Relief

AS enacted, social security is IN
surance based on a mans lifetime
earnings. But Depression and Re-
cession have shown that some never
earn enough to retire comfortably.
For this reason, also because 1888
has brought an alarming rebirth of
pension ideas (Townsendism had
100 supporters in the last congress)
social security will probably be re-
vised next winter in the face of
such 'short cuts to Utopia" as Cal
ifornia's ''$30-every-Thursday" plan.
Changes Franklin Roosevelt re-
portedly wants: Q) Beginning of
old age insurance payments in 1910
instead of 1912; CD increasing mini
mum monthly old-age payments
from $40 to $50, decreasing maxi
NUNS from $85 to $50; (3) pay
ments to widows and orphans of
workers equal to those received by
a man retiring at IS.
Already announced are plans to
expand social security among 49,
600, 900 now excluded: Farm la
borers, domestics, seamen, federal
reserve bank employees, and pos
sibly sef-employed persons.

White House

Like any other hospital visitor
with time on his hands, Franklin
Roosevelt waited impatiently at
Rochester, Mimi, watching Son
James on the mend from his gas
trio ulcer operation. Finally he
went riding on Minnesota's rain
soaked roads, found his car mired,
stopped to chat 20 minutes with a
farmer about crop prices. Out

would try to raise them.

correspondents were told: cat this
time, Minnesota is not a news

to the frontier and won brief Sc
ries of skirmishes that took on the
temporary aspect of civil war.
Since further trouble would GER
tainly bring Germany to the rescue,
since France and Russia are bound
by treaty to aid Czechoslovakia,
since Great Britain must aid
France, this overnight turn of
events assumed international impor-
lance. In Berlin, the press cried
out at "terrors of the Czech police"
France maintained her high-pitched
military machine and looked, as
usual, to London.
Next afternoon came the most
precedent-setting move yet made. A
thoroughly frightened Prime Minis
ter Neville Chamberlain announced
he would take his first airplane ride,
crossing the channel to Berchtes-
gaden for conference with Adolf
Hitler. Said he: 81 am going to
see the German chancellor because
>. discussions between him and
me may have useful consequences"
Later the same day he landed at
Munich, sped to Berchtesgaden,
where Der Fuehrer was waiting.
For three hours Britain's strong
man talked to Germany's strong
man, then Neville Chamberlain
emerged to tell the world he was
returning to London, would come
back to see Hitler in few days.
What happened at Berchtesgaden
was mere conjecture. Best guesses
said London and Paris seek four
power pact with Germany and Italy,
since Prime Minister Chamberlain
visit was suggested by French Pre-
mier Edouard Daladier. No one
could figure how the source of this
trouble, Czechoslovakia, fit into the
picture, but it was clear Der
Fuehrer would accept little short of
outright autonomy for his Sudeten
friends.
The Chamberlain flight brought
little but gloom in Prague, where
resistance stiffened and an angry
cabinet ordered Konrad Henlein's
arrest. But Fuehrer Henlein, who
had just broadcast proclamation
demanding Sudeten. union with Ger
many, was already fleeing to Mu-
mich. In the mood she was in,
Czechoslovakia was ripe for loud
broadcasts that came from Moscow
that night, assailing Neville Cham
berlain's .sellout'' to Fascism, urg-
ing Prague to flight to the last"
against Germany.

