CHAPTER NINE
AS of them became silent again
while the nervous clicking of the
watch bespoke- the seconds' bring
ing the screen play to Its deafening
holocaust of roaring battle. Four
thousand persons most of them in
evening clothes sat in plush seats
and experienced the carbon-copy
emotions of real warfare.
Behind the ramparts of maddy
trenches a division of French in
fantry watched the dawn in Flan
ders. A heavy mist billowed before
the eye, filling folda and hollows
of mysterious landscape. Vaguely
the twin spires of the cathedral in
the distance began to take form.
The men in battle-stained uni
forms clutched their rifles and
peered into the gray fog as they
awaited the zero hour of death. Be
hind their backs handsome officers
in natty sniforms walked up and
down and glanced nervously at
strap watches. It was the hush be
fore the storm.
The figure of a poOa crept out
of a dug-out a strangely fragile
and delicate form to be engaged in
the gran business of war. For
moment the audience thinks it is a
boy of ten or twelve, but the audi
ence is wrong. The camera angle is
shifted and it is seen that Leni
Luneska has reached the front.
She haa deceived the entire AI-
stuff is not handled, is left for hours on the docks, or is pth-,
markable, even incredible yet it un
folds before the eye and is gladly
Believed.
Leni haa coma to die with her
sweetheart. He is the soldier of the
handsome profile and his uniform
is the best fit in the regiment.
A minor miracle happens. It de
velops that the commander is the
scoundrel who made her life very
miserable in the peaceful days be
fore the war. Her gorgeous beauty
does not deceive him into believing
she is a poilu. His eyes light upon
her and immediately he knows that
she is not one of his men. He rec
ognizes her. The zero hour is for
gotten as his Gallic blood becomes
molten with passion. War is war
and brooks o time for petty for
malities between man and woman.
Before she can scream to her sweet
heart she Is in the officer's grasp
Response to Recovery
TWTTING men to work is assuredly the means of restor.

methods now being called into use may be, the objective is
universally recognized as valid. It was in fact the purpose of
many of the efforts of the last administration. Pres. Hoover
when the depression broke called in industrialists and secured
pledges from them not to reduce wages, and to launch new
construction works in the effort to sustain employment
Hoover failed because the tide was running out. Now the
business cycle has reversed itself; and there is abundant
promise that Mr. Roosevelt will succeed, because the tide is
running in.
Employment must be built up against the seasonal let
down of winter months. Given proper balance the machine
ry of production of goods should run"" without periodic
swings; but the human factors are so far beyond control that
these swings will doubtless continue. Now there must be a
surge of effort to restore employment at decent wages.
When the government launches a recovery program the
individual business perforce must comply, because of the
pressures! which attend anything with governmental sanc
tion, aside from any legal penalties. Whether concerns com
ply with the industrial code or not, they should reexamine
their business lineup, their wage scales, their selling prices,
their profit margins. Certainly every patriotic concern will
seek to do its part honestly and conscientiously in response
to the appeal of our president, particularly when the purposes
are as laudable as in the present instance.
Federal Police
fUHE governors' conference violated its own rule and ad-
JL opted a resolution asking for legislation creating a fed
eral police. Oregon's experience with the state police is so
pleasing that this state would promptly second the motion,
especially if Charles Pray or a man of his type were made
to head the system.
We will solve the crime problem when we go at it right
and are as swift and as certain in our apprehension of the
criminal and giving him prompt punishment as they are in
England for example. Crime is national in scope: it is mo
torized, professionalized. In some fields like the rackets it
has been hicrhly organized. Fruits and vegetables and poul
try passing into New York for example, are reported to pay
a toll which is nothing less than tribute. If it is not paia tne
erwise' made worthless. Local authorities seem powerless,
especially if a hook-up has been made with some group like
truckmen which may give some color of legality to the
racket-
THe federal government does a pretty good job when it
really -goes after men. Counterfeiters, mail robbers, smug
glers, dope peddlers have a hard time of it. In the case of
big jobs, the government is relentless until it gets its man.
