ESTABLISHED 1887 N. V., FEBRUARY 9, 1929 ST. REGIS FALLS VOL. XLIII HAD THE FAULKNER FAILING (A by D J. Walah.) S ARAH CODR hung another neat ly Ironed shirt upon the clot hoi bnre. It wm thin and patched. Clifford needed no me new shirt*, but, oh, how the hated to nmko them. It wai four o'clock of a flne full afternoon. Borah knew she should not be ironing at thut time of the day, but nor work had dragged. She had wanted to go to the Indoor picnic at the Merrlthews', but the felt that the and Clifford were too old to mingle with young folks' pleasures. Besides she did not care to make cake and sandwiches. Creak—creak—creak. Clifford was coming downstairs from his afternoon nap. fie always took a nap now that ht oo longer had • job. It had seemed foolish for him to keep on working at his ago, especially as they had enough to live upon frugally. Buruh wondered how Clifford could sleep so much. For her pnrt^he was ready half the time to fly out of her •kin. Even that creaky stairs made her Jumpy. Clifford, Sarah's huiband for forty years, entered the room. He was a tull, stooped, blue-eyed man, with a gentle sadness of countenance. Sarah was small and plump and dark-eyed. Her greeting to Clifford was to slap another shirt out upon the ironing- board. \I suppose they're just in the thick of the fun over at Merrlthewi',\ Clif¬ ford sighed. \I suppose they are. Helen Merrl- thew is terribly lively. She will have a good time whether anybody else does or not,\ returned Sarah enviously. \She makes me think of the wny you used to be at her age, Sarah,\ said Clifford. Sarah's lips tightened. Yes, she had been a bright girl. But now—Oh, It was awful to get old and what was worse to feel old. You stay old such a long time. \Guess I'll go out to the gnrden and Utart that bonflre,\ Clifford muttered The screendoor flapped behind him. It needed a spring, but Clifford did . not seem to find time to attend to It. That screendoor wns like everything else about the house. Sarah, sturlng after her htiRhnnd. thought she had never seen him look so stooped and shadowy. What ailed him? He didn't have anything to do but rest day in and day out. She hurl her duties—a smell of smoke arising from the Ironlngbonrd Rtnrtled away her thoughts. Good land I She hnd burned a hole In the sleeve of her checked gingham. A passionate desire to cry swept over her, and with this desire came a strange Interpretation of the look she had seen upon Cllf- - ford's face. Maybe he, too, felt the futility, the emptiness of life Just as she did. Borah put the Iron back upon the stove and ran out of the house to find Clifford. He was nowhere in sight. She put her hand to her heart, recall Ing that he had had a brother die for no apparent reason. It had been whis¬ pered at the time that he had taken something out of a bottle by mistake At that instant she heard Clifford's voice. He was behind the lilacs. Could he be talking to himself? They said his brother had talked to himself be¬ fore that awful thing happened. White, trembling, Sarah crept for¬ ward and peeped through the lilac screen. She could see Clifford. He stood facing back, his chta up. He was smiling. And he looked just as he had years ago when their romance had blossomed Into marrlago and she had thought him the finest young man In the world. As Sarah gazed at this transformed Clifford she heard a wom¬ an's laugh. There was a woman with ', Clifford. The woman had stepped Into Sarah's range of vision, but her back alone wus visible. It was a fttyllsh hack, having what the modistes call a svelte-line, and It was elnd In printed silk which was surmounted by a youthful hat and ended In silk ankles film enough to suggest tho Charleston. Again the woman laughed. \Cllf you're getting to be an old fogey I\ she cried. \And you're only sixty-one. Why groat books have been written, empires built, worlds won by men older than that. You ought to he enjoying every minute, earning good money, pursuing a hobby. You ought •• to hnve a radio, a car—a dancing teacher. Don't tell me you've given up. A man like you. Whose fault Is it? Yours or Sarah's? 8arah was a Faulkner. All the Kautkners got limp and wllty around middle life. I didn't think Sarah would, for she was a regular clip as a girl. Hut If she hat the Faulkner falling, Cllf, you've no business to wilt down with her. Your folks had elp and stamina. Your dad was a splendid man at eighty-nine. You'll probably live to ho eighty nine yourself, and what will you do for the next 28 years?