special Dispetch TO the star.
HYATTSVILIE, Md, March ~. -
One Of the hottest contests for mayor
ever waged here seemed assured today
following announcement last night by
Councilman e. 3. Hilley that he had
decided to enter the contest and by
former Mayor william A. Brooks that
he had determined to withdraw.
Councilman Hilley's opponent for the
chief executives post Is Lemuel l..
Gray, a former councilman, who an
nounced his candidacy recently.
Mr. Brooks, who let 1t be known sew
eral weeks ago that he was in the
mayoralty race, has announced that he
not only is Withdrawing in favor of
Councilman Hilley but will nominate
him for mayor at the citizens nomi-
mating convention, April 20. Mr..
Brooks was in a delegation Of citizens,
which also included DR.. Hillary T. Will
lis, mayor, and citizens representing the
four wards of the town, who waited
upon MIR. Hilley last night and per-
suaded him to toss his hat into the
King.
Declared Favored by COuncilmen.
On behalf Of Councilman Hilley it was
explained today that he is the choice
for mayor of most members of the
council. He will ask the support of the
voters, it was declared, on the basis Of
his record and that of the administra-
ton with which he has been affiliated,
promising continuation of the work
and policies of the administration.
Councilman Hilley, who is one of the
Representatives of the fourth ward, en-
sbracing the northern part of the town,
In the council, and Is rounding out his
first term, IS chairman of the Finance
Committee Of the council and also is q
member Of the Police, Lighting and Fire
department and Municipal Building
Committees. he 10 vice president Of the
Prince Georges County Municipal ON
sceFa' Association and also vice president
Of the Prince Georges County Duckpin
Association
A few days ago mr.. HIley let it be
known that he was candidate to sue
coed himself as councilman and yester-
day l. L. Powers announced that he
also was an aSpirant for this post. Mr.
Powers has taken a keen interest In
town affairs for some time He was
recently elected president of the Hyatts-
vile Horticultural Society.
On behalf of the "administrat
forces it was announced today that it
was planned to put up q stout fight
to retain control Of the town govern
ment all down the line though 1t was
not certain that Mr.. Powers would be
opposed.
Opponent I'm First Ward Affected.
In the first ward It was believed al
most certain that Councilman o. G.
Dudrow soon would announce himself
q candidate to succeed himself against
former Councilman c. D. Anderson who
let 10 be known recently ne was In the
field.
It is also thought virtually certain
that T. d. FARRELL win announce his
candidacy soon In opposition to William
T. Jennings for councilman from the
second ward to succeed Harry A. Bos-
well, who will retire.
Thus far no one has come out for the
council in the third ward against Coun-
Gilman E. NJ Cover, who let It be known
Q few days ago that he was an aspi-
rant to succeed himself.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

TECILY owned but one pair Of
~ evening shppers-spike heeled,
pert, narrow things of black satin
with tiny imitation cut-steel buckles
but unfortunately they were a size
too small for Mary Frances.
She had put them on at 8 o'clock.
She dared not take them off for
fear she could not crowd them on
again, and they pinched her tip
toes cruelty and did burning things
TO her heels as she crept, each step
flUttering trepidation, each
squeaking board cold panic absolute,
through the long upper hall, past
Grand's and Rosalies door, past the
bathroom, past Anne's door with its
frightening streak of light, past
Cecilys room, and the east spare
rooms and the west spare rooms,
and went stealthily limping down
the back stairway.
She and Ermintrude had decided
earlier in the evening that an
ethereal effect was more important
than conventional, fashionable at
tire, and since her last summers
white dresses were each of them
several inches too short GLOW that
child does growIO she wore the
white Grecian robes that she had
worn for her solo dance in parents
assembly, and an old white chiffon
scarf of Rosalie's, long discarded,
was strung about her shoulders.
All during the evening, until the
past half hour, Mary Frances had
been composing speeches for herself
and for Earl-though chiefly for
Earl.
The slippers had brought praises
of fairy-feet, and parts of that
poem which Rosalie sometimes re-
peated: Sweet, thou hast trod on
a heart"-umpty- umpty, something
or other about men, finishing
chivalrously, Women as fair as
thou art must do such things now
and then"
Not that Mary Frances intended
treading on hearts, now or ever.
Her views concerning women who
did such things, heartless fiirts and
coquettes, were bitterly derogatory.
But, of course, it could easily turn
out that it had all been a terrible
mistake and misunderstanding, and
that the lady not really had trod on
a heart at ALL The scarf, while its
raveled edges had been reverently
kissed, had produced references to
angels and things high above-the
type of womanhood most approved
by Mary Frances.
But, for the past half-hour, all
that had been put aside, and for
gotten, Mary Frances had become
possessed OF but one purpose and
one resolve-to get to the walnut
tree five minutes after half-past 10;
to keep those pretty slippers on if
they killed her.
n II
CHE kept the slippers on, teeter-
~ ing tortuously on the high heels
down the graveled driveway. She
reached the walnut tree at precisely
25 minutes to II.
Earl was there. Earl was waiting
for her under the walnut tree. An
establishment in itself, without the
additional bewilderment of finding
a new Earl, an impetuous, whisper
ing person, who said, saw, you
sweet baby, you," and captured her
icy trembling hands and held them
. firmly while she responded with
only an odd, low, croaking sound.
Whats the matter, baby? You're
shaking all over. I wouldn't hurt
you for the world-See?"
Il never did think you'd hurt me-
she replied with choice little dig
nifty. Il guess I'm just kind of
nervous of something"
Excited to see me, baby?" He

Down into one of the gloomy aisles of the

when, Bwana, have you seen a Waziri
frightened?" asked Muviro, proudly. The ape
man smiled. "One OF you let me take his
rife" he said, "and then spread out through
the forest. Shoot to kill, but be careful Of the
girl who rides in front of one of them" He
had scarcely ceased speaking when the first of
the Horibs rode into view. Tarzan and the
Waziri made no effort to seek concealment and
at sight of them the leading Horib gave shrfn
cry Of pleasure.

