''Tell Alfonso to start the show.
Skip the dance"
AL glanced about the crowded
cafe. Every table was filed with
guests, chatting noisily and look
ing toward the dance floor. Some,
impatient, clapped their hands or
tapped their water glasses with
table knives. Walters and bus
boys dashed about, hurrying their
orders, while a long line of smart
ly dressed men and women sat
on high padded stools at the bar.
Two dozen bartenders jumped to
their demands.
AIRS eyes conferred for a mo-
ment on Nine Lame Renaud at her
secluded table overlooking the
dance floor. He followed her merry
GUS glance about the vast room.
Suddenly, the orchestra crashed
into the Introductory number.
Grinning broadly, Al stepped into
the spotlight.
"All right, Professor" he
shouted. Lets got"
Barely had AL concluded his
song when looking off toward the
Entersol, he saw Inez hurrying
through the door. The orchestra
had gone into a dance number,
and the patrons were whirling
about him as AL started toward
the girl. He faced her, grimly.

ard, the head waiter.
Fright this way, SIR" he said
Madame Renaud is waiting" But
| Renaud, looking tired and over
worked, decided to freshen up q
| bit first.
All eyes turned toward the dance
| floor as Tommy, youthful orchestra
leader, started the introduction to
the Valse Amoureuse. AL stepped
through the curtains to announce
Mile Inez and Monsieur Harry. He
sang as they danced.
Nine Lame Renaud, at her Sc
cluded table, had eyes only for
Harry during the sensuous dance.
Impulsively, she seized menu
card and wrote on it with her lip
stick:
''Darling-we are in danger!
Must see you Immediately"
Folding a banknote with the
message, she called a waiter. Sud-
denly she stopped, confused. Her
husband was standing at the table,
looking down at her. Had he seen
her write the message?
"Oh!" she gasped. You fright
ened me-"
Sorry, dear"
Hastily she dismissed the hover
ing waiter.
"What's the matter? Are you
ill? You're trem bling"
I'm perfectly all right. But l
know you're too tired to bother
about ordering. Let me do it for
you" She breathed easier again
when, without question, he handed
her the menu he had taken up.
AL, crossing the floor, stopped
horror-struck as he saw a man at
the bar holding a sharp-pointed
pocket knife in one hand, drawing
the blade lightly across the wrist
of the other hand.
AS AL appeared before him he
stopped toying with the blade, and

out pausing to knock, AL kicked
the door open, revealing Harry,
romantic, dark-eyed, seated at
I his dressing table.
He glanced up in annoyance,
his expression changing to sneer-
ing grin as he recognized his caller.

SECOND OIL TANKER
is WATCHED BY U. S.
Government Bans One on Pacific
Coast Without Proof Cargo
Was Produced Legally.

BY the Associated Press.
With legal barriers thrown up to
prevent the tanker Papoose from
landing her allegedly illegal cargo of
gasoline at Tacoma or Seattle, the
Federal Oil Administration today was
on the trail of a second Texas tanker,
the Republic, to make sure that none
of her 100000 gallons is illegal. In
the case of the Papoose, the Govern
ment has resorted to injunction pro-
ceedings to keep the vessel outside
Seattle.
A Federal Court restraining order
served at am. yesterday on Capt.
H. o. Jacobson, after the Papoose
had been stopped by Coast Guard
cutter north Of Tacoma in Puget
Sound, prevented any unloading ac-
tiVty.
Capt. jacobson and other defend
ants, including oil companies, will be
required to show cause next Saturday
why the order should not be made
permanent.
At the request of Secretary Ickes,
the customs bureau ordered Saul
Hass, collector at Seattle, not to per-
NIT the Papoose to discharge any of
her 100000 gallons of gasoline at
Seattle or Tacoma without presenting
evidence that the cargo was legal. 1t
must be shown that the gasoline was
not made from oil produced in excess
Of proration allotments.
The Papoose, which left Houston,
Tex, September 30. already has been
prevented from unloading at San

FLIGHT TO BYRD'S
BASE is PLANNED
Plane May Bring Leader Back
to Little America, Leaving
New Observer.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, Au-
gust 27.-A monoplane has been pre-
pared for a flight to the advance
weather base where Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd is recuperating from
illness suffered during his solitary vigil
there of nearly five months. Ice con-
ditions about the advance base are not
favorable for a landing.
If the hop is made it is assumed Ad-
miral Byrd will return in the plane,
which would leave new observers at
the weather observation post.
The latest radio report from DR..
Thomas C. Poulter, who headed trac-
tor party of three which went to
Byrds relief two weeks ago, said the
expedition leader is making slow daily
progress.
DR.. Poulter reported that when the
party arrived Byrd had been so un-
accustomed to using his voice ne
talked in shouts. but now had uncon-
sciously adjusted his voice to normal
volume.
The last two days at the advance
base have brought daily minimum
temperatures of rs degrees below zero,
the party reported by radio, and they
have not yet seen the sun, which for
five days has been showing its rim
above the Ross Sea after the long
Winter night. From Little America
the sun looked today at noon like a
pillar of gold in a sea of rose.
An outbreak of colds has attacked
the party here. Colds are uncommon
in this supposedly germless continent.
and every one was at a loss to account
for the infection. DR.. Louis H. Potaka,
medical officer, finally figured it out
that the germs were probably spread
when a box of clothes was opened in
one of the buildings.
