LOVE DEPARTMENT The New City Administration 9 A new city commission is at the helm as Mayor Mark Anderson takes over the public safety and finance departments, depart-ments, and Commissioner J. P. McGuire accepts the assignment assign-ment to direct the streets and public improvements department depart-ment to which has been added the irrigation affairs. The new members of the commission will find in the holdover Commissioner Walter P. Whitehead a conscientious official, ever ready to cooperate in the solution of problems that come before the commission. The new officials are entering on their terms of public service with the sympathetic backing of the electorate which swept them into office at the last election. While the task before them is by no means an easy one, they should have no difficulty if theydiew close to the line, as far as their preelection pre-election promises and campaign pledges are concerned, and put the public welfare above special privileges. There will be plenty of free advice as to what course to pursue on this question and that one. Seldom will they find their actions blessed with a unanimous approval. Ideas will differ, and honestly so, as to what will be the best course to pursue on every question of community concern that comes to the front. There is much hard work ahead and lots of headaches in store-for the members of the commission as they have doubtless already learned. Torn between the different factions fac-tions who seek to retain the present appointive officers on the one hand and those who would "clean house" on the other, theirs is often a difficult position. They are destined to make some enemies whichever way they go. The community owes a debt of gratitude to Mayor A. O. Smoot and Commissioner J. E. Snyder, who are stepping out, as well as to Chief of Police John E. Harris and the other appointive officers who are leaving public service. They have served the people conscientiously and well during their term of office, and can look back on the accomplishments of the past years with pride. They will be expected to continue to take an active interest in civic problems and give the community com-munity the benefit of their wisdom and experience, as all good citizens should do.

But this wee creature may eventually save western west-ern farmers millions of dollars by protecting them from those disastrous periodic invasions of grasshoppers.

By developing proper numbers of the parasites and turning them loose, they believe that the destructiveness of the grasshopper a plague on farmers since the Biblical days of ancient Egypt can at last be put under a permanent curb. Incidentally, this bit of news is a striking example of the dollars-and-cents value ;f the research done in the scientific scien-tific laboratories of our great universities.

