The Methodist ministers of
Washington today joined those
in other parts Of the country
in a fight to the finish against
Governor Smith and in favor
of Herbert Hoover for the

In a formal report adopted by
g. meeting OF the Washington
preachers meeting of the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church the church
declares that 1t would mot only re.
fuse to support wet party or a
wet candidate" but would actively
oppose such with every available
means.
Method Up to Pastors
The conference also puts its
stamp of approval on preaching
against Governor Smith from the
pulpit by leaving the method by
which each minister shall serve
his cause and help to defeat the
enemies of righteousness and re-
form" to his individual judgment.
I'VE are not preaching politics
we are preaching righteousness and
moral reform" was the explanation
In the statement.
"The welfare of every home and
of every child in the country is
involved in the outcome. We have
our marching orders. We cannot
be siIenced by misrepresentation
boycott, or persecution. We have
taken our stand as church and
have done so In advance of party
positions or candidates and we pro
pose to maintain 1t.
Names Do Not Appear.
Nowhere in the report do the
words Smith and Hoover appear.
but the implication throughout is
unmistakablc.
The report was adopted unani-
mously after brief discussion in

that he had embezzled sums rum

A considerable sum-. the exact
amount of which was not revealed

misjudged her. And as his admira-
ton for the way she played the
game with Cyrus grew, he was led
into a feeling of tenderness for her
that was only a step removed from
love.
And all this time Lila was making
herself Seductively beautiful before
him.
She used their social contacts to
give him ample opportunity to
know the soft sickness of her gold
en- hair, to feel the satin touch OF
her dainty hands, and the supple
roundness Of her figure.
She danced with flavor of aban-
comment, and when they sat to-
gether she had way of nesting
close to him that stopped just short
of being openly familiar. But as yet
Rod did not know that she was play
ing up to him, leading him on.
He became aware of her allure
without realizing that she was con-
sciously using it to enmesh him, to
win him back to her.
He soon reached the stage of wish
ing he could tell her that he was in
love with her again-that their
broken engagement had been a mis-
take, and al THAT followed it had
been mistake. But BERTHE Lou and
Cyrus could not be wished out OF
the way.
Feeling thus about Lila and res
pecting the sanctity of his marital
bonds as we'll as hers, it angered
him to have BERTHE Lou touch upon
his relations with Lila as she might
have mentioned a sordid, common
place Irritation.
Besides, it was poor sportsman
ship to scratch the hand that had
reached out to pull her up to the
lap of luxury, Rod thought. He
did not admire BERTHE Lou at that
moment.
"You seem to have picked up
some unsavory ideas while you were
away" he said coldly. Perhaps it
would be best for you not to go to
the Lorees until you've got rid of
them"
BERTHE LOUIS anger famed forth
at that. 'Unsavory ideas!" she
cried. I'D like to know what you
think of yourself!"
She did not wait for a reply but
flew out of the living room and
into the bedroom, where she seized
the handbag she had carried on the
train and dug out the card Marco
Palmer had given her.
Holding it tightly in her hand
she went to the telephone and
called the number he had penciled
on it.
Rod followed her into the bed
room and heard her ask for Mr.
Palmer. The lines about his mouth
showed plainly in the set express
sion of his temper. So she really
knew Marco Palmer!
He made no effort to interfere
with her call. BERTHE Lou jumped
as he slammed the door of his
dressing room behind him.
Then a wave of despair swept

over her, and if the young man she
was calling had not answered. al
that instant she would have hung
up the receiver.
In fact, she hadn't been at all de-
termined to go out with him.
Their casual acquaintance on the
train had been very pleasant, but
BERTHE Lou had turned deaf eaI
to his persistent pleas for date
with her.
But now that she needed some
one to help her achieve a gesture OF
indifference to Rod and to his en-
gagement to dine with Lila, she
didn't care in the least that Marco
Palmer was a young man whose
escapades freqently made the front
pages of the newspapers generally
when he was reported engaged to
some Broadway show girl.
Even then she might have found
some pretext for calling him with
out suggesting going to dinner with
him if Rod had not come out Of his
dressing room, robe over his arm
to ask her if she wanted the bath
before she went out.
BERTHE Lou, fresh and dainty as a
flower, resented his indifference tc
her immaculate appearance.
And he was letting her go out
with another man without one WORD
of protest. BERTHE Lou was unable
to perceive that he was too coldly
furious with her to care what she
did
She told Marco, somewhat to his
surprise, that she would keep hel
dinner date. Had he her address?
Eight o'clock? Right!
BERTHE Lou took her time about
hanging up the receiver and turn
ing to Rod, "I've bathed, thank you, ~
she said politely. Rod did not
answer.
BERTHE Lou went into her own
dressing room and remained there
until Rod left the apartment,
though she had changed into an
evening dress and been ready for
some time.
When Marco came for her there
was an unnatural brightness in her
eyes and she was too prone to laugh
over nothing. But Marco was not
critical. He told her she was a
knockout.
How about a drive up the
Bronx River Parkway and dinner
at Sherrards?" he asked. BERTHE
Lou did not care where they went
so long as the place promised to be
gay.

pulling a hip flask. "All we neec

BERTHE Lou regarded the flash

Then she remembered. She haC

And in sudden, very real frenzy,
for she was seeing her not-quite-
