According to 1 these "basic indices" we are still ' submerged with no prospect of ‘ coming up for air—ami according 1 to these same indices, the economic ‘ prophets in 1929 declared that the present condition of the world could never happen. Our trouble is that \ 1 business is not guided so much by 1 indices as by emotion, the "feel in I the air.” ' Reliance on these guides can s blind the observer to entirely new 8 structures that are rising to sup- 1 port recovery. A new level of val- ' uses has been created, related to * 1?14, 1920. and 1929, but different 1 in some essentials from any pre- 1 vwus standards. Development to ' dftle has not progressed sufficiently ’ to permit their description and evaluation, but their presence is sensed if not seen. Our economic history repeats again and again that with the destruction of fictitious boom values, genuine worth is also 1 destroyed and must he replaced and 1 enlarged in the process of recovery.; Each depression, with its immense' devastation of wealth, has been [ quickly followed by creation of new real wealth that in a decade | overtopped the creature of inflation. Something like that is now happening. Unseen by the indices, new wealth is beginning to flow in- . to investment. Bank failures are at this writing negligible. There | are indications that credit will be available for business which can ■ use it advantageously. Increased[ employment will conn- gradually as I the new life works into the capi’-J Dries of trade and non-existent or frozen buying power comes into play. At this stage of the cycle, ] we seem still to be in the grip of what we called six months ago the vicious spiral, except thai. the spiral is now turning upward. It’s wholly illogical, we'll admit, but who can find any logic in the business course of 1923-1929. orl that of 1930-1932? We went up I, insanely, we came down out of control, and now without much direc- j tion or general knowledge of what l it’s all about, we appear to be seeking a new and higher ledge.

guided newspapers and advertisers who early this summer struck the first blows at the descending spiral by assuming public buying power lor proven values. The Idea of going after hoardeff* sums and bringing them to light by vigorous newspaper merchandise advertising has gone from coast to coast, with generally helpful effect. It has radically altered public psychology’ from that of last March, when there | seemed no end of trouble.

The men appointed to the Adams county tax adjustment board are all men of ability, far seeing, careful and wise, who will have in mind the very best interests of the people. They will of course insist on the tax being as near the required $1.50 as possible, but they will also, we are sure, recognize the fact that the rate must not be so low as to impair credit or prevent operation of the public's business. Their job is not an easy one. carries no renumeration, will require painstaking effort and the members should have the loyal support of good citizens. We believe they will and that their judgment will be taken as final. The campaign to be put on by i the Democrats in Adams county, will it is expected, open the latter part of September and continue to, election, about six weeks. The state committee advises a short and snappy campaign. In the meantime preliminaries will be arranged so that when the opening gun is fired, I everybody will be ready.

Cohan and Jimmy Durante. “The Phantom President” is Paramount's entry in the cycle of political comedies. The trio of girls all have their screen foliowings and have played important parts in talking pictures before. Kathryn Crawford, the brunette, graduated locally from a musical comedy. You'll remember her in Marie Dressier’s “Emma." Miss Compton matched her locks with Clara Bow's in “The Wild Party” for her first important role. More recently she appeared in George Bancroft’s “Lady and Gent.” Greta Granstedt is another discovered for the screen by the lynxeyed scouts who attend the local stage productions. She appeared in the film, "Street Scene.” The usher in charge of the “starters” at one of Hollywood’s recent stage openings was approached by a patron who complained that a woman’s constant applause was ruining the show. Checking up, the usher found she wasn’t on list of applause starters. So he challenged her. “Young man,” she snapped, "if I can help it, this show is going to be a success. I run a boarding house and these actors owe me money!” On the “I'm a Fugitive” set at Warners a Georgian gives technical advice on prison camps and realism to the atmosphere moo. He keeps out of camera range. The reason he gives is that theextras used in the foreground in the early part of the picture are weeded out for variety later on and jobs are scarce. He’s escaped seven times from road camps and can slip off the

