With the influx of students' at the Brigham Young university, the problem will become more serious during the next few weeks. Already, real estate men report that houses and rooms for rent are hard to find. Classified ad columns are being eagerly eager-ly scanned daily by prospective renters before the ink is dry on the daily newspaper. Building activities began slowing .down in Provo about 19.30. The financial stringency accompanying the depression, depres-sion, increasing difficulty to get loans, .and the mounting tax burden on homes, personal property and improvements, all were factors responsible for the gradual cessation of building construction. Young married couples who desired homes of their own since 1929 have ,been in many cases unable un-able or unwilling to finance such a venture, and have become be-come resigned to pay rent. The problem which is probably more or less general throughout the country, is one that must be solved, because it lies at the foundation of the nation's welfare. The greatness great-ness and security of the country has always been found in the great amy of homeowners. With student accommodations, especially for housekeeping housekeep-ing apartments, nearly exhausted, many Provo property owners could well afford to avail themselves of the financing plan provided by the government housing administration. Alterations could be made in scores of instances by which tlf ' investment would be repaid in a short time under present Conditions. After Four Centuries ago, when the Spaniards were looting the incalculably in-calculably rich treasure chests of the Incas of Peru, the job f-getting the gold home safely was a ticklish and uncertain one. tonk the spite of the fact that the whole Spanish navy was sent out f rriiavri thpm F.no-lish corsairs o-ot their hands on plenty of it. The noble art of hi-jacking was. performed in a way to turn the Spaniards' hair gray. One is reminded of this, somehow, by the extreme precautions pre-cautions that had to be taken when the federal government began to move $2,000,000,000 in gold from the San Francisco mint to the Denver mint. A small army of police, federal men, and soldiers was on hand to guard it. Two hundred machine ma-chine guns were ready to shoot down hi-jackers. The moral is unpleasant, but clear. Conditions in the United States today are very much like those on the high seas "in the lawless 16th century. LIQUOR STAMPS IN DRY STATES The fact that dealers in hard liquor have purchased a special tax j stamp from the collectors of in- ternal revenue does not exempt these dealers from the violation -; of stale law and the punishment coining under these state laws, it was pointed out today by Police Chief John Harris following an ! investigation of the existing laws on the sub.iect. Under the laws ofthe United States the imposition of taxes on retail dealers and wholesale dealers in fermented malt liquors is made, j Payment of these taxes is shown j by special tax stamps issued by i the collector of internal revenue Centuries bullion across the Atlantic, but for the district in which the business busi-ness is located. The issuance of a special tax stamp by the federal government under an act of congress is no bar to an indictment under a state law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating in-toxicating liquors, Chief Harris finds. It is held that special tax stamps are merely receipts for the tax and carry no privileges except immunity from prosecution prosecu-tion for non-payment of the tax. Chief Harris is of the opinion that the legalized sale of liquor in Utah when it comes should be handled through special dispensaries, dispensar-ies, similar to the Canadian method. meth-od. This would provide adequate control and would give the state" and the cities the revenue, with enforcement according to thelaw. Richmond, Eng., register office was closed recently.

In hia later life his creative work was so great that he was asked to join the French Academy, the one stipulation being that he abandon the profession -of actor. Moliere refused. "Why do you refuse?" asked Boileau, who had been commissioned commission-ed to entreat him to Join. " "A point of honor is involved," replied the author. "A point of honor?" said Boileau in amazement. "Yes, a point of honor.

As his work and reading habits bad not changed, the physician waa at a loss to account for the Improvement Im-provement until he asked some questions. ques-tions. "Fou are feeling better physically than you were a year ago, are you aot?" "Year the patient answered, "I feel brighter and more like work, oot ao lazy as I waa a year ago." "Had any dental work done?" "Yes. I had an X-ray of my teeth and the dentist found three teeth that were badly infected and removed re-moved them.

C Stelnbugler tells us In the New York State Journal of Medicine that pyorrhea, flental decay, and root Infection are frequent causes of eye infection, and, In addition to affecting the eyesight, eye-sight, set up local inflammations In and about the eyea. The most dan-geroua dan-geroua form of tooth Infection la that In which the pulp (nerve and blood vessels) is affected, aa this diseased or poisonous material Is forced into the blood stream and hence goes to all parts of the body Including the eye. Doctor Stelnbugler admits that every effort should be made to preserve the teeth owing to their importance In breaking up food and allowing the digestive juice In the mouth to moisten and soften food, and turn starch Into sugar, nevertheless never-theless It should be remembered that In doubtful cases the eye should be given first consideration and the removal of Infection from the mouth should come before preserving pre-serving the teeth. During the war a very skillful pilot pi-lot began to make poor landings. He waa ordered to report for medical examination and lt was found that his tonsils were in very bad condition. con-dition. Removal of tonsils restored his vision to normal and there were no more poor landings. Infection was the cause of the trouble. If therefore your eyesight seem to be falling or yon are troubled with any Inflammation about the eyes, a visit to the dentist Is advisable advis-able before having your glasses charged.

