CHAPTER XII

That one," Kitty said scorntully as she was powdering her nose be- fore going home late that afternoon She stared at Sue Mary in the washroom mirror. |,
 "Of course she had that order I saw you speak to her and ] saw her go in the old mans office with those papers. And I can guess just how surprised she was to discover that they were hunt ing for that one in particular and how innocent she acted. bet they ate her alibi up; about her being new and strange here She's cool number" Kitty pulled her ridiculous excuse Of a hat down over her black curlS She's smart, but I bet she doesn't make the grade with young Ross Clark"
 Sue Mary hid her smile. She was glad Kitty was too engrossed with Vera and young Ross Clark to think more about Vera and the paper. That business had upset her more than she had thought Her head ached and the walk home seemed twice as long.
 She didn't want to go out that evening, but Joe called. It had been a week since they had had & date and she couldn't refuse now.
 Once with him she found her. self swinging back again to the other side. All the problems at the office, all the enthusiasms ot the TYP group somehow seemed trivial. Joe talked of vacation plans, of the simpler things that had once constituted her whole life.
 With the war talk, world prob- lems, and politics on everyone's lips, Joe's plans for a camping trip up north, his attempts to paint the joys of fishing, and the pressure of his hands on hers when he spoke of the weeks vaca- ten seemed to give the world a different color.
 "Sue Mary" he said, some times don't you get tired of work ing in that office, and playing around with that crazy outfit? sometimes don't you think you'd like to get married and have hczne of your own?
 "My jobs safe. At least I think it is, and I'm in a swell depart ment; there's 8 future in research I think we ought to plan on get ting married.
 'sMy work is going along swell, he went on earnestly. Why don't we plan on a wedding and be like other people. We're living alone now and trying to pretend it's fun Well, don't think it is. I want you and I hope you want me Although sometimes = - I sort oi fell you find me pretty dull"
 "Oh, no Joe. It's not that. care for you" Sue Mary pulled his arm tighter about her. T feel so safe and sure of things when I'm with you, but then there's 8 whole week with time on my hands and what happens? I sec other people and my own life seems drab. I want something tc happen to me. I don't just want to work at the office, come home and sit and read all evening.
 T don't think you're dull. After I'm with you I wonder about the others, because what you say is

Performances this evening at the popular Warner Bros Strand the ater conclude the engagements of Greer Carson and Laurence Olivier in Pride and Prejudice; also "The Man I Married" with Joan Bennett, Francis Lederer and Lloyd Nolan.
 And then starting tomorrow after noon the Strand will usher in an- other fine twin bill with Flowing Gold" as the headliners
 The picture is a highly lauded film transcription of Rex Beach's immortal novel and stars John Gar field, Frances Farmer and Pat O'Brien in the leading roles.
 In addition to the fast-moving story, the camera captures some of the most astounding shots of the year, a huge overpowering ava lanche that almost comes between the two romantic leads, the unique thrill of tapping new oil drum and seeing the dark fluid shooting gey- ser-like into the air, the uninhibited rowdyism of free-for-all among men who love to fight; proof that the world of greasy derricks and humping machinery is an exciting and breathtaking one.
 O'Brien and Clarified are said to deliver fortnight, steady perform ances as the hardworking oil men in love with the high-spirited prospec- tors daughter. In the latter role Frances Farmer proves to be an en- gazing blonde foil for the male stars.
 An excellent supporting cast in- cluding Raymond Walburn, Cliff Edwards, Tom Kennedy and Will liam Marshall give immeasurable aid to the exciting proceedings.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present La dies Must Live" with Wayne Mor- ris and Rosemary Lane in the CO., starring leads.

Phone EXCHANGE
Started in '83

Washington had hong been a ter
ritory before the sound Of the hui
man voice was ever transmitted
farther than one could shout and
have the reverberations travel by
echo. 1t was only thirteen years
before the admission of Washing
ton that Alexander Graham Bell
created and exhibited the first
crude telephone at the Centennial
Exposition of 1876.
The first exchange in Washing
ton Territory was established in
Seattle in March 1888, but the SER
vice was still relatively crude in
the year of admission. At the be-
ginning of 1889. pioneer telephone
exchanges were in operation in Sc
attic, Tacoma, Walla Wslla, Port
Townsend, Colfax and Spokane. All
instruments totaled $50 telephones.
BY 1899 there We're 6,557 tele-
phones in use, by 1920 there were
19s,447 and by 1899 there were
323,1 telephones in Washington.
When you take the receiver off
the hook today, you may connect
with more than $4,000 other
telephones in the State of WASH
ington. You may likewise obtain
almost immediate connection with
any of the $4,000, 900 telephones in
the United States. Further, you
have available SO per cent of the
telephones in service throughout

watkin Evans. nationally known
mining engineer. who concurs in
the suggestion made by President
Franklin d. Roosevelt the latter
part of 1889 that it would be ad-
vantageous to have an iron and
steel plant on the Pacific coast.
That there is a demand for such
an industry is pointed out by
Evans in his assertion that an ex-
animation of government reports
discloses that 1,s00.0 900 long tons
of steel products are used each
year along the Pacific coast. APP
proximately $4,000 long tons of
tin plate are also used on the
coast.
In the state of Washington,
British Columbia and Alaska, an
almost inexhaustible supply of iron
ores exists. High-grade iron ore
can be quarried and delivered on
Puget Sound points from British
Columbia for less than iron ore
can be delivered at Pittsburgh, Pa,
from Minnesota iron mines.
Limestone Available
Limestone, needed to make pig
iron, can also be delivered at
points on Puget Sound at about
the same cost that it is delivered
in the plants in the east. Suitable
coke can be furnished at a little
higher cost than is true of the
cokes around Pittsburgh, Pa.
There are 10 places in Puget
Sound area where iron ore is
known to exist and some of it is
of very good quality. Large ton
nages Of high-grade iron ore is to
be found in four Eastern Washing
ton counties.
Another source of iron ore is in
British Columbia and Alaska.
which could be brought to Puget
Sound.
Plenty of Coal
Washington has more than three
times the tonnage of coal that
exists in the great anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania, and has the
greatest varieties of Goals of any
state in the union.
In Pierce county are to be found
hiqh-Prade cooking Goals that will
make a coke almost equal to the
cokes Of Pennsylvania, with less
sulphur than the eastern fuel.
There's enough coking coal in
Pierce county alone to last many
large steel plants several hundred
years, Evans asserts.
Many millions of tons of suit
able limestone are to be found

Much Power Available
With completion of the Bonnie

intertie agreement with Tacoma,
an abundance of electric power at
low cost is available. In a short
time, the Grand Coulee project

another large unit of electric pow

Sweden leads the world in quail
ity of steel through use of cleo

It is believed that with an electric
smelter on Puget Sound, a better
grade product than is now on the
general market could be developed.

went strongly Republican for pres
ident and then chose a Democrat
for governor. In Missouri. to the
east of the state line it was the
reverse, their vote going to the
Democratic nominee for president
yet they favored the Republican
for governor. Maybe Negroes
