said. You don't need to explain.
Fortunately, the Department of JUS
tice is immune to that sort of thing. "
Hagan looked modify at the
tablecloth. Suddenly Larry remem-
bered something.
"What'd you say was the name
of the lawyer who springs so many
of these birds?" he asked.
Montague, Donald Montague.
He's got more crooks out of jail
than you can shake a stick at. And
it's not all because he's a good trial
lawyer, either. His clients usually
don't come to trial Why?"
oh" Larry hesitated. There's
girl in Dover, comes from my
home town. 1 feel sort of response
bic for her. Anyhow, she works for
him"
Well" said Hagan, Il suppose
he's all right to work for"
Yeah. But 1 met her here in the
Golden Feather tonight. She said
Montague had introduced her to
Lanning, the proprietor. And al
though this was her first visit here,
tanning had already introduced her
to some good-looking stranger and
she's been dancing with him."
Hagan froWned.
Tell her to lay off," he advised.
Montague as a boss ought to be
okay; Montague introducing a girl
to this Lanning-he's a snake, by
the Way-and Lanning introducing
her to somebody else. Larry,
if the girl means anything TO you,
head it off somehow. l don't like
the looks Of it."

made a strong impression on her she
had definitely decided that II he
carried out his threat to call her up
she would refuse to see him.
After all, as Larry had pointed
out, she knew nothing about him:
and then, besides, Bobby and she
were practically engaged. and it
wasn't quite right for her to go out
with other men =.
But I do want to go riding" she
said aloud. And she hurried to her
clothes closet to get out the riding
costume which she had not worn
for months.

Ashes of Missionary Made
One Problem Not In
the Book

The United States Customs port
in the Federal Building has wor-
ries.
When it isn't a question about the
ashes of a missionary from China
there IS a multitude OF other trials
and trioulations.
The regulations by which Wray
E. Fleming, Indiana customs col
lector, operates his Office are spe-
cifc. They tell the exact amount
OF duty to be charged on ship
ment of camera lenses from Ger
many or a tub Of fish from New
foundland
Some Answers Missing
But there are times when rule
books are useless and Mr. Fleming
must resort to bit Of bordering
and d-scratChing.
Take the case OF the missionary's
ashes, for instance. They were
tightly scaled in the conventional
casket. They were shipped here for
burial The undertaker's certificate
was attached.
What would you do?" sighed
Mr.. Fleming we are supposed to
open and examine all shipments. It
wasn't a question of payment Of
duty-if they were just ashes.
Chance for Smugglers
But we saw the possibility Of a
forged undertakers certificate and
clever attempt to smuggle in some
dope, jade, jewels or a variety Of
dutiable articles"
Respect for the dead won. The
ashes were buried, unopened. At
least the caskeJ was not opened in
the customs office
Frequently attempts are made to
mail or ship salaCious literature.
There's no question about lot of
it and it is given a rapid ride to
the rnace. But some Of the old
NJ vers wrote in the days when
ladies' were called spades.
I'VE try to be openminded, "
smiled MI Fleming.
Imports Are Varied
Cakes Of opium for use in COM
pounding medicines, ivory from
France, fishhooks from England
and silkWorms gut from Spain are
a few Of the unusual imports. The
ivory is used as a base for minia-
ture paintings. Fishermen tie lead
erS with the SilkWorm product.
And you may be surprised to
know that each spring several car
loads of tomatoes are sent here from
Mexico and Cuba.
Few attempts are made to SNUG
gle valuable articles, Mr.. Fleming
said. If you know any one who has
slipped valuables past the customs
you can get 25 per cent of the fine
If you snitCh on him. That's very
discourag .ng-to smugglers.

ly realized that this afternoon she
must manage somehow to get out
into the open country, away from
the crowds and the noises and the
hustle and confusion of Dover.
I'D like to take long hike across
the fields" she unused. Let's see
who could I get to 60 with me?"
She thought of Bobby; but she
knew he would be working all day,
and she also knew that an afternoon
in the country would revive his ro-
mantle instincts and cause him to
speak pleadingly of marriage and a
little apartment. Today she didn't
want to be proposed to.
Hastily she mentally scanned her
list of girl friends. One or another
Of them, surely, could be induced to
join the expedition.
I'll hurry home and change, and
then start telephoning," she thought
She walked to the corner and caught
her street car
When she had reached her apart
ment, bathed and changed her frock
for rough tweed skirt, WOODEN
stockings, loW-heeled shoes and
sweater, she discovered that she was
ravenouSly hungry. The tele-
phoning can wait" she told herself
and she went to the little Kitchen
cite to prepare a lunch. just as she
was plugging in the percolator, the
telephone rang.
She scampered into the other
room and answered it.

We'll, now isn't that luck for you.
I didn't think I'd be able to raise
you on nice afternoon like this?"

said, Who is this?"
A laugh came over the wire, you
wouldn't break my heart and tell he
you've forgotten me already?" said
the voice, teasingly. I'm the long,
lanky guy that managed to get a
dance with you at the Golden
Feather the other night. Remem-

Harkins."
Il suppose you're just all loaded
down with engagements this after
noon?" he draWled

thing she had not done since she

lay on his desk, showed the little
pile aside, and said, "There-that's
done" He looked up at Jean and
said, well, if you'll get these off
Miss Dunn, you might as well call
it a day."
Jean picked up the letters and
started for the outer Office and her
own desk. CHANGING at her wrist

her way out.
Reaching the street, she hesitateG,
uncertain. She had planned to do
some odds and ends of shopping, to
lunch quickly at some handy coffee
shop, and then to hurry home and
put in a busy housewifely after
noon putting her wardrobe in order.
But the day was bright and clear,
the sky was a rich, spotless blue,
and the wind that swung down the
crowded street seemed to smell of
open fields and woods, far beyond
the city.

