For instance, the textile people are
watching the new scellophane ma
terials now being used for raincoats.
These coats are simply pressed and
stamped out rather than spun and
doomed. I am told that this cellophane
material improved, colored, and
made opaque-will be substituted for
cheap rayon and cotton dresses. There
are literally hundreds of new, prac-
tically laborless, plastic products.
They take the place of metal and
wood products made by laborious
methods. They save untold sums in
overhead and labor costs.
By now pushing for more supposed
advantages, workers are only forcing
employers to install more of these
labor-saving machines and processes.
I do not blame workers for wanting
more money. That is only human.
Furthermore, I believe in collective
bargaining. But labor is foolish to kill
the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Margery Harding would be. OLD
maidy and SNUG and plain and high
hat. He would much prefer, he de-
cided, the-er-other girls to whom
his mother had referred.
Then, three days after the Hard
ings had moved in, Owen glanced
over the back yard fence and saw
vision with ash-colored hair and
brown eyes and full red lips and a
divine figure. His eyes nearly popped
from their sockets. He rushed into
the kitchen.

"I-er-wouldn't want Margery to
think I was tied to my mothers
apron strings. I think I'd better 60
alone"
1t was Sunday, and Owen had
plenty of time to get ready. The
finished product, as surveyed in his
bedroom mirror, wasn't bad at all.
No, sir, he thought, not bad at all.
At 4 o'clock Owen mounted the
steps to the Hardings' front door.
He rang the bell. Hurried footsteps
sounded in the hall. The door opened
and just at that moment large, tall
wagging and friendly canine came
bounding up the steps, brushed past
Owen and galloped into the house.
Owen grabbed the door jamb in the
nick of time to keep himself from
falling.
He would have sworn and kicked
the dog in the Stats, but standing in
the doorway was the lovely ash
blond vision. So he grinned, and
the lovely vision smiled.
I'm Owen Shear" he explained.
Next door. I thought-er-I ought
to call"

father aren't home"
That's SWELL" declared Owen. II

II suppose he is, as dogs co." said
Margery.
Owen had an uncomfortable feel
ing that he had said the wrong thing
The dog suddenly left Margery and
leaped into Owens lap. Owen was
so startled that his mouth fell open.
Then he grinned. Despite the fact
that the brute was mussing up his
suit and deranging his tie. he thought
it would be tactful to grin.

gerry said.
"Oh, I love EN-" said Owen, sup
pressing longing to push the canine
of on his ear.
Margery sighed. Some people
like dogs better than they do people
Owen squirmed. He had said the
wrong thing again He wasn't get
ting to first base with the vision. In
fact, she was acting as though she
had actually taken a dislike to him.
Suddenly he had an idea. The
smart thing to do was to 60 home
and call her on the phone and make
date. Without that damned dog
around he felt he could handle the
situation much better.

Margery coldly. She followed him
into the hall. The dog had returned
to the divan, where he squatted and
watched them with his tongue hang
ing from the side of his mouth.

Owen, opening the door. "Good-by." >"
Margery stared at him Mortified.
Wait a minute! Aren't you going
to take your mongrel with you?"

She broke of as the humor Of the
situation struck her. She looked at
Owen and Owen looked back. and
suddenly they both began to laugh.
What a neighborly neighbor-
hood!"" exclaimed Margery. The
dog was paying a call, too." At which
point the dog leaped from the divan,
ran between them and bounded
through the door.
Owen closed the door. DO you
mind if I stay little longer?" he
asked.
Please do," said Margery.

Think Ward
Leading For
Speakership

Raleigh, Dec. 20.-(AP) Rolling
down the home stretch, the three-cor-
nered fight for the speakership of
the 1889 House of Representatives got
more attention today than almost any
thing else on Capitol Hill The eau
Gus will be held Tuesday night. If
reports here could be given much
weight, D. L. Ward, of New Bern,
was either in the lead or fast gaining
ground in his race against Victor
Bryant of Durham, and William E.
Fenner, of Rocky Mount.
At least two veteran legislators who
said they had not previously commit
ted themselves let it be known they
intended to back Ward or Fenner and
they had been regarded by observers
as probable Bryant supporters.
Some observers flatly predicted
Ward would win. Others continued to
forecast Bryant would emerge on top.
There were others who saiu Fenner
was gaining ground and stood an ex-
cellent chance to win.

New Years Eve all over the coun-

cacophony of flatfoot flooging and
Aud Lang Syne, a crazy mixture of
revelry and reverie, with here and
there little departure from the ia

run from SIS per person in the Rain

the press club tariff embracing the

From almost everywhere a little
of the asy-come-easy-go attitude was
reported, and so it appeared that fl
nancially this would be the biggest
thing of its kind since the old lush

Rome, Dec. 30.-(AP)-France's re-

italian territorial fight brought a
new barrage of fascist attacks today.
The attitude of France toward
Italy's natural aspirations, the

press indicated that Italy regarded
Chamberlain's January II visit as an
opportune occasion for discussion of
her territorial demands and might
bring the subject up regardless of
the French attitude.
Says France Fears Conference
II Mass aggero openly discussed the
possibility of a conference similar to
the Munich meeting, declaring that
evidently the spectre of a new four

would take part in it--disturbs

The paper attributed Frances re-
luctance to have Chamberlain take
up the matter to the French feeling
that the problem of relations be-

question of rights but rather a loss

business by the end of 1889 will be as
GOOD as-perhaps even better than

year will be around 20 per cent above
the 1898 level Jobs, wages, retail
