5OO-MILE GRIND BRINGS FAME TO
 YOUNG DRYERS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 21 The distance from obscurity to fame in the automobile racing game measures exactly 300 miles around brick paved track at the Indianapolis Speedway.
 A trio of American speed kings have traversed this path to blaze their hitherto unheard of names in bold letters from coast to coast.
 Two live to tell of their con quest for gold and glory. One rests in grave after a gallant attempt for the world speed cham pionship. Louis Meyer, winner of the 1928 Speedway contest, and George Souders, 1927 winners, are known throughout the racing world today. The late Frank Lockhart. who won the Indian apolis honors in 1926 and who pelished at Daytona Beach, Fla, in speed trial this year. carved a like niche in the automotiye hall of fame.
 None of these three was given any rating as race driver before his Speedway victory, and none was thought to be a serious con tender for honors in the event at the time of his entry.
 Lockhart and Souders were strictly dirt track drivers before their victories in the Indiana Meyer had driven at As cot Speedway, Los Angeles, an oiled dirt track, and had but few laps of speedway experience. He attributed his victory to the training given him by Frank Elliott, racing star of other years. who was speedway driver, but the Ascot Speedway dirt track ex- perience cannot be overlooked.
 A complete unknown, SoudersI came directly from the dirt tracks of the central west last year toI ride to speedway victory. In 1926 young Lockhart came out H the West from a number of California dirt track victories to lead tho way.

PHEASANTS ARE
 THRIVING NOW
Reports Indicate Bill Fay lor's Birds Are Multi
 plying Near Here

Word that the pheasants i'm ported to Alaska several years ago by Billie Taylor, wall known candy maker and sportsman of Juneau, are thriving in this vicin- ity has been brought in from va rious points during the last few days.
 Members of the local Scout troops, who have been at Eagle River camping for the last two weeks, have seen a female pheas- ant and a brood of chicks near the end of the road at Eagle River, and have taken pictures of the birds.
 Charles Rudy, who is caring for the pheasants in captivity at Goldstein's fox ranch, and Mrs. J.. B. Marshal, who is raising pheasants at her fox farm, re- port the birds are thriving
 Taylor Takes Initiative
 Mr. Ta,lo has been instrument tai in getting the birds into Alas ka and himself purchased the first bunch ever to come into the Territory. He has also shipped some to other places but these experiments were failures as the birds were not properly cared for. Y He expects to ship number of eggs to Judge c. E. Bunnell of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, where they will be matched, and the chicks raised
 At Goldstein's ranch, where the birds were taken from town, they were let loose from time to time. Some would return every few days, but gradually grew away from their wire homes. It is probable the birds seen a. Eagle River are a product of the orig inals brought to Juneau.
 Game Commission Helps Z It is the purpose of MT. Taylor, and the Alaska Game Commits sion, which is backing him in the enterprise, to populate the Terri tory with the pheasant in order to give hunters another variety of upland birds.
 At the present time there is a law against shooting pheasants, and anyone convicted of such an act is liable to minimum fine of $25 or maximum penalty of $500 fine and six months impris, onment or both. This law puts

ELKS AND MOOSE
 TANCLE TONIGHT

As the Elks have already cinched top place in the first half of the City League, the con test tonight between the Moose and the Bills will not be critical, but may decide the status of the Moose.
 If the Paps cop the game to- night they will, at the worst, be definitely out of cellar place and will have a chance for triple tie for second place, whereas. if they lose they will still have an opportunity to be accompanied in the cellar, but will be out of any chance for second honors.
 P. Schmitz and Nello are bill ed to open for the Moose, while Koski will heave and Blake re- ceive for the Elks. The contest will be seven innings and is to start at 6:30 o'clock.

