Raye gave at the Raleigh hotel
that Phil told Kate Douglas about
that conversation.
May an old maid give you some
advice, boy?" Kate said to him.
Anything you say always goes
with U.S." he told her..
well, then, take your own adj.
vice, Phillip. There are times
when you will have to be wise for
the both of you. Eleanor is not
quite quick at seeing things that
are close to her."
II don't know what you're get
ting at"
"She wants you to go to Ber-
muda for a holiday. She has her
heart set on it."
Il can't do it, Kate. I've ex-
planned to Nell that want her and
the children to have a holiday. but.
good Lord, I have a job and my
work is as important to me as hers
is to her. Things are piling up
now"
ITO both Of you, your marriage
is the most important thing.
you've never had honeymoon.
You've never had a holiday to-
gether since you've been married.
You told her that it was necessary
for people to share play as well as
work."
Phil grinned at her, after taking
a long look at his wife who was
the flushed and lovely center of
group Of people across the room.
"She's having a good time," he
said. "She loves this. She loves
being interviewed and posing for
pictures"
"And she-and you-are both at
crucial point in your lives. There
will be more interviews and more
pictures. She's going to be celeb
rity, Phil. You don't want her to
find her life so full of exciting
things that her marriage-and her
companionship with you-belong
to the past. I'm warning you, Phil,
that you've got to get firm grasp
on the situation right now, or
you're going to run into shoals"
That night Phil Parrish made a
decision that was forever to settle
his place in Eleanor's life.

CHAPTER THIRTY


WHEN HER new publishers told
Eleanor Parrish that they were
giving a literary tea for her, they
asked her to submit the list of
guests she wished to invite.
Eleanor's laugh when she spoke
to Phil about it had held a note of
bravado. She had been startled to
find that her list contained but
three names. OF all the people she
knew, she knew but three persons
who understood her, her aims, her
accomplishments sufficiently to
share her triumph. These three
were Kate Douglas, Aida Somers
and Kit Cranston.
tits too silly" she said to Phil"
to send in a list of three or four
names, and simply can't put down
the names of the girls in the bridge
club or the golf club. They wouldn't
understand what it's III! about, or
enjoy it Bit"
Its your party. isn't it?" Phil
had returned.
Yes. darling, of course it is, but
if I'm going to be somebody of
some Importance, I'd rather like to
have friends who at least speak
the same language. I wish 1 knew
a few of the people we ought to
have people whose names are
news. I know perfectly well that
the tea is simply matter of get
ting publicity.
"Oh," her husband answered,
pretending to catch on belatedlv.
Then, maybe you'd like me to in
vite few of the fellows 1 know"
He scrubbed some names on a
sheet of paper hastily and gave
it to her.
Eleanor read the list, which in
Guided the names Of two of the
leading theatrical producers, a
night club singing star, all of the
widely read columnists, a young
banker who was patron of the
arts, a moving picture producer,
the star of the seasons hit show, a
woman who had won recent Euro
pean prize for her sculpture.
Eleanor looked up from the list
to regard her husband with sur
prise and a kind of wonder at her
realization she knew so little about
him, about his life when he was
away from her. That his business
brought him contacts with the
great and near-great she knew, but
that he included them among his
friends she had not realized.
She said: Are these people
really FRIENDS of yours, Phil ?"
Sure" he said casually. They'll
all come. They'll dress up your
party"
Il should imagine they would.
f.. Phil"
Eyes ?"
why haven't I met them?"
Phil had picked up a book in
which he was interested. He didn't
raise his head. "What? 2"
"You know all these people. You
must know them rather we'll to call
them friends. just don't under
stand why we mean it
just strikes me as being rather odd,
that's ALL"
Phil flung leg over the arm of
his chair and perused his page in
terestedly.
Eleanor said: eff you don't mind,
Phil, I'd like to talk about this"
He closed the book, putting a fin
ger in his place. "Shootw he in
vited.
This is something that seems
rather important to me-"
He ran his fingers through his
hair and suppressed a sigh.
You know how bored I am with
the kind of life have to lead. Il
can't. understand why you haven't
made the society of scintillating
people possible for me, too"
Phil tossed the book on a table.
he lit his pipe and eXhaled a plume
of smoke before he answered:
Don't take that tone. Nell.

