WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE big
parties show their good this
year in making their campaign head
quarters in Washington.
This is the logical place for EN-.
Generally the bosses have pre-
ferred New York or Chicago. In 1924
they preferred 'em both-the demo-
Gratis Manhattan and the republicans
the city by the lake. IL was an in
convenient arrangement. to say the
least. Politicians head naturally for
the capital. The machinery's here.
Anywhere else il has 20 be temporar-
lily set up, and it doesn't work so well
The republican organizations heart
will beat, for the next three or four
months, on the fourth floor of
what's known as the Barr building,
IN Seventeenth street, overlooking
Farrsgut square.
It's a nice place-one of the pref
test in town. The buildings new
the mortar scarcely dry yet.

leave you 10 your thoughts-or
thought, rather. Well, anyway, you
picked out & handsome devil, which
a more than | ever did. Love was
always blind where l was concerned"
When Flayia left, Janet sank into
a chair and stared ut the floor, lost
in her thoughts. Her affection for
poor Flavia was stronger than ever.
She felt that she must have suf-
| fered a great deal to have acquired
such a misguided angle to life.
Flavia sent Lotus Flower up In
the afternoon to help Janet clean the
studio. II needed it badly. Lotus,
who was very fond of Janet because
she was 50 beautiful, sat her in a
chair and refused TO allow her to
work. Lotus was picking things up
when she smiled her oriental grin
at Janet's protests.
"All right, Missee. You help Lotus
Flower. Play piano"
For an hour Janet played and sang
for the little Chinese while she
worked. There was worship in the
dark, slanted eyes, as they followed
Janet's beautiful hands ove the
keys. When the work was finished
she stood beside the piano, eyes
downcast and little hands folded.
Janet looked up and laughed.
"Why. Lotus, you look blue"
She shrugged her shoulders and
sighed.
"oh, me want make plitty melody.
Lotus one stick-in-mud."
Janet caught her hands and laugh
ed until Lotus caught the spirit and
laughed, too-something she very
rarely did. Then Janet sat her down
on the beach and taught her II Love
the Boys and the Boys Love Ne"
She was amazed at the clever way in
which Lotus Flower learned. In
fifteen minutes she was playing it
! perfectly.
Janet had made one friend fer life.
From that time on Lotus would have
laid down her life for her. Her
friendship was to NEAR q great deal
to Janet in the months TO come.
Janet took a nap during the tea
hour, and had just finished her bath
and dressed, when the bell rang. She
was dumbfounded when Putty Bige-
low came sailing in as though he had
been calling on her for years. She
didn't like the idea. Putty was fun
ny and amusing. But she couldnt
like him. There was something weak
about his chin and eyes-"Putty"
was n good nickname for him. She
thought suddenly that he looked like
putty. Putty face!
There was no doubt in her mind
but that Putty would try TO get
fresh. She couldn't imagine him
dropping in just to say "how-do-
you-do." He grabbed Janet around
the waist and lifted her up.
"Hello, sister. I'm heavens sweet
answer TO all your applications.
Aren't you glad 10 see mel"

CHAPTER XIV

At that moment the door opened
and Flavia sailed in, her PekineSe
under one arm and a package under
the other. Janet was suddenly
struck with the way Flavia looked
old and worn and tired. There were
circles under her eyes and wrinkles
that the makeup could not hide.
Janet rushed to her and threw her
arms around her. She felt a sudden
rush of pity. Flavia dropped the dos
and kissed her cheek.

Janet laughed and pushed Flavia
to the divan.
That's my one and only"
Flavia raised her brows and folded
her hands.
YEA thought you had something
up your sleeve. Where did you meet
him."
"Oh, in the hospital when I got
smashed into by the cab. He was
my doctor. And ! proceeded &c date
him up
Flavia was amused. She pointed a
finger at Janet and looked serious.
"Young-un, he is your fatel I see
il in the stars. / can tell by the way
you looked at him and the way he
looked at you"
Janet was thrilled.
ooh, my goodness, Flaviai How
did he look at me? Tell ne about it.
Do you think he likes me ="

to correct the faux pas.

