 Jimmy guessed the truth-that Kronberg had met Vivienne while she was posing at Channing's stu dio The producer, he knew, was a fast worker when a pretty girl caught his fancy.
 Seeing Vivienne there riled him. Aileen would be waiting for her at home; no doubt getting dinner ready. Yet her chances were that Kronberg would suggest their or dering here.
 Somebody ought to warn he fool to keep away from him. Not that it mattered to Jimmy what Vivl- cnne chose to do-except on Aileens account. Just the same, he felt that he ought to break this thing up somehow, to hit on some way of making Vivienne realize that a bit in Kronberg show is always dearly bought.
 One of these days Kronbcrg would make front page in whale of a juicy mix-up. It might be as well to suggest to Viv that she need not figure in it.
 Then Crane had an inspiration Vivienne had not seen him. Twen- ty minutes later he was sitting be- fore the fire in Channing's studio Charming listened quietly to Jim my's story. His code forbade his mentioning the scene that had passen between Vivienne and him self. He had been certain that Vivienne would get in touch with Kronbsrg.
 Her motive was perfectly plain and unless he was much mistaken there was something more thar pique in her having phoned to the producer. She was far too sophisti- cated not to be thoroughly aware of what she was about
 Charming strongly suspected that her underlying purpose was tt make him jealous, though he dis counted her sincerity in proposing what she had to him.
 She would never have gont through with it if his answer hat been different. She had knowr what his reaction would be.
 
 her that his only interest in he charms had been from an artist viewpoint.
 The real secret was that Vivienn' needed a man who would care fo her as Crane cared for Aileen. Witt all of her deep intensity-as ye only partly stirred-her soul criet for the caresses of a man wh'

 Jimmy wondered whether this porcelain mask that Charming had proposed, would really make such difference in Aileen's mental viewpoint. It was certainly worth trying.
 The telephone began to ring and Charming called out from his bed room. Crane, would you mind answering that? I'll be there in a moment"
 Jimmy lifted the receiver and absently said "Hello!" A woman's voice was speaking, hardly above a whisper, tremulous note in her tone. "Is that you Dwight?" came the question.
 Just a second" Crane answered. Then, before he could say anything more, he heard his own name.

 He did. It was Vivienne. What is it? Anything I can do?"

A survey and analysis of condi-

NDER-CONSUMPTION
IS CAUSE Of WHEAT
CRISIS, DuCE SAYS
italian Premier Gives Opening
Address at First World
Grain Conference

Rome, March 26.-(AP)-- The
worlds wheat crisis comes not SO
much from overproduction but from
under-consumption, Premier Mus
solini told the inaugural meeting OF
the world grain conference here
Thursday.
Therefore, he said, it would be
rash indeed to call for limitation OF
cultivation of cereals when in the
world there are all too many people
poverty-stricken and grievously dis
tressed."
Bread, he said, has somewhat been
replaced by more choice types OF
food with improved standards OF life
among the masses.
Forty-six nations, including the
United States, are represented at
the conference, which has as it's task
the solution Of the problem of the
international wheat surplus. The
official delegates of the United
States are John A. Simpson of Okla
homa City. president of the Nationa!
Farmers Union, and c. w. Croes, OF
Aberdeen, South Dakota, represent
ing the American Wheat Growers
association.
Among the specific problems the
conference will attempt to solve are
mean for reducing world wheat
production, stimulation of consump.
ton, lowering the cost of transport
and exchange, and the facilitation OF
agricultural credit.
At a preliminary executive meet.
ing yesterday a sharp difference OF
opinion arose between representa-
tives of Argentina, Canada, Aus
tralia and the United States, on the
one side, and European nations or
the other, over the question Of a
preferential tariff. Europe moved
for a tariff ~favoring European ex-
porters which would virtually shut
out foreign wheat, including Ameri-
can, from Europe.
"Today's splendid meeting" Pre-
mier Mussolini said. sis a proof Of
the existence Of good will, and the
possibility of collaboration, among
the states in a field in which the
insuperable force of social progress
should be kept far above the unre-
strained workings Of purely indi-
vidualist economic conception.
The state of agriculture, he said
exercises "a determinative and pre-
dominant influence" on general eco
nomic life.
The difficulty, he indicated, is moi
over-production of wheat so much
as under-consumption. with the
approved standard Of life among the
masses of town and country popula-
tion." he said, "bread has to some
extent given way to choicer types OF
food"
Whether the tendency Of wheat
production to %outstrip the increase
of population should be considered
a permanent phenomenon, Mussolini
said, should be decided before any
decision to curtail production was
reached. He characterized present
production curtailment moves as
having IAN alarmist note"
"This conference" he said, must
regard not only the interest of pro.
duction and markets but also the in
terest Of the consumer"

CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE PROCLAIMED
BY ASKOV MAYOR

Christmas Seals come to us this
year with a particularly urgent
appeal. In the trail of the de-
preston and the privations and
worries it has brought to all our
people, comes a threatened in
crease in the prevalence of tuber-
culosis. Already in some places
in our country, a higher death
rate is reported.
Year after year as the result
of unceasing effort and the gen.
crosby of all classes of people,
the tuberculosis death rate has
steadily decreased until it is only
half of what it was 25 years ago,
and we all feel much safer from
this dread disease. What a calam-
ity it would be if this steady
march towards final victory
should be interrupted, and the
death rate jump as it did in Eu-
rope after the war.
In the face of this danger,
tuberculosis associations must in
crease their efforts during the
coming year, and they are appeal
ing for increased contributions to
the seal sale funds that this may
be possible. The Christmas Seal
does not ask a great deal of any,
one, but it is urged that every
one give something, and in this
emergency that those who can af-
ford it contribute more generously
than ever before, so it will be pos
sible to hold the ground gained.
l am sure the people of our
community will respond readily
to this urgent appeal and that we
will pass all previous Seal sale
records this year.
