Too. the SBI is undoubtedly en-
gagged in great deal Of secret and
confidential work in connection with
the defense program-Work about
which nothing whatever can be made
public.
90 The Department Of Labor is
seeking 10 hasten the setting up of a
real apprenticeship program in the
state as authorized by the 1889 legls-
llature: but of necessity this is pro-
crossing only slowly. Chief en-
phasis is TO be placed on the metal
| trades and an intensive effort made
TO sell" the apprenticeship plan to
North Carolina employers.
QO) Utilities Commissioner STAN
ley Winborne says that his depart
ment has had no direct contact with
the defense program, but added that
reports from telephone, power and
other utilities under his jurisdic-
ton indicate that the defense plans
are likely to cause higher operating
costs which, in turn, might bring
requests for higher: utility rates.
Winborn said that plans are being
made by some Of the companies TO
place guards, at a moments notice,
on vital links in their system in order
to forstall any sabotage attempts
should real emergency develop.
CID Department Of Agriculture
marketing specialist, are redoublng
their efforts to aid national defense
by converting Tar Heel farmers TO
diversification of crops. Food crops
and livestock are sure to be vitality
needed in a hungry world, even if
the United States is never directly
involved in the war, these specialists
point out.
Commissioner w. Kerr Scott has
seized the opportunity to push for
enactment by Congress Of! the So
called Bailey Marketiipgi4bill, under
which North Carolina would get
something more that 100000 an
nually for marketing program.
(12) The State ABC board emu
lated the famed King of France whose
twenty thousand men marched up
the hill and then marched down
again The board announced that
prices of all sorts and kind of liquor
would 60 up as result of the new
Federal national defense taxes, then
very shortly was prevailed upon TO
reduce the price list in order to fore
stall criticism that the liquor bust

revenue producer and not in the in

There are probably other state
governmental units directly affected
by the defense program. In addition
to the state agencies, numerous
county units are more or less directly

hasn't any direct specific connection
of activity: but Acting Commission
er Lee Gregory and his division
heads are anXiOuSly watching the
possible effect of the emergency on
Tar Heel tax revenues. Governor
Hoey has warned that the strlctest
economy should be observed in order
to cushion any slump in revenue re-
sulting from the tobacco crisis which
is seen in the offing or from any
other unexpected upheaVal.
(2) So far the Highway Com
mission hasn't been called upon for
any direct action. but already Chair
man Frank Dunlap has verbally
transported troops from Washington
10 Atlanta over an extended and
expanded Blue Ridge Parkway; so
it seems that if the department does
nothing else it is going to leave no
stone unturned in an effort to get
more. better and bigger roads out
Of the Stirup.
~ in tic Department Of Con-
Servation and Development there is
much activity. The division Of Com
merce and Industry, under genial
Jim Anderson. is actively seeking
to convince war industries that North
Carolina is the ideal place for them
to locate. This is not wholly due to
a selfish desire to get what can be
had for the state, but with sincere
belief that there are real and genuine
advantages which will advance the
aims and ends Of the defense pro-
gram
In this department, too, there is
being made d strong effort to educate
in the necessity for Il substantial and
coordnated program OF forest pro-
lection and reforestation of waste
areas. Timber is concededly vital
raw material for any program OF
national defense and North Carolina
is capable of supplying its share only
if proper measures are taken. Sur
veys are also being made to ascer-

martyr, sacrificing herself, giving
up, asking Linda to come wherever
Ronrie was. And ROnnie, knowing
that Sarah cared, must think her
sweet, unseltish. kind. How could he
know she was a plaster saint?
Men We're so unseeinS. The surface
view, if it were beautiful enough,
enchanted them and they accepted
the girl as she seemed.
In that moment Linda knew a
fierce protection for Ronnie. She
wanted to put her arms around
him and hold him against all hurt
and all temptation. against Sarah,
against fame and wealth and ma
turity that could bring such heart
breaks.
You like being with me,
though" Sarah said slowly. "Why.
Ronnie?"
"Oh, my dearest, more than any,
one in the world! But it's mad
ness" His voice was strangled and
low.
Linda let Robert lead her back
to the inside of the boat. The deck
rocked and she did not know if it
was because the floor Of the Wate-
was unsteady or because Yer world
was going to pieces.

not knowing that the lit Of her
red lips, the wings Of her dark
eyebrows, gave her It singing, up

of course not" he answered
gently. ITS a moments madness.
We all have them. 1t will pass"
Long, long after she had UNI
dressed taken a warm bath, and
brushed her hair, Linda lay awake.
She realized that the engines We're
slowing down, and presently they
stopped. The yacht must have
reached the island where the picnic
breakfast was to be served. She
looked out of the portfolio and dis
tinguished the dark mass in the
distance The water was more
quiet now and the ship rode at an
Choir off the shore.
Finally she slipped into her bath
ing suit and went to the swimming
pool. It had not been cmptied and
she would float under the stars
and try to think.
Love was like mercury, she re-
minded herself, pulling off the
@reen slippers, fastening the green
cap over her curls. When you did
nc touch it, it stayed. That is
and she caught her breath-if it
were meant TO stay.
But when you reached with
eager hands to pick it up, II moved
away. A woman could only love
and wait.
She was ready to slip into the
pool when another figure appeared.
It was woman, slender and beau
tiful and graceful, and she dived
easily, unrestrainedly into the pool.
Nina Nevins. No wonder she had
kept that gorgeous form, Linda
thought.
She would 60 back to her cabin.
But Nina suddenly gave a low,
silvery laugh, so close that Linda
Jumped. She had not realized the
actress knew she was there.
Without attempting 10 explain
her gesture Linda dove off the side
of the ship, into the dark. shelter
ing waters.

