Lynda finds an old school ac- quaintance, Claire Stanhope, work- ing in the office, and asks her to come and live with her. Ralph Armitage sends for Lynda to come to his office. NOW GC ON WITH THE CHAFTER X111 LYNDA HAS A NEW JOB “Will he never speak?” Lynda asked herself, as Ralph Armitage continued to regard her curiously. At that moment a peculiar smile started at the corner of his mouth and traveled like a ray of light to his eves, “You are really very small and very young, Miss Fenton,” he said. “I'm over ninetecn, and Miss Gal- lop told me yesterday that I was a very good stenographer—as good as any in the office.” “Yes, she told me the same thing. and the last few days she has been testing you out, at my request.” Lynda’s head bowed. She was al- most sure that he was going to tell her she would not do. “I don't mind working overtime until T learn the routine of the of- tice,” she impulsively exclaimed, “If you will give me a little time I'm sure I can satisfy you, Mr. Armi- tage.” “You satisfy me now, Miss Fen- her nt STORY in her ynda sat up straigh whether she chair.

In the southwest end of the horse- shoe stadium on an improvised plat- form, a citizen of Palo Alto—the most distinguished graduate of Stan- ford—will hold the attention of 90,- 080 persons. Herbert Hoover, who worked his way through the engineering college from 1891 to 1895, will be notified cfficially he is the choice of the re- publican party for the presidency and he will make his address of ac- ceptance. Palo Alto, accustomed to enter- taining crowds, will be taxed to ac- commodate those who will come to | this college town to take part in the event. Already the committee in charge has experts in the art of handling crowds at work on the details of “notification day.” The policing of the stadium, its approaches and the roads into Palo Alto has been placed in the hands of a special committee under the di- rection of Alfred R. Masters, univer- sity graduate manager, who handles football crowds each year. Shirley Baker, the engineer who built the stadium, will erect the speaker's platform. Specialists will install many telephone and telegraph wires for transmissoin of the news of the notification. The speakers’ stand will be so lo- cated, Baker said, that every person in the bowl will have an unbroken view of Hoover while he is speaking. His words will be carried over a public address system. Those in charge are confident that between 90,000 and 100,000 will at- tend the ceremony and arrangements have been made to enlarge the seat- ing capacity accordingly. The notification will climax Hoov- er's homecoming to Palo Alto, which will start when he enters the town next Friday. The Hoover special train will be met I'riday at Truckee, a mountain town near the Nevada border, where Governor Young, other state digni- taries and California’s entire con- gressional delegation will greet the nominee. Brief stops are scheduled at Sac- ramento, California's capital, and a Oakland. About noon the party will cross San IFrancisco Bay on a special ferry. A caravan of decorated auto- mobiles will file to the city hall, where Hoover will speak briefly from the balcony. Then the parade will proceed 37 miles down the peninsula to Palo Alto. President Ray Lyman Wilbur of Stanford and Dean Theodore Hoover of the engineering school, a brother of the nominee, are directing plans for Hoover's reception. The reception committee includes many long-standing friends of Hoov- er and some who were his fellow students in Stanford. Hoover is expected to reply briefly to his welcome and then retire to his home. He has said that he plans an out- ing in the mountains near Placer- ville before the notification date.

PHILIPPINE LAWS NEEDING CHANGES Complete Revision Is Urged by Governor General Manila, July 17 (A—A thorough going revision of the land and cor- poration laws of the Philippine Islands “to bring them up to a parity with modern legislation” was urged yesterday by Governor General Stim- son at the opcning of the new ses- sion of the insular legislature. With regard to this modernization of corporation law, Mr. Stimson said it was necessary *'so as to insure the people who are willing to lend mon- ey to you that the enterprise in which they invest will be thoroughly, justly and equitably treated.” As to land law revision the ogver- nor general said: “At the present rate with which the agricultural land of these islands is being dis- tributed among their people, it will be 400 years before that great asset, the great guardian of the peoples’ stability is fully put to use, This is not conservation; this is waste, Colonel Stimson said ‘“certain thoughtless critics” had sought to arouse suspicion with the argument that to invite the help of American capital “would be to institute eco- nomic serfdom to America.” “It would be hard to conceive a more serious error,” he went on “By exciting an unfounded fear, these critics would block the only avenue towards economic, and therefore po- litical independence of these islands, “The Philippine Islands today stand in much the same economic situation as the United States stood 104 years ago. We in America were then posgessors of the boundless re- sources of a great continent, but we were poor and lacked means to de- velop those resources. We borrowed freely from Europe, including many countries with whose political insti- tutions we had no sympathy and even held in profound distrust. Is America in economic serfdom to- day? In speaking of the land distribu- tion problem the governor general sald he had been a ploneer of con- servation of natural resources, par- ticularly water power in the United States and that no measure in the Philippines calculated to squander such resources “will ever knowingly be favored or approved by me.” As to the laws restricting corpor- ation activities, he sald the exist- ing Philippine statutes were “intro- duced a generation ago from the United Stdtes under the influence of theories then prevailing but which have long since been exploded in the land of their origin.” “I believe that American capital has learned the unwisdom and the danger of attempting unfairly to ex- et MY MILLON WELL TAKE ne AND WELL STOP OFF IN NEVER M.
