Strange, too, apparently temperamentally unfitted for the uncloistered, competitive race of the business world, he took to it as the proverbial duck takes to water. Business men, financiers, bankers, magnates. Industrial captains found him quick, sympathetic, shrewd and eager to match his wits against theirs. He was the surprise of their lives to his three brothers. He was more than that, he was apparently a surprise to himself, because more and more, as his fortune climbed and his authority in the business world became more established, Myron found himself too dazed, when he took time to contemplate, to quite realize what it all was about. He was rich. He was influential. He was in a position to gratify his whims for travel, books, erudition, music, and cultural pursuits of any and all kinds. He was a person miles removed from the college professor, and yet at heart and soul he was that college professor, strangely endowed with a power which seemed to be no By FANNIE HURST by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

At twenty-fivdown the chair of English history in the university from which he had graduated. His three brothers, thrown on their own resources at early age as he had been, drifted, the two younger ones, and the third his twin, into business pursuits that were ultimately to cast them all into the destiny of big affairs. Harold and Steve, the younger boys, struck it well in the radio industry while the vast Industry was still in its infancy. Bartlett, Myrons twin, was to be worth reputed at twenty-fivof a million dollars from fortunate investments in copper. The three brothers, successful all at an early age, were none the less prideful of Myron. He represented the intellectual status of the family. He lent eclat and distinction. Had he permitted it, the three brothers would willingly and generously have aided and abetted his modest earnings as professor. , That, however, was not necessary. Myrons scale of life fitted and pleased him well. A pleasant suite in a boys dormitory, where he incidentally held the position of dean. Varied if modest summer vacations, going tourist fashion to Europe, or camping In the north of Canada with two or three of the members of the faculty. Books.

It was not unpleasant. There was never a time when he found himself consciously hankering for the old days of the simple suite in the boys dormitory where he had acted as sort of overseer of their conduct. That was all passed now. The innocuous professor since those days had endowed the very university where he had taught English history with a library of books on that special subject, said to be the finest in the world, and it was more than possible that similar gifts from him would be forth- e three-quarte- rs coming. No, as Myron grew older and more Influential and certainly richer, it could not be said of him that he entertained regrets for those simple teaching days that were gone. Except, every time he made a noticeable disposition of his money, It found its way Into college coffers. Dormi- tories for men.

The shrewdness, they called it, of a babe in the wood. It turned out to be more than that.

Ancient Notion Incorrect The. weather bureau says there Is no reason why storms should be more frequent or severe on September 21 or 22 (autumnal equinox) than on September 10 or 11, say, or 29 or 30 ; nor, in fact, are they. The same Is true of the spring or vernal equinox. This whole notion about equinoctial storms" is erroneous, and It even is uncertain how, where, when or by whom the idea was started. It is only known that in one form or another it goes back at least to 1748. Spreading Joy He who is filled with happiness, though seemingly absorbed, emanates pleasure on whoever crosses his way.

You pay a tax on every gallon of gasoline you buy. Your state levies this tax to pay for building good roads. But your state is not getting all the money paid as a gasoline tax.

The racketeer keeps this tax money himself! You get your tax back in the form of good roads when the state collects the tax. You get nothing when racketeers get your money. And remember if your state got all the money paid as tax, it could well afford to lower its gasoline tax! If you want your money to go into road building instead of into the racketeers pockets, make sure the gasoline you buy is not bootlegged. g Buy gasoline made by a reliable, company and sold under n a dependable, brand name, and be certain that your tax law-abidin- well-know- money goes to your state and not to the racketeers. way to beat the racketeers.
