Drastic Policy for Restoring
Political Peace Ordered
by President.

Bv United Press
HAVANA, March 13.-The gov
eminent Of President Garardo Ma
chado indicated today it will adopt
a much more drastic policy in fu-
ture efforts to restore political peace
in Cuba.
After more than six months Of
riots, bombing, student demonstra-
tons and revolutionary plots, the
administration has decided to deal
more vigorously with political Of
tenders who have recently increased
their efforts against the govern
ment.
An example Of the new policy was
the removal Of sixty political pr1s-
oners. including a group Of stu
dents from the city jail to the fed
eral prison at the Isle Of Pines.
Previously such prisoners had
been handled more leniently. Most
Of them merely were kept in jail
for a few days and released.
Transfer to the federal prison
caused wide surprise and despair
among the parents Of the students
involved.
In a similar manner the police
earlier this week had arrested an
entire group Of students who at
tended a subversive political meet
ing, rather than merely selling the
leaders.
Since September anti-government
agitation has been particularly
strong throughout the island, in
GLIDING student demonstrations,
manifestos by Nationalist or anti
government party leaders and by
foreign Communist leaders who
have been said by government Of
lcials to have found a fertile field

had climbed the stairs to her room she did not go out to dinner.
 | For three years now that room with the sloping ceiling and two rear windows had been Gypsy's home. She had moved to Mrs O'Hare's as soon as she had been able to give up the flat in Brooklyn after her father rier. Jerry Me- Brides insurance paid his burial expenses, one months rent, a few scattered debts, and left $500 in the bank. The city editor of the newspaper on which Jerry had been a coypreader for eight years gave Gypsy the letter of introduction which had brought about her em- ployment as typist by the Mac Namara Electrical Supply Co. The business training she had received in high school was meager prepara- tion with which to earn a liveli- hood. but Jerry's daughter had in- herited some of her fathers pluck. That Saturday evening-alone in her dreary quarters-was one of the occasions when Gypsy had need to call upon this inheritance.
 She sank down upon her favorite seat-a little old trunk pulled be- fore the windows and covered with gay floral cretonne. The windows were closed and Gypsy raised one of them to it's full height. The fresh, cool air was comforting. She took q deep breath and leaned her arms against the window sill.
 Tn the west the sun was shining but it's light was hidden by the housetops. There was a single tree in the small square of rear yard which Gypsy could see and a line hung with laundry. In the house across the way there were lights and woman moving about the
 Downstairs the girl knew Alan Crosby was dressing for dinner. He had spoken vaguely of spending the evening with people he met in Europe" Nothing at all about when he was to see Gypsy. Not when they were to exchange news and gossip as, in letters, Alan had said he was so eager to do.
 Gypsy rested her head wearily against the easement. She had reached the inevitable conclusion and there was no doubt about it. Alan had changed.
 That, unfortunately, was not the worst of it. The worst of the situa- tion was that Alan had changed and she had not.
 Gradually the sky darkened. More lights blinked in the opposite building and the odor of cooking food reached Gypsy's nostrils. Even then she did not think of eating. There were crackers and cheese and jar of marmalade in the square tin box on the table across the room but Gypsy did not think of them. Neither did she switch on the light Darkness was a bless ing.
 Gypsy did not know what time it was when at last she arose, slipped out of her clothing and prepared for bed. Not until her head reached the pillows did the tears come. Then she wept bitter, choking sobs. She wept until exertion quieted her. Crosby's neglect gradually became less of a tragedy. He would explain | it all when she saw him tomorrow Alan would make it seem very silly | of her to have been so miserable 1 Comforted, at last she slept.
 Sure enough. the following morn ing her hopes were justified. It was | II o'clock. Gypsy was coming uI | the stairs after breakfast and 2
 walk. As she passed the third fool landing Crosby's door opened. The young man appeared, smiling. | Gypsy" he called. Wait min

CAN CUT DOWN
 DIVORCE RATE

Madison, Wis.-Steady rise in the divorce rate of the United States can be halted only by alarming the pub lie over the current insecurity of marriage, Dr Edward Alsworth Ross, University of Wisconsin so- biologist declared in an interview here.
 The increase in percentage of di- vorces "is not due to. the fact that there are divorces when there is no need of them, but that there are marriages when they are not advis- able,' the noted socio!ogist said.
 Dr Ross is the author of books based on sociological studies in the United States, China, Panama. Rus- sia and other countries. He believes that the increase in divorces is di- rectly related to "the very marked individualism of our age"
 "One method of combating the problem may start in the home with the education of children to the fact that marriage should be for keeps.," he said. Present unhappy or poorly made marriages cannot be remedied, but failure of future mar riages can be guarded against. When young people have been prol.A ly impressed with the responsibility of marriage and the sanctity of the ceremony, a big step will have been taken toward this end.
 If divorces were made impossi- ble. adultery and infidelity would only become more prevalent. Cou- ples would not live together when they arrived at the point where they wished a divorce. and bigamy would become more common"
 Dr Ross cited that student in one of his seminars at Stanford uni- versity in 1897 found numerous

