For he will collect, whether she likes it or not . . . It's easy to say you are willing to take the consequences of an uncon-ventional act. It's not quite so simple as all that, because you can't decide what the conse-quences are to be and when you are to be confronted with them. Sometimes they threat-en the very happiness for wlpch you once risked all. and woman ever felt themselves so truly man and wife as we did. We never thought of the irregularity of our relationship; we had decided once and for all that ours was a truer marriage than hundreds that are approved every day. I suppose we always intended to straighten it out, but the years went so fast and were so happy that nothing seemed to be missing. Divorce Too Late. "Now, to go back to the old town, hunt up Harry, and make arrange-ments for a divorce without the chil-dren suspecting that something ex-traordinary was going on, is utterly out of the question. And even if I did, what would it accomplish since Dick is not within reach? The slight-est suspicion of it would break Pam's heart, and shame my proud, hand-some confident boy. They would lose faith in their mother forever. "When Dick and I first decided to take this step 18 years ago," the letter goes on, "we faced the con-sequences or thought we did, squarely. We even spoke pf a possi-ble child, and I remember saying that if we had one he or she would be a little gipsy who wouldn't worry about conventional oversights. We felt that we were strong enough to rise above the law, and to us both it seemed preposterous that an irre-sponsible, idle, impecunious and im-provident man like Harry should have any power over our lives. "But Dick Junior is NOT an un-conventional gipsy type of boy, and my little Pamela is the clinging gen-ti- e type, and I don't dare think of what the truth would mean to them. What is the right way out, one that will save us all?" I'm not answering this letter, be-cause as far as I can see, there is no answer. When and if Dick Sen-io- r comes home after months, it might be possible for Helen to per-suade him to make things as right as they can be made now. If he doesn't come back, perhaps Helen could confide in her mother-in-la-ask the old lady to make the chil-dren of her son her heirs. Husband Always a Threat. To find Harry now wouldn't do much good because Helen, even if divorced, couldn't be married to Dick until Dick returns, and unless Harry has somewhat improved he might seriously threaten her peace of mind, snd betray her to her chil-dre- So that the only thing to do is go on this way for the present, and hope that time time that brings about so many unexpected solutions to our human mistakes and pro-blemswill offer an opportunity soon-er or later to straighten out all this. It is one thing to call the tune at 22 and feel quite willing to face the consequences, and it is another to pay the piper when he comes around with his bill. Real consequences have a maddening way of being much more complicated. WTj YA orkw Pearson (jQ&v4 J- - t - Washington, D. C. REVISE WARSHIP PLANS Due in part to the fact that the U. S. navy had not had opportunity to profit from the experience of en-gaging in any major naval battles between 1812 and 1942, some of our biggest and fastest ships now under construction are being revised. The main factor being changed in the blueprints is extra precau-tion against Are. This is the lesson learned from the aircraft carriers Wasp and Lex-ington, and the cruiser Boise, all swept by fire after the direct .dam-age of battle. Since then the bureau of ships has made a study of fire hazards, finding that even an all-ste- vessel can be swept by fire when tremen-dous heat Is engendered, as from ex- - ploding shells and burning oil and gasoline. New plans call for elimination of linoleum flooring, substitution of spun glass for cork in insulation, de-crease in paint, and elimination of interior woodwork. Also, there will be larger fire hose and better fire fighting equipment generally. Navy hopes to put an end to the grief of losing ships by fire after they have survived the battle. Note: In the War of 1812, fire was a real hazard to wooden ships. But in the Civil war the only real en-gagement was between the Monitor and Merrimac which were not much bigger than modern escort vessels. In the Spanish-America- n war, there were no real naval battles and only one life was lost at Santiago, when an American sailor fell down a hatch on the Texas. In the World war, the U. S. navy got in too late to partici-pate in any naval activities other than convoy work. FDR'S SURPRISE One thing that didn't get out about the "surprise" party at the White House for Speaker Sam Rayburn, on Sam's 61st birthday, was a little frill added by the President. Rayburn was called to the White House with other congressional lead-ers ostensibly to discuss the legis-lative program for the new session. But when the group arrived, all but Rayburn were ushered into the pri-vate office of Economic Stabilizer Jimmy Byrnes. The speaker was told that the President wished to see him alone for a few minutes. The two men discussed legisla-tive problems for a few minutes. Meantime, the President was keep-ing a sharp eye on the clock. Sud-denly he broke out: "Sam, the reason I asked you to come in here alone was to discuss a personal matter that has been worrying me." Rayburn eyed him curiously, said nothing. "It's about you, Sam," continued the President without batting an eyelash. "We're old friends and I feel I can talk to you frankly. I've got reports from Capitol Hill that the Democrats are dissatisfied with your leadership. They think you're getting too old to be speaker." At that precise moment, Demo-cratic Congressmen Cliff Woodrum of Virginia, Bob Ramspeck of Geor-gia, Republican Leader Joe Martin of Massachusetts, Rep. Jim Wads- - worth of New York and other house members burst into the President's office, led by Jimmy Byrnes. Together they began singing "Happy Birthday to You" at the top of their voices. "That was perfect timing, fel-lows," beamed the President He had planned it all very carefully himself. JOE MARTIN VS. SAM RAYBURN Privately Republican Leader Joe Martin never had any intention of letting the Republicans organize congress and elect him as speaker. Until 1944, this responsibility is the last thing he wants. However, the canny Republican leader took keen delight in keep-ing the opposition guessing and car-ried on his little joke until the very last. When he marched into Speaker Rayburn' s office with the commit-tee that was to escort Rayburn to the floor, following his Martin was grinning from ear to ear. "Sam," he said, "I've got some bad news for you. I hope you can hold up under the shock. You've been speaker." MERRY-GO-ROUN- D C.
