Mr.. Pincus, 50 she did not regret his leaving,
but she was sorry she had oversight her alarm
that morning, gulped her coffee and rushed
to work without fixing her hair properly.
After piling her belongings into a large
Upper bag she kept at hand for emergencies,
she went down the corridor to the Rest Room,
where she did the best she could with her hair
and put on ueditable morning makeup"
The door of Room Two, Bungalow G was
ajar, 50 she pushed it wide open and went in.
A man was lying on the couch with his very
long legs pulled up like giant grasshopper's.
He had thick, wavy black hair, in need of
barber, high, narrow forehead and long
nose with bump on it. His ears stuck out
like signal flags. He was reasonably young.
His coat lay on the floor beside the couch One

IF you are Mr. Lattimer," said Geraldine,
Il am your secretary"
The effect of her announcement was pecu-

''You are writer" stated Geraldine as one
speaks to small child, 80 you must have
secretary, and have dictionary in my bag"
She hung up her hat, placed her bag upon
the typewriter desk and smiled pleasantly at
the young man.
But MIR. Lattimer was working himself into
rage
"You can't move in on me, he shouted.
Geraldine seated herself at the desk. Il was
ordered to report to you,' she said firmly.
Mr. Lattimer limped forward, long fore
finger pointed at her.
Listen he demanded Il can't work with
anybody round. type my own stuff. Please
get out"
Geraldine was thinking of her job If she
were rejected by Lattimer she might be laid
off for weeks.
She gave him devastating smile. "Just
consider me as part of the furniture" she
suggested. Take off your other shoe and your
shirt In hot weather some of our best writer's
work in shorts"
He leaned over the desk His eyes we're wild.
Il am man, he said tensely, who is in no
need of secretary. Scram!'
Geraldine gazed at him defiantly: 'Iwon't"
she asserted. $50 there"
He thrust his hands through his thick black
hair He walked the floor, limping on account
of having only one shoe on. Finally he turned
and grinned at her fendishly and commanded,
Take letter"
Geraldine dimpled and looked very COM

Solomon Rosenbloom, President of Mann

Pittsburh, Sept. 2O-Ray Sprigle, the farmer from Moon township who broke the news story of the year when he wrote @ series of articles exposing Justice Hugo l.. Blacks connection with the Ku Klux Klan, is an old newspaperman from way back-and something of a politician, too.
 Sprigle is 6l, smokes corncob pipe and wears a broad-brimmed hat winter and summer He has @ l03"acre farm on the outskirts of PittSburg, and often rusticates there.
 But that's where looks are de- ceiving. Sprigle is one of those born reporters who aren't happy unless they are digging out some hard-to- get story. For many years he was citV editor of big-city daily paper, buG even in that job he liked to go out and get stories.
 One time he posed as an indigent rheumatic, gut himself admitted to the city hospital, and came out a weOi later to write series of stories exposing how the patients were fed NklQ LIGhVGUs kAklOVAACA VAAA4C tAS & JSH as coal miner during astrike.
 Sprigle deserted newspaper work for four years to take Q political job. He was county property and sup plies director, and as such he got into the papers frequently. One time he tried to shoo starlings away from the courthouse with Roman candles; another time he made headlines by shutting of the purchase of bills which, he charged, were being used by county employees to cure hang overs. still another tome he broke up e meeting of the county com missioners by absently knocking coals from his conrcob into waste- basket and starting fire.
 Except for that four-year absence, he has been in newspaper work ever since he left Ohio State uni- versity-under duress, he says. He has worked on newspapers in Col umbus, st. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Lansing, Michp Canton, o. Little Rock, Arkr and Pittsburg.
 Going down to Birmingham to dig up the stories on Justice Black took Sprigle away from Pittsburg just at the wrong time. He was soundly beaten for the Republican nomina- ton for justice of the peace in Moon township.
