AWAKENED WOMAN EIGHTH INSTALLMENT The Story so far: Joyce Ashton, poor stenographer, in a skidding taxicab accident in Chicago, suffered loss of memory. Two years later she woke one morning after a fall from her horse to find herself, under the name of Frills, married to Neil Packard, rich California fruit packer. From letters in her desk she learned something about her life in the two-year interval, and realized that she had been a heartless young woman and that she is seriously involved in an affair with a man named Maitland. She decided that at all costs she would end it, but she found Maitland hard to manage. Her troubles were further complicated when she read a letter referring to a baby—was it hers?—that the writer, Sophie, thought Frills ought to have with her. Much to the surprise of Sam, in her husband's employ, she asked for a dog and he got her one. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Before Joyce addressed and stamped the brown envelope, it occurred to her that she might write a few words to put in with it. Then, having come to this conclusion, she found herself dismayingly unable to decide what to say. What sort of letter would Frills write to Neil? "I don't see how she'd have the face to write to him at all, when all she cared about his absence was the chance it gave her to go off with Maitland and his crowd," she thought disgustedly, "but just the same, since Joyce Ashton isn't going off with Maitl. I think she might send a few words." "Say, folks, I'm going to buy you all a drink," exclaimed Ed, jumping up, "who's with me? Frills is so holier-thou tonight it scares me. I know something that'll put a little original sin into her!" "I'll come along and help you. Ed," offered Art. Then a diversion occurred in the form of the arrival of two more men. One of them was Dr. Ellison, and the other a man of about the same age who was hailed as "Trace." Tracy Farnsworth was tanned like the rest. Everything about him was neat, well-creased, and immaculate, and like his personality, insipid. With the arrival of the cocktails the party took on a shriller air. "Say, doc, did you write a prescription for Frills after she did her leap for life the other day?" demanded Clarice. "I did not," retorted the doctor, "what does she need it for, with Neil's supply still holding good?" "And Maitl's," added Kate with her loud laugh, "where's your sweet pato-tie tonight, dearie?" Joyce, thus directly addressed, answered coldly, "How should I know?" A second round of drinks followed close on the first. The whole evening Maitland took his hood and putting his arm around bent over her. Maitland drew her to him and began kisses; same intensity of that the living-room. His kisses were on eyes, over her whole face his heart hammering his breath coming short. She was frightened and must keep her head and her back to the house possible. Perhaps her was what inflamed safety lay in letting him. She was so tired and fully fatile to struggle against strength. Suddenly she relaxed cles and lay limp in result of this, instead ardor seemed to fire energy. The touch of his colds flesh sent a shock of humiliation through Joyce violently at him and away with desperate sighs. "If you . . . cared." Before Joyce addressed and stamped the brown envelope, it occurred to her that she might write a few words to put in with it. Then, having come to this conclusion, she found herself dismayingly unable to decide what to say. What sort of letter would Frills write to Neil? "I don't see how she'd have the face to write to him at all, when all she cared about his absence was the chance it gave her to go off with Maitland and his crowd," she thought disgustedly, "but just the same, since Joyce Ashton isn't going off with Mait, I think she might send a few words." She ended by writing: "Dear Neil: You can't hurt a solid ivory dome' just by falling on it! But it seems to have knocked some of the pep out' of little Frills, and she's annoying the gang by cutting out some of the jazz. Laurine was here this morning with a lot of good advice, Ethel and Clarice this afternoon, and while I was out, Paul and Dot came, and Tess Farnsworth. Don't know why I've never wanted a dog before nor just why I want one now, but I've just acquired a darling," she wrote hastily. "Sam got him for me from the Marches on the Dry Creek Canyon road. They're going to China and can't take Dickle. He is quite adorable, and when did I ever care what any one thinks? Frills." Joyce was a little doubtful, when she finished, about whether she had not written more than was wise. She sealed up the letter, however, and then went downstairs to look for Sam to post it. Sam listened with casual politeness to her explanation of her appearance. "I had a telegram from Mr. Packard asking me to mail him some papers he left behind by mistake, and I wondered if you could get them to the post office for me? I'm sorry to disturb you this way but I think the papers are important and ought to leave right off. Would you mind?" "Sure not!" replied Sam taking the envelope, "I'll