When did Flora Hackett kick up

Chapter 31 JULIAN SEES HIMSELF

After the train carrying David and Fran and their children had gone they all came back to Q house that seemed empty and for lorn.
 Petie Baker lay in the hall with his black nozzle between his brown paws.
 Poor old Petie, you miss them, don't you?" Nora whispered.
 He thumped his tail once on the floor and was still.
 Fergus had to hurry off at once. Aunt Elm said she would have time for three lessons; Hallie disap- peared into her tiny room. Life went on. The people that you loved dropped out of your life and you had to go on as though nothing had happened.
 | Someone was playing tattoo on the front door and Nora rushed out to find her father there.
 He looked very shabby, but there was still rakish gayety about him. She had dreaded to see him. She expected a broken man, humiliated, pathetic; but he was unchanged.
 Don't look at, me as though I'm an escaped convict. It was a bad break, but such things will hap pen!"
 She drew him into the back par Tor and closed the door. He asked her what had happened until she told him what Damon intended to do.
 I'll go away again. She won't find me!'
 Julian, you can't! Go out to Damon and tell her you're willing to go through with it."
 T can't do that"
 He walked the room. Suddenly, he laid bare the dark secrets, the small things that had humiliated him and burned in his heart. The l terrible struggle to keep from breaking down, to come at last to some kind of recognition. He had had no talent, and even earnest work had not brought him anything but jeers. But he had gone on hop ing. Nora had only half guessed these things, but as he talked she remembered days when he had painted when they had not had enough to eat, with Julian fever ishly hopeful over some poor daub.
 Everyone laughing at me And I thought some day I'd show them. "
 He was walking up and down the room talking feverishly as he laid before her the story of those years. Even these last weeks that he had spent at Cape Cod had been an un- bearable struggle to go on with the craft he loved. He had slept in the barn of an artist, eaten where and when he could, penniless, too proud to let her know.
 I'd earn my dinner with a story, by making them laugh at me. God, I knew that tool"
 Nora sat still. For her father had

Truck Marks of Mentors
 Bested by Lads They Coach

KANSAS CITY, June 1.-Two track coaches who attacted world wide attention when they com peted for the University of Mis- souri a decade ago have proteges whose performances are overshad- owing their mentors best efforts.
 Brutus K. Hamilton, coaching at the University of Kansas. has de- veloped Clyde Coffman, Jayhawker sophomore, into, an all-around ath- lete whom he rates as potentially better than himself at his best.
 In his unheralded debut at the Illinois relays septathlon, Coffman made the highest point total on record except that made by Barney Berlinger of Pennsylvania in win ming the seven event test this spring.
 Hamilton, who won the Illinois septathlon in his college days, ex- poets Coffman to follow his foot steps, which led to the Olympic games. A 152-pounder, Coffman is specializing in the pole-vault, jave- lin and discus for present competi- tion, and training to perfect him. self in the other events. He holds the Kansas pole-vault record of 13 feet, T 1-2 inches.
 The other Big Six athlete who knocked off one of his coach's long standing records is Bob Hager of Iowa State College.

LISTENERS SHUN
 PROGRAMS TAGGED
 AS EDUCATIONAL

NEW YOYRK, June 17.-Ayersion of people to amy open proposal tc educate them is one of the prob lens of the broadcaster in the opinion of Sir John c. w. Keith.
 "The attachment of the adjectiv: educational to any matter is apt to weigh heavily against it's ac- ceptance," says the director gen. eral of the British Broadcasting corporation, who is visiting this country with Lady Keith to study broadcasting here.
 Radio can make democracy safa for the world, he said in an ad- dress, but the ''pontifical attitude should be avoided in presenting programs
 "A pontifical attitude ne said "or still more, the suspicion in or dinary, peoples minds that it ex- ists, is perhaps the greatest dan- ger that radio education has cc face.
 Tt is not normal indifference that has to be overcome, but defi- nite aversion in those very edu- cable elements that you wish te reach"
 Sir John, head of a radio system which is based not on advertising but on licensing system and cer- tain publishing activit ies, has something to say about what he called "ballyhoo."
 T submit" he said, that there is risk of educational ballyhoc as well as of commercial ballyhoo
 Tt is not so vulgar; it is less ag- gressive; different in form, quite different in motive; but is it moi more or less the same fundamen- tally-an assertion that this label ed brand of culture is the only culture, as this labeled brand of soal is the only soap.
 Tt has been discovered that this is not the way to sell goods to the radio audience, whether the goods Ibe material or spiritual"

