TimelesS
The hat is DOTTED to few
like Edith Mccartney. who has
painted "Otome." q figure Of an
Oriental girl holding q piece Of
Oriental sculpture. The work Is
axpertly done, the composition is
beyond reproach and the paint

There Is Eleanor Parke CuStiS,
whose two entries, "Sails" and
'sNew England Homestead" are
the work Of a trained and talented
artist.
Charles Gruppe achieves almost
Corot-like colorS In his along the

RECORD-BREAKING WEEK
OF DIVIDEND DECT APTN1(,

New York, Nov. 21-(AP)-A ris-
ing flow of dollars from industrial,
Golfers into pockets of shareholders
and workers tapered today after q
record-breaking week of dividend de-
clarations.
The year-end purse of investors will
be increased by some 100000, 900 and
pay envelopes of workers by manv
more millions as result of the
weeks rush to disi:urse profits partly
to avoid heavy taxes under the Fed
eral levy of undivided earnings.
The weeks count was boosted TO-
day by about $15,Oo0,OOO in dividends
from 20 companies and scattered
wage and bonus announcements.

Long Touchdown Runs BY

Up Over Point A Minute
Crushing Defeat of Warren ton Stamps Team as Fight

Butch Peace and Coop Play Last Game

Henderson high school Bulldogs pill
ed up more than a point minute as
they rang down their grid ron curtain
on the local athletic field yesterday
afternoon, humbling Warrenton high
school 81 to 0 as the bui4oogs ran
wild
The highs turned on most of the
steam in the first half, piling up a A
10 score N the first two periods
Touchdown runs Of varying lengths
were turned in by flashy backs and
ends.
Captain Durwood Turner, playing
his last game, touched off the fire
works in the first quarter when he
took a Warrenton punt on his 80 yard
line and raced 60 yards for touch
down. Billy Aston turned in another
touchdown run of IS yards shortly
thereafter, snagg-ng an aerial of
Warrentons.
In the second quarter, Sonny Coop
er took pass for 81 yarns and a
touchdown, Willera Windley, end
giving some fine blocking OH the play,
leaving Cooper alone as he crossed
the goal line.
Hunk Coghill, the Bulldogs speed
ster, reached up in the second period
to pull down WarrentOn heave, and
scooted Is yards for touchdown.
Billy Peace, the big back who piled
up most of Hendersons points took
pass from Ay3cue in the fourth
period and stepped 20 yards for a
touchdown.

team.
The enthusiasm Of the gridders
spreaded to the supporters on the side
lines who snake danced during the
half, and when the final VIII stle
sounded, rushed the goal posts, tear
ing them down and carrying away
bits of the wood as tokens of the drub
bing the Bulldogs administered on
the hapless lads of Warrenton.
Warrenton holds tie with Norlina
whom Henderson defeated 10 to 0
in the mud, and Oxford turned back
the Warren lads 10 to O., and trim

ng the Bulldogs were out for blood
in their last test yesterday.
Coach Miller was much pleased with
that could not be halted.
Warrenton never threatened, even
when Coach Miller was playing his
reserves.
1t was the final game for Captain
the team, and stated today that he
had enjoyed this season as much as
any he has had.

their staffs of experts as they went
along.
Social security was almost an over
night creation.
Naturally it was hit-or-miss pro-
duct.
It's purpose not only was good but
logical.
Waive the matter of unemployment
insurance; consider only old age pen
sions. Superannuated workers cannot
be permitted simply to starve to
death. It is less expensive as well as
more humane, to pension them,
rather than to let them die in poor
houses.
AS BEST FRIEND
But the mechanism, to pension them
off?
It was scrabbled together in hot
haste.
Ex-Governor John c. Winant of
New Hampshire, the security boards
first chairman, was and is the plans
best friend.
Winant, however, did not contend
that the plan was perfect. Contrari-
wise, he said, it was most IM-per-
feet plan. Far from opposing correc-
tons in it, he urged correction of the
law He reasoned only that the prin-
iple was right.
NOT WE'LL ORGANIZED
The board is making its getaway,
then, in a state of the most hopeless
disorganiZation.
1t is the iciggest unit, numerically,
under the stars and stripes.
1t began with no place even to
house it.
It's personnel had desks in the cor
ridors of the new Labor Department
building Later, the old labor depart
ment building, supposedly abandoned
too, was not big enough for it. 1t
overflowed into the streets of Wash
ington.
Washington could not roof it.
It had to find office space for hun
dreds of its workers in Baltimore.
1t has spread throughout the coun-
try elsewhere-into the postoffice de-
partment; anywhere it can find room.
And, for weeks, it had no head.
Winant resigned during the recent
presidential campaign in order to be
free to defend the law. Now he has

