JAGGED LOVE

shouldn't tell you this!" she racily
concluded shut-mouthly.
"Oh no, please go on. Pleased"
She heaved another sigh and con-
tinued: "Well, I've been married.
l have one child" Again her brain
twirled. A panorama of her past
life flared before her,-all of which
she dared not tell. Some of her life
. only n man must know -.
and he was her husband. She grip
ped her nerves and swallowed then
added: "When Junior was a year
old, | had a terrible tragedy to
change my whole life.
Again she paused to gather a re-
covering breath. Her eyes fell to
the floor. Her face muscles tight
ened as she hung her head. Her
body stiffened as the recurrence of
the tragedy raced through her
brain.
81 know you suffered untold MI
sery and grief" he added.
81 did I'VE my baby -.
but not my husband"
"Why, didn't you love your hus-
band?" he startled.
She sat m~otionless and in sill
ence. Carl realized it best not to
question her further. ,

lives, so we just married.
Everything went along fine un-
til after the first year, and / was

Again she paused to remove an
other lump in her throat. "One
night two years ago, John came in
drunk, and when he saw Junior
was crying he told me he was goi

Well folks | see quite a number
of our people been winning the old
Daily Double. They tell me if

enough, you will succeed. That
Is if your money don't run out.
Fans here is a story which was
told to me about a couple of reg
ular feEows-Mr. Jess Hardin and
Mr.. Spencer Gray decided to take
a breeze out TO the ace track
You know Mr.. Hardin Is the well
known eo-owner of that famous
night spot known from coast to
coast as the HIM buffet. Mr..
Grey you know is the Beau Brum-
mel of this mans town. Well
liked by all for his craftsmanship
among his friends. Well Mr..
Grey and Mr.. Hardin jumped in
Grey's beautiful Packard and off
30 the races they went. Oh! said
jess after they got there, the rac-
es have started. Grey said let's
you and l take a peek over bhe
fence. OK by me says jess.
They was on the Northside of the
track, so up the hill Grey went,
followed by Jess, slowly. No soon
or than they rested their chin on
the rail up pops one of Mr.. Sher-
iff Dorrance's deputies and says
TO move on, you can't cop no neck
here. In the meantime Mr.. Grey

CHAPTER II

CHAPTER IL
Carr smith is trying to make the
acquaintance of a comedy belle
whom he by chance began to talk
with as the train on which he was
riding pulled out of the railroad
station at Roanoke Va. He has in
! formed her that he is a writer,
This gained her interest.
NOW GO ON WITH THE
STORY
ooh, do you writer" she asked.
well / have a small booklet of
poetry published. 1t isn't very
much; but some day, I might do
something worth while,-if l ever
get the inspiration from the right
source"
"What would you consider the
so~urce?" she asked.
ooh, that's a long story, and
I'm afraid you'd get tired of listen
ing to it from way up where I'm
standing"
His lips parted slowly, followed
by an appealing smile. She blushed
lightly with understanding. Then
you may sit down.
Perhaps / shall if you are sure
an old bard won't be too boresome."
She smiled. He sat down and
crossed his hands and leaned back
to begin his narrative. She COM
forted herself to listen.
"Well, you see, l was once in
love and got disappointed"
Her expression suddenly showed
signs of profound interest.
81 had the inspiration THEN to
write" he continued, "and to make
a real success out of it; but since
loosing her, well -. | haven't had
much incentive to attempt anything
worth while"
He paused.
She sat in a study, then re-
marked:
"Your affair must have been in
teresting. Did she get married? He
shook his head slowly and starred
blankly at the seat before them.
"Then what happened to cause
you to lose her?"
"Well -. She didn't get married,
at first she didn't; but you see
her mother thought I wasn't good
enough for her. She wanted her to
marry a medical student in our
town, and every time they were
together I became the subject of
d heated discussion. That's when
love and hate in the frames of
mother and daughter clashed.
Those battles lasted between them
until / finished college. Then / left
home and went to work on the lake
steamers in Chicago, hoping to
make enough money to go in bust
ness the next year and marry her.
Well when l did come home,
the job l had in mind was fined,
and we couldn't get married. Her
mother became so tyrranical that
Marie ran off and married an or
chestra leader. Since then, l haven't
cared much for any other woman,
and Pm trying to forget her." Villa
shifted in her seat and tried to hide
her compassion.

