and come home to a house of ill
ness.
So she read herself sleepy in the
confines of her lovely bedroom
where she was attended by a
trained nurse, while Joel went to
his parties.
The first few nights, he stole
softly into her room to tell her
about them, to kiss her good night.
But then as week stretched on
into the second one, he stopped
those visits and Janet had him
alone only for a few minutes in
the morning and briefly at night.
She had her dinner on a tray
and was conscious that Joel was
anxious to get away from the at
mosphere of sick room.
Her fever had left her weak and
the first night that she went to a
concert with Joel, she wasn't up
to going on to someone's house
later. Larry Kelton was in the
party. He said he had to start
shooting at the next morning
and he was anxious TO get home
early. He took Janet home and
accepted her invitation 20 stop for
something to eat.
Janet had loved the concert.
Joel was bored. She was glad to
have Larry to talk it over with
her. He shared her enjoyment Of
music and knew no more about it
than she did.
It was after 1 when he left.
The next week, he rang her UP
and asked her if she'd like to go to
hear LA Boheme" which was be-
ing sung by visiting opera COM
pany at the Hollywood Bowl.
He didn't ask her if Joel would
like to go. 1t was the first invita-
ton she had received from a man
since she had been married. Larry
was a friend Of Joel's and she
didn't know how to answer him.
She said she'd love to go but she
wasn't quite sure whether she had
made any arrangements for that
evening and asked him to call her
back.
She wanted to talk it over with
Joel.
It'd really love to go, Joel, but
feel so queer about accepting an
invitation that doesn't include you.
You don't really care about opera,
though, do you?"
Joel laughed at her anxiety.
Little goose, you know I simply
a n opera. Go ahead by all
means"
Luz you don't really mind ?"

! Mind because you're having a
date?"
She nodded her head.
"Of course not! Good Lord,
Janet, you're not in Chester now.
And you're not living In the early
nineties! Didn't I tell you when
we were first married that I al
ways wanted you to feel free to
do anything you liked, to go where
you wanted to, and with whom YOU
pleased ?"
She said yes, he had. And she
thought: But I'll never want to
go anywhere without you, or want
to go with anyone else in prefer
e1ce to you. She wanted to say:
You can talk about freedom in
marriage but you can't make YOUR
self feel free, you shouldn't want
to.
She knew that by giving her her
ticket to such things, Joel was
making himself as free as he
wanted her to be.
She went to the opera with
Larry Kelton and put her mind in
order as precisely as she dressed.
She was going to enjoy herself.
She wasn't going to feel like an
old-fashioned wife. She was mod
ern.
She learned to be modern. She
played golf with Jim Somebody or
other who was visiting from New
York. She met foreign director
at the Jarrett's house and ac-
copied his invitation to cocktails
one afternoon. She forgot to tell
Joel that the flowers she wore that
night were from Franz, the direc-
tor. She gave all the outward ap-
pearances of having a lovely time.
killing time with a number Of peo-
pie. But she was not having a
lovely time.
There was a nameless ache in
her heart when she thought of the
days and nights that she had
shared-and only sl1e-with Joel.
Joel was not running around" but
he had his dates as CASUALLY as
she had hers and apparently it did
not disturb their happiness or their
routine.
But Janet could have had three
dates a day with three different
men and she couldn't have told YOU
a thing one of them said to her
when the date was over. Her
dates were only shadows blending
into the other shadows of those
passing days.
Then she met Russell Bede.

NAVY Hunts for Amelia

Z OUR ships of the United States
\ navy, with attendant airplanes;
two ships of the Japanese navy,
and a British freighter secured the
vast wastes of the South Pacific
in an effort to find and rescue
Amelia Earhart Putnam, Americas
No. l woman flyer, and her navi-
gator, Fred Noonan. The pair had
been forced down before complet-
ing the 2,570-mile hop from New
Guinea to Rowland island, a "leg"
of their 'round-the-w world flight.
Signals received from the hapless
flyers were so weak that it was
impossible to tell whether they were
afioat at sea or marooned on some
tiny island, and as the days passed
it became doubtful that many of
the radio messages which served
as clues for the searchers were
from the two at all.
So alarmed was the world at the
loss of Amelia and her companion,
the United States even sent out the
giant aircraft carrier Lexington
with SO planes aboard, which, it
was said, could explore an area of
$4,000 square miles in five or six
hours.

Strike Riot Kills Two

ONE striker and one policeman
- were killed and twenty men
were injured at an aluminium plant
in Alcoa, Tenn, when rioting broke
out as 5000 strikers started a back
to-work movement. The plant, be-
longing to the Aluminium Company
of America, had been closed since
May Is, when the strike was called
by the Aluminium Workers of Amer
lea, and affiliate of the American
Federation of Labor. Difference in
wages paid at Alcoa and at the COM
pany's plant in New Kensington,
Pa, was the issue in the strike.
State troops were on hand, b u t
Adjt.-Gen. r. o. Smith, in charge,
said that they were there merely
to protect rights, and no martial
law had been declared.
Violence continued in the friction
between steel and labor as one
unidentified man was killed and six
injured when striking workers of
the Republic plant at Massilon,
Ohio, brushed with city police near
a union hall.

