II was not quite four when Judd
wheeled into the hospital drive
way. A dim light burned above
the entrance.
Kay was out of the car before
it stopped.
Her white coat caught on the
window lever and she slid out Of
1t.
Out of Place
She was weirdly out of place in
the clean, harsh corridor. Grim
son skirts trailing. bracelets clink-
ing softly, little high heels tap
ping sharply.
Judd guided her into the office.
A man. slumping over a desk,
Strengthened.
Kay opered her lips, but no
words came. She raised fear
stricken eyes to Judd. He said:
We've come about the accident
case"
(Which accident, buddy? That's
about all we have-accidents."
The man stifled a yawn and Kay
wanted to scream.
1.-TWO men and a girl-an hour
ago"
"oh. yes. Haven't had report"
indifferently.
viii you get a report ?' Judd
asked in no uncertain tones.
Accidents may be all in the
days work for you but"
Kay Whispers
please :" Kay whispered,
curling her fingers around Judd's
hand.
The man reached for telephone.
There was wait while drums
beat in Kay's brain, while the seq
onds stretched like an elastic band.
The man inquired, he said, "Uh-
huh," several times. He replaced
the receiver and strolled to the
counter where they waited.
THE girl is only slightly hurt
he told them. THE chauffeur's
condition is serious, the man is
dead-he died about fiji"
STEADY" Judd said to Kay as
she cried out. Putting an arm
around her he Numbered at the
man. who are they? You damn
fool-we're not sure :"
why didn't you say so?" going
back TO the telephone. When
people come in inquiring for folks
they generally know their names,
he said disgustedly.
During the next wait Kay hud-
died against Judd with her face
hidden.
As long as she lived she would
never forget that moment.
Into the instrument the man
repeated. MFR. and Mrs. Jerome
Bonniwell-sndt the chauffeur ?"
Doesn't Wait
Judd waited for no more. He
picked Kay up as If she were a
child and carried her through the
horribly clean corridor.
The man looked curiously after
them. then shook his head and
again slumped behind the desk.
Judd started the car. Making
Kay comfortable against his Shout
der he drove with one hand.
She was as limp as a piece of
crimson silk. her long lsshes made
dark smudge on her cheeks,
palms up her hands lay still.
1t was as il she had been pulled
from a soaring fire. Judd headed
for an all night cafe.
Kay
"Um-hm-m," not stirring.
All right ?"
Weakly she nodded.
Cup OF coffee :"
Again the nod.
Two Mugs
Judd brought two thick mugs
from the cafe on a battered tray,
and two huge doughnuts in cello
plane wrappers.
Kay drank her coffee and re-
fused the doughnut. Judd ate them
both.
mo one can say We didn't try
he observed.
In the reaction from certain dis
sster Kay giggled. Then. But
where is Larry" she asked
: blankly.
I'm bet you four dollars he's
home in bed
Dawn streaked the eastern sky
and with it Rays courage re-
turned.

WPA WORKERS
RETAIN JOBS

The PWA situation in the Ely area
and the Fourth commissioner district
in regard to longtime employees re-
manned unchanged today with the ac-
ton of the PWA commissioner in tenn
porarily continuing his stay of dis
missals apparently securing positions
for the time being.
Tuesday the house killed the admin
istration's lending bill, passed Saturday
by the senate, which contained an
amendment prohibiting the dismissing
of longtime employees unless they could
find other jobs, if the project on which
they were working would be impaired,
Tor if they would suffer personal hard
ship through losing WPA employment
Immediately following the senate's
action on the bill, the WPA commits
Isioner stopped dismissing employees who
had 10 months or more of consecutive
employment. a provision of the new
relief act. But the action on the part
of the house changed the picture en-
Itirely.
It is believed that an attempt will
still be made to modify the provision Of
the relief act in regard to longtime
WPA workers.

JULY IDEAL
MONTH HERE
Warm Days, Cool Nights Mark
First of Territory's Two
Summer Months.

The first of Ely's two summer months,
July, passed by without much summer
being recorded. An inspection of the
records kept by the U. S. forest service
reveals that the only mark in the COS
was the 81 chalked up for July IL.
The average high temperature for the
month was 80.7 degrees, warm weather
but far from being hot. The average
low was 58.7 degrees. The coolest read
ing was taken during the night of July
l, when the mercury dropped to 46.
A total of 1.34 inches of rain fell dur
ing the month. Much cloudy weather
was in evidence, although rain fell on
only 10 days. But four days were re-
corded as being entirely clear
For the most part south winds famed
the countryside, but apparently by the
time they reach here they were COM
paratively cool.
While local people may have COM
planned little about the lack of hot
weather, tourists found great relief from
the oppressive heat of the middlewest
Elys greatest drawing card next to its
lakes, warm days and cool nights, were
again the rule during July.

NICE KITTY!
Forest Service Has Pet

The pussy was in the habit of COM
ing out from under the cabin every eve
ming, yawning and stretching itself,
and then trotting around to the door
where it begged for handout. Nose
tilted upward, it stood in front of the
screen and peered hungerly inside.
But the attendant at the tower did
not like the idea of literally sharing
his bunk and part of his board with the
unlimited and unwelcome guest. So he
plugged up the den with rocks.
When Karl Moessner, junior forester
stationed here, was at the site a few
days ago, the towerman had succeeded
in ending the dual occupancy of the
cabin property, but the skunk was still
on deck to pick up any scraps that
might come his way.

The constantly increasing
debt of the federal government
amounts to more now than $500
for each man, woman and
child in the United States.
Figure it up for yourself. The
future of this city alone is OBJ
ligated to the extent of nearly
two million dollars for the fed
eral debt besides our own pri-
vate indebtedness. The most
regrettable part of the whole
matter is that America has not
the courage to pay it's own way
now but is saddling this debt
on the coming generation.
In the last fiscal year the
federal government expended
more than nine billions of dol
lars. This is nearly $40 per
inhabitant of this country of
ours or about $53O,57O for Ely
alone. Larry Rossman of
Grand Rapids says: "The myth
that the federal government
bears gifts to the people is the
most dangerous financial
preachment of the day. Your
children, my children and their
children will be compelled to
pay for these gifts" The de-
ficit for the last fiscal year
ending June 80, was only
$3,5OO,0OO,OOO, bringing the
total debt of the country to
$4O,5O 100000.

The blow was great, the shock severe,
We little thought the end was near,
And only those who have lost can tell
The pain of parting without farewell.

Friends may think the wound is

But they little know the sorrow
That lies within our hearts concealed.
