the way that news was radio- gramed to ships ct seq 50 that people might be kept informed with the news happenings in the world that they had hoped to escape-at least some of them had hoped to escape it-by going to sea. You didn't have to read the paper, of course. She put it down.
 Breakfast over, she went on deck, sat down in her chair, and sent deck steward for magazines and books. Someone paused in front of her and Marcia raised lazy eyes. It was Q friend of her mothers, Q woman who had been invited to the wedding, who had tongue for gossip.
 'Mrs. Jameson, I didn't know you were sailing on our boat" Marcia became aware of the plural pronoun when 1t was too late.
 The woman sat down in the next chair. "It's the last place anyone would have looked for you, Marcia Cunningham. But they might have known! Nobody be- lived you were in the conserva- tory with the pink eyel"
 Pink eye?" Marcia Tnugmured. T hadn't thought of thatl"
 Don't think you can escape the public, Marcia. The story came over the radio-it's in the Ocean News and the. whole ships buzz zing. Tell newly did you do it?"
 "What did the paper say about it?" Marcia countered.
 Mrs. Jameson went on asking questions and Marcia went on dodging them as though they were arrows shot from Q vocal bow. When she saw a girl and two men coming down the deck she wished that she knew them and could ask them to rescue her. One of them was familiar, at that. A bronzed face, long legs-the man of the elevatorl Hardly knowing that she did it, Marcia raised her eyebrow lmploringly. Then she remerl- bered that she didn't know the man. He was equal to her request, though. He excused himself from his companions, stepped up. hat in hand.
 Good morning, Mrs. Jameson. I didn't know you were on board. I'm sorry to intrude. Miss Cun- ningham, can we interest you in some deck tennis? Or would you prefer to throw quoits?"
 "Yon canl" Marcia answered determinedly. "You won't mind will you, Mrs. Jameson7 Deck sports are one of my chief reasons for taking . sea voyage"

 There had been no wedding, no wedding party, no guests. No bridegroom. She went into the bedroom and sat down on one of the twin beds whose silken sheets were 50 carefully turned back.
 A maid came in and offered to unpack. Marcia watched her for 8 minute. Then she took off her hat, ran a comb through the tawny curls, powdered her tilted nose, and outlined her lips with deeper red. She put on her hat again and went to the quarterback. Lean ing against the railing, music cor1- ing from another deck where peo- pie danced their way to seq, she watched, the skyline beyond grow small in the dark distance. The white buildings whose lights had made the night bright for Q long time faded at last. A wind came up and with 1t there was Q touch of rain. She began to walk, around and around and around the deck. If she could grow tired she might be able to sleep. The or chestra had burst into Q swing" tune. The trumpet was improvis- ing as 1t flung its wild music down to the sea. She might have been dancing there, with Bob
 Marcia went downstairs, turned on the shower, let the icy needles fall across her 1.-the young body, put on the flesh-colored silk night gown with the real Chantilly lace, and climbed into bed. There was one time in the night that she wakened and thought she had been dreaming. She was in her room at home tomorrow was her wedding day .. she turned over sleepily. Then she heard bells ringing and remembered. Ships bells. She was sailing alone on her wedding nightl The tears that had been so far away all eve- ming came then in hot, swift storm. When they ceased she lay back, quiet at last. She slept un- til the stewardess called her in the morning.
 Perhaps Mademoiselle Will breakfast in bed?"
 Marcia stretched lazily. Why not? There was nothing for which to get up. Nothing. Her body was weak and tired, as though 1t could be moved only through supreme effort. Yet if she stayed in bed she would think.
 'T'm going to the dining room, thank you" she said.
 Half an hour later, dressed in a yellow flannel sports frock whose big wooden buttons match ed the brown of her polo coat and felt hat, she came into the dining room and sat down at her place at the first officers table. She was late and only two or three diners remained. She had sent a cable gram to her family and had paus- cd to watch the sunlight on the blue water. A man and woman at the table exchanged glances as Marcia was seated. She gazed at them curiously before she ordered a double orange juice, toast and bacon, and coffee.
 The ocean News" was by her plate and she picked it up. Funny

