 David strode from the window and stood facing her. That's just it. The fact that you preferred to break the promise you made when you married me preferred to sac- rif1ce our peace and happiness, rather than disobey your parents in such small matter apd cause half hours unpleasantness."
 But now Coral was calm, her heart hard and angry, the hurt burning at her soul fire not red but white. If he had so little trust in her, if he understood her so little, what was the use of further argument? Better to cut free now, before it was too late.
 Are you sick of your bargain, David?" she asked. Nov that you have found me so unworthy of your noble affection, do you re- gret that you are tied to me?"
 David sprang to his feet. Coral, I love you! Can't you see that? Can't you see I'm crazy with jeal- ousy? I want you . always. But if you love me, darling, tell Hoyt

David snorted. T wouldn't worry about that spoiled brat. She can take care of herself, all right. It wouldn't be bad thing for all con- cerned, if her father did what he threatens. A little hard office work might knock some of the nonsense out of her head"
 Coral sighed. T know, David, but she's always had her own way. It's not really her fault that she's spoiled. I can't help wor- rying about her. difficult as she is." And Coral thought to herself, Even you don't know how dif11- cult" She had not yet told David that Donna knew their secret.
 Coral, honey" David said, tits like you to be so warm hearted but I wouldn't worry about Don- ma. After all, there's really noth- ing you can do besides you can't tell me that she isn't perfectly able to look out for her. self. What was the other thing you had on your mind? You sim ply mustn't worry any more about Donna, Coral. She's not worth it Let's get on to question number two.' His voice was jocular, but his eyes reflected the serious look which lay in Coral's.
 
 David, dear, I really don't know how to tell you. I've done dread full thing, but, truly, couldn't help it. The family made me do it, Da- vid. You know I didn't want to!'

The words tumbled from her lips. !.
 David laughed. What! Let's get this straight, darling. Your family made you do what and know you didn't want to do what?"
 Invite Hoyt Marquis to the Spring prom" Her words were blunt, her voice unnaturally shrill.
 David was stunned. Asked HOYT MARQUIS to the prom! I thought you were going with me.

 T don't care about him, David, you know that" Coral's voice was desperate, her eyes pleaded with him to understand. T love you!"
 "Oh, obviously!" David's words cut across her heart like the lash of a whip.
 For minutes, which seemed for ever, the laboratory was silent. David walked across the room and stood looking out of a window, his back, stiff and uncompromis- ing, to Coral. She leaned against the long, zinc-covered table, her body limp, her eyes brimming with tears. Each waited for the other to speak. At last Coral said, Wont you even try to understand?"
 Tt seems to me, that I under stand only too we'll" David an- swered brusquely. T thought you loved me, that when we had to keep our marriage a secret you would observe the VOWS of fidel- ity, even though we hadn't pro- claimed them to the world. I had the mistaken idea that you were the kind of girl who wouldn't re- gret the loss of freedom to pick and choose from between 8 dozen different men, that you would be satisfied to confine your attentions to me-" He turned and bowed to her in mock politeness. T fully realize that am only your hus- band, and perhaps have no right to ask favorS of you, such as the great one of begging you to hold open one date out of the entire spring season, for me-"
 Coral was angry now. How can you dare to say such things to me?" she cried. "You talk as if I had be- trayed you in the eyes of the whole world"
 He smiled wryly. Mot the whole world, my pet. You're much too clever for that. All that you have betrayed are the most sacred VOWS man and woman can make to- gether before their God. Or maybe you don't look at 1t like that. Ap- parently not. Your betrayal has been of a promise which, for tunately for you. was known only to us"

Marquis you can't have him here for the dance after all. You can give him some explanation. Please Coral, it means so much"
 "Hoyt has made his plans. Be- lieve me, David, if could do any thing about it, would. But it's impossible. I can't back down, now I've got to go through with it for my family's sake. You do see David, don't you?"
 He looked at her wearily. "I'm afraid I don't. There's nothing more to say, is there?" He walked toward the door, opened it.
 "David" she cried. But he was gone was it forever?

