Love Story

They were billed as Fame and

composed her songs and played
for her on the stage while she

security. But the shadow of her
love for Fame envelopes them and
you must read to the end to IN

An Intriguing
Plot

Patricia Wentworth, who usual
ly assures you good solid enter
tainment when you look between
the covers of a book from her
pen, takes care in her latest that
she doesn't disappoint you.
In "Hole and Corner" she en-
tiers the mystery-romance field Of
fiction that is responsible for so
many Of our more popular pieces
Of literature.
It is a plot that has breath
catching edge in it. Shirley Dale.
an entirely nkeable young person,
finds that it is getting to be a
habit to find that she is walking
around with something valuable
belonging to someone else. There
was the case of the strange
pocketbook suddenly appearing on
her wrist while she boarded q
crowded bus one evening. Then
there was the time the change
purse belonging to the woman
sitting next to her in restaurant
was found in her own bag. It
was most embarrassing since she
was dining with Anthony Leigh,
her employers nephew. She liked
Anthony and so when she found
a diamond brooch that had at
tached itself to her equally mystic
riously she went to him.
And there we must leave it up
to Miss Wentworth to tell you
the rest.

A War Department request for 1000
new fighting planes in the next five
years gained new momentum today in
Congress.
As Europe throbbed with marching
armies, the House Military Affairs
Committee voted unanimously yester-
day in secret session for a bill by
Chairman McSwain to authorize con-
struction of the air feet.
The action also accompanied con-
gressional consideration Of War and
Navy bill which, if passed in their
present form, would senl national de-
tense costs skyward in the next fiscal
year to a record-breaking $1,100,000,-
600 total.
Army Would Get Most.
The two regular defense supply bills
provide $5s.oo0,oQO for 565 Army
planes and about $26,000,000 for 1888
Navy planes In the next fiscal year.
It was understood the McSwain bill
was called up for action by Repre-
sentative Rogers, Democrat, Of New
Hampshire. chairman Of the Military
Aviation Subcommittee He has con-
tended the United States is 10 years
behind in Army Air Corps develop

Rogers and McSwain recently made
an unsuccessful attempt in the House
to increase the War Department air
appropriation to S79.000,o0O for con-
struction of 700 planes during the next
fiscal year.
Only About $50 Planes Now.

LEGATIONS recommended the United
