You've done arerylhlne. Thanks a lot You know how I (eel about Janice. I" Winslow paused and turned to ward him. The expression In his eyes was relied. He parted bis lips to i peak, paused, and said, "You're as comple'e a romanticist as Paula. Forget It. Kent's my bread and but ter (or the next six months until the picture Is done. I'm no altruist. I'm Just " The dapper Mr. Greene bounded down the stairs behind them. A paper fluttered In his band. He looked at Orabame with an expres' slon at bewildered reaped. "Mr. Grahame," be said breath lessly, ".yon. (oreot your contract." "My contract?" asked Grahame, puzzled. He saw that the crumpled bit o( paper was the on that Myberg lad given him. Mechanically he took it In bis bands. 1 Greene said, drawing himself erect Importantly, "You'll be need ing some publicity work dono. If I may recommend my servlcos to you " Wlnalow's long arm reached out. The palm of his band pressed gently. Inexorably against Greene's peori groy chest. Mr. Green, perforce was pushed backward. . "Groeue." said Winslow gently, "you get upstairs with Paula . . . and stay'lhorel" He gave an abrupt shore. Greene stumbled backward, up three or tour stairs. Tbey passed out of (he house and stepped Into Wlnslow's blue road ster at the curb. The wheels spun: they lurched forward. They roared down to Santa Monica Boulerard, thence Into Wilshlro. Swinging right Into San Vlccnto. they flashed by the HsIHs of the Pico crossing. As they ilg zagged into Crenshaw and headed south. Grahame noticed that he still held Myberg's scrap of pa per. He tore It across and held the pieces v the halt-opened window. The wind snatched them. Ho muttered, "What a hell of a time to think of business." Winslow, Intent over the wheel, chuckled dryly, -' "That's a crack at me, I guess. Walt'll you're lived In this town as long as I have. That's a lot of money you're throwing away." Grahame made an Inarticulate noise. "You're hard-boiled, Spin." "Am IT Yes. 1 guess so." for a minute be drove In silence, where upon he said. In a curious tone, "You're no flttb-wheel, Frank. I'm glad you're along. Myberg sensed it. You get things done. I " . Grahame said a little bitterly. "So do you. Spin, when your Job'a at stake." "When my Job's Yes, 1 guess you're right" THE blue roadster slid to a stop before a smail building. Behind It a hangar bulked whltcly against the dark sky. Winslow called to an attendant "Jeff horer "Went home at Ave. Anything I can." The roar of a motor from somo hidden test block drowned the last of his words. "Yeah," said Winslow. Ho heaved himself out from behind the wheel. "Anybody shove out of hero in the last hour or two?" "Ohhuh. Closed Job. Micky took "em. Just about an hour ago." "Micky whor "McGulre. Army kid." "Don't know him. Who'd he take?" "Whooneo party to Callente. Two men and a woman. Tho girl was al most out." Grahame parted his lips: Winslow squeezed his arm. cautioning him. Winslow snapped a light to a cig arette. "Jeff own anything taster?" "Not conditioned , , . there's a D. H. an old crate la hangar one, hut I wouldn't fly ber on a bet I "You wouldn't but e will. Gassed nd oiled?" "YeaX but" "While we're looking her over, get Jeff on the phone. Tell him Spin Winslow and Frank firahame want to lake '.hat crate of tils down to Uoxlco and wreck It."

He said, "JeR say's It's all right But be says don't wreck the ship unless you can kill each other doing It" Winslow chuckled. The attendant said "That prop don't balance right We only been using bcr for short pay hops." "Thanks for the tip, grandma. Climb up, Frank, You want to pee lot?" - Grahame shook his bead. He ad Justed hia 'chute-pnek and got In the forward cock-pit He noticed that the plane was equipped with dual controls. Snapping on the safety belt, ho folded bis arms. The motor roared. Behind blm Winslow yelled. "The airman's day off ... he goes flying" Frank did not smile. He experi enced a flash of envy for Winslow who could Joke In any situation. Once long ago ho waa that way too, Humor was simple to under stand In those days: you laughed because you (elt like It or to keep up your courage. The motor thundered, the plane lurched, Grahame strained against his belt as the wheels left the ground and Winslow arched In a steep, bank out of the Held. San edro bolow and to the right; Long Beach to the left and ahead. Tbey were over the water: the air was loss bumpy. Curious how at night the long line of surf stood out like broken white ribbons floating In an abyss of darkness. " Frank glanced at the illuminated instrument board. Although the plane vibrated excessively the un balanced prop he estimated that llioy were doing considerably bet tor than a hundred: they should bo at Callente held within the hour. Reflectively he stared at the town lights that swung behind them on tho left He reconstructed the events that had culminated with Winslow and him in a plane headed tor the Mexican border. Me calculated the chances tor and against their find lug Janice Kent at the end of their Journey. He discovered that his mind could not definitely arrange and clarify the facts that he knew. They did not make exact sense. An automobile accident had been arranged, he was convinced, by the man Ortega. The fact that be had arrived at the scene of this accident almost simultaneously with lis oc currence doubtlessly had prevented urtcga from bringing bis plan to completion. BUT what was that plan? Janice Kont's subsequent disappearance from her home threw no light eta the matter. Her maid, Paula, had told them that It was because Ortega loved, her mlitrcas, conniving the t pres?n situation wun a romantic objective. Miss Kent, Bho had said, had promised to marry Ortega, her contract would be broken it she married, therefore Ortega bad ac complished an abduction. Frank was assured that the maid believed this, but be was equally suro1 that Ortega although be did not ' know the man would hare taken no such bold steps to accom pllsh his end. it was possible, of course, but rathor Incredible. In the first place. Ortega was re putedly wealthy. Would he. then, take such elaborate, and melodra matic measures to engineer an elopemont which when consum mated would relieve Janice Kent permanently of the nocesslty ot making her own living? Whj (hen. ihould there be any pretense of m.ik Ing It appear that Janice broke her contract with the Consolidated noi of her own free will? Considering his own regard for her. this method of reasoning gave Frank a glow o; satisfaction. It brought him moreover, with equal logic, to the conclusion thai she had been taken against ber will. Hut for what purpose? There could be but three reasons why a girl would be abducted who was beauti ful, rich, and a public personage. A man might love her Insanely; be greedy (or a ransom, or ho could hate her savagely. The last motive seemed remote, and tbo second II logical: tho first as be bad proved to himself was Impractical. These were not medieval days, when ab duetlons were fashionable. Frank muttered Impatiently, li was a merry-go-round of reasoning that brought him nowhere. There was but one fact glaringly Impor tant. Janice must he found. They roared tver a crescent ot light thnt was San Diego, Tla Juana appeared below whereupon the glne's crescendo broke Into a sta catlo ot backtlres and tcmpereJ explosions that told Frank that the were gliding to a landing. fC-JJ"X'. test.