\ \God knows I\ Clifford struck his hands together. \Say Amelia, come Into the house and talk to Sarah just as you've neon talking to me.\ Amelia 1 ICsen If the womnn had hot turned and shown her face Sarnh would now have known her. Amelia Scott who had hern such n splrltod competitor for Cllfford'n love that Sarah had had to put In her host lick* to get him for hcnwlf. Amelia Scott returned out of the silent mystery of years to stand here with Clifford In their p^ri'.en and Mmim* him of hHny the victim of tho l'\inill<nei fulling! Surah's tnul upper lip bended with perspiration Instead of retreating to the house and there awaiting Clifford and Amelia, she tied to Mrs. I'eok's arbor. From this secret hiding placH she saw Clifford go Indoors and heard him calling for her while Aiuellu stood on tho hack porch. \Never mind,\ Amelia said. \1 can't stay any longer now. I'll stop and see Sarah neit tlmo I'm driving out this way.\ She walked nimbly away to a big blue cur that was parked under the elm. She got In, shifted gears noiselessly and rolled away. When Clifford returned to tho gar¬ den Surah crept home. Back tn her kitchen she visualized Amelia's pres¬ ence and Interpreted Amelia's Impres¬ sion. The smoked wallpapor, the worn out linoleum, the broken stove, 8ho shivered as If she were cold. \Amelia Scott, she's Amelia Wills now, stopped on her way through the town,\ Clifford said at supper. \She wanted to see you, I looked all over for you but I guess you'd stepped out some place. Amelia was looking flne. She had one of those new sedans. She said she would stop again. She said you'd hear from her In a day or so.\ Noxt morning Clifford went away on some mysterious errand. Not long after the doorbell rang. There stood a messenger with a hatbox unmis¬ takably for Sarah. She took it, she opened It Within was such a hat as Sarah had never owned; an alluring thing of charm and color. Sarah's clear plump cheeks grew violently pink. Clifford's words came to her— \She said you'd hear from her in a day or so.\ Amelia had sent this hat It was her way of teaching Sarah a lesson. Sarah's first impulse was to stuff the hat in the stove; her next to try it on. It was every bit as good lookkyg as th» one Amelia had worn herself. And, good landl Sarab looked Just as good in it as had Amelia in hers. It covered her gray hair. Her soul hankered for It \Sarah 1\ she whirled 'round. Cllf* ford had come in at the back door and stood regarding her with a pleased look on his face. \Thank goodness you've got a decent hat at last I No— don't remove it. Let me look at you. Why, Sarah, girl, you're not old; we're not old. I'm only sixty-one. Great books hnve been written, empires built, worlds won by men older than that, 1 ought to be enjoying every minute, earning good money, pursuing a hobby—Sarah 1 I went down town and tackled Kilmer for a Job. And I got ltl Do you hear? I got me a Job I No letting myself slump from now on. Zip and stamina is my slogan. Can you keep up with me, Surah?\ She looked straight in his eyes. The corners of her mouth twitched. \Oh I'll keep up with you, don't yon worry, Clifford Conn,\ she said grimly. Suruh did keep up with her hus¬ band. -Indeed, she sometimes outdis¬ tanced him In the race he had set for himself. Suppose they did sacrifice a few bonds? Clifford was now getting a pay envelope and they could afford to let themselves go a bit The house began to look trim and tidy within and without Sarah sang at her work. The neighbors came to see what was going on, were Interested and cou- tlnued to be friendly. Miss Calkins, tho dressmaker, was gayly busy with a new wardrobe for Sarah. Sarah be¬ gan to appear in skirts almost as short as Helen Merrithew's and in the same style shoei and silk stockings. And she wore Amellu's hat Yes, she wore Amelia's hat because after all she was gruteful to Amelia for starting some¬ thing. She was tripping about her remod¬ eled kitchen one morning when some¬ body knocked at tho back door. It wus Amelia. \Maybe Clifford told you 1 Intended to come back and see you,\ Amelia said. She glanced admiringly about the room, at Saruh. \Isn't this flne? Aren't you flne?