WORKS BOARD. SEEKS TO HALT STRIKE THREAT Members to Confer With Union Leaders on Plant Problem. Works Board members, harassed for months by labor disputes from two sources, arranged to confer this week with Marlon County Building Trades Council spokesmen to avert a threatened walkout at the garbage reduction plant. Local labor leaders, headed by Charles Lutz, state Representative, have decreed that unless union pipe fitters are used to connect 32 riigestors being installed at the plant, a general walkout will be called. Board members fear this would halt operations on the $500,000 Federal expansion project at the sewage disposal and garbage reduction plants until next spring. Use of Union Labor Advocated “At present, the board intends to use city maintenance men for this work and it should be done by union labor," Mr. Lutz asserted. If work Is stopped, sanitary department executives say their budget may be handicapped. Henry B. Steeg, city engineer estimates that the city loses S3OOO '■ach month the plant is idle. On the other hand, C. K. Calvert, city sanitary superintendent, told board members that if union men are hired, city employes would have to be laid off. Couldn’t Pay Union Scate He declared January pay rolls of his department could not be met if union scales for pipefitters and the demands of the Marion County Building Trades Council are met. For the past month, work of installing the digestors has been balked by other labor difficulties. The “cookers" are being manufactured by Hedges-Walsh-Weidner, of Chattanooga, Tenn. Originally, that firm had a sub-contract with the Central Boiler and Sheet Iron Works of Indianapolis to tear down the old digestors and put the new' ones on bases. "W,\ Stopped Work Tbi P blic Works Administration, which is furnishing $19,000 for the project, stopped work three times, claiming the local company was chiseling on the Federal wage scale. The Works Board obliterated the objection by forcing Hedges-Walsh-Wcidner to cancel the sub-contract and assume installation work. The plant, which Mr. Steeg planned to have functioning by the middle of this month, was not near completion today. DRILL CAUSES BLAST Spark Ignites Garage Gasoline and Explosion Follows. Allan Curtis, 4435 Baltimore-av, escaped serious injury today when a spark from an electric drill he was using in Wiles & Wils n Garage, 3815 College-av. flew 20 feet and ignited some gasoline, causing an explosion. The explosion knocked out a 40foot plate glass window' in the front of the garage and the plate glass in two doors.

But—do you see?— I didn't dare get arrested, even for something I hadn't done. Because if I did, as like as not they'd start checking up in the files, the way they always do, and they'd find the handbills that were sent out from Oklahoma years ago—‘Wanted: For Murder,’ with a photograph, description, and everything. “I’d be sent back to Oklahoma, and just as sure as you’re a foot high I'd be sent up. So, when I found out about this up in Dover, I—well, I got panicky.” He looked at her and grinned tuefully. “Asa matter of fact. I’d been in a movie that Friday afternoon,” he went on. “But who’d have believed me? How could I have proved it? I couldn’t have. I went all alone. There wasn’t one chance in a hundred the cashier or any of the ushers would've remembered seeing me. I’d have been out of luck. “So—l took advantage of you. You didn’t remember what day we’d been out together, and it was too easy. And that fellow at the boathouse, he didn’t remember either. I went out to see him, and I had him talked into thinking it had all happened on Friday, instead of Thursday, before he knew what was going on.” He paused and looked at her soberly. “I ask your pardon for having lied to you and got you mixed up in it,” he said solemnly* “Can you forgive me?” Pity welled up in her. She squeezed his hand and said, “Oh, Sandy, of course! But why didn’t you tell me?” “I should have,” he admitted. “I wish I had. You see. I”—his eyes burned into hers —“I was afraid you'd not want to see me again, if you knew about this Oklahoma business.” “But it wasn’t your fault!” she protested eagerly. “I mean, it wasn't anything criminal.” “I know. But I couldn’t be sure you'd look at it that, way.” He stared down at the brown water of the river. “You poor boy.” she said softly, after a pause. “Is this—this thing always going to be hanging over you?” a a a HE looked up and brightened. “Oh, I forgot to tell you about that part of It,” he said. “You see, I told Mr. Montague all about it. He'd handled some legal business for a friend of mine, was how I happened to hear about him and go to him. Well, I told him the whole story—not about how I’d deceived you; T mean about the mixup in Oklahoma—and while he agreed that I couldn’t afford to be arrested just then, he said there was nothing to worry about in the long run. “He said he'd put a private de-

