CHAPTER 23. THE USELESS ONES"

Sondra left the hotel soone, than she had intended, and moved into rooms which she had hunt ed out in quiet street.
 After her chance encounter witt Cass she was seized with a sense of panic.
 At all costs she must avoid meet ing John Anderson.
 If Cass was right in what he had said she felt that she could never face him. It would mean telling him about Mark, and ad- mitting that in moment of ex- citement, she had made the great est mistake of her life.
 And if Cass was wrong-well. it would be more painful to meet John again, knowing that he was free and that he no longer want ed her.
 So she slipped away without leaving an address, telling herself that the old life was over and done with, and that she must start .afresh and try to find work.
 But anyone who is incapable and unused to work knows what an almost impossible proposition it is, and at the end of three days Sondra realized bitterly that her marketable value was something in which only she herself had be-

1 things are always managed st that someone comes along anc looks after them"
 T am one of the useless ones, Sondra thought with a pang. q wonder what will become of me?'
 She had began to be nervously afraid of going out for fear she should meet anyone who 1ac known her in the old days, anc Cass was almost the only sou she ever met or spoke to.
 Sometimes she had tea witt him in the corner tea rooms. She was quite frank with him, feeling that she could trust him.
 I've disappeared so to speak for the moment" she said. I'm not 50 well-off as I used to be, so I'm lying low till I con look around and make plans. You won't give me away, will you?"
 You won't tell me where you're living?"
 Sondra smiled.
 No, and I hope you won't try to find out" she said with plead ing eyes.
 Cass shook his head reproach- fully.
 You know your own business best" he said. But it's a pity, its a thousand pities."
 Sondra had arranged to have any letters sent on through the bank, but she received sunpris- ingly few.
 She wrote at length to Mark, telling hini of the sudden upheav- al in her life and making joke of it.
 q am now that fashionable thing, a bachelor woman,' she wrote, but don't worry about me, am very well able to look after myself"
 If he guessed the truth she knew he would either cable for her to

join him, or throw up his job and come home on the next boat.
 And then-then what? Life or a small income, in some suburban town, with no hope of anything better.
 T can't, I can't" Sondra told herself despairingly. and yet what else was there for her to look for ward to? What would she dc when her money had all gone?
 She often thought of Flora ana wondered where slle was.
 If they would have joined forces somewhere things would not have been so bad. Sondra knew that Flora really had great strength of character; Flora would always be able to make some sort of . life for herself, she would never look back and regret the steI she had taken-she would march straight on, defying Fate. The weather turned suddenly very hot, and there seemed very title air in the narrow street. Sondra's bedroom looked out or to a garage where men seemed te be eternally washing cars anc |cranking engines, even at nlgh1 the place was brilliantly illuminat. led, and the noise never ceased. You're getting thin," Mrs. Sears said critically one morning. "I was always thin" Sondrs said quickly. And suppose it.. the heat"
 Mrs. Sears hesitated, then sht said. Well, it's not my business and if you tell me so I shant be offended, but why a young lady like you wants to come and live

ANOTHER LARGE SALMON PACK

The indications that Aaskas salmon mack this year will be large in spite of the reduced number of canneries that have been operated The pack is likely to reach nearly the five-mion- case mark. There will be larger pack of red salmon than at any time in recent years. That will mean among other things. that the Territorial revenues will be in far better shape than feared
 While The Empire has always contended that Commissioner of Fisheries OMalley more drastic than necessary in imposing conservation regulations to restrict the taking of salmon the results he sought to obtain have apparently been reached He was

EXPEDIENT TO BE INACCURATE.

