"' The spontaneous applause which greeted the reference j in President Roosevelt's message to lessened government expenditures ex-penditures is going to echo down through the entire session of congress. The president himself dilemma. Economy of the Coolidge type, saving pencil-ends and writing on both sides of the paper, won't do. Budgets of today's kind would neveijfreel a dent from that kind of cheeseparing. , . If government expenses are to be cut, and the Republican Republi-can side of the chamber indicated by its applause that it approves, ap-proves, there must be real and drastic reductions in major government-activities. The president indicated that present activities and .functions of government must be reduced as much ais one-third if real budget balancing is to be achieved. fc The applauding, Republicans, while not a majority, are conceded to occupy a position of power in regard to what shall be cut. It will be interesting to note their choices. Farm aid ? Quite a lot of new Republican congressmen were elected by farm "votes. Will the Corn Belt Liberty League be able to assuage the burning drought that might follow cessation of the "gentle rain of checks"? Rivers and Harhors ? Traditional niche of the pork-barrel ! Will economy-seeking congressmen be brave enough to concede that even the item from the home baliwick of Goose Creek is unnecessary? ' Flood control? Every canceled project means men out of work. Highways? People live along every route crossed off the improvement list. People who vote. Aid to veterans? Will these congressmen prove braver ihan the ones who passed the pre-payment of the bonus over Roosevelt's veto? Social Security? Will Republican congressmen elected by TownsenB votes be likely to want to curtail it? WPA? Heavily under fire as a political adjunct, criticized criti-cized as a morale-shattering dole and a public waste, the tide of protest against any possible reduction is already rising, especially in lalxr and radical papers. Yet the only way to reduce is to reduce. The applause of opposition members may yet echo in their own ears as thej; face the deadly realities of the carrying oTJToTpolicies which the electorate appeared to approve in so many sections in the last election. The hardest thing for congressmen to realize is that reduced federal expenditures must begin, like charity, at home. And no congressman who is unwilling to see a reduction of federal funds spent in his home district can congratulate himself on the applause that leaped so lightly to his hands at the early session.

Ashton, owner of the Cannon-Ashton, Cannon-Ashton, Inc., 191 South University Univer-sity avenue, is holding- a special showing of 1939 Chevrolet trucks and commercial car models during dur-ing the week of January 14 to 21, inclusive. During period of depression, Mr. Ashton said, "Truck Operators, Oper-ators, like passenger car owners, naturally tended to neglect the matter of replacements. Trucks that would in normal times have given place to more efficient units were continued in service, frequently without adequate maintenance work. The result is that a very extensive replacement market now exists at the very time when most indications point to a general business up-turn." The general public as well as all truck users are most cordially invited to view the new truck line for 1939.

Slowly I worked my way through the crowd to the speakers stand, which was the first stairway stair-way landing. Standing there I looked up into the faces of those who were seated in the steps, then out over the scores of anxious, eager faces.

They were orderly and quiet. There was no swearing or disrespectful disre-spectful remarks men, among whom might have been any woman's wom-an's sons, or brothers, or husband.

The fine, white-haired gentleman gentle-man who lately did some paper-hanging paper-hanging in the family halla unsnarled un-snarled the strange system for me. T noticed he used an ancient smoothing brush in his- work, a brush that looked almost dilapidated, dilapi-dated, and let a brand new one rest unused in his kit beside his cutting table. "It's 47 years old, that brush," he told me, "and has been used a whole lot; not constantly, but a lot. The bristles are Russian .bristles (he said Rooshian). You can't get brushes like that any more." . I admired the brush, as who wouldn't admire such a veteran? I commented on the fact that the bristles were pretty badly worn on one side. "Not worn," the white-haired paperhanger defended. "I set it on a shelf above the stove to dry that was years ago and it fell on the stovp and got scorched. "I started using this brush the year my oldest son was born that's howI remember so well how old it is." He regarded his inanimate friend with something quite like affection. The elderly gentleman had told me to get' from the city 12 single rolls of one pattern of paper and 20 single rolls of another. That's what I asked for at the wallpaper wall-paper store, and yet, when the paper came out there -were four rolls of one and 10 of the other. And still, the bill listed 12 and 20 single rolls, and that was what I had paid for. "Wall paper never really comes in single rolls," explained the elderly gentleman, "altho it's always al-ways ordered and sold by that measure. It actually comes in bolts either two single rolls to a bolt or three single rolls to a bolt. If the paper is 20 inches wide there are two rolls to a bolt; if it's 30 inches wide, there are three to the bolt.

