Ashtoreth Aashe, poor but beau- | titul (a stenographer from Boston). meets Death while cruising througn the Caribbean. Her roommate, Mona de Musser, a beautiful and mysterious laay, dies following a hemorrhage. She has been very good to Ashtoretn and has given her many beautiful gifts. She has also protected her from the amorous advances of an Englishman named Jack Smythe, who writes books about the women he woos. Following Mona's death Ashtoreth learns that her lovery roommate was a rather notorlous nusic hall entertainer in Paris. A few hours after Mona's beau- tiful body is taken ashore at Guade- loupe, the boat puts in &t Domini- ca. Wandering alone about the streets, Ashtoreth sees a white man ccming toward her and recognizes him as Hollls Hart, her millionaire | employer. They are both delighted, | and exceedingly surprised. They go to a litue tea house for | ices and Ashtoreth tells the ex- citing story of the voyage. Some | passengers from the boat drop in and ignore her so pointedly that Ashoreth is impelled to confess | that they all treat her like the d!l’lf beneath their feet. “But. why?" demands Mr. Hart tn | dumbfounded astonishment. ‘ NOW GO ON WITH THE CHAPTER XXIV Ashtoreth wrung her hands ner- STORY vousy:. 11 tell you wh she cried. “They just think they're too good for me—that’s what they think!" “But why?" he demanded. “And why do you care, my dear?

MISS TROUT HOLDS AVATION RECORD Girl of 18 Establishes Woman's Endurance Mark Los Angeles, Jan. 3 (M—An 18- year-old Los Angeles girl aviator stepped into the limelight today holding a new endurance flight rec- ord for women.

As she was about to land, flood- lights revealed to Miss Trout that she might have trouble in keeping her plane clear of the crowd. She circled and landed at the far edge of the lighted zone and taxied back |in the direction of her welcomers, but wheeled about again as they | broke through police lines and shut down her motor the instant the {plane came to a stop. This won the applause of the seasoned fliers. ‘Wants Food Her first thought was of food. “I feel fine,” she said as she Sibelius | 4,51 n0d out of the plane to greet her mother. “I could go to a dance.

Most of the telephone booths in ho- tels, drug stores and other places ‘were closed to the public because of contract differences between the owners and the lllinois Bell Tele- phone company. Old contracts between the phone company and the hotels and business places, which had been in effect 30 years, provided for a guarantee of four phone calls & day on each tele phone, dividing the fees for all over that guarantee equally between the company and the subscriber. New contracts, against which the subscribers now are in revolt, elim- inate the guarantee and provide that the company shall take 77% cents out of every dollar, with 2215 cents for the subscriber. Loss Great Hotel and drug store owners, hav- ing many booths, declare this rep- resents a great loss of revenue, 8maller subscribers, however, who formerly received only 20 per cent of the receipts above the guarantee, will benefit. The larger subscribers point out in this connection that the ones who would benefit under the | new contracts are a negligible mi- | nority. Downtown hotels drug and de- partment stores have approximately 6,000 booths. Francls X Busch, counsel for the Chicago Retail Druggists’ associa- tion, said profits would be increased about $200,000 for the Telephone company, if the new contract were to prevail. The association is under- stood to be united in its stand against the new arrangement. J. K. Blatchford, secretary of the Chicago Hotel association, said no public telephone service will be pro- vided in the 30 hotels represented in the organization until a settlement is reached. “The hotels did not stop the service,” said E. J. Stevens of the Stevens hotel. "It was the Tele- phone company. Tt threw out the old contract and told us to take the new one. The booths were taking up valuable space, 8o we decided to take them out.” There was considerable confusion {1ast night when phone users found booths in the hotels “out of order.” No Action Alderman Jacob Arvey, chairman of the gas, oil and electricity com- inittee of the city council, said the jcouncil would take no action as it |lacked authority. He pointed out that the dispute had arisen on the eve of an anticipated fight between the phone company and the council over renewal of the company's fran- chise, which expired Tuesday. The {company contends it should pay the |city three per cent of its met re- | ceipts, and the council seeks re- newal of the present franchise, calling for three per cent of the gross receipts. GEAT AGITATION IN 192 FORECAST Paris Se¢r Predicts Many Events of World Interest Parie, Jan. 3. (UP)—The year 1929 will be marked by the death of a King, by the passing of twe very important French political personages and two world famous men of letters and enough airplane, mine, railroad and steamship acci- dents to keep the newspapers sup- plied with front page news. All that was apparent in the crys- tal ball to Madame Fraya, the French prophet who has become famous ‘ever since she predicted, a year ago, the tragic death of the | Belgian millionaire-banker Aufred Loewenstein. “The new year will be one of great agitation” Madame Iraya told the United Press today. “France particularly will suffer because many men are hungry for powe he present French cabl- ret will tumble, but n of its members will come back into pow- er. “There will be many scandals In society and fin . a great in- crease in crimes and divorces.

The outstanding deatn FINE FOR CHILDREN ! will be that of a King very friendly to France.” Ever since M. Loewenstein fell to his death in the Channel from his airplane, the fame of Madame Fraya has spread and the-worla, including many Americans has beaten a path to her door. Her bank account has been materially fattened. “Hundreds of American women are among my visitors,” Madame Fraya told the United Press. “Lik | women, they want te know about love affairs. But while French women need to love, Amer. icans need to be loved. American worhen, in general, are the luckiest in the world. They bring good for- tune to those they love most.” TUAHORN CLATHS REFUELING MARK Stays Up 11 Hows Getting Gas From Ground Marshall, Mo., Jan. 3 (P—Al- though failing to break the world's | refueling endurance flight record in their tiny open cockpit monoplane, Blaine M.

Wednesday on a frigid flight into sub-zero temperatures landed at 7:45 p. m. last night after their plane had descended too low to drop a note, and its wheels had skimmed fthe dimly-lighted, snow covered fleld. The flight lasted 10 hours, 5¢ minutes and 10 successful contacts were made with the refuelling de- vice, during which 32 gallons of gas- oline, a gallon of oil, fo1d, messages, equipment and parts were taken aboard. Brings it Down Rhiner was at the controls when the plane accidentally touched the earth. . Although observers did not see the landing wheels spin, Tux: horn, the chief pilot, realized his craft had been disqualified and brought it down. His sportsmanship in ruling himself out of a chance at the cherished' record was praised by Hayden Campbell of St. Joseph, of- ficial observer, and the builders of th: trim little Barling monoplane which he used. Tuxhorn's synchronized -catapult is electrically operated to hurl the fuel or supply container into the air when the pick up is made, giving it momentum to offset the jerk of the plane.

ATTENPT TO STOP ADDRESS FALS School Board in Washington Won't Bar Speaker Washington, Jan. 3 UP—A last minute attempt by several nationally known patriotic organisations te prevent an address in the Central High school tonight by Normaa Angell, author and lecturer, whe they characterized as a “menace to national defense and one interna- tionally known as a pacifist,” failed when the school board declined to act. Members of the board =zaid last night that they hesitated to take any action that might “abrogate th right to free speech as guaranteed under the constitution.” The daughters of the American Revolution, the Nrtional Patriotia league and the woman's patriotic ore ganization were among those rep- resented in the opposition to Angell, and H. Ralph Burton, spokesman for them, said he also represented in spirit the American Legion. He charged Angell's views on pacifism and socialism are closely allied with the principles of communism.
