Provo's Junior Police Reopening of school brings once more into action the junior police and the traffic squads at each building, the bright young lads who watch crossings, caution automobile traffic along the street by the school and help the smaller boys and girls get safely across the streets. The boys do their job mighty well. Records will show-fewer show-fewer accidents around the school buildings since the work was launched. The little tots have been taught to be careful, care-ful, a valuable lesson and one more of us ought to learn these days. Appreciation should be extended to the man who keeps the junior police in training and takes an interest in the work of these lads Chief John E. Harris of the city police department. An American Tragedy From the dim beginnings of history, dictatorships have ended in disaster. They have plunged not only dictators, but their families and their friends, into tragedy and suffering. suf-fering. The crash of an absolute monarchy brings down with it the lives and fortunes of many others. The fierce and often brutal battle by which dictators win power starts a stream of blood that, in the end, engulfs the man whose consuming- ambition forced him to ride roughshod rough-shod toward his goal. No dictator ever was happy for long. None ever commanded com-manded the love and respect of a majority of the people he held in his power. Had he been able to do so, it would not have been necessary for him to be a dictator. Dictators are invariably the leaders of small, militant minorities and inevitably they fail as Alexander failed; as Napoleon failed; fail-ed; as Hitler and Mussolini and Stalin will fail. And as Huey Long would have failed, in the end. Many dictators are spurred by impatience at the slow course of human progress. Fundamentally, they try to hew a short cut toward humanity's goal but their swords grow dull and their arms weaken and in the end they face failure. Meanwhile, humanity in general plods grimly on by the main road, slow but sure. The lesson of the Louisiana tragedy, and its dramatic climax, is the huge futility of it all a futility that has its end in pistoled corpses, and in the sad tears of innpeent women and children. Baseball Thrives Despite Pessimism The grand old game of baseball continues to thrive, in spite of the pessimist, Several years of severe business depression coupled with the undeniable fact that baseball has more competition nowadays now-adays in the shape of golf, movies, etc.. than it used to have, put red ink on a great many major league ledgers, and led some commentators to remark sadly that the public was getting tired of the game. But it is announced from Detroit that more than 1,000.-000 1,000.-000 people have paid their way into the Tigers' Navin Field this year an attendance record that would have looked good in the palmiest of the good old days. Baseball, evidently, is as popular as it ever was so long as it is good, wide-awake, hustling baseball.

We pay people to pass safety laws and we pay people to enforce thew; laws, and then we think it's cute to break them. We think it's smart if we can "put something over." Or, once we have broken a safety law. we probably brag that we know a fellow who knows a fellow who can "fix it." Shame on us! And the funny part of it is. that most safety laws are fundamentally popular law. They're OUR laws. They're bout the only laws that ALL of us really like. We want them for the protection of ourselves and of our children. We want traffic officers and traffic lights and traffic regulations because lite would be dangerous without them Herald The accident occurred at 7:30 p m. Tuesday. Whitehead was driving west on Thrid South when Bradley drove south ' through the stop sign and into the side of the ruck Bradley wa.s driving the automobile of W. E. Barlett, Provo canyon, and had no operator's licence, lic-ence, according to Police Officer Bert Halladay. .John M. Mechani was a witness of the crash. Judge pro tern Victor Hatch declared Bradley's $15 bail to be forfeit. ran ligfc Yet, in spite of this, we are inclined to cheat when we can. Shame on us! A safety regulation is something we should lean over backward to observe, honor bound, even when nobody is looking. We ought to thank a policeman police-man who gives us a ticket for a traffic violation. Sometimes we aren't entirely to blame, but we'll all have to admit that the general idea of traffic regulations regula-tions is great. And we're all anxious to cut down the rising toil of motor car accidents in America, which, according to The Travelers Insurance Company, was 36,000 killed and 954,000 injured last year. It's even likely to be worse this year. lust think of that! A LU i i OUT OUR WAY p; 53 " "' . HEROES ARE MADE-NOT BORM. 9-1 ) V .t. BIG. U. S. PAT, Off. - ' -( J.

GANG INFORMER It is against justice department policy to admit, but the tip which sent G-men directly to the shallow shal-low grave of gangster John Hamilton Ham-ilton two weeks ago came from a woman. She is Helen Gills Nelson, wife of Baby Face Nelson and a member mem-ber of the Dillinger-Hamilton gang. Mrs. Nelson is now in the federal penitentiary for women at Milan, Mich., and is being released this month after serving a minimum mini-mum sentence. :;- . ELLIOTT ROOSEVELT i -i, T " 1 ' T Behind the Texas squabble over Elliott Roosevelt, second son of the president, was a neat plan to run him for congress in 1936. The idea was sponsored chiefly by Amon Carter, publisher of the ' Fort Worth Star-Telegram, inti-i inti-i mate friend of the Roosevelt fam- liy. He wanted Elliott to oppose Fritz Lanham, Congressman from j Ft. Worth, and to that end boost- ed him first for the presidency of ; the Young Democrats of Texas, j However. Elliott did not go over j very well in the Lone Star state. I He was too good-looking. his ' manner too suave, his attitude just a trifle superior. Also, friends of Fritz Lanham set out to knife him. So after a knock-down and drag-out fight among Texas Young Democrats, Elliott lost out on the presidency, compromised and got the vice-presidency. But with opposition to the elder Roosevelt growing in Texas, Elliott's El-liott's chances for congress appeared ap-peared futile. Also his spot in the limelight was not helping his father. There is too much resentment re-sentment against the Roosevelt family. So Elliott resigned even his vice-presidency.

