Everything was over! Now Blinn
would have to know everything. Just
as soon as Moe heard Ada's story, he
would come stamping here to denounce
Dixie. And there wasn't any way of
escape. The only way out of the
theater would make her pass within
three feet of Moe.
Oh, if she could only be sure Blinn

Frantically she dashed out from

concern. "Of course love you. And

was capable of any wild, impetuous
thing.
Maybe she was hunting publicity.
Maybe she had disappeared just to
get her name into the newspapers.
Maybe-maybe-
And Dixie stood in the middle of
all that, with Moe wringing her hands
and telling her he would never forget
what she had done, that he would
make it up to her, that she was a
swell kid, and one Of these days he
would star her in show of her own,
when Dixie looked up and met Blinn
Saybrook's puzzled eyes.
ooh, Blinn!" she cried, and snatch
her hands away from Moe to give
them to him. "Blinn, darling!"
In that moment when the members
Of the cast were backing out of the
door, cycling the stranger curiously,
Dixie heard things that increased her
worries. The last chance that Ada
might think she had oversight was gone
now. If the members of the cast said
the things to Ada that they were say
ing to each other there wasn't the
slightest chance in the world of Dix
les not being punished. And she had
been clinging to the slim hope that
she wouldn't get caught. She realized
that now.
"Dixie knew Ada wasn't going to
show up"

sat around without her costume on

She had to listen. She had to know

Saybrook was holding both her hands
against his lips and saying things that
she had been waiting three months to
hear. And she wasn't hearing them.
And then she remembered that
chorus girl who had jibed at her as
she dashed down to Ada's dressing
room, ooh! Oh! So you knew it all the
time!"
That girl must have known that Ada
wasn't in the theater. She must have
come in late and heard Moe fussing.
No, Dixie Mason hadn't a chance.

her ears buzzing so that she couldn't

Bell asserted that the Old Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd, key Townsend organization, was a "closed corporation" of which "Townsend and Clements are the real owners" He charged that "storekeepers in some towns out west are asked to buy large pie lures of Dr. Townsend and if they don't put them in their windows they may face boycott from Townsend club members" He ad- mitted under questioning that he had no data as to finances of the organization.
 Ferguson testified that he never found a member of congress who is for the original Townsend plan" for S2OO a month for all persons over 60. "Dr. Townsend has tried to sell the people on that idea" he said. But congressman who are said to be for 1t, are actually for the com promise McGroarty bill which would not yield s2OO." Rep. F. E.

Washington, Feb. i4-(UP)-A broadside attack on the Townsend old age pension movement was launched today at house rules committee hearing on resolution to investigate all old age pension organizations. Reps. c. Jasper Bell d., Mo, and Rep. Phil Ferguson, d.. okla, produced documents through which they sought to show need of thorough investigation of the Townsend movement. The commit tee. however, delayed until Monday action on the resolution, which has the support of both republican and democratic leaders.
 Bell, sponsor of the inquiry reso- lution, asserted that in view of the charges made against leaders of the Townsend program "they should be the first to welcome an investiga- ton to determine the truth of the charges" He asserted that huge funds were being received by pr, Francis E. Townsend and his chief aid, R. E. Clements. from wide spread sources. Bell explained his resolution provided for only an in- aulry into financial matters of al- legged old age pension 'rackets". He brought out that an Investigating committee under the resolution would be unable to delve into the economic soundness of either the Townsend plan or any other pen- sion movement.
 He enumerated the following sources of income for the Townsend

 colt Co. Interest Case

In Q ruling of statewide import ance and of national scope in some of its phases, the U. S. Circuit court of Appeals at New York today ruled in favor of the City of Waterbury in 1t action seeking payment of full interest from the Beardsley and WoIcott Manufacturing Company for unpaid taxes. The court holds that interest on unpaid taxes is not Q penalty and that the city is en- titled to collect full statutory inter- est on taxes which were not paid.

 The decision noditles @ ruling by Judge Carroll c. Hincks of the U. s. district court of Connecticut. who had given 8 decision holding that the city's valuation of the property was fair but that interest on un- paid taxes was not collectable since the interest was penalty. Federal bankruptcy courts have also ruled many times in this state that firms in bankruptcy need pay only six per cent interest, or sometimes no interest at all. whereas the statu- tory penalty tax is per cent and 2 per cent.

 Friends said that Barton had lived in the shack for some time and had been employed irregularly at J. J. Hyland's restaurant on Thomaston avenue. He was stretched out fully-dressed on the cot when Patrolman Callahan entered this morning, and there was still strong odor of gasoline fumes in the air. He was apparently overcome as he huddled close to the little heater, seeking to stave of the cold. Barton wcs well-known years ago in the North End section.
