Lets drive out on the hill road, "
Janet suggested. Il like 1T out there. "
They got into the roadster and
headed for the hill road. But this
time when they came to the turn
overlooking the lights Of the city,
jeff did not stop.
Janet said, Tell me about the
raise. How did it happen?'
Nobody could have been more
surprised than I was jeff told her.
The boss just called me in this
morning and said that from now on
I was to take charge of the depart

I've thought it all out and it's
the only thing for me to do. Should

more weeks, so that I'll have more
money and then I'm leaving"
But where will you go?"
I'll settle that later. There are
lots of places to go. I'm sick of
Lancaster and everything in it.

Janet turned and put hand on
his arm.
Il didn't mean it about YOU" jeff
You're the one real friend I have!
No matter where go I'll never for

There was silence between them.
All at once the young man let out
an exclamation and put his foot on
the brake. On the road ahead
Janet saw two figures-a man and
a girl. There was something dark
behind them.

a DAY
BY RRUCE CATION

MTHILE the highbrow authors
w have been striving to evolve a
new form for the novel, certain less
pretentiouS writer's have gone ahead
and produced a type of novel which
while following all of the old forms.
is nevertheless diStinctiveIy and I'M
mistakably modern.
This kind of book is completely
ard-boiled, disilluSioned and cyni-
cal. 1t has a serious undercurrent
and a light, frothy surface. 1t seems
tlippant without really being so.
Its writer usually possesses much
skill at characterization and an I'M
canny knack of reproducing current
speech with photographic accuracy.
A fine example of this type is
The Captain Hates the Sea-" by
Wallace Smith.
This tells what happens on a liner
proceeding from Los Angeles to New
York. The usual conglomerate
handful is aboard; a repOrter-novel-
list fleeing from too devoted movie
star, a private detective trailing a
batch of stolen securities. the light
fingered lad who stole them, two
once-loving couples who are medi-
tating a swap Of partners. a pom
pous judge, a gay widow who wants
to kick up her heels-and so on.
1t takes the suicide of a bedrag-
gled cabaret girl from a Central
American port to jar these folks
into making the decisions they have
been trying to avoid.
They get tangled in a complex
jam-and a sudden tragedy knocks
all the pieces into place. And the
story of what these people are like.
and what happens to them, and
what they say and do, is exceeding
" readable, touched constantly with
salty, biting humor.

CHAPTER FORTY

IN the roadster's headlights the
Il two figures stood out boldly
The girl was in white and the man
in evening clothes. Behind them
a little way down the road, Janet
could make out the outlines of an
automobile.
Need any help?" Jeff called.
The man hurried forward.
Would you be willing to take us
to the nearest farm house?" he
asked. There must be one down
the road little way. Something's
wrong with my car and I'll have

"Sure!" jeff agreed. 1--WE can do

Janet declined and so did the girl
In white. There was a note in the
girls voice that had caught James
ear. She looked at her ctuiously.
jeff struck a match and in the
light of the tiny flame the faces of
both strangers were clearly visible.
Betty Carlyle and Van Bannister.
There was no need TO ask if Betty
had recognized her. Each girl eyed
the other in amaZement. The mo-
ment was too brief for anything
else. Then the flame from the match
died away and they were in dark
ness.
Bannister. putting his cigarette,

NEW YORK.-It's alright to cut off
a big slice Of the veterans benefits,
but to squeeze down the fat pay of
retired army and navy officers-that's
a horse of a different colr.
This, in substance, is the feeling of
General John J. Pershing and Cen
eral James G. Harbord, whose re-
signations from the National Econ
omy League have just been made
public.
Harbord has been getting $1,000 a
year in retirement pay, in addition
to his salary Of $4,000 as chairman
Of the board of the Radio Corp, while
Pershing, who has cleaned up on
royalties from his books, has been
soaking the government for two al
lowances, one of s13,5 and the other
of $4,000.

MASSES FORCING

WASHINGTON, March 22-Roose-
velt's proposal to recruit an army
of 100000 unemployed and place them
in forced labor camps under military
discipline met with opposition today
This is the first definite sign of
resistance TO the administration
which has been able to jam through
all its proposals up to now.
Chairman william p. Connery
Massachusetts oemocrat) OF the
House Labor Committee was forced
to come out against it because Of the
uproar it caused among trade union

MORE SUICIDES
AS RELIEF Is
DENIED .JOBLESS
Majority of Victims
Are Aged Workers

The growing misery of the unem-
ployed throughout the country is be-
ing reflected in increasing number of
suicides, particularly among old
workers who, even before the cap
itslist crisis were already being fired
from their jobs and thrown on the
junk-heap of the labor market.
During the past 48 hours one sui
eide occurred and another attempted
which are typical of the scores in
recent months as result of despair
brough about by continued unenl-
ployment, bringing in its wake hunger
and disease.
Adolps Henning, ST, an unemployed
waiter, was found dead yesterday in
the gas-filled kitchen of his flat. Po-
lice officially listed the death as
suicide and ascribed it to "despond-
ency."
At the same time, Frederick Won
zinke, 80 years old, an unemployed
carpenter tried to kill himself by
inhaling gas in his furnished room at
161 West oath Street, New York. He
is now in the Harlem hospital in a
serious condition.
Suicides have been increasing con-
tinuously. Official figures for New
York State alone show a constantly
rising suicide rate. as follows: 1925
1866 suicides per 100000 persons; 1929
1872 per 100000; 193o-18.6 per 100,-
600; 1888 per 100000; 1920
per 100000. Figures for the first three
months of 1888 are not yet available.
During the year 1881, it was estimated
that in the United States every 26
minutes-day and night--one person
commits suicide.
In the face Of the growing misery
Of the workers and farmers not only
in the United States but throughout
the capitalist world, Pope Plus XXI
has declared that there is now "every
reason for faith that conditions In
the U. s. will improve"
At the same time this propagand-
list for world capitalism made the
vicious announcement that the So
Wet Union-where alone conditions
have improved for workers and farm
ers-is "a menace to the world"
