MEMBER OF RELIEF
/. PARTY is FROZEN
(By UNITED PRESS)

Billiards roared over the Rocky
Mountain region today, promising
more snow and severe cold for
nearly all of the nation east TO
the Atlantic.
Coal miners worked overtime in
Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky and Ala
bama to dig out fuel for hundreds
of families facing intense suffer-
ing.
The middlewest enjoyed more
moderate temperatures but severe
cold an dsnOw were forecast for
tonight and Sunday.
Washington, d. c., and the
Middle Atlantic states were buried
under the second worst snowstorm
in the history of Washington'S
weather bureau. More snow was
predicted.
AS the drifts piled up around
headwaters of the deep South'S
rivers, already at flood stage, hun
dreds of families prepared to flee
their homes. Raging rovers have
taken eight lives and caused heavy
property damage in the South
during the past week.
The mercury dropped to 46 be-
low at the Helena, Mont, airport
with sub-zero temperatures and
swerling snow general over the
Rockies. :,
The Pacific Northwest suffered
in an icy gale which broght the
coolest weather of the winter.
Howling winds blew a United Air
lines plane 200 miles off its course
but it landed safely in a small
field at Twin Bridges, Montana.
While snow covered the area to
the north, dust storm swept over
Liberal, Kans., and snadstorm
blew through Amarillo and other
sections of the Texas Panhandle.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (UP)
Political battle lines were shaping
today around the administrations

suggested it may become a para

campaign.
The intensive study given the
measure by Senator William +.

farm problem would figure impor-
family in his bid for the Republi-
can presidential nomination.

said.
"a casual survey of the bill
shows a very serious question
about its constitutionality."
Borah's Casual" study, it
was learned later, kept him up
until 3 a. m. He had left the sem
ate because of a cold, obtained
some sleep, and then arisen to
apply himself until the early
morning hour to a careful scrut-
my of the new soil conservation
bill.

Borah's views carried weight
not only because of his reputation
as a constitutional authority, but
because they gave negative indi-

is the feature that would give
farmers incentive toward produc-

tons on conservation of their
soil.
The permanent program, Borah
pointed out, would require CO.

are cold-blooded to sit here and
talk about Connie Sinclair like
that. She was young and pretty
cute. You were crazy enough
about her last week. Now she's
dead-killed. I can't believe it. !"
After that the girls began
talking about the clothes she
used to wear, and the jolly
things she used to say, and they
Speculated on her love affairs.
In the midst of all this, Patsy
Riley came running in, breath
less and wild-eyed.
"Girls," she cried, "have you
heard the news?"

once.

the one who visited Comics

night. He says he went there to
get her to sign his parole thing,
as she had refused that day at
school because he had been out
three times that week with that
awful girl. She refused again,
and he knew that meant trouble.
So he argued with her for half
an hour. But she stuck to it.
He says then that he told her
what he thought of her, Of her
pretended friendship for him and
all. Then he banged her door and
slammed down the stairs, as Mrs.
Sardoni said"
"But you don't suppose"
"That'S not all" squealed Patsy
triumphantly. 1.-THE detective on

And that was that. About two

The papers were 50 full Of this

said about Hymn and his disap-

was still another development. Mr..
Sinclair had arrived, and he had
Immediately inquired If Bruce
Lloyd were in town. That was Q

or their reporters, Scurrying all
over to find out about him.
The police, too, were investigat-

ately that Bruce Lloyd was the
man Constance had intended to
marry. He was q very fine man,
apparently, although Mr.. Sinclair
had met him only once, and he
lived in San Francisco. The father
expressed himself as surprised.

It didn't take long to find him

papers ran big cuts Of him, show.
ing q tall, handsome, blond young
man, with clear blue eyes and a
fine mouth. No one, not even Mrs.
Sardoni, remembered seeing him
before. And as Helen said, he was
not the sort Of man you would be
likely to forget.
It did seem awfully strange that
Connie had never talked to anyone
about him. He was the ideal fl.
ance that any girl would be proud
to show off. The teachers across
the hall said she often went to the
city for dinner, returning on the
very late boat, and also that she
spent many Saturdays there. They
supposed she had gone there to
meet him, which supposition
proved to be the case. But that
was early in the fall, during the
first weeks Of school in August
and September. For the last
month, these trips had been in
frequent.
The most startling statement
the papers made was that the
police and Mr.. Lloyd both ad-
mitted he had refused to answer
two questions.

asked.

did not quarrel, however, but we
