Retribution is one of the grand principles in the divine administration adminis-tration of human affairs. J. Foster. Where Mercy Ends, Comes now one Ernst . Toller, German poet, playwright and "noveirst, to propose that the United States and other democracies send their surplus foods to Spain, to be distributed dis-tributed according to need, and on both sides of the battle lines. . . . Mr. Toller and those who are supporting him believe that aside from any feeling they may have favoring one side in Spain against the other this is a most humane proposal. pro-posal. Frankly, this newspaper does not think so. It is very sad to think of human beings, especially little children, going hungry, even behind battle lines. But hunger is most positively a legitimate weapon of war. Through hunger armies have forced their enemies to surrender since before history began. The democracies or any other agencies supplying food to either side or both sides stand exactly in the position of helping that side which most needs food. With ample food supplies guaranteed, the combatants would make shift somehow to get guns and bullets. And, given time enough, they would annihilate each other. Humanitarian ? Subject For Debate Out of the Matanuska Valley in Alaska comes an acute human problem that may be quickly set forth in these words: Shall a man who ge:s up at five o'clock in the morning and works hard on his farm all day divide the results of his efforts with neighbors who get up at 10 o'clock in the morning morn-ing and do not work hard all day ? Walter Pippel. star farmer on the government's Matanuska Mata-nuska project, has salted away $11,000 in two years. Neighbors Neigh-bors charge that he "ran out" on the co-operative marketing agreement with the government, and say he owes five per cent, or $550, to the mutual fund of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Re-habilitation corporation. The case is in court, and if a contract has actually been broken only the wisdom of a Solomon will be able to make law and justice jibe. For almost in spite of every other consideration, human reasoning will give answer to the question posed in the second paragraph of this piece with an emphatic Beg Honorable Pardon Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau has executed one of the neatest diplomatic counter-strokes of recent weeks and scored an unequivocal "touche" in a diplomatic word duel with the Japanese foreign office. The super-sauve Hachiro Arita. Japanese foreign minister, minis-ter, gave an exhibition of unpardonable amateurism when he lowered his guard to warn the U. S. that its loan of $25,000,-000 $25,000,-000 to China was "dangerous." Blandly brushing aside the implied suggestion that his government was skirting the border-line of neutrality viola-lation, viola-lation, Mr. Morgenthau asked "who's at war." With Japan refusing to concede that war in the East has been declared officially in fact insisting that there is no war the secretary's polite query left the Nippon govern-" ment without a comeback.

We saw the sign out on the sun-swept reaches of San Fer nando valley, which used to be the place from which the city of Los Angeles pumped its water supply, to the despair of the farmers, farm-ers, who depended on the subterranean subter-ranean waters to grow their crops. Now the place is rapidly turning turn-ing into a Hollywood dude ranch, with half the players in moyie-dom moyie-dom moving out into its "wide open spaces" and owning a "ranch" of some sort, even tho" it be only a quarter acre. We were homeward bound at the time, and in a hurry, or I'd have sidetracked far enough to see the apartment house for dogs. The sign also bore the name of one of the veteran movie stars as "proprietor." Hollywood has pet cemeteries, too. Lately, I saw a news photo of a pampered pooch, now deceased, de-ceased, "lying in state" in a casket cas-ket as dainty and possibly as costly as most human beings can ever expect' to have. And in almost every one of the "cells" or small' towns that comprise what is now known as "metropolitan Los- Angeles," there is In evidence a neon-lighted petTiospital or other expensive sanctuary for the four-legged -members of so many American families. Wish now Vd gone back to free that apartment house for dogs, I've no doubt it was doggy enough in every sense of the world.

