The forum, arranged by The Wash- ington Star, will be broadcast from 10:30 to 11 o'clock. A member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Lewis sees increased armaments as a threat to international peace. Failure of the nations signatory to the naval limitations treaty to agree upon terms for its extension, and existing con- ditions in Europe and in the Ocient, make his address of timely interest. * ok ok X ADIO programs come and go but Clara, Lu 'n’ Em gossip on for- ever. ‘The girls have just signed a new contract for 1935, which will go into effect January 1, and puts them well into the fifth year on the air for the same Sponsor.

He pointed to the door. he rasped. “Get out quick, before 1 break your neck!” For a rash instant Kilner seemed inclined to continue the discussion. His lips opened, and then, just as he at all three of us, he sidled hastily from the room. I strolled after him and locked the door. “Quite an exciting little spisode!” I observed as I came back. “Just shows how careful one ought to be.” Jerry shook his head. ‘“Avon was right,” he growled. “We are mutts, and we deserve to be kicked—all the lot of us.” “What do you mean?” asked Molly. “Do you think he’s one of Orlofl's people?” “Not & doubt of it. An ordinary hotel waiter would never have the nerve to do a thing of that sort.” He . took a couple of paces toward the window, and then wheeled round. “Some Russian who's probably posing whole of Europe *I wish we knew how much he'd overheard,” I remarked “If he was listening the time—" “I don’t think he was,” broke in Jerry. “I belleve he went off for a bit and then sneaked back. Anyhow, I saw the door move; that's what at- tracted my attention.” “Well, whatever the damage i, it's done now,” I pointed out. *“Seems to me our best plan is to keep quiet. Molly’s going to be here for another couple of days, and if we complain to the manager it will probably get all round the hotel. We don't want to have everybody talking and gossiping about her.” “There's something in that,” admit- ted Jerry. “All the same, I'd like to know who this skunk is, and where they got him from.” “I can probably find out,” I said with a sudden inspiration. “You re- member that kid I spoke to on my way up?” He nodded. “He's s sort of protege of mine.

We can trust him absolutely.” “Right yoy are,” said Jerry. “You get ahead with it. Molly and I will g0 back to the flat, and you can join us there. Then we'll take George for & walk and have tea in the park.” “I don't think I shall ever want to eat again,” protested Molly. “You gave me such s huge lunch.” “You must have tes,” said Jerry firmly. “T've booked a table at Oiro’s tonight, and one can't dance on an empty tummy.” ‘We walted for a minute while Molly powdered her nose and put on a hat, &nd then, making our way to the end of the corridor, walked down the broad, deserted staircase. As we ar- rived at the bottom I saw Jimmy on the opposite side of the lounge. I gave him an encouraging nod, and, leaving the others to make their exit, walked over to an untenanted corner. He had evidently thought out his preparations, for, disappearing promptly through an adjoining door- way, he emerged a moment later car- ry:nz & neatly tied brown paper par- cel. “These are them, sir,” he whispered, coming scross to where I was waiting. “They ain't up to much—just & few :;xmnoum-.

Several tons more of the grain will be distributed after the first snowfall. It was the gift of an anonymous donor, and was dropped over favored retreats of wild fowl in Essex, Morris and Passaic Counties. — said, “and I'll let you know what I think about them tomorrow. Look here, Jimmy,” I added. “You can keep a quiet tongue in your head, can’t you?” He nodded. “I want you to help me,” I went on. “There’s & waiter here who calls him- self Kilner—Jacob Kilner. while ago, when I was upstairs with that lady and gentleman who have Just gone out, we found him listening outside the door. As it happens we were talking about somethnig very private. I'm not going to make a fuss, or anything of that sort, but if it’s possible I'd like to find out who he is and where they got him from.” His eyes brightened. “I can do that for you, sir,” he said eagerly. “Some of the chaps here are sure to know.” “I'll be most grateful if you will, Jimmy,” I said, “but you must be precious eareful how you set to work. I don't want Kilner to guess that I'm making inquiries about him.” ‘c nv- it away, sir.

Now I don’t suppose that any one will inter- fere with her here, but all the same, these people are an ugly lot, and I'd feel happler if I knew that there was somebody in the hotel who would let me know at once in case anything ‘went wrong.

Jerry must have £ why urging you to face facts!” broke in Prudence. ‘“Jerry Black hasn’t half your ability, but he’s your boss, at six thousand . year! If you'd be serious—" “Never more serious in my life,” drawled Tom. “And especially after that pep talk Jerry handed me this morning. ‘Assert yourself, Tom!' he orated. ‘You're not falling down or standing up! You're running around nights, when you ought to be burning the midnight oil planning ways to market Upshootos! And don't think the boss isn't wise! Now get out an’ hit the ball!’” “And—and what did you say?” —— | questioned Prudence anxiously. “He didn’t give me a chance to say anything,” complained Tom. “He grabbed his grip an’ dashed out of the office, leaving me to hold down his job while he's gone. What say we knock off for the day an’ go to a movie?” Prudence seemed on the verge of tears. “Would that be fair to Jerry?” she questioned coldly. “Business is terribly dull.

If you'd just be more like Jerry—" “I know what you think of him,” put in Tom grimly. “I thought for a while it was me, Prue, but I guess—" He strode abruptly from the office. There were a dozen salesmen in the home territory, and Jerry was hardly 5 | out of town when sales went haywire. Tom was avalanched with alibis and excuses. It was the dull time of year, and there was little demand for Up- shooto parasols and umbrellas, which shot up by pressing a button on the handle. (You touched a button, and, prestol—you were under the umbrella or parasol—if the spring worked. If not you were out of luck.) It hadn't rained for a month and the weather was foggy. Nobody wanted umbrellas to keep off water or parasols to sidetrack sunshine. Prudence was very unhappy. She questioned Tom about his future, but he evaded the subject. “All I can think about is you,” he answered gloomily. FLIGHTS TO 60,000 FEET ARE PLANNED IN RUSSIA By the Associated Press.
