Welshmen Jealous of Cop
With 50 Letters in Name
Search Whole Country in
Effort to Beat Record
of DanviIIe Man.
Rn Nnited Press

CARDIFF, England, Aug. 3.-The
little country of Wales is waxing
highly indignant and all over an
ordinary American patrolman.
1t happened this way. Up to
quite recently. Wales held the rec
ord for the longest, jaw-cracking,
tongue-twisting names in existence,
but imagine the dismay of the
Welshmen when they heard that in
Danville, ILL.,, there was a police
man with the name: Ducorapana-
Observation-Disclosures.
Thirty-seven letters and all in
one name!
Phew! said the Welshmen and set
forth to go one better.
On a tombstone in a little village
cemetery they found one with thir-
ty-eight letters, but, alas, there was
a hyphen in the middle, so it could
not fairly be recognized.
A rumor then got around that a
certain Welsh miner was well in the
running for the longest name on
record and off dashed the inVesti-
eating committee to his house.
There, round two sides of the
house they saw his name chalked
up thus: Observation-Disclosures
acknowledgement.
But, there were only thirty-six
letters.
The committee is still searching.

Lindbergh will arrive at Mars Hill
about 2 p. m, half an hour after

to Kusterer.
He will be escorted immediately

Lindbergh will make a short talh

Kusterer advised an open air
meeting, fearing the coliseum, which
will hold 10000, would not be large
enough. He approved the coliseum,
however, when the committee ex-
pressed its preference.
A few hours of leisure will be en-
joyed by Lindbergh before the
banquet in Columbia Club at 6 D.
m. Approximately $50 representa-
tive business and civic organiza-
ton men will attend.
A specially reserved section at
Thirty Eighth and Meridian Sts..

will pass, will be occupied by Grip
Piles, orphans and elder folks from
the hospitals and institutions of the
city. Bryson has appointed Homer
w. Borst head of a committee for
transportation of the group.
The indianapolis Community
Fund and the Gyro, Optimist, Ro-
tary, Kiwanis and Advertising Clubs
of the city are sponsoring the move
ment. This followed request of in
mates of the James Whitcomb Ri
ley Hospital for Children to have
Lindbergh fly over the hospital so
they could see his plane.

Jimmy Mccormick was here! He

"Oh. look who's herer' George
exclaimed.
You knew he was going to, be
here" Ann accused her.
"Of course / didn' Il" George
declared, but that lie did not
trouble her, even for breath.
So Ann watched. Once she
danced with man whom George
knew. George knew someone
everywhere. But her eyes. in
spite of her firm intention to be
Indifferent. strayed back again
and again to Jimmy Mccormick.
Apparently he did not even know
she was here. Certainly he never
glanced in her direction. He was
looking down at Ellen Davis. smil.
ing and interested. Ellen Davis
had won him at last!
Then for the first time Ann
thought seriously about Jimmy,
Had he really loved her? He'd
been awkward and silent enough
and yet-and yet she knew, in her
heart, that she had flung away a
love that was real and strong and
lasting!
An hour went by. Ann was un-
happy. Twice she asked George
to go.

of a board creaking or a suitcase
lock swapping. She was afraid
that Beau might try to get away
after all.
The next morning at o'clock
Sally was marching up River Road
on her way to Aunt Emily's.
The house on River Road
looked just as it always did,
facing the eastern skies, and catch
ing the pale autumn sunshine on
its window panes.
The only difference was that
over the gate wooden sign hung:

already" said Sally to herself with
an amused twinkle in her eyes.
1t was like Aunt Emily to go
ahead with her own plans, saying
nothing TO anybody about them.
There was nothing Mandy pamhy
about Aunt Emily. She stood on
her own feet. Only she did not
stand. She ran. She galloped
ahead.
When Sally rang the doorbell a
strange woman answered it. A
large, plump, confortable-lo looking
woman with sharp blue eyes. pink
cheeks. and smddge of flour on
her apron front.
Yes, Miss Jerome's here she
said in answer to Sally's question.
She's in the office.
She led Sally into the small
room that once had been the linen
room of the big old house.
1t had nothing in it hut a desk
and two straight chairs. And on
one of the chairs sat Aunt Emily,
looking very stiff and prim in a
dark blue silk dress.
We'll. If it isn't little Sally"
she exclaimed when her niece
stepped into the bright business
like place. And what brings YOU
way out here this morning.
She always struck right to the
heart of things.
Sally was like her-direct and
quick. Money" said she. Aunt
Emily, would you lend me a thou
sand dollars and not ask what l
want 1t for?"
Aunt Emily's fine, firm lips
came together with a snap. II
would mott" she declared promptly

what you wanted 1t for. For

had enough of my money, thank
you!

the other, as il she were wash.

Jerome family.

she held open the door she de-
posted KISS on SalIy'S Velvety
flushed cheek. You know I'd
give my niece Sally anything 1
had, don't you? But the rest
OF the family have had the last
nickel I'll ever give them"
The dining room was a beauty.
The chairs and tables in it had
been painted soft green and GOV.
cred with lowered chintz. There
were black eandlesticks on each
table, and they held jade-green
candles. The curtains were the
softest of white dotted muslin,
and on the floor were greenland
white woven rugs.
At any other time Sally would
have gone into raptures over the
dining room. But this morning
nothing could lift the leaden
weight on her heart. Nothing
