Nancy was amazed to see him pat
her mother on the shoulder. Poor
thingl 1t was too bad. No doubt,
from her point Of view. Suddenly
the girl ran to the disconsolate wom-
on and cried, Darling, I'm sorry to
disappoint you. But, don't you see9
I CAN'T give him up"
You're going to be sorry II you
DON'T" Amanda insisted.
Nancy lay awake for hours. She
could not understand why her
mother should object to Eric so yio-
lently. OF course, she had cherished
the thought Of her daughter marry
ing into the Hollandsbee family.
Nancy knew her mother was the
victim Of intuitions. She was apt
to have lunches" about things, and
evidently she was INDUCING In one
|ncv.
r some reason Amanda could
n, have explained to herself she
considered Eric a social nonentity.
Anyone would think" thought
Nancy, that I wanted to marry the
ice man"
The idea amused her. AS II she
herself were not too particular to
marry outside" Eric was manager
Of the Gas and Electric Company.
Quite a good positionl
All the younger set had seemed
willing to accept him. Edith Har-
courts okeh would have been suffi-
cient II they had not liked him for
himself, which they did.
Nancy's distress over her mothers
unreasonable attitude marred her
happiness. She couldn't dream Of
Eric as she desired, with her moth
er's reproaches ringing in her ears.
Its Just a shame" she sighed.
Mother has done q lot for me-"
But, then, wasn't that what moth
ers were for2 she recalled Eric's
words In speaking Of his mother:

When Eric had gone Nancy went
to the window and looked out upon
the starlit night. She was sure nc
other girl In the world could be SC
happy. Eric loved her. They were
engaged.

urged with an Impotence which
thrilled her. I'm making a pretty
fair salary. Why can't we be mar

Nancy felt she should refuse II
only on the ground Of maidenly
modesty. But how could she when
at heart she agreed with every argu-
ment he advanced? They decided
on a May wedding.

had asked, anxiously. do you
think she'll agree?"

Nancy said, confidently. But If ]
cont we'll run away. NOTHING can
keep me from marrying you"
She intended to present her case
to Amanda in the morning. Moth
ing to be gained by waiting, and
she wasn't afraid.
AS she turned Off the light she was
surprised to hear a subdued sound
from the kitchen. It was after mid
night. She supposed her mother and
father had retired long ago.
But when she cautiously opened
the door she saw Amanda, seated at
the table, shaken with sobs.
ooh, Mother, why do you act like
this? Anyone would think had
done something disgraceful."
"You haven't any respect for me.
Nancy. Neither has he to come here
after what I told him."

where?"
Amanda's eyes blazed.

Nancy sat down, determined to be
patient.
There's nothing the matter with
Eric. You're just prejudiced against

Amanda's face.

You're joking. You're trying to
tease me because I didn't want you

OHIOANS BOAST
WETTEST TOWN
LInndaIe Is 40 Per- Cent
BootIeggers, Claim.

By Unfted Press
CLEVELAND. Sept. 21.-The
village of Linndale, on the outskirts
of Cleveland, Is just about. the wet
test place in the United States, &C
cording to its marshal. who asserts
the place has a population composed
Of 40 per cent bootleggers.
The marshal, Battling Tom"
OMAHA, who was thrust into his
own jail recently on charges Of rob-
berry, further asserts that his esti-
mate is extremely conservative and
that almost every other person In
the place sells something or other"
The village has a population Of 543.
Linndale came into prominence in
national news reports few years
ago when the Big Four Railroad
complained to the county prosecu-
tors Office that it was forced to run
its trains at fifteen miles an hour
through the village in order to keep
from running over the intoxicated.
One Of the chief grievances Of the
railroad at the time was that it was
forced to make additions to the
crews OF trains running through the
village in order that a man could be
posted on the cowcatcher of the
engine to look ahead for "drunks."
1t was also alleged that several in
ebriated persons were found sleep
ing on the track, causing trains to
be delayed.
The flow of liquor In Linndale was
kept at minimum for q time with
the addition Of county officers to the
village police force, but recently the
trouble has broken ollt anew.

GARDEN CITY, N. Y, May 10
Clearing weather over the Atlantic
Ocean gave hope today that all
three airplanes awaiting the start
of a fight to Paris would leave per-
haps tomorrow morning.
Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh, 20
year-old air mail pilot, was confident
the weather would clear up suffi-
ciently to permit him to start his
lone fight tomorrow. Commander
Richard Byrd planned to test his
Fokker plane today with a full
fight load of 1850 pounds, and If
the test was successful it was pos
sible he. too, might be ready to leave
tomorrow.
Once more a formal announce
ment has been made that all the
quarrels in the camp of the Bellanca
entry in the New York-to-Paris air
plane flight have been settled.
This time is was Lloyd Bertaud,
navigator Of the Bellanca plane, who
said that he and Charles Levine,
owner of the machine, reached an
amicable agreement at a meeting
lasting most of the night at Le-
vines home. He said the agreement
would be put into writing this after
noon. Details were not made public.
In the meantime an injunction
restraining Levine from sending the

CINCINNATI
MANAGER
TO SPEAK
Public Meeting Tonight in
Indianapolis Campaign
Interest.

Mayor Murray L. Seasongood,
Cincinnati, will arrive In Indianapo-
lis today to tell citizens interested
in good government how the city
manager plan has functioned
successfully in his city. He will adj
dress a public meeting at the Clay
pool Hotel, at p. m, preceded by
dinner. Reservations for the
dinner may be made through
Blythe Q. Hendricks, city manager
campaign speakers bureau, $40
Illinois Building.
The speech will be broadcast over
wKBF, Hoosier Athletic Club.
Noon Manager Speakers
Two noon city manager meetings
were held. Mrs. George Fin
frock spoke at the Suther-
land Ave. Presbyterian Church, and
LIE Roy Lewis before the Traffic
Club at Hotel SEVERN.
Another evening meeting will be
held at Castle Hall at SIS, where
Harvey Hartsock will address the
Bricklayers, Masons and Tile Settlers
Union.
Not Party Attack
Proposal to place this city under
the commission manager plan is not
an attack on any party" J. w.
Esterline, manufacturer, campaign
leader, told an audience that packed
the social rooms, North M. e.
Church, Wednesday night. The
meeting was over before the tor
nado.
Esterline challenged the conten-
ton that the city manager govern
ment was "undemocratic" and point
ed out that it was nearer the ideals
Of Americas founders than the
mayor and council system.
Shouting, Befogging
Our opponents also are shouting
that the city manager law is uncon-
stitutiona1," he said. Being adept
at befogging the issue, they are do
ing all in their power to make the
people of indianapolis believe that
for some vague reason they cannot
enjoy the benefits of good govern
ment as other cities do.
1.-THE question of unconstitutional
ity cannot be answered by argu-
ment-let's try it and find out. If
the people of this city wait until we
have a city manager law that will
meet the approval of our opponents,
we can put Gabriel in as our first
city manager.
Such conditions as have existed
In Indianapolis during the last fif-
teen years are enough to take the
heart out Of any man.
Those Here to Pay
when we look about us and see
much of the public work which has
been done disintegrating within q
few years, thousands Of vacant
houses, industries leaving the city
and none coming to take their place,
it ought to be apparent to thinking
people that the burden Of replacing
the poor work which has been done
and Of doing vast amounts of work
which has been neglected will have
to be paid for by those who are al
ready here. The sooner we realize
this situation and apply corrective
measures the better off the city
will be-"
