But I'll show you all that another night" He was look ing, however, not at Jack, but at Clem, as he talked. 'Now, guess its about time to get started" 1" He glanced at his watch. Half past ten. Where would you like to go first, Chin Lees hop joint or May Days new apartment?" He smiled. That's in the neighbor- hood. She's just moved up to Park Avenue"
 Clem stared at Jack. 'I'd rather go to Chin Lees. Somehow it doesn't sound quite so bad"
 Jack grinned. The drinks and dinner had revived him. 'You will go summing, will you? Bet ter be prepared for anything, even at Lees. Come on, I'm ready"
 It was after eleven when Mar tins black car rolled up to the curb at the Bowery and Doyers street. "We'll walk the rest of the way" he said as he and Jack helped Clem out. Then, turning to Condon, who was acting as chauf- feur, You wait here. If we're not back by twelve, start hunting for us."

CHAPTER XIII

For the third time since he had begun to dress, Jack Burden lost his collar button.
 This was typical of his day. Co., ing to bed at four and getting up at nine didn't make sense, espe- cially if you'd played camel the night before and thought Scotch was water.
 Figuratively speaking, collar but tons had been rolling away from him ever since he'd struggled oil to church that morning with his father and mother.
 The Henry Burdens belonged to 8 conservative, old New York crowd which achieved simple lives in spite of great wealth. They still lived on Murray Hill and still at- tended the neighborhood Episcopal church where Jack was an usher. Mrs. Burden insisted that he go with her each Sunday. It was the one thing she asked of him. This morning she had knocked at his door at nine.
 "Be ready at half-past ten, Sonny. Your father is coming with us today"
 He dodged the scrutiny of her cool gray eyes by ducking into his bathroom.
 Glad to have you come along, boy" his father had said as they climbed into the car. What time did you get home last night?'
 Jack grinned. Morning, you mean. Four o'clock"
 Mrs. Burden said nothing.
 Have you ever been to the Dove, Mother?"

? STAMP NEWS

HERMAN aggression is giving " stamp collectors a jittery time these days, what with the ab- sorption of whole countries for merly alphabetically prolific such as Austria and Czechoslovakia. The Nazis are planning new issues for each territorial acquisition. One of these is shown above, is- sued in commemoration of the an- nexation of Sudetenland. It pie lures Sudeten couple. The sur tax is for Hitler's National Culture fund.
 The new U. S. federal "duck'' stamp for l939-40 is to be issued July 1. The design shows a male and a female green-winged teal standing on the edge of a marsh, with five teal descending to a landing in the background. The stamps will be available at first and second class post offices and sell for $1 each. The stamp does not take the place of a hunting license.
 Pressure on the U. S. Post Office Department continues for com- memorative stamps to mark the 50th anniversary this year of Montana, North and South Dakota and Washington as states. The Department is inclined to favor only centennial anniversaries but no decision on the requests has been made.
 The Department will not issue commemorative in honor of the British king and queens visit to the United States.
 Edited by Leo August, the 1889 edition of the United States Spe- cialized Catalog of First Day cov- CTS is now available. It is pub- lished by the Washington Press of Newark and includes com- memoratives through the Iowa centennial issue and the presi- dentiaI commemoratives

WINANT AND THE ILO
(ErOm the Washington POSO

Former Gov. John G. Winant, of
New Hampshire, who has just been
sworn in as director of the lnternati-
onal Labor Organization, has a diff
cult task ahead. The lilo, like other
international organizations that came
INTO being after the World War, is
suffering increasingly from the col
lapse of the collective system. And
in one country after another, the in
creasing preoccupation with extensive
military preparations has steadily un-
dermlned LABOR standards that had
oeen slowly and painfully built up
over period of many years.
Nonetheless, the LILO continues to
function. If anything, it has more
vital role to play at this time than
ever before in It's history. At no pre-
vious time has there been greater
need for cooperative action by gov
ernment, capital and labor Of the KIND
IN evidence at lLO meetings. AT no
previous time have the advanced in
dustrial nations Of the world, most
notably the United States, felt so
great necessity for trying to elevate
world standards Of labor. Only in that
way can our own standards be fully
safe guarded.
