Marriage Law
Up To Doctors

Raleigh, May 6.-Success or failure
of North Cardinals new marriage
law is squarely up to North Caro-
lina's medical profession, DR.: T. w.
M. Long, Halifax representative VINO
introduced the bill in the General AS
sembly, said in discussing its future:
DR.. Long was in Raleigh for brief
visit, unconnected with politics, ne
said.
"After all, it's the professions bill
and it's now squarely up to the pro-
fession to make it a success or Iall-
ure," he said. eff doctors can get
before the public the far-reachlng
and manifold benefits to health that
real enforcement of the bill Will
bring, then an enlightened public OPP
inion will force observance OF the
law"
DR.. Long stressed the fact that on
ly a public opinion favorable TO the
law can insure its effectivneSs. II, 1or
instance, couples who go out OF the
State to be married are not prose-
cuted for failure to have the pre-
scribed examination and blooo TEST
made after their return TO North
Carolina, then the law Will become
as futile as its predecessor OF some
decades ago.
He minimized early reports that
many are going into Virginia and
South Carolina to be married IN or
der to escape the new law. He at
tributed this tendency to confusion
created by putting the law into ct,
feet without a preliminary period
of preparation for it.
He cited two couples in his own
section who went over to Empofla TO
be married, but Immediately on their
return came to him for the required
examination and blood test. he pre-
dicted that with reasonable etiort on
the part of the medical profession,
there can and will be good ENFORCE
ment of the law, with resultant oene-
fits of untold value.

"Why not" he said. 'T lived in

ried. And until now well
what did we have? Here we have
people like ourselves, people who
have kids and ambitions, peonla
who are knit together by commu-

Keep it up and you'll get to

bantering, but it was tender and
understanding.
He said: "I'll wait for you"
She got up at once. mo, nv

Eleanor did not dismiss the SUBJ
ject from her mind as easily as she
banished it from their converse
ton. She thought about it long
into the night.
She would never do a job unless
she did it well. She had promised
herself that long ago. Being Phips
wife was as much her job as being
an author.
If Phil wanted her to be subur-
ban wife, she would be one. She'd
accept the invitation to join the
Charity league. She'd go to the
Thursday afternoons at the club.
She would, she decided, have an
other baby.
Back of all this was part Of the
other person = the author - who
had decided that the next cycle of
her work would be concerned with
the women who in mass were the
quiet uplifters of their times. The
best way to do it was to get at the
root of it. This she did not tell
herself. It was many years before
she realized that she had never
been the individual she thought
herself.

to let his financial interests take care
of themselves indefinitely-and on
down through few generations, un-
less his progency are mighty poor
business folk. He's an old man, too,
with no profession that he seemed
likely to be DESTROYS to devote him
self to. He could write big book
concerning his political experiences,
and it would be both intensely IN
teresting and historically valuable.
But he isn't literary.
He resigned because the admins
tration desired that job to promote
Harry Hopkins and to get the latter
out of the WPA, where he had be-
come a liability to the White House.
And Uncle Danl had no objection,
provided he got something else that
he thought he'd like equally we'll Cr
a little better
So He Got 1t.
So he gets the post of United States
diplomatic representative in Canada.
This suits him down to the ground.
It's a society position and he loves
society," 1t gives him a chance to min
gle with visiting royalty, and that's
directly down his alley.
Moreover, he's equipped for it. He
knows the palaver. He knows how to
wear the correct raiment. He'll be a
success in Canada.
If he'd been wished into some for
eign capital where he'd have had Ill
timatumS to deliver to local authority
he wouldn't have been at all well
adapted to conditions. Europe, these
times, would be out of his line alto
gether. The Orient also. Dodging
bombs, as in China, is none of his
specially Even Latin America would
be too strenuous for him.
In Canada, though, they'll take to
him Immediately.
1t generally is agreed that he's a
most likable old fellow. And there
never will be anything but the pleas
ATTEST relations between the United
States and Canada. Well, he can
maintain pleasant relations, and then
some.
Speaking of diplomatic relation

Latin America.
If Nazi-ism is entrenching itself
there the outlook is pretty bilious.
Furthermore the Bolivian dicta-
tors name is German Busch. It sure
ly sounds Hitleristic

Dictator Busch, as a matter of fact,
is of German origin. But lot of

Pronounced like this in Spanish:
"Fah-jhoan!" With the accent on
the last syllable. Yet I could talk
with that bird in Irish perfectly. He
was as much an Irishman as any cop
in New York.
So l suspect that this new Boliv-
ian dictator is just a plain Latin

had many times before uncompli-

She wondered about that for

She said: II may use gossip ana

you've unpacked your picnic lunch

At least that's the advice handed
out by c. N. Mease, chief refuge sup
/. ervisor of the Department of Con-
servation and Development; though
. it will probably take strong nerves
and clear conscience to follow; it.
The Mount Mitchell bears, Mr..
Mease says, have become really
: smart racketeers. They have learn
ed that by numbering in on a picnic
+, party, "woofing" bit, they can get
many tasty tidbit as the folks about

bought radio and small tables,
and luscious towels. Implanted fur
niture for their room and Jessica'S
nursery cost but song.
She was intoxicated with buying
and planning. She found car
penter to build in bookcases, and
painter to help her finish the fur
niture. She hired sewing women
to make curtains and new covers
for the old furniture.
And she asked Phil to stay in
town for a week while she turned
her house into a home.
When it was ready, when the
lamps under golden silk shades
shed soft radiance over her living
room, when she went to the kitchen
to look at the dinner cooking on a
shining new stove, to look at her
little maid in black and white, her
heart did power dive into her
shoes.
She had done everything but pre-
pare the explanation that she
would have to make to Phil. !:
She heard his whistle. when he
turned in the gate and ran up the
stairs so that she could greet him
from vantage point where she
could see his every expression.
Her heart beat uncertainty when
he opened the door.
He looked around. Then he said:
"Whew! Am I in the right house 90.
She said: Like it?"
His eyes were as big as saucers.
Gosh, Nell, knew you were good,
but didn't know you could work
miracles! Like it.? never dreamed
I'd live in place like this. Will
we ever get it paid for?"

