 When the waiter had set the thin-stemmed glasses on the table, she said suddenly, 'Why don't you tell me what you know about Betty and Speddon?"
 Meals smile faded. His eyes grew serious as he answered, "1'd like to, Martha. I really mean that. But-well, it just wouldn't be-shall I say, good business'?"
 And that business is what?"

 But Martha refused to accept his evasion. You do admit that you know more of what's happened than you've told me, then?"
 "Well t. :" drowning, he set down his cocktail. "1've told you I'm acquainted with Speddon. I've admitted that you and Betty may be involved in something which can have serious consequences. I've explained my disappearance from the trailer" He smiled disarming- ly. "The bitter truth is that I've only one piece of information that you yourself don't know. l wish it were more - much more."
 But that one piece of informa- tion might be the key to the whole II; KA

 Neal looked at her squarely. T understand, Martha. And before very long think we'll be hitting this thing head-on. Until then, I'm going to keep quiet. Cheer up, now. I've reserved a little table at the Deauville."
 Martha sagged visibly. For a moment she had been hopeful that Neal was going to confidep in her. "Why-why must you be so mad deningly stubborn"
 You'll know that, too, when the time comes, Martha. I've said it before, and I repeat - just trust your Uncle Gerry for while longer. It's your best chance. now, if you'll pardon the immodesty." !"
 She knew that he hoped the cocktail and the glamorous sur- roundings of the Deauville Club would take her mind off Betty's disappearance. But tonight it was no use. Realizing that she was for the moment helpless, Martha did try to enter into the spirit of the Deauville. But she was not as successful as she had been that exciting day in Del Monte. The little table with its softly shaded lamp, the smooth orchestra, the delicous dinner Gerry ordered, were not enough to make her for exclaim at the tiny metal bar set get. She attempted to be gay, to like jewel on a dias at one end of the room. She tried to inter est herself in the smart, beauti- fully gowned women who are as much a part of San Francisco as its breathless hills. But it would not work.

 He took her hand. ''I know. And you're right in wanting to go ahead and follow SloSs' inStruc- tions. I have an idea it will solve things quicker than anything we can do"
 She didn't ask him why. She was too weary with asking Neal questions which went unanswered. He could, she told herself irri- tably, make enigmatic statements from now until doomsday. But when they returned to the hotel and Neal accompanied her to the door of her room, she held out her hand
 You've been awfully nice. T. I'm sorry to have been such a dud." Neal held her gaze searchingly In 8 sudden movement he had taken her in his arms and she heard him whisper, Martha :. Martha, love you!"

EUROPE was broken up into
 small duchies and principalities in the early 14th century, when it first began to be organized by King Charles I into what later be- came the German empire. He was son of the blind King John, first of the Luxemburg dynasty which ruled Bohemia until 1437. He be- came King of Bohemia tipon bis fathers death at the Battle of Crecy, in 1346, and immediately was crowned King of Germany.
 Then began his series of wars that brought additional lands and greater power to him and his descendants. Thus he spread his influence across the Alps to Italy, and into Bavaria and the TyroL By these acts, according to the great Emperor Maximilian I, Charles became the ttstepfather' of the empire. e.
 Yet he is regarded more as the father" and builder of Bohemia. for he raised that country to a high state of prosperity.
 When he died, in 1878, at the age of 62, he divided his pos sessions among his three sons.

Brain TWizzlers By Prot. ). D. Flint

Genealogy is 8 great thing. Some people spend half their time study ing their own family history or talk ing about 1t. It's worse than gossip.
 One of the prominnet women in c small town did good deal of bragging about her flourishing, deep rooted family tree until she found that the tree also cast some shade. While reading about her great grandpa Ichabod she learned that Ichabod, the old reprobate, had been quite a gay blade in his day. He had been famous for the beautiful women who had always sought his company. The record showed that in his family life he had married the sister of his widow in 1885, just about the time he started making q fortune in a business venture. His hragging descendant was chagrined it this and quite puzzled as to how such situation could be. What IS the explanation?

some who turn to a more serious
bent.
Fletcher G. Speed was such a

Yesterday his ingenuity was re-
warded with one of the highest
honors that fashioner of models
can achieve.
His model Of the Royal Blue" ="
crack train of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, running between
Washington and New York. found
a place in the National Museum
among other examples of mechan-
ical genius.
The model, a perfect miniature
of the fast train, was picked from
among numerous other entries in
a contest sponsored by the rail-
road, Speed also was awarded a
$500 prize for his work.
Charles w. Galloway, vice preSi-
dent of the railroad presented the
model to DR.. Alexander Wetmore,
director of the museum. He ex-

International News Service


The Senate today studied the
Robinson resolution to clear all
doubt as to the eligibility of Jo-
seph P. Kennedy, former chair
man of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, to serve as
head of the new Maritime Com
mission.
The resolution was introduced
by Senator Robinson Cd of
Arkansas, majority leader, to
hasten Senate confirmation OF the
appointment by President Roose-
welt. Some question arose as to
Kennedy's eligibility for the post
because he owned a small bloc OF
stock in a shipbuilding concern.
McNary Objected
The measure was sent 1mmedl-
ately to the Commerce Commit
tee, headed by Senator Copeland
Cd of New York, when Senator
McNary (R) of oregon, minority
leader, objected to Robinson'S re-
quest for immediate consideration.
At first it was believed the resolu-
tion was one of confirmation. 1t
read that Kennedy's appointment
"shall not be deemed to be in vio-
lation of the provisions" Of the
maritime act.
In view of the apparent popu-
larity of the New Yorker on both
sides of the Senate, Robinson
asked that the resolution be given
prompt consideration by the COM
mittee. McNary said he had no
personal objection to Kennedy's
appointment, but declared Robin
sons suggested method of proce-
dure was unparalleled and un-
precedented in the Senate" He re-
uuested that the resolution follow
the usual course and be referred
to an appropriate committee.
Approval Predicted
Senator Copeland. author Of the
maritime act, predicted the COM
mittee would approve the reSolu-
ton today. He said there was no
objection to the appointment
among committee members but
that some of the lawyer members
want to make sure the act was
not being violated.

