Sometimes you'd like to do things

She beamed as the little ladies,

down to their quilting and giggled
like schoolgirls. Mrs. Barlow makes
most of the jokes and Mrs. Burow is
her best audience.
Mrs. Burow is more of a piece

Then Mrs. Burow piped up, well,
you're better crocheter than I am. "
I'VE call them our twins" Mrs.
Barlow said fondly.
There's just years difference in

Priest Tells of Stone Age Men
In Hidden New Guinea Valley
Fother Ross Here
For Mission
Crusade

The tale Of a lost stone ARe
civilization" whose bearded men
have dwelled for centuries hidden
and unsuspected in the great valley
OF a South Sea island. was brought
to Washington yesterday. Few
white men-and no white women
have ever seen this fruitful valley,
teeming with a population Of 200,-
600.
But a keen-eyed Catholic priest,
venturesome far beyond his feet
Of stature, has sailed here to tell
his story to young men and women
of the Catholic Mission Crusade,
meeting at Catholic University.
For five years now, longer than
any other man, 44-year-old Father
William Ross. S. v. D., has lived
among the sturdy folk deep in the
interior of Australian New Guinea
One-third of them. armed with
spears and arrows tipped by sharp
bones fashioned from the forearms
Of their own dead relatives, are
cannibals.
yet they are, on the whole, noble
and peaceable," said Father Ross.
For instance, they never drink in
toxicants-making them unique in
that part Of the world. The roots
from which kava-the usual native
drinks made do not grow in their
high altitude. and towering noun
tains on every side prevent its
transportation"
Discovered by Prospector.
Father Ross first entered the fer
tile valley, isolated as tabled Atlantis,
in January of 1894, shortly after a
wandering gold miner. Michael
Leahy, first stumbled across it and
almost dropped dead with sur
prise"
Leaving the steaming, malaria
infested coast, where in six years
he had built congregation of 1900
native Christians, Father Ross made
his way inland for SO days. Leaving
behind him the palm and bread
fruit trees of the coastal plain and
the treacherous Ramu River, he and
his party struggled over the Bismark
Ranges rising to $1,000 feet-then
came upon the secret valley, 100
miles long. 80 miles wide, and lush
with shoulder-hig cane grass and
the sweet potato patches of the
Mogei tribe,
Within a year fatal arrows had
pierced the lungs of his two COM
panions, Brother Eugene Frank Of
Mount Carmel, ILL.,, and Father Carl
Morscheuser, German.
Alone, Father Ross mastered In
eight months a language that no
white man had ever learned. Friend
ly Mogei boys were his tutors. in
structing at first by gestures. Then
the priest turned the tables, teach
ing the youths the magic" Of writ
ing their tongue phonetically.
Ghosts, lowering in trees, streams
and caves, are the traditional gods
of the Mogei, so Father Rose spread
the Christian story of creation by
translating the Old Testament into
Mogei, and mimeographing 100 cop
les Of it. Then he published .

Col. WetheriIl's S
Son Is Fatally
Shot by Chun'
Pistol in Hands of
Gen. Strong's Son
Fires Accidentally

A death certificate was prepared
today as the final, tragic chapter in
the story of a friendship between
two boys-both sons of high-rank-
ing Army ofhcers-who had swum,
hunted, played games and worked
side by side over a period Of II
years.
Today one of the youths was
dead, shot accidentally by his chum.
The dead boy was Stanley Wetherill,
II, of 3718 Morrison street NV, the
son of Col. Richard Wetherill, Army
officer assigned to the Organized
Reserve headquarters at the War
Department.
He was shot about pm. yester-
day by his friend, Ronald Strong,
II, 1904 Fulton street NV, the son
of Brig. Gen. George v. Strong,
chief of the War Plans Division of
the Army General Staff.
The shooting occurred in a patch
Of woods at the end of Beach Drive,
near Forest Glen, Md, where the
two had been firing at targets. An
old English dueling pistol, in Rom
AIDS hands, discharged in some
manner, the % caliber bullet strik-
ing Stanley in the chest, boring be-
tween two ribs and killing him al
most instantly.
Ronald Absolved of Blame.
Ronald was absolved of blame by
Montgomery County, Md, police and
sent home. DR.. C. E. Hawks, Mont
gomery County medical examiner,
said a certificate of accidental death
had been prepared and would be
issued today.
Mrs. Strong, appalled, by the trag-
edy, told today how the boys had
been best friends" spending much
of their time in recent months to-
gether. Tuesday night they were
at the Strong home oiling up the
pistol and rifle in preparation for
yesterdays target practice.
Ronald told police that they had
been shooting at tin cans with the
rife during the afternoon and then
decided to try out the old pistol, an
heirloom in the Strong family. STAN
ley fired round with the gun and
handed it to Ronald, who reloaded
and started to cock it.
Apparently the hammer slipped
and the gun twisted in his hand,
Ronald said. It went of and STAN
ley slumped to the ground.
Stopped Physician.
Ronald rushed to his side, carried
him to an automobile and started to
rush him to hospital. On the way
In, at Connecticut avenue and Un-
derwood streets, the boy spotted the
medical insignia on car driven by
DR.. Emil G. Bauersfeld, who prac-
tices in Bethesda.
He stopped the doctor, who ex-
amined Stanley and pronounced him
dead. Ronald explained the cir
cumstances of the shooting to DR..
Bakersfield, who summoned police.
The body was removed to a
Bethesda funeral home and Ronald
led police to the scene of the shoot
ing. Satisfied with his story, Mont
gomery County authorities ordered
Ronald released.
DR.. Hawks said that it appeared
the bullet had severed an artery in
Stanley's body. The small caliber
gun does not fire with great force,
police pointed out, and had the
bullet struck a quarter of an inch
higher of lower it would probably
have been detected by a rib.
Gen. Strong was in Plattsburg,
N. Y, for the Army maneuvers at
the time Of the accident and Mrs.
Wetherill was on vacation in Bar
Harbor, Me.