Tho sudden realization which had come to her on the train the discovery dis-covery that she had made a mistake mis-take when she told the police that Sandy had been with her on the afternoon of the robbery disturbed her deeply. It meant, of course, that what she had supposed to be dear proof of Sandy's absolute innocence in-nocence had fallen completely flat; it meant, furthermore, that he himself him-self had knowingly persuaded her to testify to something that was not true. It was Sandy, she remembered, who had led her to believe that that canoe trip of theirs had taken place on Friday, not on Thursday. What had he said? Something to the effect that he was sure of the date because Eve Lewis had had a birthday party that night. Jean remembered re-membered that she had paved the way for his little trick by asking him what day of the week tbey had met: how easy she had made it for him! Yet no matter how much she mulled the whole business over in her mind. Jean could not come to any definite conclusion about It. At one moment she would be thinking that Sandy, like herself.- was simply sim-ply the victim of an honest mistake; mis-take; at another, she would feel that he had willfully deceived her which, of course, must mean that he was not at all the sort of chap she had thought him to be. A ND yet. although this mental turmoil stayed with her through the rest of her train trip, she found, after a day or so. that it was losing its power to bother ber. Maplehurst was a long way from Dover. When Jean walked along the quiet, maple-shaded streets of the little town, or sat in the living room with her father and mother, or stopped to chat with this or that old acquaintance of her younger days, it was hard to believe that anything that happened in Dover mattered so very much, after all. Maplehurst was not a large place; the bank of which her father fa-ther was president was only three blocks from the old-fashioned, white-pillared house that had been the Dunn home for two generations. genera-tions. Jean fell into a habit she cation days; she would stroll down to the bank, along toward noon, go into her father's office, and wait for him to finish his morning's work so that she could take him home for lunch. She was sitting on the corner of Ms desk, on the morning of her I third day in Maplehurst, waiting for him to complete a telephone call, when she chanced to notice, through the open doorway, that some workmen were being very busy in the lobby of the bank. "Dad." she said, when he hung np the receiver, what are those men doing out there?" Mr. Dunn peeked out the door, and leaned back in his chair complacently. com-placently. "Tear gas." he said briefly. "It's a new form of insurance against bank robbers. "Tear gas?", she repeated. "How do you mean?" He pushed back his chair and got up. "Come on in." he said, "and I'll show you." fpHEY walked across the lobby. went through an iron grill, and into the cashier's cage. Mr. Hobart. the cashier, bowed when Jean entered, en-tered, stroked his lean chin, and said to Mr. Dunn. "Well, they're almost al-most finished." "See?" said Mr. Dunn. "Under the counter there are three little cylinders see them? There's tear gas in them, under pressure, with concealed outlets on the lobby side of the counter. Now. you see where that man Is installing that button effect, in the floor?" He pointed, and Jean nodded. The worker looked up and grinned. "That," said her father, "is what touches them ofl. Step on that, and the lobby'd be full of tear gas In 10 seconds. Now then, suppose this Jackson gang pays us a visit. They come up to the wicket, here, and point a gun at Mr. Hobart and tell him to put np his hands. He obeys, of course: but as he does so he reaches out with his foot which they can't see him do, because he's only visible from the waist np to anyone on that side of the counter he reaches out and touches that button. Whoof! Out comes the tear gas. and there's nothing for the bandits to do but run. Neat, Isn't it?" She looked at the contrivance, wide-eyed. "But you've never had any robbers rob-bers down here," she said. "That doesn't mean we never will have any, though," he said. "People like these Jackson gangsters gang-sters seem to specialize in robbing smaH-town banks. And we have to be especially careful, because of the pottery plant payroll." Six miles away there was a large factory, devoted to the manufacture manufac-ture of almost everything in the earthenware line from tiny flower vases up to great sections of sewer pipe in which a man could stand upright. A sprawling, slatternly town surrounded it and housed its workers; but the factory banked in Maplehurst. because one of its directors was a leading stockholder in the Maplehurst bank, and every other Saturday an armored car came over to Maplehurst. Just before be-fore noon, and got the factory payroll. pay-roll. Til feel better, with this tear cas installation in in time for this as they left the cage and started off for home. "I've really been nervous, ner-vous, lately, thinking how unpro tected we are down here. But a puff of that tear gas is stronger than any gangster's automatic, We're safe, now." They walked slowly home, through the pleasant warmth of early summer, and after lunch Jean walked back to the bank with her father, her hand slipped through his arm. chatting aimlessly and affectionately. When he went into the bank again she started leisurely down the street, planning to stop in at a little confectionary shop just beyond the Palace Hotel and Tisit with the little old lady who had once been her Sunday School teacher. A S she crossed the street and ap-proached ap-proached the hotel, she saw a man standing on its old-fashioned, small-townish wooden veranda. She gave a little start, and looked again; surely there was something familiar about the set of those shoulders and the way he cupped his hands about a match to light a cigaret? As she drew near the man turned and faced her. He. looked at her in surprise, and then hurried hur-ried to meet her. Sandy! The old throb of excitement that the mere Eight of him seemed to arouse jarred her nerves once more. "Told you I was going to drop in and look you up. didn't I?" said Sandy. "I keep my promises and I waste no time. Where are you going now?" "Why why, nowhere special," said Jean. "I was just " "Fine." said Sandy, taking her arm and swinging into step beside her. "We'll take a little walk, ana you can show me the sights. I just got in. Driving through this part of the state, and I remembered this was your town, so I checked in at the hotel, and here I am." They went down the street, past the brief business district and the little red railroad station, and entered en-tered the rather unkempt park which Maplehurst maintained on the bank of the sluggish river which looped itself about the west side of the town. Sandy maintained main-tained a steady fire of small talk, and it was not until they had sat down on an iron bench overlooking the river that she suddenly remembered remem-bered the thing that had been bothering both-ering her. "Sandy." she said, putting a hand on his wrist and looking up at him soberly. "I want you to explain something to me." "Yeah?" He looked down, saw how serious she was, and became equally serious himself. "What is it?" "That that day we went to the police station remember? I said we'd been out canoeing on the Friday Fri-day before, when that that robbery rob-bery happened. Welt I got to thinking about that on the train, coming down here, and I remembered remem-bered something. I remembered that it wasn't Friday when we went canoeing. It was Thursday." She looked up at him earnestly. His eyes met hers, unwavering. "You told me it was Fr'day, she said, trying to be severe, but su ceedlng only in being rather girlishly girl-ishly pathetic "You knexo it wasn't. Sandy I know you did. But yo made me think it was. . . . Sandy, you're Just got to explain it."

It happened this way: Be rah sat one seat from the president at a recent White House dinner. Roosevelt leaned over and joshed the senator about his campaign. "I'll tell you what I'll do, Senator Sen-ator " said Roosevelt. "If you are elected president ycu take me for a ride on the Potomac (the new presidential yacht). If I am reelected re-elected I promise to take you on a ' ride." ' It's a deal, Mr. President." said ' Borah, "only don't forget your part of the bargain." ! NO WALK-OUT 1 Senator Bill Borah's flourishing presdential boom is headed for stormy weather. Far from being dismayed by the seeming tidal wave of rank-and-file enthusiasm for Borah, standpat Republican leaders are planning to give him a determined battle in every important im-portant primary. At a secret conference held in New York last week, a complete list was drawn up of "favorite son" candidates who could be put into the field with a fair chance agiinst Borah. In other words, if Borah can't be licked outright, the aim will be to split the delegation, taking as many from him as can be won. By this strategy the anti-Borahites. in addition to holding down his popular support, would be in a position to "bore from within" his delegations during the convention. In past conventions this boring frequently been successful. Delegates come to a convention pledged tc a certain candidate and i-ii'd up by voting for someone else. Under the projected plan.
