ter from the wheat now being grown
Onsthe Caledonia Prison Farm in Hall
fax county. according to j. B. Roach,
executived irector of the prison divi-
sion of the State Highway and Public
orks Commission. There are 1900
acres of wheat on the prison farm this
year, from which it is expected to get
$4,000 bushels.
With wheat now selling at $1.20 a
bushel this amount Of wheat is going
to help materially to reduce the op-
Grating cost of the prison system,
Roach pointed out. Much of it will
be ground into flour in the flour mill
on the prison farm and used in all the
various prison camps and units as well
as in some of the other State institu-
tions.
In addition to the wheat 1900 acres
of corn have been planted at Caledonia
and 500 acres more of late corn is now
being planted Roach said. Some 900
acres of cotton are also being grown
and about 1000 acres of oats, rye ana

Raleigh, July 6.-Witn only two

July and with very few other auto
mobile accidents reported, Captain
Charles D. Farmer Of the state High

II am beginning to hope that at last
the motorists of the Sta.c are getting

"For while the traffic was heavier
July than it has peen In months,
probably the heaviest it has been this
wear, there were very few accidents.
I was out on the highways most OF the
day and noticed that most of the
drivers were careful and observed the
traffic laws much better than usual
The very heavy traffic. however,
may have been a factor in preventing
accidents since it made fast driving
impossible, Captain Farmer pointed
out But he attributed most of the
credit for the lack o1 accidents to more
careful driving and better law observ-

CHAPTER %

JOAN HAD said nothing about
Giles Armiger. There was. really,
she told herself, nothing to say. AS
she unpacked her belongings in the
late afternoon she came across the
little book he had given her. the his
tory of Granitehead. That had been
the real beginning Of their friend
ship-and now it was ended. Be-
cause he had failed. Yet had he
failed? - There had been no word of
his WI lch a married man might not
have laid to her. And he had been
wise and helpful. setting himself to
understand her problems. She felt,
however. that she did not want to
see him-things would be different
a.. with his wife to think Of.
When she went to bed that night,
the fog had cleared and the stars
we're bright. Old Muffet sat on the
snl and looked at the stars. Joan
was glad of the companionship of
the little cat. Lovely thing" she
whispered in the dark. and then sud-
denly she began to cry. She was not
sure what she was crying about
whether it was the loss of her lover
or the loss of her friend. or the loss
of the life which had been hers when
she lived with Adelaide.
She got out of bed. and on her
knees. flung her arms across the
coverlet, her head bowed on them.
She had no prayer on her lips, but
there was one in her heart, Make
the brave. make me brave. Don't let
me give up for anybody the best that
is in me-"
Back at Carmichael was the gay
room with its silken luxury, there
were the pearls which had slipped
like a white snake down Adelaide's
black gown there was the big
car, and Farley aud all the rest of
1t e. there was Drew :. there was
her friend. Giles 8.
Here was a plain old house, an
old cat, an old woman for COM

When Joan finished reading the
letter. she sat for long time staring
at it. Then she left the house and
went into the woods.
September had come. and the trees
were gorgeous in their red and gold.
There was, too, the rich green of the
pines, and between the black trunks
a vista of the sea, darkening to deep
blue under the clear. cool sky.
Joan treading with light feet on
came to the place where she had
danced with Drew. Herein the
moonlight-in her silver slippers
Here he had said. II want you beau

Oh, how much had he meant OF

sorry and he would be here beside
her. and they would ride down to the
sea, and things would be as they had
been before.
But would they ever be as they
had been before? If she gave in.
would her doubts he stilled? Might
she not go back to find more heart
aches. more humiIiations?
She sat down on fallen log and
considered it. She was torn by her
indecisions She wanted him-she
wanted Drew. Oh. why should she
care for anything except to see him?

Primed for the important battle
with the famous Connecticut
Blue Ribbons, is Fred Buch-
holz' champion Occidental Restau-
rant team which only last night
swept Arcadia to jump to the
front in the District League, a
goal it has been seeking all sea-
son.
Whether the Occidentals will
be victorious against this super
New England combination is a
matter of conjecture. But Brad
Mandley, Dutch Newman, Astor
Clarke, Earl McPhilomy, under
the inspiring leadership Of Joe
Harrison are in a fighting mood
they are out to square the whip
ping administered by the Frank
Barber crew last year.
Clarke Rolls Tronsky
A little older but more eXper-
fenced, comes the incompatible
Nick Tronsky-king of the duck
pin shooters and the greatest
drawing card in the game today.
At the moment Astor Clarke'S
greatest ambition is to trim the
spearhead of the Blue Ribbons.
He dropped a close decision last
year, although he rolled TOT in
the final five at Willimantic. His
chance will be at hand tonight.
But this Tronsky fellow. All
sorts Of stories have floated out
of Connecticut telling Of his
expanding waistline. That, due
to bleeding finger tips, he is
losing that magnetic touch and
grip on the ball. That his days
are numbered as a front ranker.
But even these handicaps, were
they true, still leaves him with
a fighting heart and the ingen-
ious ability to set a death killing
pace for all opponents. He's an
odds favorite to steal the show
tonight from a star-studded field.
Equal Of TrOnSky
Boston reta1iateS with Jim
O'Lindy, said by many to be the
equal of Tronsky and even more
deadly accurate on spare breaks.
Team action starts at 1880 with
the Boston-Baltimore battle vie
ing for the spotlight.
In the grand singles finale VIII
mer Robey will meet O'Lindy.

