Flushingiy conscious of attracting at
tention from other tables, Helen muir
INJURED an apologetic thanks. and hur-
ried back to the doorway. where War
rem stood in scowling impatience.
Through the heart-sick weight Of
her loss, she was conscious Of hurt
resentment at his lack Of sympathy.
He had not tried to help her. he
had stood coldly back. forcing her
to make all the inquiries.
That ends this wild goose chase"
was his muttered comment as he
swung her through the revolving
doors out into the frosty night.
''Oh, don't say that! We must find
them! I can't give up my rings"
Don't think you've much choice"
brutally. IF you don't know enough
to take care Of 'em-might as well
lose 'em now as later"
The electric signs blurred through
Helen's tear-dimmed vision as he
hurried her towards the subway.
There was a bare possibility that
she had dropped the purse in the
subway coming down. So when a
moment later they pushed their way
into crowded car, Helen paused to
interview the guard about the Lost
and-tound bureau.
Phone when you get home" in
terrupted Warren brusquely.
"oh, dear, let's go up there-this
train takes US! The office is closed,
but he says we can see the watch
man."
Wen do nothing of the sort. Had
enough of this for one night"
Then I'll go alone" desperately.
II couldn't sleep il I left anything
undone-Pd be wretched all night"
A contemptuous, incredulous
shrug was Warren's dismissal of
this outburst. But when they
slowed up at their station, Helen
drew back with tremendous def
ance.
Here. don't be a bigger fool than
you can help" sternly, pushing her
towards the door.
Releasing her arm from his hold
she dropped into seat just va
Gated.
He could only glare at her. He
could not drag her out. Already
several of the passengers were
watching them curiously.
Helen lowered her eyes under the
black fury of his. Having now

seat by her side. he stood glover
ingly before her, his cane hooked
through the swaying strap.
That she would have to pay for
this defiance. she knew. But Just
then she felt almost Indifferent to
his anger. If only she could find
her rings! Nothing else seemed to
matter.
When at length they reached the
company's offices, the place was
discouragingly dark. However a
sympathetic wachman consulted the
Lost and Found entries. Nothing
but an umbrella had been turned
in since o'clock!
The homeward trip was to Helen
an anguished half hour Warren's
ominous silence added to the sick
realization of the now seemingly
hopeless loss of her rings.
why wouldn't you help me?" she
fared recklessly as they entered their
steam-sizzling apartment. I've lost
my rings-I'm perfectly wretched. In
stead of sympathizing you"
How about your pulling off that
scene in the subway" he snorted,
slamming into the bedroom.

CHINESE LABORERS
OPPOSED BY POST
Assistant Labor Secretary Also De-
clares Mexicans Not Wanted.

Louis F. Post, Assistant Secretary
of Labor scored the proposition
that Mexican and Chinese common
laborers be imported to flll labor short
ages. % .-s
He declared that the situation did
not warrant such a step. There is no
actual labor shortage. he said. only
a lack OF adjustment to meet new
conditions.
Mr.. Post disclosed that approxi-
mately 10000 laborers from the
United States territories of Porto
Rico and the Virgin Islands are to be
moved here for work on the mainte-
nance Of railroads, etc. These men
were registered for this work some
time ago.
Director General McAdoo has asked
the department to aid in securing
labor. The new men will be used on
South and Southwestern roads and
for farm work in season. They will
not be used for strike-breaking OF
similar purposes, but to I'LL a demand
for common labor.

Adams Is Mentioned
To Succeed Wilcox

Political gossip has it that John p.
Adams, of Dubuque. Iowa, or William
Hayes, Of Indiana, will be appointed
to succeed William r. Wilcox as
chairman of the Republican National
COMMITTEES. Between the two ma
tional committeeman, the choice Is
given to Mr.. Adams.
There Is not much speculation as to
a successor to Cornelius N. Bliss, who
resigned as treasurer. The political
sharps do not seem to have "doped"
out this selection.
The meeting of the national COM
mittee will be held in st. Louis Feb

the Republicans to capture a ma

GASOLINE SUPPLY IS LARGE
There Are Millions Of Acres of Oil
Lands in This Country Which
Have Not Been Touched.

A group Of oil experts may insist
that the gasoline supply Is In danger
of exhaustion but there are others or

at the notion and take an optimistic
view, says Millstones.
In this country there are still mil
lions Of acres of oil lands which have
scarcely been scratched. The Mexican
oil fields can increase their production
more than tenfold once the transpor-
tation difficulties are solved. Costa

ton and distribution is being i'm
