she sat down and began to undress

echoing loudly in her unbelieving
brain.
Bell had said: "Sloan thinks

black dancing pumps. Bell had told
her it was pretty brief, and the cast

Director Hurley was waiting with
Bell when she emerged from the

in his eyes as they rested on her
slender, cu1ving figure.
But his manner told her that he
did not expect her to be conscious

Both Alabama and Arkansaw hold

Warrants Charging Treason
Asked for Women Who

rants charging treason against the
United States were sought today
for two women leaders Of a CON-
munist camp of 100 children, who
are accused Of refusing to accept
the American flag.
Saturday night the fiery cross OF
the Khan blazed at the entrance OF
the camp, while its juvenile men,
bers gathered around, jeering and
singing communist songs.
When patriotic society members
Friday presented an American flag
to the camp, situated at Vanetten
near here. Mabel Husa and Aliene
Holmef of New York city, camp
directors, declined to take it.
The following night several men
said to have been led by U. E. Den
mis- and Floyd Rooms of Athens, Pa,
again offered the colors.
When they were rejected they
ripped down the red flag on the
front camp building.
Then the party, said to be COM
posed of American Legion members,
forced the women into motor car
and drove them here to the Office
of Justice William WeStbrook, who
questioned the women and the boys,
but would not issue warrants. He
sent them back to the camp under
guard of state police.
simultaneously, Paul M. Winter,
field representative of the Ku-Klux
Klan, who speaks regularly over
radio station WHAP, was de-
nouncing the Communist camp be-
fore 300 white-robed kiansnen near
the encampment site.
At the end of the speech the
klansmen, joined by $50 asserted
members of the American Legion,
set up burning cross before the
camp.

He felt, he said, not noticing the
quick look of inquiry that Anne
darted at him, that the motion
picture companies owed great debt
to the extras of Hollywood.

said, looking up at him, and Bell,

said, pointing the way. "Mr. Hur-

ADMIRALS SEE
LITTLE CHANCE
FOR SEA CODE
British, U. S. Officers Point
Out Hard Task of
Enforcement.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIATMS
seripps-Howard FOREIGN Editor

WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass, Aug. II
Until the United States joins the
League # Nations or the world be-
comes far better organized Dor peace
than it is today. neither the free
dom Of the seas nor disarmament
will get very far.
Such, in effect. was the double
barreled warning aimed at the in
stitute Of politics here by two Of the
worlds leading sea-dogs, one ar
English and the other an American
admiral. Admiral Sir Herbert Rich
mond Of the British feet was one Of
the speakers, the other being Ad-
nliral Arthur j. Hepburn Of the
United states navy.
No Trust in Code
Sir Herbert made it perfectly
plain that Great Britain did not in
tend TO trust her interests to any
code of sea laws-such, for example
as Senator Borah declares should
be set up as a basis for the free
dom Of the seas. He does not hold
with those who would substitute new
laws for the present system Of force
upon the ocean in an attempt to
make neutral ships, not carrying
contraband, as safe in war as In
time of peace.
In the first place, Admiral Rich
mond asserted, wars can be made
more humane by being shortened
through a proper control of TIE
seas, by navies, whereas freedom OF
the seas, as some conceive 1t, only
would prolong the misery through
food and materials dribbling in.
No Observance Guarantee
In the second place, he declared,
there was no one to guarantee that
the laws governing the freedom OF
the seas would be observed, even
If the powers could agree upon such
a code.
Treaties, he observed somewhat
cynically. are not always observed.
Recently, history is full of in
stances where the most solemn inter-
national obligations were broken. He
seemed to feel that observance of
treaties is exceptional, rather than
the rule, when the national life,
or even the very great interest, Of a
nation is at stake.
Sir Herbert pointed to what hap
pened at London, this year. Every
nation there only recently signed
the Kellogg pact outlawing war, yet
each one Of them announced the
tonnages 1t would need for its ma
tional security as If no such thing
as the Kellogg pact had ever existed.
Denies Cynical Attitude
Admiral Richmond similingly
hoped he would not appear too
cynical, but in all candor he did
want to know who was going to see
to 1t that any agreement regarding
the freedom Of the seas was OBJ
served.
Patiently only some world organi-
zation could take on the job of po-
Icing the seas-though Sir Herbert,
with a twinkle in his British blue
eyes, left the questioned unan-
Swered. Obviously, if Britain or
America, or both or any combina-
ton Of powers were to undertake the
job of enforcing the code govern
ing the freedom of the seas, such
power or powers might, in a crisis
actually control the seas to their
own benefit. quite as they would do
now, under the present system.

CHAPTER TWELVE

TINE casting director at GldIlu
i United had telephoned Anne
Winter that he wanted to see her.
The call had come during day
when Anne was doing extra work
in a picture at First National, and
it was Eva Harley who gave her
the message that evening.
Anne said, Really, Eva?" in such
a tone of unbelief that the older
girl laughed and put an arm around
her. "You know I wouldn't tool
you, darling" she said.
You'd better lie down and rest,
Anne" Eva added, seeing the
others face suddenly turn pale
and sensing that she might be at
taching unwarranted significance
to a telephone call that might prove
to be little more than routine. Eva
could have told her not to let her
hopes run too high.
Anne said, "I wonder what he
wants?" and stretched or a little
YEARLY on sofa. DO you Know
Eva? Where's Mona?"
Maybe he has a bit for you,
Eva answered. Maybe its some
thing better, even; but I wouldn't
count on it. Mona's working some
place in Poverty Row." she added,
referring to group of small indie
pendent studios. Some one over
there is making a quickie; they'll
probably work her half the night"
Anne confessed to Rorimer some
time later that she had lain awake
half the night, trying not to build
air-castles and desperately seeking
sleep, with her pulse pounding
madly and not-to-be-stilled voice
ringing in her fevered brain.
The casting director wanted to ask
her some questions, Anne learned,
and he said there was possibility
of something interesting" for her.
He was a dapper, alert-looking
young man, in his early or middle
thirties, Anne judged and when she
had answered a number of questions
concerning her history he smiled
and tapped on his glass-topped desk
and asked her if she could dance.
Anne hesitated. you mean stage
dancing?"
He nodded. "Tap-dancing."

smile, and without a trace of con-
ceit; and he told her it was a little
refreshing to find some one who &C

her talent.
