 An hour of this and the car had reached the outlands. Palms and thickly interlaced jungles skirted the highway. Here and there they crossed tiny bridge beside which rose a stile to be used by foot pas sengers when the water was high. And then they reached San Fer nando, reeking with oil Its oily streets, lined with tiny houses from which dark faces peered, glis- tened in the sun.

 How foolish she had been to make the trip! This was San Fer nando, but if Bud had been there, or even were there, now, she could hardly discover him.

 She agreed and they drove around curve of thick bushes dotted with orchids. The Paradise Hotel rose before them, a green and white fairy cottage on the side of a precipitous rise. White steps rose from the road to the door.

 "Tea, Madame?" he queried. He waved her toward a seat on the veranda, but not before Mona had seen within.

JACK MAKES AN
 UNEXPECTED VISIT

UNEXPECTED VISIT
 As Sue began to turn the knob of the safe, recalling the combina- tion, she had time to wonder what boldness had made Burns dare to come to the office. He was stalk ing everything on a chance of not being caught. She told herself that he must be involved rather desper- ately, in some situation which de- manded this iowledge, something which carried a risk greater than the one re was running here. 9th erwise he would have depended more on his henchmen.
 She turned the dial to three. Now to two. On to eight. Someone was at the outer door. It was locked. Burns had moved the catch with skilful fingers. But 1t was opening anyway. Opening rapidly.
 Only a few people had keys to it. One of them must have come back. Judge Thornton? Curtiss ? Sue turned her head slowly. The door opened wide and she did.
 "Jack!' she said the word trem- ulously, almost unbelieving. Then more joyfully. "Jock!"
 "Well, well, walking in on our little party" Burns sarcastic tones cut the thick air.
 Ready to cut the cake?" Jack asked. lightly enough. Sue noticed that Burns gave Prichard a know ing glance. She saw the younger man start to hove towrad Jack, with a sinking motion. But she wasn't afraid. The police were so close. But maybe they might delay too long. All of a sudden she let out a cry. Shrill. Piercing.
 There were blue-coated figures in the roo mat once. The two in- vaders tried to escape but cool steel guns were leveled at them. Every thing was confused, chaotic. Sue knew only that Jack had reached her in a swift. long stride.
 That he was holding her close. Murmurings comfortable thing against her hair.
 Then the two men were taken away.
 One officer, the physician. Ruth Burke, Sally and Sarah were there. Ruth Burke could talk now.
 Late this afternoon the other girl came-and some man was with her. They sat down to wait for Jack Thornton. They said he was coming and they were to meet him. That's all know. I was getting sleepy-dreadfully sleepy. think they threw something into the office. They stayed by the win dow. I could hardly keep my eyes open.
 "When I wakened was in that place" She nodded he rhead to- ward the paneled closet. Then everything was black again."
 "But your hat?" Sue asked Jack suddenly. "I found it nsthe other wardrobe. Then I knew-I was sure. you were held somewhere
 My hat?" Jack crossed the floor to the table. and picked up the hat at which Sue was looking. He whistled softly. T lost it a year ago! It's just like the one :! was wearing today" He compared the two. Exactly! I always won dered where it had gone"
 "Circumstantial evidence Sue said r1efully, "but it gave me a terrible half hour.''
 Sally's voice interrupted. twill will Hal be locked up in jail so he can't come after me any more" Her voice. her eyes. her whole manner, begged them to say yes.

 softest of angora touches is decidedly
 alluring.
 But it is simple, too. The skirt is fitted, the sleeves are long and tight, and the touch of white at
 the neck
 adds chic. It is worn with a black beret that cocks itself audaciously over one eye.

with police at their departure, be-
tween 80 and 100 men left Los An

hunger march" yesterday.
Neither the title hunger" nor
march" seemed appropriate. Tho
group ate heartily and stuffed
sandwiches in pockets at a meeting
in San Pedro, and began their
march riding in trucks and small
automobiles.
The days program began at 10
a. m. when some 200 men and
women, said to have been Com
munists, assembled. They had a
police permit to march, but had
been forbidden to flaunt radical
banners or to make Communistic
speeches.
When they began speaking and
waving banners, a police squad of
IS officers attacked with night
sticks. The battle waged for sew
eral minutes until speakers ceased
and banners came down. No one
was arrested.