Myself, am in more of a daze than usual whether you can believe it or not. If everything can be said to go wrong on Christmas, that's what I mean. It was more like nai lowe'en. It began way back in the fall. Duttonf company wanted my biography and my, picture for advanced ptwmcuy on my dook. They'd do a lot better without my picture as everyone .knows, but you can't tell the New York ers anything. Where was I? Well I (had the pictures taken and they looked so LJTTT-B nice, me, that I ordered six for Christmas and resolved that I wouldn't do more this year and I didn't. Well I never got home with the pic tures. I lost them somewhere with my address and name on they never came back. (I even tried the Herald's lost and found column). Someone is using those pictures to haunt houses with. Where was I? I pawned my sables and had six more made, determined not to go into the apron building business this year Came time to send out the fam ily boxes, and I couldn't find those condemned pictures that is we couldn't find them after Gertrude's was tucked in her box. Today we get a letter from her, and the evidently didn't see the picture and burned it with the wrappings, for she doesn't mention men-tion it. Maybe she saw it and burned it, I wouldn't say. And another thing, I cleaned out my desk and haven't found my address ad-dress book since. Soooo some of my best friensd won't get a card from me. Then on my birthdayt two days before Christmas, these same New York Duttons send me a telegram saying they are changing chang-ing the title of my book, snipping a little here, and digging out a little there, and removing by major surgery six lines over yonder. yon-der. Would I wire my approval at once collect? I send the saddest sad-dest missive I ever concocted, and that's- a record, reminding them that after all I was only the author. Well, it saved my title anyhow. A telegram this morning morn-ing told me so. Folks, don't ever write a book. All my literary friends said that to me, but I heeded them not. No, this isn't the end. I went to Salt Lake to meet my brother. I took the lower road to be free of traffic and drunks. How naive of me. I was half way over the one-way bridge when here came the Mad Russian in "a ' second hand Roman chariot. He' didn't hesitate.

CHAPTER XI JUDY watched Diane Bell pushing push-ing the baby carriage across the station to Admiral Alcott's house. Diane was hot and tired, but she was still lovely. Judy's mother began exclaiming over the baby at once. She was enjoying herself thoroughly. Diane got Judy alone on the pretext of wanting a drink of water. 'I hear Jack's orders to Pensacola were revoked at the last minute," she said bluntly. "Very irregular.' Her eyes watched the other girl's face. Judy couldn't help flushing. Diane went on, with the privilege of her long friendship, "It's better so. I hated to think of you sitting by yourself without a man, I mean while Dwight and that redhead red-head of his gave their vows." "You're imagining things,' said Judy. . "So is the whole station. We've got lively imaginations. Then she said, "Judy, you don't know what you're missing by being so blind and stubborn! , Never mind his virtues. Never mind anything, But. you'd have such fun!" Her dark face glowed. "Bill and I have had a million dollars worth of happiness. "You love him, said Judy. And you love Jack, too, you funny fool! You just don't know the signs. You're infatuated with Dwight.; He's handsome and he knows how to ch you make me sickl" v- "Maybe you make me sick, too,' said Judy, smiling. She hugged Diane. "Ill be all right." .

