Principles of the American
Alliance for Labor and
Democracy Enumerated

all that hes IN our power to win the
war in which it is engaged
Loyalty to the ideals of freedom,
democracy and internationalism re-
qulres loyalty to America.
tDisloyalty to America in this
crisis is disloyalty to the cause of
freedom, democracy and internation-
alism.
"No national selfishness impelled
this Republic to enter the war. The
impelling motive was the consuming
idealism born with the establishment
of this Republic itself to preserve
freedom not only for itself but for all
nations, great and small, and the
body of international 1aw which all
the free democratic nations of the
world respect and observe and only
the brutal autocracies seek to dishon-
or and destroy. In such .onflict real
standard bearers of democracy and
true internationalists can have no
hesitation in supporting our Republic
which has made its own the cause and
interests of all free peoples. It is
therefore in truth not Capitalists
war" but a Freemen's war
Fully impressed by these facts,
realizing that a noble International
ism is implicit in our American con-
ception of national existence, it shall
be our purpose to bring to the supper.

CHAPTER XIV.

"Helen where did you put my cuff
buttons?"
"Why, 1 didn't see them, aren't
they there on your chiffonier?"
No, they are not. And l put them
there when l took them out of my
shirt last night
wait, I'll come look! They must
have fallen on the floor" She got
down on her knees and looked under
the chiffonier-under the rug-under
the bed-but no cuff buttons were
visible. Then she looked hurriedly
through the top chiffonier drawer.
ooh, I'd never have put them in
there" impatiently. Il always lay
them right here. You've gathered
them up with some things. If you'd
just learn to keep your things away
from here I wouldn't have so much
trouble in finding mine. l never look
here that l don't find hair pins,
combs, powder-some Of your frills.
Haven't you a dresser of your own?
Why on earth must you litter up my
chiffonier ?"
'1ll try not to- didn't know /
often left things here"
"Well, where are my cuff buttons
that's what l want to know now? I've
SOI " SCI do"I " tiiC oiiSS ooiiiS
time today"
ooh, they are here some place"
anxiously "I'll be sure to find them
when l straighten up the room. Can't
you wear another pair this morn
ing ?"
Something Always Missing.
mo, we've got to find those-and
find them now. l broke the only
other pair I'had last week" And he
strobe around angrily, looking under
the edges of the rug as he kicked it
up, and swearing underneath his
breath.
"This is the most internal place
to lose things" he fumed. Almost
every morning it's my collar button
or my scarf-pin or something. II
never used to lose things when l was
alone. It's having your COMPOUNDED
trumpery all mixed up with mine, no
Wait - wait, dear = I'll look
again."
And again she went down on her
knees, again looked under the chif
fonier and bed. She rose, flushed
and Hurried.
ooh, maybe you didn't take them
out of your shirt-they may be right |
therev
She rushed into the bathroom to
the laundry basket. The shirt he had
thrown in last night lay on top. But
were no buttons in the
cuffs. The button holes gaped at her
emptily.
"Of course, not" when she came
back without them. "You don't think
I'm as absent minded as that-do j;
you?'
Listen, DEAR" eagerly. won't you
wear a pair of mine-just today? I'm
sure | can find yours afterwards"
"What are they-sone fancy set
lffairs?"
"No; have one pair of perfectly
,lain gold ones. Wait; I'll get them"
There; won't those do for today?"
He looked at them critically.

I 81 suppose they'll have to do"
and I'll look for yours after
| you're gone. Now come, dear, as
soon as you can; breakfast is ready"
She hurried into the dining room
to see if everything was right Fruit,
oatmeal, toast and two soft boiled
eggs was Warren's breakfast all the
year round. But the eggs had to be
just so-three minute eggs he called
them-and they must not be boiled i
second more or less.
Helen poured his coffee while he
ate an orange and glanced over the
morning paper.
He slipped his coffee and handed
it back.
''Too strong"
She started to fill up the cup with
cream, and then seeing that it would
hold so little more, put it down by
her own plate.
wait, I'll take that and pour you
a fresh cup"
She watched him anxiously while
he broke his eggs, but as he made
no comment, she knew they were
right.
She at her breakfast in silence
while he read. the paper propped up
on the sugar bowl before him.
Finally he pushed back his chair
and glanced up at the clock.
"That clock right now"
Eyes, / think so; set it by Cen
trail yesterday"
He drew out his watch. There was
a tinkling sound as something fell
to the floor.
"Oh," Helen cried joyfully; lone
of the cuff buttons
He picked it up.
See if you have the other one?"
eagerly.
With a frown, he thrust his fore
finger into his watch pocket and drew
out the other.
How in thunder did they get
there"
"You picked them up with your
watch And you were so certain you
left them on the chiffonier," reproach-
fully.
She knew she should not have said
that. He could never tolerate being
told that he was wrong.
what if l were? Everybody's
liable to be mistaken-aren't they?
For Heavens sake. Helen, don't. de-
velop into a 4 told you so woman.
can stand anything but that"
"No-no, l didn't mean"
you're always too darned eager to
tell me that I'm wrong. You never
seem to think that ninety-nine times
out of a hundred it's you that's
wrong And you're always so devil
ishly cocksure about things too"
She crumbled her toast in silence.
She had learned that silence was her
best refuge against his irritability;
it pacifed him more quickly than
any words.
He went into his room and came
out with his hat and gloves.
Don't forget to send that suit to
the tailor's to be pressed"
mo, dear, l won't"
She followed him to the door, when
he aimed hurried kiss in the gen
eral direction of her ear, and was
gone.

BOARD CITES FAIR
MINDED CITIZENS TO
BESSEMER CONTRACT
"Let All Fair Minded Citizens See
For Themselves" Says the
Board of Revenue

That the county is guaranteed
against any loss in the building OF
the Bessemer courthouse is the con-
tention of the board of revenue in a
brief statement given out yesterday
by the board of revenue after dis
cussion of the letter of C. M. Allen,
which appeared in The Age-Herald of
the oath instant.
In the Allen communication the
board is taken to task for letting the
contract for the construction of the
courthouse to Evans Brothers Con-
struction company without competitive
bids and charged discrimination
against other contractors Included IN
the letter is a challenge to the board
to produce bond protecting the coun-
ty against any increase over the fixed
cost price, the basis on which the con-
tract was awarded.
At meeting yesterday, at which
all the members of the board were
present except Rufe Bivins, the mat
ter was discussed and the following
statement issued:
"An inspection of our contract
with the Evans Brothers Construc-
ton company, which is on record
in the office of the board of rev.
enue at Bessemer, will convince
any fair minded citizen that the
county is guaranteed against any
loss.''

mission Yesterday-Rou-
tine Matters Transacted

Donald Conner of the Avondale Cotton
mills had his petition for a continuance
of the license paid by his company last
year denied at the special session of the
commission yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Conner took the position that his
company had no commissaries and did
not barter or trade with their help, and
that they had an annual pay roll of about
100000, and that he did not think that
they should be forced to pay a higher
license than the other concerns, two OF
which he enumerated. both being much
larger than his concern. The commits
sion did not see things as Mr.. Conner
did, however, and allowed the recent
raise that had effected the mills privi-
lege tax to stand.
