FINAL INSTALLMENT Synopsis: Joyce Ashton, poor stenographer, suffered loss of memory in a skidding taxi cab accident in Chicago. One morning two years later she woke after a fall from her horse, her memory restored, to find herself, as Frills, the wife of Neil Packard, rich California fruit packer. She determined to tell nobody of her predicament, but set about learning what she could of her life in the interval. From the conversation of her friends and letters in her desk she gathered that she had been a heartless, pleasure-loving young woman. The letter that troubled her was from a woman signing herself Sophie, blaming Frills for not giving a home to a baby Sophie was caring for. Could it be her baby, Frills wondered! She also found herself involved in an affair with a man named Maitland. In San Francisco, where she went while her husband was away on business, she met Robert Ainsworth, a poet whose work she had always admired. When Joyce returned home, she decided to be pleasant to Neil than Frills had been. But this line was dangerous, too, for Neil was pathetically anxious to win back her love. At his request they call upon Neil's mother, whom Joyce finds adorable. Later, she met the poet, Robert Ainsworth, and several times stopped for lunch at his cabin when she was horseback riding. One day he started to make love to her. Later, Joyce and Neil, out-riding, are come upon by confession—her loss of memory and its awakened woman. Joyce, "I knew Frills had been a bad lot, but I never thought of her as suffering somehow — I never thought of her as doing all these things deliberately, in a sort of crazy effort to get back her identity — to remember!" "Yes," said Neil. "I don't know much about these things, but I should think the medicines might explain that second blow — the time you were thrown from Fire Queen—as a sort of mental snapping, due to pitch you'd worked yourself up to." Frills' diary filled in most of the gaps in the story that Neil had gradually pieced out that day for Joyce. From the scattered notes she learned that Frills had been conscious of her loss of memory, but filled with the conviction that all at once, some day, it would come to her whom she was, where she came from—her whole place of life. "Some deep instinct," the diary said, "kept me from telling anyone. I felt that I must discover it, must work it" "Ainsworth — Robert Joyce suddenly had an idea she said, "I think I see Robert Ainsworth felt that he must have felt ask part in the whole affair—must have seen it all, how what a splendid person you have felt that he simply off with your wife!" Neil looked at her sidewalk like the bunk to me. Whatever you think that? "Well, you see, Neil, I nee after that day in the wood remember he behaved so jeeting me by his silence!" to swallow hard to keep that surged over her at but she went quickly on. "I'd always felt so sure an exalted being, somebody the rest of the world, and turn into—into just a cac wrong. I'd rather be able..." she had always admired. When Joyce returned home, she decided to be pleasant to Neil than Frills had been. But this line was dangerous, too, for Neil was pathetically anxious to win back her love. At his request they call upon Neil's mother, whom Joyce finds adorable. Later, she met the poet, Robert Ainsworth, and several times stopped for lunch at his cabin when she was horseback riding. One day he started to make love to her. Later, Joyce and Neil, out-riding, are come upon by confession—her loss of memory and its Ainsworth. Cornered, Joyce makes full restoration. When Neil accuses Joyce and Ainsworth of being in love, Ainsworth makes a "graceless" exit, leaving Joyce to explain. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Roxie knew you better than I did," Neil said slowly. "I guess that's a set-back for me all right . . . I was so bowled over by what you told me that day with that Ainsworth fellow that I didn't know what to believe. I began to think I just imagined I'd been married at all. Just then Joyce saw Roxie moving capably about the dining-room, and running to her, she flung her arms impulsively about the older woman. "Roxie, you darling!" she cried, "Sam told me how wonderful you've been——" Roxie beamed and flushed with pleasure. "I didn't do nothing!" she said confusedly. "But, my, it's good to have you back, Mrs. Packard, we've certainly missed you! And now do come in to dinner if you and Mr. Neil are ready." "Where's Dickie?" she asked Neil, when they were seated, "I haven't seen him since I got back!" "Oh, that's right—I must send for him. He's been living with Sam since you left. Moped about the house so dismally that we thought he was going to cash in, poor chap. I couldn't do anything with him. He kept looking at me reproachfully, as if asking what I'd done with you. It gave me the creeps." "Funny little Dickie!" said Joyce. Conversation agged. Joyce did not want to ask any questions covering the time of her absence, thinking she might turn Neil's thoughts toward his mother, and cause him pain. She likewise did not want to tell him anything about her life in San Francisco during that time; it now was resuming the unreality of a bad dream, and she had no wish to revive the memories by talking about it. So she ate silently. All at once she was aware that Neil was regarding her thoughtfully, with a brooding stare unlike the matter-of-factness she remembered in him. "Anything wrong, Neil?" she asked nervously. "No, dear, I was just thinking how wonderful it was to have you back." "Oh, Neil, you mustn't say