 Tonight MT. Milburn was very good -natured. very charming. quite the head of a family.
 "Well. Mother certainly has the old place spick-and-span for the party. hasn't she?" he called out to Emmy from his arm chair in the sit ting room. She's great one. En- my! You can't beat her."
 She's a wonder" agreed Emmy, glancing in at him from the dining room where she was setting the table by the light of the Dying Gladiator. { He was very good looking in his immaculate white collar, with his red hair brushed straight back from a high square forehead. When he was like this it was perfectly easy to see why Mrs. Milburn had been at- tracted to him years before and counted the Pentland riches well lost for love of him.
 "So you're entertaining the upper crust tomorrow, Emmy" he was saying now with just hint of sar- casm in his voice. All the high rolling swells, eh?"
 No. Just the little old Friday club" Emmy told him. l She came and stood before him. But. Father. l do want this party to come off well! Would you let me go down the street and ask Mrs. Grossman to come and serve. so Mother and l won't have to wait on table? There are going to be 12 to look after. anyway. and there should | be an extra person to help. Would you?" Mrs. Grossman cooked and served luncheons and dinners for a living.
 "Why, sure! Sure-go and ask her!" He picked up his paper and began to read.
 But ought to have four dollars. I That's what she charges" Emmy said. without moving a step.
 All right. Your mother will give it to you" he answered easily. still hiding behind his paper.
 I'm afraid she won't. She hasn't it," Emmy said. You see, Grand mother gave me ten dollars for this party, and it's all gone. We had to buy chickens and cream and some almonds and three decks of cards and a prize and"
 Emmy! Emmy! Don't bother me with these things of yours! I've troubles of my own!" He was exas- perated now. He rattled his paper.

ALLEN ATTACKS
 DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Says It Sinks to "SeVtE ol
 NeV York"

Washington. Nov. ! N-Asserting that the Tammany campaign in its closing hours has sunk from tho sidewalks to the sewers of New York;" Henry J. Allen. director of republican publicity. has accused Chairman John J. Raskob. and the democratic national committee of manufacturing evidence" to sup- port the charge that attacks on Gov ernor Alfred E. Smith because of his religion may be traced to re- publican campaign officials.
 A Ffamc-Up
 In . statement issued for publica- ton today. Allen denounced n q sus- pected 'frame-up" the set of docu- ments made public by Raskob as part of an open letter to Chairman Work of the republican national committee. which the democratic leader declared proved that bis claims were true.
 Moreover. Allen charged Raskob with "an obvious effort to make the widest use of bigotry in his own campaign while denouncing its pre- tended presence in the republican campaign" He declared too. that Raskob had given tacit approval to attacks on Herbert Hoover because of his Quaker faith.
 Denies AlTidavits
 Referring to the documents made public by Raskob Allen said that all the affidavits they contained were made on the same day and that one man had denied making an affidavit which Raskob had attributed to him These considerations. Allen added arouse "the suspicion that the whole case is 'frame-up'." He charac- terized as "a mere mask to hide hi, own mud-guns" Raskob's early ap. peal for a clean campaign.
 "All efforts to link the republican party with the religious issue hay. ing failed because of the refusal ol the republican party to countenance the appeal to higotry." Allen said the committee of Raskob has de. iiberately descended to the Tam. many trick of manufacturing eyi.

 The republican publicity director asserted that his party leaders had been able ito anticipate most of the democratic mud by realizing that Raskob always uses reverse English on every statement" He added that whenever the democratic chairman ''has accused the republicans of . trick. it has become . forewarning that the democrats were about to undertake or were already undertak- ing that particular trick" :.
 Trace Meeting
 Allen asserted that the recent pretended meeting" between klan and republican leaders in New Jer- sey had been easily traced to dem- ocratic headquarters in Philadel- phia:" and that an attack of the most vicious character was launched by the democratic regional commit tee at St. Louis upon MT. Hoover's religion" In the latter connection, he charged that this democratic committee. which is a part of Mir.

 He's nearly seventeen" the man interrupted her. You leave him to me. I'll look after him. He's 8 Mill burn all the way through. that kid. He's got red blood in him. You can just bet you'll never be able to put him into art school and stick . drawing pencil into his lily-white hand!" Perry had gone to art school for . term. and his father never had got over it. He said no red- blooded man would ever be an artist.
 II don't want him to go to art school, Charlie" Mrs. Milburn's voice came. clear and low. T just want him to grow up to be-decent. That's all."
 Silence after that. Then MT. Mill burns voice once more: You'd bet ter take that lamp downstairs and fill it, Rosy. There's not much oil in 1t, and l may wake up and want to read"
 He often read at night. Detective stories and stories of the western plains in the romantic old days. Stories of fred -blooded" men. Dan read them. too-when he read any thing.
 Mrs. Milburn began to get the house in readiness for Emmy's party . full week before the first Saturday in November.
 She gave the stairs a fresh coat of white paint. She washed every cur tain in the house. She pasted piece of heavy paper over the place where the colored window on the stairs was broken; and with water colors she painted it tho pale pink of the glass itself. From her old brown treas ure" trunk in the attic, she brought . Spanish shawl of rich crimson silk and draped 1t over one end ot the piano in the sitting room.
 On Friday afternoon at half-past i've Emmy walked into the house to find her all dressed to go out.
 "Robb's going to drive me out be- yond Center Road for some red leaves. if there are any left" she said. "And even if there aren't, there are sure to be some brown oak leaves and some chestnut burrs. They'll look all right with that pumpkin"
 She had bought . pumpkin from Leo. the vegetable man, and turned 1t into . jack-o'-lantern for the cen- ter of Emmy's lunch table.
 You watch the supper" she add ed. as the struggle -buggy's horn sounded from the street. ''and if I'm not home by . quarter to seven. put 1t on the table. That is. if your fathers here" She hurried out into the brown dusk.
 MT. Milburn came home at half past six, with Perry. The chances were that if he did not come with Perry, he would not be home much before ten or eleven. Mrs. Milburn's last words to her son every morning when he left the house were: 'Try to bring your father home with you tonight" There seemed to be some sort of secret understanding between

