 To Visit Middle West
 Late this month, probably about August 25, the committee will visit the middle west again for further hearings in Nebraska and Illinois. New details about the brief candi- dacy of a Broken Bow.

 Additional states now being in vestigated, but for which no hear ings have been called, are Tennes- see, Oklahoma and New Jersey. The committee is likely to go into Okla homa and New Jersey before Ten essee, inasmuch as the primaries all ready have been held in the former states. The committees policy, wherever possible, is to keep out of states until after the primaries.

FAMILY SKELETON
 DANCES FOR SHAW
Relates Religious Experiences in Preface to Collected Works

London, Aug. 4 (UP) - Bernard Shaw has nothing in common with the rest of mankind and is merely a sojourner in this world, he wrote in a typically Shavian preface to a pri- vate edition of his collected works, for publication here Saturday
 All my life have been a sojourn- CT on this planet rather than a na- tive of it." he said in the lengthy document written in the vein of the prefaces to his plays, but with a far more personal touch. Whether it be that I was born mad or a little too soon. my kingdom was not of this world
 T was outside society, outside pol itics, outside the church. If the term had been invented then. I should have been called the complete out sider."
 The preface contains an amusing picture of the Shaw family's home life during the Irish satirists boy hood, and a few comments on his early religious experiences. Explain ing his insertion of the family sketch, Shaw wrote:
 If you cannot get rid of the fam fly skeleton, you may still make il dance"

 A quiet evening in the Shaw home was spent with music.

Berlioz described it as a chromatic bullock but uncle could make it moo and below very melodiously.
 Aunt Emily played the violin cello, and Aunt Shah (Charlotte) having beautiful hands and refine. ment of personal character to match them, used the harp and tam bourine to display themF'
 Shaw confessed that once wher he was a boy in Ireland he repeated the lords prayer during thunder storm to steady himself, and also allowed his nurse to sprinkle him with holy water occasionally. Those however, were about the extent ot his religious experiences, and he ad. ded
 Even when I was a good boy, was only so, theatrically because as actors say, I saw myself in that character. And this occurred very seldom, my taste running so strong ly on stage villains and stage de. mons that I must actually have be. witChed myself"

 Steyne looked at him with obviols frigidity.
 T trust you forgave Miss Morley for her rudeness, MT. Gideon he said. Perhaps you did not know at the time that she was not re- sponsible for what she said.' "Of course, I thought nothing of it." raplied the rich man, chuckling. T was vastly amused. It's only too true I know I'm no Apollo. l ad- mired Miss Morley immensely. and was fascin3ted by her romantic story You must allow me to say how glad I am that it is to have a happy ending
 Thank you very much replied the young man, with an inward groan,
 Just then Judy ran down to gay that Clara was overcome with joy and would be down directly, The chauffeur opened the door of Cid cons car. Judy gave Alan a smile and disappeared into the luxurious interior. For a moment he saw her bright hair and vivid lips against dark cushions. Gideon followed her. with a slightly effusive fare well.
 As Alan stood and watched the car slide away, q deadly hatred O. Bruce Gideon and a conviction of the mans evil purpose were born ill his heart,
 1 In the vestibule of the opera 1 house, after the performance. | Steyne saw Judy again She looked l half wild with excitement; her eyes l had the amethyst sparkle in them that meant extreme elation. Alan | had seen her lock like that before, when she had sat in a box at the musicale with him, and they had seemed to be the only people in the world
 l He knew that she would not be . FSpOLlSl!Jlt- IDi NIdl cIit IlQ III l that mood, The wonderful dancing had gone 10 her head She was iv- lrg. for the tirle. in another worl1. He registered q VOW that she shouli l not leave the opera house alone with Bruc: Gideon. | In the crowd he became separated little from Chummy and Clara Jonks. He looked back and told Clarissa by a series of signs, that he saw Judy and was going to fetch her, 90 that they might all go to the Cafe Turc together. Chummy nodded assent.
 When he did find Judy, she was alone. She seemed to be waiting. Most of the crowd had passed on. "Colae along, will you. to the c.te?' he asked her. He did not knox how harsh and dictatorial his voice was. The look of her filled hin. with despair Clara and Chummy are al the door"
 "Oh, tlanI, you" she said, but am waiting for Mir. Gideon
 "Whero is he?'
 ~Talling to his sister Madame de Toros"
 Why are you not talking to her, too""
 'I don't know her. Steyne's look burned into her brain. Her pride became q sort Of fyry
 And I won't come to the cafe, thanks"
 "Yes, you will" said Alan. "Clarissa wants you to come along"
 Another time, then, thanks" Judys voice was contemptuous. I am waiting for MT. Gideon"
 Judy, you'll come with us, p,ease," He looked around and saw the rIcl. mans bulky form coming toward them. Gideon was smiling The gross lines of his face and the pin points Of his cruel little ey s made the young man feel sick "YouW come with us Judy 1.e said again in a hoarse whisper. and his mouth set itself into a line ot infleMble determination.

