Monday and Tuesday - Write
about the things you know about
is the advice of Ben Hecht, play
wright and movie scenarist, to all
aspiring young literary folk. Hecht
who won fame as the co-author of
1.-THE Front Page" and the out
standing motion picture story, "Un-
derworld," practices what he
breaches. AS a veteran newspap-
er man who covered the under
world affairs for years, he is IA
miliar with both the newspaper
field and the criminal world. His
greatest successes have been writ
ten about newspaper and under
world situations. "Roadhouse
Nights" is Hecht's original story

More School Building Considered
Organization of School Building
Commissions in several districts
and discussion of proposed build
ing prospects took up much of the
time of the State Board of Educa-
ton. The apportionment of school
funds for the coming year was ap-
proved as mapped out sometime
ago. 1t was announced that Piney
Grove and Lord Baltimore School
districts in Sussex county had vot-
ed to consolidate. 1t was also re
ported that Greenwood and Tom
hawk, in Sussex county, had de-
clined to consolidate. Sometime
ago Ellendale expressed a desire
for an auditorium in the new
school building being built there.
They were given permission to
change the plans if they would
raise $1,000 for the extra cost. It
was reported that the amount had
been raised and the addition was
ordered. 1t was announced that
interest on the school fund had
amounted to $4,000 and this be-
come an unalloted balance in the
building fund. Middletown, FELTON,
and Delmar were allowed amounts
of a total of $500 on all for chang
es in their school buildings from
that fund. r. w. Helm made his
annual report on vocational educa-
ton going into the details of what
had been done during the year.

Chapter ' WARS HORROR STRIKES

Spring brought more excitement with Americas entrance into the war. Not even the Convent could avoid the contagion of this. There were brothers and friends of broth CTS going into service. There were socks and sweaters to be knitted for the Red Cross. No longer did Dag ger find difficulty in gaining listen CTS for the dispatches she read in the newspapers or the theories of high strategy she formulated. Moth CT Seraphina twinkled at her as she orated in the hall.
 Are you to be another Joan of Arc. child?" smiled the Superior.
 A question which set Dagger off or a brand new tangent. She read every hood on the Maid of Dom- rCmy she could find. Here was a girl after her own heart. A girl who had ridden and fought and argued equally with men, counseled q King and led armies to battle.
 How serious was the change that war had wrought, however, Dagger did not fully realize until the June day she left school. when She de- scended the convent steps to dis cover her uncle at the wheel of the ranch car

 The couple appeared greatly wor- ricd and believe that something serious has happened to their son. He was happy in his home, accord ing to MT. DelSanto. and the family life was peaceful and quiet. Joseph has always been a good son, and the police have never had trouble Of any kind with him. The parents fear that the youth has been lured away or has met with foul play, and the police last night broadcast his de- scription and asked the police of all towns and cities in the state to be on the look -out for the boy.
 When Joseph left home he had $2 with him. A reward of s25 IS offered by the parents for his return by any person. Joseph worked in q barber shop on Hartford avenue

 His cold blue eyes softened as he scanned her features.
 "Yew ain't lookin' like yew should" he conceded. Maybe a week or two"

 You'd better let me have that wheel" Dagger answered sternly, and pushed him into the adjoining scat, Where's Dick?"

 But why didn't you send it to me-"
 "Only make you unhappy
 In a way, Dagger was happier tlan she had been for a year. And she had less time than ever to think of Howard. Almost, she was reConcled when the crash came. She had been twenty miles across the range to check up on an out lying herd. and rode in to Casa Blanca in the purple dusk, quite jcyfully tired, looking forward to a bath, a chat with Dick and early bed. Dick, himself, came from the house as she dismounted; and she hooked an arm in his, pleased that he should have paid her this little attention
 What a day, Diclly" she sighed, never glancing at him; but it is grand to be bone-tired Ooooh, I couldn't worry, if I had to-"
 That's good, dear" he answered, and something in the restrained note of his voice sent her eyes flit- ting up to his.
 There was a shadow in them that chilled her heart. One hand flew to her breast as she tried to speak.

 To save himself he couldn't say more. It was she who quavered;

,NATIONALISTS COMPLAIN
 ABOUT PRISON PROCEDURE
Claim English Release Convicts to Make Room in Jails for
 Political Offenders.

Bombay, Sept. r P-More than 25,O00 nationalists are in jail says an announcement of the working committee of the all India congress party, Bengal heading the list with more than G,000
 Most convictions have been in connection with violation of meas ules adopted by the government to overcome the civil disobedience campaign inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in his struggle to free India from British rule.
 The nationalists contend that in many instances, in various parts of the country, ordinary convicts have been released to make room for political offenders. Government off cials deny this.