around to make sure nobody else got
generous and offered to-"
Janet grinned foolishly and made
a little face. Her voice was little.
"Fiavia, how car a woman make a
man care for her-I mean, love her
a lot-always?"
Flavia's laugh was a rather shrill,
hopeless one.
"Oh. Janet, you are so young, dear!
Men don't love women always. They
love them a little while-until some
else q little prettier and more

lieye all that rot about love lasting
all the time. | don't want you to.
1t will hurt you too much when you
find out it is all a lot Of bunk"
Janet stared at Flavia in amaze
ment. She was serious. Her eyes
were hard and her voice cold. She
was not fooling. Janet felt n sinking
sensation about her heart. She didn't
want to believe that. Could it be
true?
Flavia reached over and took her
hand.
Listen, Janet. Take love where
you find it while you can get it.
Don't 20 through the best years of
your life with your head in the stars
and your heart on your sleeve. I

Janet put her arms around Flavie
and held her tightly.
why. Flavia, why 90 you talk like
that? You are a beautiful woman,
and you have lots Of mone and
friends. You sound as though you
were through-or had something ter

Flavia's voice was hollow

I'm telling you If you care for this

Janet was Mortified. She pulled
away and stared until Flavia laughed.
"My goodness, how shocked and
serious you look." She took her
hand and patted il.
"Janet, you think you are in love
with this Riley, don't your"
Janet's head went up.

By ignoring prohibition. the Hoover party are
placing their stamp Of approval on a De facto condi-
ton in this nation which has encouraged crime waves
of unprecedented proportions within the past eight
years, and has generated a cycle Of moral hypocrisy
and political cowardce equaled only by the fall Of the
Caesars.
The people themselves will make their own issues
on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember, and if eight-tenths of the political reaction in
both parties is not predicated upon prohibition-pro
or con-I confess myself completely out Of touch with
current political affairs.
In regard to the liquor issue the republican party IS
making the same mistake as have fanatics and "antip
leagues, namely, viewing prohibition as sacred and a
thing apart from our ~workaday world. If prohibition
Is sacred, then bootlegging, bribery and official en-
forcement corruption are virtues. If prohibition is not
an issue there will be little if any political honesty in
the campaign.
Ny right and your rights to oppose the Eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act is just as inalienablc
and just as sacred as is our right to cast a ballot on
election day. Let the ~doubter, the hypocrite and the
bigot cry notification" until he is black in the face,
and our right to oppose bad laws will still be as in
herently just as is our right to 1egislate good laws.
The south may be politically dry, but you cannot
FOOL the southerners with suicidal dry propaganda or
political nostrums Of uncertain ingredients.

Bill Is Not Law By Failure to Veto When Closing of First
 Session InterVeneS

The Court of Claims, in a decision rendered April 16, held that a bill w.:Ich passed both the Senate and the House of Representative at the fist session of the SiXty-ninth Con- grrss prior to adjournment thereof diL not approve or sign the bill pri- or to adjournment of that session. within eight days, Sunday excepted af ar the bill was presented to him.
 The opinion states that it is con coded that the exact question has not been decided heretofore by tEn Federal Courts.
 The suit was brought against thn I',ited States by certain Indian tribes, under authority of an act Of Congress described as Senate bill No. 3lS5, SiXty-ninth Congress, first st caion, entitled An Act authoriz- in,' certain Indian tribes and bands o1 any of them residing in the State o+ Washington, to present their claims to the Court of Claims" Un- del the rule stated above, the cour- he'd that the bill did not become a law so as to confer jurisdiction up on that court.
 Representative Dill, (Dem.) O. Waterville, Wash, when informed of the decision, stated orally that t-.e issue was of such importance tnat it would undoubtedly be carried to the Supreme Court by the at- torney, W. s. Lewis, of Spokane for the Indians in the State of Wash iHs+On. If the Supreme Court re. turns a decision that the bill is not a law then, he said, he would intro duce it and try to get the Presidents signature.

 Eight days thereafter, Sunday excepted, there was final adjourn mont of the SiNtyntnth Congress The President did not approve or sigh the bill.

 The plaintiffs contended that the bill became a law. The Govern ment urged the contrary.
 The court says in the opinion:
