■ i, - sky, her chin trembled childishly in the face of the fresh bathed beauty. She thought, I’ll never want anything but peace again in all my life. I’ll marry Dick and be so grateful to be his wife, I’ll never even dream of anything but what I have. Julie was learning, but she was learning slowly and she didn’t yet know herself. To be home in her own bed, to wake hours later, hungry. To smell bacon frying and coffee boiling. To hear Priscilla’s feet running through the hall. To see Cosy’s grim face breaking-into a smile of welcome. Her heart leaped ahead of the train. She wouldn’t be home until eight or nine o’clock. It was a long drive from Rochester to Fayette. And if Tommy were not waiting for her—it never occurred to her for a moment that if he had the telegram he would not be there—she’d have to take the bus. She wouldn’t! She’d curl up in the railroad station and die! At half past five a stirring about her in the train awakened her from her light cat-nap. A nap that made her more uncomfortable. The base of her spine burned from long contact with the hard seat. Her muscles were cramped and aching with the need of restful sleep. Her head lolled heavily. “We’ll be in in ten minutes,” the man in front of her said turning his head. “As if I didn't know,” she said behind closed teeth. The porter took down her heavy suitcase, her hat-box containing the purple cartwheel. In the washroom, she bathed her face in tepid water, dried it hastily, ran a comb through her hair. She didn’t even bother to put powder on, or lipstick. It would have little changed her face, which had lost its beauty. Her eyes were shadowed and there was a deep purple, greenish discoloration around the scar on her forehead. Her nose was pinched and fatigue etched white lines around her mouth. Smoothing her sheer suit as best she could, she put on her gloves. It was a good thing it was Tommy who was meeting her, it didn't matter how she looked to him. She didn’t know until then how lonely a railroad station could be at f.ve-thirty in the morning. For an instant she thought he wasn’t there. Then she saw him standing by the news-stand, raised her arm in a hesitant greeting. A shadow of her gallantry. He made long strides toward her, took her suitcase and hat-box and said, “Hello, Julie. What brought you home at this inauspicious hour? I got your Wegram too late to arrange for a brass band.” “it was nice of you to come. I , knew you would.” “Sure. Good old Tommy.” They were walking through the , station. “Where’s the car?” “Don’t tell me you don’t recognize i Old Faithful?” he said reproach- , fully. He was trying to be gay but ; it wasn’t quite coming off. i “But you've painted it! It ... it i looks beautiful!" i Tommy put her things in the I back-seat. “Say, are you sick or r don’t you feel well? It’s purely a , rhetorical question: I just don’t ■ understand this softness.” > He looked at her and saw that she was tottering. Throwing an old I blanket over the things, he took two ! strides toward her and tucked her ! arm in his. “I’ll bet you’re hungry. Let’s go over to the Ritz Carleton I and have a bite." The Ritz Carleton was merely a complimentary term. The restau- . rant was known as Joe's EAT. It , was patronized at that hour of the ’ morning by two taxi-drivers, Tom- • my and Julie. Tommy dusted off the seat at a tile-topped table. “Coffee, quick!” he said to the . waiter. "And then rustle up ham i and eggs and toast.**

