Street Project Moves Ahead The long-looked-for street improvement project for the northeast section takes an important step forward today with the first publication by the city commission of the notice of intention to create a special improvement district. Property owners who have worked for years to bring about a street improvement program, to see their efforts frustrated time and time again by vexatious delays and needless need-less obstacles, are jubilant to find the project so near realization. realiza-tion. They have a right to rejoice, because completion of the project will mean the end of the dust nuisance for them, improved streets for modern automobile traffic, and a beautified beau-tified residential section. It goes without saying they are highly appreciative of the work done by Mayor A. O. Smoot and City Commissioners J. E. Snyder and W. P. Whitehead to guide the projects past the many obstacles to what appears to be its realization. The property owners in the district are fortunate indeed to be the recipients of an outright gift of more than $20,000 from federal road funds secured through the state road commission. com-mission. While the total estimated cost of the project, according ac-cording to the notice of intention published elsewhere in this issue, is $48,750, the abutters' portion Ts only $25,489.86, the difference to be paid from federal road allotments. The cost to the abutters cannot exceed the 40 cents per front foot, plus the 10 per cent engineering, or a total of 44 cents. It means that the property owners receive a street improvement improve-ment project at virtually half price. The Provo project is the first city street job on, record to participate in federal road funds, according to state road officials. of-ficials. Much of the credit for this should go to Preston G. Peterson, vice chairman of the state road commission. As the notice of intention is drawn up, the door is left open for either the asphaltic oil mat, or the rock asphalt paving pav-ing types of one-inch thickness, the contract to be awarded to the lowest bidder. This ought to be fair enough to both the oil and asphalt interests, since state road engineers have declared the two types to be of comparable quality. The grading work will be done by the state road commission, com-mission, the roadbed to be prepared ready for the application of the surfacing material. If no unforeseen obstacles are placed in the way of the project, preliminary work can be started in January, weather conditions permitting, according to state road officials. This will insure the completion of th,e project before the heavy summer traffic begins.

Her features were breath-taklngly perfect. Cautious Advance Needed The Federal Trade Commission suggests that congress broaden its powers to permit it to wage war on unfair business busi-ness practices when such practices adversely affect the consumer's con-sumer's interests. As things stand now, the commission may attack an unfair trad practice only when such practice injures a business busi-ness competitor. It points out that an entire industry might conceivably gang up in some trade agreement which would not be in the least damaging to competitors, since all competitors com-petitors would be in on it, but which would hurt the consumer like blazes. That the consumer needs, all the protection he can g-et is pretty obvious, and that such law would give it to him is almost al-most equally clear. Nevertheless, the proposal is one which needs a great deal of debate. To outlaw any trade practice which might be declared unfair to the consumer would be to cover an enormous amount of ground. It could easily pave the way for government govern-ment control of industry as sweeping as the NRA itself. A lot of careful study ought to precede any attempt at such .legislation.

In the room which had been hers for eight days, Ruth Woodson was getting ready to leave. She was debating a question of ethics with herself. Could she conscientiously take away with her the clothes Penny bad turned over to her? "No, I can't," was her firet decision. de-cision. Then common sense overrode ethics. "I need them to keep me warm and decent- To save myself from pneumonia and help me to get a Job. If St Stephen's Guild had them to sell they'd turn around and use the money to help some "needy and worthy girl exactly ex-actly like me. So why all the fuss? . . - Yes, I'll take a tew of them. Not the evening clothes, at course. Not the navy blue atin, though I'd give my head for that one. Just the knit dresses and the suit and a couple of felt hats. I'll take an extra pair of shoes, too, besides the oxfords on my feet. Those are the things I need." The thin sunshine of the early morning had disappeared and the day promised to be damp and exceedingly ex-ceedingly raw. Thankful for the warmth of the fur-trimmed sport Buit, Ruth put it on. She pulled a felt hat jauntily over her left eye. "Now I think I'll carry a couple &t books, so I'll look like a col-lego col-lego girl beating a ride." As she bad no suitcase. Ruth used a heavy cardboard suit box from Bertha's storeroom. It exactly ex-actly held the extra clothes. She tied it with a stout string. And then there was nothing left to do but gather up her box, her purse, and the two books which she had selected as appropriate. "They'll be Duncan Hunter's gift to me," 6he thought, "for saving his life!" She knew that he was still sleeping. "My strangest strang-est adventure of all," she decided, thinking of last night. But there waa yet another adventure ad-venture In store for Ruth Woodson Wood-son before she should pasa through the bine door Into the world again. As she descended the last step of the stairway and itopd cautiously listening fco been using my name, I hear. Like it?" Ruth forced a smile. "It's a pretty name and it's helped me out a lot. Thank you for the use of It." "You're not welcome," Elaine replied coldly. She laid the roll down on the hall table and daintily wiped her fingers on a i brown and white sport handker chief. Elaine said, "It seems foolish of you to leave when our friend John McNeill is In Washington." She watched Ruth's face closely, hoping to discover how deep the other girl's Interest lay. At breakfast break-fast Penny bad said, In response to a question from Elaine. "Mr. John and his mother went to Ruth looked at her, wide-eyed. "So you believe I've had an affair with him! I suppose when a girl's as rich and fashionable as you are it's smart to be evil-minded." Elainw said, ignoring the thrust. "How did you come to this town and how do you expect to leave providing I decide to let you leave without turning you over to the police?" "I came by bus," Ruth told her. "I'll leave by hitch-hiking." "One more question: who are you?" Ruth said. "'My name doesn't matter. I'm Just a girl without a Job and without a dollar to my name.

"In my suit?" and went upstairs, carrying the box with her. Ten "minutes later she came down again, dressed In a wrinkled blue suit and matching bat, both of which seemed shrunken from a bard rain. Besides her purse Ruth's cheeks flamed. She bad j and the two books, she carried a forgotten that she was wearing I parcel wrapped In paper the this girl's clothes from bead to i meager extras she had brought feet. She wished that the earth might open and swallow her. Since that could not happen, she desired nothing so much as to burst into tears and cry her heart out. Yet. even as the tears stung her eyelids, she fought them back. She would not bow down in defeat before this golden, stinging creature who was tormenting tor-menting her. Ruth said, "They were your clothes once. All of them. But you gave them to St. Stephen's Guild. I'm indebted to the church. I believe. One doesn't mind that so much. Elaine remarked, "You're terribly ter-ribly clever, aren't yo? Or should we be frank and say you're terribly tricky; Hare you always with her to this bouse. Elaine had her back turned powdering her nose at the long mirror. She suddenly felt panic-stricken panic-stricken and regretful. She reached for her purse which wai lyin. on the table, opened 11 quickly and extended a $20 bill. "You'd better take this." she said briskly. Ruth brushed it away as If It had been an annoying insect. Without looking at Elaine Chalmers Chal-mers she went out of the blue door and down the steps, her eyes still clear of the tears that longed to cloud them utterly. She was not striving for as effective exit. She only wanted tfl get away before she broke. " ' Vo Be Continue!) , Mrs. Eva Jensen was hostess to the Beta Bridge club Monday evening. eve-ning.

Reasons Reas-ons for this view are: (1) Congress Con-gress is an excellent campaign forum which both the Democrats and Republicans will exploit to the limit; (2) many members who are none too sure of re-election would rather remain in Washington Washing-ton as long as possible before facing fac-ing the voters back home. . .