MAT DECISION
To BROWNING

Jim Browning, one Of the bet
Ser wrestlerS in the pick 'em up
and throw 'em down game, added
another mat victory to his list
last night at the Auditorium when
he pinned a guy called Count
Zarynoff after II minutes Of
graphing.
Browning, so it seemed, played
with his foe most Of the time and
only went to work in earnest when
he figured he had tired Mr.. Zary-
noff so much that it became an
easy task to pin him with his
famous airplane scissors.
The bout was the feature Of the
weekly Joe Turner show at the
Auditorium and it lacked the
natural" qualities because Ernie
Dusek. Browning's supposed oppo-
nent, failed to put in an appear
ance because of an attack of ill.,
ness in Philadelphia while en-
route here.
Vic Christy defeated Mike Ro-
mano in a 45-minute Setto; Man
Mountain Dean lost to the Masked
Marvel; Hans Kampfer and George
Manich fought to a draw, and Jim
Clinstock threw Scotty McDougal
in 201a minutes, in the supple
mentary bouts on the program.

SCHOOL SOCCER
To. .PARKV|EW

Parkview School socceriSts were
today in first place in the school
championship soccer series fol-
lowing their to 0 victory over
Burroughs School yesterday in q
game on the Burroughs field.
Parkview had a battle on hand
to win as the score indicates, in
fact, the decision was not gained
until the final period when Con-
dor, substituting for Hankin,
slipped a goal past Goalie Eisness.
The ultimate winners had sew
eral chances to score in the first
half, but blew them when poor
shooting ruled. Burroughs put
up an excellent defensive game,
on the whole, and only was scored
against when Parkview slipped its
goal across in the final half.

FOUR GAMES
ARE LISTED
TONIGHT
BY GARRETT WATERS

\
There's plenty Of action to-
night for collegiate basketballerS,
but the only trouble with the
Schedule-as far as local fans are
concerned-is the fact that each
and every game is out-of-town.
But it won't be like this always,
as even as early as next week
these same sport-loving fans will
be offered several contests in
which to rave over, attend or
wilat-have-you.
Four Tits Listed
Tonight four contests fill up
the bulletin board. American
University is at Elon. North Caro-
lima, to face the Elon College
Five; Georgetown plays Manhat-
tan College at New York City:
George Washington stacks UP
against Wake Forest at Wake
Forest, North Carolina, while
Maryland engages West Virginia
at Cumberland, Md.
Now, here's a good one, fans,
for tomorrow night. Coach Fod

opposes Gallaudet in the latter
teams gymnasium. This is an an
nual series between the two fives
and the game happens to be in
Gallaudet's gymnasium this sea.
son because Catholic University
has housed the attraction always
before.
Difficult To Dope
The four contests tonight, with
possibly one exception, are rather
difficult to dope because Of the
uncertainty with which the vari.
Gus local teams have been playing
lately.
However, on what has been seen
Of respective games locally, George.
town should defeat Manhattan,
George Washington should score

back. But the reverse might turn
out to be the case as each Of the
mentioned local teams have had
their troubles winning in recent
games. AS to the exception, Elon
should defeat the inexperienced
American University five with
plenty to spare.
And while on the subject Of
games, two more besides the
Catholic University Gallaudet fra
cas- are on tap tomorrow night.
But, quite as tonight's schedule,
they will be played out Of the
city. Georgetown and American
University play, the former against
New York University at New York,
and the latter against Guilford
College, at Guilford, N. c.
The Catholic University five
held an important practice ses-
sion yesterday-their first collec'
tive one since the Christmas holi'
days. Coach Fod Cotton had his
men on the small court at the
north end of the spacious c. U.
floor for the purpose Of getting
them accustomed to the small
surroundings they'll have to play
in at Kendall Green.
American University was handed
another setback last night in q
game in which the Eagles faced
the Hampden-Sydney five at
Farmville, Va. The score was 20
to 10. The Eagles played their
best game of the season in defeat,
however, as it was only in the
later stages Of the fray that the
