Tha oldest and most historic site on the banks of tho gray, muddy River Thames will soon be covered with a towering, modern warehonse and wharl. Once thu Mayflower, the gallant Uttlo ship thit bore the Pilgrim Fathers America, lay in Fountain Dock to be refitted. Once the dock housed the Fighting Teme- raire. For throe hundred years, it is said, the booms of the dock have wedged the hulls of thousands of ships, both sail and steam, which have needed cleaning and refitting In front of the dock stretches the wide panorama of the river, beyond Cherry Garden pier, banked with lines of barges, outlined with the dim shapes at distant steamers. Visitors to the famous old dock have often commented on tho hole cut in the top of the gato leading to the road.

The hole was historic. So small was Fountain Dock, that when shipa berthed, there was no room for their bow-spirits--they stuck out through the hole and almost touched the houses on the other side of the road. Long fallen into disuse, Fountain Dock la overshadowed with mighty ove isrit Importan JERROLD RIGHT 1. ME It CO 1M BY VTRAl I'HFSS ASSCX. KTION jis who Is both by her.

Did you hear what he did to Peggy, the other day? Had an engagement to take her to lunch, and never showed up till next day. Said he was flying, and forgot! Was she furious!" observed the artist, "Is a. badly spoiled young lady. All her life people have been kowtowing before her, on account of her money.

Now she's In love wlUi a chap who has brains enough to keep her guessing, and it's just what sho needs. Remember how I treated you, Charlotte? The same thing, exactly!" He winked at Gay. "And how you loved it! The more I shoved you off, the harder you came after me!" "Idiot!" Jeered Mrs. Vance, affectionately And then, to Gay, "We're frghtfully selfish, keeping you here while we gossip about people you're not the least bit interested to. pay the child her money, and let her go.

We've got to be getting home ourselves." For two afternoons following, Gay came to the situdlo and posed in the bathing costume. Then she changed to day-duty at the club, and telephoned Vance to tell him she cculd pose only In the evening. "Let's call it oft for tonight- Mark suggested "Charlotte and 1 are going to the theater But at the studio at eight promptly, Friday evening." 'On Friday, therefore, as soon as Jean arrived to take charge of the coatroom, Gay i scrambled out of her uniform and into street clothes, and was on her way. As she came out into She street from the employes' en- ttrance, she noticed roadster be afraid I'm going to kidnap you. have a date with Peggy for nine o'clock and I Intend to keep It." His voice was Impatient "Let's go." yielding, Gay climbed Into the roadster, and as it gathered speed, said demurely, "I'm grateful for the lift This la lots nicer than the Woodward street cars.

They bump so!" "Do they?" Breck was sardonic. "Well, they couldn't bump you half as hard as I'd like to. Let's get down to cases, Gay. What's the big Idea of the runaround you've been giving me?" Gay slid down farther In the seat, relaxing comfortably. "I'm so tired, Bieclc.

Please don't be cross. And I don't know what you mean by "run-around'." He looked straight ahead, slow- Ing down for the changing lights at the intersection of Woodward and Forest avenues. "Why don't you answer the letters I've written you? Why haven't you phoned? Is all this coy stuff just a corne-on gajne, or are you really oS me?" The traffic light flashed tp green, and the roadster darted off again, narrowly escaping collision with a cruising taxi "Maybe you think I enjoy saying sappy things like this! Why, woman--I've never groveled to anyone In all my life! Never had to! If someone had told me a month ago, that I'd be chasing a girl this way, rJ have laughed my head off!" He turned sharply off Woodward avenue, and slowed up by the curb. The sdde street was dark and quiet Breck turned off the ignition. "I can't talk and drive.

Let's have it out, right here and now. Are you sore at me because I go around with Peggy?" Gay smiled. "I don't care you see Peggy Pennell every night in the week." "Then why are you peeved at me?" "Do you want the truth?" "Shoot the works!" "All right, then." Gay faced him. How good-looking he was, and how well he knew it! "I liked you a lot the first time I met you, Breck. But that other night-when you took me to the speakie' That was awful' I don't go in for wrestling matches.

