THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1930 PAGE NINE PASSION FLOWER by, Keon ert of Preceding Instalments; And after divorce=--what? Cassy Wallace wonders forl ornlys. Dan, her husband father of little Aommy, aud Margaret-=goes from her life forever, and the shabby old ranch house is a void without him, To have her husband in love with Dulce Varney, the pio oh lows, widow then lving the road from them, ATR Casny's ride and love, and vobs her of all reason. She herself tells Dan to leave her, to divoree her, And when she, , writes Dan quietly to come home to her and the children, g elso matt answer ins newspaper Liarre Var, The end! This then is what happens when a vich girl mar. vies her father's chauffeur, But surely their happinesse-- hers and Dan's--their po. verty, their bables, thelr com. ing to the abandoned Pringle ranch, and Dan's new garage on the state highway to San Francisco, are rvealities that bind them, make them one forever and ever, Dulce and Dan return from the honeymoon, During the xt~three years Dulce proves to bo a very jealous and exacting wife, Dan's thoughts turn back to Cassy, TWENTIENTH INSTALMENT It was from this autumn walk, through dry, rustling oak woods scented with sage. tarweed and a hundred other aromatic grasses, that Dan Wallace dated the awak- ening of his own soul, "What have I done!" he sald aloud, in the balm-scented heat and sweetness of the woods, He saw in a flash the home kit- chen, the saugepans and high- chairs, the wood-box and the nail behind the door where the blue ap- ron hung. Morning sunshine streaming In over a frosty back yard, and steam rising from the coffee-pot, and a bundle of soft, struggling babyhood under a man's arm, "Roll her blanket tight around her feet, Dan, And sit down, darl- ing--there's popovers!" Back from his walk, he went up through the orderly, airy house to Dulee's room; to find her, as he ox- pected to find her, stretched upon her couch under the frallest of cove erings, and in the frajlest of robes, She had a glass bowl of grapes and figs on her table, She stretched forth hand. "Have nice walk?" "Wonderful," "Migs me?" "Kept wishing you had come along. It was lovely up in the woods." He fell to musing, her hand still n his, a satiny "Quarter to four, and you were to be back in the house at twenty minutes past three, you renegade. However. I forgive you, Danny" "What is it, dear?" "Don't 'call me 'dear'---it sounds 80 married!" "I thought it was 'my dear' thst sounded married!" | "Both of them are awful, Hut Danny; do you know what I've been doing since you went out?" "Manicuring." Dulce was horrified, "Aren't you awful! adoring you "Well, that's no more than your duty." "Special reason, You know, when you'd gone, and 1 was missing you, and feeling just a little bit blue," I've been "| ful, Dulce sald, smiling through molst- ening lashes, 'I got up and went to my desk, where I have your let- ters stored away. And Danny, if I adored you before, you haven't any {dea how they made me love you! I was reading the ones when we'd decided that we had to part, 'member? You'd write me nights after Cassy had gone to bed, And it's so touching, Dan, where you say that you are trying to fill your heart with other things, and talk- 1ing about, Tommy, and little Mar- garet--she was just learning to talk" His expression did not change because of the knife thrust into his heart, He went on thumbing her smooth hand gently and look- ing at her with his kindly smile, "And then I came to the letter you sent her, Dan-~do you remem- ber? I kept a copy of ft, And 1 think it's the most beautiful let- ter I ever read in my life! Danny, how you must love me, to say all that about me!" "No, I'm a pretty poor specl- men," he sald, "Listen to him!" Dulce sat up, and bent forward to kiss him, "Oh, Dan, always love me the way you did when you wrote that let. ter!" she sald, "You say that that you could give me up, and with me the most wonderful dreams of hap- piness that ever had come Into your life, if you truly believed In your heart of hearts that the happiness of any one of us would be helped by it. You say that you and I don't want our great love for each other to bring anything but more Joy inte the world--do you re- member?' "You got it by heart?" "Don't be ashamed of it, Dan don't laugh at me! It's too beauti- I don't blame Cassy for not being affected, because of course she felt bitter, she felt jealous, Her lotter's there too, Dan," she said, Dan's, face turned a dark red. "Cassy's?"' "Cansy's. Don't you