The young bandiUi had held up so prnny places they were unable to give t h e officers a clear idea of bow much money they obtained a t each place, | iow they were dressed or w h a t cars Jbey used. They related vivid stories ou how they would s teal the cars, t r a n s f e r the license plates and then abandon the automobiles a f t e r the robberies and how tbey spli t t he cash. They spent most of i t fo r clothes and "on women," according to young Ban-duraki .

I nnecessary (fOveninieiUal Activities

Must he Curtai led Declared Speakers

Whereas live years ago it is doubt-fu l if a dozen people could have been Induced to a t tend a public meeting on taxat ion in any eoniniunity in this sec-tion of the s ta te the town hall at Law-rence was tilled to nearly its seat ing capacity last Fr iday to hear local speakers discuss the t ax question.

The l.awreiice meeting was one of a series of meetings that a re iielllg held In Van Ituren county, sponsored by a county taxpayers ' organixation ami in which (Seorge Koulkes, "Ha r t fo rd dirt f a rmer , " is a leadlnu spirit .

Those par t ic ipat ing in the discus-sion included Mr. Koulkes, Suiieiiu-tendent Kaye of :!«'• I ' aw I 'aw schools. Supervisor Uobinson of I^iwrence, who presided as ciiairmaii of Ihe meeting;. Mrs. Loelller of Corwin and Leon 1). Case of Watervllet .

Mr. Koulkes' address was in line wi th the art icles on tax reform that have been published over his name in a number of local papers.

While adni i t t ing t h a t the education-al sysfem must s t and its share of the forced economies made necessary by the economic depression, Sujierinlnd-ent Kaye defended public expenditures fo r education. He pointed to the f a d that in Soviet Itussla. of ihe total gov-ernmental budget providing for great industrial , commercial and agricul tur-al activities in that vas t country, live percent of it was for education.

Mrs, Loetlier leveled criticism at s t a t e and county adli i inistrat ion of af-f a i r s and charged that the representa-tives In the legis la ture had not prop-erly represented the i r constituencies.

Supervisor Uobinson asserted that much of the heavy tax burden was forced on the local communities by legislative enactment . H e chained the s ta te depar tment of public instruction w a s a department of "destruct ion." H e held that its organized activit ies and lobbying at Lans ing had forced the establishment of educational re-quirements in the public school system in the mat te r of school buildings, equipment and instruction beyond the abil i ty of the smaller communities to support . He defended the county ad-minis t ra t ion of atTairs In Van Buren as being economical and ellicient, and declared tha t the county officials a t I 'aw P a w v were not being overpaid. The Lawrence supervisor pointed to the section of s t a t e t runkl lne between Benton Harbor and South Haven along the sand dunes, cost ing a million and one-third dollars, a s a piece of s t a t e highway ext ravagance .

The Watervllet mayor asserted that the s t a t e admin is t ra t ion was responsi-ble in some measure for the excessive t ax burden and t ha t the siiecial session of the legislature w a s a belated effort to afford relief. H e said tha t the same governor and the same legislature were in Lansing a yea r ago, w i th con-ditions then nearly HS serious n s now and tha t nothing w a s done to reduce governmental costs. He pointed to 07 s t a t e boards and commissions with their hordes of officials and employees and declared tha t many of those activ-ities might l»e curtai led or el iminated wi thout Inconvenience to the public. Se s ta ted tha t the s t a t e payroll had In-creased f rom between 4,000 and 5^00 persons when (Sovernor Kerrls ret i red a s governor 10 yea r s ago to between 11,000 and 12,000 now. yo f a r a s the county and local public expendi tures a r e concerned, he charged t ha t the in-crease iu taxa t ion <vas duo in large measure to the demands of the people themselves fo r public services that, they formerly d id without . H e said tha t if civilized government is to lie maintained there is a limit to which tax reductions can go, and warned tiiat the people-should not a t tempt to go loo f a r In cut t ing t h e budgets fo r ncccs-sary public purposes.

Denounces Army of Tax Spenders

Mr. Fouiks, in his address , s a i d : "There Is a grea t unrest throughout tiie country, wherever one goes the grea t mass of the people a r e dls-satisfied. The coming year looks like a ha rd year fo r t h e fa rmer . The re is nothing in sight to give him much

j cheer. Grave and thought fu l men have given their best e f for t s to ascer ta in the cause of this condit ion and they a r e now agreed w h a t h a s brought it about and a r e engaged in trying to lind a solution.

" In the year 1014 the public eye was centered on marching a rmies and sinking lieets and without our realiz-ing It o ther vas t a rmies sp rang up— a f m l e s which d id not march, armies t ha t did not c a r r y guns or sha re our hardships. Vast a rmies of t ax gath-erers and tax spenders and they a re still with us, and they will continue to remain with us, until such t ime as the man who pays the bills, kick them out. These office holders w h o failed to hold on to the i r federal jobs sought ivisy employment In city, s t a t e and town governments. They t r ans fe r r ed their affections t o county, school and road boards, unt i l today the very a i r Is v ibrant with the unrest and murmur -ing of the oppressed people. My fr iends , this is the condition of the country today, and this is tiie con-dition t ha t you mus t meet."

H e discussed the different depar t -ments of the Federa l Govemmeut and f a i l ed a t tent ion t o their high costs ,and the ex t ravagance and Inefficiency found there. H e called upon the farm-e r s to protect the i r own Interests, otherwise It would not bo done by any-one else.

He asked them . to Join their local Taxpayers ' Associations where tiiey could .have organized ass is tance and cited numerous instances of w h a t had been done by these /associations In every iwirt of t he country. H e warned them tha t Ibis was no time for

I dalliance. H e appealed to their patr iot ism and to the Justice of their cause and then said "If you have not suffered enough al ready one could al-most wish t ha t you would feel the Iron hand of the Dic ta tor in order t ha t you would come to know the desireabiii ty of law, order a n d decent government ."

, H e said tha t a i l progress was half p a i n ; ail advancement ba rd work, and

LAW MAKERS USE PRUNING KNIFE

S t a t e lieKislature Out to Force ( leueral

Tux Keduclion

Lansing. Mich., !\pril 14.- When the present session of the special legis-lat ive session ends, there Is a possibil-ity of some subs tant ia l reductions in s ta le expenses. Some members of the legislature would go way beyond any-thing that the (Sovernor has recom-mended. In fact , they have done so wherever possible. The building fund for the eusiliiiK yea r has been slashed an addit ional twenty-live per cent on tii|i of tiie IIfteen per cent asked by the governor. Many of the higher-up sal-ar ies will be reduced much more than lifteen per cent if the legislature passes some of tiie hills now before it.

There is a general feeling of re-s t ra int upon the part of the legislat-ors. The refusa l of the a t torney gen-eral ' s office to prepare only such bills a s come f rom the governor 's office has resulted in some members of the house prepar ing their own bills which seek to make more subs tant ia l cuts In salaries, expenses and main teuance funds than those that have been rec-ommended.

Another newspaper publisher du r ing the pas t few days stepped into the spotlight. Bepresentat lve Len Kelgh-ner, of Nashville, has introduced a bill into the house which would requi re banks to insure all deposits. He con-tends thai the man or women who puts i'loney into a .savings account should have the same protection a s granted public funds.

The legislature has made progress with its banking legislation. The lull permit t ing dosed banks to open under a depositors ' agreement providing .-o per cent sign It, Is apparent ly on the way to become a law. The s t a t u t e at present reqplres that 05 per cent ef the depositors sign up to permit a closed bank to re-open. A number of b.inks a r e now opera t ing under agreements of tills kind, t he largest one being in Ypsllantl.

