By John B. WATKINS.

The celebration this week at Fay
otteville Of the Scotch settlement
there Two hundred years ago is far
more than matter Of local impor-
lance to our State, in fact to the
entire United States, as it was from
such settlements we got the Presby-
terrain church.
Recently l was asked to speak on
the early history of this church at
a large district meeting at Wash
Evening star., 1939-04-23

Where will find you?" she queried, smiling.
All of which, Bud realized, put him on
one-way street travelling due south. He
thought frantically Look he said. Il don't
want to embarrass Kilgore. After all, it wasn't
his fault he didn't know me. and he'd natur
ally get angry under the circumstances.
But what are you going to do about this"
demanded Mrs Locke. setting her chin.
I'll talk to him privately tomorrow morn
ing" Bud said. Then I'll phone you when
to bring the goods in, Miss Day. Or" = a
further precautionary thought - III take
'em along in my car if you like, and save you
carrying em down again"
If he admitted his cockeyed prank to this
man kilgore. and showed how innocent
Bethany was of any part in it. Kilgore would
surely regret having accused her unlusty. and
could hardly refuse then to take back the
goods He might vent his resentment on Bud,
of course who naturally hated to eat crow,
but it was the only decent thing to do now.
Bethanys blue eyes warmed Bud with their
gratitude. That's marvellous of you. I'll
have everything bundled up in minute. She
ran down the hall to her room.
''As long as you're investigating how Gus
toners are treated at Blum & Whitakers"
Mrs Locke said, llltell you my experience.
Bud managed to register polite interest while
the woman recounted her troubles returning
two pairs of striped slacks. To satisfy her he
finally pulled out an old envelope and made
careful note of her complaint.
Then Bethany returned, arms filled with
parcels. She helped carry them down to his
car, and stood on the curb in the moonlight,
while Bud slowed them into the rumble.
Il do so appreciate your kindness, Mr..
McQuarrie," she exclaimed in eager tones.
"Do you happen to like root beer?" he
blurted
Evening star., 1939-04-23

Mr. McQuarre l hope haven't kept you
too long"
Not at ALL" Bud remembered Austin Pell
with jolt. But I'll have to be getting back
now Goodby, Miss Day
'Goodby. MIR McQuarrie.' He carried
away mental image of very blue eyes with
troubled look in them, as he hurried back to
the main floor elevators.
Austin Pell was nowhere in sight. Reluc-
tantly Bud dug up nickel looked at it twice
before entering a telephone booth.
Pells thin twang answered almost at once;
it took on an accusing note. "McQuarrie, eh?
Haven't grown up yet, have you?'
How d'ya mean?'
"Chucked business appointment the in
stant a pretty face came along. You left just
as l came up
why didn't you sing out? had waited -"
Il didn't want to spoil anything 1t was
obviously more important to you than job.
Bud absorbed some of the chill in the
bad he exclaimed. I'll be over in five min
utes and explain ~
mo, McQuarrie. A research man in an ad
vertising agency has to have maturity -
perspective -"
Il did good job at Tourney & Woods"
Bud broke in earnestly. Till the recession
folded them up. All l need is chance to
show your outfit -"
Sorry, McQuarrie wouldn't want to
sponsor you. In fact, I've just okayed another
man for the Job. He starts work in the
morning."
We'll" said Bud Il guess that's that"
He was quite low for the balance of the
afternoon, which was approximately Buds
maximum period of depression. After lunch
counter supper, as he rolled out of the loop
district in his third-hand maroon roadster,
Bud spirits were on the rebound. Tomorrow
he'd look into couple of sales jobs advertised
for man with car He was thankful he had
managed to hang onto the little roadster,
though he was uncertain about the next filling
of gasoline. But the tank was three-quarters
full, it was a swell evening. and pair of
very blue eyes with a troubled look kept
shining into his meditations.
She needed that money pretty badly, for
some reason. He wondered how she had made
out Why noto With impulse at the helm,
Bud shortly pulled up before four-story
brick apartment building. After consulting
the name cards in the entryway, he climbed
to the third floor.
A woman of some forty summers, and VIM
tiers, answered his ring. She had bleached hair,
straight mouth and dreadnaught chin.
rs Miss Day ino" Bud asked.
Evening star., 1939-04-23


