could bear. She stood very still
in the shadow of the cab, her
body braced against the door, q
street light shining on her spent,
white face. AS Clark approached,
she tried to pass him, started
toward the gate that would lead
her to the only home she knew.
Julian Haverholt lay dead in
side.
Police were there who sought
her for his murder.
Before she realized what was
happening, Clark had grasped
her by the wrist, had pulled her
from the sidewalk to the street.
Bodily he lifted her into his own
car, the loW-Slung roadster
where she had sat so many
times in happier days. He was
beneath the wheel, he had
pressed the starter and those
two, so strangely met, roared
around the corner. Once or twice
she tried to speak.

You've gone through enough"

tial case against her was not
important now. She must
gamble that the police would
believe her story. They must
believe it!
Patricia heard Bills step in
the companionway.
Every woman, it has been
said, is an actress. The ensuing
hour, a fearful hour in retro
Spect, proved to, Patricia that
she had talents unknown to
herself. Sixty minutes crawled
by in a cloud of tobacco smoke
and the clatter and jangle of
dance music from a never-silent
phonograph. And suddenly
Bill, who had been so bolster
ously merry, was drunk, mo-
rosely drunk, ugly.
A full bottle of liquor had
disappeared. The man had
drunk it all. 1t rested, empty,
on the bureau in a ring of
dirty glasses. Cigarette butts
Uttered the carpet, had been
crunched into the painted floor.
The air reeked of smoke and
liquor. A light chair lay where
it had fallen when Bill lurched
against it as he slumped into
another chair. Patricia was
staring at the empty bottle on
the bureau, Bill with sultry
eyes was watching her.
Come here" he said it
thickly. When she failed to

then she glimpsed a member
of the crew, his back to her,
his face turned toward the
Sound. Could she pass him?
No, she could not.
She retreated aft. The lap
ping of the waves quite con-
cealed the noise she made as
she slipped beneath the rail,
held on a panicky second and
dropped.
She missed the water by
inches. The wharf was secure
beneath her feet. She reached
the street. It was an evil neigh
borhood, sinister, mean and
dark. But she was free! And
Bill MCGEE was not. He was
locked in a stateroom on the
Lazy Mary. Would he still be
lying inert in his chair when
the police arrived?
She ran on and on. A
woman running was no novelty
in such a neighborhood. There
were few to see her. A more
brightly lighted street and at
last she saw a cab. She hailed
it. The driver glanced at her
curiously. To him this haggard,
unkempt girl was just another
casual of the night. He saw
so many. When she gave Jul
lian Haverholt's address he
laughed.
Are you going there to solve
the murder?"

rise.
At Bay
She moved then, swiftly,
moved in his direction. The
bottle was in her hand. Before,
in his befuddled state, he could
comprehend her intention she
had brought the bottle down
upon his head. All her strength
and fear and fury went into
that blow. Bill gave a short,
half choking cry. He half rose,
sank back. A second time she
struck him. The bottle broke.
Fragments OF glass tinkled to
the floor. After that Bill lay
motionless in the chair.
Patricia darted through the
door. The key was in the lock
outside. She paused a frantic
moment to lock the door that
had held her prisoner and to
seize the key. There was no
sound inside. Pulling on her
hat-She had Snatched it as
she left the stateroom-she
fled down the companionway
and up a flight of narrow
stairs. Above her was the
blessed sky. She was on the
deck, muffled in the darkness
of the night, moving swiftly,
surely, pressed against the rail.
The wharf was gray ahead.

I think that remember (get

chorus girls were encouraged to

10 years ago in a show called

Theater in New York (maybe it
was the Apollo Theater which
began with an "A"). Prohibition
had just come in and the girls
gave out little bottles of rye on
the opening night to the tune Of
"We've Got Something That
You'd Like to Get" That's how
old-fashioned it was.
Well, in this show, the name
of which begins with "a" Mr..
Oscar Hammerstein, jr., sent
out eight young ladies, one by
one, to play the ukulele and
sing the song hit, which was
called-well, I am losing my
mind, that's all! Anyway, it
was the first time that I can

out from the third row in the
Drunken Dragonfly number to
tap-dance, initiate AL Jolson,
ha-cha, or even twinkle their
eyes, and there has ceased to
be any such thing as the old
fashioned chorus girl who just
stood in line and genuflected
in time to the music. They
were nice, those simple, un-
imaginative girls with no Per-
sonality.

He gave her a questioning

Well, he had hauled queer ones

It was a long drive to Murray
Hill. The length was nothing to
the girl just as time itself was
nothing. She was only vaguely
conscious of its passage.

what the taxi driver had meant.
People lined the sidewalks, stood
with noses pressed against the
fence, chattering and babbling
of the murder, restraining from

the policemen at the gate. They
would let her pass!
Patricia fumbled for her
purse. Just then the iron gate
swung outward and a man
emerged from the garden, press
ing his way toward the crowds
that impeded his progress as he
struggled toward the street.