\ \What's the use of getting limp and wllty around middle life?\ retorted Sarah brightly. \All the Faulkners had that falling. I'm a Faulkner. But I won't own to the fulling. No, Indeed. Zip and stamina Is my slo- gan—* She paused for Amelia was t»yel\.£ 'nor shurply, recognizing her own words, doubtless. \Amelia how did you ever come to send me that cherry colored hat?\ she demanded. Amelia looked astonished. \1 sent you no hat. I was going to write to you but I didn't get around to do that even. Probably Cllf got you the hat, Sarah. He said you'd been married 40 years that day 1 was here and I told him he ought to get you an anniver¬ sary present My husband always gets me one.** Uncooked Meat Held Delicacy in Arctic It is surprising how much raw meat In a frozen state one can eat.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTJVENTS Senate Votes $24,000,000 to President to Use in Dry Law Enforcement By EDWARD W. PICKARD D ISREGARDING the earnest pro¬ test of Secretary of the Treas¬ ury Mellon, the senate last week tacked on to the deficiency bill an amendment, offered by Senator Harris of Georgia and then much altered, ap¬ propriating $24,000,000 to be placed in the hands of the President \to be nsed as he sees fit\ In increasing the personnel of the federal agencies charged with enforcement of the pro¬ hibition law. The senators also voted $200,000 for the prohibition investiga¬ tion proposed by President Elect Hoover. The vote on the former item was 00 to 27, and party and wet and dry lines were disregarded. Many prominent wets voted for the amend¬ ment and as many leading drys were against It. Mr. Mellon had warned the senators against appropriating such a hugh sum in advance of a definite plan for its expenditure. Bishop Thomas Nicholson, president of the Anti-Saloon league; Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist church, South, and E. L. Crawford, secretary of that organization's board of temperance and social service, had sont Mr. Mellon a .telegram demand- Ing that he support the Harris amendment or admit he was unwilling or unable to enforce prohibition. This drew from Senator Bruce of Maryland a fierce denunciation of those three men in the debate before the roll call. As finally passed by the senate, the deficiency appropriation measure also carried an amendment requiring pub¬ lic hearings on all tax refunds in ex¬ cess of $10,000. The bill carried $75,- 000,000 for tax refunds to be added to the $130,000,000 heretofore appropriat¬ ed for that purpose. There were strong indications that the conferees on this bill would re¬ ject the $24,000,000 prohibition Item but would accept the appropriation for the inquiry desired by Mr. Hoover. R ADICALS and pacifists in the sen¬ ate were successful In checking progress on the 10-crulser bill al¬ though they would not admit that they were filibustering against it. Representative Fred Britten, chairman of the naval affairs committee of the house, devised a plan that rather dis¬ mayed the opponents of the measure. Mr. Britten took steps to add the cruiser authorization bill and an ini¬ tial appropriation for the ships to the annual naval appropriation bill short¬ ly to come before the house. This procedure would have the effect of discharging the senate from further consideration of the cruiser authoriza¬ tion measure. With the provision for the cruisors Incorporated in tho ap¬ propriation bill, the pacifists could do- fuut the crulsnrs only by defeating the entire bill for upkeep of the navy In the next fliicul year. Mr; Britten laid his plan before Presldont Cool Id go and afterward he sold the Presldont Indicated a deslro to have the cruisers authorized and built but advocated elimination of the provision of tho bill requiring tho lay- Ing down of five cruisers each year. He wants no appropriations mado by this congress that would endanger the surplus in tho treasury. Mr. Coolldge, Senator Curtis and Senator Halo all believed the senate would soon pass the cruiser bill. O N MONDAY the sonato confirmed tho appointment of Hoy O. West of Chicago as secretary of the In¬ terior. The vote wan f>3 to 27, the negatives Including the radlculs and near radical* of both parties.

