The New View of City Government
City government always has been the weakest point
fof our American democracy.
The federal government is antiquated cumbersome
and inflexible but It has worked amazingly well. State
governments while far from perfect have on the whole
been pretty satisfactory. But municipal governments
have blended inefficiency favoritism graft and expense
into a mixture which has been the despair of good citizen-
ship.
When Joseph V. McKee acting mayor of New York
declared recently that people are “sick and tired” of these
abuses and are not going to allow them to continue he
pointed to what many believe is going to be a turning of
the tide—the beginning of the end for politics-ridden city
government of the traditional type.
McKee’s case is uncommonly interesting since it
typifies the trend all over the country and since New
York has illustrated the defects of American city govern-
ment in their most glaring form.
We find in New’ York a public demand for McKee
arising; a demand so widespread and determined that
politicians are already seeing a city-wide repudiation of
Tammany at the polls next fall.
Ths comes not because the man is a “reformer” or a
spell-binding uplifter but simply because he has shown
that it is perfectly possible for the city to have an efficient
and economical city government.
1 And the w’hole point is that until very’ recently none
of us really cared in the least whether our city govern-
nents were efficient and economical or not. Money was
plentiful and politics was a bore; we w'ere willing to take
the easiest course let the political rings have their own
way and put up with waste and corruption in and about
our city halls.
We don’t feel that way any’ more. Out of the de-
pression has risen a new’ realization of the value of decent
government. That Acting Mayor McKee should be emerg-
ing as a national figure because of that fact is one of the
most encouraging signs that has come upon the horizon
in a long time.
A Sensible Move
. Vha federal government is preparing to exercise far
stricter supervision over projected transatlantic flights
than it has exercised in the past; and anyone who can re-
member the long series of ill-advised ventures which
came to grief in mid-octf&n is bound to applaud the move
as a very sensible one.
There will still be plenty of room for all flights
which have a genuine concern with the advancement of
aviation as their main object. The work of charting the
air lanes and linking ocean-separated continents together
will go on as rapidly as before. No one need fear that the
progress of the real air pioneer is going to be handicapped.
But the publicity-seekers the half-baked thrill-seek-
ers the stunters—these will have to do their flying over
dry land hereafter. And the chances are that the public
^von’t mind a bit.

Most alert and inventine crea-

explained.) They seize each break
however insignificant and push
to the ultimate those intervals be-
tween the appearance of police-
men with their "move on" warn-
ing.
But something approximating th1'
"pay-of!" might have been noted
j the other day Just off Times Square.

ably scheduled to decorate a

appeal to the magmalion and the

Thus. I read in a curTiit issue
that “a sea lion tamer Is at lib-

jobless sea-lion tamer do except
tame more sea lions? And just
how does one go about finding un-
trained sea lions?
And then there are "four train-
ed bears at liberty" in Union City.
Ind. I haven’t the slightest idea
what I would do with four trained
bears on my hands. Mayhap of
evenings. I would call them In and
tell them a bedtime story* about the
three bears thus making one of
them self-conscious and possessed
cf an inferiority complex. Mayhap
I would read in their eyes a wist-

higher education gets us!” they
would seem to say....

over problems on which their
opinion will not be sought or re-

■ As many of the vital issues
which have not bothered me for
the last four years will not take
much of the new vice-president's
time either it seems fitting that
Mr. Gamer and I get together and
ignore them as an indication of
good feeling and national har-
moy” said Mr. Curtis.
"Certainly I Intend to accept”
said Mr. Gamer by long distance
from his Texas home. "At a time
like this there must be many
grave problems about which the
retiring vice-president knows very
little. It will get me off to a
traditional start in the office If a
meet him and we exchange our
lack of views.”

disease or who are recovering
from it.
There are moreover healthful
carriers of diphtheria who al- j
though they have recovered from
the disease still carry the germs
about and distribute them to peo-
ple who have not had the disease
It is not safe for anyone to gam- j
ble on the possibility that a child
infected with this disease does not
really have diphtheria but simplv
seme mi’d throat infection. Most
of the serious results can be
avoided if the child is seen early
in the course of the disease and if
proper treatment is given imme-
diately.

