ItASKKItVIM,. Raleigh. May 25.—Two new types of fishing licenses authorized by the General Assembly of 1935 in the form of daily permits of sl.lO for non.resi dents and 60 cents for regents have been distributed to wardens and other selling agents and are now available. J. D. Chalk, State game and inland fisheries commissioner announced to day. Formerly, no provision was made for a daily permit for residents of the State fishing out of the counties in which they reside, the purchase of a Statewide license having been neces sary in such cases. The fee for a Statewide season fishing license is $2.10. * Non-residents have previously been able to fish one day on a permit cost ing only six cents, but the new law adds 50 cents to this amount. Fish eries officials (believe that collections from the increased fee will be sub stantially larger than from the old li cense. This type of license has been especially popular in resort areas and near the borders of adjoining states. While the resident of North Caro lina fishing in any county other- than his home county is given the same privilege of buying a daily fishing per mit as the non.resident under the new statute, it is believed by fisheries of ficials that most of the anglers who have hitherto bought Statewide sea son licenses will continue that prac tice to avoid the delay occasioned by several purchases of permits. Any an gler, it is pointed out. who plans to fish more than three times during a season will find economy in taking out the season slip. ; On the other hand, increased rev enues are expected through the col lections from the occasional fisher men who usually indulges in the spor t only once or twice each year- tout who might have refrained from going on such trips because only season per mits were available. It is also believed that the new schedule will promote wider spread voluntary cooper ation on the part of the occasional fisherman with the game and fish laws. Gas Company Out To Compete With Electric Charges In the S|r Walter Hotel, Dally DiMpnteh Rnrena, BY J. O. r.ASKRnviI,!,, Raleigh, May 25—At least one gas company in North Carolina is pre paring to offer the electric companies some real competition in the heating and refrigeration field by offering lower rates, a new “inducement rate” and by translating cubic feet of gas into the equivalent kilowatt hours of electricity, Utilities Commissioner Stanley Winborne pointed out today. The company that has put into effect the new and lower rates is the North Carolina Gas Company, which serves Henderson, Oxford, Reidsville, Lexing ton, Elizabeth City, Erlanger, Spray, Draper and Thomasville. Its new in ducement rate goes the electric power companies one better, in that it is available to customers of less than a year’s standing. The electric com panies do not offer this inducement rate to customers of less than one year’s standing. Under the new rate, the first 500 cubic feet, equal to 77.6 kilowatt hours of electricity, will cost the con sumer $1.20, which is the monthly minimum charge. For the next 500 cubic feet, equal to 77.6 kilowatt hours the charge is 80 cents or equal to 3.1 cents per kilowatt hour of heat ener gy, thus making the total cost of the first 200 cubic feet of gas, equal to 155.2 kilowatt hours of electricity, cost only $2. This is a reduction of 20 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, the present rate being 2.20 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Noble and Powell were studying the character of the applicants and of the present patrolmen or were check ing up on their political qualifications and connections. Some are also won dering why Powell should be consult, ed iby the assistant commissioner of revenue with regard to either the character or the political qualifica tions of preifjnt patrolmen, or appli cants. 1 No definite plans have yet been an nounced by Assistant Commissioner of Revenue Noble for increasing the size of the patrol, although it is known that at least 2,000 applications for jobs on the enlarged patrol have been received already and that more are coming in every day. It is expect ed that about 200 of the best quali fied applicants will be selected for a special training school and camp that will be held some time in July and last from 30 to 45 days. It is then ex pected that the men who make the •best record in this training camp will be given jobs as patrolmen. There will be jobs open for only 64 more patrol men, unless some of the present 57 patrolmen resign or are “fired, since the new law limits the number of patrolmen to 121. Officials of the Department of Rev enue are spending a good deal of time now studying the new; State championships in 6 years, not to men tion 1-1 straight state titles—then that would seem to be something really worth writing home about. It seems almost incredible. One doesn’t have to bast to say there’s no such collegiate achievement in the South, and one wonders if there have been any such records in drivers’ license law and working out the various application blanks and forms that must be adopted and print ed before any licenses can be issued, Director George S. Scott, of the di vision of accounts, has already drawn up several trial forms for both the application blanks and the actual li. cense forms to be submitted to Com missioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell and Assistant Commissioner of Rev enue IMI. C. S. Noble, Jr., for their ap proval. Several hundred letters) have al ready been received from persons ask irig for application blanks for drivers’ licenses, Scott said. But since none of the forms has even been decided up on yet, these applicants ave being told that it will be a month or two yet (be fore the license will be ready. It was hoped to get the application blanks and license forms ready as soon after July 1 as possible, but it may be Au gust 1 before all of the machinery is ready for the distribution of the new drivers’ licenses. According to present plans, each ap pneant for a drivers’ license will have o fill out a form giving a complete history and description of himself or nerself, including the color of the eyes r^iH^ air ’ hei&ht - weight, age. place of n< rf, and other similar data. This form will have to be filled out in the b sence of either a highway patrol „)to .°. r , a notary public, who must v that the answers given to the yai ious questions are true, in order to falsifi< ' at ‘on of descriptions and other information, the nation. The holders of this record are the track men of the University of NorH Carolina, who recently won their third successive outdoor title.

