PRESIDENT NOT LONDON-BOUND. Most people will feel a relief that President Roosevelt is not planning a dash across the Atlantic Ocean to attend the World Economic Conference at London, which was declared by a New York news- paper to be his intention. The country still re- members with regret the second trip of Woodrow Wilson to Paris and the feeling is general that he might have accomplished his aims more fully had he remained in Washington at that time. Whether or not that is true, there seems to be no special reason just now for Mr. Roosevelt to take a personal part in the London discussions. The country is ably represented there by Secretary of State Hull and his associates. They are in position to speak authoritatively, for the President on any subject before the world gathering., Although Con- gress is off his hands, there is still much work of tremendous importance to be done in getting the Administration’s machinery for combatting depression into high gear. His presence in Washington is almost essential to that task. That he recognizes that fact is shown by his plans for the summer. | After his vacation cruise to Maine, which ends this week, these call for him to return to the mouth of the Potomac River on the new cruiser, Indian- apolis, on its trial trip, which probably led to Lhel assumption he might go to London, and thence back to Washington. There he will remain all of July and possibly most of August, breaking the monotony of the grind with an occasional trip to his home in Hyde Park. It is evident the President doesn‘t intend to be far away from the National capital where the drive for economic reécovery will center during the next few months. VOTING WOMEN. Die-hard Prohibitionists will do well carefully to consider the overwhelming majorities that have been registered in every State where opportunity to vote on the question of repeal of thke Eighteenth Amndment _has been presented. These tremendous majorities are significant, for no rational observer can deny that the doom of the “noble experiment” is to be written and executed, in a large measure, by the women of the country. How women regard Prohibition never until now has been put to the test.- There are women's organi- zations for and against, but the great rank and file of women have up to the present been unheard from. Perhaps the firm insistence of President Roosevelt that the evil be swept from the national experience may have had great influence in the States in which the people already have voted, but it is reasonable to believe that the women have reasoned things out for themselves, have decided that the experiment has resulted in failure, and that this decision has not been altogether influenced by arguments based on business and taxation. Women generally' are to be found in support of morality, of measures for improvement of the social order—for the home and all that the home means to them. Having passed, for more than a decade through the crime and unmorality, the increase of “smart” drinking among their children, they seem determined to set things aright again as swiftly as can be. They are out in the open saying with their ballots that they are done with the speak- easy and its spawn of debauchery. They are reg- istering themselves in favor of a great potential tax which will assist their country to prosperous stability and to social security; to save their boys and girls from the continued incroachments of the illicit liquor vendors and their poisonous products; to restore to society that dignity and decency which is its proper due. Just let the women vote, unctuously chortled the Prohjbitionists of yesterday. Well, the women are voting. The results so far seems to indicate they are not only “truly moral and idealistic, but they are practical as well ALL RIGHT TO ROCK THE BABY. Those modern psychologists who have banned rocking babies have been all “wet,” in the opinion of at least one distinguished child specialist who has come forth with the dictum that it is all right to resume that old-fashioned method of soothing wearied and indignant infants. And, after all, why not? Rocking the baby to the slow rhythm of almost forgotten lullabies is one of mothers’ natural instincts, and not the only one that was verboten by the school of psychologists that came into power a decade or more ago. Rocking chairs and babies are natural concomitants. When science banned the one maybe it had something to do with the partial of the other. At least the Federal Division of Vital Statistics recently announced that " the current birth rate in the United States is the lowest ever recorded and that the movement toward a stationary or declining population is gaining speed. The modern girl cannot be blamed if she rebelled {can retire without delay all coming under the act. spinach camp: hours mastering psychol- ogy, all of which resulted in the accumulation of mountainous fears and a well-developed inferiority complex. The rules set up by the unlamented mod- erns abolished practically every conceivable com- pensation in raising a family. Maybe if a few more of the verbotens can be removed, there will be a revival of maternity in the land. Motherhood can again be regarded as a worthwhile profession which is capable of com- | peting with feminism ahd the social whirl. Cradles can again compete with cocktail parties. And onte again we can realize that babies are a necessary essential to life and not just a branch of social service philanthrophy. THIRTY-YEAR RETIREMENT. Under the Independent Offices Appropriation Act approved by President Roosevelt early this month, a modification of his proposal for 30-year retire- ment of Government employees was set up. It was r made an automatic provision as had been recommended by the Bureau of Budget. It provides that the President and Executive Officers in charge of Government departments can retire at their discretion employees who have been in the service 30 years. This, of course, empowers the Ad- ministration to do the thing it asked Congress to make automatic under the law, and if it desires it for Some of the deserving Democrats who have been waiting for