Honey slipped quickly out of her
wet things. And as she dressed, she
asked herself: II wonder how far
we are from San Francisco? I must
get there as soon as I can"
The light woolen dress fit per-
fectly. She took the diamond from
the fur coat and dropped it into
the pocket of the borrowed dress
whose skirt was rather full and
hid the sag to some extent where
the box weighted it down. When
she came out of the room, there
was a nice hot cup of coffee, toast
and preserves waiting for her. Art
was smoking his pipe and looking
out of the window. He turned as
she came in.
Il guess We should ride into
town and notify the authorities of
your safety" he suggested.
Honey shook her head quickly
That was the one thing she did not
want.

added wistfully. There is no one

Dan, and he NAV hate you by now
for what he thinks you are. A thief"
A shudder passed quickly over her.

or" Drawled Art and his eyes
twinkled with fun. II did know
some girls in school, ma, I could
have a visitor"
Honey laughed and that was the
end of the explanations for her pres
ence in the Carey household. The
relief she felt was like a new lease
on life. There seemed to be moth
ing for her to worry over any more
as if she were lost and did not care.
And the Careys made her so well
come in their pretty little home, as
though she were really an old friend.
Art a Lawyer.
Right after lunch, which seemed
the best meal she had ever eaten,
the fog lifted and Honey went for a
walk along the rugged shore with
Art. The breakers pounding hard
against the rocks, was calming to
Honey's overwrought nerves and
she breathed deeply of the salty air.
AS they walked, she learned that
Art was a lawyer by profession but
that he and his mother were in
California for his health. And now
that he was well again, they would
be going back to the Middle West
ern town to take up life where they
left of.

he added. 'Loafing is fine for a

she could have added, IAN exciting

Even walking with Art and listen

fore they were reached.
Memories Haunt Honey.
And always there came Joe into
the mental picture to disturb her
thoughts. She was definitely afraid
of him now, and until last night
she had never been scared of any
one. She should never have become
involved with him, she told herself
time and again.
"A penny for your thoughts. They
must be interesting to take you so
far away" said her companion, re-
calling her to the present.
I'm sorry" she apologized.
"They aren't for sale"
"Ah, a man then. When a girl is
secretive about what she is thinking
it's always man."
II won't argue the point" she
laughed, because lawyers have a
way of winning their points"
I'VE sure try hard"
Honey rode into the village with
Art for the mail in the late after
noon. 1t seemed she had known
him always and not just since early
morning. While he assorted and
opened his letters he handed her
the paper to read. The headlines,
OF course, were all about the crash.
There among the list of victims was
her name, Honey Monroe of Los
Angeles. She looked up to see Art
Carey reading the same list over
her shoulder.
Surprise crossed his face and he
lifted his eyes and met hers squarely.
There was hint of inquiry in the
depths of his, but he said nothing.
Honey lowered her gaze quickly and
continued to read the other cap
tions on the front page while flush
of guilt burned her cheeks.
A moment later she caught her
breath and a sob rose to her throat
as her eyes fell on an item near
the bottom of the page.

June 80 will be big day in the
lives of Uncle Sans dollar-a-year
men. That's pay day.
Payment is to be by check. Most
of the dollar-a-year-men won't get
a full dollar, because at that time
Government complete year. So
they will get paid in proportion to
period of service. Fifty cents for
six months, twenty-five cents for
three months, and so on.
And if they want to keep their
United States Treasury checks as
souvenirs, they won't cause as much
trouble as did their predecessors
the oollar-a-year men of the World
War
In those days, according to defense
officials, there was no special fund
to take care of possible delayed de-
mandS for cashing Government
checks, so the Treasury had to
carry over the names, etc, of the un-
cashed check holders year after year.
boOkkeeplng SOStiy.
1t has been estimated, unoffi-
cially, that each dollar-a-year check
issued in the World War cost the
Government about 5000 in red-tape
bookkeeping. That may be exagger-
ated. but beyond doubt the uncashed
checks caused no end of bother.
Book work on the uncashed checks
this time will be comparatively SIM
Pile Since 1884 the Treasury De-
partment has maintained an "out-
standing liabilities" fund out of
which could come such financial ex-
penditures as cashing Government
checks up to two years old. And,
even after two years, such require
mentS can be taken care of out of
special surplus fund
This time Uncle Sam will not be
particularly concerned if his dollar
a-year employees frame their checks
and hang them on the wall. In
fact, he sort of expects them to.
Contrary to popular belief, dollar
a-year men did not come into being
in the World War. They merely were
brought to public attention at that
time, when their number was in
creased and their duties became vital
in national preparedness.
Pinchot Belonged.
Technical consultantS had been
associated occasionally with the De-
partment of Agriculture long before
1917, according to research studies
made by David Carson Dougherty
assistant to Roy Jackson. admins
trative officer of the Office of Pro-
duction Management.
One of the more widely-known
dollar-a-year men prior to the Worlc
War was Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester during Theodore Roose-
velt's administration and a men,

