CHAPTER SEVEN


CUNDAY morning found Irene
~ dressed in her uniform before II.
Eve was still asleep and Virginia,
who had sat up talking to Bill until
Eve came home, was baking a cake.
TO go with the ice cream" she
explained. Bill is so crazy about it"
You'll spoil him." Irene warned.
mo dangerl He's been married
before to the kind who didn't know
how to do anything but open can.
I wish you we're going to be here for
dinner, too"
Save me a piece Of cake" Irene
begged, adjusting the green hat.
And pray for me. I'm only on my
way to Seattle"
Since her first trip when they had
been compelled to make a forced
landing she had secretly dreaded
that part of her schedule. Suppose
it should be rough like that again?
Would she be able to- keep her bal
ance and look after the passengers
as the other stewardess had done?
At the airport she met Tom Mer-
rit for the first time since she had
gone out with him.
He saluted her gaily, Hello,
there! How are you getting along?"
"Fine!" she returned.
Going to Seattle with me today?"
I'm going to Seattle"
"Oh, you are? Well, listen, baby,
you're going with me then. We're
both leaving on the same plane"

DILL NAUGHTON was dead
ID heading back to San Fran
cisco, so when Irene had an idle
moment she said to him, ut seems
we have a movie director travel
ing with us today"
The publicity man grinned.
do you mean the gent in the
front seat?"
Mr.. Drury-yes!"
Hes no director" Bill said
Where did you get that idea7"
From him. He said he was con-
nected with the movies"
Hes a film salesman" Bill de-
clared. 1--WE known him for years.
One Of the biggest liars on the Pa
cif1c coast"
Irene was amused.
Il might have known it. If he
really were a director he wouldnt
have gone around boasting about
it,"
Bill nodded
You're learning, child! The real
celebrities sneak on and off the
planes as if they were criminals.
That's what makes my life so COM
plicated. The ones whose pictures
I crave shun publicity while the
ones I don't want are only too
anxious"
The plane was approaching
Fresno, and Irene arose to see that
straps Jere adjusted for the de-
scent.
What would you like to do, Bill,
if you had a chance?"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-11

! Go to China as a newspaper
correspondent" Bill answered
promptly.
When the plane stopped Irene
saw young girl waiting at the
Fresno airport. EagerneSs was in
every line Of her from the blue hat
which matched her eyes to the tips
Of her ridiculously high seeled black
and white shoes.
Norman Drury, sauntering out
with the rest of the passengers,
kissed her. She seized his arm and
walked into the station with him
prattling like an animated toy. Her
chalk-white prettiness was artificial,
but there was the same desperate
alteration in her blue eyes which
had been in the eyes Of that other
girl who was his wife.
When the passengers returned to
the plane she was with him. Sit
ting across the aisle from him,
reaching across to talk to him or
touch his hand.
The name on her ticket was La
Verne McNair. She was going to
San Francisco.
The poor little fool" thought
Irene. Il wonder if she knows he
has a wife and two children in Los
Angeles"
She watched with disillusioned
eyes as they left the plane and
walked arm in arm toward the
waiting limousine.

SENATORS SCAN
P.U. {. APPEAL
MEASURE
Smoke Control Bill Also
To Be Heard This Week
Before Subcommittee

Two subcommittee of the Sen.
ate District Committee prepared to
hold hearings early this week on
the public utility appeal measure
and proposed smoke control legis-
lation.
The utility appeal bill would re-
move the jurisdiction of the court
over facts in some cases and con-
fine the appeal decision only to
points Of law.
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettym..1, representing the Com
missioners. and William A. Rob
erts, peoples counsel, will present
arguments in favor of the meas
ure. Several representatives Of
the public utility companies have
signified their intention of appear
ing in opposition to the bill.
A new smoke control bill has
been prepared as a compromise
between the one suggested by
Peoples Counsel Roberts and the
District Commissioners. This bill
will be the basis of a hearing be-
fore a subcommittee headed by
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD,
New York.
A number of witnesses, includ.
ing representatives, of coal deal
ers and several of the citizens as
sociations, are expected to appear
at this hearing.
Senator Copeland is known to
favor the suggestion of several
members of the District Commit
tee that the old smoke law merely
be amended to meet new condi-
tions instead of setting up an en-
irely new measure.

William Vernon, brother of

Police also have been asked to
look out for William Blackburn,

Relatives of the girl said they
were not inclined to believe the
two left together. They admit

an elopement.

HANNA DEFENDS
D. {. TROLLEY
SERVICE
Transit President Declares
Patronage Indicates Public
Satisfied With Cars

"We're in this business to
please the public. But we do
not believe the public has any
decided preference for either
bus or street car. If the public
wants to ride on rails, we'll
build them. If buses are
wanted, we'll operate buses.
Public opinion is expressed by
the way people ride, not by
what they say"
This is the answer OF John H
Hanna, president of the Capital
Transit Company, to those who in
terpret last Fridays rerouting or
der of the Public Utilities Com
mission as a warning to the com
pany to modernize its equipment
and improve it's service. He added
"The order is supposed to be
based on our own plan f re-
routing. I'm not interested in
the order as far as 1t relates
to what may take place."
DISAGREES WITH CRITICS
Taking issue with critics of his
company, Mr.. Hanna asserted to
day in an exclusive interview with
The Washington Times:
"This talk about street car
service being dead here is
lot of 'blOoey.' I know that the
company has improved tremend-
Ously. Why, right now we're
doing 60 per cent more business
than the combined total of the
Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company and the Capital
Traction Company at the time
Of the merger"
Mr.. Hanna laid the increase
principally" to the issuance OF
passes which lower the average
fare rate. He added:
"We've just bought 20 of the
latest type street cars and they
cost us S36O,O0O. If we we're
not convinced of the future Of
street car operation, we wouldn't
have spent that money"
Street cars are the money
makers of the system, Mr.. Hanna
stated, declaring:
1--WE operate more than 200
BUSES and on the whole they're
losing money for us. As a mat
ter of fact, we're living on our
rail business"
Hearing Up Today
Aside from the proposed sub
stitution of BUSES for street cars
on the Chevy Chase line from
Calvert Bridge north along Con
necticut Avenue, no other plans
are lin immediate prospect" re
garding bus service in the District
of Columbia, according to the
transit company head.
A hearing on this proposal is
scheduled by the Public Utilities
Commission for today.
In Maryland, however, develop
ment of bus service is anticipated
Mr.. Hanna said. In addition tc
seeking permission for establish
ing the buses from Chevy Chase
Circle to Chevy Chase Lake, the
transit company this week will
ask the Maryland Public Service
Commission for the substitution
of BUSES for street cars on the
Rockville line along Wisconsin
Avenue.