important In small children be-

it has been pronounced free from

germs capable of causing diph-
theria have been carried in rne
throats of children who have recov-
ered from the disease for as long
as 10 months.
In more than 10 per cent of all
cases a few of the germs can oe
found in the throat two weeas
after all signs of the disease seen
to have disappeared from the
throat and in 1 per cent of the
cases the germs are still found in
the throat four weeks after the
child ;s apparently well.
It is the duty of the physician
in charge of the patient to pro-
nounce it well and he will not wish
to do this as long as the germs
are still in the throat. Sometimes
when the germs persist for longer
than *hree or four weeks it is
necessary to use active antisept.es
in the throat and in a few in-
stances the germs have persisted
until the tonsils of the child have
been removed.

CHAPTER XX
^/1TH » quick pressure of bis
hand Tom turned away.
Linda watched btm cross the brief
•tretch of lawn beard his brisk
step on the stone flags and saw
him vanish through the .casement
window. She was suddenly glad
that though she could not see
him he v-oukl be there near the
window and facing toward the
lawn apparently absorbed In sol-
emn figures and reports but con-
stantly she was sure glancing out
to where she sat in plain view and
only a step away from help—If
help were needed.
Yet she was. after all. alone.
Alone and forced to wait with
apparent calm for something Im-
possible to Imagine in advance.
Yes waiting was hardest of all.
She could bear anything better.
It must have been quite 10 min-
utes since Tjm left her—longer
since her guests scattered after
luncheon to their different occu-
pations. The house stood silent
and calm. Thoughtful bands had
straightened the spindles of the
balcony and adjusted tbo top rail
so that the effect was much as al-
ways. Cousin Amos was gone ob-
literated the very evidence of bis
death removed and all that was
left of the old man had been tak-
en from her house unobtrustiva-
iy. almost furtively.
No Cousiu Amos was not for
gotten. As Linda dropped her;
eyes from the balcony to which
she had raised them in a mute
pledge she saw Marvin Pratt come
through the casement and look
about bim. She knew he could
see her perfectly well in the dec- j
orative green wicker chair by the
clump of bushes and she waited
apparently Indolent but Inwardly
tense for him to come toward
her—for her first ordeal.
• • •
A XD 1: proved an ordeal Indeed
Marvin came at last but came
as though under orders which he
only reluctantly obeyed. Certain-
ly he deliberately held her ofT re-
fusing to be led into any friendly
reminiscent chat.
But finally with a curious
wrenching effort fce himself
brought their desultory talk
straight to the subject uppermost
in her mind.
"Linda let me ask you—your
cousin Mr. Peabody—was be a
very close connection?"
"A very distant one." she an-
swered. inwardly alert but speak-
ing casually. "He was my moth-
er’s second cousin. You know she
died when I was a child and 1
lived with Dad's family. That New
England branch of Mother’s kept
sort of a duty-eye on me. Wrote
at birthdays and sent presents
(improving ones) and when any
of them were in town which
wasn’t often came to see me. Af-
ter Dad died Cousin Amos’ sister
asked ma to come live with her
but she was much relieved when
I went to work and stayed in New
York instead. I visited her once
or twice—she had a lovely old
place at Marblehead — and met
Cousin Amos there."
"Then Mr. Peabody had no very
intimate acquaintance with you?"
"Indeed it was very slight!"
Linda almost laughed. "Poor mao!
He violently disapproved of hav-
ing his sacred routine interrupted.
The few times 1 did visit Marble-
head he usually managed to be
called back to town. And I had
about as much fondness for his
old-fashioned ways as he had for
ray disturbing influence."
"But he visited you here. Af-
ter all he felt free to come unin-
vited."
ft • •
T INDA looked at him In aston-
^-"lshment. "I suppose that would
seem a sign of intimacy. But the
important thing to Cousiu Amos
was that he was caught over a
holiday week-end. I might as
well be honest. He probably in-
vited himself here simply to save
hotel bills. He was cannier than
any Scotsman and would have
gone anywhere to cadge a few
days’ lodging. I happeoed to be
the victim this time. He may
have tried other people he knew
r
better and round them full up f
over the Fourth. So he calmly
