All at once he was frightened at the

dread her getting the letter-and yet
how can I go on if she does not?"
They were married at Easter. David
supposed it was a foregone conclusion
that they would be married then since
Grace had decreed it. Then he chided
himself for the thought.
With the decision, he strove to put
from his mind the memory of his
letter. He recalled that he had heard

it reminded me of us-of you and me
n I suddenly knew that death of
any kind would be easy compared with
having to get along without you.
Davld'-as he gazed down at her with
a strange expression-"I know you are
thinking the same thing. Dear" put
ting her arms about his neck, hold me
close to you! I feel so alone and fright
ened!"
With an imprisoned exclamation
the man caught her to him, and, hold
ing her close, kissed her again and
again on lips, cheeks, shoulders and
bosom. Then, releasing her suddenly,
he stood, pale and shaken, before her.
Dear David" her lips quivering,
even, while they smiled, II am glad
you love me like that-for I love you
SO dearly! And now, darling, go home.
We must not talk tonight. But, soon,
about the time of u marriage. I was
planning about it with father and
mother today. They saw no reason why
we should not be married this coming
spring. Do you, dear?"
He started to speak, but she stopped
him by an impulsive hand laid on his
lips.
Never mind! Don't try to say how
glad you will be. I want to wait until
we ian talk it all over. Butt am
thankful we need not wait much longer.
Now go-darling!"
She almost pushed him toward the
door. Snatching up his hat from the
table where he had laid it as he came
in, he went out of the house without a
backward glance.
AS he walked home he knew that he
was bound. Not with chains, but with
soft, silken cords, whose perfume was
slightly intoxicating.

that thousands of letters yearly went
astray in the mails and were never
claimed: He had added his tribute to
that collection.
That was the conclusion he finally
reached. He would not think any long
er of the step he had tried to take.
now to retreat. Grace's happiness was
in his hands. He must not speculate
what the effect would have been upon
her had she received his letter.

He added that probably the
principal use the police will
make of the new regulation will
be in the case of pedestrians who
might become obstinate in their
attempts to cross street intersec-
tionS against red lights. Mr..
HaZen explained:
"At present the police have
no authority to arrest pedestri-
an who attempt to cross inter
sections against red lights, even
though they are admonished by
the police.
"VeSted with the authority
that will be given them under

proved tomorrow, the police will
be able to arrest any pedestrian
who, warned by a policeman
against jaywalking, ObStinately
does so, anyway"

SCHOOL HEADS
TO BE SHIFTED

One principal and two new as
sistant principals will be appointed
next fall in the District schools, it
was disclosed today.
With the promotion of DR.. Har-
vey Smith, principal Of Central
High, to assistant superintendent
of senior high schools, a vacancy
has been created in that school.
Woodrow Wilson Senior High,
which opened last year with an
enrolment of approximately 700
pupils under one principal, Nor
man Nelson, will have a new as
siStant principal because of the
increased number of students. It
is understood a woman will be
selected.
Roosevelt High, which has al
ways had one assistant principal,
Miss Mae Bradshaw, will have a
second assistant principal, man,
when the fall term begins, it was
said.
Eastern, Western, Mckinley and
Central all have two assistant
principals.
1t is reported that Lawrence
Hoover, present assistant princi-
pal of Central, will be appointed
principal. In that case a new as
sistant principal would have to be
appointed.
An appointment expected in the
February semester is that of Miss
Bradshaw to principal of RooSe-
velt when DR.. Allan Davis retires.
DR.. Davis submitted his resigna-
ton to DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
school superintendent, last June.
1t was also learned that Ana
costa High, which last year oper-
ated only as junior high, will
add senior high school classes this
term to take care of its June
graduates.

