We know nothing of Loren Garde, son of the wealthy Senor Garde of New Orleans. friend of Andrew Jackson." I was silent for the simple reason that 1 had nothing to say. for I knew that his stand might seem a logical thing. “For what purpose did the Senorlta Lamartina visit you todayF “She came to offer me an invitation to her wedding.” He snarled. “Poes the droll Americano imagine that the noble lady of Spain might tore hlnaF “Ona never knows.” “Yet, loving you. why should she wed me?" “A question.

"Carraca!" he cried, reaching for a weapon as 1 swung upon his Jaw. the bitterness that was in my heart finding full expression In violent action. He fell back against the wall, his right hand came up sylftly, bearing a pistol, but 1 struck his elbow and the gun-clattered to the floor. Now, holding him against the wall with my left hand at his throat 1 drew back my right arm. “1 have dreamed of a time when I should get my fingers on that fat neck of thine. Adolfo, and hold them there until the breath shall leave thy body; 1 have pictured that cynical face of thine as a punch-ing-bag for my fist—sol” He cried out In pain at my blow. “The Senorlta told me this afternoon.

But my little minute was over all too quickly, for the guards rushed In and dragged tne away from him.

Institution for Study of Human Intelligence

The most curious museum In the world Is In Vienna. It Is attached to a scientific Institute for the study of human intelligence and Its exhibits consist entirely of brains. Already the museum contains the brains of many men who achieved great eminence in their day. and nearly 1.000 persons now living have bequeathed their brains to 1L The brain of the average European man weighs about forty-five ounces, and that of a woman forty ounces. Generally speaking, the more Intellectual its owner the heavier the brain. Byron's brain weighed 60 ounces. Kant's 55. and that of the great Russian. Turgenfev, 67 ounces. The weight of the brain can be calculated with extraordinary accuracy from measurements of the skull. It has thus been possible to find how many types of primitive men compared. as regards brains, with human beings of today; “Missing links,” such as the ape-man of Java, the Pekin man. and the Piltdown man. bad very light brains; but the people who lived Victoria** Weren’t So Prim The Victorians, who are accused of primness, had much all-round extravagance.

If you would win your freedom you will tell us whither she has gone; If not the morrow shall find you facing a firing squad.” ! o I knew Adolfo would never keep his word, even had I been able to give him any information. “If the Senorlta does not care to keep you advised of her plans, surely you cannot expect me—” “Very well," he said; “we will place you for the night in a safe little cage that we may count On finding you tomorrow morning." So. with four guards on each side ami Colonel Fuentes bringing up the rear, we marched out of the bouse of Tomas Carrasco, crossed the patio, and bent our steps toward the gloomy pile of weathered stone whose dun-geon-like chambers had held so many unfortunates. CHAPTER VI A Silver Night As we marched along my mind was filled with sad uncertainties, grim forebodings. regrets for half-accomplished tasks. I would have like to live to see the Independence of Venezuela, and I found myself wishing tha, I might have been spared to meet the Liberator. Simon Bolivar, the extraordinary man who had instilled In thk hearts of his people a deathless love of Independence. And I wanted to see the Senorlta again, to tell her of my love. How could she have covered up so completely all the signs of her escape? The city of Caracas was new to her. To have left Caracas would have been tp leave a trail that anyone might have followed, and to have secreted herself in the city . . . The thing was impossible, for- the men of La Torre could have searched every corner of it In an hour. Even Polito was in the dark. As we approached the menage of Pedro Carrlzal sounds of hilarity came from the Interior—loud laughter and snatches of song. We had come opposite when the door flew open and a man stood, swaying, in the lighted way. Wheti he saw us he uttered a wild yell and toppled forward to the sidewalk. Even as the soldiers roared In high glee over the fall of the tipsy celebrant a torrent of men poured from the opened doorway and fell upon my guards before they could bring their<guns to bear. J I turned to meet Adolfo, whose pistol pointed at my head”. My outflung fingers found his wrist, and thrust his arm high as be sent a harmless bullet Into the air, then I drove a fist Into his broad face. Ah. the tingling Joy It gave tne! He went down and I threw myself upon him, fingers groping for hlsrthroat. Adolfo cried aloud, he swore, he gasped, he writhed. He clawed} vainly at my wrists, and kicked, and twisted his unwieldy body. I -heard a shrill voice shrieking anathemas, a rasping voice that was my own, jand It gave me a grievous shock that I had fallen so low. Hands were laid upon my shoulders dragging me from my victim. “Let me alone." I cried, “let me kill him!" ’ "No. Senor." “Manuel!" 1 leaped to my feet. “Comer-come quickly," He caught my arm and led me away. "But we must help them.” lie laughed shortly. "Not at all, they need no. help; it Is the Soldiers who will be crying for aid.” We ran swiftly for three minutes and stopped in a darkened alley where Manuel opened a package which had beea -secreted under a shed. dlscloa Inga uniform. "Put It on quickly, Senor; in two minutes you must be s captain in his majesty's service." (TO BS CONTINUED.)

