meant tearing through the coun-

her face and hair.
The front door downstairs
banged. Phil was home. Lefty
started guiltily to her feet and
headed for the stairs. Her hus-
nd liked his meal on the table
promptly. Enid followed more
ieisurely with little Ann. She
put her down in her play crib in
the living room and went to
help Lefty disi, up the supper.
They ate in the kitchen, a moi

Enid always came directly

week to have supper with them
and see the children. She was
fond of the noisy little scamps.

satisfied she found that her own

She picked up the paper where
Phil had left it.
The front page was filled with

CHAPTER I

Lefty, Toms asked me to
marry him."
Lefty Fields stopped trying tC
get the freshly Numbered, pink
Bingham dress over the head OF
the squirming baby on heI
knees, and looked anxiously al
her younger sister.
Are you going to-"
Enid Sharon kept her eyes on
little Ann. What an adorable
picture she was with her mop
of red-gold curls, her apple
blossom skin, and her rosy fat
little fists that were beating the
air in time to some unheard
symphony. Suddenly she lean
ed forward, lifted the half
dressed baby off her sisters lap,
and snuggled her against her
shoulder. The baby's cheek
against hers was softer than the
softest velvet.

Ends heart. She wanted this,
a baby-a baby of her own to
cuddle in her arms, a little
house to keep bright and shin
ing, man of her own, and a
womans age-old right of help
ing that man to make a home.
: She was so tired of the office,
of the dry routine of tipping let
tiers eight hours day, five and
half days a week. She had
been in that same office now for
six years. And she was on the
same job she had started with.
jThere was no chance for promo
;tion for girl in the complicated
set-up of a great industrial plant

Enid sighed perplexedly. She
wanted to get married. But
would Tom Driscoil give her the
&kind of marriage she dream
ed Of, or the kind of marriage
that Lefty had?
Lefty who was looking at

dr. when Pills wages were
only adequate for one. Lefty
who was always worried about
bills and the insecurity of Pills

her husband than Enid was as a
spinster. For Phil only came
home at night to take his shoes
off and prop his weary feet on
the coffee table while he read
and radioed and doZed.
Enid was thinking of this
when she finally answered Let
tvs question. 81 don't know,
Lefty l don't know whether I'll
marry him or not"
And then Lefty Unexpectedly
rallied to a defense of mar

woman to live alone and work

how you feel. You're the last
one at home and you think it's
up to you to stay there and help
now that Pop can't work any
more. But it isn't fair. You're
entitled to life of your own
the same as anyone"
Lefty paused for breath and
plunged on. GO ahead, Enid,
and marry Tom. There will be
some way for Pop and Nom to
manage. They own their home

careful how you use your sugar

than your rationed neighbor, or

issued war ration books.
No war ration books will be
issued to persons who registered
excess amounts Of sugar until q
sufficient number OF ration periods
have expired during which the
consumer-if he had ration stamps
might have purchased an
amount OF sugar equal to his ex-
cess.
The OPA also issued a warning
concerning lost War Ration books.
In the event book IN lost, a
person may make application to
his local rstoning board for a
new one but II cannot be issued
to him until two months after

Mallory Rules Councilmen May Pay
Raises But Not as Emergency
It's Now Up to City Ofhciols to Find
Some Legal Woy of Transferring Money

Tacoma city commissioners
were scratc hing their heads
Wednesday in an effort 20 find
ways and means Of complying
with a decision handed down late
Tuesday by Superior Judge Joseph
A. Mallery.
The court ruled In effect that
the council may pay city firemeen
and policemen on the basis OF a
$40 raise in salary provided they
can do It in some other way than
by an emergency appropriation.
They must keep their salary ex-
penditure within the 1912 budget.
Friendly Action
As explained In The Tacoma
Times Tuesday, the court case
brought by police officer John c.
Hickey was friendly one TO test
validity of an ordinance passed
by the city council last March.
The ordinance was designed TO
correct a mistake in the 1912
budget, which through inadvert-
enoe. failed to extend the $40 per
month salary boost to first and
second year patrolmen-six men
In each class.
BY the ordinance. the council
had declared an emergency to
justify the appropriation OF s1,45o,
but no payments were made out
of 1t by City CONTROLLER John NJ.
Roberts pending authority by
court decision.
How Mallery Ruled
Here. in part, In what Judge
Mallory ruled:
The ordinance Il hereby vail
dated for the purposes therein set
out. insofar as the council has
power TO correct the said mistake.
1T In held. however, that the
council has power only to correct
the mistake within the limits of
the 1912 budget appropriation. II
cannot declare a mere mistake. as
such, to be an emergency, and
thereupon make an emergency sp-
preparation in excess of the 1912
budget
Answer Is No
rs q raise OF wages something
that could not have been foreseen
The answer is no. Is a raise Of
wages necessary for the immedi-
ate preservation of order7 The
answer In no. How then can a
raise in wages be such an emer-
geney As is provided for by law >"
II Is now up to the council 10
find the answer. Corporation
Counsel Howard Carothers said
Wednesday that while the emer-
geney appropriation Of sl.45o can
not be used to pay the men. II may
be possible by some transfer Of
funds to legally pay the men