Byron Price Chief of the Washington, D. C., staff of the Associated Press commenting on Pres- dent Hoover's acceptance speech said:
 On the score of Prohibition he charged
 that the Democratic repeal proposal would
 bring back the saloon attended by ruin, and
 asked the country to put its faith in a
 sane solution"
 That is conservative method of restatng what MT Hoover had to say about the Democratic repeal plank, which, firmly the President himself did, declared against the return of the old saloon evil The chief objection to his liquor statement the Cincinnati Enquirer noted at the time of its deliv- cry lis it's gross inaccuracy."
 He charged that the Democrats purpose to de- stroy every vesge of effective Federal control the traffic in liquor If this is not msrepresena- ton it is very near to it. The veriest tyro in gov ernment knows that the power rests solely in Con- gress with or without the Eighteenth Amendment to regulate and control interstate and that power gives to the Federal the authority and means of protecting Dry States from their Wet neighbors
 The President apparently sincere, declared
 It is my belief that in order to remedy
 present evils change is necessary by which
 We resummon proper share of initiative
 and responsibility upon which the very es-
 sence of government demands shall
 rest upon State and local authorities
 If that doesn't mean to return to the several States the power to control the liquor traffic, it is without any meaning at all. Of course he added the phrase: That change must avoid the return of the saloon" No leader of any political party has held otherwise. No State has been recorded as favoring the reestablishment of the saloon not those in which speakeasies have fully replaced the saloons of pre-Vostead days. Thus in attempting to portray to the country the Democratic Party as seeking to resurrect that institution the President has not confined himself to the facts reasonable deductions therefrom.
 Perhaps to have been expected. In gangster parlance MT. Hoover "on a hot spot" The party platform, written at his dictation and adopted by the convention against it's apparent desire, had failed to satisfy either the Vets or the Drys insofar Prohibition involved The President sought to placate the Vets by admitting the evils under the erstwhile noble experiment" grave that the system must be changed and advocated turning the matter back to the individual States. To keep the Drys in line, he depicted the opposition fostering the return of the saloon although they merely proposed repeating the Eigh- teenth Amendment the only means by which the power of regulation could be returned to the States
 His logic failed to be convincing. Failed because his facts were awry He found it expedient from political standpoint to be inaccurate and in this respect his own Prohibition platform is not far superior to that of his party.

 Apparently nobody in the whole New York wanted her, or believed that she was of any use. Agen- cies took her fees and entered her name in bulky ledgers, and agents stared at her clothes and shook their heads.
 The woman in whose house she had found rooms was a kindly sym pathetic soul in spite of the fact that she declared she had no be- lief in anything.
 Sometimes when she brought Sondra's meals she would stay and talk to her, always standing in the open doorway as if she had not moment to spare, and yet delaying her departure sometimes for nearly half an hour.
 She had been married she told Sondra, and her husband had left her after two years.
 T don't believe in men," she said calmly.
 But you must have loved him to have married him." Sondra said.
 T don't believe in love-" Mrs Sears replied.
 What do you believe in?" Son. dra asked one day, half amused half depressed by her pessimism

More than 100000 motorists crossed the inter- national boundary into Canada during the vaca- ton season of 1931 according to figures just re- leased by the Department of Commerce; and while vacatoning in the Dominons these motorists to- gether with 1,175000 of their fellow countrymen who went to Canada by train steamship, spent upwards of $188OOO0O0
 While this going Canadian vacationists in the United States spending $40,000,000 on their trips The figures represent only com parativey small decline from 1930 and it is believed that this years travel will not be far behind.
 There could not be better illustration of the close relationship between the two nations. It is hard for the ordinary citizen of the United States to look on Canada a foreign country Those 13 000 900 vacation tourists testify to uncommon y intimate international bond.

 T suppose I look the same" she thought.
 Then one morning she woke with a sore throat and splitting head ache. She tried to get up, but she felt so weak and giddy that she was glad to crep back into bed again, and there Mrs. Sears found her.
 I'm afraid I've got a chill" Son. dha apologized. Do you mind if stay in bed for a little while?"
 Mrs. Sears laid a practical hand on the girls forehead.
 You've got a temperature, too" she said. You stay where you are"

AMERICAN HOUSING

With a forword by President
Hoover, in which he states that,
"The next great life in elevat-
ing the living conditions of the
American family must come
from a concerted and nation
wide movement to provide new
and better homes" the first
volume Of the final reports Of
the Presidents Conference on
Home Building and Home
Ownership is today offered to
the public. It includes the first
part of a complete program for
raising the standard of Ameri-
can housing, a program based
upon the experience Of scores of
private and public groups and
individuals professionally en-
gagged in all the multitude of
fields whose combined activities
produce modern housing. 1t
represents the first fruits of the
Conference held last December,
which, by pooling all pertinent
experience, for the first time
made such a program possible.
This present volume, entitled
planning for Residential Dis
tricts," offers means to put an
end to the rapid decay which is
the curse of American home
neighborhoods, and so TO pro-
tect the investment of the home
owner. 1t includes the reports
of the four committees of the
Conference that dealt with the
home surroundings. namely
the committee on City Plan
ming and Zoning, Subdivision
Layout. Utilities for Houses,
and Landscape Planning and
Planting.
Because housing in unincor-
porated areas adjacent to cities
presents certain unique prob
lens a report on this subject by
a special group of the Confer
ence is included.
In an introduction, the edi-
tors, DR.. John M. Cries and DR..
James Ford, state that the
volumes will serve as a guide
ito every citizen or organiza-
ton that feels stirred by the
great challenge of our housing
problem" This first volume on
the home surroundings is a
handbook particularly for city
planners. subbividers, real es-
tate men, and city officials as
well as for garden clubs and
civic improvement association.
But it supplies also a text book
for schools and colleges, and q
source book to business and