Hagan gaped at him, round-eyed
What beautiful English" he
murmured. Larry grinned and
tamped out his cigaret in the ash
tray at his elbow.
So" he said, Il dropped around
and got acquainted with the man
ager Of the theater-- without, Of
course, letting on that I'm with the
Department Of Justice. And he said
after while, that some one or other
had told him that Evelyn has been
seen right here in Dover recently.
The next step was fairly obvious.
All of these monsters and their sat-
elites are bound to play the hot
spots They just can't stay away
from joints like this Golden Feath-
or. So the thing to do was to
keep shopping about these night
clubs keeping the eyes open for
Evelyn Brady. Once we spot her,
provided that all our information
is correct, We ought to begin get
ting the scent Of Wingy; and if We
90 that, we'll be on Red Jackson S
trail"

Hagan nodded absently and stared
off into a cloud of drifting cigar
smoked. At last he shrugged de-
spondently.

are" he said Being with the De-
partment of Justice, Look at the
way you guys can operate, and then
compare it with the way we have
to work here in Dover. NoW-I

tective bureau last month";"
Larry nodded.
"XXTELL," said Hagan, look at
w the difference. With you peo-
pie, the chief problem is to find out
who you want and where he is
With us, the tough part is to try
to figure out some way Of doing
anything to the guy after we do
find all that out. In the first place,
we haven't got the facilities you
people have If he goes outside of
Dover, we have to trust to luck that
the coppers in the next town will
cooperate with us and pick him
up, and like as not they won't If
he stays in Dover, he's probably
friend of some politician or other
so what happens?
1--WE pick him up, book him and
turn him over to the prosecutor;
then he hires Dan Montague or
some other high-po6ered mouth

We know he's loose again, and we
have to grin and take it.
And the worst of it is, the peo-

want to do our duty just the same

TERRORISM

TOKYO, May 31.-Threatening
immediate and drastic military
action, Japanese commanders to-
day warned North China authori-
ties there must be no compromise
over Japan'S demands for ceSsa-
ton Of alleged frontier terrorism.
Irrespective of the Nanking
governments intentions of allevi-
ating the situation, Japanese
newspapers said, swift and serious
developments are to be looked for
when Japanese troops cross the
demilitarized zone south of the
Great Wall to remove antagonis-
tic elements.
, Army To Act promptly
Dispatches from Peiping said
chat Col. Takahashi Sakai, head
OF Japanese operatins in North
China, formally notified Gen. Ho
Ying- Ching, Chinese war minister,
that every demand Of the Japa.
neSe must be satisfied in full
that Japan will not bulge an inch
in her position.
The japanese army, Colonel
Sakai said, is determined to take
immediate action lin it's own
way"-which was taken to mean
the army would strike first and
consult Tokyo afterwards.
So serious has the situation be-
come that Gen. Yu Hsueh- Chung,
governor of Hopei Province, is re-
ported to have removed his pro-
Vincial capital to Paoting.
Dismissal Demanded
His dismissal is said to be one
Of Japan's IA demands.
A long list of grievances that
China must remedy promptly was
listed today by a government
spokesman, who charged the Chi
nese government with fostering
terrorism against Japan and Man
Chukuo. He said:
"The Kwantung Japanese
ContinentaD army, Send ding
forces into the demiIitarized
zone to fight Chinese bandits
found that their leaders were
under the direction of Peiping
and Tientsin authorities.

THE courage and fighting strength
of working class women have
been spectacularly demonstrated on
thousands of picket lines through
out the country this past year.
Many workers, perhaps for the
first time, have become deeply con-
cerned with the organization OF
working class women. To them
comes the realization that these
women who took part in the flying
squadrons" and other heroic work
ing class actions, must be organ
lied 50 that they become fighters
clearly class conscious, as well as
militant.
How to approach these women
workers. What shall we tell them7
How shall we bring to them the re-
lationship of their struggle to the
struggle of the entire working class
for its permanent freedom from ex-
! ploitation?
Now, shortly before international
Women's Day, Workers Library
Publishers has published four little
pamphlets" that answer these ques-
tons. Wide discussion of these
pamphlets will inevitably follow
their distribution.

An "Unwanted StepchiId"

EXCEPT for the mechanical prostitutes paraded
in the big circulation slick and pulp magazines
capitalist publishers always have treated the short
story as an unwsnted stepchild High brow pub
Hcations use only two or three issue. Occa-
sionally under the tainted auspices Of subsidies,
a few rickety stories were Graded in periodicals
of the 'exiles' hardly known beyond the Left Bank
Majorca and Greenwich Village. Like the
Bohemian denounced commercial stories, these ex-
perimental tales were formula products Of intel
lectual despair. There was the disllusioned child
tale in which the youngster learned that papa
mamma or big sister was promscuous. There was
the childless woman recipe the misunderstood and
inartculate girl the tough guy who suddenly real
lied that life was mouthful Of ashes, etc.
Not until the writer's Of the proIetariat, nour
shed in the revolutionary movement, finally sought
an audience in the vanguard of their own class,
did the American short story develop muscles and
begin to assume its deserved stature.
your Little Red Library pamphlet, The Damned
Agitstol and Other Stories was model to us who
were drawn to the movement with the birth of the
monthly New Masses in 1926 Through the years
of the Passaic, Sacco- Vanzetti, Gastonia and I'M
employment struggles you encouraged the group
who we're later to found The Anvil, the pioneer pro-
letarian fiction magazine
Together with Walt Cannon you published in
New Masses the first sketches of George Milburn
Jack Conroy, Joseph Kalar, H. H. Lewis Langston
Hughes and many others. But as the monthly
New Masses was then the sole revolutionary cul-
tural periodical it could not devote much space to
fiction.
