CHAPTER NINE

Carl Wins, Is Honored by the King
 There were 50 who had come to compete in King Harald's tour nament. Carl was youngest of all. The King himself told them what the tests would be. He stood under a red and white canopy on the field and asked the contestants to pass by him.
 This lad said the King when Carl stepped in front of him, How old are you?'
 Sixteen, Sire" said Carl and he said it so bravely the King smiled and said, Good luck, lad"
 Now then,' saiG the King, you who have come here to compete must pass three tests. First you will shoot at the target down the field 300 paces.
 Those who hit the bulls eye will next shoot through a golden bracelet hung by a silver thread. And those who can do that will be asked to hit a white ball thrown high into the air. The men who succeed in all three tests will be known as the best bowmen of the kingdom.
 When he finished the crowd shouted with excitement. The con- testants formed a line. Carl was

Each man shot in turn. When the test was over there were ten arrows in the bulls eye. Carps arrow was one of them So Carl and the nine other winners stepped into a new line. A Kings guards man led them to a tall oak tree on the lawn There hung the gold bracelet on a silver thread, turn ing slowly in the breeze. Carl was the last to shoot this time. Two others had put their arrows neatly through the golden circle.
 Carl fitted his arrow carefully, watched the bracelet curve into position and then shot. His arrow sped straight through. There was a great shout from the crowds.
 Then Carl and the two others who had passed the second test stepped out into the center of the field. The Kings guard told them to watch carefully as he tossed the ball into the air
 Carl and the two others fitted their arrows into place. The guard threw, the ball spun high into the sunlight and all three contestants let their arrows go at once They watched breathlessly as one ar- row struck the ball. Then they all ran to see which arrow had stuck It was Carl's.
 The King was so pleased that

he walked out across the field to invite Carl to sit on his right at the banquet which was ready There was entertainment as they ate but one old man brought the most applause.
 He had come to watch the tour nament. As the dinner progressed he stepped to the Kings table and asked if he might reach into a huge bowl of grapes just in front of the King.
 The King agreed and the old man reached into the fruit and brought out small tin man which looked like one of the Kings $ guard. There was a ripple of ap- plause down the tables. The old man turned a screw in the toy soldiers back and set him on the table.
 The little tin man walked stiff ly down the tablecloth. As every one watched the toy the old man slipped to the Kings side and put something in his pocket. Then he disappeared in the crowd. You can guess who the old man was, and tomorrow I'll tell you what he put | in the Kings pocket.

Action 10 Restore Parking
Meter Fund Threatened

Describing the diversion of sur
plus parking meter revenue from
the highway fund into the general
fund of the district as an out
rage" the American Automobile
Association today threatened legal
action to compel the restoration
of more than $4,000 of parking
meter surplus revenue to the high
way fund.
"If court decisions on this issue
are strictly interpreted" said the
motor club statement, I'VE seriously
question whether more revenue can
legally be collected than is ac-
tually necessary for the installa-
ton and operation of the parking
meters themselves.
Most certainly any surplus should
be devoted to relief of the parking
situation, which is becoming more
and more acute. and for that pur-
pose the surplus revenue should be
placed in the highway fund"
The legislation providing for the
installation of 309 meters on down.
town streets, the statement pointed
out, did not make any provision
for the disposition of the surplus
revenue over and above the cost of
s139O5 for their purchase and in
stallation. Owing to this Joker" in
the law, the club continued, ST. .943
of parking meter revenue went into
the general fund up to May of this
year.

Staggered Pay Days
Win Support Of ;
D. {. Organizations
Bourd of Trade Awaits
Poll Of Membership
Before Reporting

