"They represent the result of months of negotiation wlth private manufacturers. None of them have been signed, but we have told the manufacturers in each case that we exrJe<"t to sign them. They cover munitions and other supJllies, and In each case the manufacturer has gone ahead on the assumption that the contract would be signed. "Sin<'e these negotiations were started, however, the armistice has been signed. Now, what we would like to know, Judge \Varwlck, is whether that makes any difierence -whetlter we can l~gally sign them." Judge Warwick lool•ed at the papers. "How mnch money Is Involved Jn the:se contracts?" he asked. "Oh, I suppose, rough!~·. a billion dollar>:," Goethals replied.

S!Je had hoped for the New Yenr'q dinner at the older Bennets' home he would be on tlm~but there he was out in the garage maldng no move to be ready. She would not stand It ! By the time she dedded to go without him and called a taxi her cheeks were flushed with lnfllgnation. A hastily written note, pinned to the rarllo, the urst place Grant would go when he came ln, Informed him she had gone on without him. The taxi whirled away just as Grant came out to see why lt had stopped before their house. It wasn't only being late but the tndiiTerPnce that <llsturbl'd He~n.

It suddenly O<'curred to Helen that she would hnve to mn-ke some e:otplanatlon for coming wlthmlt Grant. So she decided on the truth. As time passed Helen's anger coo~ed and the kincl. thoughtful things Grant did came to her, nnd now she condemned herself as harshly as she bad him. Dinner waited as usual, although not so long as usual. But It was a strange Grant Bennet who stood In the doorway, his rigllt hand raised. and solemnly announC'ed: "I hereby resolve on this New Year's day, to try hereafter to be on time." The tone convinced every one that be meant lt. As they all went In to the delayed dinner Grant whispered to Helen: "That note gave me an awful ~hoC'k. and the ride over here was too lonesome to ever let that happen again. Never ngaln, honey." Helen gn ve his arm an afl'ectlonat<"1 squeeze and resolved to be patient with him. ((C). 1930. Western Newspaper Unloa.)