When Val'i orders arrive, transferring him t<: Puget Sound Navy Yard, Lia is hit terly disappointed at the thought ol leaving China. At the commandant s reception at the Navy Yard Vat finds Janice F.dding, daughter of Captain Edding, and his childhood sweetheart. Be had last seen her in Shanghai when he said goodby to her in a hufl and that same day met Lia. The Prestons meet Maurice Cordray, ■ aviation executive, ivho induces Lia to try for a part in connection with a masked ball he is supervising. Later with several others Vat and Lia dine at Cordray’s home. Lia and Cordray become quite interested in one another and Val is glad of a chance lo talk with Janice again. Trying Chinese robes on LAa in his , workshop , Cordray, also in costume suddenly catches fire when Lia in >•advertently knocks a cigaret lighter from his hand He starts to run. V,al tackles him and rolls him in n rug. Unhurt, Cordray thanks Voi profusely for saving his life. (BOW GO ON WITH THE STORY/ CHAPTER 22 ON THE memorable evening of the ball the clubhouse was tilled with « gay throng-. Amid the rainbow brocades, Mandarin coats and surongs «f the other guests, Val made a dash ing Bengali Maharaja in cloth of gold Bhirt and trousers topped by a tunic at maroon velvet bordered and belted with gold embroidery. But. the gold tn turban that bore an elaborately jeweled pin and tassel, was cocked sver blue eyes that, were rebellious. Be had had his own amusing plan for =*- costume. But Lia and Cordray had been insistent that he borrow this and to satisfy them he had finally consented. Lia, masked, remained only a .short .time at the ball, then disap peared backstage to prepare for her number. All that day she had been in a highly irritable state. And now, «fct 11 o’clock, when everyone was unmasking to view the tableaux and dances, Val stood alone in a shadowy corner, amazed to realize how raw his own nerves had grown. Os all the scenes, Ida’s %vas the .only solo and he waited anxiously to see how her dance would be received. Poor little kid, she had toiled cease lessly; it would break her heart if she should not make good. The Japanese instructor. Sakoh, was a great artist, of course, but he had proved a slave driver and harsh in his manner toward Lia. The chap, it appeared, was a fanatic in his virulent hatred of the Chinese, an extremist who evidently had resented Lia’s frequently ex pressed love of China. She had been secretive about her part, the Masque Manchu, but Val had gathered it was to depict—in the pantomimic manner of such dances—the still-doubtful establishment of Manchuria as a separate state. Lia was to interpret first the old hampering rule of the Chinese—then war—after that, the struggle when ancient customs were stripped away and new standards machinery introduced. The the triumph of a new state. ;A large order, Val thought, for one omall girl to put over. ■ p?he Masque Malay, performed by a half-dozen girls and men of the younger set, was surprisingly good. 'Everyone seemed delighted with the lovely, if conventional, effects, Cord ray had achieved by scenery, light ing and costuming. In turn and showing increasing inspiration, fol lowed Masque Japanese, Masque des Indes, Masque Cambodie—exquisitely conoeived pictures suggesting old time lithographs in their quaint pos turings and mellow golden overtones. At last came the climax of the evening, Masque Manchu. As if sensing this might be keyed to a higher pitch, the audience sat forward in its chairs. Hypercritical -eyes awaited this solo to be per formed bj the Yard’s newest and most mysterious member. In his dim corner, Val felt his heart rise In hie throat and beat there. A conventional orchestra had ac companied the other scenes, but aew the acreech of a Chinese fiddie, it seems that a large share of the ere* dit must go to Coach R. A. (Bob) Fetzer and his assistant, Coach Dale Ranson. The mild-mannered, soft spoken, likeable athlete director of the University has made Carolina famous throughout the nation for the track teams he produces. iii! i Wmm. Val stood alone in a shadowy corner. the wailing of Oriental flutes, the distant thud of u drum sounded forth. The velvet cm tains swept hack to reveal a stage shadowed in black where, poised before a great window that framed the first, faint opal ol the dawn, a slim figure could he dimly discerned. Lia! In silhouette, the line of her body seemed to droop and curve in an extremity of hopelessness. Pres ently thin points of colorless light reached through the murk to touch her. Aroused she raised her head, lifted her hands into graceful play and glided forward into a mincing, Oriental