Betsy had an absurd feeling that
she would never understand the for

at things that she thought not funny
at all and they retained poker faces

hilariously comical She had noticed
that many times. Now, an American

mirth at the corners of his mouth.
Raoul was intense, dramatic. He
looked as desperate as if he were

Betsy laughed lightly, not alto
gether convincingly.
"Right-o!" she said. Il hope you're
! not going to put tacks in his bed
or something juvenile like that"
But Raoul wasn't listening. Mirac-
ulously he had pressed button and
a prodigious gold-framed portrait of
South American raval hero slid
1 out from the wall. Raoul, bending

why, Raoul returned.

/ as if some one might step out of

hadn't played joke on any one. She
didn't know how she knew it, but all
/ at once she was conscious that Raouls
actions had something to do with the
smiling, unctuous Minister in the re-
ceiving line upstairs, with the two
countries that were about to declare
war. And stark fear went through
her body like icy waters pouring over
glacier.
''Raoul!" she cried in a whisper.

Marshall Van Devanter and torn with
jealousy because of his apparent infa:u-
alton for Libby Stockton. spoiled daughter
of an old and wealthy Washington fam
lily. She has met Raoul de Prudentio,
Latin American diplomat who is infatu-
ated with her; and John Storm. q law
home She and Marshall have auarreled
several times. but on each occasion he
has seemingly Quilted her fears concern
ing Libby. telling her that he is playing up
to Libby SO her father will give him posi-
ton and then he and Betsy can get mar
ried. She has permitted John to kiss her
during q drive after they ran away from a
dinner party. She has prevented her
brother Terry from attempting to do away
with a gangster who chides him about
Sonia a burlesque dancer he has met
during q student ecapade. She accepts
RaouPs invitation to attend legation re-
ception. Marshall has told her she is TO
make q joint social debut with Libby. and
this causes her more misgivlngs. That
day she goes to Johns room TO tidy II. be-
cause her mother Is away and there nnds

petroleum industry" 1t was explained
the proposed meetings to be held
throughout the country beginning in
September all petroleum marketers
will express their opinions, make their
recommendations and finally approve
a code. With these meetings ended,
and every marketer heard from, the
draft will be returned to the insti-
tute'S board for final consideration
and then will be placed before the
Federal Trade Commission at Wash
ington, D. c., with request for final
approval"
The draft of the code to be placed
before the industry is preceded by a
copy of resolution adopted today by
the Institutes board explaining that
the board of directors of the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute submits to
the petroleum industry for study and
consideration the following rules as
prepared by the committee, 1t being
understood that after due study and
consideration of said rules by the in
dustry the committee shall resubmit
its final recommendations to this board
for its further consideration and &C
ton"
Long glimpses into that new chenh-
cal empire which apparently is being
built about petroleum hydrocarbons
are given in The Chemistry of
Petroleum Derivatives" 1,285-page
book by Carleton Ellis.
Ellis states in his preface that the
difficulty of finding suitable re-
agents helpful in isolating petroleum
hydrocarbons has delayed development
in a field which gives indications OF
being as extensive. from the stand
point of organic chemistry and of the
production of varied commercial
products. as that of coal tar. The
same difficulty, he says, has some
what handicapped pure chemical re-
search in petroleum commensurate
with supplies now found to be SC
vast and so widespread throughout
the world that yesterdays apprehen-
sions of early exhaustion have been
dissipated.
The magnitude of Ellis work. with
its so chapters, is evidence that much
has been done in this new field. The
book is written for the chemist, rather
sthan the layman, yet indicates even
to the non-technical mind that the
early future will see advances in the
utilization of petroleum and its de-
rivatives which will tend to make
rather commonplace the surprising
developments of the last two decades
To one accustomed to viewing Pc
troleum as the source chiefly of mo-
tor fuels and lubricants the book dis
closes a whole new world of industrial
effort leading to the production OF
many new and useful commodities
including insecticides, extraction
agents, soaps, raw materials and re.
agents, solvents, non-fading dyes, ad-
hesives, odorizers, preservatives anc
medicines. The list of possible use:
of petroleum hydrocarbons, either
alone, in compound, or as processing
agents, might be extended indefinitely
the author declares.

wv of by his side into a night
that was brilliantly clear
after the hazy day, she was conscious
of being utterly weary. She was too
unhappy to notice that the neighbors
had crowded in their windows to see
who was going to ride in that fine car
and that her mother and father, on
the second floor. had drawn back one
of the voile curtains to watch her
leave. A person feeling fearful Is not
exactly primed to the task of being
charming, so for the first part she and
Raoul rode to the legation in silence.
Just as Raoul had prophesied, when
they went down the receiving line
Senior Planiol, the Minister of the le-
cation, a bachelor, receiving with Mrs.
Thaddeus Simpson as his hostess,
held Raouls hand cordially and
smiled widely beneath his trim, point
ed mustache. Raoul was smiling, too,
bowling gracefully, murmuring, My
pleasure, Mr.. Minister
THE Minister certainly doesn't
look" Betsy thought. like a man
whose country is about to go to war
with Raoul's. And he doesn't act as
If he wanted to stick knife in Raouls
back, either! And where are Mrs.
Simpsons velvet gloves that John
Storm told me about?"
But in the next moment she forgot
the Minister, with his colored ribbons
ond daRnrofinnS hic
breast. She forgot that Mrs. Thad-
deus Simpson was the social climber
Of "the Rocks" who, for some mex
plicable reason. was acting as hostess
for the Minister. She forgot that
Marshall hadn't telephoned to say
that he had forgiven her.
For this was Betsy's first legation
reception. Her blue eyes were full of
it-women in beautiful gowns, pre-
hensile trains curling around their
extensively sandaled feet; foreign
women with precious stones and
bracelets of diamonds and necklaces
of rare rubies flashing bright facets
Of fire; men in full dres, wearing their
medals and breast streamers and mill
tary and naval attaches resplendent
in the gold and braid and plumes Of
their countries. The ball room was
crowded, and there was an overflow
Of guests on the balconies, in the
drawing room, in the music rooms
Sedate buffers passed noiselessly
and gracefully through the rooms with
silver trays laden with crystal and
gold goblets of champagne. And the
music!. A marimba band, typical
of the Latin! =. The silvery, bell
like notes ringing through the great
halls and making rhythmical magic OF
the badinage.
"Oh, what would mother and father