CHAPTER XII

f Judy Alcott didn't want to go to Dwight Campbells wedding, She shrank from the thought of 1t equal ly as much as she had shrunk from the very idea of acting as brides maid. But not to appear would be to confirm, undeniably and forever that what people weer saying about her was true.
 The bridge party, that afternoon, had been bad enough. Maybe the others had tried to be kind. They had succeeded only in emphasizing the fact that they were thinking of her as the girl Dwight had tilted. By their very omissions - by the careful way no one spoke of the wedding invitations that everyone had received that morning-they made the thing huge and plain and unacceptable. Judy Alcott, the girl Dwight tilted. Be kind to Judy. Don't mention the wedding
 She had lived through the bridge party. Even smiled and laughed and thanked her hostess for good time. She had lived through the tea that Mrs. Lane, as the wife of Dwight's skipper, could not avoid giving. But every time she remem- bered those tortured minutes in Mrs. Lanes living room, she clench- ed her hands.
 She and Jack Hanley came in late. Purposely, Judy wanted the room filled with people, with talk and laughted, so that no one would notice her especially. But as it hap pened, Mrs. Lane was pouring tea when they arrived, and Marvel was sitting in a wing chair, Dwight bending over her solicitously. Mrs. Lane had evidently called some re- mark to Marvel across the small space between the table and the chair where Marvel sat, because there was Hull in the room-one of those waiting hushes.
 And as Dwight smiled down at his flancee, Jack Hanley and Judy came into the room.

men in civilian clothes were not the same type as the naval officers, but they looked bland and accustomed to ease.
 Lilies were banked at the altar. There were tall ferns, the scent of flowers. Judy closed her gloved hand tightly on her bag. She must stop thinking. She must get through this somehow without giv- ing in to the wild desire to scream.
 The organs sonorous pealing began. Jack whispered, They're doing it up brownl" and Judy gave him tiny, grateful smile.
 It was then, while the organ played, that Judy saw the man again. The one who had lunched with Marvel. That smooth, dark head; the self-possessed, assured air. The long, thin face-the lips that were set in an almost mock ing expression. She had never forgotten him. The man who was so perfectly the sort Marvel would know. There was no doubt about it-it was he.
 But of course" Judy said to herself, He'd be at her wedding if he's friend of hers" Yet that had been more than 8 friendly lunch. She remembered again the way the mans hands had reached for Marveps.
 There was stir in the church, and people turned their heads. The bride. The bride coming down the aisle, on the arm of her uncle.
 Jack said involuntarily, By God, she looks good!" She did, Judy ad- mitted. Her dress was of exquisite white tulle. It billowed about her like soft, lacy clouds. The shining, burning red of her hair was vailed by a simple length of tulle, crowned by a tiny wreath of orange blos- soms. There was color only in her hair, and in the Haunting, amazing fact that instead of the traditional white bouquet, Marvel was carrying deep red roses. Rich, hearts blood red.
 Judy watched her walk slowly down the aisle. Dwight, his love shining in his eyes, was waiting for her. Judy felt sob gather ing in her throat. Her fingers went to her lips, but before she could stifle it, Jack had heard her moan, T can't stand it! I can't, I can'tp

NO MAIL DELIVERY
 ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Postmaster Also Urges Im-
 mediate Dispatch of For- i eign Mail, Package

Postmaster Charles A. Babin to- day inaugurated campaign to stress the importance of early mail- ing for Christmas. At the present moment he considers foreign mail- ings paramount, and points out that if packages are to reach foreign ports by Christmas, they should be mailed at once.
 In statement today he com mented:
 owing to the long sea travel in- volved in getting mail to foreign countries, and to customs inSpec- tions abroad, parcels for foreign countries should be mailed during the month of November to assure delivery by Christmas day. The im- portance of securely and substant- ially packing every parcel cannot be stressed too strongly because of climatic conditions and the numer- ous handlings to which parcels for foreign destinations are unavoidably subjected en route.
 "All packages destined for foreign countries should be mailed at the Main Office, due to the various pro- hibitionS and limits of weights and sizes of packages to certain coun- tries.
 While it is true that letter mail for foregin countries does not re- quire as much time as parcel post, greeting cards should be mailed be- fore December 1st to most foreign countries. After that date, greeting cards should bear Air Mail postage, especially to South American coun- tries. Canal Zone, Puerto Rico, and other island possessions, including Hawaii.
 Unless addressed to a U. s. pos- session, foreign Air Mail should be marked Par Avion" (By Air MaiD and inquiry should be made at the post office for the correct rate.
 Patrons are requested to mail early as there will be mail delivery on Christmas Day."

