Sallie Grows Dissatisfied
Finding an attractive house at a rental Curtiss thought was reasonable was no easy matter. While he was working on his plans for the mining subdivision, I looked at many places.
One afternoon Harriet Crawford took me, in her new limousine, on a house-hunting expedition. Salsby Crawford, to whom she was married, was the scion of a fabulously wealthy family and we had become quite intimate with them because of the fact that he and Curtiss had been classmates at college.
It didn't take me long, however, to analyze the feminine member of the House of Crawford. She was undeniably snobbish.
"Now look here, Sallie. I'm worn out with your complaining. You've done nothing but nag almost from the moment you found out that you were going to have to give up a thing, until I get WIFE. Do you Sallie?" His voice "the helpmate of doer, a common, you wish to reel those conditions about it, you can if not, then the course that is open to your father back WITH A K."
I started to repurpose would have been woman-like, I supertempted to defend ever, he silenced words of the sentiments.
"No, I don't want hurry. This is a moment in our life you to think it over a walk, and who give me your decision."

"Now look here, Sallie. I'm worn out with your complaining. You've done nothing but nag almost from the moment you found out that you were going to have to give up a few luxuries."
Herself a child of luxury, she was absolutely unaware that there were others who were not in the same financial status. Naturally she took me to see large and prepossessing places whose owners were abroad or in Florida and who wished to lease their homes for the season.
Finally, I thought I might as well be frank with her about the type house that we wanted.
"Just a small place," I explained, "we can't afford anything very good-looking."
"Nonsense," she interrupted, "Salsby told me just last night that Curtiss Wright had already made a name for himself as an engineering architect (I believe that's what he called him), anyway, he mentioned several developments that he already has to his credit."
"I couldn't bring myself to go into detail about our recent financial trouble, and besides, my new acquaintance was not the sort to inspire confidential disclosures. With her beautiful home, her smart clothes and endless servants it would be impossible for her to understand or sympathize with a less prosperous condition.
Later I gave the excuse of letter-writing, and so she ordered the chauffeur to turn back and take me to the Tutwiler hotel, at which we were staying.
When Curtiss came in at twilight, he found me sitting beside the window, unsmiling and sullen.
"What's up, dearest? Where's my little Life of the Party?"
No answer.
"Come now, tell us all about it," he pleaded, coming over and gently tilting my face so that he could study my expression.
"Oh, I guess I'm still under the influence of Harriet Crawford," I said, as he sat down beside me. My tone took steps to sturge nings against enforcement, which now The Los Angeles court, in a decisive yesterday in Stirling no restraining order prevent the ordinance effective, and the issued at all, must enforcement of the in effect.

No answer.
"Come now, tell us all about it," he pleaded, coming over and gently tilting my face so that he could study my expression.
"Oh, I guess I'm still under the influence of Harriet Crawford," I said, as he sat down beside me. My tone was sullen.
"She does act a bit Ritzie," he admitted, but my dear, you're so much more attractive that you should get quite a kick out of being in the presence of Mrs. Crawford."
"It isn't that, Curtiss, it's just that they have such an awful lot of everything." I concluded. "Look at their house, it's simply stunning!"
"Ought to be, it cost over a hundred thousand. Besides, Salsby had a bunch of gold dust handed to him on a silver platter. In fact, all the chaps I've met here have seemed to hit it off in one way or another. You mustn't let that make you unhappy. Besides, you'll naturally be thrown with girls who have plenty. You know, 'water seeks its own level,' and the crowd you'll be congenial with will be—what is it the newspapers call them? Oh, yes—the spoiled society darlings."
He was in wonderful humor.
"But, Curtiss, I can't even find a house to live in," I declared, going back to the subject which was always uppermost in our conversation. There are plenty of houses to be had," I contended, "but nothing as small as you insist on having."
"I insist' is an ugly word, let's say 'afford' instead. It's just as easy. Didn't you find anything when you went out with Mrs. Crawford?"
"We didn't look at—cottages," I replied, using a word that I thought was less drab than the bungalow that he had first mentioned. "By the way, Curtiss," pursuing the thought which I had started, "I hope we'll meet some people here who haven't so much money. It'll just be harder playing around with a bunch who have all the things we should and would have had if you hadn't lost so much on that darned old Riviera."
He smiled at my vehement descrip-
tion of the section of Europe which I had previously found so alluring.
"Oh, don't worry," he said in an attempt to be reassuring. "we'll meet plenty of young couples who are just starting out and some who have even less than we have."
"I hardly think THAT would be possible," I answered curly. I hadn't meant to be unkind, but somehow the prospect of living in a cottage and relinquishing the things that all my life I had been used to having was none too rosy.
"Now look here, Sallie. I'm worn out with your complaining. You've done nothing but nag almost from the moment you found out that you were going to have to give up a few luxuries while I was once more getting started. It isn't the first time that a man's investments have been swept away, leaving him almost stranded. I've explained to you that it won't take me long to get my affairs re-established and with a little faith and encouragement on your part the whole thing would be easy. But you're so unwilling to sacrifice a few unnecessary pleasures and worldly possessions that the effort is already ruining your disposition!"
My eyes opened wide in amazement. Was this Curtiss? He paced the floor and without being actually in a rage, he was plainly moved inwardly by what he was saying. Without waiting for my reply, he continued:
"You girls of this generation lack courage, absolutely. You can't face any situation that isn't all honeysuckles and roses. Look at your ancestors! Those pioneer women who crossed the continent in those lean days of the covered wagon. Think of the deprivations they suffered and look at their spirit! It was the women behind the men that kept them going and made them fit for their shining achievements. Here I'm asking my wife to live simply in a comfortable bungalow with me, and you'd think I'd asked you to share a life of abject misery. The trouble with you, Sallie, is that you've been in the limelight so long that any normal perspective you might have had is blinded—your viewpoint of life is out of focus. You're pouting now because you can't be the leading lady. You can't be any-

If you wish to remain with me under those conditions and act pleasantly about it, you can make me very happy; if not, then there is only one other course that is open. You may return to your father until I can woo you back WITH A FORTUNE."
I started to reply. What my answer would have been I do not know, but woman-like, I suppose I would have attempted to defend my position. However, he silenced me before the opening words of the sentence had been uttered.
"No, I don't want you to decide in a hurry. This is a serious and vital moment in our lives, Sallie, and I want you to think it over. I'm going out for a walk, and when I return you can give me your decision."

File New Suit Against County Tuberculin Test Ordinance

took steps to start fresh court proceedings against enforcement of the ordinance, which now is in effect.
The Los Angeles county superior court, in a decision handed down late yesterday in Stinson's case, ruled that no restraining order could be issued to prevent the ordinance from becoming effective, and that the injunction, if issued at all, must be directed against enforcement of the ordinance after it is in effect.
Judge Hartley Shaw delivered the ruling in department $ of the Los Angeles county superior court.
To overcome the technicality thus confronting them, Attorneys Clyde A. Payne and James A. Van Law, representing Stinson, immediately prepared a new complaint for injunction against enforcement of the ordinance and filed the papers in the Los Angeles court.
Stinson is testing the constitutionality of the county ordinance on behalf of a group of dairymen who opposed its passage and who objected to its provisions requiring tuberculin tests for dairy cows and the branding of cows found to be "reactors."
The dairymen aligned with Stinson contend that the ordinance is confiscatory and does not accomplish its purpose of protecting the public from consuming milk from tubercular cows.
Of course the League of Nations has been having a regular cat and dog time, but at that they haven't fussed much worse than our wet and dry congressmen.

The day of this battle has an abiding place in the hearts of Texans, and its anniversary will be celebrated by a picnic at Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles, Saturday, April 17, 1926.
All Texans and former Texans in Southern California are invited. Every Texan is expected to write and phone and talk of the occasion from now to the day. Pass the word from Texan 16 Texan, so that not one in California Southland will miss the celebration.
It will be a basket picnic—a picnic of baskets of fried chicken, home-made preserves, pickles, cookies, cakes, and son on. There will be county registers so friends may find each other. President Claude A. Shutt will preside and have charge of the reunion. The program will include speeches, music and song. Many former Texans, or Texans visiting California, men and women, loved by Texans will be present. It will be an occasion for old friends to hobnob, new friendships to be formed; and a day of general relaxation and enjoyment.

SAMMIE DARNELL, the first line-man of the Edison Company, had no motor truck. He had no horse and buggy.
His rolling stock consisted of one wheelbarrow which he loaded at headquarters and then pushed wherever duty called.
He was a pioneer. Since the wheelbarrow days Edison engineers have made hundreds of forward steps until this company now ranks third in the United States.
With each improvement the quality of service has been raised, and the cost has been lowered, while the average cost of all other commodities has risen 65%.
Think of this the next time you see a wheelbarrow.
