ened their list of demands by request
ing that a Federal workmen's compen-
sation law, preferably along the lines
of one now IN effect in Arizona, be en-
acted, and that the Federal employers
liability act be strengthened.
A. F. Whitney, chairman of the
Railway Labor Executives Association
was named to head a committee of five

nOROTHY' S summer home faced
~ the water on the south side OF
Long island The estate formerly had
? belonged to a family prominent in
New York society.
When they removed to the more
exclusive north shore, Dorothy had
bought the place.
The house stood about a mile
back from the road 1t was sur
rounded by trees that concealed sta
bles for riding horses and kennels
housing several aristocratic fox
terriers.
1t would have been a lonely spot
for a girl of 81 had she remained
there alone, but Dorothy did not.
She employed a companion and
chaperon whose name was Mrs. At
wood.
Scarcely a weekend passed at
TrevOrWoOd as Dorothy called the
place, without a number of guests.
-Dorothy's parties were always pop
ular
Though the sea was so close at
hand, a swimming pool had been
built at the rear of the house.
Across the glade smooth meadows
had been converted into a golf
course.
There were carefully Handicapped
gardens. A little brook ambled
through the estate and on its sur
face placid swans glided lazily. A
barn had been transformed into a
recreation house with pool and bill
lard tables, a card room, and GYM
nasium.
There was everything at Trevor
wood to provide a delightful holi-
day.
Sheila arrived late Friday after
noon, making the trip in Dorothy'S
huge town car. The butler met
her at the door.
Miss Dorothy, he said, was in the
swimming pool where the other
guests were. Sheila was to join
them there.
A maid led the way to Sheila S
room, a spacious apartment over
looking the shore and the ocean
beyond The maid busted herself
with Sheilas luggage, opening it
and hanging away the gowns.
She helped Sheila into the bath
ing suit of delicate green jersey that
Dorothy had had laid out for her
There was a snug little black cap
and cunning green and black BATH
ing slippers to go with the suit.
When Sheila was ready the maid
showed her the way to the pool.
Half dozen brightly CARRIED wa
ter sprites lolleG about the rim of
the pool or flashed from the diving
board high over the clear blue
green water.
Dorothy rose from chair at the
farther end of the pool and came
toward Sheila, waving gayly.
"Darling!" she cried. I would
have come myself if I hadn't had
to stay at the last minute. How
are you? Not tired, I hope, after
the driver"
THERE were introductions to
i the other guests as they
emerged, dripping, from the pool
There were Mary Charlton, Cecilia
Hoyt. Peggy Raymond and others
whose names Sheila did not re-

A FTERWARD, when Sheila was
IN in her own room, she still
could hear Dicks voice as he spoke
those words, II love you. You've
got to marry mel"
She had not answered. Dorothy'S
gay crowd of guests suddenly hac
descended upon them, interrupting
the conversation. There had not
been another opportunity for her tc
speak to Dick alone. Now it was
time to dress for dinner.

Prison Irvine, Machinery
to Be Cheaper This Year
Output VIII Be Priced 90 Per Cent
Under 1932-to Cost State
100000

Farmers will receive farm ma
chinery and parts and binder Irvine
purchased at the Minnesota state
prison 20 per cent below last years
prices, with the prison due to stand
a 100000 estimated loss in net OPP
Grating receipts, c. ]. Swendsen,
chairman of the state board of con-
troll, has announced.
Under a new price list for prison
made machinery, parts and Irvine,
the reduction and averages more
than one cent a pound for binder
Irvine.
Standard and sisal Irvine under
the new schedule sells for 5 cents
a pound instead of cents; stand
ard and MANILA Irvine for 5h cents
a pound as compared with 6 81
cents, 600 foot manila for cents
instead of lilo and $50 foot ma
nilla for cents instead of 8 cents.
All carload lots are purchased Y
cent a pound cheaper.
The reductions were made in con-
formity with an act of the 1893 state
legislature, which took similar ac-
ton two years ago. -.
During 1882, the state prison, as
a result Of the reductions ordered
by the 1881 legislature, showed a
net operating loss of S175,502 on the
books, although not actually.
Not one cent will come out of the
taxpayers pockets as the loss will
come out of the state prison revolv.
ing fund of nearly 100000.
On the books the 1892 loss is com.
puted at $175,502, but this is after
the manufacturing industry at the
prison actually marked off 100000
which was paid to the prison fol
the labor of the inmates and an adj
ditional $10700 to the accounts OF
the inmates for their actual wages
Mr.. Swendsen pointed out, which
would give the prison a profit.
Prisoners receive from % cents
to $1.O0 day fo their work.
