academy; no reason why he couldn't get
away with it again. The weather was bit of
luck. On blustery morning like this, trench
coat would be in order
Quickly he wrapped one purple pajama leg
around an ankle and rammed his foot into
boot. A minute later he was folding over the
lapels of his gabardine and buttoning it
tightly as he ran down the steps.
He swung into the company street, walking
briskly, but with shortened stride. The coat
reached only five inches below his boot tops
Enough if he were careful. He returned the
sergeant's salute snappily, confident in the
knowledge that he at least looked regulation
He read the order on equipment to be
carried during the Armistice Day parade,
and dismissed them for mess just as big
khaki-colored sedan rolled up behind him. He
gasped when he saw the stars on the radiator.
The rear door on his side opened.
"Glad we caught you, Lieutenant. Jump
in. want you as my aide-de-camp at the
dedication this morning" The Generals
voice was crisp, authoritative. Midge was
smiling over his shoulder.
"B-b-but, Sir. l :. l 80"
Quite all right. Lieutenant. I've made
arrangements to have you relieved. Come on;
we have to hurry"

Barry climbed in stiff1y, like an old man
with rheumatism Fortunately, no splash of
purple showed at his knees He groaned
audibly as he pulled up the robe. Midge
slipped her arm through his, but Barry was
too preoccupied to notice. He was fool not
to insist upon the five minutes it would have
taken him to dress. What if it was old EAT
em-up" Erskine! After all an officer had some
rights Switch a fellows duties around on
minutes notice Yank him about like
cavalry horse. Swell army this was! Swell!
BY the time they were past the post gates
on their way to Washington, Barry was
thinking little more sanely He could still
get away with it. Sure! Why not? Tag along
like poodle dog. Look wise. Help the Gen
impress the. foreign brass hats with his i'm
portance Be tough though, if he got caught
by old "Eat-em-up."
A West Pointer with thirty years of service
and three wars behind him, Erskine was
famous as the Army's most enthusiastic
disciplinarian. To him the Army was the
greatest institution in the country, and he
expected every man in it to think the same.
He was soldier from his spurs to his hat
cord, and he never forgot it for moment.
A voice broke in on Barys thoughts "The
dedication is going to be dry as dust" Midge

Luncheon! There's to be luncheon?"
Certainly there's luncheon. told you
last night, and I'm dying to see what it will

She waited a long minute but Bary's
eyes never left the back of the chauffeur's
neck.
Il said, do you think they'll serve us
foreign dishes?' She nudged him with her
elbow.
Barry gmted ''yes" without even regis
tering her question.
After several more unsuccessful attempts
at conversation, Midge became annoyed.
After all, he had her to thank for getting out
of maneuvers, and here he was acting as
though he were on the way to his own court
martial.
Midge was proud of the way she had
worked the thing out, all the result of her
father remarks at breakfast. He had jumped
her about late hours. and she had laughed it
off - the best way of handling him.

THREE PLANS TO
 BRING BACK NRA

Washington, June 2s-(U.P.) - Three separate plans prepared by industry and labor groups for per- manent legislation to revive the blue eagle at this session of con- gross will be placed before Pres ident Roosevelt this weekend. The American Federation of Labor has prepared Q plan to license all inter- state business under new MIRA codes with tho force of law behind them. The commerce department business advisory council will sub- init q far more conservative pro- posal.
 A compromise middle of the road" program Is being drafted tho construction industry and associat- cd manufacturers and materials producers. Its sponsors claim 1t will provide permanent institu- ton of business regulation within the supreme court decision knock ing out MIRA codes. Based on the presumption that all major bus- mess is interstate, the proposed compromise would provide new maachinery for collecting detailed facts on industrial operations. Firms challenging tho law would be forced to prove their operations were interstate,

Wills Entire Estate To Sweetheart Wife

The will of the late Charles IL. Denehy, formerly one of the outstanding sportsmen of the city and official of the Chase Companies, Inc, was admitted to probate to-day by Judge Dennis J. Slavin. Mir. Dcnehy drew the will himself October $, 1923 on n plain piece of paper and his express sions in the document are en- tirely typical of him, his close friends agree.
 The document, printed ver- batim, reads, GAS I am to en. ter a hospital to-day toeundcr- TO one of these so.called minor operations which sometimes are very successful only for the fact that the patient died, I, being of sound mind, declare this to be my only will, and all persons interested, shall be governed accordingly.

