admiring the technique that pro-
duced them. What interested her,
for some strange and puzzling
reason, was a series Of drawings
evidently developed for a mems
clothing account.
Marcia was unable to account
for the peculiar quickening Of
pulse that assailed her as she
studied these faces. Surely they
were not SO good that they could
demand such tribute?
TITS something else. something
familiar and yet" critically she
held them up in a better light.
"Well, I'll be blessed" she e1.
claimed. Beyond doubt tho
aspect that had challenged her
imagination was faint resem.
blance of the model to someone
she knew-to Sandy. she realized
with sudden clarity. Quickly she
verified her suspicion, then began
hurriedly to flip through additional
drawings in search of more proof.
Only one other mans face APP
peared, and that too, bore a glori-
fed resemblance of the features
of Sandy.
First she tried logically to con-
vince herself that Paula was using
her most available model, sketch
ing Sandy as he worked in the
office. But her intuition told her
that these drawings held more of
a reverence, more attention to the
kindly details of Sandy's face, than
were necessary to a simple draw
ing presenting mems fashions. To
her eye, it seemed more of a labor
of love, and she looked accusingly
at the tiny figure working so
steadily in the corner. What
right had she to build her whole
life around the man ?-had Sandy
given her any real reason to think
of him so possessingly ?-did he
know what she was doing? Jeal-
ousy famed in Marcia's eyes, and
with difficulty she restrained her
self from calling attention to her
discovery.
Forcing her voice to be calm,
she turned to Paula. What
time is Sandy due to return 2" she
said in a businesslike tone.
Il thought maybe you'd know"
the girl mumbled, not bothering
to remove a pencil from her
mouth.
How would know? l haven't
say, what are you trying to in
sinute ?" Marcia became sus-
picious at the tone of Paula's
voice.
ooh nothing, only he mentioned
something about important BUSH
ness over at Acme. I thought you
might know what it was"
Eat Acme! You must be wrong"
Marcia disclaimed vehemently.
Then she became panicky as she
thought what the outcome of that
meeting might be. She pleaded
with Paula for further infor1na-
ton. Didn't he say anything
about why he was going? Think
hard"
Paula seemed to delight in tan
talizing her, and if she'd wanted
to hurt her she couldn't have done
it more surely than with her next
words.
II might hazard a guess" she
drawled deliberately. "He said
something about intending to
punch old Abe in the beagle if I
remember correctly"
Marcia sat down Imply. What
could have happened to send
Sandy in so belligerent mood
over to the offices of Abe and
Walt? Undecided whether to re-
main in his Office until he returned
or join the melee, she decided it
might possibly be nothing to con-
Germ her and sat down deliberately.
I'll watt" she glared at Paula.

MARCIA slept heavily following

on the door. Quickly, she slipped
out of bed and threw a robe about
her.

sleepily, reluctant to wake up.

Immediately she opened the

chanted deliriously. Tears came
to Marcias eyes, tears of happi-

out of danger.

tiny bedroom, and it was only a
few minutes before she reap

blue silk.

suddenly. Tony was lying fiat on
the davenport, and his loud breath
ing proved beyond doubt that he
was sleeping heavily. She tiptoed
over to make sure, then covered
him with the vari-cOlored afghan.
"That'l do him more good than
breakfast right now" she thought,
and silently went out of the room
into the bright sunlight of that
glorious April morning. The soft
family perfumed air was delight
full, and she walked along the sun
speckled street briskly. Daffodils
paraded gaily in some we'll kept

the trend of the conversation, she
might even tell him of her own
perplexing problems. With these
thoughts she reached Sandy's
building.
Before entering the elevator,
she deliberately paused to enjoy
the friendly atmosphere about
her. Tremendous presses pounded
out their busy messages, and the
pungent smell of inks and paper
affected her almost as the inspira-
tional beau:y c. the morning. Here

Guam was taken in comic opera
fashion by landing crew from the
U. S. S. Charleston during the Span
ish-American War. The surprised ma
tives didn't know a war was going on,
and not shot was fired.
But in the World War the first
American shot fired against Germany
was fired at Guam. 1t came about in
this way:
In 1917, just before America went
to war with Germany, the German
gunboat Cormoran was forced ashore
at Guam by shortage of fuel. The ship
was interned, with gunsights and Of
fensive parts stripped.
On April II, 1917, after war was
declared, the Cormoran was boarded
and the captain ordered to turn over
the ship and men to the United States.
He asked time to consider. Without
fuel he could not escape, but to thwart
the Americans he exploded a demoli-
ton bomb in the ships bunkers and In
five minutes she sank.
The Germans plunged into the har-
Dor and seven were drowned. The

COURT DELAY
REJECTED BY
PRESIDENT
International Nsws service

President Roosevelt has beer
asked but has emphatically re
fused to accept q postponement
of Senate action on his Supreme
Court bill until fall.
The president told his congress
sional leaders he was entitled to
prompt consideration Of and an
early decision on his plan. He
said in effect:
"Congres must stay in ses-
sion until its legislative program
is completed. There can be no
adjournment until It's work Is
finished"
A group Of Administration lead.
erS, who fear prolonged debate on
the court bill will create q huge
legislative jam on Capitol Hill
asked the President to agree to
enactment Of appropriation and
other pending bills, an alI-Summer
recess Of Congress and action on
the court bill next fall.
Fear Death Of Bills
They expressed fear the court
battle now will last so long, many
other bills will be killed in the
jam.
Behind this move was q hope
that at least two present justices
of the Supreme Court would re
tire this summer, following its
June adjournment.
This rumor has prevailed for
weeks, only to be counteracted
from time to time by other re-
ports that no justice would re-
tire until after Congress disposeS
Of the Presidents bill.
If action were delayed until fall
and two justices did retire, some
leaders hoped the Presidents bill
would be withdrawn or that he
would accept q compromise, thus
ending the present heated con-
test.
Recess Plan Denounced
The Presidents attitude toward
a recess was shared by both Sen
ator AShurst CD Of Arizona, judi.
ciary committee chairman, who
has charge of the bin, and Senator
Van Nuys CD Of Indiana, leader
Of the opposition. Both denounced
the recess proposal.
The judiciary committee, mean
while, resumed its secret delibera-
lions on the bill.

Washington's minimum wage

in the opinion Of Corporation
Counsel Elwood Seal.
He said today that the board

He indicated he will ask that

current expenses of the board;
that the existing minimum wage
law, the validity of which is in
dispute following the decision Of
the Supreme Court reversing a
former decision declaring 1t un-
constitutional, be given q six
months trial before any thought
is given to enactment Of new legiS-
lation, and that in the interim
