SPENDING THE MONEY
Show ed Its Hatred" of the
Trusts.

The democratic administration dur
ing the war period is joke to any
one except those who have to pay
taxes-to them it is tragedy. Elect
ed on a platform pledging hostility to
the trusts, it appointed Barney Baruch
as purchasing agent to pay out the
greatest sums of money ever given a
human being TO spend in all the his
tory of the world, and Barney has
spent his life feeding in the trust
trough. We published few samples
of the way in which he provided for
the cavalry horses last week. Here
are few of his terrible whacks at
the trusts.
He bought, and held as a reserve,
from the fertilizer trust four million
tons of nitrate. When the war was
over did they sell it out to the farm
ers at a reasonble price? Well, hard
ly! They gave it back TO the fertiliz-
er trust to sell to the farmers.
The Curtiss Co. built 1900 planes for
the aviation department and were paid
So 900 apiece for them although none
we're completed in time to be of serv-
ice in the war. The war department
put the impossible price of $500 on
them for sale to aviators and after
short time, although many offers
of $1,000 to $1,000 had been made, sold
. al 80. ~. tAnrtiaa
for $500 each.
A powder plant was constructed in
Tennessee ut a cost Of ninety million
dollars and after the war was over
a cement boulevard constructed around
It At cost of nearly ten million. When
this was completed the entire plant
was put up at auction and sold to Du
Points for 81 SOC. 900. 1t produced no
powder for the war.
The powder plant at Nitro. West
Virginia, was constructed at a cost Of
over sixty million dollars, and although
it never produced a pound of powder,
it was put up along with ten million
dollars worth of cotton and other NOV
able property and sold to the Hercules
Powder Co. for SS,551 900. most OF
which was in deferred payments to be
paid out Of future government con-
tracts.
The Ordnance Department spent
more money than it cost the Lincoln
administration to win the great Civil
War, and this is what they got on the
firing line for it:
Enough of two kinds Of shells to
last our batteries One-haf hour.
80 antiaircraft mount trucks.
IS of the Al inch guns.
4e carriages for these guns.
"a of the inch howitzers.
"a carriages for the same.
And they had a year and half to
do it.

 That was a most excellent dinner Nora McGinnis cooked for us. Tony. I'm mighty glad we had it-and this little visit. for won't see you folks again in a. hurry" remarked Betty as we all strolled into the big living room at Noroton.
 Betty a little nod of understanding, and with another chummy little nod, he gave me to understand that I was to have the honor of pouring the after dinner coffee. But Terry flashed
 You're off again." he asked re- sentfulIy.
 "Yes - the Vocational Education people need me once more," replied Betty with a trace of uneasiness.
 That's the work for rehabilitating war cripples and finding them jobs, isn't it?' asked Anthony Norreys with great interest and no self-conscious- ! ness.
 "Betty-why didn't you tell me?" exclaimed Terry. "pd have arranged i for a trip at the same time. You know I can make things easier for you. This work takes enough toll of you without your having to book your own trains and hotel rooms I must plan to get off directly you do''
 'Please-don't Terry" said Betty 1; in a colorless voice. 'I go tomorrow. This is my job-you can't take-all my hurdles for me. You have a few of your own. my friend"
 Betty, I want to make things easier for you" pleaded Terry as if he had forgotten we were there.
 Betty looked at him almost sadly and shook her head. Then. jerkily, and with no consciousness of her ges- ture, she lifted her scared white hand again and laid it against her cheek with the ugly red gash press- ing harsh1y against her mouth.
 I sought Jim's eyes, but they were closed-in detached wearinesS. Then, as if his eyes were summoning mine.

I turned to Anthony Norreys-and in the silence his thoughts seemed to become audible to me. It was as if he said:
 Poor Terry. You aren't making things easier for Betty at all. She has to hurt you-and every hurt she gives you 1acerates her kind heart" We had our moment, of under standing, and then Anthony Norreys found a way of breaking the painful silence of the, room. ] And what war work are you doing, Mrs. Harrison?" he asked. Instantly Jim catapulted into the conversation.
 'None-thank fortune!" said he. "Au these untrained women rushing into the Hmelight of war work and letting a little notoriety and a few compliments from their ex-butcher boys and their former ice men turn Anne's place is at home"
 "Jim-Jimmie-boy I walled. T didn't know you felt this way. cauldn't guess. I thought of course very day you came out here I went to the committee and signed up for Canteen work"
 Jim strengthened up in his chair. Then he rose and 1imped over to me. There was a cutting, menacing quail Indeed! And you chose to hide this from me. Now, may I ask why you suddenly decide to take my friends into your confidence at the same time that you condescend to in- form me?"
 I felt as if Jim had struck me. To be assai1ed with his cold sarcasm so publicly startled me so that couldn't think-much less speak.

