merely added to the confusion over
the situation, since the newspapers
carrying the reports stood pat on
their veracity.
The industries now involved in the
dispute over the Walsh-Healey act are
no more favorable to the resumption
of MIRA conditions and the whole
situation is expected to have the at
tention of leaders shortly.
Only the General Motors Truck
Company openly exhibited opposition
to the Walsh-IIealey act requirements
but merely by deleting with the use
of heavy red crayon the provision
in the proposal blank reading "the

There was no explanation of this ac-
ton accompanying the bid, but it
was said to be self-evident what the
company intended to convey.
Corbitt's Bid
The Corbitt company, of Hender-
son, was the only bidder proposing
to supply all II of the required trucks
today. The company quoted $1,526.26
per unit, or $18315.12, f. 0. b. ship
ping point, for the entire lot. An al
ternate bid, for delivery of the trucks
at Ithaca, N. Y, was $1,616.26 each, or
$19,395.12 for the II trucks. These
prices are subject to a discount of
one-tenth fone per cent for cash in
! 10 days.
| The bid of the International Har-
vester company, Chicago, submitted
by it's Washington manager, R. M .
Eaves, was 81 ,191 each, of $9,528 for
the eight trucks the. company was
willing to supply. The proposal en-
phasized the fact that it covered f.
o. b. shipping point for eight units
only, and would not promise delivery
to any destination. A discount of
$15 per truck if payment is made
within 80 days was offered.
General Motors Truck Company bid
only for the supply of seven trucks
at $1,232.O5 each, or $862434 for the
lot, +. Q. b., Pontiac, Mich. An al
ternate bid for Ithaca delivery was
$l,58l.17, or $8,868.19 for the lot. The
prices are net
The bid of the REQ Motor Car
company quoted $9,69456 for the sup
ply Of eight trucks, which would be
at the rate of $1,21182 each, with dis
count OF $25 each if payment is made
within 70 days. Delivery is to be
made from Lansing, Mich, no alter

in Ithaca
Responsible government officials
today were revealed considering
whether there are any legal inhibi-
tlons to a ruling under the Walsh
Healey act that the total amount of
an offering shall be held to govern
the bids Hereunder. For instance, if
the offering totaled $4,000, a bid for
less than $4,000 would still be held

Problem Is Discussed
How to cope with this situation
was the question presented to the
procurement division today In the
case of the tractors, the offer was
withdrawn because II is said, it had
been decided to make other arrange
ments for acquiring the machines.
In the case of the automobile trucks
in today's opening of bids, it was too
plainly indicated that the practice
would spr cad and that the issue
would have to be met at once. The
government officials already have
heard from the textile industry-that
it would be included to absent itself
from bid openings if brought under
the Walsh-Healey law

Washington, Oct 2O-The reluct-

to seek government contracts in ex-

cation thereto of the restrictions of
the WalSh-Healey act, and the deter
mination of government officials to

self the privilege 0 fbidding for gov
eminent contracts because of the re-
strictions, or to rearrange it's bust
ness practices in conformity with the
law precedent to accepting a govern
Ment contract in excess of $4,000.
It is admitted that there may be
some requirements of the government
that will run beyond plant capacity
of a single unit, more perhaps because
of the entrance of time element in
needed delivery. The government it
self then would have to divide up the
offer so that two or more concerns
could participate.
The desire appears to be, however,
to close the door to the acceptance
of the partial" bids, particularly
when such proposals are in tended to
circumvent the Walsh-Healey act. 1t
is expected that the procurement di-
vision will rule that bidders may not
so alter proposals to suit their own
convenience.
Showdown In Prospect
1t is agreed that whatever steps
ministration of the Walsh-F1ealey act
will tend to increase the cost of gov
eminent operation and lessen the
available sources Of supply of merch-
andise and equipment desired by the
administration.
A showdown is in prospect, and
this is given added emphasis, it was
remarked here today, by what is con-
sidered to be the inadvertent discos-
ure by James Roosevelt, son of the
President, that the latter has in mind
appealing to the country later on for
support of a constitutional amend
ment that would restore something
in the nature Of MIRA to the statute
books, safe from invalidation by the
United States Supreme court.

AliX Carey earns a promotion in the

est of John Sayre, young president OF

Coming to New York following her
parents death. she has made close
friends of Kathleen Crosby and her
cousin Kim Preston, AliX and Sayre
begin to mix business and pleasure.
She sees him frequently and begins to
care for him deeply but suspects he is

while Alix entertains Bill Boyd, her
old sweetheart. who is visiting New
York. Suddenly offered a better posi-
ton elsewhere. Alx discusses it with
John. Kim proposes to Alix but she
puts him off and then John tells her
he is falling in love. She is amazed
when Garcia displays bracelet that
John had shown Alix in his Office.
John cannot understand why Alix' S
feelings towards him have changed.
A few weeks later she agrees to marry
Kim. Then she realizes that her best
friend. Kathleen, is in love with Kim.