Mr. Farley to hand out a few post- masterships are authority for the claim that Mahatma Gandhi is a mere amateur when it comes to fasting. { Returning Sanity. (New York Herald Tribune.) The complete surrender of the German Olympic delegation to the ultimatum that there must be no discrimination against Jews in the 1936 games at Berlin was a fine victory for General Sherrill and his supporters. It was also an important omen of a returning sanity among the Nazi leaders with respect to the vital issue of anti-Semitism. Following closely on the blunt refusal of Mr. Toscanini to conduct at Bayreuth, the sports issue brought matters to a head with a vengeance. It is not difficult to guess the powerful elements in Germany who would profit by a large influx of tourists this summer and in 1936 and who protested these threats to their profits. They have apparently forced a complete right-about-face on the part of ‘the Hitler government in so far as the Olympic games are concerned, and the hcpe grows that the musical sky may also be cleared of racial prejudice. The threat of General Sherrill to take the games from Berlin, like the decision of Mr. Tos- canini, rested upon no question of a boycott, always a dubious and dangerous weapon. It rested upon a fundamental truth of sportsmenship. There can be no genuinely representative contest in a sport so long as any race is excluded. True sportsman- ship rests upon this democratic base, and to hold Olympic games by any other rule would be absurd. Similarly with music. Neither national nor racial boundaries have a place in any of the arts. To ex- clude any race from participation in a great music festival not only inevitably lowers the quality of its achievement but does violence to the whole spirit of beauty and the creative imagination. .. Very likely economic pressure is the first agency working for an abatement of the anti-Semitic crusade in Germany. But in the long run the (stultifying insult to truth and to the distinguished record of the German intellect must also have its effect. If the book-burning episode were to remain a true symbol of German civilization, then Germany would have reverted a matter of five hundred years. The bitterest attacks upon the German spirit in the heat of war excitement were not too bitter. Every friend of Germany will pray that such madness may pass, and speedily. It is, indeed, good news that at least in the field of {sport the tide has turned. Alaska’s Summer Asset. (Anchorage Times.) The balmiest season of the year is heré—and Alaska is reveling in the blessing of sunshine, flow- ers, soft winds from the mysterious tropics—and all the blessings that come to the most equable climate imaginable. Summer is here with its opening days of the outdoor swimming season. Tennis, baseball, golf, fishing, motoring and other outdoor sports lure young and old from their indoor haunts. And it is well they fall for the lure. Nature has nothing in store so rich for every individual as health—and her greatest health giving secrets will be found right out in the sunshine, indulging in some pleasurable exercise or diversion. Bottled sunshine may have to be resorted to by some in sunless realms in order to get a proper |proportion of vitalizing elements for the body—but not for those of Anchorage and vicinity who take advantage of her wholesome blessings of the out- doors. While the mid-continent swelters and hundreds die and thousands are stricken from excessive heat —Alaska enjoys the finest summer climate to be found in any land. Some of these days the world will wake up to the fact Alaska has a summer season that is, as mild and gentle for months as the most perfect |spring day of the average temperate zone. Some day Alaska will be America’s great summer play- ground—just as Florida and California are her winter playgrounds. Some day quick connection by many lines of travel—including speeding giant planes |that come through from the States in a day—at a |single hop—will bring tens of thousands if not hun- |dreds of thousands to ‘this wonderland each. year |to revel here in this salubrious summer clime. Then will it be realized that Alaska has in her climate one of her greatest, most permanent and inex- haustible assets. Climate has brought millions to the Edens of other lands and will do the same for Alaska. The individual can capitalize this climate for his own good health—and the promoter of the future will capitalize it in building up a great tourist travel that will return a stream of wealth, + The Senate revelations on mncome tax evasions serve to give the impression that a working knowledge of sleight-of-hand is one of the essential elements of success in big business—(Ohio State Journal.)

Chapter 37 BACK TO “JAIL™ NUMBER ot policemen accom- panfed us, ond our passage through the streets caused quite a stir in the town, though I noted it only absent-mindedly and that be- cause so many children dnd so many dogs seemed to spring up beside us. 1 did not. of course, understand much of the Interview with the commissaire and the judge; that is, I did not understand French, and neither, it developed, did Francis Tally; Lorn and Sue translated swiftly for us, but sometimes forgot momentarily to translate, which was maddening. They told the whole story of the inheritance, of the abduction, of the token, of the reasons we had for believing the murder centered about it. They were constantly interrupted and questioned. It was a difficult hour, and the conclusion was what 1 should have expected but somehow had not. The police did not belleve their story. They listened, they ques. tioned, they even grew excited and, 1 thought, sent a telegiam or two; but they did not wholly credit it. Well, of course, it was extraor dinary. Still, it had happened. At any rate, they politely forbade the plan Francis Tally advanced to leave with his sister the coming morning. Even when his fine featured face flushed and became angry and he shouted a bit, they still refused. I'hey were polite; they were regretful; but Monsieur must see that It could not be. They could only assure us that the detectives from Paris would ar- rive tomorrow