IN SLOW GULPS

The service finds penty to do. Its present
staff Of three-score-odd is kept busy; Dr.. Steel
man has set a 100-man staff as his goal. When
he appeared before a House appropriations sub.
committee last year, to argue for a $50, 900
boost in his allotment, he explained that he
couldn't make the jump to that big a staff at
once; only by a very gradual expansion, he
said, could the service build itself up for a
position of greater usefulness,
IL much prefer to be conservative about
our future activities because, as l previous
Iy stated. an overnight expansion would be
distrous," he testified. Il do feel, however,
that if we could have twenty-five or thirty
thousand dollars additional to carry out
a well-pIanned program, it would enable
us to do far more effective work.

on.
He could not tell Lynn there had
been a difficult scene with his
mother. She had tried to be kind,
had tried to make him see how
impossible his infatuation for Lynn
was. She'd kept her temper and had
been logical and Straightforward.
"You don't understand how love
you, Lynn. l mean it"
She looked so Ill and tired. He
reviled himself bitterly.

mad. I ran into Terry and he said
he'd seen you and that you'd moved.
I had no idea of time. just came,
that's all"
An officer came along and told
Wild not to park his car there. The
morning rush traffic was beginning.
''You didn't sleep did you? Or eat
any breakfast"
"I'm all packed, ready to move"
These simple words pushed Wild
back into the slough of despond.
I'm no good! deserve to be
shotl What can 1 do, Lynn, to make
you forgive me?"
Tears were rolling down the girls
cheeks, and he tried to wipe them
away with his pocket handkerchief
as they halted in traffic. Finally he
saw a place to park and pulled his
car over to the curb.
You're going to get something to
eat" Together they went into the
nearest automat. "Pn have the boy
bring us something"
The place was crowded now with
the rushing men and women, fight
ing for their breakfast coffee. It
was noisy and confused. Lynn
leaned her aching head on her hands
and tried to hear what Wild said
above the clatter.
II say, will you marry me, Lynn?
Now, any time, ever?"
He had to say it twice, to make
himself heard above the clatter of
dishes. The waiter slammed a tray
down and unloaded their breakfast.
Wild put her coffee before her and
motioned for her to drink it. Lynn's
eyes looked less frozen now. As the
clatter increased Wild grinned at
her and shouted:

you to marry me! ! didn't hear what

How could she remain furious at
him IN this absurd situation? There

As she worked, dawn began to

face until everything was neatly
packed, the pictures she had hung
with such pleasure, the little vases,
even the disturbing papers from the
table.
She made some coffee and man.

and dressed slowly watching the
slow-moving hands of the clock. By
seven, she could stand the place no
longer. Ready for work, she walked
down the stairs, praying she'd meet
none Of her neighbors on the way.
She made her escape and almost
ran into the street. She'd have to
begin the job Of apartment hunting
all over again. There parked at the
curb was WiId's car. He was at the

CHAPTER Xxx

They were completely and utterly
happy, those two, oblivious to the
rest of the world. That Autumn al
ways remained one of the happiest
times In Lynn's life. In after years
when she'd see the city she loved
sparkling N the Autumn sun, or Lit
by a harvest moon, it brought a
vague nostalgia, a little heartbeat
one feels for lost youth.
Wild did not, however, take Lynn
back to Austin Manor. The girls
name was not mentioned between
him and his parents, although he
talked to Chuck about her. But Mrs.
Austin knew her son was seeing
the lovely model. She heard gossip.
She was bound to, for Lynn's face
appeared more and more frequently

causing considerable comment.
Then, too, Wild was too important a
person to escape general gossip.

! ONG ago, Wnen as young
| woman I found life filled
- with heavy responsibilities
and burdens, l worked out a lit
tie scheme for myself. 1t has
worked for forty years now, and
believe it will always work, for
anybody at any age.
The scheme was simple. It
consisted merely in picking out
the worst of my troubles, look
ing it firmly in the eye and de-
Gliding two things; first, whether
it was my fault, and second,
whether there was anything to
be done about it.
If it positively wasn't my
fault and there was nothing
more that l could do to cure it
than I had already done; then
1 experienced certain relief,
a certain peace of mind from
the mere contemplation and
analysis. For example, if one
of the younger children was Ill,
and l inordinately worried, just
the thought that the doctor had
the case in charge, and that the
child was being carefully
watched, did something to reas-
sure me. Or suppose l had to
deny one of the younger mem
bers of the family the money
or the luxury or the advantage
that some other child had; to
remind myself that that advan-
tage, however large or small,
simply could not be afforded,
through no blame to myself, instant
ly stabilized my own position.
Face Ones Problems.
And so with older and more Sc
rious problems, in all the years, the
habit of facing them, analyzing
them, dismissing them, has proved
to be the successful way to escape
them.
That's why I'm recommending
this process of analysis today to all
the mothers and fathers of America
who are worrying about one of our
latest national epidemics. I mean
the tendency our children have, in
high school and college years, to
yearn for other sorts Of government,
other social experiments, other isms
of all sorts.
Too often we dismiss this tenden-
cy-and it is widespread-with a
mere nervous "I don't know what's
getting into schools and colleges
nowadays, they're turning out per-
feet REDS!"
And to the eager student we say
coldly: 81 don't want to hear any
more of that nonsensel You don't
know one thing about Russia. Peo-
pie buying divorces the way you
buy theater tickets, and no religion,
and everybody living in one roomi
Don't you let your father hear you
talk that way, and don't you bring
that red-headed boy to this house
againl"
Look to the Constitution.
Now, it seems to me we ought to
take quite a different attitude. It
seems to me we ought to try rather
to convince these young revolution
aries what the simple truth is: that
there is no ideal social system that
is not perfectly compatible with the
principles upon which this greatest
of all republics was founded.
There is no system of the sharing
of labor, wealth, land that is not
practicable under our own Constitu-
ton. It has been called the noblest
document ever emanating from the
heart of man, and it deserves the
description. If we were true to it,
if we spent upon the study and de-
yelopment of it one half the time
