Lindbergh kidnapping. I attempted
to get in touch with Irving Fenton.
He telephoned me on the 17th or
18th and I asked him to meet
me at Larry Jones place at 277
West Broadway.
I asked him if he knew where
could find wellington Hender-
son, of 2319 or 2419 or 1919 or 4419
Grand River Ave. Detroit. He Is
the secret head of the Third In
ternational Communists, who op-
crate under cover. I also asked
about wellington and was told he
was in New Jersey.
Asked to Aid Ring
Fenton said they were plan
ming a kidnapping and they
wanted me to come in on it. He
said that if it went wrong, there
would be big publicity. He called
me shortly thereafter and told
me he was going out of the city,
I remained in New York and
he came back shortly after the
twenty-second and gave me a
ring on the telephone. He said
we want you to come in on the
kidnapping case; we want you to
act as contact man. That is the
only part you will take.
He said there might be $4,000,
5000, or $4,000 in it for me.
I said I was not interested 1p the
case.
I had been put in contact with
Mr.. wellington Henderson by Mr.
William j. Burns. That was in
1923 and 7 have known Hender-
son since then. That was in
connection with the Third Inter.

president of three or four banks
in Florida, who was in the peni

me to Mr.. Irving Fenton. Dunni

of the banking laws. So far as
I know, Fenton never was in the
penitentiary.
Came Back Here
I spent quite a little time
around Larry Jones place in New
York, throwing high dice anc
drinking whisky. I left Irving

remain in New York, and if hi

asked.

"Mr. Michael used to read me poem
called Sweet Alice Ben Bolt" said
Carroll, and she drew breath and she
smiled. Its very nice poem," she
ended.
Indeed, Miss? I can't say that do
know it, Miss, but it's kind of you to
mention it."
"Oh, not at ALL" said Carroll, "and
Alice, if you please, you may bring the
packages to me because think I'll open
them before I bathe."
The first packet held "On a Chinese
Screen" book by Mr.. Somerset Maug-
ham. 'I hope you haven't seen this
DEAR" Michael had written on a card
And for some space she did not see It,
being SO busy seeing the Dear" that
had found, through a fountain pen
outlet from Michaels heart.
The next package was padded gray
silk box filled with red and blue cigar
cites. Carroll thought they were
heavenly" Michael thought they
would probably be perfectly rotten, but
he knew Carrolls esthetic reason for
smoking and that she'd probably never
realize what was wrong with the pic
ture.
The next offering was made by bath
salts, family pink, in a large green
Venetian-glass jar
After that came a compact, most
fashionably slender despite its contain
ing quite everything in cosmetic soup
to nuts.
Alice, in an adjoining room, had been
running her bath. Alice appeared, to
Hof
She would hurry through bath, dress
thank Michael, Carroll decided, step
ping into the tub. 1t was no more
than decent to hurry to thank people
when they gave you beautiful things
Could Michael have gone out any
where? She hurried
Then breakfast came. When Alice
returned for the tray she said, "You
haven't eaten much, Miss"
1t had been very good, Carroll ex-
planned apologetically. but she hadnr
been 80 very hungry" She jabbec
pins into her long, heavy hair. Hei
fingers had shaken and she felt it look
ed dreadfully, but she couldn't pause
to do it again.

to Alice. Thank you very much fol-
everything" she said, Thank you SC

Miss Cassandra, before her desk in
the room that was called THE little

Miss Cassandra is minutes the night
before to arrive at the decision that
the child was as dear as any child she
had ever known.

