the impact and he had been thrown against the instrument board. Jean brought the news to Bill when she returned from the hospital with Cummings.
 <, The reporters bounced on Cum mings for his story and it was evi- dent that he was enjoying the attention accorded him. Jean sat beside Bill, watching.
 Pretty lucky to get out of it like that" Bill murmured. Jean was comforting him now. The strangeness which had developed between them had disappeared. "Yes," she agreed, "it was strange" She hesitated.
 'I wonder" she added. Eff Her. bert Cummings will tell the truth"
 Jean got up and joined the group which had collected around Cum mings. She was mildly curious to hear what was said. Then she lis- tened as one fascinated by snake. What was Herbert saying? Could

she believe her ears? What was this playmate of her saying? A wave of anger shot through her with an intensity she never would have believed possible. Herbert was posing as the hero of the crash! He was taking credit for the fact that they had escaped with their lives. He was letting it be under stood that but for his presence of mind and skill in handling the con- | trols both of them would have been killed instantly. 'Tf I hadn't managed to lift that wing up a bit as we came in," he was saying, "both of us would have gone ph-phut!"
 That's 8 swell story!" one of the reporters declared gleefully.N And we thought Joe Sewell was a great pilot" added another with q note of triumph.
 "Herbert," Jean called. She did her best to hide the turmoil of her emotions but something in her voice halted the flashing pencils and every eye turned toward her. Herbert, I must sec you mo" ment-alone." There. was that in her voice which brooked no hesita- tion. Herbert Cummings started toward her through the crowd. To | tho others she said: "Please stay | where you are. You have heard quite a lot about this crash. But | you haven't heard all about it - yet"

 | "uerhort she pleaded. 'you l can't say that. You're not telling | the truth. You are casting refiec- l tions on Joe. You will hurt his business, ruin his reputation as a pilot. You know he doesn't de- serve it. The papers will eat up the story you have given them. It's l not fair. It's not the truth" She | saw him vince. "Go back there and | tell them what really happened. l Or at least make it clear Joe was not to blame"
 As in a daze she saw him turn to the group and heard him say:
 q guess that's all, fellows" Jean felt on fire. This wasn't right. Joe had slaved for years, had gone without the bare neces- sities of life at times in order to secure his flying training and to build up his little company. It was just beginning to come along the way he wanted it. And Herbert Twas alibing himself at the expense of Joe's career.
 "Stop!" she shouted. The re-
 porters already had started fol
 their cars to rush back into town
 with their hot yarn.
 "I.isten," she pleaded. They
 drlfted back. "Joe didn't cause
 that crash. He wasn't to blame
 He didn't lose his nerve as Cum
 mings said"
 Herbert's face was ablaze.
 "Shut up!" he snapped as h'
 stepped closer to her. Keep qu1e
 and mind your own business" H'
 turned to the reporters. "Shei
 just trying to protect Joe" .
 Jean decided she would not stol now short of the whole truth.

 There was a breathless moment when not a sound was heard by her audience.
 Herbert, you froze to the con- trols. That's why you spun an. You froze to the controls and Joe couldn't maneuver the plane back to normal flying position!"
 Herbert Cummings laughed. Jean thought it was the most obscene laugh she had ever heard.
 "You're crazy" he said, the tone in his voice belieing the bitterness which he had sought to cover by his laugh. you'd have g. swell time trying to prove that. It's an alibi. that's 1t, for the benefit or the reporters. You were his girl. We'll, you can go back to him. Froze! Sewell will never remem- Der what did happen. not after a crack like that.

