This enabled them to visit each class if they so desired.

A project in the form of a miniature first Thanks giving feast was exhibited. The chill dren had dressed dolls to represent Pilgrims and Indians.

FEAR INDIA THREAT
British Face Embarrassing
Problem in Crisis.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Jan. 7.-Despite the
general feeling that the determine
ton of the Indian national con-
gress to establish a system of nom
cooperation and civil disobedience
to Great Britain holds no immedi-
ate threat. it is recognized that the
situation may cause considerable
embarrassment to the British gov
eminent.
III the first place, the Indian rail-
Way system. formerly manned chief
ly by the English, has become satu-
rated with natives, and in the event
of a crisis could readily be con-
trolled by them, paralyzing the
transportation of troops and police.
Such a situation would have to be
handled with velvet gloves, particu-
larly since the question of supplies
food and ammunition-for outly-
ing districts would provide a dam
gerous problem.
If the call to civil disobedience
were generally obeyed, the result
would parallel a general national
strike.

fession. It made him remember
Madalyn and how desperately she
cared for him.
She, too. had threatened suicide
and had said she'd rather die than
live without him. Except for the

he had not seen her since. The

Girls took their love affairs so
much more seriously than men.
Disappointed and hurt as he was
about Sally, it would not have

life.
But Doris had said. There's more
than enc way of committing
suicide
In his slightly stimulated, highly
emotional condition this dramatic
idea appealed to him. Other ways
just as effective which still per-
mitted the victim to live.
He left Doris at her apartment
house and hurried back to the
boulevard. 1t was only a few min

HOWELL returned home and,

and disillusion as a part of the price
he had to pay.
"Lambie," Madalvn and Sally,
each in her way, had failed him.
I he friendship with Dimples had,
from the beginning, been no more
than q shabby makeshift. He would
put all these contacts behind him
and devote himself solely to the at
tempt of making good"
a praiseworthy resolution, which
he was able to follow, with the eX-

sire to reinstate himself in her Opin-

forced idleness and despair, he con-
