OFF THE RECORD
— —
By FRANK McNAUGHTON
OKLAHOMA CITY Oct 22—
The administration-sponsored am-
endment for repeal of prohibition
and control of liquor will contain
some jolts for:
1 The governor E W Marland
2 The wets
3 The drys
4 The legislature
E L Richardson Lawton one
of the Oklahoma tax commission-
ers will draft the proposal He is
conferring with the best legal tal-
ent in the state the wets and drys
editors ministers and others Here 1
is what Richardson plans:
An amendment repealing pro-
hibition and setting up an inde-
pendent special legislature to han-
die all liquor laws This legisla-
ture would be composed of but
nine men one from each supreme
court Judicial district elected by
the district Judges in each su-
preme court district All liquor
laws would be passed by the nine
men who would be paid only while
in session and would be up for re-
election every two years
A commission named ' by the
governor with the consent of the
special legislature would admin-
ister the liquor laws and would be
removable only with consent of
the special legislature
A high official in the federal
alcohol control unit heard Rich-
ardson's plan outlined and pro-
nounced it a "knockout" He pre-
dieted that "every state will want
constitutional amendments to set
up this plan once they've seen
what it will do"
The srecial legislature if suc-
cessful might lead tog public de-
mand for a unicameral legislature
for all purpose or at least for a
reduction in the present unwieldy
house and senate totaling 160
members
The nine "liquor legislators"!
would be the highest type of men!
available Richardson believes
They would be a small group sub-
ject to the pitiless light of pub-
licity with so little opportunity to
hide any misdoings If any were
contemplated that honesty would
not only be mandatory but un-
avoidable Their laws would be subject to !
review by the courts They would !
be subject to call by the governor 1
or might convene themselves to
meet emergency situations They
would handle nothing but liquor!
problems
1 -
They would not be subject to
patronage demands from constituents-
Nor would they be - the
type of men to demand patron-1
ages Richardson believes
Governos could not interfere
with the liquor-legislature they
could not legislate it out of office
as has been done with some high-
way commimions The same thing
holds true of the liquor-commission
!
Both special legislature and
commission would be backed by
the vested rights conferred by con-
stitutional amendment If Rich-
ardson writes the amendment you
can bet it will be ironclad and
puncture-proof
Getting it into the constitution
may be something else again

SYNOPSIS
Five days before his marriage
date socially prominent Sharlene
Standring's fiance Kent Damerell
millionaire sportsman is called to
New York to the deathbed of Cora
Manning a former love Cora shot
herself upon learning of his en-
gagement Kent grants Cora's dy-
ing request that he marry her But
after the ceremony she rallies
Kent tries in vain to supprms the
newspaper stories He then tele-
phones Sharlene Her mother
takes the message Though it is a
terrific blow Sharlene takes the
news stoically To offset the pub-
licity of her jilting Sharlene asks
her best friend Stuart Pennington
—struggling young artist who has
loved her for years—to marry her
Though it is the realization of his
dream Stuart knows her proposal
is a mere reaction to hurt pride
Enroute to Yuma Arizona for the
ceremony he wonders if it would
not be wiser for Sharlene to wait
until Damerell were free She
insists on going through with
the marriage After the cere-
mony the young couple fly to the
Grand Canyon Julie Devore
Stuart's model who loves the
young artist is stunned at the news
of his marriage She goes to Mrs
Standring and tells her she was
engaged to Stuart Lucien Morrow
the motion picture director and
friend of Stuart enters the scene
Julle-edmits she was eirreng in in-
volving Stuart when the diplo-
matic Lucien offers to star her in
a picture Though her inmost
thoughts are of Kent Sharlene
tells Stuart that she wants to live
a normal married life but he pre-
fers to wait for her love When
they arrive at Honolulu the band
plays "Song of the Islands"
Sharlene unable to contain herself
weeps bitterly Later she prom-
ises Stuart it will not happen
again
CHAPTER XVIII
The Island days passed in a
whirl of kaleidoscopic color filled
with sighing harmonies of steel
guitars and plaintive voices of
brown singers and a swift surg-
ing countercurrent of 'woks hospi-
tality Stuart spun ceaselessly
again but now in spinning he was
learning to arrest his mind and
contemplate things as he did on his
Hollywood hill-top
His eyes were upon Sharlene
often anxiously as she gyrated
for her there was left only this mad
dashing about in pursuit of pleas-
ure to tire out her body so that she
might sleep—and forg-A
For one thing Stuart was In-
creasingly grateful: Sharlene did
not loathe him when she awoke to
the full realization of her pcin
When that tortured look came into
her eyes and her gaze sought the
Eastern horizon she crept into
Stuart's arms and silently asked
for help Kent Damercil never in-
truded himself again—in words
But they both knew that he was
there the specter at the marriage
feast And the top of life kept
spinning
Sharlene rushed Stuart to a
cocktail party tip Moana Valley
They were late of course the party
being cocktails and cocktails ahead
of them Stuart was not efen al-
lowed to look at a perfect rain-
bow which spanned the valley high-
er up where the rays of the set-
ting sun struck through the rain
mist on the mountains
"Thash a rainbow!" said his host
"Millions of 'em all the time Look
—I aged thigh okolehau m'sell—in
charcoal—whash a rainbow?"
"But the colors are more clelrly
defined than any I've eves seen
said Stuart going to a window
"See Sharlene there are two—"
"Here" insisted the host "when
you've had a coupla these you can
see three rainbows Guarantee it!"
"We can't stay long enough to
see three rainbows" Sharlene re-
gretfully told him We're due
pretty soon at a Japanese dinner"
"Well saki on top of this—and
you'll belong to the Rainbow Divi
lion Hal Hal" There was much
laughter
And so the top spun Stuart
found himself in a frail Japanese
tea-house above a noisy stream his
shoes discarded at the door They all
donned kimonos and knelt around
a low table consuming delectable
clam soup and a noble dish of
chicken and vegetables and eggs
cooked on a charcoal brazier at the
table by a little Japanese maid
Hot saki to drink Sharlene' s face
across from him a little hazy
through the smoke of many cigar-
ettes but a flushed animated

