Schmeling, tough and brown as a

ten trips he made to the United
States between 1928 and 1889 to
whip or be whipped by the out

years, when he was always a con-
tender and once a champion.

Schmeling. II know better how he

But Schmeling, who beat Louis
once and then took an awful drub-
bling in return, has no great hopes
Of meeting the negro boxer again,
what with a war standing sauarely
in his path.

tory"
Less than two hours after Hoey's
statement was released, John Folger
of Mount Airy, chairman of the
North Carolina for Roosevelt
movement, issued a statement as.
sorting that I'VE propose to carry
on"
Folger's release vas addressed "to
the people of the state" and made
no mention of the governors declara-
ton.
Folger's statement follows:
"T wish to say that it is the pur-
pose of our organization to aid in
extending opportunities to all the
democratic voters of the state, to
speak and say whether they desire
Mr.. Roosevelt for president again.
We are not selecting any candidate,
announced or unannounced, to be
against. We are not undertaking to
force anyone to our way of think
ing. We do believe that Mr.. Roose-
welt should be the nominee of the
democratic convention for president
for another term. We believe also
that the voters Of North Carolina
should take their part of their stand
in settling the question of who shall
be the nominee.
1.-THE response to vi announce
ment of our undertaking persuades
us that Mr.. Roosevelt is the choice
of the vast majority of democrats
in North Carolina. If that is true,
we wish it to be registered in the
recorded will by the ballots, and
through the conventions from the
precincts to the state convention. Ii
it is not the will of the people we
shall yield gracefully after a full op-
portunity has been afforded them
to make their wishes known. We
realize that there are some good
and patriotic men who oppose the
idea of a third term. Ordinarily,
we can see that there is a rather
prevalent opposition to a third term.
The trainers of our constitution re-
fused, however, to embody that as
a part Of our constitution. Circum-
stances they, no doubt, regarded
might make unwise such a constitu-
tional provision.
North Carolina is not only enti-
tied to be heard upon the nomina-
ton of a candidate for president,
but, being one of the 4S states, and
one of the original 10, we feel that
our state is entitled to speak, and
shall speak, for this aus We or
ganized and for this cause, We pro-
to carry on"
Folger's aids said he wrote h
statement without knowledge of
Hoey's declaration.

Nothing you or she or any one else
can say will make me change nv

He tapped his fingers on the table
and relaxed In his chair as an
amused smile came to his lips.
How like little girl you are,
Elaine. You're so prim about some
things, and so sure you're right in
your opinion of Eric and Clara.
Did 1t ever occur to you that q
kiss doesn't mean anything? Eric
hasn't been contaminated simply
because his lips touched Clara's,
And his love for you hasn't been
impaired In the slightest by it. And
as for Clara ;"
Eric was engaged to marry me" !"
Elaine interrupted tonelessly, CLARA
was my friend and professed great
regard for me. But she looked upon
Eric and found him to her liking
and so she set out to steal him from
me. Eric apparently had no OBJ
jections to that, which means he
didn't love me after ALL"
I'm other words, he sacrificed his
mothers regard, the fortune which
might some day have been his, and
his social position just for the fun OF
it?" Melvyn's mocking laugh doomed
out in the small room. Elaine, I'm
surprised at you. I though you had
more intelligence than that"
DIR. Stuart Is Wise.
Elaine could feel burning in her
cheeks and she turned her head
away to escape his mocking eyes.
But she was right! For all the
words he might utter in their de-
Tense, she was right. Had Eric loved

her he would never have considered
kissing another girl, and II Clara
were her friend she would never have
permitted him to take her into his
arms. Another thought ran through
her head and she turned her gaze
back to Melvyn.
How come you're taking Eric's
side all Of sudden? I thought
that you were hoping something like
this would happen?"
II was" he admitted with q slow
drawl. And I still hope you won't
marry him. But I don't like to see
you acting like a schoolgirl. or tossing
aside one Of your best friends, lust
because Of kiss. Why don't you be
sensible and make up with both Of
them?"
1T I did I would never marry YOU"
she reminded him softly. Knowing
that, would you still advise me to
forget about the kiss?"
He met her eyes frankly. knowing
that you would marry him, I would
never send you back. But that is
just the point. You won't marry
him, Elaine. Give Eric enough rope
and he'll hang himself. Some day
he'll do something so serious that
he will kill whatever love you feel
for him. Then you'll come to me.
want to marry you, yes, but
want to marry you when you love me.
Right now you fancy yourself
through with Eric-but you aren't.
No women's love Is killed just be-
cause Of a kiss, and right this

aren't through with Eric"