Bepresentat lve Vern Brown, in his campaign fob reduction of salar ies as well as the decrease in the number of s t a t e employees, forced a reduction last week in the number of employees, carr ied on the ( 'beisee cement plant payroll. This plant was closed over a yea r ago and Itepresentatlve Brown discovered that it still mainta ined a year ly payroll of over $41,000. When he brought this mat te r to light, it was immediately cut in half.

Senator Chester Howell, publisher of the Chesaning Argus, Is not let t ing up in Ids demands for a complete public review of an Itemized report of the s t a t e personnel and salar ies .

Coupled with the salary question has come the problem of s ta te owned auto-moniies. Members of tiie legislature liefore the present week is over will know Just how many cars the var ious depar tmen t s a r e using and what the s t a t e is paying to keep these c a r s in o|M>rallon.

Mast impor tant of a i l , and Ihe bill providing tiie greatest amount of dif-licully, is the measure which seeks to divide the weight lax among the var-ious counties.

Twice this bill has been called back by Governor Brucker and a l tered in an effort to have It give more general sat isfact ion. How to f r a m e the 1)111 so tha t It will give the most relief is tiie question none a re agreed upon.

Until some sort of an agreement can lie reached upon many of these con-tiictlng measures , there seems to he lit-tle prospect of immediate ad jou rnmen t .

"ROCK GARDENS" DISCUSSED A I ANNIVERSARY HEE1ING

Members of Coloma Garden Club En-

joyed a Treat at Home of Airs.

Auguste l lenricl

A very Interest ing meeting of the Coloma Garden Club w a s held April 0 th a t the home of the president , Mrs. Auguste Henrlc l . Th is U'ing t h e sev-enth ann iversa ry of the club, many guests were invited to a t t end this festal occasion. The chief enter ta in-ment of the day was a well delined and very Instruct ive ta lk given by A. L. Versaw of Benton Harbor , man-ager of the Balubow Gardens.

Mr. Versuw's subject was "Bock Gardens ." H e told of tiie right plants to use in rock gardens and answered questions on tills subject which were propounded by the members and guests. H e s ta ted t ha t rock gardens a r e not modern, but a r e very ancient, being mentioned In the Bible a s ex-ist ing before the t ime of Christ . The Garden of Gethsemane was a rock gar-den, ami the Cart l iagenlans bad the most famous rock garden of ancient times. A rock garden mus t have the proper set t ing and background, de-clared Mr. Versaw, and should never be built in a f ront ya rd .

A very elaborate bi r thday cake, beaut iful ly decorated in green and whi te frost ing, these being the club colors, occupied Ihe center of the table, and was cut and served by Mrs. Hen-rlcl. Mrs. Niver poured, and other re-f reshments were served by members of the club.

The sh rub fo r the month of April is the dogwood, the Lat in name Cornus, because of the toughness of the wood, and was derived f rom Cornu. meaning horn. The apple is t he t ree of the month. T h e daisy is the liower of tiie month. Chaucer so loved the liower tha t his por t ra i t lias a daisy in place of a coat of arms, as was usually used In old paint ings.

The settlement w a s rec-ommended by the committee and At-torney W. I'. Harvey, who is handling these bank cases.

l to court. The bank is expected to de-clare a :i(l percent dividend within a short time, Mr. Harvey s i id . The total county deposits in this bank amounted to si-t.'J.ooo.

i The amounts owed by the other closed banks include: Stevensville V'.ale bank, .f-'O.iHHl; Iterrlen County bank. Benton Harbor, $20,000; Ameri-can National Hank \ T r u s t Co., Ben-ton Harbor.- $5,(MM»: Kirst National ban. Buchanan, $40,000, and Kirst S la te bank, i tuchanan, $40,000.

AT LEAST that is the way kincs themselves seem to think. Too oft-

en they think llpit mlRht makes right. You and 1 know better. Hut kinirs, poor things, never have had Ihe ad-vantnees tbnt we have. Too often they never have learned to do tilings fo r themselves, because they never have had to d<» things for themselves. They' simply command that things be done for them. Ann, so, because they have this power to command, they too often have come to think that they have a right to command any-thing that they please. They can-not understand that other people have rights.

It is some times this way with Kinj: Eagle. He likes fish, but he never h a s learned to catch them for himself, feo because he likes fish and wants Iflsh and is big enough and strong enough, he feels that he has a per-fec t right to t ake them from Plun-ger the Fish Hawk, and that Plunger should gladly give them up at his de-mand because he is the king. If he were not the king. I suspect he would be called Just a plain robber. liut no one thinks of calliiiR the king a rob-ber—that Is, no one but Plunger,

When llsbing Is good and Plunger can catch plenty without half trying, he doesn't much mind giving up a few to King F.agle. l ie may grumble a ill-He. but that Is all. Hut when, as on th i s part icular morning, he has lished patiently for a long time without catching a single fish, and then when he Is almost ready to give up, does catch n tine, big fa t fish, he thinks It ra ther too much to have King Eagle suddenly appear and demand that tlsh. So Plunger made up his mind that he would not give It up until he absolute-ly had to, in spile of King Kagle's or-ders to drop It.

Now, Plunger the Fish Hawk is a wonderful flyer, but. wonderful ns he Jp. King Eagle Is a si 111 more wonder-ful flyer, and Plunger knows it. In spite of this he did his best to out-fly King Eagle. Hut the fish was big and heavy, and so of course Plunger could not fly his best. He dodged this way and that way, mounted high In the air ai.d dropped suddenly, all the t ime working toward the Green Forest. Ku t all the t ime Klne Eagle kept right with him without half trying, actually flapping his great wings In Plunger's very face, and all the t ime command-

ing Plunger to drop that fish. Plunger was about ready to give up when Mrs. Plunger arrived to help him. She flew In King Eagle's way and did her very best to Interfere, all the t ime scream-ing a t King Eagle and calling him a robber and thief and everything bad she coulrf think of. She was trying to

"Stop Fooling and Drop Tha t F ish l" Hissed King Eagle.

make King Eagle so angry that he would leave Plunger alone and try to punish her.

Hut King Eagle Is altogether too smart to he fooled in any such way as that. He knew exactly what she was trying to do, and he paid no at-tention to her except to threaten her with his great claws when she ven-tured too near. He wanted that big

fa t fish and h t meant to have It. At first he was simply mildly threatening. He did not want to hurt Plunger. Not that he cared part icularly for Plunger. He didn't . His reason for not wanting to hurt Plunger was purely selfish. 1 suspect. He wanted that part icular fish, but he would want more tlsh In the fu ture , n r d If he hurt Plunger and disabled him, who would catch those fish fo r him In the fu tu re? So his whole Idea was merely to fr ighten Plunger Into dropping timt fish.

Plunger knew this, for Plunger Is no fool, and so he held*on and hoped with all his might that King Eagle would lose patience and g l v up. And at last King Eagle did lose patience, but with nc Intention of giving up. He began to lose his temper. Plunger saw a sudden change In the fierce eyes of King Eagle. They grew more fierce. Plunger 's heart failed and he shivered with fear .

"Stop fooling and drop that fish!" hissed King Eagle.

With a scream of rage and disap-pointment Plunger obeyed. He didn't dare do otherwise. The king was no longer to be denied. It was might and not right that gave him his way.

FISH DISHES

"Even If you take scandal with a pinch of t a l t , " says generous Gene, "It doesn' t make It savory."

(®. K i t . Bell Syndicate.)—WNII Service.

ANY kind ot tlsh In the market may be us»d with little variation for

tiiese recipes. When one can purchase a thick slice or fillet of rich fish there is little waste. A pound goes » Ions way. Any tha t Is left may be used In salad, souffles, or creamed and served on toast .

Baked Fillet. Wash the fish and wipe dry. Melt a

t.'.blespoonful of but ter and brush over the fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and rub gently with n tablespoonful of flour. Put on the rack of a roaster, covet and bake forty minutes In a rather hot oven. The flour and but ter will make a nice crust over the fish. Serve with wedges ef lemon and gar-nish with parsley.