mediately put up $4,000 If either
decides his horse is unfit the other

VIRGINIA GOLFERS
UNDER HANDICAP
Familiarity With Course
Asset for Washington
in Pro Series.
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Unless the Virginia pros come to
Washington day in advance Of the
match for practice round over the
Washington course where a $4,000
challenge joust between Washington
and Virginia pros will be played on
October l6, the local lads will have q
big edge in the Washington half Of
the contest. All four of the Wash
ington boys who will face the Virginia
team on october 16 now are playing
in the District open title tourney. and
by the time that affair finishes to-
morrow they'll know all the bad spots
by heart.
But it won't be SO with three of the
Virginia lads unless they get in some
practice licks before the contest. Al
Houghton is the lone member of the
Virginia team who knows the course.
Chandler Harper, Bobby Cruickshank
and Erie Ball never have played it.
Roll of Greens May Decide.
All Of which may mean something.
Unlike lot Of golf courses where
you can see the objective of every
shot before you hit the ball, the
Washington layout is one which needs
lot of knowledge Of the kicks and
rolls you get at the tail end of your
shot These little matters and the
way the green's roll we'll may decide
the Washington end of the match in
favor of the local mentors.
Another contest will be played over
the James River course of the Coun-
try Club Of Virginia on October %,
with the $4,000 purse hanging on the
outcome Of the two matches. The
money is all in the hands Of Dave
Thomson, Washington pro, who Is
treasurer Of the affair. The pros have
put up a little Of the dough, and each
will receive expenses, while the bal
ance of the money taken in at the
gate will 60 to the caddy fund of the
Washington Golf and Country Club.
Probable Line Ups Given.
Here is the way the teams probably
will line up: Witty Cox, Washington,
against Chandler Harper. Virginia;
Leo Walper, Washington, against
Bobby Cruickshank, Virginia; Clid
Spencer. Washington, against Erie
Ball, Virginia; George Diffenbaugh,
Washington, against AL Houghton,
Virginia.
Tickets are on sale at all the club
golf shops at dollar, and also Will
be on sale at the Washington club the
day of the match, which will start at

crown and rack it up alongside Of his
South Jersey title.
And slugging Ed, the big bambino
from a driving range hard by the
Delaware capital, can do 1t. Ed has
been in town three times, and three
times he has dragged down q slice
and usually big slice-of the dough
which goes to the winners OF golf
affairs. Six weeks ago he cracked q
big tee shot from the first tee at
Indian Spring to win driving contest.
Last Monday he won first money in
the pro-amateur tourney at East Po-
tomac Park, and with partner Dave
Douglas, grabbed the lions share Of
the pro-amateur cash.
And today he's quite few dollars
richer and vastly more opulent in
fame and prestige because he set a
new professional competitive record at
Chevy Chase. with a subpar 81, and
in doing it won the senior-pro tourney
and fair sized chunk of coin.
That's the kind of boy the
local pros must lick In the Dis
trict open, which got under way
today.
Oliver, from where we Sit has Witty
Cox and the rest of the boys squarely
on the spot. 1t won't cause much
arching of eyebrows among the golf
wise if he tucks the District open title
under his arm and highballs it back
to Wilmington.
Impressive in Scoring 81.
No man ever has been more i'm
pressive in setting new course record
or in winning a tournament (even
Sammy Snead) than was the Will
mington siege gun in that two-under-
par 81 round yesterday at Chevy
Chase. For example, he missed only
one green in regulation figures. He
bagged three brides and he three
putted one green. Fearful of going
over the 9th green in two shots dts
an honest $50 yards from the back
tee, he pulled No. wood from his
bag and knocked the ball onto the
apron of the green. He had seven rea-
sonable puts for brides on the last
nine, only one Of which he holed.
All In all he put on one Of the
finest exhibitions of shot t-mak-
ing Chevy Chase ever has seen.
The same kind Of golf today and
tomorrow will take the Wash
inxton course apart and hang it
out to dry.
There's this to be said, however. On
some of those holes at Washington a
big hitter like Oliver must literally
knock the ball at the big ranges

way in golf. As the range gets longer
the tolerances get smaller And Ed.