News Review of Current Events the World Over • ' • ■ Mrs. Putnam’s Great Solo Flight Across the Atlantic— House Rejects Legalized Beer —Hoover Against Democratic Relief Plans. By EDWARD W. PICKARD

EXACTLY five years after Charles A. Lindbergh completed his epochmaking flight from New York to Paris, Amelia Earhart, who is now Mrs. G.

P. Putnam, landed in Ireland after the first solo flight across -the Atlantic ever made by a woman. The intrepid young aviator had started for Paris, but a burned out exhaust manifold and other motor trouble led her to descend at Cuimore near Londonderry. She had made the distance from Harbor Grace. N. F., in 14 hours and 54 riiinutes.

Mr*. G. P. Putnam

and landed without injury to .herself or her plane. It was her second crossing of the ocean by plane, but the Other time, in 1925, she was merely a passenger with Wilmer Stulz and Lou Gordon. ”1 made this flight Just for fun," said Mrs. Putnam after landing, and she admitted her achievement meant nothing to aviation. Nevertheless, she was the recipient of innumerable congratulatory messages, from President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald among others, and when she flew on to I.ondon in a borrowed plane she was given a great ovation. She was the guest of Ambassador Mellon who. with members of his embassy staff, met her at the Hanworth airdrome. Mrs. Putnam said she was going to Paris and would leave Europe for home about J tjne ft. Besides being the first woman to fly the Atlantic alone, this young American girl set a new speed record for the crossing and also bettered the distance record for women set by Ruth Nichols at 1.977. G miles. Her distance was 2.026,5 in i les. . LEGALIZED beer lost another fight, arid wotflt have a chance again until the • national conventions meet In June and go into spasms over the wet and dry planks for their platforms. Following the example set by the senate, the house rejected the O'Connor Hull resolutiofi legalizing and taxing 2.75 per cent beer. The vote was 16ft to 228, and technically was on the motion to discharge the ways and means committee from further consideration of the bill.'which carried would have brought the measure before the house. The two parties were nearly evenly the vote.' Apparently the wets had lost 18 votes since March 14, when the house rejected a resolution for resubmission of the Eighteenth amendment, but Representative Rainey explained that the shift meant some anti-prohibitlbn-Ists had realized that their only logical move is to continue the fight for resubmission,. St»ME peculiar things are resulting ftom the prohibition controversy. The Democrats of Texas, formerly very dry. in .their state convention adoptinl a resolution proposing resubmission of the Eighteenth amendment to the states. The measure was carried by a vote of «cfl to 564 after what amounted almost to a riot. President Hoover. It was reliably reported In Washington, abandoned his attitude of aloofness and took an active part in framing a. mildly moist planl; for the Republican national platform, so mild that it probably would not seriously offend the drys and probably would not satisfy 'the wets. Deets Pickett, Democrat ami dry leader among the Methodist reformers; announced that Franklin. Roos.-velt's nioderntelv wet pronouncement wotihj be satisfactory _to the" dry I>emocrats be-ause that probably was as far as he ever woubl go. SENATOR WILLIAM E. BORAH of Idaho says he Is not going to attend the Republican national convention, and there are indications that be will sulk in his tent throughout the campaign. His <l.-termination to stay away from the gathering in Chicago was something of a blow to the drys, who had counted on him to lead their force* In the convention and. to introduce their dry plank. PRESIDENT HOOVER voiced his opposition to the Democratic proposals of big government bond Issues for construction of federal public works as a measure for relief of unemployment. In the same statement from the Whit* House he further urged his own plan of legislation to permit loans by the reconstruction finance corporation to states for relief of destitution and to public and private agencies for Income-producing projects. Huge outlays for federal public buildings and similar works he said would be wasteful and destructive of the public confidence essentia! to economic recovery. The Democratic leaders Indicated they would fight the President on this issue even at the risk of prolonging the session of congress, which already appears likely to run on until after the nationalconventions have been held. Senator Barbour of New Jersey. Republican. introduced a bill carrying out Mr. Hoover’s Ideas. It would provide the reconstruction finance corporation with $1,500,000,000 additional capital for loans for self-liquidating projects that would furnish jobs for the unemployed. Senator Bronson Cutting, the “progressive" Republican from New Mexico, followed with a bill providing for sust the kind of relief aid which the President had opposed, and in introducing It Cutting made a caustic attack on Mr. Hoover. The Cutting bill carries three billion dollars for road

