hadn't, what would Marjorie and
Bob think when they found him up
stairs? But she could explain that
she could say that she ran out
on an errand.
She wished for a moment that
Bob wasn't a newspaper man. If
he got wind of the fact that Ron
aid had met someone here tonight,
he might scent news. A good re-
porter had to be loyal to his sheet.
She couldn't ask him to close his
eyes. She couldn't explain that
whatever happened was all right
because, after all, she had only her
own faith to support her words.
She gave quick glance at the
card above her door bell. Then
she let a relieved breath escape.
The blank card was gone. Ron
AIDS visitor had left and her name
had been inserted again.
But Ronald-had he waited?
She slipped her key into the
lock. The lamps still shone. The
fire cracked. The room was
empty.
But pinned to a lamp shade was
a note written in large letters that
flashed across the room to the
three who had entered.
Thanks for the use Of the
room, Judy. Sorry I can't wait
to see you. RONALD"
There was a studied quietness in
the room. Each one of the three
people knew that the other two
were searching for some word that
would restore the easy comrade-
ship of three months ago.
simultaneously they realized
there was no such word. The i'm
port of that message, scrawled
across sheet of drawing paper
with stick Of black charcoal, had
to be faced.
1t was then that Bob drew an
evening paper from his pocket and
tossed it to Judy.
"Have you read this, Judy?"
She took it to the low hassock
near the fire and read, the green
beret still on her brown curls.
When she finished she looked up, a
little line of worry between her
eyes.
"The New York Bar association
is Investigating? Is that true,
Bob?"
He nodded. "Only
Judy. Birrell is mighty wei l...ou,
Nobody wants him: to be guilty"
"Then why do people, iact as
though he ISL" persisted Judy

where it lay like a green ball on a
window seat.
Bob sat down, too, and cracked
another peanut. Nobody wants
him to be found guilty as I just
told you. Nobody is acting that
way. Don't you see, my dear Miss
Rogers, that it is just as important
to clear him as to convict him ?"

It was evident as the old brass
andirons on the hearth, the brass
platter above the fire on the
smooth wooden shelf, that Ronald
had used the room for confer
ence. No use denying that. So
Judy answered:
There isn't anything to tell ex-
cept what you know. Ronald
asked to use my room for little
while" 4
"You didn't see who came, who
went out ?" Bob was leaning for
ward, his. brows drawn, his eyes
narrowed in thought.

"I never thought!''
The fire began to go down and
Bob tossed another log on the low
blaze. Marjorie declared she was
hungry, took the bundles Judy had
brought from the delicatesser, and
began to make sandwiches. Bob
helped her.
Judy did not move from that
hassock. Why hadn't she kept her
eyes opened? She could have

she had thought of nothing but

CHAPTER SO
HELEN WELsHlMER

II HAVE ASKED a certain
party to meet me here" Ronald
explained to Judy when he entered
the long, low living room, gay and
comfortable with its cushions,
lowered chairs, and books and
lamps. Mind if I slip plain

