The rent had to be paid the third
week of her idleness and so she had
TO take $50 from her precious fund.
and she had to take out money for
car fare and lunches, and for all
that Andrea protested, she insisted
on paying her half Of the food bill.
Then the fourth week, when
Washington was so busy getting its
alphabetical bureaus organized
without benefit of her stenographic
help, she heard there was a job as
a typist at the First National bank
and went there prepared to take
anything she could get.
At the bank she was told 10 wait
to see a Mr.. Simmons, so she sat
herself on a chair outside the rail
which divided the lobby from the
public privacy that is peculiar to
hank officials. Mr. Simmons was
talking to a tall gentleman In a
white linen SUIT and when he rose
to leave. Beth thought the banker
beckoned for her to come in.
She was little fustered and so
managed to bump squarely into the
man in the white suit.
Sorry" each murmured 10 the
other.
Then h, said. "Why, It's Miss
kinnan"
Mr.. Simmons said, please wait
outside, miss. I'll call you
when I'm ready"
Beth felt herself flush, like
charity case being told to wait its
turn, and when Dennis said, so we
share the same bank?" she said
Not yet. You probably own II. I'm
just here hoping to get a job"
You're secretary, aren't you?"
Dennis asked, leading her away
from the rail.
She nodded. Il was. Ny employ
er, Judge Mayfeld, died last
month. I've been hoping to
get something in Washington. I
was told they're badly in need OF
secretarial help there, but Il
guess have to wait for them To
get around to me"
Washington" Dennis snapped
his fingers. You mean ,ou want to
pull up STAKES and 90 there ?"
She nodded Il thought Id like
to get out and see something Of the
world besides Pennington, but
guess that was an idle :" She
cast an anxious look over her Shout
der at Mr.. Simmons, who was now
debating to a stenographer.
Then to her utter amazement,
Dennis was taking her hand and
leading her out of the bank.
Once outside he let her hand 20
and took her elbow. IF you still
want to go to Washington, young
lady, l believe I can do something
about it, If I can catch Henry Slads
at the Quinnipisc club"
Beth, experiencing a few OF the
thrills Of being on a merry-go-
round, asked. who Is Henry
Slade?"
Friend OF mine from Washing
ton. His secretary's got married.
and he's high and dry for help. In
terested ?"
"Oh, please!' she said. Lets
hurry. You don't know what n

CHAPTER TEN


HER BACK and her arms ached,
but Beth felt her spirits lighter
than they had been since Novem-
Der, and she sang as she slid the
freshly Numbered curtains over a
rod and climbed up on the tele-
phone table to hang them. Then she
got down again, rubbing her back,
and stood off to observe the effect
of the curtains.
They hung in points here and
there, but at least they were clean
and fresh, like the skirts of the
dressing table which she'd washed
the day before.
She dropped on the bed and cast
a housewifely eye over as much of
the apartment as she could see.
Everything was spotless. The floors
had fluffed. clean look, as well
they might. For one whole week,
Beth Kinnan, late secretary, had
turned herself into a slavey. Her
reasons had been two: by keeping
herself occupied and firing herself
out with manual labor, she was
able to keep her excitement under
control, and the other reason was
that Peg Woodruff was coming to
dinner.
Peg doomed large In Beth's plans.
Plans. incidentally, which she was
keeping entirely to herself.
She got herself collected from
The bed, bathed and dressed and
went into the kitchen to begin get
ting dinner.
Andrea came In az Beth was
basting a roasting chicken and took
an ecstatic sniff. Wow, BETH We
never had anything like this when
you were working. How much lon
ger does the vacation last?"
Beth practically hid her face In
the oven. II expect to be going to
work soon"
Andrea picked up a carrot to
nibble on. you haven't even start
ed looking for a job. See
you've done the bedroom curtains
Are we having mashed potatoes ?"
And broccoli" Beth said. as the
door bell rang. "Thatll be Peg"
"Oh. boy" Peg said, stretching
out on the sofa after their meal.
What a change this is from my
boarding house! You haven't got
room for one more here, have you ?"
Beth swallowed guilty. cast a
wary look in Andrea's direction,
and said, Suppose l couldn't get a
Job here. -. mean II l got a
job somewhere else. 1 mean.

