That's the only reason I've seen so much of him, outside of flying. Because Rogers the only man I've met who hasn't tried any nonsense. He treats me like a pal, another man. If he ever gets any sticky sentimental ideas I'll send him packing! So there's no use your trying to build up a romance. as you always do.'
 Jackie got up as she finished this somewhat lengthy speech to stand like an accusing angel, brows drawn together fiercely, demanner defiant. She would need defiance and whatever other aid she could summon. She knew this from bitter experience, too. Eve lyn had ruined every friendship with every young man Jackie had had in just this way. Because she was Romance Incorporated, of the stage as well as on, Sne was ue- termined to inject the same spirit into Jackie.

METAL WORKERS| VOTE ON MAY 12|
American Brass Co. to Register Preference on
 Bargaining Agency

The scheduled election among American Brass Go. employees May 12 was discussed at a meeting held yesterday afternoon at CIO head quarters, 53 Spencer avenue, under the auspices of the Waterbury Brass Workers union.
 On the 18th workers will ballot on whether or not they wish to have the Metal Workers association of Waterbury serve as their sole agent in collective bargaining. The Brass Workers union has protested the election to the National Labor Re- lations board, claiming that the as- sociation is a company dominated union.
 Speakers at the meeting included Lou Nara, secretary of the United Auto Workers of Hartford; Eusepi Oswaldo of the Amalgamated Cloth ing Workers; Alex Cashin, CIO re- gional director; and John Driscoll, union secretary.

him." Evelyn allowed a tear to roll down her beautiful face now, that I couldn't think of accept ing him until I knew my little girl was definitely engaged to someone, too"
 But that's ridiculous! Jackie exploded. "Thats disgusting - and utterly selfish, mother, as we'll"
 "SelfshP Evelyn gasped. She looked as though she had been cut to the heart. When I try to be the most unself1sh mother in the world. When put your hap piness before my own ; She burst into real tears now, ap- parently unable to find more words.
 Contrite, Jackie knelt down be- side her. I'm sorry said that" She knew her mother actually be- lieved herself unselfish. But it is ridiculous, you know. You can't expect me to get married, just so you can do it, too." Yet even as she said this, Jackie experienced a qualm of alarm, almost 8 strange foreboding. She knew her mother was capable of continuing to shed becoming tears and throw theatrics, as though she were in the throes of a third act; she was capable of sticking to her decision, no matter how ridiculous it might be until she managed somehow, in spite of any, thing Jackie might do, to win out.
 She knew this because of that same bitter experience that had taught her so much and made her distrustful of anything sentiment tai or romantic, even love.

 "He has!" Jackie forgot her re- sentiment in a burst of interest. John Paul Scott was her mothers most persistent admirer, the most social ly prominent, the wealthiest. Eve lyn had been hoping, for years, that he would ask her to marry him. Jackie liked MT. Scott we'll enough, though she could not imagine any one wanting to marry him. His hair was too thin on top, he was too cor rect and polished and rich. T don't see what you're crying for then" she said. Or what - or Roger have to do with it.
 You have everything to do with it." Evelyn's tears flowed more copi- ously. She could turn them on like a faucet. She knew that Jackie, who despised them for herself, could not bear them from others. You know Paul has to live abroad the better part of the year; he travels exten- sively." AS his wife, she would still be in the limelight, Evelyn thought complecently. But such life never suited Jackie, even if Paul wanted to drag her about with them, which was doubtful since he had seemed more than willing when she had suggested Jackie's future ought to be settled first. q told

 AS a recent writer has said, "The word crisis has become a common place. It confronts us in every mornings newspaper, in every other magazine article. The word is all too appropriate here and now in Am erica with unemployment soaring toward new records. Sometimes, al- though the last few weeks have given us more grounds for hope and confidence, sometimes it seemed as if the powers that be in govern ment and big business were fid- ding while Rome burned, were pa tiently jockeying for advantageous political position, instead of facing the dread realities of our social and economic situation.

