She could hardly breathe. She
managed:
"Wait a minute, David"

He didn't finish the sentence,
but he looked so crushed Chickie
could have died.
"I'll speak to her." she said,
"you wait a moment"
Pippin was seated in a chair,
gripping it hard as though she
expected to be pulled out.
Chickie closed the door softly
behind her and confronted the
girl.
with storming eyes, Pippin
launched the attack.
"I'm not going with him,
mother, and he can't make me
go! I'm simply not going"
Chickie went over, standing
very close to Pippin. With
eyes full Of tears, she said
softly:
"Pippin, I've never in my
life asked you to do a thing
for love. I've never worked on
your emotions, but I'm going
to now. I am asking you as a
favor to me, will you go with
your father?"
The girl turned her head
away. Stealthily she raised
her hands and pressed hard
slim fingers about her face.

though she didn't move or
make q sound. With o sud.

 Real Life

Betty's fall seemed to awaken them both to the fact that there was an earth, and they had been bounced back to 1t. Their outlook on life began to clarify. They dis~ continued their open house policy and far between. Betty's shoulder blade mended slowly and she had much time to think. They began to see other things than the bright bubble of tinted illusions. They were married, and marriage, by |Ngolly1 was, serious business. Within two months Johnny had chopped off several of the more awe-producing bills and was mak- ing great headway with a flock of smaller ones. Betty turned her energies to the concoction of tasty but inexpensive salads and the stretching of cold mashed potatoes into delicious patties two meals later. The line of -visaged men who had been knocking at Betty's back door dwind1ed rapidly Johnny began working overtime in order to whittle away more speedy the remaining creditors slips. Life turned into a monoton. ous grind in which Johnny awoke, gulped some coffee, rushed off to work. came home late and piled into bed, only to awake again and gulp more coffee on his way out. Betty kissed him when he came in | and he was asleep before she got half through with the dishes. During the third month their jaws began to set with the grim- ness of their task and their honeyed words became clipped and monosyllabic. Yet, with the pers slstence of shattered youth, they kept 1t up, fighting tho last dime with 8 tenacity bordering on ferociousness.
 They came out of 1t with @ new vision. A friend of theirs dropped by a few days ago to say hello. Fall leaves were droppingf around the caves of the little cottage and in the open fireplace cheery blaze sent sparks flying upward Betty sat by the dancing flames, knitting on something strangely contented look on her smilingly calm face.
 Johnny lay on sofa from which he could control the dials of a | small radio set. Music flooded the place, the fire crackled, each cor- ner echoed the completeness of the life within. The bubble is taking shape again; not so large nor so gaudily tinted as before, but more | evenly shaded, more smoothly har- monized, and of much stouter texture.

Gdynia, Poland (UP)--Greater faith in the rapid recovery of America and her commerce may be found in Poland to-day than in some sections of the United States.
 Anticipating the great commerce to flow between Russia and the United States, millions of dollars are being expended here in devel- oping Gdynia, the new port of the Republic of Poland on the Baltic Sea, which marks the shortest trade route between the two coun- tries. Miles of ultra modern docks have been constructed. and equipped with the newest machin- cry for handling cargoes of all kinds.
 A fishing village with about 500 inhabitants less than 10 years ago, Gdynia now is modern elec- trified. paved. severed city with theaters, public buildings, man. sions and private residences, in ad- dition to a seashore resort com, parable to our Atlantic City.
 TO accommodate American shipping Gydnia has developed a harbor comprising 93 miles of shoreline, as compared with Mar seilles with 137 miles and Havre with II. A great sea wall has been built out into the Baltic nine miles in length. Great basins have been built of concrete. The special coal basins served with the newest form of electric cranes, are a feature or the port. The wharves are lined

