Brown Juvenile Shoplifters This is the season of holly, peace on earth, good will toward to-ward men, mistletoe and shoplifters. Every year stores mark up a heavy loss to petty sneak thieves who take ad van-, tage of the Yuletide bustle. A large number of shoplifters belong to the professional class. Their tricks are cunning their loot large. Like other criminals, they are usually caught. But there also is a large group of children who are arrested every vea-p-for shoplifting. Most of them don't need the loot they steal. Many of them come from respectable families. Again we blame the parents. Those children do not know the difference between right and wrong. They have not learned that property rights must be respected A few moments of such training will reap many years of reward when the child becomes a mature, useful citizen. Buy Christmas Seals Our copper pennies take on new importance this month. For one cent we may purchase a tiny, colorful sticker an ArftrvTuberculosis league Christmas seal. TJhese seals are decorative. Place them on Christmas packages. Seal your letters with them. For they are more than decorative. Each seal is another round of ammunition in the fight against tuberculosis. Ninety-five cents out of every dollar collected in the campaign cam-paign remains in its home state. Since the start of the league's campaign several years ago. tuberculosis has dropped from first place as the cause of death in the United States to seventh. Buy as many Christmas seals as you can afford and use them ! Cupid's Recovery We have heard a great deal about the various deficits which have been piled up during the depression years Probably Prob-ably the oldest of all is the one discovered by the University 'of Chicago sociologists, who report that since 1930 we have run up a deficit of marriages and divorces. The sociologists are Professors Samuel Stouffer and Lyle M. Spencer, and they explain that, because of the hard times. 748,000 couples who ordinarily would have married, remained single, -whUe 17,000 nvarried couples who ordinarily ordinar-ily would have been divorced, stayed married. The divorce deficit is one that we can afford to leave as is, or even to increase ; but the marriage deficit needs settling, and it is comforting to learn that even now it is going down. The professors find that 1935 was the "marryingest" vear in our history, with 1.327.000 weddings, and they believe that the 1936 record will be even better. Let's hope that it continues, and that our current overproduction over-production of bachelors and maiden ladies is speedily reduced. .

Edgar " Hoover, he swooped down on the safe and unearthed un-earthed a duplicate set of books kept by the Six Companies presumably pre-sumably containing a record of the actual working hours of laborers labor-ers on the dam. Allegedly these were at variance with the books kept at Boulder City. After checking the books, Qla-vis' Qla-vis' agents called in Boulder Dam workers and took affidavits regarding re-garding actual working conditions. The contract between the government gov-ernment and the Six Companies contained a "spread-work" provision, provis-ion, by which no laborers were to work more than eight hours. Fines were to be affixed for all overtime. Glavis accused the Six Compan ies of falsifying their , books as to hours of work, in order to keep from paying these fines. It looked like quite a scandal.

Reich Is Righ t "American industry and trade are recovering with unexpected un-expected speed, and are now being- .swept along on a pronounced pro-nounced prosperity wave. "The American foreign trade outlook is reassuring . . the home industrial outlook is favorable . . . U. S. agriculture agricul-ture has to a great extent recovered . . . Unemployment may be expected now to sink rapidly to a normal level." These pleasing comments are the gist of a study of American economic conditions issued in Berlin by the government-controlled Reich Credit Association, which has a reputation abroad for its statistical surveys Liberty-loving Americans these days may not agree with many Nazi pronouncements, but. this report undoubtedly will prove an exception. For its truth seems borne out by the rising tide of prosperity evidenced all about us.

Our Truly Great BY X KEi'ORTEIi Fritz Kreisler came to my town not long ago. He is, I am most willing to proclaim, the tops. His concert was part of a college col-lege series, and the young collegians col-legians turned out en masse to do him honor and to hear the very essence of music in a way they will not often hear again. Some of the collegians were tuxedoed and evening-gowned. Others wore sweaters. There's no predicting or explaining collegians col-legians -that's part of the iun of it. - The great maestro of the magic fingers and the musical soul played for all alike. The crowded crowd-ed stage behind him was every whit as important to him as the crowded auditorium in front. He gave to all the same, bountifully, cheerfully, graciously, from his unending store of the liquid glory that is rare tonic to the musical heart. What impressed me most about this king of contemporary-violinists and violin composers was his rugged virility and his simplicity. No vain glorious virtuoso here. No prancing peacock with a swollen "temperament." No opera comique caricature, flaunting mannerisms. man-nerisms. No strutter, this Kreisler, but a man. A boyish smile, sturdy physique, dignity, poise, grace. Never a flaw that I was able to detect. Perhaps a million notes, all told, in the pleasingly long program pro-gram he gave us - what with several sev-eral encores at the end that we literally hijacke from him with our handclaps. That million notes all under the iron-gray thatch that waves rhythmically as the master bends with his music. A million notes m those skipping fingers that are as graceful and as sure as the tones they bring from that enchanted en-chanted violin. One of the truly great, Fritz Kreisler. Those young collegians who attend his concerts now will be boasting of it down the decades, dec-ades, after Kreisler has gone on to jcin the great orchestra that makes the music of the spheres. And how do you teil he's great aside from the great music he ' produces? Its his simplicity, his unaffectedness, isn't it? Yes, that's it.

