within a fraction of his best time
made this year at Toledo. The fi
nal heat event went over to Fri
day. Tbe first two heats of the 2:08
trot, the t Southern hotel stake,
were completed. The Toddler was
the original favorite and justified
hia backing by winning the first
heat In 2:04 1-4. Greyworthy
broke at the three-quarter pole
and Great Britton, having gotten
away badly at the wire, was laid
up. In the second heat Great
Britton went to the front at the
three-quarter pole where Grev
worthy broke and had to relin
quish the lead. Greyworthy just
got inside the flag after having
trotted to the half in 1:01 1-2.
Great Britton won this heat In
2: $4 1-2 and became favorite to
win the race.

PARLEY DATE
IS IN DOUBT
Informal Negotiations Over
Time for Disarmament
Conference Start
PRELIMINARY UNLIKELY
Comment Withheld Relative
To British Proposal
For Separate Meet
WASHINGTON. July 28. In-frt-mal
negotiations over the date
for the disarmament conference
were begun today wltn the Am
erican government suggesting se
lection of a time not later than
Armistice day, November 11.
Deiinite replies are to be re
ceived, but unofficial information
seems to indicate that some of
the other powers will prefer a
later date and that several diplo
matic exchanges may be neces-f-cry
before a unanimous agree
ment is reached.
Chance Given All.
The question of a meeting time
was discussed by Secretary of
State Hughes today with the
British and Japanese ambassa
dors and the Italian charge here.
China and France are to be con
sulted in the near future, though
it is emphasized that there will
be no disposition to press for a
decision until each party to the
conference can study the situa
tion.' The British ambassador. Sir
Auckland Geddes, is understood
to have suggested that a date
later than November 11 be se
lected unless a preliminary con
lerence is to be held at which the
dominion premiers can be pres
ent Such a preliminary meeting
will be possible, in the view of
the British government late this
summer when the premiers, now
in Londpn, are on their way
home.
Preliminary Not Favored.
No formal comment was avail
able from American officials re
garding such a proposal or con
cerning the statement emanating
from official circles in London
today that a preliminary meeting
would be held within six weeks
in Canada or in some American
city other than Washington.
The general t Impression here
was that this government hoped
confidently to overcome the Brit
ish objection .without a separate
conference.
Japan Feels DlKadvantacre.
Japan is said to feel at a disad
vantage because of the time that
would be' required for her dele
pates to reach Washington, but
officials here believe she will
consent to the November date if
the other powers find it agree
able. Among all the participating
nations there is an appreciation
of the psychological advantage of
avoiding undue delay and it is ex
pected that factor will be a con
spicuous one In the final decis
ion. DALLAS PKItSOXALS

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
CHAPTER 12S
WHAT DICKY AND MADGE DID
FOR ALICE HOLCOMBE.
From the moment that Dicky !
entered our kitchen he gave AI-j
ice llolcombe no single moment j
of time for retrospection over the!
horror which had sent her !iv- j
ing to rat-,' ;
Knowing nothing of the roal!
tragedy underlying my simp:"?
statement that.Mlss. Holcombe
was much upset over the sudden
death -of her old friend, Mrs.
Stockbridge he evidently assumed
that her shock and grief were not
of s-o grave a nature as to call 'ur
a reverential attitude, on his part,
and therefore get no limit to his J
mood. j
When Dicky is in such a mood :
there is no resisting him. One !
mut perforce follow him in his
whimsical aerial soarings or fit
mentally twiddling one's fingois.
waiting for his return to earth
and sanity.
As for myself. I was glad in
deed to follow whsrever his mood
might lead. The events eulmtuat
ing in the death of Milly Stock
bridge had pHed upon me In such
pell mell fashion as to leave me
numbed mentally.
I knew that there was a dist'p.ct
menace to my peace of mind it
the revelations which might tol
low the probable inquiry into the
cause of Milly Stockbridge's
death. But I had not yet had
time to comprehend the real mag
nitude of the trouble which might
come to me and I was thank'ul
for Dicky's nonsense, which gave
me a necessary respite from both
retrospection and introspection.
"Culinary Superiority."
And when several times during
our stav in the kitchen I caught
an involuntary smile cross Alice
Holcombe's pale face at the ludi
crous picture Dicky presented in
one of Katie's bungalow aprons
which he had insisted upon put
ting on, to which the incidental
ripping of yearns and bursting of
buttons; I appreciated still more
my husband's volatile spirits.
4Now will you admit a man's
culinary superiority. Miss llol
combe?" he demanded, when at
last after much spectatcular snow
of cooking stunts upon his part
he seated Alice and me c.t the din
ner table and proceeded to serve
the queerly concocted viands he
had prepared.
"Not a man's," Mis3 Holcorrhe
rejoined promplly, but perhaps
wUer 1 have tasted these things 1
shall be ready to acknowledge "
' "The man's," I interrupted v.itb
a smile at D'cky.
He rose, his hand on his heart,
made me a flairfboyant bow, but
In his dancing eyes I rad his in--nt
satisfying comprehension of
the real sentiment that lay be
neath my little quip.
"You overwhelm me with hon
or, milady. "I shall reward you
ft
He bent his had and kissed
me lightly, laughingly, as if Ftili
carrying on the Jest. But I,
thrilling to the touch of his lips
upon my cheeyk. knew that he was
not jesting, and glanced involun
tarily, consciously, at Alice llol
combe, surprising in my turn a
look unon her face which T Knew

she would sot .have consciously
betrayed for worlds.
Alice Holcombe's Eyes.
For it wi.s a gaxe of hopeI???.
longing envy, not ot my husband,
but ot my Tiapplness. a look "uch
as I have se?n in the eyes of pov
erty-stricken children gazing
through lighted shop windows at
the Christmas toys. I turned my I
eyes hastily away lest that she
should guess that I had s en. tried
to voice some laughing jest, found
that a queer choking in my throat
prevented words for a moment or
two.
And then, all at once there
came to me the astounding reali
zation that Kenneth Stockbridge
was fre at last, and that perhaps
I flushed guiltily at my owu
thought as disrespectful to the
dead happints was yet U 1 the
portion of the man who had suf
fered so long and, ot the fad,
white-faced woman across the ta
ble. "Alice, ny thorny rose!" Ken
neth Stockbridge had written
across her picture when he
thought no eyes but his own
would ever see the words. Was it
possible that he might in the fu
ture gather that rose for his
own?
Dicky surprised me by voicing
a thought upon a similar line la
ter in the evening while we were
returning home from Bayvew,
where he had taken Miss Hol
sombe. During the r'ide sh" had
volunteered several statements
concerning the tragedy .with a
curious air of not being able to
avo'd the subject.
"How long has your frind
known your interesting princi
pal?" he drawled.
"All her life."
"Ever strike you she envied the
late unlamented?"
"Oh, Dicky, don't speak so
atrociously!" protested, feeling
a hypocrite as I did so lecause of
my own thought3.
"Rot!" Dicky rejoined vigor
ously. "I remember telling you
long ago that if I wer Stock
bridge Well, whether he's
done it or not doesn't alter the
Tact that she's dead, and nobody
ought to care a darn, least of all
your red-headed friend.
"Come to think of it, I saw him
casting a sheep's eye or two in
her direction when I was out
there. Perhaps the poor devtl
will draw a lucky card yet."

Service Men Buying Homes
Under New State Loan

West Salem Is booming almost
like a bonanza gold or oil camp,
this summer. A full dozen new

the past two or three weeks, and
others are under contract for
early construction. They're build

they have the look of homes that
