PARK WORKERS
IN QUANDARY

Demoralized over uncertainty
as to their fate under President
Roosevelt's reorganization plan
more than 5000 employees of the
Office Of Public Buildings and
Parks today are in a quandary.
Already a half dozen engineers,
secretaries, and clerks have gone
over to the embryonic Public
works Administration, while
others are seeking opportunities
to transfer to other newly created
organizations.
Among those busy at the new
public works office is Capt. E. E.
Haring, assistant director to Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant. His aid has
been sought, it is understood, in
setting UP the administrative sec
ton and while orders of transfer
have not yet been issued by the
War Department, Colonel Grant
has arranged for Major D. H.
Gillette, engineering assistant di-
rector Of the parks office, to
handle Haring's duties at the
Navy Building.

HITLER APPEALS
To PEOPLE Of
AUSTRIA

BERLIN, June IS QNS)-
Going over the head of the
Austrian government, the Hitler
regime addressed an appeal to
the Austrian people today in
connection with the crisis result
ing from the arrest Of Teo
Babicht, Nazi press representative
IN Vienna.
Germany's spokesman was DR..
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of
propaganda. He described the
arrest of Babicht and the retalia-
tory deportation of DR.. Alvin Was
serbaeck, Austrian press attache
here, and declared that Germany
''harbors deepest sympathy for the
Austrian people"
The arrest of Babicht, however,
Goebbels charged, was in direct
viola tion of extraterritoriality
rights and necessitated the i'm
mediate expulsion of Wasserbaeck
in reprisal.

dented public support accorded

elements, today again postponed
his departure to Vienna.
He will leave tomorrow in a
private airplane, he announced.

leave after his speech before the
World Economic Conference yes

DR.. Alvin WaSserbaeck, Austrian
press attache, who has been ex-
PEELED from Berlin, arrives in
London.
Fearing a possible German
NaZi invasion of Austria, where
q Nazi movement is afoot for
union with the Hitlerized Reich,
Dollfuss said he had ordered Aus
trian afternoon papers to appear
today.
:, It will be the first time in his
tory that afternoon papers have
appeared in Austria on a sacred
holiday, this being Corpus Christi
day, which is widely celebrated
In that country. Dollfuss declared
he sent out the unprecedented
order so that the public would be
kept informed and remain vigi-
liant.

CUTTING DOWN
on CIGARETTES?

Going easy on the cigarettes because of
nasty morning-mouth? More power to
you. But if you'd like to smoke all you
want, with no ill effects, make it your
business to keep heat at minimum. For
cool smoke, pull lightly when you light
up and don't smoke too far down. To be
sure of cool smoke, smoke Spud, the
menthol-cooled cigarette. It's 1870 cooler.

the Captain often went with him if the
destination was not too high or the
ride too long. Tenny would come If
Cynthia would; but Cynthia wouldn't.
She pleaded fatigue from her long
week, or accounts to be gone over So
it was with a sense of real triumph
that Geoff prevailed upon her one Oc-
tober morning to drive with them all
to Red Rock lake.
"We'll pack basket" Cynthia said,
entering into the plan with an en-
thusiasm which astounded it's pro-
moter "There's Acknowledgements

thermos basket so it will stay hot.

Tenny capered about the room with
Joy and Miss Mona beamed at her
daughter.
Like to driver Geoff asked Gym
thia as they went down the steps to-
gether.
To his surprise she took the seat
behind the wheel and presently they
were bowling smoothly along.
Cynthia drove steadily, surely. Every
foot of the way seemed to be familiar
to her and she looked younger and
happier than Geoff had ever seen her.
She had discarded her hat, and the
tendrils of hair curled about her fore
head endearingly. Geoff marveled at
the change in her. She was gay, youth
full, charming. She had dropped her
WEAKNESS, her hint Of hostility toward
him, her air of worry, like cloak.
Geoff was suddenly in wild spirits.
It seemed to him that never was there
so congenial party as his.
What a dinner that was! Mar
guerite's fried chicken was crisp and
hot; her buttered rolls melted in their
mouths
"Why do we have to go DOWN."
Tenny asked wistfully. "Why don't
we just send Cary and Geoff back for
some blankets and things and stay
up here all the timer

