tempt in the Senate for an amend
ment to insert more teeth.
IF all lawyers agreed with one
L another, they probably would
have to go out of business, which
doubtless would be pretty ter
rible.
Backstage argument as to
whether the Belcher NRA test
case should have been dropped is
still bitter and violent. And the
best way to start fur flying when
three or four government attor-
neys get together is to bring I'D
the Schechter poultry code case,
which MIRA and the Justice De-
partment are now speeding to-
ward the first big NRA decision
by the highest bench.
Tho New York Circuit Court of
Appeals, second most important
federal court, sustained convic-
tions of a poultry corporation on
II counts alleging code violation,
but decided against the govern
ment on the two wages and hours
counts, insisting that handling Of
poultry after it entered New York
state was a matter of intrastate
commerce and hence not subject
to regulation under MIRA.
MANY lawyers here who regard
1'A wages and hours as the vital
factor in MIRA believe the SUI
preme court can hardly fail to
follow the reasoning of Judge
Learned Hand, who wrote the
lower court adverse opinion. They
point out that. Hand is a liberal
iurist who has great prestige
here. ... . rs
But Donald Richberg, Justice
and MIRA lawyers are enchanted
iby the clean bill of health the
lower court gave MIRA and it,

house resolution asking Governor

the house education committee.
The committee today heard the
plea of DR.. Albert S. Cook, State
superintendent of schools, who
argued for restoration of half the
pay and said it would require an
additional appropriation of STA
AS in the supplementary budget.
Asked if he intended restoring
the pay of teachers, reducing the
size of the cut he made on the
University of Maryland and put
ting $4,000 in his supplementary
budget for firemen'S benefits, the
Governor said that he was con-
Sidering all of them, but did not
know what figures would be

would not be restored and that the
firemen would not get all of the
money they ask.

Sign Quintuplets
In Moving Picture

Toronto.-Those five famous
sisters, the Dionne quintuplets,
were signed Monday at the age of
seventeen months to star in a full
length movie.
David A. Croll, Ontario minist-
er of welfare and special guardian
to the girls, announced his approval
of a contract between Twentieth
Century-Fox films and the guard
ians of the quintuplets for the ba-
bies to play in a picture called
1.-The Country Doctor"
The film, it was announced, will
be based to some extent on the life
Of DR.. A. R. DeFoe, the little grey
haired doctor who attended the
quintuplets at birth.
Whether DR.. DaFoe would act
was not known, but official infor-
nation was that his work would

ing at some time or other. He
gazed at it now for quite a while.
He wondered if Rose were still
alive. If so she must have grown
into a beautiful woman, yes, and a
good woman-here the gambler was
speaking. No doubt she was mar
ried. He pondered this thought
deliberately and it awakened a feel
ing of regret too indefinite to be
called a pang, for long ago he had
realized that it was not the flesh
and-blood Rose Morris that he wor-
SHIPPED, but an idea and an ideal. Of
course he proposed to find her
that was the one thing he had in
mind-but what would happen
when he had found her was another
matter.
When he boarded the steamship
at St. Michael he saw no familiar
faces, and, inasmuch as his name
meant nothing to his fellow pas
sengers, he felt a great relief. Al
ready he had begun to realize, as

from Lansing delivered a speech
eulogizing the home state and re-
ferred to the Kid as "that unsavory
character of the upper Yukon who
has brought odium upon the fair
name of our birthplace" Again Jim
grinned. Well, he had the money
anyhow. One has to pay something
for success.
Nowhere did he hear a name or
see a face that he knew, with per-
haps n exception-the face of an
old man who sat in a quiet corner.
1t was a bearded face and the nan
was poorly dressed. He wore rub
Der boots and overalls and a faded
threadbare mtackinaw that hung
loosely from his stopping shoulders.
His hair was thin and gray and he
coughed a good deal.
Jim studied the old fellows pro-
file and decided that he had prob
ably seen the man across the gamb-
ling table or the bar-a river of
derelicts like this one had followed
in and out of his place during these
recent years. He had about put
him out of his mind when the man
rose to leave. Then Rowan started,
leaned forward; his eyes fixed them
selves upon the strangers bearded
cheek.

he had not realized in Dawson, that
whatever The Michigan Kid may
have stood for on the upper river:
back home that name would STAND
for something altogether different.
Back home! The words possess a
peculiar significance for men who
have not been outside" in more
than five years. Nobory but the
homeward- bound Alaskan could in
the least appreciate them.
At Nome the ship hove to for
twenty-four hours, and Rowan
went ashore to see what the place
looked like. Here again he passed
unnoticed, and he was greatly
cheered by hat fact. If he could
walk the streets of an Alaskan gold
camp without being recognized, it
argued that he would have no diff
fculty whatever in the big world
outside.
His attention was attracted by a
poster which advertised an informal
rally of all the citizens of Nome
who hailed from Michigan. The
meeting was to be held that night
for the purpose of general good
fellowship and acquaintanceship and
with the ultimate view of ~organiz-
ing a Wolverine Society," Jim de-
cided to go.
1t turned out to be a pleasant
gathering. A glad-hand committee
was at the door to introduce strang-
ers around; there was a program of
entertainment, with refreshments
promised afterward.
Jim Rowan grinned. Here was
old home stuff. He wondered what
these pleasant-faced men and wo-
men would think if they knew that
he, the unobtrusive visitor, was The
Michigan Kid, the most notorious
sporting man" in all the north.
He heard his name mentioned
during the evening-when a judge

evoked tales of sensational exploits
on the trail, at the mines, or at the
gambling tables; the one perhaps
best known of all was 1.-The Michi-
gan Kid" He it was who best
typifed the composure, the steady
nerve, the recklessness of his pro-
fession.
A hundred stories were told about
the Michigan Kid and some were
not pleasant, for it required a ruth
less man to hold down the job that
Jim had taken, but most of them
had to do with his luck. That luck
became a byword, finally: men bles-