"Of course I'm here, but a nurse could do a lot more to make you comfortable." But Jane would not listen. A cable bad come from Howard How-ard and been sent on from Marburg. Mar-burg. He and Professor Ellert bad landed safely after a smooth crossing. They were going to Berlin first and then start tbeir expedition. There was ft mention of unsettled conditions w b i c b might change tbeir plans. Amy bad neglected the newspapers but now she looked at tbem for an explanation. To ber amazement and dismay tbey were full of war rumors, with Germany truculent and menacing. Jane laughed at ber fears. "My Sear." she said, "even If they do have a war It won't bother the Americans who are over there, all they'll bave to do Is turn aro:nu and come borne. I don't believe they'll hare a war. It's Just that crazy old Kaiser waving wav-ing himself around and showing Dff." "1 know, Jane, but Professor Ellert Is old and feeble, it'll upset up-set bim dreadfully." Sbe was really thinking of Howard and the trouble it would be tor him to take care of the frail, exacting exact-ing old man. but neither she nor Jane bad the least Idea of what difficulties would and did happen to Americans who were so unlucky un-lucky as to be traveling in the embroiled countries at the beginning begin-ning of "hostilities. Amy merely Imagined that Howard and Professor Ellert might bave to come -back without accomplishing their pilgrimage, and It would be a pity. That prospect did uot disturb ber nearly near-ly so mo eh as Jane's unchanging resolve to give her child for adoption as soon as it should he born. No matter what she said, she could not move Jane one Inch. They argued about it until un-til both were sharp and exhausted. exhaust-ed. - "You're not logical." cried Jane "You don't believe' a child ts belter bel-ter off with people who'll love it than with someone who never will be able to stand looking at lt!

SCIENCE German scientists, with an eye on the year when a wheat and rye famine threatens, have perfected a way to keep bread for an indefinite indefin-ite period. The bread is frozen with dry ice. When the bread is thawed out, it is fresh and reputedly re-putedly as good as newly baked bread. A patent on the process has been applied for in this country. coun-try. The chief difficulty in keeping baked bread fresh has always been the impossibility of keeping molds of various kinds from forming, form-ing, either inside the loaf or outside. out-side. The bread that is sometimes called "stale" is literarlly infested infest-ed with a brown mold, while bread that has been kept in a fternlty can be nothing but a physical thing.

Oh, Jane, it would be unforgiveable." "It's no use. I'm going to do it. You simply don't understand." They went over it again and again. But Jane continued to search after channels of adoption which would give the protection of secrecy to the mother in spite of all Amy could say, and at last refused to answer, put her bands over ber ears and kept them there whenever Amy protested. "Leave me alone, can't you? 1 feel so wretched already," she said. At last Amy felt lt waa better to say nothing more, because she saw bow ill Jane was and bow near ber time, but she thought.

Amy thought, to enter a world where It was unwanted. Jane did not suffer very much. "She's perfectly normal. Everything's Every-thing's all right." Miss McNeal kept saying, "but It's 6o inconvenient incon-venient here. If we were only In a hospital now!" Early In an August morning the hour came and before dawn Jane's child was born, a girl, small, but perfect and strong. When she had been bathed and rubbed with oil and her first few garments put on her, Miss McNeal handed her over to Amy. "Lay her to sleep somewhere safe," she directed, "since there's no crib.", A MY sat down with the child In her arms and looked at It. She had never seen so young a baby before and this queer little dark-eyed wrinkled creature seemed to ber rather a blind little lit-tle mole or mouse than a. human child, a little ugly fumbling animal, ani-mal, utterly helpless, unwelcomed, to be flung into any possible fate the callous cruelty of lt struck Amy afresh. "But it's i m p o s s I b 1 e!" she thought. "Jane can't do it. It she does I'll hate her forever. But she can't, no one could. This little, lit-tle, little baby!" Presently Doctor Doc-tor Lacey came out of Jane's room. "It's an odd thing," he told Amy, "but 1 happened to hear a day or so ago of some people who want to adopt a girl baby with good blood, you know I'll get in touch with them and find out what can be arranged. Tbey stipulated just what Miss Terry wants in one way 1 mean, they don't want to know the real mother's moth-er's name and they don't want her to know theirs to pievent the mother claiming the child latr o;, you understand." "But Jane's hardly seen her baby. Doctor." otamniercd Amy. "I'm hoping when she does, sbe won't let it go." Doctor Lacey shrugged. "She told me to go ahead, to hurry." Amy held the child closer, walked past the doctor and into the bedroom where Jane, in a bleak and druggish aura, lay exhausted. ex-hausted. Amy spoke clearly and very gravely: "Are you still bound to give this child away. Jane. And let her belong entirely to someone some-one el.se and never claim her back?" The spark in Jane's eyes became be-came almost gay. "You sound like the Bible." she murmured. "Yes, of course I'm going to give the child away. And such luck! Doctor Doc-tor Lacey knows of somebody." "Then will you give her to me?" "I told you I'd do that the day you came. But you don't want her!" "Yes, 1 want her. Only she must be entirely mine. Jane. My child! You must never try lo get her away from me." "1 never will." (Copyright. 1904. by Sophia Krr T B ConOaoedj |
