CHAPTER XVII

| prOVAuAmS M8DatSCA stays ag tue Plaza Hotel in Hollywood.
 CHAPTER XVII TT was the third day since I'd left New York. The sun beat down on the dusty road that looked as if it had no end but went on into space And there was dust everywhere. On the once gleaming hood. On the crystal Goddess. And on the wind- shield.
 Who cared2
 I switched on the radio but the reception was so bad I switched it oil again. Was this the third day? The third week? Or the third year? It seemed to me I'd been driving since time began.
 What was Ginger doing nowP gripped the wheel harder. Don't think about her, I told myself Don't think about her!
 How many miles from that next tree to the red brick house way over there. Two? Or three, may be?
 What? Not even one! Who'd have thought a mile was that long?
 Eighteen hundred and twelve miles between Omaha and Los Angeles. I'd looked it up on the map. Eighteen hundred and twelve! That was the name of a Russian composition. Tschaikovsky. It had something to do with the Napeo- leOnic wars and there was the sound of cannon in it.
 Cannon shooting. Guns shooting Boggio. Boggio and Ginger.
 Cut it out, Leol And stop talking to yourself.
 Seventy-five. Eighty. Eighty five. That's rightl Keep up that speed so long as there's no chance of being nabbed by the cops. Keep it up. It's the only way to forget. A HITCH-HIKER standing on the "A edge of the road somewhere be- tween Omaha and North Platte changed the entire course of that trip. He changed 1t, but I never even saw what he looked like. I only caught a glimpse of him as Whizzed by at miles an hour.
 This hitch-hiker appearing on the road at that particular moment made me decide to play the Good Samaritan. I'd give one of them a lift.
 The next one, said to myself. IT CAME upon him some 20 min Il utes later. I saw him from a distance, slowed down and pulled up alongside his trudging figure.
 The minute got a good look at his face decided against it. He looked like the kind of a guy Whod q hit you on the head with a black jack and then cheerfully throw your body in a rayine. It was an embar- rasing moment.
 Where d'you want to goP" I blurted.

 Sorry" I lied. I'm taking the first road to the felt, down there. " Then, before he had time to ans Wer, l got going.
 My second attempt. a few mos ments later, wasn't any more suc- cessful. This new fellow looked so dumb that the thought of hay- ing to make conversation with him was too much for me. After five minutes I'd be the one that might have to dispose of a body.
 Sorry" l said again. I'm go- ing the other way"
 Fifteen more miles registered on the speedometeF. The next one. ! decided. will be 1t. What ever he looks like or whatever he talks like I'll take him.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Bad Breath

For years have suffered from bad breath -- always covering my mouth when near any one because I am conscious of 1t. co. S)
 Answer-Chapter on breath odor in booklet How to Breathe" It gives a recipe for a mouthwash to correct the trouble and advice about various conditions that cause 1t. For copy of booklet send twenty five cents and stamped self ad- dressed envelope. Official CU. s. P.) Solution of Sodium Hypochloride- about teaspoonful in an inch of water In glass, makes an excellent mouthwaSh--if the odor arises from the mouth.
 Canker Sores
 Taking nicotinic acid Cnow call- ed niacin) for recurrent canker sores-50 milligrams three times a day--clears them up promptly, but in my case it seems to act as @ blood circulation stimulant - would 1t be harmful to take 1t once or twice a day for a few months9 CMrs. w. McA.)

F. Reilly came in July, 1881, and was
followed in 1896 by Father Francis
j. Flanagan, who only stayed six
months because of poor health.
Father Maurice King, who had been
appointed assistant at the parish in
1882, was appointed pastor Decem-
ber S, 1887. Ground for a new
auditorium was broken August l.,
1887, and the first mass was held in
it on Easter Sunday, 1888.
The first parish school was held
in the attic of the wooden church
in the 1905 and was taught by Mrs
Mary Stadtler. Later two rooms in
the hall were occupied by the school
with Miss Mary Callaghn as an ad-
ditional teacher. The school was
reduced to one room in 1896 and
closed entirely two years later on
the death of Miss Callaghn. Two
who were active in the history of the
Sunday school were James V. Rider
and Miss Margaret Callaghan, both
superintendents of the school. Lay
teachers taught the classes until
1903 when the Sisters of Providence
came at the request of Father NAL

First resident pastor of the parish
which had been administered to by
the Jesuits OF Holy Trinity Parish
from 1869 to 1880, was Father Eben-
ezer E. Maynadier. He came that
year and was succeeded in 1884 by
Father John Mccall.
The Jesuits again took over the
parish in 1884, and ministered to it
until 1887 At this time Father John
M. Barry, native of Emmitsburg
Md. became the pastor. He was in
strumental in acquiring the prop
erty now owned by the church, ex-
cept for the parochial school
grounds which were recently pur-
chased from the Government.
During Father Barry's service the
frame hall was built in 1890. The
rectory. ground for which had been
given by Miss Annie Green, was
erected a year later. Father Barry
was transferred to Petersville, Nd,
in 1894. He died in 1929.
Father Joseph C. Mallon. a native
OF Mount Savage, Md, became pas
tor in 1894. The present church, the
cornerstone of which was laid in
1902, was erected during his minis
try. The present rectory was built
in 1905. Plans for a new church and
rectory are now waiting permission
to build.
Father Thomas G. Smyth became
pastor in 1910. He was succeeded
by Father Hugh Curley about 1922.

