THE VISION OF SIR LAUNEAL
(Last Stanza. to Prelude)

OLast Stanza to Preude) Joy comes grief goes, we know not how; Everything is happy now,
 Everything is upward striving; 'Tis as easy now for the heart to be true As for grass to be green, skies to be blue 'Tis the natural way of living: Who knows whither the clouds have fled! In the unsearred heaven they leave no wake; And the eyes forget the tears they have shed, The heart forgets it's sorrow and aebe The soul partakes the seasons youth,
 And the suphurous rifts of passion and woe Lie deep meath silence pure and smooth, Like burnt-out eraters healed with snow. What wonder if Sir Launfal now Remembered the keeping of his vow

SUSPECT NEARS
EXTRACTION

NAPLES, July 4 GN.SJ.-Un-
daunted by a decision Of the
Court Of Appeals, which ruled he
was an American citizen, Giuseppe
Spinelli, wanted in Pennsylvania
in connection with the Staying
of the Volpe brothers, has de-
cided to appeal to the Supreme
Court.
Spinelli suffered a setback in
his fight against extradition when
the Court of Appeals based its
decision on the fact that photo
graphic copies Of original docu-
ments supplied by the United
States Government showed he
not only applied for American
naturalization, but also specif-
ically renounced his italian citi-
zenship.
The appeal to the Supreme
Court will be taken on the advice
of Spinelli's attorney, Deputy
Janneli. AS the Appeals Court
has decided against him, his
eventual extradition is considered
a certainty, but he is using every
legal means to remain in this
country.

GUARDS RESCUE
ID FROM LAKE

SANDUSKY, Ohio, July 4
UN.S). Rescued by Coast
Guards after being marooned for
80 hours on a jetty off Cedar
Point in Lake Erie by a wind
storm, 10 men, in the safety of
their homes, today told graphic
stories of their experience, which,
according to one Of them, made
buddies out of strangers"
Coast Guardsmen, held at bay
for more than "a hours by the
wind-lashed seas, managed to
effect thrilling rescue late yes
terday and all the men were
brought ashore safely.
Crowds stod along the board
walk and cheered as the guards

was driven back by the waves.

trips until all the men had been

j, s. LOAN

MOSCOW, July 4 QN.SO.-Al-
though official comment was with
held, the general response in
Soviet government circles to the
news that the United States Re
construction Finance Corporation
will finance cotton exports to Rus
sia was extremely favorable.
The loan is said to augur we'll
for establishment of closer trade
and official relations between
America and the Soviet, even
though it is we'll understood this
transaction is simply a business
deal between the corporation and
the Amtorg Trading Organization.
The loan is considered to bridge
the gap on credits which has
heretofore separated Soviet Russia
and the United States, and to
pave the way for future American
credits, private or official. which
the government here desires and
needs.
The Russian government wants
the American cotton as badly as
America wants to dispose of her
surplus, and also n d S other
American surpluses. Foreign OBJ
servers here are of the opinion
that one would not be far wrong
in predicting Russia would eagerly
take other American commodities
at the same terms.

CHICAGO, July 4 GN.SO.
The more than 10000 delegates to
the annual convention of the Ma
tional Education Association
eschewed the holiday today to
plunge into the mass Of problems
involved in educating the children
Of the country.
In an address last night, DR..
Glenn Frank, president of the
University of Wisconsin, sounded
the keynote. He said:

sumo that a nation can suffer
an economic diSlOcatiOn without
its institutions having to ad-
just themselves to its impact.

teacher should be exempt from
his just share of sacrifices.
"But there are interests that
lie beyond economies, and un-
less these interests that have to
do with the bodies and minds Of
the nation are safeguarded in
the midst of crisis, economic re-
cOvery itself will prove a barren
achievement.

balance the nations life as to

JEWS WITNESS
BIC PAGEANT

CHICAGO, July 4 GN.S).
Members of Jewish organizations
in convention here continued
their sessions today but termed
them an anticlimax to the great
spectacle they witnessed at Sol
dier Field last night.
Under a brilliant three-quarter
moon and a sky generously sprin-
kled with bright stars, 125,000
Jews gathered to view "The Ro-
nance of a People"-the story Of
their races march through 40
centuries.
For almost two hours the Sec
ond-hand clothes dealer from the
Ghetto and the prince from the
marts of trade sat side by side
and with eager, rapt faces
watched the unfolding Of the
spectacular pageant, the retelling
Of the joys and woes comprising
the history of 1000 years OF
Jewry.
Under the brightly starred sky,
the great SkyscraperS and the
modernistic buildings Of a Gen.
tury of progress in the back
ground presented a strange con-
trast to the age-old story Of the
creation, the children Of Israel
wailing their sorrow, the story
Of Abraham, and the history OF
the trials and tribulations Of
race through the ages to the
present day.
The attendance was swelled by
the meeting here of the Zionist
Organization Of America and OF
B'nai Birth, two Of the largest
Jewish organizations -

POLICE REJECT
STORY FACTOR
SK|PPEDOUT
Also Doubt Report That Mil
Iionaire Has Been Arrested
BY Canadian Police

CHICAGO, July 4 GN.S).
Inference and innuendo sur
rounded the kidnapping Of John
C"Jake the Barber'D Factor here
today.
Police, however, were inclined
to dismiss the theory that the
millionaire stock market operator
had skipped to some central
American port beyond reach of
the British government, or had
been seized, perhaps, for delivery
to Canadian authorities on the
English swindling charges which
he has lodged for two years.
TOuhy Gang Suspected
These theories were termed
mere flights Of fantasy, and de-
tectives today continued their in
veStigations in the haunts Of the
Roger Touhy gang, adhering to
their belief that the Touhys en-
ployed Verne Sankey, the "kid-
naping specialist" to engineer
the abduction Of the erstwhile
HalSted Street barber.
The British government has
been attempting to extradite
factor to England, where he is
accused Of mulcting investors of
100000 in stock promotion
schemes. Extradition was granted
but Factor appealed and the case
is pending.
Authorities, however, were not
so quick to discount the report
that the purported telephone call
to Jerome Factor, 19-year-old son
Of the kidnapped man and him
self q kidnapping victim four
months ago, from the kidnapers
reducing the ransom demand
from 100000 to $4,000 was a
hoax.
Factor was kidnapped early
Saturday morning as he was
leaving a roadhouse northwest of
Chicago.
Underworld Enlisted
It was reported today that the
Factor "board of strategy"
occupying the same luxurious
hotel suite from which Factor
directed the search for his
abducted son four months ago,
had again enlisted the aid of
the underworld. The report could
not be verified, however.
A telegram received by police
from Charles E. Dwyer, Of New
York, a retired Army officer, was
investigated by police. The tele-
gram read:
"John Factor, possibly four
others, north, 7, west 9, and
One-haIf miles from Morrison
Hotel; from Niles, north one
mile, $40 feet, and west one
mile, 4SO feet; top floor, two
story missionary house, 20 feet
by so feet; length is north
SOUTH"
Following the directions, police
arrived at the farm home of
Jacob Men, near Niles. He is a
reputable land owner and had no
knowledge of the kidnapping.

Fairbanks, After Ten Years,
Had Change of View on Ques-
tion of Marriage, Is Report

