Round the TOWN.
According to latest reports the
summer colony of out-of-town men
will be larger than ever due to the
fact that many of the st. Paul
travelling men will stay in the East
on account of the Worlds Fair in
New York. Lawney finally came
out in that Studebaker that he's
been talking about. The Kappas
had small but lively party at the
Sterling Club during the Easter
vacation. Canoes are making
plans for a bigger and better Mid
nite-to-Dawn Dance. Every
body is talking about the lovely
singing voice possessed by Dorothy
Martin, talented daughter of the
E. N. Martins of st. Anthony ave-
nue.. The DeLisa is gaining in
popularity now that Jessie Scott is
back. Nearly all the town
turned out to greet Roy Wilkins
Palm Sunday. He expressed my
sentiments exactly when he said
that if Mississippi had been chiseled
off the map and thrown in the At

better place to live in. True, true.

EMPLOYERS URGED
TO ADVISE CLOSING

I Raleigh, May 29.-North Carolina
employers, who, because of seasonal
let-up in usual operations, are asked
to communicate with local EMPLOY
ment Service offices when they cut
down to part time work, in order that
the workers may be registered and
may file claims for partial benefits.
This cooperation is asked by Chair
man Charles G. Powell, of the I'm
employment Compensation Commits
sion, to allow part time workers to
draw partial unemployment benefits
to supplement their reduced incomes.
When a mill or plant decides to
90 on short time, the employer should
notify the nearest Employment Ser
vice office, so there will be no un-
necessary delay in processing the
claims and paying of partial benefits
due such workers.

Counties Get
Better Jails
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, May 29.-Though crime
does not appear to be on the increase
in North Carolina, there is apparent
in many counties of the State cam
paign for better, if not bigger, jails,
according to information at the We'll
fare Department here.
For instance, IN Jones and Hyde
counties new jails are about COM
plete, and with the final hammer
strokes and last laying of brick on
them there will be great rejoicing in
the welfare department.
1T can safely be said that the old
Jones and Hyde county jails were the
very worst in North Carolina said
r. Eugene Brown, of the department
We are very much pleased at the
action of these counties in erecting
new jails.
Three other counties are now con-
structlng new calaboOses = Lenior,
AnSOn and RichmOnd-While in Mad
lson the present jail has been con-
demned and a new one will have to
be built in the near future.
While admitting that construction
OF new jails has been delayed until
something absolutely forces erection
OIL q new one, welfare officials do
see some improvement in the jail
situation throughout North Carolina.
Disapproval by Federal authorities
has become one of the principal lev
ers by which new Jail construction
has been forced recently. The Unit
ed States government pays quite high
rates for the ''keep" of prisoners SEN
fenced by Federal court or held
awaiting trial therein, and when it
declines to allow its officials to lock
up prisoners in a county's jail, then
there Immediately follows demand
for new one.
Despite the general improvement
in the condition Of Tar Heel jails,
however, there does not appear to be
any concerted rush on the part of
guests to reserve quarters.

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

CHAPTER TORTY-FIVE
ELEANOR CHOSE sheer black
and a wide-b -brimmed hat, weighted
with cluster of white violets, for
her dinner with Dennis.
On the train going to New York,
she felt self conscious in her din
ner clothes and fixed her gaze on
the view beyond the window. She
seldom travelled on the train these
DAYS since she had a roadster and
a. town car. But she had not want
ed to- motor to town this night.
The train ride took but little more
than half an hour; it would have
taken her two hours to drive in.
She was afraid of the train of
thoughts she might have had on a
long, trip. She would have thought
of the things Jessica had said, of
the dinner she and Phil had planned
with Jessica, and that she had run
out on it, She also would have
thought Of Dennis going away and
what it would mean to her. That
was something she did not want to
think of. It would effect her spirit.
Perhaps he would read how much
he meant to her and she did not
want him to know.
This, of all evenings, she wanted
to be happy and gay. She wanted,
if this was to be one of his last
meetings with him, that he should
carry away a memory of a friend.
He was waiting for her at the
gate where her train came in. He
was hatless, in immaculate white
linen. When Eleanor saw him, it
was as if he were etched strongly
against dim background.
"This is very sweet of you," he
said at once, tucking her arm in
his.
Selfish" she said. "If you're go.
ing away very soon, you must have
a number of people to see."
Don't pretend with me, Eleanor.
You know that you are the reason
why I've overstayed my leave"
Later, when they had talked of.
many things, and finished a leisure
ly, dinner in the cool, dim corner
of an obscure restaurant, he folded
his arms on the table that sepa-
rated them and looked at her long,
silently.
She said: What are you think.
ing, Dennis 2"
I'm going to tell you every