hop into the bus and take it down." "A Roxie and Marcia out?" "Yeah, gone to the movies with their steadies," Sam grinned good-naturedly. "Oh, of course," she murmured, smiling back at him and then added curiously, "What were you doing, Sam, when I interrupted you?" "Oh, digging at the same old stuff," replied Sam, as if she knew also what that meant. He ran his big brown hand through his hair. "Sometimes I think it's the bunk, getting educated by absent treatment. But I s'pose I might's well do it as to play pool or take some jane to the movies." Joyce returned to the house full of thoughts of Sam, plugging away by himself out there alone, and she forgot for a moment the problems of her own situation. Just as she entered the living-room, a group of people came in with a burst of talking and laughing and took possession of the house. took on a confused, kaleidoscopic quality that gave Joyce the feeling of being in a noisy, unreal nightmare. She did not like the spectacle of these uncultured men and women drunkenly in pursuit of a "good time." Would they never go home? Her head throbbed and she felt inexpressibly weary and revolting. Finally, watching her chance, she slipped out of the room just as a lively dance melody came in over the radio and several couples leaped up and began to revolve rather unsteadily. Joyce escaped out of the front door to the quiet of the fragrant starlight. As she stumbled on the dark step she was suddenly caught in a strong embrace. "Sweetheart, I had to come again to see how you were," whispered Maitland softly. Joyce, overcome by her great weariness and disgust at the scene she had left, could not summon enough strength to struggle. She felt tired and terribly alone. All she was conscious of at the moment was that Maitland's cheek against hers was cool and sober, that his breath held no reek of liquor on it. He did not try to take advantage of her yielding mood. He simply held her quietly, and Joyce, whose head had been spinning from the heat and the noise leaned against him with her eyes me," she cried, her spite of her efforts to know I'm . . . that I since the accident want, not just what Please take me home now . . . "Hell!" he exclaimed breath, "I don't get it . . . Well, all right, He released her, swite lights and in a few engine running and tward home. On the way back Jedered what had happened in at the Park could hear the sounds in full swing. Maitland stopped tailed, "Want me to sweet?" "I don't want to be insisted," why can kitchen? "All right," agreee go up that way and home for you. Maitland helped him and went with her at the house. At the foot Maitland drew her toe face up and kissed very gently. "Goodn He ran his big brown hand through his hair. "Sometimes I think it's the bunk, getting educated by absent treatment. But I s'pose I might's well do it as to play pool or take some jane to the movies." Joyce returned to the house full of thoughts of Sam, plugging away by himself out there alone, and she forgot for a moment the problems of her own situation. Just as she entered the living-room, a group of people came in with a burst of talking and laughing and took possession of the house. "You're my hotsy, I'm your totsy, everything is hotsy-totsy nowwww!" sang a tall man with a bald head and jovial pink face. Joyce was seized in a rough embrace by this hearty gentleman and kissed several times before she could get away. Behind a veil of smoke, Frills examined the separate members of the company. She was more relieved than otherwise that the free-and-easy manners of Frills' set demanded so little effort. Apparently nothing very definite was expected of a hostess; everyone talked volubly and seemed entirely at home. Both Ethel and Clarice were present, now in dinner dresses and earrings. There were two other women, who turned out to be Tess Farnsworth and Kate Belmain. Tess was about thirty years old, a non-descript brunette with a strained look back of her small brown eyes. Kate Belmain was the oldest woman in the party. Her white hair, bobbed and marcelled with such careful skill that it quite rated the dignity of being called a coiffure, made a most becoming soft frame for her still excellent complexion. The four men were commonplace enough. Charlie Bates was a bachelor, cheerful, unintelligent, dissipated, addicted to the use of strong perfume. Ed Rawley, the "faithful Ed" of Clarice's sarcastic comment, looked unhappy in this gathering. Ross Emery, who had greeted Frills so vociferously on her entrance, proceeded to be the life and death of the party. The fourth man, strolling restlessly about the room trying to draw somebody into a game of poker was Art Belmain, Joyce, overcome by her great weariness and disgust at the scene she had left, could not summon enough strength to struggle. She felt tired and terribly alone. All she was conscious of at the moment was that Maitland's cheek against hers was cool and sober, that his breath held no reek of liquor on it. He did not try to take advantage of her yielding mood. He simply held her