I've always said thai ir Evt Adam isn't much of a- e»M>k. s h e s . n grand success aa a mother. Four sons, and every one a credit to the name."

•"Eve!"* laughed Nancy. "How did she ever dare to marry a man named Adam?"

-Because," replied the old lady with « twinkle, "she'd set her heart on do­ing Just that thing—always said that when she found an Adam she was go lag to rope him. What she wanted •was to find one with Adam for his first n a m e ; but when 3ohn Adnm came along she snapped him up—nt least, tha t ' s the way she puts it.

"Did he get well?" naked Nancy. "Mercy yes ! As for the boys—you've

"And there are two more? ' Cousin Columbine podded; "Luke's eighteen, and John will

" tha t they're really named like that — Matthew. Mark. I.uke and John?"

Jack rocked with mirth, and Cousin Columbine's eyes lighted,

"Indeed they at*e. Folks at Pine Ridge are used to '»-m and never think about i t ; but I dare say it sound" queer to outsiders. That was Eve's do lnga. She's sort of fantastical and dreamy.

"» ..'-i't J:;sr now. You run along alone Sis. I.ool; here."' (as slie star!-ed off).•"hftven't \ t n rgo t anything biit those silk s l . - iUmc-y

"That ' s exactly what I n>Wed. her •' 8 morning." Auro ra s voice c.iaio through, the nj>en window. " l iUe us ntd that handsome 'i.mir of hose will be full of runs when you uct hack, Nancy Nelson. Why rjo't borrow a pair of .Miss Columbine's hl.uk cot­tons?"

.lac!; wns nbllued to hide, a grin at .1 vision of his fastidious sister In cot-ron sPwklngs; aiKi Nance replied, al­most Impariently: "Oh, see here. Au-n»ra. didn't Juanl ta have on silk stock . Ings at the.post otllce this morning?'

' i f she did. I'll paddle that girl when I get home," asserted the good woman. "Juanl ta Tuhhs wearln* silk stockin's In the mornln I What 's the world comtn' to?"

"Mercy!" gasped Nance. "Have i got Junnlta into trouble? I hope not. Next time we go down to the Springs. Aurora. I "I I buy some woolen sport hose. I thought I packed a pair, but can't tind rhem. Now don't .worry any more on rhat subject. How do l reach the nil—the one with the pine trees on It?"

"Walk straight up the road till you pass my house and s>ee a path lea din' inro the woods. It 's terrible steep and I ain't at tempted It for years, though Tubbs nnd I got engaged to be mar­ried up there under the old pine. You'll ttnd our nltlais cur in the bark wirh a heart around em. Victor Tubbs i s a real good carver. if yon run Into anybody from the Adam ranch. Nnncy. tell 'cm we'll want extry1 milk tomorrow. And would you mind peek In* in my bedroom window and see if Tubbs Is sleepln"? He's got a delicate stomach, and his supper didn't set good last n i g h t "

Suppressing a smile nt this unique request. Nance promised. »tnd s tar ted on her way. The afternoon was all her own. and it was Impossible- not to feel a thrill at this unbelievable De­cember day. The sun was w a r m : yet the paper reported a blizzard raglnj: In New Knglarui! it seemed Incred­ible; and next week. N'nnce mused re­gretfully, the Country club would he gay with winter sports.

"1 wouldn!t be there anywny." she consoled herself, as the homesickness she had supposed vanquished, raised Us head again. "I'd be at Edgemere wlplnc dishes for Mother, or mopping up puddles'of snow brought tn by Phil. Here's the Tubbs abode already. I must see if Victor Is asleep."

This brought a smile, and homesick ness retired to that place where such things go when we fnrgot ourselves, Aurora's house which set back n space from the rond. wns a one-story affair covered with tree bark, nnd al­most hidden In a grove of stunted pines. Nance went softly tip the path and peered In at a window. By pro** Ins her face against tho glass she made out an ornate Iron bedstead on which the recumhent Tuhhs was snnr Ing peacefully; while one of hls.wlfe'ii rich layer enUes and an open Jack-knife stood on a nearby chair,

not much more, from h e r e ; . but It's pretty steep, and we can ride half. way. up from the other side. My mother: used to fake U8 there on picnics when we .were kids."'

Seeing that the young man's em­barrassment ha<l dropped away when b e s p o k e of h is tnother , Nance grasped the cue.

