These conservative .Lake Sunday evening. . elements are worried over the infla- • r' ^ ^seph Wagner pent tionary trends and changes in high the^week-end in Chicago lit the home command at the Treasury Department of Mr. and Mrs. J. TV. Wagner. This concern accounts for the visits of such stalwarts as J. P. Morgan and Myron Taylor, banker and chairman of U. S. Steel Coporation. Roosevelt has been in a position to keep the leading proponents of inflation subdued for a time. They are content, publicly at least, to await the outcome of the new gold policy. Bankers I of the Morgan calibre are desirous of j securing stability and uniformity of i values for currency and government j bonds. Renewed activity at the headquarters of the National Recovery Administration clearly indicates that this outfit is determined to hold the fort under heavy fire. The opinion is freely expressed by critics that the NRA was nothing more than a flash in the pan. The President's Re-employment Agreement, whose insignia was the Blue Eagle, will expire December 31, unless the President decides to.extend the. terms of the concordant with employers- It is reported that the;automobile manufacturers are about to abandon their code. Such a repudiation would unquestionably deliver a solar plexus blow to the Blue Eagle movement. Until actions of General Woodward. Ja« kson I Johnson dissipate the growing suspicion that organized labor has a free hand in all code making, it is unlikely that this recovery movement will succeed. You cannot break down the prejudices of years between employers and employees merely because the government steps into the picture. The high-handed tactics of labor organizers in heretofore non-unicn, factories is stiffening the industrialists resistance to codes. 4 - The part that the brain-trust has in formulating policies for the President will provide material for Congressional criticism. It is noteworthy that the professors are quarreling among them selves. Old-timers recall the effective speech of the martyred McKinley when n Congress forty years aeo hp commented on the type, I would rathler have my political economy founded on the every-day experience of the j puddler or the potter than the learni ing of the professor, the farmer and j factory hand than the college faculty, j The college professors do have influence at present and are utilizing it to the fullest extent. A test of the power pf the 'braintrust" will come next month when the so-called Tugwell bill is considered by I the Senate Committee on Commerce The bill was introduced by two phy- | sicians, Dr. Cojfeland. the SenatoV from New York and Dr. Sirovich, a I Representative from the same state- | Tugwell is regarded as a visionary reformer and the bill he Sponsors to completely revise all food and drug laws is ideal from his point of view. The measure would bestow powers on the Secretary of Agriculture (Tugwell is the Assistant Secretary) which are ostensibly aimed at the public good, but in reality, cloaking bureaucrats with powers beyond their fondest dreams. If a producer of medicines, foods or cosmetics should offend the lordly" officials by insertion of an objectionable word or inference in an advertisement or on a label, then the jail doors would yawn on the criminal. Not even the courts could intervene against the decision of bureaucracy. Dr. Tugwell and his cohorts are due for many hours of merciless grilling as to their objectives. Word comes from Warm Springs that the President is not entirely free from the vexations of the dual role cf President and party leader. Pilgrimages of Southern politicians and a sprinkling of office-seekers from other sections are knocking at his peaceful cottage.

But from Tucson came the story of Weller, recently a captain Ir the Sultan's guard with the French Foreign legion In Morocco. "She thought she loved another," he said. "But I guess when site found herself thousands of miles from, me she felt again the allurement of our romance. "We met at Rouen 15 years ago. She was driving an ambulance for 'the Red Cross.

There was a man in the firing squad for each prisoner, but the one selected to dispatch Wallace aimed at the wrong man. At the crack of the guns, Wallace fell with the rest. The executors decided to shoot the victims through the head as one or two were not dead. Wallace had fallen on his face, and the front of his hat brim pressed against the ground, pressing It up and away from his head. The man who fired the second shot sent it through Wallace's bat. but not his head. Wallace stayed in hiding several days, and eventually returned home.

She was taken to the hospital, suffering from a few minor burns and a nervous Bliock. The news of her courage and bravery spread throughout -the prison. It reached the warden and the parole board.

"All right." she answered. • "Do you think you could stand '•Ottie good news?" >ler eyes widened in anticipation. •S she nodded faintly. "I asked the parole board to consider your case, to-compensate you for the great thing you did, and they have agreed," he paused and smiled broadly, "to let you out."

If there are any messages for me--my name is Sylvia Day." "Yes, Miss Day," replied the headwaiter, as the girl left and walked over to the table at which Smith and Gracie sat. "Why, Joe Smith!" she exclaimed. "Joey! How are you?" For a fraction of a second. Smith looked puzzled. Then he broke into a mechanical grin. He supposed h«i had met the girl, but had forgotten. "Oh* Hello good evening Meet Miss Gracie Shaw." He nodded to Sylvia. "Miss--uh " He snapped his fingers as though trying to recall the name that wai on the tip of his tongue.