Among the notables who greeted him were Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, who rides In A wheel chair, and Jack Dempsoy. Mr. Hoover was soon taken to the J. O. Penney home on Belle island In Blscayne bay. Ono of his first callers was Stuart W. Craroeer, a wealthy cot¬ ton manufacturer of Charlotte, N. O., who helped swing his state to the Re¬ publican column last fall. He was a classmate of Secretary of the Navy Wilbur at Annapolis and the corre¬ spondents at once guessed he might be given Mr. Wilbur's portfolio as a recognition of the new political South. Mr. Crameer did not discourage this Idea, but declared that Mr. Hoover did not mention the subject of cabinet appointments during the call. Dwlght Morrow, ambassador to Mexico, who was in Miami on his way home from a vacation In Nassau, took breakfast with the President-Elect Thursday, and then all appointments were put oft until the next week and Mr noover and the members of his im mediate party left for a two days trip to the Florida koys to get som fishing.

Earlier In the week the Dollar liner President Garfleld, on a world cruise, ran on a reef in the Bahamas.

ORANE of Chicago, ^J former minister to China, had a miraculous escape from death at the hands of Wahabl tribesmen near Bas¬ ra. Motoring to Kowelt with his son, J. O. Crane, Charles Johnson and Uw r Dr. Henry Bilkert of the American mission at Basra, he was waylaid and fired upon and Doctor Bilkert wjis killed. None of the others was in¬ jured. The State department at Washington said that the attack might be explained by a feud between some of the tribes and others that are under the leadership of Ibn Saud, a personal friend of Mr. Crane. The Irak government resigned last week because of disputes with Great Britain over unfulfilled promises oi the British In regard to autonomy. UATEMALA had one of those at- tempted revolutions, three prov¬ inces being affected, and for a few days it looked rather serious. But the government forces took the field and effectually suppressed the affair. The headquarters of the rebels in Mazatennngo, a seaport, were bombed by airplanes and the city was occu* pled by the federul troops. All rebel leaders who were captured wore court- martialed and executed. 6 NCK more the old schema of con¬ structing a tunnel under the Eng¬ lish channel between England and France has been revived. Questioned In parliament, Prime Minister Bald¬ win stated that a nonpartlsan re-ex* omlnatlon of the project would be made. At tho same time the French commit* toe for constructing the tunnel adopt¬ ed a resolution pledging collaboration with the efforts to get the approval oi the British parliament. Economists have long advocated the construction of such a tunnel, but it has always boon opposod by military strategists. The English Socialists now favor the examination of the project provided the military are excluded. Engineers say the channel bore could bo built at a cost of about $lft0,000,000, and the railways like tho Idea.

PRIMER OF ALPHABET TURK'S BEST SELLER TRACE RACES TO SOUTHEAST ASIA Population Going to School All Over Again. New York.—Dictatorship Is accom¬ plishing In China, Turkey, and Italy In a few years what heretofore has required centuries—the building tip and enforcement of new languages Turkey, in particular, Is going to school all over again and everywhere, OB the streets, in the stores, In tbe street cars and trains Turks are por¬ ing over the primer decreed by Presl dent Mustapha Kemal Pasha, who be¬ lieves that adherence to the ancient Arabic script and type has bad a re tarding Influence upon tbe country. Everywhere the new primers are being sold by newsboys, news dealers, and In book stores. The Latin alpha bet wltb the equivalent of each let* ter In the Arabic script, also Is being displayed and sold for a few pennies on almost svery street corner. Signs on the stores and shops srs being changed to Latin characters, while the newspapers gradually are printing tbe news In the new type. Newspapers Help. \Schools have sprung up In every Village,\ says Miss Adelalds McNa- mara, director of exhibits In the New York city department of health, who recently returned from, touring Eu rope, \and I was amazed to note the progress being made in Turkey. Not many years ago when 1 was there less than 10 per cent of the popula tlon was literate, but now every one you meet Is reading, and tbe majority of them reading the new primer. \Every day tbe newspapers