Beginning A BreathleSS. Streamlined
 Story of Today's Flying
CHAPTER I

Where have you been all afternoon, darling?" Evelyn Dunn, or Evelyn LaFarge, as she was known on the stage, inquired in the low throaty voice that had held many an audience tense in the last 20 years.
 She was reclining in what she knew was 9 most graceful pose on her chaise lounge with it's profusion of lace, beribboned pillows and it's luxuriant ermine throw. Now she extended her lovely white hands, coral-tipped in an ap- pealing, if somewhat theatri- cal gesture, to draw Jacque- line down beside her.
 "I presume you've been out with that young man Of yours!" She shook a play ful finger before her daugh- ter's pretty, flushed, young face. "It seems to me you've been seeing him a great deal since we moved out from town" Evelyn was pleased now that she had let Jackie persuade her to close the Park Avenue apartment so early in the spring and move to their westches- ter country place.
 Roger Breckner isn't my young man." Jackie protested, withdraw ing her hands. They were as un- like Evelyn's as could be, in their contrasting sun-tanned color, with fingers short and sturdy, con- spicuously minus lacquer of any shade. He's a plot-a darn good one-and he's teaching me to fly, which explains why I've been seeing him. But only today Roger told me I've had enough hours to begin to solo soon.'
 "Why you should want to spend the small legacy your poor dear father left you on learning to fly is beyond me-" Evelyn said for the hundredth time. She could not understand or share her daugh- ter's enthusiasm for flying. Evelyn was far more delicate than any or enid. It was amazing she should have a daughter more like sun flower. as straight and slim and tall, hair and skin as golden. Yet she could not help thinking how lovely the child was though she would not dress properly, insisting upon sport things or such outlandish costumes aS the clumsy, khaki-colored flying suit she wore now. But you cant be flying all the time," she added archly. Take the evenings when you and Roger go dancing or driv- ing these lovely moonlit nights
 We don't look at the moon! We talk about flying then" The warm color sprang up to the roots of Jackie's fair hair. "There's so much to learn. You've no idea, Mother. Besides just taking of and banking and keeping the hori- zon and landing, I mean. There's the mechanics and all the instru- ments, navigation and meteorology Oh, it's too utterly fas- cinating!"
 I'm sure it must be-" Her mother smiled on her fondly. The child could not pun the wool over her bright eyes. No girl could look so flushed and eager just over flying. And you must find Roger fascinating, too such charming boy! Surely you must talk about something interesting some times. Now when I was a girl, all the young men
 "Now, Mother!" Jackie protested. She saw what Evelyn was up to. She should have; bitter experience had been her teacher in th'G. "Theres absolutely nothing between Roger and me-" Her soft mouth set jn it's

In her apartment are cocker bookendS, ash-trays, picture frames. And, of course, there are two real ones: Wigs" and Irish"

BY now you all know about that
salltish caught at Winter Quarter of
Ocean City Sunday, but in the excite
ment attending that noteworthy catch
other equally as interesting things
have been happening in the angling
world and have been passed by unno-
ticed
Either something has gone wrong
with the Gulf Stream or tropical fish
have been afflicted with a bad case of
Wanderlust. A fellow named Bob Doxee,
commercial fisherman who runs a
fish trap off Freeport, Long Island,
found a 48-pound sailfish in his trap
last time he hauled it in. Last year he
took several pompano from the same
net, so tropical fish are nothing new to
him
RumOr comes from Brielle,

fishermen returned with a wa
hoo, another tropical fish.
Off Block Island a marlin was taken.
the exact species of which is in doubt,
but it tentatively has been identified
as blue 1t weighed 84 pounds, and if
the blue tag can be made to stick it
will be the second ever taken in the
North Atlantic and one of the smallest
ever caught.
And Still Some More.
At Ocean City large white marlin
was taken with 10-inch sailfish
caught in its gill. All these things
have happened in less than a week,
and you will get dizzy trying to figure
them out.
But back to that Ocean City sailfish.
Our own Walter McCallum was over
there and saw the thing, and he re-
ports that 1t was a perfect specimen,
complete with sail and tail. 1t was 7
feet inches long and made % Jumps
in the As minutes it took to land it.
That is pretty lively even for such a
jumper as the sail 1t was the first

did it.
