that she was actually leaving Riverton.
ONLY one party was left in the OBJ

Joyce changed her clothes, pulling Of

the white crepe de chine she had made
With such high hopes for Norman's

From the depths of the spotted glass
her own image looked back-a slim
ghost with smoldering eyes. Fright

heart. She was going to take old Roger
Cameron's advice She was going to
break out of the web.
Ezra came upstairs Listening in
tectly, Joyce could hear the two dull
thun,ps which told of the removal of
his shoes. She waited long minutes
after the house grew still, sitting tense
on the edge of the lumpy bed, hands
pressed tightly together.

The big wall clock in the dining room
seemed to tick in loud astonishment ss
girls slender figure tiptoed around
the bend in the stairs.
With breathless pauses to listen,
Joyce put down the suitcase and made
her way 10 the cash register. Teeth
digging into her lip, she counted out
some paper money.
Not quite $50.
AS she jammed it into her shabby

Down past the rows of small tables,
their oilcloth tops cleaning in the re-

The President said:
The program for united
action discussed by President
with Senators Robinson and
Watson is as follows:
THE policy steadfastly ad-
hered to up to the present time
has been that responsibility for
relief to distress belongs to
private organizations, local COM
munities, anr the States. That
fundamental policy is not to
be changed. But since the
fear has arisen that existing
relief measures and resources
may prove inadequate in GER
tain localities and to insure
against any possible breakdown
in those localities it is proposed
that authority be granted to
the Reconstruction Finance Cor

TARIFF ACT IS CALLED
DAMAGING TO AMERICA
Conservative Business Organ Voices
Disapproval of Measure.
Indicates Insanity Defense

By ScriDDs- II oiodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April 15.-One of
the most conservative business Or
gans of the country, "Barron's Ma
tional Financial Weekly" leads its
current issue with an article which
reviews effects of the Smoot- Hawley
tariff and concludes that this act
+'has led to very serious conse-
quenceS.
The article is written by Gerhard
Hirschfeld.
He calls attention to the fact that
retaliatory tariffs had been adopted
in many parts of the world before
1880, but adds: Regardless of the
many protective tariff measures en-
acted before June, 1880. all over the
world, there was one element miss
ing; The American tendency
in tariff lgislation.
This was to become different
after the Hawley-Smoot bill was
signed by President Hoover. During
1880, not less than forty-five states
all over the world established or
increased protective duties on inn
ported American exports.
