ing, and had made a study of it.. He had made it one of his hobbies, and in an amateur way was quite an expert at various sleight-o;- hand devices in connection with cards.
 Teddy had never won penny by unfair means, but when he saw his opponents cheating and doin, ii rather clumsily, he said nothing. but began cheating himself.
 He continued to win their money quicker than before. Their cheer fitness vanished. Their faces were a study and Teddy's pile of win nings grew rapidly from 100 pounds to 200 and more. When it had reached o50, and the luck was still on Teddy's side, one Of the men stood up with a snarl, flung his cards on the table, shook a. clenched fist within an inch of Teddy's nose and shouted:
 T accuse this man of cheating: he's low-down common card sharp. He's been cheating from the start, I believe"
 Teddy smiled at him pleasantly and patiently. You are quitc wrong," he explained. "I did not begin to cheat until after you did. But when you started I started, and as I am a better cheat than you. l am the winner, naturally"
 They stared at him blankly. Gum" gasped one of the men, with a rather sickly sort of smile. So you are one of us?" Teddy re-lighted his cigar. "I confess I fail to understand you | he remarked.
 You are card sharp, same as we are?"
 Not at al," replied Teddy. You misunderstood me entirely. l learned this sort of thing for a l hobby, to amuse myself with i'i my spare moments-I only cheated you to save myself from being cheated by you. I have never won a penny dishonesty from honest players"
 The other man shrugged his shoulders. Tt amounts to the same thing" he said, with an at tempt at bluffness. You admit you have been card d-sharper for the time being, so you are no bette, than we are. The laugh. is on us all right, and you're not a bad sort. There's only one thing to be done. You hand back the spells; we all shake hands, and the incl dent is closed"
 No so," replied Teddy. T don't agree with you. The incident J. already closed. You took the same risks as I did. I shall therefor retain it for my personal use ans profit. l have the homer to thank you for very pleasant and amus- ing evening"
 With a quick movement Teddy crumpled the pile of notes and rammed them into his pocket Then he stood up and backei towards the door.
 There was short tense silence One of the men was breathing ir a curious hissing way. It soundet like an escape of gas. Teddy Mon. trose was still smiling, and the stump of his cigar had not gone out. But the three card -sharpers were desperate. It would never dc for him 10 get away with all that money. A headlong rush woul1 certainly have come but for re- markable interruption. 1 Somewhere outside the flat the .'l arose a sudden terrific hubbub an1 commotion.

FLOW to be captivating?" Bebe Daniels l ] smiled a deprecating little smile as she considered my question. But when she began to speak her appealingly beautiful brown eyes were thoughtful.
 And then learned this lovely actress feels emphatically there's one thing has more to do with girls attractiveness than any other charm-a beautiful skin-clear, soft, smooth.
 How alluring in any girl! How sure to win admiration! And to the screen star, Bebe Daniels earnestly explained, a skin of breath taking loveliness is really essential!
 "Only the girl with smooth skin," she said, ''need not fear the relentless eye of the cam era. For even the cleverest makeup will not suffice under the searching lens of the closeup. "Thatiswhy," shewent on seriously, many girls lacking great beauty but possessing lovely skin have passed on the road to fame the woman with perfect features.
 LUX Toilet Soap is wonderful for keeping the skin smooth and lovely.'

Probably including everything but the purchasing department. the Bureau of Education offices now in Seattle, will be permanently moved to Juneau about March l. This word was brought back by Gov. George A. Parks.
 Reports to this effect were re- ceiyed in Juneau last week, but confirmation by Gov. Parks was de- sired before the announcement was made public.
 What sections of the office will be moved here is not known. but it is believed the purchasing office will remain in Seattle in order to have it closer to the buying field.
 A number of rooms have been reserved in the Malony Building to house the offices of the Bureau un- til the completion of the Alaska Capitol building, when the force will be transferred there.
 This movement has been con- templated for some time past. Ac- eording to Charles Hawkesworth, Bureau head of this district, a force of about six will be affected by the

bright balloons circled about the draw

something approximating German cam

ROAD DEPARTMENT.
SALARIES INCREASE

the additional personnel was en-
ployed in the engineering depart
ment of the construction division to
inspect construction. Most of the
salaries were around $125 a month
and some were as low as $40.
But the August record shows that
each of the ninety-two men should
have received approximately $195
per month under the 1929 COM
parative costs. The difference, how
ever. went to salary increases for
which Brown and William j. Titus,
chief engineer of the department,
obtained only partial approval from
the state budget committee.
These salary boosts contributed in
part to the increased overhead and
aided in causing the department to
exceed its budget and borrow
S1,600,000 from the cities, counties
and towns gasoline tax fund. This
is to be repaid in March with in
terest at 2 per cent.
August salary vouchers totaled
$76,851.22 this year as compared
with SCI, 1882 last year, the audi
tors record shows.
Using this peak month as twelve
month basis Of comparison for both
years, this would mean salary in
creases of $212,667.6O.

Brazil ARMIES
ARE CLOSE TO
BLOODY CLASH
Rebel and Federal Forces,
Each 100000 Strong,
Ready for Battle.
COFFEE AT NEW LOWS
Price Crash Is Charged to
inefficient Handling by
Government.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMNIS
ScripDs- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. The
bloodiest struggle since our Civil
war of the sixties seems inevitable
today as two armies, each at least
100000 strong, march toward a
head-on collision in Brazil.
The cause, as was the case in
Argentina, Bolivia and Peru, is part
ly political, partly economic.
Coffee-of the worlds supply of
which Brazil furnishes approximate
ly rs per CENTS selling at a record
low, largely due, it is charged, to the
governments inefficient handling of
the crop.
Furthermore, 1t is alleged the
present regime has contrived, by
fraud, to keep itself in Office.
A number of presidential candi-
dates last year withdrew in favor of
Getulio Vargas, governor of the
state of Rio Grande, resulting, it is
claimed, in his election.
The present head of the republic,
however, President Washington Luis
Pereira De Sousa, chose as his sue
cessor Julio Prestes, governor of the
state of Sac Paulo, and when the
smoke of battle cleared after the
elections, Julio Prestes was pro-
claimed preSident-elect.
Now the states which had backed
Vargas have risen in rebellion and
Vargas, giving up his governorship
is to take command of the revolu-
tionaries, is said to have won over a
majority of the states to his side.
The capital, Mo De Janeiro, and
the worlds most famous coffee CEN
ter, Sac Paulo, are the rebels OBJ
jective.
Larger than the United States by
some 100000 square miles, Brazil has
a population of 100000, or more
than this country had in 1875, ten
years after the Civil war.

in the south, central and northern
sections of Brazil today, bringing
naval, army and air forces into &C

The chief insurgent strength still
was centered in the south, where
federal cruisers were sent to bonn

Government sources did not con-

the northern state of Pernambuco,
but shortly before noon it generally
was understood the state had been

PeeWee Golfer Driven
Suddenly Mad; Tears
UP Courses.

T OS ANGELES, Oct. 8.-This is
~ the story of what miniature
golf Gid to Gerard C. Dyt of
Hynes.
Dyt played on a peewee course
at Downey.
He missed a putt. 1t made him
angry. He growled aloud.
He missed another putt. 1t was
too much. He ran amuck.
Il quit" he shouted, throwing
the ball as far as he could over a
fence, "and so does everybody
else; this games no good!"
Using his putter as a weapon
he chased all the other players off
the course.
Then he started looking for an
other course to conquer.
He had to go to Bellflower, an
other town, to find it.
After he had driven away all
the players there, a squad of
deputy sheriffs arrived. 1t took
them twenty minutes to overcome
Dyt.
Dyt was in jail today, under
fifteen-day sentence for disturb
ing the peace.
He is being observed for signs
of insanity.
