After the court has handed down

take a summer vacation to convene
again for the fall term the last week
in August, with first oral arguments
set for Tuesday, August 20.
Ordinarily there is little predict
ing done about cases before the Su-
preme Court, but the sales tax ac-
ton, in which Paul Leonard, indie
fatigable and undying foe OF the
levy ever since its enactment, is
seeking TO recover $31S he paid
under protest after operating a va
riety store in Winston-Salem, is an
excep,.on. On all sides the appa-
rently confident prediction is made
that Leonard will lose, either through
a flat court decision that the tax is
constitutional or through an evasion
of the real issue by the justices on
the grounds that the plaintiff, Leon
and has no right to bring the case
at all because he has not shown
wherein he was damaged.

come into North Carolina, rent a

and display goods therein and either
sell directly or take orders for mer-
chandise so displayed.
The statute in question was en-
acted by the 1887 General Assem-
bly, with a view to protecting local
merchants against competition of the
kind mentioned, and also with an
eye to making up for the sales tax
which display" merchants practi-
caIly never paid into the Department
of Revenue.

cases is that of James Goodwin, youth
who made screaming headlines

LAPSE OF INSURANCE
POLICIES ARE COSTLY

Washington, June 13.-(AP)-Dr.
Ronald H. Davenport, associate pro-
lessor at Harvard university, told the
federal monopoly committee today
that holders of industrial or '''poor
mans" insurance had lost at least ST.
419,422,8O4 Of savings by lapse or
surrender Of their policies.
This loss was suffered during the
2O-year period ending with 1887, he
testified.
DR.. Davenport described industrial
life insurance as policies sold to
workers, often by house-to-house
statesmen, and usually paid for on a
weekly basis. Surrender provisions OF
such insurance were much less ia
Morable to the policyholders than
those of other types, he said.

WHEN THE telephone rang,
Miss Sarah and Miss Anne were
drinking cups Of hot tea and eat
ing thin sandwiches in the parson-
age living room. Mrs. Melton was
listening to the stories which the
sisters repeated every year. Sarah
Jane closed the connecting door be-
tween the alcove and the living
room.
She heard her fathers voice and
q little sigh of relief escaped.
I'm so glad it's you! I thought
It was bad news"
He laughed, but his voice was
serious. I'm afraid it is, honey"
Jack? It he hurt 2"
Never looked better. Just saw
him pass. How keen are you about

Then she reminded herself that
not even her father and mother
knew that she and Jack were en-
gagged. Only Judy shared the Sc
cret. Oh, yes, and Jacks mother.

wouldn't know how much it mat

1.-THE Miller twins" she repeated.
They had stalked her routine for a
year. She liked them, but why
couldn't they stay safely in bed
and get over being sick? 6, ::
They're getting well, but they're
mighty nervous. Their mothers
given out, tainted this afternoon,
and the doctors ordered her to bed.
She refuses to go unless you stay
with the children, and they're back
ing her up. How about it,"
How-about-it!
Her fathers voice talked stead
lily on. Sarah Anne, it isn't fair.
It's my fault for getting my family
into a profession where their lives
aren't their own. If you want me
to, I'll tell them you can't make
it"
5"No," she said slowly. mo, of
course not. I'll go-right away"
She was thinking Of many
things. OF the fact that Mr.. Miller
had written the check which had
cleared the building debt; Of the
squirrel jacket which had been a
birthday gift from Mrs. Miller
when she was in high school. Your
life became .curiously entwined
with those Of others and you
couldn't let them down. Jack would
understand. She must call him
But it wasn't Jack she called. It
was Judy. She told the story briefly.
"You poor child! Certainly you
aren't staying there this evening""
Judy said. 'T'll go!"
'No, you can't! I'm chosen" Her
laughter wouldn't Tilt. But you can
do something else for me. I was to
be with Jack at the guest table.
The place is there and it's too late
to upset all the plans. His mothers
at that table, too. Judy, will you
sit where I was going to-"
Inere was Drler silence, then
Judy's low voice came back, mo,
Sarah Anne. I'd be such a poor SUBJ
stitute. They can take away the
place."
mo, please, Judy. I want it.!
Jack likes you, and he would love
having you there. I'll tell him.
Thanks and goodby."
But she couldn't reach Jack. She
left a message with his mother,
picked up short white jacket that
went with her simple blue linen
dress, and went to the hospital. She
paused at Bob Kennedy's door a
minute. He grinned.