remember she wrote you, just at the end?" "Yep, I remember." "Remember that, you didn't get the letter until we'd been married a woek? It followed us, remem- or?" He nodded, a look of pain In his eyes, "That was an awful letter to write, Dau." Duleo observed, Dan cleared his throat. "What was awful about ft?" "Well, my dear, we were mar- ried!" Dulce reminded him vyirt- ously, "Dan laughed loudly not quite kindly. "Of course, she didn't know that," Dulce pursued, a little net- tled, "But--well, it was a letter I couldn't have written to any man, Are you sure you remember that lotter?" "Yep. We were in New York, when a lot of home mall, came and that with it." "We read it together!" sald, in fond reminiscence, He remembered her, blond and scented and jeweled, trailing laces and frothy silks ahout their bed. room, in a glitter of sunshine and massed flowers, He remembered that he had indeed shown her Cas. sy's home letter with its news of cats and dogs, farm and babies, and of Cassy's lonely self, in the new dimity gown, writing on a warm summer evening in the old sitting-room, "Oh, well, I don't know ~1 can kind of understand it," he offered uncertainly, "I can understand it, knowing Cassy," Dulce sald cryptically, Presently he sald: 'I 'wonder what you'd do if a man loft you, Dulce Lulciana?" "You mean if Yop bad fallen fn love with some other woman?' "Well, if any one had." "1 don't know, but I believe I could always hold a man, Dan, if I loved him, Men have always been crazier about me than I've been about them, Until I met you, I mean-- "And if you ever get tired of me, I'd simply2walk in there to my bedroom, and take my nice little pistol out. of the top drawer, and kill myself!" "You would not!" "I 'tell you I would" "Even if--" his tone was Imper- sonal, bantering--"even If I found some one else tq love--as 1 did when I fell in love with you?" "But you weren't in love with Cassy, Dan, We sald over and over Again that we weren't doing wrong, because there was nothing to take away from her, Surely you remember?" "Oh sure," 'The time I dread," Dulce mused aloud, luxuriously, "Is about ten years from now. I'll be forty- eight. Dan---almost fifty, fsn't that horrible? And you'll be only forty, A man Is young at forty, Oh, how I'll' watch my handsome boy then!" "Ten years," Dan echoed in his soul, as he kissed the soft hand and went to dress, That night, when Dulce was asleep, ho crept nolwelessly out to the sitting-room, a" went to the desk, He opened It, and fumbled there for a fow minutes, by the light of the drowsing wood fire, From the desk he went to the hearth, and the dying flames mounted suddenly and briskly up- on the sheets of letter paper that fluttered down upon them, Dan stood motionless; watching them, until the last gray ash had settled down upon the glowing logs. And three. days later, while Dulce was at a beauty parlor, hé drove past the Wallace and Varney Gar. age. at the forks, and went on, up the rise hetween the meadows, to the place where the Varney farm and th old Pringl place faced each other, Dan drove two or three hundred feot beyond the gates, and parked his ear, and sat looking down across the gracious, descending slopes of the meadows, There were many changes vis ible on the Varney farm; they were evidently establishing a cattle farm there., But the Pringle place look- od just the same, No, not' quite the same, There had been improve ments there, too, but they were of a loss striking order. The Varney place had been changed into a dairy ranch, but its nelghbor had merely gone on as a prosperous homestead, Order and quiet reigned, and yet there was a sense of spareness, of thrift, over the scene too, Dan felt that the indescribable home= liness and simplicity of it all en~ hanced the charm of it as no ex- pensixe equipment could do, While he watched, the kitchen door banged, and two children came down the steps, Dan knew thelr ages: the boy nearly eight, tha girl fifteen months younger, His boy and girl A young woman came out of the house, and Dan's heart rose on a bound, But it was an unknown girl, a blonde, who spoke to the children, After a while he drove away, It was nearly five years since a young man, worried by proverty and res- ponsibility, had taken possession of these fruitful, prosperous acres nd carried china and. furniture into that ugly. comfortable, sha- dow-mottled old farmhouse, Cassy had been beside him, her slender body twisted In the grip of new responsibilities, her brown face pale, her blue eyes alight with joy and hope.

