A Day Of Strife
Better q day Of strife than a
century Of sleep.-A. J. Ryan.
Glacier County chief., 1939-08-11

Hamilton hadn't returned to Bev-
erly and caused Cathedral Gardens
to be built, Kirk Reynolds and his
professional vice would not have
come to contaminate the COM
munity. Z
Kirk Reynolds was twenty-eight
years Of age, nine years older than
Kay Forrest. She had heard of him,
had known him, in the few years of
her childhood before he had gone
of with the carnival. She remem-
bered him as handsome young
man who had bought candy and ice
cream and popcorn for her at the
carnival so that she almost died of
indigestion but she had
emerged from the attack with re-
gard for Kirk which she had never
lost She had introduced herself to
him on the occasion Of chance
meeting after his return, and he had
professed to remember her.
Kirk was attentive and pleasant.
Two or three times during the eve
ming, when young men from Chicora
with whom she had attended high
school asked her to dance-Kirk
vanished. She suspected that he had
gone upstairs to see how the dice
game was running and there was a
guilty thrill in the idea. Kay was
young, keen for life: she translated
this night and this dance into terms
Of Newport and Monte Carlo and
Palm Beach and Havana. The
chicken sandwich on toast which
Kirk brought her might have been a
gala repast; the tepid orangeade.
champagne.
Then Bud Carter and His Jazz
Hounds blasted into their final num-
Der. Enthusiastic couples gyrated
madly, but Kirk danced slowly, eau
tiously-as always. He continued to
enjoy Kay's naive delight, to re-
spond to the brightness Of her eyes.
She heard the final, blaring meas
ures Of the music, and then Kinks
quiet voice. "Tired?"
mo"
How about little rider"
''I.d love it,
Good" Kirk was never louua-
cious.
She crossed the veranda with him.
Across the street, in the middle Of
Monument Square, she saw the red
brick bulk of the Beauregard County
Courthouse. She was vaguely con-
scious Of townsfolk who stared and
commented. And then she was in
the little coupe beside Kirk and he
had swung away from the curb and
was circling the Square.
He drove west on Palmetto Ave
nue. to the place where Chicora Ave
nue. angled Oh to the right. He
drove down this tree-linsd street,
somnolent In midnight moonlight;
drove past Kay's home; crossed
FerriA Street Ehere chicora Ayenus
became the Chicora Turnpike. Then

CHAPTER III

1t was difficult for Kay Forrest
to realize that she had been wit
ness to a murder, to remember that
back yonder at the edge Of the road
was an empty car and the body of
a man. It was even more difficult
to make herself believe that the
stony-faced person at her side had
just taken a human life.
Her nerves were shattered, her
eyes clouded with terror Of ap-
prehension. Her thoughts darted of
at tangents, but returned always to
that sprawling figure by the side of
the road back yonder. She found
herself thinking, Harvey is dead

"But when they find out :"
"They won't. Nobody saw. Ex-
cept you. And you won't tell.'
I'm afraid :"
"Of course you are. I'm afraid,
too"
Queer how his calmness was
steadying her jagged nerves. She
heard him speaking again. "There

To Act as W. P. A.
Co-ordinutor

Capt. John L. Person of the En-
gineer Corps of the Army today took
office as one of the assistant en-
gineer commissioners of the Dis
trict and was assigned by the Board
Of Commissioners to act as co-ordi-
nator for the District Works Prof.
ects Administration.
He will succeed Capt. Don G
Shingler, who, it was announced
has been given a special assignment
at the Army War College here, ef-
fective next month.
Capt. Person was directed to see
w. p. A. officials without delay and
in cooperation with them and af-
fected District agencies to submit
to the Commissioners q compre-
hensive. w. P. A. program for the
District, to be placed into effect this
fiscal year.
The suggestion for the establish
ment Of the position of o-ordinator
for District w. P. A. projects was
made few days ago by Maj. George
Parker, who Is the acting District
w. P. A. administrator, as the sue
cessor to Commissioner George e
Allen. The plan is that through
the services of such an official the
w. P. A. program can be improved
by thus establishing closer tieup
with District and Federal agencies
The co-ordinator, 1t was suggested
would represent the District in
w. P. A. matters so that w. p. A.
would be dealing with one man
rather than number of sponsors of
various projects. He could decide
which projects were most beneficial
and which could be sacrificed, and
possibly divert funds from other
projects sponsored locally to the
school lunch program, for example.

