the operator WHY -.
he didn't call each party and tell
them about the complaints. In that
way" he said, you will have peace.
The boy looked at the man IN
shocked surprise and asked incred-
ulously if he didn't know who Butcn
Dan was?
Laughing, the man answered, I've
heard of him"
The boy, quite relieved at this in
formation, Immediately embarked on
the story of why he didn't call Butch
Dan and Daisy Tumbletoes.
DUTCH DAN, it seems, was in
- terrible humor when he came in
that noon. and he left specif1c IN
structions at the desk that he was
not to be disturbed for anything or
any one until 11:15 that night. He
merely stated to the operator he
wanted to be alone and get good and
plastered, in advance Of some good
news he was going to get out at
HIS pm.
The boy turned to the flashing
board again. He shook his head
drearily. He continued his story.
well, you know what I mean.
when Butch says don't call for any
thing or any one, would I dare bust
in and tell him that some yapplng
nnammas in the hotel were complain
ing that his radio is playing too loud?
I hope to tell you I won't. Besides
Jobs are too scarce now for me to be
taking any chances with mine. He'd
have me fired"
The lounger answered thoughtful
": IF he did disturb Dutch Dan the
probability would be he wouldn't have
to look for any job; he'd no doubt
drape a marble slab in the morgue."
THE boy paled at the thought and
said huskily, Don't I know it,"
He reached for a package of cigarettes.
Passing one to the lounger. he puffed
deeply. his nerves completely shot
from the time he has having answer
ing the complaints about Butch Dan.
THAT Daisy Tumbletoes now," he
said. she taps for hours at time.
Her apartment is right over Butch
Dams. When she moved in there her
dancing annoyed Butch He called
down here and told me to tell her to
pipe down."
He swung around in his chair
quickly. do you want to know what
I got out of that? She came down
and hit me smack in the eye with one
of her toe slippers-and told me to

the boys attention again. Il tell you
called his apartment" he an
swered impatiently.
When Butch Dan left the message
that noon about not wishing to be
disturbed ne meant it. He was infuri-
ated over the miscarriage of plans the
previous night. Plans that were to
be re-enacted again. This particular
night. The man who bungled the
plans of the night before was found
dead in the early hours of the morn
ing Butch Dams punishment for
errors.
BY 11:15 word was to reach Butch
that the job was done and he decided
to wait at the apartment until the
word came.
At exactly that time the harassed
boy put a call through to Butchs
apartment. He rang and waited. Ap-
parently Butch Dan was asleep. There
was no answer. Finally it became ap-
parent he would not answer his phone
and the boy called the manager. ex-
planning everything that Butch Dan
had said that noon. The manager
thoughtfully scratched his head.
Don't like to go against his orders
like this, but the noise of the radio Is
terrible. He doesn't answer his call
I'll go up"
THE stranger at the desk drew back
his coat and said, "I'll 20 up with
you" The manager drew back sur.
prised. He led the way to the ele-
vator
knocking at Butch's door they did
not receive an answer. They knocked
several times. Finally they forced the
door. The radio was creating such
din with its screeching sounds it was
hard to hear. Throwing open the
door they stepped in. The radio was
blaring the noise of jazz orchestra.
An awed silence fell in the room.
Sprawled on a huge davenport with
half-f1lled glass of liquor clutched
in his hand was Butch. The dim
lights in the room shone flickeringly
on his body. which lay amid bloody
mass of mortar and frescoed art. His
crushed head was shapeless pulp,
grotesque in death. No enemy gun
got him. But some time during the
animated tap dance of Daisy Tumble
toes the ceiling fell. Butch Dams
glazed eyes stared into gaping hole
in the high dome in the two-storied
living room.
He got plastered.

Final ditching OF salt marshes has

IN the permanent Improvement Of

From 500 to 400 men have been
employed on these projects during

sanitation work included removal

were trimmed, and 5000 dead and
dying were removed and destroyed.
Pine Shoot Moth

examined pines for signs OF illfesta-

ton to my hearers yesterday which
had any political character, 1t was as
a spokesman" he was reported as
saying.
This declaration. informed circles
said, was given to Premier Leon Blum
and Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos
during luncheon at the Bank of

included the totals of the army. navy,

DR.. Schacht remained at the Ger
man Embassy during the day. but
planned to confer again with Emile
Labeyrie, governor of the Bank Of
France, before departing tomorrow for
Berlin.
In various conferences with French
officials, the minister, who also Is
president of the Reichsbank, was cred
tied in informed quarters with in
forming France the best way to cope
with German militarism was to aid
economic rehabilitation of the Reich.
DR.. Schacht was represented as pic
turing German prosperity as the best
guarantee of European peace and hint
ing that prosperous Germany would
