told Mary Faith that DR..
Thatcher had invited her to
60 to the theater with him that
night"
"And afterward we're going
to the Hofbrau for supper" she
said. II don't know what I'm
going to wear. I haven't a
thing"
Her Decision
She spent half the day poking
among her bandboxes aand
trunks. At / o'clock on the day
before New Years she decided
to go downtown and get a new
dress with thu. money that Kim
and Aunt Ella had given to her
for Christmas. She did not re-
turn until 8 o'clock, and she
found Mary Faith waiting for
her in the sitting room, HATED
and cIoaked for the street.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're
here!" Mary Faith greeted her.
"The market closes at half
past six, and I want to go
down and pick out my chickens
for tomorrow'S dinner. I'll be
right back. Go ahead and get
dressed. When Kim comes, tell
him we aren't going to the
party. He'll be glad to hear it,
I imagine. He wasn't particu-
larly enthusiastic about go
ing
She hurried out into the
street. There had been a high
wind and a snowstorm that
afternoon. but now everything
was clear and bright. It would
be pleasant to stay at home
with Kim-far pleasanter than
spending the evening in the
chaos Of the Maldon flat.
II want two nice, tender
hens" she told Joe, the smiling,
red faced butcher.
Three dollars and eighty
cents" said Joe, after weighing
the hens. How did you like
that goose liver sausage yester-
day?"
Yesterday? Why, yesterday
she hadn't even been in the
meat market. Kim had tele-
phoned early in the afternoon
that he would not be home for
dinner, and she and Mrs. Far
rell had had pickup supper.
II wondered if you wanted to
pay for it now," Joe was saying.
'Mr. Farrell forgot to-" He
slammed open the metal drawer
Of his cash register and laid a
slip Of paper before her. On it
was written in blue pencil:
Farrell. Two pounds goose
liver SauSage-$1. 30"
She knew that there was no
mistake. But why had Kim
bought two pounds Of goose
liver sausage? 7.

there. She could hear him sing
ing as she entered the flat. The
bath room door stood open, and
from the hall she watched him
for a moment as he stood before
the mirror, shaving.
GOOse-Liver Sausage
Kim" she said, "did you buy
two pounds Of goose-liver sau-
sage at Joe'S yesterday"
II did. What of it?"
Nothing, I suppose. But I
had to pay for it just now, and,
Kim, two pounds Of goose-liver

Again, the Date-Breaker

ASaAuO INC DdGc-DLcaACE
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We are both in Junior high
school. Last october I asked
him to a party given by our
club. I gave him plenty of time
in which to give me his answer.
Well. he told me that he would
call for me at my home. but he
didn't show up, SO I didn't goto
his party the next evening.
Then he got angry, and we
didn't speak to each other for
about a month.
Now we girls are going to give
another party, and I don't know
whether I should invite him or
not. I know loads of other boys
but I can't take them because
they are a lot too old for me.
I know I would be making a fool
of myself. His excuse for not
coming to my party was that he
was sick in bed and didn't have
my phone number. Should I &C.
cept this as his excuse?
One of the girls in my room
told me he invited her to the
same party to which he invited
me, but she refused.
I asked him later and he de-
MED it. Whom should I believe?
Is this girl jealous?
GERTRUDE.
Well, my dear, when a young
man accepts an invitation to
a party and doesn't show up,
then says he was sick in bed
and didn't know her phone
number, it's safe to say he
will never write good fiction
owing to a lack of imagination.
Being a high school student,
he could have looked up your
name in the telephone book. Or
if it wasn't listed, he could have
got busy and asked some Of
your friends for it, couldn't he?
Sometimes it is well to have
a heart. I once told a girl to
be Spunky and turn down a
boy who had broken a date;
then I got a wall from the boy.
It seemed that when he was
ready to sally forth to the
party his father had thundered:
boy, stay home and wash the
dishes!" Sometimes they have to
do that, and other domestic
chores.

Also Linked With

NEW YORK.-Leading Of
fcials of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers and the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Unions, in endorsing the Republican
Fusion candidate for Mayor of New
York at Cooper Union Wednesday
night, again demonstrated their close
tie with all capitalist parties.
The officialdom of these two A..
F. OF L. unions are closely linked
with Tammany, even while support
ing the Fusion-Republican candidate,
Fiorello LaGuardia. This working
together with the Democratic Party
is seen in the support Of Governor
Lehman in his 1872 campaign and in
the agreements consummated in re-
cent months for selling out the strikes
of their members to the manufac-
turers. This latter was engineered
together with the Tammanyite Gro
yer Whalen and the MIRA. A num-
Der of these officials are also members
OF the Socialist Party.
Speakers at Cooper Union included
Hyman Blumberg, vice-president of
the Amalgamated and right hand

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2. -
Representative Dies of Texas, the
proponent of the bill to exclude and
expel foreign born Communists, to-

bill to include Nazis. He states, how
ever, that the committee on immi-

the Texan was asked.
My definition of Fascism and
Communism is that they both have
one underlying principle in common,
namely, State collectivism, as opposed
to the American principle of in
dividualisn.
I'm all these countries, such as Italy
and Germany, the State is supreme

The pictures show that, In Janu-

Working on their synpathies for
the Scottsboro boys, and covering up

suit of the more than two years

the Communist Party, was accom-

Scottsboro defense fight.
Brodskys comment followed the
publication in the Amsterdam News"
of a paid advertisement inserted by
the Mckee forces, in which there
appeared an appeal by Leibowitz to
support Mckee for Mayor.
''The fact remains that Mckee as
well as all of the other candidates
in the election campaign, outside of
the Communist candidate, have never
raised their voice on behalf of the
Scottsboro victims.
after all, Leibowitz would have
shown much more accuteness and

that he had learned by his experience

Brodsky said:
'Leibowits would have proven HIM

called upon Mckee to state his
opinion on the question of segrega-

FRANCE OFF
GOLD BASIS
France and Britain To
Retaliate; Roosevelt
initiation Grows

WASHINGTON, Nov. g.
The Roosevelt government to-
day took more aggressive
steps to drive the dollar down by
ordering the first purchases of gold
in the French money markets.
Though the initial amount
purchased was small, it cannot be
hidden even by the most reac-
tionary press that this step of
Roosevelt is aimed at driving
France of the gold standard.
Meanwhile, the currency war be-
tween Britain and the United States
is gaining in intensity. AS Roose-
welt raised the u. S. gold bid again
to $32.36, London replied by jack
ing up its bid SO cents to SILL.
It is no secret, even in official
quarters, that it is the failure of
the recent infationary measures
to achieve any kind of sustained
improvement in prices or pro-
duction, and the desperate situa-
ton in the winter prospects of
American industry, that is driy-
