at eight for cost of six! e The Idea of giving cities the power to tax income of citizen,, might sound alright to members of the legislators, but If made a law bow will municipalities enforce the law and collect the money. It seems that a law should be passed whereby a more equitable payment would be made, iastead of adding an extra burden on those who have their income reported on the payroll plan. Are the legislators afraid to deal direct with property taxes? o o City police are enforcing the parking ordinance and numerous "Red" tickets have been Issued costing the offender 81 cafeteria style. Along Second street and on other streets in the up-town district. parking is limited to one hour between S am. and 7 p.m, the later limitation being extended to 10 p.m. on Saturday. The city is proceeding on the theory that more parking apace will be available to more shoppers if the limited parking rules are observed.

Britain's plan to move 100,000 displaced European Jews into a federalized sone in Palestine turned out to be a compromise satisfying no one. In an illuminating article in the Atlantic Monthly, W. T. Stare, professor in Princeton University, says he believes the Zionist alm of a homeland in Palestine violates the rights of the Arabs to self-determination. The Arabs have the same justification for opposition to Jewish colonization that the United States had. for example, in its oriental exclusion acts. The Balfour Declaration of 1817 this writer characterizes a "a piece of muddle-headed-lies*." Because it was baaically wrong. he believes attempts to carry it out will mean continued controversy, with disastrouk threats to the peace of the world. o—o Seldom has any high-up public official, like O. Max Gardner, ambasaador to Great Britain, died l>efore assuming office. The only recent parallel aside from that of < love mor -elect Eugene Talmadge ot Georgia, is that of Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, who died just two days before he was to become attorney-general at the beginning of President Roosevelt's term. Roosevelt’s recond choice. Homer S. Cummings of Connecticut, ranked neither in legal ability nor in public standing with Senator Walsh, whose 20 years in the Senate and whose work as investigator of the Teapot Dome sandal made him one of tbe most respected men at Washington. Cummings was. however, an average attorney-general, to whose lot it fell to hold the post six years.

CHAPTER THREE UNWILLINGLY Wade snubbed the nose of the seaplane to the wharf, and Janet stretched out both hands. “Wade, you haven’t changed a bit.” For the first time since he met her. Cliff thought he detected a spontaneous warmth in her voice and eyes, and he uw that her handclasp brought a smile to Wade's leathery face. But ths little hunter still glanced nervously back toward shorn. "M you all get your duffle ready. I'll saddle up and we can start for New Dixie. No sense lookin’ for trouble if you don’t have to." For a second he studied Bogard's square Jaw and level eyes. "You don't look tike you scare very easy, mutter, but those Biacklanders ran that other fellow out no fast you could of sal a cup of coffee on hie coattails."

"They can’t be looking for me," Cliff reminded him. “How could they know Fd land here?" * "Mebbe the;- didn't know." Wade conceded, "but the point to they don't want you here.” "Sooner or later I'll have to meet them—it might as well be today." ’lf It’s all the same to you. Td rather you did your meetin’ some place else. Let’s ?o up to th* house." Wade turned back toward shore, and leaving Pablo at the ptaae, Janet and Cliff followed along * winding paUi. It was <xxd and shadowy beneath the dripping canopy of jungle, and after a Aiort walk they emerged upon a brand clearing, where three shacks stood, roofed with palm leaves.

voice ceased in midair. Cliff heard a book drop, then the quick patter of bare foot, and a girt stood in the doorway. Seen in sharp relief against the blackness of the room, she seemed very young and marvelously alert, aa if poised for instant flight. The smooth dark skin was richly tanned, ths lips were full, the soft brown eyes slanted up and outward. Two thick strands of Mack hair were braided about her head, and a thin, single-piece cotton garment, sleeveless and caught at the waist, accentuated her slenderness Smail In stature, every feature delicately chiseled, she gave the effect of a graceful and perfectly formed creature of the wild. Swiftly her eyes moved from Bogard to Janet, then back to Bogard again. "Hello,” she said, a little uncertainly. ’•LIiH, thia is Mias Norman,” Wade called. "You remember Dr. Norman, her father—he brought you into the world." Wade jerked a thumb toward Cliff. "And this is Mr. Bogard. You all come in and sit down.” Lilli moved back, her slanting eyes on Cliff. It was a small plain room with rough board floor and handwrought chain and tables. Tanned hides of crocodiles crowded the four wails, and opposite the door was a shelf of well-worn books. In one corner stood a rifle and a dou-ble-barreled shotgun. But Wade remained ill at ease. "I Just hate seemin’ inhospitable, especially to you, Miss Janet,” he began aocomfortably, "but that bunch at Blacklandera is almost sure to come back this way. Vicente's with ’em—he's the one who threw that other fellow out.”

