That certainly is encouraging news
If, as Chairman Eccles says, funds
are so plentiful, the days of relief and
long lines of unemployed, should be
numbered in this country.
Perhaps the end is much closer than
we realize at that, and if you don't be-
lieve it, just listen to this report from
the City of Minneapolis Relief de-
partment.
There has been definite upward
trend in private employment, and this
! is being reflected on the relief rolls.
Relief Superintendent O. A. Pearson,
has figures showing that, although
WPA since year ago has cut its rolls
in Minneapolis by more than o,OOo
workers, and although the direct relief
load in that same period went up more
than LOO cases, the increase in conf
mitments was only $136,338.03.
/ That would indicate, Mr.. Pearson
points out, that lot of people cut off
WPA have gone into private industry
and taken jobs which are being opened
up.
All of which seems to bear out pre-
diction made today by certain Wash,

ternational situation.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Hilda put clean papers on the
cupboard shelves and washed the
dishes. She polished the scant ar
ray of kitchenware and scrubbed
the table top. The bathroom she
ignored. Rust remover would
help, and a bright braided rug and
pretty towels.
From her suitcase she took sew
eral etchings and hung them on
the drab walls. The table was
transformed by strip of oriental
looking material, two heavy can
dlesticks and n low flower bowl.
Their Home
In the back of the closet she
found a lamp and connected 1t
near the largest chair. Pulling a
small. and very wobbly. end table
near she placed cigaret box and
ash tray upon it.
BY lighting the lamp and
switching off the upper lights the
effect was quite satisfying. Dc
Gliding that the furniture could be
adyantageously rearra nged she
tugged and pulled until breathless.
Working away she was filled
with delicious warmth. She and
Keith were to live there. 1t was
to be their home. To her it SEEM
ed something of a major miracle.
Shed get his meals on the funny
little stove, they'd read under that
lamp and sleep in the drop-down
bed. She grew rosy thinking
about 1t. Nothing in California
could possibly be so thrilling.
Making a list of necessities,
new blankets. several gay cush-
ions. table mats and napkins, she
was startled by a rap on the door.
Opening 1t, she was confronted by
a young man.
Somehow he made her think of
Keith although the two were
nothing alike. This man was big
ger, broader and, though she
would not have admitted ii, more
friendly appearing. He had clear,
gray eyes.
All these things were vague i'm
pressions as she faltered, Good
evening"
The young man had jerked off
his hat. Now he took a step away
from the door.
