had found plugged gas line She said.
 You can go whenever you want to now" she told him. "I ought to get started, SUD- pose," Glen agreed, but I'd like to take the Hibiscus house with me-" '. She smiled then. That's my favorite, too," she said; "but moth- CT likes the Oleander house over there." Lisa nodded toward a pale green stucco house with pink ole- ander bushes growing rankly about 1t. That was to have been our house Tiff everything had happened as we hoped" Without any frills Lisa told the rest of her story. The twelve. lit- tie houses were the first unit in a project to build a community of garden homes. Bankruptcy had brought the work to an abrupt halt and her father had died soon after his dreams had been aban- doned.
 Lisa and her mother had stayed on the place as caretakers, living on 8 meager income derived from an occasional passing motorist.
 "But it doesn't look like an auto camp and people never seem to see the sign," mourned Lisa.
 "You wouldn't need a sign if they once saw the place." said Glen. "Plenty of people would like to live here. Why, I would my self" he asserted.
 But you said little while ago that New York was the only place to live" Lisa reminded.
 "Well, a person could live in New York part of the time and here part of the time." he hedged.
 Before he fully realized 1t, Glen was unpacking his roadster and in no time at all he had become, a more or less permanent resident of Home Gardens"
 "If like it, can stay here and finish my book" he reasoned logi- cally enough, "and If don't, l can move on."
 But he did not move on. He wrote Leonora, telling her about everything, which even included a casual reference to Lisa. Leonora's reply was rather snippy, he thought.

HIRAM CHANGES
 ITSSTUDY PLAN
College Decides to Get Away From Education
 By the Clock"

Hiram, Ohio - (UP) \ A revolutionary change in the aca- demic program of Hiram College here, designed to get away from "education by the clock" has been announced by 2 the institu- tion's young president. Kenneth |. Brown. 4. ~
 Beginning in September, Hi ram students, instead of studying five subjects concurrently, wiN de- vote nine-week periods to intensive study of one subject. The school year will be divided into four such periods. aLngu ages and few other subjects will be taught in running instead of short-period courses. The new program bears some resemblance to the program at the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Faculty members are welcoming the system as an opportunity to do superior teach | ing and believe thae longer single | ject will avoid the frequent short- cutting of discussion, which oc- eurs under the usual system :. President Brown, who, when inaugurated in 1890, was one of the three youngest college presi- dents in America, hopes the Hi- ram study plan will take rank
 with the revitalized, college pro- grams of Antioch, University of
 Michigan and Rollins College.
 The institution, which now has an enrolment of 300 studens, was
 once headed by President James
 A. Garfield.

 "I-there isn't any man." she informed him a little defiantly There's only me-" Good lord!.. cried Glen. "Yov mean you're here in this lonesome end-of-nowhere spot-all by your. self?"

"Yes," she said with much dig nifty. T am a mechanic" "Oh! Uh--well, that's fine" Her chilly stare made him feel rather foolish and very much annoyed. "IlI go back to the car and get my bag"
 Sulkily he returned to his road ster waiting beside palmetto tree that looked like feather duster. A girl with dark blue eyes and taffy colored hair had no business being Q mechanic. Nor did he like her tone of voice. Far too superior and much too practical. Glen pre- ferred feminine girls. Like the ones he wrote about. Like Leonora, for instance. He sighed. Leonora was perhaps, a trifie too feminine. She but Leonora's little comforts were Glens big luxurjes. An expensive apartment near Gramercy Park and a position instead of job. Leonora's father had offered Glen the position. They were amazed and grieved when Glen refused it. EYES OR MUFFINS
 HOLD HIM BACK.
 "You could work on your old book nights" pouted Leonora.. "Or maybe you could finish it next Summer"
 Darling, you don't understand" Glen had tried to explain. "I've got to finish 1t before Spring or the publishers won't want it."
 Father simply can't keep that position open," frigidly warned Leonora.
 
