Barry might once have had. He hated to believe Barry had never possessed those qualities.
 He moved and Barry opened drink -dulled eyes, meeting the quiet breeding gaze of his stepfather.
 "So it's my thoughtful parent. Might inquire the reason for the suddenly fatherly interest that would fix me a night cap and tuck me in bed"
 "Get on to our room, Barry. was not waiting up for you"
 q should have known that" Barry mocked. 50 you and old man Montanne have been sitting around cheering because you're getting all the money into one big family. May be, planning how to keep the gov- ernment from getting any of 1t. The government may know Q way, but by heaven, don't"
 "Come into my study, Barry" his stepfather said, sternly. T have wanted to talk with you Q long while. But l kept hoping"
 "Oh, can the chatter" Barry re- torted. He stumbled to his feet and followed his father across the hall and into the room where the fire had burned down to ruddy embers.
 John Wentworth closed the door and motioned to Q chair across from him. "sit there," he com- manded.
 Barry slumped into 6 chair, his eyes filled with malicious light. He 1t a cigaret and began to smoke, one hand nervously toying with q heavy marble paperweight that held down some papers on his fathers desk.
 "shoot," Barry said. And then maybe I'll do some talking. I'm sick and tired of being treated like Q beggar in this family"
 "'rhat's what you arel" Mr. Vent worth's voice was unexpectedly vio. lent, i've tried to be lenient and patient with you, Barry. I've waited to see some signs of settling down. But you've kept on. Spending, vast ing, drinking. You're a grown man and yet you've never earned a nickel in your life. All you do is to whine for more money to waste. You don't know 1t, Barry, but we've been skat- ing on thin ice. Perhaps it's my fault that none of you realized it. I've tried to keep my family from worry"
 "You don't get anywhere talking depression stuff," Barry growled. T know you're lousy with money. And If I'm @ beggar, suppose your fine Jack is-" :.
 "All I could ever want in e son, John Wentworth spoke fervently. T suppose you're planning to leave him Q big slice, and cut me out"
 Jchn Wentworth spoke heavily: "Your mother came to me about the will, also, Barry. told her l would be just about 1t. But didn't tell her what l planned to do. I'm going to change my will. l think the faireSt thing to you would be to have your share held In trust while you make Q man of yourself. If Ia Ave years after my death you've proved"
 Barry, his hand still clutching the heavy marble paperweight, had leaped to his feet. His voice rose In Q vicious shout; You couldn't get away with 1t. I won't let you--"

He rushed toward his father, his hand still raised. John wentworth rose to his feet, putting Q hand up as though to ward og Q blow. His pale lips moved, but no words came.
 Before Barry reached him, he had crumpled suddenly, his head striking the andirons on the hearth: Suddenly sobered, Barry lifted his father up.
 There was something about the still, white face. In horror Barry placed his father back on the rug, and got to his feet. A cry was stified on his lips.

INSPECT AND ACCREDIT
MILLION BUSHELS SEED

A million bushels Of seed from
22O fields has been inspected and
accredited in this state this year,
announces Leonard Hegnauer, ex-
tension agronomist. State College OF
Washington. The best varieties OF
wheat. oats and barley for various
districts have been inspected.
Because a shortage Of good seed
looms, especially for winter wheat,
the seed accreditation work has
been unusually important this year.
Farmers may secure information con-
corning accredited seed from county
agents.
A total of 26,357 acres We're in
spected in Is counties for possible
clean seed this year. Counties In
cluded were Adams, Walla Wala,
Columbia, Asotin. Whitman, Spokane
Lincoln, Douglas. Ferry, Pend Oreille
Gan ield Klickitat, Stevens. San
Juan and Skagit.
Wheat varieties accredited includ-
es; Bart, Bluestem, Hymar. Ridit,
Triplet and Turkey. Markton and
and Victory varieties of oats are on
the approved lists as we'll as Hors-
ford Barley.
To pass full accreditation, field
may not contain more than IL per
cent of varietal mixture and must
show not more than a trace of smut
and no noxious weeds.
The seed is Of such quality that II
used would improve the crop in any
given district. Crops resulting from
the careful use of such seed should
eliminate any possibility of dockagt
due to mixture or smut. In most In