THE AMERICAN INFLUENCE

Motion pictures from Hollywood mail-order cata-
logues from Chicago and magazines from New York
have made South Americans familiar with North Amer
lean fashions in clothes and cars food and drink work
and play. What the Latin Americans like or admire
of all this they have adapted to themselves in their
own land
There is tradition that native foods never taste
well away from home. Watermelons must be eaten
in the SOUTH beans in Boston, Holsters in Gloucester
oysters in Baltimore and pretzels in Pennsylvania So
it is question if hot dog would be so savory away
from Coney Island where the tang of the sea air gives
the proper appetite Nevertheless the latest impor-
taton to be enthusiastically received south Of the Rio
Grande is the hot dog.
In Rio de Janeiro frankfurters are becoming extra
ordinarily popular. They are advertised under the
Portuguese equivalent for "hot dog" and in English
also. Like the North American variety, the Rio brand
flourishes in the neghborhood Of amusement places
One shop in the theatrical district Of the Brazilian city
does land office business, particularly around mid.
night. This stand sports sign with fox terrier
and yellow dog to give graphic translation of the
American name.
Here is another contribution to the rapidly growing
accumulation Of proof that America is "civilizng'

SCHOLARSHIP FOR SIXTY NATIONS
christian Science Monitor)

How hard it is to forecast the growth of construc-
tive ldeal Great as was the vision of Cecil Rhodes
when he founded system of international scholarships
twenty-five years he could scarcely have foreseen
some OF the major fruits of that benefaction Today
with the fashion Rhodes being so widely followed it
is likely that his example will prove as valuable in its
indirect benefits have his scholarships in direct
furtherance OF good will between nations The latest
and perhaps the most truly international of these
prises, is that just announced by Roscoe Pound dean
OF the Harvard Law school, and based on gift from
Chester D. Pugsley OF Peekskil, N. Y.
Mr.. Pugsleys intent, outlined in a letter to Dean
POUND is to devote approximately 100000 to the
tabshng Of SIXTY scholarships for the study of in
atives OF sixty nations. The details of the project
remain to be worked out but it is hoped that each
endowed three foreign graduate scholarships in the law
school, and in 1924 three in international law. With
the peoples OF the earth turning increasingly toward
international law an instrument Of peace, this gen
erous provision for it's study by youths from ever,
quarter OF the globe holds ncalculabe promise And
what verable league of nations" those sixty stu
dents will make when all gather at Harvard!

GROWING INCOMES

Than The Internal Revenue Bureaus analysis of In
tax returns there is no more accurate and re.
veang barometer of national prosperity and the dis
tribution Of private wealth. The analysis for 1928
shows amazing national prosperity and presages
still wider distribution Of wealth in the future
In 1927 the American people who made income tax
returns had aggregate net income of
fabulous SUM particularly in view Of the fact that
millions Of persons make return And yet the aggre-
gate net income for this year will exceed that figure
From income tax returns can Be read another fact
that Is most encouraging. They prove that American
wealth is not divided among few, but il widely dis
tributed and annually finding even wider distribution
Each year tie nations population Of milliopaires
increases but the taxabs class grows even more rapidly
and each year 49, incomes graduating from the
lower brackets 70 the upper These the most r..
assuring features Of this analysis. Progress is being
made when the nations income shows steady growth

LORD BYNG A POLICEMAN
(Omoha yNnrlI unro1lA


The hero Of Vimy Ridge has become policeman.
Lord byng commander of the Canadian expeditionary
force and Of the heroes of the great war; has taken
over over, command Of Scotland Yard: writer in Every
nodys Weekly. London, says, 1.-THE man who handled
the tough Canadian division is fully competent to deal
with $4,000 peaceable policemen"
In spite Of this writer's complete confidence in Lord
byngs ability to straghten out Scotland Yard after its
taste OF graft we have our misgivings. We cannot
help having them after witnessing the sad case of some
departments.
Az leader Of marines Gen. Smedley Butler was there
ana over, and they don't come any tougher than our
Marines afectonatey called leathernecks by the gobs
and devil! dogs by grateful country. But as head
the police department of Bill Vares city Of brothery
love oid Gimlet Eye was complete flop, washout
The job downed him.
Then there was Gen. Lincoln c. Andrews. who under
TOOK to enforce national prohibition He did his
domnedest for two years and left the job defeated
man. The one thing he failed to accomplish was the
endorsement Of prohibition.
Running police department may look easy to
military man. but winning battle against great odds
IS simple compared with overcoming the inertia Of
habit and tradition which rule in most of our police
departments. policeman by training and experience
can usually do the job much better.
