 T guess it was," he said. "It was fun while it lasted, wasn't it, Jackie?" His tone was very gay again.
 "Yes," Jackie said. Tt was fun while it lasted" And it was all over now. Just like that. With a few words. But this was not fun. She could not keep this up much longer. Her heart was a dead heavy load now, her throat dry and choked. Oh, she must get the rest of it over very, very quickly very, very gladly, indeed.
 She got up from her chair, pulled the Dobbs hat firmly down over the golden halo of her hair, stepped back from Rogers bed. For a moment, only moment, she might have buried her face and given way to the rising tumult of emotion that treatened to sweep all resolution, all reason itself away.
 T must go, Roger" she said. She spoke jerkily. T must go right away. Or I'll miss my train. want to say once more-thank you, oh! so much-for everything-and :. and goodby, Roger. That was the hardest word of all, the most diffi- cult to say.
 Having said it, Jackie turned and almost ran from the room. She did run down the long gloomy narrow hall, as though she could not escape quickly enough, as though she were afraid if she did not keep on running she would turn back to Roger, tell him the truth that this was the end of everything for her.

Scarcity of Skilled Opera tors Shown Among
 Machine Tool Men

Washington, D. C., May 23-Act- ing on information from Connecti-
 cut industries demonstrating the
 need for necessary machine tools to turn out supplies in time of war or national emergency, and a great
 scarcity of skilled operators to do the work, Senator Lonergan CD Connecticut, today communicated with Thomas Dodd, Jr., State Di- rector of the National Youth Ad- ministration, urging consideration of trade school program for unem- ployed youth.
 Senator Lonergan said that as a result of depressed industrial activ- ity for many years, many young peo- pie who ordinarily would have be-
 come apprentices have turned to other activities. Federal relief funds,
 made available through N. Y. A. 1n
 the various states, have made it pos
 sible for some of them to attend
 trade schools, but in the event of quick national recovery, or ln event of war, industries generally concede that the shortage of skilled help would be serious. Senator Lonergan has been informed, he said, that the Connecticut industries have taken on as many apprentices as their vol lurne of business permits, while, at the same time, paying fair wages to regular skilled labor. If the facilities of these industrial plants could be used to train apprentices, by federal financing through the N. Y. A., they say, it would benefit Connecticut ln- dustry and at the same time, pro vide valuable training for young people. Inasmuch as Connecticut is great industrial center, the use o. it's industries during the temporary recession in industrial activity, would provide a useful outlet for federal funds, would help business and ln- dustry in Connecticut, and would not affect the standards and wages of regular labor, but would make their positions more secure through ad- ditional federal income derived by
 the plants from use of their facill- ties for training purposes.

Another amusing skit surviving from

The tolerant quality of I'D Rather

to improve the script, especially the
elimination of that meaningless ballet
