ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOV-
ER'S SPECIAL TRAIN, ENROUTE
TO WASHINGTON, June 1o. U.p)-
Indicating satisfaction with the re-
suits of his mid-western tour, Pres
ident Hoover was on his way back
to Washington today facing sum-
mer of work with efforts to slim
ulate recovery from the depression
as his big objective.
1t was stated on behalf of the
President that he was thoroughly
gratified at the reception he re-
ceived in indianapolis, Ind, Marion
and Columbus, Ohio, Springfield,
Ill, and numerous cities at which
his train paused for bare word of
greeting.
Mr.. Hoover's main objective now
will be to set his house in order
administratively and politically for
the stormy winter ahead when the
new congress comes in with Demo-
Gratis lacking only one or two votes
of controlling both houses and alert
to turn every possible situation to
their advantage in the approaching
presidential campaign.
President Hoover, 1t is now clear,
will attempt to shape the Repubh-
can campaign into tried and tested
directions, emphasizing tariff pro-
lection, individual initiative, avoid
ance of government experiments
with doles and other forms of di-
rect depression relief, with possibly
an attempt to revise the Federal
Reserve Act to curb stock market
speculation in the future, and per-
haps some changes in the tax laws
principally aimed at abolishing the
tax on capital gains.
There will be, it is authoritatively
indicated, no flirting with Republi-
can insurgents by the White House.
Mr.. Hoover has no intention, it is
indicated, of going out to meet the
political crisis as William Howard
Taft met his. by refusing to bend
before the storm.
Mr.. Hoover has been seen by sew
eral hundred thousand persons.
counting in those congregating
around his train at brief stops. He
has taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity at a few of these stops to
fall into conversation with those
around the observation platform.
but few incidents of special inter-
est have occurred.

Fran had to go to work next morning; for no matter what hap pened rent must be paid and food must be bought.
 After the long days with Dickie, Nora would go to her attic room, stumbling with weariness, falling asleep almost as soon as she had gotten into bed
 At the end of the week when Dickie was on the highroad towArd recovery a letter came from Da- mon:
 Dead Nora:
 We are sorry you could not come to us. Father and I are going away for a change. He
 needs the rest and I feel I can
 not let him go alone. I will see you, I hope, upon my re- turn.
 Damon Van Worst
 Nora read and reread the cool words. Damon had not even said where they were going, nor for how long.
 For the first time in her life Nora had done an utterly selfless thing; she had thought first o1 other people. And it had brough! her this.
 She was cauoht fast in the rp6 brick house, in this very life of un- certainty, where there was nothing solid under her feet. Poverty mad: each one of them insecure, and she Nora, would have to be uprootec and thrown into any strange cu-- rent that might carry away her owi people.

It was later that they found Alice had disappeared. Nora went up and down the length of Dove street. Everyone seemed to know Alice Lindsey with her fair hair and fine little face, but no one had seen her By five o'clock there was no trace of her.
 Nora went out into the back yard. There she saw small, dark heap Petie Baker stood guard. licking Alice's hands, that covered her small face, swollen by crying. Nora carried her into the house.
 Dr. More stayed up all night, and Frances, desperate ravaged wom- an, took her watch beside the bed. There was nothing Nora could do; nothing anyone could do, The baby was sleeping now, under narcotic. Nora stole to the door to hear his faint irregular breathing.
 Next morning Hallie, with her forced cheerfulness, making her mother eat, seeing that Frances drank coffee, telephoning the office was the stronghold of the family.
 At noon Fran came out of Dickie's room to find Nora.
 "He's taken three spoonfuls ol milk. Three, Moral" she added. II he only lives. I'll never ask any thing again." They clasped eaci ether and Fran whispered, Pray won't you, Nora?"
 Dr. More stayed the second nigh with Dickie. The others tried t sleep, but Frances would not leav' the sick room for moment. At si' next morning Nora tiptoed in to se the baby sleeping and pr. More who had had neither time to shaw or change his clothes for two night

stood up without noticing her, and went cut into the hall. Dr. More, coming out Of his office, found her there. He held out his hand. He locked so boyish and his sensitive lips smiled at her, his eyes on her forlorn face.
 You've been brick. I thought when you first came you were just a miserable little snob. But take it back. Forgive me, will you?"
 She turned and looked ct him; the splendor of her eyes when she was angry was startling.
 q am a snob I meant to be. I'm only here because I haven't any other place to go. Now will you go away and leave ne alone3''
 She saw him go marching down the hall, his shoulders thrown back, scorn in his every step. He went into his office and closed the door. Nora turned and wepo into the old coats.

{ looking dark and gaunt. Fran had fallen asleep in her chair. Fergus More tock Nora outside the door to tell her he thought Dickie was go- ing to pull through.
 When Nora and Fran met they hugged each other convulsively without a word. For the first time Fran broke down, tears glittering down her thin cheeks.
 "I'n never ask anything more" i" Fran said with intense happiness, except to keep him." She brushed at her wet cheeks. "Ill have to go back to the office in the morning, I suppose"
 I'll be here" Nora told her.
 Fran cried, T don't know what we would have done without you!"
 In the living room Hallie was sewing with a kind of frantic haste. "Ill never laugh at Fergus More again." she said.
 She began to tell Nora about him. He was the son of country minis ter the youngest of four boys. His oldest brother had been killed in the war; one was an engineer in South America, one had gone West. Fer gus had had to work his way through college and teach for a year in order to go to medical school. He was, Hallie said, bril- liant and modest and full of stur- dy faith in himself He was bound to have a future. But perhaps, Nora thought, Hallie was biased because he had saved the baby's life. How anyone who was brilliant could hang a shingle out on Dove street and expect to have any fu- ture was one of Hallie's crazily op- timistic ideas.
 For several days the baby could not be left for a moment. Nora stayed with him while Dr. More was in and out all the time. She mar yelled at his sureness, at the skill with which he handled Dickie.

 ADDRESS BY P. E. BAUER

Memorial Day was fittingly ob- served in Douglas Saturday with a program given in the Coliseum the atre and decoration of graves, un- der the auspices of the Douglas Is- land Womens club, with Mayor L. w. Kilburn, presiding.
 Rev. Philip E. Bauer delivered the Memorial address in which he said in part: Memorial Day services are for the perpose of remembering the heroic dead, but we should re- member all who have died. It IS appropriate to remember all who have lived for the good that was in them Especially do we honor the men who have risked their lives for their country, and we should also honor the heroes of statesman |ship and science. Service given un- sefish1y is the one test; honor IS due to the living also; to the ones who are carrying on with the un- Ifinished tasks of those who died in service. The heroic army of mothers is worthy of our commem- oration for we need the integrity of the home and lastly the devo- ! tion to higher things should be honored"

RELIGION AND CRIME
Great Falls Tribune)


I He conclusion Of George R. NIurse chief
: psychologist Of the Ohio state department Of
public welfare, that religious training does not
necessarily curb criminal tendencies is not
sound. Religion, il properly understood and
taught. is the most powerful influence for good
that can operate on the human mind and if Mr.
Mursell's Investigations have led him to diff
ferent conclusion the fault lies with his investi-
cations and not with religion
No doubt the psychologist has fallen in the
same error that many others have In their APP
proach to this subject. He has condemned true
religion for the deficiencies of human practice
In its real sense, religion is not cloak that
puts on and takes off on Sunday. It is not
achieved by merely going to church occasionally
or by getting ones name OH the membership
list of some denomination.
Religion is way of life. 1t is understand
ing and acknowledge the existence of God, the
one holy and supreme force of life; of endeavor-
ing to adjust our mortal activities in harmoni-
Gus relationship to God. We know that God
is good, that He is kind, that He does not sup
port evil activity. When we know these facts
and endeavor to- put them in daily practice, it is
mo more natural for us to be criminally inclined
than it is for us to infict harm upon ourselves.
True religion, if understood and practiced
by all, would make jails, penitentiaries and
prisons unnecessary Every nation would be
prosperous and secure. There would be no more
we tried to maintain Gods standard, we have
wars; there would be no more panies But be-
cause we refuse to accept religion as a way Of
life; because we prefer to live according to hui
man standards rather than as we would live if