Judy laughed and the pansy eyes took on . steely glitter. "Wc are solemn" she exclaimed.

 T know what you mean. You do not appro;e of my dancing. 1oI are going to lecture me"

 T have, Dumont. I saw him once. and l thoroughly agree with you. We must try to influence Judy What did she say when you spoke to her."
 steyne understood although Judy had never treated him exactly like that
 "Oh, she was all prickles She accused me Of spying on her, Then she said that 1t was purely a busi- ness arrangement, that she was taking up dancing, and that he was advising her
 After that they talked of other things. and drank and smoked; but there was q feeling of uneasiness in the air that no friendhness coutl d:ssipate,
 I'm afraid I've worried VOL, steyne." Dumont said rather avli- vardly. when he rose to go. After all, what can you do?'
 Alan smiled rather absently.
 Anyhow, perhaps it was a relief 10 have lt out" he said. But you're quite right, Dumont - something must be done" They shook hands cordially.
 After Dumont had gone, Steyne sat on far into the night, alter nately frozen with fear and boiling with indignation,
 What could one do but set onn's teeth and live on helplessly, like an animal waiting for the butcher knife? Judy was her own mistress. One could not talk to her as 10 a child, or as to an ordinary girl. She knew the world -hate.ul phrase, She earned her own living. She was free to choose her o"n . companions.
 l But reasoning never subdued rag ing b'ooi Alan loved her that vas the only thing that counte l He loved her: he loved her as q man loves only one woman in tle world.

He asked her how she was getting on. and she said. Very we'll" She asked him what he vas painting, and he told her he had again come 10 the conclusion that he. couldn't paint at all He was thinking Of giv- ing il up and going in for farming.
 Judy said she was looking for ~.ard to the fancy-dress ball at the Lemon Grove. 10 days from that very day T. was 10 be a real artists and models ball, like the famous Julian's ball in Paris. What was ne going to wear?
 He didn't know. What was she going 10 l-ear2
 Oh, she wasn't sure, but Coluu- btne was the cheapest. she though. She had quite decided that Chummy ought . go as Diana. That WAS what everybody who knew her lilened her 70. Chummy thought tho costume too scanty. but July V as trying 10 persuade her.
 She saw Alan frown slightly, and shc rejoiced bitterly, thinking sha had shocked him. The more she could shock him the better for everybody

 Before he could demur she was gone
 Gideon turned 10 Alan with q smile and offered him q cigar which the young man declined on the plea that he was going over tc the rheater as soon as Miss JenNs came down.

to give Judy pleasure.
 Neither of the girls wanted 70 eat, Steyne was hungry. having been for a tramp in the country after several days of unsuccessful effort at the art school. His appo- tite was almost the only topic of conversation. Judy joked about It. and Chummy gently encouraged him to eat. Over the coffee they grew more gay, and Judy forgot the time. She started up at a quarter . to eight.
 My, I shall be late! I must get back"
 Steyne rose, too and bent and whispered something to Chummy.
 Yes. that's a splendid idea she exclaimed. Why didn't We think of it before? I'll stay here for a minute or two, Alan, and then I'll walk over to the theater. It's only a few steps. It's not worth while my coming all the way back. '
 Steyne assented and paid the bill Then he followed Judy out of the restaurant

 In the cab they hardly spoke Judy felt a little frozen by AlaN's attitude. His voice was the essence Of polite friendliness. She con. cluded th9t she had offended hia beyond pardon the other day. In' deed, she had been very rude anG flippant; but then, he shouldn't have interfered with her. +~.
