Morgenihau Warns
u. 5. 10 Guard Against
Postwar Initiation
Accumulated Demond for
Goods Will Stort Spiral,
Treasury Chief Feors
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary OF the Treasury Nor
genthau said today the Nation must
be on guard against postwar infa-
ton because of "a strong proba bility"
of a rapid industrial revival after
the war.
A backlog of postwar purchasing
power and accumulated demands
for consumer goods and services, he
said, will speed the conversion OF
war industries to peace time produc-
ton and the development of new in
dustries.
What this involves for the
American people is fairly clear"
Mr. Morgenthau said in a state
ment. 1T means that We must re-
orient our wartime ways of doing
things, our wartime ways of buying
and living, not all at once but grad
ually; 1t means we must be on our
guard against postwar imitation in
the same way that today we are on
guard against wartime imitation.
An incorporate buying spree i'm
mediately upon termination of thu
war might have the same effect as
that at the close of the last war
when the cost of living spiraled up
ward % per cent between Novem-
ber. 1918. and June, 1920 We must
not permit war wearyness and the
desire to return to normally rob
us of the very fruits of victory"
Secretary Morgenthau estimated
that by the end of 1914 the national
| debt will amount to about S2l0.000,-
| 100000 and will involve interest
payments of $4,000. 5000 a year.
Servicing such debt. he said.
will require that "a reasonably full
employment with high national
income be preserved in the postwar
period"

CHUNGKING, March 22.-Allied
submarines inflicted great losses on
japanese shipping on the sea lanes
between Shanghai and Nagasaki,
Chinese dispatches said today. The

the Nagasaki Maru of 5,268 reg
iStered tons, the Yokohama Maru of

The reports said that, with ship
ping between NagaSaki and Shang-
hal so seriously endangered, the

route between Japan and China by
way of Korea which entailed only
short, comparatively safe sea jour-
ney, although it neceSsitated long

He went on. I'm afraid the
only progress I've made is rather
personal I've just persuaded your

go fishing with me tomorrow
morning.
"Oh - report" I laughed and got
my breath back. "On the con-
trary I've just come to ask you
to forget all about my request of
last night. You see, I was being
a very silly old woman. I knew
my daughter-in-law had seen the
murdered man - talked to him, I
mean - and I was afraid if the DO
lice found that out it would look
bad for her"
Trying to look as innocent as
a baby I prattled on: But, as
you know, it was proved that she
had no connection with the mans
death, and so D." I shrugged
eloquently.
Madison looked at me rather
4ulHLCdlly.
I rose to my feet. We'll. that's
ALL"
His quizzical look resolved into
words. You mean, you don't
want to know who killed Derek
Grady?"
Il didn't say anything of the
kind. I'm simply not concerned
any more 1 said tartly. I moved
toward the door. He followed me.
His words had riled me. You

granddaughter is engaged" I added
hastily.

him something to worry about. But
ne might wonder why she wore no
ring. He might even ask her about
it.
Kathy came running out the
study door as I reached the ter
race. She reached out her hands

! to me as she had when she was
a child and needed help.
Gram, where have you been?"
A question she was to ask me
later in a far more tragic moment
"Margaret's having Mysteries. It's
terrible"
Mysteries aren't a pretty sight
even when neurotic woman has
them, but seeing Margaret, who
had been one of the staid and firm
bulWarks of our lives, go to pieces
was as devastating as being caught
in an earthquake.
I sent Kathy to phone for a doc
tor and hurried into the bathroom
to wet some towels in cold water.
I laid them on Margaret's head.
1t seemed a long time before the
doctor came. He gave her a hypo-
dermic. She relaxed slowly and
her sobs became moaning.
She'll go to sleep now" the
doctor said looking down at her.
IF she wakes and shows any signs
of returning hysteria, give her
couple of these. Repeat every two
hours if necessary"
He had opened his medicine case
while he spoke. He took out a bot
tie of white pills, poured ten or
twelve of them into his palm, put
them into a small envelope and
handed it to me. I put it on the
night table beside Margaret's bed.
Margaret did go to sleep and
was still asleep at bedtime when
I slipped into her room to see if
she was all right. I stood for
moment looking at her. Even in
sleep her face was sorroWful, and
she seemed to have grown timer
these last few days. She made
pathetically small hump beneath
the quilt
I went to bed and to sleep in
spite of my harried thoughts. But
not soundly. Time after time my
subconscious fears broke through
in frightening dreams and woke
me up.
That was how I happened to
hear Margaret.

HYSTERIA
CHAPTER XIV

I thought all this out as I went
onward along the path. Mattison S
cottage looked very peaceful and
;ozy.
1 knocked couple of times and
when Mattison didn't come, I
opened the unattached screen door,
crossed the porch and called into
the living room Mr. Mattison-
Mr.. Madison"
He didn't answer. But surely he
wasn't far away or he wouldn't
have left the radio playing. 1 went
In and sat down to wait for him.
The cottage fireplace is fash
Toned out of rough field stone. 1t
Is rugged and picturesque and a
/ couple of inches are built in each
side to contain bric-a- brac. 1t an
noyed me to see that the inches
we're bare; a woman would have
filled them with books or gay pot
terry. Harriet had. And that re-
minded me thta the fiat stone in
the bottom of one of the inches
was loose There was a small cav
ity underneath it. We had had
joking habit of leaving notes there
for Walter and Harriet in the old
days.
That came back to me now
like a flash of sheer inspiration.
and the next moment l was look
ing cautiously around to see if
Clint Mattison was yet in sight.
! heard his footsteps on the porch
and then his form doomed black in
the doorway.
Il hope you don't mind my max
Ing myself at home" I said. 81
wanted to see you so I just came
In and waited"
"Of course not" he said heartily.
He crossed the room with long
strides, took his pipe out of his
mouth, laid it on the mantel and
sat down in the chair across the
hearth from me. He didn't glance
once at the niche in the stone
nantel wall where I had Just hid
den Derek's wallet. The money
and Kathy's ring were still in it.
