He looked older out here in
the searching sunlight than he
had looked in the half-darkness Of
the stage. There were faint
lines at, the corner Of his eyes,
and his hair showed a gray hair

She did not see him again until
the next morning when she was

 The contents included colonial sil- yer heirlooms belonging to John K Davis, the consul. Bound volumes of the consulate correspondence are being hawked on the streets of Ranking for few cents as waste paper.
 The consulate has been unoccu- pied since March 24 when it was abandoned following capture of Ranking by the Cantonese national ist forces. The building has been under guard of picked nationalist troops, avowed to be members of the bodyguard of the former Can tonese commander, General Chiang kai-shek.

With PSI boys present, one of the best Halloween parties ever held at the Boys club was conducted at that institution last evening, with games, contests and refreshments to make up full evening for the youngsters. The number of boys who came in costume was much larger than ever before, and the judges had difficult time in deciding which was the best. They finally gave the first award, pair of ice skates, to George Heming- way, who had a very clever knights costume. Alexander Paluch, who was attired as Charlie Chaplin, won a football for having the funniest costume. John Mack was given honorable mention for his remark able makeup as girl, his costume being so good that he was almost refused admission to the party.

! miles with a normal commercial load.
 One of the principal tasks in de veloping the inter empire airship service, secondary only to the com- pletion of the dirigibles themselves is the building of mooring masts The masts at Darlington and Is- maila are ready for the India serv- ice. and a shed is nearing completion at Karachi.
 The masts are of a new and i'm proved design, nearly twice as high as the mast at Putnam, from which the R-33, famous forerunner of the R-100 and R-101, operated. They are designed to resist a pull at the mast head six times greater than that which the Putnam mast can resist.
 Powerful and sensitive winchcs to draw the airships to the mastheads are operated by oil-fired boilers and controlled electrically from the top of the mast. Pumps can deliver fuel at the rate of 2,00O gallons an hour to the moored airship. A fast eleva- tor is located in the center of the mast structure. Similar masts are being constructed near Durban, South Africa, and in Australia.
 The return 10 airships opens up the old conflicts between proponents Of heavier -than-air craft and advo- cates Of lighter-t than air vessels. The advocates of the airship say that the cost per ton per mile by airship is 12 cents and by airplane 60 cents. They point to tn, fact that in the early days of flying, between 1910 and 1914, five German airships, con- structed for passenger traffic, car ried 42,oo0 passengers in 2,000 with put mishap to a single passenger.

 ILLICIT LOVING
New Code" Carries Punishment
 for FaithIeSS

Rome. Nov. 1 UP)-Benito Mus solini is going to apply American prohibition enforcement methods 10 Italian illicit love.
 Philandering husbands, faithless wives, cherishers of grand pas sions", and even organizers of pet ting parties are to be dealt with un- der the new "code Mussolini." Now. for instance, the penal code as regards unfaithtulness is com plicated.
 First it is necessary for a wife or husband to dcnounce a faithless partner and demand police action.
 Then the police officer sent to ar rest the guilty parties must, before he starts anything, wrap an Italian lag around his waist, knock on the door of the room in which the com plainant has indicated there is reas on for police action. and demand in the name of the law that the door be opened He must be accompan jed by two ordinary policemen.
 Thirdly, he must catch the guilty parties in 'fagrante delicto.'
 All this is going to be changed. Under the new law, the police may act themselves and act as they choose. At any time they may chal- lenge people they suspect of un- faithfulness: and a man with the careworn, married look, in company with beautiful girl, will be under constant suspicion.
 Also, if he is caught. he may be sentenced to three years imprison- ment instead of the three months to one year now inflicted on those, if any. who are caught.
