Rumors have been freely circulated here concerning the bank's condition since the defalcations of j George Haymond. former vice-presi-dent, were made known, almost two j years ago. The forced closing of j the Lincoln Trust and Savings j Company caused a renewal of the I rumors resulting in heavy with- 1 drawals that threatened to become a run on the bank.

April 18.—An en- \ gineering memorial to George Washington, the engineer, which would include the restoration of canal locks at Great Falls, on the Po- > tcmac, is being sought by the ! Ameiwn Engineering Council. It is proposed to complete the reconstruction by 1932. when the George Washington bi-centennial will be held. Washington's canal at Great Falls, a few miles west of Washington, is remarkable when the crude machinery he had io work wuh is considered. The canal on lie Virginia side of the river is cut through rock for a distance of forty j feet at the lower end. As first laid out it consisted of five locks, which took care of a seventy-six-foot fall. Expectant Mother Kills Self h a Times Special SOUTH BEND.

MEET NASTY LADY AND A GRAND THING Peter B. Kyne Tips Us Off to That Double Side of a Woman Who Had Two Answers for Every “Yes.” BY WALTER D. HICKMAN HERE is a "lady" with two sides to the thing that they call “dual” personality. She is the grand dame in all of her intelligence or she is just a narrow thief. , Peter B. Kyne had a great chance to do this dual personality stuff but he shot way and high above the mark. Trying to find, probably in his own success as a writer, he divorced "sex” or what you want to do when a woman is present in modern fiction. I am trying to tell you about “Golden Dawn,” published by The Cosmopolitan Book Corporation, and selling at $2.

Kyne does that dual personality thing by divorcing realism. An in that, it is my opinion, that he is wTong. He has attempted to create a study of a woman, who had a record in police courts, operating unj der that "something” of being able | to get by—just a character of the underworld or society with a brain box that would forget. And so he has a chief of police, yelling out about the ability and the graft-getting plan of those who work under him, and he helps them. As we love theater, can you imagine a chief of police hiding a dame who "worked” her way out !of a prison? Can you dream of ! the machine guns with death fire ! yelling out and clipping that boat in which she made her escape? Yes! And then the dame with two names and a bank account in one name, has her face lifted because the “doc” is one of those grand persons who know’s when you drop an “r” or a “nothing” out of a twosided personality. But the funny thing about this man Kyne is that he does not ask any one to believe it. He has created theater of reading. Melodrama. Strange and all out of gear. Not literature Is this Kyne story. But it is “reading theater.” Another adventure w’ith Peter B. Kyne. and all so very much much. But, he does tell you about the doctor getting into that dual something which will make the patient yell out about her “daughter” and all of her dead husband's wealth. Also hate. Then the doctor, after he cures her of the two-sided mental thing that she has —well the doctor is ready to marry the dame w T ho has lost one side of her personality. And that is on Page 275. Marked “The End.” Here is a novel that comes very near being a “talking movie"’ as we see it on the screen. The story has that great claw—interest. You will want to see what the chief does, the doctor and the worn- ! an nurse who runs his bank account and even to the amount of Scotch that goes into a highball. Then the girl with the two-sided | thing. Here is the modern story | of “theater.” Not great literature, i What does anybody care? But it j is still the "theater” of reading. And that is my idea of when you j LAWYERS TO BALLOT Group to Vote Choice for Judges, Prosecutor.
