engagement to Miss SINCLAIR was
a decided mistaken"
Bruce continued talk in soft
ened, spellbound voice, answering,
Neither Connie nor anyone else
mattered after that"
We believed him. The trouble
was that probably the police and
everyone else would, too - would
believe him so thoroughly that
they would be sure he had MUIR
dered Connie to be rid Of her {.
The rest of his story as it came
out later certainly pointed that
way. That night he was intent on
making us see the beauty and the
glory of this Bernice he loved so
well.
She was no doubt lovely,
"Burne-Jones painting come to
life," he said. He repeated that
phrase once in a reporters hear
ing and it tagged itself onto Ber-
niece all through the events that
followed. The photographs that
were published backed up what
he had to say. She was exquisite.
Beside her, what ordinary girl
could possibly have chance? She
was not very popular with any
Of us, Helen or Patsy or me. AS
Patsy said, she had glamour

Then you decided to break
your engagement to Miss Sinclair?
You wanted to marry this girl?"
II asked her to marry me that
night. She refused, which was

But she eventually accepted
your-er-attentions?"
Accepted my attentions! More
than that, MIR. Martin. She is my
Wife!"

"On October 18, in Reno"
In Reno? How did you happen
to go there?"
Bruce looked bit ashamed but
also defiant as he answered, We'll,
I couldn't seem to make Connie
understand that our engagement
was not success. I didn't want to
tell her about Bernice; I felt no
woman would understand what
she meant to me. Then Bernice
had made a ong visit; she had de-
cided to return East at once. The
thought of losing her was madden
ing. She cared as much for me as
I for her. So Monday night of that
crazy week, I persuaded her to
marry me at once. Having made up
our minds, we wanted to accom-

You know during our summer ro-

that if she didn't read of it, they

He was joined in his remarks to
the Nation by Senator Wagner, Dem

to take their losses without gripping, to
win with a certain amount of equi-
nimity, they are training to be good
citizens.
And when they learn to make the
proper use of their leisure they are
mounting the scales to success.
So say all the, experts, and Mr..
Birch E. Bayh agrees with them; for
he, too, IS an expert in this line. He
had something like IS years expert
ence in the graded schools and high
schools of Terre Haute - and the
Teachers College there, too-in map
ping out just such a course as WASH
ington hopes to work out.
THE new system places circles
= around various sports and de-
crees they can be played and prac-
ticed only in season.
For instance, the foot ball season
begins at the dawn of the scholastic
year-in September-and runs to
Thanksgiving day. Boys who play
foot ball will have no Spring practice.
This year they were permitted to prac-
tice from September / to September
II, the opening school date; but next
year the new rule will be obeyed
rigidly.
Basket ball may be played from De-
cember / to March /. inclusive. Then
will come outdoor track and base
ball-to run from April to June 10.
There is method in this. Mr.. Bayh,
as an athletic director or health in
structor, claims that adolescent boys
and girls should not overtax them
selves; that they should noS spend
too many hours of the day practicing
and playing their favoris sport
sometimes to the detriment Of their
health. Everythiug IA moderation.