 In the end they had really quar- reled, although Glen had refused to take the ring back. Because he knew Leonora would distract him by her arguments. he packed his roadster for Florida. Somewhere down there he would find solitude to finish his book. When that was done he would return to Leonora.
 The girl with the dark blue eyes was waiting for him with a fash light in her hand. She threw the beam on tiny pink stucco house half hidden by white hibiscus.

 Ray points to the removal of Underhill, Flippin. Dickensheet, Inman, Oglesby and Brady from the crime stage as definite accom- plishments, but does not hesitate to say much ground was lost when Clark, Barrow and Hamilton joined forces.
 He pointed out the trio are known as ringleaders in southwest crime, and hardly less elusive than Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd, phan. tom bank robber, who has been retired" for more than year.
 Bob Edgeman was slain Jan. 20 by Bob Wilson, highway officer. at Stilwell. Wilson wclaimed Edgeman attempted robbery.
 Ray pointed out that two oth- CTS, even more desperate, are still at large. They are "Whitey" Walker and "Blackie' Thompson. outlaws who escaped the Okla hOma penitentiary by securing permits to go fishing. A number of bank robberies have been charged to them since they escaped six months ago. Charley Cother, Aus sie Elliott and Clarence Enc, tough hodlums who trailed with the Underhill gang before the leaders, death broke up the ring, are. still at large, Ray said.

 Today, they are wearing their holsters lower, have oiled up their old "thum bbusters," and are pre- pared for battle with one of the most desperate bands of hoodlums ever encountered roaming the state. %.

 Brady and Clark, who fled the Kansas state prison, Lansing, last Memorial day with Underhill and Harvey Bailey, their gangster companions, escaped. from the same prison Jan. 19, for a second time, takinfi five other hardened criminals with them.
 Earlier the same week, Barrow ambushed prison guards at Crock ett, Tex, penal farm, ,turned a machine gun on them, and liber- ated Hamilton, who was under 263 years sentence. Ss
 Brady was slain at Paola, Kan, three days after his escape, as he fumbled desperately with a shot, gun which had jammed as he att tempted to shoot the officers. Am other. of the egcaDees was cap- tured in Kansas City, and three surrendered when Brady was kill cd. SN

in time Glen discovered Lisa could bake an angel cake as we'll as. she could fix a gas line, and his opin- ion of her changed considerably. In sheer gratitude for numerous small favors, Glen offered to pull out the sandspurs threatening to oyerrun the tiny court. When that was accomplished he asked for a hatchet to chop away some of the | palmetto scrub from the path lead ing down to the beach. One thing led to another, and in time Home Gardens" began to assume a well kept air of habitation.
 A passing sedan with a New York State license drew up one day and 8 plump matron accom- panied by an inquiring, husband viewed the place. After seeing the Oleander house they decided to re- main. A few weeks later, Mrs Brant's sister, Mrs Gould, arrived with her family to occupy another of the small stucco houses.
 Glen took Lisa twelve miles into Daytona. Beach to the. movies in celebration of the first tenants. With the arrival of the second family he began, to feel slightly de- pressed. His Utopia had been dis covered. Furthermbre, his book was very nearly completed. New York loOmed large on his horizon.
 'I suppose you will be glad to get back thers," sighed Lisa. They were sitting on the beach together after 8 swim. She was letting the white sand trickle through her fin- she spoke.

The surprise, Glen discovered, was for him. Leonora, her father informed Glen, was on her honey moon. With a wealthy young man she had recently met.
 "She wrote you about a week ago." said her father, explaining things" -.
 Lisa was underneath a small blue sedan when Glen drove up. He
 could lust see her slim brown ankles. Beg pardon, Miss, but can speak to you just a moment?" Glen got down on his knees to look
 at her, "I'd like a. little service and Leonora is married but not to
 me!' .a" "Glen!" Turtle fashion she
 crawled out from under the car and into his arms. 1T was so afraid it wouldn't work!" she confided. What wouldn't work?" he wanted to know.
 "Why"-she hesitated and grew

Good Evening.
FROM THE sNoW-sToRM"

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and, driving Der the fields, Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven, And veis the farmhouse at the gardens end. The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit Around the radiant fireplace enclosed In tumultuous privacy of storm.