Broiled Fillet of Haddock. The household will he healthier 11

the broiler Is used more and the fry-ing pan less. When one has a stove with a good broiler there la no reason to use a frying pan. It Is the simplest thing In the world to broil your break-fnst bacon, chops and steak on n broiler. It must be carefully watched, of course, but the results a re worth while. Have the broiler hot. grease the rack lightly and lay on the fillet of fish—not too close to scorch It. turn and cook on both sides until well done. As soon a s It Is placed on a hot pJatter pour over the fish two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and two of lemon Juice. Dust with pep-per and serve « l th a t a r t a r sauce.

Molded Ramekin of White Fish. Combine five tablespoonfuls of tapi-

oca with one cupful of milk, one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, dash of cayenne, one-half tablespoonful of minced pars-ley and two and one-fourth copfuls of finely flaked fish. Let stand five minutes then turn Into greased cus-tard cups or ramekins and bake In a moderate oven until well cooked. Un-mold and garnish the top of each, with a sprig of parsley. Serve with caper sauce.

He's Gone to Measure Cosmic Rays

By CHERIE NICHOLAS

SPRINGTIME Is here, which brings thoughts of the sewing campaign

which Is and ever will be a t this sea-son of the year .

Here 's a tlmoly word of advice, be sure to stock your work basket and your sewing cabinet with a goodly as-sortment of crochet hooks and crochet threads and yarns, fo r a touch of hand crochet Is the call of the hour. Par is Is all enthusiasm on the crochet sub-ject and so Is every style-wise Amer-ican woman and ber next-door neigh-bor.

i t Is taken for granted tha t you have been buying up all sor ts of pret-ty wash mater ia ls In anticipation of this annual sewing bee, for who can resist the lure of the perfectly lovely cottons, rayons and. linens and wash-able silks which have been so tempt-ingly on display throughout the vari-ous fabr ic depar tments this many a day.

As usual the "still small voice" Is bidding mother to consider the needs of the little folks of the household first. Which Is the reason why we are showing this group of Interesting styles for children. Seeing that hand crochet Is so exceedingly popular, why not adorn little daughter ' s bright washable-print school frock with neck trim and sleeve bands of hand cro-chet. They will give an a i r of dis-tinction to her gown such as only handwork can give.

These little crochet pieces a re so easy to do that an ent i re set like that which adorns the f rock to the left in the picture can be made In one eve-ning while listening In on the radio. The short story hour"would afford suf-ficient time, for t h e st i tch Is easy and the s t r ips a re s traight .

POLITE CONVERSATION

IN OLD-FASHIONED rules for po-lite conversation, children, servants

and personal Infirmities were subjects strictly taboo. II was also considered bad form to talk about money mat-ters o r love affairs . Anything tha t might be considered a s dealing even remotely with sex was considered In-delicate and as a usual thing discus-sion of religion or politics was con-sidered bad form.

Conversation nowadays Is less r e s t rained than It used to he but many of these taboos are wisely retained. Hut even avoiding any of these sub Jects one may stUl make mistakes. Motor enthusias ts who talk about what roads they took to get f rom here to there on so many gallons ol gaso

line, bookish people who try to discuss books tha t no one e lse has read, movie fans who like to give resumes of pic-ture plays they have recently seen, people who rehash bridge hands, golf-ers who would as soon talk about the game a s play It—are frequently as tiresome as mothers who talk about their babies or Invalids who talk about their ailments. Af te r you have made a mental list of all t h e subjects tha t may be t iresome o r offensive In "po-lite conversat ion" you feel Inclined to ban conversation entirely.

A fa r bet ter rule f o r agreeable con versatlon nowadays Is th i s ; Be as amusing and diverting as possible without making a fool ot yourself and without giving offence. If the most amusing anecdote you know has some-thing to do with your cook go ahead with It If you get a chance.

The neckband and cuffs a re applied with a t r im sti tch thread In one of colors of the design In the fabr ic . The trim stitch is done on the machine. Use the coarsest of machine needles, and set the gauge for nine or ten stitches to the Inch, Bias trim In or-ange shade outlines the clever yoke effect at the waistline.

Speaking of bias trim, any young girl will be most delighted with a plaid gypsy girdle with head band to match, such as Is worn by the seated figure sketched above to the left . The Idea Is to stitch bias trim In various colors outlining a plnlded design as Is shown. This Is really a unique Idea and one which can be worked very effectively In a trimming way. Jade , scarlet, pilot blue, orange and black bias trim make a s tr iking combination when plnlded ns suggested.

Just as novel and Interesting Is the braided hatband and girdle which the other young miss Is wearing. Th is set Is also made of bias trim, such as can be bonght by the bolt a t nny no-tion counter. Fold the bias trim In half, and fasten the ends with thumb tacks to a desk blotter or pad. Then Interlace the s t r ips firmly, continuing with pins to hold In position a*, you proceed from one side to the other. The hat band may be made a little narrower than the belt, using five In-stead of seven str ips.

CHAPTER XII—Continued — 2 5 —

H e tilted the Browning muzzle down-ward and steadied himself to run a burst .at the rear canoe. Hut tha t c r a f t dar ted up ulnngslde the lending boat and hovered there, protected aga ins t his machine gun by their near-ness to Joyce. With sullen f o u ' s up-turned, the bandi ts watched the maneuvering plane, waiting for Alan's nex t move, defying him to touch them,

Ituzzard had hanked In a neat hair-pin turn, had dropped down to six hundred feet and was flying hack pas t , a hundred yards off the vertical, so tha t Alan could fire down at them diagonally and double his concentra-tion by ricocheting bullets off t he wa-ter . It was a superb position. Alnn could have killed those five bandi ts and sunk their canoes In half a min-ute. But he dared not Hre a shot.

It was In that space of hopeless deadlock tha t Joyce came through. Alan saw her make him some slight sign, a mere gesture which the bnn-dlts , leering up at him, did not see. H e read the meaning of that ges tu re ; Joyce was preparing for some sudden ac t ion ; she was signaling him to be ready I

Without a whisper of warning, so i w l f t l y and neatly that t he bandi ts looked around In dazed bewilderment, she half-rose In the canoe, dived head-long over the gunwale, and disap-peared .

It came so suddenly that fo r mo-m e n t s Alan himself hardly compre-hended what she had done. When he did realize tbnt she bad given him his eplendld chance, his finger t ightened on the t r igger and the Browning leaped Into play.

For twenty secondo, till t he re was danger of Joyce reappearing, he Hailed a n d swept the two canoes with a rain of bullets. He scorched one man, who jumped and yelled. The deadly hall d rove them pellmell In ter ror of their lives. Into shel ter of the neares t flags.

F i f ty feet f rom where she had dived, Joyce reappeared a moment, cast a (Tightened glance back, tossed the di-sheveled hair f rom her eyes, swam a s t roke or two. and then flipped under again like a young otter , making f o r a soggy reed bed on the other side of t h e lake.

"Low I Fly low I" Alan shouted Into Buzzard ' s ears. "Sweep low over 'em I They'l l t ry to get her again If we don't fo rce the flght now!"

With rifles snarl ing at them from flags below, with whi te puffs of smoke dr i f t ing away on the breeze, t he plane banked and d ived; and less than four hundred feet high. It soared over the bandi ts . Its third time. Its last and f a t a l time. . . .

Nearly flung out bodily by the quick wrenching maneuvers , Alan braced himself and hung grimly to the Brown-ing and ran a burst a t the flags t ha t t h e bandi ts were firing from. H e Wiled a m a n ; he saw the criminal fling up his a rms and s tagger and fall f a c e downward In the reeds and water . W i t h ano ther burst , enfilading those flags f rom a side angle, he would have wiped out the o ther four.

