RULES ARE RULES By Edmond H. Vanwinkle. SCH")ULE time from 8.cra- mento to Oaxland is half an hour. Dick Williams made it in 18 minutes flat. He snapped the switches before the last passenger had alighted, stepped from the huge plane, grin- ning. There wasn't @ pilot with the Palmer Airlines who wouldn't cut time for a girl like Dody Prentice. But then, Dick had ex- clusive rights on the new division manager’s daugh- ter. He would find her in the airport lunch room. He was half way across the field when suddenly a big man with an iron face barged for- ward. Dick stopped and held out his hand. “Why, hello, Mr. Prentice— 1, I didn't know you were here.” The manager'’s face was red with | rage as he ignored the out-| stretched hand. “Williams, you're | fired! Fired!” “W—w—what?" | “You heard me! I was put on this line to put an end to those smash- ups. Safety-first is my motto, and you knew it.” . “But, Mr. Prentice,” Dick argued, his eyes focusing on a familiar flzurel\ waiting at the lunch room. “I'm on | time. This is surely a joke, I—" | “On time!” the manager roared. | “You're too darned early. Rules are | rules. Williams—our pasengers must | be protected at any—" | “But, I've mever had a crack-up.” | Dick interrupted. “My record is clear. | You can't fire A man that—" | “Can't I'" The manager's face was | white. “I'm sorry, Williams—you're | through!” * % % x BEP‘ORE he left that night, Dick went to see Dody. “Dad is wrong, dear—he, he's hard-headed. He always was.” “Then come with me, darling. I've | got a wire from the Lane port to come at once, and they are offering me more money.” He tried to keep his voice steady. “Of course, Dody, I'd rather stay here, but your father—" He saw her heart in her face as she glanced up at him. “I do love you, Dick, but dad—I can't leave him—he’s been so good to me.” Her eyes were moist. “Can’t you see, Dick? With mother already gone, he needs me.” Giving Dody up was the most pain- ful moment in Dick Willlams® life. As he gathered his belongings, he fought against the memory of their brief span of happiness and the in- justice of his sudden discharge. Leav- ing Dody was far more terrifying than his first power dives or tail spins as a student fiyer. ¢ He decided that if he couldn't fiy to the Lane port as a pilot, he cer- tainly wouldn't ride as a passenger. By train would be slower, but less humiliating. After his cab reached the downtown station and he had purchased a ticket, Dick had a sud- den desire for one of those old power dives; one that would carry him to eternity. * x ¥ ¥ UDDENLY, his reflections were broken inte by an echoing call JAPANESE FETED BY PEACE GROUP Juiji G. Kasai Is Tendered Lunch- eon Here by Carnegie Unit. Jiufi G. Kasai, member of the House of Representatives of Japan, was honor guest yesterday at a luncheon given by the Carnegie En- dowment for International Peace, at the Cosmos Club. Since his graduation from the Uni- versity of Chicago in 1913, Kasai has been prominently associated with several international organizations and also, has served his own govern- ment in numerous positions of re- sponsibility. Guests at the luncheon included Dr. James Brown Scott, trustee and secretary of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Representa- tive Sol Bloom of New York, John Esch, president of the American Peace Society; Gideon A. Lyon, as- sociate editor of The Star; K. K. Kawakami, Japanese newspaper cor- respondent stationed here; Prof. Earle H. Ketcham of Syracuse University, Dr. Boyd Carpenter of the George- town School of “Come with me, darling.” Foreign Service, | i Lester H. Woolsey, Col. Burnett, Henry C. Morris. Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American Union; Seijiro ‘Yoshizawa, counselor of the Japanese Embassy; Robert Lincoln O’Brien, chairman of the Tariff Commission; FPrederick William Wile, Eugene H. Charles throughout the station: “Richard Willlams — tele- phone—Richard ‘Williams! Inside the booth he felt suddenly cramped as he picked up the re- ceiver: “Wil= liams?” It was Prentice. A sudden fear as- sailed him. Something wrong. His hands were shaking as he re- plied. ‘The voice at the other end was crisp and trembling. “There isn't & re- serve pilot on duty. For God's sake, hurry!” Williams swayed against the wall. “Don’t tell me it's Dody!” He heard the click of a re- ceiver as he dashed from the booth. The rest was one long, hideous nightmare; the mad dash to the air- port in a careening cab; Dody’s limp body being carried on a stretcher to the waiting plane; her father grah- bing him by the shoulders, wild-eyed like a man gone isane, shouting like a madman. “Sacramento, Willlams— our only hope—I, I know a specialist there.” That word “our” beat intc Dick's brain as he turned the big plane around and taxied back to the upper end of the immense flying field. Dear God, give him speed, speed! He set a compass course straight for Sacramento. Prentice was beside him, leaving Dody for the moment. “We had a quarrel. She took a taxi— said she couldn't live without you, Williams. They hit a truck in the subway. Turned over.” The big man's vojce caught. “God, she’s got to live, Dick—for you and for me.” % % x THE air-speed indicator read 180 when Dick saw lights ahead and far below dimmed under 10,000 feet of light fog. He tucked the nose down and started dropping away for the field. 4 “For you and for me,” Prentice had said. He was up front again, shout- ing. “Watch your landing, son, we can't afford to take any—" “Shut up!” Dick heard himself commanding. “Rules are rules, and I'm giving them. Get back there and watch Dody,” he snapped. Ages later an ambulance carried them to the hospital. The painful hours of waiting, of wondering, of dreading, dragged on and on. The ether, white starched uniforms sweep- ing by, faint groans of pain, some- where; a blurred vision of Dody slip- ping away, gently, slowly, were as a dream. The door across the corridor opened. “You may come in now,” the doctor whisered solemnly. Prentice thrust his twentieth cirgarette in the tray on the table. Dick dropped a helmet of ribbons on the bench. “God, give me strength!” he prayed under his breath. Her eyes fluttered open for a mo- ment as Dick bent over the bed. She smiled faintly, and her voice was soft: “Don’t leave me, Dick.” Dick heard the doctor’s answer to the questioning look in her father’s eyes: “She’ll live!” He felt Prentice’s hand on his shoul- der. “You heard what she said, Wil- liams. Rules are rules.” (Copyright, 1938.) Dooman of the State Department, Rev. Russell J. Clinchy of Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, Robert Smyth, Arthur D. Call, secre- tary of the American Peace Society, and George A. Finch, assistant secre- tary of the Carnegie Endowment. LAID OFF FROM WORK BY CONSTIPATION “For four years I suffered from constipation. I had gotten so weak I had to lay off from work. My doc- tor told me to use Kellogg's ALL- BRAN. Since then, my grocery list has never been complete without it.”"— Mr. A. W. Murphy, 1010 16th 8t., Tuscaloosa, Alabama. ‘This delicious cereal will give you the same, sure relief. Laboratory tests prove it's safe.
