The senatorial race for the Democratic nomination for United States senator in Indiana looks like an old fashioned contest. With two avowed candidates and a dozen other I being mentioned, there is no end to the list of entries and it may result In one or mor® from every district ut the post when the start- | ing flag is waved the morning of . the convention. — All set for the President’s birthday party tomorrow evening at the Decatur Country Club. N. R. Holthouse, county chairman for the celebration, has worked hard and has been ably assisted. Everything is ready for an event that will be successful in every way. There will be dancing, a floor show and , plenty of entertainment for every one, regardless of their preference. The profits will go to the Warm Springs, Georgia, Foundation, a cause which is annually restoring hundreds who have suffered from infantile paralysis. What greater cause should we further. The efforts apparently being made by some of the news reporters to make heroes out of the Dillinger gangsters is silly. These men are killers and the women with them no better or they wouldn't be there. They have disregarded the laws, have ruthlessly robbed and slain, have committed about every crime on the calendar and they ought to be punished accordingly and swiftly. Telling about how innocent they were in youth means little now. when they I boast of their crimes and belittle*] th officials whom they stood oft with machine gnus acd sawed-off shotguns. Charles Makley, one of the dos-1 peradoes now under arrest at Tu-! scon. Arizona, was a native of St. j Mary's, Ohio, and of good parentage. Deliberately he chose a life I j of crime because he figured, according to his owu story, that would be easier than working. His punishment should be just as deliberate. He and his gang have shown no mercy for others. None should be shown them. He seems to be especially pleased that he could go hack home and get away with a bank hold-up. He is the man who!" held up the Linn Grove bank a few I years ago and was sentenced to prison from here. COURTHOUSE New Case George E. Wemhoff et al vs. Vida V.

SYNOPSIS After three years in Europe. | I lovely Stanley Paige, young society 1 girl, returns to New York. She, phones Perry Dcverest, who had been madly in love with her before | she was rushed abroad following her father's death. Stanley, how-1 ever, was not so sure of her heart , at the time. Perry realizes, afteri seeing Stanley again, that he is still in love "with her but steels himself against committing himself until his love is reciprocated. Stanley. on her ow n as long as she could remember, was never sure of what she wanted in life. Perry takes her to Nigel Stern's studio party. CHAPTER THREE “Go down Fifth,” Stanley told him, once they were in his car, “and drive slower than slow. I want to .feel it—you know, sort of breathe in it. 1 love it at night like this — all deserted and quiet and sort of waiting.” She laughed huskily. “Heavens, Perry, I’m going emotional on you!” “I’d much prefer your going emotional about me. Any chance of that, Stan?” She squeezed his arm with a friendly little gesture. “I like you a lot, Perry—” “You mean I'm nice to have around but not exactly vital to your happiness.” “Not exactly.” They both laughed. Stanley, because she was amused, and Perry because she expected him to be. He reminded himself again as he slowed for a red light that he would wade into any affair with Stanley — not dive from any emotional springboard. Comfortably unintuitive about most things, Perry realized in some dim way that Stanley had never been touched by passion. That neither he nor anyone else had any adequate idea of her emotional potentialities. He rather imagined that they might be rather tremendous once awakened. He had failed to awaken them once. He had no good reason for believing he would succeed now. Therefore, he intended to be not too badly hurt if he failed. He felt that in any love-affair he might have wita Stanley discretion was obviously the better part of enthusiasm. As they rode slowly downtown through a mildly caressing spring night Stanley was not thinking at all. She was feeling. She was feeling very young and a little excited and delightfully contented. She was glad she was riding down Fifth Avenue with Perry at midnight. She was utterly relaxed and yet pleasantly exhilarated. She wondered vaguely if she had had too much champagne and decided she wouldn’t drink any more that night. She thought girls who drank too much were stupid. Too much liquor took the edge off things, A little was all right. But as far as she was concerned she didn't need any. She had only drunk tonight to be J friendly and to sort of celebrate. She’d probably have a head in the morning. If she did, she’d swear off. I She hated the thought of an early morning hangover—was quite sure nothing was worth it. By the time they had reached Stem’s apartment house, she had decided quite definitely not to drink I any more until she was thirty. By I that time probably everything that was going to happen to her would have happened. There was something a little frightening in this thought. For a second she wondered rather wildly which was worse —never to have had anything happen to you or to have had everything? Before she could decide Perry had parked the car and was waiting for her to get out. Nigel Stem’s studio-apartment was on the top floor of a house on i West Twelfth Street. Practically i the entire floor had been thrown ' into one enormous room and to-

night it was filled with the pungent smell of a wood fire, much cigarette smoke and far too many people; they stood about in groups and sprawled on low divans and cluttered up the place with their laughter and their noise and their various accents and perfumes, “Heavens, Perry—what a lot of people!" Stanley paused just inside the door. She didn’t like crowds. She liked to take her people one by one, not all jumbled together like so many goldfish in a bowl. “Don't let that trouble you — you’ll never see half of them again. There are a few here I want you to know. You'll like Nigel—he's probably in the pantry shaking up mors drinks. That’s Dennis St John over there by the piano. She’s clever. Makes a swell living doing magazine covers. The girl in green—see her?” Perry indicated a tall, absurdly thin girl with magnificent red hair and curiously shaped eyes. “Lovely, isn’t she?" Stanley spoke nervously, perfunctorily. For some reason entirely unassociated with the girl in green she felt suddenly disturbed. Some sort of a dull undercurrent of excitement seemed to be reaching out. pulling at her. She lifted her chin a trifle defensively, her eyes searching the room apprehensively. She knew in some inexplicable way that she w r as being stared at — not casually or even curiously — but intently and brazenly, with a sort of audacious insolence. Her eyes moved restlessly, halted abruptly, widened slowly, almost painfully. Tall, he was, this dark young man who was staring at her from across that crowded room, and erect of shoulder and ridiculously slim waisted. An arrogant young man, with a defiant, jutting chin and a crest of hair as black and shining as a crows wing. Fearfully demanding and snatching his eyes were—and there was a bright stain of color beneath the dark planes of his cheeks. His mouth was red too, and looked as if it had kissed many women and found the experience entirely to its liking. She stood quite still and returned his stare, aware that there was laughter in his eyes and ruthlessness and a certain pleased astonishment; aware that somehow they contrived to be. at once coolly possessive and rather tenderly contrite; it was as if they said to her
