THE EVENING STORY

and tried TO regain her lost cheeriness
Rusty realized that her feet ached with
a singing throb and her back was so
tired she hated even the thought of
that long walk back up three long
flights of stairs to the next to the top
floor ward. And all this WEAKNESS and
discomfort was because of few rich
people who pretended to be interested
in their city's hospitals! AS If they
could know anything of the struggle to
keep things running smoothly! AS If
they guessed the back-breaking toll be-
hind this perfection that was the pride
of Miss Ryder's heart!
With set lips Eileen turned and start
ed to enter No. z and stopped, rooted
to the spot. A man was standing by
the perfectly made vacant bed and he
was just in the act of reaching out for
the offending glass of water. Mortified,
Eileen rushed forward and snatched the
glass of water, saying: You mustn't
ever drink anything you see on the
tableS-it might be deadly poison!
Don't you know better?" and her voice
was GROSSLY maternal, as one would
speak to small boy.
Smoke-gray eyes cleaned down ct
her from a 6-foot height and the
softest, Southernest. drawly voice she
had ever heard in all her work-ridden
life thrilled the little .ed-headed nurse
as he said: MY, it's nice to be scolded

say some more, please. I almost think
you meant It'll" And Rusty was uncom-
fortably suspicious that he was laughing
at her. But. really. the water isn't
clean, and it might have been gargle
that was deadly poison. I'll get you a
fresh drink" and she was furious with
herself for bluShing so hotly.
Let me carry the glass. You look all
in. Rotten life for a young girl, this
nursing game" commented the man,
walking beside her down the long fight
of stairs.
"Oh, you aren't like the others, are
you?" cried Rusty, thrilled and grateful.
THE other what?" he asked gently.
Visitors" sighed Rusty.

GRAVEST FINANCIAL
CRISIS IS FORECAST
British Economist Startles His
Auditors by Predicting a
Modern Business Tragedy

Manchester. England. March 10
R)-The gravest financial crisis In
the worlds history was described by
Sir George Paish. well known econ
omist, as threatening modern busi-
ness. Sir George startled his audi
tors at the national free trade con-
ference here with hts prediction.
II speak with the highest author
ity. and I challenge anyone to deny
it, when say we are threatened with
the greatest financial crisis the world
has ever seen because the govern
ments Of the world have followed the
policy of trade restriction, preventing
debtors from paying their debts" Sir
George declared.
I'VE are face to face with this
crisis. The greatest authorities In
this country and in the United States
expect 1t to come this spring and un-
less hts policy of safeguarding or pro-
lection is checked, 1t means disaster
to the world.
Il am not exaggerating," Sir George
concluded. Il wish WERE" He
blamed politicians who had pursued
wrong policies since the war for the
impending crisis.

It is in the discrepancy between

Secretary Mellon probably will be
called before the senate judiciary
committee when it undertakes it In
quiry into his right to continue -
head Of the treasury with President
Hoover.
Chairman Norris Of the committee
has not formulated his plans for the
investigation. which was ordered by
the senate during its consideration Of
the new cabinet, but he does feel It
will be necessary to have Mr.. Mellon
come before the committee.
The man point at issue in the In
vestigation Is whether the secretary,
with his diversified wealth. has vio-
lated an old statute forbidding the
treasury secretary from engaging or
being interested In trade or commerce.
Senator Norris believes Mellon II the
person best qualified to inform the
committee Of his business interests.
The resolution Of Senator Nickel
lar. Democrat. Tennessee, ordering
the investigation, also asked an In
depreciation Of the law as to whether
q cabinet officer could carry on from
ono president to another without his
nomination again going before the
senate for confirmation.
Several lawyers In the senate are
of the opinion that such q course Is
permissible, but the committee Il 60.

affects James ]. Davis, the secretary
Of labor, who with Mr.. Mellon vas

Mr.. Hoover did not submit either Of
their names to the senate along with

were quickly confirmed.
