SYNOPSIS-Clark Griffith, deb
Onair liaisOn man for powerful PO-
itieal forces, is attempting to win
Verda Trent from Moses Inter
est" CraddOck, ruthless and influ-
entail attorney. He met the beau
tiful Verda at the home of a friend
and succeeded in getting her con-
sent to go to luncheon the follow
ing day. He has Just called Verda
to remind her of the engagement
when CraddOck, entering her apart
ment, Overhears the telephone con-
VersatiOn and is furious.
Verda dismisses CraddOck from
her apartment and goes to lunch
with Clark, where, during the meal,
she realizes Clark has fallen in love
with her.
Verda breaks with Craddock and
reopens her shop free from obiga-
ton to him. Clark, hurrylng to
Verda with tickets for a prizefght,
is fired on with a machinegun in a
fleeing car. He is uninjured, but
the bullets strike two innocent per-
sons.
Clark goes to Craddock's office
with a thinly-veiled accusal and a
threat. Both men quarrel bitterly
and the breach is widened. Clark
tells Verda he knows of a way to
hit back at Craddock.
Clark goes to August Tweed, his
political chief, to enlist his aid in
fighting CraddOck, and finds that
his faction is on the eve of a bitter
political struggle in which Grad
dock will be the OppOsitiOn's leader
among Negroes.

Clark laughed. ooh, but I've got

Coy"
"All right, all right. Who is it2"
"Verda."
Strange noises came to Clark's
ear over the wire. "Did-did you
say 'Verda'?"
yep"
SCOTS voice suddenly assumed a
tone of deep concern. do you
know what you are doing?"
"Never knew better"

introduced you two, and you fell

agreed upon!"
To-day"
Scott whistled. "Boy, that's fast
work. Well, be good-and careful.
Very careful. If you need me, call
me-"
A vague uneasiness fell over
Clark at the conclusion of the con-
versation with Scott. Had he IN
dertaken too much in this fight ?
Would he live to taste the fruits of
the victory if his side did win?
He thought of Verda then, and
all his uncertainty vanished before
the memory of her kiss.
(But will Clark win? Is Grad
docks implacable hatred too much
to master? Read next weeks in
stallment and see this drama I'M
fold in exciting sequence.)

Hello, Everybody:
Have you heard about the latest

Two of our Twin City gals are

1t seems as if the girls in question,
on the first day of school, came
upon two new out-of-town boys.
Being sociable and showing their
"No-thern" hospitality, they smiled
and spoke to the two boys. And
guess what the sheiks did? First,
they stared and gawked; second,
mouths dropped open; third, gave
the girls the hot air and walked
off. Now 1 calls that rudeness,
don't you?

CHAPTER Z

did you say Craddock?" Clark
softly asked.
Eyes. Why?"
Clark realized that it was no
longer necessary to enlist the sup
port of his chief against Interest
and his gang. The mere fact that
Interest had chosen to enter his
political opponents camp was suf-
ficient to bring all of Tweed's
power into play against him.
So Clark smiled at this turn of
fate.
"He is my favorite excruciating
pain" he said. Having him en-
the other side of the table is just
what l need. = Pm going to love
this"
Tweed rubbed his chin reflective
ly. "Sure do like your enthusiasm,
kid. But 1 must tell you right now
this isn't going to be all roast
duck and the trimmings. We have
never seen a fight like this one. A
victory means powerful recognition
in Washington. There are $780,
100000 worth of government prof.
ects scheduled for this state, too.
Most of them will be done by pri-
ate concerns within the boundary
of the state. We're both out to
control that work, kid. And we
had better control it with all the
patronage it can give or we can
go out and place our names on the
unemployed rolls"
Clark was concerned at this ex-
PLANTATION. '"Is it really that bad,
Chief?"

Engineers to Get Ne,o Training
Plan Returning From Camp
Troops Will Haze Maneuuers and Ouer
night Biuouacs While Marching
Home From Field Exercises.

