said to Martin. His face was blotchy
with rage, yet there was a vicious
sneering look Of exultation about it,
too. you've come to exactly the
right place. I've got something for
you" Then he wheeled on Claire.
"You can get out and you needn't watt
You needn't come back, either. I'm
through with you. You'd better go
quietly. If my uncle finds you're up
here you'll be riding in patrol wagon
before you know it,"
The opening Of the door seemed
somehow to bring her to decision.
She stood still considering for mo-
ment before she walked out. "All
right" she said, Il think I'll just let
him know I'm here and see what he
does about it. You see, you really
are too much Of fool"
Max closed the door. He was ready
to say something, but Martin spoke
first.
sT've come up here to get Miss
Rhoda White" he saidS at will save
time and argument if you will take me
to her."
you're too late for her." Max an
swered. "She was here but she's gone
away. saw her out myself. Did you
think that was what had for you?
Well, it isn't. It's something else.
You'll save yourself the worst of it if
you'll hand over what you and that
other girl stole from me this after
noon. I mean railroad ticket and a
trunk check. Come across now!
Quick"
Martin had sudden realization of
his folly in coming into Max's pres
ence with the ticket and the receipt
for Rhoda's trunk upon his person.
There was no misunderstanding what
Max meant to do.
Martin, who was no boxer, and in
deed no physical match on any terms
for his antagonist, tried to slip around
him and get to the door. But Max
was quicker than he was and he met
his rush with blow on the jaw that
was like the kick of a mule. A crash
ing sound accompanied by q brilliant
display of lights was the last thing
Martin was conscious Of for several
minutes.
The next thing was stream Of cold
air and wetness and q pair of light
hands exploring beneath his unbut-
toned coat. He did not remember
Rhoda's trunk check and ticket, that
Max had said he meant to get. but all
the same he tried to push the hands
away. Even as he did so the fog
lifted enough for him to realize that
they were girls hands and that they
weren't picking his pockets.
The shaky voice that said, "It's all
right. Lie STILL" sounded like Rhoda's
and the face he giddily saw bending
over him looked like Rhoda's. 1t
couldn't be, could it? What would she
be doing here? Where was this, any
how? And why was his head drenched
with water? 1t was Rhoda. She was
getting clearer every minute.
SIT really is you, isn't it?" he said.
She nodded and said, "Don't talk.
Lie STILL"
AS his vision cleared and things got
less swimmy he saw that she'd been
crying, and the shock Of that discov-
cry lifted the fog from his memory.
This was the room where he'd encoun-
tered Max Lewis.
whats he been doing to you?" he
asked.
Max? Nothing He didn't know
was here He thought I'd gone, just
as he told you."
"But you must have been here to
have heard him tell me So"
II was in that room in the dark.

but she didn't see me when came in.

CAR EXPERTS
TANCLE over
DIESEL TESTS
General Motors Engineer
Finds Stern Opposition
From Austrian Delegate.

Ry Science Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l-Is the
time ripe for oil-burning Diesel en-
gines to take the place of the gaso-
line power plants under the hoods
Of Americas 27,0OO0 automobiles?
Even prominent automotive engi-
heers give opposite answers to this
question. Colonel George A. Green.
Vice-president in charge of engi-
neering Of General Motors Truck
Corporation, and julius Kuttner,
representing Oberhaensli Oil En-
gines of Austria. clashed on the
subject before the national trans
portation meeting Of the Society of
Automotive Engineers here.
Basing his conclusions on exhaus-
tive comparative tests of one of the
best heavy duty Diesel engines now
commercially available and on a
gasoline engine having approx
mately the same displacement,
Colonel Green declared that the
Diesel has not been developed suf-
ficiently to be applied with success
to automobiles in this country.
Lack of AcceleratiOn
The chief operating disadvan-
tages, he pointed out, are lack of
rapid acceleration or pickup and
the giving off or a dense cloud of
black smoke when running at full
load which precludeS the operation
of the engine in crowded areas.
Other reasons why Diesel engines
would not find a ready market were
said to be higher first cost and
maintenance, greater weight and
size, roughness of operation and
noise
In the discussion which followed
the pesentation of Colonel Green's
paper, Kuttner showed engineering
curves made up fro mcomparative
tests on six Diesel engines and six
gasoline engines which, he said, in
dicate that the Diesels have greater
acceleration than the gas-burning
engines. He suggested that Colonel
Green might have reached different
conclusions had he run tests on a
number of different engines.
Better for Heavy Duty
Colonel Green admitted that for
heavy duty truck or coach operation
Diesels will be satisfactory, except
for smoking, and will result in
marked fuel economy; but, he said,
those who ride must be satisfied
with less accelceration. Likewise the
Diesel, with some other disadvan-
tages, might be applied to passenger
cars and trucks But he contended
that Americans have become so
used to cars with a quick getaway
that they will not tolerate those that
are slower to speed up.
There is a splendid opportunity
for Diesels in aircraft and marine
work" Colonel Green said but fur
ther development is necessary be-
fore the Diesel engine can be salts
factorily exploited in this country
as an automotive power plant"
If the use of the Diesel becomes
widespread, the engine will lose one
of its great advantages, namely,
fuel economy, because the cost of
the fuel would certainly increase,
Colonel Green believes.

While Alabama ministers were con-
Quoting weekend prayers that
President Hoover might sign the

what appeared to be certain veto.
The Presidents unusual and in
definite analyses of the situation,

with that authoritative interpreta-

During the presidential campaign
of 1923, Mr.. Hoover made known his
fundamental opposition to govern
ment ownership or operation pro-
posals. At the same time, he un-
officially placed Muscle Shoals in
special category because it was q
war time enterprise already owned
! by the government.
His latest statement was designed
| to bring his previously expressed
policy up to date, according to those
in touch with his plans.
The new statement pointed out
that the bill had become so import
ant an issue in the minds of some
that it enveloped the whole power
question. 1t stressed Mr.. Hoover's
general power policy of obtaining

troll under federal cooperation.

CAUSES DAMAGE
IN FIJI ISLANDS

SUVA, Fiji Islands, March 2. UD
The north and east coasts OF Viii
Levu island. largest of the Fill
group, were swept today by the third
hurricane within less than two
weeks.
The hurricane, fully as severe as
the two which preceded it, brought
rainfall for the period to more than
100 inches and added to the devas-
tation throughout the islands.
Except that the death toll OF the
hurricanes has mounted above 100,
little was known of the extent oil
damage from the latest disaster.
Repeated floods resulted from the
heavy rains, hampering relief work
in the stricken districts. Vessels
with food and medical supplies were
sent from Suva TO the interior, where
thousands were made homeless by
the destruction OF their dwellings,
Destruction of crops, including
American pineapple fields, was
practically complete.
