something for me. You can
find out if Siddall. on his walk
uptown day before yesterday,
stopped anywhere. If he bought
cigarets or used a public tele-
phone, we might be able to
demonstrate that he didn't have
time to buy a gun from YeVi-
toff."

me last night. Tom didn't stop
anywhere on his way uptown"

Something in her tone grated
on him.
There are other matters. but
this was the only one in which
you could help me-"
"You think Levitoff Is lying?"
Don't you know that he is?"
he countered.
"Of course he is. Tom didn't
kill Miss Montague, and, OF
course, he didn't buy the gun
to do it with"

"PENTHOUSE" - By Arthur Somers Roche

Jack, why do you have to be
this way? I don't mind-what
right have I to mind?-except
for your own sake. Layton
doesn't mind except for your
sake. He hates to see you
cheaper yourself. OF course,
he shouldn't have told me, but
well, I've been told. And I
feel so sorry for you"
Really? Have you seen
Miss Waxted? If you had you
couldn't be sorry for me-"
Now you're being cheap, and
that isn't like you."

criticism from you or anyone
else about my actions!" he

right for Tom Siddall to have
an affair with Mimi Montague"

went back to her?"

that shook this section March 10,
just IL weeks ago.
The blast, followed Immediately
by fire, came in the middle of a
quiet afternoon while Signal Hill
was pouring out its daily quota Of
black gold.
A few seconds before 2 p. m. there
was a slight detonation at the ab-
sorption plant of the Richfield
Oil company in the southwest Sec
ton of the field.
Valve Blown Out
Those who knew what caused
that minor blast did not live to tell
What happened but it was presumed
that a valve from a pressure tank
blew out.
A few Workmen ran to aid those
already in the absorption plant for
all knew that it was important to
shut off valves.
It was too late. Sheets of casing
head gasoline, highly volatile, went
flying through the air and then
came a terrific blast.
The conclusion was so great 1t
was heard in Hollywood and Pasa-
dena, points nearly 20 miles away.
1t broke windows in San Pedro,
seven miles distant.
Sheets of flame flew in add direc
tions and within few seconds 10
of the Richfield storage tanks, each
holding 1000 barrels of oil were
aflame. Oil pools in the immediate
district were set afire as were der
.'icks and office buildings.
A score OF houses OH the fringe
Of the oil field were demolished
Homes were badly damaged within
mile of the district.
Only the fastest response and
quickest action by firemen from all
adjacent cities prevented the spread
of flames that might even have
swept the entire .ield.

HAVE TROUBLE

MADRID, June 8. U.P)-An open
fight existed between the Roman
Catholic church and the Spanish
Republican state today on the
troubled educational problem.
To a state decree forbidding re-
ligious orders to engage in teach
ing, the Spanish episcopate re-
ported with a reminder that Cath
olics may not, without special per-
mission, send their children to lay
schools under penalty of excom-
munication.
In their angrily worded ban on
the state schools, the Episcopate
said:
Only by odious tyranny can the
state impose limitations on the
church's educational function"
News of the fight will be sent to
Pope Plus at Rome today. Cath
olics were awaiting any possible
word from the Pope as regards
President Niceto Alcala- Zamora,
who signed the decree for tho
state.
A bitter fight impended and on
the decree the next general cleo
ton will hinge. according TO Jose
