"I'm so glad that's settled."

She atared at him without anger.
"Whyr
A thousand reasons rushed across
his mind, which concentrated In one
reason.
"The way he looked at you. He
knows as much about you as I do."
She retreated. When some mln
utos later he went to Join her, the
door was locked. He tapped. No
answer. That night with coats and
cushions he contrived for himself a
make-ahlft bed on the couch.
Unrefresbed, he rose early and
left the apartment without seeing
her. There was only one way now
In which he could win her respect
A few minutes after Mr. Cleasby
had entered his office, Clive was
ahown in. Mr. Cleasby glanced up,
frowning over his spectacles.
"What's the matter, my boyt Yon

"Today, sir. If It suits you."
Back at his old deak, In the at

he had been menaced retreated.
His hand Itched to telephone Santa;
he fought oft the temptation.

Now that he was quit of his prede

Not the least notable feature of
the great Democratic- victory of No

It wrecked finally and completely
some of the pet theories on which
political planning has been, based for
many years. t
What becomes of the long accepted
notion tshat In this country there are
two paries, fairly evenly matched,
with a comparatively small group of
Independents holding the balance of
power?
Or. the tradition, established In
Lincoln's time and reaffirmed In
Wilson's, that the country will hesi

of great national stress?

contest for the highest office,

be hard to beat because of the fa
vors be has done and the organiza
tion be has buUded during four years
of power?
Or the old conviction (hat the re
spective Interests at the states have
grown so diverse that never again
will all sections unite In finding any
one candidate preferable?
The answer Is that all these as
sumptions are as dead as last sum
mer's flower garden. Every one of
them waa nurtured hopefully by the
supporters "of Mr. Hoover, yet he
waa the worst defeated candidate of
any major party In history.
An About Face
The election returns are much
more decisive on that point when
they are compared, detail for detail,
with the figures of 1928.
It Is in Itself an astounding con
tradiction of the old political theo
ries that all the greatest landslides
of all time could have - taken place
at two succeeding elections, and op
erated in exactly opposite directions.
Mr. Roosevelt's popular plurality
approximates that by which Mr.
Hoover won four years ago some
thing above six millions, nl other
words, more than six million voters,
not simply a minor group of Inde
pendents, changed tickets between
one election and the next.
And trhat figure. It should be re
membered, Is net. It takes no ac
count of the undeterminable num
ber who changed the other way
that Is, those who voted against Mr.
Hoover last time, and supported him
this time.
To put it In terms of state major
ities, 34 states, or more than two
thirds the whole number, went Re
publican In 1028 and switched to
Democratic in 1033.

Considered along with the break

Increasing by leaus and bounds In

accordingly.
But certainly political axioms can

Cremated Dead and Built
Villages On Rafts, Science
Finds Hunting and Farm
Life Customs Revealed
By Howard W. Blakealee
(Associate Press Science Editor)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) Five
hundred years before Christ the an
cient Irish were cremating their dead
In the present Irish Free State.
This Is one of the first prehlstoclcal
facts unearthed in a five year survey
of Irish racist history, social and
economic development and anthro
pological peculiarities, undertaken by
Harvard university's department of
anthropology with the approval of
the Free State.
Raft Village Discovered
The burial customs, pottery, stone
Implements and bronze aggers show
ing how these Irishmen of long ago
lived were dug up In a preliminary
survey the past summer. They were
found In a huge cairn on Kockast
hill, a 800-foot high elevation.

In county Westmeath, at Ballln
gerry, the Harvard anthropologists
dissevered a raft village of the 10th
century, A. D.
It waa made by lake dwellers, who
started with a huge log raft for a
foundation. On top of this they
added new platforms of peat and
brushwood, cemented by clay, to
form an artificial Island. Sometimes
40 persons at a time lived on this
raft.
Farm Life Revealed
High wooden stakes formed a pro
tective palisade. Rotted remnants of
dugouts nearby showed how these
ancient people reached the land.
Bones of domestic animals, deer and
boar told the story of their hunting
and farm life. Wooden tubs, barrels,
Iron knives. Iron axes, bone combs
and bronze pins filled in details of
family and social occupations.
The survey Is under direction of
Professor E. A. Hooton of the Harvard
department of anthropology. He will
conduct also the physical anthropol
ogy studies.
