They saw Pete 60 white at the
words, and then he struck, quick and
hard, at Harvey's face. Tod sucked
in his breath as he saw Harvey slide
to one side of the blow and sink his
left into Pete's stomach. And then,
in no hurry at all, but like slow motion
in the movies, he waited until Pete's
arms came down to protect his stom-
ach and then Harvey let him have it
right on the chin - smacko! Tod ex-
PEELED his breath in an awed whisper,
'"The Old One-Two!'
Pete's head snapped back and he
fell back against the pillar at the top
of the steps. and then slid down the
pillar to the floor of the porch.

Mary's voice that made goose pim-
piles break out on Tod's back. ''Oh,
my dear i. my dear :" She was
kneeling on the porch holding Pete's
head in her arms. Harvey was still
standing in the light of the doorway
looking down at her. Then, all at once,
he turned and went down the steps
and out of sight down the walk.
There we're two things, twenty min
utes later, that Tod did not under
stand. The first was why he hadn't
got even a scolding when Mary and
Pete had found out why the tele-
phone had been out of order, and the
second was why they had brought
him and Spike to the drugstore and
told them they could have all the ice
cream they could eat before Pete
took Spike home. But as he held
Spikes police whistle. now his police
whistle, in his left hand and an over
loaded spoon of ice cream in his right,
there was one thing of which he was
quite certain.

turned on the radio rather loudly,
but that at least gave privacy to the
conversation of both parties. Un-
known to her, Tod and his guest
stopped playing bagatelle several min
utes before nine and simply sat watch
ing the electric clock with bright, fixed
eyes. At nine, exactly, Tod rose and
stole into the hall. He removed the
receiver from the telephone and let
it hang by the cord.
Returning to the living room as
white as a ghost, he crouched beside
Spike at the bagatelle board. They
alternately shivered and giggled every
time within the next quarter hour
that their intently listening ears dis

funny sound to his voice that neither
of them had ever heard before.
Both Mary and Harvey had risen
from the wicker settee. They could
see her facing Pete, both of them
standing in the light from the door

her. in the shadow. Her face looked

that the break between her and Pete

afternoon when she had arrived at the
tennis club with Harvey and had
found Pete already there with Helen.
Well, she'd kept her chin up then
before them all, and now she was not
going to show the white feather be-
fore her own family.
She smiled at Tod and said quietly,

Tod dropped his fork. "Pete's not

But at nine thirty they heard another
sound that brought them to their feet,
and with one accord they stole to a
window. A car had stopped in front of
the house. The great idea had worked.
Pete was coming up the walk; up the

Listening at the open window, they

Scandinavian Example
Of Purest Democracy
BY T. F. HAWKINS,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
COPENHAGEN-Eve democ-
racy offers-in these days when so many
people tremble for the future Of democ-
racy-still can be found in the Scandi-
navian countries, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden
Everything. that is, except political
organization calling itself the Democratic
party.
The reason for this oversight is
simple: Democracy is taken for granted
in these countries, is so inherently part
of the fundamental life Of their peoples,
that practically all institutions in them
are democratic. Therefore they don't
have to be given the label.
That goes even for the monarchy. In
Denmark. the King and his family con-
stitute the most arresting and convincing
proof of the country's all-wool and yard
wide democracy.
One goes to the theater and notes,
casually, that King Christian x and his
Queen are also there. One goes shop
ping and finds the Queen trying on
gloves at nearby counter-unguarded
not at all fawned upon merely admired.
The King, riding through the capitals
streets on his horse, is halted by the red
traffic light at an intersection and, of
course, waits with every one else for it
to turn green. Meanwhile he may swap
the time Of day with a messenger boy
or taxicab driver. That's Denmark.
Swedens Gustaf carries his idea of 100
per cent democracy into hobby usually
considered strictly feminine venture
he embroiders. Through the palace one
may find table runners, doiles, etc. from
his majesty's needle. Last year he pre-
sented an exhibit of his work.
Norway's monarch, King Haakon, likes
nothing better than pot of coffee with
his subjects in one of the little inns in
mountainous Northern Norway, where
the skiing crowd"-which is every one
gathers In the winter time.
The people carry their Interpretation
Of democracy into a determined ban on
classes. Upper class, middle class, lower
class do not exist, any Dane or Swede
or Norwegian will tell you. Rich man
and poor man, as often as not, live side
by side in the same residential district.

