phrase.
During preparation of his acceptance speech, Mr. Hoover has ^had as a White House guest Henry M. Robinson, Los Angeles banker, whose judgment on financial and economic policies the President trusts probably above that of any other man. Proofs of the speech are now in the hands of advisors for revision and suggestions. They are giving every phrase the third degree. No promises to abolish poverty will slip by this time Mr. Hoover will appeal to the “new poor”—bankers, bu-ines- men, and $20,000 executive of 1029 who are now drawing $'>.000 and less, if anything. He wdl ippeal to those who have lauded his driving out of the bonus army a.- a master stroke against a threatened communist up-
rising.

Of Costly Fire
1'IVF. million dollar con FLAGR \HON SWKKPS TWO CITY BLOCKS CHK VGO, Aug. 5, (UP) Nearly half Chicago’s fire-fighting forcepoured tons of water today on the fiery embers of a conflagration that swept two square blocks and did damage estimated at nearly $5,000,000. Fifteen persons were injured, none seriously, in the fire which blazed in the heart of a packing house district and was one of the worst Chicago had seen in 26 years. Flames starting in a large grain elevator, presumably as a result of a dust explosion, rushed forward on a block long front. The huge parking plant of the Omaha Packing Co., was wipe I out. Hundreds of hogs, cuttle and sheep w-crc destroyed as were tons of packed meat. The fire jumpe 1 to a coal yard and licked across the Chicago river to consume a yacht and a fishing smack anchored there. Warehouses and of-
fice buildings were destroyed. ’ Heat from the fire was so intense firemen were forced to work at long distance. A block to windward of the >. it Wt id spectator* were driven back. Thir thousand |>eopl(. watched the conflagration, attracted by a mighty •tower of flame and smoke that was visible from the loop, many blocks distant. Traffic about the stricken area was hatted. Small store keepers in the area handed out their wares to passersby convinced their shops could not be saved from the rush of flames, Search of the district for po.-sible victims wa* to be made as soon as flames died down in the ruins. Many narrow escapes from death were reported but so far a police coul I determi: e none were missing.

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE The wives of John and Ernest dssed everybody, thanked Bess for he lovely supper. "Well, let's get along,” Bess’ hus<and said. “I got four cows to eilk, besides the regular chores.” They were all a little reluctant to eave the old house. It seemed so tinny, to lock it up. It had never teen locked, while mother lived. “I hope the cat stays with Mrs. lurpec all right, and don’t come •tinning back here,” Bess worried. 'I’ll have to get somebody to keep he garden watered till the rains (tart. You can’t depend on dad my more.” “Now if there’s anything I ran V» for any of you, just call on me!” aid the minister’s wife, with a last, ingering look at Lily Lou. “Well, get in, girls,” Raymourl aid. Lily Lou waited two days more. “I must say you’ve gotten nor rous. You never used to be lid»ety,” May said. "And I don’t un lerstand your not wanting to sing (or us. That was one thing none of as would stand for when you were i kid. We couldn’t stand these don’t wanner’ kids. I must say, you were always ready to sing play then!” “It's just because I’m so tired, and a coloratura voice is so delicate. To sing when you’re tired—” Raymond and May exchanged glances: “What did I tell you? High hat, Uready!” they seemed to say. They took her to call on Irene who was visiting h< r husband's mother, in San Francisco. Lily Lou would hardly have known her, she was so changed. So much more attractive. Pli^ip, laughing and happy. Lily Ix>u could have bit off her tongue, it was so hard to keep from telling about the bubchen, as she beld Irene's tiny girl on her lap, ran her fingers through the flaxen curls. That night she asked Raymond to make her reservations for the next day. “I must get hark,” she told them. "I know that it seems such a short visit, for such a long trip, but I’ve got to get hack. I've a feeling that I've been away too long already.” May and Ray exchanged glances •gain. Because there was nothing more to say, and she was afraid of saying too much, she picked up the evening paper, turned its pages idly. Staring out of the society section was the face that had haunted her, that had never been really out her thoughts for months. “Peggy Sage has her picture the paper again.” “I wouldn’t be surprised,” May said, without looking up. “It's poor week that she doesn’t get it in once.” “Miss Peggy Sage, daughter Captain and Mrs. Vincent Sage whose wedding to Mr. Claude Orfington Newman will be an event of early autumn. , . .” Peggy, going to marry Claude Orfington Newman. Then, she couldn’t be going marry Ken . . . not that it mattered, of course. “May, wasn’t she engaged to my ex-husband?” “Who, the Sage girl? Oh, ye*. Heavens, it was all over all the papers. Didn’t I send you them ? meant to. I thought that at least he might have waited a decent interval! Well, you can be darn glad you got out of THAT, Lily Lou. He did the same thing to Peggy he did to you. He—” Lily Lou turned her face from the light. “He—what? What c he do?” “Didn’t I send you the papers? meant to. It was the time you were abroad.