^Cousin Columbine tells us that Mrs. Adam Is—well, w h a t <Rhe said w a s : 'F.ve. Adam Is a grand success as a m o t h e r ! ' " '

"I'll say she Is !" M a t t faced her. smiling., and Nancy saw that he had completely forgotten himself at last. • Then the color dyed his face again nnd he st am m e e d awkward ly : "1—1 don't mean that we boys have rurned out anything above the ave rage ; h u t -but that—"

"T know what you mean." smiled Nance, coming to his rescue,, "though I think Cousin Columbine meant Just what you're denying. If must be nice to have such enviable repnrat lonsl How did your mother manage it with all four of y o u ? '

She couldn't resist teasing him a little, but It was kindly tnci which made her bring the conversation biirk to his mother ; and Matthew answered: "By being herself, I guess. She was always on hand, yon know, so perhaps we didn't get Into as many. seraiK»S as some kids.. Mother's a wonder.; and Dad Is too. I'm rather crazy about my people, but—but I've said enough. Don't know what got me going or—"

"I got you going.1" admitted Nance, a twinkle lighting her blue eyes. And t hen : "Oh, look I Is that a snow­capped mountain range on the hori­zon?"-. ' .'; -'•..':

Matthew nodded. "Here 's where we turn. Do you

mind-a Utile cross-country riding In this old wreck? You're likely to get some Jolts, but—Look out the re ! "

This warning wns too late, and onh a quick snatch of Matthew's arm which brought her tight against nin khaki coat for Just a minute, kept Nance from losing her balance as tht\\ dipped Into a rnln-worn gully. When he re-leased her »nd the girl looked up, she saw that all his previous confusion-were as nothing compared to .the etii biirrassmetit tliiit engulfed him now This nmilled sophisticated- Naticy, and. she said demurely: .

"Thanks for saving my life I Is. that another of those pleasant liflle .thatiK you-mn'nms looming up ahead? It you'll tell me 'when one's approaching I'll hang on tight and .save you the trouble of rescuing me a second time."

"It—It wasn't a bit of trouhle." stammered Matthew. "1 moan—I didn't In the least mind — 1 — "

"I'm glad to know that the experi­ence wasn ' t unpleasant," broke In Nancy, her eyes dancing. "Do I get out here?" (as Matt, his face the color of a peony, stopped the engine.) "Arid do I keep straight on until | reach the ' top?" ' '

"I'd better show you tYie way. hadn't ;

I? .That is—unless— unless you'd rather go alone, I—1 don't want to butt i n if—"

"Oh. come, on." laughed Nancy. "1 wasn't keen on'.solitude, if that 's w h a t you mean. And If. you've got time to» [day around for an hour, nothing would piease me more. Jack -was vanquishing a wood pi le ; Cousin Col umhtne was napping; and Aurora was . too much Inclined to give advice, so T ran away,"

Matthew laughed softly. It was B . pieas;int , laugh, and. his . voice was pleasant, too." thought Nancy ,when he forgot himself and spoke naturally..

"Aurora Tubbs strikes me completely dumb," he fold h e r ; - " a n d advice ite one of her strong points. . S h e ' s never recovered from my going to college— thinks Ir was t h e last word i n foolish ness. What 's she found to pick at about you?"

Nance shivered. "No wonder she's frightened! It 's

a miracle this tree has escaped being demolished. Does anybody know how old it i s ? "

Matt shook his head. "It 's a great deal older than any­

R I^.C.Oy'KRTNG'-from tlie terror and dismay caused Ivy Hitler's "purg­

• *jpps—-' /^niany imw r e a l i z e '>£&•'• \ .that a serious e c o ­

nomic crisis for their country Is at hand.

i The essence of the ^*b I V ^ J Nazi new deal Is that

, ,:<>to make money is nO credit to the Individ­ual, but that to work-is a great honor. In-cent lve ln the form of profit Is vanish I n g ; Jobs, many of. them created, have b e e n

spread out ' th in ly; employers are urged to run their plants at their own ex­pense, to : take on more men and to Increase wages under the theory that it Is a privilege thus to serve the s ta te . Observers believe the Nazi govern­ment i s now trying' to re t reat from virtual Communism, which Its leaders profess to hate, toward relative eco­nomic liberalism. The appointment of Dr. Kurt Schmlt t minister of eco­nomics, to the position of economic dictator Is taken as evidence of this trend. Schmltt has been given blanket powers that will exten'd to October 1. and In that time he has the authority to promulgate any reasonable laws that he thinks will help t rade and commerce. He also has the right to impose fines on those who do not obey his dictates.

