VICE PRESIDENT
To RUN AGAIN,
FRIENDS SAY
Long-Waited Announcement
on Plans for Campaign
Expected Monday

The long-awaited announce
ment by Vice President Curtis
as to whether he will again
seek the vice presidency or run
for his old Senate seat prob
ably will be issued on Monday.
Curtis has told close friends
among Republican Senators he
Y has abandoned the senatorial idea
and will seek denomination on the
national ticket.
Conferred With Leaders
The Vice President has just re-
turned to the CAPITAL from a
Western trip during which he
stopped off in Kansas, his home
State, for a final conference with
State Republican leaders. They
are known to have urged him 10
run for the vice presidency
According to Republican Sen
ators with whom he has discussed
the matter. Mr.. Curtis said he
was told by his Kansas advisers
that his turning to the senatorial
contest would Immediately be
seized upon by political enemies
of the Administration as evidence
he considered President Hoover
doomed to defeat in 1882.
They therefore urged him, 1t
was said, to declare himself a
candidate for denomination as
Vice President and to stand by
the President.
Criticized Farm Board
The question whether Curtis
would seek the Vice Presidency
again has been to the fore in
Republican circles since it became
known, early last summer, that
he was undecided as to his future
political course.
In September he returned to
Kansas for the avowed purpose
Of canvassing the State political
situation. While there he vigor-
ously criticized the Federal Farm
Board on its policy of disposing
of its large stabilization wheat
holdings. He demanded that the
board take the grain off the mar
ket and hold it in storage until
this years crop had been sold.
Following his return to Washing
ton from his visit. it was reported
the Vice President had found
widespread dissatisfaction with
the Administration in Kansas and
that State Republican leaders had
been pessimistic over his chances
in a Senatorial race.

Thoar, too, had been much interested in the
footprints -Four of them were low country
men from Pheli,' he said to Tarzan, and the
other was woman from Zoram, my country"
The ape-man was dumbfoUnded. How do you
know?" he asked Thoar explained that the
various tracks were made by sandals fashioned
from the skins of several different beasts and
that one in particular had notches in it. This
was the mark of Thoars own people ~You
told me YOU were from Zoran," said the ape
man. Are We near that country?"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-11-04

THAT is true" replied Thoar after mo-
ment's thought, "but the women of my tribe
do not care to mate with men of other tribes
Jana would rather die than mate outside the
Mountains of the Thipdars. Many times she
has said So" MY friend would not have taken
her by force said Tarzan. When we find
them I think you will see that if she has gone
with him she did so of her own free will"
Thoar was not convinced, however. I'VE shall
see" he replied, but if he has taken Jana
against her wishes, he must die"

want to stick around! He won't
run away.
ION the contrary, we won't be
able to shake him. If he acts on
his own initiative, he'll have the
advantage of us, surprise us. But
if he acts when we choose, we'll be
ready for him. Ever hear of STRAIT

He took small dog-eared diction-
ary from his pocket and read:
"Stratagem; naneuver designed
to deceive or outwit an enemy in
war; hence, any device for obtain
ing advantage"

something endearing about his very

flared at him. Not even a dumb Dora like Irene would stand for your doing this!'
 "Y' gotta give a guy a chance Tommy mumbled.
 'All right, I'll give you chance Beryl exclaimed. "I think l know way to get Irene back for you, but I won't do it unless you prom ise not to repeat this nights per formance, and go right out and look for job. By the way" she added guilfully. "where'd you get it?"
 "Thash none of your business" Tommy told her.
 Beryl slid down off the rock. The water was ankle deep. Come on" she said, "before we have to swim for it."
 q can swim," Tommy boasted.
 Sure. but come on anyway. You've got to go home and do lot of things to yourself before you'll look human again."
 Tommy submitted to being guided ashore. Then Beryl dropped his arm and walked along with him in silence. When they came to where their paths divided she said imploringly: You will behave now, won't you Tommy? Don't quarrel with your uncle. You can't afford to if you're serious about wanting Irene. You can leave his house as soon as you get strengthened out"
 Tommy was much soberer now. How are you going to fix it with Irene?" he asked doubtfully.
 Never you mind.' Beryl re- turned. "If you're willing to have her on any terms it's too bad, but it's your funeral"
 You're always worrying about my funeral" Tommy remarked, but he grinned faintly and Beryl could have cried with relief. It was the

first grin of any kind that she had seen on his face for such a long while.
 "I'll telephone you as son as have news" she said and turned swiftly away.
 At home she marched defiantly into the kitchen to see if Irene were there. She found her mother clearing away the breakfast dishes. MT Everett could go to the store later now that Beryl was paying young man to assist him.
 "Where's Irene?" Bery1 demand ed. "Still in bed ?"
 Well" her mother said, "shs came in late, you know"
 There was a note of asperity in Mrs Everett's voice and Berys thought it wiser to go in search of Irene than to stay and talk with her. She did not feel like having a vocal skirmish with her mother, and she could guess that Irene had complained of her unsisterly con- duct, the night before.
 "I've something to say to you. young lady, her mother stopped Beryl at the door. The girl faced around.
 Mrs Everett was too busy to fence. Don't you go interfering in Irene's affairs again." she said sternly. "She has a right to marry anyone she wants to if her father and I are wiling"
 A sarcastic smile curled Beryrs lips. "Is she afraid of rne?" she asked.
 "Who can blame her if she is?" her mother challenged. You've made trouble enough for her. She'd have been married to Tommy Will son now if you'd minded your own business"
 "And aren't you glad she isn't?" Beryl returned with deplorable dis respect. "See what she's caught now. Perhaps If I break this up shell get the Prince of Wales
 Don't try to be 50 smart. Just you let Ireen alone.'
 "What's she afraid of-that I'll tell Prentiss she was engaged to Tommy?"
 Mrs Everett did not answer di- rectly. but Beryl could see by her mothers expression that she had hit the nail on the head.
 "I thought she'd be afraid of that!" she exulted. ''I'll bet she never told Prentiss word about Tommy. We'll. Prentiss wouldn't like a cheater.''
 "It's her own business" Mrs Everett declared, "and you keep
 She was interrupted by the ring ing of the front door bell. "Go and see who that is," she ordered Beryl.
 
 Beryl opened the door to a mes senger boy who was whistling one of the songs she made popular on the radio.
 "Not for you, Miss velvetan." he said as he handed her yellow envelope. But you can sign. guess the company'll accept your signature.
