SYNOPSIS

Jeb Braddon, young and Enthusiastically
successful broker of Chicago, is infat-
uated with Agnes Gleneith, beautiful
daughter of a retired manufacturer.
Rodney, a doctor, in loves with Agnes,
visits his brother, Jeb. Rod plans work
at Rochester. Jeb suggests that he
make a try for Agnes before leaving.
In Rod there is a deeper obstinate
decency than in Jeb. Agnes believes
to be happy, a girl must bind herself
entirely to a man and have adorable
babies. E.od visits Agnes and tells her
of his great desire, but realizes it can
never be fulfilled. Agnes mother is at
tempting to regain her husbands love.
Agnes has disturbing doubts as to what
attracts her father in New York. 'Jeb
tells Agnes he is going to marry her,
and together they view an apartment
in Chicago. Jeb asks Agnes to set an
early date, but she tells him she can
not marry him. When the agent, Mr..
Colver offers to show them furnished
apartment, Jeb asks Agnes to see 1T
alone, saying he must return to his
Office. Agnes consents and Jeb leaves.
A radio is blaring terrifically from one
of the apartments. ColVer raps upon
the door, which is opened by scantily
clad girl, who draws Agnes into the
room. Colver finds her husband, Charles
LOTTlS, fatally SHOl. ne GIRLS the pOiiSS.
Myrtle Lorrie asks Agnes to phone
Cathal O'Mara, a lawyer. to come at
once. Agnes does. The police take
charge. OMara arrives. The officers are
antagonistic to him. Agnes sides with
O'Mara. Agnes is to be witness at the
coming trial. Cathars grandfather and
father had lost their lives in the line
of duty as city firemen, and his grand
mother, Winnie, has built her all around
Cathal, who, being ambitious, had
worked his way through law school
and, needing the appeal of the desper-
ate and the despised cause, has commit
ted himself to the defense of criminal
cases. Thoughts of Agnes disturb Cathal.
Mr.. Lorrie had cast off the wife who
had borne him his daughter to marry
Myrtle, and after two years of welded
life she had killed him. The coroner's
jury holds Myrtle to the grand jury.
Agnes promises O'Mara to review the
case with him.

aloud, as she looked at him.
She liked him; she had liked him
from the instant she saw him enter
Myrtle's apartment, where the police
already were. The people in the court
room would like him; the jury would
like him.
The tall clock in the hall surprised
Agnes with its deep, booming stroke
of five; the sun, unregarded, had cut
its dimming radiance half across the
room. 1t caught Cathars head. and
Agnes observed that his hair was not,
as she had thought, black, but au-
burn of so deep a hue that only the
direct sun brought out the red in it,
He had very nice hair; and he had
better hands, in strength and shape,
than any other man she knew-except
Rod. His eyes were as blue as Agnes
knew her own to be- This lawyer
had eyes that could be COOL competent,
practical; and then you could catch
him looking away like dreamer,

The Real
Issue

whether the steel industry shall be
unionized. 1t is a question of how
it Shall be unionized. In addition
to this, Mr.. Lewis has been chisel-
ing away for several years in
promoting his labor union idea of
organizing all workers III one unit
instead of the craft union idea that
is basic in the American Fedora
ton of Labor. That is to say, Mr..
Lewis proposes to have a steel un-
ion or a shipbuilding union or tex
tile union instead of organizing the
workers in accordance with the
particular jobs they do, whether
they be engineers, painters, car
penters, moulders or any one of
the various other crafts.
Since the steel industry has its
company unions, there is a con-
viction in many quarters that Mr..
Lewis might well pause to consider
whether this is the time to carry
forward his program of bringing
steel workers under national labor
union control. There are those who
believe tbs. the company unions

BALTIMORE SET FOR FOOTBALL
SEASON

The Football Rally sponsored by
the Baltimore Junior Association of
Commerce last week was the "kick-
off" of the Baltimore football season
at the big Municipal Stadium. The
real kickoff will be when Yale comes
down with her thousands of Yankee
rooters for the inauguration of a new
series of games with the U. S. Naval
Academy. The game will take place
on Saturday, October II, at Balti-
more and indications are that good
crowd will turn out for the spectacle.
At the Rally, which was featured
by the dining of the mascots of Navy,
Yale, Maryland and Notre Dame, the
coaches of all the Maryland colleges
were introduced and had the oppor-
tunity of revealing what they
thought the season promised for
their particular teams. From the
expressions voiced hen the people of
this State can look forward to an in
teresting season of collegiate sport.
Perhaps the most significant state
ment made at the dinner was that of
Captain R. C.. Giffen, Director of
Athletics at the Naval Academy. He
announced that Adfiral David F. Sell
lers, Superintendent of the Academy,
would consider all gaes pmlayed in
the Baltimore Stadium as ''home
games" This means that the mid
dies presence at the Yale game on
October II and the Notre Dame on
November Z would not be counted as
leaving the Academy grounds. The
announcement was greeted with con-
siderable jubilation as this particu-
lar subject has been deliberated upon
time and again by the authorities at
the institution on the Severn and 1t
is really feather in the hat of the
Baltimore groups promoting the col
lege football games in the Municipal
Stadium.
In addition to the two Navy games
at the Baltimore Stadium, the fol-
lowing contests are schedules: West
ern Maryland vs.. st. Marys' of Tex
as; Quantico Marines VS.. Baltimore
Firemen; Baltimore City College VS..
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute; Uni
versity of Maryland vs.. Washington
Lee, and the climax of Maryland
ootball-University of Maryland VS..
Western Maryland.

