I think"
Our apartment Mollie corrected,
pleasantly. Its awfully good to see
you again. Won't you sit down."
Mr.. Rogers sat down, but said. II
mustn't take up much of your time
I wanted to talk TO some one about
Ann and Lee Monday and Ann always
talks of you as if you had been a Sec
ond mother to her. I was prepared to
find a woman about twice your age, to
tell the truth"
Mollie laughed. you've come to
the right place." she declared. Il
can't tell you how much Ann means
to me and if I can help" The
suddenly paused. You know who Lee
Monday is, of course"
Naturally. AS a matter of fact.

shes crazy"
"She's always seemed to me to be
an exceptionally sane girl. Mr.. Hud-
son. OF course, may be prejudiced."
Bill showed his chair back and stood
up and lighted a cigaret. Have
one?" throwing the package on the
desk. He watched the lighted match
burn itself out, dropped the twisted
black remains on the floor and putting
his foot on 1t. said stubbornly:
"Of course AIMS In love with Lee
Every girl he ever spoke to Is in love
with him. And why not? He's got
everything-money. a big name, a
swell disposition. He's the biggest
catch in the country and If Ann"
he did not finish, but leaned forward
on the desk. "See here. Mr.. Rogers,
you've got me at a disadvantage.
What's the gag, anyway"
"Gag?" Mr.. Rogers repeated.
Whats the idea," Bill interpreted.
What are you getting at?"
"Oh, see," Mr.. Rogers smiled.
Then, as the smile faded: why, it's
simply this. From one thing and
another Ann said, gathered you were
one of her close friends here in Wash
ington and thought I would like to
talk things over with you you
understand, Ann still means to 60
through with it. She doesn't love
young Monday but she feels she's COM
mitted herself and she's determined
to marry him :. and I'm Just as de-
termined that she won't. That's about
all there is to it. I guess"
Bill nodded, slowly. II get it," he
said. "You feel Ann isn't old enough
to know what she's doing"
"Old enough, perhaps" Mr.. Rogers
said. but still not knowing what she's
doing. Not realizing. mean, that
she's being as unfair to Monday as
she is to herself"
Bill pondered that. 81 still don't
see what you can do about it, though"
I've considered that 1t won't be
easy. But as a last resort I can make
a nasty scene about 1t. And If you
know Ann, you know she wouldn't
care to have her father making a
| scene al her wedding"
In moment Bill was sitting on his
desk, leaning toward the older man,
saying earnestly, "You wouldn't do
that. You aren't tyrant enough to
want to spoil the greatest thing that
ever happened to her. You wouldn't
dare"
Mr.. Rogers rose. There was no
evidence Of anger in his face, but
MS voice was hard and incisive:
I'm afraid we don't see eye to eye
IN the matter, Mr.. Hudson. Let me
remind you that I am AIMS father
and can assure you I have no inten-
ton Of letting Ann ruin her life by
marrying the wrong man when the
man she loves hasn't the gumption to
save her from her own foolishness
=. thanks for your time and-good
night"
When the door had closed Bill
swung his legs over and sat on the
outside OF the desk hts heels kicking

I'm not 30 much interested in him at
the moment as am in another man.
Do you know o william Hudson, Miss
Winslow?"
"Bill9" smiling, but curious. ooh.
very we'll"
Mr.. Rogers hesitated. do you mind
telling me what's wrong with him?"
He was so grave about 1t, Molhe
could not help grinning. WELL" she
said, there's so much wrong with
him it would take all evening to tell
you. But when you knew it all, I
would still have to tell you that II
were a marrying woman, he's the only
man I'd consider for a husband"
Mr.. Rogers rubbed his chin,
thoughtfully, said in NATTER fact
voice:
81 suppose you know AIMS in love
with him"
Mollie looked at him. lips parted.
"Ann-in love with Bill?" But it
isn't possible"
"You don't think she would tell me
she was II she was not?"

stantly opened them again, as If to
be sure she was awake. After little
she said, I'm afraid I've been dead
from the neck up for months" She
was silent again, trying to organize
her sadly confused thoughts. Then:
"You can't imagine how ridiculous 1t
all seems to me at this moment. You
see, I happen to know Bill is hope
lessly in love with Ann-and has been
almost from the first minute he ever
saw her"
Half an hour later Mollie wrote
Bills Office and apartment addresses
on a slip of paper and gave 1t to
AIMS father. Mr.. Rogers thanked her
and got to his feet.
Mollie said, II don't know how
you're going about 1t and can tell
you now you'll find him difficult; but
-" she gave him her hand-"1 wish
you luck"
When he had gone Mollie sat down
and turned back to the typewriter,
but it was a long while before her
fingers touched the keys. She was
thinking of Bill when he found him.
self talking to AIMS father, man as
independently irregular in thought and
action as he was himself.
Mr.. Rogers took taxi directly to
Bits office. Bills assistant had gone
home and Bill was alone, sitting at a
| typewriter in his shirt sleeves, his
shirt open at the neck, long leg
hanging over the sliding leaf of the
desk. He looked up as Mr.. Rogers
entered, grunted pleasantly enough
and dropped his eyes to the half writ
ten sheet in his machine.
II don't want to interrupt If you're
busy" Mr.. Rogers said, quietly, but
I'd like to talk with you few minutes
If could. I'm Ann Rogers father"

then. He shook hands and pulled ul
chair. Il hadn't heard you were

conversation. Ann come back with
you?"
Mr.. Rogers said she had. Were
stopping at the Pilgrim. I hope you'll
have chance to run over and meet
AIMS mother before we get away"