The ever present possibility Of
a raid on the Treasury of the
United States or attack upon the
White House is a tender subject
with Interior Secretary Harold L.
Ickes, who will move into $11,000,-
900 worth of new home in lower
Northwest Washington sometime
next year, he hopes.
1t is that possibility, along with
Army tradition, that threatens to
spoil the southern exposure view
from Mr.. Ickes' office windows in
the rising new Interior Depart
ment Building at Eighteenth and
c streets, N. w.
Presidents Own"
Because right below the Secre-
tary's windows will stand the un-
slightly home of Headquarters
Company, Sixteenth Brigade-the
domicile of some 300 enlisted men
and officers who make up the
army unit known as The Presi-
dents Own" Officially, and by
Army tradition, they are the force
held in readiness for emergencies
at the White House and Treasury.
AS such they require quarters
within short distance from their
wards.
Secretary Ickes wants the COM
pany evicted so workmen can de-
molish the shabby quarters they
now occupy. He would replace the
structure-a temporary building
constructed during the World War
with a tree and flower dotted
greensward. And to be in keeping
with his plans, the move and demo
lition would be effected imme-
diately.
When his anxiety over the un-
slightly view became known in
Army circles last week the Army
unit Immediately asked him, as
Public Works Administrator, to ap-
propriate funds for a new building,
and, as Secretary of Interior and
in charge of Government space al
lotment, to find them new quarters
within a short radius of the Ex-
ecutive Mansion) while their new
structure was being planned and
built.
Funds Are Lacking
Stumped by lack of funds on
the first request, he and his aides
have set about the task Of find
ing temporary quarters. Thus far

miniStration purse strings have

BOAT SERVICE
SCORED BY
CAPTAINS
BY J. EARLE MOSER

Sharp criticism of the Depart
Inent of Commences Steamboat
Inspection Bureau, particularly in
reference to the internal politics
which are charged as contributing
strongly to alleged inefficiency of
the unit, are reaching the ears
Of the officials in the Commerce
Building.
Criticism which hurts, from
qualified inland vessel command
ers whose teStimon carries
weight, is being received since the
bureau made newspaper front
pages by firing two of its high
ranking employees, Commander H.
Mccoy Jones and Frederick L.
Adams, without hearing, for IS
suing unauthorized" information
to the press that was termed i'm
mature, and incomplete" at Com
merce. They had said conditions
were bad.
The occurrence drew the spot
light Of publicity to the bureau,
and the Department of Commerce,
and has since drawn unfavorable
comment from Capitol Hill. Rev
elation that personnel conditions
governing Navigation and Steam
boat Inspection are inharmoniouS
has brought charges that the bu'
reau is failing to provide safety on
the vessels it is supposed to in
Spect.
From a licensed master and pi-
lot on the class of inland water
way boat supposed to be regularly
inspected by the Commerce unit,
comes this comment:
"If any of the higher-upS in
the Commerce Department wish
to verify Mr.. Jones' and Mr..
Adams report, all they need do
Is walk down to WaShingtOn'S
waterfront and they will find
there two steamers. One is 20
years old, the other Is.
"TheSe steamers are 800 feet
long and carry six lifeboats be-
sides a number of life RATS,
and they are allowed to carry
600 people including the crew.
The lifeboatS are carried three
on a side and all are located aft
Of midShip. In the event of fire
or other disaster aft of midShip
there is nothing to take off pas
sengerS and crew but 'carley'
RATS with a total capacity Of
about 1870 people. These RATS
have not been overlooked in 20
years and the boats are placed
90 close together that the crews
are in each others way in
launching them"
After pointing out that the
steamers in question have but one
Waterman to look after matters
each night, on a 13-hour stretch,
the captain concludes that the
Steamboat Inspection Bureaus
lacks are occurring almost with
in the shadow of Mr.. Roper'S
office"

However, because he realized
that such a measure would be re-

provision prohibiting any Federal
