ENGLAND GIVEN
new HOPE that
KING WILL LIVE
Crowds Assemble Outside
Palace and Sing as
1928 Passes.
BY KEITH JONES

D~~~-
LONDON, Jan. las Big Ben
sounded the knell of 1928, thousands
of revellers-some in evening clothes
and some in tatters-sang "Auld
Lang Syne" and God Save the
King" outside Buckingham palace,
where King George lay i'll.
New hope was felt everywhere,
with authoritative assurance from
the palace that King Georges long
infection practically had been cured.
London, alive with New Years
celebrations, crystallized amazingly
in one thought-King George.
Crowds Shout Hope
Crowds before st. Pauls cathedral,
guests in hotels, throngs in night
clubs, merrymakerS everywhere
paused as the bell of London's fam
Gus old clock tower rang in the New
Year.
God Save the King" rang out
almost in unison throughout the
city.
Last nights bulletin showed little
progress had been made during the
day, but court physicians we're hope
full that the king would continue to
overcome the slight relapse which
he suffered nearly a week ago.
The bulletin said the king had a
good day" and it indicated that
the local infection was diminishing
Unless some new development
should set in along infective lines,
it seemed that the kings progress
now would depend entirely upon his
recuperative ability.
Lung Condition Checked
The five doctors who have been
attending the king have centered
their efforts upon the task of bring
ing to the fore the natural forces
of his majesty's makeup in defeat
ing the inroads made by his ILL
ness.
The lung condition-which had
caused the most serious worry TO
all-apparently was well checked,
on the word of high officials at
Buckingham Palace, and only anx-
iety as to the kings weakened con-
dition remained.
Despite the monarch's advanced
age, there was a feeling of strong
optimism of the life in the open
he consistently has led.
However, the extreme weakness
of the king must continue to be
serious factor, it was said. Every
possible medical measure is being
utilized to aid his lnajesty's consti-
tuition in the retention of the neces-
sary strength to fight off the weak
ening effects of the many weeks
Seige he has withstood.

CAPITAL HOPES
FOR ELABORATE
INAUGURATION
Committee Is Optimistic
That Hoover Will Give
His Approval.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, Jan. Herbert
Hoover's Inauguration will be the
most elaborate since 1912, if he per-
mits the people of this city to go
ahead with present plans for pa
rade. participation by the forty
eight states and military units.
Soon after his arrival here. Hoover
will be presented with the tentative
program of celebration. together
with an urgent request that he per-
nit an expansion over the quiet and
simple inaugurals insisted on by
Harding and Coolidge. The general
committee in charge, headed by
Major U. S. Grant III, also will sub
nit what it considers good reasons"
for greater demonstration than in
recent years.
Hoover already has said he would
prefer the simplest kind Of cere-
money, but the committee feels that
its arrangements may fall within
that definition, even though they
hope to Guido recent celebrations.
1t is planned to ask each state to
have representation in the parade in
the form of a float depicting its
chief industrial or commercial &C
tivity Each Governor also will be
invited and possibly those who ac-
cept may bring along a small mil
itary guard and other state officials.
Members of the state legislature
also may be included.
Though it is the present inten-
ton to restrict military display to q
maximum, units of sailors and SOL
diers stationed in the vicinity of the
national capital usually participate
in the show. The committee also is
considering an invitation TO West
Point cadets and Annapolis mid

YOUR CHILD.

BY OLIyE ROBERTs BARTON


Is one of your boys or girls

SO. That is. hope you are lucky
enough to have at least one such
child in your family.
And I hope something else--that
you aren't secretly ashamed of him
and aren't trying your level best to
make him over.
Does it worry you to death, per-
chance, that he wants to draw,
draw, and draw some more, on
tables, chairs, tablecloth, and walls?
Does he beg you to buy him easels
and bristol board and sketch books
and such "trash" when you know
very well he'll only make mess and
clutter up the place with smears and
paint tubes?
Does he take fits Of wandering off
by himself for days at a time in the
woods and bring back chunks of
rock and even funny mud" or
peculiar moss and lichen?
Perhaps he is a bit daft over boats
and when he reappearS after day
spent God-knoWs- where, you take
his head of, because you just knew
he was drowned.

South Now Leading in
 New Railroad Trackage


 MACON, Ga, Aug. 16.-The south outstripped all other sections of the country in 1928 in the matter of a new line railroad trackage, showing net gain amounting to 90 per cent of the nations total gain, A, E. Gift, president of the Central of Georgia railroad, told a gather ing at Macon.
 Gift explained that this large margin of difference in compara- tive net gains was due to the fact that gains in other sections were largely offset by abandoned track age figures. He said that more than half the first line track built last year was constructed in the south. while only l6 per cent of the total trackage abandoned in 1928 had been located south of the Ma son Dixon line.
 With more than one-third the nations trackage, southern rail- roads last year spent $2OO,OOO,00O for improvements to plants and fla cilities, Gift declared.

R. A. U. .4NVALLING--

SYNOPSIS: Roger Pell, man of mystery, is thoroughly dis liked by the men of Blackwater and bitterly hated by the par son, Marling. Veronica Sea broke's crystal blue eyes num- bered Tom Grenofen among their victims and when she be- comes entangled in the Peil enigma, Grenofen too, is deep ly concerned. An expert arch eologist, Professor Laxton, de- nounces as a fraud the alleged Roman remains found beneath the Newplace Abbey-the treas ures which attracted Pell to Blackwatcr. Laxton and Creno- fen hide in the abbey at mid night and observe a furtive dig ger in the excavations. Sud- denly they discover that some body else is watching the un- canny scene. Darkness hides him as he flees but the swish of a skirt betrays his identity -Marling, who always wears a cassock.

