CHAPTER Nv

Miss Agatha Paget laid a red ten

beside the cards on her table. A
cigarette dangled from her lips.
Through its smoke her eyes shone
bright as the diamond pin at the
throat of her black silk gown.
She should have been knitting in
stead of playing Garfield. The drink,
the cards and the tobacco seemed
as out of place as cuspidor in
church. She blew cloud from her
nose, ground out the cigarette on a
tray, and nodded toward chair.
Come in, David" she said. "Sit

I obeyed. She held a card above

As old as radio is the annoying

a grating sound comes from your

reason.
Cecil B. DeMille thought he'd
solved the problem for his radio
theater last year, by using a hang

stand to guide them, actors bumped
their heads into the mike. (Glut-

The 52.6 second kiss record set by
Ann Sheridan and George Brent in
Honeymoon for Three" brought re-
actions of all kinds from here, there
and elsewhere.
A Los Angeles laundry asked for
the handkerchief used by Brent to
wipe off Miss Sheridan's lipstick, of
fering to launder it for nothing. An
inventor in Indianapolis asked Brent
to be the first to try his new lipstick
remover. A clock manufacturer in
quired what kind of watch was used
to time the kiss. A New York pro-

pair if they would officially open a

Big Italian Offensive
In Egypt Not Felt
To Be Imminent
But Bedouins Leave
Desert Homes for
Sofer Regions
By EDWARD KENNEDY,

WITH THE BRITISH TROOPS
IN EGYPT, Oct. 2.-On a 100-mile
trip along the British front in Egypt
I have seen no indications that q
big Italian push" is imminent-but
the threat of the white mans war
already is driving the children Of
the desert from their homes.
With their f1ocks and wives, the
proud Bedouin tribesmen have be-
gun an exodus to safer regions, just
ss the people of Belgium and North
ern France fed before the onrush
Of Adolf Hitler's armored legions.
Long camel caravans plod east
ward with the possessions of the
desert dwellers and the squalid mud
hut villages fringing scattered oases
are rapidly being deserted.
Impetus to the exodus was given
by the Egyptian government. which
sent troops to warn the desert peo-
pie of their danger. but they left
their homes reluctantly.
Italians Consolida ting.
One sheik, whose 4 veiled wives
and II children were crowded into
truck, complained loudly Of the
inconvenience-"especially TO a man
with . household like mine"
The Italians appear to be con-
solidating their positions on the
strip Of wasteland they occupied two
weeks ago before any attempt to
drive deeper into Egypt.
The British declare they are ready
to repulse any such attempt, when
it comes. and say they will fight the
battle on lines of their own choos-
ing.
Principal Italian outposts in Egypt
are Sidi Barrani, on the Mediter-
ranean coast, and Bir Sofafi, an
inland oasis near the Libyan from
tier. The Italians have driven a
wedge into Egypt so miles long
and as miles wide at its base.

Why do I say this? The whole
country knows that I favor proper
regulation Of business-particularly
big business. But too much red
tape, too many regulations to fill
out, too much supervision and sus-
picion on the part of the Govern

The fact is, $500 900 men are out
