A—-8 P (.B.5. TODESCRRE| WIRING OF PHOTOS From New York to D. C. to Be Explained. A demonstration of the new high- speed Associated Press Wirephoto Service to newspapers of the Nation will be described over the network of ! the Columbia Broadcasting System tomorrow from 10:30 to 1045 am. The broadcast will be directed by Norris A. Huse, executive editor of the Assoicated Press News Service. “Hot” news pictures, through the news service maintained by the A. P., can be transmitted to major cities of the United States within eight min- utes. Columbia has arranged, through the Associated Press, to give the radio audience a description of the actual transmission of a photograph from New York to Washington, D. C. TLe photo will be sent from the New York offices of the great news-gather- ing organization to its Washington bureau. A columbia announcer stationed in New York will give a detail-by-detail description of the process. The pro- gram will start in New York and switch to Washington as the picture is transmitted. A Columbia announcer in the Nation’s Capital will describe the reception of the picture, and Huse will be interviewed informally con- cerning the new picture service. He | vill answer questions pertaining to the ! workings of the new equipment which makes it possible to transmit news events graphically as fast as they can be described verbally. The news photo department of the | Associated Press will inaugurate this new service to newspapers in 24 of the Nation's key cities tomorrow. With the new sensitive machinery, it will be possible to transmit a photo to any part of the United States within 8 minutes.

I was in the act of brushing my hair when the gong sounded, and as I came out into the hall, Molly emerged from the opposite bed room. Swathed in a dressing gown at least three sizes too large for her, she looked comically pretty. “Good morning, Nick,” she said cheerfully. “I hope you had a good night.” “Slept like a top,” I replied. you?” She made a little grimace. “The headache’s gone, but I've still got a funny taste in my mouth. “Breakfast will cure that,” I as- sured her. “How's the cheek?” “It feels rather stiff and sore.” She tilted up her face. “Am I a dreadful sight?” 1 inspected her carefully. “You look lovely,” I said. “Like an angel on her way to the bath room.” “Angels don't have baths,” she ob- jected. “They——oh, here’s Jerry!” “Hello, Molly!” He had come out | of the study, followed by Jimmy, who, in his crumpled livery, and with his tousled hair, still seemed to be only half awake. “This is a nice sort of trick to play on a chap!” he continued. “Getting yourself drugged and kid- naped when I wasn't here to rescue “And “Sorry, Jerry.” She dropped him a penitent curtsy. “It was horribly careless of me, wasn't it?