But tha t chance was not given him. The thunder of the engine suddenly

Slackened, the motor splut tered anil d i e d ; In place of the throbbing roar Alan heard only the swish of s t ru t s and hum of wires. In the sudden quiet he heard Buzzard's cry of con-a ternat lon and saw his flight pa r tne r t u r n a whi te face toward h im; and h e guessed the engine had been put ou t of commission by those snar l ing r i f les In the flags below.

T h e next Instant, with those rifles still blazing away, a t remor-seemed to h i t the plane, a s though o ther bullets had s t ruck It. I t lurched violently. I t s nose and right wing dropped, and

• It s ta r ted a s teep side-slip. With a ges tu re of sickened despah a t th i s second mortal blow. Buzzard cut off Ignition and battled with stick and rudder-bar to keep the p lane f rom plummeting Into the bog under keel.

Two-thirds of a mile f rom the ban-dits , i t fell heavily Into the wate r on one wing and pontoon, rocked a mo-ment uncertainly, righted Itself and floated—but disabled, useless, out of t h e batt le.

Be fo re the spray f rom t h e plane 's heavy fall had fa i r ly settled. Alan w a s o n his feet , s t r ipping off helmet and Jacket , looking back at the flags where t h e bandi ts lay hidden and t h e reedy bog where Joyce had found a tem-po ra ry refuge.

For a moment, numbed by this sud-den crash of all h is plans, he s tared hopelessly across tha t watery thou-sand yards . The launch was, s t randed, miles away; 1 Pedneaul t and Bill were both out of the reckoning; the plane w a s d isabled; the bandi ts were f r e e to r ecap tu re Joyce and escape In their canoes. In the space of Ave minutes h is whole ven ture had come to nothing.

F rom the bandi t ' s covert t o the bog w h e r e Joyce was hiding w a s a scant t w o hundred yards . Whatever move h e tr ied, be must act swif t ly . In a very few minutes, when those men re-covered their wits, they were going to seize their advan tage ; they were going t o whip across, beat through those flags and find her again. She would never flit out of the i r hands a second t ime.

Whirl ing on Buzzard, he demanded s h a r p l y ; "You can ' t taxi back the re? Can ' t get me close enough to use the Browning?"

"Can ' t taxi a foot. Motor 's out . They hit something; t ha t ' s why the engine konked on us. Think the wire t o the t imber box Is cut."

"How long—us to fix t h a t ? " "Take us an hour," Even a s Buzzard spoke, Alan saw

the bandi ts rise up yonder In the flags a n d s t a r t shoving their canoes Into the wa te r . They were going to da r t across a n d recap tu re Joyce.

% A t the sight of that , b is last hesi-

tancy was swept away. Snapping around to the fuse lage cubby, he je rked out the frail canvas canoe and unfolded It. Buzzard had been thrust-ing pliers, wrench and tape Into his pockets, but now he stopped and s ta red wide-eyed a t his par tner .

"Good L o r d ! You don't In-tend . . . ?"

"Wha t else? Stand here and watch them hunt her down?"

"Across that open wate r? Illght Into their rilles? Them shooting into you from cover? Alan, don ' t ! For God's sake, don't try t h a t ! "

Alan Jammed the last thwart-prop Into Hh notch, lifted the canoe one-handed down upon the water, flung In the paddle and Jumped down upon a float.

"Hand me the Browning and the car t r idge webs. Come a l ive! Don't you see they ' re s ta r t ing across to get Joyce? Why shouldn't 1 go a f t e r them on open water? Larry Younge did once. Hand those things d o w n ! "

"All right, then," Buzzard gave In. "But If you ' re going . . . " He seized the second paddle, caught u p ' t h e light rifle which had been Joyce 's apd flung a leg over the cockpit edge. "I 'm In on that , son."

Alan fended him back with nn arm. "S tay here! Tha t ' s what 1 menu! You can' t help—out there. If you'd go. If they'd sink the boat, we'd both be out. Get busy on this plane. Fix It. You've got her rifle to fight 'em away f rom you. If they put me out of business, you can whip down and get Pedneault and fly over to Join Bill. You th ree can carry It on with them."

He pushed ofT Buzzard's restraining band, skirled away f rom the plane and beaded west toward that acre of thick flags where the bandi ts hod been driven to cover.

Pliers In hand but his work forgot-ten, Buzzard climbed upon a wing to watch the outcome of that fear fu l ly uneven batt le.

Alan's goal was a little patch of reeds th ree hundred and fifty yards f rom the bandits . It was a miserable place to fight f rom, when those four

But He Dared Not Fire a S h o t

rifles yonder would be snarling at him from perfect hiding. The patch was merely a few yards s q u a r e : the reeds, only a couple of feet high, were so sparse that one could see through the c lump; and the approach to It across tha t open water was a gantlet of death.

But It was all the cover Alan saw, and was better at least than noth-ing. The reeds meant that the water the re was shallow enough for blm to plant t he Browning. By paddling up fas t with the canoe bow-on, be be-lieved he might get to the flags. Once there, once the Browning leaped Into play, he could smother those rifles In a few seconds.

The bandi ts had been shoving their heavily laden canoes back through the flags to the open wate r of the pond lying between them and Joyce. But

when they saw him skirlln« away from the plane, they stopped and watched him for a few moments until his In-tention became unmistakable. Alan saw them hold a qu'ck council. And then, a s though realizing how deadly tha t open water s t re tch was, how Im-possible to cross In the face of four rifles, they pulled the canoes back and secreted themselves In the I h g s and coolly waited.

When he was still two hundred yards f rom the reed patch and nearly six hundred f rom the bandits, they opened on him. A rifle boomed dully like a caribou Winchester, and Its heavy bullet ricocheted off the water a dozen feet to his left. Another harked at him. A third kicked up spume a little nearer . Then the fourth, a sharp-cracking Savage, spoke out. Bet te r aimed. In the hands of a deadly marksman. It sent a bullet so close past Alan's ear that Involun-tari ly he winced and bent lower.

The second bullet splintered a hole through the blade of his paddle. iir>-llfted fo r a stroke. I ts third, still closer, s t ruck the wate r between pad-dle and canoe, ricocheted off. spun endwise and tore through the fa t side of the canvas c raf t , missing the mid-dle thwar t by an Inch. The four th , elevated a little, sang past In air, harmlessly, but with a murderously d o s e wh-aa-ng that Jerked a gasp f rom his lips.

The fifth bullet hit Alan. Il ls lef t hand felt numb and par-

alyzed. Glancing down at It. he saw the blood s tar t spurt ing—fall ing In crimson splotches upon the white can-vas. And then be saw that his ring finger, almost completely severed, hunc by a mere shred of skin.

With one glance he realized bis finger w a s beyond any surgery to re-store. The dangling thing hampered his grip on the paddle. As though Its loss was of no consequence In these momenta of life and death, he took firm hold of It and pulled it off. The pain came then. In dar t ing throbs tha t shot to his elbow and made him shiver.

As he gripped the paddle and turned his eyes ahead again toward the thin patch of reeds, he was hit a second time, by the sixth and last bullet of the "breed's magazine. For a second he was dazed, so dazed he could not realize where he had been struck. Then be felt a pain like a hot Iron pressed along his fo rehead ; and some-thing warm and crimson began trick-ling down Into his eyes, half-bllndlng him.

