By the time she was all set, I was late for a client Ever seen her, Jeanne?" Jeanne's lids drooped with relief? She believed Ned. No matter if she had heard that chuckle, if she hadn't seen Jim Walker at all! She was thinking fast now. Even if what Ned had explained were true, and it probably was or was it? there were stenographers in Ned's office Just as lovely as Mrs. Walker, and unattached.

MonotonousT That was Itl Her Ned was life was monotonous! monotonous! He wasn't like other women's husbands, smoking, burning holes in the furniture, flashing promiscuous eye things to inspire arguments. Consequently, they had no blissful nights of reconciliation. Ned was handsome enough, at least she had once thought so. But was he? If he were handsome other women would flirt with him at parties. True, Ned didn't give them He always much encouragement cornered some duffer, old as sin, for an economic discussion. Even if a dozen men rushed Jeanne, Ned wouldn't notice. Jealousy was foreign to him. After one party she had probed, hopefully, "What do you really think of to many men rushing me, Ned?" "They've damn good taste!" he And then, answered, yawning. "Gosh! Two a. m.l My head'll be an army blimp at dawn!" Jeanne thrust the Reno Money In her purse, slammed a pillbox hat over one determined blue eye and banged the door behind her. Walking rapidly in the clear gold noon, her rebellion rose. She didn't know quite what she wanted; not other men. There were wives trying that panacea but Jeanne Evans would use her Reno Money before she'd sink to that!

Suddenly, she found .herself in Washington park near a bench that she and Ned had sat on one spring afternoon, two years ago. She stopped and stared at it, an aching lump in her throat She was remembering a party where . Ned had escorted ebony- haired Eunice Walters, a visitor from Paris. Ned had acted with Eunice that night very much as he acted with the economic duffers. Jeanne had left early, and for five days she had nursed her wound and refused to see him. They had met accidentally, at this very bench. She could imagine Ned beside her on it . . . "Jeanne! Eunice Waiters, means nothing to me!" His eyes had implored her to un- derstand. She hadn't been sure of Ned then. "I just wouldn't marry a Ned!" It was silly remembering all that . . . now. Ned Evans, Jeanne started off hurriedly. She couldn't bear to think of that vanished Ned. On State street Jeanne paused before Marker cafeteria's pastry display. Ned loved French brioche and when she started In to buy some, she stopped suddenly, her eyes dilated Ned was at a lacquered table with the most ravishing brunette that Jeanne had ever beheld!

Rabbit Fur It Popular With American Women In touch with the times, rabbits not the kind that run wild, but those that provide half the fur coats, s and muffs for American women are becoming streamlined.

But that characteristic was not acquired quickly or painlessly. During the Middle ages, when much time was devoted to the chase, the progenitors of our present-dahunting dogs were developed. Our modern pointers and setters work so silently and efficiently largely because their remote ancestors suffered many a whack from rough medieval hands every time they opened their y mouths.

WASHINGTON. The long, and sometimes wearisome, Investigation by the special house committee on activities, headed by Rep. Martin Dies of Texas, has begun to bear fruit It Is not yet clear whether all of the fruit will be good. But there surely Is reason to believe that, even with some of that fruit slightly decayed, a great deal has been accomplished that will be helpful In retaining America for Americans. I have a feeling that when the committee's work finally is brought, to a close, most of ua win have a new perspective on the foreign influences that have been at work In our midst We will know more about the 'isms" that have been transported to our shores and spread among us under organization names that are designed wholly to conceal the purposes of a controlling clique which gains Its strength and its money, to a considerable extent, from foreign lands. For another thing, it is now evident, that whatever else the Dies committee has done, it has disclosed how thoroughly easy it la for a few scheming foreigners to feed upon American resources and use our citizens to promote the ends of dictatorship. Moreover, the testimony thus far taken has shown how these weasels operate, the methods they use. The testimony has brought out the fact again that one of the simplest things in the world is to "organize" Americans. Some vague promises, delivered with oratorical fervor; citation of some wrongs and theories for correcting them, stated only In generalities, and a group of active organizers, working for pay that Is what you have to have to "organize" in the United States. And the tragedy of it is that thousands of individuals will part with coin "for this great movement" or that one, without knowing that the leaders are using the membership only for whatever crooked purposes will serve their own interests. rat-eye- d, English foxhounds, and those used by hunt clubs in this country, too, are generally given sonorous, g names, oftentimes of three syllables. They are effective, too. Think how much g more it is to hear "Hark to Marmaduke!" than "Hark to Bod!" or "Hark to Jim!" In the choir of the hounds, if all could be running together, the bass would be the bay of the bloodhound and the otterhound. It is impossible to express that deep, booming, resonant note on paper. Voices' Reveal TraKs. Next In order come the- baritones of the pack: the French hound, the old English harrier, and the American foxhound. Their voices reveal that all have some bloodhound in them..

Rabbit breeders are considered almost as important to furriers of this country as those men who provide sable, ermine and exptic brands. Although foreign furs are more expensive, the rabbit simulating other animal pelts, is offered to the public in great quantities. Nubian seal is one type rabbit fur. There are 21 other legal trade names. Annual shows are held to exhibit improvements and developments of old strains, and the origin of new ones, to commercial breeders. The fanciers, those who breed rabbits as a hobby, are "laboratory technicians" of the rabbit fur Industry. With time for experiment and without too many animals to occupy their attention, they are constantly introducing new fur or changing old style pelts. Regulations of the association require a new breed to be exhibited three successive years before gaining recognition as a genuine "new model." Then, the breeder must show proof of some characteristic to Justify this breeding innovation Independent of other types. Most breeds can be traced to Europe, and the bulk of the show rabbits are descendants of rabbits prevalent as far away as Patagonia and India hundreds of years ago.

