Man bout

Bv George tucker

NEW YORK, Sept. ia couple
If newspapermen named Herman
Allen and RAIDER Winget left the
office the other afternoon about
five. turned up their coat collars
to avoid the rain, and strol1ed
across to SIND street or their way
10 catch an 9th avenue subway.
pausing to rest in front of the
c1,,h 18. they were momentarlly
startled out of their wits to hear
a big fog horn voice right behind
them boom: Stick 'em up!"
They whirled around, h a n d S
raised. to find themselves con-
fronted by a big cop. He hadn't
drawn his gun but he had slipped
the holster around in front and
he had his hand on the trigger.
What you got your hands in
your pockets for?" he cried ner-
vously. You got a gun?"
Allen didn't, or couldn't an
swer that one. mo, he hasn't got
a gum" said Wingct.
How do you know he hasn't?"
the cop wanted to know. II gotta
frisk you boys"
Wherefore and with no further
loss of time, Allen and Winget got
a good going over.
"Okay," said the cop, after iden-
titles had been established, but
you boys shouldn't stand around
with your hands in your coat peck
ets."
Seems that a couple of days be-
fore a man had been standing on
the same piece of sidewalk when
a cop asked him what he was
doing. The man, a nervous, jittery
individual, whipped out a gun and
shot the cop six times.
This cop was taking no chances.
II admit I was sore at first"
Winget explained later, ''but aft
er I got home and had a look at
myself in the mirror l did not
blame him much. I had on a brown
summer suit, and you know what
they look like when they get wet.
After another peep into the mir
ror I took the suit off and threw it
away"
Here is a little Broadway dra.
ma that doesn't exactly have the
happy ending. An enterprising
young man wrote to a manufac.
turing concern and advised them
that he had obtained one of their
sales films, a motion picture de-
signed to pep up field operatives,
and had put it into "one of my
Broadway theaters." He said he
could get several others in thea.
tiers on Broadway.
The firm Was amazed and de-
lighted. Imagine having a bust
ness film. exhibited to thousands
of people in Broadway theaters!
They sent the extra copies of the
film in a hurry.
Then one of the firms represen-
tatives decided he had to 60 to
New York and have a look at this
wonderful set-up.
When he arrived he found that
his films were in theaters all right
but not movie theaters. They
had been put on in the %burlesque
houses, the manager figuring they
were so dull they would clear the
house quickly after each show.

Her voice had not faltered. She
turned and went toward the stairs.
At the door she looked back, waved
slightly.
Ronald gazed at her. his face
perplexed. What's the idea,
Sarah? Sit down. The pop-overs
look like pop-overs should look"
Sarah didn't answer. She was
going out OF the door, down the
stairway. and Linda heard her
steps growing fainter and fainter.
WAS this a grandstand ges-
ture?" Caroline asked, her eyes a
little serious. 1T sounded genuine
to me-"
1T was real enough. / guess"
Ronald said. The coroner's inves-
tigation is to be at two o'clock and
we all are to be there, Linda. Must
you go to the Office this morning ?"
She nodded. I'D rather. l have

AS she went to the once In the
taxicab which Ronald insisted on
calling. she watched people buying
newspapers at corner stands. She
wondered what they would say
about her. She asked Ronald, who
was accompanying her. but he only
shook his head.

somehow the girls real murderer

He took her hand and held 1t In

her.
At the door OF the building a
curious crowd watched her. She
was glad that the big white cart

reached the elevator.
Joe. the operator OF the night

have been interviewed and appar-
emily some Of them had talked.
The papers said little, though.
Information was meager and scam

she received as she left the cor

Most of them treated the story cir

AS SARAH MARLEY asked
Linda where Ronald was. her voice
was so startled in It's fright that
1t did not try to disguise the love
which Sarah bore for Ronald.
Until now Linda had believed
that Sarah had gone in gay pur-
suit Of him because she could not
have him. She had credited the girl
with using audacity at first. and
wistful resignation at the last
But Sarah's voice was stripped
Of all synthetic qualities now. The
man she loved was in danger and
she wanted to help him. He might
love her, he might not. That did
not matter. All this Linda sensed.
Because she did, her voice was
gentle as she answered "Ronnie
was taken to the police station,
Sarah. It's a CHASTITY mistake, but
everyone is being questioned, and
1t seems there was part OF an hour
when he wasn't at the theater this
evening. He will get an alibi. Of
course. It's too impossible :"
It's too impossible that he should

was thinking, and she knew the
words were in Sarah's mind, too.
Sarah spoke quickly. HE has an

"Oh.h-hi That's good. Then you
can tell the police, can't your"
"Of course. I'll go down right
away I wonder why he didn't men,

didn't want to-"
Sarah hung up, but Linda did
not go to bed. II Sarah really loved
Ronald, then she became an even
more formidable rival, for he would
sense the reality in her part.
But Sarah was defenseless now.
She had let the bars down, as dawn
broke. She could not pretend to
make love gay pursuit any more.
Linda climbed into bed. The room
was cool now and the sky was
growing light. She was wide-eyed.
She wondered how soon Ronald
would be able to call. Almost in
answer to her thoughts, her tele-
phone rang again. and he spoke
her name.
Dearest, may come up?" he
asked. II need some coffee"