FEAR OF BREAK
IN DAM ABATES
End of Rain May Avert
Structure Collapse.
By United Press

By United Press
GREENVILLE, S. c., May g.
Fears that the Greenville City
waterworks dam at Table Rock Cove
would give way abated today, with
a cessation of the rainstorm that
has added to the great volume Of
water held in the reservoir.
Predictions today were for fair
weather, which will come as a
needed relief to the thousands Of
residents of the South Saluda
valley, forced to leave their home
when the dam started crumbling.
Many have been living in the
open and Red Cross relief was sent
to them yesterday.
Engineers examined the dam
yesterday and indicated it was in
much safer condition than for
several days. However. the vigilant
watch around the portion that has
crumbled away in the last few days
was maintained.
At Piedmont, S. c., thirty miles
below the dam, residents were
much more optimistic today, and
the Piedmont Manufacturing COM
pany ordered its employees to re-
turn to work.

proachfully. That's what her in
fuence has done for you. Monoga-
nous! My God! Amt nature
wonderful"
Must you be vulgar?" Nathaniel
asked quietly.
20, I don't care what I am" Chiri
cried with genuine tears in her eyes.
They were, however, tears of exas-
peration. you're the only man 1
love and you have to go monoga-
NOUS"
Nathaniel laughed. "You talk as
if that were a political platform.
Chiri, I'm ashamed of you, honestly
I am. Do you think even if I loved
you I'd let myself be just another
scalp at your belt? I'm beginning
to be afraid of you"
THE trouble with you, Mel, you
ought to have more conceit. Why
should you care what brand rny af-
fections bear? It's my love I'm talk
ing about and guess I know more
about it than you do. I'll guaran-
tee it's interesting"
mot to me, Chir1; please believe
that. And there's the doorbell. A
nice mess if it's Virginia. If it is,
for heavens sake behave yourself. "
He moved off to answer the sum-
mons and the6eirl looked after him
with mutinous eyes. She could not
have him. Not now. She knew
that. But men change. Things
change. And nothing could make
her stop trying. There hadn't been
another man like Nathaniel Damn.
If only she could make him say,
Just once, II love you'll"
Suddenly, like cat springing, she
reached out and grasped a beautiful
purple and white orchid in her slim,
nervous fingers and crushed it spite
fully. 1t gave her the feel of hurt
ing the girl who had won forever
what she desired and could not have
for even one hour.
Between her and the door stood a
screen. She glanced at it with
eyes made x-ray by her obsession.
Nathaniel was kissing his love-she
knew that, and if she hadn't known
already she would have when she
saw the girls face.
1t was radiantly beautiful as only
the face Of a woman happy in love
can be. Niels kisses seemed to lin
ger in the shining tenderness of the
clear gray eyes and the curves of
the smiling lips.
Chiri hated to look at it when
Nathaniel introduced her to Vir-
GINA. And the voice that greeted
her afforded further irritation. 1t
held notes like those that Nathaniel
coaXed from his violoncello when
he played under the stars on hot
nights.
Chiri loved poetry, beauty in sight
and sound. She knew that Nathan
iel loved it, too. And here he had
found his dream girl. Chiri could
see that.
For a moment she felt defeated
without hope. But having her way
with Nathaniel had become like the
battle of life itself to her. She could
not give up.
But she knew she could gain moth
ing by creating a scene, and her
passion being what it was-a flame
which she fed with conquests and
feeting satisfactions-she was able
to control it, to speak calmly and
act with ease.
She might believe herself desper-
ately infatuated with Nathaniel, but
she would never be swept into an

unconventional, was done with pur-

What did you say her name is?"
Virginia asked Nathaniel when
Chiri had left them.
"Chiri, as though you spelled it
CHEEKY Odd, isn't It? Says it is
part of the name of a South Ameri-
can fruit. Must have had strange
parents, poor little kid"
"She seems sort Of E. tropi-
cal. Who is she, what does she do?
Paint?"
"Well, she calls herself a student
model. Really gets serious now and
then and tries to work, but mostly
she models"
Deliberately Nathaniel watched
Virginia then Chiri had not been
the first to plant the seed Of doubt
in his mind about the success of
the marriage of an artist to one who
might be presupposed not to under
stand art.
Would she be common minded
about models?