used to hash it over and hash it over when any one of us did anything, like being invited to a good party, or having a tooth out. andthie last year has been so ibtferent. Y'our letters postmarked all those foreign places — all those new names: Gwin, Schiarilli, Nahlman, and before that, that woman, Mrs. Manchester, anil your friend Maxine Rochbn— You never wrote anything rer£ about any of them. I don’t know. 1 guess we’ve just drifted apart. 5 ou’ve changed, too. I don’t know ju.*t how, except that you're thinner and wear your hair differently, hut it's deeper than that. You're not the same.” “Well, it’s been a long time,” Lily
Lou said, defensively. Another long silence.
“Y’ou never told me what happened to Ken. I mean, is he still around here? After all — ho was married to me. You can’t blame me for being a little interested." “He isn’t! Not that F expected much of any of that clan. But you’d think at least with mother dying, that they could have at least sent a hunch >>f poison oak. They might have done THAT much—Ken
at least.”
“Maybe he isn’t anywhere around here. Maybe ho went back to South
America.”
“He can go to the South Pole and hang himself on it, for all of me,” May said dryly. “And that’s that.” That’s that. Lily Lou thought about it on the long trip across the country. Every mile brought her nearer to the bubchen, farther from California and the Sage girl and Ken . . . who could hang himself on the South Pole for all of May. . . . “For all of me, too!” she thought, a little bitterly. But she wished May hadn’t told her about him. It had spoiled something . . . disturbed the memory that had been sweet and dim. “I wish I’d never set eyea oa
him!”
Telegraph poles flashed by. White farm houses, with red barns and silos, and fields of yellow stubble. Every mile bringing her nearer the bubchen, nearer to her inters rupted career. ^ -

“But what was it he did?” “Oh! Well, the Sages tried to fix
it so that it would look as though Peggy broke the engagement, but Raymond brought home one of those society scandal sheets one of the men at the factory had, and it said that he broke it and left her flat, and it said—hinted you know —about another affair he had -oh, they didn't have your name at all! Thank goodness for that! But about a marriage having been annulled. I said to Raymond at the time, I said ‘Thank fortune WE’RE not dragged into,’ I said. I might not have sent you the scandal sheet because Raymond took it back, I think, hut 1 certainly did get you the other papers and mail them. 1 remember distinctly, thinking at the time that I could just as well put in a little gift and it would get by without duty.

“I didn’t get them. You might
have written—”
“Written! Don’t talk to me about writing. Y’ou never wrote any of us, to amount to anything. I never had anything as unsatisfartory ns your letters from Europe, especially Vienna, a place I’ve always been interested in on account of the Merry Widow, and all those Viennese comedies, and the Blue Danube and all. Really there were times when I—well, I wondered if you ever wont to Europe. I know that Raymond doubted it sometimes.” “I was there all right. My goodness, didn’t I send mother the clippings from the Paris papers when I sang Miraela in Carmen “No. Y’ou said you were going to. But she never got them.” Lily Lou spread her hands—a gesture borrowed, though she did not know it, -from Madame N'ahl-
man.
“Well, l ran’t help that now. It wasn't much of a notice anyway. Just said my 'small voice was sweet and flexible,' and it said I made an appealing ’Micaela or something like that. Nahlman was the whole
