Anne Haywood pulled her beaver
coat closer around her and leaned
against the rail, the icy flakes of
snow sharp against her cheeks. She
was coming home. In a few mo-
ments she'd be in New York again.
Her father and mother would be at
the dock to meet her.
She took a deep breath and wiped
the snow off her long dark lashes.
It was wonderful It was wonderful
to be cold again, and smell the
smoke, and hear the low below Of
fog horns and the sharp high toot Of
the tugboats going busily back and

chilling her bones had done some

life was about. And there wasn't
any pain now. She laughed sudden
ly. It was marvellous to be alive
and to be home again.
"I'd better write to Pete, guess"
she thought irrelevantly.
The ship nosed into the dock. The
sailors let down the ropes and
slipped the gangplank into place.
Anne ran across to the long ramp,
looking for her father and mother in
the crowd Of people waving and
laughing. Suddenly she saw them.
"Angels!" she cried. "Oh gosh,
it's swell to see you'll"
Her mothers mink coat was cool
and sweet against her face, and her
fathers chin was rough and slightly
stubbly, as it always was by the
end of the day.

He grinned.
"I've been transferred to Wash

the front-line trenches"
He looked at her intently for mo-
ment. Then he grinned again, took
her arm and elbowed her through
the crowd to the car waiting for
them in the wintry street.
Outside Anne's home the snow
swirled through the naked branches
of the trees and pelted icily against
the window panes. Anne stood
watching it for a moment. Then
she drew the heavy damask cur
tains together, holding them tightly
an instant before she turned and
came blindly over to the sofa in
front of the blazing log fire. Pete
stood there watching her, the long
ash of his cigarette growing un-
noticed between his fingers. Her IA
Their and mother had gone upstairs.
Anne stood staring down at the leap
ing, cracking flames.
Suddenly Pete jerked his cigarette
into the fire and took a quick stride
toward her. He stood for moment
looking down at the bright bent
golden head. Then he raised his
hands and gripped her arms.
"Anne," he said. "Look at me,
Anne"
She shook her head. Everything
inside her had dissolved into liquid
agonizing fire at the strong sure
touch of his hands, and the new de-
termined iron in his voice.

hard and tight against him, his lips
hot against her hair. Then he raised
her head and kissed her lips. She

The tears sprang clear from her

She moved away little, still hold

around her slowly. Then she looked
back at him.
"Don Aware was right" she said
softly. "This is, where I belong"

Navy Holds Officer
Saved From Ledqe

A 38-year- old Navy lieutenant who
was pulled from the 18th floor ledge
of the Shoreham Building by police
last night, was in custody of naval
officials today.
According to police. 1t. q. gD
James H. Lyon of 402 Garland ave-
nue., Takoma Park. Md, imbibed too
much with civilian friend and
decided on high-altitude acrobatics.
A police radio call sent squad cars,
fire trucks and rescue squads to the
H street building on the report a
man was threatening to Jump from
the 18th floor.
1t was early evening and the
crowd that gathered forced police
to rope off the street. Life nets were
stretched and then the police
assembled in the elevators. One of
them, Patrolman Walter Bowman,
reached through a window and
pulled Lyon back inside.
The rest was unexciting. Lyon
was turned over to the shore patrol.
His civilian friend, Frederick Ault
Niethamer of Vienna, Va, was
booked at the third precinct on a
drunkenness charge. He spent the
night there and forfeited $40 COL

Randolph Urges New
Hospital in Southeast

A new hospital for Southeast
Washington has been proposed by
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee after confer
ences with officials of Providence
Hospital, reported to be over
crowded.
Representative Randolph wrote
letters to Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III,

Park and Planning Commission. and
John Ihlder. executive officer of the
National Capital Housing Authority
urging immediate consideration of
the problem.
Providence has so patients more
than its maximum capacity, Mr.
Randolph said.
1T might be advisable to seek a
new site which would be removed
from the congested area now served
so splendidly by Providence" he
wrote. Il hope your suggestions can
be ready within two or three weeks
so that I may place the material
before the House District Commit
tee."
Previous attempts of hospital OH

failed when bill introduced in the

a story in The Star that police were

for Dicky to identify the puppy.

In Charter Campaign
Permitted in Ru|jno
Movement Does Not Come
In Scope Of Hatch Act,
. Civil Service Holds

Federal employees may take part In
the campaign for adoption of the
charter in Montgomery County this
fall without violating provisions of
the Hatch Act. under a Civil Service
Commission ruling, the Charter
Committee announced today. The
vote will be taken in the November
elections.
Mrs. John H. Werner, executive
director of the Charter Committee,
said she had received letter. from
Harry B. Mitchell, chairman of the
commission, stating that the char
ter movement clearly falls within
the scope of one of the specific ex-
ceptions to the general restriction
prohibiting Federal officers and en-
ployes from active participation in
political campaigns
The commission issued a ruling in
1912 permitting Federal employees to
take an active part in the campaign
Tor election of the Charter Board.
Now it has extended that permission
to include the campaign for the ap-
proval of the charter itself.
The effect of the commissions
ruling will be to emphasize the nom
partisan character of the charter
movement, Mrs. Werner said. Under
the Hatch Act, Federal employees are
forbidden to take active part in
campaigns OF candidates seeking Of
flee, but are free to participate in
civic activities of a non partisan
character.
The charter movement falls with
in that category because it is spon-
sored by men and women of both
political parties and has only the
objective of undermining Montgom-
cry County's governmental system,
she added.

BALTIMORE, July 28-Baltimore
g. Ohio Railroad officials yesterday
gave visiting newsmen and Govern
ment officials convincing demon
stration of how high-frequency radio
can speed the operation of freight
trains within the limited radius of
a railroad terminal.
The demonstration marked the
first time that radio operating at
frequencies above so megacycles
was used IN yard control opera
tions in the East. Railroad off,
cials hailed the two-way radio COM
munication between trains and dis
patchers as eventually expediting
the daily movement Of thousands
of freight cars in local yards.
Will Cut Accidents.
And one day, when it is in univer-
sal use and scientists have found how
to employ ultrahigh frequencies at
longer range, train accidents will
be cut sharply. Radio communi-
cation might have averted the dis
astrous wreck on the Atlantic Coast
Line in North Carolina last winter,
when 73 persons were killed.
There are still many hurdles to
overcome, however AS Roy B. White,
president of the B. & O., put It,,
There is no worse place in the world
to set up radios than on the standard
passenger railroad Car with its all
steel body, with high-tension wires
bordering the tracks and other in
