Synopsis: Anne Wilmot's beauty and charm wins the homage of thr men in her New York set but when she meets a bronzed, young giant on a Sierra mountainside, his dis dainful, almost mocking glance arouses mixed emotions of piquc and rebellion in Anuc's heart.
 Her visit at Leon Morse's palatiaI mountain lodge is for Anne merely the last step in a program that had been planned for her by an aristo- cratic, although impoverished, fam fly. All her life Anne had been trained and exploited for but on" purpose - to mak" a wealthy mar riage and rccoup the fortunes Of the Wilmots.
 Before her chance meeting with the young stranger, Anne haI been resigned 10 marrying Morse. who was the choice of her aunt. Morse, wealthy railroad magnatc. is as do- termincd us the aunt to make Anne his wife.
 Morse came to the SicrraS. hastily transformed a rustic lodge into d veritable palace and then invited Anne and her aunt to be his suests there while he personally suporrises a project which is the dream of his career a railroad through his mountains at 6 point where all other builders had failed.

RUTH ID RECEIVE RECORD CONTRACT
Home Run King Will Be Given
 S15O,OOO 6 Season

New York, Jan. UrD-Majo" 1 league clubs will mail out the l93n ! contracts some time this month and one Of them is expected to stipulate the largest baseball salary of all time.
 Quite naturally the contract will go to Babe Ruth. somewhere III Florida. and the figures are quite likely to read: $150,000 for the sea sons of 19&0 and 1881.
 Col. Jacob Ruppert and the Bab" are understood to have agreed on this figure some time ago when everyone else was concerned over ! Miller Higgins successor as man ager of the New ' ork Yankees. 1 After Ruth's contract was settled, the less important business of pick 1 ing the Tanks leader was gone into and ended with Bob ShuWkey get ] ting the assignment ShaWkey's salary is understood to be some i where in the ncighborhood Of $2o,- ! 0OU
 After Ruth receives his contract he will bring it to the Yankees of flee and the formality ot signing !t for the benefit of the camrramcn and newspaper photographers will take place.
 Balk at Nancc's salary
 If Babe Euth bascballs highest paid star, was easy to agree 10 terms, Da2zy Vance of Brooklyn 10Th r who arc numbered among the ten highest salaried players, probably will be two of the hardest to sign. 7
 Vance drew $25.000 last season and will demand that salary again. Two members of the Brooklyn board of directors are in favor of trading Vance before they pay him the same salary again this season.
 If Vance is sold or traded. he probably will land with either the Chicago Cubs Or Cincinnati Reds.
 Grimes Wants Raise
 Grimes is understood to have asked the Pittsburgh club for q $2e,0oo salary next season and Bar they Dreytuss is said 10 be opposed 10 meeting the rlSht-handcd acc demands.
 Grimes is said to have been offer ed to the St Louis Cardinals in eX- } change for Jim Bottomley. but the deal was turned down by President sam Breadon of the Cards Another pitcher who IS demand. ing big salary is Wesley Terrell. f who won . 1 games for Cleveland in l his first year in the big leagues last 5 season. Terrell wants $l2.50o. while , the Indians have offered him $7,50o The origin of the word "Nanllcc"
 is said to have resulted from the first attempts of the Indians of tn, ! United States to pronounce the ? word "Fnglsh.'

 Morse had not regained control Of himself when he stepped into the tonneau of the automobile and took his place at the side of Anne Wilmot.
 In the machine, Douglas looked inquiringly at his employer. Morse shook his head and frowned with q significant glance at Anne, who was tco absorbed for the moment in the scenery.

 Morse controlled himself with visible effort. "Come now" he said in an unconsciously patronizing tone. which he had not previously allowed himself to use, don't be d fool.

 The atmosphere of an impending struggle between Morse and Glenn hangs over the lodge but Anne is more interested in enjoying the TO- mantle splcndor of the peaks and hllsides
 The fascination of the gigantic construction work grips Anne one day, however. and through binocu- lars she watches the laborers sus- pended like tiny dots on the scaf- folding of the dam. Her gaze rests particularly on one man, who is di- recting the worll-thc engineer. Glenn - the young stranger whose scornful observation of the society debutante in the hills had so lnfu- riated her. Instantly Anne is ob- scssed with the determination 10 know moro of the man.
 Morse reaches decision to force Glenn to accede to his demands. H." visits the engineers field office, tries 10 bribc him. Failing, he boldly announces the irrigation dam shall not be built, that the entire force of his wealth and influence will be thrown against it.

cratic candidates for President and ViceP President and write the partys national platform. It is alsc claimed that 72 more delegates are likely to be SC
 instructed before convention time. This would give it majority of 25 votes in the convention.
 Owing to the two-thirds rule which controls the nominations in the Democratic convention, this majority would not be sufficient to name an out and out Wet candidate, but it would prevent any pronounced Dry move either in the selection of standard bearers in drafting a platform. As the situation now exists the Vets seem sure of hay ing the delegates from Alaska New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania Delaware Massachusetts Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut Ohio, Illinois, Maryland, Wisconsin, Nevada Louisiana and Michi- gan. The four delegations listed doubtful and which the Vets hopeful of carrying are: California Minnesota Washington, and Montana, with total of 72 votes
 In the eighteen months which must elapse before the party gatherings held the trend of public sentiment, already tremendous against Prohibition, may make sufficient headway to put both parties on the Wet side of the issue but at present it seems that the Vets hope to be successful only in the Democratic convention. The Republican attitude will depend largely upon the report on Prohibition of the Wckersham Crime Commission. Reliable reports have it that the Commission will neither repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment nor modification of the Volstead Act. If it stands by President Hoover for another term in office the Drys have the best chance in that pary's national convention.

MT. HOOver's Bad Luck.
London Saturday Review)

One could find it in ones heart to be sorry for MT. Hoover. His predecessor seems to us on this side to have had all the luck and MT. Hoover all the blows It not his fault that the pros perity bubble burst year ago but the American people are in fact making him the scapegoat for the slump caused by their own excessive optimism and overspending.
 Perhaps there is lesson in it for us too. From time to time there arises in this country cry for the business man in politics. but when we get one he is not, a rule conspicuously suc- cessful The same thing seems to have occurred in the United States. MT. Hoover was saluted as the super business man and he is now condemned as the super failure Sic transit.
