Jasper glanced around at his fellow
Tiger members. He knew from many
previous conversations that each OF
them had the same domestic prob
lens to contend with. He knew they
were entirely in sympathy with him,
and he decided that here was a good
chance to teach Angela lesson by
embarrassing her.
Angela, you're unreasonable. Only
yesterday I gave you SIS to use in
running the house. What in the world
have you done with it all? There
should be enough left over after you've
paid your trif1ing bills to buy six pairs
of shoes"
Jasper winked at his fellow-Tiger
members. The Tiger members grinned
appreciatively. Angela flushed.
Very WELL" she said. But the
moneys gone for food and electricity
and gas and insurance and dozen
other things. BY the way, your long
underwear arrived today, c. o. d., but
had no money to pay for it."
Jasper stared. "What?"
Your long underwear. The red
flannel things you wear in winter"
Jasper's eyes darted around the ta-
BILE. The Tiger members were star
ing at him curiously Jasper coughed.
Look here, Angela, must you-'
Also" Angela went on, I'D like
to know what I'm to do when your
reducing belt arrives I won't be
able to pay for that either"
Angela. if you don't"
Il mean the belt you bought to
wear under your underwear because
your stomach's getting so big and
you refuse to diet or exercise. 1t

One of the Tigers snickered. The
others grinned. Color rushed into
Jasper's face. He looked beseechinsly
at Angela, and a feeling of horror
beset him. He knew, as well as though
she had spoken, that she was going
to mention the corset he wore at
the last dress ball in order to keep
his waistline looking slim.
Sweat broke out on Jaspers FORE
head. Desperation came into his
eyes. for Jasper was proud and
vain man.
Angela he cut in swiftly as An
gela opened her mouth to speak. per
haps I-er-perhaps you should get
Yourself a pair of shoes after all.
Here!" he said, thrusting wad of
bills into her hand. Now, run along"
Outside in the lobby Angela smiled
smugly then sobered. She was think
ing what an idiot she was not to have
thought of such a smart thing to do
long before.

lap. His lips twisted into snarl.

money! Why can't you stop bounding
me? Do you think I'm made Of
money? Shoes, hats. dresses! Good
Lord! You must throw away the
money I give you every week. Barely
enough for the house. my eye! You
ought to be the best-dressed woman
In Pleasantville if you had any sense
Of management"
During this TRADE Angela's face
went white, then red. then white
again. Her fists clenched and un-
clenched Before Jasper had quite
finished she turned and left the room.
Jasper grinned smugly to himself and
went on reading his paper. There
was only one way, he told himself,
to handle a money-mad wife. Be
brutal.
. Upstairs, Angela cried softly Pres
entity she lifted her head and her
expression became grim. Something,
she thought passionately, had to be
done. Things couldn't go on like this
1t had been happening for seven
years. She had suffered so many
indignities and humiliations that she
: was getting used to them. Her sense
of pride had almost vanished. Why
couldn't he understand that all she
wanted was to be treated fairly, to be
Aspared the indignation of having to
ask him for money when she needed
It? Couldn't he see that she was
shabby? Couldn't he understand that
he had reduced her to nothing short
of beggar and that it was killing
her?
She got up and crossed to her
dressing table. She reached for her
powder box and had to scrape the
sbottom in order to get enough to
erase the effects of her crying A 10
cent box of powder! She couldn't
even afford that! Her cheeks burned
with humiliation.
At 1890 the next day Jasper left
his Office and walked to the Pleasant
vile Hotel. where he joined other
merchants and business men for the
weekly luncheon of the Tigers Club.
There were about 80 in all They
divided into groups and sat down at
round tables in the dining room, fat,
contented, well-fed gentlemen with
slnugness and false Importance written
in their every expression and gesture.