The new police regulation which
the District Commissioners plan to
approve tomorrow designed to re-
duce jaywalking, will be a mere
gesture, it was indicated today.
Although Melvin C. Hazen, the
president of the Board of Com
miSsionerS, is the only Commits
Sioner in the city, he said that he
already has Col. Daniel Sultan's
approval of the proposed regula-
ton and will use the Colonei'S
proxy and his own vote to put the
proposal in effect.
They Must Obey
The proposed regulation reads:
"NO pedestrian shall disObey
the instructions of a police
officer"
Commissioner Hazen today de-

minor one" and asserted it came

BANK CHECKUP
IS STARTED

Check-up on national banks
holding bonds convertible into
stocks was ordered yesterday by
Comptroller of the Currency j. F.
T. O'Connor in his drive to keep
those institutions out of Specu.
lative investments.
Banks holding bonds with stock
warrants and rights also are being
scrutinized, O'Connor said.
O'Connor recently ruled that
the national banks laws prohibit
ing banks from investing in stocks
also barred their purchase of
bonds that could be converted into
stocks within the discretion of
corporation arrangements issuing
them.
National banks are estimated to
hold around 365 million dollars in
convertible bonds. and bonds with
stock rights and warrants.
O'Connor said he was con.
Quoting a study to determine how
banks holding these speculative
securities" could be forced to
liquidate them without causing a
mass liquidation"
The Comptroller explained:
I'VE have yet to decide upon
a definite plan. OF course, when
hnONAa a. ID
the banks have to dispose Of
them because they are prOhib-
tied from investing depoSitOrS'
money in stocks.
1--WE don't want banks to
speculate. The greatest losses
suffered by banks in the de-
preston were in convertible
bonds. We do not want a repe-
tition Of that"

POLICE COURT
REM0DELING
PROPOSED

Possibility that the District Com.
missioners will ask that appropri-
ationS be made in the next supply
bill for remodeling the Police
Court to house part of the Police
Department was indicated today
by Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen.
He revealed that the plan OF
Major Ernest w. Brown, Superin'
tendent of police, to make a sur
Vey to determine the feasibility of
using the court building for part
of the Police Department has the
approval Of the Commissioners.
The present Police Headquar'
ters building was condemned some
time ago by District authorities,
but the department, nevertheless,
has continued to maintain its
headquarters there.
The police court is to be moved
into a new building in Judiciary
Square, construction of which has
just been begun.
Major Brown believes that it
will be practicable to utilize the
court building for housing the
administrative offices of his de-
partment, the House of Detention
and the Women'S Bureau.
However, he has appointed a
committee of three to make sur
vey of the structure to determine
exactly what best use can be made
of the building as far as the Police
Department is concerned. The COM
mittee is composed of Chief Clerk
Howard E. Crawford, Capt. Rhoda
Milliken of the Women'S Bureau,
and Inspector l.. I. Edwards, direc-
tor of personnel Of the Police
Department.
Commissioner Hazen said it
probably will be necessary to re-
model the court building to make
it suitable for the Police Depart
ment, since the interior of the
structure is in shabby condition
and he even suggested that an ad-
ditional floor might be added.
However, he seemed confident
that the Police Department can
make use of the building.

LOTTERY FRAUD
ORDER HALTED

Justice Jennings Bailey IN
United States District Court today
intervened in behalf Of the Ma
tional Conference on Legalizing
American Lotteries, Incorporated,
the New York organization Of
which Mrs. Oliver Hartman is
president, when he signed an order
restraining the Post Office De
partment from enforcing a recent
fraud order against the confer
ence.
The Post Office Department is
forbidden from continuing to re-
fuse to accept mail sent to the
Conference and mailed by it and
is directed to impound all such
correspondence until next month
when a hearing of the suit for
permanent injunction is to be held.
Under the fraud order, issued April
%, all mail addressed to the Con-
ference was to be returned to the
sender with the word "fraudulent"
stamped on the envelope.
Through Attorney Horace j.
Donnelly. the conference informs
the court that it's purpose is to
attempt to convince rhe public
that lotteries should be legalized.
In this campaign he initiated a
contest last January, awarding
cash prizes to winners who gave
the most satisfactory answers to
the question of how the Gov
ernment might best apply funds
derived from Government-regu-
lated lotteries.
