she was able through one story 10
commute the death sentence of an
old man to a life sentence. !
One story written by Miss Arne
concerning oil business in Oklahoma
City led to the indictment and
trial Of former Governor of the
State. !,
She bought a boy baby for $50
on another assignment to prove the
lack of protection afforded by Ok
lahoma to its dependent children.
Another story resulted in the es-
tablishment of an annuity fund for
Miss Alice Robertson, former Rep
resentative from the State, during
the last years of her life.
Stories Aided Relief Fund. "
News stories concerning mine
disaster killing 81 men were reade
over the radio, the first news copy
sent over the cir in that State. The
stories were credited with placing
an additional $4,000 in the relief
funds. 70
Between times there were murder
trials, both in Oklahoma and nearby
States, which she covered for the
Times, the Oklahoman and, on sevsc
eral occasions, for the Associated
Press. 1ec
In Detroit and Cleveland she did
the typical industrial city crime
news, features on art, drama. major
conventions, welfare projects and
civic work. In Cleveland she had a
daily editorial page feature on oddt@5
ties in the city's life. 5ss
Since joining the Associated Press
staff her work has included fea-
lures on women in the news andC
stories on administration measures.
She's as much at home fiocking with
other reporters to the White House
as when once a year she turns out
her Christmas fairy story for chill,
dren and, as she confesses, gets as
big kick out of it as the children
themselves.

Glancing at them, Claire saw that
heavy. thick volume was a paper
backed edition of "Mein Kampf," by
Adolf Hitler.
/ Above the. fireplace was large
framed lithograph of Hitler, with
two swastika flags draped over the
top OF 1t. The room was warm,
and Claire had just removed her
jacket and hat when she heard a
key in the door. She was frightened
but didn't know what to do. and
moment later girl walked In.
The girl looked at Claire with
out surprise and smiled as she in
troduced herself. ~;
I'm Lii Weber" she said, hold
ing out her hand. Claire took it
and introduced herself to the girl,
who was about her own age. Lili
was simply dressed, with a long,
black coat over what were OBJ
vlously working clothes. She re-
moved a colored scarf from her
head and revealed shiny blond hair,
which had been braided and wound
neatly about her head.
Uses Many Substitutes.
Mother said you were here" the
girl said and, tossing her coat on
chair, went into the kitchen.
Hungry" she called.
Claire realized she hadn't eaten
since morning, when she had but
a light breakfast.
Yes" she answered. I'm
starved"
III make cup of chocolate for
you before start dinner, then"
Despite Claire's protests, Lili soon
emerged from the kitchen bearing a
cup of the steaming beverage on
a small tray. It was slightly Bit
ter because of the lack of. sugar,
but it tasted good to the American
girl
She offered to help Lili prepare
the dinner, and went out into the
kitchen to watch, but the girl re-
fused her help.
Il have to use so many substitutes
that I'm afraid you wouldn't know
how to cook them," she explained.
It's pretty bad, isn't it?" Claire
asked, sympathetically. 'Lili glanced
quickly at her before she answered,
then nodded her head.
I'm luckier than many, though"
she said. Il get one good meal a
day at the factory"
IL Hours of Work.
"Oh, what sort of work do you
do?"
Load shells in a munitions plant.
I wassa teacher, but what schools
are left are now handled by older
women. We younger ones must do
helpful work-the sort of thing
am doing"
Claire examined the girl closely
as she went busily about the small
kitchen.
She would be quite pretty" she
decided, IF she weren't so thin and
could get rid of those circles under
her eyes. 1t must be the poor food
and the hard work"
What hours do you work, Lili?"
she asked
only II, with a. half hour off at
noon. I get through at $50. The
factory isn't far from here, and it
doesn't take me long to get home"
Twelve hours of j. back breaking
work in a munitions plant every
day!. Nazi-ism wasn't much easier
Tor a the women of Germany, Claire
thought than the men. fighting at
the front.
A key was fitted in the lock: Frau
Weber came in.