ments to the sovereign regime estab-
lished by Chang Kai-shek.
To forfeit Marking, with all it rep
resents physically, spiritually and politi-
cally, is unquestionably the heaviest
draught of humiliation and disaster the
Chinese have so far had to quaff. Their
anguish is not assuaged by the bluster-
ing Japanese intention to wipe out at
Marking all traces of Chiang's power
and the spirit of national unity it
personified. If spark of chivalry
is left in Toxic, it will stay the hands
of the military command in the cap
tured capital. If chivalry has taken
wings, enlightened Japanese self-interest
should dictate considerate treatment Of
Marking. Wanton devastation or des-
ecration there will leave scars not easily
extinguishable in those inevitable days
to come, when favor-currying Japanese
will be in China, armed not with rifles
and bombs, but with order books, in
quest of trade with the people whose
liberties now are being 30 ruthlessly
crushed to earth. Chinese memories will
be both long and poignant.

Economic Planning.

Industrial leaders as well as govern
mental leaders believe in the advantages
of economic planning-provided assur-
ance can be given that plans be made
with some hope of being carried out.
A reading of the proposal made yes
terday by Lammot du Pont for the
planned investment by private industry
of $4,000 900 900 over a period of two to
fifty years shows it to be founded on
eminently reasonable grounds
Mr. du Pont asks as the price Of in
dustry participation in such program
that government give assurance of
stabilized taxes, stabilized labor condi-
tions and stabilized legal rules of con-
duct To promote the program, he
proposes development and popularization
Of new products, broadening of markets
through lower prices, and maintenance
of rule of fair return for labor and
capital.
Obviously, Mr.. du Points plan is not
simple matter of government and
industry precipitately agreeing to the
outline set forth and getting the pro-
gram under way.
Organized labor, for instance, is an
independent force in our economic sys-
tenn today and could not be arbitrarily
bound by governmental pledge. Tempted
by 100000 additional jobs, as indicated
by Mr.. du Pont, plus assurance of al
fair return for effort, it might be will
ing, however, to exchange pledge for
pledge in a three-way bargain.
Neither can government, embracing
In the last analysis both industry and
labor, pledge itself lightly to a fixed
tax structure unless it has some knowl-
edge of what later demands are to be
made upon it.
AS for industry, its responsibility under
Mr.. du Points proposal would be great
est OF all, for upon it would rest not
only the obligation of directing its con-
certed efforts in fair play with labor
and government, but also practical duty
OF supplying the leadership and in
spiration of such a program.
In common cause, namely, the pros
perlty of the Nation and the welfare
OF its people. none of these obstacles
is insurmountable. It would be more
than gratifying to see such an idea
put to sincere test.

OF the interior arrangements. Perhaps
the contrast is deliberate. In any case,
1t is striking. Few would guess the
beauty of the double library, with its
walls lined with books in old and rare
bindings; the mirrored drawing rooms
with lovely Heppelwhite and Chippen-
dale furniture; the great salon." noored
with parquetry of California woods and
a ceiling decorated with sprays of bam-
boo, and the dining room, rich in deli
cate carving.
The luckless Decatur resided in his
mansion scarcely year, but his name
has remained its designation through
more than century. Credit for the
maintenance of the property is due par
ticularly to Truxtun Beale, late Minister
to Persia and to Greece, who with fine
discrimination resisted the temptation to
"modernize" the house and kept its ira
dition and character unspoiled as well
as intact.
All that the Professional Writer'S Club
aspires to do is to engage the interest
OF the public. 1t does not plan a drive
for funds nor any specific appeal for
endowment. A practical policy, it sug-
gests, surely could be devised to save
the celebrated landmark. Meanwhile 1t
stresses the ideal about which it is most
commemorative value of history realist-
ically demonstrated in the Nations

MIR. Mellon Is ExOnerated.