tective agency to work, digging up evidence, and he was sure he could get enough proof to convince the authorities back there of the trutn of the matter. He s got these people working on it now. Before the end of the summer it ought to be all cleared up. Then I can come and go like anybody else, with nothing to be afraid of.” He squared his shoulders and threw his head back, and Jean gave a sigh of relief. “Sandy!” she said. “Im so glad.” She did not stop to analyze her emotion, to figure out why this last bit of news was like the lifting of a weight from her heart. She did not realize that subconsciously she was thinking, “I’d never dare marry a man who had something like that hanging over him”; nor did she realize ihat the wave of happiness that came over her at the promise chat the affair would be cleaned up presently might mean that she would be ready to marry this particular man, after all. Sandy looked around. The bench was secluded by clumps of bushes and trees, and the park was deserted as only a small-town park in the midwest can be deserted. He put his arm about her shouldtars; almost imperceptibly, she nestled against it. “Then you don’t mind my—lying to you?” he said softly. She looked at him and smiled. “Not any more,” she said. “I was awfully mad when I first discovered it. But I don’t care now.” “Sure?” “Sure.” “You’re wonderful. I'm going to ask you the same thing I asked you the other day. Will you marry me?” a a a CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Sandy asked her to F * marry him, Jean looked at him for a long time without replying. Then she said slowly, “Sandy —l’m an awful coward.” “How you mean?” “Well,” she faltered, then went on. “I—l just couldn’t become a man’s wife when a thing like this—4liis Oklahoma mixup was still hanging over his head. I couldn't, Sandy. Don’t you see? A marriage would be too—too uncertain, that way.” She looked at him anxiously. He nodded agreement. “Sure, I see,” he said. “I dSh’t blame you for feeling that way. But listen; suppose that gets all cleared up, like Mr. Montague says it will. Will you, then?” There was another long * pause. Jean tried to stand off and get a look at her feeling for Sandy against this new background of Maplehurst rather than the old one of Dover; she tried to remember that it was Bobby she was supposed to be in love with, and not Sandy; but none of it was much use. She was only conscious of his compelling masculine presence beside her, of his arm across her shoulder, of his face close to hers, with that oldtime, half-mocking curve to the lips and that old-time, care-free glint to the eyes. “Yes,” she whispered at last.

was out before she knew that she was going to say it; and as she heard! herself say it, she felt a sudden pang in her breast, as if she had said something that she had meant not to say. and wished that she could recall it. But then Sandy's lips were on hers, and she was pressed against him with that lean, muscular arm tight about her . . . and there was no room for any doubts or regrets. a a a TTTHEN he released her, at last, ’ * she suddenly remembered that they were sitting in a public place in broad daylight; and she detached herself from his embrace as nervously as a frightend high school girl. “Sandy!” she cried, looking about her anxiously. “The whole town is apt to see us!” “What of it?” asked Sandy, grinning broadly. There was a good foot of daylight between them now, and he made no attempt to close the gap. Instead he got out a cigaret. and lighted it. “What of it? You’ve lived in a small town and you ask that? Don’t you know that everybody in the place would be jabbering about it by evening? I wouldn’t have a shred of reputation left.” “Well,” said Sandy lazily, “where's the harm in kissing your future husband, anyhow?” “Yes, but—but they don’t know about that part of it.” “Why not tell ’em?” (To Be Continued)

PERMITS MADE TARGET IN NEW LM DRIVE State Excise Administrator, Out to Get Results, Demands Action. “If we can’t obtain enforcement of the liquor law in the courts, we’ll enforce it by permit revocation,” Paul Fry, state excise administrator, said today. Mr. Fry referred to a recent decision by Municipal Judge Charles J. Karabell holding that it is not unlawful to give away alcoholic beverages on Sunday, which an Illinoisst tavern operator had done in connection with the sale of food. The liquor law prohibits the sale of liquor on Sunday. Mr. Fry said that “if Judge Karabell’s decision holds water, the closing provision of the state liquor law means nothing.” The excise administrator said he believed the law was specific in prohibiting either sale or gift of liquor. HIDES PAPER IN EAR Six-Year-Old Boy Then Visits Hospital for Operation.
