Celia! What kind of. a job?"
Why didn't you tell me?"
It had really been. the most mar
velous luck. Celia's, eyes grew wide
as she talked, It had all happened
so suddenly.
She had been on her way to see
a prospective employer the day be-
fore when she met Sally Roberts on
the street. Sally had finished West
ern the year before and stopped to
ask what Celia was doing. AS soon
as, she heard Celia was looking for
a job she volunteered to help.
/ Sally was one Of the. Stenogra-
pliers in the office of the Ridgeway
Contracting; Company. One. of the
other girls in the office was leaving
to be married in ten days, No one
else had been hired yet to take her
place.
welt went right over to see
Mr.. POrter--he,ss the man. in charge
and Sally told him had a good
record in school, Mr.. Porter talked
to me a while and. then, he asked
me to. take some dictation.
THANK goodness, I got it right!
After that he said L could have the
job. Isn't. it wonderful I'm to get
$40 and begin work a week from
next Monday"
Mrs. Rogers agreed that it was
wonderful, Her strength seemed to
rally with Celia's enthusiasm. Later
in the afternoon she insisted upon
dressing and even went downstairs
for stroll in the cool of the eve
ming.
Our lucks changed!" Celia sang
out as she was undressing for bed.
You're well again and I. have. a
job and-oh, I feel so happy!"
Barney Shields name had been
on the tip Of her, tongue when she
cut her words short. Celia was not
quite ready to tell even her mother
about Barney.
Next morning Margaret Rogers
insisted upon returning to, work at
the dress shop. She refused to, lis
ten to her daughters cautions and
departed at the. usual hour. She
went again the next day and the
next.
But on that third day, unknown
to any of her co-workers, Margaret
Rogers visited a Doctors office. The
physician gave his ultimatum
bluntly.

HOOVER FOR
CUT in DEBT
Frowns On Idea Of Using
Sinking Fund For
Expenditure

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22-tP)-
Regardless OF a prospective deficit
President Hoover has diSapproved
suggestions for suspending this year
al reduction OF the public debt.
In the interest Of SOUND govern
ment financing the chief executive
announced yesterday he wished left
alone the sinking fund set aside for
reducing the obligations Of the
United States. With his announce
ment, what hopes remained for a
continuance or the current one per
cent reduction in income tax rates
sank TO a new low.
The proposal had been made in
several quarters that the sinking
fund. now about s430, O00. 900 a year
be applied through congressional
authorization against this years ex-
pcnditures. It was hoped to avert. or
reduce to a minimum, the deficit
and also permit continuance Of the
lev tax rate.
The president indicated other
funds which have been applied 70

years would be available for cur
rent use. These include foreign
debt payments and other receipts
which have not been needed for i'm

Ahead On Reduction
The government now Is far ahead
or the statutory requirements in the
matter Of debt reduction. From the
peak or s26. 600 .O00. 900 the nations
obligations have been reduced in ten
wears 10 $751; 100000. II was this
condition that inspired the propos-
al to leave the debt unreduced for
one year. Even before the presi-
dents announcement. however. both
the treasury and several congress
sional leaders had made known they
would not recommend II.
A shrunken internal revenue,
coupled with the need this year for
considerable appropriations for re-
lieving abnormal economic condi-
tons. has brought about the deficit
expectation. Mr.. Hoover recently
expressed belief il would be a small
shortage.
The budget plans now being drawn
up contemplate stringent economy
