If the special session is going to do it, they will have to move rapidly the next seventy-two hours. Here we have all been saved and I.ever knew it until President Hoover admitted it in his speech of acceptance. The President doesn't hate himself a bit. He used the pronoun “I” seventy-seven times and “my” just about as often. "Hoover's new stand on prohibition disappointing to drys,” says a headline. And we don’t presume the wets are over jubilant over it. The next big act of the political show will be at Columbus, Ohio, on the 20th when Governor Roosevelt will give the feature performance. It will soon be going good. Not to change the subject but have you noticed the way the Cubs have settled down to business since Roger Hornsby, one of the greatest ball p ayers in the big league, was disposed as manager? Perhaps it was a wise move. Members of the legislature intend to put in the entire forty days it seems as they are making special order of business for Monday which is the concluding day. Wonder why a legislature is never ready to quit. Governor Roosevelt will withhold his opinion regarding the removal of Mayor Walker until after the court has decided whether he has such authority or not. Not so dumb as some of the writers would have us believe. Truth is he gives signs of being the smartest leader of modern times. State road No. 27 from this city north is being resurfaced and when complete will be a tine improvement.

cashier in a bank and feels that some one else should draw the SI,OOO of public money. The tough part about ft is that Lucas Is a Democrat and the council is Re- ' publican. That's helping out on the unemployment proposition in a new way. There is a persistent rumor that , Governor Leslie Intends to call another special session of the legislature. Evidently if he does that he has his mind made up to give them enough of it with the hope they will evidently quit stalling and get down to business but he should remember that all the time the public is getting the worst of such a deal. Mr. Hoover saved until the very least of his acceptance speech his remarks concerning the prohibition question, which has become so important during the past few years. He admitted ft was no long era "noble experiment." He tried his best to attack the Democrats on their position but appealed to the wet vote by largely endorsing their position. He made no reference to the “two cars in every garage and a chicken for every pot,” but he did his best and it seemed to satisfy the faithful who had hopefully gathered. Complaints continue to come from all over the state concerning the $1.50 tax limit law and when we get to trying to work under it, there will be plenty of dissatisfaction. Its popular to say that every salary and every expense ought to be cut in two but try to do it. Before long it will effect you in some way and then it won't seem nearly so good. We must pay our bonds, we must pay the officials, we must meet expenses and we ought not to back up too far. We presume ii will all work out in some wayhut its going to be tough going in the meantime. Mr. Hoover made a very good speech for what he had to work on. He spoke as a good American should with hope for the future aud pride in the fact that we have come through the depression better than any other nation. He attacked his Democratic opponents somewhat earnestly but failed to give them credit for the great aid | given in those efforts which they felt would be helpful. It must be remembered that the house of congress is Democratic and without the aid of members of that party he could ha»e accomplished nothing. The pronoun “we” could certainly have been used occasionally in his resume. _ o * RADIO PROGRAM *i • • l Saturday’s 5 Best Radio Features , Copyright 1932 by UP.

ing-room are five . different kinds of windows: a , French window that opens in, anI other that opens out; two sets of ' casement windows similarly ar-: ranged; and finally a window that raises and lowers. Then there are seven different types of doors, including: portieres, double sliding doors, swinging doors, etc. Placed in the set are 15 types of sofas and chairs, offering every height and design. Completing this unusual room are 3C small hand props, such as ashtrays. books, match boxes, lighters, telephones, etc. Under Mr. Walker’s system, the student actors are cast in a play, which they rehearse and perform. Only there are never any spectators. Last week, the comedy “Candlelight” was the chosen lesson. At present, the director has eight i pupils. They are Frances Dee, Randolph Scott, Kent Taylor, Cary Grant, Sari Maritza, Adrienne Ames, Claire Dodd and Florine McKinney.

