Danger Ahead
A dangerous ncte is sounded In Germany by Adolph
Hitler leader of the German fascist party. In a book.
“My Fight’’ which outlines the party's alms.
Fascist Germany's foreign policy would aim at the
cxmquest of Russia a vast territory demoralized by
bolshevism as he puts it.
Hitler is very plain in stating Germany s selfish
alms in the proposed conquest. Germany must expand
her borders. God did not give her the lands she now
has; she fought for them. That is Herr Hitler talk-
ing.
The German fascists are stirring their country
though as yet they remain in tpe minority. Under
such an ambitious leader as Hitler they could do
their own nation and the world Inestimable damage
if they ever were given control of the government.
Germany has a problem on her hands. And the
world must keep watch lest another catastrophe such
as swept Europe but few years ago is not repeated.
Evidently the costly lesson taught then has not stuck
veiy well in some minds
Italy's fascistl are making an aggressive military
government out of that peninsula country. Gremany's
fascists will do the same for Germany. But in Germ-
any held tight within boundaries which the German
people know are too confining the thunder means
more than Just a military government. ... It means
war and international bloodshed If it prevails.
The world is keeping an eye on Adolph Hitler and
his party fearfully . . . hoping the ambitions by this
radical party may be suppressed by good sense on
the part of the German people.
Hab You a Colb?
Several of us are suffering from the sniffles these
days wnd It is all our fault. So the doctors tell us
and they will tell you. too. if you ask. And then they
will prescribe—ah. me. no. not that—prescribe some-
thing to be pumped up into your head that will bum
as if it were kerosene. If you survive that they will
give you castor oil put you on an orange diet and
order you to walk five miles In the sun. At least some
of them will.
Better than killing colds of course is avoiding
them. The medical profession has been striving on
this problem year in and out. and some Washington
statistician has been calculating the billions lost to
Industry each year through common colds. All very
comforting; but it does not make a cold comfortable.
But as Dr. Edens kindly advised us. take a mid-
dle course in what you do—wear middle weight cloth-
ing. eat middling-heavy food sleep a middling
amount and probably you won't get a cold But there
are some of us who just will show off our new fall
wclothes. no matter how hot the day. and we are those
who take colds. And no one Is more miserable unless
he have havfever.
Letter of the Law
TV 18th amendment and laws passed thereunder
forbid possession of spirituous liquors as well as their
manufacture sale or transportation. Now Amos
Woodcock national prohibition enforcement head
has decreed that no warrants shall be issued for liquor
possession if neither sale manufacture nor trans-
portation is Involved.
This Is the way the law has been enforced In Texas
for years save in sporadic cases: Yet more strict than
the Jones law or other enforcement statutes.
THE DELAY BETWEEN BITES
(In a book. “A Remedy for Disappearing Oame
Fishes" of which he is author President Hoover lauds
fishing as next to prayer the most personal relation-
ship of man. "But’' he concludes “it is too long be-
tween bites. We must have more fish in proportion
to the water.")
I
The tariff s a problem that fills me with woe;
It gives me the deepest concern
That commerce and trade are distressingly low
And showing few signs of a turn.
The wet and dry questions most bothersome are
And crime gives me troublesome nights.
But I know a problem that’s bigger by for—
The length of time between bites!
II
This wide unemployment distresses me much
As Industry fails to get hot;
The market’s bad action has kept me in Dutch—
Oh tough is a president’s Job!
Reviving good times and preserving world peace
Are objects no public man slights
But there is a problem important as these—
The needless delay between bites!
III
The farm problem’s one that I never will shirk
I’m grieved by the excess of wheat;
I’m doing my best to give working men work
And bring back prosperity sweet.
The crisis in Europe I view with despair;
I’m worried by taritf-wall fights.
But there is no problem so big anywhere
As that of the time between bites.
IV
World peace is a matter all statesmen desire
Disarmament too is our need;
To brotherly love all great nations aspire;
From burdens of war we’d be freed.
These hopes all command our attention and
thought
But I know one more that delights
The musings of mankind at large as it ought..
A lot less delay between bites!
V
And so In the White House when troubles I scan.
And I'm overburdened by care
I pack up and scoot for the old Rapidan
To work on my problems out there;
And I know of nothing to keep the world gay
With happiness free from respites
Than solving the problem—and that right away
Of needless delay between bites!
Both Forehand and Backhand
Mr. Tuttle the New York Republican gubernatorial
nominee is a tennis player of no mean ability. And
Tammany will be among those compelled to admit
that his volleying is perfect.
He Knew All
"He has always liked to play bridge." says Mrs.
Tuttle of the Republican nominee “and even before
our marriage he asked me. not knowing I didn't play
It to be his partner in a tournament. I don't know-
how I did it but I got through with it."
Tush! Tush! Or rather. Tut! Tut! Once a prober
always a prober. Mr. Tuttle probably was in com-
plete possession of all the facts all the time. What
Mrs. Tuttle should have done was to waive immunity
and put all her cards on the table.
Pipe Dreams
Twas in the U. 8. P. O.
I was astonished when
Imagine my amazement.
I found a perfect pen.
Now being in a hurry.
I grabbed the first in sight
And started on an address;
Great Scott that pen could write!
In my surprise I broke it
Prepared then for the worst
I went and picked another
As perfect as the first!
One hardly would believe me.
Those pens I found that night
Moved me to exhaltation..
You couldn't hear them write!
I gazed in wonder ’round me.
Oh Lord but It seemed queer..
A thousand people writing
With pens you couldn’t hear!

