| was thinner, which made her blue
eyes look larger, even a little hOl-
low. It was necessary for her to
use a great deal more rouge at
night now when she dressed for
dancing at the Peacock.
But the work wasn't so hard
there as it had been, for Noel had
become accustomed to dancing
with all kinds of different part
ners. There were not any more
scenes like the one with the
strangely determined red-haired
young man, but Noel was still con-
scious of Luigi's ever watchful
eyes. And every night it seemed
as if the place grew more hateful
to her.
She and Laurie were having
their troubles also at the rooming
house. For the rent was overdue,
and Mrs. Blarsom had reminded
them of it in curt, demanding
tones.
Noel had looked at her in strick-
en- silence. AS usual, it was
Laurie who took charge Of the
situation. eve haven't the money

we WILL" Laurie insisted.

either" the woman returned. But
she left saying that she would
give them until the day after to-
morrow to get the money.
Noel looked at Laurie, who said
with slow emphasis, 'We'n SIM
ply have to duck out, guess, if
we can't get the money"
Noel didn't understand what
that meant. So Laurie explained.
"We'n have to pack our things
and slip out in the middle of the
night, so we won't be caught"
Noel grew a little sick at the
thought. Laurie looked at her and
said, Listen, honey, if we can't
pay her, she'll take our clothes and
put us on the street. How'd you;
like to be walking around with
nothing but the clothes on your.

course, on Sunday nights there was
nothing coming in.
"You could manage the rent, If

"Now, Laurie" Noel reproached,
''you just get that off your mind.

That night when Noel started
home from the Peacock something
queer happened. A strange man
followed her home. But he man

be sure whether or not it was done

all right. And I'll keep on being
that way"
"But will you? How can I feel
assured Of that?" Julian asked,
his dark eyes troubled.
Noel tried to meet his eyes with
a smile. Then she said, hating
herself for the deception. "You
see. I-have a-the job"
Julian's expression lightened.
"Well, that is BETTER" He took it
for granted that she meant the

before. cat least can be sure

''Is the work hard? The child

"Pul-lease, one at time" Noel
evaded. Then she murmured some
thing about the hours being very
pleasant, and the work easy
enough. Then she changed the

It was almost as If Julian read

nice whimsical smile, "She's really

Julian gave a boyish laugh.

Noel lifted her brows ironically.
Did Julian actually believe that?
Then Julian smiled and said
something that made her heart
quicken. "You need never worry
about another woman's beauty, my
dear. None can compare with
yours"

voice little shaky. Then she said

CHAPTER 9

AFTER SEEING Julian and
Ruth Chester walking gaily down
Madison street, Noel didn't feel
hungry any more. She managed
to swallow some coffee, but hardly
touched the sandwich she had
ordered.
When she started home, dismal
rain was falling. So Noel had to
run most of the way. When she
reached the room, her clothes were
dampened as well as her spirits.
"Noel, why didn't you wait until
the rain was over?" Laurie scolded
her tenderly.
Right away Laurie began TAX
ing off Noers coat, shaking it,
and placing it on a hanger. Then
she made her slip into a bath robe,
while she made her a cup of tea
into which she placed a slice of
demon.
"You think of everything, don't
you?" Noel said, already feeling
some of the tightness in her throat
beginning to dissolve. The tea was
hot and very good. When Noel
had finished it, she looked about
her from the hard wooden rocker
in which Laurie had placed a pill
low. what have you been do
ing?"
Laurie had the curtains down
and had them soaking in the bath
room. The windows had been
washed, the front one facing Court
street, and the other one on the
side which faced 8. tall brick build
ing, which cut off all the light from
that direction.
And actually Laurie had been
down on her lAee5 and had
scrubbed the foo an the wood

sun Shines" she said.
what will you DO to it?" Noel
said looking at the faded Amin
ster with distaste.
'tPll get a brush and some hot
soap suds. You'll be surprised
how it'll look. It probably hasn't
been cleaned, or even busted since
since King Tut wore short
pants"
Noel laughed. Then her express
sion grew seriOus "You didn't get
a job, AID I.--tI2er IL I. I don't
believe there are any in the whole
world
"Of course there are jobs. Wen
run one Gown before long," Laurie
assured her in hopeful voice.
But tie next day came and
passed exactly as The one before.
Both girls came home in the late
afternoon discouraged. Laurie's
brown eyes were not only discour-
aged, but they looked sad. Noel
had NJ iced several times before
that often, when Laurie was off
guard, an oppression of sadness
would creep into her face. Noel
somehow didn't believe it was alto
gether because tn y needed to find
work so very much. There was
some other reason why Laurie
often felt sad. But she couldn't
ask her about it. Too much like
prying.
A little past 6 Noel was called
to the telephone. She hadn't given
Julian her street address, but he
had insisted on having her tele-
phone number. He was calling her
now, wanted her to meet him at
the De Luxe for dinner.
NoePs feet fairly had wings as
she walked to the cafe. Julian
was already there, sitting at a
table, glancing over a paper when
she arrived.
He explained as soon as she was
seated at the table that he had
been called to a New Orleans hos

