Run, darling!"
Mamma got to work on Anne in
earnest. For there was Henry. Henry
had gobs of money. He was incredibly
well meaning, and incredibly dull, and
most embarrassingly willing to let
Mammals youngest daughter walk all
over him. Anne found herself gradually
slipping into an engagement.
But in spite of this, she was always
the first to get at the papers in the
mornings. Every robbery, every gang
Staying, every kidnapping brought her
heart right up into her throat. But
she remained firm in her resolve not to
go back to the bench in the park. Once
a Paul somebody or other was arrested
for holding up a movie theater, and
Anne held her breath for three whole
days until his picture was printed, and
she saw that it was not he.
She seemed, too to have mania for
detective stories. The apartment
seemed cluttered with them.
One Sunday morning Henry called
up. He had a box for a concert at
Carnegie Hall that afternoon. Would
the whole family care to go? FaustO
Moreno, the new European musician, was
To I, I, ,io
Orchestra. The family would be de-
lighted. Then would Anne mind picking
up the tickets at the box Office, as Henry
might be detained? Anne would not
mind. Good, at 3, then. At 3.
But about 2:30 Anne entered the Fifty
seventh street lobby. She had intended
to walk about until it was time to meet
her parents, but the day was damp and
raw. She preferred to wait inside. There
were not many people about, as yet.
The ticket agent began going through
a pile of reservations for her.
Biggest box office receipts of the
season." he remarked, chattily. There's
hundreds of standees in there, already
Just a minute, miss and he turned
away to go through another stack of
envelopes.
Anne waited patiently. She was in
no hurry
Through the glass street doors she
noticed a limousine draw up to the,
curb, with three men in it, They all
jumped out, without waiting for the
chauffeur to open the door, and hur-
ried up the steps. Two of the men we're

With it went a demand for

CRITICISM OVER

TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 28.--
The appointment of Charles Dodd
of Punta Gorda as state CWA en-
gineer by Executive Officer Mar
Gus Fsgg, drew shot of criticism
today from Chairman Treadway of
the state executive committee.
With Fagg out of the city, the
committee was informed Dodds
appointment was approved by
Washington.
Treadway said, cit seems to me
before submitting this appoint
ment for confirmation it should
have been obtained from the exec
utive committee.
He added he did not think it a
proper procedure for the executive
officer to submit the appointment
TO Washington without informing
the executive committee about it.

to forego the pleasure of angling.

STANDARD OIL
CO. SENDS OUT
NEW ROAD MAP
KEY WEST NOT SHOWN. HOW
EVER; THE CITIZEN CAR
RIEs ADVERTISEMENT OF
CONCERN YESTERDAY

In the issue of yesterday, The
Citizen carried an advertisement
Of the Standard Oil Company, the
same as is being published in 9TH
er papers boosting Florida Sight
Seeing.
The reading matter calls atten-
ton to the fact that no other
state in the country offers the
tourist such a variety of enter
tainment as Florida.
Whether the traveller selects
the east coast or the west coast
for his search for amusement and
relaxation from business cares, he
can find it as thrilling and as en-
tertaining in one section as the
other.
A new 1884 road map in four
colors, put out by the company,
may be had at any of the S. O..
dealers or service stations.
Mayor VIM. H. Malone's atten-
ton was called to the advertise
ment and he felt it VS. fine
thing for Florida as whole, ex-
cept that Key West was not shown
on the map.
At the chamber of commerce
the same words of appreciation of
the company's advertisement and
offer of the road maps were ex-
pressed but it was also the opinion
of the secretary that Key West
should be shown. especially as it
was the terminus of the famed
Over Sea Highway and disburs-
ing point for millions of gallons
of Standard fuel oil yearly, and the
company has several filling and
service stations in the city.

AMMUNITION and
ARMS FOUND AT
F. E. c. STATION
THREE CASES DISCOVERED
IN FREIGHT HOUSE; NO ONE
WENT TO CLAIM SHIPMENT,
HOWEVER

Three cases containing rifles
and one containing logging and
ammunition boxes and belts were
discovered in the freight house of
the F. E. C. R'y., yesterday.
While the cases were marked
automobile parts" and were con-
signed to ]. Rivero, Key West.
they were suspicious looking
enough to warrant an inspection
being made.
Opened, the cases disclosed 40
Krag-Jorgensen rifles, of the
army type in use some years ago,
it is said, and the leggings and am
munition in boxes.
Major Wade w, Rhein, u. S.
A.. in command of Key West bar
racks. was notified of the find,
and the sheriff's office was asked
to make arrests of any who laid
claim to the shipment.
A local proprietor of a trucking
business had been furnished the
bills of lading to get the shipment
and was on hand to get it. But
when the officers of the law were
seen. concluded that he would do
as the old song advised and oct
it alone"
AS far as can be learned there
has been no one asking for The
shipment and it is still in the
freight house.
Some time ago a shipment of
machine guns and ammunition was
discovered by the employees of the
F. E. c. under practically the same
circumstances. The government
seized the guns and they were
taken to Jacksonville. The am
munition was stored at the Gus
tom house.

When the question of quarter

Florida Gets Order To Make
Another Cut In eva Forces
Specifies 5000 Be Laid

March; Charge Made OF
Political Racket"

TALLAHASSEE. Feb. %.
Florida was ordered to-
day to wack 5000 men off
its CWA payrolls each week
end during March to bring
the states quota down to
10000 by March 81.
Comparative reductions also
were required in clerical forces.
The order came from Harry Hop
kins, federal Civil Works Admin
istratOr.
The states quota was slashed
on February 23 by 10000 men,
and tomorrow night another 20,-
600 will be cut off, leaving 3d.
600 on payrolls.
The rates of reductions during
April win be set later by Hopkins.
Hopkins telegram was laid be-
fore the state executive commit
tee in q meeting in which ]. P.

ed that social service and welfare
work in the state has ssevery

which be said he could not "coun-
tenance exorbitant salaries paid to
many of these professionals and
excessive personnel. resulting in an
extravagant overhead at the ex-

the wall. There, arriving guests
for many years have checked
their top hats and ermine coats at
formal receptions.
Open And Closed Season
Circumstances thus make an
open and a closed season for White
House target practice. If big re-
ception is on, the shooting is off.
More than that, the entire range
equipment is folded and whisked
away in six sections, each eight
feet long.
If smaller reception is on, the
shooting is still off, but the range
doesn't have to go into a state of
complete collapse. Instead, just
the snout which was contributed
by the rifle association, all steel
and on wheels. is rolled off to
make room for arriving guests to
check their wraps. The corridor
end is then cleverly closed off
and no one would ever dream a
pistol range was lurking behind
folding doors!

At first the sound of firing
echoed, but a muffler was added
to the target end. Pistols of 20

ured.
The daily duties about the White
House bring there regularly 3
goodly number of persons really
Interested in using a pistol range.
Others Practice, Too
The guards and secret service
agents. who hitherto have had to
go elsewhere to keep up their
practice, will be permitted to use

The various army officers de-
tailed there cannot only keep in
shooting trim themselves, but give
others competent instruction.
As for the President and Mrs.

betting on their "born-R Roosevelt"
abilities to shoot and shoot well.
"They've both got steady
nerve" was the way Lieutenant
Lock put it.