Celia Mitchell 17 laces a new
life when she leaves the home in
Baltimore where she has lived with
her seamtsress mother Margaret
Rogers to Join her lather John
Mitchell and her grandmother in
a stately New York dwelling.
The girl had not even known her
lather was living until the day he
came to the Baltimore apartment.
Celia had suposed Bob Rogers her
mother’s second husband to be her
father. Mitchell oilers Celta a life
of wealth and immediately every-
thing changes. She leaves her
mother unaware that Margaret
Rogers Is seriously 111 and she
leaves Barney Shields young news-
paper photographer who swears
that some day he and Celia will be
married.
The girl is lonely and ill at ease
in New York. Her aristocratic
grandmother criticizes her and one
eyening Mitchell finds her in tears.
He calls on Mrs. Evelyn Parsons a
beautiful widow whose husband had
been Mitchell's close friend. Mrs
Parsons agrees eagerly to introduce
Celia to the right set of young peo-
ple. but her interest is clearly in
Mitchell himself and not in the
i girl.
Now Go On W>th The Storr
CHAPTER XVI
. “You will let her come won’t
you?” Mrs Parsons leaned forward
smiling eagerly as she spoke.
She was sitting in one of the gilt
chairs in the drawing room of the
Mitchell home facing Mrs. Thomas
Worthington Mitchell. It was the
afternoon following Mitchell's visit
at Evelyn Parsons’ apartment. The
two women were alone in the vast
room and the youthful looking widow
had Just stated the object of her
call.
Mrs. Mitchell frowned cleared
her throat. Before she could speak
Evelyn hurried on.
"Of course it's not really a par-
ty! Just these few youngsters who
like to use my tennis courts and
dance to radio music on the porch
There's Kate Duncan and her sis-
ter. Lisi Walter Carr—Fanny Price
Carr's son. you know-and Eve and
Courtney Brooks Then Jimmy Web-
ster's coming. They're all such nice
voung neople for your granddaugh-
ter to know ”
“I suppose theres no harm”
Mrs. Mitchell agreed “so long as
her father thinks it's all rieht—”
“But he does! And really. Mrs.
Mi‘chell you mustn’t tie yourself
j down here in- this hot city just be-
muse of—well this new resnonsi-
bility. I think it's wonderful of you
tut you're too self-sacrificing.”
Mrs. Mtchell shrugged her shoul-
der.
“Nonsense. I'm only trying to
do the right thing by John's
daughter I guess she can go down
with you for the week-end. Can she
drive down in your car?”
Evelyn Parsons nodded
“That's just what I’ve planned."
she said. “I'll stop here for her
about 11 o'clock Saturday morn-
ing and I'll see that she's back
safely Monday. Now you mustn't
have a restlses moment—”
“I won't worry." Mrs. Mitchell
said firmly. "I'm not the worrying
kind. Of course I hope she'll be-
have herself. You haven't even seen
her yet.”
But Mrs. Mitchell—”
The older woman went to a ta-
ble and touched a bell. A moment
passed and then Edward appeared
in the doorway.
“Did you ring madam?”
“Yes. Edward. Send Martha tc
ask Miss Celia to come here "
Edward departed with this mes-
sage. Mrs. Parsons fanned herseii
:
gently with a folded sheet of pa-
per. ©he wore an inconspicuous
irock of black with white lace at
the throat. Her broad-brimmed hat
was black also. The costume was
gauged to meet the dignified Mrs.
Mitchell’s approval. *
"There was no trouble." she said
quietly “about—the girl’s mother?”
The elder woman' sback stiffen-
ed.
“You mean about bringing Celia
here? I should think not! rJhat
creature made her bed—let her lie
in It."
Evelyn Parson's lashes lowered
demuredly. She looked all inno-
cence as her purring voice con-
tinued:
“You didn’t approve of the mar-
riage. then?"
“Approve!" The vehemence of
the word was unmistakable. “Ap-
prove? No I didn’t. And John
Mitchell’s been paying for his fool-
headedness ever since After I’d—"
Mrs. Mitchell's words were not
finished. Standing In the doorway
hesitating to eater the room ap-
peared a girlish figure.
“Come in. Celia” her grand-
mother said quickly. "I want you
to meet Mr! Parsons Mrs. Par-
sons. this Is my granddaughter."
Celia hurried toward them.
“You pretty child!"
Evelyn Parsons’ upllted face
glowed with sweetness. She took
the girl’s hand in both her own.
pressing it warmly.
“Ceiia my dear” Mrs. Parsons
continued. "I'm so glad to know
you and I hope you're going to
be very happy here In New York
Your father and I have been
friends for years. You must let me
be your friend too." Then she
smiled.
“I—I’m glad to meet you.” Celia
said hoping she did not show the
confusion she felt.
“Sit down. Celia” her grand-
mother prompted.
The girl took the nearest chair
"Mrs. Parsons has brought you an
invitation child She wants you
to spend the week-end with *»•? on
Long Island. Your father and I
have agreed that you may go”
If they had expected Celia to
show spontaneous delight at this
announcement the women were dis-
appointed. With no change of ex-
pression the girl said:
“It's very nice of you to invite
me. Mrs. Parsons.”
The widow beamed.
“I only hope you’ll find it amus-
ing.” she said. "There are going
to be some other young people.
Youne neople I'm sure you’ll en-
joy. Will you come?”
Celia eyed her grandmother side-
WiS6.
“I'll be glad to." she said. And
then she repeated. “It’s lovely of
you to ask me.”
There was more talk during
which Evelyn chattered to Mrs
Mitchell of persons of whom Celia
had never heard After 10 min-
utes of this Mrs. Parsons left. Ce-
lia was dismissed and returned tc
the book she had been reading
At the dinner table that evening
the girl heard more interesting
news.
“Mrs Parsons Is coming to take
you shopping in the morning.’
John Mitchell told her.
"To take me shopping?"
“Why. yes.” Mitchell spoke cas-
ually. “I hear you’re Invited tc
Long Island for the week-end
Mother has a mission board meet-
i ing tomorrow and Mrs. Parsons
kindly offered to take you on e
j tour of the shop.* Buv up a few
things voull need in the country.”
"Is Long Island country?” Celia

