What a HeeI-Shaw


in "Rogues' Gallery" are Shaw,
Dresser, Jim Tully, Steinbeck,
Frank Harris, Thomas Mann,
Harry Bridges, Pirandello, Wen

and Haywood Broun. These can

some caustic razzing and sheer
sentimental grovellng.

Thomas Manp; He could teach
his fellow-exiles what he has

the inside of the car was In
undated by a sea OF fire.
The first tongues OF flame
were more than she could stand.
Somehow she got the door open
and plunged 10 the ground, but
the agony Of soaring heat
brought her wavering TO her
feet. Then she got a fleeing
glimpse Of her companion; she
became oblivious 10 everything
but that she must drag Bill
from that inferno. In spite of
the pain-maddening heat. in
spite Of the agony Of her own
wounds, Betty managed to get
hold of one of Bills arms and
with superhuman effort dragged
him of the seat into q crumpled
heap alongside the car. She
knew he would die there so she
tugged and tugged. dragging him
with her tortured hands until
she was 10 feet from the car
there she crumpled 10 the
ground beside him.
The sheriff drove back TO
Portageville, where he found
the streets, normally deserted
at that hour, filled with towns
people obviously in an ugly
mood; many carried shotguns.
The sheriff began his own in
vestigation which was based on
the evidence that the man
wanted had worn NEW hunt
ing clothes. Usually, hunting
clothes in that area are pur-
chased In the fall for bird and
rabbit shooting. one season of
which Is enough TO take the
sheen from any outfit however
expensive. Thus Ransburgh
drew the conclusion that the
clothes had been purchased re-
Gently. II the murderous hitch
hiker was a local man, he would
have bought the hunting outfit
" any one of three local stores;
and being out of season. the
merchants would very likely re-
call the sale.
The storekeepers, like most
of the towns citizens, were up
and dressed despite the fact
that II was now almost 4 a. m.
They were eager to assist in
any way possible. especially
when they heard the news that
had just come from New
Madrid-William Hawkins was
dead! The operating surgeons
had recovered 80 caliber slug
from lis brain. and the local
police gave il as their opinion
that it had been fired from a
Col. automatic.

II was grim sheriff who
followed his plan OF action and
received from the merchants a
list of five men who had within
the past month bought new
hunting coats.
BY the time he was ready TO
start checking on them the first
streaks of dawn had lightened
the horizon. He was assisted
by Deputy Kline, who had
brought the added information
that Hawkins had been robbed
of an expensive Waltham wrist
watch, according to a statement
made by his parents.
The first name they decided
10 check was that of young
Jim Moody, who had a farm
three miles north of town; he
was TO be investigated first be-
cause his description, given by
the storekeeper, was closest TO
that furnished by the girl.

Faced Flaming Death

During the next few seconds
Betty Peterson lived a lifetime
of agony. If she moved she
would certainly be shot again
by the chuckling fiend-if she
stayed where she was, she would
be bdrned alive. The conflict
was too much, a scream rose 10
her torn lips just as she heard
the scratching of a match; but
her lacerated mouth muffled
the scream and it was totally
drowned in the roar of flame as

1t. Brown also gave them the
daily communicates and bits Of
history concerning the places

speech of Henry v from Shake

Here is the poetic way 1t.
Brown describes 10 his buddieS

IN THE REALM OF BOOKS
By Benjamin DeCasseres

One Of the more subtle modes
of Red propaganda in this coun-
try is:
"You know, my dear fellow,
that the Americans and Rus
SLAMS are very much alike"
When you press for factual
details, your Machiavellian in
former will say:
"Well. they both had revolu-
lions, ulunf theyf"
One has but 20 read "A Treas
uryo of Russian Life and Humor"
(Coward-McCann), edited by
John Cournos, to see how far
apart In philosophical ideas,
literature, wit, humor and fun
damental character the two
peoples are.
In fact, no two peoples in the
world are farther apart, and
no two peoples will, in my opin-
ion. ever remain farther apart
than the fanatical, mystical.
feudalistic-minded inbitten Rus
SLAMS and the tolerant, wide
awake, modern-minded, extro-
verified Americans.
Neurotic Mixture
The book itself, however, is
the best anthology of Russian
literature / have ever read.
All the great works of Rus
sian prose and poetic literature,
music, painting and drama were
achieved before the 1917 revo-
luton.
In Is years under the bloody
dictatorship of Lenin and Stain
Russia has produced nothing of
universal value. Why? Simply
because the creative soul is
strangled by censorship and
secret police. Here is a sample
Of Bolshevik poetry" by V.
Kirillov:
an the name Of our Tomorrow
1Ue WilL burn Rafael,
Destroy museums, crush under
foot the foUers Of art.
Mdidens IN the radiant Kingdom
Of the future
Wa be more beautiful than
Venus dc Milo"
A mixture of sadistic insanity
and messianic neurosis-that is
bolshevism. Maybe the way TO
revive Russian literature and
art Is TO put the Romanoffs mot

Low told the court that he had
"playfully'' drawn the dull edge
of his knife across the throat of
fellow-patron.
Il didn't mean any harm" Low
said. Il just felt good because
I had few days shore leave" He
denied that he was drunk.
The defendant asked the court
to release him so he could get back
to his ship. Judge Scott dismissed
the drunk charge and suspended
sentence on the concealed-weapon
charge, releasing Low on his per-
sonal bond. The seaman was ad-
monished by the court not to be so
playful" in the future.

Bar Asked TO Campaign
For Uniform Divorce Laws

An appeal to the American Bar
Association to sponsor a Nation
wide campaign for greater uniform
ity in divorce laws and higher
standards under which the sacred
ness of the marital relationship will
be recognized and safeguarded" was
issued today by the Rev. DR.. Edgar
Schmiedeler. o. S. B., director of
the family life bureau of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Conference,
1912 Massachusetts, avenue NV.
The appeal was described as "the
first official Catholic repercussion to
the United States Supreme Court
decision upholding the validity of
Nevada's widely criticized divorce
laws"
Full relief" DR.. Schmiedelef said,
''is to be found only in complete
uniformity of standards in divorce
laws. To achieve uniformity in
legislation by 48 State Legislatures
is not an impossible undertaking
Machinery for that purpose exists in
the American Bar Association"