construction and two billions for rivers and harbors work as well as public buildings and other federal works. The fact that President Hoover made his views known through a letter to H. S. Crocker, president of the American Society of Engineers, vexed the s Democrats considerably. Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois declared this was a gesture of “disdain and contempt" of congress. COMMITTEE hearings on Representative Fred Britten's bill to place the Hawaiian islands, under an army or navy commission begiin and attracted a large number of witnesses and spectators. Among the former was Mrs. Granville Fortescue, mother-in-law of I.ieut. Thomas Massie afid his co-defendant in the recent sensational murder trial in Honolulu. Testimony was heard from Gen. Douglas’ MacArthur, chief of staff; other army and navy officers, and Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent. UM-EVEN men of great national prora•l—4 inence sent to the Republican arid Democratic leaders of the senate and house an earnest appeal to “lay aside every form of parti-

sanship” -and, with their party followers, to unite to balance the federal budget. The signers of this letter were: Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, Republican-; Alfred E. Smith, Democratic candidate for the Presidency in lft2B; Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland,

Democrat; Gov. Wilbur L. Cross of Connecticut, Democrat: Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts, Democrat: Alanson B. Houghton of New York, Republican ; Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Republican; William IL Crocker of Sun Francisco, member of Republican national committee; Charles Nagel of St. Louis, Republican; Roland S. Morris of Philadelphia. Democrat, and John Grier Hibben, retiring president of Princeton university. Republican. f Following is the text of their letter : “Gentlemen: The undersigned view with so much concern the possible.ef-/ feet upon our social and political insGf tutions of the grave economic ami financial problems which confront the American pebple that, on behalf of vast numbers of our fellow citizens, we appeal through you to the members of the senate and of the house of representatives to lay aside every form of partisanship and of possible partisan advantage and quickly to ' unite to adopt a balanced federal budget for the coming fiscal year, as well as to enact a plan of taxation which shall be economically sound, fair to every group and balling, and without discrimination or privilege or class or sectional advantage of any kind.” . Replies from the party leaders were prompt but scarcely satisfying. Senator Jim Watson, majority leader of the senate, said : “The letter is three months too iate. We have done everything they saiggest toward a balanced budget, but we are hindered by special interests. There have been no signs of partisanship at any time.” Senator Harrison of Mississippi. Democratic floor leader on the tax bill, said: “There has been no partisanship in the house or senate on the problem of balancing the budget. This hm-l.ition' will be achieved without any spirit of partisanship.” Other senators took occasion to praise themselves 4 and their opponents for nonpartisan and wise action, and then all went ahead with their scrapping over the tariff features of the revenue bill. ■ - ' PRESIDENT P. B. CAREY of the . Chicago Board of Trade went down to Washington and conferred with Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, and took occasion to make the fiercest attack on the federal farm board and its doings that has been heard. He called the board’s record a “ghastly smear" and said its result had been the almost complete abolishment of the open, competitive market which required 75 years to establish. He declared wheat could and would advance If the board were forced by congress to deslsf at once from its “senseless efforts,” and said he could appoint a committee of six members of the Chicago Board of Trade who “in a short time, and with absolutely no drain on the taxpayer, could and would dispose of all the, government wheat for cash at a steadily advancing price with! the inevitable favorable reflection on the general condition of the country.” Mr. Carey selected a rather unfavorable time for his stack. Inasmuch as just then the wheat market showed a decided tendency toward higher prices. J. C. Stone, chairman of the farm board, seized his advantage and replied sharply to Mr. Carey’s assault He said:’ ’Wheat Is the only great major commodity which for the last five months has shown a definite upward tendency. Its Influence under the present favorable statistical position may well lead other commodities to higher ground. That opportunity will not be risked in the. hands of the people In a group representing those who have grown rich from the profits gained by market manipulation.” Mr. Stone challenged the Chicago “grain gamblers,” as he called them, to explain how it Is that wheat has been held from 5 to 15 cents a bushel above the world market; this, he averred, is the result; of the farm board policies.