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 4
UN.sJ-"YOur perpetual
HONEYMOON can't go on forever"
This was the warning friends
gave Mary Pickford and Douglas
Fairbanks 10 years ago.
And today they were nodding
'1 told you so," as the marriage
Of the famous motion picture
couple neared the rocks of
divorce.
Said a close acquaintance of
the movie couple:
"They were married in March
OR 1920 but their honeymoon
seemed to go on forever. They
were never out Of each others
sight.
CASE WAS DIFFERENT
"Their whole lives were plan
ned so that they would be con-
gtantly together.
Friends warned them then
that they were seeing too much
Of each Other-that it was only
natural and right for married
people to be apart once in q
while.
'But Doug and Mary laughed
at all advice-their case was
different they said"
The famous film players even
planned their productions so as
to be close together. Each would
start work on a movie at the
same time, and finish together,
so that they could enjoy their
vacations without outside inter-
ruption.
Always at Dinner
Although almost every movie is
scheduled to go ION location at
least once in its making-that is,
the entire company is trans
planted to the ocean, desert, or
mountains for a few spectacular
outdoor scenes-both Doug and
Mary refused to do this.
Elaborate and expensive "SetS"
with great, natural backgrounds
were erected in Hollywood so
that neither would be forced to
leave the cinema capital over
night.
Until only a. few years ago,
the two had eaten every dinner
Of their married life together.
On Long Trips
Then Doug started on his world
trips, much to the surprise Of
Hollywood. His departure from
Hollywood heightened until last
year he was abroad more than
here.
Strangely enough it was a golf
match that first took Douglas
from Mary's side. Three yeal3
ago he went to England to see
Bobby Jones win another title,
and renew his acquaintance with
the British nobility.
Friends pointed out that his
philosophy Of marriage changed
as well. Whereas once he could
never bear to be out of Mary'S
sight, he now went on long and
lonely trips.
Recently Fairbanks said:
Marriage is like a boxing
match. You go in it with plans
of what you are going to do to
the other fellow, but about the
second round you find that you
have to change your plans and
feel your way.
"The great mistake is that
people take each other as
matter of course after marriage.
Marriage is a game and one
should keep feeling his way"

New London Arb0retum Question Considered at
 Washington,

Washington D. C., December 29 In q preliminary opinion. an- nounced today. Jacob Baker. assist ant administrator of the Federal Civil Works Administration iE Washington, expressed his belief that the arboretum at -Connecticut college at New London can be de- veloped as Civilian Works pro- ject.
 Senator Lonergan (d) of Connec- ticut. was informed by MT Baker of his opinion after the Senator had urged favorable consideration of a proposal by Miss Katherine Blunt, president of the Connecticut college, that the arboretum be de- yeloped as a state project by the use of 8 score or more of CWA em- ployes. Miss Blunt had previously asked for authority, to use mem bers of the Citizens Military Train ing corps for this work, but the L.. s. Forest service and Robert Fech- ner. director of emergency .conser- vation work. held that. the project could not be accomplished by use of Citizens Military Training camp personnel.
 Senator Lonergan announced that MT Baker is communicating with Miss Eleanor H. Little, in charge of the Civil Works program in Connecticut, asking her for fur ther details regarding the develop ment of the, arboretum, on which to base a final decision regarding the project.

 He remembered that the lot was vacant except for Saturday and Sunday when the youngsters were not at school. Rough goal posts were set up. No one was ever around. Why not? Why not get a ball, they were not so expensive? The exercise he would get kicking Ia ball and then walking after 1t would do him good. He really needed 1t. He did not get enough. He was getting fat. The next day saw Jake sheepishly appear on the sandlot a full half hour before his usual time. Under his arm was tucked a new and shiny football.

His leg came up, carried by the impetus of his next moment Jake found himself sitting on the ground, jar red to the core. He had missed the ball entirely! It lay near by. He took the ball again and once more tried to kick it. This time he took it easier. The ball glanced off his foot and went spinning to one side. There was more to it than he thought. Then began a stubborn battle. Jake was deter mined that he would duplicate his feat of the day before but he found that he could not do it.

 Proposed legislation legalizing hard liquors. however, will meet strong opposition. Politicians pre- ferably are non-commital on the subject. Formerly, support of pro hibition was an accepted plank in a candidate'S platform. Such a

 As he stood listening to the talk. they spoke of kicking. Jake perked up. In a small way. he could kickl They spoke of a field goal, booted from the thirty yard line. They described the kick in glowing terms. Jake was amazed. Why, he could do that, even better 1t! He did it daily on his way to work. Kicked 'em farther than that every day right across the street on the sandlot.
 Forgetting himself for the mo- ment, he snorted and then ex- claimed:
