the girl flung open the door Her voice was
sharp. She called "Bruce!'
The man turned startled She called again
Come here!" and as he approached the car
she said. Get in
He hesitated and she spoke again. imperi-
ously repeating the words of her chauffeur
We're blocking traffic" He stepped into the
Car, and settled beside her in the soft. warm
upholstery. She spoke to the chauffeur.
Drive back to my apartment
The gardenia seller said nothing His
finely chiselled features gave no hint of his
thoughts, except that there was family
sardonic smile on his lips. The girl said,
petulantly: What's it all about?"
His response was casual You're looking
well, Nina"
Nina said, You - selling flowers on the
street." She gestured toward the box which
he still held. Throw it out
He shook his head. They cost me four
dollars"
IN pay for them. Throw them out. :"
He lowered the window. and the long box

was bathed in mellow glow. He followed her
into the living room, battered hat in hand,
and stood quietly while she moved about the
living room, touching the light cords of
decorative lamps. She tossed her evening wrap
onto the couch and stood revealed as woman
who was beautiful in a hard, Well-tended way.
Her midnight hair was brushed tight against
a well-Shaped head so that it looked like
varnish, carefully applied Her eyebrows were
thinly arched, her eyes bright, her lips too
crimson, She opened a celarette and said,
"SDtch!"

Straight as usual?"
Yes" He dropped into comfortable

Still partial to the yellow ones?"
Yes" Then she looked directly at him.
You spoiled me - when we were married"
1T seems like ten years since | was here"
Two" she corrected. "since the divorce"
She sat on hassock and looked up at him.
Tell me about it, Bruce"
About what?"
This stunt of selling flowers
He shrugged Its an honorable profession,
and man must live
But surely you have something left"
Does it look that way?"
The big, black eyes were cold and calcu-
lating. Why didn't you let me know"
You answer"
We'll :" She hesitated. Il thought you

You didn't protest"

And what money you had?"

II lost it," He laughed briefly rs this the
time to confess that it all masquerade?
That knew you were going to pass the corner
and wanted you to pick me up?"
rs it?"
I'm afraid not. 1t just happens not to be
true"
She had been regarding him steadily. THE
divorce bumped you pretty badly, didn't it,
Bruce?"
He said. Skip it, That's done" He sur
veyed the lavish room. Time seems to have
treated you nicely, Nina"
"Oh! moderately. I'm not complaining"
Then, Think of your selling flowers on the
street Just couple Of years ago the name
Bruce Mcintyre meant something 49,"

left. He took a bus down
Fifth Avenue, almost to
Washington Square. He
walked west along a street
lined with dingy, red-brick
buildings, and turned in at
the doorway of one. He
walked up to the fourth
floor, and entered.
A girl turned to greet him
"a young, slender girl with
chestnut hair and corn-hower
eyes. She exclaimed, Bruce!
You're early"
Sold out" he explained.
Then he said. HAT and coat,
Mary. We're going places.
On the way uptown he told
her of his meeting with his
former wife and of his visit
to the apartment he had once
shared with her. They left
the bus at Fifty-seventh

ornate shop of one of New
York's finest florists.
A clerk moved forward,
cycling Bruce McIntyre's gen.
teel shabbiness skeptically.
Bruce said, Il want ninety
six dollars worth of yellow
orchids.
"Ninety-six?"
Precisely. Not a dollar
more nor a dollar less.
They're to be sent to Mrs.

LAWS SOUGHT

MONOPOLY

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 U.N.S0.
Legislative plans to force the
American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company to relax its grip
on the moving picture and radio
industries were being studied to-
day by the Congressional Com
mittee on Patents as the first
step toward breaking up the
powerful electric patent monopoly.
The proposals, based on testi-
mony of several electrical equip
ment manufacturers, one OF
whom was driven to the wall
after running into alleged direct
intimidation" by the patent ring,
would provide among other
things that the public utility cor
porations be forced to stay within
their own fields.
DR.. William I. Sirovich, chair
man Of the committee, said, as
the fourth public hearing OF the
investigation opened:
"Any natural monopoly like
the telephone company should
not be permitted to have full
and exclusive use of patents
which come as the result of re-
search made at the expense Of
telephone users and other con-
sumerS.
"The cOmmitte is convinced
that It will be to the best public
interests to work out a system
whereby inventions and devices
developed as by-products by the
utility companies are made
available to responsible indie
pendent manufacturing groups
through licenses on a reason
able royalty basis"
C. C. Colby, Boston lawyer and
for several years president Of the
Samson Electric Company, told
how his company was forced out
of business two years ago after
an active manufacturing career of
more than half a century. The
firm manufactured telephone, pub
lie address system and theater
sound equipment.
Joseph A. Numero. official Of
The Cinema Supplies Company, of
Minneapolis, testified his firm. had
gone through experiences similar
to those Of the Samson company
and is now in litigation with
members Of the patent pool over
10 alleged infringementS.
Further testimony is expected
from moving picture executives
whose companies allegedly have
been hampered by patent restric-
tions imposed by the big utility
firms controlling basic patents,

"Of the 819,320 voters, 346,622 vote yes and 472,698 vote no. Thus the New Deal is trailing by 126,- 076 votes.
 "Of the eight new states repre- sented this week, the New Deal captures half in the initial voting Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. Those show ing negative returns in the early vote are New Hampshire, Wiscon- sin, Oregon, and Washington.
 "A criticism of the present poll is that it does not reach a proper proportion of unemployed and those employed at very low wages or on relief.
 "In September and October, 1892, the Literary Digest conducted 8 nationwide poll by the same method now employed which forecast that Roosevelt would receive 59.86 per cent of th0 Roosevelt Hoover vote.
 "At thaA lhne, October, 1882, the American Federation of Labor esti- mated the number of unemployed at 100000.
 Obviously the same criticism might have been made then (and was made) that the Literary Digest poll of 1882 did not reach 8 proper number of unemployed.
 "Yet in the following election, in November, 1892, the accuracy of the Literary Digest poll was confirmed when Roosevelt did actually receive 59.15 per cent of the total votes cast for Roosevelt and Hoover"

Nearly Half Of States Voting Against New Deal
 Tn Literary Digest Poll
Magazine Answers Criti- cisrn That Unemployed
 Don't Vote In Poll

The vote against the New Deal increases fractionally in the fifth tabulation of The Literary Digest's nationwide poll as total of 819,- 32O votes are reported from thirty four states, mainly in the south and west.
 The total tally which appears in the current issue of the magazine is divided 346,622 votes in support of Roosevelt's policies to 472,698 op- posed to them. The present percent age of 57.69 against the New Deal compares with last weeks percen- tage of 57.24.
 A previous poll on the popularity of the New Deal which was con- ducted by The Literary Digest in the spring of 1884 showed 61.15 per cent of the poll voter then in favor of the presidents policies.
 The twenty-three states which are shown registering opposition to the administrations policies represent 265 electoral college votes, one vote less than g majority, while the elev- n states indicated favoring the New Deal to date have a total of 128 votes in an electoral college ballot- ing. The fourteen states from which no count is yet reported in the poll represent 138 votes.
 Eleven of the thirteen southern tier states, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas continue to vote more than 3 to ? in support of the presidents poli- cies, while Florida and Oklahoma, in the same section, register slight majorities against the New Deal.
 No state in any other section of the nation is shown voting major ity so far in favor of he New Deal.
 Wisconsin's initial balloting this week indicates 8 3 to l ratio against the New Deal. With the advent of the 'LaFollette State" to the poll tally, votes are reported from all states in the farm belt, which con- tinueS to vote against the New Deal as a section by over 3 to 3.
 All of the states from which ballots are reported in the current tally, with the exception of Connec- ticylt and New Hampshire, voted for Roosevelt in 1892.
 Additional ballots received from the twenty-six states which were included in the previous weeks balloting indicate fractional gain in the vote for the New Deal in thirteen states and a fractional gain in the vote for the New Deal in the thirteen other states.
 The thirty-four states represent ed in the current tabulation are said to include approximately three-fourths of the population of tho United States and to have given the president slightly over three-fourths of his total vote which he received in the 1892 elec- kion.
 The first 7,721 ballots from Ar kansas show a favorable percent age of 60.70 in support of Roose- velt,s policies.

New Deal are indicated in Louisi- ana as 63.77 per cent, in Mississippi as 72.81 per cent, and in South Carolina 70.37 per cent.
 The first batch of ballots from New Hampshire shows a vote of more than 3 to against the New Deal.
 On the Pacific Coast, Oregon is indicated polling 59.04 per cent of its initial vote and Washington 6123 per cent of its first ballots against the Administrations poli- cies.
 A comparative table giving the vote percentages Roosevelt received in his 1882 election and the per- centages of the Literary Digest poll vote on his New Deal policies so far indicates sharp decline in all States to date, with the exception of Kentucky which votes higher percentage now for the New Deal than it did for the president per- sonally when he was elected.
 'Thirty-four states swing into line in the fifth report of the Lit- erary Digest's Poll of New Deal strength today" the magazine states in its current issue.
 This weeks vote, refiecting coast-to-coast interest, rolls up 8 total of 819,320 ballots. Eight more states are represented. To com- plete the parade, fourteen others are yet to be heard from.
 Poll followers will note at once that the percentages show fur ther slight loss for the New Deal since last week on the question asked 10,000,000 Americans: Do you NOW approve the acts and policies of the Roosevelt New Deal f0 datn9'
