Sir Walter Hotel
RALEIGH, Dec. l1-While the
Civil Works Administration in
the state has approved projects
to date calling for the employ
ment of at least $4,000 unem-
ployed men out of the quota OF
$4,000 which it expects to have
allotted to projects by December
Is, with a payroll climbing close
to S1,000,000 a week, it seems
to be suffering somewhat from
growing pains. For as the num-
Der of projects and number plac-
ed in employment has continued
to increase from day to day. re-
ports of irregularities and minor
abuses have also increased.
But this does not mean that
the CWA infant, now scarcely
four weeks old, is suffering from
either the collie or ear ache,
those who have been watching
it's development here maintain.
Instead, these minor disturbances
are being attributed more to the
rapid growth of the infant than
anything else and partly due
perhaps to in insuffiency of cod
liver oil or of Al Smiths "sOur
grapefruit juice" For consider
ing the fact that this infant or
ganization has already provided
employment for fully $4,000 UNI
employed persons here in North
Carolina alone and gives every
indication of attaining its OBJ
jective of 100000 unemployed
back at work by Christmas in
the country as a whole, it is not
surprising that there should be
some who have tried OR are try
ing to evade some of the rules
and regulations, it is pointed out.
The two principal complaints
being made against the Civil
Works Administration here in
the state are: First. that politics
is beginning to enter into it with
those who have friends or rela-
tives with political influences
getting jobs. while those who do
not have this influence do not
get them. Second, that some
of those in administrative capa-
cities are using their authority to
provide jobs for all their fami-
lies and relatives. But a study
of the rules and regulations gov
erning the operation of the Civil
Works Administration will con-
vince even the most skeptical
that it is almost impossible for
political influences to have any
bearing on the placement of
needy and unemployed on Civil
Works projects. For as has al

NRA Boosts Buying Power
OF Favored Masses In
All Sections
INCREASES RANGING
FROM 10 PCT. UPWARD

Copyright. 1888, United PresD
Christmas buying this season,
the first under NRA. has shown
an increasing ranging upward
from 10 per cent in the country's
major cities, a United Press sur
vey revealed today. This in
crease was in both volume and
total dollar value of sales.
Cities reported crowded de"
partment stores. Observers re-
ported a greater number of wage
earners and low salaried workers
in the crowds than last year.
This was interpreted as indicat-
ing an Improvement in purchas-
ing power for the masses favor
ed by NRA.
The lateness of Thanksgiving
, this year and the fact that the
day preceding Christmas is
Sunday shortened the shopping
season. But from the first
weeks indications m er h pts
were optimistic of exceeding last
years volume and dollar business
for the season.
All the cities polled in the sur
vey expect to provide Christmas
funds as usual-some through
community funds, some through
newspaper "good fellow" drives,
others through the Salvatit N
Army and Volunteers of Anne r.
lea. and through churches. dgies
and civic organizations. So fl r,
contributions are about the sa me
as last year. Il
probably will average about the
same as last year in the amot uni
of funds distributed.
Only one city, st. Paul. reporN
ed a drop both in dollar and sales
volume under the. Christmas
shopping of one year ago.
In Denver, three leading de-
partment stores reported bust,
ness increases Of rs and 10 and
% percent. :.
At New York, three leading
stores reported sales increase
from last year in both volume
and dollar total. Repeal credit
ed by some for helping business
| in general and Christmas buying
particularly.
,, In Atlanta, large department
stores report shopping a "whole
lot better" Gain has been no
ticed for three weeks. Saliva

appeals much better this year,

WICHITA, Kans.. Dec. IL
(UP).-A Kansas lynch mob raced
into Oklahoma last night deter
mined to wrest Jack Wisdom, a
farm hand. from the hands of o.
ficers he had directed in search
for the body of one of three per-
sons whom he was suspected OF
Shaving.
The threat of mob violence,
manifesting itself for the sixth
time in the nation within a month,
was inspired by a series of crimes
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Pritchard, Wichita couple. and
Emory Large, a farm hand, were
the latest victims.
Wisdom led a posse to a place
near Kingfisher. Okla, where he
confessed, officers said. to hiding
Pritchard's body. Earlier in the
day, a hunter found Mrs. Pritch
ards body under a culvert north
of Kingfsher while detectives
with the suspect in their custody
sped to the gruesome cache.

