FIFTH INSTALLMENT SYNOPIS: Johnny Breen, 16 years old, who has spent all his life aboard a Hudson river tugboat plying near New York, is tossed into the river by a terrific explosion which sinks the tug, drowns his mother and the man he called father. Ignorant, unschooled, and fear driven, he drags himself ashore, hides in the friendly darkness of a covered truck—only to be kicked out at dawn—and into the midst of a tough gang of boys who beat and chase him. He escapes into a basement doorway where he hides. The next day he is rescued and taken into the home of a Jewish family living in the rear of their second-hand clothing store. He works in the sweatshop store—and is openly courted by Becka—the young daughter. . . . The scene shifts to the home of the wealthy Van Horns—on the 5th Avenue, where lives the bachelor—Gilbert Van Horn—in whose life there is a hidden chapter. The scene shifts to the home of the wealthy Van Horns—on 5th Avenue, where lives the bachelor—Gilbert Van Horn—in whose life there is a hidden chapter. That hapter was an affair with his mother's maid, who left the house when he was accused. NOW GO AN WITH THE STORY wearing silk opera hats, and with rakish cloaks over their evening dress, stepped from a red wheeled hansom. They had dressed the part, a bit of convention in the old city, for the Bowery, and the bums, expected it of the quality. As they alighted Sol Bernfeld, holding John by the arm, passed the John. He had learned that he need onlyer's dressing room. It was crowded and a maze of talk and smoke greeted John had learned that he need only fight one opponent at a time, and he knew that leather gloves were far less damaging than brass knuckles. His point of view was typical of his experience. Generally he got five dollars for a fight, not an inconsiderable amount, and here he might earn fifteen. "But you got to win. Remember it, John, you got to win to cop the big money." John and Sol were being pushed along a narrow aisle to the ringside as Gilbert and the Judge took their seats, chatting with the McManus. Blue smoke lifted in the air, drifting in flat veils like unsteady saucers of mist. A hum of talk rose between the scraps. It was a male audience; it was a time of hard heroic fighting. A hush fell over the hall as the announcer appeared. John had climbed into the ring, and a million fierce little eyes, terribly close together, in pairs, seemed to be boring at him from all sides of an endless void. blood and action for their Stools were shoved into the Rasper was rushed to A towel tosser, gulping fills of water from a bottle the contents over the face his arms and legs, and ada the Greenpoint section breathless instructions foruation of the battle.

The experienced Rasper dodged in a waiting game tire his opponent. Hoots a rage greeted these unpopu euvers. "The Polack's sta NOW GO AN WITH THE STORY Harriet bad left with a man, her father or brother. Simmons did not know. They walked down toward Park Avenue, and beyond, to the river, and the Cavallier. Tom Breen was glad to get her at any price. As Gilbert left home his father gripped him by the hand. "Well, Gilbert, you are a Van Horn, not a Hallett, thank God. The girl may show up again. I suppose she knows how to take care of herself." The words, then as now, held a familiar ring. "But, let this be a lesson to you." At the club, Brevoort, in the utmost confidence, pouring out a liberal highball of Sherwood, tossed it off and told the whole story to Marvin Kelly, a gentleman who mingled politics with law. "I recall the girl, Marvin, a handsome wrench, a figure, if you follow me, and a way with her. Think of leaving my boy closeted with that." "He's a Van Horn, all right. Well, here's luck to 'em both." "How!" and the men tossed off their drink. The affair never got outside of the Van Horn home. Servants in those days, were loyal; it was still in a time when servants talked, but not for publication. Gilbert Van Horn, in the fall of 1900, sat in the window of his Fifth Avenue club. Marvin Kelly, Judge of the State Supreme Court, man about town, gray, genial, came in as the long afternoon shaded into night. "Gilbert, old boy," Marvin Kelly drew off his gloves and tossed his cane and hat on a vacant chair. "I'm having a bit of fun tonight, on the Bowery, down at McManus' place. What are you doing?" "Having a whiskey sour; what else?" "All right. Dine with me at Martin's and then for the mixed-ale scrappers. Malone has a string of terriers, he's trying out a couple of heavies." "All right, Judge—Ah, Josephine. I want to tell you about her." "Yes." "Weil, you know, I'm rather lucky about that. Getting to feel like a family'man, home, you know, laughter, and a bit of responsibility. She's entered at the Misses Filters. Sort of has the crowd guessing. Gad, I met her the other day, out walking with a class. Really, I felt is if I was re-seats.