Gay Interrupted. "The whole thing is this, Breck. When (hey told you I was a Miss Smith, the daughter of a friend of Doctor you behaved pretty well. But afterward, when you found out I was just a check girl, how you changed! You thought you could do anything you wanted--tear my clothes off, even, if that would amuse you'" As she recalled that rowdy struggle parked close to the curb, under on the chais.5 lounge, Gay trem- If vt-i4 QVia Hlarl tnrilcrrm finn the arc light.

"Don't be so silly! You won't have to keep quite that far away from me!" "That's the way m. sit, and that's the way we dance, from now on," he assured her.

"Honey, you're dynamite. When I get any closer, I go haywire. Look!" He drew a trifle nearer. "You can see for yourself: I quiver in every limb, as they say in the movies. And when I put my arm around you, like this, I lose all control--like a 1917 DeHaviland in on air pocket!" Gay removed his arm.

Gay remembered what Mark Vance had said: "Charlie Pennell can't make up his mind, whether or not to coma in on the deal." Of course, Breck had to play safe.

M'HALE'S POWER SHOWN IN ACTION ON BEER PERMITS State Beverage Commission Relinquishes Authority to Democratic Boss INDIANAPOLIS, Dec.

11 --Applicants lor Indiana port of entry and baer wholesaler permits, all of which wera subject to renewal within the last three weeks, have discovered that Frnk McHale has not relinquished his power and authority as manipulator of the strings that direct the activities of the state alcoholic beverages commission. Licenses were issued by the beverages commission after McHale had ascertained that the applicants were not out of step with him or with the state administration which he has bossed for the last four years. Immediately after the election, McHale, the target of open and vigorous criticism by some prominent democrats prior to the state democratic convention of 1936, went into action, checking on liquor license applications to determine which applicants were "right" with the administration. He communicated with democratic county chairmen, statehouse employes recognized as political powers back home, and district chairmen to secure the information he desired. In some instances, however, county chairmen were themselves applicants for permits, and in such cases McHaie made his investigation in a roundabout way.

Routine Duties Retained Accordingly, the alcoholic beverages commission, charged by law with administration of the state's Hquor business, functioned only to the extent that It wrote and mailed the licenses, after McHale had given his O. K. McHale "knocked off" former permit holders who were not, in his opinion, wholehearted supporters of the McNutt-McHale-Townaend regime. In one instance, he gave a wholesale license to a man who had to borrow money to buy the Hcense and who then had no money to buy a federal license or the inventory of his predecessor. McHale saw fit to change only one port of entry.

That was in Indianapolis, where he 'thumbs down" on the A. and A. Beverage corporation, which had held the permit, and gave the license to the TJniversal Beverage company. The latter is operated by a group of local politicians. Tho commission continued the beer importing monopoly plan Instituted by Governor McNutt, by issuing''only thirteen licenses of that sort, although the state liquor law authorizes issuance of 100 port of entry permits.

County Chairman Gets Plum One of the beer wholesalers to feel the wrath of McHals was the Braun Beverage company of Kokomo. This concern lost its permit to the Kokomo Beverage company, headed by Kenneth Shockley, democratic county chairman. A Lake county wholesaler was dropped from the list of licenses in of the Central Distributing Company, organized just a lew days before It received its license from the state. Its corporation papers were notarized by Martin Downey of East Chicago, state representative. In Carroll county, McHale lopped off the Delphi Ice and Coal company and gave its permit to Guy Coplen.

democratic chairman of that county. The gears failed to mesh, somehow, after the Owen county beer wholesalers license was issued to James Laymon and Leason Taylor of Spencer. The next day this permit was canctlled, and the license was issued then to the Owen County Distributors, Inc, who had held it previously. A relative of Martin L. Lang, state food and drug commissioner, lost his permit at Elwood.