The Savage did not shoot again just then. The 'breed was evidently re-loading and lowering his elevation s i g h t In the comparat ive silence, Alan becamc a w a r e that Buzzard was hoarsely shouting a t him. Dimly he heard the pleading f r an t i c yel ls :

"Back a w a y ! For God's sake, back a w a y ! They'll kill you. Alan! Look across. To your right. Something like cover. . . . Back away, swing over t he r e ! "

Sickened by pain and ballet-shock, Alan scooped up h handful of wa te r and duslied It acrors his eyes, sr that he could see. Glancing north, vaguely wondering what cover Buzzard meant , he saw a little reed bed two hundred ya rds distant . As he glanced at It, he saw tha t It was dry ground, s tanding a foot above water . A swan nest there, a huge s t ruc tu re of willow st icks and reeds and tussock heads, almost completely covered It,

Backing off a few dozen yards, he turned the canoe and flung his whole s t rength Into reaching that swan nest .

The th ree bandits, knowing he was hard hit , seeing the wobbly, e r ra t ic course of the canoe, came burst ing out . of the flags with eager shouts to finish him off.

A bullet, s tr iking a few feet short, r icocheted off the water and tore through the prow. Alan laid the Browning down flat on the bottom to keep the precious weapon s a f e ; and th rus t ing his boot against t he jagged hole, he tried to stop the s^out of wa-te r that was rapidly flooding his c r a f t .

Beauty on Every Hand

HOW many times, I wonder, have you and you and you been

shocked by an ugly hand hiding be-hind a trim and stylish glove. Were It not for tht protection they give and the finished look they add to the cos-tume ensemble I would be all for abolishing gloves. For t ime and again it has been proven tha t exposure Is" the Incentive to grea te r beauty.

The very first rule to remember when handing yourself beauty Is t ha t t he hands must match your face In general tone and texture . Never cream your face without doing os much for your hands. When you cleanse, tone, nourish or bleach the face and neck take a minute to fol-low the same beautifying process for your hands, too. It will be t ime well

j spent, I promise you. | It Is a very stubborn sort of skin i tha t does not respond to a week or j two of kindly care. Hough, chapped

hands soon take on a satin smooth-ness If treated to r nourishing cream, a hand loiion or a soothing balm. This should be smoothed Into the hands at night Just before one re-tires, and also several t imes dur ing the day a f t e r the hands have been washed.

For red and rough hands the old formula of glycerin and rose water , or equal par t s of glycerin and spiri ts of camphor should prove both bleach-ing and nourishing.

Hands that a re chapped should avoid soup and water for a few weeks. A cleansing cream Is both soothing and cleansing.

And every hand—from the loveli-est to the ugliest should receive the proper protection before It Is sent outdoors. In the winter the chill b las ts will redden and roughen and chop the skin. In the summer the sun 's heat saps the skin of the nat-ural oils making It dry ond leathery looking. A finishing cream smoothed over the hands and a dust ing of pow-der to top the loveliness Is sufficient to carry smooth, white beauty through a busy day.

Fruit juice s ta ins a r e not new to the homemaker. The lowly lemon Is a handy thing to have about If you a r e seeking hand beauty. A bit of to-mato Juice will also remove f ru i t s ta ins .

The hands of youth and beauty present a beautifully healthy skin tone, clear, transparent—not a dead white but the proverbial peaches and cream loveliness. The hands of youth and beauty are hands you love to hold for their satin smooth loveliness. N o wrin-kles, no discolorations, no ragged nails ever mar the hands of youth and beauty. Hand yourself beauty and remember that beautiful hands are also on the march in the spring fashion parade.

Make-Up Need Not Make You Look Bizarre

IN ADDITION to the many women who have nok yet adopted cosmetics,

the re Is still ano ther group. The group consists of women who a re un-de r the mistaken Impression tha t using rouge or powder will make them look too-obvlously "made up." They ossih clate maek-up In general with an ec-centric, exaggerated effect.

Make-up is a subt le a r t T o use none at all Is to commit a s grave an offense against beauty as to use ton much. The pallid, haggard woman is almost as much of an eyesore a s the too-obvlously painted lady. But by choosing the right rouge and powder— a shade to match the skin, tex ture to make blending easy, a quality tha t will In no way hurt the skin—and by ap-plying these touches skil lfully one can achieve not only a na tura l but a beau-t i ful effect a s well.

T o achieve a natural effect the first requisite is to select a shade of rouge that blends perfectly with your natural coloring.

If you have so little na tura l coloring t ha t you a r e In doubt what It Is, there a re several ways of determining I t When you a re flushed, notice your col-or, or when ererclslng, the blood will rush to the surface, or a f t e r pa t t ing with skin tonic, not ice the color a s well as the color outline, tha t Is jus t where the "key" or deepest shade Is and notice how It fades away grad-ually. t

The next s tep , i s to blend the rouge to simulate the natura l color outline— apply It to the "key spot" then blend It so that It fades away. Edges should never be definitely outlined, but sof t -ened so t ha t they o re scarcely percep-t i b l e A cream rouge Is best suited to this blending process and achieves a warmer, more natural , glowing and heal thful effect.

Powder should also match the skin and should harmonize with eyes and hair . Choose a good quality powder and one of good texture. When apply-ing the powder do not rub It Into tiie skin. Put It on In nn upward and out-ward direction, then gently smooth It over.

And while on the subject of make-up, let me urge you to adopt a lip paste or lipstick, too. Rosy cheeks and pale lips do not conform with natural order of things. v N

A too-obvious make-up should be avoided. But a na tura l make-up will only serve to enhance your beauty, to make you look more healthful , more alive.

/ "^AP'N HORNEPAYNE was worried, j ^ He was on hla way to see Clarlssy | Martin, the schonlma'am, and for a | ho ny-hatided seaman he was facing , a .iellcate si tuation. He Intended to ! pop the fatal question that would

probably take her away from her du-| ties as school teacher to an obscure

fishing village.

For more t imes than he cared to re-member. Cap'n Hornepayne had In-tended to pop the question, but .every-tlme he tried to do so, something In-side of him seemed to reach up and

j gei a s t rangle hold on his voice. This j time, he vowed, was going to be dlffer-j ent. He was carrying a talisman tha t

had proved Itself lucky on other occa-sions. It was a small silver horseshoe I hat he had won In some iong-forgot-

1 ten c o n t e s t

There ore a grea t many people who believe In the lucky properties attrib-uted to horseshoes. Clarlssy Martin belonged to tha t class. She had a worn horseshoe nailed over her kitch-en door.

Dusk was set t ing In rapidly and a light glowed f rom a front window of the schoolma'am's cottage, as Cap'n Hornepayne come abreast of It,

Drawing a deep breath, he knocked firmly on the door, believing all the while tha t his hear t was making a louder echo with Its rapid thumping. A short pause, then the door was opened wide.

"Evenln' , Cap'n Hornepayne."

"Evenln", Miss Martin." replied the captain, fumbling with his cap.

Giving him a quick, sincere smile of greeting, the schoolma'am led him into the tiny parlor. She was, a s the coptnln would have expressed I t "all primped up."

Conversation was desultory. The scanty news concerning the village was soon exhausted. The weather came In for Its share of comment. Fishing operat ions were discussed, but that . too. soon languished. It was then tha t Clarlssy Martin suggested that they sit on the veranda for awhile. The capta in agreed with a l ac rlty.

They found the two chairs placed in convenient position. The night was mild, shadows were deepening and the a tmosphere was conducive to amatory conversation.

Surreptit iously, he slipped a hand Into his coat pocket and like Aladdin with his magic lantern, rubbed his lingers over the horseshoe, fervently praying for some loop hole that would offer him a chance to swing the con versatlon Into the channel he desired.

Perhaps not altogether Innocent of his Intentions. Clarlssy Martin gave him the long-awaited chance a s she casually Inquired: "How Is your house comln" along, Cap'n? 1 remein her you sayln' tha t you only hud to put a few more touches to finish it o f f . "

Cap'n Hornepayne gave a gusty sigh of relief as those blessed words bridged the gulf that hud been grad uully widening between them. T h e horseshoe was not falling him. H e knew be xtas on the right course now. He edged his chair closer to the schoolma'am's.

