Farm legislation will be requested by the President, frankly disturbed by the possibility of the accumulation of price-depressing surpluses in cotton. Another bumper crop, added to this year’s big yield, he said, might produce a crisis in the South. Beyond these issues lie controveries over the reorganization of the executive branch of the government, the creation of seven "little TVAs” on as many important water sheds, and the perennial battle over antilynching legislation. These things are all holdovers from the session just ended. For new and spectacular business there will be a general overhauling of the Income tax schedules, forecast by the President. On this the experts of the Treasury are already at work. Entering into fill of these controversies will be the battle royal between the "liberal” supporters of the President and the 'conservative" elements of the Democratic party. In the history of this fight last night adjournment .wrote only a comma. The session ended with four Democrats who opposed the court bill defying the administration to come on and do its worst, challenging "anyone anywhere’’ to oust them from the

While Guffv sat silently grim, the four, in turn arose to accuse him of I ' bosstsm.” of every political sin on the calendar and some that are not, in terms that brought from Senator 1Follette, Progressive, Wisconsin, objections that they were transgressing the rules of rebate. Each, with scornful cordiality invited Guffy to come to their respective states when ext they seek re-election and campaign against them on the issue of the court bill. Nothing, said Burke, would do! more to assure his "almost unanimous elecction.

Chapter One
Kleky Morgan was bad. You didn’t have to be a etrict moralist to decide that. But he wasn't vicious. There was something about Ricky's blonde good looks, his clear e; cs and the smile that played about his scraggly mustache that convinced you of that. Ricky had fallen victim to the easy moralizing of poet-war youth. Fresh out of school and with a bleak world staring him in the face, he chose t! easiest way to make money — bootlegging. The adventure appealed to him, too, and now be found himself in some ehellei d cove, helping to unload a weighted down vessel. He tossed the bags up from the hold, while big, stupid Chuck lumbered off with the wet-goods to the cafe where they were sheltered Jim Dial, their partner, was collecting for the delivery in a house behind
the shed.

"Ricky, don’t be a chump. I’ve always played square," Jim spoke But Ricky paid no attention to him, went searching for his coat. Jim followed him to ’^ic d; or, arguing, etaited to 1 e ii coa him. Then with a swift, unexpected motion he ruught Ricky under tho

spoke.
"Three is an odd number,” he said. "Twos company, three's a crowd. Chuck makes a crowd.” His last words were drawn out with a
peculiar significance.
Ricky smiled. "Uh-uh, no llkum double cro. ," was his answer as he
sauntered out.
Three minutes later she had occasion to u member Jim’s insinuation as he felt a bottle bump off his shoulder and whirled in time to meet Chuck’s blind attack. Ricky know who had put the big ox up to his treason, but he had no choice but to meet the onslaught with a stinging rain of punches. A right cau ’ht Chuck under the chin and he crumpled. Then Ricky turnrd on Jim. "You crossed me, Dial.
I'll . . .”
Jim was all ready with his bland excuse. "He must have heard us and got in first,” he spoke. Ricky was bending over Chuck, and with a pounding shock he saw that the man was not breathing. "Chuck! Chuck!" ho cried. Jim came to his side. After a moment’s examination he turned to Ricky and spoke, "You’re in a tough spot, Ricky. He's dead. Your ring did it. Here let me see it." He took the ring from Ricky’s finger and pointed to the cameo, broken across now with one-half missing. That half was presumably in Chuck's jaw. There was a low mechanical wail In the bay, and in an instant, the searchlight of a police boat swung around and pointed toward him. Jim pushed Ricky ahead as they raced for the shelter of the cafe. There was a hastily whispered conference with the manager, and Jim donned an apron and proceeded to act as if he were a waiter. Ricky seized a violin and fell in with the two-man orchestra. The puzzled police did not stay long, and when they were gone, Ricky raced off to find Jim. He was in the back-room of the cafe examining the ring with a look of cunning on his face. "Looks as though your lucky ring has gone back on you,” he ventured. "What do you want it for?” spoke
spoke and slammed the door He paused in the lobby just long enough to phone the police. "It you're looking for the man vena committed that airplane robbery,—" he began. Ricky regained consciousness to hear them pounding on the door. And. just as he swayed to his feet, the door began to crack. He know it was the police, and he knew who had sent them. With a swift motion he puiled open the windows leading to the balcony. There wan a forty toot jump to safety. With one backward glance for his pursuers, he sailed olf into space and landed safely, agilely to rise and sprint off like a cc-t. • • * Ricky roamed tho world and picked up a living with criminal skill. He came to London and while he stood on a corner one afternoon a Rolls Royee hurried by and splashed him. He glanced with annoyance at the occupants, a man and a woman. He could never guess that he was fated to fall in l re with that woman She was Glory Howard, irresistibly lovely and totally unscrupulous. The man was a peer and her cur* rent fiance. They were bound for Monte Carlo where ehe would finish the systematic ruin that she had begun on him. Over the chemin a for tables she would squander his last remaining pounds, while a bland, smiling scoundrel, who called himself “Colonel Fane”, won them. Ricky would have recognized the colon;! as Jim Dial. But Glory, Impressed by his good manners, decided thnt he was fair game. She murmured a few words about a ring he w; j wearing—one with a broken cameo. And ho proffered it to he* with all the gallantry of which he was ca-i-able. At that moment Glory’s fiaura had just shot himself dead In thu office of the syndicate. He had been threatened with arrest unless he made good for the worthless checks.

Sweet corn bushel baskets of it— fresh frofn the field is now being seen in our markets. The average American so thoroughly enjoys corn-on-the-cob that he’ll attack the first of the crop with gusto- and a not too critical taste, says Aneta Beadle, extension nutritionist of Purdue univer-
