Elva had left the room as
quietly as she had come. She was
at the head of the stairs when the
doorbell shrilled through the
house and old Katie waddled to it.
She opened the door and a tall,
dark young man came into the
hall. Rodney Callman said: I'D

Gloria and Rodney saw Peter

on the small, dark girl coming down
the stairs, the tiny replica Of him.

Gloria didn't listen any longer.
She said: Peter, do you remem-

grinned a little-"and look what
happened to us!" Then sh e
thought, solemnly: "He's still
Rodney, of course completely

Yet, watching his eyes on Jock
and Elva, just now. she had felt
that he was a different Rodney,
somehow a Rodney who, for
the first time in his life, was leav-
ing his fickleness and his insta-
bility behind him And she
thought, too: "A little child shall

Then she was no longer think

He was looking into her eyes
now, his own wretched and tor.
tured. Then, because there never
had been a look in her eyes quite
like this. because there never
had been such a shining moment
between them like this. Peter
said quickly, and there was a
groan of relief under his words:
Don't say anything, Gloria. You
don't need to explain. Oh, my
dear!"
And he put his arms around her
and held her fiercely, hungrily
close to him. He bent her head
back and kissed her lips. He said,
his mouth so close to her she
could feel his lips moving: "You
couldn't have kissed me like that
if you had let me down, Gloria.
I know you couldn't have. Gloria,
you love me. and I've loved you
for such a long, long time. Gloria,
tell me that you love me-"
She told him. She told him
with the sudden, swift surrender
of her body against his, with the
pressure of her slim arms about
his neck, with the tears that were
wet and hot on her face.
Elva Callman was at the door
with Jock in her arms. Her face
was softly radiant. She said sim

times, but politely. There was
a feeling of sadness that prevented
him from seeing anything espe-
cially funny in his wife laugh
ing SO heartily with her first
husband. He had an uneasy feel
ing that she might be just a little
bit sorry she had given up Ed
and married him.
Marie didn't say very much
about Ed and his gifts for a week
or so. She SenSed that it mightn't
be a smart thing to do. But she
just couldn't help mentioning it
The Washington times., 1938-04-25

when she read in the paper that
Ed had gotten a 13.week contract
on the strength Of his Mule per
Torrance. Bill said that that
was very nice. He meant it, too.
But he got kind of sad and quiet.
Marie thought he was jealous,
naturally, and she made it a point
to catch every one of Eds radio
programs. Bill seemed to be will
ing to hear them, too. He would
sit there at the radio, his ears
stuck out a little farther than
usual and his face more like full
moon than ever, and try hard to
get the jokes as they rolled out
of the instrument.
Afterwards, he would smile un-
certainly and repaat a joke he
happened to understand and say:
Seems to me I heard something
like it somewhere before but it
didn't sound as funny as when
your other husband told it."
II WISH" Marie told him, that
you wouldn't allude to Ed as my
other husband It makes me
seem like a pollyander or what
yer a. woman is who has more
than one. Can't you call him
'Ed'?"
why, of course. I didn't mean
anything by it, dear. I don't see
how you ever came to leave him."
you get fed up with anything, "
Marie said carelessly, when you
have too much of it. Now. if he
was only a mixture Of you and
himself, he'd be the ideal husband,
serious with dash Of fun"
DUMB" REMARK
She didn't really mean that.
But she perked up her ears at
what Bill was saying.
1--WE heard" he was saying kind
of wistfully, that the first man a
woman loves is the only man she
ever loves in her life"
Marie's eyelids fell. That was
one of the dumbeSt of all the dumb
remarks Bill had ever made. Did
he think for a moment that Ed
was the first man she had ever
loved? And did he really believe
that tripe?
And didn't he think he might
have something in his personality
that had drawn her to him? Well,
if he didn't, it wouldn't help any
to disilluSion him.
81 don't know about that" she
said uncertainty. ut never &C.
Cured to me-"
Ed got better and better on the
air. His first contract was sue
ceeded by a bigger and better one.
Radio editors gave him a play
once in a while and you may be
sure she relayed their comments
to Bill.
But she had really put the
thought of Ed out of her life. She
was very well satisfied with it as
she lived it now. So she was the
most surprised person in her
suburb when Ed called her up one
day and asked her to luncheon.
She didn't know whether to tell
Bill or not. She felt thrillingly
The Washington times., 1938-04-25