piicit trust she had in anything
this tall man with the unafraid
gray eyes might do.
File was under fire. He was be-
Ing watched. He had asked for
tue secrecy of her apartment.
Why, she did not know and did not
tairk to ask. It was enough that
b. had come to her, trusted her.
He paused at the top of the
stairs, turning back as he spoke
slowly.
you're a real person, Judy
Rogers. You may WONDERFUL
Iou don't ask" For a moment his
face was high-lighted with the
auickness of the brilliant smile
that had flashed when she first
knew him.
Then she heard him running
down the steps, noted the space of
seconds that it took for the trans
fer of the card, heard him coming
back.
She went away then to wander
Town to Eighth street, cross over
20 Sixth avenue, and buy Italian
bread and some pressed meats and
black olives. She hummed softly,
throwing her brown head back to
let the spring-haunted breeze stir
her curly locks. She stopped at q
flower vendors cart and bought
red roses.
The elevated rumbled overhead
as she walked up the avenue where
the weary old trains still follow a
noisy steel path through the air.
Boys and girls passed, carrying
briefcases or portfolios, talking in
rapt tones about stories that were
"slanted" for this magazine and
that, the value of Van Coughs
paintings, the portraits that were
showing at this gallery or that.
Judy smiled in the violet dark
ness.
No one mentioned parties unless
they were parties where young
people, imbued with the spirit of
endeavor and creation, would talk
and talk Of those who had
achieved, where they themselves
only strived. But so long as one
held cord to the vision, and kept
eyes on the distant CLEAN, life was
good.
Judy wanted to fall in step with
some Of the young people and tell
them she belonged. She was their
age, but she felt so many years
older. She had lived so many
more lives in her brief span Of
years, she explained to her ques-
tioning self, and then wondered if,
after all, she had. What did she
know of these other boys and
girls?
She saw herself reflected in a
plate glass window as she passed.
She might have been any school
girl with her plaid skirt revealing
slim, shapely legs and ankles; her
brown hair blowing under the
suede beret whose green matched
her suede jacket. It was an en-
semble she had designed for Cor
delli which the great courturier
had publicized.
SO she came to her own door
way. The lantern lights at either
side of the entrance were blinking
sleepy eyes. Two people sat on
the wide white steps, eating pea
nuts from big brown bag.

Respiratory
Ills More
Frequent
That's Because Lungs
Are Always Exposed
to Germ-Filled Air
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
WHEN YOU think of the anat-
oiny and the placing of the respira-
tory system, all Of it's diseases and
disorders seem perfectly clear.
1t is on one of the outfronts of
the body. 1t stands exposed to the
world about us, especially the
germs. Eighteen times a minute
the chest hauls into the lungs, past
the nose and it's sinuses, the tonsils
and the bronchial tubes, a load of
air which is filled with whatever
happens to be there; it may be a
slug of pneumonia germs, a few
choice specimens of tuberculosis,
perhaps just some ordinary cold
virus, some dust or coal SCOT, pol
lens or many other things.
Hence, the diseases Of the respira-
tory system are more frequent than
those of any other Of the bodily sys-
tems-and most Of them are infec-
tious.
Wonder We Live
The wonder is that we live at all.
If you could see the lungs of a city
dweller, you would find that they
are almost black as compared to the
lungs of one who has lived in the
great open spaces, This is due to the
deposit of coal particles year by
year and day by day, which have
become imbedded in the lung tissue.
They are only bits of pigment, like
freckles, and do no harm.
But the condition called anthra-
COSTS does illustrate the fact that
the lungs are constantly exposed to
the particles that are in the atmos-
phere. The question arises, since
germs are quite as numerous as coal
particles, why we do not have more
infections Of the lungs.
Perhaps part of the answer is
that germs, except in closed rooms
and crowded quarters, are not quite
so frequent as they are supposed to
be. They die out in the sunlight and
perish in the countryside.

cycles and tend to disappear for
periods more or less long.
Most of Us Immune
But the main reason is on account
of our immunity. The best. illustra-
ton of the processes of immunity
was that which William Osler used
in the first edition of his Textbook
on Medicine. He said tuberculosis
was like the parable of the sower.
The sower went forth to SOW, and
some Of his seed fell upon stony
ground, some was picked up by the
birds of the air, some fell among
tares, which sprang up and choked
it, and some fell upon good ground
and brought forth. a .thousandfo' l.
Most Of us, so far as the tubercle
bacillus, as well as the kingdom of
heaven, is concerned, are stony
ground: it finds no Judgement. For
some the blood-cells play the part
of the birds Of the air and carry the
baciIli away. For some the defen-
sive reactions Of the body, like the
tares, choke the germs growth. But
in few the bacilli find favorable
conditions and bring forth fruit
thousandfold.