or later. The longer she put it off, the worse it would be. Yet each time she tried, the words refused to come. AS she read Hoyts letter, apologetic for his behavior after the cocktail party, full of plans for the dance, she was more disturbed than ever. As David shut the door and came toward her, she nerved herself. I'll tell him now and get it over," she said to herself and then prayerfully, Please don't let him be angry. Make him under stand!"
 David kissed her. Darling it's harder to get a moment alone with you than to get an exclusive inter view with the King of England"
 Its not so easy to see you alone, when it comes right down to cases" Coral laughed. I've been back three days and how often have I seen you? Once for dinner, once for a 10-minute walk across the campus, two chocolate sodas at the Tea Kettle, and that's all .. out side of classes, which don't count Add that up and it comes to about three hours and half out of the last 72. Any other wife would have begun to ask questions long ago What have you been doing that's kept you in the lab so much of the timer"
 That's a secret, Coral for a while even from you. But I'll tell you first of all if everything work out as I'm hoping it will"
 "Oh, David, tell me- Coral's eyes were alight with interest. "Is it a new experiment?"
 David chuckled. Remember what curiosity did to the feline! You'll know all in god time" he finished in mock condescension.
 David, I am so proud of you, D Coral said. T know that some day you're going to be one of the greatest chemists in the world, and I'll work for you and wash the test tubes and light the Bunsen burners, if you promise not to get proud and throw me out!"
 
 DaVld pulled her to nm, kissed her hair lightly. That's one thing you'll never need to worry about. If I ever become famous note the if {. you can help me and I'll wash your dishes. Fair enough?" The bantering note forsook his voice. Was there bad news in the letter you were reading when came in? You looked bit worried"
 David, there are a couple of things want to talk over with you, D Coral answered slowly.
 Don't look so serious. sweet! Mo- thing is bad enough to make you look like that? Whats up? Tell me. {" Well, first of all, I'm worried about Donna.

Coral was sitting on the edge of a laboratory chair reading letter from Hoyt when David entered. She had been back at Elton for three days, yet somehow, the opportunity for telling David that Hoyt was coming for the Spring prom had not yet presented itself. Always she had been to happy to be with him again, too miserly of their moments together. to introduce the subject.

It is easy to understand the care that must be taken in the interest of precision and accuracy when de- signing various submarine parts.
 One designer spent a long time perfecting various parts which would give greater utility value. One in particular was interesting. In parts of the steel plate which encased and partitioned the submarine were three different shapes of openings with the same diameters. One was cross as shown above. The designer a circle, one square and one a finally hit upon an idea for a solid plug of single piece of steel which in one of three ways would fill any of the three shapes of openings, completely filling the opening.
 A little ingenuity and thought will give you the design.