cts swell! Say, let's have a look
at the upstairs"
Following him up the stairs.
Eleanor thought: It was pretty
easy, after all. We wouldn't have
had all those quarrels about my
money if I'd acted instead of talked
about it.
She was already making plans
for spending the money she expect
ed to make in the future. It never
occurred to her that the; moment
marked a tremendous change in
their relationship.

outside the refuge, Mease says.
Most of these are very wild and

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR


THEY DID a great deal of talk
ing about the house in Long Island
before they saw it. It would have
to be, they decided, house with a
small yard for the four-year-old
Jessica to play in. It would have
to be within subway distance of
New York. It would have to be
a small house because, even with
Pills -ois- they couldn't afford to
spend lnucn for new furniture to
fill it up. It would be a modest
house.
= Phil said, on one Of the Sundays
that they now devoted to looking
at house after house Gall of them
very much alike), that it wouldn't
do any, harm to let the real estate
agent drive them out to Hazelton
GardensS just beyond Great Neck.
TITS frightfully far and fright
fully expensive" Eleanor said dubi-
ously.
Darling, he acts as If we would
be denying him a pleasure If we
refuse"
Hazelton Gardens was a small
settlement as far removed in con-
cept from the houses they'd looked
at as Park avenue apartment had
been from the Greenwich Village
fiat.
The houses were set back Of
lawns and were in design either
Spanish villas, English stucco or
early American. To the impressed
Parishes this architectural con-
glomeration did not strike any
Earring notes. The houses seemed
luxurious to them. They spoke
softly in the silence that was loud
to them after the cacaphony Of the
city streets.
Of course neither of them enter
tanned any idea Of taking place
so grand, or so far from the city
that Phil would have to commute
by train. But Eleanor's eyes saw
the white uniforms Of the nurse
maids, the right kinds Of dogs,
shining windows and vistas of
space that would be green in sum-
mer and white in winter.
Fiji Sd1O. WudI are C11OSG TWO

The agent said: 1.-THE one on the
right is the Community house.
They have great times there.
There's Little Theater guild and
a Debating society. They have
weekly get-togethers and there's
tennis courts.
Eleanor was not the least bit
interested.
Sounds Nike living" Phil MUIR
INJURED.
The next building" the agent
was saying, "is the Kitchner school
for little children"
Eleanor began to listen.
How about the public school
We have little girl who is four
Phil said.
"She's going to private school
Eleanor said firmly. She ex-
changed challenging glance with
her husband behind the agents
back.
This is the house I had in minc
for you." the agent said, pointing
to a stucco and mahogany stained
wood house that rose back of 8
lawn. A border Of late asters
marked a curving flagstone walk
Eleanor and Phil did not lool
at each other as they followed the

All regular seats have been sold,

the huge crowd, estimated today as
possibly reaching a record mark,
are being worked out by the acting

that all may hear, though some
may not be able to see much, loud
speakers have been installed on both
sides of the underpass and to the

Federal Judge Geiger
Dies in Wisconsin

Former Federal District Judge
Ferdinand A. Geiger, II, who figured
IN the antitrust investigation of
1887 OF three major automobile com.
panles, is dead in Milwaukee. Wis.
Judge Geiger retired from the
bench last May because of i'll health
and was succeeded by former Sem
ator F. Ryan Duffy.
One of his last important decisions
was made when he dismissed the
Federal grand jury which, in Feb
ruary. 1887, was investigating the
activities OF major automobile COM
panies and the finance organizations
affiliated with them. He criticized
the Department of Justice for what
ne termed improperly in discussing
the possibility of a consent decree
with the defendant companies.
The judge was accused by Attor-
ney General Homer Cummings of
arbitrary and unjust conduct in the
case. The House Judiciary Com
mlttee held hearings, but the mat
ter was dropped.
Judge Geiger was admitted to the
Wisconsin bar in 1890 and practlced
IN Milwaukee until his appointment
to the bench in 1912 by President
Taft. He died at his home on Nom

N. F. F. (. Convention
To Weiqh Merit Bill

Extension of the merit system, as
provided in a bill scheduled to be
called up in the House this week, is
considered by organized Govern
ment workers as the most impor-
tant legislation to be considered at
the biennial convention of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes on September in San Fran
cisco, according to statement
issued yesterday by Luther C. Stew
ard, president of that federation.
The largest number of resolutions
received at national headquarters
here for presentation at the ma
tional convention bear directly on
the merit system, he said.
The passage of the resolution now
before the House, according to Mr..
Steward, would give the greatest
impetus to the merit system since
the original Pendleton Act was
placed on the statute books more
than SO years ago."
