This quotes Secretary of Labor Frances Per- Jcms as saying that re-employment in September had reached the highest point for the year, and went on to add that October would almost certainly be much better than September. Sep-tember. Production of electric equipment is booming and may even break the record of 1929. Steel production is up to approximately 57 per cent of capacity. New York retail trade leaders expect the sales trend to go on rising for several sev-eral months. Yet that is only a starter. week ending Oct. 15 stood at the highest point for any week since Nov. 7, 1937. Freight movement by truck is also up, the September figures for the first time this year showing show-ing an increase over the corresponding month in 1937. The New York Times business index stands at the year s high. In the Michigan auto-production belt things are booming, boom-ing, with men returning to work by the thousand and output of cars rising steadily. Increased movement of heavy commodities com-modities is reflected in the figures of Great Lakes shipping, which in October reached its highest level for the year. A recital of such facts makes rather dull reading, per haps. It is a little hard to see the realities behind those dry phrases. But the whole business is worth studying for it unquestionably reflects a trade revival of genuinely encouraging encour-aging dimensions.

THicTV yAes TOO SOOVJ False Living By X REPORTER For some time I had been becoming be-coming increasingly aware of a feeling of irked peevishness with writers whos writings seemed to imply, however vaguely, that times past are the best times. Many an heroic saga has been written in the last few decades which would seem to give previous pre-vious times and previous persons per-sons all the best of it in the matter mat-ter of contented living, gallantry, gallan-try, integrity, and the like. So when someone passed along "Quiet Cities" by Joseph Hergesheimer, who is one of the few living masters of English prose, I looked forward to a few hours of sheer enjoyment until it dawned on me that the man was making a comparison of' his life now with the lives of many others who lived in American times long gone, and that he was granting them the best of it in all respects. I felt little spots of warmth developing just over each cheekbone, cheek-bone, and knew I was eettine: an?rv But then on page 36i which ig earjy enough to give away any secret, the Old Maestro confessed con-fessed all. "Already, while I was alive, I was part with the past," he confessed. con-fessed. "I returned to the quiet cities and longing to the quiet cities cit-ies of unimproved, of comparatively comparative-ly un'cr.rt'id, Umes. I .ad no actual illusion about their superior su-perior benefits. Thomas Armit, in 1800, regarded the past with exactly the same preference I held for years which seemed to him wholly disastrous." And then "I was possessed, really, by the fantastic desire to be young in the present and old in the past. It would be more truthful, and infinitely simpler, to say that I wanted to be always young. But young, that was, in a young land, a land marvelous marvel-ous and fine and unexplored. . " And after he had confessed that he was merely too lazy and too self-satisfied to get out and leally live in the "young land, a land marvelous and fine and unexplored" that is the America Amer-ica of today, I proceeded, without with-out the warm spots over the cheekbones, to read farther along into the book. Imagination has always been a poor substitute for heroic living, liv-ing, and writers, who cultivate imagination and creative capacity, capa-city, must be pardoned for indulging in-dulging in tlliat substitute.

The hats our grandmothers grandmoth-ers wore with their alpacas, typical typi-cal facsimiles are here. Hats to go with the new hair styles. Its always been a quandary to know which was first, the hat or the hairstyle as much as which is first, the hen or the egg.

There are. four distinct seasons in our Galley and we'll just have to have four coats. It's -time for that light winter win-ter coat. The old fall colds come because we try to get along with two shifts of coats -a winter and a spring coat which usually does one for the fall too. Then we are either too -warm or too cold much of the time and a cold in the head comes on trying to manage with ktoo few coats. Well, well Just have to manage somehow to get an extra coat or two to meet four distinct weather seasons. Autumn is here. I saw a leaf fall. M.

Spare time enough to go to the exectuive offices of the WPA. You will find a dandy joke, neatly typed, and pinned to the door casing cas-ing outside the private oiiice situated sit-uated in the east part of the main office. 1 read it, and chuckled at the thought the author so cleverly clever-ly put on paper. bpace will not permit the entire en-tire joke, but it was about the WPA worker, and in the telling the author referred to them as "The Unfortunates." This startled me. because I have always considered con-sidered this classification as denoting de-noting fallen women, and I'm sure conditions can never bring us to that. Then I started thinking aling these lines: There's ungodly and godlyt-urrchaste ana cnastef so there must be a condition and ; class of people who are not "unfortunate," "un-fortunate," therefore they must be "fortunate." This class cannot possibly be the average citizen and taxpayer, so it must be the viass which produced the joke, and piaced it ioi uie enjoyment of all aTio may read it, temporary forgetting for-getting their very comfortaole livings are provided by Uncle Sam, because of the executive work made necessary through Tne Unfortunates." But what I started to say was I emptied the sugar bowl in my coffee this morning, not knowing know-ing this sugar was all we had. My good wife was not disturbed. She poured aalf in uer cup, filled both cups with unsweetened cof- lee and Doth cups of coffee tasted fine. ON THE WPA. PWA Workers and Private Industry, Editor Herald: I read with interest the contribution contri-bution from the "Boys in the local trenches" who sign themselves "On the WPA." The last one was a nice letter in which the writer stated that "most working people were anxiously anxi-ously waiting for private industry to resume its normal stride and absorb them" Now, I wonder how many of these "Boys in the trenches" are going to cast a vote that well help private industry to regain its normal stride, or will they by their vote, choose to remain re-main "in the trenches" at low pay.

