Again Rejects Peace
As expected, the Italian
holds most of the ministries, has rejected the League of Na
tions' plan for peace in the following official communique:
The cabinet took note of the proposals of the committee of five and
considered them carefully. The cabinet, although it appreciates the at
tempt of the committee of five, came to the conclusion that the proposals
are unacceptable Inasmuch as they
ward a conclusive materialization which would finally and definitely take
'into account Italy's vital rights and
again Tuesday to examine the development of the political situation and
- finish examination of questions of an
in its agenda.
The door is apparently left open for re-examination be
cause of the massing of the British war fleet in the Mediter
ranean, evidently not for bluffing purposes, but to enforce
sanctions, which Mussolini declares mean war and a world
war.
The reason why Great Britain is taking the firm stand
she is, is not only for preservation of the League of Nations,
but because it is realized that Italian aggression in Ethiopia
is but the beginning of II Duce's grandiose scheme for con
quest. Not that Ethiopia is worth fighting for, but that it
means the upsetting of the map of Africa as at present par
titioned, and endangers not only British control and invest
ments, but those of France,
Hence in the final showdown,
against Italy. 1
Successful in Africa, Mussolini will turn to Europe and
menace Austria and the Balkans, in all probability bo joined
by Germany, demanding her lost African colonies back and
also seeking "a place in the sun." So a European war seems
the inevitable outcome, and
chances better now than when
victory over Ethiopia.
A Pig in
The results of a survey made simultaneously in seven
metropolitan cities through cooperation of the leading news
papers of Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Louis,
New Orleans and New York of radio advertising, tabulated
by Media Records, Inc., is published in the current issue of
the Editor and Publisher.
It was made to ascertain just what an advertiser buys
when he buys radio and what the radio sells when it sells
radio advertising in other words what circulation the ad-
, vertiser secures from the radio.
The survey revealed that the audience of a radio adver
tiser is developed by the advertiser and not by the radio sta
tion and that the program offered at the advertiser's ex
pense determine the reception. In other words the advertiser
develops his own circulation and buys only the opportunity,
to develop it and that in competition with other radio adver
tisers. In brief the survey disclosed :
In a given number of people, there are more who do not listen to
radio during a given hour than there are who do listen in.
Of those who do listen in a negligible number are left for indepen
dent stations, after the national chains have gobbled up their share of
the total number of listeners. - -
Multiplying the number of broadcast stations will further subdivide
rather than multiply the total number of listeners.
Radio circulation is developed by the advertiser and is not delivered
by the seller of radio time. .
The development of circulation depends entirely upon the worth of
-the program.
The worth of any one program depends upon the strength or weak
. ness of competing programs.
It was also shown that the majority of listeners regard
ed both the station and the program as the chief identifying
feature, while the sponsor identification was only about a
third of the others. In other words radio circulation is an
intangible and the advertiser buys a pig in the poke.
Guide to FHA Loans
The Federal Housing administration has published a
pamphlet guide on what kinds of modernization loans it will
insure, on the eligibility or non-eligibility of equipment and
machinery for modernization credit. The list is not com
plete but the general principles are laid down for the borrow
er to interpret.
Class A includes home or business establishments be
yond the single-family dwelling and on which the loan limits
of $2,000 to ?50,000 apply, lists classifications of eligibility
from abattoir presses to wool-washing machinery, addresso
graph machines to non-portable wheel aligners, acetylene
generators to X-ray equipment.
Class B, the single-family home, lists eligible equipment
as that related to the home in a manner that will make a
complete operating unit out of the establishment. Under this
rule, air conditioning and awnings are satisfactory, ironing
boards, built-in breakfast nooks, healing and plumbing sys
tems and equipment, weather-stripping, washing, ironing
and dishwashing machines, and any kind of ice box tlr me
chanical refrigerator. Musical instruments, furniture, perco-
1 lators, etc., are ineligible.