RADIO AD WAR
 ANTICIPATED IN
 NEXT CONGRESS
Measures to Prohibit or Restrict Advertising
 Sure to Result

WASHINGTON, D. C., June IT, A battle over radio regulation is expected to develop in the next congress.
 Decision of the American News paper Publishers Association to wage a fight against alleged unfair competition by radio stations in news and advertising broadcasting is considered certain to result in the introduction of measures seek ing to prohibit or restrict direct advertising over the air.
 Investigate Legality
 The publishers association ha S instructed its directors to investi- gate the legality of direct adver- tising broadcasts. The publishers contend that these stations re- ceive governmental aid by virtue of a franchise in wavelength which they say is tantamount to a monopoly. This is held by them to be unfair competition with other advertising media not so favored.
 The association also has de- manded that the federal radio com mission prohibit broadcasting lot tery or gift enterprises as publica- tion of such matter in newspapers is forbidden by law.
 "COmmercialism"
 While members of the commis- sion individually have expressed disapproval of direct advertising and have deplored "an over-empha- sis of commercialism" in programs the commission itself has held it did not have the authority to re- strict advertising since the radio act forbids program censorship
 The commissioners. hcweve- ' have indicated they are much con- ce. ned over recent developments in the attitude of newspaper publish CTS toward radio. At the offices of the commission it vas said reccm- mendations probably world be mad' to. congress seeking amendment of the radio law to prohibit lotteries snd curb direct advertising on the air

 CLADFAREWELL
Fashion Dictates that Old- fashioned Curves Now
 the Thing

ROCHESTER, Minn., June IT, The physician is as happy as the woman who pines for more food to hear that fashion is dictating the return of old-fashioned curves, be- lieves Dr. E. S. Judd, president elect of the American Medical As sociation.
 Word from Paris and New York that the boyish figure will be thing of the style past is the most heartening news of women's fash ions received for years, in his opin- ion.
 Starvation Diets End
 The end of starvation diets which have helped increase tuber- culosis, low blood pressure and aremia among the women of the United States has come with this news, believe" Dr. Judd said.
 We now will enter an era in which girl may hope to eat a square meal without a twinge of conscience.
 Eating now will be stylish. It will be a boon to the medical pro- fession, for we have tried to dis courage the wholesale starvation diets"
 Common Sense"
 There is no royal road to slim ness, Dr. Judd believes. Avoiding the two extremes of exercise, too much or none at all, any woman who uses common sense" in what and how much she eats will have the best chance to live long and healthily.
 Her mood should be one of con- tent whether she gains more weight than she would like or not, he says, for extra weight is much more healthy than an 18-day diet. x

 Go and ask, Fergus, if Damon is there. If she's all right?'
 She sat huddled under the rug her face so wild and white that Fergus could not bear to look at her. She watched him disappear Fergus found her sitting like bird huddled in it's feathers when he re- turned to her.
 Damon isn't home. She and your father went for a walk along the river"
 "Oh, Fergus!"
 She sprang from the car. Noth- ing could keep her now from going with him. They walked toward the river and found trodden path that ran beside it, and skirted the woods. Nora hurried beside Fergus without a word. As far as they could see this path was empty.
 She cultched his arm. Her fathe, couldn't have done anything. But she remembered those wild threats he had made against Damon.
 "Oh, Fergus, I can't see them anywhere" she cried. T can't even see their footsteps. Do you sup pose"