search, the hunt for the second
body proved successful last night

Eve was anxious not to give
Dick any cause to resent her
work. She suspected that secret
ly lie cherished an ideal Of a
housekeeping wife who would be
watching for him at the window
when he came each evening.
Dicks work kept him outdoors
much of the time and he always
arrived with a healthy appetite.
Eve seldom was ready for dinner
before seven. This evening it was
nearly eight, but Dick did not
complain.
Saturday night came and the
hotel held its weekly dinner
dance. Eve wore the gown of
pale gold lace that she had worn
on her visit to the night club In
New York with Theron Reece.
AS she turned from the mirror
she called to Dick: "Im so happy,
uear! l think this is the most
adorable place to live. And /
love dressing for dinner"
at would be nice il we could
stay on here" Dick agreed. But
| suppose since tomorrow Is Sum
day we can drive around and try
to locate a place to settle in"
COMETHING froze in Eve. She
~ asked, ever so quietly, what
Dicks plans were.
"Well have to find a place
within my income" he told her.
"But we have two incomes!"
"We're not counting on any
thing you may earn" Dick an
nounced with finality. "Your
money is yours to do with as you
please. If l were you I'd bank
that money. You may do as you
like, however. I'll never ques-
ton you about 1t. But l am 60
ing to support our homes on my

to cause complications"
"I'm thinking Of my position"
she said. "We'll announce it
later" With this Dick had to be
content.
ZACH morning lie drove to 1.-THE
IL Job" before 1880. Eve, In
her smart black business clothes,
boarded an eight o'clock trolley.
She never glanced at the morn
ing Times until she reached the
older district Of the city where
the streets were lined with stores
and office buildings. Instead She
looked at the beautiful homes
along the boulevard over which
she rode. Eve wondered about
the people who lived in those
houses and was sure she could
never be contented until she had
such q home. The apartment at
the hotel would do, however, she
told herself, until she and Dick
could afford a home like one of
those.
Her promotion at the Office had
not brought with it the satisfac-
ton Eve had expected. She had
not realized how much Alice Mar
shall had smoothed her way and
made things easy for her.
Eve was particularly annoyed
by Barnes habitual hardness in
deciding how much space was to
be devoted to each advertisement.
This delay often made it neces-
sary for her to prepare her copy
at a speed making careful work
impossible. Inevitably tn G + e
came day when she was obliged
to remain an hour over time.
True, Barnes and Arlene were
also detained, but that did not
lessen Ewes resentment. She
knew that if Barnes had been
prompt the work easily could
have been completed by $50, the
stores closing hour.

scended to the dining room. She
had been enjoying the luxury OF
the past week and saw no reason
why she and Dick should not
combine their incomes and con-
tinue this mode of living which,
she felt, would leave them free
from the petty cares Of the aver.

agreed. but tb&t doesn't neces-
sarily apply to finances the way
you mean. I should say It Is Inn
portant for each always to meet
the other half way. What I mean
is, turn for turn and fair play"
Eve recalled Dicks noncom-
initial, "M-m," each time she had
thought she had scored a victory.
She took her cue and said,
Lets have a marriage free from
Quarrels, too, Dick. Each Of W

with emphasis.
Eve was determined to enjoy

take care OF itself. No need to
hurry in locating another apart
ment. She would meet that I'M

rived.
So she smiled brightly and
said, "In the meantime on with
the dance" e..
THEY danced between courses.
= 1t was not until after they had
finished dinner that Eve saw
Theron Reece.
He had Just entered the dining
room with vivacious looking
girl. The couple lost no time In
getting on the dance floor. Recess
glance swept the restaurant and he
saw Eve at once. She looked away
but the crowd was not large and
before the dance was concluded she
was forced to return Recess nod OF
recognition. Evidently he was
determined to continue their ac-
quaintance. A shadow OF appre-
hension clouded Ewes sky. She
hoped Reece had not noticed her
wedding ring. 20
Lets go now, Dick" she said
when they returned to their table.
He agreed without asking any.
questions.
But Reece was not to be dis.
posed of so readily. He ap-
preached, bowling, and said,
Good evening, Miss Bayless."
Eve felt a sudden panic but
managed to Introduce the men
without disclosing the fact that
Dick was her husband. Before
Reece could begin conversation
she arose for another dance with

After all, she reasoned, It was