aud then, we gath ered, it would immediately be over, the murderer In jail, and everything settled. And as far as that goes they may have been speaking the truth; we were never to know as to that. In the end our progress back to the hotel was in the nature of a retreat to jail. It happened that Sue walked be side me. She said nothing on the way back through white, wind swept, cobblestoned streets wind- ing narrowly between shuttered stone houses with tall, peaked roofs. In the courtyard once more, a chance movement trought her momentarily very near me with the others—Francis and Lern, that is— ahead; a policeman was at her other elbow, but she ook the chance of the man's not being able to under- stand English. She whispered, her eyes on Fran- cis Tally’s sloping shouiders: “I've lost the token, i can’t show it to Francis, It's gone.” “Have you told him?” “No. No—he must not know. What shall [ do?” Lorn turned to 210ld open the door to the lobby, and Sue was obliged to pass ahead of me and ahead of Francis into the lobby. Lovschiem Wwas waiting, rubbing his hands on which the jewels sparkled. The cockatoo chuckled. WAS in all likelihood that curious and distasteful gesture ot Lovschiem’s that suddenly con- vinced me that he was again in the saddle, so to speak. He'd been ever since Stravsky's unsolved murder vaguely uncertain, definitely perplexed, He'd had, like. Grethe, an air of walting, but fn his case it had neen anxious walt- ing. Uncertain waiting. Where she had been poised and alert in her secretive patience, he had been, somehow, worried, inept, hesitant. It was as if his course of action were not definitely mapped; or as it he thought more of fts possible failure rhan of its poesible success. His eyes had been veiled, darting, nervous. His face had glistened and had had a bad color. His flabby hands had hovered irresolutely, as if they could not decide upon any certaln actfon but must hesitate over the ledger and over the ink. well. His continual smile had been no longer bland, But now all at once there was about him a perceptible air of de- cision, It was as it he knew now exactly what he was going to do. ‘There was briskness in his bulky shoulders; briskness in his fat rub- /bing hands; confidence i his biand j«rte, and declslon in his darting ven the dirty jewele seemed to ,wink and glimmer with a sudden | access of evil and knowing energy. he said In a congratulatory So you have gone to the police. You have arranged things. I'hat is good. That is good. Not that 1 want my guests Lo leave me, but it has been a bad time bere.” He advanced in an ingratiating way toward Sue, “l am so glad, Misg Tally, that your brother has finally arrived. Sorry you are to :eave us. But glad | he has arrived. We have tried to make you happy here {n our poor way. But it has been a ead time for this young miss,” hq added, turning sympathetically to Francis Tally, though, oddly, he avoided meeting his eyes. “But it appears that we are not leaving,” said Francis Tally. Lovschiem’s gesticulating hands arrested themselvés in the air. He looked so suddenly and completely at a loss that it was almost ludicrous. In an instant the new decision was wiped out of his glistening fat face. “But—but why?" At once I knew that whatever this new course o Lovschiem's had been it must have inciuded Sue's immediate departure in the com- pany of her brother. Why? I listened to Francis Tally's re- ply. He had seemed 1l at ease and not too likable at tirst; he was more at ease now but no more lkable, “Some absurdity about waiting for the detectives from Parie. 1 don’t know what they expect to discover. But the police won't let us leave. They'd rather subject us all to the danger of staying here in your murderous hotel—" “NJONSIEUR,” gasped Lovschiem parenthetically. “An unlucky accident. Only an accident.” “—than let us go ‘o a safer place, It's outrageous. What can we do about it, Lorn? There was a moment before Lorn replied. He seemed to be eeeking some way out of 1t, judging from the thoughtful, remote look In his dark eyes. | was thinking of Lovschiem's curious use of the word accident. It was a flagrant understatement. All that horror snmmed up in the one word accident! Then it occurred to me that per- haps he used the word for the sim- ple reason that that was exactly what he meant. Perhaps it had been | largely accident trom his point of wew. An accident wtich had ‘set awry his carefully laid plans that had only righted themselves to be—or | was no judge of looks—set at odds agdin by this unlooked-for tenacious- ness on the part cf the police, But again | asked myself why he 'Had wanted Sue to leave at once with her brother. Was it possible that 1 was all wrong in my judg- ment of Lovscheim? Had been wrong from the oeginning? Was it possible that he was merely an interested but sincere friend to the girl—had known noth. ing of her inheritance, nothing of the things that threatened her, noth- ing of the whole ugly affair? “There is nothing we can do just now but wait,” said Lorn finally. He spoke quietly but with a slight air of reservation. “Wait!” exclaimed Francis Tally impatiently, “Waiting seems to be all that any of you have been doing. | Wait! What for? More murders?” “I assure you it has been enforced waiting,” 1 said. “And no pleasanter for us than it will be for you.” He turned slowly toward me. His spectacles winked in the light, and there were hard lines suddenly about his eyes and thin mouth. “Well,” he sald, “it's a little dit- ferent with you. 1 understand you are actually under suspicion.” “Not at all” Sue’s words came crisp'and clear. “Not at all, Francls. Mr. Sundean was a victim of a mis- take on the part of the police. He is entirely cleared.* “Really,” sald Francls, with only faint skepticism, 8ue's cheeks went pink, and 1 sald quickly: “Your Mr. Lorn helped me out of it* “H'mm,” observed Francls, look- ing at Lorn, and Lorn Immediately said: i *“I id so at Miss Tally’s requ: It aid not—interfere I'm"l‘ m;"—ol—m other dutles.” (Gopyright. 1933, Mignon G, Eberhart) | You may now leave my poor hotel. | An Ink biot that vanishe, & share, tomorrow, in the mystesy: LIEUT.
