HLEN FOWLER, 16, using tho " visiting newspaper lady's hand mirror, rucfully inspects the ragged locks shorn by whlte-cIad "crusaders" who dragged her from her bed In the dark of night.
 The baby, in her arms, murmurs and the mother looks down at him. Held upright or lying down, the child's eyes are continually closed. "He needs doctorin'," the mother frets. "but I haln't got DO money for 1t. We're pore folks. We don't mean no harm to nary one but we're pore folks. Lately the baby's had a fever, too.. I think he's w0rmy- kind off,"
 Frank, lurching in the doorway, looks outside. "Startin' to raln," he announces. "Raln'll mean . right smart of money if it keeps up."
 Next morning the Fowler place looks deserted. Only the pigs, nib- bling around the dooryard, are in sight and they scurry at the ape proacE of visitors.
 Mrs. Fowler answers a knock at the door. Frank and the girls are away" she says. "Thcy went to sec their Daddy and take him some to- bacco. No, I don't know when they'll be back. Not before night, I guess"
 She says goodbye and disap- pears.
 hidden, in the kitchen door way, Grandma Cox beckons. There are tears In her eyes and she tries to dry them on corner of her apron.
 T don't want you should sec me-" she says between sobs, because I'm so dirty. There aln't any way l can get clean here and I'm ashamed to be like this. Those girls cursed me this morning after I cooked theif breakfast and said l was dirty.

 Caroline, IS years old, losses her head. "rhey beat me-" she says "but they didn't cut my hair. l ran away so they couldn't. ran away twice."
 Bright-eyed is Caroline. Slender and graceful, too. She carries the melody when the three sisters sing Hillbilly songs, as they will on re- quest. Glen takes the lowest notes and Grace the highest. "The Old Country Church" Is their favorite, but they leave off the last letters, pronouncing the word, "Chur."
 They're pretty girls, even with their ragged haircuts and hand-me- down clothes. For special occa- sions they have shoes, though at home they go barefooted.
 Mrs. Fowler, too, must have been pretty once. Now most of her teeth are gone and her face is lined and worn.

Washington, July 15.-The lnys- tery of what has happened to Louis R. dlavis, the super-sleuth who has been combating graft and scandal for PWA and the interior depart ment these last three years, seems almost as deep as any that Glavis himself has unraveled in his spec tacular career.
 But 1t is clear enough that this days as chief investigator for Secre- tary-Administrator Harold L. rckes began to be numbered months ago, when he first crossed the path of Ebert K. Burlew, grand vi2ier to IckeS.
 The duel between Glavis and Burlew became intense and the result Is that Glavls is going to work for the senate campaign ex- penditures Investigating commit- tee and will also do odd jobs of Investigating for the president on the side.
 All hands are at great pains to make clear that Glavis didn't re. sign, that he wasn't asked to re- sign, and that he wasn't fired.
 After Administrator Hackett an- nounced at 0 PWA party that Glavis was on the way out-and there were some loud cheers -- Ickes caused Hackett to apologize to Glavis. But the famous detec- tive has been sitting in his oftlce with practically nothing to do and for weeks Bradley Smith of his staff has been known as "acting chief" of the division of investi- gation.
 Glavis' first assistant left some time ago as e result of disagree rient with BurleW,

However, Roosevelt has Sorne- times used Glavis for secret investi- gationS and feels he can use him some more.

BurIew Flattens Foes

bufIeW FlaCCenS FOeS
 Meanwhile, there's an atmosphere of tense embarrassment in the 1ckes domain and one is reminded that 28 years ago, fin the Ballinger Scan- dal, Glavis as g young man who dared to tell the truth was a storm center at the interior department. The circumstances, of course, are different.
 GlaviS is the latest of several high officials under Ickes who have been flattened out more or less completely because they antogon- ized Burlew. Although 1ckes has often been blamed for always sup- porting Burlew and allowing him to ride over his other subordinates in an intermittent three-year snip- ing fest, the fact is that Burlew has been smarter than his enemies and hence Q much more effective sniper.
 Ickes has become persuaded that he has suffered from the "snOOping" and "man- hunting" tactics of the big Glsvis force of investigators. Many PWA officials and employees were glad to side with BurIew, charging various petty or Inept invasi0ns of their offices or projects and inSinuatiOns aS to their honesty.
 They allege that Glavis inVeSti- gated "a lot of stuff he had no business Investigating" and 1t ap- pears that his inquiries sometimes led him into the affairs of some of the numerous fellow Chicago ans whom IckeS brought into PWA.
 Even some of diavis' friends admit that some of his hnvestiga- tors acted stupidly or extensively, although 1t isn't easy for an out- sider to judge as to the justifica- ton for the considerable bitter ness against Glavis.
 Point to Fine Record
 On the other hand, dlavis parti- sans point out that his division made c strong record against poli- tical crooks, oil company lobbyists, shady PWA employees, code chiSel- CTS, kickback operators, and would. be grafterS.
 Some of them suggest that the Glavis-Burlew battle Is not over, that 1t Is too bitter to be buried by the detectives departure, and that Lou always gets his man."
 The recent period of embarraSS- ment has been partly due to the fact that Glavis knows so much about the administration and partly due to the fact that the White House crowd likes his work.
 GIavIs sat in his office for weeks after his enemies expected him to leave, apparently waiting for an- other appointment which would satisfy him.
 He and his staff have infiltrated through Q large part of the ad- ministration, encountering many interesting facts here and there. It has been suggested that he might cause the administration an enormous amount of embarrass- ment in the campaign were he so minded, and that thought has not been ignored by Tckes.