Something new in the way OF camp
maneuvers will be tried out by the
12lst Regiment of Engineers OF the
District National Guard when it goes
into the field next summer for training.
The plan was discussed last week by
Col. John w. Oehmann, commanding
the militia, and officers of the various
units.
The plan is to have the overnight
maneuvers at the very end Of the
camp, and instead of returning to the
base, to keep on moving in the direc-
ton Of Washington by way Of Vir-
ginia. The plan heretofore has been
for the troops to hold their overnight
maneuver and then return to the
emp for little more training before
leaving for home.
The camp-site discussion resulted
in a tentative decision to again send
the Engineer Regiment to Camp AL
bert c. Richie. at Cascade, Md, prob
ably early in August. The setting Of
the dates depends upon when the Dis
trict troops can obtain the use of the
site, which is the State camp for the
Maryland National Guard.
1t was decided Company A, 372d
Infantry, will 60 with the engineers,
as will one company of the l04th
Quartermaster Regiment, to handle
the transportation problems. The
29th National Guard Division staff
will take its camp in the western part
Of Virginia in the latter part of July
or the first of August. when the other
units of the lO4th Quartermaster
Regiment will go. This will furnish
valuable training to tho latter outfit,
it was explained. as this is to be
mobile camp, the site for the head
quarters being moved every day or so
as the war-problem solution is being
worked out. 1t will be the job of the
Quartermatser Unit to keep, supplies
ahead of the division headquarters
and to move the heavy camp equip
ment during the day and set it up for
the divisional staff at night.
In addition to the divisional staff
troops there will go with the division
the 29th Signal Company, the 9Ist
Infantry Brigade Headquarters and
a part Of the 9lst Brigade, which is a
Virginia detachment of the divisional
group. These outfits also will move
through the war" area with the
division headquarters.
The 260th Coast Artillery will take
its training at Fort Story. Va, some
time in July and August. The date for
their training also depends upon when
other organizations of the coast artil-
lery will do their training at this
coastal post. The artillery heavy equip
ment will be moved by rail or boat to
the camp instead Of having it taken
down by trucks.
In the case of the Engineers these
troops. together with equipment will
be moved to Camp Ritchie by rail.
But on the return trip they will move
by motor caravan, taking with them
only such equipment as necessary for a
mobile outfit on the march. They
will move out Of camp with maneuvers,
the quartermaster department moving
the heavy equipment.
With the tentative camp sites de-
cided upon, the various commanders
were given something as a basis upon
which to work out their camp esti-
mates, and they have been instructed
to prepare them and send them into

AUTOS INCREASE
CAMP INJURIES
Army Trying to Lessen Medical
Problem at Field
Camps.

With an increasing number of ac-
cidents to members Of the National
Guard while on duty due to the
mechanization of the field forces, par
ticularly the operation of motor We
hicles. word has gone out that some
means must be found to combat them.
Chief among the causes, it was
cited, was the dropping off to sleep
by the driver Of a truck in convoy or
occasionally elsewhere. Next in order
are the night accidents, when men are
going to and from the camps. The
National Guard Bureau says deter
mination Of the line Of duty in the
latter cases necessitates complete in
vestigation. In this connection it
should be set down in orders, the
Army officials say, that no man should
ride on the running board of a car
or with any part of his body. as an
arm or leg. protruding. Thumbing
rides, they say, should be outlawed,
and it was added that intrusting ones
self to the automobile of a stranger
should be outlawed One or more of
the above facts were present in many
cases Of accident during the past sum-
mer, it was asserted, and the amounts
involved in their care are said to be
very large.
The adjutant generals are being
urged to give strict study of the pa
pers submitted in connection with ac-
cidents, to the end that they will not
have to be returned. Mistakes in re-
ports. it was pointed out, many times
result in hardships, as when the bu-
reau acts on information first given
and allows claim; further informa-
ton is demanded by the General Ac-
counting Once, and with this before it
the original payment order is reversed.
It also was added the States must ex-
ercise greater care in conducting the
physical examinations of men before
sending them to camp, to the end that
the unfit may be eliminated and
avoid the necessity of sending them
to hospitals after they arrive in the
camps.