CHAPTER XXI TT was only another casualty in the long list of many. The papers pa-pers carried headlines, "Navy Flyers Fly-ers Crash at Sea." Just as they had run headlines when the Akron Ak-ron went down; just as they flaunted the tragedy of the trapped submarine. But to Judy Alcott, waiting for the Relief to come in, and to Diane Bell, who was left alone with her baby, it was agony too deep to bear. Now Judy understood, why the wives of the lighter-than-air men, that morning at Lakehurst, had tried to smile. Now, she could understand why they had gone on, bravely, taking up their lives where the threads had broken, shrinking from sympathy, wanting nothing but to be left alone. That was all she wanted, now. The- reporters who came, the heartless, businesslike voices on the telephone, revolted her. She shrank from contact with the outside' out-side' world. She wanted to hide from- them' all. Tonight tomorrow tomor-row st the latest the hospital ship would come in, and she would know at last the answer to the questions which tormented her. Was Jack going to live? How badly was be hurt? If he didn't pull through, she thought passiqn-ately, passiqn-ately, she wouldn't want to live either. Then, hearing the baby cry, and Diane's tear-choked voice quieting him, Judy knew that she must put aside her personal problems. Jack was alive.. That was enough for cow. Alive, with a fighting chance. But Bill was irrevocably gone. There, was no hope for Diane, nothing she could cling to and find comfort in. Except the baby. And he was so little, so helpless. Every time she held him in her arms, it must be like a sharp thorn in her flesh. For he was all that was left to her of BilL a CO Judy pulled herself together, . and did her best to assuage the i stunned, Incredulous , grief that was making Diane so hollow-eyed, so numb and deaf and unseeing.

A flag drapped body the homecoming of the" man who had kissed her goodby, who had said carelessly, "See you Wednesday!" But for herself, meeting Jack would be to find reassurance to see with her own eyes his face; to hear his voice.. To be sure, sure that he was alive. No matter how badly he was injured, she told her self, all she asked was to look at him. To see his eyes move, to touch his hair. A ROMAN holiday, her mother had said. Reporters, photographers. photog-raphers. They would make cloying, cloy-ing, sentimental copy of her joy at seeing Jack. They would print, "ADMIRAL'S DAUGHTER SOBS OVER NAVAL FLYER INJURED IN CRASH AT SEA." They might even take quick, forbidden pictures pic-tures of her, leaning over the stretcher, being taken down the gangway. She remembered the weeping women waiting at a pier in New London. The papers had printed closeups of their swollen eyes, their twisted, sobbing lips. Oh, no! No! Mother was right She mustn't go. So for two hours she and Diane sat side by side on the sofa, a terrible, waiting stillness enveloping envelop-ing them. Now they were carrying carry-ing Bill's body down. Now they were lifting Jack. Judy prayed inwardly that the men would be gentle with him. She thought of the cold, choppy water in which he had been immersed. She thought of him sitting in a cockpit, cock-pit, waiting for the nose to slap into the waves. How had he crawled out? And Bill, flying low, forgetful of his own danger! Maybe they'd give Bill a medal. A medal! She wanted to laugh, suddenly. They'd pay Diane with a piece of worthless silver or gold for the loss of everything she had held dear. Jack wouldn't have wanted Bill to risk his own life.

INC. have shouted to him, -told him to go back . . . And yet, even as she sat there, she knew that she would never be able to ask Jack anything about those dark hours after his ship crashed. The story of what had happened would be locked in his heart. All the raw pain, all the deep, hidden gratitude. Men didn't talk about moments like those. The men who had been on the Akron with Ward, and who had lived through that storm, never spoke of it now. AT seven o'clock, her mother came back to the bungalow and said, "I'll stay with Diane. There's a car outside to take you to the hospital." When the chauffeur opened the door for her. she tumbled out, murmured, "Thank you." There was a wide, empty hall, smelling of antiseptic. A nurse came forward, for-ward, and said, "Miss Alcott? Commander Sloane said you may go right up." "Sick Officers' Quarters," said the nurse to the man in the elevator. ele-vator. Judy's heart was beating wildly, and the palms of her hands were damp. Jack was lying flat on the bed. His face was pale, his eyes were closed. There was a heavy white plaster cast encasing his shoulder, and under the covers it made a lump, as if it extended down his side. "Jack!" she cried. His flew open. eyes "Judy!" He wasn't unconscious. He wasn't! She was so thankful tears came into her eyes. She dropped into the chair beside the bed. "Oh, Jack!" There was nothing noth-ing else she could say; words wouldn't come. She could only look at him, drinking in his face, the shining eyes, the gladness that glowed from him to her. "Lieutenant Hanley has had a very tough three hours," said the nurse professionally. "Getting him into a cast, and X-rays first, and he's very tired . She did not say, "You mustn't stay long." But it was there. Judy asked her, "Exactly what what are the injuries?" The nurse said, "Commander Sloane will be here and you may ask him. He's on this floor, but he's busy right now." ' When she had gone, Judy touched Jack's hand. The one that wasn't bandaged. She said, "Oh, Jack, I I almost died! Tm so glad you're alive! IH never, never be such a fool again. Just get well! Get well for me?" Jack whispered hoarsely; "Do you mean it?" "Mean, it?" She kissed his fingers. fin-gers. "I love, you." (To Be Continued) t |
