ridiculous, secret notion that pres

If not that, surely Arthur or some
agent Of fate would appear and tell
her everything was a mistake and
that she should come hone.
No. That was impossible. Arthur
was not even permitted to leave the
house. And there was no way fol
him to trace her whereabouts if he
could come.
One thing was clear in Judith's
mind. Sc was not going to leave the
metropolis. If two weeks must be
spent in loneliness, she would spend
them here.
She was aware, of course, that
there is nowhere in the world hid

crowded, teaming island of Manhat

Again she came back to the prob
lenl-Where to next?
Judith thought of the rooming
house in which she had lived before
her marriage. No, she did not want
to return there. She did not want
to meet any one who had ever
known her before.
She considered other sections of
the city, sections which were
vaguely familiar and which she
thought she could afford. This last
clause set restrictions.
Judith Knight had less than $50
in her purse. 1t was Arthur's
money. She had not wanted to take
even that much, but of course she
must live. 1t would be ample for
two weeks of the frugal existence
she knew well.
Suddenly the name of a hotel
north of Columbus Circle came to
mind. Judith did not recall who
had told her of it. 1t might have
been long ago during those weeks in
business school. No-She remem-
bered now. 1t was a place Andy
Craig had mentioned.
Andy had said the hotel was
clean and cheap.

she picked up her luggage and paid
her check.

STRONGER BREW
URGED BY DYER
Hoover Is Asked to Have Law
Commission Fix Alcohol
Percentage.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. ,E
After call at the White House,
Representative Dyer of Missouri, rank
ing Republican ON the House judiciary
committee, said today he had suggested
to President Hoover that the Law En-
forcement Commission be asked to TX
the percentage Of alcohol which could
be manufactured in any beverage In
compliance with the eighteenth amend
ment.
Dyer said the benefit of increasing the
limit OF alcoholic content within the
Notwithstanding range would make
legitimate the manufacture of bever-
age which would be palatable and would
eliminate the illegal but widespread
practice of me-brewing.
The Wickersham Commission, he
added, undoubtedly would report to the
President and to Congress that bever-
ages containing not more than 8 per
cent of alcohol are Notwithstanding,
and, in fact, possibly would express the
conclusion that change III the law
would assist in enforcement.
There is every reason to anticipate"
Dyer said, that If the people were en-
abled to secure these nom intoxicating
beverages in compliance with law, the
public would be more amenable to the
prohibition enactment"
He asserted he felt the Wickersham
Commission was in position to find out
what beverages were intoxicating and
that its finding would bear weight not
only with Congress, but with the people
as a whole.

WORD ON BYRD AID
STILL WAITED HERE
State Department Believes Every
Effort Will Be Made to Pre-
vent Narrowing.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The State Department today was
still awaiting direct information from
Minister Swenson at Oslo, replying to
instruction to obtain Norwegian CO.
operation for the relief of Rear Ad-
miral Byrd and his Antarctic explora-
ton party.
With no further request for co-opera-
ton from Byrd's hackers, officials of
the department remained confident
that everything possible would be done
to prevent the party from being ma
rooned for another South Polar Winter
with food supplies inadequate for the
long siege.
Disposition of Norwegian and British
whalers to minimize the acuteness of
the situation, reported in press dis
patches from abroad, did not cause the
department to alter its position that
immediate aid should be provided.
While 1t was reported yesterday from
Oslo that Minister Swenson had been
informed the whalers believed the ice
packing surrounding the Ross Sea,
which is isoIating Byrd from the world,
would break up within a few days,
failure to receive cabled reply
from the Minister was generally inter-
preted to indicate he was pursuing
negotiations with the Norwegian foreign
ONCE and possibly with the whaling
companies. Should the normal break
up OF the ice occur it was believed that
even the Byrd supply ships, whose power
is inadequate to forcing through heavy
ice, might be able to reach the partys
base.