Bifl Cantwell struggled to his feet from the bench by the hangar door and adjusted the crutches under his arms. He had been badly hurt in an accident during the war days and had been forced to retire from his career as an army flying instructor. He could do no flying now, but he took a keen interest in the activities at the local airport and he passed on to the younger men priceless wis- dom out of his own rich exper- fence. He was the unofficial chief instructor and advisor to them all. Joe sewell was his favorite.
 "'Seriously, how is she taking to 1t, JOe?" he asked as he started to hobble across the cement apron.
 'Jean is a swell student" Joe replied and realized his enthusiasm was a bit obvious. He smiled to cover his embarrassment. "she's doing well with her landings now and in another week - maybe = I'll turn her loose for her first solo,"
 Bill stopped for a moment. These two kids were in love. He could see that. It would be too bad for either of them to be hurt.
 'Take 1t easy, son." he caution ed. "Be sure she has 1t down pat. No use hurrying in this game eyer." And to Jean he added: "Of course, was only kidding about that throttle business. Joe will never need to use that trick with you.'
 As Joe and Jean hurried around the corner of the hanger toward her car they saw quickly that the coast was clear and snatched hurried kiss. The edge of Jeans helmet provided specially attrac- tive frame for her sweet but strong Face. Her eyes corroborated the affection her worthless lips had ex- pressed in the kiss. And Joe was Euffused with happiness.
 Joe's Girl Finds
 New Playmate
 It had taken years of sacrifice and hard work to build this en- Viable reputation as Q pilot and get his own flying school properly started. He had borrowed from Bill Cantwell for the venture. At last Fortune had begun to smile upon him. AS a perfect climax Jean Mason had come along. She had come to live with her aunt and to invest her hard earned savings in the realization of her ambition to learn to fly.
 Joe was sure he was in love with her, and if his school did as well during the season as 1t promised, he would offer a partnership" to the golden haired girl before him. He helped her into her roadster and waved as she sped down the highway.
 Joe walked back to the hangar hnd found a young man awaiting him. Yes he had heard of Herbert Cummings. Who hadn't? He was khe son of the wealthy banker Cummings who brought his family to town every summer for the en- lire season. Kind of 8 spoiled kid, the son, he had heard, but If he wanted to learn to fly, he would be glad to accommodate him. The Frst lesson was arranged for the next day. Decidedly business was looking up. Joe took his ship up kor g. session of elaborate stunting. 1t was his way of expressing his extreme happiness.
 But two weeks later Joe was fesorting to strenuous aerobatics Tor an entirely different reason.

DIVORCE PRESSED

LOS ANGELES, December 29.-
Mary Pickford pressed for final action
today in her divorce suit against
Douglas Fairbanks.

Lloyd Wright, that he had been in

reached.
The way for a quick divorce was
cleared yesterday WHEN her attorney

the suit had been completed.
Miss Pickford made no comment on
her decision to press the suit, which
she filed shortly before Christmas a
year ago. Fairbanks, reported to be
in New York, was unavailable for
comment.
Wright said he would next ask that
the case be set for trial, thus making
it possible, should the case 60 by

a divorce within approximately 30

Fairbanks has not answered Miss
Pickford's complaintS which charged

the actor fail to answer by the time
the suit is called for trial, or the
court be satisfied that service was
legal, and the grounds stated. in Miss
Pickford's complaint are sufficient,

ernmental reason why the owner Of a
building unfit for habitation should be
reimbursed by the public for correc-
tion Of the situation. 1t is, therefore,
proposed that when the District Is
compelled to repair or remove build
ing the costs be charged against the
property and collected in the same
manner as taxes"
The administrative procedure for
condemnations also would be changed.
Under the present law, any three
persons qualified as jurors may be
constituted jury Of award. The
new measure proposes that the jury
consist Of an architect, a physician
or health officer and a structural en-
gineer or competent builder.
The bill also would prohibit the
alteration or repair of building con-
demned as insanitary when the cost
Of the work would amount to more
than so per cent Of the reproduction
cost Of the building
Fees for the jurors also would be
increased from the present S. a day
to So a day and this would be made
a part of the cost of proceedings,
to be assessed against the property
owner.

gerous buildings was enacted March
l. 1899. 1t classes as a nuisance a
well or other excavation Of similar
type in an uninclosed lot. The pro-
posed new law would add abandoned
building and miscellaneous materials
and debris, which may be regarded
as in conflict with public health.
safety and welfare. The District may
inclose such premises at the cost Of
the owner.
In case the owner refuses within
10 days 10 repair or raze the build
ing condemned as unsafe. the Dis
trict would have the exclusive power
to repair or raze if it decided to act.

Bill Enables District to Act
against Insar,itary Buildings

The District will be able to take ef-
fective action against insanitary build
ings without having to pay the. owner
damages in cases where the structures
are razed if Congress enacts a bill in
corporated by the Commissioners in
their new legislative program.
Because of the cost involved in such
cases under the existing law, which
dates back to 1906, the District, to all
practical purposes, has abandoned ef-
forts to raze such buildings where the
owner fights the action.
A companion measure urged by the
District heads would strengthen the
powers of the city government to force
correction Of conditions in buildings
condemned as dangerous. A feature
of this bill is that open excavations.
collections of abandoned vehicles or
debris would be brought within the
scope of the law.
While of a technical nature, the
bills are regarded as of real impor-
tance, since the inability Of the Dis
trict to act effectively was demon
strated some months ago after relief
officials published report stating that
relief clients in hundreds of cases were
living in dwellings not suitable for
habitation.
Under the present law, if a building
is condemned and the owner refuses
to repair or remove the structure, the
District may be required by a commit
tee on award. named by the District
Supreme Court, to reimburse the
owner for the property just as though
it had been condemned for public use.
The result has been that the District
has been unable to act in many proper
cases because of lack of funds.

Prettyman, who drafted the legisla-
tive program, said today:
There appears to be no sound gov
