 The thought electrified her. She crammed her mending into it's cretonne bag and flung off her apron. She re- called that David has tossed the card Of the Workmen's Cooperative Homes company into the writing desk. Cora clawed about till she found it.
 In half an hour Cora Temple found herself in the office of a pretentious looking concern on Forty-second street explaining her errand rather nervously to the president.
 "But-ah--you have had no business experience" he said with a polite smile. For Cora was good looking and smartly dressed

BesidesS I did actual work at Colony Park with MT. Brett when my husband was architect there. worked out development plans for sev- eral tracts. planned my own house. Cora stopped. A wave of re- membrance almost choked her. The president of the w. C. H. Co. tapped his desk with his pencil and began drawing little squares and circles on his blotter. These resolved into ran dom figures which he seemed to be adding up, subtracting and multiply ing.
 / As a matter of fact he was think ing what an odd situation 1t was-he having offered the husband a posi- tion with the concern, the husband having declined 1t and then the wife coming to ask for a job. It seemed funny, yet he decidedly liked and re- spected this woman who seemed so eager to jump into harness that her mate might gallop freely a while longer. He wished his wife showed a fraction of that much interest in his affairs. He drew a double line under his figures, and. turning to Cora, said: Mrs. Temple, believe you could seve us. N you would like to try. we'll be glad to have you start at-say s35 week.
 Cora's heart skipped beat. Her eyes swan. She promised to let the man know in the morning and went home. walking on air.

Temples talk with his wife about the Workmen's Cooperative Homes company and the "job" he felt tempted, in his Encouragement, to take with them sent an idea scudding into Cora's mind. She felt that it would be a wrong move for him to go to work as a mere clerk But what about herself? Why shouldn't she try something?
 Cora flirted with the idea all the next day. She thought about it as she did her housework. Her imagination took long flights as she walked to mar ket and home again. She put down her alarming dozen times to dream of how it would feel to go out early each morning to work-to cain actual money--to talk with David each even- ing over the events of the business day, to realize that she, too. was bearing the economic burden of their lives.
 An! it was exhilarating. It was a new realm of thought for Cora. Her little suggestion about being Dave's ste AAO6AdPilCI iStd USelE tltbil III JSSl put this was serious. Not that Cora had the exaggerated idea that only labor paid for in actual wage form was earned. She knew she was helping David enormously by conserving the money he earned, by administering his household, managing, saving, ad- vising and doing the housework."
 But I don't use up more than three hours a day. she told herself, paus- ing for the steenth time with a half mended stocking over her hand. "Wouldn't 1t be better economy for me to hire woman to wash the dishes and make the beds while I earned oh, a lot of money?" Cora had no idea just what she could do or how much she could earn by doing it.
 Perhaps it isn't even a question of my wanting to do it," she groped on, not realizing she had touched one of the big questions of the day. But of my duty to do it. Perhaps I ought

PRESIDENT TO NAME
CREDIT BOARD SOON
One of the Appointees Expect
ed to Be w. W. FIanna-
gan of New Jersey.

President Wilson soon will nominate the
rural credits board provided for in the
farm loan bill, and one of the appointees
is expected to be W. W. Flanagan OF
Montclair, n. j., now secretary of the
Joint congressional committee on rural
credits. Senators Martin and Hollis
called on President Wilson today to rec
ommend Mr.. Flanagan. President Will
son is to name four members Of the board
and Secretary McAdoo is by law to be
another member of the board.
1t is the desire Of the President and
Secretary McAdoo to put the new farm
loaE law into effect as speedily as pos
sible and the Presidents efforts will be
directed to getting board OF competent
men who can take charge OF the work and
organize a force of clerks who will un-
derstand their duties.
Vice President Marshall's Plans.
Vice President Marshall called on Presi-
dent Wilson today in connection with a
pardon case When asked about his plans
for the coming presidential campaign Mr.
Marshall said he had not arranged to
make speeches, but supposed he would
be invited, and in that event would have
something to say. But L cannot be
prouder than l wah in 1876 when l saw
a circular advertising a meeting to be
held at town in my state in which the
names of several distinguished speakers
were given, the list winding up with 'and
Little Tommy Marshall" the Vice Presi-
dent declared.
President Wilson left Washington at
1890 O'Clock today for New York, where
tonight he will speak before the New
York Press Club at the annual banquet
of the organization.
The regular meeting of the cabinet was
held before the departure of the Presi-
dent. most Of the time being given to a
consideration of the difficulties with
Mexico and the attitude of the admins
tration. Cabinet members are not i'm
bued with a surplus of optimism as to a
satisfactory outcome of the differences
simply being hopeful that war may be
avoided.

