TARBoE THE TERRIBLE

thought of that"
Mickey was staring down at the
fragments of the Sewes.
Hoopy's eyes followed her twisting
fingers. "Apd I'm really sorry about
that vase, sir. Perhaps I can replace"
There are some things that can
never be replaced, Mr.. Tarboe in
formed him heavily. my late wife
gave me that vase. 1t cost thou
sand dollars. Mrs. Tarboe was an
authority on art. Before we were
married she was employed by one of
the country's big galleries. She got
me interested in antiques. She
picked out my best pieces
MICKEY stared down at him, her
widely-spaced dark eyes swiftly
tender. "You loved mother, didn't
you, darling - for all your roaring?
And she loved you, in spite of the
way you stiff-armed the budget and
the balance sheet into our home life.
Not that you were ever mean about
money. That was what used to exas-
perate Mother until"
"Your mother was one of the fin
est women that ever lvedr MIR.
Tarboe said, and covered the unex-
pected softness of his utterance with
loud and unconvincing cough.
But she was artistic - impractical.
You know she was. Always wanting
to start a musical settlement or en-
dow some new kind of cockeyed
scheme. Organized charity was too
cold and mechanical for her. She
always wanted to be Lady Boun-
tiful."

stoutly.

Her eyes slanted across the desk
again.
$50 does dear Mr.. Tarboe." She
smiled. That's why l love him SO.
For all his bluster, his heart is big
and red and round and tender"
Mr.. Tarboe sat back and slapped
the arms of his chair with restless
fingers which played at being impa-
tient.

tered uneasily. "And you can't get

solemnly at Mr.. Tarboe. II can

vhy it can never be replaced.
In the brief little moment of
velvet silence which followed, it
seemed to Hoopy that his halting
words of explanation had suddenly
parted a curtain which had been
closed for years. He saw Big Busi-
ness stripped of its dictaphones, its
secretaries, its push buttons and its
balance sheets.
He saw a big man who, under
meath all the opulence of his sur
roundings, was really appealingly
human and friendly and lonely.
Hoopy took an impulsive step
forward, free hand out-thrust.

tween them.

you're not a member of my family
yet"
But this time neither the fury of
sound nor the terrific writhing of the
caterpillar eyebrows seemed to both
er his prospective son-in-law. Hoopy
grinned understandingly.
The grin seemed to embarrass
Tarboe the Terrible. you seem to
forget that you're still complete
stranger to me" he fumed. Mickey
thinks she loves you. But what does
she know about you? Really? About
what goes on deep down inside you?
Eh? Answer me that, you young
whippersnapper"
You can't make up a balance
sheet of things like that!' Mickey
asserted stoutly. you're not being
fair"
dooPY pressed her tighter. Il un-
derstand what your father MEANS"
he said tenderly. Then his eyes went
back across the desk.
Il love your daughter. Mr.. Tar
Doe. I'll do everything l can pos
sibly do to make her happy. I'm
sorry that right off the bat can't
think of any way for me to help you
see the sort of person l really am"
His cowlick twitched and he smiled
engagingly.
Il mean the way my breaking
your vase helped a stranger like me
to realize what an exceptionally
swell person his prospective father
in-law really is"

WASHINGTON, June : Mr..
W RooSevelt'S choice OF his

a sensation for one edition.
Then all, including Congress,
settled back. hopeful, yet skep-

would work out.
The reorganization plan, like
all reorganiZationS the past few
years. was the work of the Pres
ident'S,earneSt soft shoe counsel,
Judge Samuel RoSenman of New
York.
The only new face IL brought
into the picture was that of Fred
VinSon. who was a rising mid
road New Deal congressman
some years ago. before he de-
cided TO seek security by getting
life job on the District of
Columbia court of appeals.
WHAT caused him 10 leave

standards In period of total
war" the president said "On the
contrary, we must all cut our
standards of living for the du-
ration"
FAVORABLE POSITION
Mr.. Roosevelt said farmers al
ready enjoy relatively favorable
position" in the nations war time
economic structure and said he
did not believe that the American
farmer wants initiation.
Pointing out that the war labor
board has said that a break in its
Little Steel formula for wage
sta Utilization now will start an in
evitable inflationary spiral" Mr..
Roosevelt said:
1T will become impossible to
hold this line If the cost of living
is still further Increased from
imperative war needs. but by the
action OF the congress in depart
ing from its declared policy to
stabilize all prices and wages"
IT'S A DEPARTURE
He said the Bankhead bill de-
parts from the only practical basis
on which any sound stabilization
program can proceed-"faithful ad-
herence 10 the present balanced
relationships between wages and
prices" The only purpose of the
Bankhead bill was to take from
the government the power to pre-
vent very substantial increases in
food prices" he added.
He predicted the measure would
deprive the government OF the
power to prevent price rises which
might increase the cost of living
by more than five per cent, and
add more than 500, 100000 to the
nations food budget.
The Banllhead measure Is one
of the most difficult domestic
problems Mr. Roosevelt has been
called upon to face-the tug OF
war between prices and wages.

MORE OLYMPIC
PENINSULA POWER

Tacoma's Lake Cushman power
system in the Olympic Mountain
foothills is now two-thirds COM
plete. The two dams and two
powerhouses are installed, with q
80 900 kilowatt installation at No.
l, powerhouse on Lake Cushman
and $4,000 kilowatts installed on
Hood Canal, the most slightly
power location in Western Wash
ington.
BY diverting the flow of the
South Fork of Skokomish river
into Lake Cushman, the upper
powerhouse could be raised up to
about 1000 load factor full power
70e6 of the hours in any one year,
and the Hoodsport powerhouse
could have its third turbine and
generator installed, raising this to
about $4,000 kilowatts capacity.
This is perhaps the most logical
next step in that area, and after
that, running the Cushman trans
mission line a short Is miles over
TO Wynooche river. at the Oxbow
site, another power plant the size
of Cushman No. /. about $4,000
kilowatts, could easily be devel-
oped
If the demand for power arose
and arose, other sites in the olym-
pic range could be tied into the
Cushman development in future.
Totalling it all up, Tacoma has
three distinct groupings of poten-
tial waterpower, in the Nisqually-
Puyallup-Carbon basins; on the
Cowlitz and in the Olympic range,
representing more than 100000
kilowatts of power.

WHO KNOWS ACTUAL

Tacoma has fallen into that
error of looking only to the pres

BECAUSE NOBODY PROFITS
BY LOOKING AHEAD - except
that heads sometimes start fall

capacity and the critics start yell
ing for a change.

federal power. Who knows what
