she thought, "see them all neatly

The light turned red. They stood
waiting to cross the street Tell
me, Kay said, you told me a while
ago that you always tried to be

justifable?"
Goodness, what a question of
ethics for me to have to answer on
such a lovely spring afternoon. l
really don't know. Possibly. The
ends justify the means and so on.
But let's skip morality and settle
for an ice cream soda"
That evening Jake and Kay had
their weekly night out together.
Kay got in from work just before
Jake did. She had a shower and lay
down on her bed in a negligee. She
fell into q light doze, and Jake's
Good evening, Anna" woke her
up. He always greeted Anna as
though she were the one person in
the world whom he particularly
wanted TO see. She grumbled at him
occasionally, but she adored him.

"Yes, she was early tonight.

How do you think she seems
now. She swears she's fine, but she
looks so tired and thin" He sound
ed worried.
Il don't think she's ever been
really strong since that sickness OF
hers. She never let's on. But / can
tell"
Kay got up. went into the living
room. Anna, launched on the SUBJ
ject OF Kay's health, could be pretty
dull.
Hello. darling" she greeted
Jake.
Hello yourself" He walked over
and kissed her. He's the one who
looks thin and tired" she thought.
He lit them both cigarets, sat down
in an armchair and pulled her down
on his lap. They smoked quietly for
a minute or two. Then he said,
Where shall we go tonight? All
the regular places seem too stuffy
for night like this"
Kay sat upright. Take me out
in Jenny. I've never seen that cele-
brated member Of the family"
"You in that old bus! That would
be sight" He was amused. "Espe-
cially II you wear one OF those
crazy hats and your new furs. I'd
probably be arrested for kidnap-
ping"
Don't be silly. ! won't wear
town clothes. And we'll 60 out to
the country. We could go see the
Blakes. They're out in Greenwich
now. aren't they? They usually 60

Kay vas curious TO see what
Jake's reaction would be to that
suggestion. She didn't know how
much he was seeing Of that crowd,
and there was some question in her
mind that Sylvia Blake might have
been the female on the telephone.

US. Ratio of
Fore:gn-Born Big

NEW YORK-UP-One out of
every 10 white residents OF the
United States was born abroad
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co reports, but the ratio OF the
foreignborn has fallen sharply
since large scale immigration into
the United States ended some 80
years ago. II the present restric-
tions on immigration are contin-
ued after the war the numerical
importance of the foreign born will
decline almost TO the vanishing
point within the next generation
or two.
At the last census in 1910, the
foreign born element in the U. s.
population had fallen from its
peak OF 100000 in 1880 10 be-
low 11,500,000. Unreplenished by
newcomers. their number will de-
crease to 100000 in 1860 and to
barely 100000 in 1880, when they
would constitute only about Is
per cent of the total white popu-
lation.
This development would be par
alleied by rapid aging process of
the foreign born population which
at all times had higher average
age than the native born.

CHAPTER TWENTY.oNE

CHAP Eh w Elm -O4NE
KAY COULD hardly believe that
she had heard a strange female
making a date with Jake over the
telephone. And yet she knew 1t
shouldn't have been a shock. Since
Jake wasn't working, he obviously
was diverting himself some way.
The fact that 1t hadn't occurred to
her that his diversions were female
showed how blind she had been.
In a way it didn't worry her
much. Not that the idea appealed
to her, far from 1t. But she did feel
fairly certain that anything he did
was still purely something to fill
in time, to shorten the days, to
make him less conscious of his
Smpty hours and her busy ones. But
It was obviously essential to take
hirect action quickly, so that his
days would be as busy as hers.
The events of the last few weeks
fitted together like a jigsaw puz-
zle. The parts had been confusing.
The completed picture was simple.
Now that her mind was made up
she felt relieved. She wondered why
she had found the solving of this
puzzle so difficult, why she had
hesitated.
The first step in her campaign
was a trip to the doctor. Best
thing in the world for you" he said.
Just what you need. Fresh air,
exercise, physical exertion. I'd like
TO see you gain few pounds first.
Rest up bit. But, otherwise, I'm
for it."
The next person she talked 10
was Het. They lunched together,
and over coffee and cigarets Kay
launched her idea.
I've a plan in mind" she said,
"and it will either be the maddest
thing I've ever done or the wisest.
Before you hear ii, make me one
promise" Kay was in dead earnest
"Of course" Het was beginning
TO look worried.
II want you to promise to tell me
honestly what you think about the
whole thing"
I'm always honest, or at least ]
try nard to be-
Yes, l know you ares It's Just
that this is so important. And your
reaction means more to me than
anyone else" She thoughtfully put
out a cigaret she had only just
lighted.
I'm going to leave McClure's.
"Just like that?"
Just like that"
And them"
Then Jake and I are going "a
move TO the country, buy a small
house, live on his income, and he is
going to work"
DO you know what Jake's in
come is ,"
About $500 a year"
by work. l presume you mean
the piano"
Naturally. l haven't lost my
Ienses enough to think that Jake
might do anything else" Kay SAID
With a quick smile. Il have no de.
lusions about Jake's raising chick.