print the picture of some familiar object with the name beneath In the old Arabic and the new Latin characters In this way tbe entire population Is gradually being taught the new alpha bet One of tbe most striking things I noticed was that the traveler on the railroads for the first time can read the names of tbe stations be passes. \Mustapha Kemal seems to bav* won the whole country over to his point of view, and, at any rote, he is ) forcing the country to enlighten it self, for if the present desire for edu cation continues every man, woman and child in Turkey will be able to read and write, something many coun tries cannot boast\ Tbe new Latin alphabet is not only to come into current use but tbe Con stantlnople dialect is to become the criterion for Turkish pronunciation according to Miss Elizabeth MacCu) lum, who is in charge of the Near East division of the Foreign Policy association. Miss MacCullum thinks tbe average Turk Is sure to feel a relief at seeing the exact phonetic value as pictured by the new Latin- Ued alphabet | \The Turkish primer, or alphabet, Which President Kemal has sought to enforce upon the Turkish nation,** says Miss MacCullum, \in place of the Arabic characters, Imposes a num¬ ber of characters whose phonetic val¬ ues are borrowed mainly from the French and Hungarian alphabets, to¬ gether with a few conventional char¬ acters adopted from the system In use among international orientalists. Turks, Mongolians. M A striking feature of the Turk¬ ish language, when transcribed into Latin characters, Is the new phonetic values which lie bidden behind the garb of Arabic letters. It should be borne In mind that whereas the Turks are a Turanian people and belong to the Mongolian race, the Arubs are Semites. When the Turks caine in contact wltb the Arabs and absorbed thcli culture, customs, and political heritage they adopted th?Ir religion nnd wrote their cwn longing» In Arc blc characters. But the two languages Turkish being Turanian and Aruhli Semitic, are Incompatible linguistical¬ ly. Hence a marked difficulty arose. \This difficulty lay mainly In that tho Arabic language quite Infrequently fulls to produce the exuet sounds of the Turkish vocables. So that a num bor of Arabic letters have bad to ac¬ quire a new pronunciation. For in stance, the word Turk itself may be transcribed Into English thus: T, as in Engllsbj U, as in fluke; R, as In English; 1; as In English. Accord ing to Arfi\ fflfrphonology, It should be pronounced \Tuork. Out the Turks pronounce j It Teurkv the U as the French pronounce It thus creating a new sound to the Arabic U, or Wuw, as the letter Is called. 11 Indians, Eskimos and Poly* nesians Said to Be) Kin., Honolulu.—That the North Ameri can Indians, the Eskimos and tbe Polynesians were related and alt sprang from root stocks of southeuit ern Asia was announced by Dr. Her bert Earnest Gregory, director of in* Bishop Polynesian museum bere, t» established after eight years' Invest! gallon by the museum staff. Doctor Gregory, a geologist of note, who also bus been a member of tht faculty of Yule university since 1904 gave the following other conclusions of the scientists of the Bishop mu sen in, after compiling evidence throughout Polynesia: The Polynesian race originated In southeastern Asia, including India and Indo-China. Several racial elements constitute the Polynesian type, the predomlnat Ing ones being Caucasian and MOD golold. There Is oo connection between tht Polynesian! and the African negroids The Chinese and Japanese unquea tionably sprang from the same racial roots as the Polynesians to whom they probably were related In the di* tant past The Polynesians did not originate In Central or 8outn America. The Hawaiian branch of the Polynesian race came from the southeastern Asl atic coust by way of Raiatea In tbe Society Islands, first settling in Hawaii between 1100 and 1800 A. D. Findings of tbe scientists charac¬ terized the migration of the Poly nealun race as \very late** from the scientific standpoint and concluded that there is no people today who are pure blooded descendant* of tbe flrst Polynesians. . Gregory said thai while evidence obtained was sufficient to permit the formation of definite conclusions and theories, the Investigations still were Incomplete. New Aluminum Soldering Process Has Big Value Stockholm.—A new method for tin¬ ning and soldering aluminum bas just been evolved by two Swedish invent¬ ors, 0. M. Eklund and Harry Johans¬ son.
