PASSING OF GILLETT
IN BAY STATE SEEN
Senator Declared to Have Disturbed
Party's Calm by Backing
Hoover and Moses.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
BOSTON, Mass. February 4.-United
States Senator Frederick II. Gillett is
credited with having done more to dis
turb the ordinary calm and quiet OF
the Republicans Of Massachusetts than
any other member of the party and
there is a strong element in favor OF
reading him right out of thr Bay
States political picture. His term ex-
pireS in 1880 and it Is reported that
he will voluntarily step out Of public
life at that time although this state
ment has been made not by himself
Although knowing he was 10 be given
a place on the slate Of candidates for
the seven places Of delegates at large
and also knowing that the party leaders
were planning to have this slate UNI
pledged, Senator Gillett announced
himself for Herbert Hoover He paid
glowing tribute TO the Secretary OF
Commerce. and made his announcement
at time when there was a movement
under way to hold the Massachusetts
delegation together by having 1t un-
officially pledged to Gov. Avian T
Fuller. This movement was looked
upon more as an attempt to block the
Hoover camps aspirations than 1t was
a real favorite son action.
Not satisfied with the furore caused By
his first announcement. the Senator
proceeded TO follow it up few days
later with the declaration that he favors
the nomination OF Senator George H.
Moses of New Hampshire for Vice
President The second announcement
indicated that he was we'll aware of
what he was doing and IL served TO
emphasize that he was speaking solely
for himself. without having discussed
the situation with the leaders Of the
party in the State
Mr. Butler. as chairman of the Ma
tional Committee has problems enough
on his hands but it now appears that
he Will fnd one OF his hardest assign
ments in his and the Presidents home
State. II may mean that Senator Gil
lett will be denied place on the Off
cial states OF candidates for delegates
at large. in which event there are M
morS that he will buck the slate by
heading a group OF out-and-out Hoover
candidates in direct opposition TO the
present party leaders.
1t does not appear that Senator Gil
lett could be successful in heading
victorious Hoover slate. but he could
greatly embarraSs Mr. Butler and the
organization. WENDELL d, HOWE.

FIRE DRIVE INAUGURATED 4
IN APARTMENT HOUSES
Inspectors to Impress Upon Ten
ants That Alarm Devices Do Not
Summon Apparatus.

An educational campaign designed to
avert serious apartment house fires was
inaugurated today by Fire Chief George
S. Watson, who instructed his inspec-
tors to notify managers Of apartment
houses to impress upon their tenants
the fact that breaking the glass In the
fire alarm devices in the hallway does
not summon fire apparatus, but simply
sets warning gongs ringing throughout
the building to arouse the tenants.
Chief Watson pointed out that there
have been several delays in the arrival
OF fire apparatus. owing to the belief
of some tenants that breaking the glass
OF the warning devices turns In fire
alarm. Delay in turning In the genuine
alarms has given headway which would
have been extinguished easily had an
alarm been turned In at the time OF
discovery.
In the case OF small apartment
houses which do not have resident
managers the inspectors have been
directed to visit each tenant. making
clear the point that the alarms within
the building are only local devices.

By the Ass0ciated Press.
NEW YORK. February 9.--provision
was made for an early study OF equal
ization of rates from the Central
Freight Association territory of the
United States to European ports In
resolution adopted yesterday by the
North Atlantic United Kingdom Frcigh:
Conference. l., ~. :.
The movement for equalization was
begun with a petition submitted to the
Shipping Board by the Maritime EX-
change of the Boston Chamber OF Com
merce, which later enlisted the aid Of
New York. Two weeks ago the Shipping
Board directed the Merchant Fleet
Corporation to take up the question
with the freight conference.
The present rate structure was
adopted during the war when rail
differentials we're allowed Philadelphia
Va, to offset advantages as 70 ocean
rates existing at that time In favor OF
New York and Boston. Later the ocean
rates were equalized, but the rail rates
were left unchanged.
Because of the present rate schedule,
Boston and New York interests have
claimed that railroad freight rates to
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Norfolk,
which are shorter hauls. are lower than
those to New York and Boston.
The resolution adopted by the Ship
ping Board two weeks ago suggested an
adjustment either by advancing rates
from ports south Of New York and rates
from Montreal. or by lowering rates
from Boston and New York.