Wage Farmers Warned to
Look For Post War Crash

that these private manufacturers
would need 10 shut down and throw
their employees out OF work. Hence.
the cure" would be worse than
the disease. The politicians would
only be "robbing Peter to pay
Paul.. For every vote they might
get from the war workers, they
would lose two votes from peace,
time workers and returning sol
diers.
In the above calculations | have
said nothing about these ten mil
lion soldiers who will be returning
home. They will have 60 days
to return to their old jobs: but they
have been given no promise about
wages. This, is snother reason
why the present employers paying
higher wages for war workers will
be compelled TO let these war work
ers go after peace is declared. The
only way most employers can take
back former employees. who were
drafted into the service. will be by
discharging those who have stayed
home cashing in at high wages.
while their brothers suffered hell
in the South Sea Islands for fifty
dollars per month
Higher Wages Now san More
Grief Lats
repeat that all war workers are
now living in a FOOLS paradise. No
labor leaders nor politicians can
prevent a terrible crash in the
labor market after World War II.
Furthermore, the higher John L.
Lewis and the railroad unions push
up wages now. the greater the
fall will be and the more grief after
peace comes. VIII the United
States, after peace comes, use any
more coal than was used in 1889?
No! Miners must again then go
back to three days week.
Will the railroads, after peace
comes, haul any more people or
freight than they did in 1889? No
not so much! Hence, after World
War II great unemployment will
exist among coal and railroad work
ers.
believe In labor unions the same
as / believe In corporations. To
have workable unions, they also
must have well-pald officials the
same as do successful corpora
tions. My message this week is
simply this:
Union labor officials are as
blind to present wage conditions
today as we're the corporation Of
ficisls blind to business conditions
in 1929.
Labor leaders are leading their
union members for a terrible fall
and disappointment the same as
the corporation officials led their
stockholders to disaster in 1929.

Babson Park. Mass. April 23-In
1929 when stocks we're selling eight
times present prices l told investors
that these prices could not pos
sibly hold up and that a price col
lapse was ahead. Il surely came
with h bang. In few months
prices dropped 50 per cnt and in
two years all the banks we're closed
with ten million unemployed.
Wage Markets Like Stock Markets
Today the situation is exactly re-
yersed. 10 is true that the stock
market has gone up a little since
, 1882. The averages, which then
stood at 81. now are about so;
but this is far from the high OF
PCS In 1929. II. however, the news
papers would publish the wage aver
ages, the same as they publish the
stock averages. what would they
show? I'll tell you they should
scare every munition worker stiff.
Hence, now | want to talk to
members of the AFofL and the CLIO
the same as | talked to investors in
1929. You munitiOn workers are
today just where your employers
were in 1929. You are headed for
just as much Of licking as they
got.
Millions VIII Be Unemployed
When War Stops
Twenty million people are now
engaged in war work. Some day
this war will suddenly stop. AID.
miral Halsey Is reported TO have
said It will end this year; but
don't believe it will end until after
elections in November. 1914. When.
ever It does end there will be an
awful crash in the union labor mar
ket, the same as there was in the
stock market in 1929. Millions of
workers will quickly be thrown out
OF work. Those getting the highest
wages will be dropped first. There
will then be a job panic and a
job depression and all kinds OF
job troubles. Moreover, this labor
panic could take place with In
creasing commodity prices, great
er real estate activity and even
higher stock prices.
Politicians may say this will not
happen. They may say that the
government will give employment
II private companies will not do
so. Perhaps this will be tried:
but II so, the government will not
pay the wages-no, nor half the
wages-that war workers are now
getting. No government could con-
tinue in office which paid any spe-
cial group of ex-war workers more
than letter-carriers, policemen and
other government employees get.
This averages S35 per week for
men and S25 per week for women.
Beware OF Political Promises
Then think of this: II the gov
eminent takes over factories 70
make shoes, or textiles or motor
cars so as to give ex-war workers
Jobs, how is the government going
10 sell the shoes. clothing, textiles
or autos? There is only one way
and that is by cutting prices be-
low what regular manufacturers
are charging. This would mean
