BRITAIN SEEKS
. NEW USE FOR
DOCKYARDS

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-Now that the
vancing daily, British naval dock
yards--dependcnt in the past on
naval expansion-must be adapted to
other purposes.
The British admiralty has had this
question und> review for some
months. The doCkyards which will
be chiefly affected by disarmament
will be Chatham, Portsmouth, De-
vonport and Tyneside. At present,
:. the admiralty hopes that the work
now being lost to the yards may he
replaced by:
Build For Others
~ The building of warships for
some Of the smaller naval powers.
(2) The construction of ocean
liners.
Although no one knows the ex-
act outcome of Mr.. MacDon1ld's
visit to the United States" says
Charles G. Ammon, parliamentary
; secretary to the admiralty, ut Is
a fact that all contingencies are be-
ing considered with a view to poSsi.
BILE stabiIiZation in the government
shipyards if and when agreement is
reached.
There are now actually more
people employed in the yards than
there were at the corresponding tirne
last year. This addition is due to our
having advanced certain work. the
re-fitting of the Chilean battleship
and building Of certain necessary
sloops. which are not technically
ships of war.
Vacations Help
1.-THE granting. by the Labor Gov
ernment. of full weeks vacation
with pay to the men in the yards
has also had its effect.
But we cannot come out right
now with any cut.anddried scheme
for employing displaced men. Should
we do that, before the agreement is
definitely reached and signed. there
are people in America who would at
once charge US with hushing the
issue or with taking too much for
granted, and the final negotiations
might be seriously imperiled.
politically, the admiralty must
wait until the Hoover Macdonald
converse tions are complete and their
scheme implemented before plans
for finding new employment for dis
placed labor can be made known

VET HOSPITAL
IN MARYLAND
UNDER FIRE

BALTIMORE, Oct. 30.-Dr.
Frank E. Leslie, head of the
veterans hospital at Perry
Point, and Moses Friedman,
business manager, declined
yesterday to discuss charges
of misadministration Of the
institution contained in COM
plant on file at the Wash
ington headquarters of the
Veterans Bureau.
At the same time the charges
were amplified by Robert A.
Grammes, chairman of the hospital
ization committee Of the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars. Department Of
Maryland.
Report Is Made
The committees report Of alleged
unsatisfactory conditions has been
forwarded to Frank T. Hines, head
Of the national Veterans Bureau,
through Senator Millard E. Tydings.
As result, Hines announced
that a supervisor would be sent
duct an investigation.
DR.. Leslie said the entire matter
now rested with the Washington au-
thorities and that he felt any COM
ment he might make on the charges
would be resented by them.
Most of the complaints made by
the Baltimore unit of the organiza-
ton are directed against Friedman,
who, the report declares, ''is Of
most donlineering disposition and,
although he is under the direction Of
the commanding officer, his attitude
and handling Of the executive duties
indicate that he predonlinates over
the commanding officer
The report was compiled after
the disqualification committee had
visited Perry Point and after sew
eral unofficial visits made by him
self, according to Grammes.
Friedman Leader
Technically" he said, DIR. Les
lie is the commanding officer Of
Perry Point, but he is overriden by
Friedman in the handling Of affairs
of which DR.. Leslie should be the
sole judge.
Instances have been reported to
US where an order was sent in for
a special drug or medicine which
was needed and not ordinarily kept
in stock at the pharmacy and be-
| cause Of the red tape of getting
the order through the business
offices of Perry Point was not re-
ceived for days and days after it
was ordered.
Lack Clothing
An the while the patient for
whom it was needed might have
been suffering for its lack. Then
ne have also heard that the orders
| were never sent out Of the business

