A gathering of Dan's army that jnight revealed five hundred and ten dollars. The ten was for celebrating. Which the army bravely attempted. Too many beers left Dan slightly wobbly. Happy escorted the Colonel home. Alice led Dan, who insisted he was taking Alice home. A bench in a welcoming park presented Itself at a timely moment. It waa better that Dan sit for a few momenta. Tho moon, soft end glowing, brought a lovely radiance to the trees. Dan eat close to Alice. "You know, I'm a very lucky fellow, Princess. Tep! Very lucky!" Tour old man with the whiskers haa certainly been good to you." Dan grinned. "You bet. Look at me. Got everything. Got a. great horae. Got a beautiful wife." He sighed. "And I've got your bosom to lay my weary head on." His head sank forward. Alice put her arm around his shoulder." Alice's arms tightened around him.

Alice looked up at the soft moon. "You can wish for something so hard, you can wish it into existence Try that sometime." Alice's voice broke. "I--I've tried that--lots of times." Dan straightened. "Never fails! Never falls! Sometimes things look black--Impossible--and then suddenly it happens. Why? People say: 'Look--a miracle'- But--it's not." ' "NoT"" '. "No. ' Somebody's been wishing real hard, that's all." His head sank forward on her bosom again. "Look at Margaret--didn't love me at first. No-o. Not the least bit. Some day I'm gonna wish her into it. All she wants is to make a big business man out of me. Make me the Emperor. Huh! If you were a man what would you do to get a woman to love you? Huh? You wouldn't know. Nobody knows. All you can do is wish." Alice's eyes were misty, her heart heavy. "How--how about wishing ourselves home?" Dan's head snapped up. "Home? Oh, yes, I know. Sure.

At least, she'll' have a victory." "Don't. Dan. Don't! You'll never forgive yourself." Dan shrugged. "I owe her that much. I promised her I'd come back." Alice gripped the bars. "It ian't too late yet. Something might happen--" "Nope. It's Just not the day for miracles. Might as well scratch 'Broadway Bill. Take him out of the race and get it done with." Alice looked deep into Dan's eyes. "I don't believe it! I still have faith In your old man With the whiskers." If Dan could have only teen the old man with the whiskers, for the old man was pulling his whiskers and scratching his head reflectively. Then he chuckled. Far away, a nurse In a hospital bet two dollars on "BUI." She liked the 100 to 1 odds. A millionaire patient, bored with hospital routine, followed her advice and bet two dollars also. The word got around. From two dollars, it went to twenty, from twenty, to two hundred. In a short time, rumor had It that the millionaire. Chase, had bet some! (100.000 on "Broadway Bill." The old man with the whiskers laughed' outright, of course. j This was exactly what a big time gambler, Eddie Morgan, wanted. Asi hundreds of people had decided to play along with Chase, the odds came down--as far as 10 to 1 on "Bill." The odds- on "Sun Up" Morgan's choice to win the Handicap. went soaring. Morgan chortled with glee as he and his henchmen bet thousands of dollars at Juicy odds. They alone knew; that the; race was "fixed"--that "Gallant' Lady" couldn't win because'the! Jockey riding him was really working for Morgan. Morgan's delight i turner} to dismay when he learned j that "Broadway Bill" had been; scratched--for down came the odds i on "Sun Up"--which was not whati Mr. Morgan wanted. So. Mr. Morgan1 hied himself ttf the Jail wherein Dan was left to the safekeeping of the law. I Of course, Mr. Morgan wasn't go- i lng to tell Dan which horse he was betting on. He n. -rely hinted that he had "a big gob of shekels" on "Broadway Bill" .and that if the horse was scratched--well--it would be Just too bad. So Mr. Morgan paid Dan's way out of Jail. Even went so far as to hire a Jockey for "Bill." What Dan didn't know was that Ted Wllllama, the Jockey Morgan hired, was In Morgan's employ--to keep "Bill" from winning. That left "Sun Up," Morgan's pony. Just aBout the best thing in the Handicap--what with "Gallant Lady" and "Broadway Bill" being ridden by Morgi TO BB CONTINUED* A.. T. & T. CO. TO GIVE RADIO BROADCAST Washington, April 24 - Spending nearly five billion dollars appeals to the average citizen as an ideal job. Yet the small group of men actually working out the allocation of money at the President's orders privately admit it is a nerve-wracking task. This huge sum cannot be dispensed overnight for the disbursements involve a wealth of detail of which the public has little knowledge. Projects must be of sound economic value to avoid wast§ and extravagance, proper