Talks With Secretary Lansing.

Eliseo Arredondo. Mexican ambassa-
dor-designa.e. also took up with Secre-
tary Lansing again the question of al
legged maltreatment OF Mexicans on the
American side Of the border, and asked
that steps be taken to prevent further
trouble OF this sort
On returning to the embassy he made
public a message from Mexico City say
ing that although the State Department
had teiegraphed Special Agent Rodgers
once. or the United States government
would not be responsible for the conse-
quences. actually less than 300 had left
Mexico City and not more than 200 left
the surrounding country.

Former Senator May Be
Chosen by G. O. P. to Rep

LEADERS DESTROYS
OF PRIMARY LAW HERE
Frequent Contests Are Responsible.
Progressives May Help Direct
National Campaign.

Advices from New York,
where the steering committee
of the republican national COM
mittee conferred yesterday with
National Chairman Wilcox over
the personnel of the campaign
management, say that Nathan b.
Scott of this city may be chosen
national committeeman for the
District of Columbia. Mr.. Scott
was formerly a United States
senator from West Virginia, but
since leaving that body has been
engaged in the banking business
here. He has long been identified
with campaign affairs of the party
and was national committeeman
for West Virginia in 1908.
AS stated in The Stars dispatches
from Chicago during the national con-
vention. the republican national lead
ers desire that d primary law be en-
acted by Congress to govern the selec-
tion of delegates in the District of CO.

which occur every four years in the
absence of any legal restriction over
the choosing of delegates here. OF
course, such a law would control the
naming of delegates to the conven-

also that the steering committee IA

PRAISES THE JERSEY BOYS,
President Wilson Pleased With
Prompt Mobilization of State Militia.

SEAGIRT, N. J.. June 3o.-Gpv. Field
er today made public letter received
from President Wilson in reply to the
state executives communication to the
White House that the New Jersey
troops were the first to be mobilized
and asking that two other New Jersey
regiments be sent to the border.
"It is fine to think how promptly the
Jersey boys got ready" the Presidents S
letter reads. Il feel some hesitation
in interfering with the plans of the
War Department because I know so
well how thoroughly they have studied
them out with a view to disposing the
troops most effectively on the border,
but you may be sure we shall want
the Jersey men as soon as it is pos
sible to handle them. We have not
called out the whole force in the states
where there may conceivably be some
other work for the National Guard to
do. and you may be sure that that is
the only reason"

FEAR HE WAS MURDERED
Milliam H. Medford of Dorchester
County Figures in MARYLAND Mystery

CAMBRIDGE. Md. June 30-WiIliam
H. Medford. clerk of the Dorchester
county circuit, court and prominent in
republican local politics, business and
social circles, is thought to have been
murdered on a lonely road in lower
Dorchester county last night by a
strange man whom he is presumed to
have been giving a ride in his automo-
bile. The body has not been found and
is supposed to have been thrown into
the river.
The car was found on the roadside by
Fred Hundley. farmer. who had been
guided to the spot by the stranger. The
latter told Hundley that a man with
whom he was riding lost control of his
automobile and jumped into the river.
Medford's coat, cap. collar and cravat
and a bunch OF keys were in the bot
tom of the car. The stranger disap-
peared shortly after reaching the car
with Hundley.

Clear Statement Sought.

Apparently Secretary Lansing Is de-
termined to get a clear statement of
intentions on which action by the
United States can be founded Carran-
"a officials profess an earnest desire to
avoid clash, however. and a further
struggle to fix diplomatically re-
sponsibility for hostilities that may
come is foreshadowed
The American government has for
warded to Gen. CarranZa another COM
munication. calling attention to numer-
GUS reports of seizure OF American prop-
erty by local Mexican officials. In
most cases confiscation occurred after
the American owners fed from the
country.
The attitude of the government on
the question of arbitration. which was
proposed by Latin American diplomats,
as officially outlined. is that arbitration
is wholly out of the question; that the
United States has nothing to arbitrate
II Gen. Carranza should withdraw his
hostile orders, however. and then pro-
pose that an attempt be made to for
mulate through mediators an agree
ment of some sort for joint operations
in protecting the border it might re-
ceive consideration. No plan would be
acceptable to the United States, how
ever. that in any way hampered it's
own efforts to guard the lives and
property of its citizens.

tinues. The Swiss government has

many demands the immediate delivery
of $4,000 bales of cotton sequestered in

Failure to receive coal from Ger
