Joan.
ITS right cute though at that"
answered Pat.
"Red shows up better"
81 wonder where she is getting all
those clothes. 1t looks like her
Aunt must have left her a lot Of
money"
Maybe the same thing that hap
pened some time ago"
That's an idea. I'll bet that's just
what has happened. I'd sooner not
wear any pretty clothes than to get
the money for them in that way"
Lets get her for it when she goes
in to swim. I'll tell you what we'll
do. Wen ask her where she got her
suit and she'll either tell us or else
we'll tell her that she got it the
same way as everything else. I'll bet
she won't wear it any more.
I'm game
The girls were walking down to
the edge of the water. There were
several instructors there to teach
them to swim.
who's the little girl in blue?"
asked the instructor.
"Oh, just another little shrimp.
She amt much. She can't swim and
l don't suppose she can do much of
anything" said Joan.
."I'lI bet she can. All she needs is
little companion and | can well
assure you that she could learn TO
swim in a little time. No one seems
to pay attention to her"
The eyes of Joan and Pat opened
wide.
81 wonder if he is going to take up
for her." said Joan.
"He wouldn't if he knew her
past"
"Hey, Mary, where did you get
your blue suit?"
Mary smiled wanly. 1t was the
first time the girls had spoken to her
for such long time that she didn't
know what to say.
Getting too stuck up to say any
thing are you?" We've been suppOs-
ing that you got it the same way
your father used to get it"
Mary wa stoo weak to move. She
was stunned. Why were they always
bringing up the past? She began to
weep.
Miss Rocket was coming down
the road toward the lake.
How art the pupils cOming?" she
asked one instructor.
"They seem to be getting along
quite we'll"
She moved toward Joan and Pat
as they were fussing and throwing
up pasts to Mary.
What's the matter here, girls?
What have you done to Mary?"
Nothing"
"She wouldn't he crying if you
hadn't of done something to her.
Now you girls may go right up to
the building, go straight to your
rooms and stay there until I call for
you. Perhaps I'd better accompany
you for there's no telling you might
not get there"
After reaching the building, and
steing that the girls were safely
locked in thenr room, Miss Rocket
led Mary to the Teachers Room
which was never used except on i'm
pOrtant business.

"Now, Mary, we are going to take
you home with us. Frow now on you

STORY WRITING VENTURE
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Senior Experiment In Composition

Recently in the Senior English
class Mrs. Rosa tried a rather inter-
esting experiment. One day when
the class had assembled, she read
the opening four or five paragraphs
of a story which began in cOnversa-
tiOnal style. Stopping abruptly she
instructed the members OF the class
TO go on and finish the story in
twenty-five hundred words.
The results were quite satsfac-
tory in some cases, so that with Mrs.
ROsa's permission we will reprint
several of the stories. one each

HOOVER PREPARES
BUSINESS TALKS
Discusses Plans for Econom.
ic ParIey With New Secre-
tary of Commerce.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Squirting plans for national confer
ence of business leaders at the White
House, President Hoover yesterday
turned his back upon the purely politi-
cal affairs that have occupied him for
much of the past week.
The Chief Executive called in Roy D
Chaplin, recently recruited from the au-
tomobile industry for the Secretary OF
Commerce post, for lengthy confer
ence on plans for the economic parley
aimed at coordination of the forces
of Government and business ''for united
and concerted action on a broad front
throughout the country"
Chaplin was reticent about detailed
plans for the conference, the exact date
for which will be announced by Mr.
Hoover Monday.
President Has Plan.
II can only say" Chaplin added, that
the President has very definite and
very fine plan, speaking as a business
man, and I think the business men oi
the country are going to like it,
Both before and after his conference
with the Commerce Secretary, Mr.
Hoover apparently occupied himself
with governmental and economic af-
fairs. The list of political callers was
cut to minimum, and many, including
Mrs. Dolly Gam, sister of Vice Presi-
dent Curtis, conferred with his aides.
Beginning in the early morning. the
Chief Executive called one Cabinet
member after another into conference
Secretaries Stimson and Mills reported
only routine governmental affairs were
discussed.
Bank Chain Discussed.
Secretary Hyde, upon leaving the
White House, said he had talked over
plans Tor creating chain of agricul-
tural credit banks.
A group from fuor MidWeStern States
many of them representing State Gov
ernors, have been in conference with
Hyde and members of the ReconStruc-
tion Corporation upon this subject as
well as move to spread over a five
year period repayment of seed and feed
loans due this Fall. Hyde said he told
Mr.. Hoover he believed it was too early
at this time for a full discussion of
such loan extensions.
The President had nothing to add
yesterday to his words that his recently
enunciated nine-point economic pro-
gram had progressed to a point where
national conference could be called
Of business and industrial committees
created in each Federal Reserve district.
Keynote Sounded Thursday.
The keynote of this parley was
sounded in his acceptance address when
he said he was today organizing the
private industrial and financial re-
sources of the country to cooperate ef-
fectively with the vast governmental in
strumentalities which we have in mo-
ton
Among the points to be discussed will
be the speeding of loans from the Re-
construction Corporations new $780,
100000 of capital for self -liquidating
projects, elimination of slum districts,
spreading seed and feed loans, smooth
ing the path Of agricultural commodi-
ties into consumption, easing general
credit facilities. and shortening work
hours in industry to speed employment.

