TWELFTH INsTALLMENT

n A ARTIN said to his chauffeur
Nh That's the man want. And
n" think / know where he's GO
ing, but can't be sure enough
to risk it. Follow him, will
you?"
Il made him feel frightfully cheap to
give an order like that. But the heroic
alternative offered no chance at all OF
success. ANY attempt Of his to get the
trunk away from Max by force would
look to both witnesseS2-his own chauf-
feur as yell as Max's--like an unrro-
voked assault on a law-abiding citizen.
He could think of nothing better than
to tag along. make sure where the trunk
went, and try to invent some way OF
bluf1ng this pair ofconspirators out Of
their booty up in Claire'S nat, after she d
joined Max there. He had the ingre-
dents for q pretty good bluff. He was
convinced now that Max had stolen
Rhoda's $500 the day before and that
Claire knew nothing about it
Automatically, of course, he'd been
watching the other taxi. Now, as they
approached the drive, he was astonished
to see it turn south instead of north;
downtown instead Of up. That wasnt
the way to Claire's fat. Yet her instruc-
tons to Max had been explicit that he
take it there. Was Max starting some
thing on his own account?-betraying
his ally? Or had he observed that he
was being followed and was he trying
to throw off pursuit?
Keeping another car in sight in the
flood of traffic on the boulevard with its
four lanes each way and its stop lights
isn't an easy thing to do. Martin noted
with satisfaction that his chauffeur was
clever at it and decided to take the man
in, a little way in, on the game.
"I'm a reporter" he told him. sand
that chap with the trunk Is peach Of q
story if can get 1t. He isn't going
where I thought he would, though"
Probably going to one Of the depots,
isn't he. with that trunk" the chauffeur
4 believe you're right" Martin
agreed. IF he is, the story is even
better. But I've got to find out where
he's going"
Their quarry showed no signs of con-
seriousness that 1t was being followed.
It pulled into the low lane at jackson
Boulevard and turned west. 1t crossed
Dearborn street, eliminating the Polk
street station and La Sale, where it
would have turned for the New York
Central.

said Martins chauffeur.
Where will he 60 with that trunk, II
he wants to check it?" Martin asked.
"It depends on whether he's got his
ticket" the chauffeur told him. IF he
hasn't, he'll stop and get it halfway
down the ramp If he has, he'll go all
the way down the lower level"
Evidently Max hadn't his ticket, for
his taxi stopped halfway down, pulling

W0MEN'S CLUB
TO CELEBRATE
Business Women Observe
National Week; Men
To Be Guests

Representatives of the KiwaniS,
Rotary, Lions and the Realty board
as well as Mayor A. B. Cole, and the
city commissioners, and Judge 0. G.
Dancy and the county commission
ers are to be guests of the Business
and Professional Women's club Of
Brownsville at a banquet Thursday
evening.
The affair, which is to be held at
the Ell Jardin, is the high point OF
the clubs observance of National
Business and Professional Women's
club week. Like banquets are being
held throughout the country by the
$50 clubs which are members of the
national federation.
Arrangements are being made by
Misses Stella Dickson, Julia
O'Brien, and Isabel Sterling, and
Mrs. A. G. Hipp, assisted by the en-
tertainment, program, decoration
and arrangement committees, OF
which they are chairmen. An in
formal program is being prepared
for the occasion.
Business and Professional Wom-
ems club week is being observed for
the second time this year, the first
observation of it having occurred
in 1928. It's primary object is to
emphasize the growing Importance
of women in the business world, and
to call attention to the objects of
the national organization Of bust
ness and professional women.
Statistics gathered in the last CEN
suS show that there ere 8,549, 511
women employed in gainful occu-
pations in the United States, and
that of the 572 occupations listed,
these women had invaded all eX-
cept IS, or sgt. Some of the more
unusual professions for which they
have qualified include draughtsmen,
Inventors, chemists, m~etallurgiSts.
dentists, aeronautics and theatrical
producers.
For the millions of women already
in business and professions, the
national club has as it's aim the
procuring of better working condi-
lions and equality of compensation.
It's major project however, is to
improve the opportunities for girls
just entering the business world,
especially by furthering education
preparatory for business and the
professions. and insuring at least
a high school education for every
business girl.
The Valley clubs, Of which the
Brownsville organization is the old
est, have been making rapid prog
reSs since their formation, and the
spread of interest is attested by the
formation of clubs in every town.
There are now eleven clubs in the
Valley. These are united in the
Valley federation and hold quarter
~ meetings in the various towns
having member clubs.

