League Council to Deal
With Spanish War

CPAIN'S government appealed to
~ the council of the League of
Nations to deal with the menace to
peace and good will among ma
tons allegedly created by Italo-
German recognition of the fascist
rebel junta. Secretary ]. A. c. Ave
mol thereupon convoked the council,
though at this writing the date for
the meeting is unsettled. 1t was be-
lieved Italy would refuse to attend
the session; Germany is no longer
a member of the league. French
statesmen didn't approve the Span
ish action, feeling that it compli-
Gated an already serious situation
and could do no good.
Excitement over the torpedo at
tack on a loyal Spanish cruiser by a
submarine which the Madrid gov
eminent more than limited was a
German vessel was allayed by the
report that the undersea boat was
a Spanish submarine that had gone
over to the rebel side.
Madrid was being continually
hammered by rebel shells and
bombs, and there was intense fight
ing daily in University City, the
northwest section of the capital,
where the insurgents had penetrat-
ed. The American embassy was
closed on orders from Washington
and Eric c. Wendelin, charge DAT
flares, gave protection to those
Americans who wished to 60 to Va
lencia to board a United States war;
ship. The German and Italian en-
bassies, abandoned by their stats,
were seized and sealed by the de-
tense junta and a number of Fas-
cist refugees were arrested in the
former. Berlin scoffed at this ac-
ton but Rome called it banditry.

and North and South Dakota heard
o. w. Roberts, federal meteorolo-
gist, give the encouraging promise
that greater than normal precipi-
tation is anticipated in those states
next spring on the basis of light pre-
cipitation this fall"
Reports of existing conditions,
however, showed that the situation
is serious. Gov. Walter Wexford, of
North Dakota, told the conference
that water levels throughout his
state are seriously diminished, con-
shutting a major problem for the
state and federal governments.
Another official declared that
North Dakota's live stock situation
is "most deplorable," that virtually
no live stock is left on ranges in
western sections of the state and
that feed is seriously scarce in all
sections.

Crisis Seems to Be Near
in the Simpson Affair"

A PPARENTLY authentic reports
Acome from London saying that
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin has
told King Edward that his marriage
to Mrs. Wally Simpson, if he con-
templates such a move, will not
have the support of the govern
ment or the parliament. Baldwin
is said to have first conferred with
Clement Alice, Labor party leader,
and established a common front OF
Conservative and Labor parties on
their attitude toward this affair. It
was also reported that the king had
been formally requested by MEM
bers of the cabinet and of the peer
age to make known Immediately to
the British public his intentions with
regard to Mrs. Simpson.

keeping meat is a simple matter.
But when summer comes, or warm
spell during the winter, look out.
Rancidness develops. You suddenly
find the meat alive with "skippers,"
or worms. Green mold appears on
1t. Or it dries out and hardens.
Thorough smoking is the only
known way to prevent all these
troubles. But how? Everyone knows
how uncertain the old smokehouse
method is. Other so-called smoking

to hear the call Of the wild on the

"Oh, it's nothing, but speaking

"Haven't the slightest idea. I

Nell raised her hand and wiped
sudden moisture from her fore
head. She said weakly, but with
challenge: Wonder if they are
so smart? They probably cheat
themselves out Of the best-the
very best life offers"
EN- gave her a sharp, alarmed
look. "Just you get thinking that
way, and you'll find yourself in a

mouths in the world right now.
That's one little accident you bet

Nell forced her eyes to meet her
sisters. "You said it, EN-. We're
deep enough without that compli-

She had a moment of stark ter
ror. She saw herself in that home
of Henry Mason's and a child in
her arms, A little hungry, un-
wanted child. She tossed back
her head, feeling defiance, feeling
wild, protecting tenderness. But
that wasn't going to happen. That
couldn't happen, of course. She
took deep hot breathS and walked
swiftly to the subway.
A few days after her conference
with EN-, a distressing thing hap
pened. Nell was to remember it
with bitterness and Shame-aI-
ways:
A note from Ned Hamilton was
laid on her desk. Ned had been
in Mexico City on an extended
vacation. He sent lovely hand
wrought silver tray. He sent post
cards and several fine etchings.
This was Ned's note: Meet me
at the Madison at / o'clock. I have
important news. Allow nothing to
interfere with this appointment
as I will await you. Ned"
She was startled by the notes
imperative tone. She half guessed
what it might mean, But she
could not ignore it.

and escorted her to their table.
She admired the ease with which
he ordered: the immense sophisti'

very dry sherry. Gus-make 1t
that good Amontillado."
He filled the glasses, raised his
and looking in her eyes said hap
PLY: you're prettier, Nell! Not
such a little white ghost as last
year."
Thanks, Mister, but can I go
back to work with the smell OF
liquor on my breathe"
Perhaps you're not going back

A flush streaked to his twin
king brown eyes. He was aware
of it and laughed in a short, self.
conscious way, beginning at once
to tell of his travels. Place in Car

for Is cents. "Cute little ebony
imps! said to the mother,
Make it a dime and I'll take

Then he told Of a survey he was

done that too often. This isn't

'Ned, I can't marry you," said
Nell.
You're worried about your

Just as she would have spoken,
he took a small box from his
pocket and dropped it before her.
He said in covered voice: "Tell

They were silver bracelets,

He said: "An Aztec jeweler made