quietly, and Joyce, whose head had been spinning from the heat and the noise, leaned against him with her eyes shut and murmured: "Oh, I can't stand them, they're all drunk . . . I want some air . . ." "Get in my car and we'll take a run," said Maitland promptly. He led her to his machine which was only a few steps off, "Here, put this on, you'll be cold if you don't." He held up a light overcoat and Joyce in a daze slid her arms into it and dropped back into the low seat without stopping to consider exactly what she was doing. In another moment they were rolling down the drive and cut into the road. Maitland drove in silence, a tactful silence so welcome to Joyce in her lasitude that all her fear and abhorrence of him melted into gratefulness. Finally, when they had driven about ten minutes, Maitland asked softly, "Feel better, dear?" "Yes," said Joyce. He took his hand from the wheel and felt for hers. When he had it in his warm clasp, she let it stay there, still too apathetic to care. "Who was there tonight?" he asked after a bit. "Oh, Clarice and Ethel and Ross and . . Ed . . and Kate and Art and . . Charlie . . and Tess and Trace . . and Doc," replied Joyce drowsily, also too tired to finish the long list. "Same old crew, all talking at once, after they got a few drinks under their belts. Get damn' sick of their drivel, don't you Frills?" Suddenly the car swung abruptly to the left, drove in through the thick darkness of a narrow tree-shadowed road, then came to an open space and stopped quietly. Maitland took his hand from hers and putting his arm around her shoulders bent over her. Maitland drew her suddenly closer to him and began kissing her, with the same intensity of that first embrace in the living-room. His kisses were on her neck, her eyes, over her whole face. She could feel his heart hammering violently, and his breath coming short and hurried. She was frightened and repelled. She must keep her head and get him to take her back to the house as quickly as possible. Perhaps her very resistance was what inflamed so; perhaps her safety lay in letting him kiss her. She was so tired and it was so utterly futile to struggle against his superior strength. Suddenly she relaxed her tense muscles and lay limp in his arms. The result of this, instead of cooling his ardor, seemed to fire him with new energy. The touch of his cold fingers on her flesh sent a shock of flaming rage and humiliation through Joyce. She struck violently at him and pulled his hand away with desperate strength. "If you . . . cared . . . at all about Suicides Show Large Increase State's Total of Self-destructionists Jumps from 1,589 in 1931 to 1,709 in 1932 A substantial increase in the number of suicides in California last year is revealed in a report of the state department of health. A total of 1,709 persons took their own lives in 1932 as compared to 1,598 the previous year, an increase of 111. "During years of hard times suicide rates always increase," said Dr. Giles S. Porter, director of the department. "Worry and loss of security constitute important factors in the production of a higher suicide rate, particularly among single men past middle age who have no home ties or personal responsibilities." Regardless of the cause which prompts self destruction, most individuals choose to use spectacular methods in killing themselves, a study of the death records reveals. In 1932, for instance, 716 out of 1,709 individuals who committed suicide used firearms. The use of poisons, both solid and liquid, also is common. 367 persons having chosen this method of suicide last year. A total of 197 individuals used hanging and strangulation, and 166 used poisonous gases. In commenting on this last phase, a report of the department said: "There has been a marked reduction in the number of suicides due to the use of poisonous gases. This may be attributed to the fact that the natural gas which now is supplied in most California cities contains little or no carbon monoxide and suicide through use of natural gas is a slow and painful process." Records of the suicides in various cities show that Eureka, with 7 suicides, had the highest rate of 42.7 for the year, while Sacramento was second, rating 42 per 100,000, and San Mateo third, with a rate of 39.8. Glendale's rate of 10.8 was the lowest in the state. BEER BRINGING NEW KIND OF MILK PROBLEM Agriculture Director A.A.Brock In Quandry to Keep 3.2 Out of Dairy Cabinets Return of beer to California has brought vexing problems even to the department of agriculture. This particular problem is one of law enforcement, according to A. A., Brock, director of the department of agriculture. Among the provisions of the general dairy law of the state is one that provides ice cream cabinets can be used only for storing ice cream and other similar frozen products. However, there has been a disposition to store beer in the cabinets. Brock pointed out that negotiations are in progress whereby the ice cream industry will provide the hard pressed state with funds to enforce this phase of the law.