The opinion is based on the fact that manufacturers are endeavour- ing to base production on actual demands so that dealers may not be crowded and that trade-in valu. ations on used cars' have been lowered, Along with this there is being carried out an aggressive scrapping program, in which thous. ands of used cars have been sent to the junk dealers. Low prices for scrap have checked the latter phase temporarily, The Madl and Empire was yester- day informed from authoritative sources that by the end of this year the industry in Canada will be in a better position than at any proy'~ns time, Manufacturers. are not only co-operating with dealers to the extent of devising and in- stalling accounting systems for their benefit, but they are actually preparing plans for model show- rooms, offices and service depart. ments which are supplied free to dealers , In some Instances capl- tal Is advanced to finance construc. tion of these buildings, and in one case the manufacturer built the structure and leased to the dealer, Shares Too Widely Held Some manufacturers have . not | yot adopted the new attitude to- wards their dealers and continue to "ecrowd' them with an excess of cars, for which they pay cash to the factory but for which they often have to accept, at high valuations, used cars which IN' turn must be sold frequently at sacrifice prices, One manufacturer was cited as having recently circularized doalers instructing them to offer "the best trade-in values" in thelr localities for used cars for the purpose aof pushing sales of factory stocks as- signed to them, One of the most prominent deal- ors In the city, while agreeing upon the benefits of current reforms in the marketing system for new cars, offered a word of excuse for the manufacturer, "The manufacturers' position has arisen out of the wide distribu. tion 'of hiy shares," he said, "I can show you that, as far as auto- mobiles are concerned, the wide dissemination of common stock has not been any too good for the industry, In years Hke 1029 and 1030 the automobile maker sees a sort of rovoluton, out of which he comes with the prospect of reduced profits, With his common stock scattered all over the country, he makes extraordinary efforts to keep up his earnings, and for that purpose he inaugurates a campaign to 'crowd' the dealers, knowing very well that many dealers will go broke under the pressure and that eventually the factory will also auffer, 'Now, It the stock of automoh- Ile factories was more closely held by a group of weathy men, they as reasonable business executives, would take a look at tive general oconomic situation and say, 'This is a time «of depression and falling prices, in which everyone is tak- ing a bump, The best thing we can do is pull in our bolts and take our bumps along with the rost,' In that way, adjustment to the new conditions would be ef- foctod with much less shock to the community than the present system involves." Junking Old Cars Manufacturers are on the aver- ago reducing production for the current period by about. 30 per cont, to take up the slack occasion od by last year's over-production; Moreover, during 1980 some §15,~ 000,000 of manufacturers' money is to be used In junking approxim- ately 400,000 old cars---a process in which the Chevrolet makers have led the wag. When to these junk- od cars aro Wdded those which are destroyed in the ordinary course, it is estimated that about two- thirds of this year's production of 4,600,000 cars on the continent will go towards filling vacancies left by this wholesale scrapping procoss, So much for actual maiket cons trals, effected by makers ip co- operhtion with dealers. But manu- facturers are going much further, Expert accounting divisions are being organized by many manu- facturers for the benefit of dealers, and through this organization a complete co-ordination of produc- it tion and, domand is effected.

The emphasis is throughout on the pre- vention of crime, nut on mere punish ment, und on the reform of deli quents, The personal factor, conse~ quently, and the back ground and en- vironment of the individual, assume a preponderating role in the passing of judgment on a criminal, Foreign scientine penal legislation, particu larly Swiss German and Swedish pro» jects, have been drawn up in the for multation of Chile's new code; with necessary modifications made in or der to adapt it to the peculiar needs of the country, In connection with the new Code (now before Congress) a vast pro gram of prison reform is under way in Chile including not only the erec- tion of model new buildings but also the reorganization of prison proced- ure and administration along scien- tific lines, The new Code also will demand judges with knowledge of criminal phychology and criminal sociology, seeing that the Code al- lows judges so wide a range of ac- tion that proper disposition of deli- quents is almost entirely a matter to be decided by the court's own judg: ment, NEW TYPE OF BOMB WILL FLY ITSELF Machine With Clock-Work * Brain to Guide Bomb- ing Plane London =A winged death machine, despatched from afar, defying all de- fence and raining merciless from the sky on some great enemy city--this is the latest contribution of science to the horrors of war, It is a giant armoured aeroplane that operates without a crew, its engine and course being controlled by a clock-work "brain," Writing in The Daily Mail, Harry Harper describes the new weapon as a hollow metal hull which will con- tain no space for any human occus pant, It will simply be a receptacle for a heavy load of bombs, On eith- er side of the tapering stream- lined body will be metal wings: in the bow will be an engine and propellor which will operate automatically ; and at the rear will be control surfuces which will also be automatic in their ace tion, Inside the hull, placed care fully in a protected dnd armoured container, will be the mechanical "brain" which will control this wing ed bomber as it rushes through the air, The gyroscopes in the mechani- will establish electrical contacts instantly the machine shows any tendency to deviate from its course, and those in turn will cause a compressed air mechanism to funcs tion, which: will move ailerons, ele vators, or rudders, and so keep the pilotless craft in equilibrium upon an accurate course, For governing the action of the "brain" a clock-work 'device will be installed, which will be set before. hand to operate at any given time, After a predetermined distance has been flown, iy will cause the engine to stop, and the manless machine, with its. deadly load, tilts downward [904 soee 0 expart iatinlisin >a snd dlong to earth It is mand a year in advance, u fairly | same rolls which we pass through our auto- bot will perforate is launched in the day at the old peaks of pro-|serted in an flight, DEATHPENALTY [75 IS ABOLISHED BY |: then climb higher altitude, a "1104 AN TA to proceed for so many miles in one direction, then alter its path and fly for a certain time on another course, is have not he subject in war to the power other hand such complete preci guidance complished 'crimes, and equality of | heaven.