There would appear to be a field for federal police coop
erating with efficient state police departments mch as Ore
gon now has.
Thumbs Down
HAVING frequently in times past given a lift to chaps who
wiggled their thumbs in the direction we were driving,
we have come to wonder why it is that people should be im
posed upon that way. The facilities for transport are abun
dant the! rates are very reasonable. If people cannot dig up
the fare wouldn't they be quite as well off to remain where

and on tho way to a convenient
dug-out.
Leni is rescued at' the crucial
moment by General yon Hinde
burg who liberates upon fch Fren&
army the concentrated fury of ten
thousand tons of shrapnel and
dynamite.
Vast geysers of dust spring ap
and settle slowly to earth. It is an
inferno of mighty concussion fling
ing debris through the smoke-laden
universe. Roar after roar shakes
the heavens, shot through with the
shrill scream of flying shells. The
walls of the theater tremble. Con
versation is impossible. It is worse
than a boiler factory. It lasts for
three entire minutes. It is epic. The
picture proceeded.
In her box, Leni watched and
listened. The battle roar was dying
down and the audience, carried
away by emotion was contributing
machine-gun rattle of applause.
This was success. They liked it.
Motion pictures are valuable be
cause they carry people out of
themselves high above the actuali
ties of life. In some way, not quite
clear to her, she knew that tonight
she had helped four thousand peo
ple to escape the eras realities of
their own tiresome existence.
Tho beginning of success and Its
end. In the midst of it aha sud
denly felt cold and drew her cloak
tightly around her shoulders. To
night would never come again.
Her lips were dry as dust. To
morrow her name would bo soiled
with scandal and next week the
newspaper would bo printing
laudatory photographs of some
other new star. This was Hollr-
rwoedand Leni Luneska was through
with it.
But none of this affected the bur
glary upstairs where a steady hand
lit a fuse that ran to a business
like charge of nitro-glycerine. The
three men dressed as ushers flat
tened themselves out of danger
against a wau and waited for the
explosion. When it cam it was like
a muffled cough of a giant, lost in
tho cyclone of noise that rocked
the theater. The whole front of
the safi fell forward and struck
tho floor.
Immediately tho men war fran
tically busy prying open the tin
cash boxes.
So completely had the bombard
ment oa tho screen disguised the
explosion of tho safe that even
Karl Kruger and Lhcky.Cavinaugh,
separated tftrbm 6m bbrglsW by a
single wall, -had not heard tho safe
blowing. This failure on their part,
however, miht have been attri
buted to the fact that they were
suspended together in that preg
nant instant where human life
trembles in tho cosmic balance.
Earl Eruger had a Dhilosoohv
but, neurotically, was unable to
sustain it against the whit fire of
his blinding emotions. He raised
the revolver In his clutching hand
to the level of Lucky Cavanaugh's
breast. Neither man breathed.
The difference between them lay
in the fact that Lucky Cavanaugh
was able to think clearly. Without
undue haste, he put a hand behind
him. His fingers touched the light
switch on the wall and the next in
stant the room was in darkness. In
tho same moment of silent sus
pense, he stepped soft-footedly to
one side.
"Where are you?" cried Eruger
in a voice so loud and angry that
it filled the room with hatred.
The weapon in his hand belched
fire and noise. When it had roared
six times, Lucky Cavanaugh touched
the switch and the room was light
again.
Erugera faea had the look of
green mud. The revolver dropped
from his hand as a hoarse'ery
sprang from his throat. Everything
before him was a blurred has.
"Let me out of here!" he scream
ed. Before Cavanaugh eould lay
hands oa him, the man made a
dart, whirled and snatched open the
door leading Into tho room where
three men dressed as ushers wer
stuffing currency into canvas bags.
On of them made a swift move
ment with his right hand a hand
that knew how to handle an auto
matic. A vicious red tongue leaped
from tii barrel of the weapon and
pointed straight at the breast of
Earl Eruger. With a slow, painful
movement, Eruger rose to his toes,
twisted, and fell backward dead?