I pulled desperately to the side until un-til I could see that green, ice cold water of. the river under me, and the rickety sides of the antiquated antiquat-ed bridge beside me all this in a moment. My gay friend missed my engine, but he tore out my back fender and put as pretty a ruffle along the bottom as ever Queen Victoria wore on her petticoat. petti-coat. I'll spare you the details. Finally arrived in Salt Lake where I got my brother DeAlton, and a house dress for mother which doesn't fit. Christmas night we invited some people in to see the movies De took in Europe this summer. Jay Keeler lent us the projector, and then went off to Nephi and forgot to teU us. We had to use our own, which naturally isn't as nice as Jay's. I forgive him, because it's Christmas. Must say too, that DeAlton crowned everything as far as future hopes go when he said he was sure that even When the book was finally out, it would be at least six months before I would get any royalties. Also, they are curbing and guttering up here, and I got up on? morning to find that the driveway would end somewhere between my kitchen and dining room. I went cheerful. "Man proposes, the admiral ad-miral disposes," he said. "I'm too valuable to the Enterprise to be lost without a replacement, or some damn thing, and when I do get my shore duty, itH be on North Island." "Oh," said Judy. "As long as I t" in running away f j - come over?" CHE remembered the things he had said. "Crumbs." "The; most sensible way is to cut it short." But she could understand, too, that a man who had said, "I haven't forgotten in five years" would still want to try again if he had to remain close by. She wanted to see him. That was the worst part of it. She didn't want to lose the dependable friend, the fine companion, that Jack had always been. But she had lost him the moment he told her he loved her. "Come over, if you like," she said. "I haven't an engagement." "Coming," he said. She waited for him restlessly. It wouldn't be easy. The silence was strained between be-tween them, the first few seconds, as they looked at each other. Then he said, "Judy, you're thinner thin-ner than yesterday. There's something some-thing something gaunt in your cheeks " She laughed. "You're crazy! Nobody loses weight overnight." "If they don't sleep-" "I slept" "About as much as I dM, I'll bet." ,'riVhy couldn't you sleep? You thought you were going to Pensacola Pen-sacola getting away from it all " "I never .wanted to get away from you." "Listen, Jack, she said steadily. "We talked it out. We decided something. Now you're not going. But what we decided still stands. Can't we be friends the way we used to be?" The brown eyes held hers. "IH do anything you want," he said. "On any terms." "All I want is that we we act natural that I don't keep feeling I " the words that came to her lips weret "That I've knifed you. But of course she couldn't say that, so she said nothing. "I can't pretend I don't love you," he said earnestly. "It's too much to ask. But 111 never men tion it again. WeTJ dance, and ride; and go to parties just as we used to and well itH all be the same as it used to be." TT never would be. She knew x that. But she did need him, in a curious fashion.

BY BETTY WALLACE COPYRIGHT, lM NKA SCKVtCK, INC. Dwight and Marvel without the solid bulk of Jack Hanley behind her. He was so fine. It was a pity to use his love only for a shield, his deep . concern for her only to hide the blow another man had inflicted. She gripped his hand. "You're swell, Jack. You're the best friend I ever had." Mrs. Alcott was wordlessly content, con-tent, . pleasant to Jack, never so much as asking a leading question of Judy. But the girl knew that her mother was waiting. Waiting. For the maneuver to work. For the wild infatuation to die. For Jack to win. Night after night she said to herself desperately, "Why can't they see? This isn't an infatua-7 tion. This is real. This is the biggest big-gest thing that can happen to a woman. I see him everywhere I go. I hear his voice, and it comes between me and the voices of other people. It doesn't matter that he's going to marry her. I ought to have pride. I ought to have self-control. But dear God I can't help it. Oh, Dwight, Dwight!" And then she would clutch the pillow, feeling the coolness cool-ness of it against her fevered cheek. The hours would go by so slowly. There would be the tiny sound of the clock on the table beside her and the chimes from the tall clock in the hall. Passing . . . passing. . . . But so slowly! She had a bridge date the day the wedding invitation came. She couldn't get out of it, because a commander's wife was entertaining entertain-ing the girls. A new commander, recently transferred from the East. They had called on her parents first, of course', and then on the officers one by one in ordfer of their rank. As the daughter of the admiral, she had to go this time, if never again. She stuck Marvel's heavy white envelope, with its exquisitely engraved en-graved invitation, into a bureau drawer and slammed the drawer shut. How the eyes of the women would gleamj when she entered the room! By this time, even the new commander's wife would have heard' the gossip. She dressed carefully, and when she was finished, she put two spots of rouge high on her cheeks. Mustn't Must-n't look pale! Mustn't look worried. wor-ried. She'd have to smile at them, ignore the innuendos, pretend everything was fine. Never , before be-fore had she hated the demands of navy life. But this afternoon, walking out of her father's house toward her. car, she said bitterly, "I despise it - all! Even my soul isn't my own! Yd like to chuck it. I'd like to be anonymous, un-. known. Oh, if there could only be no more navy, never again, for me!" (To Be Continued) 7 ( t ( |
