NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Monday was sale day at Bar
clay's. Monday was the day the
basement invariably reached It's
peak for the whole week. The girls
dreaded Mondays. Most of them on
Sunday critically examined the
store advertisements to determine
which counters were to- be mum
dated. That particular Monday
Ellen and Jenny Elkins, her coun-
ter mate, were the victims. Their
counter drew large and vocifer-
GUS proportion Of the crowd. Nine
teen-cent cretonne, hundreds Of
bolts, apparently were passionately
desired by every woman In New
York.
Ellen as she mechanically cut
lengths Of gay colored material and
tossed them to the wrapper, as she
tried vainly to keep some order
among the bolts on the counter, as
she again and again assured cross
and weary shoppers that any one Of
the patterns were precisely what
was wanted for summer draperies,
had not q minute to think OF her.
self or of Larry. She had dreamed
OF him the night before. No dream
had chance Of survival at Bar
clay's on Monday morning.
Toward IL Ellen began TO notice
that Jenny Elkins 81 little chatter
box of 10, was strangely silent. Or
dlnarily nothing could stop Jenny's
active tongue. She was always
talking and giggling between sales
or during them, calmly oblivious OF
the fury of her customers. Ellen
missed her cheerful chatter and
her breathless condolences OF what
the boy friend" had said or done
the night before.
During q temporary luli. she ven.
turod to move TO Jenny's end OF the
counter to ask how she had spent
the weekend.
The other girl continued making
out her sales slip. Since Jenny did
not speak, Ellen decided that she
had not heard the question. She re-
peated 1t. Jenny raised q flushed
face.
"Doing nothing much" she an
swered coolly.
II haven't done anything to Of
fend you, have II" Ellen asked In
surprise.
"Of course not Jenny responded
airf1y.
She tore off the sales slip, handed
the carbon to her customer and af-
fably urged the perspiring woman
to come again to Barclays. She
was so affable that the customer
looked bit startled az she hurried
away. She was less startled than

DEVIL VINES

OEbAA VINES n
There Is q tropical vine called
the devil vine. It Is q graceful
thing with beautiful and unusual
flower.
The reason for the unfiattering
name of the southern beauty Is
this: 1t asserts itself wherever It
happens to be growing, and twists
and twines around other vegeta-
ton until It smothers out life.
People who have gardens weed out
this usuper wherever 1t puts In
an appearance, because II refuses
to allow more generous flowers to
surpass 1t.
Flowers are wonderfully like
people and in observing this deter
mined but delicate-looking bit OF
fora ! found its counterpart In
children.
There Is a type of child who re-
sembles this devil vine. Quite un-
consciously he. or she, subjugates
all other children with whom he
associates by sheer force of per-
sonality and will.
So Leaders Are Made
1t is not uncomplimentary TO
him-or such stuff are great men
and women made. They are born
leaders and II seems that humani-
ty needs people who are leaders.
But the mature leader or mature
people is a different matter from
the self-imposed and often selfish
child who usurps other children's
rights and personalities.
/ know of one family where the
second child, a girl, happened TO
be born with all the qualities OF
| leadership. She was brilliant,
| likeable. and determined.
In few years her older brother
and her younger sister were at
stage when their own develop
ment had ceased. They bowed to
her rule. began to think and. act
as she acted, patterned everything
they did after her. OF course In
the process they lost their own
self confidence and had to refer
to her for advice constantly. BY
the time she was grown this
brother and other sister were en-
tirely dependent on her. Her par.
| ents, too, had become spiritually
atrophied and confronted to the
stronger will of their child.
Sometimes this Is not a bad
thing, II the other members of the
family are real weaklings. But too
often II Is a process that destroys
wonderful natures. It takes adj
vantage of generosity usually and
turns every kind impulse to Its
own ends.

FIGURES THAT
 TELL THE STORY

Depositors in the Sanditz X Traurig bank stand chance of receiving almost 100 cents on the dollar on their accounts according to an analysis of the appraisal that vas filed to-day in superior court. The appraisal lists the assets at s155,937. The total deposits in the bank, including Christmas club &C., counts are $15S,127.01.
 The appraisal was filed by At torney Frank T. Healey and Edwin C.. Northrop, the latter an official of the Dime Savings bank. both of whom were appointed appraisers Tn the superior court.
 Among the assets of the bank Is included an item, Certificate of deposit in the Merchants Trust Co.,. That item is appraised at S32,000, although the inventory lists 1t as $40,000. Under recent supreme court decision certificates of deposit are entitled to full value so that if the $32,000 in the Mer- chants Trust is to be allowed as S4e,000, it would bring the ap- pra,sal up to $163,937.71, or ap- proximately $5,000 more than the total deposits, assuring 100 cents m the dollar.

Washington, April 27.-UP)- Passage of the Patman $2,000.- 000,000 soldiers bonus bill would impair public and private credit, prolong the depression and mean payment of dishonest dollars" to the veteran, Secretary of Treasury Mills charged to-day in a state ment.
 He appeared before the house ways and means committee for the administration in opposition to the bill, which provides for immediate payment of adjusted service certi- ficates through issuance of $2.- 000,000,000 in new currency.
 Hse said proponents of the presse to work printing dishonest dollars and that deliberately to adopt this insidious and essential dishonest device would to my mind be worse than an act of financial bankruptcy. It would constitute moral bankruptcy"
 Because the certificates do not mature until 1945, the treasury secretary charged the bill 'is de- signed to pay an obligation not due"
 He denied there was a currency shortage, said such imitation as proposed in the Patman plan would be fatal to the treasury budgets" and held that the way to put credit to work was by maintaining public confidence.
 Mills, himself a World war vet eran. said he believed there was no evidence to indicate the vet erans as class are suffering more than any group of individuals in the country"

AL CAPONE WILL NOT BE GIVEN
 ANY RELEASE
Govt Has No Intention of Freeing Him to Let Him Search for Lindbergh Baby - No Real Clues as Yet
(Copyright. 1882. by United Press)

Copyright. 1882. by United Press)
 Washington, April 2T.-UP)- The government has no intention of letting Al Capone out of jail to join in the search for the kid naped child of Colonel and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh, the United Press was authoritatively advised today.
 There are ways in which Capone could be, released. One is by ac- ton of the Chicago courts, admit ting him to bail and the other by presidential pardon.
 Ordinary procedure to obtain ac- tion by the courts would be for the attorney-general or his repre- sentative to appear before the court and ask his release. The United Press has been informed by the highest authority that the de- partment of justice contemplates no such action.
 No effort to obtain a pardon for Capone has been made but should it be made it most probably would fall upon deaf ears. President Hoover is described by persons undoubtedly we'll qualified to speak, as thoroughly in sympathy with the intention of the depart- ment of justice to keep Capone in jail and as not willing to give more than perfunctory consideration to any pardon plea.
 The department of justice this week filed with the supreme court a brief violently opposing Capone's appeal for a review of his case.

 Smiths tremendous strength sur. prised even his staunchest support CTS. The general opinion had beer that Smith would win majority of the delegates in this state which he carried in the presiden' tial election of 1928. .asgEew thought however, that he would make clean sweep.
 Smith carried every one of the 37 cities which had reported early today, most of them by enormous margins. ranging as high as 10 to 1. In Boston, traditional Curley territory, the ratio was almost ? to 1 in Smiths favor.
