After Mark Alexander's beauti-
full wife Ellen died, her whole ia
n1ily became interested in Vale
RE, Ellen's daughter by former
marriage-and in the trust fund
left Valerie. All Ellen's sisters,
save Shirley, frightened Valerie
by assuming she would live with
them, but Mark came to the res
cue and took Valerie on long
trip. On the way home, he and
Valerie met Lucy TredWay, own
err Of a broken down travelling Ii
brary. Mark hired her to tutor
Lucy and brought her home. Ell
Use, trying to make the most OF
the opportunity, appeared at the
house on the day they returned
and was startled to see Lucy
there. She left in a quiet huff and

her. Valerie is talking things over

Valerie moved a little nearer.
She would tell Lucy. ''You see
I don't like herl Mrs. Waterford,
I mean. My mother did. That is,
I suppose she did. They were to-
gether a good deal - anyway,
whenever was home. Of course,

Lucy wondered If it was pos

how much of this was Lucy's
work.
Mark found Elise and even
Shirley vaguely disturbing. He
was beginning to realize he had
known them for years without
knowing them at all. He didn't
even now ssupect why this was
so, or guess that Ellen had guard
ed him so subtly from every wo-
man except herself. He had
danced with them and sat beside
them at dinner, and found him
self looking into Ellen's eyes
again before. they became to him
any more than figures moving
across a stage.
Elise had invited herself to
dinner at Wide Acres twice be-
fore Shirley showed up at all.
Elise never mentioned her, and
Mark almost forgot she lived only
a scant ten miles away. He was
ashamed to find how complete
ly she was out of his thought,
when he came home late one af-
ternoon in June to find her sit
ting with Valerie and Lucy at a
table under huge gay umbrella
at the edge of the pool.
They were all in swimming
suits, and they hailed him as he
caught sight of them through the
trees, and came across the lawn.
Shirley was at her best in the
water. She gave him her hand,
her long grey eyes a little SOM
Der under the yellow handker-
chief that bound her head.
Hello, Mark" she said. Valerie
thought how nice it was to hear
her fathers name instead of Ell
sizes invariable darling" Il got
tired of waiting to be sent for.
Valerie was going to telephone
me, but she never did. So I just
came over"
He looked at her with approval.
Women were like gay slim boys
these days, in their brief suits.
He kissed Valerie, and hurried
to the house, coming back in his
swimming toys. He caught Shir'
ley by the hand, and together
they took a running dive.
! Shirley came to the surface
first, shaking the water from he1
eyes, and laughing in his face
She put her hand on his shout

she asked.

Il thought maybe visitors were
to stay on the outside looking ir
where I suppose they belong
Only, I got tired of hearing al
about you from Elise; so

and came to hunt you up"
Elise ran in one night to see
if we were back, explained Mark
He stood beside Shirley, treadine

lightly as a lily on the surface Of
the pool. Indeed, she was like {

pened that we were. Then she
came over late one afternoon last
week and there was thunder

stayed until it was over, which
happened to be after dinner"
Shirley let her lids droop over
her long eyes. She opened them
slowly to look up at him. Il see,'
she said.
He wondered at the sudden
warmth of her voice. well

you too, if you don't look ut," he
told her. He had forgotten she was

Building Briefs

The age of house is no clue
to it's structural condition. A
200-year-old house may be in ex-
cellent shape, due to the care
fulness of it's builder, while
20-year-old house may be about
to collapse. The best way of
telling the condition of house
is to have it examined thorough
ly by an expert.
4 X
The five most important
causes of roof trouble are ma
terial, construction, weathering,
flashings and designs. Check
the first danger off the list by
applying long-lived, fire-resist-
ant roofing, such as colorful
and economical asphalt shingles.
Used in an outer wall of the
house, hollow glass CLOCKS will
flood an otherwise gloomy room
with useful, natural light. With
in the home, in partitions, in
sulux glass blocks borrow sur
>plus light from well-windowed
rooms to give to less-favored
ones.
A colored roof not only will
add new beauty to the homes
exterior, but the right color will
make the house seem perfectly
proportioned. If the house is
too tall, a roof of dark brown
or blue-black asphalt shingles
will make it seem lower. A roof
of blue asphalt shingles on
white house will make it seem
winter.
A cheerful, cracking fire in
the fireplace is in great demand
these rainy, chill spring days
and that brings a warning from
the National Fire Protection
Association that chimney sparks
falling on combustible roof shin
giles may set your entire home
ablaze.
Il 4 X
One way to avoid the danger
of such fire, without eliminat-
ing the joys of the fireplace, is
to re-roof with a fire-resistant
material such as asphalt shin
giles. Asphalt shingles not only
are fire-resistant but colorful
and economical.