things like that to me! I know it's only your out, for myself." And then later, came an entry that made a very deep impression on Joyce. "I know I did wrong to marry Neil Packard without telling him. He's too good at man to be treated so meanly, but I just couldn't tell it. I couldn't tell him. And I had to marry him—not again in a lifetime am I likely to meet a man so surely possessing that which can be depended on. In this crazy world it's something to know that loyalty of that sort can be secured!" As the diary went on, the entries became more and more excited. "I'm cheating Neil!" Frills cried. "He's got a right to a wife who's more than just a unit existing for the time being! I've got to get back my memory! Perhaps drink will do it. Bring on the wine cups—I'll try 'em!" "... Why do I take so much perverse pleasure in shocking people around here? Maybe when I get back my memory I'll find I was a small-town school teacher, os somebody who never had a chance to express herself! Well, I'm expressing my self all right these days! All I've got to do is think of something reckless and wild, to be selzed with an insane desire to do it! . . . And then, all at once, "Arthur Malland — ugh, how I hate him! Why do I endure him around me? God knows! I flirt with him like a common street woman—yet I love Neil! Why do I do it? Sometimes I feel as if it's to try Neil's patience, to see how much he really will stand from me. There seems to be no limit to his affections!" it now was resuming the unreality of a bad dream, and she had no wish to revive the memories by talking about it. So she ate silently. All at once she was aware that Neil was regarding her thoughtfully, with a brooding stare unlike the matter-of-factness she remembered in him. "Anything wrong, Neil?" she asked nervously. "No, dear, I was just thinking how wonderful it was to have you back." "Oh, Neil, you mustn't say things like that to me! I know it's only your kindness, your natural sweetness——" Joyce's voice choked up, and she left the living-room. "We'll we won't go into that just now, Frills, if it bores you." Joyce was about to remonstrate with him for his misconstruction of her words, when he went hastily in. "By the way, I found something that'll probably interest you—a diary kept by you—by Frills—beginning about the time of our arrival home in Manzanita after our marriage." "Can I see it, Neil?" "Sure, I'll get it, just a minute." And he went rather wearily out of the room. Joyce was worried at the change in Neil. He seemed to have lost all his enthusiasm, all his spirit. "I hope he's not really ill," she thought miserably. "Of course his mother's death was an awful blow. Perhaps a little time..." Her mind was running along this course when Neil came back. "May I look at it with you?" he asked. "I didn't read much of it. Somehow it seemed — not quite right. I thought I'd yut it away and read it with you—when you came home." He spoke so quietly that Joyce barely caught the words. "Neil," she said impulsively, pausing before she opened the book. "I do feel at home here!" He smiled, a sudden sweet flash that warmed Joyce to the heart, and gravely they opened the diary between them. He was nearly midnight when they laid the book aside. Fascinated, they had read every word of the bold hand-writing that danced over its pagee, and fascinated, they had suffered with the curious, lost spirit that had cried out her secret fears in her journal. "Oh, Neil, it's so terrible!" cried school teacher, os somebody who never had a chance to express herself! Well, I'm expressing my self all right these days! All I've got to do is think of something reckless and wild, to be selzed with an insane desire to do it! . . . And then, all at once, "Arthur Maitland — ugh, how I hate him! Why do I endure him around me? God knows! I flirt with him like a common street woman—yet I love Neil! Why do I do it? Sometimes I feel as if it's to try Neil's patience, to see how much he really will stand from me. There seems to be no limit to his affections!" "I've gone almost the limit and it's done no good! What did I think it would do? God knows! Neil knows—I can see from his face that he knows there's been too much to that affair between Arthur Maitland and me. If he'd only knock me down—a blow, they say if blow will bring back one's memory. But Neil won't—the never will. I have to kill my self. Perhaps that horse, that surly brute Fire Queen. But I have a charmed life—acharmed and a damned one! How is this thing going to end?" And the last entry, in the book, in sprawling, blotted characters: "I've been rotten over that baby of Sylvia's. Of course Neil wants it brought on here. But a child—why should I wreck a poor child's life as I'm wrecking Neil's? It's better off where it is—I'm a lost soul now." "Neil," said Joyce at last, "Neil, doesn't it help to know that Frills did care about you? She did love you." Neil did not reply to her question and Joyce saw that he was trembling like a leaf. "Do you think—do you think, Joyce, that things might come out as mother hoped they would? Do you think you could feel that this was home? I shan't bother you much myself, but we might bring on Lawton's child, and do our best with it, between us." "Oh, Neil, I feel as Frills said, that in this crazy world it's something to know that loyalty like yours exists! ... Do you want me, now, knowing all this? It's been a sorry business, and it seems to me you've been the victim!" "No victim about it," he said shortly, "I mean—I do want you—if well—what about this Alnsworth?"

