Presented Watch

Applause. Applause. Applause.
The man sat down with a
modest bow among the Off
GERS of the Welfare Society of
Newtown. Then Mr.. Ellington
Julius Tropp, president of the
society, arose. He Smoothed
out his coat tails as he car
ried a small package to the
old man.
'Mr. JONES'" he said loudly,
I'VE reflect your happiness.
We want you to realize that,
in the four years since you
have come from behind those
high walls and bars, you have
established yourself as a right
eous citizen.
"Mr. Jones, you have been
law abiding and a leader in
our group. You have exceeded
our fondest expectations. And
thus we bestow this gift, this
rare watch, as a token Of our
esteem, to you, a man among
men"
Applause. Applause. Ap-
plause.
The fading blue eyes dimmed.
The hand shook as it held the
red plush case. The watch
glittered in the light of the au-
ditorium. 1t was indeed a rare
watch. For a man among men.
Jones tried to speak. Only a
hoarse whisper could be heard.
Finally, he could speak no
more. The applause was deaf
ening.
Jones carried that watch home
as a mother would carry her
first born. He placed it in a
bureau drawer and looked at it
lovingly. Then he closed the
plush case and locked the
drawer.
The world, he felt, was very
kind. Very kind.
Jones wouldn't think of wear
ing that watch. 1t was too
precious for wear. 1t was too

OF Hldu dulOIlS HlSll.
Hell ps His Cronies
Jones became obsessed with
reform after that. He thought
of the countless men in prison.
Couldn't those men be honest
and law abiding? Of course.
So Jones visited the State
prison.
I'm afraid he didn't find
much cooperation there. His
old cronies behind bars were
inclined to laugh at him.
They called him an old fool.
A sap. A good guy gone wrong.
They accused him of losing his
old courage. But that didn't
stop Jones. He remembered
back to the time when he hated
reformers himself. He called
them "buttinskis" then. Now
it was different.
So old Jones kept up the
good work. Once in awhile,
he'd find a crook who would
listen to reason. Then he
would smile with pride as the
man returned to the world with
honesty in his eyes.
But in trying to help others,
Jones was neglecting himself.
He had a small job as book
keeper in Newton. And, in
making so many trips to the
State prison, he was absent
from work too much.
So the old man walked into
the office one day to find an
envelope on his desk. 1t con-
tained weeks salary and a
notice that he was no longer
needed.
The old man never batted an
eye. He determined that he
wouldn't annoy the Welfare
League with his troubles, so he
went out and looked for a Job
himself.
1t wasn't easy. Most of the
places he visited told him that
he was too old. The others
said that there were no vacan-
cieS.
Within a short time Jones
was down to his last nickel.
He suddenly discovered that
there was a depression on; that
business men were firing, not
hiring. And what few Jobs
there were were. quickly filled
by younger men.
Finally, there was but one
course open to the old man.
He must call on his friends.
The Welfare League of New
town. So, dressed in his best
clothes, he went to the people
who had made an honest man
OF him. He explained his case.
He said that he didn't like the
idea of asking them for help
again. But he had no money.
No food. No job.
Asks For Hell p
They all smiled sadly and
shook their heads. They would
love to help, of course, but he
knew how conditions were. De.
preston. Salary cuts. Cut
throat business competitions
Oh, there were a thousand and
one reasons why they couldn't
help old man Jones.
So, somewhat sadly, Jones
went home. He was tired and
ne was hungry. He must raise
money some way. A man must
eat. So he thought of the
watch. He could raise a little
on that, and get it back when
conditions improved. No. He
wouldn't do that. He couldn't
After all, that was a. rare
watch, and he was a man
among men.
After two days, he changed
his mind. His stomach was tor
turing him with pain. He had
to eat. He couldn't starve to
death. So, with loving hands,
ne unlocked the drawer and
lifted the red plush case from
its hiding place.
The fading blue eyes had
Tears IN them when he snapped
the case open. But those ewes
almost popped from his head
when he looked at the watch:
the watch that had come from
honest people to an honest
man.

BOrah of Idaho, who has been dubbed
the lone wolf" of the Senate remains
in Washington. Borah plays an inter-
esting role. Frequently his power is
attributed to his craftsmanship of the
important Committee on Foreign Re-
lations, but probably the biggest ele-
ment in it is uncertainty. Senator
BOrah has been holding regular press
conferences after the manner of the
White House occupant, save that they
have been little more often, but just
what part he will play in the coming
national campaign is intriguing the
interest of the public.
Two important posts in Washington
became vacant when General Dawes
resigned as president of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation and
General Saltzman as chairman of the
Federal Radio Commission. The name
of practically every prominent man
in the country has been mentioned
for these berths. The greatest in
terest is centered on the successor to
General Dawes. The latest rumor is
that the presidency of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation has been Of
fered to Alfred E. Smith. If this is
true it would be inevitably interpreted
as bid for the good will of the Smith
supporters who have not yet come
over to the Roosevelt camp because
anything an incumbent President
running for reelection does in mid
campaign is construed as political
eXpediency. The new chairman of
the Federal Radio Commission will
head much larger organization than
his predecessor because the radio
division of the Department of Com
merce has recently been transferred
to that bureau. This action is in
keeping with the plan which has been
advocated for a number of years to
consolidate government bureaus to
prevent duplication of activities.
