the BraWley team to the title
He has pitched two one-hit games

Calexico boasts better bal

Cn AMIOM CRACKERS

1. Histories might differ, but who were the REAL leaders of the Lewis and Clark expedition?
 2. Cannibals, Marijuana, and Hashish are:
 cities in South America;
 narcotics;
 Japanese delicacies; 1 noted Chinese statesmen.
 3. Does the city of Tokio lie north of the city of Rome?
 4. Three cats caught three mice fin three days. Working just as industriously, how long will 1t take one cat to catch two mice?
 5. Here's memory test. Read 1t 1 only once.
 As Jack and Jill walked up the hill they saw hawk swoop down, grasp a gopher in its talons and fly away. This frightened the chil- dren so they jumped back, almost stepping on cottontail hiding in the brush. Just then an owl on the fence slowly blinked one eye, while three larks started skyward, each with a worm in its beak. Jack and Jill, forgetting the pail of water they came to get, ran home to tell their mother all they had seen.
 How many living creatures are mentioned?

But instead, Alan crossed to Q desk and dropped the card into a drawer which held some receipts and more unpaid bills.
 The next day Alan saw JilEs picture, as he carelessly turned the pages of a newspaper.
 Jill, he read grimly, was having ball. The date was some time away, but the event was heralded as one of major importance in the winter calendar.
 By now" Alan decided fierce ly, determined to face sober re- ality, "she has probably forgotten that she ever knew me. II She hasn't, she will when all the par ties begin. Pleasure is all rich girls like Jill think about"
 If he had known, Jill was ready for any excitement which would act as a temporary escape from thinking at all.
 The brilliant ball waS one Mrs Wentworth had had in mind a long while. She wanted 1t to eclipse any social affair Jill had ever been given and to rank with the elaborate parties of the sea- son.
 It would be, Jill thought, with a new cynisicsm, exactly like bold label: Look what the debutanteS of this season have to offer. And then look at what marriage with the daughter of John Wentworth offers. Not to be ignored even If her debut is two seasons cold"
 Her mother was desperately eager for her to marry. Well, in this re- spect she was not so very different I from most of the other mothers, Jill thought. All of them were anX- ious to weep at daughters weddings, and give the bridegroom grateful peck on the cheek for taking them away.
 Well, at least, she would con- promise regarding the ball, and be paraded once more.
 And then came en electric, daring thought. She would send an invitation to Alan. Patty would learn his address. From Ardata Holm, if necessary.
 Jill felt almost lighthearted as she played with the happy idea, which was entirely within the realm of possibilities.
 T can't understand your sud- den enthusiasm for the party" Mrs. Wentworth said, fixing Jill with a speculative eye. "Is there some special reason?"
 She always distrusted Jill's spe- cial reasons, which were to cu- riously unworldly, so different from the ideas of her set.
 Nothing special" Jills voice sang, as she prevaricated bravely. She added, little anxiously, Sometimes I think maybe we shouldn't have such large party, mother. Haven't you noticed that father has been looking worried lately?"
 "Nonesense. Mrs. Wentworth's voice was sharp. What could ne possibly have to worry about? Most men look worried. It's a way they have of impressing their wives. with their importance. Every hus- band thinks of himself as an Atlas going around with the world on his shoulders. You never see any of them cutting out parties they want to give because of the expense"