issues simply haven't been offer
ed. Business is on a slow down
grade, instead of an upgrade. SEN
timent among a large number Of
business leaders tends toward the
pessimistic side.
What, then, is the cause of this
apparent anomaly? For many
months government and other ex-
perts blamed it on European trou-
bles. And those troubles have I'M
doubtedly been an important de-
~pressive factor. But by now, the
experts say, wars and war scares
have been discounted to the limit.
It is no longer possible to blame
the shadow of Mars for our do
nestle depression. As a result, the
experts continue, there is but one
thing to which it a be attri-
buted-and that is the feeling of
industry at large that inimical
governmental policies continue to
so darken the future that all bust
ness can do is stand still, spend
only the money that is needed to
keep in operation, and wait and
see what happens.
Some time ago this column OBJ
served that, that psychological
factor" is, at the moment as inn
portant and perhaps more impor-
tant than the more concrete fac
tors on which business forecasts
are usually based. All the econo-
mic indicators may be good, but
they won't produce much result if
the people who are in charge of
our commercial affairs are wor-
ried and dispirited and fearful of
what government may do. Today,
some of the influential Admins
tration officials and advisors are
apparently tending toward that
point of view.
There have been a number of
actions lately which, while they
haven't been headlined to any ex-
tent, may indicate the way the
wind blows. Recently Secretary of
War Johnson issued a statement
praising the electric utilities in
the most %flattering terms for
their cooperation with the War
Department in its national pre-
paredness program. And the utili-
ty industry has been the principal
target of inimieal Administration
action for six years.
More recently still, Secretary of
Commerce Hopkins, in his capa-
city of Chairman of the American
Trade Association Executives, had
the job of choosing the industry
which made the greatest progress
IN public spirited trade associa-
tion work last year. The industry
chosen was Portland Cement. That
is the industry which has been
threatened with prosecution by
tho Justice Department for alleged
price fixing, a threat which, ac-
cording to men high in other in
dustries, was a significant factor
in producing industrial paralysis.

ARMY:
Iron Horses to Front!

While a group of foreign observ-
ers, including military attaches from
Germany, France, Great Britain
and half dozen other European
countries looked on, the crack mech
anized Seventh Cavalry from Fort
Knox, KY, swung into action for the
first time in two battles" in which
$4,000 regular soldiers and National
Guardsmen were engaged this week
in the war games near Plattsburg,
N. Y. A day of rain that soaked
fields and highways gave Uncle
Sans ''iron horses" a real test of
their usefulness in modern war.
Before the second phase of the
games began, Lieut.. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum, commander-in-chief, assem-
bled 5000 officers on the parade
ground to present a few facts. Pub
licly scorned was the suggestion that
his troops fight at paper strength"
]. e., with imaginary armament the
army hopes some day to secure.
The general demanded a campaign
of reality, ito bring home the actu-
alities of our state of preparedness"
Only in tanks, he said, is the army
up to strength. Other deficiencies:
manpower, n per cent; machine
guns, 81 per cent; trucks, 80; auto
matte rifles, 81.
Said he: 81 do not intend to be-
little the advantages of speed. But
mobility off the battlefield cannot
compensate for inefficiency in the
conduct of a fight. What we need
to learn is how to fight"

AGRICULTURE:
Milk ParIey

AS the result of renewed violence
In upstate New York, marked by
more milk-dumping and some skull
cracking when police and state
troopers clashed with milk plant
pickets, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia
OF New York city this week called
farmer and distributor representa-
tives into conference to seek a
peaceful solution of their dispute.
The mayors action came after the
dairymen's strike had cut the usual
supply available to the metropolitan
area from 100000 quarts to $780,
600 quarts, although both sides had
given assurance that hospitals, pub
lie institutions and other needy GUS
toners would receive an adequate
supply.
The Farmers Dairy union, which
claims membership of Is, 900 dairy
farmers and which is supported by
the c. 1. o., called the strike in an
effort to force distributors to pay
them $2.35 hundredweight (or AZ
quarts) for all classes of milk. The
present price for such blended"
milk, which is used for manufacture
ing as well as drinking purposes
is $l.60 a hundredweight.
Hearings in Syracuse and New
York city to discuss the price struc-
ture have been ordered for this
week by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.