Famous Sayings

Attention to markets Iof Ine lla-
tional production has OF late SO
centered on the foreign outlets that
a very significant report OF the
Social Security board has gone al
most without notice.
This report shows clearly, from
figures about which there can be
no dispute, that the purchasing
power of the average American
wage worker is sadly below what
it should be. Wages credited to the
old-age insurance accounts OF more
than 30,157,694 covered workers IN
1887 totaled $26,825, ,366,24l, an aV-
erage of $500.
Even if this figure had included
all wages paid to these workers,
even wages above $4,000 mot cover
ed by the acD, the average would
have been only 1915. Only three
per cent of the workers received
over $4,000 and against this must
be balanced some $3000-or-better
incomes received from more than
one employer, which do come under
the act.
SO it is fair to conclude that
more than 30,000,000 workers worked
throughout 1887 Ga better year than
1889 for $500 apiece.
InaSmuch as social workers are
unanimous that a family needs
$1,000 a year to live in ordinary
health and comfort, it is all toe
plain why surpluses of basic COM
modities pile up.
People just can't afford to buy
them.
1t is unlikely that the average o.
the remainder of employed workers
is higher than those covered, fol
those not coverd include farm anc
service workers, whose cash income
is notoriouSly small.

excellent chance of passage; il they
don't. it does not.
Meanwhile, the Associated Far
mers is coming under scrutiny from
an entirely different angle.
When the subject of invcstiga-
ton of the organization was first
broached it was pointed out that
the newly Civil Liberties
Unit of the Department of Justice
had been set up to inquire into
precisely The kind OF charges that
have been made against the ASSo-
ciated Farmers. 1t was no sur
prise. therefore. when the Depart
ment of Justice recently issued the
following statement:
Hundreds of complaints have
been received at the Department
of Justice regarding the ALLEGED
illegal activities of the Associated
Farmers. an organization operating
in several states on the west coast
IN view of this fact Bates Booth
special assistant to the attorney
general. assigned to the Civil Lib
critics Unit of the criminal division
has been directed to proceed to the
west coast to make appropriate in
ouires so that the department may
better determine what policy Shoulo
be- pursued in the matter.

WASHINGTON - The ASSociat-
cd Farmers of California may be
the instrument for extending the
LaFollette Civil Liberties Commit
tee and enabling it to investigate
the Associated Farmers. The COM
u ittee'S Investigations had been eX-
peeted to close this spring for lack
of funds.
\ formal move To provide the
committee 100000 additional has
been made by Senator Schwellen-
bach and Downey. and is due for a
showdown before this session ends.
The partially completed inveStl-
cation OF the Associated Farmers
by the committee. already famous
case. may lead to continuation Of
the committee beyond its expected
time. The National Grange, the
c. I. O. the A F. of l. and the
Associated Farmers itself are back
ing the demand that the investiga-
ton be completed.
When it was revealed here a
few weeks ago that such an in
Xcstigation was partly completed,
the Associated Farmers sent to both
Canifornia Senators a request that
they be given a chance to be heard.
This request is presented by
Schwellenbach and DoWney as one
reason for extending the commit
tees life. Thus if the committee
is extended and the Associated Far
ners is thoroughly investigated. the
organization will itself be partly
responsible.
Neither Senator LaFollette nor
Senator Thomas, who have borne
the brunt Of the committees work
for three years. has felt free to ask
additional funds or extension for
the committee. because when a de-
ficiency appropriation was voted
last year to enable it to complete
certain unfinished work, it had been
tacitly understood that the commit
tee would 60 out of existence this
spring. Now others, including the
proposed investigated itself, are car
rying the ball for extension.
Right now the resolution is II