Lord Robert Rob-ert Peel, was attending a party with Disraeli, then in the later years of his life, "Now," she said "please do tell me what made you abuse father in those far-off daysi."

"You must promise1' not to do it, BUI. You can't do it If Larry is innocent he can prove it without with-out putting you on the stand to lie for him, If if he is guilty" her voice trembled, then grew steady again, "then he must pay the penalty.- I'll tell him in the morning that you are not to lie for him, add it "he insists on putting put-ting you on the stand that you will admit that you know nothing at all about the car either Taef ore or after the accident." The wide-eyed wonder in Bill's eyes gave her. courage. The light in them was no longer embarrassed, embar-rassed, but proud. She had not failed him. He and Joe could continue con-tinue to look up at her. Pat sent him off home then, pleading that extra work would keep her busy. Actually she stayed to continue her own fight., The trick that Larry had meant to play with Bill shook her. He meant to do everything in his power to get off clean. Larr? would use any means. And what if he succeeded? What if as the case continued tomorrow to-morrow she saw he was winning, breaking down witnesses who thought he was the driver of the car? Had she the right to interfere? inter-fere? She knew he was guilty, that he had killed a woman, seriously seri-ously injured a child. He had admitted ad-mitted the truth to her, but the admission had been to her as his fiancee. In court a wife could not be forced to testify against her husband. Larry would never have made the admission to her if he had not been sure of her love and loyalty. Yet his own love for her had not prevented him from attempting at-tempting to use Bill, and would not stop him from putting her on the stand to swear to his lies. T OVE was gone. She knew that now. Larry had killed her love as definitely as when her beefing his strength and courage, his Christian Science Church "Everlasting Punishment,'' was the subject of the lesson-sermon in First Church of Christ Scientist, Scien-tist, on Sunday, Oct. 30. The Golden Text was: "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sjw in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me" (Micah 7:8). Selections from the Bible included in-cluded the following: "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil" (Proverbs (Pro-verbs 16: 3, 6). Correlative to the selections were the follwoing passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures'' uy Mary Baker Eddy: 'We should become more famiiiar with good than with evil, and guard against false beliefs as watchfully as we bar our doors against the approach of thieves and murderers. Evil thoughts, lusts, and malicious purposes cannot can-not go forth, U'ke wandering pollen, pol-len, from one human mind to another, an-other, finding unsuspected lodgment, lodg-ment, if virute and truth build a strong defense" (p 234). - " iir" (vuirronnimuuxo Piute Joem Dear Newspaper: Squaw Creek, Mush Hank was mad at Indian Charley last week beca use Charlie's pet goat, Apfelbaum, ate Hank's best blanket.

The act of being involved in a tragedy was not what had killed her love. To have stood beside him as he faced that charge would have been her right, the privilege of her love. But running away, denying responsibility, lying that had burned the last remnant of affection from her heart. She slipped his ring from her engagement finger, watching the sparkling diamond catch the rays of the late sun. Tears in her eyes surrounded it with tiny rainbows. She blinked quickly as the door of the office opened. It was Tom, his arms filled with dog-eared law books. "Still working away?" he asked, looking down at her while she tried to blink away the tears from her eyes. She could feel his nearness, near-ness, his kindness. He put the books down on the desk, stopping suddenly as his fingers brushed the ring that still sparkled in the light. He reached for her hand, touched the bare finger. "What does it mean, Pat?" he asked, his voice husky with feeling. feel-ing. "Can I help? Have you had a quarrel with with someone? COMEHOW she controlled her- self. "TVs all over, Tom.

There wouldn't be anything I wouldn't do if I were this chap." "That's because you're different, Tom. You're you're just you: honest and kind." "Do you mean that?" "Yes everyone knows it. You can't be swerved when you know you're doing what's right. You can't be bought off. You're honest, hon-est, true." "I'm honest when I say I care for you, Pat.

"Jean Gillespie " she said to the clerk at the information desk. "Could I see her?" "Only 10 minutes left in the visiting period. She's in the children's chil-dren's ward on the second floor."