Unless Lewis gets closed shop contract

peace is restored in the industry.
So it is matter of life and death with

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE LEWIS CHALLENGE

II has never been popular. during the past sew
eral wears to suggest that what we are experience
ing in this country is revolution. MoSt persons
associate the word with the seizure OF government
by force and arms. They laugh at the idea that
such q thing could happen in the United STATES
They resent even the suggestion that the newer
tecbnioue of revolution as it has already been APP
piled in other countries might be applied here
Is il not already being applied? The question
at least presents itself. Some six thousand strik-
ers in Detroit have seized plants belonging to the
Chrysler corporation and are openly denying the
law in the state of Michigan. The law has spoken.
II has declared them to be lawbreakers and has
ordered their arrest. The authorities, from the
governor down, are afraid to enforce the order OF
the court The strikers threaten "boodshed and
violence" if such attempt is made.
If this be not the language of revolution, what
is it? There is only issue in the Chryser STRIKE
as there was only one real issue in the General
Motors strike and only issue in the other strikes
that Mr. John L. Lewis is threatening. The pay
of Chrysler workers is high, as was that OF the
General Motors workers, and the working condi-
tions are far above the average. The issue at De-
troit is not as to wages. The issue is power where
shall power reside? Shall it reside in the law or
shah it be lodged with Mr.. Lewis and his cohorts!
To date, unquestonably, the advantage lies with
Mr.. Lewis He is moving forward ruthessly to ex-
tend his control by the bold defiance of the law
and he is getting away with it,
There are many phases of the industrial PROB
lem and of the labor problem which lend them
selves to discussion but here is situation IN which
discussion is brazenly put aside. 1t is not discus
sion that Mr. Lewis demands. 1t is surrender His
major present objective is the establishment OF
labor dictatorship over industry, with himself as
dictator He is marching towards that objective
by demonstrating that the law is impotent to stop
him-impotent or indsposed, or both. There has
never emerged in America in the past leader
who could be compared with Mr.. Lewis, one who
had tenth part of his aggressiveness, his ambi-
ton, his lustfu resolve to prove that he is above
or beyond the law. The challenge which he filings
out is at the moment directed against the state OF
Michigan. 1t is not directed against Michigan
alone.-Asheville Citizen.

ECONOMY NOT IN THEIR LEXICON

There is no such word as economy in New
Dealers vocabulary. Only the other day Mr.. Harry
Hopkins federal relief administrator, proposed a
permanent WPA with a budget of two and half
billion dollars a year. Mr.. Hopkins thinks there
will be from FIVE to six million men permanently
unemployed in this country. Therefore he pro-
poses to provide for them by the most expensive
way possible and let the taxpayers do the worry
ing.
1t is this attitude, so common among Mr.. Roose-
velt's assistants that makes it difficult to do any,
thing about budget balancing in this country. The
moment anyone suggests retrenchment the cry
goes up that the destitute are to be allowed to
starve. Of course no one contemplates anything of
the kind but it makes good political propaganda
for the New Dealers.
No one better than Mr.. Eccles knows how disas-
trous it would be to increase taxes in this country
at the present time when the taxpayer is already
struggling under heavy burden. Yet realizing
| the need of a balanced budget and knowing that
any suggestion of retrenchment would be frowned
on in Washington, he picks increased taxes the
lesser of the two evils.
1t is about time that someone with courage in
Washington suggested balancing the budget the
only feasible way and that is by economy and re-
| trenchment. There is no reason why we should
have permanent unemployment problem in this
country. 1t is a dsgraceful thing that with bust
ness virtually at the 1929 level our welfare costs
should still be at the peak. The government has
encouraged this sort of thing and is still encourag
ing it and the taxpayers paying the price. ~
Mr.. Eccles is right when he says we must have
a balanced budget. We cannot go on much longer
the way we are. The way to balance that budget,
however, is to prune expenses. 1t should not be
balanced by an increase in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

WASHINGTON. - The dangers
" Of price initiation, which many
government and private econo-
miStS believe is moving us right
along toward the next big deprcs-
sion, have now been recognized
officially in a public statement by
Federal Reserve Board Governor
Mariner S. EccleS.
Hardly anyone seems to dispute
the dangers of the present price
trend. But there is disagreement
here as to:
Whether the next crash, if it
comes, is most likely 10 hit in 1888,
1889, or 1910;
2-Whether business is using
wage increases to charge conSum-
erS for much more than the costs
of such increases;
3-Whether the government can
formulate any industrial policy
adequate to head of the next de-
preston, or cope with il, when
and if it comes. There is no such
policy now.
Leon Henderson, former chief
Of research and planning at NRA.
and now economic adviser 10
Harry Hopkins, was warning Of
price imitation year ago. He'has
persiStently urged a national eco
nomic council and a pooling of in
dustrial-fnancial information. He
has succeeded in getting other
New Dealers alarmed, but SO far
that's all.

miStS have been trying to isolate

present dangers:
