"T can't come over. I'm just
going out to the picture show
with your uncle" said Aunt
EN-. But wait q minute and
I'll ask Norrie Shane II she'll
come. She's right here"
There was q silence, and then
Norrie's soft voice came over
the wire.
"T'll be glad to come and sit
with the baby II you want me
to-" it said. II haven't a thing
to do tonight"
"Norrie, you're a dear" Love
joy cried. Bring along your
overnight bag and I'll fix up
our spare room for you. I'm
afraid we aren't going to be
home very early, so you may
as well plan to spend the
night here"
Lovejoy was happier than
she had been in days when
she hung UP the receiver and
flew into the bedroom to dress.
She sang as she took her
one and only evening dress out
Of the tiny clothes closet and
hung Toms dinner coat over
the foot Of his bed.
This was something like liv-

can't get his letters here be-
cause my maid would be sure
to know where they were from
If she saw the post mark. She

She gave Lovejoy an implor-
ing look.
IF you'd let me tell him to
send his letters to your house,
addressed to YOU" she added,
you'd just be doing me the
greatest kind of a favor. And
I promise you they won't come
there very long. I'm doing my
best to end this silly business.
Lovejoy didn't know what to
say.
The telephone rang again.

''I haven't lost my looks yet,

she powdered her face and
rubbed the perfume Aline had
given her into the soft nape
Of her neck.
She felt as rare and beau

she went to let Norrie into the
house Is minutes later
Norrie with her plain drab
clothes and her brown hair
drawn into that plain flat
knob at the back Of her head.
IF you have any mending
to do give it to me-" she said
when she had settled herself
under the lamp in the little
living room.
And when Tom came out Of
his bedroom she was busily
filling up q great hole in the
toe Of his favorite pair of
socks.
He stood with his hands in
his pockets, looking down at
her. He had always liked
Norrie Shane.
"Norrie," he said. you look
mighty coZy and comfortable
sitting there. I'd a lot rather
sit at home with you tonight
than go where I'm going"
From where she sat, on q
low chair beside the wood fire,
Lovejoy saw Norrie's face red

her work.

herself with a sense Of shock.

Her eyes went over him as
he took of his coat and his
shirt. How broad his shoulders
were, and how slender his

He was standing before his
chiffonier and his blue eyes
met hers in the glass.
II was just thinking how
good looking you are" she said
to him. "No woman would
ever be unfaithful to q man

He shot a puzzled look at
her.
But Lovejoy did not see it.
She was slipping her ivory

It was year old, but it looked
as good as new. There were

voice followed Lovejoy down
the wide stairs.
That night Tom came home
with a check in his pocket. It
was check for 5000 dollars,
and it was for Lovejoy.
There's the money you

to her the minute she came
into the little house. II sold

He did not stoop to kiss her
as he always did when he
came into the house at night.
He left her standing. with
the check in her hand, and
went on his way to the sun

baby.
Hello, Buster" Lovejoy heard
him say. "How's the boy been
all day?" The door Of the
room closed after him.
Until the last two nights she
and Tom had always gone into
the room together to say good
night to the baby. It had
been the happiest moment Of
the day. The high point.
"Oh. well, II he wants to shut
me out Of things, let him." she
said to herself unhappily. I'm
not going TO care"
But she did care. And the
worst Of 1t was that she didn't
know whether he was angry

about the money that he had

Aline tlephoned the house.

Lovejoy said she'd ask her.

 In the, past Is months alone, four suicides-one-th of all those committed at all marine corps posts took place in Nicaragua, accord ing to records at headquarters here.
 Officers who have served in Mica ragua and other tropical posts spoke also of the torrential rains.
 There's nothing but heat in Nicaragua" one officer said. And when it isn't dry heat, it's wet heat you never saw such rain in your life. It pours for days and days on end. Nicaragua without doubt is the most dismal hole on earth. It's great wonder there are not more suicides

Prohibition Officials Send Dues
 tiOnnaire to 5000 Editors

Washington, Oct. 15 P}-Wheth- CT the newspapers of the country as a whole are predominately wet dry or neutral on the subject of ma tional prohibition, is to be learned by the prohibition bureau.
 Three thousand newspapers have been sent questionnaires~ prepared by the division of research and pub lie information of the bureau. Along with the forms went letter inform Ing the editors that the prohibition bureau wished to get the attitude of the press of the nation upon the subject of the 18th amendment and the administration of the dry laws.
 The findings will be made public later in the form of a monograph analyzing the replies received. This publication is planned as one of a series, for the issuance of which the bureau will draw upon a $50,O00 appropriation which congress made for conducting an educational cam paign in favor of the dry laws. Some other educational campaign plans, proposed before the transfer of the prohibition unit from the treasury to the department of justice, met with various opposition and did not get far. One of these involved pos- ters for use in schools.
 The questionnaire to the news papers specifically asks the editors to express themselves on whether they favor the 18th amendment and the national prohibition law, wheth- CT they are opposed to the law, or whether their editorial position is neutral.

LAW BODY WEARS
 END 0F ITS WORK
Definite Propositions May Soon
 Be Made by Group

Washington, Oct. 15 [P - Ap- preaching a showdown on their long study of prohibition, the members of President Hoover's law enforcement commission returned here today to resume their discussions.
 Signs that definite propositions would soon be forthcoming were ap- parent. Already some of the special committee which conducted the fact finding inquiry into prohibition have reached some conclusions and are prepared at the proper time to sub nit proposals to the whole commits sion.
 The first decision confronting the ten men and one woman who have taken up this investigation is wheth- CT the dry law is being enforced and, if not, whether it can be enforced. There have been private intimations from the commission ranks that a negative is likely as the answer to the first question, but there has been no authoritative statement to that effect. Chairman Wickersham has several times reminded the public that no law is perfectly enforced, not even the law against murder.
 To guide the commissioners are many new reports and the members returned to their work today after a four day breathing spell which was ordered to permit full study of these papers.
 Consequently, with all of the facts now digested, the members believed they were ready to get down to the actual business of reaching definite conclusions on prohibition. But it is generally believed that the task of getting the eleven minds together on this subject will require some time.

CHURCH GROUPS
 FAVOR DRY LAW Would Give Statute Five Years
 More to Make Good

Washington, Oct. 15 LP) - The conclusion that prohibition must stand under fire for five years more was before the international conven- ton of disciples of Christ today.
 This assertion, coupled with a finding that the intensified wet cam paign of the past year was launch ed to make more difficult the enact ment of recommendations of the Wickersham commission" as well as to increase the wet strength in congress, was contained in the re- port of the brotherhood's board of temperance and .social welfare. The report is to be offered for approval tomorrow.
 ''The strategy of the opponents of prohibition" the report says. seems to consist of three elements, namely to create the conviction in the public mind that prohibition is a failure and that conditions are worse than under the saloon system; to secure

MARRIAGES SHOW
 JUMP FOR YEAR
Department Of Commerce Learns
 Facts Of Divorce Rate

Washington, Oct. Is LP) - Matri- mony claimed 1,232,559 couples in the United States last year, while during the same period 201,475 di- vorces were recorded.
 The preliminary report on the 1929 matrimonial statistics issued today by the department of com- merce showed 10.1 marriages were performed for every 1000 of popu- lation, while divorces totaled 1.66 per thousand.
 The marriages recorded one of the largest yearly increases, numer- ically and in percentage. exceeding the preceding years total by 5O,O62, or AZ per cent. There had been a decrease the preceding year of IS by comparison with 1927. The divorces, although showing an increase of 2.S per cent over 1928, could not keep up with the growth in marriages. Figure Ratio
 The ratio of divorces to marriages, computed by the department in response to numerous requests, showed that for each 6.1 marriages performed one couple was dissolved. The year before the ratio was an even six to one.
 Nevada was the outstanding lead CT among the states both in mar riage and divorce. Divorces totaled 2,533 and were 2S per 1000 of pop ulation. but the rate of marriages per 1000 was 63.7. This was attrib- uted largely by the government sta ticians to the adoption of strict mar riage laws by it's neighbor Califor mia. The same reason was given for Arizona's ratio of 17.3 per 1000, the second highest.
 Across the continent Delaware had the lowest figure on marriages, only 5.2 per 1000 with North Caro- lima close upon it with six. North Carolina showed a considerable de- crease from the preceding year. the statisticians said, because of a law requiring five days notice prior to issuance of licenses to those under 21.
 Georgia Lowest
 Georgia had the lowest proportion of divorces to marriages, one being granted only to each 13.3 new unions. In Nevada there was one di- vorce to each 2.3 marriages.
 Numerically Texas led in divorces, with 1SSS6 Illinois was next with 15,760; Ohio had 15,313, and Cali fornia 15,099. The only other state have more than 10000 divorces was Michigan with 11,9S1.
 New York reported the most mar riages, with 121,535, Illinois had S4,092, Pennsylvania 70,507, Ohio 65,679, Texas 63,173, and California completed the more than 50,000 class with 51,S66.
