 Hell be proud to know you remembered = and cared" she said softly.
 They went out, slowly and a nurse came toward her smiling.
 Good news for you this morn ing, Mrs. Whitaker. You're to see that big husband of yours for a little while. But you'll remem- Der not to excite or worry him won't you? And not to stay too long?"
 Inside the quiet, dim room that was much too cold for comfort, Iris stood by the high white iron bed and felt her eyes blurring so she couldn't see Bart at all. Then his hand, thin but warm, found hers and closed around 1t tightly. Silently, they stood thus. Silently, while deep vast prayer of grati- tudes welled in Iris heart, swept up to engulf her, until it pounded and beat in her ears like thunder.
 Darling" she whispered shak- fly, I'm so glad can see you"
 Stand by honey" Bart tried to grin and decided it was too much work, but his dark eyes clung to her face as if hungry for every dearly beloved, familiar feature he had remembered "everything's going to be O. K. now"
 of course, darling" Iris said steadily, there aren't any more bills now, Bart. And when you're home again, you'll be surprised at how I can run that budget book. I'm getting all practiced up now"
 He grinned then.

Morquette-First Mississippi Explorer

TRACKLESS wilderness and a
 X vast unknown river stretched ahead of Father Jacques Mar quette and Louis Joliet when they set out from Quebec in pair of
 birchbark canoes one spring morning in 1873. But before their return they were to explore the great Mississippi.
 True, De Soto discovered the Mississippi in 1541, but Marquette and Joliet were it's first real ex- plorers. They traced it almost to the boundaries of the old Spanish dominion in the gulf and from Indians they obtained a full de- scription of the river. even to the gulf.
 No one knew where or how far the Mississippi flowed when Mar quette and Joliet started their journey, accompanied only by five white men and supplied only with corn and smoked meat. Padding down the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, the explorers. reached the Mississippi June IT, 1873. Weeks later, after toiling back up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, the explorers camped for the night on what is now the site of Chicago. The reports of Marquette were then sent on to Quebec by Indian runners.
 A year later Pere Marquette died, 200 miles from his home mission, St. Ignace, in what is now Michigan. He is shown above on a U. S. postage stamp of the Trans-Mississippi Omaha Expo sition issue of 1893, 1-cent green, enlarged. The value depicts him on the Mississippi.

The United States continues to
accumulate more and more of the
worlds gold, During the last week
IN March alone two hundred and
thirty milliondolIars worth of gold
was received from Europe, ship-
ments continue to come In from the
old World by almost every liner
with the result that today United
States owns and controls between
fifteen and sixteen billion dollars
worth OF the precious metal; or
about fifty-eight per cent of the
worlds known supply. Most Of
this gold, which is no longer used
in coinage, is buried in the great
governmental vaults at Fort Taylor
near Louisville, Ky.
Speaking of gold-an expert on
the rare metal told a group Of con.
gressmen the other day that gold
was bsing produced in limited quan
titles in this country at an appro.
ximate cost Of fifteen dollars per
ounce. According to the expert

Quoting copiously from Mem

Reddick concludes his study: 1t IS

and denounced her original testi-
mony as a lie. In June of that same
year, Judge James E. Horton of
Decatur, Ala, who had sentenced
Haywood Patterson to death for the
second time, reversed his own deci-
sion and rendered an opinion which
stated that the evidence aprepen-
derated greatly in favor of the de-
fendants."
''The present status of the Scotts-
boro case is that four of the nine
original defendants are free. The
charge Of rape against five of the
boys-Ozie Powell, Roy Wright, Eu-
gene Williams, Willie Robertson and
Allen Montgomery were dropped in
July, 1887, and, except for Ozie
Powell, these boys were uncondi-
tionally freed when the state of
Alabama admitted that the evidence
against them was doubtful.
"Yet at this same time, the state
of Alabama meted out sentences
against the remaining boys, on the
same evidence (now reduced to the
unsupported testimony Of one wom-
an of doubtful character) that out

South and in Alabama itself as we'll
as in the whole country. Clarence

Graves on July 5, 1889 Haywood

to 90 years. Ozie Powell was given
20 years on charge Of assault
committed upon a sheriff who shot
him in January 1886 while the boys
were being transferred from Deca-
tur 10 Birmingham.
Entering its ninth year, justice
in the Scottsboro case is now in the
hands OF Gov. Frank Dixon of Ala
bama. AL recourse to the courts
has been exhausted. The boys can
now be freed only by pardon from
the Governor.
I'VE appeal on this anniversary
to the conscience of the American
people to help wipe out a crime
against justice which has been JUS
tifably called the shame Of Ameri-
ca!' The innocence of the Scots
boro Boys has been repeatedly prov
en- before the entire world. The state
of Alabama, BY freeing four Of the
boys, removed the last possible
doubt as to their innocence. And
yet eight years after their original
trial FIVE of them are still in prison,
serving cruel sentences for a crime
they never committed.

just as strongly insisted that Con-

such as Stimson and Baruch, both
of whom have had wide experience

in the United sisates before gold
