them, his huge shoulders hunched, his
SCARED face scowling darkly.
"Joel!" he growled as he sp-
preached the group. Uncle Joel
swung about, and Bill saw that he
seemed to cover at the Captains
voice. Captain Gregg stomped up
to them and planted himself directly
in front of Uncle Joel.
Il thought you had too much to do
to be wasting time out here" he
rasped.
But you see," Uncle Joel faltered,
II hadn't seen william, and +"
Capt. Gregg grasped Uncle Joel
roughly by the arm. Come inside"
he commanded. I'VE have important
work to do"
Bills temper had been simmering as
he watched the actions of Capt. Gregg.
Now it boiled over.
But look here!" he burst out, TAX
ing a quick step forward. What
right have you got to be ordering
Uncle Joel around? Who do you think
you are, anyway"
Capt. Gregg turned like an animal
at bay, while his face worked with
fury.
Hold your tongue, you young fool!"
he screamed.
"I won't hold my tongueI" Bill cried,
clenching his fists. "I1l-"
He dimly saw Capt. Gregg raise his
heavy cane. Betty screamed. Tuck
leaped forward, caught Bill by the
shoulders, and yanked him out Of the
way before the blow could fall.
Let me go!" Bill howled, struggling
frantically in Tuck's firm grip. He
can't"
Bill stopped. Standing before him
was wambi, his dark eyes glittering
dangerously, his hand resting signifi-
cantly on his belt. Bill gulped, while
the rage drained out Of him. He stood,
helpless, while Capt. Gregg led Uncle
Joel into the house. Then Wambi
turned and moved quickly and noise
lessly away.
"Oh!" gasped Betty. 'Wambi had
q knife. I saw the handle in his belt. !"
Bill was almost sick with impotent
rage He burst into an angry TRADE
against Capt. Gregg, but Tuck gripped
his shoulder.
Steady" said Tuck. Getting sore
won't help matters any"
But that man is unbearable" Bill
fumed. I'm not going to let him get
away with thatl"
Please, Bill" Betty's voice was
trembling. I'm afraid you've already
made a mistake in getting him angry.
He sees that your presence here is a
threat to his control over Uncle Joel
This Is the first time Uncle Joel has
shaken of his influence for even a
minute since he came. And I can
guess what that will mean. There
will be another ceremony in the Sum-
merhouse tonight-and tomorrow Un-
Gle Joel will be in worse shape than
ever"
Bill subsidized, realizing that antag-
onizing Capt. Gregg at present might
only be harder on Uncle Joel.
But we've got to do something,
he insisted. This can't go on much
longer. We've got to get Capt. Grege
and Wambi out of here!"
But how?" Tuck demanded
That's the problem"
They discussed the situation for a
long time. Betty was obviously un-
strung by the events Of the morning
and Bills face was lined with worry
os he watched her nervous gestures
and listened to her high-pitched voice
Abruptly he changed his tactics.
"Weil, maybe we're just making
things worse than they are" he said
optimistically. Lets wait and SEE
what happens tonight. Maybe today
was the turning point, and Uncle, Joe
will start getting out Of Capt. Gregg
clutches from now on"

Cardinals Red Hat
Signifies Readiness
Defend Church

THE cardinals of the Catholic
Church are the members Of the
Sacred College who rank next in i'm
portance to the Pope. They are ap-
pointed by the Pope and are privileged
to help him in the management OF
affairs pertaining to the church.
Since 1245 the cardinals have worn
hats of brilliant red. At that time
an important council was held at
Lyons in France, and Pope Innocent
VIII bestowed upon the cardinals
their red hats. The color signifled
that they should always be ready to
shed their blood in defense Of the
church.
At that period It meant especially
the defense of the church against the
Emperor Frederick II of Germany,
who had just been deposed by his
subjects. This disloyalty had been
pardoned by the Pope and the council;
therefore the cardinals were expected
to share In this affair.

ROBERTS, PLAN.
STUDIED

Most discussed Of the proposals
for subways in the District of Co
lumbia is a plan submitted by
Peoples Counsel william A. Rob-
erts.
Under this proposal, an east-west
underground tube, carrying street
cars, would stretch along the line
Of e Street from Judiciary Square
to about Twenty-first Street.
Feeding this principal tube,
which would remove many troll
leys from the downtown area.
would be a line UP Fourteenth
Street to point beyond Thomas
Circle and another up Seven
teenth Street and Connecticut
Avenue to a point beyond Dupont
Circle.
The plan is the result of much
study for a feasible method Of
speeding transportation, and pro-
viding greater safety and beauty
for downtown streets by leaving
most of them strictly to automo-
biles and pedestrians.

PEIPING, March % CU.s0.
Fleeing before the advance Of

American refugees from the en-
battled areas trickled into Peip-
ing In Increasing numbers today.
Among them were Mrs. Dorothy
T. Schiffley Meyer, Of Washing
ton, and her three children.
Alarm grew over the safety OF
Americans in Fenchow, important
city southwest Of Peiping, when
an official communiQue. issued
here, said the residents Of that
city were virtually marooned as
the Communist hordes cut all
telegraph. and highway commu-
nicationS.
May Spare City
Fenchow, however, may be
saved from attack since the Red
armies appear headed in a north
eaSterly direction, apparently in
tending to pass by the city.
The Communist forces, fight
ing their way through detach-
ments of provincial troops, were
reported to be only 10 miles from
Taiku. Seven American refugees,
including four children, arrived
here from Taiku tonight, report
ing they could hear the sound Of
cannon fire as loyal troops strove
to halt the invaders.
The city itself was being
guarded by 1000 soldiers under
command of Gen. Shang Chen,
who assured the American resi-
dents, most of them missionaries
attached to the American Board
Mission, of protection so long as
they remain within the town.
Cannon Fire Near

for three days they could hear

virtue of an excellent amateur

and Johnny Routson. of the Rich

after three fast rounds.
Benny Leonard, former light
weight champion of the world
and now retired undefeated light

We're strong through the mid
die Of the diamond, namely,

Berger in Centerfield, and pretty
good pitching"
I don't think I caught that quite
right, but that's what it sounded
like. What he meant, I'm sure,
is that he'll need good pitching
to carry a club like this, with an
infield that averages around .260.

time in recent years looks very
much on the old Saskatoon.

In addition, there's q few more

spots; Scott and Lanning from

won 81 for Nashville, etc. But, as
q staff, It's still unimpressive, con-
sidering all the hitting it won't
get.
The outfield isn't so bad. Ber-
ger fell away last year to .295, but
Hal Lee came UP to 1903 and
Johnny Tyler was around long
enough to hit for $40. In addi.
tion, there's Gene Moore, who
started for the Cardinals last year
and probably viii start for the
Bees this year. McKechnie, I gath
cred. is inclined to be high on the
young man.
Rupert Thompson, by the way,
is still with US, but I'm not GER
tain whether this can be construed
as an announcement or an untima-
tum. He hit only .2T2. Ed Nor
iarty, who came up last year
long enough to hit 1924, may be
shifted to the infield just to rouse
those boys from their profound
stupor.
Cuccinello, for instance, hit .24S
for Brooklyn, but hits for distance
