Fe GLAMOROUS ADVENTURE Si Club's | ance Is c Is Tonight

by Jean Seivwright

BEGIN HERE TODAY Gall Everett, winner of a prize for costume design offered by a large silk manufaeturing company, comes to New York to find work. She is hired—due to a stroke of luck—by Madame Lizeite, proprietor of an exclusive shop. Madame prives temperamental and difficult to work for. Derek Hargreaves, young artist, is interested in Gail, and offers her friendly advice. Frequlently Gail sees Dick Searles, whose sister was her roommate at school. She also becomes acquainted with Natalie Preston who, under a mask of friendliness, makes shrewd plans te advance her own interests. Meanwhile, in Arizona, Mark Chapman has an automobile accident, is picked up and cared for by old Jed Hoskeer. Mark, long a wanderer, has returned to see his old home. He learns that the ranch, formerly owned by his brother-in-law, Peter Everett, is in the hands of the Travers Mining Co. and suspects the deal may be erooked. Mark does not know the whereabouts of his niece, Gail. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

# CHAPTER TEN EX HALL glanced impatiently at the letter on his desk. Why did his mother persist in writing about all the tiresome details of her business? What did he care how many new designers she had, or what their names were? Why did she always have to see coinéidences in everything? If only she would stop insisting on his writing a weekly letter, telling her exactly what he was doing! Red had plenty on his mind just now. More than once he'd felt like chucking his job—but the thought of going back to New York to be a sort of floorman-manager in _his mother’s dress shop was more than he could stand. He smiled wryly as he thought of Madame Lizette’s! Stuffing the letter—half-read— into his pocket, he studied his papers on his desk. But again his thought reverted to his own affairs. He'd never liked the job, working in one of the Arizona offices of the Travers Mining and Development Co, in spite of the hand-| | some salary he received.

HE smiled bitterly and there were hard lines on his young face. Rex Hall's dream of happiness was to be a sculptor, but his moneygrasping mother had no sympathy with his dreams, and had, through her connection with Mrs. Travers, Sestred the appointment for jg ex's job was not a hard ' one, dawdling about the office, looking at reports and going out to lawyers’ offices to sign his name to deeds. That was what galled him. He was just a dummy for the

ter—an inveterate gambler—had decided to take one more chance.

2 8 ” O on his instructions, Rex had turned old Jed Hoskeer out ‘of the Rancho Angelo; had finally con-

vinced Jed he must go and had shown him the deed of transfer whereby Peter Everett had sold the place to the Travers Mining and Development Co. Rex had felt sort of sorry for the old man, but he'd done his job. He hadn't raised any objection when Dan Draffen, the man the firm put in to look after the ranch, informed him that he allowed old Jed Hoskeer to stay in a shack on the ranch. The old man couldn’t do any harm in spite ‘of his threats. - But now—Rex had discovered that the deed was a fake. He glanced up quickly as his desk phone rang. Automatically taking

up the receiver, he heard the oper-|“

ator say, “Will you please go into Mr. Harrison's office at once?”

# ® bi

EX rose from his desk, and walked along the corridor. Bert Harrison was the head of the local office. “Ive just heard from that there's a stranger staying with Hoskeer. Do you know anything about that?” “No, it's news to me.” “He says he thinks this man has some interest in the Rancho Angelo . . . maybe abetting Hoskeer. How does the property stand?” . - Rex cleared his throat. Harrison laughed cynically. “I'll say it for you—Travers simply seized that property by fraud. But we've got to have it. Have you any suggestions as to what we should do? Have you ever heard whether or not Everett left any heirs?” : “I don’t know, but if he did they'd be in the East, I'd say.”

