CHAPTER, TX

1--WE shall rest now. You deserve
a glass of champagne. A present
for a good little girl" He led her
to the edge of the rink and
steered her over to little alcoVe.
Freddy and Bernice had arranged
plenty of selected sitting-out
places. This one was made-for-
two, and banked with Christmas
frs.
Presently he came back with a
bottle of champagne and two
glasses. Here you are, is it Miss
Nineteen?"
They drank. They laughed.
They talked. "How did you guess
my age?" Ann giggled.
"Your voice, my dear. Your
lightness. Your exuberance. My
own intuition" said the unknown.
There was something reminis-
cent in that low-pitched, beauti-
fully modulated voice that made
her blood race faster, and her
heart beat thrillingly.
Ann flirted, enjoying herself
greatly.
And so did he.
Suddenly he stopped and kissed
her. With a quick movement she
pushed his mask back from his
face.
The man was Paul Bradley!
Ann kept her head.
To make herself known to Paul
Bradley directly after he had
kissed her at the masked Ice Car
nival would be 6 dramatic gesture,
doubtless, but fraught with dan
gerous chances!
Wasn't it his definite policy
never to mix social relations with
business?
How much more, would 1t an
noy him-nay, antagonize him
to realize that he had kissed one
of the employees of his own store!
Instead of putting up her stock
with him, professionally or politi-
cally speaking, it would denote
her. He would think that she had
recognized him, despite mask and
domino, from the beginning and
deliberately flirted with him. Used
the vamping tactics that Brenda
SELF, the Gift Shop buyer, had
warned her against. Why, he
might be so chagrined that he
would even fire her!
Goodby, Comparison-Shopper!
Adieu, career!
These thoughts flashed through
her mind as, from behind the
safety of her mask, she looked
into the handsome dark eyes of
her partner.
But Ann would not have been
human had she not thrilled to the
sheer drama Of the situation.

she would use her to the limit.
Why not?
AIMS costume for the Ice Car
nival was bright scarlet, trimmed
with white fox fur.
Extravagant white boots with
white fur tops to them went with
the smart little suit and cap that
were so eminently becoming to
Ann.
Ann skated beautifully.
She was looking forward i'm
mensely to the carnival, for she
adored skating, and to know that
she had combined an excellent
stroke of business (via the masks
and dominoes) was doubly crafty
ing.
Gordon Gavin was emerging
from his shell and coming to the
carnival, and all her own crowd
would be there, too. People from
the store, also, principally among
the buyers. Ann thought: IF
only Mr.. Bradley would come"
But there was no hope Of it, for
he seemed to have no interest
whatever in society functions.
When the big night came and
the Garden Ice Rink was crowded
and the band played all the newest
tunes, Ann was on air. Masked
as she was, she had innumerable
partners, but there was one-a
tall man, who was a perfect skater
who contrived, after a time, to
annex her.
He was curiously silent, consid-
ering that champagne cocktails at
81 apiece had been flowing like
the Hudson River from the start.
Many of AIMS partners had been
tippety on their skates, due to
libations, or overdaring in per-
Torrance, so that it was really
lovely to have the perfect ice
partner at last.
They swooped, they whirled, ex-
quisitely timed.
"A professional. Of course?"
thought Ann, giving herself over
to the exhilarating rhythm.
nut, over and above all this
perfection of movement, there was
something magnetic about her tall
companion, so that she refused to
let anyone else cut in.

How Long Tobacco Road?

When Sinclair Lewis desired to
epitomize smal-town civilization in
America he invented Main Street."
Erskine Caldwell now has had recourse
to the same device-his Tobacco Road"
is shocking picture of the degradation
of the poor white trash" of North and
South alike. Both books hurt the hearts
of sensitive readers. Together they con-
stitute a challenge to every citizen who
by the grace of God is concerned for the
welfare of his -countrymen.
But Main Street" is heaven by COM
parison with the forgotten rural byways
where the Testers dwell The whole
purpose and point of Mr.. Caldwell's
effort would be missed if it were sup
posed that Jeeter represented nothing
but himself. To understand the story
1t is necessary to remember that he is
only symbol of poverty and vice. His
shameless degeneracy is a symptom of
condition which prevails in other States
quite as conspicuously as in Georgia.
Evening star., 1936-08-16

Indeed, there is abundant evidence to
suggest that Tobacco Road" runs from
coast to coast.
How else can the Black Legion in
Michigan be explained? The Luciano
and Drukman scandals in New York,
the Hamm kidnapping case in Minnesota,
the gang warfare in Chicago, the Lind
bergh tragedy. Al Capone, Legs" Dia-
mond, Dutch" Schultz, John Dillinger
and ten thousand less colorful criminals
all have had an identic background.
Contrary to traditional theory, the
breeding ground appears to be that of
rural and not urban areas.
But the geographical aspect of the
problem probably does not matter very
much. Little energy need be wasted in
debate about the exact course of TO
bacco Road" 1t may be conceded that
it meanders up and down the map
acknowledgements events prove that
it is approximately a mile wide in
Hollywood
The question is: What can be done
about it2 And it is worthy of mention
to the credit of the New Deal that
President Roosevelt has tried to pro-
vide at least a partial answer. The
A. A. A., T. v. A., resettlement enter
prises of several different kinds, the flood
and drought relief campaigns were in
tended to raise the standards of agrarian
life and similar program was designed
for the more crowded centers of popu-
lation. Mistakes, admittedly, were made
and there has been indefensible waste of
money, yet the ideal was not in itself an
error. The alternative is a Nation of
Jeeters, and it may be hoped that Re-
publican leaders will be mindful of that
solemn truth if perchance they are VIC
torious in November.

that the master of the house became
angry and passed condemnation upon
him, saying, Take, therefore, the talent
from him and give it to him that hath
profitably employed his gifts, for unto
him that hath shall be given, but from
him that hath not shall be taken away
even that which he hath"
The failure to use what had been freely
and generously given him carried with
it its own penalty. There Is no incon-
sistency in this judgment, it is a Just
and equitable appraisal of opportunities
neglected and abused. One thing that
this difficult and highly critical age IS
emphasizing is a reappraisal of lifes
values and their legitimate use. More
and more we are being driven back upon
ourselves to discover if possible what are
the real and permanent values of life
itself. If we must abandon gold stand
ard as the highest expression of mate
rial values, then we must find an ade-
quate substitute and we must find it in
a fresh recognition of moral and spiritual
values and their consistent use.
We shall hardly find the solution of
our problems until we recognize and
use those gifts or talents that have been
given us, not Tor selfish use and our own
advantages, but for the common good
Of the world in which we live. 1t is a
cooperative social and economic order
that Christ contemplated. There may
be and doubtless is a system of compe-
tition that is fair and equitable, but it is
competition based upon the recognition
Of just use of what we owe and must
give for the enrichment of those who
are less fortunate than ourselves.
Christs conception of what life should
be comprehendS more than the jealous
and voluble expressions of a pious faith.
If what He gives to His devout followers
in the way of personal joy and salts
faction, call them talents or gifts, or
what we will He gives them that thev
may be generously and consistently used,
and only as they are used do they gain
in value and earn their just reward.
Evening star., 1936-08-16
THE USE OF TALENTS
RIGHT REV. JAMES e. FREEMAN, D. D., D, D. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON
Any reasonable and just appraisal of

Any reasonable and just appraisal of
life and its purpose compels us to recog-
nize that to each one of us is committed
certain qualities, gifts or talents, the con-
sistent use of which determines our efh-
cheney in the general scheme of thingj.
1t is this that makes possible a happy
and comfortable world in which to live.
Communities and States are made salts
factory or unsatisfactory to their citi-
zens just in proportion as each individual
member makes his or her contribution to
the common good of all. Sometimes 1t Is
only few selfiess and finely conscien-
tious people who give of themselves and
their talents that all may be happy and
prosperous. A single individual, like
Thomas Edison, becomes, through the
use of his rare gifts, the benefactor OF
the whole human race.
The Master used a striking illustration
to emphasize His appraisal of lifes values
and their use in the parable OF the
talents as we have it in the twenty fifth
chapter of St. Matthews gospel. He
describes situation in which the head
of household, departing on journey,
distributes to his servants certain gifts.
To one he gave five, to another two, to
a third, one. The only obligation he
laid upon them was that the talents
thus given should be used and their
value enhanced. The seeming inequity
of the number of gifts bestowed did not
affect the responsibility of the recipients;
their responsibility differed in degree,
but not in kind. AS the story proceeds
we find the servants coming in due
time to render an account of their
stewardship. The approval of the re-
suits is given with equal favor to the
man who had profitably used his two
talents as to the one who with like care
had used his five. Both were accorded
the same honor and distinction. 1t was
only when the man who had received
one talent came and pleaded that he
had not employed his gift for any pur-
pose, but had secretly hidden it away,

that may be inherent in the law" And
that has an ominous ring to it.
The President in June, 1885, prefaced
his tax message on the "Share-the-
wealth" taxes with this statement:
wish to acknowledge the timely eff
forts of the Congress to lay the basis
through its committees for administra-
tive improvements by careful study of
the revenue systems of our own and of
other countries. These studies have
made it very clear that we need to
simplify and clarity our own revenue
laws.
Such simplification and clarification
were expressed through increased taxes.
Again, in his tax message to Congress
last March, the President explained his
proposal to tax corporation earnings
withheld from dividend distribution, and
added:
Ii. Such a revision of our corporate taxes
would effect great simplifcation in tax
procedure, in corporate accounting and
in the understanding of the whole sub
ject by the citizens of the Nation. 1t
would constitute distinct progress in
tax reform.
This revision and simpliflcation and
reformation of the tax laws resulted In
new and higher tax levies.
So Mr.. Morgenthaus statement that
the time has come to consider revision
of the tax laws with the purpose OF re-
moving any inequities" causes some
thing like a shudder along the spines OF
taxpayers They have learned to know
the real meaning of such pleasant ex-
pressions as revision, simplification and
clariacation when applied to the tax
laws.

While advertising himself as a phil
oSopher Snowman, G. Bernard Shaw has
acquired enough of an intelligent fol-
lowing to make his viewpoint worthy Of
ascertainment. An effort at analytical
study of the American citizen is frankly
made in THE Showing Up of Blanco
Posnit" and reveals a kindly disposition
which cannot quite overcome the OBJ
stacles of traditional misinformation.

are feeling than they are in learning
what a scattered cross-section of votes
shows.
In the past all three groups have
been predominantly Republican. In the
1892 election the labor vote and the
farmer vote went heavily Democratic
and did much to swing the election. This
year strenuous efforts are being made
to keep the labor vote Democratic. Just
as intense efforts are made now to line
up the Negro vote on the Democratic
side. Work also is under way to hold
big slice of the farm vote.
Yet, with all the straw votes, elections
still are decided on Election day and
surprises continue to occur. Voters will
do well, in the midst of the polls OF the
next two and one-half months, to re-
member that no election Is in the bag
until the real votes are counted.
