Friends called. There were
cards and flowers. Valera sent
roses, gorgeous red ones to bright

written messages to Ann and re-

She was recovering rapidly. She
would be quite well by the end of
the week. in fact, she was so
well on the fifth day after the ac-
cident that the nurse arranged to

Valeria looked cool, sweet and

Then he saw the small envelope,

Valera had decided, Il must DO
something soon before she falls in

She was leaving now. She told
Ann goodby and closed the door
behind her.
Ann was relieved. It had been
an ordeal. Somehow she had the
feeling that there was something
vcnomous and cruel beneath Va
lerja's surface friendliness.
There was a piece Of paper on
the rug. Ann reached down and
picked it up. It was check, and
the words and figures leaped at
her. "Valeriq Bennett, $4,000, Pc

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
A COMMUNICATIONS AGENCY

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has recommend
l. ed an intelligent course to congress in
framing legislation affecting communica-
tons companies.
Instead of rushing headlong into the great
mergers that have been suggested, even vigor-
ously pushed. in some quarters, the President
wants a new federal agency created to study
the whole field Of communications-wire
wireless and cables-and later report what,
if any, further steps should be taken.
This new commission also would co-ordin-
ate the present laws regulating communica-
tons power now lodged in the interstate
commerce commission and the radio COM
mission.
Such legislation could, and should, be
passed quickly by congress. 1t involves no
fundamental controversies.
It's final importance will depend, of course,
upon the Presidents selection of persons to
man the new agency.