CHAPTER LXxXVu

My order to report for canteen duty came the very day after our dinner at Anthony Norrey's country home.
 I read it through about a dozen times. It's actual message was merely that I should report at the Uptown Canteen at 2:30 and receive my instructions from the lieutenant in charge of the unit-but to me.
 It meant that at last I was part of the great conflict Hurrying g through my work, flurrying into my like so much flying dust And then I sid1ed a bit timorously over to the phone and called Jim.
 A girls voice answered from the other end-it was warm; tropical and alluring in it's timbre, even as it made the mere commonplace replies to my request to speak to MT. Harri- son.
 normal curiosity, Miss West, my secretary, answered the phone," said Jim, almost curt1y. How'd you hap pen to call me up during working working hours?"
 That's an implied compliment to the o-never-interrupts isn't it?' I asked, hoping to restore cor dial relations by changing the sub ject,. abruptly. How'd you like is to
 What do you mean? Can't you give me answers right along with the ridd1es?" he responded with what I knew was masked irritation.
 s'Wel, I won't be home till about eight-thirty tonight. I'm ordered to report at the canteen for the unit that serves from half-past two till eight'-
 Don't worry about me, I'll man. age,'' Jim's voice was icily non-com- initial as he replied. There isn't any danger of your meeting a handsome young soldier and going to a theatre with him, is there ?''
 "JimI" I cried. "This canteen work is dignified and helpful, not an excuse for cheap flirtations-"
 "You don't say so,'' laughed Jim

 Thanks for your clear explana- tion of Anne's motives. You and she so well that I feel you are an au- thority on her mental processes. Perhaps. however, she will speak for herself now that you've given her time to make uD . reasonable story" :"
 Jim's brutal sarcasm brought the painful crimson to Betty's face and the scar on her hand fairly leaped out in ugly relief. And again she pressed that scar to her ips-per- haps to hold them back from speech perhaps to cool the pain in the old wound. I forced myself to speak for was conscious of Terry's boiling an ger at this treatment of Bettys 1oy- alty to me; and couldn't endure the shame of a scene before Anthony Norreys.
 to be a speciality of mine." I said. "But when I saw you plugging away at accounting-to ob1ige Terry - and because you'd been told that you could release a man for the war = I just had to do something, too. And I wanted to come to you in my uniform and surprise you. I thought might 1ook-nice. And I hoped you'd like seeing me ready to do a mite where you'd done so much. Then-just now, when MT. NOEreyS dSkeu lie l couldn't-1ie."
 I couldn't keep a choke out of my voice as I ended. I wobbled along the edges and broke.
 And almost before I had finished Jim caught my hand in his and turn ed to face the room
 Folks, I don't see why you should forgive me-but I reckon you're all such good friends and good sports that you will,'' he said with his most winning smile. I'm only half a man these days-and that half's tired but that's no use acting like brute to the dearest wife and the most loyal friend any man ever was blessed with''-
 Anthony Norreys interrupted him:
 Its I who am to blame. lad. If I hadn't gone blundering in with my forward question, the little girl might have had her secret-and you your surprise. But you'll all forgive me when I tell you the reason I asked was to beg permission to help Mrs. Harrison's work if there's need for a bit of cash from disabled old

banteringly. "Well, then, in case do console myself by taking a beau tiful lady out to dine, I'll arrange to be home by eight-thirty-to see if you're there, tool"
 His tone seemed to put period to the conversation, so I said good-by and hung up the receiver. Then I took a last peep at my dainty uni form and pretty cap, slipped into a long, all-concealing coat and set off for the Canteen.
 As I walked up the street I was happily conscious of my pretty uni- of attention to it. Uniforms were everywhere - uniforms attesting to the new ideals of service and kind ness, uniforms pledging that the service will go nobly on through the long period of readjustment, of ''bringing the boys home'' = when we are referring to 1.-The Late War as one of our famous humorists calls it.
 At the corner, where the green and white lattice work of "Our' Canteen jutted out to the sidewalks edge, l met Pat Dalton. For a second he seemed inclined to hurry by with the briefest of bows - then he wheel ed abruptly.
 'Mrs. Jimmie!" he called in his warm, caressing voice, Mrs. Jimmie don't be running away so fast.''
 Its you who were running away
 
 wait for him.
 At that he coIored most amazingly and stammered:
 For the moment I didn't realize who you were. Are you enlisting to feed our lads, now? It's fine work Mrs. Jimmie. How's Jeanie? Is she is she settled in the new home?"
 ''Why, how did you know anything about her new homer" asked.
 Then, suddenly I remembered that on the day I purchased our house present for Virginia, Tom Mason had informed me that Pat was coming ir to meet him directly-so that was it Tom had told him. But why should mt Pat offer that simple explanation at once with hemming and having Hard on my thoughts, he burst out nervously:
 Mrs. Jimmie will you stand by again Don't tell Jeanie that I know her new address. She might think was-spying on her. She's a. S well of if she doesn't realize, I know
 Perhaps you're right I'll think il over. Now I must fly" I said. "Fd like to explain something''-
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-10-19

urged Pat Dalton almost sheepish1y.
 But I insisted that I couldn't wait for explanations and fairly brushed by him to the doorway of the Can teen.
 There, in uniform, stood Carlotta Sturges, the vivid, conspicuous-1ook- ing girl who had been Pat Da1ton's companion the day first met him.
 Hello, Mrs. Jimmie!" she cried breezily. "Going to serve on this unit? Fine! I'll show you the ropes. Our 1ieutenant's very strict, but as soon as you get used to that you'll be all right. Got your pencil and pad :? Have to furnish them yourself, you know. And your cloth-to wash off the oilcloth on your tables I've an extra one of everything-so I'll stock you up today"
 While she was talking she took full possession of me, propelled me to a little cubbyhole for hats and coats and began to produce the things I evil dent1y needed.
 s'Guess Pat told you I was here. We just came in from 1unching to- gether. Old Pats one of the finest. Friends of the same Pat-friends of each other!" She finished with an air of shy understanding.
 So Pat Dalton has been lunching with Carlotta Sturges. Was that what he had wanted to "explain' to me?