1t is to be regretted keenly that
Andrew w. Mellon did not live to see
his name cleared of the charges of
fraud which representatives of the Gov
eminent he once served saw fit to
bring against him in the declining years
of his life.
The last smear against his name was
erased yesterday by unanimous action
of the United States Board of Tax
Appeals, which held that accusations
of fraudulent evasion of income taxes
made against the former Treasury Sec
retary were without foundation. The
board reduced Mr.. Melons tax liability
from the three million dollar figure de-
manded by the Treasury to a sum
estimated variously at from 100000 to
100000.
Action of the board was no surprise
to Mr.. Melons friends, nor to many
other citizens who could not bring
themselves to believe that a man of
Mr.. Melons caliber-of his demon
strated capacity for efficient public
service and of his philanthropic attri-
butes-would stoop to do the things
charged by Government counsel.
The board, composed, incidentally, of
nine Democrats and six Republicans,
could not accept the picture of Mr..
Mellon painted by Robert H. jackson,
then general counsel of the Internal
Revenue-the picture of a scheming
f1nancier using stock manipulations and
charity as a cloak for cheating his
Government of taxes rightfully due it..
While the board found that Mr.. Mellon
owed the Treasury more than he con-
tended he did, it held there was no
trickery involved. The amount of tax
due was matter of interpreting the
intricate revenue laws.
OF particular interest to Washington
Is the boards ruling that Mr.. Melons
Educational and Charitable Trust is a
valid organization, operated exclusively
for educational and charitable pur-
poses" and that his gift to the trust
Of his great art collection was not a
tax evasion device.
The board must have been some
what bewildered In considering this
phase OF the case. On the one hand
1t was confronted with the Govern
ment's claim that the art gift was
conceived in fraud to deceive the Treas
ury, while on the other it had the
same Governments recent acceptance
OF the same gift as notable contribu-
tion to the Nations cultural resources.
1t is interesting to speculate on what
might have happened if the board had
ruled that the art gift was Just a
subterfuge. Perhaps Mr.. Jackson could
answer that one.
But the irony of the whole thing is
the prospect that the additional taxes
allowed by the board will come not from
Mr.. Melons bank account-as had been
contemplated by the tax collectors prior
to his death-but from charity, to which
he Willed all his funds.
The prospect cannot be a pleasant
one for even the most fervid of tax
collectors.

Servant of Man.

For thirty years the Bureau of Stand
ards has been loyal servant of the
people of the United States.
There is hardly an industry that has
not been profoundly affected by the re-
suits OF its researches. There is hardly
any activity of daily life that has es-
capped altogether its influence.
Now and then its workers have made
sensational discoveries which have been
proclaimed in headlines the world over.
Such, for example, was the isolation of
heavy hydrogen a few years ago. The
world OF science still is shaking from
the impact of that discovery and its
hnal effects on life and living no man
can tell. But, by and large, the work
OF the bureau has been the unrecognized,
indispensable work of making practical
the discoveries of others. It has been
sciences burden bearer, the patient de-
terminer of the precise qualities of ma
terlals and the precise dimensions neces-
sary to make any mechanical con-
trlVance success. 1t has punctured
with facts some grandiose dreams. It
has built solid foundation of facts
under other dreams.
1t has served primarily the people
of the United States. But, such has
been the peculiar nature of it's service,
it has served equally well all mankind.
1t has produced the one commodity in
which there is always free trade-which
is shared as generously with friend and
Zoe as the air we breath or the beauty
OF autumn starlight. The Eskimo wom-
an sewing skin boots on a sewing ma
chine in her igloo, the japanese soldier
taking a drink of hot tea from a
thermos bottle when he comes in from
his guard mount in the bitterly cold
North China night, the millionaire
speeding through traffic behind his Iiy-
cried chauffeur-all are beneficiaries in
some way of the work of the Bureau
of Standards.
There are few birthday parties at
which anybody can offer more sincere
congratulations. OF few men or institu-
tions can one say that they have never
made enemies or never lost friends. But
this is only truism when spoken of the
Bureau of Standards.