KITES

Benjamin Franklin once said, 1--WE
are more heavily taxed by idleness,
pride and folly than we are taxed by
the government" He was saying
that sparetime is valuable and should
be used to some advantage. Frank
lin was keen observer-this was
probably his outstanding character
istic and in flying the kite he was
quick to recognize atmospheric cleo
tricity. This single discovery brought
him memberships in all of the learn
ed societies of Europe. Faraday's
electricity has taken it's toll Of young
sters whose kites have tangled on
high tension wires.
Kite building is major business
in America with at least twenty
manufacturers producing all styles
of flying sticks. Home kite build
ing is only matter of choice and
arrangement of materials, and care
in balancing which is accomplished
mainly by adjusting the bride or
the tail. The famous war kite is
built knock-down style and flies
without a tail. 1t can be unharnes-
sed and rolled into bundle three
inches in diameter by five feet long
for easy transportation. Heavy
gloves are needed to protect the
hands from the tugging line.
Kite flying is to the Japanese
what horse racing is to the English
and baseball to Americans. Ths
highest honor Japanese can re-
ceive is the medal of the Order of
the Golden Kite. It is the national
pasttime of the Chinese and from
these two nations, we get our strang-
est and most interesting kite designs.
Most of the Oriental kites are orna-
mental while the American war kite
has been used on many occasions
to carry life lines in cases of disaster.
The Army and Navy use kites for
signaling, picture taking and occas-
sionally, a man is sent aloft to make
observations. Kites are used regu-
larly by the Weather Bureau to send
recording instruments into the upper
air strata. Piano wire is used for
string and four miles is the highest
elevation reached up to the present
time. Power winders are used to
bring the big flyers back to earth.
The kite, no doubt, takes its name
from the graceful sky sailing bird,
the Swallow-Tailed Kite. Kites are
always up at Ocean City during the
summer season. California, Florida
and New Jersey are the best known
kite flying states. Recently several
fairs have sponsored kite flying con-
tests. The national record is thirty
eight hours but this is expected to be
broken at the next national contest.
Working plans for building FIVE
foot war kite designed by VIM. L.
Hull, widely known for his high fly
ing kites, will be sent for a two cent
stamp.

door hobby riding.

THE BEAUTY OF SILENCE

by
UNA CLINGAN RANDS
Oh, for the beauty of silence,
Apart from the maddening din,
The hiss and honk of the cars with
out
And the radio within,
The eternal, Internal radio,
That keeps up a continuous din!
Not listening with bated breath
To hear an exquisite strain;
Or words of wisdom from great men,
That stir the heart with sweet
pain;
But the primitive jazzing of tom
toms,
The weather report, or the boys
1t matters not SO it doesn't stop,
But keeps up a continuous noise.
Just a background for clatter and
chatter.
And the daily roar and rush;
Perhaps they fear to lose their souls
In a momentary hush.
AS the little people around the world
Will not waken a person from
sleep.
Lest the soul aroam will not find its
way home,
To the body it should keep.
Oh, for the beauty Of silence,
Alone on hilltop l know,
Where the whispering winds in the
tree-tops,
But accent the stiffness below.
My turmoiled brain might grow Sc
rene,
My soul regain it's poise,
In one blessed hour, alone-on-the-
hill,
Away from the maddening noise.

HEAVEN
EVANGELIST JOHN MOSES BAKER
Baltimore, Maryland

Within that city wondrous fair,
Eternal life is everywhere.
Beauty far and wide is spread;
None slumber with the silent dead.
Within those jasper walls so bright,
There is no darkness, all is light
Beyond description, grander far;
And nothing can its glory mar.
Saved by Gods redeeming grace,
They look upon His holy face;
Sing together around the throne,
In heaven, their eternal home.
The glories of heaven will never grow old;
In the language of earth it can never
be told;
No man can number the throng that
is there;
Never a burden and never care.
