All sorts of things are happening to Ashtoreth Ashe. First, she gets herself engaged to a multi-million- aire—the famous Hollis Hart. Then an ex-sweetheart, Monty English, appears upon the scene. Ashtoreth leaves Hollis In New York, and returns by train to Bos- ton, following their arrival in America from a cruise to the West Indies. Hollis means to fly to Dos- ton. When Ashtoreth reaches home, - learns that Monty is also flying that night to Boston, determined he wires, to see her on an important matter, Aslgoreth and her mother, with Sadie Morton, are listening to the radie when the broadcaster of the Noston News announces that a plane, in flight from New York to!

Actually the house of commons makes the. laws because the king supports its decisions and the commons control the lords with the threat of creating any number of peers needed to pass a bill through the house of lords should the vp- per house prove recal ‘trant.

From this source come the scandals. Be- ing essentially dishonest, he does not hesitate te whisper of ‘throw- ing games,’ knowing nothing of the honor of the American boy.” The Vanderbilt coach urges par- ents to encourage athletic contests for children, *I glory.” he says, “in the influence of the athletic field of America.

If he i% not in a school, the home or a church he is safer on the athletic field than any place T know of because there he must take discipline, he will de- velop his mind. he will bring for- ward a strong, enduring body. His loyalty courage, self-control, self- eftacement, all will be strengthened. He will be in an atmasphere of high- | mindedness, of firm resolve.” The coach belicves participation in athletics no handicap to scholas- tic aetivities. “Onc player fold me.” McGugin says, “that lic made the best grades during the football season.