Something else has thawed out for

dear sister,
Don't you like Geoff, Cynthia 2"
Tenny wanted to know.
She laughed, flushed little. II like
everybody today! Oh, you can't think
what it's like to exchange the stale
air in the shop for the piny breezes
up here! I'm like Tenny-I want to
stay for ever!'
After dinner Geoff and Cynthia, with
Tenny darting ahead of them, complet-
ed the circuit of the lake. Geoff re-
membered that walk for long time.

Cynthia smiled. Miss Nona's strong
point is petting. You come in for a
good share of it."
"And, like Tenny, thrive on it," he
replied somewhat aggressively. "As
I've told you, my parents were abroad
during most of my childhood and 1
know what Tenny went through at
boarding school,"
1T must have been hard for your
mother" Cynthia commented, "being
pulled between her duty to you and
to her husband. II know this will
add to your belief in my hardness!-
I'm glad she was the sort Of woman
who put her husband first! There's
something so magnificent about that
sort Of love-" she said wistfully. "Some-
thing SO royal in marriage which al
lows nothing-not even children-to
disturb it,"
Geoff was silent through sheer as
tonishment. Cynthia's words gave him
too a new vision Of his mother. For
the first time he was able to think Of
her as wife as well as a somewhat
casual mother.
It was nearly sunset before they
turned the car downward and began
the long descent from mountain heights
to the city below. Geoff had feeling
Of extraordinary satisfaction over the
day. Cynthia's mind to him hereto
fore had been like long corridor in
which door after door stood, all closed.
Today she had opened several Of them
and given him fascinating peeps at
the rooms within.

Cynthia walked shoulder to shoulder
with him, sometimes stopping to point
out snowy peak that rose above the
rest of the chain, sometimes stirring
the pine-needles in the path to reveal a
mat of kinnikinic.
Somehow they strayed on to the
subject of Tenny, and Cynthia talked
to him freely about the child.
"She was delicate little thing when
she first came to us. Even now we
have to watch her carefully"
"She seems sound as a dollar now"
he answered.
"Oh, she is, Except that she mustn't

asked with Il touch of irony.

"Geoff, perhaps I'm not quite as hard

Tenny has to be handled very care

"She needed your mothers petting,"
he said.

CHAPTER v
Tenny.