Dine with me at Martin's and then for the mixed-ale scrappers. Malone has a string of terriers, he's trying out a couple of heavies." "All right, Judge—Ah, Josephine. I want to tell you about her." "Yes." "Well, you know, I'm rather lucky about that. Getting to feel like a family man, home, you know, laughter, and a bit of responsibility. She's entered at the Misses Filters. Sort of has the crowd guessing. Gad, I met her the other day, out walking with a class. Really, I felt is if I was responsible for the whole lot of them. A female gave me a cold stare when I bowed to my ward." "Gilbert, all you need is a hint, and you'll be a family man yet." "I'm thinking seriously of getting an automobile." They talked idly. "Looked at a Panhard the other day, just brought over. The foreign makers are years ahead of us in that." "It's a dangerous thing." Judge Kelly had ordered his drink and was considering it. "Joseph Muldoon, a child of seven, was killed in 51st Street last April by one of the new vehicles. There'll be dozens killed every year before we know it. Don't take any chances, Gilbert." "Depend on me being careful. Judge—here's looking at you!" "Come, Gilbert, let's walk up to Martin's." "I feel like a good scrap tonight." Van Horn stood and flexed his arms. "Wouldn't mind mixing in it myself. Judge, you're life saver." The two friends strolled up the avenue in the dusk. For a block or so each way, groups of loiterers, and the curious, talked of the fights. The crowd gradually thickened before the doors of the club. Now and then some notable would appear; the McManus came; then followed the district chief of an adjoining principality in the close feudal system of Tamany; or some sporting celebrity would dash up in a cab. It was more the attraction of the club than any special frame of the contenders that drew these men. Pug Malone, the trainer, generally put up a show. Boys and men looked on, with the perpetual interest of expectation. Gilbert Van Horn and Judge Kelley, POLACK WONDER, and—his other hand pointed accusingly at John Breen—and Fighting Lipvitch! The fighters had their bandages examined. The gloves were adjusted. The stools were pulled from the corners. All but the referee left the ring. The fighters shook hands. The gong sounded. They were off, shuffling above the resisted canvas. The cold white light pelleted down on them. Their bodies glistened, like animated specimens on some monster operating table. The calls of the crowd rose more violent then ever. The Polack Wonder was picked to win. Cries of "Kill the white-washed kyke! Knock his block off! Bust him up! Mix'er! Kill him!" interspersed with oaths, greeted the senses of John, reeling backward from a hard blow on the nose. The warm salty blood trickling over his lips, sucking into his mouth, filled him with an ungovernable rage. Dancing before his narrowed eyes he saw the thing he was after, a cruel fighter who, in those red moments, epitomized the enmity of man. During the first minute of the round as the fighters, by their actions, revealed a lack of science, many of the audience turned their backs to the ring, preferring to discuss matters of greater interest while awaiting the main event of the opening, a much fouted bout between third-rate heavies. But as the Rasper drew blood, and the fighting Kyke showed spunk, the fans, alert on the instant, turned back to the ring. The tiered seats and the gallery bent over, glued to their chairs and benches. The mephitic air, heavy with stale tobacco and foul with the fumes of whiskey breath, vibrated under the impact of tight fighting gloves pummeling human flesh. The Rasper landed again and again, then John, seeing an opening, drove his hard right to the chin and laid bare the lower teeth of the Polack. Dark blood oozed from the cut lip in a sluggish stream. A quick left to the jaw, partly blocked by the Rasper, spattered blood over both fighters; the gong sounded the end of the round. Cheers rose from the ringside, cat calls and boos mingled with the din. The stamping of feet and the dust and smoke that lifted above the crowd attested their approval. They were getting rose under the impact of them. Then, after a running miniskirt to the wind ended the Rasper staggered to his coat of doubt crossing his back. John fell onto his stool, his bleeding, a thick trickle of blood down his throat and owing chest. At a whistle frother two boys from the Selbowed Sol and his assistor the corner, stripped off their began rubbing and blowing der direction of Pug Malone man swung a towel alter his shoulders, fanning air face.

"They just know how to fight, to put a punch, an' kick, when it dammit, ninety-nine fighters hundred hit like windmills kid—Breen's his name, he's no kyke—that kid's a fighter." The Jorgan-Lipvitch flies by a clean knockout in the sixth round, after a malfight from start to the completely overshadowed event, in which the mixed-"Red Herring" Hennessy Keegan, floundered around buffeting while the crowd disgust.

TAYLOR (Executive Secretary, Agricultural Legislative Committee of California) Editor's Note:—This is the second of a series of five articles outlining the basic principles of an economy and tax reduction program in state and local government, as recommended by the Agricultural Legislative Committee of California in behalf of its 70,000 farmer members. Every ex-soldier who hobbled to glory under a 70-pound pack knows that there's only one way to lighten the load; that's to take something out of it! You may ease an aching back, temporarily, by rearranging the pack—but you're still carrying 70 pounds. And that, in many respects, aptly illustrates the California taxation problem, both as it affects the farmer and the general taxpayer. Equitable distribution of the tax burden is just and necessary. But the sure, permanent road to tax reduction is cost reduction—elimination of part of the load. The Agricultural Legislative Committee of California, seeking tax relief for thousands of California farmers who are battling to hold their own—and their farms—during a period of economic stress and crippled markets, urges that California councilmen, supervisors, legislators and all other tax-spending officers go to the root of the problem and cut off all unnecessary government. As five steps toward economy in government, fundamental steps which can save many millions of dollars for overburdened farm taxpayers and general taxpayers, the Agricultural Legislative Committee recommends: 1. That all non-essential functions of government, which were allowed to grow up in the days of "easy money," be abolished at once. Upshaw For President Wm. D.

