Women's Clubs Welcomed To Provo Dedicated to the theme of "Education For Service," the Utah Federation of Women's clubs, is now meeting in its forty-fifth annual convention in Provo. Opening sessions were conducted Thursday, and the proceedings will continue todav and Saturday. It is a source of great pride to the people of Provo to be hosts to the federation this year. Everything possible has been prepared by the members of the local arrangements committee far 4he convenience and comfort of the visiting delegates. It is to-be hoped that the visitors partake to the fullest extent of the hospitality of the people of the city while the convention is in progress. The women's clubs are becoming year by year a greater potent force for- community and social betterment. Devoted to the highest "ideals of service, the organization has already achieved many worthy accomplishments for the welfare of humanity. The field of the federation is widening and even greater tasks lie ahead to be taken up in the years to come. Chin Music Two barbers in Twin Falls, Idaho, have figured out that the average man grows about 7604 feet of hair a year. If the whole country's crop were laid end to end, they say, it would reach around the world 1728 times. Something certainly, ought to be done. about this. With vthe world in the state it's now in; you can't just let a thing like this go. If nobody gets any good ideas, the sheared and razored hair henceforth can be stored away in the halls of Congress during the summer recess until a good use is found for it, but here are some suggestions that might help out: If the -country just can't get along without the customary custom-ary quota of stuffed shirts, why not flood the market with shirts stuffed with the barber shop output and drive the other kind of stuffing out of business? Put a few of the unemployed to work weaving the hair into a net to keep the French cabinet together. These days there ought to be a big market among Europe's Eu-rope's political leaders for an assortment of hair shirts, if there are any consciences left. The field of possibilities staggers the imagination. The chances are that right now the Germans, apparently the world's ersatz champiens, are making their old beards into barbed wire. After all,, what's the point of gathering statistics if something worthwhile, isn't worked out with them? OUT OUR WAY By WILLIAMS Cramming and Cramming You'd think that the. obvious solution to the problem of attaining the school girl figure' would have suggested itself long before this. Be a school girl. A survey made recently showed that during the cramming period . . . no, no not food-cramming, ladies? knowledge-cramming . . . the girls lost, altogether, 13,860 pounds. Women have no excuse now for "putting it on," because the people who plot the class schedules at colleges col-leges offering courses to adults, have seen to it that they have no excuse for not going to college. There's only one catch to this study-and-grow-thin plan, which you must have .thought of by now if you remember your school days. Cramming is what you do to make up for six weeks of looking out the classroom window or drawing pictures in your notebook. What reason is there to expect that the women who now kill themselves taking it off. and then put it right back on again by allowing themselves an intermission, are not going to do exactly what their kid sisters do .after exams are over: go back to sleep? They Gave Man Wings The Wright brothers, inventors of the airplane, are to be honored April 16. birthday of the late Wilbur Wright, when 200 leaders in science and industry will meet at Dearborn, Dear-born, Michigan, to dedicate the restored buildings, moved to Ford's Greenfield Village, where the Wrights made the world's first successful airplane. Orville Wright will be there, joining others in paying tribute, to his brother and co-inventor, who gave his life so that men might fly. It is just a little over '." years ago that the rickety little Wright machine rose into the air for a breath-taking moment, and Man had conquered another element. Today, we casually talk of regular transatlantic service to be established this summer; we consider commonplace the news that s'(xn 100-passenger. planes w ill be doing world service. The airplane has become a part of civilization, and is going to become an even greater factor in our lives as the years go by. Just as we look back -on the days .of other great men. so future historians will declare that our own age was a high mark in history, giving us such men as the Wrights, Edison and Marconi. And it is all because such men as the Wright brothers were willing to work, and sacrifice, and dared to do things of -which other men onlv dreamed.

We can't imagine anything any-thing nicer than sitting in a hotel and fishing from the window. Joe says he doesn't understand anything about this income tax business, but he would like to know how much money he saves by not having any. Some women have such a keen sense of humor that they take their husbands as a joke; CHAPTER XII JOB made a flying tackle, seized the professor from behind, and after a minute's fierce fighting, fight-ing, had Bracey down. The statue get it!" Bob gasped. The little image was finally handed to him. He turned it bottom bot-tom side up and slid aside a tiny cover to the hollow inside. The next minute the famous emerald lay in his hand. He held it out to Steve, who was staggering groggily to his feet. "Professor Bracey, eh? That ain't what they call .you in. Italy," the , detective snorted, glaring down at him. "The same stunt you pulled when you smuggled in stuff from London in that Museum statue. Your game's up but say, you sure had a nerve to show up in this town. Must think the police po-lice force is dead on its feet!" A ITER the last echo of excite-ment excite-ment over the arrest of Bracey Bra-cey had died away, and the Duchess' Duch-ess' sensational ball came to an ending which was wholly anticlimax, anti-climax, Pat came padding down the hall, carrying a covered bowl, which gave off tantalizing aromas. He leaned an inquisitive ear against the door of Kathleen's studio. At the sound of voices inside, in-side, a pleased grin spread over his face and he knocked. "Its a mulligan I thought ye might be loikin some of, Miss Kathy," he told her when she opened the door. "And Mr. Mc-Tavish Mc-Tavish here too! Now ain't that lucky!" He gazed in deep admiration admira-tion