WASHINGTON Oct 22—(UP)
—Gov Eugene Talmadge bitter
New Deal foe and presidential
aspirant today won supreme court
recognition of his fight to have
the Bankhead cotton control act
declared unconstitutional
Government officials named in
s cult by the state of Georgia
were directed to show cause Nov

plaint in an original suit should

sing-song of the local patois—
Japanese and Hawaiian and Amer-
ican—indulged in by some of the
guests and the Japanese maid as
she etirred the rtiki void "Panty
pupule" giggling "Pla-crety wa-
hine like kaola—" To Stuart this
became the whine of the top which
was himself spinning Spinning
on and on being very gay for Shar-
lene Whirling to Waikiki the whole
parte for a moonlight swim
Everybody piling out of the three
taxicabs laughing and chattering
and scrambling for their bathing
togs
"Come on everybody" Sharlene's
voice "Have you all got your
suits? No no Tubby—Stuart will
pay the taxies"
Stuart took out his wallet It
had been getting thinner and thin-
ner Just tips and things like taxi
fares and the clothes for himself
that had become imperative The
hotel bills had been paid out of
Mrs Standring's generous letter of
credit which she had called a wed-
ding present in her note to Stuart
Sharlene flung money about reck-
lessly paying by check and seldom
had any cash in her purse for small
things She had used Stuart's
funds unthinkingly She would have
been appalled if she had realized
that she had flung away the pro-
ceeds of two of his pictures—that
it was all he had It had not oc-
curred to her yet thee of enures
Stuart was penniless Penniless—
she did not know the meaning of
the word! Her mother had always
handled the finances on their trips
Naturally she looked to Stuart to
do the same without thinking any
more of the source of supply now
than she did then
Stuart joined the others in the
warm soft water swimming in the
moon path toward Diamond Head
—under the Southern Cross Be
could not summon any more gayety
Humiliation was washing over him
with every lazy wave of the sea Be
was going to have to ask Sharlene
for money! Not only was it im-
possible for him to pay for things
for his wife but his wife was going
to have to pay for things for him
Food shaves— ye gods! — shoe-
shine pin-money Even the flower
leis he had ordered for her daily
She would have to pay for her own
flowers—if she had any His lit-
tle notes: "A Camelia Lei this
morning Sharlene because they're
like your throat" Yes and a sweet
little bill enclosed too
Tomorrow he would have to ask
Sharlene for money There was no
reprieve
"Come on Stuart! Don't be so
exclusive! Race you out to the
float!"
He roused himself to accept the
challenge then drove through the
water with keen powerful strokes
But the taate in his mouth was very
very bitter more bitter than the
salt of the sea
e
When Stuart after a sleepless
night went down to the dining
' room for breakfast he was stir-
prised to find Sharlene at their
table in the sunny window over-
looking the sea
"So you slept late too" he said
as he joined her "I supposed
you'd been in swimming and bad
breakfast hours ago"
"I was up early" she said
sparkling "but I've been learning
some balsa from Lellanil"
"Really?"
"It's a surprise for you! They're
the ancient grateful hulas of the
home You'll love their symbolism"
"That's swell!" ha said with
mechanical enthusiasm for he was
nerving himself to bring up that
beastly question of money "I
didn't know you went in for native
dances"
"Oh I love them Stuart—not for
exhibition—just for my own pleas-
ure I feel that I understand a
country when I can dance its
dances"
He nodded with a little smile and
then as she attacked her papaia
with hungry enjoyment he took a
firm grip on himself
"Sharlene—" he began resolutely
but a bell-boy was coming up to
their table with letters on a tray
"The Calawaii came in early this
morning from Los Angeles air"
While Sharlene pounced eagerly
on the letters Stuart dug into his
almost empty pockets for the in
evitable tip He knew when he
glanced at the scant handful of
coins he produced that he could not
delay the hateful business any
longer
"Sharlene—" be began abruptly
when the boy had left -
"Oh—here 'a one for you dear"
She tossed him a letter and tore
open one of her own