The marriage went off smoothly enough and you could have knock the guests over with Il ton truck, they were that surprised.
 Johnny and Betty went to live in q little cottage by the side of q lake and were blissfully happy for well, almost month. Then Johnny awoke to tho fact that he was broke. As a matter of record, he had been broke the night they were married, but being broke has nothing whatsoever to do with young love. as any harassed land- lord can tell you.
 But here he was, broke, and no food on the pantry shelves, and no ice in the refrigerator, either. The bubble of intending bright blue skies and rosc-tinted clouds and in- toxicating air had suddenly burst and left them standing in the middle of their parlor looking slightly puzzled at the spot where the bubble had been.
 ''Well," Johnny said finally we've got to eat"
 Betty nodded ih c slightly dazed manner, shook her short curls sharply to clear away tho cobwebs. opened her eyes and said, "Of course. Go to the store and get a load of groceries."
 "But I haven't any money" said Johnny.
 "No money?"
 Mot a dime" said Johnny.
 "Start a charge account" sug- gested Betty.
 Johnny went down to a chain store that had catered to most of the radio people in the vicinity and walked out with large box of groceries and six bottles of three point two. On the way home he stopped at a gas station and filled ID, with gas and oil and replaced his two threadbare rear tires with shining new ones.

Betty had roomed with one of the other girls in the six-girl act and had been very careful indeed about stage-JohnnieS and that sort of thing. She had, quite naturally given all her time to the business of dancing, and she looked ahead | to a time when she wouldn't be in | HaIsey and Hale's revue at all. but would be on Broadway with some of the Albertina Rasch girls, or something.
 Spring came, as Springs have a habit of doing, and the Halsey and Hale Revue went into storage some place in Connecticut. Betty packed her things and returned to Boston, where her mother and father set cut an extra plate and remade the bed in Betty's old room.
 Then she heard from Johnny again. He was out on the tip of Long Island, attached to far flung tentacle of giant corpora tion octopus engaged in bouncing radio dots and dashes over the seven seas and innumerab1e oceans. Johnny was in love, and if he did mt say so in black and white he at least intimated as much. He i'm vitcd Betty to come up and spend a couple of weeks, and ,Johnny's landlady, dear old Aunt Laura Tompkins, added q nice note of her own that swept any question as to the propricty of the tentative get-together.
 Johnny Had Written
 About All His Friends
 Johnny had written about all his nice friends on Long Island and how they would entertain her and make her feel right at home, and how much fun they could have going swimming and what not. So Betty asked her mother, and her mother consented. Then she asked her father and he said "Okay." A few days later Betty packed her little bag again and headed for Long Island.
 Johnny's friends got together and gave Betty a welcoming party. Then Aunt Laura engineered q six table bridge affair. and Johnnys friends went into huddle and came out with another welcoming party. Things went like that for several days, and Johnny and Bet ty had had very little time for swimming or anything else. And before they knew 1t it was almost time for Betty to go back home again.
 About this time MT and Mrs Tracy, a very intelligent couple who could smell a romance from any given direction and at any distance, got Johnny into a corner and bore down on him. The out come of the bearing down was that Johnny agreed to be willing victim. Without saying anything to Betty the trio procured the marriage license and its accessor- les, arranged for the local judge to be on hand, and then invited everybody up for a farewell occas- sion. Everybody went.
 An hour before the judge was due Johnny maneuvered Betty into an alcove and laid all the cards. along with his heart, right in her lap. Betty picked them all up and, smiling radiantly, kissed

YOU CAN PARK
 YOUR VOICE NOW:
Words Impressed on Form By Magnets Producing
 Varying MagnetizatiOn

Cambridge, Mass, (UP)--Now you can park your voice--just as you park your car.
 The vocal parking space device has been exhibited in Memorial Hall at Harvard University. The
 parking space consists of a thin steel ribbon which flows along in
 plain sight at about. one foot per second. Unlike any other form of
 recording speech. 1t is not neces-- sary to process the ribbon or trent 1t in any way. The voice is irn- pressed upon 1t directly by means of two small magnets which pro-
 duce q varying fnagnetization to the sound waves in ones speech. Any time the words parked are wanted for transmission the rib- bon is run through a second set of magnets. and the speed is repro duced in the form of an electric current. The device has the ftir-
 ther advantage that tho parking space may be used over and over
 again. As soon as one speech has been cleared. another can be moved into the same space. where- as any other form of recording usually spoils the disk or film used
 for further recording.
