George sighed hopelessly.

Never Contented
He had never been entirely
contented since he returned
home from school. Any other
boy his age might have con-
sidered himself lucky. There
was the garage that his father
owned and operated success
fully. And there was a place
there for George as manager.
But George disliked every phase
of the business. He had a secret
yearning to become an artist.
His spare time, for a number OF
years, had been devoted to that
end.
When the scheduled nuptials
were a few weeks off he
broached the subject to Doris.
"I was thinking" he began,
"why couldn't we take that
money we've got saved and go
and live in New York for a
while? know I couldn't ex.
pect to be successful right off.
But maybe I could get a job in
some commercial agency or with
an advertising firm, and do my
own work in my spare time.
That's the way they all start
out. Would YOU be willing to
take a chance?"
The girl appeared doubtful.
But your job here" she pro-
tested. What about your
father and the garage? You're
always sure of making a living
here, and goodness only knows
what it's like in New York"
yeah, a living fooling around
automobiles" Georges voice
was bitter. That's all they ever
talk about at home. It's all I
ever hear. don't want to work
around a garage all my life.
want to paint"
They talked it over at some
length. In the end, George won
his point. They were to be
married and leave for New
York. E.
On the morning that they de-
parted, George was extremely
happy and Doris still a little
doubtful and afraid. Her new
husband, however, managed to
reassure her. He would, he re-
peated, find a job in an adver-
tising agency. That, he added
condescendingly. would be only
for a little while at first.
Georges preconceived ideas
underwent a rapid change in
the brief space of a few weeks.
The Washington times., 1934-09-25

Oddly enough, no offers for
jobs of any kind came pouring
in. He discovered that there
were men far more talented,
more trained than he who would
have considered a job in a
garage a direct gift from
Makes The Rounds
But he refused to acknowl-
edge that he had made a mis-
take. The greater part of each
day was devoted to making the
rounds Of agencies. Conditions
were not in the least as he had
imagined them. When the ro-
mantle situation Of starving in
a garret grew nearer to becom-
ing an unpleasant reality, he
found that he couldn't work and
worry both. And it was his
painting that suffered.
He refused, also, to give up
and go back to his fathers buSi-
ness. Doris suggested it, tim
idly. once or twice. Her hus-
bands answer was emphatic if
not actually violent.
I'm not going back!" he
shouted. Il never realized how
much hated working around
that garage until I got away
from it. You know what it'll
mean now if I go back, don't
you? All my life I'll be stuck
there working on automobiles.
Talking about them. Listening
to talk about them. Nope, we're
staying. Something will turn
up"
That was at first, when Doris
was still hopeful, and still tinid.
Later, her requests became de-
mands. Her voice grew sharp
with annoyance. The money
they had saved was all but gone.
If George did not go with her,
she threatened, she was going
home alone.
you've had lots of time to
get a job, if you were going to
get one" she pointed out. BE

nOunced that the Dodge car
operated by Hauptman had been
stolen from Lakewood. A re-
porter was assigned to get the
engine and serial numbers, and
the city desk promptly com.
municated with the company in
Detroit. and learned that the
car had been purchased by
Hauptmann.
Ten minutes before the police
reached "JafSie" (mind you,
they had had Hauptmann for
almost two days., a Journal re-
porter was closeted with him;
in fact, the aged doctor first
learned of the suspects arrest
when the reporter arrived to
question him.
Gables were dispatched to Ger
many for full information about
Hauptmann'S past, to England
for a statement from Betty Cow,
to Norway for information about
the present whereabouts and
activities of Red Johnson.
Reporters were dispatched to
Hopewell and other points of
Jersey with photographs of
Hauptmann in an endeavor to
locate as many residents as pos
Sible who might identify the
man as having been in the 10.
cality at some time or other.
For a good city editor is not
content with the information
handed out through official
channels. The very heart and
soul of the newspapers lie in
the number of exclusives" it
can score over it's rivals, and you
don't chalk up beats by con-
filming yourself to the handouts
vouchSafed by the authorities.
Even as this is being written,
every resource of the newspaper
for which 1 have the privilege Of
working is being employed to
snare clinching evidence Of the
prisoners culpability- or inn0-
cence. No angle is being left
untouched. As a result, the
Journal thus far has been able
to reach the streets with one
piece of important information
after another long before its
contemporaries. Most notable
was the fact that it was giving
you the name of the suspect
fully 40 minutes earlier than its
SpeedieSt rival.
Nor has this been a Spon-
taneous combustion of. activity
following the receipt of the first
tip. For months We have known
here that the Federal and local
agencies were gradually closing
in on a suspect in the Lindbergh
case. Only a few weeks ago
the Journal was prepared to
break out with some startling
developments in the case, but,
at the urgent pleas of the De-
partment of Justice chiefs, held
off for fear that the criminal
would be tipped off.

newspaper men got to them.
Now, so far, what was done
was more or less general news
paper routine. Any experienced
newspaper city editor would
have gone along these lines.
Most of them did, in fact.
For almost two days the
police had had Hauptmann in
custody, but it was the city edi-
tor of the Journal who, within
80 minutes after he had the
name of the suspect, had good,
common sense to send men over
to the auto license bureau to un-
earth the Germans license ap-
plications, get them photo
graphed and brought back to
the office for comparison with
photographs of the kidnap notes.
1t was the assistant managing
editor whose quick brain con-

letters from the kidnap notes
and assembling them into
Hauptmann's name to compare
with the signature on the appli-
cation.