He hadn't known either Morrell
or Marie when Marie got her di-
vorce from Morrell in Reno.
Marie and Ed had lived together
in what had turned out for them
to be the bonds of unholy matri-
mony for nine long years. Before
Marie met Bill, in that little in
term between the time she shook
off Ed and the time she married
him. she was fond of saying that
Morrell had taken the best years
of her life. After meeting Bill
she wasn't so sure.
Ed Morrell was very clever
man. Even his enemies gave him
credit for that. He was an anna
teur comedian and exposed to
convention of Mice, or Brothers of
the Outlet, or any other fraternal
organization to which he belonged,
he would effervesce like a bunch
Of Chinese fire-crackers.
He was pretty funny at home
too, for the first three years Of his
married life and he was bearable
for about two more. But after
that, whenever Marie heard him
start to build up one of his i'm
promptu jokes, she would feel
terrible headache coming on.
WOMEN LIKED HIM
Besides being a wit and come
dian, Ed was also very handsome
man. Women liked him. In fact,
women we're one of the first banes
of Marie's existence. But she al
ways had to say for Ed that women
meant nothing to him.
Ed sold plumbing fixtures.
Now, if Ed had died and left
Marie a widow, she probably would
have come right out and told Bill
on many occasions how clever Ed
had been during his lifetime. But
as he was still alive, she never
did that.
Bill didn't seem to have any
sense of humor. He had very
little of any of the qualities that
Ed possessed. He was a shy man
and a homely man. His ears
stuck out.
Marie had a nice, though I'M
eventful life. She played lot Of
bridge in Wakely, a suburb she
and Bill inhabited. They lived
quietly. They went to a picture
show a couple of nights week.
They had dinner and sometimes
a theatre in New York on the
helps night out. They spent he
rest of their time together reading
or playing checkers.
BECOMES FAMOUS
Life for them would have { lie
on to its inevitable and uneventful
end if Ed hadn't emily
achieved the realization of his
most cherished dream and cap
tured the spotlight.
It happened in a funny way.
Ed was one of the star amateur
performers the night the Benevo-
lent Order of Mules held their an
nual banquet at the Admiral
Hotel. He was one of the featured
speakers.
Ed always shone in a spot like
that. He was well known among
the Mules. anyhow, and when he
rose, he got an ovation that could
be heard from New York to San
Francisco-and was-because the
banquet was a coaSt-to-coast
hook-up.
Marie "just happened" to tune
IN on the Mules program. She
had an idea that Ed might be
called upon and she wanted Bill
to get good idea of just how
clever he was.
And when Ed came on, she said,
"You know who that is, don't
you?" Bill nodded and hitched
up his face, preparing to be po-
lite. Well, Ed vowed them again.
His quips and quirks doubled up
about seven million people with

MONOPOLY QUIZ
TO HEAR LUBIN

GN.SJ The Senate Anti
monopoly Committee will launch
its widely-heralded inquiry tomor-
row with Isador Lubin, Labor De
.partment economist, as the first
witness.
Lubin, who is also a member of
the committee, will be followed
Friday by Willard Thorp, another
in the service of the investigators.
Lubin is scheduled to give de-
tailed analysis Of the nation s
economic setup over the last half
century with particular emphasis
on incomes, wages and employ
ment. Thorp will show the growth
of great corporations.
The third witness will be Leon
Henderson, secretary of the com
mittee and former NRA econo-
mist. He will outline the com.
mittee's procedure in its study OF
the monopoly question.
Senator OMahoney CD OF
Wyoming, chairman of the com
mittee, has repeatedly given as
suranceS that business has moth
ing to fear in the investigation
while the Department of Justice,
antitrust division, has announced
that nothing disclosed to the com.
mittee by witnesses will be used
for the basis of future prosecu-
tiOnS.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-11-30

the ability of huge corporations to
achieve mass production on an
economical scale at prices for
finished products not matched in
any other country, regardless of
the meagerness of their wage
scales.
PUBLIC INTEREST FIRST
A list of some of the American
enterprises which have won world
leadership was given in this col
umn few days ago. To dismem-
Der such organizations would indis-
putably weaken this country'S
power to bring foreign wealth to
our shores, to fill pay envelopes.
Industrial cannons, not pop-guns,
are needed to lombard foreign
markets.
That can be said without for an
instant claiming that no undesir-
able monopoliStic practices have
crept into our economic system.
They have. Searching investiga-
ton doubtless will uncover some
conditions calling for correction.
To effect this should be one of
the chief detectives Of the coming
delving into all the facts. The in
terests of consumers, of the
people. of the nation, must be
rated first.
FEW TRUE MONOPOLIES
Personally, I could not name
half-a-dozen harmful monopo-
lies" Certainly none Of our tow
ering automobile companies en-
joys a monopoly. General Electric
and Westinghouse compete keen
ly. There is no packing monopoly.
In the vast office appliance in
dustry there are keen rivalries.
Commenting on an investiga-
ton conducted by the Bookings
Institution, the public affairs COM
mittee said:
VERY few are true monopo-
lies actually there are only
two firms, the Aluminium Com
pany of America and the United
Shoe Machinery Corporation,
which are actually sole pro-
ducers. Two or three other
concerns, such as the Pullman
Company, have a monopoly in
one product but meet competi-
ton in others"
Business, industry, finance will
interpret the tenor of the temp.
orary economic committees in
vestigation as affording o clue to
the Federal Administration
general attitude towards them.