ually. I'm not so sure of that. A
girl who marries a man she doesn't

Bill glared at him. Maybe I'm Just
dumb, but don't follow that. Who
says she doesn't love him?"
She does, if you want to take my
word for it,

the thin panel. The chair Mr.. Rogers
had occupied was directly in front
Of him now and after q little he
reached a foot out and kicked the
chair half way across the room.
He was still sitting there, still star
ing with unseeing eyes, when some 10
minutes later the telephone rang.
1t was Ann. I'm at the apartment,
BILL" she said in q firm voice. 1--WE
just had wire from Lee and I'm wor-
ried. Could you possibly run up for a
few minutes?"
Bill ignored the question. He said
bluntly: II hear your folks are in
town" It would have been SO easy
to say 1t pleasantly but he didn't try.
Bring 'em down for the wedding?"
"How funny you sound" Ann said.
She explained that her father had
had to come to Washington to testify
at a hearing on bill. HE said he
would be at the Capitol all afternoon
but he'll be free tomorrow and I
want you to run over to the hotel
for minute and say hello"
Sure" Bill said, already q little
ashamed that he had half suspected
Ann Of sending her father to see him.
Obviously, Mr.. Rogers had come Of
his own accord and without his daugh-
ter's knowledge. Now, abruptly, "All
right, Ann. I'll be along In 10 minutes
or So"
When Bill entered the apartment
Ann smiled pleasant greeting. you'll
find Lees wire on the table there"
she told him. 1T came Just . few
minutes before I called you"
Bill found the telegram and read
it in low humble:
Leaving Los Angeles am. (Stop)
Landing Chicago to pick up Senator
Runbrecker and Carl Balmer (Stop)
Hope to land Washington Airport
about, 7 tomorrow evening (Stop)
Loads of love LEE"
After little silence Ann said, 81
don't like it, Bill. Unless somebody
wired Lee to stop at Chicago, how
coud he know the Senator and Carl
would be there? And If somebody
did wire hinn-why?"
She was thinking Of what Mollie
had told her about Senator Run
brecker after their visit to Selma, of
his last quarrel with Deane and Of
the little telephone mouthpiece device
Mollie had taken from the Senator's
desk. Since then she had never Quite
succeeded in freeing her mind of the
suspicion that the Senator knew more
about the brutal killing Of Thurman
Wells and Dean than he had let on.
Bill said suddenly. II don't like 1t,
either. It looks to me like some Of
Carl's work. I think we'd better get
a wire through to Lee to keep an
eye on that boy"

the door of her little room at the
Globe and moment later she found
herself looking up at tall, pleasant

familiar, and yet she could not place

of this conference would be to
agree upon "a nationwide pro-
gram to reduce excessive costs
of State governments and their
local subsidiaries by reorganiza-
ton of local governmental sys-
TENS and elimination of all
obsolete and unnecessary offices
and functions.
When a candidate for Presi-
dent, Mr.. Roosevelt is believed
to have given serious conSidera-
ton to the calling of such a
conference. Since that time the
need for such a conference has
been tremendously increased by
the recklessness of pork-barrel
politicians in multiplying the
number of governmental units
which the people are taxed to
support.
Already there are more than
10000 units of government in
the United states.
LOGICAL FIRST STEP
Already the American people
are taxed every year at the rate
of two thousand million dol
lars to pay for the failure of
government throughout the
Union to modernize its ma
chinery and throw away obso-
lete and useless parts.
Every dollar spent by the
Government" declares the au-
thor of the Mcleod resolution,
sis ultimately paid by the tax.

almost ten thousand million dol.
lars a year in taxes, of which
amount it is estimated that
fully One-fourth is completely
and utterly wasted"
The greatest source of waste
in government today is in county
and local government. The
whole system of county and
local government, as Mr.. Roose.
welt pointed out while governor
of New York. is an inheritance
from the early days of the re-
public when the ox-cart was
the chief means of transporta-
ton.
1t is as out of date today as
is the ox-cart in the age of the
automobile and the airplane.
A White House conference,
presided over by the President
of the United States and at
tended by the 48 governors of
the several States, would seem
to be the logical first step in a
mighty uprising of the Ameri-
can people to throw off the
yoke of ox-cart government by
recognizing and reducing gov
ernmental units to modern
needs.
Such reform will not rid this
country of those political para
sites called pork barrel politi.
clans, but it would, as Theodore
Roosevelt said upon another
occasion, at least make these
hogs take their feet out Of the
trough"

When Rob- Hiram Percy Maxim
ert Edwin Peary and Mathew
Henson stood at 80 degrees
north latitude-the North Pole
no matter in what direction
they looked, they were looking
due south. There was NO
OTHER direction. Naturally,
every wind, no matter from
where, came FROM the south
and blew TOWARD the south.
That SENS a strange sort OF
wind, but the North Pole is a
strange sort of place.
Assuming that Peary stood
exactly on the axis of the
earth; instead Of travelling
around, he would merely TWIST
around once in "a hours.
Of all things on earth, he
came the nearest to standing
still. Henson, standing beside
him, was travelling around
with the earth as it revolved,
because he was not exactly at
the center of rotation.
If Henson were standing
three feet distant from Peary,
he would have been travelling
bit over 18 feet, 10 inches,
in "a hours, while Peary would
not have travelled at all. And
yet, at no time was Henson
farther away than three feet!
WE'RE TRAVELLING
At the equator the earth is
about 5000 miles in diameter,
or about $4,000 miles in cir
conference. It makes one
revolution in "a hours.
This means that a person
standing on the Equator is car
ried $4,000 miles in "a hours,
which is over 1000 miles per
hour. In the same "a hours,
Henson would have travelled
Is feet, 10 inches, and Peary
not at all.
Most of those who read