Salmon, Carrots
 Kitchen PinkS

TORONTO, Feb. 17-The pink color of the salmon is chemical relative of the pink in a carrot.
 But it belongs to the marine branch of the pinks and does not do the same health job for man as the pink of carrots, or the yellow of corn, another of the carotene pigments.
 The nature of salmon pink is re- ported in the journal of the biologi- cal board of Canada by Basil E. Bailey of the Pacific Fisheries ex- perimental station. He extracted the pink coloring matter from sal- mon with alcohol.
 Chemistry showed there were two red pigments, both apparently war; leties of astacin. a carolene pig ment common in marine animals.
 In human diet the principal value of carotene pigments is to form vltamin A. The pigments are pre- cursors" of the vitamin. This means the body chemically transforms the pigments into the vatamin.
 Bailey reports that neither ma rine astacin nor salmon pink ap- pear transformable to any extent in mammalian bodies.

LOSSES FROM CASUALTIES,
 THEFT, AND WAGERS

To be deductlble, a JOSS arising from fires, storms, shipwrecks or other casualty" need not be con- nected with the taxpayers trade or business. If his home or his auto mobile is destroyed by fire, or his summer bungalow damaged by flood or storm, he may claim deduction for the loss sustained
 Loss of property by theft or bur- glary is an allowable deduction, and need not be incurred in trade or business. Hence, the loss occasioned by the theft of jewelry or an auto mobile used for pleasure and con- venience is deductible.
 It must be established, however, that the property actually was stolen. Should circumstances at- tending the loss leave the owner in doubt as to whether it was stolen or lost, the claim would not be al- lowed.
 Losses from wagering transactions are allowable only to the extent of the gains from such transactions.
 A loss is deductible only in the year in which it is sustained, even though, as in the case of a theft or casualty, it may not be discovered until later year
 Losses compensated for by insur- ance or otherwise, of course. are not deductible. However, in the event the amount of insurance is not sufficient to recompense for the loss sustained, the excess of the loss ever the amount of the insur- ance is deductible
 In general, losses for which an amount may be deducted for in- come-taX purposes must be evil denced by closed and completed transactions, fixed by identifiable events, bona fide and actually sus- tained during the taxable period for which claimed.
 For instance, a person possessing stock of a corporation cannot de- duct from gross income any amount claimed as loss merely on account of shrinkage in value of such stock through fluctuat ton of the market or otherwise. The loss allowable in such cases is that actually suffered when the stock is disposed of.

 LIGHT BULBS

PHILADELPHIA, Feb IT, The electric light of the future will change colors at the turn of a switch.
 This is one of the tricks of tel lurium vapor. now only a labora- tory curiosity, described in the Jour- nal of the Franklin Institute. Tel lurium is a non-metallic chemical element, one of the 92 primary sub stances forming earth, sun and oth- CT planets.
 It's a cousin of sulphur and often is found in small quantities In gold and silver. It is used for coloring glass and porcelain and for some electrical apparatus.
 But J. w. Warden, N C.. Reese and George Meister have developed an electric light by placing little tel lurium in bulb where it will va- porize when the current is turned en. Tellurium melts at about l,200 degrees Fahrenheit. so that it is easy to produce the vapor.
 Through this vapor an electric current will flow just as though a filament making the vapor glow brilliantly.
 The peculiarity is that tellurium vapor changes from blue white to yellow and bright gold as the heat rises with an increase of electric current.

Curran Says Bridges and Communists a Boon

WASHINGTON, Feb. IT. Jo- seph Curran, President of the Ma tional Maritime Union, today charged the rival International Longshoremen's Union with share in the responsibility of IT deaths among members of his union in labor disputes.
 Appearing before the Senate Com merce and Labor Committees, Cur ran accused Joseph Ryan, president of the rival AFL union with parti- cipation in the waterfront strife during which Curran testified 125 members of his CIO union were in jured while picketing since the or ganiza tion was first formed.
 Curran paid respects to Harry Bridges, CIO leader on the Pacific Coast, and denied he was a Com- munist.
 Harry Bridges has contributed much to the advance of the welfare of workers in the maritime indus try" Curran said.
 He also declared that the Com munist party has been more help full to workers than any other lib- eral group, regardless of what the party's long time objectives might be.

KING CRABS IN QUANTITY FOUND

The discovery of new bed of king crabs in Kachemak Bay by Leon s. Vincent, head of the King Crab Company, has aroused much speculation in lower Cook Inlet circles as to the probable benefits that will come to the district t through commercializing the find, says the Seward Gateway.
 It is the same crab that the Japanese put on the market under the GeiSha label, writes MT. Vim cent. He is going to pack the crabs with expectation of finding out let in Alaska for a good portion of the output.
 The former Seldovia minister has been engaged the past year in in- vestigating Kachemak Bay, his be- lief being that shrimp as we'll as crabs can be found there and that an important business can be built up.
 Since he has turned his attention to his new interests, MT. Vincent and family have been living at Halibut Cove, up Kachemak Bay.