to have been lost

on our investigations were going

continued. q" that the purpose for

Loves Reawakening The Story of Wife's Triumph Over Jealousy
 By ADELE GARRISON

T don't strike women,' he said in so lofty way that I couldn't help d li;tle giggle, although I felt much more like shrieking and sobbing, It struck him, too, an1 though he spoke in almost d whisper, his voice made me think of rusty raw.
 Just because I didn't kill you don't get it into your head that l haven't got the whip hand he said Rcmember l haven't anything 10 lose if l do Il stretch, which will compare with what you and your little boy friend will lose. I haven't any rep. and I know what jail is like, but you cant put me in stir for blacKmailing or anything else without a trial and when that happy day comes everybody will have the pleasure Of reading about you as the masked dancer. with all the extra embroidery l promised few min utcs ago. And I shall also resurrect from the tcmb nice little tale about vour sweetic when he was in college. It concerns a stolen ring and girl and a dismissal from college.
 Niary'S Promise. "Of course. l uiltcd at that Mary looked up tt me piteously, T could stand for it myself. but I couidn | bring you and Uncle Diclly and 1 Granzie and everybody into the naoers that way. And to have ! things like that said about Nocl.' | Her voice was suddenly strong with the fierce protective maternal tenderness which is in every woman ] for the man or the children she loves. l frightened my arms around 1 her,
 "What did you promise him, Nary" l asked gently.
 "I didn't have a chance 10 prom isc him anything for minu'e,' she 2nsvored. You see, he saw my face change. and he laughed like the | hyena hc is.
 "HOh. ho' that surprises you doesn't it?' he said, "ro find out the hoy friend has been holding out on vou about that little incident in hls past. You might just as well have stuck to me, you see, for hes cut off the same piece of goods that | am. But l wouldn't have you now II you came to me on your knees. You're worth just $35 a week to me, and no more.'
 '''All right, I said. for my knees were getting SO wobbly that was afraid I would faint away. I'll try to get you the thirty-five, but don't know when. I haven't got that much.' I think I'll show you that you can before the week is out he said. And when I've shown you, won come a-running with the money before something else happens. I'll b. where can see this seat every day at this hour. But don't you dare to bring anybody with you. So long
 He swung his hat off and left me, and l came home to you as fast as l could. And then tonight ha kept his word to show me Oh, oh! Auntie Madgc.'
 She writhed in my arms and broke into uncomfortable sobbing.

Jack Leslie, Despite Mary's Promise to Pay Him Weekly "iiush Money" Made His Threat
 3uainSt Noel

"I think went out of my mind when he called Noel a little rat'.' Mary went on while I sat shocked and astounded at her story Of Jack Ieslie's threats. "l remember scream ing out at him. You wouldn't soil your hands on him. Well, he aoileI his on you to good purpose once. here's where l dirty mine Then l struck him in the face as hard as l could. He didn't have time to dodge and my ring cut his lip, ]; bltd like everything"
 Mary, Mary" I expostuIatcd. But l knew that the chiding was simply the automatic reaction Of my Purl- tan training and that in reality every fibre of me thrilled in sympathy with the girls fiery blow.
 do not think she even heard ry voicing of her name so absorbed , was she in her story.
 Then was the time I did expect to get killed" Mary went on naiTcly. If he looked so murd arous at my telling him that I loathod every memory connected with him l didn't Know what he miehtnt do 10 me after that blow, I had Nrenched free the hand he was holding when I hit him with the other, and. though I wouldn't have run if he had knlfed me, l stepped back pace and tried to guess what he would do and if there was any chance for me 10 beat his game.
 a-- But do you know"-therc was wonder in Mary's voice-"hc didn't make a single move toward me, He put his hand up to his face sort of stupid like, and when he felt the blood he turned as white as a ghost and snatched handkerchief from one pocket and a small mirror from another and looked carefully at the reflection of his face while he wiped off the blood. What do you think of that?"
 Its just what I should expect him to do" l replied. Hes coward he hasn't even the courage of the animal to which he likcned Noel and, like all his type, personal van itv is the strongest characteristic in his mental makeup. At that, Inc probably would have struck you you being q woman and weaker than he-if he hadn't been first concern ed about the appearance of his face which he feared you had leopard ized.
 Holding the Whip Hand
 q guess you're right Mary said "In fact, when he had wiped away the blood and put back the mirror he lowered his head for all the world like an animal that's going to rusf at you. and his face had an awful ugly look. But something mighty lucky had happened for me, and just pointed past him.
 Do you see that policeman?" asked him, and he whirled and look ed at the officer, who was walking along the lower path d little djstanc from us. but not so far away tha he couldn't hear a scream.
 He hasn't seen us yet, l tol' Jack, but he's going to if you toucI me or if you don't take back thos threats about Noel