Wade was so clearly anxious to start Bogard on his way that Cliff half railed. “I get the Connection. But it might be helpful if 1 knew just who these Black landers are." -Depends on who you ask. Up in New Dixie foite would tell you they’re a gang of outlaws and nocount riff-raff. Once they was all New Dixie people, but they didn't like the way things was goto* ao they polled out in a body. We call ’em Msbcktonders because they settled down and went to farmin’ in the Blackianda. They got along fine with the natives—some cf ’em intermarried, and started farms and small cattle outfits along the riw* That's where the rubber planIf t irmi are/’ Janet added. Wade peered out the window. There ain't been no love lost he-, tween the New Dixie people and the Biacktondera,” he went an, "but they never bothered each other much until the New Dixie cattlemen — the vaqueroa — began • xpandin* their ranges out toward the Blacklists By that time the HtowMaMtoca ted fenced off all tUe ft-A-il** pxkcta pau*tuirirf’ ed tcTdrtJTte?wL They had R

Open Triple Probe Into Train Wreck Red Arrow's Death Toll Fixed At 22 Altoona. Pa.. Feb. 19— (UP) — The death toll In the crackup of the Pennsylvania railroad's ''Red Arrow" flyer, which plunged over an embankment near picturesque Horseshoe Curve, was fixed at 22 today with 124 persons injured. (The Red Cross reported 23 dead but was able to identify only 16.1

—just sorts evaporated. Their horses came back with empty saddles, and the reins tied nice and neat to the born.” "You mean they were killed ?” "Nobody knows. They Just never showed up again, and by the time they’d lost a dozen vaqueros, the people of New Dixie decided somethin' had to be done, so they went out to get the Blackland leader.” "Vicente?" Cliff asked. "No, not Vicente. Nobody knows who the leader is or where he stays That’s the thing bothers the vaqueros. But wherever he is, he’s got plenty b:ains and drivin’ force to organize the Blacklanders like he has. It takes a real leader to turn a bunci of river fanners into flghtir.’ men. and It ain’t Vicente, that's sure. Lilli here knew Vicente all her life—they was brought up together. His father's a Blacklander, mother's a Spanish woman.” Wade stopped. "Well, this ain’t gettln* you all headed for New Dixie. I better gather up some horses.” He glanced toward Janet. "You got any rtdin* things, Miss Janet?" She rose. "I'll go down to the plane and change.” She followed Wade into the clearing. Through the dusky gloom ot the cabin Cliff looked across the room at Mill, sitting in the corner, with bare fret curled up beneath her, like a dartc-halred shadow. Wholly unconscious ot the lengthening silence, she seemed content to sit there watching him with frank approval, apparently waiting ter Um to speak.

Cliff had caught sight of Wade's books, and with sudden interest he read the titles: "How to Behave on All Occasions," "The Southern Gentlewoman's Book of Etiquette," "How to Build a Two-Cycle Engine," "College Requirements for Women.* Ne remembered Pablo s story of Wade's ambition to send this girt away to school and picked up the book on the table. “Why are you studying Imtia?” he asked. "Because he*—she raised a brown hand toward the door—"he wants me to." “Like lt?" “Not much, rd rather hunt ar swim." Then with a swift, unexpected smite. “B n rd tike tt if you read me some." Dubiously CUff opened the book "Kx quovto ligno-" He laughed and shook his head. “I’ve forgotten how, LUU." He nad not beard her move, but she was standing beside him now. ao ctoee he could catch the soft rhythm es her breathing. There was something wildly fantastic to the thought that here ia the heart of a South Amerwan jungle this slender, slant-eyed gtot should be concerned with Latin rate. “How aid era your l he atecd. “Seventeen."

At least 20 of the injured were in critical condition in Altoona hospitals as a triple investigation began to fix the blame tor the wreck. One of the injured was Larry English. 20. Midland. Mick., who was *n route to New York on his honeymoon. His bride. DOrothy. whom he married in Midland Saturday. wax killed. English was in Altoona hospital with sholder lacerations and multiple abrasions. Tbe railroad fixed the death toll at 22 all identified at local morgues, but coroner Daniel M Kepiogle said he counted 23 bodies taken from the wreckage. The dead included 13 passengers, six mail clerks aud three cretk members of the two locomotives. Twenty-one persons were killed instantly in tbe wreck and the 22nd victim. George C. Bowman, 47. Tyrone, Pa., a mail clerk, died last night. The investigation into the crash was condncted by the railroad, tbe interstate commerce commission and the Pennsylvania public utilities commission.