Chancellor Hitler sought to restore quiet in the reich by ordering a polit­ical truce and a call for peace, and he then left Berlin for a vacation In the Bavarian Alps. In the capitals of Europe It was possible to hear al­most any kind of rumor .concerning Hitler nnd his prospects, so It la Just as well to wait and see what happens. One guess Is ns good ns another.

There Is current nmong friends of the slain Nazi " t ra i tors" an explana­tion to the effect that those men were truly the supporters cf Hitler and were only preparing and arming se­lected troops to back him up In an at­tack on the reactionaries. The spon­sors for this account blame General Goerlng for misleading Hitler and en­gineering the executions.

One of the chancellor's firmest friends, Rudolph Hess, minister with­out portfolio,, broke out with a speech In which he appealed to France to help Germany avert another war, ad­dressing himself to tho veterans. Then he delivered a stern wnrnlng to Franco —and the world—not to try to Invade the reich. "Just yon dare to attack us ! Just you dare to march Into Ger­many I" •

European diplomat* were consider­ably disturbed by Hess* utterances, looking on them ns the strongest prov­ocation hurled at Franco in yenr*. The Nazi charge that tho executed Storm Troop leaders had been con­spiring with France already had made the French ongry, and Andre Fran-cols-I'oncet, Fr'enclv ambassador to

Donald Richberg

ASSISTANT PRESIDENT"Is what they now call Donald Rlchberg,

because he is at the head of a kind of super-cabinet which holds power

during the absence of President Roose­v e l t The counsel for the NRA has his work cut out for him,

«» and has gone a t It with a wUX The chief par t of his task Is acting as director of an industrial emer-g e n c y committee which has been given sweeping supervisory a n d , co-ordinating powers over the ma­

jor agencies of the New DeaL

What is going to happen to the NRA is an absorbing question to many of our best minds. General Johnson has recommended the creation of an en­tirely new body to take Its place and to perform the functions of the fed­eral t rade commission la preventing monopoly. In this he recojrnixes a s Just some of the complaints ut tered by Senator Borah. The plan was sub­mitted to Mr. Roosevelt before he went to sea, and la being studied by Rlchberg and others.

The administrator, meanwhile. Is undertaking to complete the regimen­tation of industry- He Issued an or­der directing all industries still un­codified either to sign specific codes or to submit to a new "basic code-governing wages and hours. A t ime limit of 30 days was s e t and three of the general 's aides wore named to su­pervise this operation, v

Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. In bis capacity ot chairman of the Democratic senatorial cam­paign committee, replied to the charge that tho New Deal fosters monopoly by asserting that the administration Intends to prosecute tho monopolists,

"At the demand of large business, stimulated by the national chamber of commerce." said Senator Lewis. "congress by tho votes of both part ies suspended tho trust act to i l low all business to economize by consolidation to 'save expense* and provide ' larger development ' Result : Instead of keeping faith with the government, certain manufacturing and financial establishments, conscious that the t r u s t law was suspended, promptly violated the codes of tho NRA by Joining; with each other to fix the price of everything—-even as against the government itself.

"This administration has Just been able to discover the responsible par­ties to this conspiracy. It has not had time, to take steps to punish I t It will proceed a t once both to punish and obstruct further Injustice."

In another statement Senator Lewis indicated the President Is willing to .modify the NRA and perhaps some other New Peal policies.

"What the President wishes, in ad­dition to the reorganization Intrusted to.Mr. Rlchberg and his associates. Is that there shall be gathered from the public; wherever possible, whatever objections exist as to legislation late­ly passed." Senator Lewis declared. "He desires particularly to know where business feels that the legisla­tion Is Inappropriate to its welfare or when4 some change In the legislation would best serve the general uses of legitimate business i n the promotion of general prosperity in all branches Of commerce and Industry."

BEING ambassador to Cuba is no snap. The authorit ies of the is­

land republic have Just uncovered an extensive plot to assassinate Ambas­sador Jefferson Caf-fery w 11 h .bo m b s, many of which were found. S o m e t h i n g like seventy-five for­mer army officers were arrested and it was s a i d documentary proof, of the plot, was seized. The officials also fo n ' t d 1 a r g e s t o r e s of gtjtnjl a n d munitions i n ware-: i -••<. . . 'v':..; ; .lose Pedraxa, chief