Julie took her hat off and put it on a chair. She brushed the hair back from her forehead with a tired gesture. Tommy saw the fresh scar. He cleared his throat, looked away and then he said, “Gosh, Julie, why didn’t you tell me?” She smiled wryly, sipping her coffee. “Why, Tommy?” “Oh, I dunno. Only . . . well . . . I’m sorry.” “Don’t you be sorry for me, Tommy, or I’ll disgrace you.” He didn’t say anything. He transferred ham and eggs to her plate and smoked while she ate and his food got cold. Julie was young and healthy: she recovered consideraly after she had put away a plate of food. “Can you tell me now? How you got that smack on the bean?” “It’s a long story,” she began. "It’s really the reason why I sent a telegram to you.” “Shucks 1 I thought it was because you were beginning to realize what a great guy I am.” “I always knew you were a great guy, Tommy ... in your way.” Tommy played with the ashes on his plate, twizzling them with the tip of his cigarette. “I suppose, you know what’s been happening to me?” His voice was different, not as gay as it had been when he an- ; s we red. “You’ve been getting famous. Pictures in the paper. Addressing clubs. Dinner parties.” “Not that, Tommy. And yet that, in away. I've been at a houseparty on Long Island. At the Lombards’.” “Dick said something about it.” She wished he'd look at her. “Well, that’s how I got this bump.” “Bump into a door in the dark?” He made an attempt to be gay. “No. Into truth. I should have seen it before but I always lived up to my reputation. You said I was a little fool. You were a little bit off there: I was a big one!” "It's never too late to start over,” Tommy proffered, conscious that his words were only words. Rush on. Get it over with. "Tommy, before I tell you what kind of a jam I’m in, I want you to know that I’m different. I’ve learned a lesson and I ... I’m going to settle down and be content to be Dick’s wife!” If she hadn’t been so deeply concerned with her own story she would have seen that Tommy’s eyes were probing her, separating the things she said from the truth back of them. The real truth not merely what she wished to say, or intended. It was an unerring gift that was one day to make him one of New York’s most famous district attorneys. He listened without interrupting ' while she told him the whole pitiful story of her folly. To her credit, let it be said that she spared herself nothing. “What will I do? Tommy, Dad hasn’t the money. I don’t want Dick to know about it. I'll find work to pay it off but I’ve got to get it and send it at once. Please tell me what to do!” Tommy finished his cigarette, burning it to his finger-tips before he spoke. Then he said: “We’d better get you home where you can catch some sleep. And don’t worry any more! It’ll be all right. I don’t want you to see anyone until I call for you around five. Then we’ll go and see Millicent. Dick, by the way, is in Burlington at a meeting.” “M-Millicent. But you said .” “I’ve got a hunch that Millicent will know the right thing to do. She’s a big person, Julie, but she made a mistake, too. Perhaps I can convince her that this is away to right her own mistake.” (To be continued) cwwishl b» Mart. BlUarS PUUU»U4 »» Ui Tmuum SnSubU.

RETAINS SHIRLEY ON LIQUOR BOARB S ”* ■' W BBnv RICHARD A. SHIRLEY Governor Townsend has re-ap-pointed Richard A. Shirley of Indianapolis as a member of the Alcoholic Beverage Commission Former Governor McNutt appointed Shirley as secretary of the board in April, 1935, later making him a commissioner when a vacancy occurred. Shirley is a Democrat and was president of the former W. H. Johnson & Son Co., manufacturers of sheet meta' products. He served on the Indianapolis Board of Public Works in 1 the Jewett administration, being a Democratic member. night before the officers had surprised a man burning insulation off wire stolen from Krick-Tyndall Tile | . mill. This man escaped by runnling into the weeds. McCollum answered the description of the man and his clothing were covered with burrs and weeds. ISSUES ORDER ON CAMPAIGN State Employes Must (Jet Off Payroll To Run For Office Indianapolis, Feb. 1. —<U.R) —Gov. M. Clifford Townsend announcedj today that "no state employe will be permitted to make a political campaign for a remunerative office while on the state payroll.” This declaration, made after a conference among administration leaders yesterday, fulfilled Townsend's attitude as outlined before i ' a meeting of the Democratic state committee last month at French Lick. Townsend's official statement added that "heads of departments . may decide whether the candidate I shall be given a leave of absence ; without pay or be asked to resign ' I from his position. Such decisions shall be based on the amount of time reqpired by the candidate to campaign and the character of his i work tor the state- The ruling apI plies only to those seeking rei munerative public office either in I the primary or election cam- ; paign.” At the French Lick meeting Townsend said he believed state i employes held an unfair advantage in any electioneering and should not conduct their campaigns on the time and money of the tax-, payers. Today's ruling, however, is evidently phrased to exempt candidates for delegate to .state conventions. The only stale employe to announce his candidacy for an important office thus far is Alex Gordon, vice-president of the state employment compensation board, i who ten days ago entered the campaign for the Democratic nomination to the U. S. senate. Gordon is a prominent Indiana labor leadi er. Others may be affected by the I ruling, it appeared today. John Ellerbush of Princeton, deputy state auditor, may run for state | auditor. Grover Van Duyn of i Greenfield is reported to aspire to i be state superintendent of public instruction —he is now assistant superintendent. Statehouse observers are await-, ing a test case to see how the governor's ruling will be applied. Dress Catches Fire, Daughter Saves Life Rochester. Ind., Fqb. 1. —<(U.R) The quick action of Mrs. Lawrence Solomon's 17-year-old daughter Olive today had probably saved her life. Mrs. Solomon's dress caught fire from the stove in their home as she was feeding her baby. Her daughter quickly grabbed a blanket, wrapped it around her and roll-i : cd her on the floor until the flames 1 were smothered Taken to Henry county hospital, physicians said the second degree, burns were serious but that she would recover. Forrest Rosa, local shoe store Imaaager’, returned to work today as- ■ ter suffering from an attack of la ' grippe.