While crossing a street at Grass Valley, Bobbie became entangled in a rope dragging behind a passing automobile. The lad grasped the rope as his feet were jerked from the pavement. For two blocks, Bobbie bounced along the concrete in a sitting position, his lusty yells failing to attract the motorist's attention. Then came an arterial stop sign—and freedom for Bobbie. The driver, unaware of the situation, continued on his way, and Bobbie, uninjured but minus the seat of his trousers, scamped for home.

"I don't want to see them at all," she insisted, "why can't I go in by the kitchen?" "All right." agreed Maitland, "you go up that way and I'll send the gang home for you." Maitland helped her out of the car and went with her around the back of the house. At the foot of the backstairs, Maitland drew her to him, turned her face up and kissed her, but this time very gently. "Goodnight, darling." Joyce hurried up the stairs, through the hall and into the big bedroom which she locked with a sigh of profound relief. It seemed to her as if she had left its cool privacy years before. The noise and music downstairs which came up in a muffled confusion of sounds continued for about five minutes longer and then with a succession of sharp bangs of the front screen door closing she heard her guests depart. She listened to the cars drive off one after the other and then there was absolute quiet. The next morning a brilliant idea occurred to Joyce. Why should she not pack a suitcase and run off alone to San Francisco for a week? She could stay at the Y. W. C. A., where she would be unlikely to meet any of the Manzanita crowd, and there under an assumed name, she could learn to run and automobile and to ride horseback. She found about seventy-five dollars in bills and silver in the desk and in a handbag on the dressing table. With courage newly-augmented by the excitement of her plan, she decided to cash a check in Manzanita. Continued Next Week Crime "Wave" Does Not Materialize The anticipated crime "wave" that may be expected during periods of unfavorable economic conditions, failed to break over California this year, according to a report of the state bureau of criminal identification.

Junior Colleges Face Predicament, Must Charge Non-Resident Fee Or Raise Taxes Budget Bill Provides $1,297,058 While Present Trends in District Junior College Attendance Would Require $1,500,000 per Year; Biennium Deficit of Quarter of Million Recorded California junior colleges are faced with the problem of either curtailing educational programs or adding to district taxes and non-resident tuition charges, in the opinion of state officials. Due to the rapid growth of the junior colleges, together with a diminution of revenues from the federal government it has been necessary in recent years for the state to appropriate funds to augment federal revenues. State records show that a total of $1,869,644.25 has been appropriated for this purpose during the last four years. "Despite these additional state appropriations, however, the total amounts available still have been inadequate to make the full required apportionment of $2,000 for each district junior college and $100 for each unit of average daily attendance. In 1930-31 the deficit amounted to $253,355, and in 1931-32 there was a deficit of $201,178," a report of the state department of education said. "Continuance of present trends in district junior college attendance will require, on present apportionment bases, appropriations from the state general fund amounting to $1,500,000 a year, or $3,000,000 for the biennium." In comparison to this asserted need, the budget bill passed by the assembly provided $1,223,640 for the biennium. While this sum was raised to $1,297,058 by amendment in the senate, the total still is far short of the estimated needs of the junior colleges. It is because of this the prediction was made that junior college programs necessarily will have to be curtailed. While some additional funds will be realized from fees charged non-resident students, the need for additional funds still will be keen, and in view of general economic conditions increased taxes would be particularly difficult.
