would get back to safety and get Ralph
back.
She longed to step outside and talk
with Curt, a few last words; but she
was afraid to, afraid he would cut her
cold as he had been doing for the last
four days. She was utterly bewildered
by his attitude, his icy exaggerated po-
liteneSs, his sudden and complete
change toward her. Something had
happened. that night of his return.
She could not fathom the cause Of
his change. It couldn't be that he
knew anything about her rendezvous
with lie Noir; she herself had seen
him leaning against the rocks asleep,
and Paul had been in his tent both
before and after she went. And 1t
couldn't be that Ralph had told him
about her trip. Ralph protested ear

hint nor had Curt questioned him.

stepped over to the tent door. Curt was
almost done with the clips. In a
minute or two he'd go up and join
Paul, and she wouldn't get to see him
again alone.
For a few moments she wavered, torn
between her pride and the promptings
Of her heart. It might be that she
had said or done something which
had offended him and which she could
smooth out. When she thought Of
his pleading-"Can't I hope you do
care-a little bit. sweetheart" it
seemed impossible that he could care
nothing at all now. Maybe she had

BRANCH IS OPENED
BY INDIAN GROUP
Association Holds Session Simul-
taneously With Tribal Arts
Exhibit at Corcoran Gallery.

Simultaneous opening Of a Capital
branch of the National Association on
indian Affairs at the Exhibition Of
Indian Tribal Arts was celebrated at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art yesterday.
Oliver La Fargo, writer and presi-
dent of the Indian Affairs Association,
delivered an address, in which he de-
clared that due to the stupidity and
blunders of the Government" in the
past the American Indian has not been
successful in making a satisfactory ad-
justment between his valuable nom
material civilization and the me-
chanical one of today.
He complimented the present admin
istration, however, when he added it
has brought the possibility Of a change
for the better" AS examples of the
beneficial work being carried on, La
Fargo cited the extension of public
health nursing among the Pueblos of
New Mexico by the association and the
cooperation with the Government in
experiments in day school nursing
among the Navajos.
Revival of the arts and crafts Is
building up the broken down morale
among many of the tribes, notably the
Pueblos of San Ildefonso and the
Picuris, La Fargo said.

plan teachers in the schools will
be trained in observing the con-
duct and mental reactions Of the
pupils, not only under classroom
discipline, but in their social re-
lations with other students, and
in their conduct outside the
school.
These observations will be de-
signed to ascertain the habits
and character Of the youth, as
determined by the various actions
on his part. and they will be re-
corded as anecdotes"
BY these "anecdote records
made by the teachers and kept in

to know the exact tendencies Of

officials on losses of investors ap-
peared doomed today
Senators Opposed =.
Members of the Senate Banking
Committee, which spe Mt 18
months investigating investment
practices, announced their opposi-
ton to any material change in the
liability clauses. They insisted the
new law was written to protect in
veStors and would remain that
way.
Senator Fletcher CD of Flor
ida, committee chairman, said:
"They (the bankers) cannot
succeed with that"
His attitude was indorsed by
Senator Couzens (R) Of Michigan
and Senator Adams CD Of Col
orado.
The White House also indicated
that, while there may be changes
in the act in the future, there will
be none that will weaken it in its
objective.
Can Collect Damages
The personal liability" features
authorize stockholders and bond
owners to collect damages from
corporation officials or underwrit-
ing bankers for all investment
losses caused by misstatement or
concealment Of material facts in
the Federal registration Of new Sc
curity issues.
Each participant in the flota-
ton Of a new issue is liable per-
sonally for all losses by all inves-
tors in that issue due directly to
misstatement or concealment OF
material facts in the advertise
ment Of it.
winthrop w. Aldrich, head of
the Chase bank, however, pro-
posed to reduce the liability to
the proportionate interest Of any
director or banker in the pro-
ceeds Of the issue. He urged
"proportionate liability" instead
Of "joint complete liability"

reports on the mass hiring have

The list today stands at 3,722,
against 1851 last week. The
rise was due to the fact that

Mr.. Roosevelt believes the Fed

volume basis of production, leav-

It's got to be a good excuse to
avoid getting a ticket for double
parking. And Terrill Brazelton,
1000 block Q st. N. W., had one.
And he didn't get the ticket.
When Brazelton came out OF
the Commerce Building he found
a park policeman grimly stand
ing by the double parked car, de-
manding to know why the viola
ton of the law. Said Brazelton:
"Officer, I've been out of
work for more than a year. To
day 1 was notified to come
down here, that they had a job
for me. 1 was so excited that
I just stopped the car and ran
in to get the job. I didn't
mean to break the law, but /
was excited"
The policeman decided that
Brazelton had a right to be ex-
cited, getting job after all that
time, and decided to overlook
the double parking.