HATS so. Well, you better call up the New Fork office. Have them put an advertisement in the classified columns—a blind ad, for we don’t want any one to khow about the /Travers connection—and see what that brings. Meantime, keep your eyes and ears open. Msybe you'd better take a run up to the ranch and see if you can find out anything more from Draffen— or even the stranger.” quick nod Harrison dismissed him. Out in the open, riding toward the Rancho Angelo, Rex felt his spirits rising. Looking around, he marveled at the fantastic beauty of the country, so different from New

If it won't be too much trouble I'd like to :have dinner- with you.” “That's: fine.” Draffen stepped into’ the kitchen again while old Hoskeer ‘led the horse to the stable. Ovér the simple meal the men talked casually about the weather; politics, and some of the local happenings. Rex felt he was getting nowhere, so at last he turned to the stranger. “Are you thinking of settling here?” he questioned. Mark spoke slowly, “I don’t know. Guess if I hadn't had that accident I'd be a long way from here by this time. Still it seems real pleasant around here. I might stay for a bit if I could make some arrangements about living quarters.” “Youre welcome to stay with me as long as you like, if you can stand the poor accommodations,” said Jed, helping himself to another slab of pie. * n 8 : OU don't need to call’ them poor. I've been in lots of queer places in my travels.” Mark

began to tell them about some of his experjences. cor The. smoke from thelr . pipes filled the room with a -pleasant aroma, while the talk and laughter banished the silence that lingered so often in the old ranch house. Suddenly Rex rose. “I've got to get back to town. “Guess I'd better be pushing along. If youre in town any day be sure to come and see me,” he said to Mark. Draffen walked with him to the door while Jed hurried on to put the saddle on his horse. As the two men followed him to the stable Rex said, “What d’ye know ‘about Mark?” “Nothing! Seems like an interesting sort of chap, pays his way. I thought at first maybe he had his eye on the ranch—found him walking along some of the trails. I guess 1 was mistaken.” shrugged his shoulders.

before this Jed Hoskeer had told the stranger all .he knew about him. Turning his mount over to the stable boy at- the Rogosa stables, Reéx walked the long block to his apartment.

Can't Leave

Fate to Men, !

Woman Says

Revolt Against Dictating Personal Lives Cited by Historian.

By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, May 30.—The dictators of Europe have regimented industry and labor but they have. not been able to reduce women to the point where they bear children at the demand of the governe ment, according to Mrs. Mary R. Beard, historian. Mrs. Beard told delegates to the National Conference of Social Work that the German Nazi campaign to step up the birth rate had failed dismally and that in Italy the wom=

‘en had refused to produce for Mus-

golini the “million _ babies upon whom he had calculated.” The women of the United States and Russia have also rebelled against -eftorts to establish dictatorships over their personal lives, she said. “Women,” said Mrs. Beard, “cane not leave their fate entirely to men, even the best of men, any mors than men can leave their fate entirly to women. Petticoat government, however assiduously one.may try to ignore it, condemn it or jest about it, has always been as real as pantaloon government. /

Cites Men's Error

“Where pantaloon government made its error,” she continued, “was in demanding obedience rather than in asking co-operation. The _delegates were to hear Dr, Harold W. Dodds, Princeton Unie, versity president, speak on “Gov-

ernment and the Common: Welfare.” -

The Civilian Conservation Corps is a ‘powerful factor in helping youth “find itself” and should be continued as & permanent part of the nation's educational system, Howard W. Oxley, director of CCO camp education, told the conference. “There is a great future for the work of the CCC among American youth,” he said. “Providing as it does a combined program of traine ing and work designed to meet individual needs and affording an upportunity at practical experience, the corps should become an integral part of the educational system.” “It'can serve to aid materially our public schools and colleges by broad= ening the type of training offered youth and by supplying them work experience.”

Curb to Delinquency

Mr. Oxley argued that “the CCC can increasingly serve this country as a formidable device for reducing juvenile delinquency and crime” and pointed out that youth’s one-third share in the nation’s $15,000,000,000 annual crime bill would maintain the CCC for more than 15 years. Harrison Allen Dobbs, - associate professor of social economy at the University of Chicago, said that “well meaning but poorly qualified judges in many smaller juvenile courts, and perhaps some larger ones, have seriously harmed many children who were not understood by them.” Dobbs, who is president of the i inois Coriference on Social Welfare, suggested improvements in correctional school training, "involving, early correction of mistakes in com=mitments by the courts through psychiatric study; more child guidance clinics and the assumption of responsibility for the child. Lorraine H. Jennrich of the Mile waukee (Wis.) Family Welfare Association, said experiments in provide ing “mother substitutes” for house=holds where there is no wife “make possible the preservation of family life, which is generally conceded to be an essential factor in developing the individual.”
