echoed. But that's absurd"
Bills dark frown relaxed the
merest trifle and Monnie had the
satisfaction Of seeing her mother
straighten, look about her bravely.
Aburd-of course it was absurd.
Bill ODare under arrest Why
he'd lived in Belvedere all his %
years. He was honest as the day
was long! Everybody knew that.
The big man who dominated the
little scene found speech. He glowed
at Monnie.
Absurd is it?" he beloved. "And

I'm his sister," Monica said,
bringing the full battery of her
flashing amber eyes to rest upon
him. Would you mind telling me
what this is all about?"
Several people began to talk al
once. The big man silenced them.

The veins in Bills forehead were
swollen painfully. His scornful blue
eyes flashed defiance. Was it fear
that lurked behind those blue eyes?
No, Monnie would not entertain That
thought for a single minute!
What evidence?" she demanded,
Staunchly.
He was seen at Black Tree inn

the big, man, enjoying the drama
of this announcement. He knew

Quite all right" Charles Eus-

They laughed together, and Mon

to laugh with some one. She
hadn't for days.
Mind if I turn about and go your
way?" Eustace wanted to know. I'm
just barging about for exercise"
How tall he was and, yes-how
distinguished lookingl 1t was odd
she didn't think him better looking
than Dan, but she didn't. He was
nice.
Another girl, fancy free, might
have found him much more than
that, but at the moment Monnie' S
heart was wholly engaged. She was
insulated against the charms of
every man in the world except Dan
Cardigan.
I've been wondering why I didn't

gan, suiting his long step to hers.

She could catch the scent of good
leather and Virginia tobacco as he
opened a pouch and stuffed his pipe.
She stopped to watch him do it.
Funny-she liked a man to smoke

cts. One after another. Nervous

fool she was always barking back
to Dan!

shrewdly. You are looking rather

There was, obviously, something

The two walked on in companion

moments, 1--WE been wondering II l

She said Thursday would be fine.
He would pick them up. About

Commercial Bank Plans for
Rush 7 Tomorrow

Claimants of dividends of the
Commercial National Bank are re-
quested to postpone getting their
checks as long as possible, if they
can conveniently do so, according
to an announcement today by
Robert c. Baldwin, receiver.
Baldwin pointed out that neces-
sarily there will be a rush when
the bank opens for dividend pay
mentS tomorrow, and it will be
impossible to serve all claimants
should they come at the same
time.
Staff Is Limited
There is no limit as to the time
in which the dividends can be
claimed. Baldwin declared, and
those not pressed for their funds
can aid the limited receivers staff
by waiting for a few days.
The doors will be open, begin
ming tomorrow, from 9 a. m. to S
p. m. daily, except Saturday,
when the hours will be from 8
a. m. to / p. m.
Claimants must bring the
orange colored receipt issued
when their claims were approved,
as no dividend checks can be is
sued unless this receipt is sur
rendered. A receipt. prepared by
the receiver, is to be signed for
each check at the windows of the
bank,
The Washington times., 1933-09-25

A receivers certificate will then
be delivered, together with divi-
dend checks with the first divi.
dend endorsed thereon.
Both parties must sign the
receipts for checks when accounts
are carried jointly, and where ac-
counts are in the hands of ex-
ecutors or guardians under court
appointment, an upto-date certi-
fication of appointment must be
produced.
Payment will be made by
checks of the Comptroller of the
Currency only and no cash will
be given at the bank.
Proof Filing Delayed
Every available clerk will be
engaged in the disbursement of
dividends, Baldwin said, so it
will be necessary to suspend until
October 9 the further filing of
proofs of claims.
The dividend payments at this
time will cover all claims proved
up to September IL, and cred
itors filing claims after Septem-
ber IL will be notified later by
the receiver when to call for
dividend checks.
The present dividend, the first
to be paid by the Commercial
Bank, is for 20 per cent and
amounts to a total of more than
81 900. 900.

