 Yes" said Sally. But If they've gone why do you want to stay? And why did you say at first that it was to be for just overnight and then pay us for a week."
 A crafty expression appeared upon Bulls rugged face.
 Well" he said, T got to tink- in. Dem guys is gonna beat it back to da Cheese an spill wots hap pened Da Cheese is never gonna figger us to stay here. So wot do we do? We lays low here an da Cheese don't know where we are. Den, after a little, Tony an me takes trip to Queens. Da Chese ain't suspectin' nuttin' an dey aint nuttin' to it.

 Sally nodded q think that's very brilliant plan, MT. Griffin. Stay here just as long as you want. Come along now, I'll show you your room" She turned on her heel and went up the stairs. Messrs. Griffin and Spaldini fol- lowed, leaving Kinks standing -mouthed in the hallway.
 When Sally came down again he swooped on her.
 Do you mean to say" he said, that you're actually going to put those chimpanzes up?"
 T most certainly am. You of all people should know that we're running business. I'm not turn ing away anybody. Particularly a couple of charming gentlemen who pay in advance"
 We could go to the police" said Kinks doubtfully
 Well do nothing of the kind" said Sally.
 On the following afternoon there was a little trouble with Mrs Hardness. Mrs. Hardness was not partial to MT. Griffin and MT. Spaldini.
 We're leaving tonight" she told Sally. T don't know what kind of place this is. Those men are rough, loud and coarse"
 She had elected to deliver this edict in the living room where MT. Hardness was tampering con- tentedly with light wire. And before Sally could reply MT. Hark- ness spoke, most unexpectedly.
 T refuse to leave this house." he said.
 Mrs. Hardness whirled on him. Were her ears betraying her? Alvin Hardness, what do you mean?"

WOMEN HIT HARDEST
BY UNEMPLOYMENT
Labor Bureau Reports They Lost
More Ground, 192S-1936,
Than Did the Men.
Ely the Associated Press

Ely the Associated Press.
Mary Anderson, director of the
Labor Departments Women's Bureau,
reported yesterday that an eight-State
industrial survey showed women were
hit harder than men by unemployment
between 1923 and 1886.
THE picture is not clear cut. but
the limited data seems to indicate"
she said, that in the industries i'm
portant in woman employment, women
have lost ground in more cases than
men have. In the greatest employer
of women in factories-the textile in
dustry-women definitely lost out in
relation to men in the States for which
we have data"
The survey covered Illinois, Massa-
chusetts. Michigan, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vir-
ginia. In 1880 these States employed
about SIS per cent Of all the women
engaged in manufacturing industries.
In clothing and canning industries,
however, the survey showed the pro-
portion of women employees increased.
On the other hand, men made
marked advance over women in en-
ployment in the hotel and restaurant
industry.

j. s. TRADE THREAT
IN LARGER REICH
Sudeten Area to Afford
Germany More Goods for
Latin America.
BY the Associated Press,

~
Germany's acquisition of the Sudet-
enland of C2echoslovakia will give
her stronger. sharper weapons with
which to fight the United States
economically in Latin America, ex-
perts here said yesterday.
The Germans will have more man
ufactured articles to sell Latin Amer
Ca, they explained. and more capacity
to absorb the raw materials of the
Western Hemisphere.
The year 1899 consequently will be
marked, they predicted. by increased
economic conflict between Germany
and the United States in this
hemisphere.
If the German-Sudeten merger goes
through in one form or another, it
is expected here that Germany will
take over the glassware manufactur-
ing plants Of the Sudetens, their
leather glove plants and some textile
manufacturing concerns, including
export trade in cotton knit gloves.
Market for Raw Materials.
In the opinion expressed by experts
here, these industries will give Hitler
a broadened list of saleable articles
to offer the countries Of Latin Amer
lea in return for their raw materials.
Moreover, the addition of two to three
million persons to the German popu-
lation. an accretion composed of a
manufacturing people who must rely
on imports for much of their food
stuffs and raw materials, will pro-
vide a greater market for Latin
American products.
Experts here estimate that Ger
many's share Of the Latin American
trade in 1888 Figures are not vet
complete, of course) will run to be-
tween IA and 14l2 per cent. The
United States probably will retain her
1887 share of about BAT per cent,
they said
In 1929, however, after the expected
absorption OF the Sudetenland. and
when the absorption OF Austria has had
time to make itself felt. Germany's
share Of Latin American commerce will
show an appreciable increase, it was
predicted.
U. 8. to Fight Tor Share.
Whether this will be at the expense
OF the United States or Of other coun-
tries remains to be seen. American
officials are determined that it will not
be at the expense Of this country-if
they can help it. They concede, how
ever. that Germany is fighting vigor-
ously for the Latin American market
and that her share, rising from about
7 per cent Of the total after the World
War, has doubled
Germany's acquisition Of new ter
ritory and manufacturing plants not
only enables her to increase her own
trade with Latin America, experts
declared; she can offer herself also
as broker for the sale of Latin
American products to larger section
OF Europe. AS her territory extends,
it naturally touches on an ever larger
frontier of other countries. Already
Latin American nations are finding
that a certain percentage Of the prod
ucts they sell Germany is being resold.

SECURITY POST
SEENF0R LEWIS
Board Position Expected to
Compensate for Loss of
Seat in House.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Representative David j. Lewis who
recently carried the New Deal banner
for President Roosevelt during the un-
successful senatorial purge" cam
paign in Maryland, is expected by some
of his House colleagues to receive soon
an appointment to the Social Security
Board from the President.
In indorsine him in the primary
contest against Senator Tydings and
urging Maryland voters to support
him, the President emphasized that
Mr.. Lewis was really the father of
social security legislation.
1t has been generally expected that
Mr.. Roosevelt would give Representa-
tive Lewis some important appoint
ment to compensate for the loss of his
House seat, which he probably could
have retained for life. Some such
agreement was made before Mr.. Lewis
entered the race for the Senate, some
Of his House colleagues insist. Mr..
Lewis term in the House expires when
the next Congress meets January 3.
May Replace Miss Dewson.
After Mr.. Lewis suffered defeat in
a contest for the Senate in 1916
when DR.. Joseph l. France was elected
as epublican-President Wilson
appointed him to the Federal Tariff
Commission and he held this post for
eight years.
On the Social Security Board, ac-
cording to Capitol reports which could
not be verified, Mr.. Lewis is expected
to succeed Miss Mary w. Dewson, who
has had leave of absence from the
board for couple of months because
of poor health. She is still absent.
1t also is reported that Miss Dew
son, who organized women voters in
support of President Roosevelt and
was the first woman appointed vice
chairman of the Democratic National
| Committee, is needed for similar Or
ganization work for the coming presi-
dental campaign. At Miss Dewson's
office, it was said they had not been
informed Of any pending designation
Miss DewsOn Well Qualified.
Those who are discussing the
prospect Of Representative Lewis re-
ceiving this appointment emphasize
that Miss Dewson was exceptionally
we'll qualified for her position. An
industrial economist, she had taken
special courses in the School for So
cial Research eight years ago. She
also was secretary of the Commission
on Minimum Wage Legislation for
Massachusetts, and was a member of
the Advisory Council of President
Roosevelt's Committee on Economic
Security
Miss Dewson has written economic
briefs in defense of the minimum wage
laws before the Supreme Court
1t is said around the Capitol that
President Roosevelt would be very re-
luctant to accept Miss Dewson's resig-
nation from the Social Security Board,
and would do SO only at her own in
sistence. Several prominent members
of Congress doubted" if she would
resign because of her great interest
in the establishment of this phase