Four weeks guaranteed at one-fifty

Wardrobe—the clothes were going
to be gorgeous She was so thrilled!
A little stilted sentence hoping
he was having a good time "Al-
ways your own Julie" A post-
script thanking him for the money
he had left for her and adding
that there was no use talking about
paying it back as he'd never be
short of cash any more
Sharlene's letter was from her
mother Very long She perused
it smiling at times
Stuart waited for her to finish
reading it drinking his coffee
nerving himself He wondered if
he were feeling as wives had felt
since time immemorial: Waiting to
get the Lord and Master's atten-
tion to ask timidly: "Could you let
me have a little money this week
dear? I need a haircut—" And
the gruff answer: "Where's that
quarter I gave you last week?"
Sharlene was looking startled—
frowning Some news of Kent
Damerell no doubt She was fold-
ing the letter slowly eyes donm-
cast Well he was going to get this
thing over with and be through
with it
- "Sharlene—" he began again
-4rately -
"Yes dear?" She answered ab-
sently without looking up
"Why if it isn't Stuart Penning-
ton!" A man had approached their
table unnoticed by either of them
Stuart glanced up annoyed at hay-
ing the bone of contention removed
again just when he had it in his
teeth But then he saw that it was
William Forrester the distin-
guished marine painter from Los
Angeles He rose quickly grasp-
ing the other's outstretched hand
"I just got in on the Calawaii
What on earth are you doing here
Pennington?"
Stuart turned to Sharlene "May
present Mr Forrester Sharlene?
My wife Mr Forrester"
"Won't you join us?" invited
I Sharlene with her usual charm-
ing graze Stuart pulled out a
chair for him
I "Well well!" Forrester said
bluntly "I didn't know you were
married Pennington That's what
comes of seldom looking at the news-
papers—except the art comments
And by the way you're smeared
all over those art columns my boy"
"What?"
"Fact Didn't you know it?"
"Oh yes Stuart!" Sharlene
broke in happily "Mother's let-
ter mentioned it I'm so glad!"
1 Forrester glanced at her impa-
tiently For him Sharlene was not
the important one She was just
la wife
"The critics are hailing you as
a new Messiah Seems they're sick
of empty spaces dominated by raw
color without form and you've come
along with your figures that tell
stories—just in time"
"Well!" said Stuart rather
breathless
"For Pete's sake why aren't
you there?" demanded Forrester
"This is no time to be away You
ought to be down at the Gallery
every day Don't tell me you don't
want to sell 'cm!"
"Indeed I do but I'm on my
honeymoon"
"I see" Ile looked again at
Sharlene "But but you've ar-
rived my boy! I went to see the
pictures They're powerful Your
color ravished my eyes—your
draughtsmanship is superb Even
if the public don't get your symbol-
ism they'll buy 'em for the com-
position" "You can't sell them yet Stuart"
Sharlene protested 'I haven't
made my choice of the ones I want"
Forrester's jaw dropped and he
stared at her in angry amazement
"Got to save some to hang up in the'
parlor eh? That's a bride for
you!"
Sharlene twinkled delightedly at
the old man "But his pictures rav-
ish my eyes too!"
Stuart stood up "Will you ex-
cuse me a minute? I think I'll radio
Abe Foreman and ask if he's sold
any"
"Tell him not to sell anything
till we get home" Sharlene called
after him unperturbed by Forrest-
er's glare
But the message Stuart sent Abe

