 Busy with her thoughts, she was startled as the heavy outer door of the building changed behind her, to hear the furious barking of dog and the scream of child. She ran up the short flight of steps that led to the first floor corridor.
 The hall lights hadn't been turned on yet and she could hardly see in the dusk. Guided more by sound than sight she found the small figure crouched in the recess of her own doorway. A chow dog, that, Enid knew, belonged in the apartment across the hall, was loose and making excited dashes at the frightened child. She dropped her sketching materials and her ketching materials and snatched the boy up.
 Now, now" she soothed. "It's all right. I won't let the bad dog hurt you" She bent her head to examine one bare chubby leg. The dogs teeth had grazed it and long red scratch was swelling into a welt.
 When she looked up other apart ment doors along the corridor had opened and people were croWding into the hall, among them the own CT of the dog, and Dr. Holiday. The latter elbowed his way quickly to Enid and the boy.
 T don't think he's hurt much" ," Enid told him. "The dog was only playing"
 The doctor tried to take the child from Enid but he clung tightly with both arms around her neck. She could feel his small heart hammer ing against hers.
 The doctor laughed. T guess you'll have to carry him. Bring him into my apartment and we'll have look at his leg"
 Enid sat down in the doctors nv- ing room and held the child while his father swabbed some iodine on the scratch and bandaged it. The boy stopped crying to watch with pride the bandaging of his injury.
 The doctor slapped him man fashion on the back and stood him on the floor. There, now, Sonny Fixed up as good as if you'd been to the hospital. Men don't cry about things like that"
 The child laughed through his tears.
 Tt was mostly fright" the doc tor continued. turning to smile at Enid. My mothers to blame for his fear of dogs. She's deathly afraid of them herself, and nothing is more contagious than fear"
 Enid nodded soberly. She made an unconsciously pretty picture against the red velvet Of the daven- port in her blue slacks with the red silk scarf tied gypsy fashion over her head.

FORTUNATE RESCUE 7

Enid,s contempt for herself grew as she ate her solitary Sunday luncheon. The creamed chicken, and tiny golden biscuits, and iced dessert that she had prepared so carefully lost their taste in her mouth.
 Trying to force herself on the at- tention of married man, that was what her little plot had added up to. And that was pretty cheap, ac- cording to her standards. She shook herself. What she needed was something to do, something to ab- sorb her time and attention. Then she wouldn't be tempted into silly attempts to interest strange men.
 She stacked the dishes unwashed in the sink and tied a red silk ker- chief over her head. She doubted If she could get any art supplies on Sunday, since the stationery and book shops in the neighborhood would be closed. But getting out in the fresh air and sunshine would restore some measure of her dam aged self-respect.
 AHu SIle was 1uCky. At H 01uS store near the school she was able to purchase a sketch book and charcoal. Armed with these pre- requisites she set out for the nat ural ravine that edged the fashion able Surburb and that had been turned into a community park.
 Enid found a comfortable seat halfway up on one of the grassy banks of this hollow and, using her knees as an easel, she began to sketch the children at play in the ravine below her. She worked busily until the fading daylight forced her to quit.
 She glanced back over the sketches that she had made before she closed the book. They weren't half bad. Her fingers had sudden N acquired a new mastery. She Thrilled to fresh enthusiasm as 1E1e retraced her steps to the apart nient. Maybe she might even yet make something of her art. If only she hadn't already wasted a week

INCREASE IN PAY
VOTED SERVICES
Senate Military Affairs
Committee Recommends
Hikes For Officers, Men

WASHINGTON. March 13.-R-
A pay raise bill for hundreds of
thousands of men in the armed
services which would boost buck
privates' pay to $42 month from
the present $21 was recommended
today by the Senate military af-
fairs committe.
The decision was unanimous
among the IL senators represented
at the meeting, two of whom sent
their proxies.
If the bill is approved by Con-
gress, privates would get $42 a
month their first year, and upon
promotion to first class privates
would get $48.
Corporals would be boosted from
S64 to $66; sergeants from $40 to
S78; staff sergeants from $62 to
S96; technical sergeants, $94 to
STA and master sergeants, $136
to $139.
The only increases in base pay
for commissioned officers would
raise ensigns and second lieuten-
ants from 81, 500 to $1,000 a year.
Subsistence allowances for al
commissioned officers would be in
creased according to rank.
Senator Johnson .-Colo.), spon-
sor for the measure, estimated it
would increase annual pay expens-
es by about $268, 186, 900.
This will bring the Army up to
the advantageous pay scale offered
by the Navy he declared, adding
never before has been it SO nee
essary for men to be mechanics in
the Army, and not just be gun
bearers. 2

Sale Of Used Cars
With Retread Tires
Barred By Henderson

RALEIGH, Mar. 49, Up The
Office of Price administration has
refused to allow the sale of used
cars to which retreaded tires had
been affixed prior to Feb. IS, the
freezing date on retreads, Governor
Broughton said today.
The governor has been conducting
a personal battle on behalf of North
Carolina automobile dealers to Oh
tain permission for the sale of these
vehicles.
In a telegram sent to Broushton
by Frank Bane Of the OPA, Bane
said if the request were granted
there would be no way to identify
vehicles which were equipped with
retread tires prior to Feb. 19 against
those which were so equipped after
Feb. 19.
| Bane said the rubber situation is
so tight that it is extremely doubt
| full il there is enough even for
eligible classifications.
| The OPA reminded the governor
that there is no restriction on the
sale Of used cars if the vehicles are
4 equipped with used tires.