NEW TITLE TEST SUIT IS FILED Indianapolis Attorney Files Again Against Ttitle-Card Holder Indianapolis, Feb. 1 — <U,R> - Another suit to test the validity of the new motorists' title-card holder was on file in superior court today and T. Ernest Malholm, attorney, who was defeated last week in it first trial, was sure the law requiring the “celluloid curiousities" is unconstitutional. In his new suit, a petition for an 1 injunction against five defendants, Malholm describes the windshield | gadgets as “celluloid curiousities. | called certificate of registration ; ; holders, sold at the unreasonable, I ' exorbitant and excessive profit of, 'l3 cents each.” He alleges the law is unconst i■! ; tutional because It interferes with .motorists rights to operate their; vehicles and gives the commissioner of motor vehicles excessive I I authority over bids to the state I I for sale of the containers. Malholm also attacks the bureau of motor vehicles as a legally non-, i existent department and therefore I without right to make a contract i ’ for purchase of the holders. He said the law, designed as a regulatory measure, is revenue-produc-; ling and any receipts placed in | state general fund is contrary to 1 1 statute. Frank Finney, commissioner of I motor vehicles, Peter F. Hein, state treasurer. Laurence F. Sullivan, auditor of state. August G. I Mueller, secretary of state, and N. Shure and Co., jobbers for the I gadgets, were named as defendants in the suit.

ADMIRAL (CONTINUED FKUU PAGE ONE) Leahy said it did not extend beyond removing them from danger ' zones. He said approximately ?,- I 000 had been removed from China. When Rep. Byron N- Scott, D.. I Calf., asked Leahy whether the navy knew the position of every vessel of the Japanese fteet, the admiral said "no.” Vinson suggested that Scott “forgot” that line of questioning. Cole and Scott inquired whether any existing navy could destroy the U. S. fleet. Leahy replied: “I am unwilling to admit that any navy could destroy the Unit-[ l ed States navy but Great Britain ; has a fleet more powerful than i ours.” Scott noted that Leahy in his naval strength comparisons had: linked Germany, Japan and Italy. | "My reason for tabulating a com-1 bination of the naval powers ofj i those three nations,” said Leahy,. “is that they are in some kind of agreement. I think it must be considered in a study of comparative naval power.” Scott asked what chances the United States fleet with 21 battlej ships would have in a war against ! the combined fleets of Germany. ■ Japan and Italy, with 30 battlej ships. "I am unable to say what the . outcome might be,” replied Leahy. “Certainly a 30-hattle ship fleet j should be able to defeat a 21-bat-tle ship fleet.” “Should w o bo led into war,"' asked Scott, "certainly our fleet would not wait for the enemy here but would probably go elsewhere to destroy them. Would the pres- , ent fleet be sufficient to defeat one ' enemy or a combination of enemies I and still have enough strength to I protect our coast ?” “It would not,” said Leahy. "Not even with the proposed increase?” "The proposed increase will not bring us up to the 5-5-3 naval 1 ratio." Leahy said. Rep. Melvin J. Maas. R . Minn.,