"The little bouse Is comln' along fine." he told her, with renewed con-fidence. "When I brought the schoon-er In this last trip, I come in with the finest catch o' the season. I got nice pay for I t too. O' course I sailed most o' the money away with the rest I had, but I kep* enough out to put the last touches to the house. Now she 's finished and stondln' ship shape, ready to weather any storm."

"Don't you find it a bit lonesome livin' alone like you do, Cap'n Horne-payne?"

"Aye, it does get a bit lonely at times," the capta in agreed. Drawing a deep breath he plunged Into the opening offered by the schoolma'am's question. "O' course. It ain't my In-tention to live alone all t he time. I been thlnkln ' lately that a man soon-er or la ter ought to find himself a wi fe on ' set t le down some. 1 been wonderln' , too . . . well . , . y e see It 's this way. Ye seemed Inter-ested in the house on' I thought tha t . . . tha i ye might sor t o' like to t ake over the tiller . . .?"

The question wus out a t last. T h e capta in was on tenterhooks as he waited fo r the fa te fu l answer . Then, os sweetly a s the tolling of a church bell, the schoolma'am's words fell up-on the still a i r : "Captain, tha t would make me the happiest person alive."

•'Chrlssy, gal I" the captain cried hoarsely.

In the most convenient way Imag-inable the capta in found her head rest ing on his arm. and In the s.itne Instant he wus Imprinting a kiss upon her willing Hps. with a tenderness tha t one would never expect to find In a bluff, sea fa r ing captain.

If anyone bad been watching Clarls-sy Martin early the next morning, they would have seen a peculiar s igh t She was s tanding directly In f ront of two chairs she and Cop'n Hornepayne had occupied the previous evening. Her hands were clasped together and there was an enraptured l ight .

If anyone had been close enough, they would have seen tha t what she was looklne at was a horseshoe nailed to the cot tage wall under the cot tage roof . . . a worn horseshoe tha t formerly hod hung over the kitchen door.

"Cult" Began With the Birth of the Nation.

The old-fashioned American "cult jf bigness" Is the latest subject to a t t rac t the attention of the histo-r ians. scientists and scholars. Sher-wood Anderson thinks tha t a "tre-mendous advance" would occur In American civilization "If people tried to be little instead of big," he says in the Woman's Home Companion.

"This notion that anyone in Amer-ica can be President, that anyone can be a millionaire and that all men are created f ree and equal, has done more damage than good. I would ra ther he loved a bit In my small home town than be famed the world over."

Arguing on the other side, an equally eminent authori ty is quoted os saying: "One would suppose that this doctrine of Mr. Anderson's would be popular, as most of us per-force remain through all our lives little people and known to but a few nearby. But Mr. Anderson speaks In vain, for what he speaks against is no mere not ion; It Is a doctrine. Tr.e cult of bigness Is planted deep In American soli. Our pioneers sailed here over a vast sea and plunged

Into fores ts so wide and dense t ha t as J a m e s Truslow Adams has said, 'a squirrel might have leaped from bough to bough for a thousand miles and never seen the ground.' Thei r sons ferried over broad rivers, crossed mighty plains and scaled mountain ranges tha t seemed Im-passable. They and their sons In turn found In the plains on Incred-ible fertility. In the mountains inex-haustible resources of ores."'

Exaggeration. It Is pointed out, was dinned Into them by Mother Na-ture herself. "Even the climate, with Its swif t changes and its f a r extremes, inspired them to calculate the Incalculable. What wonder t ha t their progeny believe that nothing la too big to tackle and, to prove It. de-vise the most powerful machines and erect the loftiest s t ructures that t he world has known. Bigness has be-come such a blind fetish that a circus bowler can lure people Into his side-shows to gaze upon ' the largest mid-get In the wor ld . ' "

Mr. Anderson himself unconscious-ly reveals by an adjective his own Americanism when he says t ha t through frying to be little Americans would make a " t remendous" advance.

TRUTH ABOUT POEM "BEAUTIFUL SNOW"

The story tha t tho famil iar poem •'Beautiful Snow" was written by a young woman who committed sui-cide In Cincinnati Is a romantic yarn that has tagged a f t e r a poem for years. It Is entirely untrue . Bur-ton B. Ste .enson. In "Famous Single Poems," Is one writer who explains the source of the story.

During the Civ" war an unidenti-fied young womat. died In the Com-mercial hospital In Cincinnati, and among her effects was found a manu-script of this poem. It was sent to Enos B. Reed, editor of the National Union, who printed It and credited i ts authorship to the dead girl.

But It developed when the verses began to be copied among the news-papers that the lines had originally appeared In H a t t e r ' s Weekly of No-vember 27, 1858. some years before the death of the unknown girl.

The poem was published originally unsigned. It was written by John Whltaker Watson, who was born lu New York In 1824, graduated a t Co-lumbia university and studied medi-cine. but entered Journullsiu and de-veloped Into a wri ter of sent l t rontal verse and sensational serials. None of his other poems ever achieved the notice of this one. and because of the a t tent ion It a t t n u t e d , he used Its name as the t i t le of a book of verse whib he published In 1800.— Cleveland Plain Dealer,

Happy Ending of t Bermuda Cruite

By LEETE STONE

mm wn ww ( © by McGurt New»psD«r Byndlc*ta>

• WNU Servlc*. >

I I C * XCUSE me," Danforth Evans said to a lovely girl leaning

against the rail of the steamer Elspeth bound for Bermuda, the first hour out. "Excuse me; but you dropped this pa-pep out of the book under your arm. , ,

He held It out between two fingers and his smile was very winning.

"Ever so thankful. What a gorgeous sea!"

So started one of the million ship-board romances. It went like th i s :

"Yes, Isn't It? May 1 slop and chat a w b i l e r

"Please do!" "I s'pose this Is Just a trifling es-

cape from too-pressing suitors for you?" Danforth Evans said In his best manner. "This little voyage, 1 mean," he added.

"Say!" the girl turned squarely to face Danforth. "We'll get along fa-mously on this voyage if you don't try to pull any highbrow, 'wealthy set ' stuff on me. If 1 let you, you'd go on to relate that you're one of the spe-cial darlings of Southampton; that you're engaged but you hate i t ; that you've got the next best for tune to Ella Wendel's If your fa the r dies con-veniently soon . . . oh, I know the old stuff, big boy. This Is my third sea voyage."

This outburst left Danforth Evans a bit aghas t ; but he rallied nobly.

Quite r ight ! You called my little bluff, lovely lady. I was about to sug-gest that I had a great deal of money In my own right, and that we, you and 1 ought to continue this cruise down through the Canal Zone and up to San Francisco where we might get married and s tar t a tour of the world for a honeymoon. But you called me plenty. I'm a clerk at the men's fur-nishings in Ja rnegan ' s ; and I've saved for this vacation for a year. There 's the lowdown—and while I'm at It, let's not know each other 's names. Let's you call me Dan; and I'll cull you Nan—eh?"

O. K., Dan ; now we're on a straight footing. But tell me, you aren ' t en-gaged, a re you? I was kidding about that—and I hope you aren't because you've got a f ree look about you. Me, I'll be f rank. I work In a department store, too—sales girl In ladles' lingerie. Now let 's start square!"

"Righto, Nan! You guessed me the first t ime! I was going to tell you the whole sad story of how I was en-gaged by fond parents to my next door neighbor's daughter while we were both in kilts—on account of mutual money, you know. . . . Well, we'll cut out all that. Nan. There 's going to be a moon tonight. I looked it up on the oiflce calendar. Meet me here, and let's talk some more, will you?"

"O. K., big boy—I'll meet you any-where so long as you're square. Un-derstand?"

"Righto!" They met that night as naturally as

water is drawn from two streams into one. At the prow of the ship where they were bathed In moonlight, and the glided phosphorescence tinged the leaping waves with silver.

