His First Wife's Legacy
By MYRA CURTIS LANE
"It's all very well to say I ought to share your interests, Lucian, but do I ask you to share mine? Has it occurred to you that a woman's interests must consist principally in running a home?"
Mary Ammering faced her husband, flushed and indignant, with the heat of the kitchen stove reflected on her pretty face.
"I suppose you're right, Mary," answered Lucian Ammering indifferently.
He kissed her good-bye—he hated those formal kisses. They had been married two years now, and things had gone steadily from bad to worse.
Lucian Ammering was an inventor, he was at work on a glider that was to revolutionize the science of flight; Mary had never understood it. She resented their having to live in the country, where he leased fifty acres of mountainous tract a long way from where people ought to live.
At first she had been enthusiastic. What had chilled her? Well, Lucian had been married years before. Emmeline and he, she gathered, had been devoted to each other. When Emmeline died Lucian's life had seemed broken.
Mary was jealous of the dead woman. She believed that Emmeline still had his heart. He never spoke of her, but Mary knew that in his mind he was always setting off the one woman against the other.
So she had sunk quietly into the position of housekeeper, and Lucian had gone on experimenting with his gliders.
She felt restless that morning as she dusted and scrubbed, and opened the oven and put things in it, and took them out again. She had declared her independence. She wasn't going to be
SUGAR SPECULATION
Advising the utmost caution in buying sugar, both by the trade and by the consumer, the Federal Sugar Refining Company declares that "the sugar market is being manipulated and is dominated by speculation, and buying beyond immediate needs will only make matters worse." On February 23, the price of granulated sugar went to 9 cents a pound. It was selling at 6 and 6 1-2 lat*e in December. One of the excuses given by speculators for the advance, was a recent report of the Department of Commerce with regard to the sugar supply. The speculators seem to have wilfully interpreted this report as indicating a prospective sugar shortage, although the department was very careful to point out that no shortage impended, but that there would be a sufficient carry-over to prevent it.
It is reported that France and Belgium are already prohibiting exports and in London the grocers are being urged to pursue a policy of advancing prices to restrict consumption to the utmost. The federal points out that these are symptoms of the re-action which sets in when, after an advancing and speculative market, it is difficult to find buyers. Cuban sugar conditions are reported favorable and grinding conditions very satisfactory, the dry conditions insuring a yield against which there are no complaints from the plantations.
Students of the sugar situation generally agree that speculators are trying to boost prices, so it will avail the Democrats little to try to convince the country that the rise in price is due to the new tariff law. As a matter of fact, relatively speaking, that law gives Cuba a larger preferential in favor of her sugar than she enjoyed under the old laws. The rigging of the sugar market is much hundred million more ment.

Mary was jealous of the dead woman. She believed that Emmeline still had his heart. He never spoke of her, but Mary knew that in his mind he was always setting off the one woman against the other.
So she had sunk quietly into the position of housekeeper, and Lucian had gone on experimenting with his gliders.
She felt restless that morning as she dusted and scrubbed, and opened the oven and put things in it, and took them out again. She had declared her independence. She wasn't going to be tied to the tail of Lucian's gliders.
"I guess now that I'm committed to my job I'll just go upstairs and clean out that old cupboard of Lucian's that hasn't been touched since we moved in here," she reflected.
It was an old house and had enormous cupboards. This one was more like a small room. Mary recoiled in dismay at the first sight of it, with disused garments hanging up everywhere, and the floor littered with papers.
Then she collected herself and began to tidy up, taking down and dusting Lucian's old clothes. This suit should never have been thrown away. It was just what Lucian needed for his gliding. And these boots—how careless Lucian was! They were perfectly good boots. She must put those in his room. And this package of letters, ***
Curiosity, the bane of woman, got the better of her. She opened the top one and read, folded back, the signature "Emmeline."
And a burning desire came over her to know what sort of letters Emmeline had written Lucian. Emmeline, the model wife, she sarcastically commented in her mind.
But to her amazement the letter was full of bitter reproaches.
She opened another and another. All were alike. It appeared that, instead of the ideal life which Mary had always supposed them to have shared, they had hated and quarreled with each other constantly. There had never been peace between them.
It was the last letter that summed up everything.
"I realize too well my deficiencies, Lucian," Emmeline wrote. "I am leaving you tomorrow with Harry, and you will be free to get your divorce. I ask nothing of you. I do not blame you; we have simply been unfortunate.
"But I do gather one thing from our experience of married life together. Either the pair must share their interests in common, or else there will be shipwreck. And, as a man cannot enter with enthusiasm into the interests of the kitchen, it behooves the woman to make her husband's life and career her own."
But I do gather one thing from our experience of married life together. Either the pair must share their interests in common, or else there will be shipwreck. And, as a man cannot enter with enthusiasm into the interests of the kitchen, it behooves the woman to make her husband's life and career her own.
"I understand where I have erred. If things had not gone so far I would begin all over again. It is too late now. But, if you marry again, try to teach your wife that lesson. Goodby."
Mary stared at the letter. For a few moments she did not take it all in. Emmeline—divorced—then Lucian had not cared for her. He had cared for herself. And it was not too late—the message from the woman who had gone out of Lucian's life had arrived just in time.
Softly Mary went to her room. She put on an old dress, high boots, her slouchiest hat. An hour later she met Lucian at the door.
"Well, I've finished my work," she said. "And I'm sorry that I was cross this morning." Lucian, dear, let's go down to the shed, and you shall show me your new glider."

"Mr. Jobson," said the head of the firm, "didn't you tell me there was a death in your family and didn't I extend my sympathy and tell you to take a day off for the funeral?"
"You did, sir."
"I learn that not only are all the members of your family well, but you attended a football game."
"It was a little puppy, sir. I was much attached to the affectionate creature and I speak truly when I say it was not until the second half that I could forget my sorrow and take an interest in the game."—Birmingham Age-Herald.

hundred million since its establishment.
Five hundred families moved to Los Angeles last year and sent their children to the University of Southern California.
A large percentage of the students at the University of Southern California who matriculate from outside the City of Los Angeles locate here permanently after graduation.
This means that the City of Los Angeles has acquired thousands of substantial citizens through their association with Los Angeles while attending the University of Southern California.
As a revenue producing power, the University of Southern California ranks with leading manufacturing industries of the City of Los Angeles. Approximately $7,300,000.00 was spent in Los Angeles by the student body and university personnel last year.
The enrollment at the University of Southern California has increased 164 per cent in the past three years, due to the successful termination of the Forward Movement Campaign for $1,000,000 in 1918.
It is authoritatively estimated that the present extension development and endowment campaign will increase the enrollment to 20,000 students within the next five years.
Based upon present statistics this increased enrollment will give to Los Angeles a business assent producing over eighteen and a half million dollars annually.