Egan came here. Father Edward

j m e S having William I. Ehis.
been early eliminated as the first
martyr of the band-was trans
formed from the quick tempered,
rash-acting "soh of thunder" into
the chief apostle of love.
He who leaned on Jesus breast
saw closest into His heart. He
lived to write the love letters which
are the three last books of the
Bible, next to the Book Of Revela-
ton which he also wrote. His
gospel has been the school and
counsellor and comfort of Christians
in all ages. John summed up the
gospel in one word, "love";; he illus
trated the meaning of love with
one word, Christ"
There is a well-known legend
concerning Johns last days, after
he had been released from Patmos
He was bishop of Ephesus, of great
age, and feeble in body. 1t was the
usage to carry John in a chair to
the assembly of the Christians
when he blessed the people, and
gave them a message, always on
the topic Of love. It seemed as If
he had become q one-sermon
preacher.
So one day the elders approached
him reverently and asked, Father
have you no other message for us?
Extending his hand in benedic-
tion, the tremulous voice of the
beloved disciple replied. There is
no other message, little children
love one another"

West Virginia CoIIegian Takes Over National
 Basket -Dunking
Bu TED MEIER

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.--DePaul's George Mikan has fallen out of first place in the National Collegiate in- dividual basketball scoring race.
 The weekly Associated Press tab ulation showed today that Bill Hall of Marshall (W. Va) college, has passed the DePaul star, 243 points to 237. It is the first time Mikan has been busted from the top rung since the season started.
 Although he did not show to ad- vantage in recent games against Murray (Ky) Teachers and Tennes- see, Hall has trimmed 1l3 field goals and IT free throws in Is games. Mi kan has dunked 87 doubledeckers and 63 charity throws in II contests.
 Shalmers Embry, of western Ken lucky, jumped into third place at 120 points while Leroy Pasco, of Texas Christian, retained fourth at 2l3 points.

s(14.) Fans were glad to see that wilson had sufficiently recovered from whatever ailed him last week when he connected with the basket only twice during the entire game with Douglas High.
 Signacs Alert
 Signacs, evidently coming to something akin to life after its long siesta which started shortly after the league opened, were an alert and fighting team last night. Passing was good in many instances. Shooting was better than rage-that is, the Signacs aver age, and individual playing in sev- eral cases was good It is rumored that the Signacs are planning practice periods-and the rumor is greeted by the fans with open arms-and in some quarters, open mouths.
 To date the Signacs have not held practice sessions and in sev- eral instances all players on the floor have not even been ac- ouainted with each other. Hi va, Smith" one Signac forward was heard to say to another Signac forward recently, to whom Smith replied; My names not Smith it's Thibodeau."
 Practicing together and dividing the players into definite first and second string material might not make Signacs a top-notch team at this late date, but it would cer- tainly take it off the rock bottom list.
 Signac players last night showed that under proper circumstances (i.e. practicing and better man. agement) they might do lot of in- teresting scoring yet
 A particularly noteworthy Signac player last night was Mcdonnell, scoring seven points and putting through a number of well-placed fast passes. Top scorer was Buoy with 8 points, who also played an unusually good defense game.
 Box scores were.

DOUGLAS FIREMEN PLAY FAST GAME,
 DEFEAT SUPPORT
PAA Shows New Life 10 Beat Signals-Lafter
 Needs PrdCtiCe

Douglas Bremen, with winning score of 39, and Support, with Q final 21 points, met last night in a basketball melee that could have passed for anything from new style football game to the business end of a bowling alley. Scarcely a play was executed with all par ticipants upright on the floor.
 In comparison, the spasmodically eyebrow raising -Signac con- test, with the former winning by a 43 to 31 margin, failed to achieve the interest and spectator enthusi- asm it warranted.
 Douglas Firemen's first and second string players, sparked by Hickey, Brown, McDaniel, Smith and the Cashen twins, composed as strong and dynamic an aggre- gation as any yet seen this year in Channel gymnasiums. The players mentioned are former high school basketball stars and received a hearty ovation from last nights fans.
 Proof that the teams playing can focus into smooth unified basket ball will doubtlessly be seen in future games. Last nights session was too hectic-on the part of both teams-to point up any we'll defined strategy. Indications were, however, that Captain Jensen has selected an exceptionally fine team. AS in it's last game, Douglas Fire men showed no grandstanding ten- dencies. Scoring was adequately handled by the team in general rather than by key players. A good working knowledge of foot work, passing, and general ball. handling particularly was shown by McDaniel, Brown, Jones and the Cashen twins. High scorers were McDaniel with 10 points and Brown with g.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROLLS OUT OF
 ALLEY PICTURE

Major League bowling slid into a major demise at the Elks alleys last evening Approximately 40 per cent of the Major Leaguers were missing and not one of the four teams could flash full roster to toe the mark for the resumption of loop rolling following the two-week holi- day layoff.
 Rollers present last night juggled themselves around into four three man squads and engaged in an in- formal kegling session to commem- crate the acceptedly defunct league.
 As presently planned, a new loop is to sprout from the ashes of the old following the return of the Elks' bowling team from Ketchikan next week. Three, instead of five-man teams, are envisaged for the new looE.
