Rumble Once More

+ GLEN, N. Y. W.D-
The legendary death drums Of
the Iroquois Nation" are being
heard again along the shores Of
Lake Seneca, but skeptics attri-
butte the sound to natural gas.
According to Indian lore, the
''drums'' will be heard as long
as there is a Red Man alive.
They are heard usually at the
approach of a storm.
Scientists believe the rumbling
sounds are caused by the see

sures under the lake. But among
romantice, the drums are la
ments from dead 1roquois over
their Revolutionary War defeat
by Gen. John Sullivan.

~ members of the AngkateI
ian; kindly Henrietta Savernake,
s,ccessful sculptress; serious
minded young David Angkatell,

VIM to the charms Of Nudge, who
s,d adored him since childhood.
Msanwhile, in her London studio,
uenrietta was in ethe throes Of

the blind Nausicaa. The search
,or lust the right model had been
,one and arduous and, although
%a features Of TIE girl she had
snaIly chosen were perfect, t h e
sordidness of her character had
.onehow managed to creep into
u~onrietta's finished work. Not

"You must know so often what

Come now, he mustn't start
thinking Of Henrietta. He'd be
seeing her this very afternoon.
The thing to do now was to get
,,cn with things! Ring the bell and
see this last darned woman. An

hypochrondria! Well, why
shouldn't she enjoy i'll health if

But still he sat there motion
less.
He was tired-he was so very
tired. 1t seemed to him that he
had ben tired for a very long
time. There was something he
wanted-wanted badly.
And there shot into his mind
the thought: l want to 60 home.
It astonished him. Where had
that thought come from? And
what did it mean? Home? He had
never had a home. His parents
lhad been Anglo-Indians, he had
ben brought up, banded about
from aunt to uncle, n set OF
holidays with each. The first per-
manent home he had had, he sup
posed, was this house in Harley

DC. and Guard Heads
Study Loss Of Revenue
Due 10 ArmoryDispute

The Commissioners and District
National Guard heads today con-
sidered claims by the Washington
Board of Trade that their bicker-
ing over control of the armory is
costing the city between $4,000, 900
and $10,000,000 worth of business a
year.
That amount of business should
come to the District every year
through use of the armory as a
convention and exhibition hall, the
board said in an editorial in the
November issue of its publication,
the Board OF Trade News.
While the present controversy
RACES, the editorial said, representa-
tives of organizations that want to
use the armory's drill hall don't
know who to bargain with. 1t added
Nobody knows who can authorize
the use of the armory. Nobody
knows who can establish the rental
charge. Nobody knows who can de-
termine how it may be used. We
don't even know how many people
may be admitted. Silly-isn't 1t?'
Inquiries Cited.
John A. Reilly, president OF the
board, said the Greater National
Capital Committee has been con-
tacted by groups who want to meet
here. But no one is going to sched-
ule a national meeting or bring
thousands of exhibits into Washing
ton when he doesn't even know
whom to deal with"
The official urged the city heads
and Brig Gen Albert L. Cox, COM
mander of the Guard, to compose
their differences Immediately, The
question of permanent control, he
said, can be determined later,
MIR. Reilly said he did not know
how Gen. Cox's proposal for an in
term management group would
work out. The proposal would put
nonmilitary operation of the armory
under joint control of representa-
tives of the Guard, the Commission
ers and the Board of Trade.
Settlement Urged. 4
CAN I can say" he added, sis that
I'd hate to be the Board of Trade
representative. The real solution is
for the Commissioners and Gen. Cox
to get together now and settle their
differences"
The editorial said that in Wash
ington. more than in any other city,
there has been a real need for a
large indoor arena in which civic
gatherings could be held"
In addition to furnishing employ
ment income and additional tax
revenues for the city, civic use of
the Armory should go a long way
toward relieving local taxpayers
of the burden of operation and
maintenance costs totaling some
$25O,OOO yearly" it added
Right now" it declared, local
taxpayers are worse off than they
were before the Armory was built,
Some interim agreement should
be made at once by the Commits
sioners and the National Guard
which will permit the use of the
Armory while the suit to establish
jurisdiction runs its course in the
courts