 Suggestions that speed planes in the future may require jockey-1ike pilots because of their small size are given little credence by fliers.

DOUGLAS CANNERY CLOSES;
 GOOD PACK TO DATE

With the close of fishing in this district on August IA, the Douglas Island Packing Company finished their canning for the present yes terday, and unless it is decided to renew operations next month for short run, it is through for the season.
 About 11,000 cases or little bet ter than for the same period last year, is the size of the pack to date. However the cannery can not expect to equal the record of last season, as it had splendid fall run then and was able to put up an additional 5000 cases in a few days of canning.

Chapter 5 FELL FLITS BACK

Although one o'clock had passed before we got back to Woodcot, L.axton was up bright and early Monday morning, and greatly pleased my mother by finding her in the garden and loving her roses. They had become excellent friends by the time I strollcd down to breakfast.
 T want to go down this morn ing and see the diggings," Laxton announced later. Don't worry about coming with me. I'd still like to be anonymous till we meet this afternoon.
 About II o'clock the idea occur red to me that I would look up Veronica. She might have some thing to say this morning. At Standpoint, however, I saw only Mrs. Seabroke, who told me Veroni- ca had returned unexpectedly last night, being tempted home by the fine weather At present she had taken the dog for a run around the point: if I was walking that way I might meet her.

 turned back on my tracks. The hint was so obvious.
 It was not Pell Perhaps Veroni- ca had not recognized me. Well, that was that
 Shortly before the appointed hour of Fotherbury's meeting I walked into the avenue where the fantas- tic scene had been played the night before. Directed by a footman, l went to the beautiful house which the sixteenth century Redslades had spread around one of the old buildings.
 At the entrance another footman met me and took me at once along yaulted corridor to the room Fotherbury used as a library. The light here was dim to eyes coming from the sunshine outside, for the only windows. small, high in the walls and almost at the roof, were filled with painted glass.
 I made out four persons in the room-Marling Dr. Eastley, Royle and Comerfield.
 Marling looked up and nodded The two boys said in low tones, How do, Grenofen?" I sat down opposite Royle. Markings face absorbed me. He was paler than usual. His black tonsure stood out almost fiercely against the pal Tor of his skin. His eyes seemed to avoid me. He sat motionless on an old black chest on the right of the fireplace, with Eastley on a chair facing him.
 In other circumstances should have enjoyed the beauty of this re- markable room-the rich shadows in the wagon roof, the gleam of the leather bindings of the books ar rayed in shelves all around the low CT half of. the walls. It was all old. quiet, mysterious: the one modern touch was supplied by wall telephone at the side of the hearth.
 But the human interest of the oc- casion put esthetics out of mind, and almost at once the interest was intensified by the entrance of Seabroke. He came in noisily enough, calling out to Marling: Whats it all about? Why ain't Se on the ground?"

 vas the first to see Roger Pell come
 nto the room. We all stared at l 7ell. I expect I was the least
 urprised of the party. As for
 i'm, his demeanor was remarkable.
 When the footman had closed the | loor behind him, he advanced to | the long table, took a chair and sat down as though he were alone in the room.
 I had a rnomentary impulse to get up and hold out my hand to him, but I caught glint of the in- tense gray eyes and saw in them a hostile light which killed my inn pulse This was a Pell had not 1 known
 I sent a furtive look at the faces of the others. Somerfield's alone showed any composure. Royle drowned; Marling seemed astonish- cd almost to the point of trem- bling The doctor simply goggled. Seabroke seemed ready to burst.
 They must all have been led by Marling to suppose, that Pell had fled from the prospect of a meet ing with Professor Laxton A queer prelude to a seance on Roman antiquitiesl
 To this tableau of seven men in the pose of petrifaction came our host, all unconscious, apparently, of any special strain. He walked in quickly and said:
 Good afternoon, gentlemen. An, my dear Pell, here you are! Has anybody seen Professor Laxton? You haven't seen him this after noon, MT Grenofen?" No" said I. No one else re- piled.
 These learned men!" MT Foth- crbury smiled as he shook his white head. Excuse me for few mo- ments. I'll go and inquire again" In perhaps five minutes MT Fotherbury came back.
 Its very strange" he said. T can't find anybody who's seen him"
 He stood, the most conspicuous figure in the place, looking from one to the other. puzzled by our silence and constraint Marling appeared to be choking with sup pressed speech. I expected him to burst into an accusation of Pell. But it was Pell himself who broke through the inhibition that had fallen upon us. He rose from his chair with spring and reached the arched doorway. He shot home two heavy old bolts with two nerve-shattering noises, and turned to face us.
 That's enough nonsensel" said he in his clear, loud voice. Lax ton will probably not be here. If he comes I will deal with him Meanwhile, there's a job of work to do.'
 Everyone seemed paralyzed with incredulous amazement and stared at Pell. I felt as though I had been hit between the eyes.
 Pell was explained! He was a lunatic and perhaps-dangerous Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co) Seven men sit spelI-bound