G. Priddy and Nell Priddy, husband and wife, or order, for the principal sum of $2000.00, due five years after the date thereof, with interest from May 25th, 1926, at the rate of seven per cent per annum, payable annually; and The experienced Rasper ducked and led in a waiting game to wind and be his opponent. Hoots and howls of greet these unpopular manners. "The Polack's stallin'!" some shouted and an empty flash whirled him, missed, and crashed into the spectators in the opposite ringside. As five steps toward economy in government, fundamental steps which can save many millions of dollars for overburdened farm taxpayers and general taxpayers, the Agricultural Legislative Committee recommends: 1. That all non-essential functions of government, which were allowed to grow up in the days of "easy money," be abolished at once. 2. That special attention be paid to the elimination of all over-lapping functions of government, as between or within federal, state and local governmental agencies and their subdivisions. California cities and counties duplicate efforts in many instances; California state and federal agencies duplicate other efforts. The result is a doubled and quadrupled tax burden. Every public official should recognize that the days of duplication and free-spending are over—and farm taxpayers should serve as his vigilance committee to see that he acts promptly. 3. That departments which have lost much of their original importance, due to changing conditions, but which must be maintained, either be merged with other departments or reorganized to permit the greatest possible reduction in their expenditures. 4. That every effort be made to eliminate unnecessary expenditures by public officials and employees—including "junketing trips", use of public automobiles for pleasure jaunts and unjustified traveling of any nature. 5. That all proposals for further expansion of governmental regulation of business, industry and agriculture be subjected to the acid test of absolute necessity. And particularly that no new functions of government be undertaken unless they unquestionably meet this test. Such a program, if carried out with even moderate success, allowing for many failures due to political opposition and other factors beyond the farmer's control, would, it is safe to predict, result in large and satisfying reductions in the tax bill. The specific eliminations, in each locality, in each county and in the state, must be dictated by specific conditions. The taxpayer must decide, as the soldier decided when he went into action, what can best be eliminated from the pack. And California farmers must have an active part in making the decision—a part commensurate with their share of the load.

Priddy and Nell Priddy, husband and wife, or order, for the principal sum of $2000.00, due five years after the date thereof, with interest from May 25th, 1926, at the rate of seven per cent per annum, payable semi-annually; and WHEREAS, default has occurred in that the principal due on said note on May 25th, 1931, has not been paid; and WHEREAS, John H.

Beneath the surface, he said, there seems to be unusual dissatisfaction with political organizations and past political methods. "Not government, but politics is under indictment," he said. Mr. Crosby is making his campaign on the ground of needed economic changes, as the result of which governments may be restored to the confidence which they formerly held in the public eye.

Second Publication August 4, 1932. Lesson Text: Exodus 16:1:5, 14, 35 Golden Text: James 1:17 When God wrought the deliverance at the Red Sea bringing Israel over on dry ground and destroying the Egyptians in the sea, there was great jubilation. They sang a song of victory and praise. How ashamed of their complainings and fears they must have been in the presence of such a wonderful display of divine compassion and power! Would it not be supposed that this experience would inspire a new trust in Jehovah and that when the next trouble appeared they would humbly wait upon Him to show the way? In a few days, however, the spirit of complaint again appeared and, shortly, the whole congregation was murmuring against Moses and Aaron and crying for the flesh pots of Egypt. Human nature is always the same, rebelling against the discipline and hardship which is essential to the making of character, and forgetful of the mercies of God. In reading the story of Israel's wanderings God bore patiently with their complaints, bestowing constant mercy and care, nevertheless unbelief was continually robbing them of highest blessing. God knew their physical need and a trustful faith would have assured a full supply. It is clear that God had something higher in view than they received for we read in the record of the same events in the Psalms, "He gave them their request but sent leanness into their soul." (Ps. 106:15). How often do God's children by their importance crying for some present selfish need sacrifice or delay some greater blessing! It is to be observed, also, that God's provision was one day at a time and the attempt to hoard the manna brought only disappointment and sorrow. Likewise we should rise early and receive each day our spiritual food. Spiritual life is sustained one day at a time. 100,000 Ex-Iowans Will Attend Picnic More than 100,000 former Iowans are expected to attend the annual summer picnic of the Southern California Iowan Society to be held all day Saturday, August 13, at Bixby Park, Long Beach.