Nathaniel went on, still watching.

spoke. For your illustrations.
can see she was the woman'S fig
ure."
Virginia did not know why he did
it. He came and took her in his
arms and said, Virginia, you are
sweet"
She hadn't even thought about
nudity! The figure she mentioned
was clothed. He had sought to
make her think Chiri was the4ove-
ly figure in the mural drawings, to
get her reaction. And she hadn't
had any. No more than an artist
visiting him and discussing the
same subject would have had.
No, certainly Virginia wasn't 60
ing to be cheap about his models.
He had known that all the time. He
felt he couldn't have loved her if
he'd been less sure of her fine mind
what made you do that?" she
asked him when he released her.
"You. You come over me some
times like a wave of something ]
can't resist. I'll always have to kiss
you, Virginia, when 1 feel like that.
Good gracious. If it happens any
time?"
ANY time"
"Well, if the attacks aren't too
close together we might arrange to
have them happen in privacy. Dc
you think you will have another one
tonight?"
Right now"
The malady was cured for the
moment by the ringing of the door
bell. "Is it your father?" Nathaniel
asked.
mo, it must be the first of your
guests, Mel. Dads terribly disap-
pointed. He said he must see some
one on very important business to-
night"
I'm sorry" Nathaniel said, and
meant it. He genuinely liked Vir-
ginias father. Before he had be-
come engaged to her he had feared
that Richard Brewster, millionaire
would not welcome poor artist fol
a son-in-law, however rising he
might be.
1t would be a disappointment not
to have him here tonight when Vir-

crisis.
THROUGH it all Jack, who
n was then 10, stood erect and
unabashed. Mrs. Knight and the
principal were both aware of
what a fine figure of boy-man
he seemed. That only added to
their evaporation.

plea. "You look like a gentle

NEW YORK. May 9.-Continued
prosperity in the United States was
predicted by Henry Ford when he
returned today on the majestic from
his trip abroad.
ct am confident that current
prosperity in the United States will
continue" Ford said. 1.-THE business
outlook is good and there is no
factor in sight to disturb its future. 4"
With Mrs. Ford, the automobile
man travelled on the liner as "Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Robinson" but the
incognito was merely a pleasant
subterfuge that had no effect in
concealing his identity from the
passengers.
Regarding production of the Ford
Motor Company, Ford said about
100000 orders were on hand and
that production was being increased
as fast as possible to meet the de-
mand.
Business Good in England
Business conditions in England
are good and are improving steadily,
Ford said.
Among his fellow passengers were
Samuel insult, Harvey S. Firestone
Jr, Bertrand L. Taylor, member of
the governing body of the New York
Stock Exchange, and Charles S.
Pillsbury, vice president of the Pills
bury flour mills.
Asked about reports that Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh would become
associated with the Ford interests
before starting his air tour of the
world, Ford said:
you will have to see Edsel about
that"
Denies Deal With Junkers
The automobile manufacturer was
interested intensely in the trip of
DR.. Hugo JunkerS, manufacturer Of
the Bremen, to the United States,
but denied he and Junkers would
pool their aviation interests.
Ford sat in the regal suite Of the
Majestic and chatted freely with re-
porters, explaining he had the time
Of his life on this trip"
ION the return voyage my wife
and I danced the polka and other
old-fashioned dances every night.
We enjoyed them lots.
England is a great country. Every
one there is a gentleman and you
can come and go as you please. We
spent most of the time motoring
through southern England, where
the roads are perfect.
Aviation in Infancy
Aviation is just in its infancy
there, as it is here. I think the next
problem airplane builders must solve
is how to make a plane leave the
ground without getting up so much
speed on the take-off."
Mrs. Ford, dressed in a rose-col-
ored ensemble, read a book while her
husband was being interviewed.
Fellow passengers said they were
surprised how democratic Ford was
on the trip. He mingled with them
freely, they said, and seemed like a
boy out for a holiday.
Stewards of the Majestic said
Ford's tips were not so large as they
thought they would be, but all ex-
pressed personal liking for him.

Officials Of the foreign Office and

Yesterday it was announced Off

learned Carol planned to fly from
the Croydon airdrone, Saturday, to
Rumania, and distribute manifestos
announcing his willingness to as
sumo the throne now held by his
small son, King Michael.
The British prevented Carol from
making this fight, it was an
nounced, on the grounds he did not
have the necessary papers to land
in Rumania.
The Evening Standard, in an in
terview with the former Rumanian
crown prince, quoted him as saying:
There is no plot, but the mo-
ment has come, and I am now

The newspaper said this referred
to his plans to reclaim the Ruman-