u. s. ECONOMY
IS BLAMED IN
AIRCRASHES
Interna tional News Service

part of the blame for major
commercial aviation disasters to-
dav was placed on excessive Gov
ernmental economy by Chairman
James Mead Cd Of New York, Oh
the House Post office Committee,
who has handled all air-mail leg
islation for six years in the House
He declared:
Two economy waves, one dur
ing the Hoover administration
and one during the first two
wears Of the Roosevelt admins
tration, deprived Government
bureaus of sufficient funds for
regulation and experimentation.
DEFECTS IN BUREAUS
"There are defects in radio
beams and other instruments
and navigation aids. Intensive
experimental development and
research is necessary to make
up lost ground. The economy
as not directed at commercial
aviation, but was a part Of = gem
eral effort by the adminiStra-
tions and Congress to balance
the budget.
"The aviation heads Of the
Commerce Department, in my
opinion, have been unjuStly
blamed for the impairment Of
navigation aids. One aviator
has written me that the Vidal
administration in the depart
ment even cut the wattage in
aviation beacOnS. but that was
because Congress had reduced
funds"
PROPOSES PROGRAM
The economy wave also de
prived the Advisory Committee or
AeronauticS of funds with which
to do intensive research and de
velopment work, Mead said.
Mead today proposed new pro
gram for civil aviation. He urgec
that the Postoffice retain entire
control of air mail, that the Com
merce Department be assigned
promotional work, licensing anc
experimentation, that the Inter
state Commerce Commission bt
assigned safety work in addition
to control over rates, and that al
air mail pilots be given two
months intensive training each

Changed Attitudes

The American Negro today feels like American
than he did before the World War He thinks clearly
international affairs than he did before 1916.
Nothing apy illustrates this fact than the chang
ing attitude of American Negroes towards Japan Years
the cooed people who read and schooed and those
who not trained greatly admired the enterprise and
warke attitude of little brown Japan Elders heard
say that should Japan attack this country because she
member of the darker races the invaders might be received
cordially by the oppressed black brothers.
There those who will deny this but it is true that
large portion of Negro America actually wOrshpped the Japs
from affair." For the Chinese there little but feeling of
pity.
Today practically all of that worship interest and SYM
pathy which Negro America exhibited for jauny Japan is
gone Whether this because this group of people feels
keeny its American citizenship whether events and
Japans pugnacous attitude have changed the feeling of
naturally sympathetic people toward her is not completely
clear All know is that today most Negro feowcitzens
meet out of sympathy with Japan the former idol
of the American black man.
An important element in this phenomenon is the chang
ing international values the rise of class struggles and the
wholesale campaign to include the Negro in such movements
With Fascsm and Communism battling for supremacy the
Negro has become that while he citizen of the
world he is also citizen of America and that his future is
tied with Americans and the dream of joining hands with
brothers of similar hue is far away

that a dozen or so years ago as l
have become since.
About that time a young fellow
came to me as he did to number
of other Minneapolis citizens, to
interest US in a newspaper he pro-
posed to start. l wasn't much in
terested. He was only about
twenty-one. That was the first diff
ficulty. Then l recalled we had
had for years a paper published in
St. Paul. 1t wasn't much of an in
vestment. Its editorials were sent
from Washington, D. c., and had
only a national angle. Its local
news was chiefly the social activi-
ties of those in the higher brackets.
Local advertisers patronized it but
little. The publisher was a prac-
teal printer, set his own type and
ran off his own paper. 1t came to
me and to others for years with
never a bill to follow. 1t earned
enough to support one mans fam
lily. That's all anyone seemed to
expect. Remembering all Of that /

young fellow who thought he could
make a community asset and liv-

But Youth VIII Be Served" ]
am glad to recall as l look back
over those years that ! wrote the
first editorial for the new sheet.
For it did start. 1t opened a new
vista to the people of our two
cities. A community paper with a
community outlook. A paper that
looked after the man lowest down
as we'll as the man highest up.
The young fellow worked on the
railroad while he edited his paper.
He wrote editorials on the way to
Frisco or Chicago or New York
wherever his train was sent and
mailed them back to Minneapolis.
l helped him for two or three
years. But there were factors that
barred progress. He fought
against odds for seven years long
er. He was no longer a young fell
low. A man approaching the line
toward middle age. 1t was time
to cut loose from hampering moor
ings. He cut. Once more in the
field to reach his goal; a real paper
with a real objective. This time
he asked no mans help though he
did seek advice. Pooling all his
resources and calling upon all his
energy he began the publication of,
this time, two papers. One for
each twin of the twin towns.
The wiseacres said he might last
month or two. That was all of
four years ago.

four years l see one of the most

With but little other than ex-
perience and courage he has built
two papers that rank highest
among the 80 of their class in the
