(Continued from Page D

sued yesterday by the building de- partment and the estimated cost was set at $218,0O0 of which the city is expected to pay about $58,000 before completion. This item, with major school project, was not included in the list of preferred projects" which the board of public works submitted to the other city boards for approval and appropriations last month, in line with the program resulting from delays of Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland. The con- troller had refused to honor requisi- tions for materials saying that cer- tain specific appropriations might be in danger of overdrafts, although the total available for WPA work in the city's share was in excess of the amounts sought.
 The matter of the stadium has been included in the special call for the board of aldermen's meeting and will be part of the board of finances business, as well. The lat ter board is expected to vote rec ommendation of the transfer so that the aldermen may arrange for the appropriation.
 Materials bought by the govern met on hand include such items as the following:
 115,000 building bricks
 5000 bags of Portland cement
 25,OO0 lbs. steel beams.
 24 steel window frames
 5000 it. channel furring
 12,500 it. staging lumber
 450 it. copper flashing
 300 lbs. nails
 APO lbs. iron wire
 1.400 it. brass pipe
 460 it. iron pipe
 $50 it. cast iron pipe
 322 pieces cast iron fittings
 105 pieces malleable iron fittings
 603 pieces brass pipe fittings
 56 standard brass gate valves.
 This list of materials is valued al $7500 and considerably more will be purchased by the government dur ing this month and April before the stadium is completed, it was re- ported.
 Another suggestion for a WPA project at the board of works meet ing was for a conduit from Merider road to Woodland avenue, to Circu- lar avenue, to the end of the street and through private property tt Frost road to control brook pres. ently flooding sections of Fairlawn A righ-of-way must first be ob. tained and the board recommended this procedure, the city engineer thereafter to seek a WPA projec for the work.

For seventeen years, o. o. Nc
Intyre wrote column entitled
New York Day BY Day." Four
hundred and ninetyeight news
papers printed it, about twenty
million people read it daily.
He was the most celebrated COM
mentator on New York life that the
old town has ever known; and yet
he was born out in Missouri and
never saw New York until he was
thirty-four.
To millions of people, Oscar Odd
McIntyre-or "Odd" as his friends
called him-was the most famous
person in New York.
I was down in Amarillo, Texas,
few years ago, and I found that
folks down there talked about only
two people in New York-the late
o. o. Mcintyre and the late Arthur
Brisbane.
There were a lot of odd things
about Odd Mcintyre. For example,
he was paid $3.50 per week for
writing his daily column; yet he
never talked, face to face more than
three times in his life with the man
who payed him that salary.
He made more than 100000 a
year by writing; yet he didn't have
a stenographer. He pecked it all
out himself on portable type
writer.
Odd Mcintyre hadn't the slightest
desire to go on the air, though he
was offered thirty-one radio con-
tracts in one year. One concern
agreed to put microphone right in
his Ney York apartment and pay

was sickly and incompetent and so
he was fired.
Then he started to do the thing
ne had always wanted to do. He
began writing daily piece about
New York. But nobody wanted to
publish it; so, in order to get a
start, he gave it away to news
papers, until he created demand
for his work.
Odd Mcintyre, the typical man
about town, didn't drink and didn't
smoke. The only thing he offered
me was package of chewing gum.

him five hundred dollars a minute
for talking in front of it; but he
wouldn't do it. He said he got
goose pimples at the very thought
of it.
I asked him why he turned down
these fabulous offers, and he said,
well, because I don't know how to
talk" He told me he tried to make
speech once at dinner given for
Jack Dempsey in Los Angeles; and
when he stood up, he was so scared
that he swallowed and stammered
and couldn't say a word.
Odd Mcintyre was born in Platts-
burg, Missouri, where his father ran
hotel. His mother died when he
was three years old; and so he was
reared by his grandmother, in Gal
lipolis, Ohio.
Odd Mcintyre worked as night
clerk in the hotel in Gallipolis, and
there he saw travelling men from
New York-men who wore spats
and talked about Broadway with a
knowing air. This country boy was
tremendously impressed by all this
glamour; so he resolved to travel
himself.
He had no money and no "pull,"
but he had youth and the fire of am
: bition in his heart. He read all the
books he ould find about New
Yorq; and, after working on News
papers in Ohio for several years he

Chinese Army Halts Japanese
Drive Towards China Capital
Expedition Halted By Hundred
Thousand Chinese. Bitter
Battle Is Raging.

Hongkong, Oct. 17.-One hundred
thousand well-equipped Chinese
troops entrenched in strong posi-
tions As miles east Of Canton were
reported to have stopped the Japan
csc south China expedition tonight
in bitter fighting.
The battle still ragged near Wong
tong, the japanese meeting the first
serious resistance of their five-day
overland drive from Bias bay, where
they landed more than 10000 troops
Wednesday.
The engagement appeared to be
the first major battle to determine
the fate of Canton, vital to Chinese
defence as source of supplies to
armies 600 miles to the north.
The Chinese defenders at Wong
tong were said to be well-entrench-
ed and equipped with field guns and
howitzers,, with anti-air-craft de-
lenses being formed rapidly.
Railway Cut
The resistance apparently checked
the invaders after a 45-mile inland
drive which already has resulted in
cutting the Canton-Kowloon rail-
way. According to japanese army
announcement tonight, this was
done at several points" not named
but believed to be between Pingwu,
Is miles north of the Hongkong
frontier, and Cheungmuktau, half
way to Canton.
The road from Canton to TSengh-
sing, SO miles east and slightly north
of Canton, was reported completely
blocked by Chinese reinforcements
moving up.
Details of the japanese advance
disclosed today included a story OF
how one Cantonese division, the
151st, aided by few thousand vol
unteers, fought, in a rear guard ac-
ton without rest for four days and
four nights in an attempt to block
the invasion.

She knew it and he knew it and for
moment it looked as though he would
do it. He came across the kitchen at
her, but Maxine held her ground.
Everything was gone now but sheer
female instinct. lie did not dare lay a
hand on her. He was twice as big as
she, ten times as strong. And he was
so mad he had lost all reason. But he
daren't touch her.
He stopped before her. For mo-
ment there was no sound in the kitchen
but their labored breathing. Then Cal
said, carelessly, IAN right - you win
- then III get out!' He turned and
plunged out of the kitchen. and the
front door slammed behind him hard
enough to shake the whole building.
Maxine stood still. The reverbera-
tions of their quarrel died away and
left complete silence and emptiness.
For long time she stood there in the
kitchen waiting. But Cal did not come
back. The silence stretched out
thinner and thinner until it seemed
there was not enough air to breathe.
She felt oddly hungry, and remem-
bered that she had not eaten since
morning and not much then.
She felt the need of food as though
she had a big job ahead of her
and must eat first. She opened her
enamelled bread box and got some
bread, spread it thickly with butter
and strawberry preserves and poured
herself a glass of milk. She didn't like
pasteurlzed milk but it didn't seem to
matter now. She ate several good
thick slices of buttered bread and pre-
serves and drank a pint of milk She

Back beauty, she says. properly

that too-often-neglected area between
and below the shoulder blades. Fill
your tub with warm water, softened
with handful of borax, bicarbonate
of soda or epson salts. Use long
handled brush. and sprinkle its bristles
freely with powdered or liquid soap.
or, better still, with one of the granular
washing preparations whose magic lit
tie grains help to work up friction,
flush out clogged pores, and slough off
dead cutlcles Then use it thoroughly.
