arms round his neck.
Yes. darling. yes" He is not ir-
ritable. He is without temper. She
is merely late for breakfast and
he must get 10 work. If, instead of
eyeing the clock, he had looked into
her eyes he would have seen some
thing in them that would have made
him catch his breath.

Spots of Charm

Little Lossiemouth Among
Others of Interest to
Traveller.

British Prime Minister Macdonald
was referred to by many American
newspapers, during his visit to Wash
ington, as the "son of Lossiemouth. "
A bulletin from the Washington
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic society. tells of this little
Scottish town and the country round
about 1t.
"LossiemOuth, where the prime
minister was born, and where he still
spends his infrequent holidays. is a

The answer today is that 1t is only

Chicago, July 21.-(P)-A new pro-
gram designed to meet present day
church problems was adopted Friday
by the 41st international Walther
League convention.
All activities Of the league will be
placed in two new departments, the

division Of Christian knowledge.
For the cultural development Of the
Lutheran church, it was announced,
program has been outlined which will
eventually eliminate shallow, vacuous
socials, bunco parties and what-have-
you programs, and offer instead an
extended and intensified program of
definite cultural value for the neces-
sary and proper use of the ever-in-
creasing leisure of this era"
After adopting a budget of $4,000

ly. "Come, Travers-Peter-be-
tween all of you, we can get her to
the house."
"But mother" began Lorrimer,
wildly, frantically.
Mrs. Lorrimer looked at him q
moment. Pity for him, terror, an
ger, all fought in her eyes for
mastery. She said, slowly:
"She's in no condition to be kept
standing here" She indicated
Peter and the other man with a
gesture of her hand. "We'll all be
better off at the house." said Mar
garet Lorrimer.
Supported by Peter and the gar
dener-as Lorrimer made no move
to touch her-Delight was taken
to the house. Lorrimer and his
mother walked beside her, a
strange little procession. No word
was spoken.
In the library she was put into a
big chair. Peter was sent to tele-
phone Doctor Mathews. Someone
else was sent for a stimulant. Then
they faced each other, alone, the
three Of them.
'How did this happen?" asked
Mrs. Lorrimer. quietly.
"She came to me-" Delight said,

ankle which was stretched out on
a footstool. "She came yesterday

"Who did," asked Lorrimer

Pleas for Clemency
Are Heard by Board

Pleas for clemency for two prisoners
serving life terms for murder were
presented before the state pardon
board Thursday.
After hearing applications for par
dons for Francis Tucker and Claude
Peoples, Minot Negro, the board de-
ferred action.
State Senator w. D. Lynch Of La
Moure appeared in behalf Of Tucker,
who has been serving since Nov. II,
1927, for the murder of Banker Hans
Bjone in La Moure county. He con-
tended Tucker was innocent OF the
crime.
Alvin G. Strutz, Bismarck attorney,
appeared in behalf of Peoples, who
was sentenced Dec. 4, 1916. Peoples
contends the murder for which he
was convicted was committed by an
other Negro who left Minot shortly
after the crime.
The case Of Charles Simpson, Minot
Negro, sentenced to life term for
murder In December, 1929, is sched-
uled to come before the board Friday.

Safe from Air Invasion

The successful completion Of Gen.
1talo Balbo's flight across the North
Atlantic with "a seaplanes proves
that aviation has made great pro-
gress, and that the open ocean is no
longer an effective barrier to COM
petent and determined airmen: but
it does not prove that the United
States would be in any great danger
of aerial raids If 1t should get into
war with European foe.
Stripped for action, given every
help possible and permitted to take
all the time they needed, these "a
planes got to Labrador unframed.
But If they had been war planes on
a bombing mission, they would have
had a good deal farther to fly before
reaching their objective, they would
have had to carry heavy loads of
bombs, and they would have had to
plan on flying back without stop
ping to refuel.
Flying the Atlantic in peacetime is
one thing: conducting a wartime
bombing raid is something entirely
different.

A New Responsibility of
Business Leaders

One Of the fortunate developments
Of the last few years is that We are
able nowadays to look IN extremely
radical idea in the face without get
ting the filters.
A case in point is the suggestion
which Donald Richberg dropped be-
fore the Merchant Association of
New York in hts recent speech there
the suggestion that unless the d.
rectors and executives of big business
recognize their social responsibilities,
and act on them, they will presently
be elected by the general public and
not by the several stockholders.
Here is a notion which would have
earned man the indelible label of
"bolshevik" If it had been voiced as
recently as six months ago. Today
w are able to look at 1t calmly and
to see that there is lot Of good sense
In it.
It comes down. that is to say, to
this: we are awakening to the fact
that the man who directs a large
industry occupies a position Of public
trust just as much as does the pol
itician who has been elected sena-
tor, Judge or governor.
Accepting that simple fact carries

Peter returned. He had, In his

with a little penciled scrawl across
its surface.
"Miss Thurston IL not in her

Mrs. Lorrimer took the envelope.
She looked at it q moment, said
blankly, "She's gone"

girl. She could do no more. She'd
