BY RODNEY DUTCHER 1 American adherence to the world (NEA Service Writer) | Washington, July 10.—Now that all} the signatory nations have ratified | the Kellogg treaty to outlaw war and the peace dove is cooing more com- tortably than it ever could before, the | government may one of these days is- | sue a special postage stamp to com- | nemorate the treaty. | ‘The state department and the post- office department have before them a request of the Ameri branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom for a special two-cent stamp whose design would reproduce the signing of the pact by President Coolidge at the white hous and it is understood that both depart ments are considerably interested in the idea. Senator Borah, chairman of senate foreign relations c favors the peace stamp propos: stamp could be issued by the p fice department either with or w out the authority of congress. state department naturally wou interested because the recent ra tion of the Kellogg pact by t nese Diet represented the co: mation of one of the major stroke: modern American diplo: court protocol, which is favored by the peace societies.

Hoover, is unusually bright. There may be a war cloud here and there, | but none is especially dark. Peace societies such as the Wom- en’s League are very optimistic about it all and no less than ecstatic over President Hoover's strong pronounce- ments in favor of armament reduc- tion. They believe that various other measures more or less directly con- nected with the general peaceful trend are now bound to be effected and that their position in support of these measures has been vastly strength- ened. Next winter the senate probably so be made to pass one FIGURE WHERE LE GOT AIS WILL BE !! ‘al bills and resolutions— ng those of Senator Burton cn Porter and Fish— lation of arms ship- ments to tions at war. Take Up Gas Treaty Further effort will be made in the senate to cbtain ratification of the poison gas protocol. Fifteen nations have adhered to this, most of them in the last year. The list includes Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy. A majority of members of the senate forcign relations committee is now said to favor the outlawry of poison gas in warfare. ‘There is some hope that the expect- ed Hoov Donald conference will load toward an arbitration treaty with Great Britain, under which the two nations would promise to submit to arbitration any dispute arising be- tween them. It may also be that Hoover and MacDonald will come to some understanding which will hold up construction of most of the 15 new cruisers voted by congress, although contracts for the first two have just will take up Elihu Root’s formula for been let..

A little handful of the usual hangers-on, inspecting Sandy's plane, laconically and unromantically named “Number One,” for the prosaic reason that it was actually the first of the flect of commercial planes which Sandy Ross intended to own and operate. Privately owned planes. Tony's among them, occupied the other four hangars of the small field. Overalled mechanics slouched to and from the plane that was crouched like a giant scorpion, ready for the mad flight to Nicaragua. In the pathway of light from the office, Mrs. Purvis’ thin, anxious little figure was outlined with startling clearness. “Good-bye, Pest,” Sandy grinned, offering his hand. But Tony pretended not to see it With a muttered “Want to look at that left rear tire of mine,” she climbed out of the car. In spite of his fever to be off, how- ever, Sandy turned to inspect the mythical trouble in the left rear tire. ae heads bumped as they bent over “Guess—I—I was mistaken. Looks all right,” Tony gasped, and then somehow she was in his arms sobbing against his oil-stained flying coat. “Good kid. Funny Pest,” Sandy soothed her huskily, his arms crush- ing her so tightly against his breast that she could hardly breathe. “Don't go, Sandy! Oh, don't go!"| she cried, beside herself, not realizing in the least what she was saying. “Got to, honey.” Sandy answered gently. “Don’t cry.” And his shak- ing hand tilted her face. ‘There was just light enough for blue-diamond eyes to gaze deep, with @ question of passionate intensity, into freckled hazel ones.

Got to go now, honey,” Sandy said. his voice shaking. Not till you—say it, Sandy,” Tony protested, stirring in his arms, and cupping his lean, tanned face in her adoring hands. “When I get back, honey,” Sandy promised, his lips against her fragrant black hair. Even in her great need that the actual words should be spoken be- tween them, Tony had sense enough to realize whai he meant. If he never came back, he did not want her to mourn him as a betrothed husband. And because she knew. beyond the Possibility of doubt, that he had pledged himself to her with his lips upon hers, Tony forced herself to be content. She drew herself gently out of his arms, gave herself the inestimable happiness of tucking in that rebellious forelock of sandy hair. “Good-bye, |} Sandy. Hurry back. I—T'll take care of Mom. We'll both be—waiting for you—" A car shot past them, a crowded ear with a shrieking horn. | “I'm afraid it’s the newspaper boys and Crystal, Sandy,” Tony sym- pathized. But_her heart leaped to a new joy. She would have a picture of him taken at the last minute before the flight. . . . But of course he would ene back!
