o'clock at Junior high school for all

or not, to organize softball teams in

All were asked to come prepared to

"Come on up to the mezzanine!"
he ordered, huskily, taking her
arm.

reminded him.

She laughed long and happily
then. Bill went back and ordered
a waiter to bring them coffee and
fruit juice to the mezzanine floor,
which he saw was unoccupied this
early. They walked up iron stairs
and sat at a writing desk, where
an archway looked down on the
main lobby.
Bill sighed heavily, and earnest

her.

Ellen instantly turned serious
too.
IT didn't think you were, Bill.
And thank you. It is a great COM
pliment to a girl, to be told that a
man wants to make love to her."
"Um." Bill was giving minute
inspection to a piece Of the hotel

of tremendous Importance. He

CHAPTER 10

SLEEP is a marvellous thing.
It is second only to food. It is a
miracle worker sometimes, and al
ways mind freshener. The deep
thinking we did last evening and
the profound conclusions we
reached at midnight, nearly always
seem a trifle shallow when the next
breakfast is done.
Bill was up early and berating
himself. He walked from the hotel
half way up the rocky mountain
against which the hotel snuggled,
came back and devoured eight pam
cakes with syrup and told himself
he was a fool. Just outside the
dining room door again he came
face to face with Ellen.
There, staring rather foolishly,
Bill Baron felt blood swelling
around his ears, then promptly
blushed doubly because of that.
He hadn't been so lacking in nom
chalance in 10 years, and he wasn't
any sheltered shy person either.
It angered him momentarily that
a little woman no bigger than a
minute should so get his goat.
Good mornings" Ellen greeted,
and if ever a voice was pure mu-
sic, hers was.
She stood there a vision of
sweetness, waiting not dutifully or
impatiently, but expectantly. She
wasn't sure what she was expect
ing, but-"Well, here I am" she
added. did you sleep wen?"
Ellen's cheeks were plump any,
way. Her face and lips had none
of the half-simpering, half-mod-
ernistic, pseudo-smartness seen in
current magazine Illustrations and
on the smoother shop window dunn
mics. Ellen Dale was girl from
an apple orchard in springtime. A
girl in a swing with birds nesting
in the oak tree that bore the ropes.
A bare-armed girl in a daisy field.
A girl on rock looking at her re-
Election in lily pool. Sophistica-
ton? She could act it a little
when she had to in the musical
movies that had brought her fame.
But she showed none Of it this
morning, and she wasn't acting at
all. Mr.. William Daniel Baron
stared at her for long seconds, and
swallowed hard.
Glory" he muttered, finally,
regaining some of his self-control,
but still admiring her.
I'm sure you must have seen
me before, Bill" she suggested.
restraining her smile.
He smiled back. Eyes, thanks.
Did your" He was answering her
question Of greeting, but so many
seconds ago that she had almost
forgotten it.
You told me last night that you
were going to make love to me.
Can you begin now, Bill?"
If the poor Texan had been be-
wildered and bewitched a moment
ago, he was even more so now.
Love does not operate that way.
That is, not along specific orderly
lines. But Ellen stood with her
hands primly folded. waiting, as if
she expected his wooing to start

Roosevelt's unwillingness, in Geor-

opponents is exposing him to the
danger of serious loss of prestige.
"Mr. Roosevelt" said the Roam

strongly the rectitude of his mo-
tiyes, is impatient Of any opposition.
1t is dangerous quality, albeit =

cupy positions of great power, and
it may easily, and often does, lead

just why Mr.. Ickes, to make some
trifling point III speech in far-off
Tacoma, should call Virginia's
grand old man "hypocrite." Espe-
cially as MIR. Ickes has now had
six years in Washington to watch
Mr.. Glass, and might have known
that nothing was so calculated to
bring support to Sen. Willard f.
Tydipgs, over the river in Mary

put in the position Of unfairly at
lacking Garter Glass. For Glass is
as much admired in Maryland as in

wishing to construct its own electric
distribution system.
President Roosevelt has frequent
1y commended that where a local
community decides it wishes to be
served by municipal system the
local authorities should first seek to
buy out the existing utility system
rather than resort to the economic
waste of duplication.
In the last session OF congress an
attempt was made to attach an
amendment to the relief bill provid-
ing that no money should be pro-
vided for constructing public owner
ship electric systems in communi-
ties now served by private utilities.
This movement attained 30 much
strength in the senate that Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent for Sen. Alben
w Barkley, Democratic leader of
the upper house.
Barley later promised on the
floor Of the senate that no such
loans would be made to communi-

vately owned electric systems un-
less the ownership OF the private
utility refused reasonable offer for
the purchase OF its property
But--the PWA does not make