The June figures showed a loss of but 1.7 per cent over beer sales in May, the board said. June figures have been awaited by the board as a means of judging the probable monthly average of the tax to be derived from this source, in view of the fast that the tax has been in force only since April 1 of this year. The board expects that approximately $900,000 a year will accrue to the state's general fund from the beverage tax. Upon repeal of the 18th amendment the state will tax all forms of alcoholic beverages. June Business Index Is Good Bank of America Review Shows Biggest Increase Since 1930 The preliminary June index of business conditions in the eight far-western states reached 59.5, an increase of 3.1 over May, according to Bank of America's Business Review issued last week, which points out that the increase in business activity in the far-western area from May to June represents the largest monthly gain since February, 1930. Total building permits for the first six months of 1933 in 61 cities in the eight far-western states were $29,677;625 or 79.5 percent above the same Rotary Chief John Nelson, of Montreal, Canada, is the new president of the Rotary International, being elected at the annual convention, which was held at Boston this year. Lazy Motorists Latest Hazard Carelessness Often Caused by Reliance on Mechanical Signals The latest menace in the traffic world is the lazy motorist. He is the one who is lax about giving hand signals. Public safety departments urge correction of this increasingly bad habit. No doubt the presence of mechanical signals and other safety features has led to this type of carelessness on the part of the motorist. The stoplight, for instance, is used in lieu of the hand signal denoting this maneuver. Moreover, in making a turn, the motorist glances in his mirror. If no overtaking car is visible, he simply does not bother to signal his intention. The preliminary June index of business conditions in the eight far-western states reached 59.5, an increase of 3.1 over May, according to Bank of America's Business Review issued last week, which points out that the increase in business activity in the far-western area from May to June represents the largest monthly gain since February, 1930. Total building permits for the first six months of 1933 in 61 cities in the eight far-western states were $29,677,-635, or 70.5 percent above the same period in 1932. The aggregate dollar volume of retail trade in June, 1933, about equaled the volume of sales in the corresponding month of last year, according to reports from 77 department stores in this district. This reflects a favorable condition, says the Business Review, considering the fact that the price level of department store merchandise has declined during the past year. The volume of retail sales in the whole United States in June, 1933, was four percent below June of last year. The number employed in manufacturing industries in California in June, 1933, increased 3.6 percent over June of last year, and 4.2 percent over May of this year. Bank debits for the 27 major cities in the twelfth federal reserve district reached the highest point of the year. Business failures were more than 26 percent below the corresponding period of last year. Inglewood Stages Brilliant Pageant Inglewood will stage its annual Centinela day program from July 31 to August 6, according to announcements received this week. The pageant, "Romance of Centinela Springs," depicting the early Indian history of the district, will be presented Friday and Saturday nights, August 4 and 5. The pageant traces the finding of the springs by the Indians, a romance which developed between the chief's daughter and a warrior which is broken up with the arrival of the Spanish cavalier, schooled in love and romance. The Indian maid, Wanasha, follows the Spaniard away. The second scene shows the Indian prophetess predicting the tribe's extinction because of the march of civilization's progress. Then is ushered in the Mexican era, followed by the entrance of California into the United States. All details of the pageant are reported to be absolutely authentic. Hoosiers Invited To Picnic July 29 Hoosiers now residing or visiting is the lazy motorist. He is the one who is lax about giving hand signals. Public safety departments urge correction of this increasingly bad habit. No doubt the presence of mechanical signals and other safety features has led to this type of carelessness on the part of the motorist. The stoplight, for instance, is used in lieu of the hand signal denoting this maneuver. Moreover, in making a turn, the motorist glances in his mirror. If no overtaking car is visible, he simply does not bother to signal his intention to change his course. Still another manifestation of the tendency to spare energy in respect to signals is found in the failure to use the horn. At night, especially, many motorists count upon their headlights to serve as a warning of their approach and intention to pass another vehicle. In daylight they assume the driver of the car ahead has detected their presence in his