He was a strong supporter of Pleas Greenlee in the latter's race for the democratic nomination for governor. A. B.

JAPAN'S DRIVE TO MILITARIZE FORMOSA SEEN Survey Indicates Island Will Be Base for China Thrust Japan and Formosa in Fukien and Kwangsi, according to the institute's investigation. A colon! zation association is said to exist with a large capital with headquarters in Formosa. The institute finds that it plans to settle 100,000 emigrants along the southeastern coast of China within the next five years. Its relation to the Japanese northern penetration, ac- cording to the survey, is revealed in the plans of the new Formosan company which call for full cooperation from the Kochu Kongssu, a recently organized Japanese concern which is connected with the Japanese South Manchuria railway for the exploitation of northern China.

Fourth--The survey finds that the present Japanese "southward drive" ia being made with the objective to get possession of Chinese territory with special strategic value. In Amoy and Pingtan, both strategic coastal districts of Fukien, it la declared that the Japanese already have obtained possession of large tracts of land under different sorts of nominal leases. Japanese agents are declared to have aided the movement of some 7,000 bankrupt fishermen and peasants to Formosa where they were put to work in mining and agricultural enterprises. In return, Formosans, who will enjoy extraterritorial rights, are being encouraged to emigrate to the island of Nan-ao which lies immediately east of Swatow and occupies the key position between Kwantung and Fu- kien. Fifth--Movements, it is asserted, are being made to obtain control of the mineral resources of Fu- kien and Kwangsi provinces.

Sixth--The survey fiftds that there has been increased shipping activity to promote shipping interests along the southeastern coast of China, where low Japanese rates have sharpened the competition with British, Chinese and other shipping. Seventh--The report charges that Japanese have extended smuggling activity along the southeastern coast to China. Eighth--Japanese are taking advantage of all autonomous movements, the institute reports, to consolidate gains derived from the seven other methods of penetration into southeastern China. "Much of the activity described," the report states, "under 1 ordinary circumstances would be explainable as the normal operation of business enterprise. But the conjunction of economic moves along many lines, with others of a patently political flavor, taken in connection with similar operations in northern China and with the whole recent history of Sino-Japanese relations, is striking enough to present the appearance of political direction.

Whatever the motives may be," the report concludes, "the present Japanese operations in south and in north China are tending to react disastrously upon Chinese economic and political life." fore his exchange of courtesy calls with Sir Murchiouii Fletcher, governor general of Trinidad, the president will receive an outstanding addition to his extensive collection of ship models.

COLE By HENRY WOOD (United Press Staff Correspondent) A FRANCISCO Japan's "southward drive" into China's southernmost provinces threatens to be as disastrous to China's economic national aconomy as would be the ultimate conquest of the nation, according to a sesearch report just completed by the Institute of Pacific Relations. According to the survey, the Japanese expansion movement in South China is being conducted quietly and without the fanfare that ushered in Japanese influence in Manchuria.

Japanese efforts to penetrate southeastern China are indicated, it is declared, Jn eight specific ways. First--Formosa Is being developed as a base of operations. The whole island, it is declared, is being militarized. To a system of modern roads there is being added double-tracking of the railways; a cluster of airdromes capable of accommodating a full air squadron, and a new harbor at the southern tip of the island are being built. it is said in the survey, is to have a military defense of 26,000 men and a naval strength up to the combined Second and Third Japanese fleets.

The economic and military center of the island is now being shifted, it has been found, from the north to the south end, or in other words, to the closest possible point to China's southern provinces. Second--It is asserted that Japanese are making use of extraterritorial rights in the southern Chinese provinces to extend their acquisition of land. Forrnosans, the survey pointed out, are being sent to the mainland of China and there supported and "protected" by the a a government. These Chinese-Formosans enjoy extraterritorial privileges without in any way coming under the Chinese prohibition of land ownership by foreigners.