REASON BY FREDERICK : a2EaIS

A LFONSOS refusal to renounce the throne of
n Spain, saying that it was deposit accumulate
ing through the centuries for which he must make
accounting reflects the old idea of royalty that diff
ferent countries belonged to different families because
they had ruled them for long time
AT war with idea is the theory OF popular govern
ment that no Office holder owns any country and that
the majority have the right at any time to give their
rulers their walking papers and tell them to beat it.
OF course, Alfonso can not be expected to see the
merits OF this theory.
LIE should feel that he is in luck, however because
the people of spain permitted him and his
family to leave in safety.
He should recall that Louis of France sought to
make his escape when the revolution broke upon
Paris and that he detected turned back and later
executed, along with his queen
Alfonso's government had condemned to death
several gentlemen for trying to upset his regime and
they were looking through the bars medtatng on the
Hight OF time when the republican uprising set them
free
The king is in luck that he was not placed in the
cell TO which he had consigned his enemies.
THE killing of this gangster chieftain in New York
Il City doesn't arouse much indignation on the
part OF aw-abiding people, for he had been charged
with long list of crimes but which the stupidity and
clumSiness of our criminal procedure, the courts had
been unable to touch him.
If our gangstrs did not wipe one another OH the
map, would soon have to give them deed to
the entire place, for we can not handle them in our
courthouses
So it is that the average man regards these gang
as very laudable enterprises
THE papers say that 500 women who were dressed
i fashionably called on President Hoover and
handed him petition for the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment.
It's likely the President would have been more
impressed if the women had been the wives Of day
laborers and not so fashionably attired
The swift conviction of former Congressman Row
bottom is another tribute to the neatness and dis
patch with which federal courts do business when
they care to do so.
Had Rcwbottom been brought into a state court
he would have had fair chance of dying of old age
before fnal Judgment.

u. S. Employment Agencies

We want to cheer the announcement of q new
federal employment service. For years there
has been such service, but it never did anything eff
fective. Now the President proposes to put it to
work and open at least bureau in every state
That of course, is what many citizens have been
urging for several years. Hoover himself proposed
it back in 1891 And virtually every unemployment
investigating commission since that time has recon-
mended such system
three years the liberals tried to put this reform
through congress. Finally they succeeded. when the
Wagner employment exchange bill was passed.
But Hoover had change of heart and vetoed the
Wagner bill Ever since he has been pounded by the
criticism of social service organizations, womens
clubs economists and most of the press Now he has
had another change of heart and is doing by
tive action what he refused to let congress do.
We not get wildly excited over the charges
that Hoover, in vetong tne Wagner bill and in
setting up Wagner system of his without the
political embarrassment OF that Democratic name has
been acting from partisan motives.
What difference does it make whether Wagner or
Hoover. Democrats or Republicans, both, both
or neither get the credit for this reform? The only
important consideration is that the system get under
way as quickly as possible and that it operate with
full efficiency.
It's efficiency will depend, in the main, on three
factors: First willingness to cooperate closely with
agencies 10 supplement- bnOSe
bureaus in handling the transfer of the unemployed
Of state to possible jobs in another state Second
experienced and able personnel to operate the sys
tenn Third, adequate funds to meet the present
emergency
Taking at its face value the announcement of Sec
rotary Of Labor Doak the administration realizes the
necessity of cooperating with and co-ordinating the
state systems.
The personnel factor is not so promising. The list
Of appointments given out by Doak may satisfy the
politicians and in labor union leaders. but
It is mediocre judged by the standards of employ
ment experts
Certainly the general houndering of public Of
1cals and business in miShandling the unenl-
ployment problem during the last eighteen months
Is sufficient proof that experts are needed.
At best, little be achieved with the small ap-
preparation at Hoover's disposal BY vetoing the
Wagner bill. he rejected a s13,5o0OOO fund
s1,5o0,o0o for this year. and 100000 for each of
the three following years
AS it is, he has a special 100000 appropriation
and S2850o0 from earlier fund. Obviously he can
do nothing than get started with s7S5OOo when
100000 men need jobs and almost an equal number
is on part time.
But the very limited federal employment system
proposed is better than none With this beginning
the President should be ready to extend it into an
adequate system next winter. Congress already has
shown its desire to appropriate the larger fund
necessary

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I have read your
paper every day for years, and I
must say it is the best in the state.
You print the truth, regardless of
whom it hurts.
I have been asked many times by
ex-soldiers from other states if our
state paid a bonus?
The answer is, no. Indiana's sis
ter states paid a bonus, but this
state denied the ex-soldiers one,
and now the World War Memorial
Plaza is being built with the money
the soldiers should have received.
He is financing this work. During
the war he almost was compelled to
buy Liberty bonds to finance the
war he fought, and then to think
that so many people here in Indiana
were opposed to the government
giving the ex-Soldier a chance in
such times as we are having now, to
borrow some more Of his own
money, when he really should have
the entire amount.
It's the ex-soldier who pays and
pays, even interest on his own
money, or loses all.