RUNNING FEATURE
Of 1870 TRIUMPH


In their opening football game
OF the 1910 season Roosevelt High
School got oil to a good start, de-
feating Dundee 1S to 0 in a game
that featured the hard running OF
Alfred Burrell, captain and full
back OF the RMS eleven From
the opening whistle II was appar-
ent that the Roosevelt lads out
classed the Dundee boys as they
piled up six first downs in the FIRST
quarter alone.
After receiving the opening kick
of and returning 1t to their own
40 yard line. Roosevelt went on
down to the Dundee five yard line
in six plays. Burrell crashed
through the line and skirted the
ends for gains ranging up TO 20
yards and it looked as though a
touchdown was certain when a 10
yard penalty sent them back to the
Dundee 20 yard line, Burrell took
the ball from his fullback spot
through the line for Is yards.
Dundee intercepted an attempt
ed pass from Burrell to Holloway
in the end zone, placing the ball
back to the 80 yard line. A forced
punt was bad being downed on the
45 yard stripe. and from here
Roosevelt successfully wendell their
way by runs and plunges to a
touchdown. A running play for
the extra point failed and the score
stood 6 to 0 for the Rough Riders.
Dundee was forced to punt after
taking the kickoff and Roosevelt
took possession OF the ball on the
so yard line. On the first play
Burrell tucked he ball under his
arm and went through the entire
Dundee team for touchdown. Hol-
loway then took the ball over on
reverse to add the extra point
and make the score Is to 0.

The only threat made by Dun

when they made a first down on
Rooseveit's f3 yard iine--The next
play netted three yards but on the
succeeding one Noel Campbell
broke through to nail the runner
for ten yard loss all the way
back to the 20 yard line. This
seemed to halt the Dundee threat
as they failed to make enough
yardage in the rext two plays and
Roosevelt took over the ball.
No serious threats were made
after that by either team although
the Dundee passing attack began
functioning in the final quarter.

He did," Linda answered, slip
ping into dark blue printed dress
that was frilled with infinite mi
mute tuckings and putting on navy
sandals that matched. She might
as well get ready for the Office
now, she decided.
BY the time Ronald's taxicah
stopped in front of the old red
brick house she and Caroline had
table set by the balcony windows,
with crisp yellow cloth and nap
kins, and cream colored plates and
cups and saucers.
There were yellow roses in 4 low

orange juice at the three places,
The odor Of coffee and frying bacon
came from the kitchenette, and
Caroline was stirring up poplovers
ITS nearly half-past SIX" Linda
said in amazement. II haven't had
any sleep at ALL"
Yet her eyes were as wide as
though she had gone TO bed at nine
O'Clock. Her body felt tired,
though. She knew she would be
glad when this day ended. She
dreaded, too, to enter the office and
sit down at the desk where Clara
bell had been shot.
No one had been able to offer
any clues as to the gun which mad
killed the girl. One bullet was
lodged in her chest, and the other
had entered her temple and come
out. 1t had not been in the room.
Apparently the murderer had
picked 1t up and taken 1t away,
Waiting for Ronnie, Linda real
lied that the girls body would be
examined and the men would probe
for the bullet. An identification OF
it would lead to the type Of revol-
yer from which 1t had been fred.
Then the stores would be checked
for past sales. She was glad she
did not know how to shoot.
Down below a cab was stopping.
Ronald got out, looked up, waved.
He turned to assist someone. She
recognized Sarah.
So Sarah had arrived Just as
Ronald was leaving, and out of
kindness he had invited her. The
silly, adorable nit-wit! Didn't he
know that this was a special morn
ing and Sarah had no part in it?
Because she felt sorry, though, for
any girl who loved Ronald and
could not have him, she was gra-
cious and hospitable to Sarah.
Sarah did not remove the thin
black silk jacket she wore over her
white silk frock or take Off the

Soil-Improving Materials Now
Available to Farmers

iGRANARY CUT
Materials for agricultural con-
servation use under the 1941 Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
tion farm program which began in
Delaware September 1, are now
available to farmers taking part in
the program. Farmers may order
these materials at the county Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
tion officers Immediately, to be
used this fall in carrying out soil
building practices, reports r. o.
Stelzer, executive officer of the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton for Delaware.
Soil building materials now avail
able include ground limestone, su-
perphosphate and Austrian winter
pea seed. They are supplied in
place of cash conservation pay
ments to farmers who participate
Smyrna times., 1940-09-19

in the farm program. Farmers
may use them in carrying out ap-
proved AAA soil-building practic-
es.
Supplying conservation materials
through the AAA farm program
has enabled farmers to greatly ex-
pand the use of oi-building prac-
tees on land especially in need of
them, Stelzer said. State exten-
sion agronomists have emphasized
the value to farmers of having
limestone and phosphate in their
soil-building programs. They urge
that farmers seed all their cuiti-
waited acres to a winter cover crop
this fall to protect the soil from
erosion and teaching.
The close to $500 Delaware
farmers who participated in the
1910 AAA farm program obtained
and used a total of 1,463 tons of
lime through the agricultural cor
servation materials program.
