 night later, as Judith prepared
 to leave New York, Marta called,
 suggested, Maybe I'd better run
 away"
 CHAPTER VT
 Marta, who had called Judith at midnight to make misplaced plea for sympathy, did not run away, nor did she need Judith's re- quest that she remain where she was to keep her there. She was at the couturier's the next afternoon, when Judith went in for last flt- ting on white crepe sports dress covered with luscious rosy straw berries. There was a brief, short sleeved rosy linen jacket with the dress. A brief green bolero adorned it. Judith had expected to wear it gaily through the summer months. Now it was just something else to take along to Reno.
 The day went swiftly. She dressed in black, woolen suit, thin and cool, that fastened with patent leather chessmen. A shiny black sailor tipped rakishly over her right eye and saved itself from severity with a single white gardenia. She picked up her summer foxes and carried them. She had lunch with Anne, in the dining room at Pierres, that topped the hotel and let Gen. tral Park spread out below. She told her only that she was going to Reno.
 Don't be fool" Anne said. ssMen get this way and get over 1t. Phil's a dear and much too nice to fling to that lioness npink crepe. It's Marta, isn't it, he wants?"
 "He thinks Martas wooly lamb" Judith answered, relieved that Anne had guessed without making it necessary to mention Marta's name. You don't know Phil as I do, my dear! No matter what Marta does he'll forgive her and love her for it. She's a damsel in distress and the wolves are hot on her trail. was too poised, too unneedful of him, I guess" she laughed ruefully. "Oh I needed him, but didn't let him know that I wanted to cling. I thought he would hate it. I know better now. He would have loved it. But-Anne, keep an eye on Phil, won't you? l must run along now, Anne. Goodby, daplinp Write to me"
 She went back to the apartment later to complete her packing. Milli- cent called and asked If she might come over For 8 little while. She came, tossing her big straw hat on . table, and crossing her legs under her as she sat on an enormous cushion.
 Suddenly she said: "Judith, may [ go with you9"
 Too wise to ask questions, Judith nodded.
 "I'm a consummate fool" Milli- cent said. "The shows closing in another week or maybe would not have courage to do this. I want to get away from Bruce. I seem to love him and he doesn't love me. He's been honest-and yet I don't know. Maybe he does and won't acknowledge it. can stay here and get all cantankerous worrying about the phone ringing, and whether he'll be here and there, and get my heart ground to a pulp if his name gets tangled up with somebody else's in the tabloids-or, I can go away! At least I won't be expecting to see him."
 "I'm glad you are coming, Milly. You're wise for your years. Young people grow up so much more easily today" said Judith. She for got that she had known this lesson. After all, she had acted on instinct,

SOME FAMOUS DIAMONDS

The diamond is the birthstone of those
born in April, according to modern usage,
although the ancients assigned the sap
phire to that month. The fact is that dia-
monds, cut and polished as we know them,
were unknown prior to about 1476. when
this method of bringing out their beauty
was discovered ''s
One of the most valuable diamonds in
the world is the Regent or Pitt stone, found
in India by slave and sold to an English
sea captain for small sum in 17O1. The
following year it was bought by Mr. Pitt,
governor of Madras, for about 100000.
Fifteen years later Pitt sold it to the regent
Duke of Orleans for Louis XIV of France
for S648,000 1t subsequently adorned
the hilt of the sword worn by Napoleon l,
and is now preserved among the national
jewels of France. It's present value is esti-
mated at more than $2,O0O,00O.
Among other diamonds of great value
and interesting history are the OrIoff,
which was set in the scepter of the Car
OF RUSSIA, having been purchased by Count
Orloff for the Empress Catherine in 1772;
the k0h-i-noor, which an East Indian
legend declares was worn by native hero
5000 years ago, and which now belongs to
Me BrtislEcrown
- The larHest diamond ever found was
the Cullinan, discovered in South Africa in
1905, weighing 1924 carats, or more than
pound and quarter. 1t was presented
to King Edward and cut up, being now
among the crown jewels in the Tower of
London
1t may be mentioned that the South
African diamond fields, which supply
more than 95 per cent of the worlds out
put, were discovered in 1866, when child
picked up a stone weighing Fl carats,
which was sold in the rough for $2,50O

LABOR MUST REGARD AGREEMENTS

Labor, if it is to retain public support,
must learn to keep its agreements with
employers.
AS general rule this has been done
Responsible labor leaders have not hest
tated to exert pressure upon workers to
carry out obligations. However, there is
evidence that some of the sit-down strikes
have been staged in disregard of express
ed agreements and this is bad for work
ers, whether the violation comes from UNI
controlled groups or not.
We do not hesitate to proclaim our
sympathy with the aspiration of labor
leaders to improve the condition of labor
ers generally but this does not mean a
blanket endorsement of any methods
adopted. Moreover, we can sympathize
with the point made by Mr.. Chrysler who
argued that it was useless to make an
agreement with a union that cannot. con-
troll its members and prevent them from
unauthorized strikes.
Laborers should not fail to under
stand thesIogicr behind this statement 1t
is unanswerable. The basis of negotia-
tons with union, whether C. l. o. or A
F. of L., is the power of union officials to
speak for their members and to secure the
executes Of any pact that is made. 1t is
distinctly to the interest of the workers
to see that is the case.

