'BUSPASSENCERSI
 START STAMPEDE
Police Called Out to Calm Anxious New Workers
 HOmeward Bound

Thirty New Workers, battling for five places on bus, caushed 15- minute bedlam in Exchange Place last night before three motor patrol squads and two patrolmen restored order and got the first bus away and put the leftover passengers in another bus.
 The scramble started when the crowd of tourists saw a bus pull up with only few vacant seats. They pushed to be the first in, as the swamped driver called for a police man. Parolman Green called head quarters to find out how many pas sengers could stand in the bus.
 The word came back Five" It was a small word and the crowd pushed harder. More police men were called and they finally got the bus away from the curb The disappointed passengers turn ed angrily on the ticket agent. However, another bus pulled 1T shortly afterwards, and the over flow was accommodated.

lovely mouth in firm determined line.
 Perhaps not because you're an heiress, but because you're a Norris" Georgette reminded her. But at least, put him out of your mind while you're learning to fly"
 Anne made & face at her. T don't know why on earth l let you talk me into this. Why should I take up my time on student fly ing course-when I don't care two whoops about it"
 oh Anne" Georgette was ob- viously exasperated, ito hear you talk, you'd think there wasn't anything thrilling about learning to fly"
 "Is there?"
 Of course" Georgette said en- Enthusiastically. "Just the adventure of it is something-and the sense of power and of achievement" She broke of at the expression of mis- chievous amusement on Anne's face. You know wanted you to go into 1t because I did, and didn't want to do 1t alone"
 "That's nonsense" Anne told her with a short laugh. "You talked me into taking a student flying course because you thought 1t would take my mind of Tony Scott. You can't fool mel" She laughed again and linked her arm affectionately though the other girls.
 The two girls made a striking pair as they stood in the sun, dress ed almost alike in smartly colorful sport clothes, Georgette's cool, bru- net beauty a charming contrast to Anne's more radiant appearance, Two men coming out the door of the administration building were immediately conscious of this, all though deep in conversation.
 "Of our 50 Civil Aeronautics Authority flying students here, five of them, or 10 per cent, are girls" the tall, broad-shouldered, blond man was saying. They'll be given the same courses of training as the men, and the same physical and mental requirements are necessary for enrolment"
 And if those girls are samples, we should have gorgeous flying reserve" The other man nodded toward Anne and Georgette. But it seems you have all the luck, Dick. The red-haired girl is THE Anne Norris. With thousands of student pilots in the country, you would draw the number one glamor girl"
 Captain Dick Douglas scowled. "You can call it luck if you want to, Bob. don't"
 | Bob Davis grinned. Beautiful debutante learns to fiy," he said, as if quoting newspaper headlines whats more, beautiful debutante is the niece of Arnold Dwight, head of Dwight Aaircraft. And you say it isn't-luck."
 Arnold Dwight is swell guy , Dick said tersely, I'd give my left arm to work for him. But as fai as I'm concerned, that niece is just another spoiled darling looking fol a new thrill = or more likely, foi a new way to make the headlines. His eyes were like blue ice. "Talk about movie stars craving pub. licity. They aren't in 1t with these society debs. Well. I'll show hei there's more to flying than having your picture taken in a helmet"
 Her black-haired girl friens Isn't so bad" :,

 an-American Delegates esIarade Held

brother at Randolph Field. He's one of the best friends have. And his sistier's cut from the same cloth"
 For few minutes, the two men stood discussing details of the CAA program of flight training and its part in the life of Midland University.
 "The university authorities here are giving us every help possible" Dick said. Professors in many departments are giving hours and hours outside of regular class work to student instruction. It's all pretty encouraging"
 "These preliminary faniliariza. ton flights should help you to dis pei a lot of bad flying lore," Davis suggested.
 "Yes, 1t does," Douglas agreed. "A good many of these students have flown on passenger air lines and developed their own theories of flight ."
 Anne Norris and Georgette Park CT were still in earnest conversa- ton. Level-headed, serious Georg- cite had been Anne's roommate ever since they had started to Midland When she finished a fashionable preparatory school, Anne's uncle and guardian had decided that CO., educational Midland would be bet ter for Anne than the exclusive finishirr school that they had at first tered. Annes honest frif nd impulsive, affec- tic had made her a fav- ori the girls, While her cha pirit and golden red- hairl ...y made her one of the most popular girls on campus.
 When Georgette enrolled for the student flying course she begged Anne to join her. For a time, Anne would not agree, but finally she signed for the course.
 Today was to be her first in- struction in the air, but her mind was far from aviation. Her eyes were watching the highway for Tony Scott's flashing, bright blue roadster.
 She was impatient with Geor- gette, as with all others who were obiecting to Tony. It was true that his father was a rich man; true, too, that the source of his money was questionable, and that many of Tonys companions were far from desirable.
 | D,,A CT fJiffnra1Hf frnNn any of the men she had ever known in her life. He did excit- ing, daring things, and she liked him. That was enough for her.
 If you see Tony, ask him to wait for me-" she called to Geor- gette, walking away before the other girl could answer.
 Absorbed in conversation, Dick and Bob failed to notice the red haired girl had left her companion They didn't notice, either long high-powered, bright blue road ster roaring down the highway to. ward the airport. Anne saw 1t however.
 Watching it, and its driver, al she walked absentfnindedly ou into the field, she forgot the fiyinl lesson ahead of her, forgot heI uncles ultimatum about Ton! Scott, forgot Georgette - forgot too, the whirling prop of the plan that had been warming up for he first flight.
 The first warning of her dange came when suddenly Georgett , screamed:

Germ ans ir:
 Holland Are
 Ordered Home
Warning Gives Emphasis of Grave Nature on
 Frontier

OLDENzAAL, Netherlands, March 1.-German authorities have warned their nationals temporarily living in Holland to return to Germany at once. The warning gave added em- phasis of a grave nature to great activity along the German-H Holland frontier.
 It is reported that the Germans are extending the Siegfried Line defenses the entire length of the Belgian and the Dutch frontiers, clear to the North Sea.
 Most of the persons affected by the order to return to Germany are citizens of Dutch descent who nor mally live across the frontier on German territory. Unless they re- turn within 24 hours, their pass ports will be cancelled.
 The order presumably is in con- nection with the extension of the defense line.
 Traffic across the frontier will be almost stopped. and it is feared that the frontier may even be entirely closed.
 Germans in the immediate from tier districts are warned that trans portation facilities will be restricted for at least three months.