rubbing her hands. "You mustn't

like that"

for being so foolish. cts only
have you really got me a job?"

calling Mrs. Peterman's. You're to
show up tomorrow at the Western
Realities Office at eleven-eleven
something Lothrop avenue. I've got
the address down somewhere here"
He slapped his pocket and went on
studying her critically.
"Bet you haven't eaten a bite
today" he decided accusingly.
"And you've been out in the rain,
too. Here! Grab my arm, and if you
think you can make it, let's move
over into the grille" With a nod
toward the hotel dining room on
the right, "What you need is to get
on the outside of a bowl of hot

Iona laughed at his concern.
Actually laughed. you're always
taking me some place and feeding
me-" she protested.
"You seem to need feeding" he
answered, with a grim smile. ~
Later, over shaded restaurant
table she found herself telling him
all about Melvin Hardy and her
mornings experience. She hadn't
meant to tell him. She hadn't
meant to tell anyone, ever. But
somehow, with the good meal she
had just eaten warming her, and
the prospects Of a job tomorrow
easing her troubled mind, her world
seemed to have changed. And there
was something about this Jim that
invited condolences. The sympathy
in his eyes seemed to draw the
words from her, just as it had been
when she told him last night about
her father.
"He said there was a blacklist
and that IA convict's daughter
would stand at the head of the
list" finished her tale. stumbling a
little over the epithet, but repeated
it bravely. "Do you think he can
do anything like that?" she asked,
anxiously.

CHAPTER SEVEN

TT WAS raini, when Iona
came out of the department store,
where she had retrieved her
checked suitcase; a drizzling sum-
mer rain that soaked her thin
shoes in few minutes, and made
the jacket of her suit cling to her
shapelessly. With listless disinter-
est she walked on and on, scarcely
noting. her direction, until she
came, finally, to a For Rent" sign
in a window of house sufficiently
'dilapidated in appearance for her
purpose.
The room to which the whiny-
voiced landlady conducted her was
shabbier even than her memory of
Mrs. Peterman's. It was on the
third floor, with one dingy window,
and SCARED, rickety furniture she
hated on sight.
1.-TWO dollars" the woman told
her, with sharp eye on her wet,
worn suit and sodden shoes, paid
In advance"
"Of course" she heard herself
agreeing YEARLY. I'm advance.
always pay in advance" And she
gravely handed out two dollars of
Jim Claridge's money.
When the woman was gone, she
threw herself, wet clothes and all,
prone on the grayish bedspread.
Exhaustion, the anesthetizing ex-
haustion Of despair, stole over her.
Too tired even to shed the tears
that were pressing like heated balls
against her lids, she shut her eyes,
and listened duly to the beating of
the rain on the roof. If she could
only lay here like this forever, and
not have to think.
It was late afternoon before she
reused, finally, to the knowledge
that the rain had ceased and that
she had had no lunch.
AS she stopped to lift her suit
case to the one chair the room
boosted, telephone shrilled some
where below and for moment she
Istiffened expectantly, as she had
been doing now for months. Always
there had been hope in her mind at
the sound of telephone. She had
left her address so many places. It
was possible, someone MIGHT call.
Then she slumped again as she
remembered. Nobody would be
calling her here( Nobody knew
where she was. And she would tell
nobody either, she thought, as the
mornings bitterness flooded back.
Not even Jim Claridge. He should
not know what become Of her. She
wouldn't have him hunting her up
and being kind to her again.
Stripping off her wrinkled Jack
ct, she opened her purse for the
key to her grip. If she must go out
for something to eat, she'd have to
wash her face and hunt out fresh
blouse. And then, with dismay, she
saw that the key was gone. She re-
called that she had used it back at
the hotel that morning. She must
have left it there She had set it
on the dresser for a moment, she
remembered, while she put on her
hat. Shed have to go back for it.
There was no getting out of it. How
careless, how dreadfully careless of
her!
Scolding herself, she banged
down the steps and out onto the
street again, conscious Of her un-