Led by Commander Frederick w. Rowe and William Awkward, official delegates, Waterbury's Yam kee division members began today to leave the city for the annual convention of the 26th division op- enlng at New Haven today and continuing tomorrow and Sunday. A good part of the local contingent planned to be at New Haven for the opening festivities today and this evening, while the rest of the members will wait until tomorrow morning to make the trip by bus.
 More than 10000 members of the 26th division of which tho three Waterbury companies were Q part in the World war were ex- pected in the Elm City for, the convention. The Waterbury compa- nies, making up the 102nd regi- ment had the distinction of being the first American outfit to have its flag decorated by the allies in the great war.
 The Waterbury members will stay at the Hotel Garde in New Haven during the three-day con- vention. Acquaintances will be re- newed that in some cases were for gotten in France, when the boys assemble this evening. The pro- gram will get off to big start today when Q huge clambake and fishfry will be staged at Lighthouse Point. A stag party for the men with "reminiscences of war time days Is the big feature for to- nights program.
 A sham air raid in which air planes will bomb" the city will be one of the outstanding spectacles of the convention tonight. The planes will drop calcium flares in place of bombs.
 The planes will dive from a height of 10000 feet to skim the city. The plans will be fought" by anti-aircraft guns, all firing blank ammunitiin, and depending on powerful air searchlights to guide them in the battle.

PROTEST MEETING
 SPEAKERS INVITED
Residents of North End to Discuss Playground
 Conditions

Tn an attempt to increase the in- terest among the residents of tho north end community in regards the move for improvement of the Division street playground, the only recreational center in that section, the North End Community club will hold meeting tonight at St. Pauls church.
 Judge John r. McGrath and ex. Senator Joseph Hackett will appear in the interests of the children who are seeking 0 suitable play ground for the pursuance of their summer activities. They will be the principal speakers at the meot- ing tonight. Rev. William D. Dick inson of St. Paul's church will con- duct the proceedings.
 Complaints far too numerous to be overlooked have been registered against present conditions existing in the playground. Previous com- plaints necessitated the removal of the boysf rom their spot of recrea ton and this move was not at all well received by the unfortunate youngsters.
 The Community club is seeking cooperation enough so that their move for 0 higher fence, the re- placement of dirt and cinders with grass will be enforced. This move and the restriction of ball games to the soft ball type ought to prove the necessary remedy, according to those residing in that district and sponsoring the improvement drive.
 Another purpose behind the drive for better playground is to decrease the juvenile delinquency which is prevalent in the north end section. With pleasant cen- ter of recreation in their midst 1t Is doubtful that the youngsters will spend their time out of the streets getting into mischief.

Return From ENJOYABLE Visit


Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Cunningham
arrived home Friday from Fremont,
o., where they had visited three
weeks with their daughter and SON.
in-law Mr.. and Mrs. G.. r. Cooper.
Mr.. and Mrs Cooper brought them
home. and returned at once to Ere
mont. where Mr.. Cooper is engaged
in teaching.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cunningham had a
very pleasant visit which included
side trips to Blue Hole, Green
Springs and other unique and in
teresting places. The Blue Hole is
a most extraordinary artesian
spring. 1t is located at Castalia,
O.. six miles west of Sandusky, on
state route 101. 1t was named az
ter a celebrated fountain in Greece,
and has an interesting history dat
ing back to the time of an Indian
village of Castalia; and the early
settlers of the middle west, more
than hundred years ago would
travel miles to see the Blue Hole.
1t is stated that the depth of it is
unknown. It's source is in an un-
derground river, and it maintains a
temperature of 48 degrees, winter
and summer. The volume of water
flowing from spring is seven mil
lion gallons daily, sufficient to sup
ply city Of $4,000, but the water
is dead-and fish will not live in
the water emitted from the spring
until it is aerated by passing over
water falls.
The Blue Hole and the park ad-
iacent are marvelously beautiful
and wonderful and attract many
visitors.
Mr.. Cunningham was delighted
also with the sight of the many
prosperous looking and wonderful
farms in that section of the state
and took particular note of the i'm
mense crops of fine apples.
