boon to the business girl, because
they wash and dry easily and require

second popular.
Cotton fabrics are more depend
able, longer wearing and preshrunk
and with a washable wardrobe it is
always possible to look spic and span.

WRONG GUESS
Continvsd from pogo sishfsss

Bumper felt for his pulse. 1t was
steady and even. although painfully
slow.
Bumper glanced at his watch. The
time lacked ten minutes Of the ap-
pointed two hours - ten minutes to
eleven. He breathed deeply. snapped
off the light and got back behind the
wheel. Well. it would soon be over.
That was one consolation. He'd been
a fool ever to listen to Smead. Those
two hours riding around with his
helpless and unwilling fare had taught
him lesson.
Gosh. yes! And he wouldn't take the
hundred bucks. either. After all, he
hadn't undertaken the job for the
money. 1t was only to help Gates
escape from dangerous female en-
tanglements. Why. he was only doing
what Gates own father wanted!
Bumper began to feel virtuous once
more.
He stopped at the far end of the
station ramp. Only two other hacks
we're in evidence, parked near the
waiting room. He walked toward them
and opened the door into the station.
A couple of hackies were inside drying
out. One of them hailed him. Call for
you, Mcclure. From Randolfs', For
est Park. Yer wanted right away"
Thanks" said Bumper, turning
back to his hack and feeling still more
relieved.
He got behind the wheel As he
slipped into gear he was conscious
of a confused and inarticulate mutter
from the rear seat. He glanced over his
shoulder as they passed street light.
Gates legs we're down off the seat. One
arm was clutching at the side of the
car.
For Bumper the drive to the Randolf
house was grim race. Gates mutter-
ings were becoming more coherent.
Bumper could make out a word or
two: Rosemary" Dad" Midnight
Roof" and then a full sentence:
''Smead. this coffee's terrible"

Rival Labor
Groups Differ
On Changes

Washington, April 12.-(AP)-
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor asked
the House today to approve the Nor
ton amendments to the Wagner act
but the rival CIO was buttonholng
Coneressmen to vote against them.
"In our opinion" Green wrote all
house members, these amendments
arc reasonable, highly necessary and
if adopted will serve to promote n
better and more satisfactory admin
istration of the national labor rela-
tons act"
On the other hand John L. Lewis
had dispatched a letter to all ClO
unions urging them to ''mobilize la
bor's full strength" to block the pro-
posed changes.
The amendments, by Chairman
Norton of the labor committee, would
add two new members to the three
man labor board and would make it
mandatory for the board to grant to
craft workers--if they desire ia
bargaining status separate from other
plant employees.
Green told House members that the
craft units proposal was 1.-The most
important Of all'' the amendments.