It was Mr. Trench who sloshed ‘im—not me, miss.” We all laughed. “Never mind,” said Jerry consol- | | on the cheek. ingly. “You got the prize anyhow. Now cut along to the kitchen and Dawson will give you some breakfast.” He slipped his arm through Molly’s. “For pity’s sake, let's go in and make | a start. I was up at 6 o'clock this morning and I'm simply famished.” Faced with a steaming dish of eggs, bacon and sausages, I found that my own appetite was by no means to be despised. I ladled out three generous helpings while Jerry attended to the coffee, and dumped one of them down in front of Molly. “Get your teeth into that, partner,” I said, “and when you feel a bit stronger you can tell us how it all happened.” “I am ready to start now,” she re- plied. “I can talk and eat at the same time.” With a familiar gesture she brushed back the lock of copper-colored hair which had fallen forward across her forehead. “You mustn’t mind my being a bit | vague about things. I suppose it was the stuff they gave me, but somehow or other it all seems like a bad dream.” She took a sip from the cup which Jerry handed her. “I had been up in 1ay room:.:; whole evening reading ginning to undress, when I suddenly came over all queer and giddy. “I tried to get to the door, but I suppose I must have tumbled down. Anyhow, I don’t remember anything more until I woke up feeling terribly sick and found on the bed in that horrible little room with Orloff and Dimitri bending over me. “I didn’t know where I was or how I'd got there, and I'd no time to think. They started on me straight away. It was Orloff who did the talk- ing while Dimitri just stood by looking at me. I shall never forget the ex- pression in his eyes”—(she shivered)— “it was loathsome.” Jerry muttered something under his breath. “What did Orloff say to you?” I de- manded. She knitted her forehead. “TI've been trying so hard to remember. I was half stupid, you see, and it’s all jumbled up and confused. I know he asked me any amount of questions about the formula. “He wanted to know where Nick had hidden it, and what the paper is like it’s written on, and whether we were trying to sell it to Sir William Avon. All the time he was question- | ing me he kept on squeezing and‘ pinching my arm. It hurt so I could | hardly help screaming. She pulled up the sleeve of her | dressing gown and a muffled oath es- caped from Jerry’s lips. Just above the elbow two or three livid bruises stood out against the white skin. | “I wish I'd seen those last night,” | I said savagely. “I'd have lmlshed‘ that swine’s face in.” “Go on,” said Jerry gruffly. else had the hound to say?” “He told me that I was to write a ‘ note asking Nick to give him the for- mula. He said that otherwise I should be put on a barge and taken down | to a Russian ship that's lying in the | river, and that once I was there they'd | soon make me do whatever I was or- | dered. “Well, as I knew you hadn’t got | the formula, and it couldn't possibly‘ make any difference, I agreed to write it. As soon as I'd finished it, he started questioning me again. “He wanted to find out about this | place Hambridge and why we were going there. When I said I didn't | know, they tied me down to the bed, and it was then that I got this cut | “What “After that I think I must have | fainted, because the next thing I re- member is hearing a noise in the hall | and seeing Nick's torch as he came in | at the door.” | i Jerry scooped out some marmalade | and dug back the spoon viciously into the pot. .“We ought both to be kicked. | We should never have left her there | after that business with the waiter. It's plain enough, the blighter heard what we said. He must have given them the tip that we were thinking of clearing out, and I suppose they made up their minds to grab hold of ker while they had the chance.” “Well, don't worry about it,” said Molly soothingly. “The important thing is what are we going to do now?” | “Carry on, of course. We must see this farmer and his wife—though I | don’t suppose we shall get much out | of them. Anyhow, you'll be safer on the Seagull than anywhere else.” East to Have Mild, Dry Winter, Says Famed Broker-Prophet By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 31.—You'd like to know whether it’s to be a tough ‘Winter? Call' Tony Barrett, at the Chicago Board of Trade. He'll tell you. Third of the famous Barretts of the grain pit, Anthony Barrett is doing business in that same oracular toga his elder brother wore for years as in. “We can’t leave them at the Milan. If they don’t get any message from her they’ll probably think she’s dead and hand them over to the police.” Jerry reflected for a moment. “You must scribble them a line,” he said, turning to Molly, “and I'll send Daw- son round with it, now. Ask them to hand him over your luggage. You can explain that I'm taking care of your things until you're out of the hospital.” * I presented George, who was sit- ting beside me, with my last piece of bacon. “Do you mean to start for Leigh at once, then?” He nodded. “Sooner we get a move on the better. The boat’s quite ready. I've stocked her up with enough food for three or four days, and if the | wind’s right we can slip round on the | evening tide. By the way, I suppose you've got those keys?” “Yes,” I said, “they’re in my bed room. Avon sent them round yester- day.” “Good!” He sat for a moment | staring thoughtfully in front of him; | then his features relaxed in a sudden | characteristic grin. “Funny how keen | one gets about a thing! I shall never | be really happy until we dig out this blessed formula.” The “syndicate” starts, tomorrow, on a dangerous sail. the long-range weather prophet of the board. He stepped out of the bustling wheat pit today long enough to give his wary forecast for the rest of the Winter in these United States. It covered the next 90 days after the “ember days” of :Je‘iember, the 19th to the 22d. Here t is: East Central States—a cold Winter and little moisture. West Central States—not so cold, moisture. Eastern States—a mild Winter, and dry. Gulf States—mild Winter, with moisture. Mountain States—not so cold, some ‘moisture. Pacific States—warm and dry Winter. Canadian Provinces— not so cold, with some snow. ‘The youngest of the trio is not the gambler that was John FP. Barrett, who died in 1932 after 50 years of trading on. the board. John had a Nation-wide following as a long-range forecaster and won $1250 in bets from fellow traders on his prediction that Chicago would have no zero weather in 1930-1. Anthony won't lay a bet. How does he do it? “That’s a secret,” said Barrett. “My brother John learned the sys- | tem years ago from a Canadian trap- per and a sea captain.” 95 cor winen ToOLUMBIA Real Estate Loans No Commission Charged 6% Camm:ssmn Charged You Can Take 12 Years to Pay Off Your Loan Without the Expense of Renewing $1,000 for $10 Per Month Tncluding Interest and Principal Parger or Smaller Loans at Proportionate Rates Perpetual Building Association Established 1881 Largest in Washington Assets Over $32,500,000 Corner JAMES BERRY, President lith and E Sts.

Prone DIsTriCT 5300 We are pleased to have had such a splendid increase in our business during 1934. It is proof to us that the standard of quality we have maintained during nearly 55 years—never relinquished even in the trying years from which we are just emerging—is the standard which Washington wants and expects us to observe. We value most highly this confidence and this friendliness which we believe emanates from a likeness of interest and a belief in the same standards and ideals. We view 1935 with renewed hope and courage—have great faith in the future of Washington and the Nation, tangible evidence of which was the installation of the Electric Stairway, and other improvements. The im- mediate acceptance of this mode of transportation convinces us that it met a very definite need. Deaths Reported. Laura B. Arthur, California st. Michael ‘D 1.
