Roosevelt's reelection would make the
unionization Of the mills certain!"
And the men in the mills want the
union! It almost invites physical as
sault to say that to the business lead
ers Of Pittsburgh, but 1t happens to be
true. Whether the prospective advance
In wages and other concessions given

union drive remains to be seen. The
situation as it stands is quite plain;
The men want the union. They think

Prowling through the steel towns,

from politicians and industrial lead
ers whose views knew, encountered
one or two workers who questioned
the wisdom Of the Roosevelt policies,
one who was for Landon, and one
who said he would vote "for Thomas

the fence or for Roosevelt.

And that, in view of more than one
neutral and Roosevelt partisan, is
exactly what Lewis wantS-the thing
he is trying to do in putting on his

followed iron and steel for 20 years,

"Helen hasn't the homemaking
instinct" Evelyn always said.
But seeing the furniture out on
the sidewalk the three-piece
Chesterfield set, the four-piece
bedroom set, the battered table, the
few odd chairs and Juniors crib
and pen-she felt little ashamed
Of herself.
Perhaps, if she hadn't belittled
Helen, Dorathea wouldn't have
got the idea that she wasn't good
enough for Bennie. And seeing
the cheap, shabby things that had
been all Helen had ever had, out
there in the bright autumn sun
so forlorn, so friendlesS-a lump
rose in her throat.
But she hadn't long to worry
about it, for hardly was the blue
van out Of sight, when yellow
van drove up, jammed to the roof
with the Lyons household effects.
Soon the five little rooms that
50 recently were Helen's were
jammed with Edith's heavy, worn
things. For days Edith and Anne
labored to cover the sofa and two
threadbare chairs with the green
velour drapes that had hung in
the windows Of the larger apart
ment they had left.
Evelyn went down to help and
came back in a huff because Edith
said that no one could do it as we'll
as Anne, and besides it was such
fun that they had hated to share
1t, even with Evelyn.
"Such fun! Such rubbish! Does
she think I believe such rot?
Imagine trying to fool me-her
own sister. AS. if I didn't know
they were doing it because Ellerys
sat holes in them and they haven't
q nickel to spend on anything new.
Imagine, trying to fool ME!"
"All the Faileys fool them
Selves" Dorathea said.
"I know one that does! Think
ing that Helen Rogers is going to
get a divorce, just because she's
going to Reno because her family
lives there. And for that matter,
how do you know she went at all?
Because Bennie says so! Yes, and
he says more than his prayers,
that one. For all you know she's
living with him now!"
Dorathea Just laughed. Kind Of
crowded if she is. There are three
fellows-to my certain knowledge
and there's just wall bed and
the Chesterfield. But I suppose
they could hang the baby from the
chandelier, and put Junior in the
bathtub."
"All right. But it's no laughing
matter, and I don't see how you
can laugh about it, either"
IT may as well laugh as cry.

anything, because I knew the fuss
you'd make, but I'm through Sat

HIGHWAY WORK
DeIaware'S Five Mile Section

About Completed
so MILLION DOLLAR ROAD

The last section of the present
dual highway program of the state
highway department, a fve-mile
section between Glasgow Station
and the Maryland-Delaware line, is
nearing completion. Contractors
have poured all of the 22-foot wide
concrete dual lane except eight
tenths of a mile Immediately this
side of the Maryland state line.
This last section of the dual high
way, which will complete the orig
inal plan for the dual highways for
Delaware, the DUPONT Boulevard,
from Wilmington to Dover and the
Glasgow Road from State Road to
/ the Maryland state line, will be
ready for use by Labor Day, Sep
tember Z, E. E. Downing, division
engineer for the highway depart
ment for New Castle County, said
last week. The laying of concrete
for the last stretch of the Glasgow
dual highway to the state line will
be finished next week if weather
permits. There is additional work
of making the shoulders, planting
grass, constructing crossovers and
cutters to drain outlets before the
road can be opened. In the mean
time Maryland is reaching toward
the Delaware line with its new
highway provided for by a $780,
100000 appropriation made by the
Maryland Legislature last year.
The Maryland highway is finished
from Baltimore to Bel Air but it
will not be completed to the Della
ware line for two years. The dual
highway system of Delaware, when
the Glasgow Road is completed,
will be approximately 81 miles
long, consisting of As miles from

tensive readjustments of livestock
numbers and of feeding practices.
The greatest shortage of feed
grains will be in corn, the total
supply of which will be less than
in 1884, and the e reatest readjust-
ments in numbers of livestock will
be in hogs, which are almost de-
pendent upon corn supplies" The
crop board forecast total wheat

compared with 623 ,444 900 bushels
harvested last year. Spring wheat

bushels, barley at 145,0O0,0 900 and
grain sorghums at 81 900, ,00O-all
very light crops-total production
of the four feed grains, including
corn, was expected to total about
58,OO0,0 900 tons. This would be
about per cent more than the
final harvest of 1884, but about 81
per cent less than in any other re-