a beautiful day, Miss Cassandra?"
Perhaps" conceded Miss Cassandra
after due consideration-one did not
speak unthinkingly upon any subject
whatSoever-"it is beautiful day. 1t
doesn't always take sunlight to make
day beautiful when one is young, does
it, dear?"
"Oh, mol" Carroll answered fervently
Then she said shy, tense Where's
Michael?"
Michael could not be called Mike in
Miss Cassandra's presence.
Here" said Michael from the door
way. He looked rested and younger
and extraordinarily happy. He took
he said, swinging them and drawing a
deep breath: well! Oh, isn't this
great, CarroIl?"
Suppose" suggested Miss Cassandra,
that you go to the library. I must
write a note to Miss Allistair. Her
mother, as you remember, Michael, was
a Fipps."
Yes" Michael agreed dreamily as
he stared down upon Carroll, "I do
remember-that her mother was a
Fipps."
Then he slipped his arm through Car
rolls and he pressed her arm close to
his side and he laughed little un-
steadily.
They went to the library. IT wanted
to stay for quite a long time in my
bath," said Carroll after they had set
tied. "It's the fist tub I've met in it
seems years, Mike, that hasn't scratched
me somewhere, but I wanted more to
be down here with you to thank you"
Il can't bear the idea of any tub
scratching you," said Michael.
"Oh, Mike" Carroll answered, that
doesn't matter. Those things don't. It's
only people who matter when they're
unkind. And mentioned the tub only
because thought it might sort of ex-
plain my gratitude. I'm so grateful and
I do thank you so much!"
But it was nothing" said Michael,
and eagerly. even hungrily, he asked,
What else would you like?"
She looked at his lips, but you don't
say things like that, SO she answered
with ''Oh, nothing Mike; nothing
more. All want is to be here!" And
her heart added with you"

FACTORY OUTPUT
Of HOMES URGED
Plan Favored to Reduce
Waste and Uneconomic
Features.

Mass production of small houses in
factories is urged by the American In
stitute of Architects as a necessary
measure to reduce housing costs and
eliminate all wasteful and uneconomic
features in construction.
In resolution adopted by the Board
of Directors of the institute and made
public at the Washington headquarters
today 1t is pointed out that the impor
tance of lower building costs is over
shadowed only by the maintenance of
the character of the American home
The institute warns of the dangers of
Observation-Disclosures and asserts that
builders also have "the larger duty OF
making the home of the American cit
izen expressive of all the qualities that
his citizenship implies"
For Mass Production.
In taking this action the institute
said it recognizes the need for factory
production of small houses and consid-
ers the effect of such a development
on the architecture in the United
States. The resolution, however, calls
attention to the latent possibility that
the individuality and character of
American houses may be obliterated
and urges the utmost caution in pro-
ceeding with mass production in hous-
ing along lines similar to those laid
down for the automobile industry.
The Board of Directors Of the
American Institute Of Architects recog-
nizes fully the absolute necessity of the
elimination of all waste and uneco-
nomic features in the production of
small houses for the purpose of re-
ducing costs" the resolution said.
Therefore the board recognizes and
commends proposals for mass or fac
tory production of small houses.
Should Be Expressive.
Nevertheless, attention is called to
the danger of obliterating the indi-
viduality gnd character of the house,
which is the home of the American
family, ard to the resultant effect
upon the character of the family whose
home it is.
while cost is an important factor
in home building, it must certainly be
subservient to the larger duty of max
ing the home of the American citizen
expressive of ell the qualities that his
citizenship implies"

DOLL HARRIS NOW SEEKING NEW VICTIMS
Champion Girl Basketball Team Out After
 New Honors

DURANT, Okla, Jan. 26-Like Alexander the Great, Doll Harris and her Oklahoma Presbyterian College basketball teammates are signing for new worlds to con- lquer
 The Cardinals are the National A. A. U. womens champions; they have won 45 games in succession, all by decisive margins; and their only real rivals, the Golden Cy- clones of Dallas, have lost Mill dred Babe Didrickson, who turn ed professional.
 However, even with Babe playi- ng, the Cyclones lost three games last year to the sextet from Du- rant. When the two teams clash ed this season at Dallas the Pres byterians emerged victors by B to 24.
 A return engagement is sched- uled at Durant February 13.
 Unless the Golden Cyclones give us stronger competition than I ex- pect," said Coach S. F. Babb, i've should complete another season undefeated."
 Miss Harris, captain of the Car dinals and all-America forward said she still expected plenty of trouble" from the Dallas girls.
 Until last season the Cyclones ruled the world of feminine bas- ketball. Then Coach Babb's just bunch of country girls who like to play basketball" swept every thing before them.
 The future looms dark for the Cardinals opposition. as the first string squad of 12 girls comprises three juniors, eight sophomores and one freshman.
 None of the dozen lives in Du- rant, hailing without exception from small towns in scattered sec tions of Oklahoma.