followers, numbering nearly 14.00o,o 600
Germans, who definitely expected him
TO be chancellor tonight. He also faced
a challenge of the radical wing to aban-
don the legality to which he had pledged
himself and to seek power by extra
legal means.
All indications were that In event OF
still another Reichstag or other election
he could not win over 81 per cent oi
the " .ers. In the opinion of many po-
litical observers he therefore was in a
blind alley. emergence from which
would be difficult.
Regret Hitler's Course.
Government spokesmen informed the
press that they regretted Hitler's re-
fusal to play the game with other Ma
tional" forces.
Chancellor Won Papen, 1t was stated
Opened his arms wide to enable the
leaders of the National Socialists to CO.
operate actively and positively in the
national reconstruction"
The cabinet said 1t regretted this the
more as it did everything possible foi
the National Socialists, including disso-
luton Of the Reichstag, raising the bar
on the storm troops and the National
Socialist uniforms, and affording the
National Socialists the possibility OF US
ing the government radio facilities tc
broadcast their ideas.
The government had hoped to be re-
warded by Hitler's sharing the re-
sponsibility for governing Germany. II
now proposes to do its work and de-
eide later upon mature reflection what
further consequences TO draw from to-
days unprecedented situation.
Third Crisis Encouptered.
It was the third time in five months
| that President Won Hindenburg had
attempted to settle an issue involving
the future of 100000 Germans.
On March 13 he asked Germany's
electorate whether 1t desired to con-
tinue with infinite patience to win back
! its place in the sun under the lead
| ership Of its first citizen in war ano
peace, or whether it preferred to EN-.
bark on what he considered the un'
certainties of an untried Fascist re.
gine led by an able mass organizer
| whose capacity for governing, however
was to him an unknown quantity.
The German peoples answer. already

denburg, was invoked a second time ir
the runof election on April 10, anc
again the Presidents popularity blocked
| Hitler's ambition.
Dramatic as the two presidential
elections were. their personal drama wa
overshadowed by the third showdown
today.
Jews Present Record.
The Association Of German Jewisl
Citizens placed before President Vol
Hindenburg today an exhaustive recort
of what they said were anti-Semiti
threats and insults by the National So
cialists from the platform and press
together with acts of terrorism commit
ted upon Jews.
The President replied that he deepl.
regretted and strongly disapproved Q

He had heard no reports of casual
ties there.
Freeport merchants nailed boards
over plate glass windows. About $50
automobiles loaded with residents, va
cationlsts and campers had left, a
locomotive was standing by to take
others out of the danger zone should
developments warrant, and all water
craft was being moved up into the
Brazos River as far as possible.
Concern was centered, in some meas
ure, upon the camp of the 38th Divi-
sion, Texas National Guard, at Pala-
clos, where 1000 officers and men were
encamped in their annual training
period. Palacios is roughly midway be-
tween Seadrift and Freeport.
Jack Barnett, Palacios banker, re-
ported, however, neither officers nor
men felt alarm.
Freeport is 70 miles southwest of
Houston and Seadrift about 125 miles
distant, in roughly the same direction.
Galveston is some so miles almost di-
rectly south of Houston.
Here, the barometer was continuing
to fall early tonight.
At Angleton, inland about 20 miles
from the Gulf of Mexico and between
Freeport and Galveston, the Brazoria
County court house was reported
crowded with refugees, mainly from
Freeport.
James Radford, innkeeper, speaking
over long distance telephone, nearly was
blown from the telephone by gust of
wind while he tried to talk.

said, "but so far I don't think any of