Six Live Thru Explosion, Fire,
And Hours At Sea In Life Belts

SURVIVING an explosion which
~ wrecked their boat, and a blaze
which finally sent it to the bottom,
six men in life preservers clung to-
gether for several hours far out IN
Galveston Bay until, in the nick OF
time, help came from shore.
The men, members of Texas oil
drilling crew, set off in light tug
from Barbour's Cut at ten-thirty at
night. They were about twelve miles
out when a terrific explosion shook
the tug and sheets of flame burst
from the engine room.
All hands grabbed fire extinguish-
ers but could make no headway
against the blaze. In a few minutes
it was evident that the boat was
doomed, so the crew seized life pre-
servers and went overheard. Swim
ming and struggling to get away
from the boat and out of range OF
another possible explosion, they pre-
pared to hang together as long as
they could keep afoat.
I'VE watched the tug burn to the
waters edge, then sink" said William
Crane. "Then we were left in dark
ness and miles of rough, cold water.
For nearly three hours we hoated
and swan without a sign that we
might be rescued.
Finally we sighted a boat sent
out by the oil company to search
for us. But by this time we had
drifted so far from the course the
searching party took that they never

to the 40-hour schedule of the
present, continued Donnelly.
Sweatshop conditions have been
practically eliminated, with wo-
men workers sharing in bet
ter life along with the men.
1t is my hope said Donnelly,
that the time will come when
the employee and the employer
can ride down the road in the
front seat and discuss their mu-
tual problems on even terms -
and when that time comes there
will be no need for further la
Dor legislation and laws of regu-
lation for protection of the
worker.
Emerson L. Fishbaugh, presi-
dent of the Newark Federation
of Labor presided at the dedi-
cation ceremony and introduced
visiting representatives of la
Dor organizations and other
guests, as we'll as local commit
tees and officers.
Rev. Father John j. Slattery
gave the invocation and men,
bers of the Musicians union,
Local 122, furnished music for
the program.
President Fishbaugh made the
formal presentation of keys of
the new hall to Glenn A. Law
yer, member of the board of
trustees, who accepted them
with few we'll chosen words.
The Ewald School of Dancing
presented a pleasing and enter
tanning floor show under the di-
rection of Dobbs Hempleman,
consisting for the most part of
patriotic numbers. One dancing
skit dedicated to the Newark Fe-
deration of Labor was especially
we'll received.
Secretary Edgar E. Baker
and John R. Penick, chairman of
the program committee, speak
ing for the Federation, wish to
acknowledge appreciation for
the excellent entertainment pre-
sented by the school.
Among those present and in
troduced by Mr.. Fishbaugh were:
John C. Getrue, president, Colum-
bus Federation of Labor, and
Carroll McGee, secretary of that
organization; Paul Bancroft,
president, Trades and Labor
Council of Coshocton; Hervey

Citing the progress made by
the Newark Federation of Labor
since it's beginning in 1892,
Thomas J. Donnelly, secretary
treasurer of the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor, addressed near
ly four hundred people, attend
ing the dedication ceremony of
the new Labor hall, Sunday af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Donnelly stressed the fact
that when an individual builds
a home in a community he inn
mediately becomes an integral
part of the social, civic and bu-
siness life-he becomes a perm
anent member of that communi-
ty. With the dedication of the
new hall the Newark Federation
of Labor becomes more than
ever a necessary part of Newark
life, and a permanent organiZa-
tion which will continue to do
everything in its power to make
Newark a better place in which
to live.
Organized labor has been re-
sponsible for the tremendous ad-
vance made in shortening the
working day of 10 and II hours