SCIENCE Have you ever been out in the rain with a necktif on ? Not that it is anything unusual, to be out in the rain with a necktie on, but the necktie probably prob-ably got all wet and soggy. This is not good for the necktie, neck-tie, and it also makes your neck feel uncomfortable. So the city park supervisor of Akron, O., having to be out in the weather with a necktie on, pondered over this problem. He finally ended up by wearing wooden neckties. He carves them from wood, shapes them, stains them and fits them with rubber bands. Thus he presents pre-sents a neat appearance despite wind and weather. j ii II iv u II ii i i Howdy, folks!

Refund of one mill, amounting to a total of approximately $30,-000 $30,-000 will be allocated to the taxpayers. tax-payers. . Checks will run all the way from one cent upward to payers of personal property taxes, up to several thousands to corporations. corpor-ations. Adjusting the county books, making out the checks and altering alter-ing the numerous entries, is a job that will be completed in about three weeks, after two months of work with a force that varied from two girls to more than a dozen. The work has been done under direction of County Treasurer Treas-urer Andrew Jensen. New difficulties and problems presented themselves as the work got under way, Mr. Jensen said today. The refund became necessary because of the illegal levy of one mill for the purpose of covering a debt to the state road commission. com-mission. Actually, the debt did not exist in any appreciable amount, but the commissioners made the levy to cover other needed expenditures. Five corporations cor-porations banded together to sue the county for the refund of one mill. Finally a compromise was made and the corporations paid $1500 of the cost of making the refund. Checks to property tax payers will go out along with their tax notices. The small checks to payers pay-ers of personal property taxes only, will go out separately. The earliest printed book found to date came from the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas, in China. The book was dated 698 A. D. CHAPTER XLVHI JATHARINE and Michael did not go to England at once, after all. When she was well enougb Michael took Katharine back to SJlencla where Mlsa Dals and Miae Rozana and Miss Vincent Vin-cent and wheezy Mrs. Hoagbton fussed over oer. She was still definitely the Invalid. The doctor made her stay in bed part of every day and Michael, wbo bad another cell-like room across the ball, would carry her out into the heartening sunshine. He was still unable quite to believe be-lieve that this dedicate, golden-haired golden-haired girl was really bis wife. He bad nearly lost ber and all along the way their path bad been tangled with briers. It was difficult dif-ficult to believe that everything could be straightened oat at last. One day about a week after their return to Silencla Michael had been out riding on one ot the fine Arab borses tbe Millard? had left. He came into bis room, almost blinded by tbe glare of thf patio, and found the Interior dark and cool. But after his vision baa cleared a trifle be saw Katharine sitting in hln one deep chair. Katharine, dressed tn a green linen frock with delicate band-work band-work on it. She looked older, more poised and mature. "Darling! You're really feeling better?" He raised his band to ber lips He felt, reverentially, that be wa& literally unworthy of her. Here he stood, strong and crude In bis riding things, reeking of borses and ' the out-of-doors, and here was this girl, a very fairy princess ot elegance and fragrance, condescending conde-scending to him . . . Some of this be said, haltingly and slowly. When be looked up. to bis amazement be saw she was laughing at him. YAS it true then this thing he bad long suspected that tbe girl bad regarded ber Impulsive bargain with him. that she was certain she did not love bim? His heart stood still. "Michael, you great fool!" Her melodious voice pronounced the words lingeringly. "Don't you love me any more?" "You know 1 do!" be stammered. stam-mered. His eyes devoured ber. "Well then, why don't you take me In your arms? You behave as though 1 were made of glass. I'm your wife . . ." "I thought you were ill." he began. be-gan. But she was to bis arms that very moment; she was rJalX-laughlng. rJalX-laughlng. half-crying against nts stalwart shoulder.

They sat side by side at tbe long dark dinner table thai olgbt. and held hands shamelessly, after the fashion of lovers. Afterward they walked tn tbe moonlight for a little. Michael, coming to flno ber later, discovered her at ber window, dreaming against the casement. "Did you ever see anything no lovely?" The gnarled tree In the courtyard made a stark shadow on the flags. There was an Indefinable Inde-finable scent In the room. "What sort of perrume t that?" He crushed ber to him. this creature of light and air and in descrihable sweetness. "1 1 can't remember." sht said vaguely. "It's very nice." he told her In eloquently. Her "ir hair wat loosened about her face; ber breast rose and fell under Its cov ering of blond lace. There was silence after that long murmuring Interval. Tbe stars shoue down on the desert and the soft southern atr moved tbe curtains gently to and fro And Katharine slept like a child soundlesslyy and blissfully against her lover's 6houlder . . .

"She doesn't talk like an American." Amer-ican." he said. "That Is. I can I understand every single word sbo j says." Mr. Downrigg bad gleaned most of bis impressions of tbe J Americans, from tbe cinema. j Katharine said he was an old lamb, and Michael agreed more temperately. After a brief stay at the Savoy the two were to go to Ireland to see the castle which had come to Michael from til? father's people. "It probably has 87 rooms and one bath." be told his bride. "And old retainers tn bunting coats jumping out of tbe hedges." "Oh. Michael, we must do some-riding some-riding there. They say tbe borsep are marvelous.!" He smiled at ber glowing face "Perhaps you'll want to stay not go back to tbe 6tates at all." "1 don't know. Wherever you are." said Katharine, "will be home to me." Tbey came In to their suite one day at tea time. The girl, loosening loosen-ing ber scarf of dark rich sables, riffled tbe mail on tbe table. Her face altered. Michael, who knew every expression of It, watched ber anxiously. "A letter from John Kaye." she said. "Oh. darling. I am sorry about John. He was so sweet to me . . . and 1 let bim .down, didn't I?"

Because If there aren't I want to buy one. Right away. I've been wanting one for years." She would have a puppy again maybe more than one. A spaniel with silky ears or a Cairn like the one she bad lost. She wasn't afraid of life any more, or of loving. Michael bad showed her the folly of that.
