An ex-senator of the United States,
a colored man, Blanche X. Bruce of
Mississippi, was honored by having
created for him the office of register

Miss C. N. phoned and asked if l
would give the location of the Mason
and Dixon line. Will do my best Miss
C. N. This line was originally the
parallel of latitude 80 degrees, AZ
minutes, 1858 seconds which separ-
ates Pennsylvania from Maryland. 1t
received it's name from Charles Ma
son and jeremiah Dixon, two Eng
lish mathematicians and astronomers,
who traced the greater part of it be-
tween the years 1853 and 1767,
though the last thirty-six miles were
finished by others. 1t was practically
the dividing line between the free
and slave states in the East. During
the discussion in Congress on the
Missouri Compromise, John Randolph
of Roanoke, Va, made free use of
the phrase, and thereafter it became
popular as signifying the dividing
line between the free and slave terri
tories throughout the country. The
boundary, as thus extended by popu
lar usage, followed the Ohio River
to the Mississippi, and west of that
was the parallel of Sc degrees, 80
minutes, the southern boundary of
Missouri, though Missouri itself was
a slave state.
On page 251, The Negro In Our
History, Carter G. Woodson, Ph.D.

HEADLINE WRITERS
 EXHIBITING SKILL
MattatuCk Liquor Sales Corp. Contest Winner
 Chosen Today

Hundreds of headlines submitted by amateur adv-writers to the Mat tatuck Liquor Sales Corp, Contest during the past week. have proven to Mgr. Tom Hartigan that the public of Waterbury is taking great interest in the fascinating game sponsored by the progressive firm.
 The headline appearing in to- days Mattatuck Liquor Sales adv. elsewhere in The Democrat was adjudged last weeks winner and 1t was submitted by Ralph DeMers of 53 Crown street, Waterbury. You folks who didn't win last week and you others who didn't try, turn to the adv. right now and jot down Q snappy headline about Barclays, similar to the one submitted by MT. DeMers last week. Be sure to get your entry to the store by Saturday of this week.
 The response was so great last week that the management has de- cided to increase the prize this week to two quarts of Barclays Straight Whiskey, 50 that's two good reasons why you should enter this novel contest.

"In the past three years the up- swing from the depression has been at hand, business has improved, tax collections have increased, and new tax programs have been introduced in many places to bring In added revenue. And now is the time for the local communities and the states to look forward to an early sponsorship of the relief program in their particular areas. This VII! tend to hold down the size Of the national debt."
 That was the declaration made by Henry H. Heimann, executive man. ager of the National Association Of Credit Men, last night before the Connecticut State Credit Conference at the Pennington Country Cup near Hartford in the course of his address before delegates of all parts of Connecticut on "Inevitapie Trends"

 "Aside from this future burden. 1t developed a tendency of looking to Washington for alleviation of a situation that, to some extent, should be carried at any time by local funds and most of the time should be carried almost entirely if not entirely-by such means.
 "If the problem is taken care of by the local government there may be more or less varying inefficiency in the matter of the distribution ot relief as between localities but there will be a decided general ten- dency to hold down cost because the local government is In many re- spects closer Co the pocketbook- nerve Of the individual.

Local Sponsorship
 Of Relief Favored
Means of Balancing National Budget Heimann Tells
 Credit Men-Baer Presides at Luncheon

just how much taxing the federal government does to carry on It's reg ular work, not to mention the nc- cessity for additional expenditures for relief. That we have been tak- ing care of this relief on borrow today and meet the bill tomorrow basis does not lessen the fact that now or eventually the money will have to be paid.
 Before the present administra- ton, loans were made to states for purposes of relief. Since 1883 the principle of direct grant in aid, which had been established in con- nection with other matters by the federal government in its relation with the states, was adopted and the federal government also took over almost complete responsibility for the development of the relief pro- gram" MT. Heimann pointed out.
 "This looking to Washington has had t he effect of raising the fed- eral governments share of relief funds from 60 per cent in 1883 to "A in 1885. Of course, there was ar unusual situation during the worst point of the depression in l032-33 and in many situations local credit had been strained to the point where further relief was not possi- ble to any considerable degree through borrowing.
 No one will deny our national government in that critical period had to come into the breach. Now, however, it would seem we can well take a different view"
 Herman Baer of the Waterbury Button Company presided at the luncheon.

up to his, and she propped her chin up mentally.
 "Tell me about the Glee Club concert" she said.
 He did. Precisely the way he would have told his mother. Care- fully he reviewed the program. After that, Linda gave up. When he rose she got his hat and, sum- moning @ smile she did not feel, she said, I'm not very gay now, Dix, or very good company, but I hope you'll come again"

 Very calmly Linda took the tea tray to the kitchen. Very calmly she wrapped the untouched sand- wiches in Q damp cloth, put the cream back in the bottle, rinsed the dishes. Calmly she emptied the ash trays. Then she took all the flowers out and dumped them in the rubbish basket. She went upstairs and squeezed her eyes tightly shut so that the tears would not come through.
 But they did come, and when she had cried until her nose was red, her lip swollen and her eyes burned back in her head and she was as disgusted with herself

as she was hurt she took off the velvet gown and got out her old tweeds, the worn riding hat, and her brogues.
 Linda felt the need of fresh air and sympathy. When she set out, with small hands clenched in the pockets of her coat, she sought only the fresh air, but when her mind had cleared itself of the afternoon she remembered Pete Gardiner. She remembered the tone. of his voice. She remen1- bered how he had looked when he spoke about his mother and, to her own shame, she remembered how lightly she had dismissed his nvitation-from his mother, he had said to have supper with them at his home.
 And then Linda knew there was only one thing in the world she wanted at that moment and that was to see Pete's mother. She was ashamed of her behavior, but her desire was stronger than that and she hastened her steps until she came to 0 drug store. Quickly, she turned the pages of the telc- phone directory until she came to his name and found the address. It was 0 little house, but 1t wasn't quite the kind of little house Linda had expected to find. It was freshly painted and ever- greens hid the worn foundations.

 q sent him to little shop down the street for cream. We're going to have strawberry shortcake. He'll be back in just a minute. Make yourself comfortable, I've got to see about my biscuit"
 "Hello," Linda said to Pete be- fore he had time to recover from his surprise. My caller left earlier than I expected and came to sur- prise you"
 "That's why that's fine" Pete had to readjust his thoughts about Linda. Disappointment had given way to hot anger after he had talked to her on the tele- phone, but now all that had dis appeared. He liked her for coming He liked her for the old tweeds she wore and the easy way she had greeted him. He liked her.

