ought to get married. Don't let any
l-er-opposition stand in your way
if you've found the man you want
to marry. Marriage is the right and
natural answer for any girl. I think
you'd make a swell wife"
DO you?" she asked coolly, per-
picked by the entire trend of the
conversation.
"I do" he said promptly. you're
fond of children and you've learned
to take responsibility. You were
born to lead - well, you've got
everything a man would want IN a
wife"
Thanks" she said miserably'

something. She wasn't sure what II
was. She was only sure he was tell
ing her that she'd make a good wife
flor someone else.
Suddenly she decided on a %
stroke, Ellen forgotten for the mo-
|ment! If she'd done it seriously, the
results would have been very DIFF
Iferent. But she laughed derlslvely
and said, This wouldn't. be a pro-
posal, would it?"
For an instant Bill forgot Nicky
and what Gertrude had said to him.
He looked into her eyes and sa"
that they were hooking. Then he
remembered Nicky again, and said
"No, I know my place, Fab"
The waitress said, Some more hot
water, Miss?"
Fabienne pulled her gloves on
WAS that what you wanted to talk
to me about, Bin?"
Gosh he answered boyishly. Il
forgot. How'd you ike to give a
few hours a day to some social work
at the Park-Plaza hospital? We
need someone and I could keep an
eye on you"

promptly.
Tomorrow. You won't find 1t
very exciting, but it will fill in some
of those deadly hours you're COM

Bill was very wrong about her
experience at the Park-Plaza not be-
ing very exciting.

The criticism was embraced in one

The committee condemned all

You know I've been telling you from
time to time, that the governor was
busy balancing this budget, and when
I've talked to the editor about it, he
always said the governor couldn't do
it, or at any rate he wouldn't get it
done before June 80 when he's sup
posed to tell the people about how
things are in the bankroll of the state.
I've argued that If the governor would
really settle down with a few bottles,
the thing could be done most any
time, and I've. won the argument.

of the month in black, nearly so days

CHICAGO CIVIL
liberties ANNUAL
MEETING MAY IS

CHICAGO.-(FP)-The leading de-
fender of civil rights in the Chicago
area, the Chicago Civil Liberties Com
mittee, holds it's annual meeting at the
Hotel LaSalle May 18, Secretary Ira
Latimer announces. The committee
wants to double it's membership of
1000 and increase it's $4,000 annual
budget e
The committee has made a success
full fight against abuses of the third
degree by Chicago police, forcing the
dismissal of two of the worst offend
ers. 1t has liberalized, though not
abolished movie censorship and police
interference with the right of assem-
bly,. 1t has helped to run down fascist
and anti-semitic disturbers of the
peace. 1t finally obtained the coop
Grafton of Mayor Kelly and the COM
mon council, which was signalized by
public proclamation of a civil liberties
week in Chicago.
National activities affecting civil
rights, such as the Dies witchhunt,
the FBIs blacklist of progressive
Americans, the revival of the khan in
some sections, and the many reaction
airy bills in congress affecting aliens
and others, have added many burdens
to the staff of the Chicago civil liber-
ties committee.

NEW YORK FP) = One of the
best labor stories in weeks was
handed to the Metropolitan dailies on
May 1, and two days later not line
of it had been printed.
The story carried by Federated
Press on May p came from the init.
Fur & Leather Workers Union (CIO),
four of whose officers have just been
convicted in an antitrust trial under
6-year-old indictments.
The union made public letter from
Harry D. Glicksman, lawyer for the
Independent Fur Manufacturers Assn,
which revealed that the employers had
persuaded the department of justice
a year ago to revive the old indict-
ments. Purpose was to bring "suffi-
cient pressure to force the union to
give us the agreement we seek" as
Glicksman wrote to his clients.
-Glicksman admitted to Federated
Press that he had conferred with de-
partment of justice officials a year
ago, but he would not comment on
the subject of his conferences. He
did not deny that the letter, which

the line. Even in our career service,
which has attempted to employ civil
service standards, an Independent in
come is more important than broad
knowledge of work affairs.
Reports coming to our state depart
ment often are incomplete and the
information is inaccurate, making it
necessary for American statesmen to
seek needed information from foreign
American newspaper correspondents.
And this raises question: If Amer
lean newspapers can obtain competent
men to represent them abroad, why
can't the state department?
1t is generally said that we must
have wealthy men as ambassadors
because the expense of living abroad
and maintaining social front is very
|great-that in spite of the fact that
ambassadors are furnished with
homes, quarters, servants, and liberal
entertainment accounts, they still can
not live on their salaries. Perhaps if
they spent less money entertaining
society in foreign capitals, and more
time in learning what is happening
in the world, our country would know
about what is happening abroad.

A. E. (Bert) Kathan, progressive
candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket, was
one of the speakers ON the program
of the fourth annual convention of the
Montana State Industrial Union Coun-
Gil last Sunday, in Billings, and re-
ports indicate that his presentation
and discussion of questions of the day,
were favorably received by the dele
gates.
With all of the controlled state
press giving Senator Kathan the ISL
lent treatment it is obvious that. the
special interests controlling these pa
pers does not look with favor on his
candidacy, and very evidently classes
him with the farmer and labor or
CARNATIONS and their interests, which
are seldom found worthy of any pub
licity.
An encouraging development of SEN

Debts Eat Up
Farmers Income

FARGO, N D.-(FR)-Debts ate up
more than one-third as much of the
farmers income as did total family
living" according to the. record books
of 118 farm families studied by the
North Dakota agricultural experiment
station. The average expenditure for
family living was 1898 1882 in cash
and 1896 from the FARM while 1927
went for debts, $342 for capital equip
ment, $4O4 for operating expense. The
adult male equivalent" meaning the
head of the household, was able to
"squander" only s14 year for cloth
ing and only 81 for education and rec
reation.
The families studied were FSA bor
rowers and it was assumed that their
expenditures on capital equipment
and debt might be higher than typical
since many were making new start.
The study concluded, however, that
the average amount reported for food
was probably about as. low as will
maintain health and efficiency even if
. :. carefully planned" and. saw no
chance of these families securing more
without aid.

New patterns of security and OPP
