have gone for Amy's date in. the same spirit. Harry Hutchins. Aloud mouthed, conceited fool. The sort who can always tell the other fel- low how to play bridge. A wise guy.
 Cilly marveled that girl like Amy could have stood his company for one evening. Amy was highly at- tractive-a girl with charm and poise and good breeding. Surely she could see through the bluff that was Harry Hutchins.
 But apparently she didn't. To all appearances, she was completely gone on him. Why, if two days passed without her hearing from him, she'd call him at his hotel. It made Cilly mad
 Once she remarked about it to Amy, not that she had any right to comment. But Amy was such a good-hearted soul; she's never real ize when someone was giving her raw deal. .
 Let him chase you" Cilly had said. There's more zest to a man when you keep him guessing"
 But Amy had just shrugged. Don't worry about me, Cilly,"' she replied. You don't understand this affair between Harry and me"

 MO, Cilly didn't understand 1t. 1N But she understood Harry Hutchins. Only too well. He was the answer to every maiden's prayer

you grabbed that dress or coat dowr from the line with small regard for flying clothespins; and you fairly flew back to the big heavy door, lest MT. Johnson come up and lock it for the night, and leave you out in that intense blackness until morning, q N.@
 n 'HIRTY seconds it took, at the | most, to rush over. to that clothesline and back. You didn't finger. Cilly hadn't fingered, anc Cilly was as brave as the average Even a little more brave than Amy. Amy would not come home alone evenings when Cilly had tc work late. She didn't like to be alone in the apartment. She said so,
 No, Amy wasn't the sort to finger in the terrifying blackness of the roof at midnight-not if oAAO WVAO 0AOAACs
 Then Amy wasn't alone. It was all poppycock about wanting to air her blue dress. Amy was going Up on the roof to meet someone. Who?
 Harry Hutchins had left 10 min- utcS. earlier than Jim. Amy could have walked down to the vestibule if she. wanted to be alone with him. And given Jip a few min utes to say goodnight to her, Cilly.
 But Amy had waved Harry out with a nonchalant air, and she had waited around with z Jim and Cilly She didn't even excuse herself and pretend that she was going to bed. She just waited around until Jim left, and then she immediately got

"Darn!" she said again Then to herself: If I have to get out of this tub, Pm out for good"
 Somewhere in the night church clock struck: Civ listened counting the strokes "Twelve o'clock !" she murmured "Pm going to bed." >"..&
 She remembered that she had full mornings work ahead of her the next day. if she was to finish that Harvey brief by noon. And she was never her best on Monday morning. Tomorrow would be no exception. .... s,y.g :,

at least he thought So And poor Amy was just another girl who had fallen prey to his deadly charm.
 Cilly knew that Harry had other interests. In greener fields. It was no secret that Harry Hutchins was making a heavy play for Gloria Harmon, whose father had left her 8 string of chain stores. The Brook lyn rotogravure sections printed photographs Uf them together-at the races, at the smartest supper clubs in Manhattan, at the Harmon estate on Long Island. Even tonight, he had boasted of spending the pre- vious weekend down at Harmony Hall.'
 But all this went over poor Amy's head. Either she had not @ bit of jealousy in her makeup, or she had 8 forlorn hope that in time she could win her precious Harry back.
 Seven, eight, nine, one hundred.
 Cilly put the brush down. Per- haps that was 1t. Perhaps Amy had been so especially sweet to Jim this evening just to make Harry jealous. Cilly couldn't blame her for that.
 However, that didn't explain this going up on the roof. And spending half an hour up there.
 It wasn't pleasant up on the roof at midnight, not unless the moon rode high in a cloudless sky. To- night 1t was cloudy, and there was no moon. It would be terrifying all alone up there!

WPA GOLD SEEKERS

The Bureau of Mines reports that those sent out
through the Works Progress Administration to seek
gold have not been very successful AS inexperienced
prospectors they made average of around $72 per
year the Bureau finds and then goes on to say:
The Joint survey demonstrated concusvey the
futility of following suggestions frequently mace IN
recent years that large number of people be en-
couraged to become gold miners means OF solving
the unemployment situation"
In a general way the Bureaus survey has re-
vealed what most people would readily admit to be
fact in the first instance. All can't become pros
pectors just because they out of jobs any more
than they all become brick masons, or carpen-
tiers or bookkeepers Giving man No. shovel
pick and few beans and sending him out in the
hills look for gold means of solving the I'M
employment problem just about as silly as 1t sounds
and if the premise which the Bureaus report
is now founded there is small wonder that the gold
seekers only averaged about $72 per year Of course
such scheme is futile. But suggestion has been
made particularly as efectng Alaska which, if given
the support of the Bureau of Mines or the WPA, or
some other Federal agency, could be productive OF
results to the prospector and the entire Territory
The proposal was made by the author Rex Beach,
himself former Alaska gold seeker The Beach plan
similar which is reported to be fairly successful
In Canada. is that the right caliber OF men-honest
and unafrad of work-be grubsaked and sent out into
the 1leQ unOer Ine leadership Vi pioS-
pectors, who not. only know how to look for gold,
what it looks like when they it but also know how
to care for themselves in the open. Such parties
properly outfited would be able to get somewhere
and in Alaska doubtless would strike kind of
pay dirt.
That is plan with head to it, which, if put into
operation in the many regions in Alaska that are
known to be mineral bearing. would probably develop
and paying properties 1t would be an invest
ment in human aid which would have chance of
paying dividends
Certainly it is futile to send men out gold seeking
who do not know gold when they see it and know
little about existence in the open. If that is the plan
which was attempted in the States wonder the
Bureau says it's flop. But putting men in the field
under experienced prospectors properly equipped is
an entirely different story The Beach plan is worthy
of Federal support but if it done by simply ship
ping group of WPA workers, or any other kind of
workers. up to Alaska and turning them loose with
the instructions to go and find gold like there is
reason TO believe it done in the States, then
would be doomed to failure just the experiment
has been Outside Carried out in a sensible manner,
however it could be boon to Alaska and the men
who participate.

Men in authority come under a

supposed to encourage fault-finding.
Constructive work is well directed
under this configuration and should
be pushed with determination. The
machinery of building, manufac-

oiled for high gear operation.
BODYBUILDING is under the best

those who are wise will seek coun-

may be pursued in time OF national

This is an suspicious day for
launching any enterprise. 1t is
fortunate for public buildings and
for the beautifying of cities.
As modern architecture gains in
American centers of population,
fame is to be achieved that will
be world wide, for the seers fore
tell that as old cities are destroyed