S. P. OFFERS
PRIZE AWARD
Carrier To Give $50 For
Name Of New Train
Serving Valley

What IS a god name for a pas
senger train serving the Lower Rio
Grande Valley?
That's the question asked by John
L. Monroe, assistant traffic manager
Of the Southern Pacific Lines, who
has just announced the schedule of
a new train service between the
Lower Rio Grande Valley and Hous-
ton and San Antonio. And Monroe
makes it interesting for the n who
will answer the question.
The new passenger train, cutting
more than an hour from the present
schedule on the Southern Pacific
between the Valley and Houston
and San Antonio goes into service
Sunday. While of course serving the
territory between these two cities
and the Lower Rio Grande Valley it
is chiefly a valley train" and the
Southern Pacific is anxious to give
it some name that will link it close
ly with this section of the state.
Beginning March Is and ending
April Is, a contest will be conducted
in Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy
counties to select a name for this
NdllCy OAdnl. IilJOIlC, Q1lOCI l1lC
rules, may submit a name, but it
must represent the Valley. Further
more, it must not contain more than
three words, preferably two, omit
ting "The", if used, and must not
refer to any one particular town or
community.
At the close Of the contest the
SOuthmern Pacific will give a prize
of $50 to the one submitting the
name selected by a disinterested
committee. The company. however,
reserves the right to reject any and
all names submitted, and in case
more than n person submits the
name selected the prize will be di-
vided equally. Names should be sent
to John Monroe, assistant traffic
manager, Southern Pacific Lines,
Houston.
1.-THE new service is just another
step on the part of the Southern
Pacific to carry out its determined
policy to render the most staiSfac-
tory service possible to and from the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, and we
would like to have someone from
that part Of the country give the
train a name that will help to not
only advertise the Valley, but draw
increased attention to this section
of the state" Monroe sttaed.

PUNCH ONLY IS APT
TO SUBDUE BASQUE
Akron Man Faces Tomorrow
Fighter Who Has Yet to
Take Full Count.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, February 2f.-The
N bald head and terrific punch
VI of Meyer Wilson tx. o.
4 Christner.. aged heavyweight
from Akron, will make their
second appearance in Madison Square
Garden tomorrow night with one of the
hardest skulls in the boxing business
as the object of his wallops. That hard
head rests on the sturdy shoulders Of
Pauline UZcudun, who has exposed 1t
to the blows of most of the current crop
of heavyweights without much damage.
The exchange is scheduled to 60
through 10 rounds.
For the aged Akronite, who not so
long ago was earning a living in the
rubber pits, it is a second glorious OPP
portunity in the space of few weeks.
If he can get over the paralyzing punch
that sent Knute Hansen into the dis
card and that came close at times to
starting Jack Sharkey along the same
road, Christner will have at least a
claim to being the hardest puncher
in the heavyweight ranks. Pauline has
taken it from nearly all of them, but
he has yet to recline on the canvas
while the referee counts 10.
Christner has gained little in ex-
per1ence and more IN commence through
his battle with Sharkey. Although de-
feated, 1t proved that he can stay the
limit with one of the best of the pres
ent-day heavyweights and hand out
punishment while he is receiving it.
In the Basque Woodchopper he has
an entirely different type of opponent
and one who may give him a harder
struggle. Paulino's trick Of wading In
with his head down and protected by
both arms makes him difficult, target
for even a good boxer. And K. o. has
no claim to that distinction.
Whether Christner's wild smuggling
will be more effective than lighter and
better aimed blows have been is the
one important question to be settled.
The force Of his punches must be
Christner's principal weapon, for 1t Is
almost a certainty that Pauline can
land hard and often enough to earn the
decision If he is able to fight his own
way.
