thought.

be as out of place ashore as the Kid
here is on board ship!" But Chips
paid no further attention. He was
thinking, assuring himself that he
was, actually, bit insane to con-
| tinue at sea.
What could be better than to have
a safe haven where he could do as
he wished, where when he went to
bed at night he could expect to wake
up normally. instead of going over the
side of a sinking vessel in the middle
of the night? Treason to his ideals
| it might be, but it was the most prac-
! tical thing to do! Old fool, indeed!
He'd show them that he had some
sense left!
! THE three shipwrecked sailors stood
u respectfully in the masters cabin
of the ship which had rescued them
from their insecure raft some hours
past. The captain looked up from en-
tering some information in the ships
log. You men have been fed and
have had some sleep?" he questioned.
"Aye. sir!" The captain inspected
the three as they stood there in their
odd assortment of borrowed clothing.

you intend to do after you are put
ashore? 1 suppose you will need jobs.
and perhaps I can find something for
you to do
Chip felt the eyes of bis companions
upon him, and he remembered his re-
solve to quit the trade of the seaman.
IF you could find us something to
do ashore. sir, we would certainly ap-
preciate it."
Had enough shipwreck to last you
for a while?" the captain chuckled.
An uneasy feeling stirred in the back
| Of Chips consciousness. 1t appeared
that the captain was skeptical of his
courage, or failed to see him for what
he was, salt of the old, hard school.
But he couldn't back down on his
statement before these two, even if he
| did want to, which he assured himself
! he didn't.
ANY sort of job ashore would be
welcome" he forced himself to reply,
as spokesman for the three.
"Ill see what I can do with the dock
foreman" the captain promised. The
| three thanked him and saluted.
At the door Chips paused. Making
sure that his companions were out of
earshot. he grinned. Unless you know
of a ship that needs carpenter, sir

The question was purely academic.
Chips afforded himself the doubtful
pleasure of a glance at his sole pos

and canvas shoes he wore, the woolen
jersey.

STOCKS REGISTER
IRREGULAR TONE
Prices Indecisive Except for
Few Shares With BuIliSh
Following.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 4.-The action
of the stock market this week was
something of a compromise In the
face of conflicting underlying condi-
tions.
Prices moved indescisively, barring
q few shar-~ s!1ich enjoyed the at
tention of q pur1ishly inclined follow
ing. In stch groups as steels, farm
equipments and mail orders the
trend was down, although some recov-
cry was noted as trading neared the
start of the holiday suspension yes
terday.
Trade News Favorable.
Trade news of itself was favorable
enough to satisfy the most ardent
bull. But there was also before the
market for consideration the question
of how severely business might be
affected later in the year by reason
for the long continued drought in i'm
portant areas of the Spring wheat
belt and also in some sections of the
cotton belt.
Another factor making for a minor
degree of anxiety was the announce
ment of the American Iron and Steel
Institute outlining the industrys posi-
ton in connection with the expected
drive for unionization of employees.
This was widely interpreted in flnan-
cial circles as an admission that the
producers we're fearful Of conflict
Of sufficient proportions to interfere
with mill operations.

CANADA HALTS
PENSION MOVE.
Controlled Initiation Plan
Is Killed in Commons
Without Vote
BY ALEX JhNUSITIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

OTTAWA, Ont, March II.
OUP)-Canada's nearest counter
part to the Townsend Plan in the
United States, grandoisc pro-
poSal to retire "all citizens" at
the age of 60 on pension of $50
a month and give their jobs to
younger men, is receiving scant
support from responsible MEM
bcrs of Parliament.
The scheme was introduced re-
Gently in the House of Commons
by Abraham Heaps, C.C.F., men,
Der for North Winnipeg. but it
fell before the criticisms of an
unsympathctic House and was
thrown out without even the GUS
tomary vote.
Heaps painted rather des-
pairing future for a man in Can
ada who attains the age of GO in
sponsoring the plan. He said, in
effect, that in this rushing, strug-
Cling, competitive age, when a man
gets to be SO he is on the down
grade with a precarious hold upon
his job; when he reaches 60 his
position is nearly hopeless"
Heaps proposed, therefore, that
adequate l. ctiring allowances
should be provided for all men
and women who wanted to retire
voluntarily at 60, so they can live
the rest of their lives without fl
nancial worries. As they went in
to retirement others would move
into their jobs and be absorbed in
the industrial structure Of the ma
ton. The unemployment problem
thus would be solved, he argued.
He estimated that more than
$40, 900 persons in Canada would
be eligible for the pension and
suggested that an allowance of
$50 month for men and $50 IA
month for women should be pro-
vidcd. The cost would be approx
imately $50O,O00,000 year.
Heaps proposed to finance the
scheme by limited form of con-
trollcd initiation, based on the
natural resources of the country.
He declared there was adequate
food. clothing and shelter in Can
ada, and it. was only a question of
making il available.
Leaders of the various parties
in the House. however. were skep-
tica1 over the, feasibility Of the
scheme and after prolonged de-
bate it was ruled out of order by
the speaker.
r. B. Bennett, leader of the
Conservative opposition and for
mer prime minister, who promised
during the last election campaign
to consider Il contributing pen
sion scheme if he was reelected,
opposed the plan on the grounds
that as presented by Heaps it was
unconstitutional.