at the black eye that Bob displayed. "A foine time was had by all, eh? The Duchess got her trick jewel, the. professor got his come-uppance, and you git a chance to punch his nose, not to mention runnin' off with his gurl, and" ""TID they really find that Bra-cey Bra-cey had had the scar removed?" re-moved?" interrupted Kathleen hastily. "They did that," Pat answered. "It was me own razor the detective detec-tive used whin he scraped off that long sidebum the professor was j minded her. "We seemed very about things that happened 'at the party, Pat,", remarked Kathleen. "And why shouldn't I?" he asked. "Ye're forgittin I was the lad woikin' the Cupid's darts, be-gorrah! be-gorrah! What's to prevent me turnin' thim where I plased? That's how I see the Duchess whin McTavish here left her a settin alone on that stone bench, which the same ain't any colder or harder thm her own face as she stared after him." "I did notice you kept the light on Bracey pretty steadily," said Bob, to change the subject. ""TID you suspect the professor was after the emerald, Pat?" asked Kathleen. "Did you think he'd actually steal anything?" "No and yes," answered the Irishman. "I knew he wasn't trailin' 'round with the Duchess for nothing. His kind never does, and whin I see him givin' ye sich a grand rush, I didn't put one thing past him. Ye see,- Miss Kathy, ye're new here in the city, while I've been sweepin' up after folks a long time now, and have kind a cleaned up an idea or two 'bout thim." He glanced at her anxiously to see how she was taking tak-ing his rebuke, then changed the subject abruptly. "How 'bout me goin' up and lettin' Schmatz down to taste that mulligan, too? With all the goin's-on here all night, he must not got much sleepin' done." "Sure. Here's my key." Bob-held Bob-held it out,, and walked with him to the door. Then he turned to the girl with a smile. "That's the nearest Pat ever could come to slapping your wiists, Kathleen, in spite of all the anxious hours he and I put in for fear you were going to fall for Bracey. He came up to my room to talk it over more than once, but there didn?t seem to be much we could do about it." Kathleen's eyes snapped with an Irish defiance of their own. "You were so taken up with the Duchess,- Bob, I didn't suppose you'd care or notice what I did." she said. "Even Schmatz didn't stop at the door as he did at first." Because Bracey was always supper down here together. Only I didn't think I had the right to : say so probably haven't now. He shrugged rather ruefully. A wire-haired terrier and a typewriter type-writer aren't very imposing possessions, pos-sessions, are they?" f TTATHLEEN did not reply for a minute, then she laid her hand on his. "Aren't you forgetting forget-ting the most important thing of all, Bob?" she asked. She answered an-swered her own question. "And that is I love ycu, too, Bob if you'll have me.1' "Have you!" His arms were about her, and for a minute they were in a world of their own, a world in which everything was swept aside except the miracle of their love. Such trifles as rent bills,- things to eat, and all the petty demands that make up life in a work-a-day world were forgotten. for-gotten. Suddenly the studio had become a place of enchantment and glory, and only their fresh young hope for the future counted. fYou see I can go right on making mak-ing rhymes and you can. hunt criminals just the same," Kathleen Kath-leen planned with shining eyes. "And we'll save the rent on one studio. Oh, Bob, to think this would happen to me when thought I couldn't make the gradK and would have to go back to Gloversville, and Joe Williams, and Aunt Hattie telling me to put on my rubbers." Bob smiled down at her and gently pushed her head back against his shoulder. "Just try and do it now. young lady. I'd tend to seeing about your rubbers from now on, unless say, you're willing to put up with Schmatz and his muddy feet, aren't you? Love me includes my dog, you know." For answer her arms crept about his neck and her red lips pressed his. Neither of them noticed no-ticed that the door had opened, until Schmatz catapulted into the room. "Evcuin' me plase now," said Pat with a broad grin. "Ye seem to be plenty busy. Don't be for- so proud of. There was the thin white line as plain as the nose on ycr face. He's the feller they're after, all right, all right. Ye'll be goin' down to collict yer part o' the reward, eh, McTavish? It ought to be a likely sum, enough to buy well, a lot o' things." "I hadn't thought about that," said Bob, glancing at Kathleen. "You seem to know quite a lot here in person, or his presents ; gittin' to give the dog some o' that were being delivered," i3ob re- j mulligan." The door closed with a bang. Bob looked solemnly at Kathleen. Kath-leen. "The old sinner! Say, did you know before that Cupid was Irish?" She smiled up at him. "No. And I didn't suspect he smoked a pipe either, did you? Probably carried his tobacco in his quiver, and all these years we've been thinking it was arrows ' much out of the picture." "And that made a difference with you, Bob?" she asked softly. "All the difference between being be-ing blissfully happy or more wretched than I'd ever supposed I could be, Kathleen. There never has been anyone but you, no matter mat-ter how things looked. I love you, dearest.

Husband Housekeepers .IV- BY X REPORTER If the husband is jobless and the wife can get a job, shall the husband take over the tasks of housekeeping? I- am not going to try to provide pro-vide a yes-or-no answer for this problem. It is being answered in various ways all over America today. The necessity for the existence of such . a problem is regretful, and the best hope is that that necessity won't last long enough to crystallize a national Lhabit. Here are a few words on the subject from one who signs herself her-self "Non-Career Woman," writing writ-ing a letter to the editor of a newspaper on the eastern seaboard. sea-board. She has been the bread winner of her family for five years. "I would not have minded being be-ing a rourxl peg in a square bole so much, if it were not for the devastating results to my husband. hus-band. There's no doubt about it, a man's soul disintegrates when his normal career is suspended and he is forced, by conditions not of his own making to accept support sup-port from his wife. This is particularly particu-larly true of a man such as my husband, who is proud and sensitive. sensi-tive.
