CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

CLOWLY Mark Travers closed the
~ door and faced about A lock
of dark hair fell rowdyiShly over
one eye. The collar of his shirt was
open, his necktie loosened.
In the dim light Norma did not
see the shadows beneath the youths
eyes or notice that his cheeks had
an unnatural tinge.
The girl was out of bed instantly.
She had forgotten her lonely eve
ming, forgot all reproaches.
"Are you i'll, Mark?" she cried,
rushing to him.
Travers rested his weight against
the door, looked at her as though
she were stranger. What you
talking about?" he asked. I'm all
right. Fine! Never felt better in
my life!"
He was certainly not himself.
AbaShed, Mortified the girl stepped
back.
Mark noted the movement.

"Oh, yes, I do. Have a right to

Norma had found her voice.
"Mark-here, sit down. You're
tired. It's so late"
He would not take the chair she
thrust toward him. Instead he
started across the room. There was
a slight unsteadiness in his gait.
Suddenly he turned, Strengthened.
Who's going to stop me from
taking drink if I want to?" he
demanded. "What'd you expect me
to do when the money was gone
sit down and cry about it? If Mr..
and Mrs. F. M. Travers want their

to give way.

not mean them?" 81 love you'll love you GUM

Il cause Halloran and the other
golfers had kept Mark from her for
two entire half days. At any rate,
as the luncheon progressed, she de-

Mark, on the contrary, seemed
to find him most companionable.
Halloran knew friends of Marks,
had been at school with Ted Pat
terson, who, said Mark, was his
closest friend. 1t seemed odd that
Norma never had heard Patterson's
name mentioned before.
The two men left golf to talk of
other individuals who were unknown
to her. AS they talked, even Mark
seemed almost a stranger. He was
discussing school pranks, sporting
events, places and people who meant
nothing to Norma.
They were all familiar enough to
Clint Halloran. Both men laughed
frequently. Oh, they were having
a great timel
Their table was the one Mark and
Norma favored regularly-at the
side Of the dining room, near the
right wall. Sunlight and air reached
them from south as we'll as east
windows. Marks chair stood so
that his back was toward the CEN

4 n and Norma went outside to
ltnger in the lazy afternoon sun. It
was the hour when the inn was at
its quietest. Those with plans for
an active afternoon had disap-
peared. Others were reading or
resting.
Norma's discordant mood van
ished. With Mark beside her every
thing was as it should be.
Feel like strolling over town."
he asked. There's nothing to do

Norma agreed. AS she swung into
step beside him she said, "You know,
Mark, we've been married almost

ON RELIEF
PROGRAM DIVIDED
Some Economists Declare
Sufficient Reason Should
Exist for Emergency Work.

Congress TO-DAY started considering the
necessity for further relief legislation.
The extent OF unemployment naturally
is the big subject under investigation.
1t Is safe to say that there is not menu
Der of Congress who does not wish to see
unemployment and distress wiped out,
but there are many who feel that 1t is
neither possible nor advisable to do this
by legislation. They point out that the
number of unemployed is relatively small
when compared with the total OF those
gainfully employed.
Cost Of Relief.
A good many OF the economists who
have been consulted on the situation
agree with them. They point out that
those employed are entitled to some
consideration. Relief by legislation uT1-
questionably will cost huge sums, and 10
is those gainfully employed who event.
ually will have to pay the bills. This is
not to be taken to mean that there is
any desire to escape this added burden
if the end desired is gained, but there is
a decided difference of opinion as to
whether undue stimulation of even pub
lie works might not have disrupting
effect on business which would delay re-
covery for individual concerns.
The economists state that there ought
to be a good and sufficient reason and
construction undertaken, just as there
must be a demand for any commodity
produced. They fear legislation, even IL
it provides temporary relief, will not
affect real cure.
On the other side of the picture, the
| reports today to the Department of
Labor show nothing to subStantiate OPP
timiStic reports. Employment and pay
roll totals still are declining, despite
| the action of Congress before its re-
cess. The employment agencies find it
just as hard to get jobs for men as
ever. =.
William Green, president of the
| American Federation, declared today
| that labor was faced with increased un-
employment and decreased reserves, but
he finds decided encouragement in the
production policies now ruling in some
of the important industries. He be-
! lieves Spring activity will mark the
turning of the tide, especially as the
: de lease at present is of the usual sea-
sonal proportions. He places unem-
ployed now at 100000
Decline in Incomes.
He states that so per cent of union
members have had to lower their
standard of living and that incomes of
workers have declined over $4,000 900 in
the last year. He added, however, that
there was needless decentralization.
What is needed" he said, lis a clear
| judgment and discriminating applica-
ton of principles that will stimulate
business activity. Attention has neces-
Sarily been directed to relief first, but
permanent help can only come from re-
turn to regular, customary employ
ment."
In connection with the bill for relief,
which taxpayers must meet, attention
is called to the fact that income tax
payments in the last six months fell
$78,010,852 under those of the corre-
spending period of last year.

