Credit Men Talk on Compromises Urge Committee of Creditors Decide Debtors’ Ability « to Pay. ‘ A reference to compromise settle ments being accepted by creditors was passed by ths administrative commit tee of the National Association of Credit Men May 13. The declaration sets forth: Unques tionably, the composition has been badly overworked In recent years, In many instances used In dishonor to the debtors and unfairness to credi tors. The composition did not always express the utmost ability of the debtor to pay. When a situation like this develops, and suspicions are rea sonably aroused, then a reversion » must be sought to first principles, and which alone can give to credit contracts the needed protection. No voluntary composition should be accepted until the real condition, fi nancial and moral, of the debtor has been canvassed by a committee of creditors or by some acceptable medi um representing creditors. Accepting compositions devoid of this close in quiry wnuld naturally encourage un fair offers, for the temptation to pay less than face value of his debts may be stronger than the conscience of some debtors.

Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” s/ Why Katie Begged Madge’s Aid With Mamie. I had struck the right note with Katie. I realized this when she voiced her passionate asservation that she would go to "prison for vun hundred years" rather than have me injured by her foolish action in permitting the girl! Mamie, to hide In our attic the bun dles of costly fur cloaks which I had i just dlsoovered. It was a note that I had sounded many times before In my dealings with my little maid's difficult temperament, and I quickly resolved to harp upon It now In the emergency that confronted me. "Your going to prison wouldn’t help me any, Katie,” I said Impres sively. "The mere fact that these things are in my house would p(it me—not you, only—In great danger. You Just tell me the whole truth ahout this, now, and don't leave any thing out." Katie gulped her sobs back, and faced me wtih something like desper ation In her eyes. "I tell you eferyting,” she said slowly, then with a rush of passion ate words: “But, oh, I not know vot dey do to poor Katie!” "Stop that." I said with apparent brutality, for I knew that a few sec onds more of self pity would bring to Katie an attack of hysteria. She threw up her head as If she had been struck, but she quieted down instantly. Needed—Ten Dollars. "Forglf,” she said contritely, and then speaking slowly, she began her story’: "I tell you trut* about Mamie tak ing me movies, buying me sodas,” she began, "but I tell you beeg lie ven I say, Mamie's mudder she not know. She do know, but she no can splk English goot, so Mamie she do talking. She say dey have oncle In New York, got fur store, but he have bad partner, try to sheet heem out of eferyting. So oncle tlnk he beat liee's partner at hee’s own game, so he send fur coats here to hide for heem until he can get tings straight ened out. "But Mamie,” she went on, "she say partner cute man und erf he inlss tings maybe he send poliss. So she no vant tings In her house, und she say nobody efer tlnk looking here. Und—und—" Katie showed signs of breaking down again. “She say, like I tell you, she let me buy coat sheep, but dot not de vurst. She gif me ten dollars to keep my mout shut—und I spent dot ten —und now vot I do I don't know. I no dars tell Jeem." Even In the face of the ugly prob lem she had brought upon me, I bit hack a smile at the optimism I de tected beneath her self reproach. She knew that In some way I would get her out of the dilemma, but she did not Intend to minimize her grief nnd remorse until the relief had material ized. To avoid the hyeterlcal fit I dreaded I gave her the assurance she craved first. “I will lend you the ten dollars to give hack to Mamie,” I said “and you cap pay me hack a little each week until It la all settled. In that way Jim need not know. But,” this as severely as I could speak, "you have been a very had girl, Katie, and—well tell me, didn’t you suspect those things were stolen when Mamie told you that wild story?” I knew the answer before she gave It, and I iwi 1 rl a mental tribute to the imaginative powers of the girl Mamie or whoever provided her with the In genious tale ahe had relnted to Katie. "No, Missis Graham, honest, hop» to die, I didn’t," my little maid as serted atoutly, "she sounded so smooth and slick. But I vent to movie* Oder night, and der# vos girl dot Oder girl put something ofer mlt diamonds and emeralds, und I get me to ttnkln'. Den I smell two mouses, und T go nearly crazy till you come home un I ran tell you." I never had thought to bless the movies which lmve played so large a part In my little maid s mental ami emotional life, but 1 sent up a little paean of thankfulness fop the particu lar thriller which had brought her to the point of confiding In me. That she had told me the wole truth at last J was convinced, and for a few minutes I ant silent, revolving In my mind what was best to he done, while Katie sat dumbly watching me, her widely-opened eves looking like those of a trustful puppy, ”T Will go down stairs snd get you ten dollars.” T said finally, “nnd you p.ntst take it over to Mamie at ones. Tell her she must corn* here Ini mediately and take these things away.” Katie shuddered sway from me In patent fright. "Oh, t no dare go ofer dere. tell her dot!” she aald. "pot Mamie she awful nice ven she goot nstursd. hut know vot she do to me v*n she find out dot I tell on her.” Her words only confirmed the thing I was trying to smother. It never would do to let Katie go alone across the road. “Very well, Katie," I said slowly, "I will go with you. Get your hat and coat.” (Burgess Bedtime Stories v, , - -- - - . „^/ By THORNTON W.

