"Reba's n smart girl" said
papa as he turned up his coat
collar in the freezing alley.
Then suddenly the stage
door opened, and with a coat
thrown over his stage cos

rounded by the men Tiny had
typed for at the hotel. A
crowd followed from behind,
and autograph hounds began
TO swarm in from the street.
But the star saw Tiny.

JOB FOR AUTHOR

She was low in spirits all
morning in school. but after
lunch she was rushed out on
a hurry call to type a manu-
script for writer.
1t was Tiny's first expert
ence working for an author,
and she was scared stiff when
she went in his hotel apart
ment and found half a dozen
men there. all talking at the
same time. Then she recog-
nized one of them; it was the
star of the show Reba's Gus
toners were in. the very
show she was going TO see
herself, that night.
Tiny was so excited that
here at last something had
happened which Reba couldn't
match, she lost her stage
fright. Sitting down at the
machine. she managed to get
out a clean script, though
sometimes the star. the author
and four kibitzers were die
tating at the same time.
But Tiny had a wonderful
afternoon. The sketch she
typed was to be used that
night by the star at a charity
benefit. after his own show.
1t was so funny, Tiny could
scarcely make her fingers
work. with laughing.
They should make all au-
diences like Tiny here" said
the star. "She's immense."
ALL DRESSED UP
When she got home it was
after Z, and mama was in a
rage. Here it was Reba's
s birthday. she said. and the
dinner was planned for 8
o'clock and half cold already.
T'll pass dinner" said Tiny.
"and go battle and dress. I'm
not hungry anyway"
AS she laid out her evening
things, she heard papa read
ing out loud from the evening
paper about the star and the
sketch.
When the final curtain went
down on the show. Reba an
nounced she had the biggest
thrill of the evening IN store

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
l.. II. R.: Can kidney stones
be removed without an opera
ton? Will the stones come
back if the diet isn't restricted
to certain foods that contain no
calcium ?"
Answer-Small kidney stones
often pass by themselves. Ther4
is no known way to dissolI
kidney stones. Various theorieA
have been advanced as TO the
role of diet in the formation OF
kidney stones, but they are only
theories. Removal of excess
CALCIUM from the diet has not
proved of any value. 1t would
not be safe to remove all CAL

KEEPS HER SILENCE

So Tiny said nothing about
passing her tests with high

lowed she was sent out nearly
every day on substitute work.

thought, taking dictation one

The daily bath is not for those

NOTED to the schools employ

she was eligible for part time
Jobs. She wouldn't get paid
for them. she was still stu
dent; but the experience would
be marvellous, the teacher
said. On her way home Tiny
felt she had something at last
to tell the family. For once
she could be the center of
attraction.
But her cousin had already
arrived for supper.
"You must congratulate
Reba," said mama before Tiny
could open her mouth. "Such
grand news she had about her
job today-a raise already.
and she's not working at the
place eight months YETI"
Tiny swallowed hard, and
rose TO the OCCASION.
81 congratulate YOU" she
said solcmnly to Reba.
"A smart GIRL" said papa.
"A very smart girl" said
mama.
Something fro0e up then
and there inside of Tiny.
Nothing she ever did, she felt,
would compare in her parents
eyes to the achievements of
her cousin. Reba was a smart
girl!

swore he'd never pay the

they'd seen the same star IN

plot succeeds, the effect on America
will be shocking. According to
Keyhoe, dozens of key indus
tries, ArmyNavy projects, shipping
transport and communication will
be paralyZed.
If the government merely blocks
the planned general strike, leaving
the communists in the unions, Key
hoe asserts that it will only result
In a wave of sabotage. In certain
shipyards, he says, dozens of
sabotage cases have occurred,
laid to Communist shipyard work
ers. Through Communists esta-
blished in trade unions all over the
nation, powerful sabotage and
spy ring is ready to act on short
notice.
To halt the general strike plan
with a minimum of sabotage risk
the Dies Committee recommends:
Deporting of alien spies and sabo-
teurs who advocate a basic change
IN the form of government; legis-
latlon requiring all Federal officials
and employees to be American citi-
zens; outlawing of political parties
under control of foreign govern
ments; and most important Of all;
employment in national defense
to be denied to any persons who
are members of foreign political
organizations.
Though exposes of Communist
influence in recent strikes have been
met with the usual cry of "red
batting" and "capitalistic lies" Key
hoe charges that behind every
claim of promoting workingmen's
interest is the answering Com
munist plot to overthrow our
democracy and, abolish labor
unions and create a Soviet America.
When Joseph Stain sent the
American Communist Party into
action to seize control of labor.
Keyhoe says he gave them this
final order;
"You must take direction of
future class wars in the United
States. You must prepare for that

and by every means"

"that free Americans woke up and

1900, and the surrender of the
island of Guam by the Spaniards in
1898.
The June diary alo reveals that
the Marines performed a humani-
tartan mission when they fought a
fire which had broken out on an
Italian vessel in the harbor of Cal
lao, Peru, in June, 1873, and that
later they received the thanks of
the italian Minister of Foreign At
fairs.
Even a brief recital of outstand-
ing June events fills several pages
of Marine Corps history. The day
by-day accounts begin with a
thrilling sea battle fought with an
enemy vessel at pistol range on
June 1, 1880, and conclude with the
remaining of Belleau Wood, "Bois
de la Brigade de Marine" on June
80, 1918, signal honor paid by the
French nation to the sea soldiers.

intended to tie up Americas entire
national defense program. In an
article appearing in the June issue
of Cosmopolitan magazine, Donald
E. Keyhoe, Washington newsman,
reports that Communistic leaders
are deliberately alternating public
sympathy from trade unions to in
crease bitterness between capital
and labor, hoping to cause a general
strike, riots, and eventual revolt.
Details of the Stain plot, Keyhoe
says, were uncovered by Dies Com
mittee agents planted at three
widely separated key points in the
role of Communists. By fraudulent
strike votes and similar strategy,
G.P.U. agents have worked their
way into important posts in local
unions and have forced thousands
of loyal American workers to
strike against their will. The Allis-
Chalmers strike is a typical exam
pie. 1t was revealed that gross
fraud was practiced in the balloting
by which the strike was called.
Handwriting experts, one employed
by the union, testified before the
Wisconsin Labor Board that ballot
boxes were stuffed by duplicated
votes with 1900 out Of the $500
votes reported fraudulent.
Plans for the general strike,
Keyhoe reports, hang on the gov
eminent deportation proceedings
against Harry Bridges, head of
Longshoreman's and Warehouse
mans Union. If Bridges is ordered
deported, the strike will be called
as a protest. Otherwise another
pretext will be found. If the Soviet

as members of the End Division,
they aided in Selling and holding
Belleau Wood in France against all
enemy attacks, many other cpl
sodes point to the versatility Of the
Corps.
A fight with natives of Formosa
in 1867, a similar action against
Korean natives in 1871, and the
landing of battalion in Cuba dur
ing the Spanish-American War in
1898 We're typical June events.
Other June entries recount a
lively sea fight during the War of
1872, the pursuit and destruction of
a pirate ship in Mexican waters in
1870, an expedition to China in