Chapter 49
LAURIE'S MESSAGE
Where was Rex Moore, then?
Did he bear a charmed life, or was
he dead?
So the madness worked In that
brilliant, unbalanced brain. Until,
on the fifth day after Rex Moore
had been reported missing, Mark Al
bery was found unconscious on the
floor of his study in his Chelsea flat
When he recovered from the
stroke, his mind was affected, and
he babbled nonsense about having
sent Rex Moore to his death in a
plane that had been tampered with.
Nobody believed it, of course. His
doctors sent him into a nursing
home for such cases, and declared
that it was only a temporary break
down and that he would recover his
reason very soon.
It was on the following; day that
Laurie received a wire from a doc
tor in a remote French village, ask
ing her to come at once, as her hus
band was laid up there with a
broken ankle.
The journey was like a dream to
her, She flew to Chamaunix. and
from there hired a motor car thit
took her up into the mountains.
And there she found Rex, under
the shadow of Mont Blanc, the
snowy giant on whose icy slopes hs
mifjht so easily have found his grave.
He was bruised and shaken by the
crash, but had no worse injury than
the simple fracture of his ankle. He
had been delirious for three days,
from the result of exposure In a
high valley, where a party of guides
had found him, hence the delay In
letting anybody know of his plight.
They met in a simple room, with
varnished wooden walls and scrub
bed floor. From the balcony one look
ed on the tall, solemn pines and
the eternal snows, under the blazing
sapphire arch of the August sky.
Laurie walked slowly to his long
chair. Then, she suddenly knelt down
beside it.
"Oh, Rex Rex I've found you at
last!"
"I had to send for you, Laurie,
he answered in a strangely solemn
voice. "I didn't want to. I knew you
wouldn't want to come but you
would come, because you think you
owe me something."
"Oh, Rex, how did it happen?'
"That's what I felt I must tell you
Albcry tried to kill me.
"I knew it," she whispered. Ana
she told him what had happened at
the London station.
"He tried before," Rex went on,
"That time when you were going up
with me. You remember, I couldn t
find my usual mechanic. He must
have told the strange man to fill mv
tanks with the new fuel. Luckily, I
had warning from the engine in
time, and had a parachute."
"And this time?" she asked fear
fully. .
"Tills time the plane had been
tampered with. You wouldn't under
stand. It was done by an expert,
Nobody could have discovered it
until the plane fell to pieces In the
air. I was lucky again, I started off
the day before I Intended to, and
the job wasnt finished. So I
caped with my life. I had to tell
you, Laurie. I couldn't bear the
thought that you were going to
marry a murderer.
I knew it, Rex. And I'm not go
ing to marry him." She was dis
tracted. "And I think he's gone mad
They've put him into a home,
But here there seemed to be no
comfort, either. Rex Moore was still
so far away, so remote. His face was
set; his eyes had that inhuman,
snowy look; his mouth was angry
and stern.
"I knew that day at the station
that I couldn't marry him," she
went on. "Not for anything in the
world, not even for" She stopped
abruptly.
Not even for what, Laurie? Why
were you going to marry him? For
his money, for his position for
what else?
No no! She broke down. He
was all she wanted in the world. He
was he happiness; he was her man,
Nothing mattered but that he
should know the truth.
Rex, he forced me to say I would
marry him. He found out about us;
I didn't tell him. I had to lie to you
And he threatened to ruin your ca
reer if I didn't marry him. He Laid
he could. He wouldn't help you any
more, he wouldn t let anybody else
help you. He said he had the power,
and I believed him.
She looked at him In an agony of
fear lest he should not believe her
His arms closed around her and
held her with a fierce tenderness.
Laurie, you did that for mel How
could I be so blind? Of course, Al
bcry could have ruined me In my
job. Then, you do love me? You
love me as must as that?
Their lips met. . They were one In
that tremendous and awesome rap
lure that Is both violence and peace
"MaeDemott'a my friend," tars the
funny old man.
"I'll have him perform for you now
If I can."

A long time passed before they
spoke again.
Then Laurie said:
"But your career will be ruined.
Mr. Albery doesn't mind now, but
later on you will- be unhappy. Can I
make up for that?"
"You would make up for any
thing, my aweet, my wonderful Lau
rtel" he told her. "But I'm no long
er a penniless beggar, thanks to
Wanda Steele."
He saw that she did nob under
stand, and told her of Wanda's
tragic death and of his inheritance,
She felt a little pang of Jealousy
that another woman could do so
much for him, so much more than
she ever could, even though she was
dead. But, of course, she had to be
glad.
Laurie stayed in the little village
until Rex Moore could get about.

REV. E. S. HAMMOND
I was dead and here I am alive forevermore, holding the key
that unlock death and Hades. Rev. 1:18 (Moffatt's)
A school trustee who employed
me to teach in the public school
was, in his opposition to religion
and the Bible, the most bitter man
I ever recall talking with. He had
been a church member in his
younger manhood in the east, but
he had left his religion at the Mis
souri river. He had kept a saloon,
had done various shady things In
business and, to crown all, had
killed his partner in a quarrel over
a settlement.
Some years after I had closed the
school I had occasion to write him
a business letter. In it I said, "I
still keep my faith in Christ." In
his reply he said, "I am sorry you
still keep your faith in a dead
Christ." But he was mistaken. My
faith is still resting in a Christ "who
was dead" but now is "alive for
evermore," and has "the keyj
that unlock death and the grave."
It was my privilege some years
ago to become acquainted with
Harry Webb Farrington. At that
time he was a student. During the
World war he went to France In

Has brought Ood's life to me.
"I know not how that Calvary's
cross
A world from sin could free;
I only know Its matchless love
Has brought Ood's love to me.
"I know not how that Joseph's tomb
Could solve death's mystery;
I only know the Living Christ
Our immortality."