SYNOPSIS Lovely, yonng Patricia Braithwait agrees to marry wealthy, middle-aged Harvey Blaine because the father she adores is in financial straits. She hopes, however, that handsome Jack Laurence, a young camper whom she only met once—and the only man she ever wanted to kiss her—will rescue her from Blaine. When Jack fails to appear, she turns, in desperation, to Jimmie Warren, her Aunt Pamela's fascinating husband. They become infatuated and Pat breaks her engagement. Aunt Pam is suspicious hut blames herself for warning Pat that love fades, inferring that her marriage to Jimmie had failed. Feeling that Pam no longer cares, Jimmie and Pat see no wrong in their “love”. Then Jack appears, but Pat tells him he is too late—the emotion he awakened, blossomed to love under another's kiss. Jack, claiming he is the one Pat really cares for. refuses to give up. and the next day moves to her hotel. Jimmie avoids Pat because her father placed her in Pamela's and his eare, and honor prevents him from making love to her. The contest between Jack and Jimmie for Pat's love is on. Pamela looks on in painful amazement, realizing she still loves her husband. She notes the guilty look of relief on Jimmie's face when she tells him Pat wants to leave their home and return to the hotel. That night at the masquerade. Pam feigns gaiety though her heart is breaking. Pat's attention is drawn to the fascinating and retiring Mrs. Brownley, another guest. CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO In a leap of admiration Patricia noticed the perfect beauty of her hands. (One always noticed Mrs. Brownley’s hands at once.) In a very brief space Patricia noticed many things about the woman. Things seen all at once that first day. Now noted anew and with curious emphasis. Light brown hair. Hazel eyes. A very fair complexion. Face rather square; but softly, femininely so. A fine nose, a mouth a little wide, but very sweet. She was shorter than Patricia and her form, like her face, was rather square. But it was also softly rounded and gave neither the impression of stockiness nor flesh. A very finished and lovely woman, nearing thirty. She had been in the hotel but a week, seemed to have no friends nor acquaintances, nor to desire any; always wore sand color, which should have effaced her own pale coloring, but oddly did not. Someone had taken the trouble to discover her name, but all spoke of her as The Lady in Sand. Some thought she was a wealthy widow from one of the Southern states; others said she was “kept” by some man. Nobody knew anything. It was strange, Patricia thought, that she should cause so much speculation in a hotel where so many came and went without notiee. Certainly she was not flashy, nor obtrusive. Nor even beautiful in the strict sense — merely exquisite, poignant in her calm colorlessness. Patricia thought again of the desert—pale fire; alluring, drawing one by its aloofness and mystery and still, wan charm; softly calling one—to the cruelty and death it harbors. She smiled in self-derision at the absurd flight of her fancy. “I wonder why people surmise so many unkind things about that woman ainee they don’t know anything?” whispered Patricia. “What woman?” inquired Jack. "Why, Mrs. Brownley.” “Don’t know her.” “The woman in sand in the Palm Room.” “Haven’t noticed her. I have ample occupation for my eye*, beside me," Jack grinned. Oh, he is nice ... I wish it were he , . . Dadums would like it bet-

ter . . . and there are complications about a married man. . . Sophistication and naivete were curiously intermingled in Patricia’s conception of her situation. She had no thought of betraying Pamela's confidence. Jimmie’s marriage had "gone to pot” He and Aunt Pam had fallen out of love — she and Jimmie had fallen in love There was but one thing to do — divorce, and a new marriage for each of them. The following morning the Warrens moved over to the hotel and the game between two women, and three men, began without ostentation on the part of four of them. Arthur Savage, however, half Latin. madly in love with Patricia, and at no pains to hide his furious hate of Warren in particular, filled Pamela with apprehension. She doubted that his black-browed lovemaking could move Pat, and feared his defeat might revenge itself on Jimmie. She had not wired Mr. Braithwait of Patricia's revolt, because to have brought him back precipitously after Patricia's sudden return to the hotel would simply have advertised the whole situation. The girl’s move in itself would have caused a great deal of surmise and talk, had Pamela not quietly taken the reins by choosing this time for redecorating her villa Thus she had kept her faith with Patricia's father as far as possible, and saved her own pride for the moment. But it had been only for the moment. Patricia now openly appropriated Jimmie, and he openly allowed himself to be appropriated. This, in spite of the fact that Jack Laurence was constantly with her; also Arthur Savage, whenever he could edge Jimmie out. Jack did not edge out for either Jimmie or Arthur. Without appearing to force himself into the situation, he was simply there. If Pat called to Jimmie. Jack calmly remained at her side. If Jimmie caught her alone and sat down beside her. or stood talking with her, Jack would stroll up casually, and in a little while the three would go away together, to swim, .or walk, or, perhaps, just to sit on the beach. Realising how mixed, if not absurd. was his own psychology, Warren continued to hold himself "honor bound” until Patricia’s father’s return. But he was determined not to relinquish her to Laurence, toward whom his hate mounted in proportion to his mounting passion.
