YOU can easily control the depth at which you plant when you use a McCormickDeering Beet Drill. The new adjustable depth bands assure positive control and can be changed without removing the disks. There are five adjustments between one and two inches — obtained by increasing or decreasing the diameters of the depth band by means of cam-faced spreader blocks. Accuracy of seeding is assured with the McCormickDeering by the internal, adjustable, non-clogging, double-run

I Here are the rule changes: [ (ll The 10-second rule will be applied to all courts, regardless of j size. On courts 75 feet or more . lin length the center line is man- i datory. On courts of less than 74 ! 1 feet two lines may be used, so that ’ [ the offensive half of the court is ■ [4O feet. Where this 40-foot line! ■ encroaches within the foul line on I [ exceptionally small courts, it was ■ decided, the prolongation of the foul line will mark the 10-second line. (2) Only the first player to receive the ball in the offensive zone ; may pass the ball back over the | center line. (3) Officials must handle the [ I hall, placing it on the floor, in out- | ol bounds play, to prevent quick I action returns. (41 The three-second rule, which! had applied only to players in the i tree-throw area receiving the ball ! with their "backs to the basket.”] applies now Io players receiving [ in the area regardless of position j of the body. i (5) A player may re-enter the 1 game twice. ] (6) A ball on the baskets rim j may be batted in providing no part ; : of the basket is touched. (6) Points covering legal and' illegal running with the ball are defined in detail. (71 Where games are played in quarters — usually high schools — | the second and fourth periods will I not start from the center tap. but I will be resumed from out of bounds 1 nearest the point where play ceasI ed and with the ball in possession I of the team last in control. 0 Sox Win Series Chicago, April 10.

"MARY FAITH" I b y Beatrice Burton COPYRIGHT, 1931, BY KIH6 FEATURES SYNDICATE, IHC.

SYNOPSIS Mary Faith, young and comely orphan, is secretary to Mark Nesbit, wealthy young business man. She informs Mark that she is leaving her ' position to marry Kimberley Farrell, , handsome ycung lawyer, to whom ' she has been engaged for some time. Invited to Kim's house for dinner, Mary Faith is greeted coldly by his ‘ mother. Later, Kim startles Mary Faith by breaking his engagement and asking for the ring. The next morning, Mary Faith informs her co-workers that she is not to be married. She asks them to take back [ their presents. After working late, [ Mark Nesbit takes Mary Faith to ■ dinner and home to her boarding house in his car. Slowly Mary Faith 1 learns to live her life without Kim. When Mark Nesbit injures his ankle, Mary Faith is driven to his country home to take dictation. She meets his mother and enjoys the charming home life of the Nesbits. Jean Bartlett, Mary Faiths office friend, ' laughingly tells her she should marry Mark Nesbit. CHAPTER XI “I may go down to the office tomorrow,” he told her at the end of the afternoon. “1 can get around pretty well now with a cane; and i'd like to be on the job just now at the close of the year.” Mary Faith shook her head. “Oh. 1 think you ought to wait for a few days before you try it. Mr. Nesbit. The stairs in the building are so steep and the floors are so slippery.” But the next morning When she got down to the office there was a light burning behind the frostedglass pane in his door. “Great Galusha's back on the job this morning. Miss Fenton,” Stanley Odeskalki told her, looking up from the typewriter that he was oiling. “Gee. if I was my own boss, the way he is. 1 bet I wouldn't come down to work on a cane! I'd stay home for another month.” At half past nine exactly the buz- ' zer on Mary Faith’s desk sounded. She got up and carried the morning mail into Mark Nesbit’s office, just as she had carried it in to him at half past nine every morning for I years. It was on the tip of her tongue to say to him: “Well, you made it, I see! But you know you ought to have stayed at. home." All she did say. however, was “Good morning, Mr. Nesbit,” just as she had always said it, in a polite : office-voice. “Good morning, Mary Faith." He smiled at her gravely as he picked up one of the envelopes that she laid before him on the desk. “Will you please ask Bassett to come up here 1 lit t€ii hliitUiti i Everything was just as it always had been. Like magic both of them clicked back into the well-oiled office machinery of the Nesbit Mercantile Company. And yet there was a difference. I That noon he came limping into her office and stood beside her desk. He had on his overcoat and his hat and briei-case were in his hand. “Good-bye. Mary Faith.” he said. “Don't work late. Remember it’s Saturday. . . . I’m going to mi»« you at lunch today. We've had some pretty good talks the last couple of weeks, haven’t we?” "Haven't we!” Mary Faith's face flushed with pleasure. “These two weeks have been a holiday for me; but they couldn't have been so very grand for you, shut up in one room most of the time.” She pushed hack her chair and got tip as he turned to go “I'm going to go down to your rar with you. if you don't mind.” she said. “First thing you know your ! cane will slip on this floor and you'll be back in the wheel chair lor anI other two weeki.”