Shakespeare?
There is a certain Mr. Richard?
who has been following very close-
ly the trials and tribulations of
Brownsville’s fair blonde who is
looking for a husband. Mr. Rich-
ards also has Shakespearean sent-
iments. and the following contri-
bution plainly reveals this.
Mr. Richards is not placing his
bid for the fair maiden's hand as
he already has a wife but he sug-
gests that someone use his method
of approach.
Here we go:

‘‘Good morrow. Mr. Monsees
Pray have you not in hiding a
maid—a beauteous blonde—called
Miss Unknown who would a hus-
band take?
“I pray sir tell me—is it possible
that a maid—young a blonde and
pretty say'st you. hunt a
husband; or is it just another fake?
“If this be no Jest. I beseech
thee sir. to wish me to the maid—

ier. way
“She may more suitors have and
me for one if she cares to heed
what I may have to say.

livelihood. A measely shame sir I
declare for a maid so fair.
“For I will board her—and hap-
pily too. Her wage is nix; for it I
do not care.
•Pray lead me to the lady sir
in haste lest I lose some time In
begging my wooin’.
“Forsooth sir ’tis blondes that's
my weakness now; and in the
parlance of the street no foolin'.
“If faults the maid may have
care I not a whit; think you that
I would mind?
“For have you not said that she's
a blonde young with as fair a face
as one might find?
"Tush! Tush! This liberty Is all
that I request—
“That I may have ' welcome

“And free access and favor a.