The hotel dining room had an or- chestra that was just tuning it's in- struments for the evening, when the three girls walked in.
 One of the musicians hailed Sa- rah familiarly and she shrugged her shoulders as she turned away.
 T can't be friendly with them. They think I'm cold and high-hat, I suppose. But if act like that I'll be fired and then I won't have to stay here. If resign of my own accord and starve I'll have mystelf to blame. Queer psychology isn't it, but it seems to suit me-"
 Her eyes contracted a little.
 Far across the room where some early diners were being served Ted was sitting with Joan.
 In the dressing room Sarah went on talking, while she frightened the red of her lips and the, rose of her cheeks. "The perfect hostess will now put on her mask and tell the hotel guests how delighted she is that they are here and how much she hopes that they will like the mock turtle soup and the turkey that grew to be a very old hen!"
 Seated at a corner table, where they could see without being seen, Sue and Corrinne ordered and pre- tended to eat while Sarah greeted the patrons.
 She's got pluck" Corrinne said. "She was pretty strong for Ted once upon a time and she doesn't realize that it is just the memory with which she is in love. I suppose one is as bad as the other. though when you can't disferentiate."
 Perhaps" Sue was eating her soup slowly. She didn't want to talk. She was wondering where Jack had gone.
 Under cover of the confusion Sue told Corrinne of the information which Jack had given her that af- ternoon.
 How will Jack prove that this accompliceship had anything to do with Dad?" Corrinne asked.
 Hell find a way" There was Sues voice, the kind that women have always given when their hearts have been slipped into the pocket of a man. Hell manage somehow"
 You're keen about him, aren't you?" Corrinne asked.
 Why not? You have the same kind of an affiiction and you'll be making up almost any minute"
 T wish I could believe that. But I know better. That courteous in- difference doesn't have the hot fires of a great and passionate love be- hind it. Then Corrinne's voice changed. Sue, do you realize that maybe, at this time tomorrow. our father will be sentenced to ... to ..

 TEST FOR YOV

New York -(NEA)-If you are an intelligent person, you more than likely will possess the following characteristics quoted by Prof Wal ter B. Pitkin as being possessed of such persons. The qualifications are taken from his book. "The Psychol- ogy of Achievement" They follow:
 Lively curiosity toward matters. A desire to investigate some of these matters for oneself.
 Strong trend to analyze whatever one thinks about. and to perceive the factors of the matter in their inte-relations. Fairly active imagin- ation.
 Unusually even performance over long periods: little tendency to dew fate much from ones usual level of skill
 "Clear understanding of ones chief desires and aspirations; hence, concentration on dominant interest. Memory somewhat better than av- craze and decidedly selective. Pa- tience with details.
 Interest in reflection and obser- yation much stronger than interest

Spring-time house cleaning yard-cleaning time! Safety time! Now that we can have dinner by daylight, and the fresh, sweet air in- vites us outdoors, the children are swarming. They are out on the porches, out in the yard and out on the sidewalk and street.
 | The sidewalk and street offer their own problem, of course, in fact the biggest problems of all, but in warning the children about traffic we are very likely to overlook cer- tain small dangers that may turk nearer home.

But rusty nails, are such easy things to pick up if we take a few minutes some day and go gunning for them. Add to these small menaces, bits of broken glass or china that seem to drop from nowhere during the winter months. The snow melts and we wonder how on earth all that truck ever got there. We'll, it's hard to say. Dogs unset garbage cans, and bottles roll out and break. The daily waste-baskets that have to be emptied in the "burn-pile" where families have only gas furnaces, con- tain everything from broken needles to the fabled razor-blades. Patent bottle tops, also those nasty pin af- fairs that stores tag on price marks and wait like serpent's teeth for our trusting feet, old pen-points, tacks- please tell me what doesn't find it's way sooner or later to these corner baskets. to be spilled later in the yard on the way to the burner.
 Where there are children think that d-cleaning should be begun before house-cleaning, for it is not necessary for child to be barefoot to get hurt. As soon as he starts to play outdoors there's danger.
 If the porch swing has been up all winter, the hooks and chains should be tested before he begins to play street-car on it.

Very simply cut is this tremen- dously smart dress. And there are lots of things about it that the heavier women will like.
 The eross-over lines need no in- troduction. The one-sided softly falling jabot rever deserves mention for it detracts so beautifully from breadth. There is still another point 1.-the clever arrangement of the hem -flared fullness. A printed crepe silk in dark ground is smartness itself for all-

NANCY PAGE Anagrams Have New Rules
 at the Lacey Home
sy Florence La csnke.