10 a. m. yesterday after considering the ease from 12:40 p. m. Saturday. Three ballots were taken. On the first all 12 jurors voted for a verdict of guilty. A second ballot was taken to determine the penalty as provided under Alabama law. One juror held out for life imprisonment. When the third ballot was taken the jury was. unanimous in demanding death. Thirty members of the national guard protected the courtroom when the jury reported. Patter

Side by side they crossed the office and got into the elevator. Down in the street the big, plum-colored lint- ■ ousine waited. As Mark Nesbit paused beside it, with his foot on the step, he half turned and held one of Mary Faith’s hands tightly in his for a second. “You 'mother' me, don't you, Mary Faith?” he asked, his head bent over hers. “And, do you know, 1 like it I 1 do. I think it’s fine.” “Great hulligan, but you and the boss are getting to be clubby I” Jean Bartlett remarked when she walked into the office two or three minutes afterward. “If this keeps up you'll soon be forgetting Handsome's nailed-down nair and built-up shoulders 1“ Late that afternoon when Mary Faith got home there was a long florisis box for her lying on the table in the hall. "A colored chauffeur—in livery, if you please—brought it here about one o’clock.” Mrs. Puckett told her. coming out of the parlor. “There’s roses and narcissus in it, by the smell. ... I never have been able to abide the smell of narcissus since Mr. P.’s funeral." But she stood close by, watching, while Mary Faith opened the box and lifted out the pink roses and starry white narcissus that lay in it. “There's a card with them. Mary Faith!” she said. “The car was a dark purplish-red one—kind of a plum color. I told Mr. McClintock and Mr. Vining that J bet it was your Mr. Nesbit’s car.” Mary Faith knew that the flowers were from Mark Nesbit before she drew his card out of the envelope that had been tucked among them. Who else would be sending flowers to her? Mrs. Puckett read the card over her shoulder. “Hmm—he did send them. Well, this begins to look serious, Mary Faith.” “Nonsense, Mrs. Puckett!” Mary Faith said sensibly. “This is just hi# way of saying ‘thanks' for all the extra work I’ve done for him the last couple of weeks.” Mrs. Puckett sniffed and shrugged her shoulders. “You've done lots of extra work for him long before now, and he never sent you flowers," she pointed out "And 1 know that I've done lots of extra work for men folks in my lifetime, too, but not one of them ever sent me a whole box of roses, or even a simple dandelion! He’s been lending you books, too. I've seen them up in your room w>th his name written in them. . . . You mark my words, Mary Faith, he means business!” That was on Saturday. At half past four on the next Friday afternoon. Mark Nesbit came into Mary Faith's little office and sat down on the corner of her desk. “Mary Faith, do you know what a dinner ring is?" he asked, lighting a cigarette She said that she did. “It's a large ring that women wear on their little finger. It's usually made of platinum or white gold and is set with diamonds. 1 believe. It's a very special kind of ring.” “Well. Judy wants one for Christmas. She says some of her buddies at school have them. But. gosh, wouldn’t it be too elaborate for her?" “She’s only fifteen, isn’t she?" ■ mused Mary Faith. She had not , seen Judy Nesbit, who was the baby of the family, for three years, and she remembered her at a simple child's party with long slim legs and the comical-sweet face of a pansy. “It seems to me she's pretty young for diamonds. But you must get her some kind of a ring. . You know, when you've set your hear* on a certain thing it's very disappointing not to get it on Christmas morning.” “That's true.” He nodded and got up from (he corner of the desk.