mirror. There has been no change in the traffic laws with respect to the giving of hand signals. Mechanical devices are a supplement to the required appropriate gestures of the driver and not a substitute for them. Motorists appear to be confused on this matter with a resultant lapse that makes them lazy drivers from an official point of view. One look at the pace of modern traffic should be enough to indicate the unwisdom of laziness! CAN YOU PASS THIS DRIVING LICENSE TEST? Efforts to promote safe driving by examinations for operators licenses are being made even in far-off Manchuria. Questions asked in a May examination this year at Mukden, Manchuria, included the following: "Explain the attention when driver wish to separate from motor car under temporaryily stoppage on the road of downhill." "Describe the matters to be attended to entertainment of tyre." "What is the process in such a case that a motor car wish to stop at a narrow way, great way, great street, front of a gate and prosperity place, etc?" "An excessive drunkenness of driver prohibited by the regulations, what is significance in there?" "What is the process not to accompany dangers in such a case that an automobile under running state want to run beyond he previous car which is also running condition?" "How many distance to begin the caution siren or bugle, etc., as a driver should placed in such case that the passer-by horses and vehicles lies on the front of carriageway of an automobile?" Government Places More Than Score of Departmental Documents at U. S. C. The Doheny library at the University of Southern California has been designated as a depository for United States government publications according to word received by President R. B. von KleinSmid through William I. Traeger, congressional representative of the fifteenth district from the state of California. Public documents including books, periodicals, bulletins, leaflets, general publications and annual reports from Washington D. C. will be available at U. S. C. for statistical information and research purposes at the disposal of faculty, students and research scholars in the reference department of the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial library on the Trojan campus. Meeting the needs of many curriculum purposes more than 600 various publications will be on the shelves, a large number to be used in the summer session. Departments and divisions of the government represented in the documents include civil service, commerce, aeronautics, radio, fine arts commission, labor department, children's bureau, immigration bureau, employment service, woman's bureau, permanent court of international justice, diplomatic and consular service, federal board for vocational education, Smithsonian institute, federal reserve board, education office, geological surveys, Indian affairs office, national parks office, interstate commerce commission, reconstruction finance corporation, supreme court, tariff commission, treasury department and many others. DEPENDS ON THE BRAKE Whether in starting on an up-grade it is easier to use the hand throttle and the foot brake combination or the accelerator and hand brake, depends upon various conditions. If, for instance, the hand brake is hard to release, it is much better to use the first mentioned combination. In some cases where the hand and service brakes operate the one system the former is hard to release without using the latter.

I refer to facial blemishes on old people, or those past middle age. I have noticed most of them on the upper cheek, near the hair-margin—in front of and above the attachment of the ear. It does not matter to you that these things are called "keratoses" by the scientists; what you want to know is how to manage them with satisfactory results. May appear anywhere, of course. Yes, some of them are of warty consistence; indeed those hard ones in very aged people MAY lead into shallow form of cancer—skin-cancer. But I have seen hundreds of soft lesions on old peoples' faces—that just seemed to stay,—wouldn't heal. I've seen them burned by caustics in efforts to kill them—not a good treatment at all; too intensely irritating. An aged skin needs everything else htan caustics. The old man is annoyed by the ugly blemish that just won't go away or heal kindly. He is tempted to pick at it—it bleeds easily, which makes it the more suspicious. It may keep this up several years. You know what I advise? Keep all irritation off them. Not any harsh soap. No effort to "kill" the sore—sure, don't try that. Stop picking it or scratching it; you might drive it into serious rebellion by your continual teasing. Let it alone, is the first and chief essential. Get an ounce of pure, refined castor oil. Fill the mesh of a small linen or flaxen rag—or better, a piece of absorbent gauze—fill with the oil, and lay it on the sore. Keep it there till it needs renewal, and apply another. Keep it up. Keep the sore wet with the castor oil. I've seen this cure such things, slick and clean in two or three weeks, that had annoyed as many years. Keep in touch with your doctor. A.B.C.
