BECKY SHARP'S DOUBLE HAS
LEADING ROLE IN NEW NOVEL
Miss Seymour Paints Familiar Character OF
Vampire Without Brains in "Intrusion."

Roberta gets in touch with the
elder brotheT, Allan, who cannot
play with love but must needs
singe his fingers in the torch OF
Hymen.
II Is from the point Of Roberta's
marriage that her advent begins
to loom as a black smudge on the
lives of those around her. Her
deadly beauty. her damnabIe stu
pidity. her ceaseless silly decep,
tions assume the proportions of
the cloud that was, at first. no
larger than a mans hand" Her
platform is mo childrens no work"
As for poor Allan he thrashes
around hopelessly in the net.
There are firtations, fibs. alibis,
creeping suspicion. The thing
never stops. 1t keeps on and on.
Roberta even has to carry on an
affair" with Dick, the rance of her
husbands sister. Caryl. While
week-ending with Dick she is
killed and Dick injured In a motor
cycle accident. Even In her death,
Roberta has robbed little Caryl of
her belief in her first love.
To her work Miss Seymour has
brought more than the technique
of storytelling, She frequently
shows lightning-like bits of vision.
One such is her description Of AL
lan's feeling toward the house
where he had lived with Roberta,
He hated the rooms in which he
had loved and despaired: they
seemed to be permeated with the
very essence of his bitter humilia-
tion.

Rail and Mine Strikes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-(U. P.)--
Harding has practically ordered all
members of the house to be back on
the job August Is SO that he may turn
to them for any legislation he feels
necessary in handling the coal and
rail strikes, it was made known at the
white house today.
The original plan was for 1e;-
members to return next Tuesday and
then take three day recesses until the
senate took final action on the tariff
bill and other measures. The press
dents action, therefore, virtually am
cunts to the summoning of the house,
which has been recessing for month,
back to Washington for any emer-
gency arising. Admitting the rail and
coal strikes are "serfous,1 Harding, it
was stated, suggested" to the house
leaders that they abandon the plan for
three day recesses after August 10.
The white house made it known that
Harding feels there Is no ''undervalu-
ing the seriousness of both situations"
The executives action is taken as an
indication he will not hesitate to take
over the railroads or mines should
such action be necessary for the pub
lie welfare. While the president has
ample authority to take over these
two utilities, legislation will be need
ed to provide for their operation and
to determine many other related ques-
tions.