"Remember! This is a shipboard romance, Dan. Nothing serious!" Nan reproved as he put his arm gently over her shoulders.

"Trust me; I know all about them," Dan flippantly responded.

When the short sail was over, how-ever, there was something more than flippancy and Insincerity in the gaze of these two.

"It may have been a shipboard ro-mance," Dan murmured earnestly, "but I'll find you again on land; and when I do I'll keep you—just remember that."

Danforth Evans arrived at his an-cestral mansion In Long Island a few weeks later af ter a good sunning and tanning on the beaches, quite fit for his father 's brokerage oftlce and the nerve-racking din of downtown New York. He found the house In festive array. His mother, a silver-haired dowager of society, greeted him wi th :

"Well, Danfor th ; I 'm glad you wired me. Otherwise I'd have been sure you'd forgotten that tonight is my party for you and Blanche—she's Just back from the Sacred Heart convent."

"Oh, gee, mother! This Isn't the Middle ages! Why must I go through with that childish contract between dad and her dad. Don't make me go through with this childish engagement Why, I haven't seen ber since we ate lollypops together."

"Very well, my son. All I desire Is that you meet her t on igh t You might Just happen to like her."

All of which explains why Danforth Evans was filled with a great disgust for family pacts and ancestral bunk In general, as his mother escorted him througli the palatial drawing room to meet the girl be bad been affianced to years ago.

"There she Is. son! Talking to Blake Leigh. Isn' t she sweet?"

"My God!" Danforth Evans mut-tered reverently. " I t can' t be true— mother! You're kidding m e ! That Isn't Blanche Hey ward?"

Blanchp had seen the grand ap-proach and she turned to mother and son.

"Oh^yes It Is, Danny—but for the purpose of a Bermuda cruise I use Lorraine Grace or Just plain Nan, In-stead. I recognized you the moment I saw you—that unmistakable nose— and I hated you for not knowing me. In spite of the fac t tha t we haven't seen each other since lollypop days."

'Er . . . Er. . . . Give me a l i t t le time," Danforth Evans stut tered with a beatific smile on his face.

President and Congress in Jam Over Reduction in Expend-

itures—House Passes Bill Giving Philippines Indepen-

dence—Senate Faces Struggle Over Revenue Bill.

of

President Hoover

THE batt le fo r reorganization government bureaus and agencies

and for a general reduction in ex-pendi tures developed into a part isan

s t ruggle in congress with President Hoo-ver 's proposals under a t tack. The President led off with a special message to congress, In which he said t ha t while a f u r t he r reduc-tion of $200,000,000 in expenditures, in ad-dition to the billion dollars of new taxes, would be r.'<iuired to balance the budget, an even greater sav-ing could he accom-

plished by consolidation of hureauD and boards, by reform of administra-tive methods, by abolition of "less necessary functions." and by temporary suspension of other activities.

Inasmuch as so fa r reaching an economy program would require Ihe repeal and amendment of a multi-tude of existing laws, he proposed tha t the preparat ion of a comprehen-Bive plan be assigned to a commis-sion composed of senators, congress-men aud representat ives of the Execu-

tive. T h e President 's proposals met with

Immediate opposition on the part of Democrats in both houses, and a de-mand tha t the Executive submit spe-cific recommendations for the reduc-tion of expenditures. Speaker Garner declared tha t it was too late to crea te new commissions and assured the President that any specific recom-mendations he has to cut expenses will get" quick action in the house.

In reply to tiie opposition voiced aga ins t his message, I lie President in a l a te r s ta tement sa id :

" W h a t I asked for In my message wns organized, nonpart isan co-opera-tion by nil forces to reduce govern-ment expenses in the national emer-gency which insistently demands re-lief fo r the taxpayer ."

"What I have asked for is not a commission, hut tha t the senate and house delegate representat ives to sit down with representat ives from the administrat ion and endeavor to d r a f t a national economy bill."

Continuing, he said tha t without such action he saw no way by which there can he a maximum reduction in expenditures.

The comeback to this was tha t If t he President failed to present definite proposals for a reduction in expenses t h e Democratic leaders would present a plan of their own.

Senator Jones. Washington. Repub-lican. acting on the President 's pro-posals. Introduced a join, resolution in the senate to create a commission of th ree senators, three representatives and three officials of the administration to d r a f t an economy program and re-por t within th i r ty days. I t would not only suggest where appropriat ions should be slashed, but also recommenl consolidation and elimination of gov-ernment bureaus and agencies. The resolution met Instant opposition In the senate.

The majo r senate contest over thev

billion dollar t ax bill, now the subjec t of hearings before the senate finance committee, will probably develop with the move already s tar ted by inde-pendent members of both par t ies to boost the sur tax ra tes on the higher Incomes to a figure above the 40 per cent maximum voted by the hous". T h a t a determined effort will be made to res tore the manufac turers ' sales tax to the revenue bill Is a certainty. That It will be accomplished Is a foregone conclusion.

The Importance of government sal-a ry cuts in the economy scheme has been emphasized in support given tiie Idea by Senator Robinson, the Demo-crat ic leader, and Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi. The lat ter fore-cast with regret , t ha t a general slash w a s likely to materialize.

The house special economy commit-tee has approved bills to dispense with the army and navy t ransport service, with nn assorted annual reduction in expendi tures : to postpone indefinitely pa r t of the government 's big construc-tion program in the Capital at a saving of $750,000, and to establish the inter-nat ional water commission. This Is all t he consolidating and dispensing yet recommended by the committee.

Both the house nnd senate appropri-ation committees continue to t r im eacli bill down to the bone.

the sales levy were described as "cook-eyed sales taxes." The sales tax, he held, la equitable and fair.

No Answer to That "It says here tha t a woman writer

declares many women can' t live on $25,000." snorted f r iend husband.

"Yeah?" snapped his wife. "Well, they could If thei r husbands had bruins enough to earn tha t much."

Sweet Memory Wifev (hubby's fo rmer secretary)—

W h e r e ' were you ail evening, you brute?

Hubby—Honestly, honey, I wasn ' t a t the office.

SOMETHING CHARITABLE

"We've jus t completed a beautiful $20,000 home fur s t ray dogs and ca ts

and have $1,200 left fo r the bulldlug fund . "

"Why not use It to const ruct a nice little gas chamber where homeless aud fr iendless old men can be t rea ted to a painless death?" ^

INDEPENDENCE for the Philippines, an agitated issue for tiiree decades,

is made possible by a bill which passed the house by a vote of 300 to 47, giving freedom to tiie islands. Not a Demo-cratic vole was cast against the hill, and only two Democrats were paired in the negative. And on the Repub-lican side the 47 who voted '•no" were more than doubly matched by 110 who voted "yes." The Democratic total for the hill was 180 and the single Farmer-Labor vote was in the nfflrmutlve.

The bill agreed to provides for com-plete freedom for the Philippines a f t -er the islands have adopted a suitalile constitution and undergone a proba-tionary and seml-nutonomous period of eight years, during which tarilT ex-ports to the United States shall he limited to present levels ami Immigra-l ion-restr icted to SO persons annually.

On the Fourth of July following the conclusion of the eight-year period, American sovereignty is to ho with-drawn without any native plebiscite as provided in other measures. The United States will reserve only the right to retain certain naval and mil-i tary bases.

It is almost a foregone conclusion lhat President Hoover will veto the bill when it reaches him. hut the over-whelming vote in the house Indicates sufllclent s t rength to override a veto.