SWING DECLARES
HOOVER PROGRAM
MERITS SUPPORT

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4. U.P -
Throwing his support behind Pres
ident Hoovers economic relief pro-
gram. Congressman Phil D. Swing
of California today declared h e
"one remedy for present conditions
is coordination OF public work pro-
iects OF the national government
with the state, county and city to
relieve unemployment.
He said such q program would
relieve many of the 100000 un-
employed, the 100000 part time
employed and their 100000 de-
pendents which have caused losses
to the American people through de-
preston OF fifty million dollars
more than the cost OF the World
war.
The only antidote for unem-
ployment is employment" Rep.
Swing said, and I Fundamentally
concur with the President that eX-
pansion OF public works and con-
struction of utilities is necessary"
He made these statements while
speaking before the Young Mems Re-
publican club AZ the Biltmore hotel
here today.
Should the problem be dealt
with locally it would threaten our
entire economic, social and political
institutions, he declared.
In this figh. against present
instability Of the country we should
fight with as much spirit and de-
termination as we would another
World war.
ANY local community trying to
solve the problem alone would be
penaliZed for its generosity and
good motives by the influx of un-
employed from less favored places"
the congressman said. IF the
government has work which 1t
must do within the next five years
then why not do it now when It
will produce the greatest beneficial
results? I am unable to see how
the fact that there is not ready
cash in the treasury is sufficient
reason to abandon the Presidents
public works program. The fact
that a bond issue would be neces-
sary should not deter it"
Representative Swing criticized
the Presidents committee on un-
employed relief for its stand op-
posing President Hoover that re-
lief is a local problem and should
be handled by local charities.

BILL PROPOSES
HUGE PROGRAM
FOR new SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. U.P0 -
Construction of 100 new warships
over 10 years at cost of $6l6, ,000,-
900 was proposed In a bill laid be-
fore congress today by Chairman
Vinson of the house naval affairs
committee.
The building program would be
entirely one of replacement, Vinson
said, and at the end of 10 years
the United States navy would have
fewer vessels than at present. His
program calls for construction of
three aircraft carriers, nine six-inch
gun cruisers, % submarines and IS
destrOyerS.
The Vinson bill is regarded as a
compromise between the views of
the extreme "big navy" group which
has been demanding a billion dol
lar appropriation, and the more
moderate elements supporting Pres
ident Hoover'S effort to limit naval
expenditures as much as possible.
Immediate appropriation Of Sl8,-
100000 is asked. Over the next 10
years annual sums ranging from
$36, 100000 to s9OOOO,oOo would be
authorized.

FREIGHT RATE
INCREASES Are
NOW EFFECTIVE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. UP -
Emergency freight rate increases,
expected to net the railroads over
$100000,000 q year, became effect
i've last midnight.
The increases are in the form of
temporary surcharges on certain
commodity shipments, author ize d
for the purpose Of preventing rail-
roads from defaulting fixed pay
ments on their indebtedness. Un-
less renewed by q second act of
Interstate Commerce commission,
they expire March 81, 1888.
When last summer the railroads
first applied to the commission for
emergency relief, they asked hor-
izontal Is per cent increase on all
freight rates. After months of con-
sideration, the commission denied
the petition but authorized commod-
ity rate increases on condition the
roads agree upon plan to use the
money in the interest of roads about
TO default. The commissions idea
was that the surcharge collections
be pooled, but the roads objected
and offered the substitute loan plan
which became effective last mid
night,
According to the loan plan, the
extra collections will go to the new
ly formed railroad credit corpor-
alton for the purchase of stock, and
will be lent to the weaker lines to
be used only for protection of their
credit. The loans will be for a
maximum period of two years. With
provisions for renewal for like
term.
