I am going to walk a lot" Marvell rubbed the sole of his shoe back and forth on the iron foot-scraper while Bea found his key. "Do you think 1 am a drunkard. Ben?"

Marvell threw his coat over a chair. He unstopped a square glass decanter, poured himself a liberal drink and tasted it slowly. There was a clean smell of wood smoke. He picked up a red leather book from a table. The bookplate intrigued him. He would have some mad* for himself. •'The Marvell of it is . . ." He was pleased with thts fancy. But It pricked him, too.

Ind, July 5— (l’P>— A 72-year-old grandmother stayed In jail by her own request today because it was a "wonderful place" to keep away from bootleggers. Mrs. Ida Sturroek of Bartlettsvllle was jailed originally In connection with the fatal shooting early Sunday of her grandson. Roscoe G. Owing*. 31. She was offered a release yesterday, pending a grand jury investigation, but refused. “I'm happy In ti e ceil.” said Mrs. Sturroek. "The jail is a won- ■ derful place for an old lady like myself who has been abused like I have been by the bootleggers and beaten up by them." Owings was shot after he allegedly threatened to beat Mrs. Sturroek with a rock. The woman told authorities as- ! ter the shooting *h> didn't want to kill Owings, "hut I'm too old to take a beating." Prosecutor Tom Shrout said he would permit Mrs. Sturroek to stay in the jail at least un«ll the j grand jury investigation was comi pleted.

"A bookkeeper. What will you do together?" Marvell had finished his drink and poured himself another. "Well, he has some money saved up—he live* on a string. We can begin together in a small way.

There are lots of ways an outfit that size can edge in on jobs a big firm wouldn't bother with. Fve made good contacts tn the west and there's always room for anyone in New York." "I daresay," murmured Ben. Marvell expanded visibly even under this luke-warm approval "At one time or another, Ben, I’ve wanted to do a number of things —architecture, chemistry, naviga-tion-even acting. I've tried a ccuple of them—tt’a not a bad record for a plumber, to it? That's what lam at bottom—a plumber." Ben thought with a touch of distaste that be could appreciate at times Proctor's lack of response to Marvell He was so willing to show himself off. "Just why did you eorne back?" interrupted Ben abruptly. The glow of exuberance faded a liiUe from Marvcil* face. Without warning, Bea ha.l brought bun up Aarply. "I got a telegrem." he said “I thought they wanted me to come." The man was so ingenuous. Ben felt uncomfortable.

"it ha* scared off hundreds of beautiful girls who would compete under different conditions.” Miss Down* said the most In autiful girls in America have never been brought before the public eye. "There are thousands of beautiful girl* who would never enter a beauty contest, simply because it’s against their principles to exhibit themselves in a bathing suit," she continued. "The girls object to it. Their parents object. And. In many cases, the clergy objects.” Mis* Downs said many beauty contest officials support her.