Tenny.
All the doors were slammed shut
again in the days which followed.
Sometimes Geoff wondered If that day
at Red Rock lake with a companion
able Cynthia, a slightly wistful Gym
thia, had ever existed save in his
Imagination.
The girl not only resumed her old
reserve but became so irritable and
impatient that the little buds Of friend
ship which had sprouted between them
withered and died. Definitely he did
not like this girl, he told himself. He
wondered sometimes If it was his
presence in her home which so an
noyed her; for that she was annoyed
beyond her usual manner was evident
to him from her family's comments.
"What does all Cynthia I" Miss Mona
sighed. "She's so unlike herself these
days."
Isis, for the love of Mike" 1t was
Cary's exasperated voice. "You
haven't spoken pleasant word for
days-do you realize it? Come on now,
Cynthia! You say the shop is doing
we'll"
"Cary!" Cynthia's voice cut in so
sharply that Geoff started. "Who is
that fair-haired girl you're driving
about these days?"
Her brother laughed. "That's where
the shoe pinches. isn't it, Cynthia-to
change the metaphor"
"Of course it pinches. 1t ought to
pinch you, too. Do you think that it's
fair-as things are?"
For once there was resentment in
Cary's pleasant young voice. "My dear
Miss Atlas, didn't you ever hear that
no one is actually indispensable in this
world? If you were to go to Europe
tomorrow"
"Or die" she amended. "Never mind
me, Cary. I'm cross as two sticks
these days."
isis, are you sure you're well?
Seems to me you never used to be so
snappy, so-er-bitter. Don't you love
your big brother-one-bit?" The
pauses were filled by his hand on her
hair, rumpllng it out of Its usual
smoothness. She was laughing when
she escaped.
But the irritability persisted.
"Cynthia, my DEAR" the Captain said
gravely one evening, II really must
protest against your overworking as
you are doing. Is it necessary for you
to remain so long at the shop every
night?"
Cynthia made no reply beyond a
weary smile at him. It was Tenny as
usual who struck straight from the
shoulder. "She's let Elsie 60. She
has to stay till closing time every
night"
you've let Elsie go?" Miss Nona's
voice, rose protestingly. "Darling,
why did you?"
"Just giving her a vacation" was
the evasive answer. "She's coming
back when business picks up again.
Elsie was tired. She needed a rest"
To Geoff's amazement no one sug-
ScSlCu lAidt W AOIoCll was Oduly
in need of rest, no one said, as Geoff
thought they ought to say, that it
would be good idea for Cynthia to
sell the shop. He began to watch her,
to notice how little she ate, what an
effort it seemed to be for her to go
upstairs; and one evening he tackled
her again on the subject of the shop.
She was alone in the big library
across the hall. 1t was the sight of
the dark circles beneath the blue eyes
which spurred him on to speech.
'Look here, Cynthia! Why don't
you sell that internal shop of yours
and take vacation yourself? You
look like the wrath of God these
days. I don't understand what your
family is thinking of, not to realize
you're half sicki If L" He stopped

But in the rear of the shop was some
thing that interested him: two comfort
able chairs were pulled up to a long
table on which lay various magazines.
A low bookcase overf1owed with vol
nmes whose titles brought look of sur
prise to Geoff. There was late fiction
that was to be expected; but there
was also modest collection Of tech
nical books, several Of which Geoff had
sought for in vain in the book shop.
Toward one Of these he stretched out
his hand eagerly.
Fifteen minutes later some one
spoke to him. From the fact that she
wore no hat and seemed to be en-

was the "dish-faced" Elsie Dunsmore.
How do you do?" she said pleasant
ly. II think you're a stranger to the
Odds and Ends. hope you've found
something that interests you'll" s.
II have indeed!p He held up the
book. MAY 1 ask how you happen
to have book like this in your stock?"
Miss Aylesbury chose it. You see,
that's why we have these chairs, this
case of books: so that shoppers like
yourself may drop in for few min
utes to read and rest. Miss Aylesbury
tries to cater to all tastes. You'll see
there are books on architecture, on
gardening, on mining, on child well
fare"
Geoff nodded. His thoughts were
busy with certain morning when he
had told at the breakfast table of his
unavailing search for this particular
book. Why had Cynthia not mentioned
she had it in the shop? Was it be-
cause she resented his disapproval of
her business? Or had she-Geoff
would have liked to believe this but
somehow he couldn't-had she known
where to buy it and done so because
he had spoken of 1t?
Ruefully he admitted that Cynthia
was rapidly divesting him of that com.
placency which was the result of his
popularity at home. The little stabs
she administered to his self-esteem
were all the more effsstive because
they were not premeditated. Either
Cynthia had owned the book and dis
dained to mention it. or she had
bought it because she thought it might
interest other men-and -disdained to
mention It'll Both explanations, afford
ed little satisfaction to the tall young
man who stood gripping the volume
and staring vacantly at Cynthia's
clerk.
He came out of his trance presently,
restored the book to its place and went
forward resignedly to justify his pres
ence by purchase. Elsie was busy,
he was glad to see; too busy to wait
on him. That spoke well for the bust
ness of the shop.
"Are you always as busy as this?
he asked when she was free to attend
to him. She shook her head. Its the
final squirt of the tourist season. Peo-