Kim was startled by this different Alix.

You are selfish. Not Intentionally

realize all the things people have
given you that you depend on.

He opened his mouth to protest.
Alix hurried on:
IT don't think you're very right
about love either. From all you've
said, I believe that you deny its
very existence. There is such
thing! It goes with wanting to be
with someone, to hold that persons
hand but it's more than that
it's wanting to do something foe
that person, to give everything
you've got. It's having a feeling
in your heart that hurts and still
you don't mind. It's an ecstacy
so big that it aches because the
heart isn't big enough to hold it."

This is ridiculous. I've never
known any girl well except Kath-
leen."
Alix permitted Kathleen's name
to lie there between the two OF
them on a long silence.
Kim thought she was being
feminine. He supposed that all
lovers had quarrels, that all girls
had doubts because they wanted
to be assured.

things l said liked about you.

you. :"

her hips, a new, thoughtful ex-
preston on her face.
II don't believe you," he said
after a little pause. He was
startled by this different Alix.
Perhaps I can convince you"
she said with a crooked smile.
She thought she had found the
way to prove to Kim that he didn't
want her.

CHAPTER "a

ALIX LOOKED at Kim Preston
steadily when he said that he
would not release her from her
promise to marry him. She saw
the steely light in his eyes so like
her own; the obstinate set of his
jaw and the straight line of his
mouth.
No good to try to explain to
him then.
No good to try to explain to him
later. She tried.
Alix didn't quite know how she
was going to tell Kim. She had
no right to tell him that Kathleen
loved him. If he was so blind that
he couldn't see it and Kathleen
would not tell him herself, Alix
could not do it.
She might have told him that
she believed him when he said he
didn't ask for a great deal of love.
That that was the reason why she
said she would marry him when
she knew that she loved another
man hopelessly and forevermore,
but that she believed time would
dull the sharp edges Of her pain
and she would be able to give Kim
all that he asked.
If only she could tell him that!
She couldn't because it might
hurt him. He might misunder-
stand, think she had exploited him
and Alix was too vain-as all girls
are in such matters-to have him
go out Of her life thinking ill of
her.
She might lie to him now, lie to
him to make him feel happier-by
telling him that she didn't think
she'd make him happy, by gently
pointing out the contrast between
herself and Kathleen.
! Then, she discarded the whole
idea. There was only one thing to
do and that was to be honest, to
tell the truth and hope it would
work out.
The thing that was to defeat her
began then.
A psychologist would call it ar
inferiority complex. No one who
ever knew Alix would have called
1t that. Or even known about it.
Whatever went on in her heart or
her mind during that period in her
life, she kept to herself.
Alone. She had been so much
alone. She had had so much love,
devotion and security when she
was a child. Dora and Felix had
made it a complete world. And
then they were gone and Alix was
alone. Alix who was sensitive.
who was helpless to protect her.
self from the inevitable ravages of
her aloneness, the lack of a strong
shoulder to lay her head on, a ma
ture ear to listen to the things that
circled her mind endlessly and
found no release.
There was no one now to saw.
"Alix, what's happened to you is
not unusual. The world is full of
women whove found love and lost
1t. 1t doesn't mean that you are
any less worthy, less lovely. 1t
doesn't mean that there is any,
thing about you that isn't fine"
There were other things a wiser,
older person might have told Alix,
have pointed out the errors she
had made and turned her back to
her first, right path.
But there was no one and she
went ON alone.
John Sayre was in England. She
hadn't heard from him since that
night when she had allowed him to
think that Bill Boyd had come into
her life Importantly. That WA

Wilbert Wright, Otis Woodland,

John Williams is the clubs long
est driver. When Mr.. Williams is
really seeking them they travel
about 275 yards.
Who said they don't come back ?

game was really bad at the earlier

They say w. Squire Neal is back
from "Chi" with a brand new set
of clubs. Well, Mr.. Neal, there are
several gentlemen who have been
anxiously awaiting your return
now let's see what the "Pros" down
in the Windy City have done for
you.
The club has secured the service
of Raymond Wright as an in
structor. Mr.. Wright is well known
around the Twin Cities for his play
in caddy tournaments, having won
one in 1929.
Heard that "Pat" Ball, the lead
ing colored "Pro" in and around
"Chi," will again play in the Keller
open this summer. Mr.. Ball played
in the st. Paul tournament in 1884,
and would have been trouble for
some of the leading "Pros" had it
not been for a disastrous first
round. Should he come, our people
should surely support him, because
he certainly knows his A B C's on
the golf course.
Emmett Galloway tells me he is
going to wait until the weather is
really warm before he plays-well
just wait until the well known
"golf bug" nibbles this fellow
know him.

time.