Timmy the Flying Squirrel, like Spooky and Screech Owl, prefers to sleep all day and be abroad after the coming of the Black Shadows. He dearly loves the dusk, when it Is not real dark, yet is not light. And he lov'ps the moonlight. This night just suited Timmy. It was too fine a night to stay Inside. Had he had the least idea that Spooky the Screech Owl was sitting In the top of that very tree and had seen him enter his house, he wouldn't hftve thought of coming out again for a long time. But he didn't know that Spooky was there, and so, of course, he had no idea that he had been watched. He remained Inside only a few moments. Mrs. Timmy had not returned, and he decided to go look for her. He left the doorway of his home with one of his famous jumps and sailed over to the foot of the next tree. As he landed on the trunk of the tree he caught a glimpse of what seemed like a moving shadow be hind him. Timmy dodged around the trunk, and Spooky continued on past, with a disappointed snap of his bill. Then began one of those games of catch-meif-you-can which the little people of the Green Forest and the Then He Would Sail to Another Tree. Old Orchard and the Green Meadows play so often. Spooky waa trying to do the catching. Kvery time he miss ed he would perch near the top of the nearest tree and watch. Timmy, having dodged around the trunk of a tree, would cling there motionless f^r some time, tie never could tell Just where Spooky was. Ae soon es he would climb up as silently as he could until he was high enough to jump. Then he would srII to another tree and the same thing would hap pen all over. But after this had happened three or four times Timmy discovered that he was *no longer being followed. 'T've fooled him." said Timmy to himself. “Now, I must find Mrs. Timmy and warn her that Spooky Is hunting in the Old Orchard." Away he went In a series of won derful. sailing Jumps, and presently he found Mrs. Timmy on tha edge BARBARA LA MARR CONWAY TEARLE and an all-ttar cad —IN— “THE WHITE MOTH” NEIGHBORHOOD THEATERS BOULEVARD - - 33d and Leavenworth Colleen Moore and Kenneth Harlan in "APRIL SHOWERS*' GRAND ------ 16th and Binnejr JOHN GILBF.hT in "JUST OFF BROADWAY" Jech Mulhall in "The Social Buccaneer** LOTHROP - - - - - 24th and Lothrop , MAE BUSCH in "GIMME" Poean't hurl on# bit’ Prop a little* 'Tumum" on an aching corn, in atnntly that corn atnpa hurting.

IVhen at last they had eaten all their stomachs would hold and had Jumped for the sheer pleasure of sail ing through the air until they were tired, they decided to go home. So back to the Old Orchard they started, and jumping from tree to tree, made straight for the little house which was now their home. Mrs. Timmy was In the lead. As she sailed from the next tree down to the foot of the tree on the trunk of which that little house was fatt ened Timmy squeaked a warning. He had seen Spooky swoop after Mrs. Timmy. Just in the nick of time she dodged around the trunk of the tree. Spooky flew up to a branch Just above that house. Then It was that Tlmmv knew that Spooky had found out where they lived and was watch ing that house. The next story: “Timmy and Mrs. Timmy Reach a Decision.” (Copyright.