STATEMENT ON COINAGE
DURING YEAR ISSUED
az the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The annual coinage statement of the
director of the mint shows that $685.
$4,000 domestic pieces were executed
during the year, having total value Of
$8,755, $40.
Minor coins, consisting of nickels and
pennies, were responsible for the
greatest part of the operations, as 252,-
$4,000 pieces executed had a total
value of $3,657,210. Silver coinage
came next with 1901 900 pieces with
total value of S2,658 800, made up en-
tirely of dimes and quarters. 1t is
significant that no silver dollars nor
half dollars were coined in 1880. The
gold coinage consisted of 10000 eagles
and double eagles, with a total value
of S2,440.000.
In addition the various minis exc
cuted 3.300o60 for foreign countries,
including 1,200,060 silver pieces for
Panama.

GAINS FURTHER SUPPORT

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 6.-Official
announcement that the Bolivian gov
eminent would support the interna-

The association said:
We are authorized to contradict
categorically misleading statements

government has not only approved the
international agreement to fix tin ex-
port quotas for 1891 and 1892 by official
decree, but has already appointed rep

INCREASE IN PUBLIC
CONSTRUCTION URGED
General Contractors Recommend
Doubling of Building Program
Over 1880 Figures.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Believing that curtailed construction
is major factor of the depression, the
Associated General Contractors of Amer
lea is urging that public construction in
1881 be double 1930's figures.
The 1890 volume of all construction
was approximately $1,000, 1000 less
than the previous year, though public
works construction showed an increase
for the same period. AS the decline was
entirely within the field of private con-
Struction, where acceieration is difficult
in times of depression, the association
feels that If the construction industry is
to share the leadership in business re-
covery the volume of construction must
be brought up to normal level through
the impetus of public works.
The plan OF the association will be
whipped into definite form at its an
nual convention at San Francisco the
latter part of this month and will con-
sist, according to tentative plans, of q
closer cooperation with State and mu-
nicipal officials. Kindred efforts in 1880
contributed an increase of approxi-
mately per cent in public construc-
ton, the association says and if the
present years volume is to be brought
up to the level of a normal year a
$4,000, 100000 increase in public works
must be brought about, while at the
same time private construction must be
maintained at least at its 1880 level
Reports from surveys indicate that
there is more than 4,500, 900 900 worth
of major public improvements needed in
the United States at present. This total
constitutes potential volume of public
works construction more than double it's
actual volume in 1890, and if the major
portion of this can be brought under
contract during the present year the
construction industry will be able to
lead general business back into a normal
year, the association believes.

ADVANCE IN BOND
MARKET CONTINUES
Improvement Spreads to
Foreign Group Despite
Profit Taking Sales.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

| special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 6.-Though
there were small recessions here and
there where profit-taking made its APP
pearance in wide-moving issues, the
bond market generally continued its
advance today.
The upturn spread to some semi
speculative foreign issues which have
| been quoted at extremely low levels and
| there was a general response of Bra
lillian issues to report that American
bankers were arranging O per cent
loan, said to amount to 5000, 600, 900,
to the Brazilian government. This last
was viewed with SkepticiSm in the
street because of the poor showing of
recent Brazilian issues in the Fall wave
Of selling.
Municipal Group Strong.
One of the features of the day was
the strength of municipal issues in the
face of Supreme Court decision hold
ing that profits made on the sale of
municipal bonds and other tax-exempt
securities could not be deducted from
taxable income.
This decision had been awaited with
some uneaSiness in the street, owing
to the belief that it would cause I'M
settlement to large holders of such
bonds and to underwriting houses
carrying large amounts. Since the court
decision included the provision that
losses on taX-exempt securities might
be deducted from taxable income, it
was reasonable to suppose that large
holders, whose portfolios showed loss,
might sell out, in order to realize their
losses. But this did not happen
The market, as matter of fact, paid
more attention to rumors that long
term Treasury issue might come out on
March Is, and that the Province of On
tario will shortly sell 100000 of 4 II
per cent serial bonds.
The strength of high-grade issues was
illustrated by advances in Baltimore g.
Ohio As, Great Northern Is, Pennsyl-
vania 412S, Union Pacific As, ConsoIi-
dated Gas SIS, Philadelphia Co. SIS.
National Dairy Products 54s and
Youngstown Sheet & Tube SIS. A few of
the higher grade rails sold around their
1890 highs. Consolidated Gas was re-
ported to be arranging some new fnanc-
ing.
Junior rails continued to climb. There
were gains in Chicago Great Western
As, Erie 5s, Florida East Coast SIS, Mis-
souri-Pacific 512s, Frisco 412s and
Southern Railway As. Junior industrials
like Armour of Delaware SIS, Dodge
Bros. IS. International Hydro-electric
and Pathe Is were also higher. The
agreement of the Pathe Exchange with
Radio-Keith-Orp was a bullish
argument and the rs advanced sharply.
Convertible Group.
Warner Bros. Picture IS featured the
convertible group with 5-point gain,
following publication of the company's
earnings reports showing a net of So
100000 in the quarter ended November
30, and announcement of plans to re-
tire all bank loans by January 81. Cash
on hand was given as 5000 900.