down when she had. He had kissed
her good night and said that he
was turning in. Still, maybe some
one had called him, Or he had re-
membered a book from the library
that he wanted 70 read. Orwell,
anyway, he had|a good reason.
They went into the lounge, out
of the glass doors, to the deck.
No one was around. They began to
walk and Linda strained her eyes
for a tall figure lounging at the
rail, the familiar pipe he liked
making a. small cloud of smoke on
the quiet air.
In this moment she wanted him
more than she had since she had
left the southern town. She wanted
to lean against him, to ask him to
settle Nina and all worries.
A cloud that had hidden the
moon broke and the full white light
came through, a thousand stars
tagging its brilliance.
They made turn and started to
60 down the opposite deck. Linda
was looking at the moon. She felt
Roberts hand on her arm.

Linda down the way that they haC

moment, saw what Rob already

Two figures stood close together
near a iifeboat, so close that it was
not possible to tell where one end
ed and the other began. One was
man and one was a girl, and the
girls hair was golden.
The mans head was bright, too
and it was stopped as his lips me-

Community Dinner

g Months Of Work
Arkansas Avenue Unit
Hears Maj. Brown as
Guest Speaker

SLEEPY Hollow" last night dined
in honor OF its awakening" as
members of the Arkansas Avenue
Community Association commence
rated the establishment, six months
ago, of its citizens group, having as
guests Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown,
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education;
Harry N. Stull. president OF the
Federation of Citizens Associations;
David Babp. secretary Of the Fed
Grafton: A. J. Driscol, Mid-City
Association president, and others.
The association, serving an area
known as Sleepy Hollow because it
is centered around a natural bowl in
the section near Arkansas avenue,
Delafield place and Thirteenth
street NV, was for many years
a part of the Piney Branch civic
group. But last September, follow
ing series of severe transforms
that flooded Easements, streets and
sidewalks, and caused thousands of
dollars of damage, a group OF resi-
dents met at the home Of Hugh v.
Keiser to discover a means of rem
edying the condition.
An application was sent the Fed
GRAFTON requesting admission to
membership. Saturday night Mr..
Stull officially will install the first
two delegates, for the Federation
recently voted to receive the new
group.
Singularly rapid success has been
attained in the food problem. Late

sanitation for the District, an
nounced s450,000 would be MADE
available for the construction OF a
twin sewer to double the present
capacity for carrying of storm
waters in the area. At present,
sections of Arkansas avenue are
torn up by work on the Rock Creek
sewer setup. which promises to
prevent future floods In the area.
Maj. Brown, as principal guest
speaker at the dinner, congratu-
lated the District on its police force,
although he said it was under
manned.
Il have seen departments all over
the country and I think we have a
force as good as any you will find
anywhere" he said. "Unwelcome
strangers come here and cause great
trouble. Over period of several
months, 2,343 persons were charged
with criminal offenses. OF these
only 544 were ,Washingtonians."

Roosevelt 10 Confer
With Budget Chief
On Relief Needs
Also May Renew ToIks
On Governmental
Reorganization Plans

President Roosevelt today planned
a second conference with Budget
Director Harold D. Smith on esti-
mated relief needs for the next fis-
cal year. At the same time, it wa
said the Chief Executive also may
renew discussions concerning forth
coming governmental reorganiza-
ton plans.
Mr.. Roosevelt stayed away from
his executive Offices again today, lest
he repeat the mistake of overtaXing
himself before fully recovering from
cold. His temperature is down
to normal.
The President yesterday saw Mr..
Smith, Wrok Projects Commissioner
F. c. Harrington and Federal Works
Administrator John NJ Carmody.
After their meeting. it was an
nounced that Col. Harrington will
submit the administration relief es-
Inmates to House Appropriations
Subcommittee next week, with at
least S1,000,000,000 dikely to be
sought.
Although the relief figures have
not yet been put into final form,
it was said the President might seek
to speed up completion of remain
ing reorganization plans by bringing
that problem into todays confer
ences. Both inter- and intra- de-
partmental transfer still are being
contemplated for the remaining re-
organization program.
Only two other formal appoint
ments were announced for Mr..
Roosevelt this morning. one with
Herbert c. Pell. Minister to Portu-
gal, and the other with Federal Loan
Administrator Jesse H. Jones.

Store Milk Price Cut
To 13c Per Quart
In Nearby Virginia
Change to Be Effective
May |, With Scent
Deposit on Bottles

The retail price of milk sold
through stores in Arlington, Alexan-
dria and parts of Fairfax County
will be reduced from IA cents to 13
cents per quart on May l, under an
order approved today by the Virginia
Milk Commission. A
Lewis Robinson, the commissions s
representative in Northern Virginia,
said the commission also had de-
cided to require a deposit Of 3 cents
on bottles. The new regulation will
not go into effect until May i he
said, because the dairies suppl ing
the Northern Virginia market must
obtain bottles with lettering showing
a deposit is required.
The retail price of milk delivered
to homes will not be affected.
The store sale price reduction was
forecast last month when the Milk
Commission, during a hearing in
Alexandria, heard representatives Of
both distributors and consumers
agree that 1t would benefit the con-
sumer without harming the pro-
ducer.
The commission also considered a
proposal to reduce the price to II
cents per quart, but decided this
would make too large a slash in the
store operators margin Of profit.
The retailer then would receive only
1-cent profit per quart.
Approval also was voiced at last
months hearing for a bottle deposit
plan,
