strung across the streets. She told
herself it must be the Christmas
feeling in the air that made her do
this daring thing. It was utterly
ridiculous to dress up like a great
lady, but one had to be different at
Christmas. And life had been pretty
dull for Betty since she had to &C.
cept the work she was doing. e..
The story of the opera took her
back to medieval world. In few
moments she was completely lost in
its atmosphere, so much so that
she failed to notice that the man
seated at her right was sending ad-
miring glances in her direction.
When the curtain went up, he leaned
over ahd spoke.
II love this" he said simply.
II do, too" Betty answered. with
a little catch in her voice. It seemed
incredible that he was speaking to
her. He was really acting as if she
belonged. By the time the curtain
went up again they were calling
each other Prince and Princess:
taking the names of the two leading
characters on the stage.
AS the great drama moved to It's
close Betty tried to hurry away. She
didn't want her Prince to find out
what an impostor she was. But he
had taken hold of her arm.
Couldn't we go and have some COZ
fee?" he suggested. II know I'm
a stranger to you. but-but, it's
Christmas-and-"
81 should say no." Betty told
herself 81 should even tell him
the truth about myself" Instead,
she accompanied him to the coffee
shop across the street. She couldn't
deny herself this one hour of happi-
ness. After it was over. well-Bet-
ty would not let her thoughts 60 fur
Their.
She almost forgot that she was
playing part as they sat together.
They seemed to have so much in
common. He had read widely--the
type OF books she liked; he took
an interest in so many things she
liked; seemed to be as romantic
and visionary as herself. But he
spoke no word to indicate that he
wanted to see her again.
Gloom enveloped the world for
Betty next morning. AS if to add
to her humiliation and misery, a
clogged-up drain was sending oozy
brown water back into the sink. Her
feet dragged across the floor as she
answered the plumbers knock.
Then the world spun dizzily
around her for a moment. A rush
Of 10y. of wonder, lifted her heart.
Her Prince was standing in the
doorway, his evening clothes re.
placed by clean blue overalls. his
eood-looking face wrinkled in bewil-
derment
"E thought you were" he
star1mered. :
"And I'll thought you were"
Betty gasped in answer.
When explanations were over, q
nake-believe Prince and Princess
were wondering II Christmas wasn't
The very incest time for . wedding
ceremony.

Swanton Says Interbreed-
ing Most Important
to Mankind
By LOUIS J. SCHAEFLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND. Va, Dec. 81
(UP)-John h. Swanton, Smith
sonian Institution anthropologlst,
yesterday sought to explode the
Nazi theory of racial superiority
and asserted that the inner-breed-
ing Of the races has been more
beneficial to mankind than the
product of any so-callcd pure
strain. ...
Addressing the l03rd annual
meeting of the Association for the
Advancement Of Science, he de-
clared that the doctrine of Aryan
superiority is fallacy and part of
the "shudder complex" employed
by dictatorS to frighten people
into any desired action.
He said that such racial doc
trines are without historical or
biological justification and that
they are being used by the die
tators along with fear psychology
to further their detectives and to
keep the totalitarian state Struc-
ture from crumbling to ruins.
1t is significant, he said, that
pioneers in the civilizing process
belong to the swarthy races" He
added that "if the negroes are not
represented among them, neither
are the Nordics, and both are
probably absent for the same rea'
son-because they are side branch
es of the human family and re.
moved farther from the cultural
centers."
He said that hybridization had
brought greater benefits to the
world than the product Of unmixed
strains. But there was no evidence,
he continued, that human progress
had evolved more from one an
thropoloeical type than from an
other. He cited the Egyptians,
Cretans and the people of the In
dus Valley, whose head structure
varies from that of the Hurrians,
Sumerians, Chinese and Mayans.
Yet, he said, all of these groups
were centers from which cipiliza-
ton sprang. b. >. ...

by dictators. Swanton said that

Much of the mystery about the
physical shape of Dan (Tiger)
Hill, co-captain of the Duke
squad and IL prominent All-Amer-

when Wade placed him on the
starting Blue Devil lineup. Wade
named the same eleven players
who have carried the Duke bur-
den most of the season.
The Blue Devils also eased off
in their workout at the secluded
Brookside Park. 1t was reported
that Wade again had his men
passing while Upton kicked and

uniform with all other players,

ture of the parley, it was learned
that LaGuardia expressed concern
over reports that the administra-
ton would recommend partial de:
Capitalization of WPA rule and
that an attempt would be made to
slash relief funds.
. LaGuardia was said to have en-
pressed the same sentiment when
he conferred with President Roose-
welt. Before going to the White
House, he called on Senator Geo.
w. Norris, Ind, Nehr,, for a gen.
eral discussion of the status OF
liberal forces in congress as a re-
suit of Democratic-New Deal de-
feats in the November general
elections. > -, .ts.-
Norris would not comment after
the conference except to say that
he and LaGuardia were agreed
that the transfer of relief admin
istratioa to the, states would invite
corruption and a marriage be-
tween politics and relief. The, Ne
braska liberal doubted that the
administration would approve such
a move, but agreed that admins
tration of relief could be i'm
proved. ..,s :,

Forthcoming report of the senate
committee on campaign expendi-
lures would thunder against WPA
activities in the Tennessee. Penn
svlvania and Kentucky primaries
Norris said:
az welcome it. The Democratic
party will add considerable to, its
status if it washes its dirty linen
itself"
LaGuardia was equally secretive
about the nature of his conference
with Norris and of his conyersa-
tion with the president. However,
it was learned that he came to the
capital convinced that Republicans
would not be able to supply a ma
tionally-known liberal leader IN
time to- groom him for the 1910
presidential fight. Friends said he
came to the White House to tell
Mr.. Roosevelt that Democrats
could win again in 194o only II