SYNOPSIS Life to lovely Patricia Braithwait was a series of parties, trips abroad and now—Palm Beach. Her castles crumble when her Aunt Pamela informs her that Mr. Braithwait’s fortune is depleted and suggests that Pat marry the wealthy, middleaged Harvey Blaine to insure her own and her father’s future, warning her that love fades. Aunt Pam's marriage with Jimmie Warren—handsome, young lawyer—was beginning to pall in spite of the ardent love they had had for each other. They still cared but the routine of married life had made them “less lovers and more friends”. Stunned by her aunt's revelations, Pat is seriously considering Blaine to save the father she adores, when she meets a fascinating young camper, who only reveals his first name. Jack. Despite their instant attraction for one another, Pat discourages future meetings. That night, Pam cautions Blaine to be matter-of-fact and not sentimental in trying to win Pat. stressing the point that his one advantage is the fact that Pat is desperately hard up and worships her father, who lives for Pat alone. Pat decides to have a heart-to-heart talk with her father. CHAPTER EIGHT “Here’s a nice place to sit.” Heart pounding in hammer blows, Patricia made room for her father on a log washed up by the tide. “I want to have a serious confab with you about going home,” she said gaily. “I’m fed up with Palm Beach.” Her face burned. For the first time in her life she was not dealing openly with him. “Oh, God of all loveliness, don't let it be true!” she prayed. The old man considered. Naturally he had no intention of taking her to her devastated home. It might be said he had no intention in any direction other than to keep heartbreak and ugliness from his child, waiting upon a more mature understanding to help her when the time came that she must know. Money, as money, had never figured largely in his consciousness. He had had very little in years—the largest sum at any one time being that received for the fumi’ure. Substance had a larger imporance in his mind than exchange. Xnd substance had been his, always, in so far as he had need, however small the exchange in hand. And there had been enough of that when urgently needed. Even now. there were ways—his life insurance, paid up and never touched. This, however, was to be thought of only as a final and desperate resort, since it was Patricia’s. But at least it could be thought of. For himself there would be enough of the land as long as he lived. Pamela’s conclusion that he had brought Patricia here with an idea of displaying her in a fashionable marriage market had never entered his head. He was merely giving her what he had always given her —the advantages of beauty. Without thinking of it, he had known she would marry a man of wealth. Not for his wealth; but because she had had contacts with no others. W hen, he did not question. In God’s good time. Not sooner. Not later. Seeing her father’s evident perturbation, Patricia’s heart strained in her bosom. A terrible sickness swept her. “I ve been thinking for some time of talking to you about home,” he said meditatively. “Things have arisen while you’ve been away that I didn’t want to trouble you with.” "Have you been keeping secrets from me. Dadums?” she demanded with a brilliant smile. Inwardly she prayed: “Dear God, don’t let it be true.” “N o. Merely delaying confi-

dences.” "Well, that's a good alibi. Maybe I'll use it if ever one of my secrets should find me out.” “The fact is,” he went on, “the house became utnafe, due to the caving, and I had to have it taken down.” Patricia busied herself ov e r a sandspur caught on her skirt. “Oh. God, stand by.” Aloud: “When did this happen?” “About two years ago.” “But where did you live while I was in school?” ‘'l built a house farther back.” Her heart sang. Then it was not so bad as Aunt Pam thought. "I might have known God couldn’t be so cruel.” “The house, however, is rather small,” Mr. Braithwait continued. “Hardly the place to take a young lady who must have space for house parties and the like.” Oh God—Dear good« God—standd —stand by. Stand by! It was as if she had been lifted high in an elevator on rotten cables that had suddenly given way, and she was dashing down to death. “So I thought we wouldn’t return,” her father was saying. “It would cost considerable to enlarge the house sufficiently. And a plantation is a dull place for a girl. We could take an apartment somewhere in the vicinity of New York for the coming summer Next winter your cousin Pamela plans to bring you out and I shall return to the plantation to look after things. It is unlikely that you will care to return after a winter in New York, and it may be that I can arrange my affairs so we can go abroad. A year in Paris ” “Economical,” thought Patricia, miserably. “Or more likely a stall. He hasn’t been square with me. My Dadums hasn't been square with me and he’s covering now. But he did it to save m* hurt. Always everything for my happiness.” Paris is the usual thing,” Mr. Braithwait was saying. “Unless, of course, some gay young dog steals you from me in the meantime,” he finished with a smile. Ah! He too expects that salvation, . Only he doesn't put it up to me as Aunt Pam did. . . . Well, that s that. I had to be sure. . . . Oh, but I'm so beastly selfish!
