 She breathed a great sigh of relief
 as she joined a party of friends
 who had just come in.
 I A nasty, dangerous girl. that's what she was, he decided: he hoped deyoutedly she would not make it [ her business to talk to every enc as she had just done to him. jOf course he had always known that John was in love with Sondra but well, if she didn't wish to marry him and preferred another fellow, it couldn't be helped. Cass liked Sondra, and was sorry for her-she hadn't had much of a life. There wouldn't be any harm in warming John anyway; if Son. .dra was happy with Mark Merri- sman it was no use taking chances ythat might lead to the destruction of that happiness. It was all very rerplexing; this marriage business seemed to be the sort of thing Of which wise men steered clear. It would have added greatly 70 Bbis perplexity could he have seen sondra at that moment. She was : eitting beside Mark, laughing and ftalking as if she had not a care m the world. Her eyes were inright--a little too bright a care ful observer might have thought, 1 and one of her hands held his.

 She got up suddenly and cross ing the room, she laid both hands on her sisters shoulders. Look at me-" she said.
 Sondra raised her eyes slowly.
 And some day you'll run away -as I did" Flora said. Only un- like me, you'll have someone to run to-someone who won't send you away"
 Sondra's lips qulvered Into a smile.

 "Yes' Flora LOOK off her hat, and tossed it aside. I'm sick of poverty and independence she said in a hard voice. Wait till you've tried it for a month or two with Mark, and you'll hate it as i much as I do. We're not meant to be the wives of poor men, Son. dra. Patrick was right"
 Sondra was staring at her with wide eyes; she had thought a great deal about her sister lately -thught of her with admiration and now--after all she was going back to Ben.
 You needn't stare like that, " Flora said calmly. You ought to be glad It will make things bet ter for you. I suppose you haven't any money, as you're living in this awful place. Sondra, why in heavens name did y0a marry Mark Merriman?' T don't know" You're not going to tell me you care for him?"

 And Ben?" Sondra asked blank ly.
 T wrote to him at his bankers and they sent it on to him-he's still away. He sent me cable, and he's on his way home" "He wants you back?" Flora's lip curled. T believe he'd take me if I'd committed ev- cry sin in the Bible"

 For a moment a look of paia crossed Flora's face, then she laughed again. That's all over. He wouldn't have me. do not believe in love any more Mon ey is. the only thing worth having in life. I've come to that con- clusion."

 Sondra said defiantly. When Mark is well again, John is going to find him another job. Of course fle can't ever go back to the Con- go"
 John is going to find him a job? call that very noble of him." Flora said cynically.

De Priest Said
Forteseue Defense for Crime.

Cecil e. Newman

CONGRESSMAN Oscar De Priest let
fall thought in Kansas speech sew.
eraI days ago that is worth repeating
and comment. He said that Negro Re
publicans and others who blame Pre-
sident Hoover for failure to recognize
outstanding Negro political workers
with appointments should place the
blame on senators and national COM
mitteemen, who actually control the
patronage in their states.
His statement is perhaps illuminate
ing to many colored people who are
still tryos in the matter of politics
but it is not to others who recognize
the workings of organization politics.
Granting that the De Priest theory
has some merit and truth, it must not
be- forgotten that few senators or ma
tional committeeman suggest ap-
pointments that they think might not
be acceptable to the chief executive.
Minnesotans will remember that Sen
ator Thomas Schall suggested the ap-
pointment of Ernest Michel to U.
S.. District judgship but they will al
SO . remember that the appointment
was. not acceptable to the president.
From time to time it might be ad.
visable for Negroes in Minnesota and
other sections of the country to re.
mind the senators and committeeman
that they are part of the voting popu-
lation and party deserve some consid-

bilfty that no person or organization

ment from him. Senator Henrik

DRY LAW STILL
STANDS, EDICT
TO U. S. AGENTS
Wet Swing Doesn't Worry
Woodcock; Spurs On
His Forces.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Pro-
hibition Director Amos w. w
woodcock's answer to the tremend-
Gus anti-prohibition swing in both
major parties is to spur his forces
to still stricter enforcement of the
dry laws.
Whatever the two major political
parties decide with reference to pro-
hibition is of little consequence to
us" Woodcock said. There is no
possibility that we will slacken our
efforts
The Republican party has de-
clared for submitting repeal pro-
posal to the states.
The Democratic convention will
take similar action, or go still far
ther and urge repeal,
But until the federal prohibition
law actually is repealed, Woodcock
DEGREES, it must be enforced unre-
lentingly.
Wet leaders in congress say the
eighteenth amendment can not be
modified or repealed for at least
two years even if the voters over
whelmingly favor a change.
Several weeks ago Woodcock sent
the following message to all mem
bers of his force:
THE current discussions about
national prohibition, which are be-
! coming intense as the political con-