SOCIALISTS, meeting in national convention in Milwaukee, nominated Norman H. Thomas of New York for President and James H. Maurer of Pennsylvania for second place on the ticket, Mr. Thomas, who was the party's candidate in 1928, said his campaign would be u war against the Republican and Democratic parties and against "the kingdom of poverty.” Before the nomination, which was by acclamation, Mr. Thomas defeated an attempt to commit the Socialist party to confiscation of the principal industries of the nation. Mrs. Victor Berger of Milwaukee declined the nomination for Vice President, so Mr; Maurer was chosen by acclamation. * The Communist party was to hold its convention in Chicago May 28 and 29, and there seemed no doubt that it would nominate William Z. Foster for President and James W‘. Ford of Alabama, a negro, for Vice President. SAMUEL SEABURY has been, making things exceedingly uncomfortable for Mayor James J. Walker of New York in the investigation of metropolitan politics and

bonds, for which he had not paid, from J. A. Sisto, when the latter's company was seeking stricter municipal control of taxicabs. How he happened to with him to Europe in 1927 a SIO,OW letter of credit which had been purchased for cash by J. Allan Smith, a promoter of~ the Equitable Coach company, who Later made good a $3,000 overdraft.„ Why William J. Scanlan's payments to Dr. William Walker, the mayor's brother, for medical services were usually 50 per cent of the commissions Scanlan received for sales of equipment to the street cleaning department and the department of sanitation. Why Scanlan’s cheek for $6,000. part of a commission paid on the sale of material to the city, was found In the bank account of Walker’s missing fiscal agent. Russell T. SherwOod. To explain the $15,000 in fees paid him through Sherwood for "legal fees" by a corporation which had Its own regular attorneys. e The relationship between himself and; Senator John A.. Hastings of Brooklyn, who it has been indicated, was interested in the Equitable Coachcompany and the application of a Queens Bus company that was a more recent applicant for a franchise. His financial transactions, his bank deposits and expenditures. Early in the week It became known that the federal authorities hafl become interested in the revelations and were investigating Mayor Walker’s status as an Income taxpayer for the years 1928 and 1929. k 1 DR.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Rewards of Faithfulness. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Religious Value cif Work. Joseph was not a self-made man, but a God-made man. His masters always attributed the quality of his character and the success of his work to the fact that the Lord was with him. I. Joseph Serving Potiphar (39:120). 1. Sold to the Ishmaelites (37:28). Joseph was sent by his father to his brethren on an errand of mercy. At the sight of Joseph thb murderous envy of his brethren wa[s stirred up. They first proposed to kill him in order to his dreams from coming true. Finally the prudent suggestion of Judah to sell him prevailed. and he was carried to Egypt and sold as a slave to potiphar. 2. His prosperity while a Slave In Potlphar’s house (39:2-6). This prosperity consisted of: J a. Being accorded the privilege of Potiphar’s house. By “house" Is meant his private residence instead of fields or public buildings. b. He became Potlphar’s personal attendant (v. 4). c. lie was made overseer of Potiphar's house (v. 4). J., d. He brought prosperity to Pottphar (v. 5). The Lord biassed Potiphar for Joseph’s sake. e. He possessed an attractive personality (v. 6.) His fine physique and commanding personality were gifts from God. 3. Bis temptation (w. 7-20). Pottphar’s wife- became Infatuated with this handsome slave. He resisted per advances because yielding would have been to sin against his master and his God. . 11. Joseph Serving In Prison (39:2140:23). 1. Overseeing the prisoners (39:2140:4). Being defeated In her .wicked purpose, Potiphar’s wife accused Joseph falsely, Potiphar must not have really believed his wife’s story, or he would have put Joseph so death. He Imprisoned him, [ the least that was possible under the Circumstances. a. The Lord gave him favor In the , sight of the keeper of the prison (v. 21). This keeper was none other than Potiphar himself WO:3. cf. 39:1). b. He was given charge of the prisoners (v. 22). Potiphar knew Joseph’s ability and faithfulness, therefore gave him employment of the most important kind. c. The Lord made him to be prosperous (v. 23). Joseph’s success was due to the hand of God upon him. 2. Interpreting thk dreams of the butlef and the baker (40:5-23). These were two very important officers in Pharaoh’s court. thClri business being to provide the drink and food of the ruler and his household. These officers had disturbing dreams. He interpreted their dreams. His interpretation was favorlaWe to the butler, who gave his pledge to Joseph that he would intercede with Pharaoh for him when he sas set free. 111. Joseph Serving Pharaoh (41:157). ‘ 'F J ' ■ 1. Interpreting his dream, (vv. 1-32).V For two full years Joseph remained In prison, forgotten by the butler. Pharaoh’s dream brought to Joseph a great opportunity. The failure of the wise men of Egypt to Interpret the dream caused the chief butler to remember what Joseph had done for him. Joseph wa.s brought out of prison and made- known to Pharaoh that it meant-seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. 2. Advising Pharaoh (vv. 33-36). He suggested to him that part of the produce be storeji during the years of plenty. The j plan appealed to Pharaoh as being feasible, and he Invested Joseph with authority to execute It. . i - 3. Preparing for famine (vv. 37-52). During the seven years . the earth brought forth plentifully.