WHAT HER LIPS TELL

If a man wants to know what kind of
wife a girl will make he need only to
study her lips, according to Lillian Rosine,
an expert in making up the faces of movie
stars at major Hollywood studio.
She describes various types and their
significance but doesn't give the poor
male much comfort in doing so. Anyway,
this is her analysis:
Thin, straight lips pressed close to-
gether-"you'll never win an argument
from her,
The rosebud mouth, praised by poets
you'll never have your own way. She
will pout until you give in"
Full, rounded lips" lovely, but don't
forget that other men think so, too If you
are the jealous type, avoid this girl"
Lips that curve down at the corners
-"she can't take joke. Move your
things into the doghouse. You'll be there
most of the time
These, said Miss Rosine, are infallibe
signals. But girls are clever They dis
guise the shape of the mouth so nicely
with little touch of makeup that men are
at disadvantage. They take them,
literally, at face value. It's a sad thing"

generally disapproved by the coun-
try. Il is a revival Of the notion that
the best and wisest way of dealing
with any economic problem is by
arbitrary governmental regulation.
backed UP by the heavy club Of PEN
atty taxation.
The soft coal industry is an excel
lent field for the application Of some
elementary economic common sense.
This is a job for the federal govern
ment, but il must be said that the
Guffey-Vinson bill contains no gliTn-
mer Of this sensible solution. Specific
proposals will be made in later arti-
Gle. At this time the shortcomings Of
the pending legislation require atten-
ton.
The fatal sickness of the soft coal
industry is a simple case of relative
reproduction. The capacity to
produce coal has gone up while the
demand for this fuel has gone down.
Oil and hydro-electric power have
cut deeply into the former soft coal
market. Ironically, the federal gov
eminent has helped to destroy the
coal miners business by its activity
in developing water power and by
its zeal in urging private interests to
do likewise.
The basic reason for low wages in
the coal industry is the low price OF
coal, and the only way to raise the
price of coal is to produce less of 1t.
A minimum price order will not in
crease either the demand for coal or
its consumption. On the contrary, this
price may be set high enough to in
duce still more extensive resort to
substitute sources of power. That ii
will be a fairly high price may be
assumed from the fact that the. regu-
latory commission also has power to
set minimum wages. This coTnbina-
ton of wage and price theory is char

acteristic Of the economic thinking
of both the labor organizations and
the regulatory commissions.
What will be the result Of such
procedure?
First, every soft coal mine operator
In the United States win be ordered
to pay at least certain wages and to
charge at least certain prices. Under
these conditions the industry viii
continue to produce more c0al than
IS wanted or can be sold. The bill
does not authorize the commission to
order mines to be closed or kept open.
Since the most fundamental purpose
OF the measure is to restore employ
nent and set wages. we may cona-
IDENTIFY assume strong official pressure
in favor of general operation.
Second. the losses under such .
policy will be extensive. particularly
for those mines that have the highest
operating costs or that are least ac-
cessible to market. As yet. the gov
eminent cannot compel railroads.
steamships. factories and home own
ers to return to soft coal for fuel and
power purposes. Therefore. as pro-
duction continues. large surplus
stocks of coal will accumulate. II the
operators seek to meet such con-
dition by closing down. the minimum
wage regulation becomes futile and
the program breaks down as device

the mining industry.
Third, the governments past rec
ord in other fields provides precedent
for a policy of dealing with such a
situation by paying certain operators
not to produce or by substituting their
operations to a degree that viii cover
their losses from dumping the excess
production at home or abroad. This

comes in the soft coal industry to
parity with incomes in other fields.
The Guffey-Vinson bill does not
contemplate subsidy. but this is
because its authors have not yet
come the kind of unsound economics
that is al the bottom of such scheme.
It is obvious that this plan. APP
proved by the House without even
the formality of record vote. solves
nothing. cures nothing, accomplishes
nothing. Nevertheless. such an ira
tional undertaking is beset by numer-
Gus legal and even constitutional diff
ficulties. Since this measure repre-
sents the kind Of new economic pro-
gram toward which we seem now to
be moving. it is easier. in the light of
il, to understand the Presidents i1sis-
tence on Supreme Court that will
not undertake to override legislative
policy. The more questionable is this
policy. the greater is the temporary
tactical advantage of shielding it from
critical examination.