5000 IN JOBS
PRODUCED BY
NRA DRIVE
$340, 900 Added to Monthly
PayroIIs in D. c., Test
Report Indicates

The response of Washington
employers to the NRA has
added nearly 5000 employees
and placed about $34O,OOO
extra per month in circulation
in the city since the first of
July of this year.
This was an unofficial estimate
made today, following the tabula-
tic nof the first returns in the
survey of the results of the Blue
Eagle in the District now being
made by local NRA headquarters.
The estimate was made on the
basis of reports received from 81
employers, in which their total
number of workers on the first of
July and today is given, as well as
any increase in payrolls.
Have Hired. $50
These initial returns gave the
total of employees in the 81 firms
on July 1 as 4,8lS. Because of
Blue Eagle regulations, $50 work
ers have been added since that
time, and the hiring of 90 more
is being contemplated.
The boost in the payrolls of
the 81 businesses comes to the
total of $438,843 a month.
This is in itself concrete proof
of the fact that the protecting
wings of the Blue Eagle have
provided more jobs and put more
money in circulation.
Used as Basis
The extent of the trend toward
better times can be better judged,
however, by using this first re-
port as the basis for an estimate
of the total increase in employees
and wages throughout all firms
which can come in under the
Blue Eagle.
According to an unofficial esti-
mate given today by Department
Of Commerce authorities, on the
first of July there were in the
District 42,16O workers in manu-
featuring, wholesale and retail
trade-the types of business in
which NRA principles are being
adopted. The total wages of
these workers amounted to ap-
proximately $3,854,315 a month.
BY simple algebraical methods,
these totals when projected on

COMMANDERS
To USE own
JUDGMENT
Island Near State of Anarchy,
Hull Informed; Americans
Believed in Danger
BY International News Service

With consular reports indi-
eating the interior Of Cuba is
bordering on a state of an
archy, President Roosevelt to-
day was prepared to risk the
success of his coveted Pan
American trade policy by
landing United States Blue
jackets and Marines in the
island republic if necessary to
protect the lives of American
nationals.
Authority for the landing OF
American sailors and Marines in
the island was placed at the dis
cretion of naval commanders
aboard the II warships now en-
circling Cuba.
To Use Own Judgment
Although the naval commanders
have been warned not to land
any armed froces unless it is alb
solutely necessary to protect the
lives of American citizens, they
may use their own Judgment
without asking the State Depart
ment for authority.
This drastic action was taken
following the receipt of reports
from American consular officers
that the interior of the island was
seething with unrest and disorder.
Secretary of State Hull said
only last week that no forces
would be landed until naval COM
manders first had consulted with
Washington.
This precautionary course was
followed because of fear that the
landing of American bluejacketS
and Marines in Cuba would en-
danger the success of the Presi-
dents movement to development
of closer economic relations with
the nations of South and Central
America.
To Protect All Foreigners
The willingness of the United
States to protect the lives Of other
foreign nationals in Cuba in the
event of serious bloodshed and
disorder was expressed by Secre-
tary of State Hull at his press
conference today.
Although Secretary Hull would
not go so far as to intimate that
American Marines would be sent

FORD MAY SELL
CARS At. COST
BY LEIGH MATTESON
Copyright, 1888. by International News
Service)

Service)
A rumor was circulating at Ma.
tional Recovery headquarters to.
day that Henry Ford is planning
to bring out a new model auto
mobile and sell it at cost for a
year-his answer to his refusal
to fly the Blue Eagle.
It was said that the car was
to be a vastly improved model.
BY eliminating profit and pos
sibly reducing the present form
Of freight rate charges to actual
freight cost, the car, he hopes,
would dominate the low price
field in the industry.
Ford is the only automobile
manufacturer in a position to at
tempt such a drastic competitive
campaign, as all other motor
manufacturers are under the
MIRA. He has no stockholders to
whom an accounting must be
given, and if he chooses he can
refuse to take any profit what
ever from an entire years or
several years production. He
could figure in taxes as cost, OBJ
servers here explained.
According to the rumor, Ford
is willing to walk into the temple
of profit and push down the pill
lars that support it. in a desper-
ate effort to preserve in this
country the system of rugged in
dividualism under which he was
enabled to mass a fortune that
has been estimated at one billion
dollars.