Columbus explored the islands of the West Indies, and then turned eastward again to Spain For 48 days, the Nina and the Pinta braved the Atlantic The ships were separated in mid-ocean", mid-ocean", and the Nina finally arrived alone at Palos. Spain Messengers were sent to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, at Barcelona, telling of the arrival of Columbus, and the great admiral ad-miral was summoned to their court His journey to Barcelona Was a series of triumphal processions proces-sions Columbus was escorted by a delegation of mounted knights, while before him walked six Indians. In the procession, also were bearers of the marvels mar-vels of the Indies 40 parrots and other strange birds, skins of unknown un-known animals, strange plants, andornaments of the red-skinned chieftains in the new land This scene is cast in a panel on one of the bronze doors of the Capitol at Washington It is shown on the 6-cent stamp in the U. S Columbian series issued in 1893. About this time, however, Gla vis' thirst for blood ran up against the bureau ol reclamation, a part of his own interior department, charged with the supervision ' of Boulder dam. The reclamation bureau quietly disclosed that it had known about the Six Companies' second set of books for some time, that the Six Companies voluntarily had shown them, explained that it was neces sary to work men overtime in spec ial emergencies. They could not switch men on and off the job, they explained, while a twenty-ton bucket of con crete was Suspended in mid-air. Then ensued bitter civil, war be tween Glavis' investigation bureau and the reclamation bureau. The former wanted criminal charges brought against the Six Compan ies. The reclamation bureau claimed Six Companies had done a magnificent piece of work. Finally Ickes decided to fine the Six Companies $5 for each viola tion of overtime work. This to taled $102,235. About this time GOP sleuths in Washington got hold of the story It had all the earmarks of a huge campaign bombshell. Marriner Eccles, chairman of the federa reserve board, was organizer of the Six Companies. Underground ru mor was that he had used influ ence to get Ickes to drop criminal charges. If something like this could have been exploded it might have wrecked wreck-ed the Roosevelt steam-roller. But Only a mile away from one of the world's greatest bridges, over which millions soon will pass, the lonesomest spot in America juts up in the foreground, as seen from a swooping plane. In the distance dis-tance is the Golden Gate bridge, nearly completed, as seen across the bay toward San Francisco from Alcatraz island, Uncle Sam's impregnable prison. There the nation's most desperate convicts are utterly isolated from the outside world, the mam cellblock being the long, low building in the center. Directly before it is the headquarters building. At the right tip of the isle are laundry, shoe and typewriter repair shops. the bomb's fuse sputtered, fizzed, went out. An arbitrator in the dispute with the Six Companies, Ickes had appointed a Maine Republican, Re-publican, Frank Wright, executive of the Bangor and Aroostook railway. rail-way. This was the final dash of cold water. All the incident finally proved was that czarist snooping of the Glavis type brings grief and turmoil tur-moil to any administration. MERRY-GO-ROUND The Six Companies are now building Parker dam. awarded subsequent sub-sequent to Boulder dam. while individual in-dividual companies in the combine have been given several smaller government jobs. . . . The Six Companies was organized because no one company was equipped to handle Boulder dam. . . . Six Companies bid $48,891,000. Government Gov-ernment experts estimated the job would cost $48,866,000. Final payment pay-ment by the government was $54.-700.000 $54.-700.000 the difference being due to changes in plans after construction construc-tion was started.

