OF TWO PROBLEMS WILL ELIMINATE PRESENT
 WEAKNESS OF LAW

NEW YORK, April g, (P- President Hoover in an earnest appeal to fellow citizens to ob- serve the law, declared life and property in the United States is Relatively more unsafe than in any other civilized country in the world" in an address before the annual luncheon of the Associated Press.
 The Chief Executive said he was wondering whether the time was not at hand to Realize that we are confronted with a national necessity of the first degree; we are not suffering from an ephem- eral crime wave but one from the of our V cry founda- tionS.
 Tn order to dispel certain il- luSionS from the public mind on this subject let me say at once that while violations of the law have increased by the inclusion of crimes under the 18th amendment, and by the vast sums poured into the hands of the criminal classes by patronage in illicit liquor by otherwise responsible citizens, yet this is but one segment of our problem"
 He explained that only a small percentage of murder, burglary, robbery, forgery and embezzlement could be attributed to prohibition and asserted of the total number of convictions for felony last year less than eight percent came from the source of the dry law.
 He said the two immediate pro- 5lems before the government was to investigate the existing system of enforcement agencies and to the system in such a as to eliminate the weak ness.

ARMY MAN CAUSES DEATH IF SIX IN
 AIRPLANE CRASH
REPORTED THAT PILOT SAW CHANCE GIVE PASSENGERS
 A THRILL

SAN DIEGO, Calif., April g, (H) Six persons met death in a large passenger plane of the Mad dox Air Line when pursuit plane with an army insignia, crashed in midair over the eastern part of the city.
 Both planes were badly crippled by the impact which was heard over a large part of the city, and crashed to the ground on the side of a canyon killing all the occu- pants.
 The dead are Lieutenant How ard Keefer, pilot of the pursuit plane; Maurice Murphy, pilot of the Maddux plane; Louis Pratt, relief pilot; Arturo Guajardo Amelia Guarjardo, Cecelia Kelly, passengers.
 Keefer attempted to leap to safety but his parachute became entangled on a wing of the plane and he was carried down with it. Army observers said the army plane was seen to be following the liner some distance to the left of the local airport enroute to Phoenix, Arizona The army plane was much speedier and ap- parantly maneuvered about with ease.
 Suddenly, the pursuit plane, above the air liner, dropped down with great force n q 3 part of the liner fell to the ground some distance away from the rest of the wreck. The in vestigation showed that part ot the army plane had hooked one of the outboard motors of the passenger.
 It is said that Pilot Keefer had made one successful maneuver over the ship and was trying another when he crashed.
 Murphy leaves a widow, Lucille Lee Stewart, a sister of Anita Stewart, the film star.
 ! Allison Moore, president of the San Diego board of air con trol, made a report that the "Stunting of Keefer was in open violation of traffic rules; that Keefer evidently saw a chance to give the liners passengers a thrill but had no business near the big plane. It was just case of mis- judging distance and hitting the plane"

But Ashes of Desire isn't for them.
It is for the very feW-the lew who

But you must accede to popular
demand" he argued.
"Oh, no." she said. "Not any
more. 1 never intended Ashes of
Desire to be popular novel"
"You might jazz it up a little" he
offered hopefully. Give it happy
ending"
I'm sorry" she told him pa
tiently, that I can not make you
understand. I'm being absolutely
sincere, Mr.. Hall. I don't want TO
do popular stuff. I'm tired of manu-
featuring for the trade. I've had
enough of catering to the market.
I've put my heart and soul into
something real. And don't care
whether anyone likes it or not. /

well. III see what I can dc" he
promised.
CHE wanted to tell him not to
- bother. That she did not care
if he never found her a publisher.
That the only thing that mattereo
was that the book was written, and
the truth told. But she knew he
would think she was telling lies, II
she should talk to him like that.
Because it is doubtful if anybody
ever wrote anything with the idea
that nobody would read it.
She hung up the receiver slowly,
wondering why she had written the
book. if it we're true that she did
nto care whether it was published.
The half remembered lines of fur
tive poem ran tantalizingly through
her mind. She thought that if she
could recollect them. they would ex-
plain why she had felt the necessity
of writing something which no one
might read.
Hours later the lines came to her.
They were from Kipling's "L'En-
vol"
and no one shall work for money.
and no one shall work for fame
But each for the JOY Of working,
and each. in his separate star.
Shall draw the Thing as he sees 1t,
for the God of Things as They
AreI"
Yes. That was 1t. "And only
the Master shall praise us, and only
the Master shall blame" 1t was
not with covetousness for the praise
of critics that Molly had written
Nor in fear of the censure of little
minds. She had written the Thing
as she saw 1t, for the God of Things
as they Are.
1t was with less difficulty than he
anticipated that Mr.. Hall found q
publisher. And the publisher, with
enthusiasm of romanticism, con-
ceiyed the notion of bringing out
ashes of Desire" after the style OF
a sentimental eighteenth century
novel.
When Molly's book made it's ap-
pearance it was demurely bound ir

the title page, and at the BEGINNING
of each chapter, was a gold vignetf