To offset the gossip attendant

ning his former sweetheart Shar-
lene Standring young California
society girl marries Stuart Pen-
nington a struggling young artist

they marry both believing she

for her love Sharlene enters into
a life of gayety to forget and
the faithful Stuart follows trying

ful to him so he cables Abe Fore-
man art dealer to rush any money

sale of Pennington's paintings
Stuart meets an old friend Wil-
liam Forrester distinguished ma-
rine painter
CHAPTER XIX
Some of the gay people who con-
stantly surrounded Sharlene bore
her off for a shopping tour which
left Stuart free for a refreshing
hour with the old marine painter
After that Stuart wandered about
unwilling to leave the hotel until he
had a return message from Fore-
man In the late afternoon he
walked out to the street where the
Id women crouched on the curb
making endless garlands of bright
blossoms He Lought a lei of ginger
flowers for Sharlene with the last
fifty cents he had in his pocket
When Sharlene came in a bell-
boy came with her laden with many
packages
"Hello Stuart!" she greeted him
gaily "Heavens it's hot! Wait
till I get into a cool kimono and
I'll show you all my loot!"
When she returned wrapped in
a clinging cool green negligee she
brought a string of jade beads in
her hand Stuart rose and placed
the yellow ginger lei about her
neck He did it with a little cere-
mony all his own She sniffed the
flowers happily exclaiming with
her never-failing appreciation:
"Oh lovely! Aren't they fragrant?
You're so thoughtful dear!"
Then she took off the lei and sub-
stituted the jade beads turning to
the mirror 'Look Stuart! I got
these for only five hundred dollars'
Behind her he dropped the gin-
ger lei already wilting into the
wastebasket
Sharlene began to show him the
rest of her "loot" from the shops of
Honolulu There was a Japanese
kimono of rich heavy crepe its de-
sign a shower of apple blossoms on
a dove grey background and a cost-
ly obi of silver brocade There were
antique Chinese embroideries East
Indian inlaid boxes and handwoven
latthala mats for the sun room at
home
In the midst of the display the
radiogram came:
HOLDING EVERYTHING 1
UNTIL AFTER EXHIBIT
STOP BOOST PRICE STOP
YOU SHOULD BE HERE 1
ABE FOREMAN
"Weil I'm glad he hadn't sold
anything" observed Sharlene She
lay down on the couch to rest not
noticing how fixedly Stuart was
staring at his radio message
"Oh Katie!" The maid came In
from Sharlene's bedroom "Cock-
tails for eight in half an hour
Katie and I'll wear my yellow chif-
fon" As Katie disappeared with the
purchases and wrappings Sharlene
looked over at Stuart "Where's
my lei?"
He flushed a little and plucked it
Out of the basket
"Why Stuart!" She looked at
him keenly "How could it have got
there?" Then with an amused lit-
tle smile she took off the jade neck-
lace and tossing it aside placed
the ginger lei over her shoulders
But he had resumed his hopeless
contemplation of the radiogram
"Sharlene let's take the next
boat back"
"What!"
"Would you mind? I should be
there—you heard what Forrester
said—and now Abe Besides I'm
doing nothing here—I'm not pro-
ducing—" "Why should you produce for a
while ? You need a rest and—"
"I don't need any rest I'm in the
full tide of ideas and enthusiasm
I've got to get them out of my sys-
11n1" "Well get some materials and set
to wwit on some Hawaiian scenes"
Ile ilia her a derisive loolt Eat
of public records
NYA officials declined to esti-
mate the cost of the work merely1
announcing that the "Four major
projects were submitted to the
Works Provress Administration
for the employment n! 00 r
c e capacities of young people
from relief families"
The projects scheduled to get
under way Nov 1 and end June
30 1936 will be:
1 Employ 55000 youths as
"leaders and assistants in the
establishment organization and
conduct of recreation and com-
nwnity activities Work In parks'

