by HONORE MORROW

Charles, already you hare given her up
LOngfellow's voice was gentle.
Sumner suddenly came to his feet with
roar. Never! Never To have and to hold!
My darling, my wife and my bride! You
don't realize her capacity for love in spite of
her enchanting delicacy. Henry, when was
wooing her, was hopeless. knew. | knew
her love was not for me. And then, out of the
blue, she came to me. She put her arms
around my neck. Her slender. exquisite body
melted against my great bulk She was mine
She is mine
Charles sank back into his chair My short
marriage" he added, brokenly, has been
thing of living beauty"
Longfellow spoke eagerly. Beauty If you
would keep it, you must give it up! She has
given you perfection of joy! Such joy cannot
survive Cur gross human grip. Clutch it and
you destroy it. Be grateful to Alice dear
Charles. Love her forever and set her free
Only so will her gift to you remain unsullied"
Sumner closed his eyes and opened them to
say, Then I'm dead; dead as poor Lincoln
was few short months ago, on that borrowed
pillow, stained with his own blood"
NO. exclaimed Henry you've actually

begun to take on immortality, for you've
experienced beauty! The only difference be-
tween heaven and earth is the difference
between knowing and not knowing how to
hold beauty. In the degree that we experience
beauty without destroying it, do we under
stand God. And once we understand Him, we
live as the angels live"
Charles knew that sometime Henry's
words would return to him as lighted candles
in a night of backness. But now he scarcely
needed any save the phrase, Love her for
ever and set her free Aye, that was the
thought which would carry him through the
bitter task His love did not depend on Alice's.
He had loved her long, long before she had
cared for him. His love was an immutable fact.
Her going could not take one iota from it, mar
its completeness sully its loveliness - oh, its
bright loneliness!
He brought his gaze back to Longfellows
anxious face Henry" he said. II know
that she doesn't love me- not because she said
she didn't but because she sneered at me
there in the gallery. You don't sneer at one
you love. I'll not keep her youth chained to
me. I'll let her go - and God help me-"
He will said Henry, his hand on his
friends.
Charles went slowly down the path and
mounting turned his horse homeward

rode the miles to Cambridge. There was but
one human being to whom he could turn, only
one who could and would explain things to
him; this was Henry Longfeow.
The poet was sitting alone on his piazza.
4 lamp on the table beside him lighted the
manuscript on which he was at work, al d
etched his noble head in black and white He
eyed Sumner keenly as his friend sank into
chair. Are you i'll, Charles?'
Charles reply was to tell him of the occur
rences of the past six hours. When he had
finished, the poet said, grimly, There been
gossip about her"
Any gossip about Alice is a damnable lie,
Charles voice was deliberate. Il who knou
her have only admiration for her What made
her cease to love me, Henry"
In all their years of intimacy, Longfellow
never had seen Sumner lose self-control There
was no outward sign now of breakup. yet
Henry knew that the deliberate voice held a
tornado in leash. But he set his teeth and
thrust the knife deep.
Though you are still in your fifties, you are
old enough to be her father. The gamor OF
your fame swept her off her feet But when the
honeymoon madness was over, she came back
to reality and saw the wrong of the marriage
as we've all seen it: the old eagle and the
Young bird of paradise. You must give her up,

Sumner stared into Henrys face You

Officially notified that his re-

proved by the WPA and President
Roosevelt, Health Officer George
c. Rutland today began laying
plans for an extensive case-finding
survey to uncover what he esti-
mates to be 5000 hidden cases of
tuberculosis in the Nations Cap
ital.
Conference with physicians of
the District Medical Association,
selected to work with him in the
drive, will be held at 8 p. m. Mon
day. Other meetings are sched-
uled with citizens associations,
Board of Public Welfare officials,
and other cooperating agencies.
DR.. Rutland will draw upon the
local relief rolls for IS case work
ers, who will be assigned to make
a house-to-houSe canvass in Sec
tions of the city where the spread
of the white plague" is known
to be of high percentage. In ad-
dition to the funds from the
WPA, the campaign expenses will
be supplemented by $4,000 from
the local organization for the pre-

FUNDS DELAY
PUT UP TO
PRESIDENT
Grant for Construction
Held Up by Recent
PWA Restrictions

Senator William H. King CD
Of Utah went to the White House
today in an effort to cut through
the red tape that is holding up
construction of the small courts
unit in q proposed municipal
center.
He was accompanied by Frederic
A. Delona, chairman of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
At the close of the last session
of Congress the District was au-
thorized to use a portion of a
grant from the Public Works Ad.
ministration in building these
courthouSeS. These buildings
would include Police, Juvenile,
and the Municipal courts.
Grant Held Up
Although the sum of approx
mately $2,900,000 was authorized
for the construction work, the
actual grant has been held up be-
cause of restrictions recently
placed on PWA work by the Ad-
ministration.
Curtailment of the total amount
of money to be used in a country
wide PWA project has made it in
creasingly difficult for the District
as we'll as the States to get the
actual cash to begin operations.
Another obstacles facing the
grant to the District is the fact
that a strict restriction as to the
amount of money to be used for
labor per man, as we'll as material,
runs afoul of the payroll problem
presented under the provision Of
the Bacon-Davis act in effect here.
Under these provisions the pre-
vailing wage of the municipality
must be paid. 1t is believed the
labor restrictions of the PWA
would make it impossible to pay
enough to get the construction
work finished.
Seeks Presidents Aid
Senator King is vitally inter
ested in relieving the cramped
conditions under which the small
courts operate in the District.
Backed by the District Commis-
sioners, the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and the
Citizens Associations, he Spon-
sored authorization of the grant.
Now that subsequent obstacles
have arisen to the construction he
is meeting with the President to-
day to iron out the difficulties if
possible,

Her Suicide Plan

There was a silver lining today
in the dark clouds which recently
have enshrouded Mrs. Mildred
Meredith. 26-year-old housewife, of

There was a smile on her face
as she went about her work.
It was not so yesterday. She
was depressed. Her father is not

Meredith. explained today that
her fathers illness had been prey
ing on her mind.
So she went to the Tidal Basin

and jumped in.

Before leaving the house, she
penned a note to her husband in
which she mentioned suicide, ="

But the watery bed she had pro

STUDIES
AIRPORT WIRE
PROBLEM
Flying Field Officials
Request Removal Of
Hiqh Tension Lines

Engineers of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company today were
studying the problem of removing
high-tension power lines close to
the Washington Airport, long re-
garded as q serious hazard to
flying.
A formal request that the lines
and telephone cables at the south
ern boundary of the flying field
be removed was made to the
company by airport officials yes
terday.
At the office Of DR.. William
Mcclellan, president of the power
company, it was said this request
had been placed in the hands
of company engineers for study
and recommendation as to the
best solution of the problem.
Plea to Commission
Meanwhile, insisting that this
hazard must be eliminated, Off
cials of the Bureau of Air Com
merce announced that they had
asked the Virginia State corpora
ton commission to determine
whether the poles carrying the
lines are on public or private prop
erty.
If it is shown that the poles are
on public lands, solution of the
problem will be simple, it was said,
as they may be removed and un-
derground conduits constructed as
part of the Works Progress Ad.
miniStration program.
Will Urge Project
John S. Wynne. chief Of the
airport division Of the bureau,
explained the bureau is ready to
recommend to the PWA that
funds be made available for this
purpose and that men would be
taken from the relief rolls to do
the work under supervision of
State and Government engineers.
If the poles are on private
property. however. he explained,
court action probably would be
necessary before the poles could
be removed unless the utilities
company agrees to do the work.
