BY LYNN NISBET

Raleigh, March 80. = Although
pressing toward Saturday night adj
jOurnment, the House of Represen-
tatives several times yesterday re-
versed itself, reconsidered votes, and
recalled bills from the unfavorable
calendar. The Senator Long bills de-
signed to promote control of syphilis,
one requiring prenatal examination
and one pre-marital examination,
were sent to the committee of pub
lie welfare SO that the department
of health could be heard on them.
One of the bills was on the unfavor-
able calendar and the other was in
State of extreme inactivity" in the
committee.
Motion to re-refer the bills was
made by Mr.. Bryant. 1t was opposed
by Mr.. Mallard, chairman of the
calendar committee, who admits that
he doesn't like the bills, but is more
interesting in making action once
taken by the House stick.
1t was probably the appeal of
Major Cherry which got enough
votes to recall the measures. Lets
give the department of health a
hearing he urged. "We've heard
everybody else who asked for-boot-
leggers, slot machine operators, and
anybody else who even thought he
had something to say. Let's hear one
of our own great departments, and
then if the House still wants to kill
the bill, that is its privilege"
Some startling figures were inject
ed into the debate. There are more
than $4,000 cases Of syphilis being
treated in North Carolina, said Mr..
Bryant. He also pointed out that one
third of the insane wards of the State
are victims of this disease, and he
thinks the whole State ought to CO.
operate as fully as possible with the
current health department campaign

of his present job. AS conspicuous

D. Smith, chairman of the upper con-

Now, there's practically unanimous
agreement upon the proposition that
the huge size of our national eX-
penditures is what keeps our taxes
so high; to reduce taxes it's clear
that we must cut expenses some

"Well," say the urbanites, cts

"By no MEANS" answer the rural

We're getting out of here as soon

your face. can't stand to even
think Of that again. We've got to
play safe, I tell you. Take no
chances. Promise me, Jim! I'll not
be satisfied until you promise me
you'll have nothing to do with this
thing!"
He stroked her hair for a long
moment, then sighed. II guess
you're right, GIRL" he said, at last,
the life gone from his voice. 1.-THE
way Clark put it, it seemed so
easy. He says I'll get tripped SOON
err or later, anyhow, and have to
stand trial. I might as well do it in
a big way"
you'll never be caught, Jim. I
won't let you get caught" She put:
her arms about him protectively,
almost fiercely. We'll be safe-to-
gether," she insisted, in a smoth-
cred voice.
Whatever you want, girl"
The news of Clark Martins in
vention had leaked out. Iona found
Dinah excited over the evening pa
per when she went home to dinner.
They're going to test it, right
here in Brighton" she told Iona,
her blue eyes shining. "Boy, would
like to see that! Imagine some-
body jumping actually Jumping
off the bridge. I don't suppose
therell be any place for me in the
crowd, though" Her eyes turned
wistful and she looked down at the
chair to which she was bound.
Iona felt a swift stab Of sympa-
thy for the girl as she reached for
the paper. Sympathy she forgot as
the printed words seemed to leap
out and take possession Of her
mind.
Engineer to Test Safety Net at
Brighton Bridge" the headline pro-
claimed.
cit was learned today that Clark
Martin, the engineer in charge Of
the construction Of the Brighton
bridge, is planning to test a safety
net Of his own invention some time
within the next week. Mr.. Martins
net is Of similar design to the one
used in the Inflated experiment
which plunged a man to his death
and resulted in the indictment for
murder Of the inventor several
years ago at Wetmore, Colo.
Martin, whose net has been de-
veloped here in Brighton, is looking
for a volunteer to jump from the
top Of the bridge while he manipu-
lates his invention for safe land
ing"
Anger took hold Of Iona as she
read. Martin was deliberately try
ing to entice Jim. She saw that,
and she felt suddenly primitive.
She could have scratched Martins
face If he had been with her now.
This article would have Jim worked
up all over again. Within the next
week he was planning on staging
his test just when Jim would be
getting out of the hospital. Egging
him on. And he said he was q
friend!

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

LEAVING JIM and Clark Mar
tin together at the hospital, Iona
hurried down to the railroad sta
ton. The clerk was alone in his
box Of an office and for long time
she stood outside the window star
ing in, bracingT herself, trying to
decide if she should plunge now or
wait until train time when re-
quest for tickets would not be so
noticeable.
AS she hesitated, a woman car
rying a suitcase came hurrying up
the street. Another appeared from
the opposite direction, and a taxi
turned into the graveled drive, de-
posting a luggage-laden salesman.
They all made for the ticket win
dow, and Iona congratulated her.
self. There was a train due now.
She marched in with them and
took her turn at the window.
The clerk stared at her when she
asked for two. tickets to Camdon.
"You can't get to Camdon on this
train, lady," he told her. "This is
a southbound. The Camdon trains
gone"
Gomez Why, I thought-do you
mean I've missed it?" She hoped
her dismay was convincing.
Sorry. You got the wrong dope
somewhere. Train for Camdon
leaves at $40. No more north
bounds tonight"
II don't know how I could have
made such a mistake" She hest
tated. "Well, give me the tickets
anyhow. I'll have them tomorrow,
then. Yes, two"
The clerk slammed down her
change with an air Of mild con-
tempt and she could have laughed
aloud. If anybody asked him ques-
tons in the future, he'd swear she
left Brighton on the $40 tomor-
row. That is, if he recalled her at
all. She gathered up her tickets and
went back out onto the street, feel
ing pleased with herself.
Dinah and Mrs. Morriss were
waiting for her when she arrived
home, Mrs. Morris with her usual
motherly solicitude which seemed
particularly = welcome tonight.
Dinah, however, seemed to be trou-
bled about something.
"There was a letter came today"
she whispered to Iona when the
two were alone in the gracious liv-
ing room. From that detective
who was asking about JIM"
"a letter? From detectivew
Lona's heart contracted. "What did
he say?"
"He asks me to find out If you

Colorado. It's about that bridge &C
cident that was published in the
paper. He says it's important and
I'll be doing you favor. He's COM

Did you ever live in Colorado,
Lona?" The blue eyes were I'M
happy.
Iona laughed. "Of course not. OF
all the persistence. Jim's never
been west Of st. Louis, I'm sure of
that. He's just on the wrong track,
that's all. I wish he would come
here. I'd give him a piece of my

Stocks Slow
Up To Noon

New York, March 3O.-(AP)-The
few traders who didn't twiddle their
thumbs displayed timid buying in
clinations in today's stock market,
and favored issues edged up frac-
tons to around a point. Slow deal
ings marked the proceedings thro-
ughout, with the turnover even
smaller than yesterday. Near midday
minor losses were plentiful, and nu-
merous issues were virtually unchang
ed. Bonds were uneven.
