stat: basket TOURNEY QUIZ WILLCONTINUE Alleged Immorality to Be Aired by Witnesses, Board Believes. State board of education’s probe into alleged immorality among high school pupils during the state high school basketball tournament at Indianapolis will be continued, it was announced today following a conference of the investigating committee. Headed by Superintendent W. A. Wirt of Gary schools, the probe group will take testimony of voluntary witnesses in their efforts to air charges of improper conduct at tourneys. Wirt said majority of the evidence that will come before the investigation committee will be in letter form. Eut few witnesses are expected to appear personally and offer testimony. That the committee had no authority to subpena witnesses or ban the tourney was contained in a ruling given by the attorneygeneral’s office Tuesday afternoon. Only local boards of education have the power to prohibit a team or teams from appearing at the contest. One of the chief points in the board’s probe, is the charge that youths participating in the final games obtained strychnine from a local druggist. The boys used the strychnine to stimulate themselves to undergo the terrific strain of playing, it is charged in a letter addressed to L. N. Hines of the Indiana Teachers’ college, Terre Haute, member of the quiz committee. Hines said the writer of the letter says he is prepared to offer proof of the charges.

Chapter Forty-Eight (Continued) Triumphantly in his mouth -he held an old pair of bedroom slippers. Not the tiny, feminine slippers made iof satin that Gypsy wore. Old. ■ battered, brown leather slippers that could belong to no one else in that household but Jim Wallace. A ruined, disreputable, hopeless wornout pair of bedroom slippers. She tried to get to the dog, but Jim was before her. He took the slippers from the dog’s mouth and held them up. “What,” he asked, “are you doing with these?” “I—took them.” “But what for?” “I ’’ Suddenly Gypsy could not speak. She buried her face in her hands and sobs shook her shoulders. The man stoed by awkwardly. “Don't, Gypsy,” he said. “Please don’t cry. I didn’t mean to make you feel badly.” The tears continued. Jim put his arm around the girl and she clung to him. “Oh, Jim. I can’t stand it!” she moaned. "I can’t stand it to go away and leave you!” He pressed her closer. The girl’s tear-wet cheek touched his chin. “Do you mean that?” Jim asked in a tone she had never heard him use before. “Do you mean that, Gypsy?” A nodding head confirmed the statement. “Eut I thought,” Wallace began, and suddenly held her away from him. “Look here! Wasn't Crosby the fellow’ you used to be in love with? Didn’t he come back here to tell you he still wanted you?” Now it was Gypsy who was surprised. She looked up at him through her tears. “Yes,” Gypsy said, “but I sent him away. I told him”—her voice was a whisper—“l told him I love you!” Out of the bewilderment confronting each of them three facts were made plain. Jim’s lips found and conquered Gypsy’s in a manner amazingly satisfactory. • Gypsy’s head rested against Jim’s shoulder in the most delightful way and his arms were the protection she had always dreamed of. a an THERE were discoveries—remarkable, breath-taking discoveries —to be made about the warm whiteness of Gypsy’s throat, about her curling lashes and the softness of her hair. There was the miracle of Jim’s kisses to be reckoned with. Oh, there was so much to marvel at in a world that had suddenly become paradise for these tw’o! No wonder logic and reason and all the things that were topsyturvy and unexplainable seemed unimportant. Afterward, of course, they got around to discussing the wherefores. Jim confessed how long ago he had found the snapshot picture of Crosby in a book. lie had forgotten about it until, ten days ago, right after Crosby’s visit, he had come across the book again. There was the photograph and this.time he knew who it was. He had been sure before that the man was Gypsy’s sweetheart. It had been natural enough to assume why Crosby had returned. “You see, dear, I couldn’t bear to feel that I was keeping you from happiness—” “Happiness? You’ll never know : how terrible these last days have been for me!” “They were terrible for me, too.” ; “But, Jim, suppose I’d actually | gotten on that horrible train! Suppose it hadn’t been for Pat and the

slippers! Do you think—would you have gone through with it?” “I don't know! I don’t know anything except that you are the sweetest, the prettiest, the most altegeher adorable girl in the world. I'm not even interested in anything else! “I wouldn’t listen If someone offered me a railroad or a gold mine or one-half of Austria—!” “Wouldn’s you though? Foolish! And all the while I was so sure you wanted to marry Marcia!” “Why, Marcia’s gone back to Long Island. Didn’t you know that? Didn’t you see her picture the other day in the newspaper? That’s right —I guess I didn’t bring it home. “There was a picture of Marcia and some Italian count together. The headline said something about Cupid’s bow and arrows. I suppose $500,000 looks good to the boys with the titles ar.d no bank accounts.” “Do you suppose she’ll marry him?” “Haven’t the least idea. Maybe it's just another piece of guess-

When Platinum regains consciousness, she finds herself being cared tenderly for by Dr. Robert Sanford, Nick Cottrelli and a nurse. She did not know how she got there.

work. Still, if I know Marcia at all, she's get a lot of satisfaction out of annexing the word ‘countess’ before her name. Marcia's like that.” Gypsy’s arm stole closer. “Say something else mean about her! I love you when you talk like that.” Jim grinned. “What’s this —a jealous wife? Madam, you surprise me!” Gypsy’s impertinent nose being convenient, the kiss landed on the tip of it. Suddenly the girl drew back. “There's nothing in the kitchen for supper,” she wailed, “and Maliida’s gone. What will we do?” “We'll gc shopping. And”—Jim’s voice became emphatic—“while we’re we're at it we’ll buy Pat a beefsteak. “By the day, when we start for Canada next week, let’s plan to be gone six weeks instead of three. THIS trip’s going to be a honeymoon!” THE END.

TEST OF REAL LIQUOR FEELING IS ANNOUNCER Church Council Will Use Quiz for Teaching in Sunday Schools. By United Press CHICAGO, May X.—A psychological test of an individual’s instinctive feeling toward prohibition has been inaugurated by the International Council of Religious Education as anew method of teaching temperance in Sunday schools. The instinctive feeling toward prohibition is tested by crossing out as rapidly as possible the words which the youth finds disagreeable in the following list; Anti-saloon League, bootlegger, beer, alcoholism, law enforcement, saloon, Canadian plan, padlock, wine, cocktail, temperance, hootch, propaganda, prosperity, beer stein, Capone, coast guard, home brew, pledge signing, racketeer, Volstead, local option, W. C. T. U., Jones law, rum runner, machine gun, personal liberty, Hoover commission, law observance. The word test should be followed, says the council, by rapidly indicating the truth or falsity of the following statements: Alcohol is a poison. A cocktail or a glass of champagne promotes sociability. Alcohol is a stimulant. Bootleg liquor is dangerous. Drinking is not a sin but alcono’.ism is a disease. Alcohol increases happiness. All moderate drinkers tend to become heavy drinkers. Alcohol is a narcotic. The new method, according to its sponsors, will be used in forty-two denominations, representing 85 per cent of the Protestant church membership of the country.
