Dad rescued her by turning to thank
Roger for having brought Ed home
from town. But she realized, as she
bolted into her car, that Mr.. Morgan
had been in the act of saying some
thing else when dad interrupted him
something about coming himself to see
the play. He hadn't meant it of
course, but what an idiot he must
think her to have dashed away like
that without a word 1t was too late
to do anything about it now. He was
saying good night in very self-pos-
sessed sort of way to mother and dad
and getting back into his own car.
She was warm enough now, burning.
She threw back her cloak and let
down the window. He couldn't posi-
bly, have meant that he really wanted
to come and see the play, could he?
Oh, we'll, he certainly wouldn't now.
Eds looking we'll, isn't he?" dad
said as they drove off together. "And
isn't it fine to have him back?"
She was guiltily aware that she'd
forgotten all about Ed. She'd even
forgotten for few seconds about the

the way to the performance! Suppose
she were to forget her part?
When dad pulled up at the entrance
with a swell, good luck, my dear!
Well see you after the show" she was
so paralyzed with misery that she
could hardly get out of the car. And,
though she wouldn't have believed it
possible, she went on feeling worse
and worse. She discovered she
couldn't speak in anything above
whisper. Her voice was gone alto
gether Her feet and hands were
numb. She'd thought and passionately
hoped she was going to be frightfully
ill. They'd find her unconscious there
in her corner. That would stop the
play. Better that than disgrace. She
really believed something like that
was going to happen. Perhaps she'd
better tell Miss Bennett.
But Miss Bennett took her plight
calmly She said an utterly unbe-
lievable thing. "stage fright? Well,
that's good sign. The greatest
actors they say, always have it worst.
I've heard 1t said that John Barry
more, whenever he opens new play,
feels just as bad as you do now"
She knew that wasn't possible; yet
there was flavor of comfort in it.
The miracle didn't happen until she
had been some minutes or the stage.
She heard herself saying the first few
lines but she was sure that nobody in
the audience could hear. But when
they brought Uncle Oliver onto the
stage, and Moses introduced him,
something queer happened to her. She
forgot that she had forgotten that
speech. She heard herself saying it
in new voice that wasn't hers at all.
1t was Charles Surfaces; light, clear,
vibrant. She wasn't made of wood
any more, she was made Of air. She
felt, rather heard, sort Of electrical
crackle of amusement. 1t came from
the audience. She had made them do
1t. She could make them do it when
ever she spoke 1t was the most won.
derful thing that ever happened In the
world.
In the wings she kept away from the
other girls. She had feeling that if
she talked or even listened to what
they said, the virtue would go out of
her.

almost disembodied, after the thing
was over, triumphantly over, an &C.

but it wasn't possible to realize that
it was over; that she would probably
never be Charles Surface again. 1t
would have made her blue If she could
have realized that. but she couldn't.
The one thing that really broke
through was what Miss Bennett said.
You're real actress, Edith, and I'm
proud of you"
They were going to have a short
dance after the performance, but Edith
didn't want to stay for it. She just
wanted to be quiet for while and
all alone so that she could go on
living it.

Economist Hits Price-Cutting
As Productive of
Unemployment

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
July s Q.N.S.). - Industrial
trade associations and CO.
operative measures among busi-
ness leaders constitute the sole
measures for relief of the pres
ent economic crisis, Charles F.
Abbott, of New York, director
of the American Institute of
Steel Construction, told the
sixth annual session of the In
stitute of Public Affairs of the
University of Virginia today.
Abbott declared:
"UnleSs price cutting can be
stopped and prices advanced to
the point where they will show
a reasonable profit, then wages
must be further reduced, in
creaSing the volume of unem,
plOyment. Prosperity and de-
structive price-cutting cOmpeti-
ton have no relationship one
with the other.
"The only known relief from
our present difficulties is
through the activities of our
industrial trade associations.
They, alone. through cO-Opera-
tive effort. hold the key to q
better business"
Abbott deminded that the De-
partment of Justice and Federal
Trade Commission had not al.
ways been friendly toward CO.
operative ventures and trade as
sociations. He admitted during
the past there had been many
unScrupulous leaders who at
tempted violation of the anti
trust laws under the guise Of
the trade association but asserted
no trade or industry could long
exploit its consumers for surplus
profits.

STREET BETTERMENT
OPPOSED BY CITIZENS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHEVY CHASE. Md, March "a
Residents of Martins addition voted
against proposed improvements on three
of four streets in their subdivision at
a meeting in the Bradford Home School
last night. The Citizens Committee,
which conducted last nights meeting,
will have the sentiment expressed there
to guide them in finally deciding
whether or not the streets will be i'm
proved at this time.
Proposed improvements in the follow
ing streets were vetoed by the citizens:
Chestnut street, from Taylor to
Thornapple; Thornapple street, west
$50 feet from Summit avenue, and Mel
vile place, from East Bradley lane to
Raymond street.
The lone improvements favored were
those proposed for Summit avenue, from
Taylor street to the terminus of the
avenue.
Lacy Shaw, president of the board of
county commissioners, explained the
proposed improvements, which, he said,
would cost $2l $50, or $3.50 per front
foot
Advocates Of the improvements argued
| that the unirnproved streets were un-
slightly and inconvenient, pointing out
that labor and material prices were
now such that the work could be done
economically and at the same time help
the unemployment situation.
Opponents of the plan claimed many
property owners were still paying for

tional assessments would prove burden
some.
