CHAPTER NNu
An Exciting Call

THE result of Clarlssa's appeal 20
Jerry was complete dulllng of Fran
cCs' enthusiasm regarding her splendid
hfty-fifty scheme. She had begun It with
SO much hope and she still felt that Il
was fair and that II any one suffered
through II, certainly she ought not to be
the one
Frances was not the kind Of q girl to
conflde her own personal affairs to any
one, and therefore she could ask the
advice Of no one. Furthermore she was
too proud to admit that probably she had
been wrong, that her ideas had been too
radical, that Jerry was not big enough
20 understand. She could not believe
eN en- yet that Jerry psychoOgically re-
bclled against taking money from her,
and that his attitude toward her had
changed because she had insisted upon
paying her share Of the bills. hut the
fact did remain that Jerry treated her in
treated another man. He kept the little
them.
And then ono day after Frances had
nibbled at n sandwich and had drunk a
glass Of milk standing up in the Kitchen
as women often do when they are alone.
the door bell rang somewhat sharply
and impcriously, and hurrying to an
swcr Il, Frances was suddenly pulled
into the quick embrace Of the visitor who
stood there.

 ANTACONIZINC
 UNITED

HONOLULU, May 6 (by Associated Press).-That the question involved in the language press control bill now before the Hawaiian territorial leg islature is fundamentally a question of labor and capital and is not an issue involving an anti-Japanese or un-American attitude on the part of the Japanese press" is the declara- tion of Chinosuke Yada, Japan's con- sul general here.
 "The fact is unfortunate that labor in Hawaii is almost exclusively Japa- nese and capital almost exclusively American" he said. "So that, while the question is purely one of eco- monies, these circumstances tend to make it appear as a racial issue to outsiders.
 While I admit that some of the Japanese papers have employed a hostile pen towards the sugar plant. CTS, it is against certain particular plantations where the same treat ment is not accorded to the laborers as is given to workers on other plant, ations. The laborers on these latter plantations are content, and on many of the plantations the relations be- tween laborers and the management are so cordial that nothing more is desired.
 "The Japanese papers are not hos. tile toward the Hawaiian Sugar Plant CTS Association nor toward America and the United States government My first and last policy is the recon ciliation of labor and capital"

CIVESHOME TO AVERT DANGER
 REVOLUTION

HYDE, Eng, May 6 (by Associated Press) Austin Hopkinson, member of the house of commons, has just given to the local governing council of Hyde, his mansion, valued at $150,- 900 and 20 other houses and he has gone to live in an old barn on what was once a part of his estate. He has taken this action because he be- lieves that manifestation of the spirit of self-sacrifice on the part of public servants would avert any dan ger of revolution in England.
 MT. Hopkinsons other deeds of generosity include the disposal of his furniture to friends and the needy partly by sale and at bargain prices and partly by free gift. He gave his handsome automobile to his chauf- feur. The latter has now started in business with it. His former em- ployer, the donor of the machine, is one of his best customers.
 To questioners, MT. Hopkinson has said his intention was to live the life of simple workingman and to help others as much as possible. In his own workshops, he has introduced a profit-sharing system that is without precedent inasmuch as the higher the yield, the less he receives, and after a certain sum is reached, he is to receive nothing at all
 During the war, Hopkinson was an officer. He was discharged as unfit, but rejoined as a private.

Japan to tour the Far East to stage baseball exhibitions unless the pres ent schedule, which calls for the de- parture of the team for the Orient some time in August, can be changed to permit the nine to leave the United States earlier in the summer, according to faculty members.
 Several of the teams star men are also football players and, according to schools officials, leaving in August would not permit their return to school until too late in the fall for gridirOn work.
 Coach Elmer Henderson, who would accompany the baseball men if a revision of the present schedule can be effected is also the football coach. Negotiations with Japanese sports officials relative to the change are under way
