ONE bloc there apparently is considerable rqpentment at the majority leader's first statement denying the possibility of immediate beer. Although these ardent anti-pro-hibitioqist* are talking of “beer-by-Christinas,’’ all concerned realize that is; merely a figure of speech. It is, however, a possibility before March 4 and in forcing Rainey to cnncedi? that state of affairs, the beer bloc has won its first house victory.’ With; Rainey now conceding the possibijty of legal beer by March 4. practically every Democratic congressional leader is aligned for the project. Some Democrats still are reluctant to follow the party platform a(l the way. Senator Ashurst, Dem.. Artz. in announcing his abandonment of prohibition this week, jimited his allegiance exclusiveti to repeal of the 18th amendmeiit.» He made no mention of the partv pledge for immediate modificptipn of the Volstead act. Ashubsf is senior Democratic membejr of the senate judiciary commit|eA in which any repeal resolution or Volstead modification wattM be considered. Last; venter he was appointed on a suit-committee which was to consider "several anti-prohibition Ashurst refused even to attegnk the subcommittee meetings. explained at that time that ha had no time to waste on such pt-ofl'i’ts. Senator- Fess, Itcpn., 0., long a stalw irt of Anti-Sa'oon lx>ague| policies. has revealed a nioditicfctjbn of his own position. He informed questionners at his office (hit he believed there was no real obstacle at the short sens ion of'congress to submission of the repeal question. He said he would Vote for submission, but in bis tiwln slate would work to defeat ratification of a resolution abandoning prohibition. Fess iv oppose ! to modification ol the Volstead act and does not be lieve the .short session will tamper with it. hut he concedes that an extra Session of the new congress quick’}? would legalize beer anti wine. H any charge is to be mark in the J»th amendment, Fess would (‘refer something along the lines of the ’Republican platform which retained for congress authority over t(e sale, and manufacture ot intoxicating beverages. "That is a constructive propos al." Fees said. He interpreted the election as ti mandate of congress to permit tin people to vole their preference oil the amendment. • o Final Notice This is my last wanning to yon t< redeem your witches aaid clock; or I will be obliged to close up am sell them at once.

CHAPTER XLIV Everybody seemed to be in the hotel lobby. John Wynne busy explaining the game to Pidge's father and Barb’s dad Ted smiled; it was the first football game his father had ever seen but that wouldn’t hinder a man who had long been an expert on the subject. Pidge's mother was being charmingly solicitous about Mrs. Wynne. Barb and Phyllis still dissecting each other after an afternoon of such engrossing sport. "Ah,” said Phyllis, “the heroes approach." Ted Wynne looked into many eyes that evening; eyes which had once seen in him only a steel mil! boy but now recognized the allAmerican quarterback Phyllis' were enticing; Barb's amazed—faintly worried. Ted took a keen, satisfying delight in parading his parents about the hotel, introducing them to the catnp followers of glory It was their night. If the allAmerican quarterback was a show, here were the authors; they would take back to the Valley a brilliant memory to light their fading days. His mother was fluttering and amazed John Wynne was awed by nobody. Later, when the women had gone to bed and the young ones had gone to dance, he went upstairs with Andrew Pidgin and told him all about his mill. And Andrew Pidgin listened Then they talked about their boys—and John Wynne admitted that there were now two great men in the Wynne family. Production slowed to almost zero at the Young Men's Study Association tn April The firm was getting ready to close its doors. James Pidgin. Esq., secretary, was cbuck-

Imp over a questionnaire sent out 1 by the Senior Ball Committee. “You’re putting in a lot of time : on that.” Ted commented. “I’ve got five questions answered. 1 I Take a look." Ted took a look: Q Can you suggest any enter- I taiiinient? A. An inteicollegikte debate and a trip through Maypole Hall. Q. State your preference in apparel. A. Rubber boots, shin guards, overalls and slickers. Q. Do you anticipate any difficulty in acquiring formal attire? A. I have been educated at New Dominion and have never adhered to the honor system in the past. i Q What date would you suggest and why? A. Saturday—my girl gets paid then Q Where should the ball be held’ A Between the thumb and forefinger. “Hot stuff, ain’t it’" “Hot stuff. Pidge Rut I’ve got something serious to talk about " “Shoot Serious stuff i« ntv dish " “Well.

"Ted, m some ways you're pretty smart—with my help—and in seme way’s you re awful damn dumb." “Right you are.” “All right. Now you’ve shoved me around here a lot in the last three years and now I’m going to do some shoving Sit down and write a letter like 1 tell you to; and if you don't I’m not promising who I might ask." "I believe you mean that. Pidge." “You better not take a chance, that’s all.” Senior Ball Week. , Four days of contentment with I the sweetest girl . . . Quiet little I dances in the country. . . . Dances after Glee Club . . . l ea dances . . . Track meet. .. . Baseball . . Show- . ing her the art gallery with Dr. Cavanaugh, his favorite professor. Stealing to the grotto after dark; , where candlelight flickered on the , lake. Walking among the trees, fingers intertwined, among the trees which stood there when Indians roamed j the campus. . . . Walking around t lake shore at sundown—when the buildings of Weyrick stood j against the red sky like Bagdad minarets. The hush of the log chapel at j twilight. ... It had been the first s college eighty years ago. . . . The s spot in the forest where he had n polished up “Man of Steel" among v trees and twigs and grass that never died. . . Showing her the r trees that leaned against the sky—j brushes left there by the Artist who n had painted the clouds. The gym with its smelly rooms 0 and vacant basketball courts; the . new stadium, monument to Barney g and his boys; dinner at Barney’s s home; a happy home. Driving in the moonlight; walk-

