dance with Lila. She hated to miss

They were given time to nibble on
the first course of supper. Not much
time and not much supper. The
musicians began softly tuning UP
their instruments.
And then BERTHE Lou got a lucky

spoke to Tom.

But that, BERTHE Lou was sure
before the music crashed into the
third number, would be the end of

playing up to the stranger, Mr..
Loree. She had her heart and soul
in her work.
Mr.. Loree was an oldish man, but
he carried the stamp of success in
his crisp speech and sure, brisk
manner. BERTHE Lou rather liked

She was further annoyed at the

MOLLY suggested taking two cabs
lVI to the club. There's no sense
getting crushed" She was thinking
of her new errnine coat.
"Let's," Lila agreed, and while
they waited she found an opportu
nifty for a whispered word TO her
hostess.
When the first cab drew up to
the curb Molly rnotioned BERTHE Lou
to get in. "You first" BERTHE Lou
said, stepping aside. Molly laughed
and took her by the arm.
To resist would have shown that

while Rod was engaged in. signal

Tom to come and join her. Tom
delayed until the other cab came
to a stop and Lila turned toward it.
Then he got in with Molly and
BERTHE Lou. He was perfectly in
nocent. 1t seemed a natural thing
to do.
The distance to the club was
short, but heavy traffic delayed
them. When finally the two cabs
arrived before the unpretentiouS
entrance of the ArabeSque Lila had
enjoyed her moment" with Rod
At least she gave the impression
of having enjoyed it though Rod
hadn't thought it anything. Lila was
too intelligent to spoil her evening
at its inception.
Later. when gaiety and the at
mosphere of the club had tllawed
out Rods feeling of self-conscious-
ness she hoped to get closer to him.
She didn't know from experience
what help she could expect from
the relaxing influences of a supper
club, but she'd heard of people who
had completely forgotten them
selves there, their inhibitions, and
other things. Perhaps Rob would
forget that he shouldn't be inter-
ested in her any more. -.
BERTHE Lou rcted the self-satisf1ed
smile on Lilas lips as she stepped
from the taxicab. She glanced
quickly at Rod.

for the star.
BERTHE Lou was fascinated with

1t was about garden. And there

him. Too good for Lila, but,
strangely, he seemed to return her
interest.
Neither Tom nor Molly cared par
ticularly for dancing. Mr.. Loree
did. Lila was now perfectly will
ing to let BERTHE Lou have all the
dances with Rod.
So it turned out to be a much
happier evening for BERTHE Lou than
she had anticipated. And the show
was what Tom called a wow"
Little girls with wise eyes and
pert legs ponied out ahead of a
principal and tossed balloons to the
patrons.
To the ends of the stems toy
jazz makers were attached. The
singer came on and pleaded with
everyone to make music for her.
Queer sounds suddenly filled the
smoky air as the jewellers endeav-
ored to favor her.

said, she's good. Came to New York

Probe Situation in Capital.

Protesting against any increase in car
fares in the District of Columbia, the
board of representatives of Federal EN-
pioyeS Union, No. g. at meeting held
last night at ITO Fourteenth street,
asked for IAN investigation by Con-
gress of the entire transportation queS-
: ton in the National Capital" This
/ action was taken unanimously, and in a
resolution the organization, which acted
in the name of 5000 members of Local
NO 2 Of the Federation of Federal EN-
ployeS asserted that "the existing car
fare Of 8 cents, or six tickets for 40
cents. is already excessive and repre-
6entS proflteering, in that it gives much
more than fair return upon all money
actually invested in the properties"
> The resolution stated that "the slender
: salaries of the great body of Federal en-
ployes in Washington, already depleted
: by excessive rents, are in danger of
: further depletion by proposed increase
. In street car fares, street cars being the
means of transportation to and from
work of a vast majority of Government
employees"
. Copies of the resolution are to be sent
: TO the District Commissioners and in
, terested committees of Congress, and
the body voted to vigorously press this
F. matter" when Congress assemblies.

II KILLED, 40 HURT
IN TRAIN COLLISION
Death Toll in Crash May Be 20
When All Bodies Are
Recovered.

BY the Associated Press.
GLOUCESTER, England. October 13.
AT least IL persons were killed with
the possibility that the complete roll will
be 20. in triple train collision this
morning on the Birmingham-B Bristol
line, The bodies of the victims we're so
mutilated that none had been identified
this afternoon.
The number of injured was estimated
at 40.
The collision resulted from a delay III
getting a freight train of the main line
to a siding. First there was collision
between an express train and a freight
and then a third train running on a
parallel track crashed into the wreck
age.
To add to the horror Of the crash, fire
followed from gasoline and oil carried
on one of the freight trains.
Today's wreck was the third railroad
collision in Britain within the last three
days resulting in death.

President Coolidge apparently does not
understand Spanish, so he hung up his
receiver during this conversation. The
SpaniardS were followed by Acting Sec
retary of State Reuben Clark, who con-

Among officials listening in around
the large table in the Chamber OF
Commerce board room were representa-
tives of the State Department, the
Spanish embassy and the United States
Chamber of Commerce and Alexander

The conversation across the seas was
carried on without a hitch and the
voices of the far-away dignitaries
sounded clear and distinct in the re-
ceivers. The President, sitting at the
head of the room, used an ordinary
desk telephone. A spotlight was con-
centrated upon him so that movie
cameras could record the event.