The later convention suggestion, how
ever, works to the advantage Of Presi
dent Roosevelt, should he want third
term, or merely to name his successor.
In the event he goes after a third term
he would be at an advantage if the Re-
publicans had previously selected their
candidate and written general plat
form. If he wants only to name his sue
cessor, the late convention plan would
permit him to delay announcing that he
would not be candidate, thus giving
him more time to be sure of the trust
Worthiness of the candidate he would
support.
Farley Gives No Hint of Call.
So far, Democratic National Chairman
Farley has given no indication as to
when he will call the National Commit
tee for the purpose Of determining when
and where the convention will be held.
He has said it will not be this month, al
though such meetings are usually held
in December. A presidential candidate
himself if Mr.. Roosevelt does not seek
reelection, he seemingly is following the

velt the greatest advantage.
Since the Democratic fiasco at Madison
Square Garden in 1924, organization poll
ticians have had nightmares of what
might happen at another prolonged,
knock down and drag-out convention.
This is a risk facing every national
chairman, and the fear of another
hundred-ballot squabble may cause
President Roosevelt and Chairman Far
ley to change their plans when the
Democratic Committee eventually meets
to issue the call for the convention A
three-week convention late next sum-
mer, with the conservatives fighting
Roosevelt or the New Deal candidate he
backs, might prove as disastrous as the
New York meeting that eliminated Alfred
E. Smith and William G. McAdoo and
finally selected the strange combination
of John w. Davis and Charles w. Bryan
With Democratic feelings as they are
today. another Madison Square Garden
Is not out of the question, and with the

leaders in indorsing the broad policies Of

ton with Rabbi Stephen S. Wise's bril-
liant daughter. Judge Polier, in her work
with homeless children.
In years time the attack on the
plight Of the Negro child was so far ad-
vanced that Mr.. Field and his fellow
workers now are turned to the broader
issue Of all Of New Yorks neglected
children. Mr.. Field has become chair
man Of a Citizens Committee which Is
working with the State charities aid to
survey all available facilities to handle
the problem. The long-range aim is to
do away with institutions and give each

his more serious efforts to meet his obi
cations as a citizen. Anything more
than grudging acknowledgement that he
is making some small contribution to
the solution of social problems sounds
"mushy" to his ears, probably because
those ears are more accustomed to CEN
sure than to praise.
This undoubtedly explains to large
degree why most of the world is still un-
aware that Mr.. Field, the rich playboy,
has grown up, although the growing has
been going on for at least 10 years.
The first outward sign of it came in
1929, when Mr.. Field persuaded his two
fellow trustees of his grandfather's S
estate to tear down tenements in Chi
cago's slums and build modern apart
ments with plenty of light and air and
garden space for low-salaried workers.
He took less than l per cent interest on
his investment, but rental costs still
added up to $11 room, too high for the
people he had intended to help. That
proved that private capital could not
possibly finance low-cost housing on a
profit basis, and hastened the Federal
Governments present subsidized housing
program.
Backs Straus' Plan.
Mr.. Field is still interested in housing.
He believes that United States Housing
Commissioner Nathan Straus' idea of
granting income tax exemptions on low
cost housing Observation-Disclosures to the
Is per cent exemptions now permitted
for charities-would bring private capital
into the housing breach. If the Straus
idea is backed by law in Congress, there
undoubtedly will be a generous bagful of
Field money waiting to do its share.
Back in 1929, the Field housing project
was great experiment, but it did not
convince Chicago's welfare workers that
Mr.. Field. the playboy, had really
changed. When New York settlement
worker wrote to Chicago friend for q
letter of introduction to the young mil
ionaire, the reply came back:
Here is the letter. But I may as
well tell you in advance that 1t will do
you no good. He will not do anything
worth while. He is very nice boy, but
he just plays around"
In spite of the discouragement, the
New Yorker used the letter and won Mr..
Fields personal time and effort as we'll as
his financial help. 1t soon developed
that he liked to pitch into social ques-
tions as long as his name was kept out
of it. He wanted to feel that he was
being accepted on his merit. not because
he was somebody"
Practically Incognito.
When he began investigating homes
and other institutions for neglected
children in New York, he was introduced
simply as "Mr Field" He passed un-
recognized. AS result, he heard more
of the real low-down on conditions than
he would had his identity been known.
A mother in one foster home he visited,
waxing enthusiastic under his friendly
approach, exclaimed:
do you know what I'd do if had
million dollars? I'd adopt hundred
children"
The man she was talking to made no
sign that he had many times over .

to do, Ia . much better WY, the vefy