WASHINGTON.-Laws sometimes
work in curious ways, as the con-
gressional committee investigating
the Tennessee Valley authority is
discovering. The committee spent
days going into referendum held
in Chattanooga over the question OF
whether the city would issue s8,000,-
600 of bonds for the purpose of con-
structing an electric distribution
system duplicating the one now
owned in that city by private power
interests.
Most of the testimony was over
the fight waged on that bond issue,
though some of it was on later at
tempts to force vote on city ordi-
nance the effect Of which would be
to forbid such duplication.
1t developed that a so-called citi-
zens and taxpayers committee spent
nearly S24, 900 fighting the bond is
sue, but was defeated. The chief
object of the committee counsel,
Francis Biddle of Philadelphia. was
TO show that this citizens move
ment was financed by the power in
terests, and that its campaign was
one of misrepresentation.
Now comes the curious part I'M
der the Tennessee law the local
company, which was in danger of
extinction If the referendum went
for the bond issue, could not spend
one cent to combat the public own
ership advocates-even for newspa-
per advertising to tell its story. But
it is perfectly legal, under the Ten
nessee law, for corporation outside
the state to send money into Tennes-
see to fight for the local company's
interests.
So the Commonwealth & Southern
company of which Wendell L. Will
kie is head, furnished $4,000 of the
money used by this so-called citi-
zens and taxpayers committee. Its
interest was that it owned more
than 90 per cent of the common
stock, and a good deal of the pre-
ferred stock, of the company which
would be badly hurt if the referen-
dunn went against it.
Which would seem to clear up an
other reason why the New Deal is
opposed to holding companies.

Tue Chattanooga Papers
Engage In Bitter RoU

But even more surprising is the
use of federal Investigators and the
examining of witnesses in what is
really a bitter row between the two
afternoon newspapers in Chattanoo-
ga.
The older of these papers, the
Chattanooga News, is headed by
George Fort Milton, who recently
spent many months in Washington
on the payroll of the state depart
ment at pay rate OF $4,000 a year
as some sort of assistant.
Milton has always been interested
in national politics. He was a hard
hitting lieutenant of William G.. Nc
Adoo during the famous convention
fight at Madison Square Garden
when the religious issue was pre-
dominant. 1t was generally assumed
in Washington, when he came to
the state department. that his real
job was to be sort of press agent
for the presidential ambitions OF
Cordell Hull, though this turned out
to be hope among the admirers of
Mr.. Hull-who hoped this signified
the secretary of state was really
going after the nomination-rather
than an actually.
So the News communicated to
Francis Biddle, counsel for the IVA
committee, these facts, plus the fact
that the purchaser, Harold Humph-
reys, had promoted two separate
attempts to get referenda in Chat
tanooga on an ordinance which
would forbid duplication of existing
electric facilities.
Whereupon the witch hunt was on.

Senator Glass and Ickes
Exchange Compliments

When Sen. Carter Glass de-
nounced PWA Administrato Harold
L. Ickes the other day as "con-
firmed blackguard," after Honest
Harold had attacked the Virginia
senator as "hypocrite" who bites
the hand that feeds it, there was
ground for thinking that perhaps the
Old Dominion is behind its senator.
Which is passing strange, not be-
cause Virginia admires Senator
Glass-it has been proving that
these many years-but because 1t
had been thought that the New Deal
was very strong in Virginia. In
fact, poll taken two years ago by
the Richmond Times Dispatch
showed the state to be overwhelm-
ingly for President Roosevelt.
But it would appear that the
purge has changed things somewhat
down below the Potomac. For in
stance, in a speech few days ago
in Richmond, the historic cap
ital of the state, Rep. Dave E. Sat
terrified dashed away at the attempt
of the federal administration to in
tervene in state primaries. That
way, he insisted, lay relationships.
Now this was not a speech deliv-
cred in the heat of a primary cam
paign by candidate fearful of what
might happen to him. It was de-
llvered more than two weeks after
the Virginia primary.
On the same day on which his
speech was printed the Roanoke
Times over in the sixth congress
sional district (Mr. Satterfeld's dis.
trict is the third) published a very
temperate, but also very critical
editorial of the purge idea and OF
