Listen, mister, l got a PROPOSE
ton to make to you." the dark-eyed,
evil-faced taxi driver leaned toward
Bob and spoke in a whining, conf
Dental undertone, which Hutchin-
son in vain tried to interrupt. This
bird, Hutchinson, has been engineer
ing these big jewel robberies the
papers have been full of for the last
six months, been the brains of a
gang, he has, and he roped me into

croaked the old lawyer, I thought
he was just hanging around the

no idea he was goin' to croak the
old boy, or / wouldn't have drove
him there that night, all tricked out
in his beggar's, disguise"
"Shut up, you damned fool! You're
slipping the moose around your own
neck, can't you see that?" Hutchin-
son snarled, making a futile plunge
at his accomplce. Bob's automatic
proddded him back into his seat.

could disappear as Phil the beggar
and come out as Brady Hutchinson,

Faith, alone on the drivers seat,
thanked God that Bob had taught
her to drive, as she manipulated
gears with only a modicum of I'M
certainty. And as she drove her
heart was beating so wildly with
joy that its sound filled all the world
for her. Cherry would be free-free

would not let her jubilant heart re-
member that poor Cherry's reputa-

At the first drug store Faith
parked the car, alighted and tele-
phoned. She was fortunate in get
ting an almost instantaneous con-
nection with the defense lawyer,
who promised rather unwillingly, in
view of her guarded statements over
the phone, to join her and Bob iN-
mediately.
When Churchill arrived in his own
car, driven by a chauffeur, he was
amazed to find Bob Hathaway
guarding two prisoners with an au-
tomato. At Churchill's suggestion,
his chauffeur exchanged places with
Bob. accepting the automatic with
great alacrity, as if he he hoped
he would have a chance to use it.
Bob and the lawyer conferred to-

closed car, each keeping an eye on
the prisoners.
Churchill wasted little time in con-
graduating Bob and Faith, plung-

AT SO MARY GARDEN
RANKS CAREER FIRST
And Never, She Says, Will
She Change Her Mind
Goes Abroad.

BIZ NEA Serrice
NEW YORK, April 1..-"Adora-
ton. =. Beauty. -. Career. -. These
are the real A-B-C's of woman's hap
piness. And the greatest of these is
Career"
Mary Garden tossed this flower of
wisdom to her American sisters
from her rich half.century of expert
ence.
At so, Mary apparently is as far
as ever from succumbing to mar
riage, firmly as ever intrenched In
her career, with a capital C-the
Chicago Opera.
She disposed of the A and B of
happiness easily, with a gesture.
Alteration? Oh, love comes and
goes in every womans life. 1t is as
necessary as air and light.
Beauty? Anybody can have
certain amount of it.
But a career? All! that is diff
ferent thing"
She's Very Serious
Mary apparently is serious about
this work stuff. What kind Of work?
ANY kind, all kinds-whatever a
woman can do that she likes and
which will support her.
Careers mean denial" she admit
ted. "They mean concentration,
driving ones self to work, persist
ence most of ones life. But the
career pays the best interest of any
investment a woman can make.
"a career should be the feet that
propel a woman through life. With
a career a woman can get a firm
stand in the world and let all the
gales of love or sorrow blow that
will. What is woman has a hus-
band and children?
"She may have. to support them.
Or the husband may die or run off
with somebody else and the children
will surely grow up"
Not that Mary belittles love. She
just accepts the fact that every
body needs it. Love, marriage,
divorce-she believes in them all.
Hers is a philosophy that welcomes
life as it comes.
AS for beauty, Mary said:
Most women define beauty in
terms of youth and slender figure.
Take sunbaths to retain the former.
And just don't eat and you will at
tain the latter. Simple, isn't it,"
Clothes? Wait Awhile
Clothes, she observed, are essen
tial to woman's beauty. She started
dissertation on her theory of how
clothes help make the woman. Then
she stopped, shrugged her shoulders.
"Wait. q. =. Come back in November.
I'm leaving to spend six months in
France. 1 will create The Resurs

that, weeks of rest, recreation and
clothes. I'll have a lot of new the
cries. I may change my entire idea
about beauty.
about love?-Well, even my idea
about love might change. You know
so many ideas permeate the French
atmosphere!
Careers? No, I'm sure of that one
thing. am convinced for all time of
the efficacy of expression for women
through work. They really have a
chance at genuine happiness only
when they are free. They must
stand on their own feet.... No, I
won't change my mind on that point
But, come back in six MONTHS.

DONAHEY DECLINES,

0hioan Says He Is Not Seek

COLUMBUS, Ohio. December S.
Gov. Donahey not only is not a candi
date for President but he will not be
a candidate for any office, he has nOti
fed State Democratic party leaders.
This became known today in connec
ton with the fight being waged by the
governors friends to prevent Ohio's
delega ton to the Democratic ma atiOnal
convention being selected in the in
terest of Gov. AL Smith of New York.
While the governor is not a ca ndi
date he has let it be known he would
not refuse the nomination were 1t
rendered him. His friends are anxious
that the delegation be favora BILE to the
governor and stand ready to support
him for the nomination if and when
such chance for his nomination
might arise.
When the committee convened word
passed to the Donahey supporters that
arrangements had been made to in
dorse Pomerene for President with no
restrictions that would prevent the
Ohio delegation being turned over en-
masse to Smith after preliminary
votes. Immediately they issued an
ultimatum to the Pomerene adherents
that if the suggested plan went
through a slate of opposition candi-
dates would be put up in the pri-
maries.
The delay was then agreed upon
and subcommittee of five was named
to report in Jsnuary on the "favorite

More than score of candidates have
been mentioned for this post, and the
regents apparently have been unable
TO come to an agreement. The secre-
taryShip of the Smithsonian is consid-
cred the most important in American
science-partiy because of the tradi-
tional leadership of the institution and
partly because of the number of Gov.
eminent institutions under its direc-

cabinet position.
