Hurley, wartime chairman of the United States Shipping board, today told the University of Virginia in stitute of public affairs.
 Pointing out that the personnel ot American shipyards was increased from 50,000 before the war to $50, Gt0 in 1918 with 130.000 additional workers employed in steamship equipment plants, MT. Hurley de- clared that even the business cXcCu- tives composing the shipping board did not prevent unnecessary waste and extravagance, which. he said. would not have occurred if private enterprise had built the fleet.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

HOWELL was disappointed. For
Il a the first time since coming to
Hollywood he had related the trag-
edy Of his fathers life and Sally
thought it was wonderful"
There seemed to be a hopeless
lack of sympathy between them. He
had asked her for bread and been
given stone. Well, there was
nothing he could do, nothing more
he could say. So he sat staring into
space and saying nothing.
you're disappointed in me, again
aren't you? You wanted me to feel
as you do about it."
That's impossible, I guess"
''It isl she agreed, sadly, because
to me service, plain living and clean
thinking are of more importance
than anything else. His life was
filled with satisfaction, Howell. He
knew the joy of giving and saving
life. All those people who came and
stood in line to do him honor.
My dear, what more could one ask?"
She gazed at him, anxiously, ten
derby. But Howell face was i'm
passive and cold. The radiance
which had famed about her when
they came was lost.
When she put her hand upon his
arm and cried. II promised not to
talk about this again, but since
you've brought it up of your own
accord you wouldn't expect me not
to be frank about it, would you?"
No, he would never suspect Sally
to be anything else but frank.
ITO me, Howell, it's exactly as II
you were selling your birthright for
mess Of pottage.'
That settled it. Howell rose.
Il see. Well since that's the way
you feel about it, there's no use dis
cussing it, is there?"
1T isn't that I can't see why you
feel as you do. Only I think your
line of reasoning is muddled," Sally
continued anXiouSly.
"All right. I'm sorry I told YOU"
"Oh, Howell, please don't say
that"
But I am. shouldn't have tried
to get it across to you"
