have enjoyed the respect of their fellows Have
not they, too, had their romances?
The whole problem is not finding romance,
but recognizing it after you have it. Even in
this prosaic, automatic age romance abounds
but we are prone to think of it solely in terms
OF South Sea islands, treasure hunts, red In
dams and Alaskan mine strikes. We don't
realize that it can be found in city fiat or
suburban garden.
The very conditions of life make it an adj
venture On the street car next to you sits q
young man in working clothes, bound for a
factory where he earns a matter Of $50 week
by operating an automatic screw-driver, day
IN and day out; yet you are wrong If you
think his life commonplace and unexciting He
is buying a little bungalow in new suburb.
In it there is girl in a Bingham apron to
whom he is youth incarnate; together the two
are adventurng in life, fronting the world as
bravely as Balboa fronted the swamps of PAN
anna; and they are very sure that presently
they will mount last long rise ard find blue
Pacific spread out before them.
Ii you insist that romance consists solely in
strange scenes, wild adventures and hair
breadth escapes, you will be disappointed, of
course. But those things are not romance
Men have died Of boredom in Papeete Cortez'
troopers, doubtless had to sti1e yawns occa-
sionally.
If you have heart that is full of zest for
life-if you can draw delight from little de.
tails of everyday life, such as spring dawn,
baby's first steps, snug fireside on win
ters night-then romance is yours. You
don't have to seek it. Live with an open
heart, keep your courage and remember how
to smile-and you have it.

Col. John K. P. Scott, 84-year-od civil war
veteran, has been deaf for years. But the
other day a friend took him for an airplane
ride from Gettysburg, Pa, to Washington; and
when the ride was ended the aged soldier dis
covered that his hearing had been restored
He was SO delighted, news dispatches say, tina:
he danced and shouted with glee.
There have been other stories of deaf per-
sons who regained their hearing after airpane
rides. Cannot some medical research organi-
cation provide funds for an exhaustive inves-
tigation Of the possibilities of this as regular
treatment? 1t is important to know whether
we have not stumbled upon a new cure Of
great value

HOPE Is RENEWED
FOR BRITISH KING
Monarch's System Is
Fighting Off Lung
Infection.
BY KEITH JONES

United Press STAN Correspondent
LONDON, Dec. 6.-The king, his
condition alternately encouraging or
alarming as his illness progresses,
gave the royal family satisfaction
and hope today as his system fought
off the infection in his lung.
His physicians, in their morning
bulletin, said the infective process
remained severe but was becoming
more localized. After a fair night,
his temperature was lower and his
general condition was slowly i'm
proving.
During several recent crises, I'M
spoken fear was aroused that the
king might die before the Prince of
Wales could complete his hurried
trip home from Africa.
Today, the palace household
awaited with confidence the arrival
Of the prince at his fathers bedside
by the middle of next week.
The queen and Princess Mary
went for a drive this afternoon and
the crowds noted that the queen
was cheerful and smiling.
It was announced that Princess
Mary hopes to fill engagements
which she has made at Northamp-
ton on Saturday.
Lord Dawson of Penn, the kings
physician, paid two routine visits
to the palace during the day, con-
ferring with his colleague, Sir STAN
ley Hewett, for an hour and a half
in the morning and for shorter
period this afternoon.

BIZ Unite Press
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. ed
Alvey, Louisville bookmaker, known
here as the king of gamblers" who
has been missing since Monday, re-
turned to his home here today and
told story of being kidnapped and
held for ransom.
Alvey said he was forced into an
automobile, at the point of a gun,
near his home Monday night. He
was blind-folded with adhesive
tape, he said.
"I didn't know where they took
me-" Alvey said. They changed
automobiles once, and we rode for
more than an hour. Then we got
out and they took me into build
ing"
Frightened by Papers
The 60-year-old gambler said he
was released Wednesday midnight
apparently when his abductors be-
came frightened over the newspa-
per publicity given his disappear
ance.
Alvey telephoned a hotel here
shortly after his release. He was
in New Albany, Ind, at that tim.
The bookmaker said he did not
pay any ransom, although the kid
naperS were planning on shaking
him down." he said.
Alvey said he was drawn to the
abductors' automobile by a decoy,
who posed as an acquaintance from
Cincinnati.
THE man asked me if 1 remem-
bered him." Alvey said, "and asked
me if wanted to go for a ride. A
car was parked near by and I un-
consciously walked toward it.
Showed Into Car
1.-THE man then drew a revolver
and somebody got out of the car
grabbed my elbow and showed me
into the car"
A woman residing nearby saw
Alvey abducted. she said six men
kidnapped him. Alvey said he be-
lieved only three men were in the
party.
The green sedan, believed used in
abducting Alvey, was found with
blood spattered on the seats, in a
garage here late Wednesday and il
was feared the bookmaker had been
murdered.
Shortly after Alvey's disappear
ance, one of his employees received
an anonymous telephone call in
forming him Alvey was safe and in
tinating $4,000 ransom would be
demanded for his return.

SHUMAKER'S
Brief FILED IN
HIGH court.
Contends Governor Jackson
Had Full Power to Par
don Dry Crusader.

Contempt of the state supreme
court, for which DR.. Edward S.
Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon
League superintendent, was sen
fenced to the Indiana state farm
was a crime against the state and
not against the court" and Cover
nor Ed jackson was within his con-
stitutional authority in pardoning
him, the hrief filed today in Shu-
makers behalf argued.
The brief, filed by Ethan A. Miles,
attorney for the dry leader, was in
support of Shumaker's demurrer to
the states motion for execution OF
Judgment which would return Shu-
maker to the state farm to serve a
sixty-day sentence imposed by the
supreme court. Shumaker paid
fine of $3.50 and costs when Cover
nor Jackson's pardon liberated him
after four hours imprisonment
Oct. 10.
Advances Two Propositions
Two propositions were advanced
in the brief. The states motion lis
not a legal nor proper pleading" it
commended, and the Governors par
doning power extends to cases of
indirect criminal contempt by the
supreme court.
The brief found room for sharp
words for Attorney General Arthur
L. Gilliom. For more than thirty
months" it said, "the attorney
general of the state of Indiana per-
sistently has been pursuing the re-
spondent in this case. He has criti-
cised him from the stump and plat
form. He has gone into the press
to call him approbrious names and
he has been pushing this case with
all of his energy and animosity. He
has always characterized the action
of the respondent and particularly
the things outlined in his informa-
ton herein as atrocious crimes"
Gilliom went 80 far" the brief
continued, as to ask the court to
increase the penalty, but has since
changed his front" and says that
the actions and conduct of respond
ent are no offense within the
meaning of the constitution"
Conduct 'TnOffenSive"
'If this alleged conduct was not
an offense, it was inoffenSive. 1t
was harmless and this court should
make proper amends to this
respondent for the conviction and
punishment which it has inflicted"
The brief recalled that two of the
five supreme court judges dissented
in the finding of guilty. 1t declared
that "a pardon is not necessarily a
reflection on the court"
"a court looks only to the facts Of
the particular case and the law re-
lating thereto, while the Governor
has a broader horizon" said the
brief. HE takes into consideration
the welfare of the state as whole,
the physical condition of the parties
convicted, their relation to the vari-
Gus interests of the state, and from
all of the facts and circumstances
decides that it is to the best interest
of the commonwealth that a pardon
should be issued"