I inquired whether the proposed increase would mean a 5 to 3 ratio between the United States and Japan. "Not quite,” said Leahy, AFL CONSIDERS r<-r>NTTNTTw:n s-xom in nwr Sidney Hillman’s amalgamated, clothing workers. The purpose of 1 this would be to split the C. I. O.

Both the typographers and I the brewers are known to be on I the verge of possible C. I. O. * affiliation. Conversations with council members indicated today that the right-wing faction, headed by lead ' ers of the building and metal 1 trades unions, apparently had won their fight to deal belligerently' with the Lewis forces and end the, last lingering ties which the ten ; unions have with the federation. 1 Demand Appropriations Washington, Feb. 1 — (U-R) —The United Mine Workers of America ; today demanded additional appropriations to continue the LaFol- ' lette civil liberties inquiry after! I hearing John L. Lewis condemn as 1 a “damnable imposition" the ex- ; penditure of $80,000,000 by em- { ployers” for industrial espionage. Lewis, chairman of the commit- i tee for industrial organization and J president of tbe miners’ union said America "does not need this foreign system of espionage.” "Americans are free men and they resent being spied upon. As one American, I confess to a feeling of outrage when I read of the trenu-ndons expenditures of money on the part of industry for the sole purpose of keeping the workers in , subjection and to keep them from exercising normal rights. “I believe that this $80,000,000 would lie better spent if it went into the workers’ pay envelopes i for services rendered." | The convention unanimous approved resolutions: Opposing an investigation of the national labor relations board or amendment of the act which created it. This resolution also protested recent. NLRB interpretations "which will permit craft organiza tkms to creep into the mass production and basic industries.” Endorsing the anti-lynching bill Asking imposition of a federal I tax on fuel oil and natural gas "as unfair competitors of coal.” Lewis said that the work of the LaFollette committee was "fraught with tremendous importance not

only to labor but to the maintenance of the constitutional rights of a tree people. | “It is high time that the defend era o( liberty in congress take action to protect Americans against these systems and their practices." he said. Lewis said he had noted that "this system of secret espionage seems to be creeping into aomo of i the divisions and arms of our govI ernment.” "Recent developments before I congressional committees reveal , some governmental departments I have spent large sums of money 1 to build up secret service systems," i he said. o McNutt’s Trip To U.

McNutt, high commissioner , of the Philippines and former governor of Indiana, will leave Manila l for the United States on tile Philip- ; pine Clipper, scheduled to arrive in 1 San Francisco Feb, 13. and he will | arrive in Indianapolis Feb. 16. The former governor had planned to leave aboard the China Clipper which was to have started its trans- ; pacific flight this week. The flight . was cancelled, however. o - I League’s Council Adopts Resolution ■ Geneva. Feb. I—(UP1 —(UP) —The league council in a secret meeting today reached a tentative agreement on a resolution authorizing the powers interested in the far east to undertake any measure they may consider necessary to reach a "just settlement” in China. Although the resolution does not name countries, it theoretically authorizes Britain, France, and the Soviet Union to consult with the United States on any measure to halt the conflict. Veteran Senator Issues Warning Washington, Feb. I—(UP) —Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, interrupted a momentous senate debate on foreign policy today to warn the administrtion against repetition “of the very things that brought on the World War.”’ The veteran Hdahoan, former chairman of the foreign relations committee, pointed with concern to recent statements and events in Great Britain and the U. S. which Ihe said gave other nations the impression that there was a tacit alliance or understanding! between the two countries.