is favorably reported will probably
depend largely on the vigor witt

How would you like it if you had to

officers every time you appeared III pup

The novelty of it might prove enter
tanning the first time or tWo-but pretty
soon the novelty would wear OFF, ana
YOU would be left with a very great dis
taste for any public appearances.
There is a wide gap between most Oh
us and the necessity for such guard
but the gap does not prevent our SYM
pathy for Charles A. Lindbergh ana MS
wife and children. For them the heed
is very real Most lamentable TACT OF
all is that the police are needed not to
prevent criminal attacks, but to save the
Lindberghs from the public.
Lindbergh has been criticized severely
for stunning publicity, for lodging re-
porters, and for refusing to make public
appearances. Study his personal history
since that famous transatlantic flight,
and you cannot help sympathizing with
him.
The kidnapping and death of Lind
bergh's small son, partly attributed TO
the great amount of publicity he had re-
ceived, was enough to sour any man on
public adulation. The disgusting eXhlol-
tions in which he has been nearly mobbed
by frenzied autograph hunters and hero
worshippers time and again would, by
themselves, give anyone but moving
picture star chronic grudge against the
world
Lindbergh cannot appear in public

without being jostled, showed, torn and

CHILD HEALTH IMPORTANT
TO NATIONS FUTURE

National Child Health Day brings to
the attention of the United States again
this year the important part physical
wellbeing plays in the national structure.
A healthy nation is a sound nation;
disease ridden nation cannot be anything
but weak.
Remembering this, we find cause for
the serious consideration due methods
of improving the health of American
children, particularly in the schools.
Much has been done along this line.
Much remains to do.
Our laws provide that every child
within certain age limit must attend
school. We have not yet reached the
advanced stage in which we will provide
not only the educational facilities for
the children, but facilities enabling them
to take full advantage of the education
offered them. A sick child cannot alb
sOrb learning as a well one can.
Authorities in Imperial county esti-
mate that % per cent of the children in
school need medical attention. In one
FL Centre school with an enrolment of
about 700, Us children need attention.
Facts have proved that, Of these, SO will
be provided with attention financed by
their parents, SO more will go without
the needed care unless it is given by d
public agency, and the remaining SO
will receive partial treatment because
of their parents efforts. In other words,
one third of ailing children can depend
upon their parents, one third cannot,
and one third are borderline cases.
There are many worthy organizations
interested in helping the poverty-strck-
en- and borderline children, but their
efforts at best are only scattered. By
their very nature they cannot be any
thing else What is needed is we'll
planned public effort to assure constant
attention to the health of all youngsters
for the good of the youngsters and of
the community.

Willis Thornton's Editorial Or
Biooest of All Markets Being Neglected

Now there is market worth de-
veloping! Thirty million Americans
whose income is less than S9oO
wear! What wheat could they con-
sumo. what milk could they drink,
what cotton could they wear, IL
that income could be raised even
to $500 instead of 5000?
Such move does not necessarily
imply quick or arbitrary rises IN
hourly or weekly wage rates. Many
of the people who received the
pitifully small average income OF
5000 undoubtedly work on impress
sive hourly and weekly rates. But
thev don't work enough weeks, or
enough days to have received
decent income at the end OF the
year.
For instance, 4,412,090 employees
in 1897 received total wages of less
than So a week; it obviously means
that they worked only few weeks
of the year.
One hears talk of the great Chi
nese market" which bought just
short of $50,0O0,000 worth of our
goods in 1887.
What is it beside the possibilities
of increasing this 26-billion-d dollar
income of our own loweSt-paid peo-
pie to, say, so billions?
At time when foreign compli-
cations are demanding our atten-
ton so insistently, we must not
forget the really big market which
is at the same time our greatest
national problem.
