so successful that they would lik'
to duplicate the work this year
if the money can be raised.
"Last year, beginning that date
10 gallons of soup were made ant
served daily, and 80 children were
given additional nourishment
Members of the club felt, how
ever, that if we could have taken
care of $50 children, instead OF
90. the problem of extra nourlsh,
ment for all children who needed
it could have been solved.
"Tbe long range weather predic.
ton made by bureau otflclais at
Washington, is for another hara
winter and the need will be as
oreat from this standpoint, as 1t
was last year. ,,a
"On behalf of the club, / would
like TO state our appreciation for
the generous support that was
oiven this work last year. Money
Came for it from private dona-
tions, clubs and civic groups, and
we would not have been able to
carry on the project, had it not
been for this. We hope the public
will be able to give the work the
same support that it did last
year."

First, a demand for sweeping

Fourthly, an attack reiteratlng

carrying out its 1882 platform.
They carried it out all right. They
carried it out and put it on the
ash pile. They took the blank
check that the people gave them
and filled it in for $25,000,000,-
900. They adopted a philosophy of
scarcity and enforced it with a
policy of destruction -.
"They promised sounE cur
rency, and there is not one of
them who can even describe the
tumble we now have for currency.
They promised to encourage pri-
vate business and private business
has not had a good nights sleep
since March, 1888. They promised
to keep out of private enterprise,
and they have done everything
from selling electric toasters to
making rum in the Virgin Islands.
"They promised to cure the
maladies of business, and they put
the economic system on the table
and operated and when the pa
tents leg was gone, they just
operated on some part that was
left. They promised to unite the
people in a common, cooperative
drive for recovery and they turn
ed the country into an experiment
tai laboratory for the trial of all
the schemes and plans that vision
aries and fanatics could cOncOct.
"And now that recovery has
come at last, fighting its way
against the repressive and discour-
aging policies of the present ad-
ministration, they have the eff
frontery to say they brought it
about, just as if Joe Louis should
claim credit for Schmeling's vic
tory because he fought him as

together, my spirits did not do
any reviving. I was low and that
was all there was to it. When
Dicky got romantic in the moon

I'm going home" I announced,
and he knew I meant it.
I was glad the next morning
that I had 10 hours sleep behind

was Saturday and the family
had planed to drive to Santa
Cruz for the weekend. About
10 o'clock, Dad phoned that he
couldn't get away, that we would
have to go some other time. To
say we were disappointed would
be mild, for guess we were all
anxious to get away from the
town for a few hours anyway.
Mother had to do some market
ing then; so I drove her down.
I was sitting in front of the big
open grocery store where she likes
to go. waiting for her, when
who should come along but the
Inspector. He stopped, leaned
over the side of the door and his
opening remarks told me why our
trip to Santa Cruz had been
spoiled.
II know you don't like the
idea, Miss Julie" he said after
greeting me, but I checked up
on the San Francisco end after
the information you gave me. I
wanted to be sure we were watch
ing Bruce Lloyd closely enough.
The fellow over there had re-
port to make that may or may
not be important. He has been
shadowing Bruce for some time,
and three nights he has called
on a blonde. Did he ever men

Did he give any explanation
as to why he should wish to
break off with Miss Sinclair?"
"He just said that somehow
they didn't seem to get along so

gone away for a week-end-to

1t had been a mistake"

She must have money. How

yeah. Well, don't worry your
pretty head about it, Miss Julie.
Probably she is some well-to-do
young woman who has come here
to write or paint or something;
he probably met her at the art
lists colony in Carmel. I just
wanted you to know that we are
working on that angle. and I
don't want you to be too disillu-
stoned if We find out there is
more to it than you think"
Naturally, I worried about it.
I knew the Inspector was telling
me less than he knew or thought,
that there we're some possibilities
that he wasn't suggesting to me
at all. It looked as if he we're
concentrating on Bruce, as if he
wanted to find him guilty.
thought he was probably frank
enough in saying that he was
telling me in order to prepare me
for what might happen. AS a
matter of fact, I think he was
warning me.
We'll" I answered rather sadly,
Il can't believe he's the man.
But you will find out now whether
he is or not. Why do you think
he would do it?"
The Inspector hesitated a min
ute, and he looked away when
he spoke.
Little Julie, the world Is a
queer place. A young man falls
in love with girl during a ro-
mantle summer. In the proSaic
fall, he finds she is just another
girl to him, one he likes and
respects but with whom he is not
particularly anxious to spend the
rest of his life. Then to add to
his growing dissatisfaction, he
meets another woman who is
everything he can desire, summer
or fall. or at least so he thinks.
He tells the first girl he is
through, but she won't believe it.
We may even find that she tried
to hold him to the engagement.
Maybe he came to see her, quar-
relied violently with her, and then
shot her to be rid of her. People
do lots of things that sound mad,
from various emotions, such as
anger, for instance"
I knew he was trying to make
me understand, that he was speak
ing carefully. I didn't want to
believe it, and I rebelled against
the thought.
But, Inspector" I cried, you
are just imagining all that from
what I told you and from the
fact that he called on a girl
three times!"
From that and also from the
fact, Miss Julie, that the girl,
Bernice Carter, was with Lloyd
in Sacramento the day he tried
to phone Constance Sinclair, the
day he sent her the yellow roses
telling her their wedding plans
we're cancelled!"

B0RAH RESUMES

Manager Terms Senator
Choice of the West,
Landon of East.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

While Landon Republicans were re-
joicing over the vote cast for the
Kansas governor in the Massachusetts,
primary, Senator Borah of Idaho was
in Columbus today in his second in
vasion Of Ohio. The primary there
May IL, in which Borah is entered
against the "favorite son" candidate,
Robert A. Taft, is the next big test for
the Idaho Senator, who will campaign
there all of next week.
Carl G. Bachmann, campaign man.
ager for Borah. today undertook to
def1ate the Landon optimism growing
out of the Massachusetts, primary.
The Landon people worked very
hard to build up sentiment for the
Kansas governor in Massachusetts, and
to get out vote for him." said Bach
mann. Senator Borah never spent a
penny in Massachusetts,. never lifted a
hand to get any votes there, yet more
than 5000 voters wrote his name in on
their ballots in the primary.
THE supporters of Gov. Landon
tried the same kind of thing in Ne
VI dohd CllGCI tIlC
Nebraska primary. Borah did. But
the Landon people worked hard for
weeks in Nebraska to get the voters
tic write in Landon's name on the
ballots. What happened? Borah de-
feated Landon to in Nebraska.
Landon Held East's Choice.
Judging from what happened in
Nebraska and what happened in
Massachusetts,, it looks as though
Borah was the candidate of the West,
while Landon is getting his support
in the East. Yet the Eastern Repub-
licans have been saying they are
willing to let the West pick the can
didate this year."
Bachmann said he was we'll satisfied
with Borah's showing in Pennsyl-
vania. He expressed the opinion the
Senator would have the support Of
at least 20 of the States delegates
when the ballot begins at the ma
tional convention. Thirty of the dele
gate candidates, he said, had signed
statements to the effect they would
support the candidate who received
the highest number Of votes in the