BEGIN HEHK TODAY KAY Dl'iW, prrtly young nurxf, fa hired a a a atevrardeaa on Overland Over-land Alrwaya and, the aame day, meets TED GRAHAM, veteran pilot Trao flies the trans-Pacific route. Kay la assigrned to the western division of the service. MONTE BLAINE, apprentice pilot, pays h-r marked attentions. Monte is darinjr, romantic, bat Kay ia more Interested in Ted. She and DICKIE, Ted's adopted .'-year-old on. become clone friends. Ted leaven on n flisrht aerosa the Pacific. When he returns Kay and Dickie are waitina; for him. Ted (inks Kay to have dinner with them, bat the Japanese aervant has nothing- In the houae to eat except canned beans. Kay herself prepares the dinner, la pleaaed at Ted's compliments. NOW GO OK WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XI rpED'S courtship if such it could be called was the strangest Kay had ever known. He made it quite plain that he wasn't interested inter-ested in matrimony. Nevertheless, she was attracted ' by his air of quiet resolution; even when she rebelled against it, she could not resist this attraction. She admired him, loved him. One seemed inseparable from the other. Monte Blaine was always about and tried to see her whenever she had a free moment. She refused his invitations steadily, but if Ted had any plans that included her, she always accepted. He had come back from his last trip to the Orient with a new, inspired in-spired look in his eyes. Kay observed ob-served it as soon as the ship came In. She had been waiting at the quay to see him, to tell him that she couldn't get leave for Dickie Zrom military school this time. "Sorry the little shaver couldn't come down to see us make port," Ted said. "But I'm glad of one thing IH be able to see you alone tonight. You look simply swell." "Thank you!" "What time will you be irtt to go to dinner?" Kay hesitated. It was kris Lee's last night in Oakland ifcr a long while, and Kay had allowed Doris to prepare dinner for the pair of them. "I don't know, Ted," she said. "I promised Doris " "Oh, Doris is' a good gal!" he said, laughing. "She has a heart of gold, but I can't let her get in my way." Kay laughed. "Doris is the best friend I have. Lots of people don't appreciate her. She's grown a shell about her, like a turtle. Back east she fell in love with one of your apprentice pilots, Ralph Bangs, but she doesn't trust him any more. Says he has a girl in vy port." rpED chuckled. "I'll tell you what. I'll do! I'll call up Ralph, tell him to report to your apartment apart-ment at dinner time, and Doris will have to entertain him. Then you call Doris and say you won't be home for dinner. That leaves a dinner for two and she will have to ask Ralph to stay. Perhaps it will lead to a recShciliation." "It may mean murder," Kay warned, "but I'll take the chance, ythe Bund, admiring the pieces of They tell me Ralph's a model lad now." "I'm glad to hear that from you," ted said seriously. "We need serious-minded pilots for Trans-Pacific Airways." "Where are we going for dinner?" din-ner?" Kay said. "We'll dine out and then go back to my place. I want to talk to you." He added, hastily, "I want to tell you about the last trip when Dickie isa't around to ask a lot of questions." They dined in a little Ship Grill overlooking the lights of the bay. Later they stopped at the little house on the beach and Sato served them coffee. About the room were many of the trophies of Ted's flying career. From a window Kay could see the trans-Pacific trans-Pacific air liners at anchor in the harbor, bobbing up and down like surface ships. Ted brought out a giant map and showed her the four-day course across the Pacific ocean, via Honolulu, Midway, Wake, Guam and Manila. He told her about the quiet achievement of the trans-Pacific flight. It had meant five years of steady planning, but Ted had learned patience early in his career. He had been a pioneer in establishing air service to the tropics. TTE showed her, too, a map of x the world flight, called "Around the World in Twenty Days." It included a regular commercial com-mercial time-table flight around the world, in which the Trans-Pacific Airways was to play a major part. Ted didn't talk much about his own part in all this achievement. He talked a lot about the engineer, engi-neer, the new direction finders, the designers and mechanics. He went on, speaking of his ideals and aspirations in life. There had heen a time, he explained, ex-plained, when he had been impulsive, im-pulsive, reckless ic. the air. That was when his young wife had died, 15 years ago. Since that time a life of danger had left its mark on him. It wasn't just maturity. ma-turity. Scientific planning for real progress in the air' had changed his nature. Kay sat listening, her hands folded neatly in her lap. She couldn't take her eyes from his face. He was so earnest, so fervently fer-vently sincere. Everything that he had done was part and parcel of his admirable character. When he told her about the .jade market at Macao his voice scemt-d to carry her across the ocean, so that she walked along jewelry. There were amusing stories, too, incidents involving members of the crews- on the four-day flights across the Pacific. TTE told her about the wild birds on Midway Island, the albatrosses. alba-trosses. He made her see clearly the tiny tufts of green that were the islands, encircled by coral reefs in the middle pf the blue ocean. The ocean swells rolled across the barriers of coral ia waves sometimes 50 feet high, but inside the lagoon where the Mariners Mari-ners came to rest all was as quiet' as in a pond. He told her about the cosmopolitan cosmo-politan amusements under Diamond Dia-mond Head in Hawaii, of surf-riding surf-riding on the beach at Waikiki. In that evening she came to love the trans-Pacific flight, as Ted loved it. He took out some articles of jade he had bought at Macao, and laid them before her on the table. "I bought the ring for you," he said. "But you may have anything else you want " Smiling, she tried on the ring. It was one of the most beautiful she had ever seen. Ted said, laughing, "It matches your eyes." "My eyes!" she said a little ruefully. rue-fully. "Ted, this is too lovely for words. I adore it. You have such excellent taste. I should like to have it, but just because I've tried to do things for Dickie when you're away " "Oh, Dickie!" Ted said. "For the moment I had forgotten about him." He looked at her intently for a few seconds, then went on. "I was thinking of you wheD I bought that ring. I thought about you a lot on this last trip. Up there in the clouds you see things pretty clearly." "Thank you!" she said prettily. "Then of course I shall wear it" Ted went on. "In these modern times people seem to have lost their naivete about such things. They don't even ask the question. They just seem to grow into it! But, Kay, I want you to man me." (To Be Continuedi. |