measure. The shadows retreated slowly. No wonder she appeared so exaggerated ly tall and slender. Added to the enormous black head-dress of a Manchu lady, decorated with flowers and flashing jewels, she was wear ing stilt-like clogs. About her slim body was wrapped the trailing length of a ceremonial robe, blue as turquoise, embroidered with golden dragons and bordered with helio trope. But could that really be Lia? The pulse in Val’s throat beat insistently, i lie strange, expressionless features, the staring smirk, couldn’t belong to the laughing youngster he had first known in Shanghai! As she undu lated into a deepening ray of light, lie caught his breath sharply with the realization she was wearing one of Cordray’s masks, cunnningly fashioned in a distorted likeness of her own little face. Ihe dusk on the stage grew denser hut the sky beyond the great window began to liven and glow with angry purple and orange and raw red. Against the violent discord of color and to the quickening tempo of fiddles and flutes, the movements of the dancer became desperately agitated. Clinging to the shadows she seemed combating an unseen power. God. how had she learned to make you feel like this! Every muscle strained, Val shared her ter ror of some tremendous force that compelled her to approach the win dow and face that tempestuous sky. He felt as if his oody were resisting with hers. Fighting—fighting—arms convulsed as frenzied serpents—a di um beating louder—nearer—nerves stretched taut At last she is forced fainting into the inferno of light. From *, furious horizon tongues of violent color leap and writhe about her huddled figure in a blaze of fuchsia, absinthe green and sapphire Abruptly the flames burn lower. Then, at a mighty and discordant crash of cymbals, the dancer jerks upright, tears off bead-dr.ess and mask, rids herself of robe and wood en clogs. Clad in a long Chinese coat of shiny black, her glossy hair seeming to be lacquered on her round head, arms flung upward, she begins to sway . Strange lights like snakes of silver and cold blue dart out to distort her body and cause it to cast a grs st.

Her face, witch like, ugly in its intensity, stands out from the dusk. Lurking in the shadows she seems something fur tive, evil, a child of darkness who darts through the light like a flitting bat. Black magic! His strained eyes follow the ary* rating figure. You can’t blame this on a mask! All about him people are stirring nervously—murmuring. I.ike himself they are x-epelled, shaken. Her small feet seeming scarcely to touch the stage, the dancer is swept before (lie resistless force. Now her arms beat like slim flails. .She repeats movements with the monotony of a machine. Faster —faster —the machine speeding up— an abrupt stop. A return to treach erous withdrawals, blind groping*. Again the machine keyed to a tense, ever-increasing speed until suddenly she whirls straight into the light to stop with arms up-flung before the great window—a small and pathetic sable-clad figure against the subsid ing riot of a still-threatening, Asian sky. The black curtains fell. Lights flashed on. From tire spectators came a relieved gasp followed h.v & pregnant moment, of silence. All about him Val saw uneasiness, dis taste on the faces of men and wom en. Adroitly executed, yet. ttie dance had made an unfortunate impression. A consummate artist that .Japanese Sakoh. But. damn it all. lie had used Lia to express his fanatical hatred and contempt for the unfortunate Chinese his own country men hoped to subdue —— Val started the applause that in creased from a ripple until it flowed politely over the audience. The small, oddly alien figure in the long black sheath appeared alone to how low with a hand over her heart After that all the players from the other masques trooped out onto the stage to take their encores that In stantly increased to a thunder of ap proval. The clapping continued. Ther* was laughter, conversation, people* rising, chairs being moved so that the ball might continue. Val stayed on in his shadowy corner. He still could scarcely believe that the girl who had danced was Lia. That verish creature who had interpreted her part with such uncanny skill, couldn’t be his wife! What had come over her? Or was it he wh® was mad? Just now when tie watched her—looking like some ua wholesome, evil thing of the night— he was repelled, nauseated. VYher* was the Ida he had laughed with and loved? For weeks now, lie real ized, he had been vainly searching her. This girl who danced tonight had taken her place. She was same one be didn’t know. And ns?** would. (TO BE QONTIWV&Dt
