Around the general store in the
hamlet Of Bunkie. down in the
'Cajun country OF Louisiana, the
boys are grabbing the racing
news eXclaiming excitedly over
the accomplishments of one of
the native sons, little Patterson
Milligan.
But the cheers are loudest at
the Detroit race . track, where
lO0-pound Pat Milligan has come
back TO the riding eminence he
enjoyed four years ago. In those
days Milligan rode for trainer Joe
Baumbach. He was called Daily
Double Mllligan because he
scored so often in the first two
races, then came horsebacking
home with another winner or two.
Another Jockeys loss has been
the 23-year-old Milligan's gain in
his recent ride 10 fortune. With
jockey Johnny Adams, the coun-
trys leading rider, out of the way
until Friday with a Today suS-

LOVE
BY ADELE GARRISON

BY ADELE GARRISON
'WHAT DO you mean by to-
night, of all nights, Noel!" Mary
inquired sweetly. whats 90
special about tonight"
Noel stared at her in aStonish-
ment.
Have you forgotten" he said.
"that my father and step
mother are giving an after-the-
alter supper party for Georges,
and that we are TO be guestsr
DO you think i want Georges TO
see you In n rig like that? You
always outshine everybody,
everywhere, and tonight you
look positively dowdy."
"Ouch" Mary said with
light laugh.
IT mean IT," Noel retorted.
Georges will think that's what
marrying me has done TO YOU"
AS HIS PROPERTY
My fingers itched to slap him.
But IL was clear that ne re-
garded Mary as his property and
wished to display her as he would
a flower. or anything else he
owned.
Don't you see my viewpoint,
Aunt Madge ?" he asked.
"Pm afraid 1 don't, Noel" I
answered. ITO my eyes, that's q
most becoming gown and ex-
tremely modish. Has Noel seen
IL before ?" ! asked Mary. with
a guileless air.
"Why, no, he hasn't" she said.
IL bought IL quite . while ago
but j never have worn IL, 90 j
thought I'd spring IL on 'em to-
night. And I thought Noel would
love IL. But It's too late 10
change IL now, for we must hy
to get TO the theater - IL Is"
ALL THE SAME WAY
"Ths trouble probably is,r I
said, "that Noel has fsvorites
among your gowns and anything
different affects him adversely.
All husbands are the same way"
please take a woman's YER
dict, Noel" / said. THAT gown
IL beautiful and becoming, and
everybody will admire Mary In
IT,"
Standing behind him, Mary
formed her lips into a round 20,
and I could hardly keep my face
straight.
"You are probably right" Noel
said, "but 1 still can't sec II,
and I don't like the gown. But I
suppose 10 10 too late 10 change"
"And you'll be late for the
theater unless I hurry away" !
said airily. $50 goodnight my
darlings. Georges and will
meet you at your fathers apart
ment about midnight"
LEFT ABRUPTLY
I left them abruptly, and at my
own apartment found my father
talking again TO Adams.
II want you TO get Hender-
son, tho taxi man, for me-" he
was saying. "Milner thinks he's
his man and will report 10 him
any movement Of mine, 80 he
won't have me trailed. Have
Henderson ut the door In half
an hour.
"Now I am going over TO see
Philip Veritzen for n few min
utes, and while I am gone do
not admit anyone, Katharine.
Open the door only the length
OF the night chain, and tell
anyone calling that Margaret IL
lying down and cannot be dis
turbed."
"rIl do that" Katharine said.
and when he was gone she and /
looked at each other in be-
wildernent.
AM i MISTAKENT
"Am I mistaken" she asked,
or did you say something about
some federal officer who was TO
call your father at 3 o'clock, q
call meant purposely for Mil
ner's esvesdropping?"
/ struck my hands together In
annoyed remembrance.
Eyes, I did tell you that I
said. II hope Father will be
back In time, for have no
idea of what he might want me
to say to the federal man for
Miners benefit"

North RandIe Citizens
Ask CLOSING Of PortabIes

Immediate closing of the two port
able school buildings adjoining the
Kimball School at Minnesota avenue
and Ely place Sc. was urged last
night by the North Randle Citizens
Associa ton.
The report of an investigating
committee composed of parents,
teachers and members of the associ-
alton. which declared the buildings
unfit for use because of poor ven-
tilation, heat and lighting systems" +"
resulted in the action.
A plan for sending the pupils to
the Kimball School could be devel-
oped, it was said Overcrowded
conditions then would necessitate a
permanent addition to the Kimban
building, E. L. Merzereau, president,
said, reminding that the school when
completed a year ago was about half
the proposed size.
Opposition to a low-cost housing
development in the area also was
voiced by the group. which Endorsed
the petition of the Southeast Coun-
Gil on Tuesday asking immediate
congressional investigation of all

Brewster May Keep
Navy Plane. Contract;
Report Is Studied

A tentative report, believed to rec
ommend continuation Of Navy con-
tracts at the Brewster Aeronautical
Corp. now under the presidency of
Henry j. Kaiser, was being consid-
cred today by the House Naval AZ
fairs subcommittee, which has in
vestigated Brewster affairs.
The report was prepared on the
theory, it was understood, that it
would be better for the Navy to con-
tinue receiving some planes from
Brewster than to amandon the con-
tracts and stop production. Under
Kaiser management, the investiga-
tors have been told. some improve
ments In production have been
made
Meanwhile, the District grand jury
was understood to be continuing its
investigation of certain aspects of
the testimony presented to the sub
committee. Two matters were
turned over to the Justice Depart
ment by the House group. One dealt
with $4,000 lobbying fund raised
by three aircraft companies, includ-
ing Brewster, in 1910, to be used in
obtaining an amendment to the tax
law written that year.
1t was testified before the COM
mittee that $4,000 of this amount
went to Frank J. Comfort, Demo-
cratic committeeman from Iowa.