ingness to serve without compensa-
ton, ne was prohibited from doing
so by congressional act of July IL
1870, which stated, in part:
"* Nor shall any department
or agency of Government accept
voluntary service for the Govern
ment or employ personnel service in
excess OF that authorized by law

DoI|or-o-Yeur Men Look
Forward to June 80 Pay Day
Some to Draw Checks for so Cents or Less;
Knudsen to Get No Such Souvenir

except in cases of sudden emergency
involving loss of life or destruction
of property"
To circumvent this statute, de-
signed to prevent subsequent claims
for compensation against the Gov
ernment, the dollar -a-year system
for those willing to volunteer their
services was evolved
Some Got No Dollar.
In 1916 the act creating the Ma
tional Defense Advisory Council spe-
Gifted that its seven members were
to serve without pay. And, under
that particular authority, members
of the defense Commission-both in
the World War and in the current
emergency-were not to get even a
dollar a year.
Thus while more than 160 of their
associates and subordinates in the
Office of Production Management
will get checks for one dollar, or an
appropriate share thereof, on June
30, Messrs. William S. Knudsen and
Sidney Hillman, co-directors of O.
P. NJ, are to get not q nickel from
the Government. AS members of
the Defense Commission-paper po-
sitionS they still retain in spite of
o. P. M. jobs that require all their
time-they cannot receive compen-
| Sation.
In addition to the dollar year
men, the defense agencies have
nearly $50 men who serve without
pay, but who rec live $40 day travel
and expense money when they are

Tribute to Sheppard

A memorial service as tribute to
the late Senator Sheppard of Texas,
stanch supporter of their organiza-
ton, was held by presidents and
other officers Of the % local unions
OF the Womarrs Christian Tenn
perance Union at the headquarters
building at 522 Sixth street NV.
During the service, a number of
those present gave brief eulogies
in memory of Senator Sheppard.
The program was concluded with
a poem and prayer by Mrs. Earle

chapter.

usually only few days a week at
most. Nearly all of these are special
technicians who help on occasion
with the o. p. M. labor divisions
program to train defense workers.
And there are some consultants
who are called on for services on a
per diem basis, $2222 being the
usual rate in the higher classifica-
tions.
Fewer w. o. C.'s Added.
Fewer and fewer consultants,
w. o. C.'s Gas the without compen-
sation men are called and dollar-a-
year men are being added to the de-
fense agency's rolls these days.
For one thing, the requirements
for such posts are becoming more
rigid. Only men of outstanding
experience and ability" need apply
and only those of that caliber are
sought.
Some of the difficulties of finding
dollar-a-year men to fill needed
posts were indicated by President
Roosevelt at a press conference
yesterday afternoon.
Asked If Harry Hopkins, newly
designated procurement chief of the
lease-lend program, would serve as
a dollar-a-year man, Mr.. Roosevelt
replied that Mr.. Hopkins would not.
And the President remarked,
laughingly, that Mr. Hopkins Is a
Democrat. Once, the President
continued, he asked Mr.. Knudsen
if the o. P. M. chief couldn't find
more Democrats for dollar year
jobs. And he was told that Mr..
Knudsen had looked all over the
country and reached the conclusion,
eventually, that no Democrats had
money enough to afford work at the
dollar-a- rate.

Proposed Amendment
Would Increase
Benefits To JObless

Under amendments to the
Maryland Unemployment Compen-
sation Act laid before the Legis-
lature by the Unemployment Com
pensation Board payments to I'M
employed would be increased more
than 20 per cent, it is estimated
on the basis of unemployment in
1910.
Changes asked by the board in
clude a reduction of the waiting
period for claimants from two
weeks to one week. This means
that eligible claimants would re-
ceive benefit payments in the
third week of unemployment in
stead of the fourth week. The
minimum weekly benefit payment
would be increased from SIS to 81,
based on earnings in the preced-
ing calendar year; the maximum
rate would be increased from SIS
to SIT, and it would be possible
for the unemployed worker to get
benefits for 20 weeks.
New claims, based on last
years. earnings, will be received
at the State Employment offices
on and after Monday, March II.
