1t was coarsely said. Words and

In an excess of emotion the manager

scream she beat his face with both her

"That will do" spoke calm but
masterful voice, and Armitage was
hurled to the other end of the room.

The next step Is to treat this mass

For long time the problem of spin

which the threads persisted in slipping

of the supreme court on the status OF

moment whether the highest judicial
body should uphold the view Of the
administration that the constitution
sanctioned the possession of colonies
which were not granted full represen-

and forecasts of the. color of the deci-
sion, and these added to the tension
felt at Washington. Shortly before
