NEW CITY
ORDINANCE
PROPOSAL
A recent article In this apace
railed attention lo the fact that
an ordinance was being consider-
ed. requiring that all persons ap-
plying for rlty conveniences
should also subscribe for tho Bul-
letin.
Wo would Uke to slate that this
to not being sponsored by thto
newspaper alone, but many life
long patrons who happen to re-
side by a family that to net a
regular subeerlber, and ln-ae-
raueh as everybody to going to
read It some one loees hto or her
ccoy occasionally.
It to not the intention of the
Bulletin or any other person that
people be forced to take some-
thing they do not want, but the
preeent demand for the news as
furnished “FIRAT IN BROWN-
WOOD BY THE BULLETIN”
makes it a very practical move-
ment to assist the public In gen-
eral te be greatly benefited and
more closely cooperate with one
main purpose hi view, The ad-
vancement of cur city welfare
and general development of the
“Heart of Texas Section."
We trust every person will un-
derstand the situation as It ex-
ists, and before such measures
are put into practice It must
have the unanimous approval of
the entire cltheuship.
Anyway as thtnrs now stand,
whether or not they are on our
books,

Each Plymouth that flashes .
by tells k story of style whose
every word is impressive of
modish quality.
And beneath the beauty of
the Plymouth is the modem,
sturdy, high-compression
engine that now
made even more start-
ling in performance by
numerous basic better-
merits, including in-
creased stroke and piston dis-
placement, heavier crank-
shaft, larger bearing surfaces
on crankshaft, camshaft and
connecting rods, newly de-
signed full-pressure lubricat-
ing system, longer, perfectly-
balanced connecting rods and
silcrome exhaust valves.
Rubber-insulated engine
mountings and body impulse
neutralizer further insure quiet
smoothness.
Plymouth passengers
are secure in the safety
of the positive brake
action provided by full-
itze Chrysler weather-
proof internal - expanding
4-wheel hydraulic brakes.
On every count Plymouth
exhibits superiority. It delivers
the utmost in its field—full-
tne comfort, quality and value
at an unparalleled low price.

Mr. Judson got the news of the
failure to make him talk from the
police by telephone.
You'd better send for your
thing! and remain here." he said
to Stephen.
Stephen was disinclined to accent
the Invitation.
"Well, then." Mr. Judscn said
you arc under police orders to do
so. He let Stephen catch a glance
which Pamela did not see and the
young man understood that there
waa something her father did not
care to moke known to her
He gave In with a poor show of
grace. Since returning from the
police station whete they owner of
the taxi liad be# taken Stephen
had sought to ge>, away from Mr
Judscn and go to Mildred.
But Mr Judwn was not willing
to let him out of hto sight. He
feared Stephen’s disregard of dan-
ger. Whatever else he might think
of him he did not consider Stephen
a coward. And he had no desire to
low a valuable witness. Aside from
that he wanted to see Stephen and
Pamela together, study them, and
learn, if possible, how much Ste-
phen meant to hto daughter.
Before the dinner was over lie
concluded that he was right about
Stephen beyond question. The
voung man seemed oblivious to Pa-
mela’s charm
Pamela noticed it. too. but she
put it down to oppression Who
wouldn’t be tongue-tied with a fu-
ture father-in-law glowering across
the table at you. let alone a high-
hat future step-mother-in-law?
8he tried to coax her father into
better mood but he paid no at-
tention to her. .<

YOU'D better not keep your

»sid to her when they left the
tabic.
And you’re looking terribly
rocky yourself.' Mrs. Judson sup-
plemented. thinking of the new
necklace Pamela had got. She
didn’t see why an unmarried gir!
should have so many jewels.
*Oh. I wont need to worry until
I'm after my third husband.” Pa-
mela retorted behind her father's
back.
Her step-mother, having married
three times, turned angrily away to
the 'mail salon that adjoined the
private room where they had dined
and seated herself at the Floren-
tine piano to murder Debussy.
Pamela drew Stephen off Into s
corner rnd offered him a rlgarette.
Mr Judson left to attend to some
business in his office.
“At last we have a chance to
talk." Pamela said and settled her-
relf far back on a silken couch.
Her costume was a very thin one
and Stephen thought she must be''
cold and got up to close one of the
French a-lndows that opened onto a
small balcony.
When he readied it he stepped
out. drawn by the beauty of the sky
that glistened with stars — stars
that he hadn’t seen for week'.
He looked a moment at them and
they leaned over to view the com-
peting lights below.
With a choked cry and a bound
Pamela was running toward him
He turned In surpr.se,
“Oh don’t, don't." she cried and 1

"Don't go so near the edge! You

CHE was leaning against him. her
eye- wide with terror, shaking
like a leaf.
’•Nonservsr," Stephen .said un-
gently. but Pamela continued to
ding to him.
"I coaid n't bear tn lose you. too. I
Stevo. Oh. I love you so dearly,” I
she wailed.
Stephen put an arm around her
to lift her away so he could close
the window. The fed of her rjlm
young body aroused no tender emo-
tion In hto heart but he was touch-
ed by her emotion.
"Poor kid." he murmured and
pressed her closer.

in.

the hotel where you lived had them
placed in storage. I hope you will

••Thank ycu.” Stephen said
“There was nothing important;
mostly clothing, one of the boys
from Mettles' was kind enough to
look after the things I valued.”
He turned to Pamela to say good-
night. remarking that he would like
to unpack his things. In reality he
wanted to get away and telephone
Mildred's home to Inquire how she
was getting along. An earlier call,
put through by Mr. Judson. had
acquainted them with her safe ar-
rival at the flat.
“You can't go co early.“ Pamela
declared stormtly. "Why. we have
no aetttled anything about our
wedding! ”
Her father looked at her with
more sternness than she was accus-
tomed to see on hto face.
“Mr. Aimltage has had a very ex-
citing day. Pam.” he said quietly.
“Besidei. I want to ltave a talk
