Zita Begins Life Over


Once, looking up one rare evening
at home, from the book he was pre-
tending to read, he shot a sudden
question at his wife.
My God" he broke out, what
would happen II fell in love with
you?"
Zita's heart seemed to leap into her
throat, but she answered composedly
after only few seconds delay.
TT would be what usually happens
to married couples, I suppose" she
said. and deliberately returned her
gaze to her book.
Radford was too excited to take in
the full implication Of her words He
was thinking solely of his own prob
lem
But I agreed to release you," he
| brought out.
Before she could answer he threw
! down his book, and left the room and
the house.
THE darling idiot" Zita told her
mother. He thinks he conceals his
feelings, and he reveals them to the
whole world"
Madame Won Grmpert smiled drily.
And you reveal yours exactly as
much" she said calmly.
"He will never admit that he loves
me" Zita said with deep depression.
HE thinks it is an affair of honor to
live up to his bargain. And he Is so
| full of his own emotions that he does
not even suspect mine"
Then you are pair of idiots" Ma
dame Won Gumpert said more i'm
| patiently than she had ever before
spoken to her daughter. ME, I am
| tired Of it. II you do not tell him
| that you love him. I will tell him
He has always been desperately
lonely man."
IT will try" Zita spoke almost in
the voice Of her childhood II will
see If can bring him to the point"
Zita's mother nodded and said no
more. For three months at least she
had watched these married lovers dis
semble their love. She was out of pa
tience.
Madame Won Gumpert waited till
Christmas eve. Nothing happened She
had come to pass Christmas with the
couple and she regretted that she had
done so. Young imbeciles and idiots
running their lives through pride on
one hand and false standard on the
other. Both incidentally working them
selves to death. Both thin and hollow
eyed.
Il will endure this foolishness nc
longer" she told herself on Christmas
eve when she had sat busy with hel
knitting in the living room while heI
daughter, as always, studied. On zita's
face was the look of cold philosophy
that was becoming its habitual ex-

preston. She was beginning to lose
hope that Radford would ever admit
his love for her. Together at IL
O'Clock they heard his latch key. heard
him enter the front door and cross
to his own room. Madame Won Gum
pert rose.
Il am going to bed" she said YEARLY.
Come with me for a few moments.
Zita. have a gift for you"
She slipped her arm around her
daughter, crossed to the girls bedroom,
but stopped suddenly at Radford's
door. Then, without knocking and with
surprising strength. she threw the door
open and thrust Zita across her hus-
bands threshold with a force that
whirled the girl into the center Of the
room. Standing at the door with the
knob held lightly in her hand, the
mother-in-law delivered her message
Il am giving both you young idiots
Christmas gift" she said. 1T is the
knowledge that you love each other
and are too silly to admit 1t. Talk it
over"
The door closed behind her and they
heard the key ostentatiously turn in
the lock on the other side. They did
not hear her unlock it noiselessly and
almost Immediately There were limits
even to her audacity. But she heard
their voices in a steady flow of words
as she slipped away.
Ten minutes later they came to her,
as she still sat knitting in the living
room One glance at their radiant faces
told her that all was well.
IF he hadn't been so modest"
Zita began with a shining look at
her husband.
IF had dared to dream she cared
Radford interrupted. Neither could
finish. Madame Won Gumpert rose,
kissed them both and gathered up the
knitting she had dropped on the table
at their entrance.
"A merry Christmas" she said
casually. THE bells are just ringing.

Firms With 3 or Less
On Payroll Exempted
From Wage Limits
Free to Adjust Pay
Without Permission,
War Labor Board Says

Employers with not more than
eight persons on their payroll were
declared exempt from the Presidents
wage stabilization order, in a ruling
issued by the War Labor Board late
yesterday.
Employers in this class will be free
under the ruling to make wage ad-
justments without permission Of the
WLB.
Small retail and service establish
ments, such as barber shops, grocery
stores, filling stations, tailor shops,
jewelry, drug and radio stores and
parking lots>are typical of the cate
CORY of establishments exempted.
The action, taken under the Sec
ton of the executive order permit
ting exemptions from sterilization
controls in the case of small wage
adjustments where such exemptions
are considered necessary for effec-
tive administration of the order, was
designed to tighten tremendously its
administrative burden" the WLB
said.
The WLB, meanwhile, yesterday
denied general wage increase to
300 employees of the Sterling Engine
Co. OF Buffalo, N. Y.
The United Automobile Workers,
C1O, had asked for increases ranging
from 7 to 80 cents an hour.
An opinion by DR.. Frank P. Gra-
ham, public member of the board,
said:
"By a unanimous vote, the board
approved the recommendations of
the referee, denying a general wage
increase in this case. =" The report
of the referee, Mark De Wolfe Howe,
dated September IS, found that the
company had made voluntary gen.
eral wage increases which were
found to be equitable on an overall
basis. No increase is necessary in
this case to correct Embellishments
or inequalities, to eliminate sub
standards of living, to correct gross
inequities, or to aid in the effective
prosecution of the war"

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 10.-Cable
by cable and strand by strand, the
steel remnants of Tacoma's great
e6, 400 600 Narrows Bridge are going
into the national scrap pile.
Under contract, 100000 is being
spent to complete the wrecking job
which high wind started two years
ago, but the State of Washington,
which owns the bridge, hopes to
realize $500,000 from the enterprise.
That's the amount State engineers
estimate will be returned at current
market prices, by sale of the spans
5000 tons Of cable and $500 tons Of
reinforcing steel.
Wmkmen already are engaged in
Balvaging the massive strands from
which the roadway was suspended
and soon will start unriveting and
dismantling the reinforced concrete
towers.
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge,
crossing Puget Sound few miles
west Of this city, was the worlds
third longest suspension span, its
2,800-foot sweep from tower being
exceeded only by the Golden Gate
Bridge at San Francisco and the
George Washington Bridge across
the Hudson River at New York City.
A majestic structure opened in
July, 1910, it's history was tragically
brief. 1t shook apart the following
November.
First swaying like a huge ham,
mock in the autumn wind, the bridge
soon developed vibration of its own
through some aerodynamic eccen-
tricity, and this was amplified auto
matically until steel cords no longer
could stand the strain.
In time the bridge is to be re-
placed, but not until war ends and
materials again are available.

Why, for example, should they be