The Barlow menage has the
mother-in-law story to end all
mother -in-law stories.
Both mothers -in-law live with Mr..
and Mrs. John Barlow in Arlington,
Va.-and like it. But that isn't all.
Mr.. Barlow adores his mother-in-
law and she idolizes him. His wife
thinks her mother-in-la has the
happiest disposition in the world.
The two spry little ladies dress
alike. look alike, share a room to-
gether and even laugh at each
others jokes. They occasionally
disagree but they never argue. They
actually make patchwork quilts to-
gether without coming to blows over
the pattern.
Mrs. Bartow's mother, Mrs. Karo-
line Burow. has lived with the Bar
tows for q years. Mr.. Bartow's
mother. Mrs. Clara Barlow, has
made lengthy visits in the Barlow
home but she came to live with them
six years ago when the Bartows
moved here from South Dakota.
Like to Reminisce..
Now, zone would be lonely without
the other" the younger Mrs. Barlow
said. They like to reminisce about
old times together. They dust the
furniture constantly until Mrs. Bar
tow said she's afraid they'll wear of
the varnish. They insist on washing
the dishes. One washes and the
other dries while they talk things
over.

Barlow disagrees, Mrs. Bartow's

Study 10 Base Test
For Park Job Here
Begun by Experts
Municipal Executives
To 10y Groundwork
: For Extensive Survey

The two municipal park execu-
tives who are to make q survey Of
the National Capital parks, on
which a special civil service exami-
nation for the park superintendency
will be based, started work today.
The two men, Capt. Charles G.
Sauers, general superintendent Of
the Cook County Forest Preserve
District Of Illinois, and H. G. Wag-
ner, director secretary of the Akron
(Ohio) Metropolitan Park District,
arrived from their respective cities
this morning and spent the day in
conference with parks and Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
omcials as well as representatives
Of the Interior Department.
To Observe Local System.
They are to spend a week here
at the present time to observe the
local park system at its seasonal
peak and to lay the groundwork
for their survey. They are to re-
turn to Washington in September
to stay until the survey is COM
pleted.
The examination, which is to be
based on the survey, is to determine
who shall I'LL the post of superin-
tendent Of National Capital Parks,
vacated August / by C. Marshall
Flnnan. when he was transferred
TO the superintendency of Zion and
Bryce Canyon National Parks in
Southern Utah.
The civil service test is to be
placed on a competitive basis and
is to be open to the two men making
the survey as well as to Frank T.
Gartside. who is acting superintend-
ent of National Capital Parks until
superintendent is appointed.
Park Service ofiicials estimated
today that about four months would
be required to complete the survey.
Problem Here Different.
The problems of the National
Capital parks system differ greatly
from those of other park systems
throughout the country, both ma
tional and municipal. Because of
the importance Of the Nations Cap
ital as a focal point for travel from
all over the country, park use is
exceptionally heavy. In addition,
the approximately 600 units of the
National Capital parks system are
operated In close relation to nu-
merous other agencies of the local
and Federal Government in the Dis
trict. as well as with civic organi-
cations. Because of these peculiar
conditions, Secretary Ickes felt the
entire field should be surveyed i'm
partially by members of an outside
disinterested organization before a
successor is appointed" the Park
Service ofncial declared.
Municipal park executives, who
are the logical men to take the
examination, are paid at q con-
siderably higher rate than the su-
perintendent Of National Capital
parks. Park Service officials, there
fore, anticipate that any outside
municipal executives applying for
the job probably will have to be
men OF some private means and
with . desire to serve the country
IN the Identification of Washington.

he conferred late yesterday with off,

the Plumbers Guild, an organiza-
ton OF plumbing contractors-and
that joint conference within the

Mr.. Shields said he plans to dis
cuss the sand and gravel dispute
today with a committee of building
contractors whose work has been
brought virtually to a standstill by
the shortage of supplies ordinarily
furnished by the Smoot company.
The union spokesman also stated
that when work is resumed the pro-
duction output of the concern will
be 40 per cent Of capacity within