Come what may, every member of the house must face hia constituents nnd open his record for Inspection If he wants to remain a member. One-third of the senators, too. come vp for reelection, and the Roosevelt administration, itself, will learn at the polls In November whether It Is to escape that off-year overturn of tho leglaltitlve balance which hfaa overtaken so many of Its predeces sors. Roosevelt The Issue Mr. Roosevelt and his policies of recovery, by common consent, are be coming the issue, insofar aa there Is any national issue. The Republican organization is, after some hesita tion, against Mr. Roosevelt and his policies; but that la not saying that Individual Democrats and Republi cans will be for those policies or against them. It la not at all Impossible that the real division, down In the con gressional districts, will be a "pro- Roosevelt" and ah "anti-Roosevelt" division rather than anything like a straight contest between Demo crats and Republicans. Unlike Oilier Years It would be hard to recall any other mJtf -ad ministration campaign year which began with the actual physical setup of the opposing or ganizations in such a state of un certainty. For the Democrats, extremely im portant organizational decisions are ahead. What effort la to be made to Include in tho administration cam paign staff those western Republican iiio'uivfuu who bolted to Roosevelt in 1933? What Is to be done, from an organization viewpoint, in states where Roosevelt Republicans-are run ning for reelection to congress? No attempt has been made yet to an swer these questions. The Republicans thus far do not know either what their organization will be, or who will do the organiz ing. An internal dispute of propor tions Is in progress over tho national chairmanship. Does The Past Hold True? In this situation it Is doubtful how much reliance can be placed on the universally accepted laws which In the past have governed political trends. One of these law Is that in the off-year, between presidential elec tions, there la a normal shift of greater or less degree away from the party in power, toward the party out of power. I Another long established tradition says that if this shift is great enough the return a congressional majority hostile to the administration, that administration Is likely; to be defeat- , cd wo years later In the presiden tial campaign. Normally, too, on the basis of past performance, the Roosevelt party may be expected to advertise Itself as the progressive" or 'liberar' party, and 1 tho anti-Roosevelt organization may ) be expected to claim the title of : "conservative." I The normal tendency of the Roose- j teit iiitumgrrs, no vsuiuiisnea in ine preconventlon campaign of 1932 and adhered to since. Is toward political union of west and south, against the east. 4 So far. so good. It would be a bold prognocticator who, at this stage, would go further than to recall these "normalities" for what they may be worth. . TEXAS COLLEGE KOOT11ALL HAS ITS OWN 'K.VMtU.EKS' AMAI1ILLO.

It was said ' by army engineers and by C. I. , Grlram chief civilian engineer, will make possible a notable engineering feat never before undertaken In the United. States. j It has been found possible, UieJ engineers said, to build only one nnv- j Igatlon locB Instead of two originally ' planned. Estimates on the original plans Indicated a cost of $3,500,000, but tho change will reduce this to about e 1,500.000. The presence of the large and deep rock foundation will facilitate con struct ion of the lock which will have a lift of 62 feet, an unusual height for one of its length and breadth. It will be the highest ever constructed by the army engineers. To make such a lift possible, the lower gates will be 89 feet high, the equivalent of an average nine-story building. As recently approved by the chief of engineers at Washington." D. C. tho lock will be 76 feet wide and will have aa inside clearance length of 360 feet.

One thing sure he'd silently wonder how you could have seem ed so lovely then in an outfit that looks so oldfash ioned now. We wonder if your husband realizes there has been as much change in furnture as in. wedding dresses? (Remember what you told him the other day, "Most of the furniture in this house was bought right after we were married.") There is no better time than now to greet him in that wedding dress and then show him the furni ture advertisements, in the newspaper! Today you can read about and see pre-vieys of the furniture shows that will be held next month,, so. close at hand. And it will probably surprise you to learn he is as in terested as you are. Men don't like to go through the stores to shop. But it's quite easy to get them to read over the advertisements in the quiet of your home. Wouldn't today be a good time to get him to say "yes" about that new furniture you've been wanting? "all that can be said with reasonable certainty Is that she wlU wait untU world affairs are In such a state that the success of her efforts seem reasonably assured. A general war In Europe, for example, would offer her an unsurpassed opportunity to extend ber sway In the western Pa cific by seizing some of the Dutch and British colonies. . . "There Is a feeling In Italy and Germany that they are entitled to a larger share of the world's re sources. . . . Certainly Oermony and Japan have showu thaq they are willing to take a chance at the en hancement of their economic, welfare Issuing from war and there Is no reason to believe that other strong peoples wlll not feel the, same way."
