ably went out the front door. Candida
tried to be calm and explain that
she and Barnaby had loved each
other all along. They hadn't had
the courage to tell Beulah.
"You-you viXen" Beulah shrieked.
Well it looked like the end of the
female partnership. A week passed.
The girls went about their duties
without speaking. Barnaby, being
wise, stayed away Both girls knew
that sooner or later they would have
to come to some agreement about the
farm. They hated the idea of giving
it up. But it was silly to think about
keeping on under the present circum-
stances
So in the end Beulah made ar
rangements with Lawyer Stearns, and
one evening the girls set out in the
delivery truck for his law office to
write the final chapter in the adven-
ture that had given life a meaning
for both of them.
THEY were silent on the drive to
town. Even when the lights went
out for no explainable reason, neither
of them said anything Silently Beu-
lah got out, lifted the hood, discovered
a fuse was blown, and having no
spare, tried to produce a makeshift
from hairpin. She tried for quite
a while without results. 1t was inky
dark. Candida sat in the truck and
was silent. She knew nothing about
mechanics. 1t began to look as though
there was nothing to do but continue
on foot, when suddenly the connec-
ton was made and the lights flared
up.
oh" exclaimed Candida, clutching
the truck door. She was staring up
the road. In the glare of the head
lights a man and woman, evidently
having come up in the darkness with
out knowing of the trucks presence,
were standing in close embrace.
Startled, they remained like a tab
leau for moment before leaping
apart.
The man was Barnaby XerXes. The
woman was girl about town whom
both Beulah and Candida knew by
reputation. Nobody said anything for
moment; then Barnaby turned and
began walking swiftly away. The girl
followed him.
Beulah got into the truck. She
started the motor. She looked at
Candida. Candida looked at her And
suddenly they began to laugh. They
laughed from Joy and relief.
"Oh, shucks!" said Beulah pres
emily. lets go back and milk the

"Oh, let's!" cried Candida happily.

But we don't know a thing about
farming. We've both lived in the
city all our lives. We couldn't make
1t pay"
I'VE could" Beulah said, "if we
wanted to badly enough. There are
books on how to do everything these
days. OF course, if you're doubt
full"
I'm not. I'd love to try it! Oh,
think it would be grand!"
So for year the two girls worked
and saved They spent evenings on
end at the library, reading books on
small-scale farming, and they hunted
through the papers every day for
bargains.
When spring came they took week
end and drove up into the country
and called on the farmers who had
offered their homes for sale. The
second place they visited proved
exactly what they wanted. 1t was
small, white, tree-shaded house with
big barn, hennery containing a
flock of 100 birds; a COW, horse,
pig and several cultivated acres. The
price was high, but Beulah had
sharp business head She talked to
old Mr.. Naaman, and old Mr. Naaman
finally agreed to take their savings
as a down payment.
1t was swell idea 1t proved to
be the fulfllment of the girls dreams.
Best of all, what with the sale of eggs
and fowl and milk, and raising their
own vegetables, they made a profit.

PROFESSOR IS LEADER, GANG
 OF GUER|LLAS
Dr. Yang Sui-Ling Torment ing Japanese with
 0,000Chinese

SHANGHAI, China, June 2.-Dr. Yang Siu-ling, one of China's best known professors of economies, has forsaken the classroom for a dead ly game of hide-and-seek with Japan.
 The educator is leading 10000 Chinese guerrillas against Japanese troops from the Taiheng noun tains along the Hopei-Shansi bor- der in Northwest China, it is re- ported here.
 Dr. Yang was residing in Peiping when that city was occupied by the Japanese last summer. Leaving a life of semi-retirement, he disap- peared from the city and was not heard from until recently when his name was mentioned in Chinese dispatches as the leader of a band of guerrillas engaged in raiding Japanese garrisons along the Peip- ing -Hankow Railway.
 The professors army" says the Chinese reports, consists of $500 regular guerrillas, 1,500 students and 5 ,000 peasant volunteers. Their war it is stated, comprises of rifles and machine-guns and other implements of warfare seiz- ed from the Japanese.

HELL DIVERS"
 SHOWING LAST
 TIMES TONIGHT
Wallace Beery and Clark Gable Co-starred at Cap
 itol Tn Drama of Air

One hundred and eighty naval airplanes, in perfect formation, div ing and looping in sensational evolutions,. is one of many thrills in the latest film drama of the air, Hell Divers" co-starring Wallace Beery and Clark Gable, for the last time tonight at the Capitol Theatre
 This thrill was filmed at special air review, at North Island, for Admiral H. E. Yarnell, commander of the naval West Coast carrier division.
 Acting of Beery, Gable, Conrad Nagel, Dorothy Jordan, Marjorie Rambeau, Marie Provost and others in a cast of unusual importance, is interspersed with some of the great ast thrills ever staged by the navy The battle maneuvers in Panama. with swarms of planes in the air, and the sensational new Curtiss- Wright Hell Divers" hurling them selves through space, two miles in less than thirty seconds, the land ing of giant Zeppelin on the air plane carrier Saratoga, and sensa- tional landings and takeoffs from the gigantic vessel. are among the things caught by camera and micro phone.
 Through these runs a vivid drama of life with the fighting fleet. Beery is seen as a griz2led veteran of the aviation service, and the central romance, which is a love story with something actually heroic in it, takes place between him and Miss Ram beau who plays a Panama resort keeper
 Underlying the drama is the theme of the supplanting of the old ideas in the navy by the new ideals of modern progress. Gable eXemplifies the younger school of naval service.

HOLLYWOOD, June 2. June Evans is a dressmaker's clerk, Tom my Bradford travel bureau em- ploye. Each in the course of duty is present at the fashionable we'd ding of Nadine Piermont, and when they meet, each thinks the other is high society,"
 Hold That Kiss" is the detailing of what springs from this familiar plot beginning, and it is a light comedy which audiences should find delightful, dressed smartly and alternating in humor from chuckles to hoWls.
 The picture, directed by Edwin L. Marin, is rich in comic situa- ton and incident, and it's trusty plot skeleton is nicely enough pad ded with freshness that it seldom rattles. Part of it's ingratiating quality may be due to it's back-to- normal presentation of family life Junes family is like lot of others, not merely weird assortment of happy nitwits assembled for riding on the insane comey' cycle.
 Another asset is that Hold That Kiss is enacted by likeable people the fetching Maureen O'Sullivan, the sturdy Dennis O'Keefe (until Bad Man of Birthstone" an extra) in the romantic roles, and a sup porting cast which shines individ- ually without throwing the produc- tion off balance. Mickey Rooney as the clarinet-playing kid brother does the impossible with his face, gets large share of the howls. George Barbier, Jessie Ralph, Ed ward s. Brophy, Fay Holden, Frank Albertson, Phillip Terry, Barnett Parker are others.
 A Popular "MelIer''
 Crime School" is equally tailored to popular taste along melodramatic lines = a juvenile version of the ever popular prison picture. Where Dead End" left off Crime School takes up the careers of a similar group of young toughies, here play ed by odd coincidence by the same stage and movie gang who appeared in Dead End"
 The boys land in a reformatory, where Humphrey Bogart, the gang ster of Dead End" takes on shin ing armor as a militant champion of right ways to effect reform, are only two sequences of good