ultimate consumer.
He maintained farmers were un-
justly penalized for the heavy cost
represented by the disproportionate

no future? Or will you greet him at the gate with a bundle of War
Savings Bonds for working capital, new machinery, better buildings?
And if your children are going to college, why not be sure they get
there by buying today the Bonds that will pay the cost.
No need, really to tell an uptodate farmer or rancher what he needs

News Of The Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council

In one of the longest session in months
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor Council
at its last meeting delved into the realm
of postwar planning, social security, in
fantile paralysis, joint political action
and other subjects. The council donated
SIS to<the Butte chapter OF the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. This
action was taken after Steve Harvey
had explained the financial status Of the
local chapter and the work that it was
doing. Mr.. Harvey said at the present
time there is a balance Of 81, 455.l8 in
the local treasury. He explained how
assistance had been rendered to a Butte
child whose parents had mortgaged
their home to get treatment after in
fantile paralysis had developed. The
case was brought to the attention Of the
local chapter which then assumed the
financial burden, according to Mr.. Har-
vey. The child in this case showed
much Improvement and is now able to
play with other children, although not
entirely cured.
He spoke of the seriousness Of the
spread of this dreadful disease through

conflicting opinions, it was generally as
sumed that labor should get whole
heartedly behind postwar planning.
The Council decided to oppose Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposal for a National
Service Act and Secretary Vawter was
instructed to so notify Montana's con-
gressional delegation.

dates as far back as 1907. He pointed
out, that while postwar planning may
help, not a great deal could be expected
under the capitalist system which pro
duces for profit and not for use. Gard
ner called attention to the ability of
the present economic system to produce
and its failure to distribute. Davis
mentioned about plans now now being

A meeting of officials of the War
Labor Board, business men, representa-
tiyes of labor organizations will be held
in Patriotic hall at the courthouse Friday
morning at 10 o'clock for the purpose
of discussing the wage rates to be paid
members Of various crafts in Silver Bow
county.
The unions are very much interested
in this meeting. Secretary Vawter read
"a list of minimum wage brackets that
had been submitted by the War Labor
Board and this oceasioned quite a bit OF
criticism because some Of them were
much lower than the rate prevailing at
the present time. The machinists blunt
" stated that the minimum bracked an
nounced by the War Labor Board is ten
cents lower than what they are now re
ceiving.
A communication from Senator Muir
ray discussed the motion picture prob
lem. He stated that due to selfishness
of film companies some Of the smaller
theaters were having difficulty. He told
the unions that OPA had promised to
make an investigation.
.
A communication from the Rocky
Mountain Sportsman association asking
the Trades Council to buy two member
ships in that organization was filed.
President John Crawford made a re-
port of the meeting held at the Butte
high school auditorium Monday, January
"a. which organized labor of Butte spon-
sored. The meeting was for the purpose
of informing the people of the need of
supporting the 4th War Bond Drive
Crawford paid a high compliment to the
army air base band which gave a con-
cert. Paul Fall of the Miners Union
was chairman of the meeting.
Under reports of delegates the subject
of postwar planning was introduced by
Paul Fall of the Miners Union. Mr..
Fall stated that he had attended a meet
ing in which, it was explained, Butte
had been chosen as one Of fifty-two
cities in the United States for a post
war planning survey. The survey, he
said. had been outlined by the Depart
ment of Commerce. A visit will be made
to 500 families in Butte. These families
will be asked what particular commodity
they intend buying after the war. For
instance. an automobile, refrigerator
furniture, etc. The government hopes
by this method to be able to gather a
comprehensive idea of what industry car
expect after the war. Names of fami-
lies visited will not be made known nor
will any names be asked by the COM
mfttee. The Trade Council voted to give
the plan its approval and instructed
Secretary Vawter to draft a letter Of
authorization to be used by the COM
mittee making the survey. The question
of this movement brought a general dis
