ANOTHER DAY

Mrs. O'Connor said through the door
in a thin, pleased voice, wanted her
on the telephone. She slipped on a

teen-age girls. -.
Carol threw up her hands. "Mr.
Williams! We teach those same
girls all week long, and we all need
a rest from each other. For good
ness sake have a hearth"
He looked surprised and rather
pleased. 1t was obviously the first
time anybody had laughed in his
face in church and begged him to
have a heart, and he enjoyed the
sensation. He became almost arch.
Il hadn't thought of that. Since
you put it up to me like that, I'll
leave you in peace"
Were they comfortably situated?
Mr.. Hudson asked solicitously. They
said they were, and made an es.
cape.
A FAILING sun made long, thin
L = shadows on the eighteenth fair
way. Carol sat and watched the
shadows, and swung her legs in the
clear green water of the swimming
pool.
This pool is a gift straight from
heaven. You didn't have it four years
ago: how'd you acquire it in a de-
pression?"
Ben was lying on his stomach, alb
sorbing the last rays Of the sun. He
grimaced. 1T was built right after
you left. when they still called the
late unpleasantness a Temporary
FURRY. The only reason we've still
got it is because it's practically i'm
possible to repossess a swimming
pool.
Thank goodness for that" She
stretched and got up reluctantly.
Much as l hate it, I'll have to go.
We eat supper at six o'clock"
ooh, that's all right. Well get

I'D better tread lightly, and take
my dissipation in a more private
place, thanks. It's been heavenly,
Ben"
He grunted and got up. ooh, all
right. And while think of it, there's
a dance Friday night. Go with me?"
She nodded. "Of course" A dance
would be something to cling to dur
ing this first crucial week.

an increased trade demand at about
the 11A-cent level and closed few
points up from the lowest.
The failure Of the official forecast
to held out any promise Of rains in
the drought sections was a disap-
pointment to some of the earlier
sellers and appeared to lead to some
covering or rebuying in late trading.
Otherwise the market seemed to be
without much support, except for the

BONDS co HIGHER
IN BRIEF SESSION.
General List Benefited by
Overnight BuIIish News
Reports.
BY G.. A. PHILLIPS,
lssociated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, August 22.-The bond
market turned higher in today's brief
session following Fridays general
decline.
Gains Of small fractions to more
than a point were well distributed
among all corporate groups, with
some of the convertibles that lost
heavily in the preceding session re-
gaining about half.
United States Governments were
quiet, but likewise on the advancing
side. Treasury 27ss of 1855 closed
$50 of a point higher and gains Of
1872 to 1892 were in the majority
elsewhere. Guaranteed obligations
were about stationary.
The abrupt turnabout in sentiment
followed overnight publication of the
views of Thomas Lamont of j. p.
Morgan & Co. on the European situ-
alton, which revealed his conclusion
that there would be no war. Also Of
help was a sizable number of open
buying orders that had been placed
under the market in anticipation of a
setback.
Allis Chalmers As, which dropped 2
points in the sell-off Friday, gained
to close at 152, Studebaker IS ended
81 higher at 1852, and rises of frac-
tions to a point or more were regis
tered by Baltimore g. Ohio convertible
41as, Illinois Central 434s, Interna-
tional Telephone 4l2s, Lehigh Valley
Is and Southern Pacific 41as.
Chesapeake Corp. SIS continued
backward, losing points at 148.
Others on the offside were Pan-Amer-
lean Petroleum IS, Richf1eld Oil Is
and American g. Foreign Power IS.
Foreign bonds were quiet and
showed little change. Denmark 4Eas
lost a fraction aud Italian rs and
Toxic Light IS closed unchanged.
Sales of all bonds totaled $3,592 900,
par value, compared with S3,616,000
last Saturday.
The Associated Press averages
ranged from an advance Of 2 of a

CONSERVATION OFFICIALS
PLAN MEET IN MAY

Conservation officials of Maryland
and Virginia will meet at Old Point
May II, IL and IL to discuss agree
ments for control of the seafood in
dustry of the Chesapeake Bay.
The conference was suggested by
Richard Armstrong, Virginia Commits
sioner of Fisheries. The Maryland
Conservation Commission held it's
weekly meeting last Thursday and
agreed to accept Armstrong; invita-
ton.
Chief of the problems to be discuss
ed is that of agreements for the con-
servation of the bays crab supply.
The recent hard winter killed thous-
ands of crabs and conservation Off
Gals of the two states feel that steps
should be taken to conserve the re-
naming supply.
1t has been proposed that Virginia
prohibit the taking Of sponge crabs
crabs bearing eggs-and that Mary
land prohibit the taking of crabs dur
ing November this year. The mating
season is in the fall and adoption of
the two suggestions would allow the
female crab to spawn unmolested.

COMMISSIONERS ACTION
FORFEIT STATE FUNDS

The County Commissioners of Som
crset County voted Tuesday to not
Immediately appropriate any money
for aid to dependent children, altho'
they were informed that their action
would forfeit State funds, available
for spending in that county.
After a rather stormy session, the
board took its decision by vote of
2 to 1. w. c. Ford, Westover, presi-
dent of the board, was the commits
sioner who favored the appropriation.
The two members who opposed it
are L. Cooper Die and Frank Porter

with the State was that Somerset

structure was caused by difficulties
experienced in fixing a wage scale to
govern employment on the project, it
was explained. A hearing to fix the
wage scale was held few weeks ago.
Plans call for the razing of large
part of the existing structure, with
the erection of a larger two-story
building. The ends of the building
will be extended "a feet in each direc-
ton, and the rear will be extended
nearly to Water Street A new en-
trance will be built on Court street,
near Main.
The second floor will have Is Of
flee rooms, and a Civil Service ex-
animation room, together with other
facilities.
All new work on the building will
be required to harmonic with old
portions which are left standing. New
marble chip floors will be laid in the
lobby, which will be heightened and
widened.
Congress has appropriated $195,000
for the post-office enlargement. The
building when completed will house
all governmental offices there and
give greatly enlarged space for hand
ling the mail.
It is believed that temporary quar-
ters for the building will not be Sc
lected until the contract is awarded
for the construction. Two bids have
been submitted for a temporary site.

folk, according to action taken at a
meeting in Richmond last week of the
party's state central committee.
AS forecast, Representative Clifton
E. Woodruff, of Roanoke was chosen
to deliver the keynote address at the
state convention. His selection was
unanimous. He has been an ardent
supporter of President Roosevelt and
the administrators policies and is
expected to deliver a rousing Grafton
in behalf of the Presidents campaign
for reelection.
The state committee fixed as the
basis of representation in the state
convention one delegate for each 100
votes or fraction of SO and over cast
for President Roosevelt in Virginia in
j32.
To be named at the Norfolk conven-
ton will be delegates to the Demo-
cratic national convention to be held
in Philadelphia, presidential electors,
national committeeman, national