chance—but anyway I want to go
home I've got to sell something
Don't you understand?"
"Sell something? But Stuart—
that's the last thing I want!"
"Oh Sharlene—don't you see?
I'm out of money"
"Out of money? Why dear that
isn't possible—"
He was pacing the floc's and he
threw her one despairing look from
tortured blue eyes She sat up at
once and watched him a full minute
or two in silence
"Ohl What a thoughtless wretch
I've been!" she burst out suddenly
"Come here Stuart"
He came over to her frowning
touchy on edge She pulled him
down beside her and into her arms
It was the first time she had of-
fered to cares him other than the
casual little pats she was so accus-
tomed to giving her dearest friends
Her shoulder was soft and the
ginger flowers cool and fragrant
against his hot face

Stuart rose and placed the yellow ginger lei about her neck
"Listen dear" she said "Every-
thing I have is yours Nob only by
reason of—affection and utter
gratitude but by law" Ile started
to jerk away with a muttered ex-
clamation but she put his head
back under her chin 'No listen I
asked you into this partnership
I'm taking you away from your
work The Least I can do is to set
you free from money worry Can
you ever forgive me for not think-
ing rt it myself? I've been so sel-
fibe—zbinking about my own trou-
bles But you see Stuart I don't
know what the lack of money feels
like That's why I was so dense
I've always had it like the air we
breathe"
"I've always had to think about
it" he said ruefully from her shoul-
der "And I'm all inhibited about
taking money from a woman—"
"Silly! You aren't taking—it's
already yours And you're spend-
ing it for me I'll arrange at the
bank for a joint account You draw
whenever and however much you
please"
He sat up and looked at her
frowning incredulous 'I suppose
there are limits?"
"I don't know You'll have to go
into that with mother later There's
always seemed to be enough It's
my own income—separate from
hers"
"I'll make all I need" he said de-
fensively "Money doesn't mean
anything to me personally I al-
ways get enough to eat and pay for
Mr Jingle's gas—"
"And silk stockings for Julie---"1
she teased him hoping to lighten
his mood "Or some other model!"
"Julie earned all she got I
may never be able to take care of
you Sharlene but I'll not be a para-
site Those pictures Abe Fore-
man ias ought to bring in a fair
amount of cash—"

"Why of course dear! But now
that we're over here—won't you
wire him to hold theta until we get
home?"
He surrendered "All right
Sharlene Hut when can we go
home?"
She loolied at him with sudden
fright in her eyes
"Stuart—I civil fro home yet
I've got) to keep running Will you
run away with me—a while longer?
Listen Nether says Kent has
brought his wife out there—" her
voice failed
"Oh No of course we can't
go home then I—I reckon I've been
falling asleep in the garden after
all Sharlene'
"I need you Stuart" in a smoth-
ered voice
"As long as you do I'm yours to
command I reckon I just got ex-
cited—the male ego felt injured—
looks like a tempest in a teapot to
you eh?"
"No It was stupid of me to let
MJ
!yeti feel hurt for one second" She
stood up as he did and laid her hand
on his shoulder looking at him wist-
fully "I depend on you so Stuart
Am I being unfair?'
Before he could answer there
was a vigorous rat-tat-tat at the
door and the sound of much laugh-
ter and wise-cracking which an-
nounced the arrival of the guests
for cocktails Sharlene fled into her
bedroom to dress leaving Stuart to
do the honors
Late that night Sharlene slipped
on her dressing-gowe and went into
Stuart's room to yell him she had
made a date for them to ride horse-
back at ten so that if he wanted his
swim he would have to get up early
His light was off and he did not
hear her come in Ile was Hitting
before the table at the window in
a flood of bright moonlight His
arms were stretched out on the ta-
ble and his head laid upon them
concealing the little note book in
which he had painstakingly set
down his personal expenditures
planning to repay her when he could
earn money again It was just as
well that Sharlene did not see the
niJte book She would have wept
For a moment she thought he was
asleep Then 5 he saw that his hands
were clenched—clenched until the
nails bit the palms end the cords
in his wrists stood out He was suffering---fighting—silently
there all
alone It couldn't be the money
thing—she had fixed that up She
stood there very still thinking
It must be—ye that must be it
She hadn't been fair Stuart loved
her she should have remembered
that She had offered herself
but he had preferred to wait until
love came Ile had wanted the im-
age of Kent Damerell erased of
course But the waiting was diffi-
cult—for him