ing through the stars; the dome, the spires and the tall brick stack, sentinels ot dawn. Then the ball; brilliant, fervid, romantic, fantastic—each boy with the girl he loved best Each sweetheart the fairest; each boy the proudest. And all of it a setting for Rosalie—a different Rosalie than he had known; soft, quiet, wonderful with a pliant sweetness he had never imagined; beautiful as he had never thougly that even Rosalie might be beautiful, a spiritual beauty. On the last morning a farewell drive in the hour before dawn; Pidge driving quietly, a blonde head nesting on his shoulder. Peace. Rosalie’s little nose hunting the softest spot on his lapel; her eyes closed: like a baby smiling in het sleep He touched his lips gently to the loose strands of her hair “Happy, honey?" “Tired as that pale old moon," she breathed “But I don’t want it to end, Babv. I don’t want it to " “It’s never going to end. Rosie" She moved closer “If vou knew what it means to be here, Ted. so close to vou There’s nevei been anyone else; and so often you were far away “ “I couldn’t see. honey " “I’ve been so pioud of you here They like vou so much—and respert von Vntl’rr so sure ol vour sell now You-are a Man of Steel., Ted You thought you were Icav mg the mill but vou were tust go- • c tn." I"ve thought of that. Rosalie, -ince the beginning I’ve been blowing about in the convener having the impurities blown out, but that doesn t make steel, honey A stuff called manganese must be added and tl I'm a man of steel riuw you've made me that You supplied the manganese." “What it. Ted?”

sumption capacity appear almost 1 fantastic in retrospect. Mass Am- l erica surged back and forth in i ■peculation, in adulation of popu- 1 lar heroes like Coolidge and Lindberkh. in the unprecedented slam pede to Mr. Hoover and the equally massive rtamjede away from him within tour years Drys , reigned four years ago. Both presi- i dentiai candidates deserted them this year. The popular vote for Mr. Hoover :

“Just the truth about myself, sweetheart. You made me see things as they are.” She turned her lips up to be kissed The motor purred like the beating of a staunch heart. “And if I'm a man of steel, Rosie, you're a girl of gold .” She sighed and snuggled closer. “It’s just like a honeymoon " "Rosalie, did you know it’s tradition for a fellow to bring the girl to the ball whom he hopes to marry?" “It must be beautiful to remember” “And." tensely, "it’s tradition that somebody always gets married at the end of the ball." “That’s beautiful too." “Rosalie —look at me." Softly smouldering eyes. He kissed her reverently. ’’Rosalie—will you marry me?” She raised tremulous lips. Whis- , pered, “You know it.” i “Now?” I She trembled in his arms; clung I more closely. i “Frightened, honey?” I “You’re awful reckless, Ted" I “Never surer tn my life. This came out of the mill with me." t “Oh, it would be gloriously rot tnantic, Ted, to do it now while : we're feeling this way; spiritually J beautiful, like a poem." > "We can drive on up to Niles—t that's how its done.” r She lifted her fingers to her face - like a little, uncertain girl. Ted j had never seen this Rosalie. “Ted, honey—l want to; but we s must be sensible; our folks ” e “Would your mother object?” y “She adores you, Ted. I think s maybe she'd be thrilled; but " “Mv mother would love to have -a little girl, Rosie ” •• I I. - < _ 1 J •»

“A hat s sweet. 1 ed." “Well, Portia?” “I had always planned to do something when I got out, Ted, go on with my music " “We'll be in New York; we'll have enough money; you can go on as vou wish—as long as you canbaby.” She held him with strong young arms, kissed him softly. His eyes were wet. "It may never be so beautiful again, baby boy. It's got to be sometime I won’t stop it now.” “Hey, Pidge.” “Don't scare me like that," Pidge shouted. “Think we ought,to turn back?” ' Ted turned to Rosalie. “Think so?” “Go right ahead " “Did you hear what the lady said. Pidge?” “She said go right ahead.” “What she said, James, was drive on to Niles We i’ have breakfast there and wait until nine o’clock ” ’’ln these clothes?" “In these clothes. Then we get a hcen e “ “We get what?” “Then we get married” Pidge i.imined on eveiy brake he could find “My God. boy —you don't mean it " Rosalie's late was shining "tJr.c on. fames—and laterhome James " Feverish activity in the front seat The blonde head was catapulted back w.th flapping arms that embraced Rosalie m a tearful rite “It’s just too cute." the squealer squealed “Put er there, bov." Pidge thrust back his hand "Doggone Whoopee Climb back here Peaches. ' Let's go, car " Pidge gave her the gas—the mo tor and the girl THE END

this year was about 210,000 ntore| than Smith received four years, ago. Roosevelt received about 300,-1 000 more votes than Mr. 'Hoover! received four years ago. In 1928 Mr. Hoover lost only eight states. In 11,‘oi lie carried only six. Such mass shifts are beyond the control of proteeuiunal politicians and their doorbell ringing organizations, no matter how extensive. When mass America moves as it moved for Hoover in 1928 or away
