Norma's economic principles, re-

next, went glimmering. Here was
proof of the love that meant more
to her than anything else in life.
They began to make hasty
preparations for the trip. Ten min
utes of the two hours which Mark
had allowed them was gone.
The little brown overnight bag
which Norma had brought with her
the evening before-all the luggage
they possessed-stood waiting. Mark
held the polo coat and the girl flung
her arms into it.

greeting from the threshold. In
three skips and leap Norma was
in his arms.
She was laughing, touching his
cheeks with reassuring fingers, rails
ing her lips for his kiss all in one
instant. She was aware there was
film before her eyes.
"Oh, Mark! I've been such an
idiot. I was afraid something had
happened-w
Happened? Well, should think
there has. I'll tell the world some
things happened. What do you
suppose I've been doing all this
time? Listen, baby, we're starting

They were folded into a huge roll.
What? Why. where in the
WORLD" Norma floundered for the
words.
Before she could go on Mark had
caught her arms and was whirling
her into crazy whirl-i-gig pi-
rouette.
Don't you hear me, Norma dar-
ling? Don't you understand? We're
going places! Come on-we've got
just two hours to make the train!

does that strike you? Blue Springs,
where the sun shines and skies are

Oh, you'll love It'll
Blue Springs is the grandest place
to play in these here United States.
You and me, Normal Why-why,
what's the matter?"
He could not understand the ex-
preston in the girls eyes.
Whats the matter?" Mark re-
peated. Don't you want to go to
Blue Springs?"
"Of course only, Mark, do you
think we should? I mean, do you
think right now"
Right now? Say, when is it GUS
tomary to go on a honeymoon?
After the ceremony or fifteen years
later?
IF there's some place you'd rather
go than Blue Springs, I suppose I
can change the tickets. I was sure
you'd like it there"
mo, no! 1t isn't that! I'd love it.
Of course. ibid love any place

Tell me why you don't want to

Il do want to go, Mark! I guess
well, all the time I was here

MAYHEM she had made herself as
w presentable as possible, the girl
spent a rueful moment before the
mirror. Her dress was the one she
had worn the night before. 1t was
a brown crepe of utmost simplicity,
bought only three weeks before.
Modish. well-fitting in spite Of its
cheapness-but brown. Brown was
no color for bride to wear! Her
neat pumps we're brown, too, and
she had worn the brown beret in
place of hat. 1t had seemed ap-
propriate for the drive to Woodbury.,
less appropriate this morning.
Well. doubtless hundreds of other
brides who had made impulsiVe mar
riages had known the same pangs
over absence of wedding finery.
From the sitting room window
Norma could see the huge clock on
a skyscraper two blocks away.

She tried peering down into the
street to see if she could see him.
That was ridiculous. The window

TT was difficult letter to write.
4 Norma sat at the neatly appointed
desk a long while before she put
her pen down on the fresh paper.
She began three separate pages
and in rapid succession discarded
them. 1t was fully forty-flve min
utes before the note was finished
and then Norma studied it with dis
satisfaction before finally the sheet
was folded and inserted in its en-
velope.
She addressed it, but left the flap
unsealed. Sheawould ask Mark what
he thought of the note before mail
ing it.
Surely Mark should be there!
Terror with clutching, vise-like
fingers of ice gripped the girls

misstep-oh, if anything had hap

Again she sought the window.
Then for ten minutes Norma paced
back and forth-back and forth.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY

days before the Armistice. Right here it should be said that 'The Last Flight" Is not a flying picture, but a romance-hilarious, though touched with tragedy-of the men who try to adjust themselves to the humdrum of peace after war.
 Cary Lockwood meets up with other birds of the same feather, Broncho Bill Talbot, once of Mon tana who is a giant ex-gunner, Shep Lambert, also of the flying brother hood, and Washout, once the best shot of the squadron, but now nervous wreck-and the buddies hit the high spots. Drama enters with a capital D, when Nikki, the girl who says she can walk faster in red shoes-appears-al her self to be "adopted"-and sets forth with the group on their mad cap wanderings.
 Then there is the outsider, a meddlesome newspaper correspon-
 dent from America. who tries to steal Nikki-and-but that is tell ing the story. It is enough to say that "The Last Flight" is TO- nance of unique and semi-tragic beauty-lived in a glittering pam orama of Iife-in Paris, Portugal and in Never -Never-Land. It is a story you won't be able to for get.
 MT Barthelmess is supported by Helen Chandler, remembered as the girl in Outward Bound'-who plays the part of Nikki with tan talizing zest. Big Bill Talbot is DOT trayed by John Mack Brown; Shep Lambert by David Manners; and the Washout by Elliott Nugent. Frink, the shady newspaper man IS done by Walter Byron.
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies the feature pres. entation, Joe O'Keefe has an all new organ presentation.

 AMERICAN BAR MAKES PROPOSAL

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept 16. (UP)-Organized crime is increas- ing so rapidly in the United States that it is time to consider if such remedies as vigilance commit tees" and drum head courts mar tiaI' must be devised, in the opin- ion of Charles A. Boston of New York, president of the American Bar Association.
 Boston, speaking before the as- sociation of attorneys-general at their meeting prior to the 54th an- nual bar convention, expressed doubt that American civilization is able to cope with crime.
 Prevention of crime appears im- possible, detection is relatively rare, conviction is always doubt full" Boston said. Yet the jails are as full as ever.
 "Only small percentage of major criminals are detected and only two per cent of all criminals are convicted. Our present methods of treating convicts has scarcely accomplished anything.
 "It is possible that a citizens crime squad might prove beneficial in the prevention and detection of crime.
 'I wonder whether we might not under the regulation of law so as to prevent intolerable abuse, utilize and develop a citizens con- stabulary, properly organized and officered, subject to call like fire department or a riot squad, answerable for misuse of power, but endowed with some of the functions of vigilance committee and as quick in action as the hue and cry to apprehend criminals.
 "If all other remedies fail we might install drumhead court mar tial methods and try the offenders as soon as they are captured, using bystanders for witnesses"
