n 3l.~~Echoes which all SUM-
NV mer have been sleeping
among the highlands of the
Hudson were awakened
abruptly last night when the Army foot
ball season was opened by the cadet
rally. which traditionally marks this
event.
From now on foot ball spirit will grow
cumulatively on the Plains until 1t rises
to high creseendo appropriate TO the
greatest interSectional battle ever held
in the East. the game in New York on
December l. between the Stanford team
and West Point.
Rv that time the cadet players will
know that they have played a lot oil
foot ball. Any team which engages to
meet Southern Methodist. Yale, Har-
ward, Nebraska. Notre Dame and STAN
ford in single season may be set down
as ambitious, If not bit foolhardy.
As to this there are two schools OF
thought. Some coaches believe that
games against strong opponents are no
more Furnishing for players than work
outs against minor elevcns--whlch they
probably are not but they overlook the
opportunities which easy contests give

exhibited to her Mr.. Cars letter de-
handing his resignation.
She gazed at him with genuine con-
lection than she had felt in many
moons. Memory of the long walk on
the previous night yet scared her soul
through lacerated feet.
"You-you don't mean to say, honey,
nat you is wo'ied bout I an Armis-
tice JeeterS?"
He nodded sadly.
"Uh-huh. I amt nothin' else"
Her words carried conviction.
why, Gideon, you is foolish in the
haid. The only thing ever found out
fun that poor, misguided piece Of
tripe was what fine Teller you Is.

She paused, and then: "You just sit
down an send Brother Carr that resig-
nation he Graves. Tell him you amt
got no mo- worries, an what you has
got you is gwine tend to yo'sef."
Gideon Bass stared at her. Her
words were completely at variance with
her actions of the immediate past, but
he knew instinctively that, for some
vague reason, whatever bond Of attach
ment had existed between ArmiStice
and herself was forever broken. He
spoke hesitatingly:
"But, honey, thought"
"Shuh!" she snapped. "You oughtn't
to ever do that. Ise tellin' you the
honest truth, Gideon, when says that
Armistice Jeeters is absolutely the
throughest man Is with"

Jeeters. He found that gentleman
handsome, debonair, conceited, and in
snlting. But when, a few days after
that, he met Ermine in the Jazz
adancerie, he saw readily enough that
ne had a considerable task on his
hands.
Ermine he catalogued without diff

partner for Arrnistice Brother Bass

what he thunk he did" Whereupon
Julian devoted himself to a siege of
headachy worry.
With the passing of the days,
Gideon once again shook hands with
contentment. Worry had fallen from
him like discarded collar, and he
went his way smiling-content that his
troubles were safely intrusted to an
other. Skepticism had been smothered
under a deluge of results. He wasn't
worried-he couldn't worry. Not even
when, one night about two weeks later,
Ermine announced pointedly that she
was going to picture at the Champion
Theater

THE front door slammed behind the
irate Mr.. Bass. He Waddled to-
ward the center of the city.
Until recently, worry had been ut
terly foreign to Gideons gentle, COM
placent nature.
Ernnine had her faults-no one knew
that quite so we'll as Gideon. He was
willing to bear with them-within rea-
son. But to flaunt in his face her pref
erence for another man. And such a
man
Arnistice was there, seven ways from
the ace. Gideon wasn't. That was
what hurt. In fact, he was honest
enough to admit that, in beauty race
with Armistice he himself would run
a weak third.
Use woied. Use awful woied-"
Two words flashed into his brain:
Don't worry
Fifteen minutes later found Gideon
Bass fidgeting impatiently in the ante
room Of the Don't Worry Club. The
rooms occupied by that unique organi-
cation were not particularly ornate. A
door Haunted the name "Mr. Julian
Carr, President, Don't Worry Club"

postulated Julian, you amt gwine have
airy worry lef'."
Gideon was only half convinced.
He emerged from the Penny Prudential
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-10-14

Bank Building and looked about Then
he heaved a deep sigh. He did feel
better, there was no denying It, Per-
hapS 1t was the unburdening: perhaps.
after all, there was a sound basis to the
Don't Worry Club.
Gideon tried deliberately to worry
about Ermine and Armistice. Some
how he couldn't summon any vital
interest in the affaiN The thing was
no longer intimate and personal and
exclusive. He walked down Eighteenth
street with the@beatific consciousness
Of support.
That evening he called on Ermne
and found her sulking. He greeted
her cheerfully, and she snapped re-
tort. He grinned. "G'wan, cullud gnl
you CANT get my goat"
She stared in amazement. He passed
on, chuckling. The thing was astound-
ing-but 1t was a fact Even In tho
presence Of her acrid ill-humor he
could not worry.
All the next day the sensation of
relief grew upon him. He whistled
about his work and blessed the very
name Of Julian Carr and that gentle
mans conception Of Don't Worry
organization. Mr.. Carr was q scholar
and an honest man. He gave value
received no longer did Gid
con look down upon himself for be-
lieving Julian's fulsome promises.
Meanwhile, Mr.. julian Carr found
himself personally interested In the
affairs of his new member. The Don't
Worry Club had not been blessed with
any enormous measure Of success.
Birmingham's Darktown seemed reluc-
tant to trust its worries to a stranger.
Julian had meanwhile discovered that
Gideon was gentleman of distinction
In the colored community. Ergo, sue
cess with Gideon assured success for
his enterprise.
Within two days, he succeeded in OBJ
tanning an introduction to Armstice

hand of Mr.. Carr clasped fraternally
about his.
AN now, I reckon I en- call you
Brother Bass?"
"Soht of soun's like it,"
GOOD. Fine. Elegant Now, Brother
Bass, femme heah yo' trouble"
Gideon squirmed uneasily. He was
reluctant to air his intimate affairs, but
there was something irresistibly per-
suaSive about the president of the Don't
Worry Club. and so. after brief hest
tation, the new member Of that organ
ization plunged into recital Of his
woes.
Once warmed up to his subject,
Gideon talked fluently. Words rolled
swiftly and convincingly from his
tongue . and, as he talked, he real
lied that by this device alone he was
affording himself no inconsiderable
measure of relief. Into the attentive
ears of Julian Carr he told his story.
It was all the fault of Armistice
Jeeters, declared Gideon. He attributed
to Mr.. Jeeters qualities Of such attrac-
tiveness that even that egocentric gen.
tleman would have blushed. Ermine
was not to be blamed for responding to
Mr.. Jeeters' advances, but the condi-
ton was intolerable. "Tain't nothin'
wrong" he summarized lugubriously,
but I is jes' nachelly wo'ied."

Gideon, nonplussed, was momentarily
wordless. ''Wiggilin tripe!" he ejac-

tongue dripping honey. "Tha's all,

the door opened and two men came

Gideon saw Mr.. Carr shake hands
with his visitor and watched the Wis
itor depart. The new member was
beaming. Apparently there was no
such thing IN his cosmic scheme as
care. And Gideon realized that worry
must have brought him there. He left
smiling. Mr.. Carr was extending a
moist hand to his new patron.
