1t was a momentous day when she wrote
her uncle but unreal. His discreet answer
that most certainly she could have her old
job back - was momentOus too, a little less
unreal because of his disueetness about what
had prompted her to ask. For she could hear

Darlington was too much disgusted to appeal

David had said they must be prepared to
be beaten, but one look at him assured Sylvia
he hadn't done it at all in himself. The most
frightening thing about the gloom into which
he sank, lighted by occasional murky flashes
of bitterness was that it left her quite outside
him - all entry closed to her. She couldn't

said. sure it would chop into the odd
detachment he'd brought back.
Sweetness" he said with con-
scious care, 'Belden's got this gal
woman really - who's been sort of
second-string secretary for him in
campaigns. He'll lend her to me. She
knows the ropes - everything -
even the strings. Politics isn't like
straight law"
1t began slipping from there -
from that very point. There was an
interval in which they planned the
things that could be done - slum-
clearance, food control and the end
of river pollution, parks and recrea-
ton areas, State health service -
all that. But politics became swiftly
practical; and David was in poll
tics while Sylvia was not.
David didn't want her in it; a lot
of it was tough, some of it dirty. He
wanted her lovely, fastidious self
untouched by it. The surer the CAM
paign ran, the less touched she was.
And she was losing David - help
less to stop it. The stands she made
against it only revealed her helpless
ness. He listened to her indulgently,
as to child with whom one must
play fair even in the press of i'm
portant events, but it never meant a
problem to him, really.
She hated admitting that she was
hurt - not 50 much because she was
shut out of his days as because she
was more and more shut out of the
other times too. But when she sug-
gested they might now at last think
of young David in concrete terms,
he said:
Sweetness. l don't know if we
can afford him. Even with the elec-
ton sewed up. l may have to borrow
from the savings account. And after
ward there's still bound to be stuff

she should have gone on - told him
how it hurt = but she couldn't. The
sacred savings account that had
meant an actual oonsummation of
them together in the world, young
David as the celebration and the
guarantee of it for good - she
say anything. And he didn't notice

In that extraordinary, shiftless, reviving
week of Bermuda there was no warning of
what waited at home. At first they looked
at the mail as if the stacks of it were prac-
tical joke, but when they began less and less
gingerly opening the envelopes it turned out
not to be. The lance might not have been
tough enough in court, but it had been some
thing outside, the arm behind it too Carlands
and sympathy from people they'd never
heard of, requests to lecture and broadcast,
crackpot villifcation, and offers that ran from
writing an occasional column in the State
capitals crusading newspaper to endorsing an
especially subtle trap for termites.
But the letter that meant most was one
from the Senator himself, the good gray uncle
of the State in Washington - Senator Belden.
Would David come to lunch and go over few
matters with few people? David would, and
he did, and he came back very late with
sort of slow motion effect behind the eyes.

Famous Sayings

1t is inevitable these days that
more and more attention should be
directed toward the problem of
finding something for employable
youngsters to do While legislators
and social reformers concern them
selves with providing security for
the aged it is unreasonable that the
enigma faced by the nations young
people should be entirely forgotten.
A lot of people discovered with
something of a shock recently that
not only were 100000 of the ma
tons 21000,000 young people be-
tween the ages of 16 and "a out of
work, but that the roster of en-
ployableS was increasing by about
100000 annually. Youth leaders and
educators had pretty fair notion
something like this was true for a
long time, but they couldn't get
much of a hearing Old age PEN
SionS and such were consuming all
of the national energy, and the kids
who came out of college and high
schools were left to muddle along
by themselves.
AS the problems of pensions,
compensation for the jobblesS, relief
and unemployment begin to show
up in their true perspectives, people
everywhere are getting interested.
They are becoming aware of the
fact that all of these things are
irrevocably linked-that none can
be considered independently of the
Others.
One of the principal efforts being
made today in behalf of youth is to
improve present methods of voca-
tional guidance. The American
Vocational Association, meeting re-
Gently, in Grand Rapids, Mich,
recognized its responsibility and is
energetically fostering corporation
among labor, industry, government
and education to find means OF
hurdling present-day economic OBJ
stacles. The association realizes that
within its own field there is room
for sound reforms, aimed at finding
a definite place in society for every
young person who passes through
the educational system.

MOTHERS ORGANIZE
El Monte Herald)

vi lOiAeS AANASsANt
National organization Of the mothers
of America started in Los Angeles two
months ago under the name of National
Legion of Mothers of America has for
its avowed purpose the keeping of the
United States from sending its young
men to fight on foreign battlefields.
The movement is spreading rapidly to
many states of the Union. The organiza-
ton demands that American boys shall
not fight, except in defense of their own
country; that the national defense be
built up so that America may be safe
from attack from without; and that sub
versive groups that are trying to destroy
America from within be hunted down and
halted in their deadly work
Noteworthy in this latter respect is
the work of the Dies committee, and it is
to be hoped that congress continues this
committee in existence with full finan-
cial and moral cooperation until every
subversive group or person has been run
to earth.
The Importance of the purposes and
work of the National Legion of Mothers
of America is indicated by Senator Rob-
ert NJ. LaFollettes reported assertion in
Pasadena: American public sentiment
will be the deciding factor in keeping the
United States out Of the European war.
1--WE are in position to make this hemi-
sphere impregnable to attack, and l be-
lieve that this will be done
It is to be hoped that this country will
be thus fortified, but it is to be hoped
that, in accomplishing this end, the fed
eral government will pare down needless
expenditures to obtain the money to do
so, instead Of imposing additional taxes
upon a nation.

UNREASONABLE
BUILDING CODES
NEVADA State Journal)

The justice department, along with
real estate dealers who recently convened
in New York, see some of the building
codes in many cities as little less than
rackets to force the sale of high priced
building materials, expensive types of
construction to the virtual exclusion of
homes for the family of moderate means
Most wage earners in the middle and
lower brackets, the real estate men
charged, have given up the attempt TO
build or try home owning in this day of
high building costs and of unduly strict
prohibitions in the building codes.
There are necessary provisions for fire
and health protection, for safety in con-
Struction in various ways that are highly
proper in any set of building regulations
and are not objected to by any reasonable
home owner or public official. But there
has been continued complaint. especially
IN the large cities, that provisions in
many politically inspired codes deliver
the prospective home owners over to the
mercies of labor racketeerS, dealers in
high-priced materials and other inter-
ests. The plans of the federal housing
commission and of many private invest
ment companies to finance medium prlc-
ed home for around $1,000 to $4,000 are
said to be virtually at standstill in many
cities because of the fact that home
cannot be built under existing conditions
for any such sum.
There are, says Corwin E. Edwards. of
the department of justice, more than 1900
separate building codes in the United
States, many of them years old, outmod-
ed. unsuited to the needs Of the times,
others Of more recent origin which have
placed costly and unreasonable restric-
tions on walls, roofs, electrical, plumbing
and other work The real estate men
promise a fight against selfish regula-
tions that are holding up the proper
development of an important American
industry.

cisely what 1 meant, Second, he
should have given me Immediately,
and with little more graciouSness,
all the information that l had to
draw out of him in series OF three
questions.
In other words, when l asked,
Where does the three-fifteen train

have replied: THE threefifteen
train for Boston leaves on track l8,
this level, over there to your right, -

Why didn't he answer like that?
Because he was not trained to do
it that way. And why wasn't he
trained? I wonder. Some Of the best
transportation executives in Amer
ica are operating this railroad; and
Why they permit such conditions to
exist is difficult to understand.
If the general manager of the
railway wants to find out how
questions should be answered, all
le has to do is to stroll over TO

and ask the man behind the in