is said to have identified a photo
graph of a prominent Bund member
as the one who handed the label to
him with instructions to give it to
"the girl in the black dress"
Most important witness thus far
has been Bundmaster Fritz Kuhn.
After hearing his life story, Repre-
sentative Starnes of the committee
asked Kuhn if his organization
wasn't intended to establish Nazi
government in the United States.
"That's an absolute liza fiat
lie!" shouted Kuhn.
Flaming with anger, Joe Starnes
jumped to his feet. Showing report
ers and photographers aside he
strobe toward the witness crying:
Don't call me a liar!"
When capitol policemen had put
an end to these fighting words, the
committee got down to more serious
work. With calm elaboration, Illi-
nois Rep. Noah Mason drew enough
information from the witness to
make German-American bundism
distasteful. When faced with the &C
cusation that his bund is "a money
making racket based on the credu-
lily of the American people," Kuhn
countered by listing these strange
detectives: (1) To unite the Ger
man-American element, (2) to fight
communism, (3) to give the German
element political background"

Mucous Colitis

When a research physician who

for many years tells us that no
case of colitis Inflammation of the
large intestine) is ever cured, it
may sound discouraging to the thou
sands of individuals who suffer with
this ailment, the outstanding symp-
toms of which are soreness across
abdomen, pains, collie, jelly-like
substance on wastes from bowel.
DR.. Walter Alvarez, Mayo clinic,
professor of medicine, University of
Minnesota graduate school of medi-
cine, at meeting of the American
College of Physicians said:

possible. Listen to the patient. The

Sin the meantime, avoiding rough

tanning a teaspoonful of salt enemas

nation is not considered a joke any
more because only the patient can
accurately describe his pain or 9TH
er symptoms. Thus patient, much
worried about his heart as it seemed
to be beating too rapidly, visited a
heart specialist. He expected the
physician Immediately to use the
stethoscope, the sphygmomanome-
ter (blood pressure machine), the
electrocardiograph, which records
strength and regularity of the heart,
and the Horoscope, which enables
the physician to actually see the
heart.
Exercise Test Made.
Instead, the physician had him
walk across the room and asked
him how far he could walk at this
rate without getting out of breath.
When he told the distance that he
could walk without getting out of
breath easily, the heart specialist
told him he had no heart disease,
and to worry no further about it.
An examination with stethoscope,
blood pressure machine, electro
cardiograph and Horoscope was
made, however, and the heart was
pronounced normal.
Thus the simple question, 'tHow
far can you walk without getting
out of BREATH" gave the heart spe-
cialist the information that it was
not the heart that was causing the

No official announcement of the re-
suit of this conference was forthcom-
ing but it is considered likely that the
axis powers hope to make Csaky a
go-between for negotiations between
Berlin and Warsaw. Since Hun
gary has been on friendly terms
with Poland and with the axis pow
ers, especially Italy, the Hungarian
foreign minister would fit well into
this role.

POLITICS.:
Stop Spendingr

Calling upon the Roosevelt admin.
istration to take the lead in a CO.
operative effort by business, labor,
farmers and others to stimulate pro-
duction, the American Federation of
Labor in its monthly survey of bust
ness declared that an expansion of
industry is necessary to forestall "a
further demand for government
spending, with it's danger of infa-
ton and consequent losses to wage
earners."
1t said experts commended that pro-
duction increases could be planned
for the country as whole, but that
businessmen were not likely to lead
in the expansion because business
risks were greater and profits small
er than in predepression years.
Defeat of the administration
lending bill was cited as evidence
that congress had rejected the
"pump-priming" theory of stimulat-
ing recovery and by so doing had
placed the responsibility on bust
ness.
This suggestion of a farmer-labor-
business-government get-together,
following close upon the heels of a
similar suggestion by Philip Muir
ray, c. !. o. vice president, is re-
garded as evidence that the A. F.
of L. is not only trying to bring
labor peace but will probably side
with business in the 1910 campaign
against Roosevelt-backed candi-
date, unless he discards his philoso-
ply of spending as a method of re
covery. ..