“The maid for whom a husband
you so kindly seek.
“Is not bold In asking you to do
it; nay. the boldness is mine own—
she's rather meek!
“That I. being a stranger never
yet has she beheld my face court
her affections.
“A blonde sayst thee? A maid
whose face is sweet with beauty?
I ask no more descriptions.
“I burn. I pine I perish sir. if I
achieve not this maid who would
be a wife I
“I have my old home left and tr
the Valley come: yea I am In the
Garden called Winter.
“ ’Tis a land that makes me
happy; never shall I make my way
hence: and for the heart of a
blonde would be a champ spi nier
“Oh. Mr. Monsees. please sir. T
pray let me be a slave to achieve
that maid.
“Such a life with such a wife
would be like quaffs of purest
nectar wine.
“Many rivals I have. I perceive
but I'll court the maid with fervor;

“With a blonde as a wife. I would
lead a gay life: carefree would I

was—very fashionable.
Mitchell laughed.
•Right" he said. "Its fashion-
able- parts of it. New Yorkers like
to call anything outside the five
boroughs country.' I l ope you'll
enjoy the trip."
"Oh. I'm sure I will.” Celia said
quickly. "Mrs. Parsons seems tr
be very nice."
"Evelyn." said John Mitchell
thoughtfully “is a wonderful wo-
man."
Celia darted a swift glance at her
father. After that she ate in si-
lence.

The shopping trip Friday morn-
ing was a revelation to young Ce-
lia Mitchell. In the first place she
and Mrs. Parsons rode in a limou-
sine behind a liveried chauffeur
Never had Olia felt so important
Secondly she had to watch herself
closely to keep from showing amaze-
ment at the places they visited.
In a thickly carpeted salon with
beautiful furniture where one or
two attractive young women loi-
tered. Celia was astounded to hear
Mrs. Parsons ask to be shown sport
clothes. It was inconceivable—un-
til she saw it was true—that gar-
ments were for sale here.
There were others to follow like
this first emporium. And after Ce-
lia had become accustomed to thr
uncommercial aspect of the shop.-
she was enraptured with the pur-
chases Mrs. Parsons made.
They were to buy “just a few
things." the woman had said when
they set out. It was three o'clock
in the afternoon when Celia reach-
ed home amid boxes and bundles
Within the packages was a brief
tennis dress beach pajamas—vivid
green splotched with orange—a
green jersey swimming suit r
printed afternoon frock and two
billowing party dresses. There wrer<
shoes to match everything gloves
; little felt hats a beret and broad-
brimmed straw. There were othei

"But they’re so expensive!” the
girl had protested more than once.
Evelyn Parsons laughed at her.
"Your father's orders my dear.
It’s because you’re such a pretty
girl. He wants to show you off!"
Celia blushing felt that her new
friend was indeed a “wonderful
woman ” Already she felt more at
ease with Mrs. Parsons than she
did with her grandmother and she
had known Mrs Parsons only a few
hours. Celia was beginning to be-
come excited about her week-end
visit.
"Mrs Parsons." the girl said shy-
ly as they parted that afternoon.
"I don’t know how to thank you—”
Evelyn tapped her wrist
"There there” she said "save
those blushes for the young men.
I’m going to see that you meet
some handsome ones too. Be ready
tomorrow morning."
"Oh. yes! I'll be ready!”

Edward carried the packages
into the house For two hours after
that Celia had a fashion show try-
ing on first one costume and then
another parading before her mir-
rors. She did all this in the privacy
of her own room. Once as she saw
her reflection in the evening frock
which was her favorite—a pink net
with tiny cap sleeves and ruffled
skirt stiffened with blue ribbons—
her lips moved unconsciously.
‘Oh mother” Celia whispered “if
you could only see me!”
She resolved to sit down at once
and write her mother about the

letter was finished however ft was
dme for Celia to dress for dinner
and after that for some leason. the
letter was not finished.
“I'll drive down Sunday after-
noon and bring you back” Mitchell
told the girl as they sat with Mrs
Mitchell discussing the week-end
plans .
"Why. John” his mother cut in.
"I didn't know you were going!”
“Oh. Evelyn thought it might
make it a little pleasanter for Ce-
lia. You see all the others there
will be strangers.”
“I suppose so.”
“Couldn’t you go with us tomor-
row?” Celia asked.
“No—afraid I couldn't get away
to do that.” Her father shook his
head. ..“Evelyn's stopping for vou.
sn't she?”
"Yes. At 11 o'clock.”
It was 10 minutes after that
hour when Evelyn Parsons’ motor
car stopped before the Mitchell
home. Evelyn went up the steps.
Before she could ring the bell Ce-
lia had the door open.
"Oh. good morning. Mrs Par-
I sons' Come In. I'm all ready!'
Mrs Mitchell emerged from be-
: hind Cells Edward carried the lug-
gage out and stowed it in the car.
|Then Celia gave her grandmother
i a dutiful kiss. They were about to
leave when Mrs. Mitchell called to
Evelyn to look at a clipping from
a newspaper social column.
It was Just then that Martha
appeared * In the hallway. She
caught Celia s eye and hurried to-
ward the girl.
"For you!" Martha whispered
Celia felt something being pressed