"And that was Billy" Melvyn
commented with smile an hour or
so later as they sat slipping cocktails
at rear table In a restaurant on
Ninth avenue. But you know,
Elaine, Billy is right in one respect.
Those youngsters must have some
thing to do with themselves every
minute OF the day or they will
constantly be getting into trouble. y
Elaine placed her glass down con-
scious OF sickish sensation. She
hadn't intended to order q cocktail
for they never did agree with her,
but somAhow or other Melvyn had
cajoled her into accepting one. She
picked up the tumbler Of water and
drank from 1t.
"Why doesn't the hospital provide
them with something to do then?"
she asked. Gracious, ii that's all
they need to make them behave
I should imagine the hospital, would
be glad to buy them toys and games"

Melvyn shrugged his shoulders.
Games and toys cost money and the
hospital can't afford them. But
everything will be different now
Clara Is having her father send a
batch OF them over to us. You
know, Elaine, Clara is a swell person.
Shes very generous and kind and
thinks nothing of going out of her

tight line and eyed him coldly. You

Billy hastily laid down his knife
and fork and pushed his chair after
them as they walked toward the door.
His brown eyes were round with
anxiety as he looked at Elaipe's
gravely composed face.
II ain't-I'm glad you came, Miss
Warburton, an hope you amt
angry with me. I guess I hate all
women excepting you."
Elaine smiled as she took his
timidly proffered hand firmly in
hers. She looked into his worried
eyes. I'm not angry with you, Billy.
And I'm very glad that you like me.
But I'm sorry that you have decided
to become women hater. What
ever caused you to want to become

Always in Isolation.

The cottony white cloud drifted
lazlly across the brilliant blue sky
just a cloud, but it was free. A
robin winged its way from tree to
tree, chirping merrily as though it
found life very good and evry sweet
just robin, but it was free. The
fly buzzed busily about the window
of the room, darting up toward the
ceiling, then hurting down toward
the floor as though testing the
strength of its gossamer- thin wings
before venturing into the great out
doors-just a fly. but it was free.
Ten-year-old Billy Gircke saw all
these things and shook his head
in wonder. 1t didn't make sense.
The cloud, the robin, the fly, were
all free, but he, man, one of the
masters of the world wasn't free.
He was in durance vile!
He pushed his wheel chair away
from the window and scowled as
he glanced about the small, cheer
less room. For the -thousandth
time his rowing eyes fell upon the
gray bedstead, the stiff backed
wooden chair, the ceiling from which
piece of plaster had fallen, the
four white walls, and, finally, the
door. How long ago had it been
since Miss Caruthers slammed it
angrlly shut? Only couple of
hours, he guessed; they hadn't
served supper yet and he'd been
jailed as soon as school was over.
But-his face blanched-maybe they
weren't going to give him any
supper. Perhaps Miss Caruthers had
decided to starve him to death! That
wouldn't be civilized, of course, but
Miss Caruthers was woman and
no woman was civilized.
A sudden thought brought smile
to his worried face. DR.. Stuart
wouldn't let him starve to death.
He and the doctor were pals and If
Miss Caruthers really tried to kill
him the doctor would put her in
her place. After all, she was lust
the chief of the nurses and he was a
surgeon, and she would have to take
orders from him.
A Surprise For Billy.
But as quickly as the smile had
appeared on his lips it fled again.
for he had another distressing
thought. Maybe DR.. Stuart would saw
ne shouldn't have poured salt in Miss
Caruther's hair, But no. DR.. Stuart
wouldn't say that. He was a surgeon
and he knew a lot about science
and he would appreciate the fact
that he had simply been exper-
imenting on Miss Caruthers. All
scientists had to experiment. How
could you tell what salt would do to
lady's hair until you tried it out?
Billy whirled swiftly around as the
door swung open. His eager eyes
noted first the well-filled tray and
then the girl who was carrying it.
Was she new nurse? But of course
not; If she was she would be wearing
uniform, and besides, she was too
pretty to be just a nurse. He
watched her with solemn eyes as
she placed the tray on the white
enameled bedstand.
Thank you very much for bring
Ing my supper" he said gravely,
but you have to 60 now. I'm in
Dutch"
Elaine smiled as she walked across
the room and sat down beside the
bed. But DR.. Stuart told me to
come to see you," she said, equally
grave. HE said to be sure to visit
his best pal"

castically. Stung by his matter-of-

from his and glanced idly sbout the

as she saw Betty andl Clara come In
through the restaurant door. A
sudden, knowing gleam skone in her
eyes.
"Melvyn, did you tell Clara to meet
us here?" she was white with anger
but she managed to control herself,
to keep her voice calm.
"Of course" he said, unabashed by
the fury that blazed in her eyes.
