II suppose I'd better postpone my
wedding till we get Bayard of our
hands,"
"That's a fine idea |" her father ex-
claimed. It was always JOY to him
to defer an expense. Mrs. Kip flung
him glare and Daphne rolled her
eyes In distress, but he redeemed him
self with an Unexpectedly graceful
turn. 1T let's us keep Daphne with
us little longer"
Daphne wrote this new decision to
Clay. He sent back a letter that fairly
howled with protest.
When Daphne told her parents Of
Clay's anguish they made light Of it.
It was long, long while since they
had been young. They had learned
that marriages contain surprises that
may sometimes be postponed without
misfortune.
Bayard did not write again for sew
eral days. This time he wrote to
Daphne:
Dear Sis-Yours- of no date Gas usuaD

can hardly believe that my little sis is an
nouncing intention to join the procession
and get married. too. You're more sem
sible than I used to think. This is sub

now intend to combine business trip, va
cation, and honeymoon in same voyage
So we get married Thursday and sail
Saturday. Just time to get settled in our
dove-cote before leaving.
Was worrying over not being able to ac-
cept your kind offer to pay me a visit.
Then the blessed wifelet darlingly sug-
gested that her sweet sister-in-law-to-be
should come to New York and make our
apartment her home while she shops.
We won't get back from honeymoon
hike for six weeks at least. You and
mother just settle down there until you
have finished shopping. viii leave key
The letter ended with the usual
oceans of love and kisses and the
usual haste. It set the family to pom
dering. Old Wesley was the first to
speak and his train of thought startled
the women: 4.,r..

row. That's awful sudden! Saves us
buying a wedding present, thought"
When he had recovered from the i'm
pact Of his wife's look he saved him
self again with quick, pleading sug-
gestion: "What / was thinking was
it leaves more money for Daphne's
trousseau."
The poor wretch had grown used to
seeing unexpected gifts of fortune
float into view like soap bubbles, drift
close in iridescent loneliness, and then
wink out, leaving hardly damp spot.
AS soon as he had bravely added
what he had saved from his sons we'd
ding to what he had already voted
to his daughters trousseau he was
doomed to learn that Daphne could
not start East to buy clothes to get
married in until she had bought some
clothes to start East in. And, besides
that, she could not 60 East alone, and
her mother could not 60 with her un-

Louisiana Road Building
Gets Another Big Boost

Road-building projects in Louis
lana. conducted under the joint ST.
pervision of federal authorities and
the Louisiana State Highway Depart
ment, received important impetus
Wednesday, when Congress passed a
bill appropriating $20O,OO0,OO0 for
road building in the United States, to
be divided proportionately among
the various states. The new bill
just passed gives Louisiana an addi-
tional S2,72291813, to be available
within the next three years.
Information that the bill had pass
ed was received by Duncan Butt, head
of the State Highway Department,
Wednesday afternoon by telegraph
from Congressman J. Y. Sanders. The
measure appropriates 50 per cent of
the net earnings of the parcels post
motor truck service for road building.

Under the law passed in 1916 appro-
priating federal aid for state road

Government Seeks A c.
countants at Good
Salaries

Washington, D. c., February 20
The Government has some big task:
in accounting and auditing on it:
hands as result of the war, and i:
willing to pay good salaries to mer
and women who are qualified to per.
/ form them.
The Income Tax Unit of the Blu,
reau of Internal Revenue, Treasury
Department, is in urgent need of $50
travelling auditors and resident audi.
tors for the higher-grade positions
which pay entrance salaries from S.
600 to $500 year.
The Ordnance Department of the
Army needs at once $50 senior cost
accountants at entrance salaries from
$500 to $4,000 year, and $50 Junior
cost accountants at $1,000 to $1,000 a
year.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion wants 50 examiners Of accounts.
These are usually appointed at en-
trance salaries from $500 to S2,lOo a
year, the higher-salaried positions,
paying from $500 to $1,000 year or
more, being filled as a rule by pro-
motion.
All of these positions are open to
both men and women, except posi-
tions of examiner of accounts in the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
which are open to men only.
The United States Civil Service
Commission will receive application.
for these positions at any time until
further notice. Full information and
application blanks may be obtained
by calling upon the secretary of the
local board of civil-service examiners
at the customhouse or post office in
any important city, or by commune
eating with the United States Civil
Service Commission, Washington, D.

1919 there is now available $3.50, 600
under theold law.

1919 there is now available $680,00O
under theold law.
The measure passed Wednesday,
according to Mr.. Buie, will greatly
advance the work of road construc-
ton and probably nakepossible the
completion of the 50O0-ni1e road
building program in less than the
original time set for it by 1928.
When this series of projects is COM
pleted the roads of Louisiana will
link up with the great trahscontinen-
tai lines running north and south,
east and west, connecting the Allan
tic with the Pacific and the Gulf of
Mexico with Canada. The value of
the roads in the state is estimated to
be when completed about $4,000. 00o.

J. Ogden Armour's Com
ment on the Hoover
Letter

Herbert Hoover's successful adj.
ministratin of the worlds food prob
lens proves ability that Justifies con-
sideration of his conclusions upon
any subject to which he has given
mature thought. However, | do not
feel that his opinions relative to the
Federal Trade Comm. sion report
were based on comprehensive know
ledge of the packing industry.
While concuring in the Trade Com
missions demand that stock and re-
frigerator cars be taken from the
packers, he points out that refrigera-
tor cars ARE highly technical SER
vices beyond the ordinary range of
railway management and that
whether this service should be con-
Quoted by government or private en-
terprise seems to me to require fur
Their thought and in any event depend
upon the ultimate disposal of the
railway question"
Such further thought" as Mr..
Hoover recommends was given the
matter by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and its decision after
six years. of exhaustive investigation
might be summed up in this para
graph Of its report of July 81. 1918.
The refiner of oil, or the
meat packer, could no more
do business on an economic
and efficient basis without
his private cars than he could
without his modern equipped
refining or packing plant"
This report. which is of more re-
cent date than Mr.. Hoover's letter,
fully justifies packer ownership of
refrigerator car lines It is not H.
logical to assume that with this re-
port before him. Mr.. Hoover would
concur fully in the contention of the
packers that they, themselves, can
best handle their refrigerator car SER
vice. If any agency is developed for
giving the service that is essential.
|, for one, will gladly relinquish the
privilege of running such cars at a
loss as is now done.
Mr.. Hoover does not concur in the
Trade Commissions demand that
packers branch houses, cold storages
etc, be taken from them. He con-
firms the packers contentious in this
matter.
The part of Mr.. Hoover's letter
which should get the most attention,
in my opinion, is his admonition to
give mature thought to the whole
matter before enacting station
Mature thought and comprehensive
understanding of the functions of tie
industry will bring conclus-
lone in which the industry, itself,
can readily concur.
