood hearts. , __ CTo be oaaUaned).

'' ■ ■; j All that’s best in a cigarette AFTER glorious exercise nothing is so refreshing as the fragrant smoke of a Camel. Wherever Camels go—to the seashore, to the mountains, to the office— they bring pleasure, full smoking enjoyment. No other cigarette made ever gladdened the taste of so many millions, for Camels are made of the choicest tobaccos grown. Camels alone satisfy the taste for all that’s best in a cigarette, for Camel blending can be found no where else at any price. Camels never tire the taste, never leave a cigaretty after-taste. R. J.

W GET RESULTS, Camel leadership over all other cigarettes shows that the smokers of America want Sttloking quality. Camel success is built up on good ness, by the world’s largest tobacco organization. Each year the mak ers of Camels spend millions for quality, and not one cent for frills or fancy wrappings. No two ways about it, Camels are the finest pleasure, the richest contentment that ever came from a cigarette. If you haven’t yet found the utmost in cigarette goddness, answer the most popular smoke invitation ever sounded— Have a Camel!

Waverly has been planned with pleasing liner and the In terior arrangement is handy and well worked out, and while planned primarily for a country home will appear equally as well in the city provided one has enough ground space. It really requires not less than 100 foot front, the house itself being about 63 feet across the front. The flrst floor contains living and din'Hp rooms, bed room and sun parlor, kitchen and bath, with plenty of cub beard and closet space. If the den is not required it may be omitted and the space used in the kitchen. An entrance to the basement is provided from the outside as well as from the in side. On the second floor are three bedrooms, a lavatory with closet for each bedroom, and plenty of storage space under the roof. The bouse is designed for tile walls with stucco exter ior, but, of course, may be built of frame. There is a full basement with laundry, vegetable, fuel and furnace rooms. Tuesday, June 22, 1926 S