"No," said the woman. Miss Day is out"
Buds spirits dropped. Sorry. You might
tell her Mr.. McQuarrie was here
''WFhoo You aren't the man who took her to
the adjustment desk at Blum & Whitakers?
Same one, said Bud, surprised.
Come in. Bethany just went down to mail
letter She'll be back any minute
In the small living room the lady of the
dreadnaught chin continued aggressively,
whats the matter at Blum & Whitaker'so
They don't seem to know you're working for
them She looked hard at him.
''Oh - uh j I'm sort of special worker,
Bud improvised. "Uh - customer relations
investigator. I'm in and out of the store. A lot
of EN- don't know who am He wondered
what had happened.
"Oh? Well can tell you your customer
relations are sin and a shame. Bethany had
dreadful time. And it was about you
About me?" stammered Bud.
Yes" She sucked in her breath dramatic
ally. Your unspeakable adjustment manager
said there was nobody named McQuarrie
working there The clerk you took Bethany to
had just told him about you. He actually
accused poor Bethany of bringing in a stooge
to masquerade as store executive and bluff
his assistant into refunding money on clothes
she had worn"
"Lordy," murmured the appalled, Bud.
Then she didn't get her money back2''
I'll say she didn't. Kilgore practically
ordered her out of the store
"Lordy," was all Bud could say.
Its beastly," his hostess snapped. 'The
poor child was promised job week ago. so
she took the last of her money to buy few
new clothes to look nice Then it fell through.
And now she's trying to get her money back
for the clothes. After all. have to have my
room rent. Sh - Suddenly Here she
comes.
Bethany was hatless and her shining black
hair curled about her shoulders. She stopped
in the doorway as she recognized Bud Before
he could speak. her landlady burst forth.
Mr. McQuarrie came out to investigate
how you were treated at the store. He's
secret investigator for them. Bethany; that's
why Kigore didn't know him. Everythingll
be fixed up now. Isn't that grand, Bethany
She looked hard at Bud as if daring him to
refuse to fix things up.
Bethany came over to Bud. The troubled
look was gone from her blue eyes, and glow
was in its place. Il couldn't believe you'd lie
to me, she told him.
"You can meet Mr. McQuarrie at the store
when it opens tomorrow. can't you. Bethany"
urged the beaming landlady.

of one of their upper offices, awake

The supposition was tnat with the

shrink numerically and that these

No such shrinkage followed. The

Hoover Construction Period.
Then ensued the period of Presi-
dent Hoover's reconstruction of gov
ernmental Washington. 1t cost a lot
more than the price of the Louisiana
Purchase and the Alaska Purchase
combined, but it wiped out the "tem-
pos"-eXcept two or three, which had
burned down meanwhile.
However, the government hadn't
the "tempos" alone to worry about.

and commerce) occupied privately

Well, the U. S. went ahead and did
all this. But it didn't vacate any of
its rental buildings. Officialdom

Let me illustrate.
There's an historic edifice on
Pennsylvania avenue once known as
the War, State and Navy building.
Originally it housed those three de-
partments.
The Navy Department was 'can-

war. 1t got new Navy building. The

What once was the War, State and
Navy building now is the State De-
partment building exclusively.
Bulge, Bulge, Bulge.
In short, the government began to
bulge with the beginning of the 1914
war. 1t bulged further when the
United States went into it, It was ex-
pected to shrink later It didn't. 1t
bulged further with the Hoover de-

Third Term Withdrawal
By President Expected

reelection in 1940".
Following this arresting channe,
of speculation concerning the Presi-
dents plans and purposes one hears
that administration people holding
the opinion believe that, with pub
lie doubts about much Of the Pres
ident's domestic program swept away
by the war emergency, and with
business recovery coming from the
impetus of war demand, the Pres
ident now by such a move has an op-
portunity to close his second term at
his highest place in public esteem and
assure his future position in history.
Third term enthusiasts are in the
big majority among the left wing
elements, but a minority Of new deal
liberals looks on the third term pro-
ject with doubts.
Deeply Partial.
The biggest factor in these doubts
is fear that President Roosevelt's
deep convictions of the rightness of
one side in the European war might
ultimately involve the United States
in that war
Many of the new dealers are
strongly isolationist, and believe that
the chief duty of the United States
is to stay out of the European war.
Among them, there is growing fear
that the step to W.T. from the "many
methods short Of war" advocated by
the President against the aggressor
nations might prove to be a short
cut to war.
While such fears might come to
the surface in a hard fight in the
special session, they would be brush
ed aside SO far as President Roose-
welt is concerned by an announce
ment that he will not run again in
1910.
The growing impression in some
government quarters that President
Roosevelt may be getting ready to
renounce third term try is based
partly on the succession Of steps he
himself has launched to adjourn po-
icies for the emergency.
First, in his neutrality speech he
appealed to the nation to put aside
all partisan and political considera-
tions Next, he consulted congress
sional leaders of both parties about
a special session. Then he declined
to address a political gathering of
Democratic women. Then he made
it clear that he is striving to heal
the breach between the left and right
wings of the Democratic party.
Statesman Like.
While such moves may place the
President in a false position so long
as he continues to be potential third
term candidate, they would instantly
appear statesman-liEe if the factor
of his candidacy were removed.
The men in the administration gen
orally credited as the most ardent
supporters of the third term are the

Berlin citizens yesterday and to-
day observed members of the air
force from the east arriving in the

again emphasized complete dissolu-
ton of Polish forces by an en-
circlement movement.
The situation in Warsaw, Polish
capital, was left unanswered. The
communique merely said that no
Polish negotiator had appeared by
last midnight, although Warsaw had
asked for his reception.

Reluctance among government Of
