signed in the new and elegant cafe of the
Maurice and experienced violent shock.
He saw poised in the doorway the only
girl he had ever loved.
The shock was violent for several rea.
sons, one being that his erstwhile friend,
Fred Morris, had taken low advantage Of
q lovers quarrel and married her almost
on the eve of his own wedding to her
eight years ago; another, that he hadn't
seen her since then. But the main rea-
son was that he was still completely and
overwhelmingly in love with her.
AS he sat very still an exciting thought
raced into his mind-why not take her
away from Fred marry her now? For
wonderful moment he toyed with this
thought, and then with grim suddenness

Diana that would be! To lose Fred, who
had a comfortable fortune and a swell
diplomatic job, and get him instead

forced upon him by the depression
seemed more sickening than ever; living
on in his old apartment in the most
fashionable section of New York-rent
free for the past two years because of
inducing still wealthy friends to move
into the building lunching in luxurious
speakeasies as their guest, privilege
paid for by introducing new and socially
important customers.
He thought of his job and pictured tell
ing Diana of it! And yet that job, at first

tailor"-had been for long time the
only thing that provided anything in
the way of food for his soul. On Satur-
days he took his 50 without shame. 1t
was about the only cash he had.
"Oh, Vic!"
Suddenly he forgot he was broke, for
got he couldn't marry her, forgot every
thing except that she was there before
him.
EVENTUALLY Diana remembered her
escort. Introductions took place and
she sat down.
Let's take this table, Eric. You don't

Btubby, dark young gentleman, who eyed
Victor's blondness and feet with hostile
politeness.
This is my first day home in years,
Vic" Diana said while Eric was ordering.
"How about wining and dining me to-
night in the old royal style?"
All at once he slid from the top of the
world to the lowest, most dismal swamp.
"Where's Fred?" he asked, ignoring for
the moment her embarrassing question.

trying to hold up their heads under roofs

Suddenly he laughed little raucouSly.
Diana and Eric looked family surprised.
Honey, it's been great seeing you," he
said, rising.
But how about dinner, Vic?" She
seemed bewildered and hurt.
"Sorry-Ive an engagement" AS he
met her eyes he thought I mustn't ever
tell you the truth, my sweet, because
you're still in love with me, and you're
such an adorable little dumb-bell that
you'd want to marry me anyhow"
Aloud he said, "I'l call you up some
time" in an unconvincing tone.
They exchanged addresses and Victor
explained why he didn't have tele-

Half way down the block he felt her
take his arm He stopped short.

II left him. wanted to be with you"
His face set in stern, hard lines. THAT
was foolish thing to do. I've got busl-
ness to attend to-"
"Oh--" Her faltering assurance left
her He looked at her for moment. It
dawned on him suddenly that there was
something specifically different about
her.
Come on up to my apartment" he
smiled. "I1l cook you some eggs and we
can talk a while.''
CHE fell into step beside him and they
turned up Park avenue. He seemed
preoccupied and she kept silent.
Finally he spoke. "Where do you sell
your stuff?" he asked abruptly.

bring 1t out. "As matter of fact, I'm
not doing anything very important yet,
but I'm stepping up all the time. The
main thing is that get twice as much
money now as when started"
He WINGED. How much do you get?"
"Darlihg-"
He grinned at her How much do you
make, DIP"
"Well-if work hard I can make 200
month" She met his gaze. "Vic, stop
feeling sorry for me! You've no idea how
we'll you can live on 200 month. OF
course, to plutocrat like you-"
He ignored the last observation. What
happens if you get ill?"
Il don't get i'll. wouldn't think of
getting i'll. /"
Here we are, honey" he interrupted
gently.
AS he put his key in the lock he asked
without looking at her: why don't you
marry that lovelorn youth you left back
in Martini's? That is the Eric Howard
who's filthy with millions, isn't it?"
Eyes, that's he."
He closed the door and spoke authori-
tatively. you should marry him. hear
he's nice fellow and he could give you
everything you ought to have"
Marry him-and then what?" she
asked quietly.
"Oh-go on with your art if you want"

things you read about"

Troubles.

Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce) When you get certain slant troubles" says Robert Updergraff, an Eastern advertising writer, you discover that they are rather useful after all They pay about half your salary
 "Its this way" he explains, whether you are the head of firm, department or even the office plant handy man; whether you sell buy
 ship goods keep books, some could be found to handle the job for about half what you get, if it were not for troubes-the things that go wrong, the people who treat you contemptibly the difficulties that have to be met and overcome It takes intelligence, experience patience, tact
 and courage to properly meet the troubls of any job That is why you hold your present position.
 And it may be the why you don't hold a more important one.
 In every organization there employees whose
 work, to all outward appearances could be handled by most any green hand. They. go about their tasks methodically long as things run smoothly.
 But when troubles occur, they are worth all the
 green hands in city. They know what to do and
 how to do it. They paid for what they know flor their experimentation than the relatively unimportant routine duties their positions require when things smoothly The same applies to those in important posts Most of them work fairly short hours they don't become flustered They know what to do in pinch-when trouble comes.
 That is what they are paid for, and their under
 standing and ability would seldom be appreciated
 and compensated were it not for troubles to which
 they may fail to give due credit for their position

MT Ickes's honesty and ability are in no way involved. The Congress asked by the President to appropriate a gigantic sum of money for public works. It undoubtedly will comply. A number of Congressmen, however, are piqued by what they consider MT. Ickes's lack of deference to their political sagaciy in planning the expenditure of public moneys. They propose to insert in the appropriation bill provso that Mir Ickes shall not be allowed to allocate administer this fund.

Mojave Strike Example to Alaska.
Anchorage Daily Times)

Spirited Alaskans will find inspiration in the new gold-silver strike in the Mojave area Pacific Coast papers ringing with of the most sensational strike in hard rock since the days of Goldfields and Tonopah
 Mining engineers from all over the continent, prospectors and many who know nothing of the game have flocked into the region by thousands Therein the State which was the scene of the great California placer gold stike-what may prove the biggest find of the kind yet has just been made nearly century after California first became a mining sensation And yet will say all chances | for new finds past in the mining areas of America Alaska included.
 | The old story has gone the rounds that young men no longer know the game and will not take the chance nor take to the game. Yet this new strike-only 80 miles from Los Angeles was made by a man only 32 years of age, recent college student And the property he found and opened by intelligent application has lain there dormant for ages, almost in the outskirts of city of nearly two million population. And his discovery is reputed now to have changed hands for s35OOOOo Uncle Sam himself is turning prospector-and for the first time is backing the American mining industry with modern mining organization Mill lions to be advanced under the new deal to aid mining. Loans are to be made to mining concerns Prospectors also to be assisted
 Alaskans should not fail to get in line for their share-and every young man with an ounce of activity will find great incentive California's new strike.
 Alaska is not yet scratched, and millions will be made out of other latent minerals not vet dis covered Who will get them. Not the man who won't try, not the man who won't take chance not the lacking in resources as to say he can't find way

ADVERTISING CANNED SALMON.

For years The Empire has advocated the ad uate advertising, national and international, anned salmon, believing that the real market 1 his delicious food which properly prepared beconl real delicacy, has scarcely been scratched T ollowing editorial, from the Anchorage Times, sho hat other Alaska papers realize what proper e ,loitation can do for the salmon market:
 At last the salmon industry is waking up to the value of publicity. e~
 Yesterdays dispatches announced the As socated Pacific Fisheries will launch an advertising campaign. Three quarters of million dollars is to be invested in printers ink.
 Doubtless the campaign will result in the gospel of salmon being spread through ad- vertisng channels from ocean to ocean. The great American public and perhaps a good percentage of the foreign public will be made salmon conscious. They will be told of the virtues of salmon, one of the most wholesome and essential foods at moderate cost to be found in the world
 The campaign means much to Alaska It will result, no doubt in more salmon being consumed The more salmon consumed the greater the demand-and Alaska as the worlds premier salmon producer will be the major beneficiary.
 When Alaska salmon industries thrive thousands of people along the vast coastal sweep of Alaska are made thrifty and happy
 And Alaskas salmon is not the only food stuff of Alaska that might be successfully exploited in advertising. Her many other x varieties. of fish, her clans. crabs and other foods deserve more publicity.
 Sea foods contain the phosphorus and cal- cium that make for good sound bone and teeth. Nature demands a portion of such in ardar tr oitr fI,a pd, and teeth that will endure Heavy fish eaters have a minimum of tooth decay and bone trouble. Fish should be eaten ire quently several times week. A fish diet helps take away from excessive meat diets notoriousy creative of excessive acids and other troubles.
 Alaska is blessed in her fish with one of the most invaluable foods of nature She can multiply her returns from her gold mines of the seas if she will but exploit them more fully. Why should not salmon cod, herring and other fish from Alaska be popularized as much as tuna so much in demand in every lunch room and cafe in the big outside world ysss
 The salmon cannerS have caught the spirit-they will win if they persist. The psychology wrapped up in the mere sug- gestion of Eat Samon"-"Eat More Fish will go a long way to bring added millions to Alaska
 The salmon canners are on the right track. More power to them in their great advertising campaign

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.- New and swift means of changing the Constitution to provide an econ omic democracy for America is proposed by Secretary of Agricul- ture Henry A. Wallace.
 Writing in the current issue of Golfers magazine, he suggests an Economic Council of four men ito determine, by direct referendum, the will of the people on key ques- tions of national policy"
 The proposed council would sub- init questions to the people. The electorates decision would become the law of the land which could not be held unconstitutional, even by the Supreme Court"
 Direct amendments to the Con- stitution, Wallace suggested, could be initiated by the council and ratified by the referendum upon a two-thirds vote of the people.
