Judge said elimination of crime
depended on education rather
than prosecution. Well. then,
could anything be more educating
than the c-ountains and trees and

Perhaps because she wished to
believe this, Mary told herself
1t was reasonable and followed
that with small, wordless
prayer for Danny Mullins. Why
he persisted in her thought she
did not know but at that moment
she desired with all her heart
his presence here. She wished
she might walk under the bright
branches with him, rustling
leaves beneath their feet. and
tell him what she held to be
true. She had an odd fancy that
he would listen to her.
The wish remained as they rolled
up the driveway at Ring Acres and
throughout the time she was max
ing herself at home in a great,
dim room on the northeast corner
of the villa. Not a country house,
she told herself. but something
more like a feudal castle put down
in park so vast that only one
other mansion was visible from
the windows. The grounds rolled
to d small lake and the rim of
this was dotted with boat and
bath houses belonging to the half
dozen other estates surrounding 1t.

mo NEED TO ALTER
ARMS RULES, HOOVER

WASHINGTON, March 5.-(P)-
President Hoover sees no reason to
disturb the policy under which
shipments of arms and munitions
from the United States for the
Mexican government have been
permitted under license during the
last five years.
1t was explained at the White
House today that licenses for arms
expectation to the government of
f1exico had been granted at inter-
walls since a general embargo on
shipments of this character was i'm
posed in 1924. While no other conf
ment in connection with the Mexi-
can revolution situation was avail
able at the White House it was
said that President Hoover at this
time sees no reason to change the
policy as to arms expectation fol-
lowed by his predecessor, CalV.l
Coolidge.
Licenses for arms shipments are
granted by the secretary of state.