overlooked the fact that be never
did like me very well—nor I him.”
Marvin's mouth set In its
harshest narrowest lines.
*T wish 1 had known that yes-
terday.” he muttered. "My God—
why didn’t you tell me!”
"What difference would it have
made to you If 1 had?" Try as
she would she could not make the
words quite casual — Suspense
seemed to quiver between them
on the quivering heat waves of
the hot afternoon air. Marvin
spoke as though under unbearable
compulsion.
"Difference—difference! I
thought you saw him often talked
to him intimately. He said—that
he—he mas an older relative—
your futher wasn’t alive—that he
could—would advise y o u— I
thought that perhaps even last
night after the dance you’d slip
into hi? room to say good-night—
perhaps to talk a little—”
"Heavens no Marvin! I’d
never have thought of such a
thing.”
“You didn’t see him then? You
didn’t go to his room—or he
come to yours? You didn’t talk—i
about—”
"What about Marvin?” She
spoke the moment he paused.
This was vital Never had she felt
anything so important as what
was coming. If she could wring
it from him!
"About—about—” Terrible to
watch that conflict going on before
her very eyes' Something to sup-
press something fighting to be
said!
“Linda!” It was a cry from the
depths. “I can't tell yon—but It
I’d known — If I'd known — I
needn't have — we wouldn’t—
when he said—” A black surge
(was it anger or remorse?) seemed
to wrench through his body and.
' beating down on the yielding turf
be stuck his fist against the metal
support of a little iron table so
violently that hia knuckles showed
raw ami bleeding.
Aghast Linda sat silent. She
dared not question. She held her
breath lest any sound or move-
ment distract him. If the threat-
ened outburst carre she might
learn so much! But Marvin
gained a measure of control and.
though he muttered aullenly. she
I caught a note of apology In words
that only repeated what ha had al-
ready said.
“I thought he waa very close to
| you. You seemed so fond of him.
; But you’re friendly and — and
good to everyone. I should have
seen—or asked you. If I had
\ known last night—"
Again that black surge —It
1 seemed pure anger—as he pounded
; the earth beside him. Suddenly
be was erect beside her. standing
with one quick electrical contrac-
tion of bis strong muscles.
“But that was—last night.**
His strong jaw set in iron control.
“1 beg your pardon. Linda. This
was all very unnecessary."
• • •
CHE rose too. aa quickly as he.
^ and he found he could not avoid
her.
“He said—what. Marvin?" Her
eyes met bis steadily. It was not
always easy to see deep Into Mar-
vin’s eyes but this time she felt
she held him and could hold him.
“Marvin. It’a only fair to tell
me. It was last night before we
went to the dance wasn't It?"
“Yes—yes. Linda.” Again he
achieved control by a vicious ef-
fort. “It was simply that—Mr.
lYabody gave me to understand
he—he stood closer to you. per-
haps. than he did.”
“But he didn't know me at all!"
cried Linda perpleied. Tbla
wasn't getting anywhere! Marvin
completed her sense of baffled an-
noyance by a gesture that was al-
most a stiff how.
“I wish you’d tell me! Last
night—** She tried without In-
sincerity. a personal appeal. “You
—really hurt me Marvin. You
acted so—bo strange. We were
alwavs good frlenda—"
“Had yon told Mr. Peabody
that? Or perhaps you said it too
often?”
“You mean—he actually had
the nerve—” She gasped at the
implication. Her guesses at tha
reason for Marvin's behavior had
skirted this possibility but never
really considered It “Marvin—
did ho suggest that—that you and
I—”
“Suppose we let ft go at that.
He said a good deal. That covers
part ot It.” Marvin’s Jaw set
grimly again. “And now if you'll
excuse me—"
She had lost her victim. K
there had been anything hypnotio
ir the way she held him. her mo-
mentary lack of concentration had
broken .he spell. Marvin Pratt
neatly evaded her. The physical
barrier of table and chair behind
him and her own slender but
solidly planted form directly In
front of him proved Insufficient
to pen him in. With catlike pre-
cision. surprising because of hia
impressive size and build hs
stepped through the slight gap of-
fered by the two places of furni-
ture; and as he started toward tha
house leaving her baffled and In-
: dignant he vouchsafed In a tone
of deadly implacable fury mora
alarming than any open show of
anger:
“Your cousin assured me that
he bad only your best interests at