his smile was a bit twisted) that she
could be beautiful If she would try

And if you would let your hair

straight, light hair should never

Jane rallied bit at her fate and
Lynwood Charming caught something
OF the miserable state of her mind.
Upon leaving he tossed bill to her.
Here's your pay for posing" he
smiled. Take it and buy yourself a
few things to doll up with, Don't
mind if Grannie does call it 'primp-
ping It's romance you're wanting
every girls hirthright Your prince
will come-when you're ready for him. !"
He shot the powerful roadster forward
and a moment later was lost to sight
Jane picked up the bill and gazed
at it, 1t was the first money she had
ever earned. She pressed 1t tenderly
to her sheek-her freckled cheek.
Then her head came up. What had
he meant-"Your prince will come
when you're ready for him" Would
he-would Lynwood Channing-the
artist--come back? James heart throb-
bed at the thought.
The family informed all the neigh
bors that Jane had posed for an artist.
that her picture would be in the August
number of the Homestead. They all
said that Jane must be sure to show
them the copy-of course. Jane had
subscribed for it. Jane hinted to the
girls vaguely that Lynwood Charming
was coming back They looked long and
earnestly at Jane as though wondering
what it was all about.
Bill Terry came as usual on Sunday
afternoon.
Il hear you've turned out to be an
artists model jamie" he said Don't
you reckon I'll be getting jealous?"
Jane hadn't wanted Bill to come that
day. She would rather stay in her attic
room and read the new magazine she
had borrowed from Lettie Wilkins-had
rather live in dream world of romance
than hear Bill talk about alfalfa and
cantaloupes Anyway. what he said
gave her an idea She would become a
model-if Lvnwood Charming had
chosen her for his magazine illustra-
tions when she looked like she did that
day, what would he think of her few
months from now?

Imply to her side. She had never
looked like thatl ''The Homely Heroinel"
Then he had thought her homely-but
surely she had not looked like that to
himl How could he have conceived of
one so slovenly, so horribly homely, as
the girl in the pictures? What would
the girls say? What would Bill Terry
say? What would Vena say--to Bill?
Before Jane knew 1t she was crying.
Bill Terry drove over that night.
Il got a copy of the Homestead to-
day, Jane, and / came over to find out
If you know the address of that fellow
who drew those pictures--I want to
punch his headl'
why those pictures were all right"
said Jane, moving nearer the light.
"They look Just like used tot"

(Jane had been through terrible
siege with bleaching creams-Aher face
peeled of and the family declared she'd
been into poison Ivy. But Jane was
warm and purring inside over the re-
sultS.)
Yes. she would become a model. Bill
Terry would not have to call her atten-
ton to suggestions on how to keep but
ter fresh and sweet. And she told Bill
so. 1t brought about their first serious
quarrel But Jane was through with
the Bill Terrys of this world.
When her brother, Tom, became the
happy father of son Jane insisted
that they call him Lynwood. But An

You can save that name for your
own, jamie. This boys name is

Bill crossed the room to her In a
quick stride.
Say, jamie, what on earth? Gosh,
but you're prettyl They've been telling
me-but I thought they were just try
ing to rub things in! But you're so d.
vinely charming-as Berton, in Pat
tering Feet says-that I've sure enough
got something to be jealous about now.
Say. jamie, you didn't mean what you
said about becoming model, did you?"
A year later Toms wife said to Jane,
II suppose his name Is LynWood?"
And Jane, the little new mother, pro-
tested

Jane sat on the bank of the old fish

while the Spring breeze lifted her dun
cclored hair playfully, The sun and
wind would make more freckies but
what did she care? Bill Terry would
never noticei His eyes were only for
mules and jersey cows. He had no

Bill was prosperous and he was the

why she always fell back TO him. For

The sound of an automobile draw

into James thoughts. A moment later
q man in travelling togS crashed through
the underbrush few feet from her and
exclaimed aloud at the beauty OF the
old fishing hole. Then he saw Jane.

She would love for him to see the
