progress between Gladys and Jim
Hopkins and in her heart now she
wished them all manner of happi-

The last box was from Davey. 1t
contained several things, box of
candy, a new book, box of hand
kerchiefs, a silver pencil. Dear
Joy, I've bought these things from

my love and all my wishes for a

Yours, Davey."
Everyone is so good to me,
Joyce thought misty eyed, sur
rounded by her treasures. Then her
face sobered.
II half thought I'd hear from
Mother today" she said to herself.
II hope she is not too lonely" and
her eyes filled with tears again.
A knock aroused her and she
slipped into her old bathrobe to go
to answer it. Without stood a cor
rectly 1iveried chauffeur, who
wished her a Merry Christmas
through the half.open door and pre-
scented her with a large box and a
note.
Joy recognized the man. he drove
Mrs. Maltby's car.
There is an answer to the note,
Miss" he said in return to her
thanks and holiday greetings.
Just wait, then, please, said
Joyce, shutting the door and going
back into the living room.
First, she unwrapped the box.
From it's tissue wrappings she took
a lovely padded satin dressing gown
OF pale gold color. There were slip
pers to match and bit Of real lace
made into a bandeau for her hair,
with a small gold rose to nestle over
one ear.
I'm have to get married pretty
soon to use all this finery," Joyce
said delightedly, speaking aloud.
Then she read the note.

"Of course III 60" Joyce decided.
She opened the door a trifle. TIL

the chauffeur.
Back in her bedroom, she paused
long enough to slip into the soft
quilted robe and slippers and to ad'
mire the effect of the lace bandeau
on her brown curls. Then she
dressed quickly, and presently glow
ing with health and youth, she ran
down to the waiting car.
Arrived at the huge pile of stone
where Mrs. Maltby lived, Joyce ran
up the steps Of tiptoe.
Dear, dear Mrs. Maltby," she
cried throwing her arms about the
elder woman. TT was lovely, per

Mrs. Maltby returned the girls

BUYING PUBLIC,
Stores BOSS
And Advertising Must Please
Him, Says ChiCagoan.

Modern advertisers have won
derful and important ally in the
daily newspaper, medium by
which the advertiser can each day
address an audience embracing prac-
tically every family in it's trade ter
ritory, declared Carl L. Gibson of
Chicago, vice president of the Stand
ard Corporation, in an address today
at the Advertising Club luncheon at
the Sphinx Arms.
Gibson, who spoke on Pleasing
the Boss pointed out that the buy
ing public is the boss" He insisted
that thoughtful advertisers should
take advantage of the merchandising
opportunities offered in the daily
newspaper to build up an increased
business, better business prestige
and reputation and influence poten-
tial customers.
Advertising to be profitable must
please the boss. The owners OF
stores are merely holders of fran.
chise rights which the public can re.
woke at villa privilege which is
often exercised.
Better stores are making real
progress. They are remembering
that advertising can be made the
stores representative which can call
at thousands Of homes every day
and tell the news of the store to tens
of thousands of men, women and
children.

Fifty American women and chill

the Shanghai native city, to, protect
American interests at Kiangnang

commanding northern troops there.
Pi explained the docks were seized
to permit urgent repairs to northern
warships. Several American ships
were under construction at the dock

This st. Patrick's day dawns with
a new hope for all Of us. The effort
that is being made at home to heal
the wounds of the recent past, to
rally the people once more and to
strengthen their will to resume the
march toward independence has met
with the last few months with a
success which short time ago
would have been thought impossible.
Heads are being raised that were
bowed in sadness and despair, and
new confidence is being born that
the ideals which we formerly cher
ished still are realizable.
Seven years ago we found our
selves in the vanguard Of freedom,
inspiring and leading from their
dungeons of political servitude, the
exploited subject nations Of the
world. The spiritual leadership
which our nation then held it is our
duty to recover. To win 1t back, to
have 1t securely established when in

the 1,500th anniversary of the com
ing Of st. Patrick is an aim worthy
of the best efforts Of us all. To its
achievement every true Gael will

MeChanistiC Theory Dur

BIZ Uniled Press
BOSTON. March 1.-THE stun
man is made Of can be purchased at
any reliable drug store for about 95
cents, in the opinion of Clarence
Darrow.
Chlcago's noted criminal lawyer
used that argument here last night
to support the affirmative on the
question, as Man a Machine" In
his debate with President Clifton d.
Gray Of Bates College.
1t was a no-declsion contest In
which both speakers strayed from
the subject on several occasions TO
express their views on religion.
barrow said the human being had
mechanical aspects; that all organs
worked mechanically; and that arms,
legs, fingers, toes and spinal col.
umn followed the theory Of leverage.
Man lived and died and worked as
all other mechanisms lived and died
and worked, he argued.
UNFOLDING the negative, Gray said
barrow in action was one the most
powerful REGULATIONS OF his own
philosophy.
ut Is my sincere judgment" be
said, that no human machine could
possibly have produced such a
persuasive. eloquent. interesting and
ingenious argument. I saw no evi.
dence of mechanistic origin"
Gray insisted that It was the soul,
and not the human mechanism,
which, in the face OF darkness and
death, urged the individual on to
fight.

COMMITTEE NAMED
Empowered to Seek Further Wage
Negotiations.

Empowered to Seek Further Wage
Negotiations.
By Uhfted PRESS
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March IL.
A committee of eight union miners
representing the Indiana district or
ganization OF the United Mine Work
ers today was empowered to seek
further wage negotiations with
Hoosier 5ituminous operators.
The committee was named after
the Indiana district convention late
Wednesday voted almost unani.
mously to make peace overtures to
the operators in an effort to avoid
shutdown of the mines on April /.
District representatives on the
international wage scale committee
in reporting to the convention on
the futile Miami joint wage confer
ence recommended renewed efforts
to come to terms with the Indiana
operators.
The committee selected by the
convention will make proposals to
the operators for district wage con-
ference at an early date.
Officials of the Indiana Bituminous
Coal Operators Association refused
to discuss the miners move until a
formal proposal is laid before them.
Tyler G. Lawton, Indiana district
president, explained that any agree
ment reached at a district confer
ence with the operators will await
approval of the international policy
committee Of the United Mine Work
ers before it becomes effective.
1t was taken for granted that II
a separate agreement was reached
by the Indiana miners on the basis
OF no reduction In wages from the
present scale it would receive APP
prevail Of the international policy
committee.
1t was agreed to permit negotiation
OF separate contracts, which must
follow the mandate OF the inter-
national miners convention against
accepting a cut in the present basic
pay Of $3.50 a day.
If Indiana miners effect an agree
ment with the operators, nearly
10000 miners will continue at work
in the State after April 1.

Big, burly corporations, who stuff
tons and tons of concentrated fur
nace-food into yawning boiler mouths
every day, are taking every precau-
ton against having their brood go
without breakfast food, IL the threat
ened strike does occur, but Mr.. and
Mrs. Average Householder. who
take their coal in daintier quantities,
are poohooing the rumored shortage.
This, in effect, is the way Indian
apolis coal men have sized up the
present situation.
Meantime, at Terre Haute, union
miners are negotiating for a sep
arate peace for Indiana coal fields,
and from Washington comes news of
the largest supply of coal on hand
throughout the country since 1924.
Huge Reserve Stocks
All records for accumulated stocks
of bituminous coal will be broken
by April l, according to Washing
ton reports. They say coal on hand
will reach 73S,OO0,OO0 tons, or
enough to supply all needs of con-
sumption and export for about seven
months even If none were mined
after April l.
Central Pennsylvania, wyoming,
Montana and Washington operators
have already signed an agreement
with their workers to continue In
effect the Jacksonville scale agree
ment of $3.50 a day, according to a
Washington labor department off,
cial.
Chief apprehension centers about
the mines of western Pennsylvania
and Ohio. Ohio mine owners have
already announced a general shut
down for April 1.
Should a strike materialize, the
| outcome, coal men say. will depend
largely on whether union miners can
induce men in nonunion fields to
walk out with them. During the
1922 strike 10000 nonunion miners
did this.
Big Supplies Here
"By April l the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company will have
100000 tons of coal on hand with
several hundred carloads on the
way. enough TO last us at least three
months and possibly longer, depend
ing largely on the weather." Vice
President Emmett G. Ralston said
today.
other utilities are well stocked.
John j. Collins. city purchasing
agent, said Indianapolis institutions
were well supplied in event of a.
strike. THE city hospital has at
least $500 tons stored and the fire
department has about the same. In
all, the city has about 5000 tons
available for city use," Collins said.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO. March 1.-THE re-
naming years of the life OF
Harold ]. Croarkin, 26yearold son
of a prominent family, must be spent
in the State penitentiary. Croarkin
last night was convicted Of killing
6-years-old Walter Schmith Jr., and
given a life sentence. The verdict
was a compromise that met with
the approval of defense attorneys
who had fought against Croarkin's
being sent to the gallows. They had
maintained Croarkin was insane, had
been known since childhood as 1.-The
goof" and therefore should be sent
to an asylum rather than the
gallows.
1t took only few ballots to find
Croarl1in guilty. The jury received
the case shortly after 5 p. M,
Wednesday and within three hours
Croarkin-nild hammered and list
lessless-listened to the informing OF
the life Imprisonment verdict.
Gosh" he half muttered when
the case had ended. That express
sion was his whole contribution to
the case. He did not testify in his
. own behalf. He whispered 10 words
of advice to his counsel. Through
the entire trial he sat apparently un-
needing his surroundings. Twice
while prosecutors were making
eloquent pleas that Croarkin
be hanged, the defendant feel asleep.
Croarkin's mother-who had testi-
fed in an attempt to save her SON
was in the courtroom when the ver-
dict was read. She screamed, then
started weeping. Croarkin paid lit
tie attention to her.
There is little change OF any ap.
peal in the case. Attorneys for the
defense announced they were pleased
at having saved their client from the
gallows.

WASHINGTON, March IL
Harry F. Sinclair, multimiIlionaire
oil magnate and sportsman, faces a
IAN term for refusing to answer
questions by the Senate Oil Com
mittee three years ago.
A. jury in District Supreme Court
last night found Sinclair guilty of
contempt of the Senate, giving the
Government its first victory in crimi-
nal prosecution growing out Of the
Senate investigation.
A jail sentence is mandatory for
the offense, the law providing for q
fine of from $500 to $1,000 and from
one TO twelve months in common
jail.'S Sentence will probably be
passed week from tomorrow when
Justice William Hitz is expected to
hear the defense motion for a new
trial.
Immediately after the jury report
ed its decision, George p. Hoover,
associate defense counsel, entered a
molten for a new trial and secured
an extension of Sinclair's bond.
While refusing to comment on the
verdict, Sinclair's attorneys said
every legal means would be en-
ployed to prevent the oil man from
going to Jail They may appeal to
the Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia and carry the case from
there to the United States Supreme
Court.
Sinclair showed no sign Of emo
ton when the verdict was an
nounced.
This is only the first inning" he
commented with an ironic smile as
he left the courtroom.