hanging branch. Once hidden in
the foliage he lay painting. He
was safe now, and could think out
his position.
The silent, mysterious death,
without warning or even a strug-
gle, was appalling; but he laughed
cynically as he speculated On the
possible discovery of his bag, and
the delight of some enterprising
young Sherlock Holmes at the
find. There were no marks to
identify the owner either of the
suit or sack. There was absolute
ly nothing to connect him with the
crime, or any article of his that
might set those bloodhounds on
the track. He picked up his coat
and waistcoat and boots and
walked along the edge of the lake
in the shallow water till he came
to firm ground, and then proceeded
across an open field of rough grass
i'll his stockinged feet to his cot
tage.
If his burglary had been sue
cessful he would have returned to
his cottage in any case, for he was
too old a hand to leave the village.
Now that things had turned out
differently, he would stay and
watch events. He took off his wet
clothes and pulled on a pair of
paJamas and a worn dressing
gown. In the homely surround
ings of his room the horror was
less acute, and he could review the
situation calmly. He helped him
self to stiff whisky TO keep cut
the cold, and wrung out his wet
clothes in the old sink in the cor
ner of the small kitchen and hung
them to dry Then he returned TO
his sitting room.
He smiled cynically as he
thought of all his careful prep
aration. A giant oak, a monster
IN decay, stood about SO yards
from the cottage. He had found
out all about that oak; nothing
escaped his fertile mind. It was
bare of branches to a height of
about 10 feet, and then forked into
three mighty stems. He had
climbed up to the fork and found
exactly what he wanted. Between
the stems the inside was hollow
and rotten; no one would guess it
seeing it from below. Into this
cavity he had intended to let down
his catch, and cover it carefully /
with rotting wood.
There it would remain for a wear |
at least, for he was no novice at
the game. Even if he had been
suspected and the police had come
to search! He could picture them
digging up the garden, probing in
the old thatch, and going down the |
weil-all the Cd-fashioned places
OF concealment. Hadn't he gone |
over it a score of times? Police
and plainclothes officers interro-
eating him while he told his SIM
pie story. How he had stayed at |
the inn till closing time, gossiping
with Hucks, the landlord, and |
walked home with Dick Noakes, a |
farm hand, and then slept till the
morning. All quite straight and |
above board. IT had heen his |

method for years.
There had been many similar
cunningly devised caches scattered
over the land where his flauls had
lain hidden for years, maturing
like good wine until he could safe
ly turn them into cash. No hasty
disposals or dealings with
fence" for him.
AS a parSon OH a visit to
Devonshire, blameless and almost
blind, he had obtained quite q
good haul, and a small cavity in
the rocks held the plumber safely
for months till the hue and cry
was over.
Who was he, and what was his
origin? He would have given
much to know. He had been
found as a four-month-old baby
abandoned on Wimbledon Com
mon, with no sign or mark to
show what woman had left him
there. A woman, surely, for he
had been placed in a conspicuous
position and warmly wrapped in
blankets in a basket, with two
pound notes pinned on the cover.
So much they had told him at the
orphanage when he was old
enough to be informed that he was
there by charity, and had no par
ents or relatives in the world. No
one had adopted hin-perhaps he
had not been an attractive infant,
and he had never known any home
but that institute.
There he had grown to con-
seriousness as child. The scanty
food, the drab uniform, and stern
discipline had been his daily sur
roundings. He had known moth
ing of the outside world.
Almost as soon as he could walk
he had been told that his was to
be no idle life. He was set to
work at mental jobs in the spare
time when he was not being in
structed. Work, he had been in
formed, was for him a necessity.
and as soon as he was old enough
some useful job must be found for
him to get him away from the in
stitution. 1t was almost an insult
that he should take so long in
growing up.
His name had been written on
the slip of paper, a name he had
tried to forget, and had borne
many aliases since then. Some
efforts by the police had been
made to discover his origin, but
after futile inquiries they had dis
the matter as a common
case of an unWanted child, and no
more trouble was taken. The peo-
pie at the institution had merely
called him Jack, and the old name
had remained dormant in his brain
and almost forgotten But with
the power of reading came knowl-
edge and the wild longing Of a
Gagged thing for liberty He was
a wiry, active youngster. with
restless dark eyes and a mop of
black hair, and hungry-always