CHAPTER XII

q hope I'm not intruding. Per- haps you are busy" Ardath began humbly enough.
 She had long ago realized that humility is a becoming role for a woman dealing with a proud anS spirited man.
 T remembered the lovely pic. lures, and I wanted to sec them 1n e nicer place"
 "No," Alan heard himself say. ing, to his own amazement, in a courteous tone that held none ci his previous irritation, T was painting, but it is nothing that cannot wait"
 "Oh, please! II love to see a picture in the making Couldn't IF"
 I'm afraid not" Alan answered slowly. T paint in my bedroom you see. It isn't @ very conven- tional studio or presentable place.
 "I'm not convention, either And I'm not accustomed to or- derly places. l could never bear to tidy up rooms like some girls I'll have eyes only for the pie ture."
 Alan was amazed at her inter- est. He had not expected artistic enthusiasm from this girl. He had not expected anything. He had scarcely been aware of her those other times.
 But today he was aware of her Not with the same awareness that Jill aroused in him - current of feeling flowing sweetly and deeply between them.
 He knew this girl was here, however. There was something not unpleasantly flattering in the intent look in her eyes, Her hair was the blondeSt he had ever seen. Her eyes were blond eyes, too, If there could be blond eyes; and if you could forget the pur- ple-black and very large rises.
 A tempestuous nature lurked behind the calm, almost express sionless face, he felt sure. She might be none too sharp intellec- tually, but she was elnotionally, Allan realized
 She had the fierce emotional quality lurking in a sleeping tigress. Yes, that was 1t. She was sort of superb animal. A type.
 He would like to put her on can- vaS. Paint her as woman who was emotionally asleep, with slow. sluggish smile on her wide, mobile mouth. A smile that just touched her sleepy eyes. And then paint her again as a women awakened, with a fierce, possessive light in her eyes, her lips curved for a caress.
 For of course woman of this type would have love affairs, which would burn out eventually without ever having aroused any real or lasting devotion.
 Alan had forgotten his prejudice against having woman, or any stranger, invade his private sanc- tuM, and had led the way back to the studio He raised the shade high in the widowed recess, so that the rich tints of his picture might be revealed to his visitor.
 He looked at his portrait; the regal head of a young Russian aristocrat, as he remembered her. He felt a sudden distaste, think ing of the two pictures which had

After she had gone he looked at the small card. Ardath Holm. The name seemed to suit. The address, he told himself, meant nothing to him.
 It was just as well to tear 1t up this small card that was a tangible temptation of some kind.

gasping and shaking and told her Of
seeing the cremation. She also said

fered loan and to let the Carolina
Power and Light Company build it's

Hoey on hot spot observers here to-
day are convinced after reading the
snarling letter written to Governor
Hoey by REA Administrator ]. M. Car
mody and made public in Washing
ton.
In his letter to Governor Hoey, Ad-
ministrator Carmody revealed that a
mass meeting has been called in
Johnston county for Wednesday, July
% as a protest against the action of
the Johnston county cooperative in
refusing the REA loan and that he
would attend this meeting himself.
He also invited Governor Hoey to at
tend it. The purpose of this meeting
will be to determine whether far
mers' electric cooperative can exist in
your State if the power companies
object" Carmody states in his letter.
If the REA finally retires from john
ston county it will only be because
of the expressed will of the farmers
of that county. :. and not because
power company has spent or stands
to spend a million dollars or any
other sum. Nor will it be because of
anv mistaken notion that the Caro-
lima Power and Light Company is
bigger than the state or Federal gov
eminent"
The implications in Carmody's let
ter are clearly to the effect that the
North Carolina State government and
Governor Hoey are dominated by the
power companies, observers here
agree. 1t is also generally agreed that
the calling of the mass meeting Is
a move to save the face OF the FED
eral REA and that the invitation TO
Governor Hoey is extended in the
hope that he will accept it SO that
the Federal REA can put him "on
the SPOT" and compel him to take
position either in favor of the Federal
REA or against it, in which case the
REA will then brand him as a power
company man.

FARM TENANT BILL
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT
Bill Authorizes Agriculture
Department to Make Loans
to Thrifty Farmers for Pur-
chases of Farms; Simmons
Attends Press Conference

Washington, July % (AP)-A high
administration official said today that
despite the Senate's rejection of SUI
preme Court enlargement, President
Roosevelt felt some of his original
aims for court reorganization had
been achieved.
This was coupled with a hint that
the chief executive believed a more
complete and permanent attainment of
his goal would require court legisla-
ton beyond that which Senators, who
virtually killed his court bill, had
been willing to accept.
The court bill opponents, forcing the
measure to be sent back to the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee yesterday,
agreed to certain procedural changes
in the lower courts.
At his regular press conference, the
president declined to comment on the
Senate's action yesterday. He parted
a question as to whether he contem-
plated campaigning for his court pro-
gram by saying he had not done any
campaigning.
Meantime, Mr.. Roosevelt signed leg
islation authorizing the Federal gov
eminent to embark on a program to
aid tenants and share troopers to OBJ
tain farms.
Former Senator Furnifold Simmons,
of North Carolina, was a White House
caller and was introduced by the
president at his press conference.
The bill which followed general re-
concentrations of the chief execu-
tive early in the session, authorizing
the Agriculture Department to make
liberal loans to thrifty tenants to pur-
chase farms. 1t was allowed $4,000
600, $25,OOO,00O in the 1889 and $50,
