Of inefficiency and negligence, in

"Our national defense should be
organized into a single department

partments for the air forces, the land
forces and the sea forces, each with
an equal voice and each privileged
to present their views without re-
straint or coercion to secretary Of

0HICAGO. ILL.,, Feb. 2.-This is
IL tale of rosy dreams that
S were shattered. The plot is a
favorite with fiction writer's, but this
tale is a bit of real life.
Miss Kathryn Kelly, 20, pretty, an
heiress and deeply interested in soci-
illogical study, met Hubert d. Wes-
ley. 26. handsome, rather dis
tinguished in appearance, a stock
and bond man, also interested in
seeing how the other half lives.
/. They met in Loop dancing acad-
emy, some months ago, took instant
interest in each other and decided
to pursue their sociological studies
together.
Feared Mrs. Grundy
Kathryn was fearful of what her
Gold Coast parents might say IL they
found her meetings with Hubert had
been 50 unconventional. Hubert had
similar misgivings about his own
socially elect parents and so they
communicated with each other via
general delivery.
They met quite frequently.
Kathryn exquisitely attired, Hubert
irreproachable sartorially and talked
Of the happiness to come when they
merged their fortunes in marriage.
Early Sunday. Detectives Walsh
and Monaghan saw young man
acting suspiciously' In front of a
handsome home on the near North
Side. They arrested him and he gave
his name as G. II. Sommerfield, a
tailor of Springfield, IL. Inquiry de
veloped that Sommerfield's place
had been burglarized recently.
Further questioning revealed that
the prisoner was in reality Hubert,
the stock and bond man.
Hubert then admitted that he had
burglarized quite a number of places.
But don't tell anyone my name
because 1 expect to marry an
heiress," he said. II had to keep
up a front. 1 made from 5000 to
$500 a week robbing places"
The detectives managed to trace
the heiress to her home-which is
a considerable distance from the
Gold Coast. They found several
checks signed katherine Malloy."
Katherine was taken to the station
and charged with passing worthless
checks.
II had to do It to keep up a front,
because am going to marry a big
stock and bond man." Katherine con-
fided.
1--WE want to introduce you to a
gentleman. Walsh and Monaghan
told her, and they did.
Hubert, somewhat the worse for
wear. stared in amazement. Kath-
ryn returned the wide-eyed stare and
then froze,'
-Four flushing" she commented
bitterly.