co-operation with state agencies is sometimes difficult owing to the bugaboo of petty politics and job-mongering. The widening breach between the national and state relief forces offers a concrete example of the difficulties besetting the President's agents. • President Roosevelt has adopted a new strategy aa a means of hastening important legislation through a rebellous Congress. Rather than indulge in endless bickering over items affecting the Administration, the White House spokesmen at the Capitol have Compromised wherever possible. , They want the Conflicting Senate and House drafts ironed out in conference where there is "a meeting of minds" -- meaning those friendly to the President's ideas. The omnibus banking bill of the House will be cut into three sections in the Senate. The real alterations will be evolved in the conference between the two legislative bodies. Administration leaders Are passing the< word to shorten hearings on all proposed measures in order to get these issues squarely before the Congress at an early date. As a consequence such troublesome items as the NRA extension measure, the Wagner Labor Disputes bill and farm plans are undergoing a severe pruning at the hands of committees. It may astound the folks back home to learn here for the first time that their spokesman in Conrgess has adopted scientific methods to analyze sentiment in the districts he represents. The flood of letters, telegrams and postal cards from 'mien and women interested in pending legislation has gjven many solons just a plain headache. A few clever men outside the legislative halls sold the harassed lawmakers a service which relieves the tension and confusion. For a few paltry dollars this outfit will sort and'classify the batch of mail on popular and usually controversial matters. The reports give the legiislator a statistical or possibly a charted picture of what the volume of mail means. The idea is in its infancy and only two score subscribers have been inlisted. It is a great worry-saving scheme, but it has certain drawbacks which an experienced politician cannot afford to overlook. The political influence of the letter-writers does not show in the statistics. This shortcoming is partially remedied by having secretaries familiar with the relative importance of the petitioners go through the correspondence as a precautionary measure before the statistical hounds are turned loose. ' The discussion provoked by two Cabinet officers working at cross-purposes among the organized farmers refuses to be stilled by glib explanations. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has been parading up and down the land telling what his department is doing for the benefit of the individual ruralists and especially the farm cooperatives. Secretary of State Hull leading exponent of the "good neighbor" policy in international relations has launched a bitter attack on the agricultural interesta, the potato growers, because they dared challenge his tariff plans. The feeling reached a fever heat when an official spokesman for one of the powerful rural federations was given the boot at "star chamber" tariff reciprocity hearings on Canadian matters conduc. ted under the guidance of Secretary Hull. Peace-makers have been putting out the salve on the sore spots but to no avail. The lowly spud 'oi the dinner table may yet provide a partisian campaign issue bringing dormant tariff bargaining matters to the fore. Mr. Roosevelt will probably step into the picture before his two official advisers make the "hot potato" controversy a dividing point between farmers and the- Administration. Despite the fact that Congress has been deluged with petitions on social security problems more than any ten other vital issues of the day, it is note worthy that the debate in the House definitely revealed that the boys did not know what "the shooting was about". Study of the reported debate showed that less than a dozen speakers were actually familiar by unemplyoment insurance* old-age pensions and the laws of their own states relating to these important subjects. An orator proudly stated "more leg; islative carpentry has been done on social security than on any other bill". Betting favors remodeling by the Senate and eventually invalidating action by the Supreme Court. The House leaders privately admit the bill they passed is a patchwork affair and filled with loopholes for court challenge. TV celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, incorporated in 1885, a unique radio program will be presented from 6 to 7, Central Daylight Saving Time (5 to 6, Central Standard Time) Sunday, April 28.