The influx of Personality in

when it was discovered in some
band that the trombonist could
make a funny noise with his
mouth and look like Eddie Foy.
This he was unfortunately en-
couraged to do. Then trap

A full-fledged movement is
hereby set on foot to do away
with personality. 1t has gone
too far.
There was a time when little
personality did nobody any
harm if given in small doses. An
odd twinkle of the eye, an indi-
vidual flip of the under lip, or
even a characteristic movement
of the ears, all helped to make
a person stand out, and GER
tainly no one minded a persons
standing out a little.
But then came the big per
sonality push. The idea was to
discover personality in unsus-
pected places, such as the

NABESNA MINE IS BEING OPERATED
 ON LARGE SCALE

Extremely satisfactory progress is being made in the operation of the Nabesna mining property and an ambitious building program is being completed on the property, according to the Cordova Times. The building program included a 36x40 mill addition, a large bunk house and mess house. Each of these buildings are 16x40 feet. A new and larger assay office has been built as we'll as garage and machine shop and warehouse. The buildings are nearly all of logs, squared on three sides and cut in the company's Sawmill.
 The big new diesel engine sup plies an abundance of power for all operations and keeps the mill machinery going g continuously a II day. The Kraut Notation plant, all so installed this Spring, has been nothing but successful and has add ed tremendously to the mines re- venue by extracting gold from the huge pile of tailings which are run through the plant along with the regular output from the big ball mill. About 40 or 60 tons of these tailings are treated daily.
 There are 30 men employed at the mine itself while three others are kept busy every day freighting supplies to the end of the road and from there to the mine by tractor Both mine and mill are operated 24 hours a day.
 The truck road is completed for 70 miles, or to within about 30 miles of the mine, and, accord ing to present plans, heavily load ed truck will be able to drive dir ecty to the mine this Fall after the ground has been subject to one or two freezing spells.

APPROACHING .NORMALCY

We have to accept the term "normalcy" as ap- sted prlor to the topping of the great pyramids built by who had nothing beyond the dollar mark by which to guage the nations greatness.
 Nothing like this has returned in the guse of malcy, but we have approached nearer to national ideal of nor1nalcy in its broadest terms.
 Whenever nation accepts leadership, endows it with confidence and the public readily adopts it's dard as their own and begin to it guage for cia we'll political activities it approaches nearest to the ideal of nolmalcy.
 The confidence has been displayed in the alacrity with which possessos of large hoards of gold and gold supported currency hasened to turn their money the hfestream of the nations finances trusting solely the word and honor of great president to safeguard from loss.
 Emulation of the virtues and customs of this leader ship shown in the resurrection of the symbol held up to youth the most exalted goal be achieved and the quick response it has met among the many thousands of youth who had to believe that eclipse had come over all which once held to be sacred in national ra ditions
 We read where a mere choice of gown by Mrs Roosevelt for the inaugural ball wrested American fash ion from the grip of Paris and transpanted it's leader ship to the White House. This in itself appears insign cant it's face, but little analysis will reveal what it means in social and economic sense: IT'S. Roosevelt chose blue gown. Instantly Alaska blue and white fox felt the stimulus in the fur markets because the first the choice of the first lady of the land and because the rank and file will be permitted approach the style thus set by purchasing dyed white fox almost indis tinguiShable substitute
 Thus almost overnight the nation swung from de- pendence upon Europe for styles both in rament and morals to national symbolic individuality.
 It would be sad day for America when anarchy of tastes and virtues suppnted recognition of the higher qualities of the great national standard During the past decade these qualities at time, threatened ex tincton. but as IS always the in face of great crlsls the cardinal virtues have been reenthrOned and with them has brighter perspective and the cou age needed to rensate the nation it's pristine glory
 Not losing sight of the fact that national emblem atic leadership hinges upon the quality of this leadership 1t becomes the greatest medium of expression of the public in it's relationship, with with another and be- tween nations This is clearly shown by expressions by leading European governments within the past several days pledgng confidence in Americas ability to set her house in order and give inspiration other nations in the process.
 And all because of the ability of great man to putt into action his and the ideas of leading tnkers ot the nation and choosing the best from an overwhe Ing mass of conflicting opinions T

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
legal Punishment of the saloon in this
State is insured by the liquor control
regulations announced here yesterday.
The consumption of liquor on the
premises of clubs and restaurants will
be allowed, but it cannot be sold at
bars. In other words, 1t will be legal
for an individual to drink as much
as he pleases, but the person doing
that must be seated rather than having
foot on the brass rail.
Since the regulations in New York
probably will be taken as somewhat
of guide In other States, this ban
against the saloon is of significance.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
OF Columbia University; Representa-
tive James w. Wadsworth, ir., and Al
fred E. Smith were the men whose in
duence fostered this rule regarding the
legality of horizontal and perpendicular
drinking. These men, all of whom
were pioneer and influential vets, feel
that part Of the blame would fall on
them If the evils Of prohibition should
continue, or become worse after repeal
Under the new rules, which will be
in effect until the Legislature passes
more comprehensive control laws, 1t
will be legal to serve beer at bars, but
against the law to serve liquor or high
percentage wines in that manner. There
is no loophole in the law for clubs on
this and the various exclusive organi-
cations which have had bars during
prohibition now are going to be faced
with a problem Of whether or not they
will obey the law In this respect.
MuIrooney Confident.
Edward P. Mulrooney, former police
commissioner and now head of the
State Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board. believes that this ban on bars
can be enforced However, If 1t is en-
forced, it will be done by pressure
placed on the revocation of licenses
rather than on criminal prosecutions.
This will be true because the owners
Of establishments handling or selling
liquor will value their licenses more
than they would fear going to court for
some violation.
The liquor tax of 81 gallon will
provide for the State from $4,000 900
to SIS 5,oo0, 600 next year and the wine
tax likely will bring the total to nearly
$40 100000. This, coming at a time
when the State budget is balanced,
will mean that there will be a cut in
taxes somewhere when the Legislature
meets. The reduction most likely will
come in the / per cent blanket in
come tax, which is very unpopular
here. There is no way Of evading this
tax, because every person making any
money at all Is supposed to pay l per
cent to the State, regardless of the
manner in which the money is made
or the number of persons an individual
Is supporting.
