tension in the quiet room snapped. Ashwood's laugh was almost gay as he showed the automatic into its armpit holster. Yet there was a cutting edge to his laughter which made Stevens and Emory glance sharply at him. The na- tural color had flowed back into his cheeks but there was an odd twist to his lips which belied the merry laughter.
 My congratulations" He bow ed. How careless of me not to have noted the budding romance. And how tactful of me to have supplied the minister" It occurred to Jerry that Ashwood was spar ring for time, readjusting his mind to the altered circumstances. I'll confess that it has taken me quite by surprise. Miss Went-pardon, Mrs. Calhoun, would it quite shat ter your young heart to be forced to leave your bridegroom tomor- row?"
 Tt would," snapped Nancy.
 Except for slightly heightened color on her lovely cheeks, Nancy might have been a conventional bride accepting her first congrat- ulations. Jerry, close by her side, stared truculently at Ashwood, ready to precipitate immediate hos tilities if the cripple turned out to be a poor loser. Emory looked at Nancy, winked openly at Jerry, then stepped into the breach. Turn ing to Ashwood. he suggested im- pudently:

Living in the Future.
(Cininnati Enquirer.)

In the July Hampers, Roy Helton defends an unusually interesting thesis namely, that the major fault of American life is that we live too largely in the future, that have sold ourselves out to an uncertain tomorrow and are suffering in conse- quence. MT. Helton submits impressive mass of evidence to prove his point
 Vast fortunes dedicated to perpetual founda- tions, he observes with knowledge of the con- ditions in the future Elaborate provisions are made to combat evils which more than likely will not exist in another of years. Hoping for wealth in distant future, have speculated with our daily bread, instead of investing soundly for current income.
 By rigid educational systems we have tried to solve chdren's problems long before We know what those problems will be. Worse, we have come to worship futures embodied in our children and by living solely for them have emptied our lives of any sophisticated adult culture Thereby we have robbed the same children of the mature heritage they ought to be able to look forward to-
 Perhaps the most conspicuous example of this fallacious effort to live in tomorrow is the enormous massing of wealth in the facilities for greater production instead of using that wealth for current consumption. This worship of an ever more glorious future has led to the expansion of the of production to such a point that consumption has been inadequate The result is apparent all around us in idle factories and hungry families
 There is way to anticipate the flow of time any more than to retard it. Looking forward in hope, frontier people learned to do in order sold out capacity for enjoyment and unbalanced our economic mechanism. Happily there is a cure for this alment It is to live each day for the fullest enjoyment of it. The least do for our children is to consider them able to solve their own problems when those problems arise.

 Dear, dear, Banquo at the feast! !! Why be so pessimistic when we were all so merry?" Ashwood sighed, then cast sardonic glance at Jerry and Nancy. Why so pensive, bride and bridegroom? You are not, by chance, regretting your rashness already?"
 Jerry faced him, his eyes glint- ing.

FOR TRACKAGE

ANNAPOLIS, July 23.-Sev-
eral plans which threaten the
"air.tight defense" of the city
council to keep trains Of the
Washington, Baltimore & An.
napoliS Electric Railroad from
running on the city streets were
advanced at a meeting of repre-
sentatives of five civic organiza-
tions with officials of the rail
road yesterday.
George Weems Williams, re-
ceiver for the company, said that
condemnation proceedings to ac-
quire right to use city streets
could be instituted through the
Federal Court.
Under this arrangement the
jury would be selected from resi-
dents of the State to set a price
on the property acquired.
This would Illustrate Mayor
Walter E. Quenstedt'S plan ad
vanced at the last meeting of the
council. He assumed that any
condemnation proceedings would
have to start in the local circuit
court.

Sidelights On Veterans

Marks after the order for evac-
uation of all public grounds
had been issued.
A standard Fahrenheit ther-
mometer placed in a first.aid
tent at Camp Marks yesterday
showed temperature of 101 at
3 o'clock.
"Slim" Ferris and "Chick"
Lambdon, the first aid men,
took readings from the ther-
mometer at 9 a. m. showing a
mark of 88. It climbed until
afternoon.
When the thermometer was
placed on a tent pole in the
sun just after 3 o'clock, the
mercury shot up to 116.
The 116 mark is a fair
indication of the heat on the
hard packed ground of the
flats in early afternoon that
makes all the campers seek
shade. Sunburn lotions are
used up rapidly by the first aid
stations.
A District health officer who
noted the high temperatures
said the campers were perforce
following the best medical ad-
vice in one respect, not to over
eat in hot weather. He be-
lieved if they had too much
food they would be even worse
off than they are now with not
enough.

Black, a member of the House

Despite the large number Of

large force of Federal prohibition

Thousands of North Carolina
people, who formerly used elec-

BRADY CONDUCT
Of CASES IS
ISSUE
Allegations Already Are Sub
stantiated, Says Peti-
tioning Panel

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, July 23.
A special investigation of the
conduct of affairs of the
States attorneys office has
been asked by the Anne Arun-
del county grand jury, it was
revealed today.
The grand jury has requested
that the court recommend an at
torney to probe into certain cases
that States Attorney A. Theodore
Brady had handled. The court
will make recommendation with
in few days.
Efficiency at Issue
The grand jury has been in
vestigating graft conditions in
the county, although there is no
intimation that the States at
torney will be involved in the
bribery allegations. The inveSti-
cation is to be concerned mostly
with the efficiency of the office.
The grand jury states that
certain testimony has come be-
fore it that neceSsitates inveStiga-
ton, although the allegations are
entirely substantiated.
Seeks JudgeShip
Brady recently asked that
Judge Robert Moss, of the cir
cult court, remove himself from
the bench during the trial of one
of the cases growing out of the
graft Investigations.
Brady is one of the three out
standing candidates, with the
backing of the Democratic or
ganization, to succeed Judge Moss
on the bench when the judge
retires in December.

c. v. j. POLICY
OUTLINED

DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, presi-
dent Of George Washington Uni
versity, today denied reports to
the effect that changes in per-
Sonnel during the coming year
were due to disagreements on the
matter of obtaining aid from the
Rockefeller Foundation.
There will be about 10 changes
in the faculty list for the coming
year as compared with last year,
he said. but these were due to
limitation of clinical men who
were on an unpaid basis. to en-
ployment of only full time labora-
tory men. and in few instances
to differences of opinion on mat
terS of administration or other
matters.
He said the schools policy has
not been changed since it was
originally laid down some years
ago by former Dean William c.
Borden, but that the number Of
departments was increased this
year from 9 to 18, and that the
budget was increased about one
third.
The changes represented a
growth in the school rather than
new policies, he said.
DR.. George Joseph Brilmyer,
whose name is omitted from the
new catalogue. indicated today
that that was due to inadventence.
DR.. Marvin said that DR.. E. j.
Titus had submitted a resignation
but later had withdrawn it.