Jasper was in the
middle of a pleas

Harry Bridge, the
local jeweler, con-
cerning the merits
of using an iron on
the eighth hole Of
the country club,
when he felt a
nudge on his elbow.
He looked up and
was astonished at
finding A n g e ! a

includes also a knowledge of the ways
that are open to the other fellow who
may not wish to comply. Then he is
a newspaper man. He is trained in
the art OF directness, in the impor-
lance of facts and the danger of mess
ing or mixing them up. Then he is a
solder who has seen discipline. re-
giment of rough order, the sanctity
of duty, and the necessity of obed-
fence. In that training he gathered
the idea that personality often counts
only as it is .cheerfully sacrificed.
That's the, kind of composite who
may be carried into the Washington
office. Though he succeeded in his
first State race against field of
strong candidates, he regards him.
self pluperfect in poor politics. He
had no opposition in his 1896 cam
palgn. He doubts the political wis
dom of his ways, but they seem to
have scared off all opposition.
In his office, which makes him
third man also in another, he has to
meet more kinds of men than he has
to be himself. He never has been the
darling of the manufacturers, who
like not his stand for the child labor
amendment and his manifest SYM
pathy with those who seek the high
er wage and the better living stand
ards. He does not afront those manu-
facturers, however, as does the pro-
fessional uniohist, and Fletcher has
managed to get along pretty well with
them. ,es.
His other job, commissioner in the
unemployment commission office,
makes his deal directly with the poll
ticians. He is ex-officio a member of
that body, composed of three, two of
them appointees of the governor. This
is the new department which now
employs workers in the hundreds.
1t is in this office that the major
does his best soldiery. He has to pass
upon appeals from party leaders.
Mister Man will come down from, say
a mountain county, in which there
are a lot of "Republi-kins." Many an
applicant brings to Raleigh in quest
of a good office, no fitness beyond
shady record in local politics. Some
times he says he has carried the re-

the elector was blowing and put his
name on. Sometimes the patriotic ser
vice has taken the form of making
out blanket affadivits and getting
them signed by Handy Andy and to
be used in absentee voting. This is
rated quite enough by many party
leader. A good job should be forth
coming. -
Here Major Fletcher puts down his
225 avoirdupois. Many of these APP
plicants ask for positions calling for
technical skill and certainly a social
"awareness'' as the modernists phrase
it. The major conducts his own one
man sit down strike. He will not pass
such an applicant and there is not
in his division any place for him. The
applicant might deserve a place on
the relief rolls, but not in an adj
ministrative office.
Undoubtedly, the least conscient-
ious of the employers, and likewise of
the party leaders, can look with equ-
animity on the going away of Major
Fletcher, eff and when" he goes. For
there are several citizens of the State
who have have to go to work because
he sat down on their requests and
refused to work bit on their appli
cations for sine cures.

nd printing industries and four fur
niture plants.
The additions, though fewer in mum
Der, have been equally impressive.
There are 20 hosiery extensions and
six cotton yarn mill additions. There
is one for rayon and there are two
for silk. Three are unclassified and
three are increases in dyeing and
finishing. The magnitude of these
operation stated in money is nearly
$7,00O,O0O.
This includes the eight months of
1888, which in turn embraces all the
slumps that have come to the State.
The first losses in State revenues
were marked up in this period and
it was the same months which saw
the biggest losses in the stock mar
ket. 1t included the presidential re-
cession when that setback threatened
to match the Hoover depression. The
gains are therefore tremendous.
They are in line with previous pro-
phesies made both by Governor Hoey
and Revenue Commissioner Allen j.
Maxwell, estimates which were quite
detached from the federal spending
plans. INDEED, these businesses all
have come to North Carolina with
out such spending. And the States
revenue collectors are pleased to have
these evidences that the widely adj
vertised high North Carolina tax rate
is not driving business from the State
and is not preventing that influx.
There have been few such eight
months in recent State history. And
better luck is promised for the remain
ing third of the year.

When John L. Lewis was organic

that he believed his plan to be the

The Fish Probe.
Representative Hamilton Fish of
New York saw "red" spooks a few
years ago and started an investiga-
ton of their activities similar to the
one Representative Martin Dies of
Texas is pushing now.
It fizzled out as Dies will presently.
Fish's case collapsed when the New
Yorker, having been tipped off to
cache of subversive literature in a
packing case in Baltimore, seized it
and found it to contain nothing but
two cabbage heads.
And Dies Inquiry.
Suppose Dies does demonstrate that
certain folk think so-and-so. What's
he going to do about it?

mer Representative Arthur Free of
California, a pastime cred" investi-

What Representative Dies has un-
dertaken to call his committee is 'the
committee on unAmerican activities"