CHAPTER W

A date was a date, and it had to be kept in Linda's code, but when Pete Gard lner's call reminded her of their date for Sunday after noon she thought of Dix and did something she had never done in her life before. She lied to him.
 "I'm terribly sorry," Lin- da said, "but I'm afraid I can't keep our date. Some thing unexpected, something about the = the estate has come up U and I've got to see someone at 4 o'clock"
 There was the briefest of silences. Linda couldn't know that it was bitter disap- pointment. Then Pete tried again:
 If it's not going to keep you late, couldn't l pick you up for supper?"
 It was Linda's turn to hesitate. Dix hadn't said anything about supper.
 He had said he would come by around 1. Hoping that he would stay, she had already prepared Q little supper for them.
 I'm afraid 1t will be too late And I'm .. I'm really sorry" she said almost truthfully.
 "okay. We'll try another time" Pete said with a lightness he didn't feel And when ne had rung on, his lips frightened as they had when he was Q little boy. Perhaps Miss Bourne didn't care flor the idea of going across the tracks to the Gardiner home for supper.
 Linda didn't think of that or of Petes mother until much later that day. Dix was comingl
 At 3 Linda took of the mourn ing frock and put on her black velvet. She arranged and rear- ranged the flowers, the tea-tray. She lighted fires in the library and drawing room. She opened the windows 50 that the early spring air and sunshine would rout out the atmosphere of tragedy that still clung to the silent rooms.
 It was nearly 5 when Dix came. His roadster roared into the drive and, through the curtains, Linda saw him glance ct his wrist.watch before he raised the Enocker.
 "Hello," she said in Njust the I CUklS oklC Ala0 6AW0yo ooAN AsSseS " him before, but embarrassment had fallen on him. She could for- get while she was with him, the heavy hand of circumstance that had descended since last they had met. Dix couldn't. It was not strong enough, this bond between them, Linda had become someone else. She was dramatized in his mind, and try as she would, she could not change things.
 He told her gravely of his ace tivities, and when she tried to speak of her father and all that Dix already knew (because she wanted to clear away the Some- thing between them SO that they could find each other as they had been) Dix would not allow her.
 He wouldn't have tea, he said, glancing once more at his watch. He had to pick up some people" In her imagination, Linda saw Jane Wyatt's laughing face held |

the white ruffled curtains, blow ing out to them from the lighted windows.
 A wave of anticipation ran from Linda's gloved finger all through her as she paused, hand poised above the old fashioned knocker. She knew that the little house would smell of spices and good things. She closed her eyes for a moment and opened them when the door opened in answer to her ring.
 "No 1t can't be true!" she said to herself before she spoke. Mrs. Gardiner was entirely too much like something out of a book. Look as she would, Linda couldn't find @ flaw. Little, sweet-faced, her soft skin Q network of the wrin- kles of the aged (for all that she was not truly old), Mrs. Gardiner was Linda's idea of A Mother. Her white hair was drawn back in simple knot. Her slipping spectacles were gold-rimmed. Her dress of dark blue taffeta might have been six weeks or six years old. The diamond sunburst just above the top of the white lawn apron was all that she had left Of days that her son would not re- member.
 In that quick second, Linda won- dered what her own mother was like. The pretty, frivolous girl who had run away from her little daughter.
 "1'm Linda Bourne, Mrs. Gar- diner" she said.
 "Well, now this is a pleasant surprisel" Mrs. Gardiner had drawn her into the small hall. It did smell of spice and .. and tobacco, Linda thought approv- ingly.
 we were afraid you weren't going to be able to come, after all. I told Peter to call you and see if that gentleman might have left by now, but he said maybe you'd come anyway. And I see you have"
 Linda was slightly swept off her feet. She had planned to con- fess that she was suddenly ashamed and had come to apolo- gize, but now Mrs. Gardiner had given her a graceful way out 50 that none of them need be hurt and she seized 1t.
 "Mr. Gardiner said he would call for me, but wasn't sure what time I would be free. I took chance, breaking in on you this way, be- cause wanted to meet you, Pete MT. Gardiner told me such lovely things about you."
 "You mustn't mind him, Miss Bourne. He says lovely things about everybody, and very lovely things about you"
 Suddenly Linda felt her back 90 e little straighter. She didn't want Pete Gardiner to say lovely things about her. She didn't want him to think of her. She resented any irn- plication that there might be any

As both an admonition and friend ly advice to all candidates in the Better Business Drive, attention is called to rule nine of the contest rules which says that the decision of the contest judges will be final in all matters.
 This means that any apparent ir- regularities will be thoroughly inves- tigated by the judges and if they are proven the judges will be forced to throw out these votes, or dis qualify the contestant.
 Rule II prohibits the distribution of votes 'by any other method than according to the above rules"
 The rules as interpreted by the judges do not permit contestants who remain in the contest to hold back votes and then towards the end turn them over to another candidate. The contest is clearly open and fair, and 1t is assumed that all those participating in it will exercise fair