; son lolled in his chair, smoking a I cigarette in the 40 minutes before , [judge Horton arrived from Athens ' ho receive the verdict. He show-, i ed no emotion. Leibowitz, while bitter in his j • denunciation of the verdict, prais- 1 j ed Judge Horton's conduct of the I | case. [ “I am taking back to New York ] ■ with me a picture of one of the | [ finest jurists 1 have ever met,” : Leibowitz told the judge iinnuui [ lately after the formalities were I over. “I am sorry I cannot say as

"Well, will you help me pick out a ring for her then.? I'll get my car out of the parking space and meet vou downstairs in five minutes. Outside it was cold and crisp and snowy—perfect holiday weather. By the time Mark Nesbit's car had nosed its way into the crowded shopping district the streets were filled with sapphire dusk and red-and-green festoons of light were shining in the shop windows. The car was held up for two or three minutes in the traffic at the corner of Spring Street and, Sixth. That corner had once been a place of enchantment for Mary Faith because it was there that she had always waited for Kim when she had an engagement with him. On the next corner stood the City Bank building where he worked. She found herself looking uo at the lighted windows of Mcintrae and Westover on the fifth floor . . , Kim was probably up there now, winding up his day’s work in the offices where he had met that Janet-girl of his. . . . “1 think we’ll go to Armbruster’s for the ring ” Mark Nesbit was saying as he swung his car into the yawning doorway of the Spring Street Garage. “1 have a charge account there, haven’t 1. Mary Faith?” There were no holly wreaths, ne red-and-green lights, in the windows of Armbruster’s jewelry store. For Armbruster’s prided itself on its exclusiveness and its old-fashioned dig- [ nity. It was the oldest store on Spring Street It never advertised in the newspapers and it never nir.de [ any holiday display. “Sometimes 1 bring my wristwatch in here to have it regulated." [ Mary Faith said as they stepped inside. “And just to walk into the place . makes me feel like the Queen of I Siam." A salesman in a frock coat and a high wing collar came up to them bowing, as Mary Faith said to her 1 self, scraping. He led them halfway 1 down the center aisle and laid two ‘ trays full of glittering rings on the : showcase in front of them. “Don't you think an aquamarine I would be nice for Judy. Mr. Nesbit? f Or a white-gold signet ring with . just one or two little diamonds set t in it, perhaps?” asked Mary Faith. ! She had a sudden, uneasv feeling i that someone was watching her. She t half turned away from the showt case to look about her—and there, I not ten feet from her, stood Kim '• Farrelll 1 Kim was leaning over the counter, t holding two mesh bags in his bands. c Beside him stood a girl whom Mary Faith could not see. He was not looking at the me-h - bags or at the girl. His eyes were e on Mary Faith's eves: and as she j watched him he laid the bag* down :. upon the showcase and came toward t her. ? “Hello.” he said and held out his hand. e “Hello, yourself.” Mary Faith e never knew how she managed to say - those two words in that cheerful, h offhand way. She did not touch his !• hand. "How are you these days. Mary . Faith?” s “Oh. I’m all right. I jog along," she answered. With an effort she turned her head away from him, then »» turned her whole body away. . “Don’t you think an aquamarine ’ would be just the thing?" she asked d Mark Nesbit again, without clearly knowing what she said. They finally decided on one. A small square one set in a circle of ' seed pearls. They waited while it f was put into a white velvet box and t wrapped up in white-and-silver [; paper. 4 (To Re Continued) , Copyright, 19.11. by Booerieo Borton murlbuled by L ' King Feature!