 The Lacey girls were enjoying anagrams as played by their parents and friends. But they found it rather stupid at times, since the fun of that game consists in making new combinations, of letters using an op- ponent's word together with a new ly drawn letter. And 1t takes real word knowledge to make these changes quickly and frequently.
 That being the case the girls set themselves to see whether there was not some new way of using anagram letters. They evolved two new yer sions. First, they heaped the letters in the center of the table with letter or face side down. Then each mem. Der drew 25 letters. If they drew Q without companion U, or if they drew too many difficult consonants like V. x or z they were privileged to change them. From the 25 letters

The glowing auburn hair, swirIing With careless perfection and drawn pack from the ears, was like a coro- net. Mrs Langley's aristocratic face was utterly pale except for the lips which formed a narrow crim- son bow. Her eyes were the green of her gown. shaded with gray
 Everything about her--from the flaming bowl of peoples on the mantlepiece to the jade ash tray on the low table beside her-had been chosen as stage properties to en- hance the beauty of their owner.
 Mrs Langley's expression was Thoughtful. She spoke in low, contralto voice:
 But you must sec" she was say ing. how important it is for you to know these people. They have influence and they'll help you"
 Alan Crosby snuffed out his cig- aret and moved uneasily.
 T know" he said, "only-I'll feel like four-flusher. You know how lucky I think I am even to get a $J0-a-week job. I'm not ashamed of it--''
 But. Alan, dear, they're my friends! And you, know 1 do so want to help you,'
 Crosby leaned toward her. You ar, helping me- he said. You hare. l don't suppose you could ever realize how much you've done hp nj at and knowing anyone could be so beautiful is something I can't quite express"
 Catherine Langley smiled serene ly Compliments pleased her.
 "Then you'll do just this one little thing to please me-" she asked soft ly. This one little thing - for me-
 The young man hesitated His dark eyes grew serious.
 ''Catherine,' he said earnestly, you know there's nothing L. wouldn't do for you. But don't you see the situation? I've got to work and make money. A lot of it. Right away. Every cent I had I spent in France"
 There was silence for moment. FOfH DeHedtH lOWefeu ldSfleS Mrs Langley studied the tiny tip of a green kid slipper.
 ''You-you mean you think you oughtn't to see me any more?' Her voice was low. carefully restrained.
 1t brought Crosby to his feet and beside her
 "Of course not. Catherine you can't think that, That isn't what l mean at all. It's oh, damn it. Don't you see that's exactly what I don't mean?'
 The gold lashes raised for fleet ing instant, lowered again.
 'I'm afraid I don't understand, Alan" said Mrs Langley. Sup pose you tell me-"
 He had taken both of her hands in his. But I can't tell you." Crosby explained. 'I cant tell you now It's because you're so wonder ful yourself that money-all these luxuries you take as a matter of course seem unimpOrtant. But Laey are important. And they take money. That's why I've got tc work. You'll let me come to see you just the same, won't you? Not at parties, Catherine, but evenings when we can be alone?

There was a wordless instant Then he caught her in his arms Crosby's lips were pressing kisses on Catherine's cheeks, upon the flaming, painted Cupids bow that was her mouth. Over and over again he kissed her "Catherine!" he whispered at last brokenly. "Oh, Catherine.'
 She drew away slightly. A faintly mocking, quality came into the woman's smile. She knew so exactly how to time her moods This young artist would not only be handsome escort but he was proving manageable It would all be as easy as she had hoped
 There will be other times" she reminded him, rising. And we will have evenings together-as in Paris. But my little party this even- ing-you1l come ?''
 Crosby nodded.
 "Of course I will"
 Mrs Langley moved toward the mantel and drew one of the scarlet tulips from the amber bowl. Then she turned about. toying with the blossom. She could see her reflec- tion in the mirror across the room. She was pleased with the reflection.
 The young man waited, watching. Now he arose.
 ''I wish I could paint you as you are, standing there!" he exclaimed. Lord. Catherine. you're beautiful. There's no one like you!"
 She waved aside his words. AL ways there was purpose beneath the silken exterior of. Mrs Lang leys manner but that purpose was deftly concealed.
 Let me see if you mean that" she said quickly. Will you do me favor?"
 You know that I will.'
 She paid him with smile. Very well. Then you can paint me. I will pose for you any time you say. The favor is that you are to move from that wretched downtown room- ing house. Rememb Der, you've prom ised."
 "I'll have to find a place as cheap"
 You can do that. There are a dozen neighborhoods to choose from"
 They've-they've been awfully nice to me down there."
 Whom do you mean by they ?"
 "Why-the woman who runs the place. The others who stay there"
 Mrs Langley smiled. That proves you need me to see you're not imposed upon," she said. Its only that I want you to be com fortable so you can do your best work. dear. Is that so dreadful?"
 He agreed that it was not. He would move within the next few days. Anyway before the end of the week.
 Crosby left the apartment with the promise to return at seven O clock. They were to attend din- ner party with friends of Mrs Langley.
 Gypsy Mcbride spent that Satur- day evening in her tiny fourth-floor bedroom. She had waited down. stairs until late afternoon when Alan came in. There had been few words between them and then Gypsy made excuses. Something in a muffled voice about meeting friends No one noticed that after the girl