BURSTS WERE TO BE SURRENDERED
Attorney for Cleveland Couple in Merritt Case
 Was to Give Them Up

Cleveland, May 16.-(UP)-Attor- ney Dan w. Duffy told the United Press today that at noon Friday he would surrender Norton Hurst, 45, and his wife Lillian, 41, to Connecti- cut authorities who charge them with obtaining money under false pretenses in a $6,100,000 highway project. Duffy said he would leave Thursday night for Bridgeport, Conn, with his clients and would release them the next day to Dis trict Attorney L. w. Willis. The Hursts had been due to appear in the court of Police Judge Bradley Hull for extradition proceedings. Duffy today asked that the hearing be continued until June 3, merely as a formality. Judge Hull granted the continuance.
 Duffy had planned earlier to fight the couples extradition and hear ing before Gov. Martin l.. Davey at Columbus had been set for May 24. The warrant received here, on which the Hursts were arrested, charged that they defrauded the state of Connecticut by purchasing land along the proposed state Merritt highway, a $6,100,000 project.
 They had appeared originally May before Judge Hull. He set bonds of $25, 5,OO0 each, on which the HurSts have been free. They live in sub urban Lakewood.

MORE MEET WITH
 DEATH PENALTY

Moscow, May 16.-(UP).- News papers from the provinces today re- vealed a new series of trials and 18 death sentences for sabotage and counter revolutionary activities. The newspapers were week old and it was assumed that the sentences al- ready had been carried out.
 Although from 1,500 to 2,000 per- sons had been executed for similar crimes in the past year, it had ap- peared recently that there was a lull in the purging activities.
 The newspapers listed six death sentences for sabotage in the con- struction of hydro-electrical chem ical plant in Uzbekistan; three in Armenia for agriculture wrecking, including the distribution of poor seed and infection of cattle on in- structions of a Nationalist -Trotsky- ist group: nine for wrecking and organizing accidents in the Siberian coal mines.

 Philadelphia, May 16.-CUP)-- John L. Lewis and his Committee for Industrial Organization faced their greatest political test today as Pennsylvania primary campaign ended amid rousing chorus of Stop, thief" Democratic voters de- eide in tomorrow's polling whether Thomas Kennedy, secretary-treas- urer of Lewis United Mine Workers of America and one of the CIO brain trust, is to be the party's candidate for governor. Some 2,140,000 Repub- licans and 2,016 Democrats are regis tered and eligible to vote. Democrats, who won control of the state four years ago for the first time since the Civil war, crossed the 2,000,000 mark in registration fo rthe first time in this campaign.
 But the party is ripped by dispute. Its leadership is divided. The party machine may have been wrecked all ready beyond repair by collision ot Lewis plans with the program ot the state Democratic organization. Charges of corruption, political and other irregularities largely are among and against Democrats as Lewis and Senator Joseph F. Guffey, D., Pa, on one side and Governor George H. Earle and Democratic State Chairman David L. Lawrence on the other, struggle for conerol of the machine which rolled up a plurality of 600.000 votes for Presi-

 Norton, O. and Lillian Hurst, who were picked up at Cleveland, were reported ot have said they would not fight extradition. They were ex- pected to return here late this week.
 Tn state, meanwhile, filed brifs in superior court today on the motion to quash, brought by G. Leroy Kemp, of the accused, who chal- lenged the legality of the proceed ings which resulted in four indict- ments being returned against him. Kemp declared the jury was ille- gally drawn, the deliberations were not secretly held as prescribed by law, his constitutional rights had been violated, that the conspiracy, as described, did not constitute a crime and that the offenses charged against him had been outlawed by the statute of limitations. The case was expected to go to the state su- preme court.

ARMY FLYERS IN

 Destruction of theoretical bases established by the invading forces at Norfolk, Va, and the surround ing area appeared to be only a mat ter of hours when the war" was called off temporarily for a Sunday rest.
 The enemy air forces, subjected to three days of bombing by long range Douglas B-17 bombers and Boeing flying fortresses," were re- duced to less than half the original total, according to theoretical sta- tistics prepared by headquarters staff.
 Only 579 Enemy Planes
 Only 579 planes remained in the fictitious "black fleet" forces, out of more than 1000, including re- placements, that were conjured by headquarters staff for the original attack. Losses to defending forces were figure at less than 200.
 This would have wiped out the actual defensive forces, totalling only 187 planes, but the army staff men, in addition to assuming" the enemy total, also assumed a full CLIO air force complement of more than 600 fighting planes. with ade- quate replacements.