SENATOR AMIES' W.BARKLEY of Kentucky will deliver the keynote

address for the Democratic par ty when the national convention meets In Chicago pn June 27. His selection was made by a subcom-mittee of 23 national committeemen in an all-day session in Chi-cago. Joue t t Shouse of Kansas City, who was Senator Barkley's chief rival for the honor. Is to be rec-ommended fo r perma-nent chairman of the c o n v e n t i o n . Mr. Shouse. who is execu-tive chai rman of the national commit-tee. issued the following s ta tement at t he close of the meet ing:

"By unanimous action of the com-mit tee It was decided to recommend to the national committee, to be In tu rn recommended to the convention, the selection of Senator Barkley for temporary chairman and the selection of Mr. Shouse a s permanent chairman of the convention.

"Our conference was one of the most harmonious ever held."

TH E R E will be no "discusfflon or negotiation" on the question of

European debts by Secretary of S ta te Stimson during his visit to Geneva,

was the emphat ic declaration of Presi-dent Hoover.

Stlmson's visit Is solely In the Interest of securing concrete nnd definite resu l t s from the general dis-armament conference, even though those resul ts may not be revolutionary In char-acter , t he Pres ident said.

"The world needs, both economically and

spiritually, the relief that can come f rom some decree of successful Issue by the disarmament conference," the President said.

"Some two months ago I presented Ideas which I believed would con-t r ibute to a solution of some of the problems, and which were incorpo-rated in the general program.

" T h e world needs the reduction of government expenditures and the spir-it of peace tha t can come from Ge-neva."

N ? EW YORK STATE'S primary was

CLEAR signals were Mm

visible dur ing March that important results were

following from the co-ordinated plans of public agencies and pr ivate finance to brine about basic Improvement In the condition of business, the Ameri-can Bankers ' Association Journal says In Its monthly review.

I t notes that, although Immediate stimulations In current commercial ami Industrial activity were lacking nnd favorable trends In standard t r ade In-dexes were not apparent , growth In financial confidence and decrease In public fear were "too definite to be based on anything but solid facts and carried greater weight than formal statistics."

Concrete expression of a return of financial confidence was given for a period during March In the bond mar-ket. which evidenced a relaxation In the pressure of financial dis t ress and fear , and a turn In the direction of sa fe ty nnd confidence, the Jonrnnl says. "The most Important aspect of busi-ness betterment has been the wide-spread return of the banks to more normal operating conditions." It says, at t r ibuting this to the Reconstruction Finance corporation and other co-oper-at ive arrangements fo r assist ing both closed and operating banks t ha t a re "clearly having the desired effects."

ASSISTANT ei

ATTORNEY GEN-eral Seth Richardson. In a report

to the senate, described police admin-istration in Honolulu ns "impotent, un-disciplined, neglectful and unintelli-gent."

The report was in answer to a sen-a t e resolution calling for information on law enforcement in Hawaii . It fol-lowed the wave of criticism In navy and congressional circles over the reign of terror in the Islands, and par-ticularly In Honolulu, bronght to light by the at tack and assault by five na-tives upon Mrs. Tral ia Massle. wife of a navy lieutenant.

Mr. Richardson recommended the appointment by the President of a ter-ritorial police head fo r the ent i re ter-ritory. with f ill power of control and organization, nnd similar appointment of an attorney general to be the public prosecutor.

Regarding conditions In general, Richardson repor ted :

"We found no organized crime, no important criminal class, and no criminal rackets. We did not find substantial evidence tha t a crime wave—so-ca l led-was In existence In Honolulu. We did find, however, ample evidence of extreme laxity In the admlnistraton of law enforcement agencies.

"We believe tha t n continuation of such laxity Is f raugh t with much so-cial and political danger."

THE sena te finance committee pre-sided over by Chairman Smoot,

has opened Its hear ings on the billion dollar revenue bill passed by the house. A veritable avalanche of applica-t ions for hearings have been received by the committee.

Secretary of the Treasury Mills was t h e first witness a t the hearing. H e offered suggestions to elim-ina te defects and dis-criminations In the house measirfe.

Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, Repub-lican member of the committee, began a drive to line up support for a general manufac tu re r s ' sales tax In the new revenue bill.

Af te r Informal discussions with Re-publicans nnd Democrats, Reed an-nounced prospects for Insert lug a sales levy, similar to that rejected by the bouse, were by no means as unfavor-able ns forecast .

INFURIATED by months of dis tress f rom unemployment and dissatis-

fact ion wi th the government policy, a mob of 10,000 stormed the house of assembly a t St . John's, Newfoundland, and forced the resignation of the gov-ernment . Windows were smashed and public documents strewn In the streets .

Police were powerless In the dem-onstrat ion. World war ve terans then took charge of the si tuation and suc-ceeded In part ial ly restoring order. Citizens obeyed only the World war officers and the ve terans under them on the s t ree ts of the capital, while most of the police were bottled up In the assembly building by the Irate mob which milled outside.

The w a r ve terans closely guarded the residence of Premier Sir Richard Squires, who narrowly escaped seri-ous Injury In the riot when he was aided to h is home by th ree clergymen, who quieted n small portion of the mob which recognized the premier as he was hurr ied away.

AF T E R five years of s tudy and re-search, Dr. C. C. King, professor

of chemistry a t the University of Pi t t sburgh, has succeeded in Isolating and Identifying vitamin C, something t h a i has engaged the at tention of re-search scientists fo r years. Vitamin C Is plent i ful In lemons, oranges, to-matoes, potatoes, and certain other vegetables and frui ts .

I t s effects upon the human body have been known for quite some time, but how it accomplishes Its tasks Has remained a mystery. I t was known tha t a lack of vitamin C In the diet of humans resulted in scurvy and fo rms of malnutrit ion.

In explanation of the significance of his discovery, Professor King said " t h a t It Is one more step In under-s tanding the chemical reactions which character izes normal processes of liv-

Just How New Yorker Happened to Be "Let In"

John Stewart Bryan, himself a Vir-ginian, tells of a man from Charles-ton. S. C . who returned home f r o m a visit to New York. Somebody asked him now he enjoyed himself and Ihe colonel sa id : "F ine ! We had a great dinner at Pelmonlco's. Colonel Ravi*-nell was t he re ; Major Elliott f r o m Columbia was t he re ; tiiree of t h e Screvens came from Savannah, and the re was General Breckenridge f rom Kentucky and Beverly Randolph f rom Virginia."

"That made eight, with you?" "No, there were nine. Oh, y e s ;

there was a fellow from New York there ."

"How did he get In?" "Oh." said the colonel, "he was giv-

ing the dinner!"—Boston Globe.

THE pinch of national economy prompted Senator Pat Harr ison of

Mississippi, ranking Democrat on the finance committee, to issue a dec-laration against full payment of the vet-erans ' bonus certifi-cates. C i t i n g the $2,000,000,000 deficit in prospect fo r the gov-ernment this year and the pending bill to raise new taxes, the senator in a letter to veterans of his s ta te sa id :

"I regret that exist-ing conditions impel me, in the Interest of the country, to oppose the legislation a t this time."

The stand taken by Senator Harr i -son, coupled with the known view of other senate leaders. Is believed to doom any prospect of enactment into law of the bonus payment measure.

In his s ta tement the Democratic financial leader of the senate pointed out tha t $1,000,000,000 of the $4,000,-000,000 government budget now goes to the relief of war veterans.

There^s Only One Real Place To Fly Kites,.

In An Open Field!

Johnny Brown found that out last year. He had spent hours building Vis kite only to lose it when he tried to send it up from the street.

No more of that for Johnny! His mother suggested an open field, away from all buildings and electric wires. She knew he would be safe from accidents there and could indulge in his favorite sport to his heart's content.

'Course Johnny knew that the Trouble Man from the Indiana & Michigan Electric Company would recover his kite for him if it became entangled in the electric wires, but bet your life he wasn't going to have his kites all torn up taking chances!

Also Johnny never uses wire in his kite-flying equip-ment. We urge all of our young friends to follow Johnny }s example.