Rebels Fall from Madrid

CPANISH rebel forces which took
~ Bilbao after the city's first sue
cessful siege are still finding Madrid
tough nut to crack. In a two-day
battle the loyalist forces broke
through the siege lines about the
city, captured the villages Of Villa
neuva de la Canada and Brunette,
and threatened to cut the besieging
rebels off from their main forces.
So nearly successful was the at
tempt to rout the rebel forces that
the latter were forced to admit new
troops might have to be withdrawn
from other fronts, delaying tempo
rarily the drive on Santander, next
rebel objective on the Biscayan
coast. The loyalists were reported
to have recaptured 100 square miles
of territory about Madrid.
Meanwhile, the fall of Bilbao was
expected to add 100000 refugees to
the constant stream pouring into
loyalist Valencia.

fred upon the gendarmes and opened
up with trench mortars against the
Japanese contingent at the Yuanping
station. This action allegedly COM
PEELED the Japanese to make night
assault, costing 20 lives, in order to
occupy the towns of Lungwangmiao
and Tungshinghwan. 1t was said
the Chinese troops had also adj
vanced into these points.
Officials of the Hopei-Chahar coun-
Gil claimed the Japanese moves
were in open violation of the truce.
They further accused the Japanese
of conducting night army maneu-
vers, using real bullets instead of
the blanks ordinarily employed in
maneuvers. AS Emperor Hirohito
and Premier Fumimaro Konoe con-
ferred with military leaders and the
cabinet, the Japanese people franti-
cally prepared for the war that
doomed.
China's Marking government gave
orders to Gen. Sung Cheh yuan,
commander of the North China
forces, that his army was not to re-
treat for any reason, but was to be
prepared to make the supreme
sacrifice" to hold its position until
Gen. Chang Kai-shek should arrive
over the Peiping-Hankow railroad
with $4,000 fresh troops.
China's demands for truce were
considered intolerable by the jap
anese government. They included:
/. Japan must assume response
bility for the incident"
2. Japan must express regret.
3. Japan must pay damages to the
Chinese and submit guarantees
against such incidents in the future.
Japan made counter demands at
first reported to be accepted by the
Chinese, later repudiated by them.
These were:
l. Withdrawal of all Chinese
troops from the area about Marco
Polo bridge.
2. Punishment for "the Chinese
responsible for the conflict"
8. Adequate control OF all anti
Japanese activities in North China.
4. Enforcement of measures
against communism.
AS the fighting continued in the
Peiping area, with no hope of an
effective compromise on the two ma
tons demands, war seemed the
probable result.

Struggle in the Senate

TWELVE Democratic senators
= and one Farmer-Laborite were
believed to hold the fate of the
administration substitute for the
original bill which would increase
the number of Supreme court
justices to Is. The administration
was certain that the bill would re-
ceive at least 80 votes, with 40
necessary to a majority. Forty
three senators were definitely COM
Initted against it. Thirteen were
still uncommitted as the battle
ragged on the senate floor and in the
cloakrooms.
The twelve uncommitted Demo-
Gratis were: Andrews (Fla.), Bone
(Wash.), Brown IN. HI, Caraway
(Ark.), Duffy wis.,, Johnson
(Colo.), Lewis (Ill.), Murray
(Mont.) J, Overton (La.), Pep
per (Fla.), Russell, Jr. (Ga.) and
Wagner IN. ". Lundeen (Minn.)
was the Farmer-Laborite.
The substitute for the original
Ashurst bill provides for appoint
ment of one new justice each year
to every justice remaining on the
court after reaching the age of
seventy-five years.
1t was believed that public opin-
ion would decide the commitment
Of the senators ION the fence" If
it becomes apparent that public
opinion is against the substitute as
it was against the original bill. it is
likely that the administration lead
ers in the senate will propose an
amendment preventing the substi-
tute bill from including present
members Of the court. This would
postpone the enlargement of the
court until some new appointee be-
comes seventy-five.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1937-07-23

confusion, of course, is nothing new
in this combination of sport and
business that is called baseball. For
instance, there are the White Sox.
When the lamented Charles Comis-
key was in his prime the team
made money and won pennants. AS
he became older he slipped into a
mingling of uncertainty and stub
bornness that caused him to lean too
heavily upon poorly equipped vol
unteer advisers. For years then,
and after his death, the White Sox
neither made money nor won PEN
nants. Now happy understanding
between field and office is bringing
success again.
There also are the Giants. For
almost twenty-five years John j.
McGraw was the supreme authority
and the club was one of basebalPs
grandest successes. Then some of
the players discovered that it was
not impossible to go over the cold
Mans" head. The next pennant was
not won until Bill Terry, who would
not accept the job until granted full
and unquestiOned control, had be-
come manager.
Other examples bob quickly to
mind. Bucky Harris, who managed
two pennant-winning teams under
the overlordship of Clarke Griffith
in Washington, was not success
in Boston. Marty McManus, for
many reasons very popular with the
fans, was separated from Red Sox
managerial duties ahead of Harris.
During the several seasons since he
has taken over the same rap, Joe
Cronin may have yearned for the
peaceful days when he merely had
to fight over signs and trades with
his father-in-law.
Similarly, there is Cleveland. Billy
Evans, the business manager, and
Walter Johnson, the manager, had
q pretty time there, while pennant
dreams faded in the heat OF their
feud. Then a new business manager
and new manager drew the black
spots. The quarrels have been no
less entertaining and destructive.
And meanwhile the Yankees, ruled
by Ed Barrow, and the Tigers, di-
rected by Mickey Cochrane, con-
tinue to cash World Series checks.
In mentioning this, though, have
no desire to be unkind to the various
gentlemen who have devoted their
years - at salaries considerably
more handsome than the reSults?-
to the executive end of the game.
merely am stating facts that are
very well known to any one who
ever has poked an inquisitive nose
into a major league dugout.
That these facts always include
the case of club precariously guild
ed by two discordant sets of direc-
tors, a bank, business manager,
a probate court, manager, club
house janitor, a pitcher and an in
fielder does not particularly disturb
me now.