Reports from all but one of the
local organizations requested by the
District Commissioners to express
views on staggering Federal pay
days show unanimous approval for
the proposal, it was learned today.
The Washington Board of Trade
expects to take official action early
next week following completion of a
poll of its membership.
Asked by the author of the bill,
Senator Capper, Republican, OF
Kansas. to report on the measure
which would provide four pay days
a month and discard the present
semi-monthly system. the Commls-
sioners asked opinions from the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, the
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation, the Federation of Civic
Associations and the Board of Trade
Arthur J. Sundlun, president Of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, said his organization
not only had asked the Commits
sioners. but Senator Reynolds. for
mer head of the Senate District
Committee. some time ago to explain
that Washington merchants were
anxious to level off the peaks in
their business to permit a steady
flow of buying and spending
throughout the month.
Federation Indorses Measure.
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations indorsed the measure at its
last meeting and the Commissioners
have been notified of its stand, Har-
ry N Stull, association president,
said. The Commissioners also have
received a favorable response from
the Federation of Civic Associations.
Washington banks also are study
ing the proposed change in the pay
system. A. M McLachlen, presi-
dent of the District Bankers As
sociation, said bank executives were
not contemplating any opposition to
four-pay day plan, but were dis
cuSsing the change to see what effect
it would have on bank personnel
and other phases of the banking
business
The proposal, introduced in the
Senate by Senator Capper, and in
the House by Representative Hebert.
Democrat, of Louisiana, provides
that the Government pay roll be
distributed over four pay days, the
lst and the 18th and the 7th and
22d of the month.
Another Plan Suggested.
Another plan for staggering pay
days, which has won the support of
some Washington businessmen and
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer, would provide 20 pay days a
month. including Monday to Friday
of each week
District Auditor Arthur R. Pilker-
ton said today he believed District
employees should be included in any
change made in the distribution of
the Federal pay roll He explained,
however, that the ST 100000 monthly
District pay roll probably would be
distributed as unit, resulting only
in possible change in the days of
payment.
He added that per diem workers
in the District government already
are paid on staggered basis to pre-
vent peaks of work in the disbursing
office.

Plans Ordered Drawn
For 9 New Army Camps

Contingent on Congressional ac-
ton on further expansion of the
Army, the War Department has
awarded architectural and engineer
ing contracts for the preparation of
advanced plans and layouts for nine
proposed new triangular division
camp sites.
This is considered merely a pre-
cautionary step in accordance with
War Department plans for any
emergency that may necessitate
sharp increase in the size of the
Army. 1t was estimated the new
construction program would cost
s207,0 100000, or approximately $23,-
100000 for each camp.
Since no money has been author
lied, the whole camp program is de-
pendent on congressional action.
The proposed camp sites are at
Blackstone, Va; Columbus, Ind;
Augusta, Ga; Cookson Hills, Okla;
Neosho, Mo; Fort Smith, Ark; San
ia Maria Lompoc, Calf; Eugene,
Oreg, and Medford, Greg.

 Chan in Rio"

 One of the years most attractive musicals comes to the screen at the Strand on Sunday with the presens tation of Lady Be Good" co-star- ring Eleanor Powell, Ann Sothern and Robert Young.
 The producers have gone "all out" in It's array of talent for this picture with Lionel Barrymore, John Carroll, Red Skelton and Virginia O'Brien adding topnotch talent in featured supporting roles.
 With Miss Powell again revealing an unmatched brilliance as Q dancer, and Ann Sothern singing songs by the Gershwins, Jerome Kern and other hit composers, the picture un- raVelS the story of a song-Wrlting team, played by Miss Sothern and Young, whose success causes the husband to neglect his wife.
 Miss Powell, playing Q Broadway dancer, contrives a plot, with the aid of John Carroll and Red Skelton, and a reconciliation is finally 'effect- cd in a series of humorous situations.
 According to reports, Miss Powell's dancing hits Q new high, outstanding among her numbers being a routine fyN SxJi9tNh cha a1NaNae hA,Anpo HttlkL a trained dog. She also does a fast tap dance and a Boogie- Woogie number done to the accompaniment of five pianos.
 Hitting new stride as well is Ann Sothern. The picture introduces her as a singer for the first time and her version of "The Last Time I Saw Paris" is one of the outstanding hits of Lady Be Good".

more than is paid in salary to the President of the United States.
 Such lopsided situation seems pretty silly to Mitchell. And I don't mean that he begrudges a nickel of his income tax. Tn fact. he is vastly relieved thus to be able to get big share of his income off his con- cience.
 On another stage I found Charles sLaughton, another prosperous actor, in a pretty dour mood. I guess he was worrying about the war. I commented on his activity; he's in "Tales of Manhattan" now, goes to RKO Radio in day or two for "The Tuttles of Tahiti" and is doing a radio show each week. He said he found 1t better to be so busy. Thus he hasn't time to think.
 Part of Mir. Laughton's lInhap- piness may have been due to scene he had just finished. All morning they'd had him dashing up and down long corridor in great agiti- ton and making an exit by pushing open one pair of swinging glass doors. It was a long, exhausting piece of business.
