lice dog and smokes black ciga-
rettes! Harlow, you haven't the nerve
to carry out a similar publicity idea
If you thought of one-which is un-
likely! I'm giving you another day
in which to sell your quota, or
else"
That's why Harlow had gone to the
fnasquerade-to free his mind from
the agonizing threat of being jobless.
But he had stayed altogether too late,
and he was so fatigued when he
reached home that he slumped into
bed without even taking his custom
ary bath. He dreamed confusedly of
beautiful girls who danced around
him, clasping enormous cans of Spires
Solid Ebony Shoe Polish.
When he opened his eyes in the
morning the hands of the alarm clock
accused him darkly. Ten minutes to
8! He'd be late! He vaulted from
bed, shrugged hastily into his clothes,
tripped over his discarded Uncle Tom
masquerade costume which he had
worn the evening before, tumbled pell-
nell down the stairs and into his
automobile.
Racing toward the Office he thought
Of Spires and his heart thudded, lad
der-like, along his ribs to the vicinity
of his ankles. Sell Jour quota today
or else-!" Harlow Savagely re-
flected that he did possess ideas.
He made it with three minutes to
spare, parked his car and strobe
briskly through the corridor toward
Spires Office If passing workers
stared at the hurrying young man,
he did not notice.
Spires, a diminutive man behind
o huge desk, seemed composed wholly
of large, staring eyes and enormous
spectacleS. He surveyed Harlow with
unconcealed amazement, leaned for
ward and scrutinized him intently.
WELL" he wheezed, so you thought
up an idea, eh? Well, I can't say
that it's bad. A trifle theatrical, per-
haps. But nevertheless it should at
tract notice. Now, if you've got the
CUTS to 90 out and capitalize on the
idea by selling your quota Of polish,
70 to it! You'll work in the seventh
district today That's all, Harlow.
Good day!"
Harlow mumbled a farewell and
left. Out in the hall he scratched
his head, perplexed at Spires queer
remarks. But then he forgot this,
remembering that today he must make
good. The seventh district wasn't a
bad one to work In. He knew that
most of the men he would have to
visit were not altogether hopeless
prospects. Filled with grim intent to
sell his quota-and more-he drove
determinedly to the of1ice Of the first
man on mis- list.
He entered brusquely, resolved to
overwhelm the man with arguments
In favor of Spires merchandise.

take your order for Spires Solid

and assurance. Why, he had the
man virtually hypnotized with his elo-
quencel How many cases do you

the man, pencil poised expectantly
over his order book.
"Oh, we have an outlet here for 500
cases a week. We've been buying

"Surel" broke in Harlow. ''It con-
vinced you Of the superiority of our

The man accepted the pencil and,
with his eyes still staring at Harlow
in fascination, scribbled his signature.
Harlow thanked him and bade him
good-by. He left as briskly as he had
arrived, jubilant and proud. He was
out to conquer the world; and what .
start he had made! He knew now
that he had found himself at last.
And apparently he had; for wher-
ever he went he repeated his initial
success of the morning. Prospects
rarely offered protests. He seemed to

them under a hynoptic spell while he

Eventual Victory Over
Rugged Individualism
Seen by Priest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, June 3.-Rev. Charles
e. Coughlin predicted last night that
the Blue Eagle of N. r. A, or its
equivalent, would rise, like the Phoenix
Of old, from its own ashes.
He told his National Union for
Social Justice in a radio address that
the adverse decision of the Supreme
Court regarding N. r. A. would serve
TO consolidate New Deal advocates in
a united front, and declared that he
was more optimistic than ever before
of an eventual triumph over rugged
tndividualism."
Denies All Is Lost.
"All is not lost" he said. "On the
contrary, all is about to be gained.
The lateral attack against rugged in
dividualism is changing to a frontal
attack against the arsenal Of financial
domination"
Father Coughlin devoted his address
to the way out" for the New Deal.
Decision Expected.
"Years before the national recovery
act was contemplated the astute
lawyers and the vested interests Of
wealth and intellect anticipated the
New Deal" the priest said. In fact,
they so conceived the N. r. A. through
the United States Chamber of Com
merce that, when the emergency of
the moment had passed, they could
toss it into the ash can of unconsti-
tutionality.
Business will not reform ITSELF"
Father Coughlin continued, NOR are
its promises to that effect of any
serious import. Business
must be placed on parole and kept
there. It must be disarmed of its
machine gun of unrestricted competi-
ton, of its Sawed-off shotgun Of low
wages and its drivers license of long
hours for the laborer."

Gently declined to give deposition
which Bannister's lawyers had re-
quested.
Counsel for Miss Harding asked dis
missal on the grounds California
courts have no jurisdiction in the
matter because she obtained her di-
vorce in Nevada. Bannister's lawyers
contended Nevada courts have no jN
risdiction because young Jane was not
in that State at the time the divorce
was granted.
Miss Harding obtained her divorce
in 1882 and was awarded sole custody
of her daughter.

CHICAGO, September 2s.-Mrs.
Anna Sage-the storied woman in
red"-claimed the sole credit today
for putting John Dillinger on the
spot"
Her attorneys asserted in Federal
court she alone had furnished the
&c" men with information that ena-
bled them to set trap for the des-
perado. t.
They made the first authoritative
disclosure of the role played by Mrs.
Sage in the ace outlaws death in

which thwarted the Governments
plans to deport her.

in exchange for her tip she had been
assured the Department of Justice

ings. He declared the promise was
made by Melvin Purvis, who then was
head of the Division of Investigation
office in Chicago, and Inspector Sam
uel P. Cowley.
The Department of Labor. he added.

Cowley was slain in a gun duel with
"Baby-Face" Nelson last year. Pur-
Wis, who has resigned from the service,
could not be reached for comment.

CITIZENS PROTEST
NEW BUS SERVICE
Residents of Eighteenth
Street and Columbia Road
Seek Benefits.

Declaring the replacement Of street
car service with busSes on Connecti-
cut avenue has created a serious
traffic hazard on that thoroughfare,
a group of citizens around Eighteenth
street and Columbia road have or
ganized in an effort to have some OF
the buses routed through that Sec
ton, it was announced last night.
At a mass meeting Thursday night
Woodruff S. Post, 1901 Calvert street,
was named chairman of committee
appointed to represent the group,
and the committee was empowered to
present its request to the Capital
Transit Co. and the Public Utilities
Commission.
Residents Opposed.
Post said he had talked to resi-
dents along Connecticut avenue and
found them strongly opposed to the
increased bus traffic. Pointing out
that SO busses an hour pass Connect
cut avenue and Calvert street dur
ing the rush hour peaks, he said this
results in serious traffic congestion
which could be eliminated by routing
some of the busses across the new
Calvert Street Bridge, now nearly
completed, and then downtown via
Eighteenth street.
It was brought. out at the mass
meeting that the new bridge will be
considerably wider than the Taft
Bridge. 1t also was pointed out that
the small parks at the south end Of
the Taft Bridge are an obstacle to
the free flow of traffic and that the
stop on the hill at California street
will be hazardous in bad weather.
Suggest Use of Eighteenth Street.
If Eighteenth street were used as
bypass. Post said, at least half
Of the bus traffic could be taken of
Connecticut avenue. The downtown
busses could make a left turn at
Eighteenth and Massachusetts avenue.
he said, thereby eliminating much of
the congestion at Dupont Circle.
He said the residents in the vicinity
Of Columbia road and Eighteenth
street are not satisfied with the
street car service they are now re-
ceiving and feel they are entitled
to some of the bus service. Mem
bers of the committee expect to con-
fer this week with officials of the
transit company in an effort to secure
the service.
