MRS. FREDERIC HENNY,
W1 wife of Captain Henny,
has a splendid idea for the
younger Army-Navy crowd. It
goes back some years ago when
she and a group of juniors, in
cluding Eugene LIE, daughter Of
the M arine Commandant,
thought that newcomers in
Washington service circles
should know each other. Well,
they had an excellent organiza-
ton, with much swank and what
not to go with it.
The committees were headed
by such sought after bachelors
as Lieut.. Frances Grayling and
Major E. S. j. Irvine, both aides
at the White House. The balls
given by this group were the
latest things in ultra goings on
and finally the whole thing
got so involved with elegance,
heavy engraved invitations and
so on, that the Army and Navy
Juniors couldn't afford it
themselves. So it collapsed
from too much overhead. The
organization now being consid-
cred will be kept simple, even if
it kills the members.
There will be no dues, there
will be a big tea with blanket in

BOB THOMPSON. APPEALS
FOR DEMOCRAT HARMONY

Durham, Sept. 8, (AP)-Robert L.
Thompson, secretary to Governor
IIoey, and keynoter for the North
Caroline Young Democrat invention,
urged today that Democrats retain
liberality and tolerane within our
own ranks" in order to continue in
the rule of the liberal party.
h He proposed a party purge" not Of
individuals but "of the poison Of in
tolerance in preparation for the 1910
campaign.
Thompson contended that the Demo
cratic party has room for and need
of Senator George, of Georgia, as wei;
as Senator Wagner of New York. It
is not homogeneous to find Smith. of

alto voice. She could row, ride,
swim, golf, play tennis, drive a
car. She had been leading lady in
her class play, and starred a time
or two in Junior league play.
i But she did. not know the things
that were necessary to obtain a
job. She smiled, remembering that
she had forgotten one qualification.
She could wear clothes, and design
them.
All this had happened an hour
before. Now Judy was on her way
home. She saw tall shoulders in
the crowd before her, and caught
her breath so swiftly that it hurt.
There was only one person in all
the world who walked with that
easy, nonchalant grace. Only one
head that faced the world so fear
lessly. She should have known
that some day she would meet
Craig on the street. Paths always
crossed. Maybe not for a long
time. Maybe quite fleetingly. But
always, always there came a mo-
ment when two people who had
laughed and played together looked
at each other and remembered. !.
She wondered if her nose was
shiny. One sole was thin. The
damp pavement made her foot
ache. She was glad people couldn't
see soles.
She had avoided Ronald, at first,
the day she saw him in a crowd,
but she had no sense Of evading
Craig. He was here. She thought
no further.
Then the tall man turned his
head. The profile was strange.
Craig had not come. The unfa-
miliar face restored the clarity of
her vision. No, she must not
watch for him. She must not see
q tall man in a crowd and follow
hopefully, just to know that he
was near. Craig's way and her
way had parted. He belonged to
somebody named Mary who did
bits over the radio.
Her face was white and tired and
disappointed when she entered the
hotel lobby. A man in a green
leatherette chair that was too
small for his long legs looked seri-
GUS when he saw her. He came to
her quickly.
.'Mr. Birrell!" Judy made her
voice cool. ''FIow nice of you to
disregard my desires and locate
me. I suppose you want me to
say I'm glad to see you? I'm not,

Never mind, I'll do the re-
Joicing for both Of us. I don't

consumed. Production had to start ur,
and it was purely coincidence that
the turn came just as the WPA and
PWA faucets were opened.
From now on, however, public
spending will be one of the strong in
fluences on business. Between now
and February first torrent of dol
lars-nearly three billion of them
will pour out of the United States
Treasury. Every thirty days now for
the next five months Uncle Sam will
hand out half billion dollars in an
other spectacular attempt to spend
the nation back to prosperity. Such
a huge stream of dollars will have a
powerful effect on trade and industry
this TALL.
Farmers Dollar Buys More.
There are other factors that will
give business a real impetus in the
months ahead. Cash receipts from
bountiful crops is an important one.
I estimate that farm buying power
will be off only about 10 per cent from
year ago, despite the heartbreaking
crash in farm prices. We are having
bumper harvests. Those extra bushels
of wheat, bales of cotton, and pounds
of butter will help to offset lower
prices. Also the dollars they bring in
will purchase more goods today thar
they would have purchased a year
ago. The farmers 1888 dollar will buy
as much as $1.06 would have bought
in 1887.
Another bullish factor is more
money for wage earners. Rising indus
trial activity has already lifted the
buying power of mill towns and fac
tory cities. I estimate that $25, 0OO, 900
more per week is now flowing into
pay envelopes than three months ago.
Much of this money is being used to
clear up back bills, but it will soon be
flowing into new sales. Retail trade
right now is less than 10 per cent be-
low year ago in dollar volume, while
in unit volume it is running along
stride for-stride with last Labor Day.
Heavy Retail Trade Expected.
Hence, l am bullish on business in
general and retail trade in particular
for this fall. Prices of goods are at
tractive and people will have the cash
