Now starting on his third enand -
the ham-On-rye and beer for Mr..
Lanigan - Oliver frightened. This
errand would take him to the plant
commissary and to the counter where
Miss Berenice Cottle worked. Like the
Misses Turner and Sheridan, Miss
Cottle always drew rave notices from
Oliver. but secretly. Their relations in
public were on basis of appalling,
mutual disparagement. Thus
"Pssst - hey, Piefacer'

Miss CorTLE languidly gave the sand

This squelcher drew laughter from

Il got to show the general around"
What general?"
That's Front Office secret"
General Delivery" said one of the
mechanics you pick him up at any
post Office"
Very goodr' said Miss Cottle.
The mechanics grinned at Miss Cottle
and paid their checks and departed.
Oliver groaned. "She gives him a
hand for that corny gag"
Miss Cottle tapped her blood-red
fngernails on the counter. Thirty
cents, boy. Cashr'
There's a rumor over at the Front
Office about you. That's the truth

Sustained by the thought of bossing

three errands.
He found Mr.. Downey, Air-Nav's
vice-president, conferring with Mr..

Oliver then set off on trot to find
MIR. Henderson. the publicity director.

that Mr.. Henderson and two reporters
he had in tow. fatigued after an in

Pacific Cafe across from the plant.
Oliver breathless, showed the public

was brooding over his beer.

The oldest boy was put through
business college by his mother

through three years al the Univer-
sity Of Washington. The girl has
already put herself through one
year at the university and plans
TO work next summer for another
year.
The girl is not beautiful but she
IS cool looking. She makes her own
clothes, which are all very smart,
and she does her own hair. She is
a good girl and doesn't smoke,

The boy. on the other hand. is
quite the opposite lie is a snoo
and cannot make friends. He went
to business college and at this
time has good job. He looks
down on all who do not have white
collar Jobs.
His mother was also left a
widow with three children. She
married again and took only the
youngest son with her. leaving her
other two children TO be brought
up by relatives. The boys parents
have been on relief and he has
been in the c. c. c. His mother
is very narrow minded and is
snob Il know her WELD. She treats
her husband, who is working now,
badly.
The boys mother believes that
because the girls mother works
and they have no money they are
not on relief, however the girl is
not good enough for her son. AL
though he is a grown man he must
do what his mother tells him.
