I'm going home, mother. I'm tax
ing the midnight train. I'll arrive
before Ed leaves for work in the morn

Silence and stufYy air greeted her
when she unlocked the door Of her
home. Her husband was not there.
He hadn't been there for some time,
she concluded, looking around. There
was weeks dust on the furniture.
Immediately she went to the tele-
phone and called Eds ONCE. An early
arrival informed her that Mr.. Fielding
had left week ago on his vacation
and would not be back for another
week.
Where did he go?" she inquired
further.
I'VE don't know" said her in
formant.
Well, who would know? She asked
herself this question again and again;
and each time the answer that rushed
to her brain was: Blondi Blond
hussy!
Fervidly she ransacked every gar.
ment her husband had left behind.
And again found only his spurious
love letter to deepen her dissppoint-
ment.
But what's this?"
She espied a folded scrap Of paper
on her husbands dresser. Avidly she
snatched it up. "TriMe-Greenlake
2434." was the notation it bore.
''Trixie is the hussy!" she cried, and
the color rose in her cheeks. MY
suspicious are confirmed. And what's
more. he's taken her with him on his
vacation. I'll call her number and
make sure!"
"Ya vat iss it?" A deep male
voice answered her call, speaking with
pronounced German accent.

There were two full pages OF the
most saccharin confessions she had
ever read: and between the lines were
couched intimacies that burned her
cheeks She was ready to shrek out
when suddenly the evidence in her
hands melted. The last paragraph
was addressing her:
"Suzan," it began, II hope you've
enjoyed my love letter-to myself.
It cost me the price of box Of candy
to get it copied in this woman's
hand"
Flushed with conflicting emotions,
she stuffed the letter back into his
pocket. Then, on second thought.

ing room and threw it on the table
before her husband.

funny, Ed Fielding?" she snapped.
"Or wool you're trying to pull over
my eyes to keep me from seeing the
real thing?"
Her husband gulped down a mouth
full of coffee and chokingly enjoyed
the laugh he had coming at her ex-
pense.
Just a reward, darling, for the
trouble you've taken to search my
pockets every day for the last three
years." he said significantly.
She slashed him to pieces with her
eyes. He wiped his lips with his nap
kin and met her glare frankly. "But
I'll promise not to plant another-if
you'll promise not to look for it," he
added candidly.
I'm no fool" she shrieked.
"But why hound me with your con-
slant suspicious? I've never given you
any grounds for it. You're letting

Why don't you 60 down to Springfield

Two weeks with her mother had
seemed two months. She had spent
them stewing in sour suspicious that
dragged out the days. She would
climb into bed nights and lie there
putting an imaginary two and two
together.
Since she was decided brunette,
she had little trouble proving to her

LONDON
STADIUM FOR
TITLE Dat TIE

LONDON, April Is. WP)-Promo-
ter Walter Rothenburg of Germany
has completed negotiations for
leasing Wembley stadium for a
world heavyweight title bout be-
tween Champion Max Baer and
Max Schmeling it was announced
today. The lease is contingent upon
the promoter being able to sign the
two fighters.
Rothenburg has agreed to pay
Baer 10000 pounds t$290,700 on
which there would be an income
tax of approximately 10000 to $4,000
pounds ($58,140 to $62,985)
In addition there would be an
entertainment tax of 10000 to 30
600 pounds ($96,9O0 to $145,350) on
a capacity house of approximate
ly 100000 persons.
On this basis the bout would be
a failure unless it drew 100000
pounds ($484,5OO, in addition to
which there would be other promo
tional expenditures.
Speculation has arisen as to
whether the German government
is backing Rothenburg. 1t is ru-
mored that the champions purse
would be guaranteed by the Ger
man government for propaganda
purposes, in the belief that Schmel-
ing would regain the title for Ger
many.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

Rain and the Los Angeles An
gels, unbeaten in eight starts, are
combining to make Pacific Coast
league magnates get out their cry
ing towels and moan the blues un-
usually early this year.
Club-owners see hundreds of
dollars flying away from the box
office through the postponement of
weekend games and the over
whelming manner in which the
Angelenos are wading through all
opposition. The race, as in 1884,
will be over before the other teams
get their second wind if Jack Leli-
velt'S team can maintain its pre-
sent pace.

ny California" in the opening weeks
of the season because of the sup
posedly better weather conditions
prevailing south of the klamath.
But since the start a week ago Sat

ment four times-interferin with
two opening games, four Sunday
doubleheaders, two Saturday games
and two more games yesterday.
Six games of eight scheduled
were played yesterday. In order to
complete their series, Hollywood
and Oakland are meeting today, a
day of rest for the other teams.
Los Angeles made it eight in
row by beating Portland twice in
their Sunday double bill. Emmett
Nelson tossed the champions to an
81 victory in the opener. Herb
Harris, a Los Angeles rookie, pitch
ed the windup and gave the Bea-
vers only four hits for 2-1 win.
Sacramento made it four straight
over the Mission Reds by dropping
Gabby Streets men twice. Paul
Gregory oested Nicholas and Nit:
chell in the first duel, won by the
Senators by a Sd score. Hartwig
was too strong for the Reds in the
second battle giving them four
scattered hits for Al victory.
Lefty Douglas pitched Oakland
to 81 win over Hollywood in a
morning game. The afternoon
meeting was rained out.
The San Francisco Seals got
their best pitching of the season

DISPLAY AT SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION

a great golden shell, nearly so

Buildings ever designed, is being
erected on the grounds of the CAL

to the many special structures
which will house the exhibits of

tails of this unusual building were

company, who said that the Shell
building is an exact copy in giant
proportions of the graceful trade
mark seen at service stations and

Very appropriately, the interest

inside for use as a travel and in
formation bureau, according to
Craig. Trained travel directors will
be in charge to answer questions
about scenic highways, national
parks and other places to see
throughout the west. Road maps,
street maps, hotel and camp infor-
nation. and other travel aids will
be supplied free to all who need
them. The big shell also will be
headquarters for information about
the exposition grounds and attrac-
tionS.