Members of the groups whose history and purposes have been laid bare have shouted their heads off about "unfairness," and "injustice."

Sometimes one of his springer spaniel dogs, in the excitement of the hunt would forget Itself and On returning home give tongue. that dog would be destroyed. The owner was determined to develop a breed of soundless or "mute" hunting dogs, and was not averse to harsh methods to gain his end. At a recent Virginia field trial for spaniels a springer gave tongue while hunting a pheasant It was only the tiniest hint of a bark, emitted by a highly strung animal in a moment of excitement Yet, for a springer aristocrat, even that small sound was an unpardonable breach of etiquette, and a black mark was probably placed against him in the judges' book.

It's a very popular breed of small dog. beagles, with the highest note of all the hounds, are up toward the so prano end of the scale. Any real dog fancier can usually tell the breed of a dog by Its bark Yet the without having seen it bark of a dog is not merely a bark. It is a language which the dog lover soon learns to understand.' Among themselves, dogs plainly have a language, a How means of communication. many times have you noticed your dog, lying quietly at your feet while a neighbor s dog barked steadily, suddenly prick up its ears at a subtle change, a new note in the distant barking, and rush out to look into the matter! To a dog's amazingly sensitive hearing even the sound of a particular automobile is easily recognizable.. A dozen cars may enter the driveway in the course of the day and the dog takes no notice. But let the master's motor turn into the drive and the dog is on his feet ready to greet him. Generally speaking, the best watchdogs are the ones with upright ears. They seem to be always on the alert and catch the slightest sound. As a matter of fact, the tern "watchdog" seems to be a party of Russia. It appears there Is more scandal, more evidence of violation of law, yet to come. Largely, because of the committees's exposures there probably will be prosecutions of various foreigners or officials of American organizations because they have failed to comply with our taw. They have not registered with the department of state showing their connections with foreign governments or foreign groups. In addition to all of these, the committee has made a ghastly ex- pose of communists within the offices of our own government It published the names of 583 persons, on the government payroll, who are me&ibers of the American League for Peace and Democracy, with the assertion that part of them, at least were avowed communists.

It would have been so easy to have rooted out the real crooks and no one could have had sympathy for them. But the others were just victims and ought to have been treated as such. In other words, this bad mistake by the Dies committee has done much to nullify the good it has done, otherwise. , I am hopeful that the department of justice wiU be forced Into the position where the real leaders, behind the scenes, will be kicked out of their government jobs from which they have been promoting destruction. But leniency Is called for with respect to those other stupid, but sincere, Individuals who make up the majority of the list Their only blame is that they were so gullible that they did not attempt to find out who was behind the "great movement" Operations Are Directed From Moscow and Berlin But how did the Russian "Comin- tern" operate to get into these various organizations and promote its nefarious schemes toward world revolution in a intelligent race of people here? The processes, according to the testimony by Browder and others before the committee, were very simple. The American Communist party sends delegates to the Communist Internationale In Moscow. Decisions are made by the Moscow group. Browder explained that the delegates came back with these decisions and policies but he described them as only "voluntary agreements" between the Americans and Russians. The Americans were not "compelled" to observe the Russian-mad- e rules or follow Russian-mad- e orders, according to Browder. But In this country the was squeezed into a corner by committee questions and finally explained that it was "customary" for American members of the party to "part company" with the group when they failed or refused to agree with the Imported schemes. And thus voluntary action was forced action, directed from Moscow, as far as I can understand words. American "Fuehrer" Kuhn, of the n bund, appears to have had something of the same system. He nevertheless insisted before the committee that his organization had no connection with the Nazi party leaders and was not guided In any way by them. This statement was made despite testimony, some from Kuhn, himself that he had many close contacts in Berlin and that he had made recent visits to Adolph Hitler. There has been considerable suspicion that both Browder and Kuhn have many men and women in their organization who can be described only as racketeers. That is to say, they have numerous "workers" wh are fully aware of the general purposes but who are willing to engage in the "movement" solely because g jobs within they have the ranks which, in my opinion, rates them as completely dirty head-communi- st German-America- well-payin- crooks. Confidential Information Available to Foreigners But to get back to the Dies committee list of alleged communists, or fellow travelers, within the government itself. Those of us who have been In constant contact with individuals In various official capacities recognize the dangers that are inherent in their situations. I, for one, am genuinely fearful of them. Any government worker comes into possession of vast quantities of highly confidential Information. It Is information that belongs to you and to me and to others, because we are compelled by law to supply to the government all records and facts which the government seeks. It Is not information that belongs to any one government employee or official and that person has no right to use it or disclose it to others, except as the laws require. I believe, therefore, it does not take a vivid Imagination to see how such information can be used destructively by one of the rats who secretly owes allegiance to the Soviet or the Nazis or to the Fascists, of Italy. America long has proceeded upon faith. If that faith is breached between individuals, our laws and our courts are available for correction, for damages, for enforcement of rights. But what I ask, are any of us going to do when, within the offices of the government Itself, there are concealed men and women who descend below the level of common thieves and secretly supply facts about our nation to foreigners whose purpose is to destroy us? Who knows but that this sort of thing goes on within our army and our navyf |
