Donetta awoke from a restless sleep with her brain fully an foggy as the day, but her inner self flooded with light and gaiety. Gerry awoke with her mind too clear almost painfully alert and bright, but her spirits were draped m a fog far more somber than that which overhung the city. The two girls turned, each upon nor separate couch and long* green eyes looked into bright, hard, blue ones. "Well," Gerry broke the silence, so you re going to desert your old pal, going to break up the sister act.

and leave little Gerry out in a cruel world on her own?” “Don’t be silly, Gerry darling,” Donetta’s voice was soft. “You know I would never leave you alone.” , . "Hey, hey!” said Gerry, "don t tell me you expect to take me on your honeymoon?’ “You can scoff all you want to," Donetta told her, “but we had planned just that. Schuyler said—” “Oh! You and your ‘we’s’ and your ‘Schuylers’.” Gerry leaped from her bed and started for the bathroom, turning to call back over her shoulder. “I’m not crazy enough to go on another girl’s honeymoon!” Donetta laughed. Everything seemed gay, fantastically so, to her this morning. Gerry always was a card, using her brittle, hard manner to cover a heart of gold, her rather crude humor often to veil a heartDonetta felt a sense of relief that Gerry was taking the break in such n sporting fashion. She knew that the announcement of the preceding night when Kate had called out (as it seemed to Donetta, for all the world to hear) “Give this little girl a hand,” and been a hard blow to Gerry. ... ... The ringing of the telephone bell broke the spell. Even before she answered its insistent clamor, her pale, serious face, flushed a deep, rose red. “Yes,” she said softly. “Hello,’ came the vibrant tones in answer. "Donetta, darling, sweetheart.

Gerry was bridesmaid, and Ivoger Thornley stood up as best man with the bridegroom. Just as the service was ended and the lovely double-ring ceremony which they had chosen drew to a majestic close, the sun broke through the fog and clouds and shone upon the register the young couple were about to sign. Gerry and Thornley signed in their appointed places. A bride book was presented to the bride by

the minister, and the party went on to a gay wedding breakfast in one of the most fashionable hotels. Later the bridesmaid and the best man waved “good-bye” to the bridal couple as the train pulled out of Oakland for the East. Coming back to San Francisco, on the ferry both were very silent. “What are you going to do now, Gerry?” asked Thornley. "God knows,” she was bitter. “The best and only friend I ever had is gone.” "You’re going back to Kate’s?” he asked. “I phoned her and told her 1 would this morning,” she said listlessly. “That’s fine. Did Donetta know that you wore going to earry on?” “Sure she knows. What do you think I phoned Kate for this morning, only to make Dona happy.” Her painted mouth trembled with the effort to keep back tears. "Then Donetta won’t be worried about you? She won’t fret if she doesn't hear from you right away?” he persisted. "No ... she'll be all right... she probably won’t worry much anyway . . . she’ll be wrapped up in her Schuyler.” Gerry spoke almost to herself. Then suddenly she looked at Roger keenly. “What’s on your mind anyway?” she demanded. "Nothing much,” he laughed “Dine with me, will you, Gerry. You know Millie’s sick and I’m lonely. Come on, be a sport. 111 toll you what I was thinking about if that s an inducement.” Gerry pretended to look demure. “It’- quite fitting that the bridesmaid and the best man should step out together.” she said. “They are supposed to console one another, or to toast their own individual good luck, according to the wap they look at it all. Sure I’ll come. That night for the first time during the year the “gang” saw hate Doyle in a towering rage. The show had started well as usual, and she had announced from the floor that Donetta Dane had married and gone back East with her bridegroom, the nulhonaii Schuyler Millbanks, but that her sister, Gerry, would carry <«» with only the assistance °f the regular dancers, and that this time her partner would be a man. and that the whole routine would be disspotlight had been turned on for the dramatic entrance of Gerry Gordon, alone, and no one had appeared.

But a move by Sen. Thomas P. Gore, D., was defeated. Gore's amendment, Okla., to inject the bonus issue which would have merely "authorized” payment of the bonus, was defeated by a voice vote. A broadly liberalizing amendment, put forward by Sen. Richard B. Ruesell, Jr., D..

They manacled the sheriff with his own handcuffs and started on a wild ride across southern Indiana which ended in a ditch about eight miles north of Boonville. The boys fled, leaving the sheriff in the car. He walked to Boonville and helped organize a posse which captured the youths after a gun battle in a field several hours later. Young Ray was wounded slightly in the right shoulder in the exchange of shots. During the wild ride with the sheriff in their custody they boasted of associations with John Dillinger. Hoosier desperado. They said they left Huntington in a stolen automobile June 9 and had stolen automobiles for “joy rides” prior to that time. Returned to jail here they lost much of their bravado and were subdued when arraigned before Judge Sumner the next day. They pleaded guilty. Sheriff Luegers said they bolstered when informed that Ray’s father was en route to Jasper and maintained that spirit after being sentenced. — o Legality Os State Tax Law Questioned Indianapolis, Ind., June 20 —(HP) —A tent of the legality of the 1935 act which requires the state tax board to approve all appropriations of local taxing units over regular budgeted items was indicated today. Horry Long, city attorney of G<ary has solicited an otpinion from the state board of accounts claiming that the 1935 act gives the state board, an administrative body, legislative powers and functions. He said the Gary police and fire departments would be seriously hampered unless additional funds are obtainable. William P. Cosgrove, chief examiner of tihestate board of accounts said his department will recognize procedure set out by ths 1935 act unless the courts rule it invalid. » Painters’ caps free with every I purchase.

TAP DANCES ON LEDGE, KILLED Stenographer Falls From Fourth Floor Os Chicago Hotel Chicago, June 20. (U.R) —Pretty Pauline Turner couldn't resist tap dancing on perilous window ledges whenever she went out on a drinking party. Pauline, 25-year-old stenographer from Plymouth, Ind., plunged to her death, scantily clad, from a. fourth floor window of a north side iiotel today. Her sweetheart, Richard Martin, said she hail been tap dancing again on the window sill. Police held Martin but Sergeant Joseph Kecseg learned that the management of another hotel asked her to leave last week because of her practice of dancing on window ledges. She checked out and went to the Carlos hotel where the fatal plunge occurred after she and Martin had made a tour vs drinking spots. .Miss Turner, rushed to the American hospital, opened her eyes and asked feebly: “Did I fall?” Sergeant Kecseg asked her whether she had been pushed and she muttered "no” before lapsing into unconsciousness. ROOSEVELT CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE house cheers and some senate enthusiasm as well as sharp differences of opinion, it was presented yesterday in a special message to congress. Chairman Robert L. Doughton of the house ways and means committee said he would summon committeemen today to consider the ta.x proposals. Senate radicals are maneuvering for immediate eenactment. But new deal congressional leaders generally desire delay until next session. Mr. Roosevelt's message suggested time would not permit congress to do the job until next year. He charged that existing tax policies have not prevented "unjust concentration of wealth and economic power.” He said inherited economic power was as inconsistent witli this generation as was inherited political power when the colonies rebelled. Mr. Roosevelt warned that:
