CHAPTER "TWENTY-FOUR

Chaplin IW Y-fOUR
Val C~arrington's b e j room,
which was connected with that OF
her husband by a lavish bath, was
q large, beautifully furnished
room, luxurious almost to the
point of being sybaritic. The color
scheme, was peach and ivory, with
effective touches OF bright blue.
The decor was modern. An ivory
shag rug covered the floor, the
windows were hung with diagonal
ly striped blue and peach satin.
The bed was low and wide, with
n tufted peach-colored headboard,
a blue satin spread and a nest
of ivory silk-and-lace pillows.
1t was a bed fit for a queen.
And in it Val lay like a queen,
her pale hair spreading across the
little pillows, her eyes closed, 90
that the incredible black length OF
her lashes touched her cheeks,
soft as a caress.
But Val wasn't sleeping. She
simply did not feel like making
the effort of opening her eyes. She
didn't quite have a hang-ovar-not
quite. But she felt lousy. Her head
ached and her mouth tasted dry
and unpleasant. And, as she lay
there, hiding from wakefulness as
long as possible, the memory OF
the quarrel she and Wade had had
the night before struck at her. The
quarrel that had terminated with
Wade saying brutally, ooh, go to
bed. You're not yourself. But We'll
have to talk in the morning-we've
got to get things Strengthened
out"
So now it was morning. Val
thought, and no wonder she didn't
want to wake up. Maybe, though.
she'd slept late enough so that
Wade would have left tor the Of

Wade's working hours were elias
tic, often he didn't go down to
La Sale Street at all. And he'd
been up just as late last night as
she, he'd be jus as tired. Even
more so, Val reflected with a
touch of malice. Look now much
older he. was.
She buried her smooth cheek
more deeply in the silken smooth
ness of the pillows. Oh, blast it!
Why did they quarrel so much:
She hated quarreling. Sometimes
she almost hated Wade. She would
hate him if he kept On being 50

Reece Says White House
Is Chief Republican Goal
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-B. Carroll
Reece, Republican National chair
man, asserted tonight that Republi-
can victories last November would
be "nullif1ed" unless the party wins
'the battle for the presidency In
1948."
Mr.. Reece, speaking at meeting
of Cook County (Chicago) party
precinct workers, said, 1--WE must
realize that the campaign of 1916
was only the first major battle in
the war to restore and preserve the
American system.
I'VE won great victory but to-
day we have control of only one OF
three major branches of the Fed
eral Government. The opposition
still has the executive branch-and

stitute an overwhelming majority of
the judicial branch"

Federation Fayors
Retention Of Present
Liquor Sales Hours

The Federation OF Citizens As
sociations last night asked the Dis
trict Commissioner to retain the
present 10 am. to 10 pm. store
hours for liquor dealers.
The Federation had been re-
Quested by the Commissioners to
state its stand on the question. BY
a unanimous vote it adopted res
olution presented by its secretary.
David Babp, which declared 1t was
in the public interest" to continue
present liquor store hours.
Before the war, the hours for
liquor sale were from 8 am. to mid
night. The Commissioners recently
announced their intention to revert
sale hours to the prewar schedule,
but then withdrew the order "for
further study" and asked the Fed
Grafton for its advice.
Ice Cream Sale Attacked.
In another resolution, the fed
Grafton asked that ice cream be sold
here by weight rather than the
present volume system.
Benjamin Striner, delegate from
the District Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation, who presented the resolu-
ton, said that the public is not
getting square deal under the
present ice cream selling method.
The federation also approved a
resolution asking that members OF
the Board of Zoning Adjustment be
required to be residents of the Dis
trict for at least three years pre-
'ceding appointment to the board
and that they remain bona fide resi-
dents of the District during their
terms of Office.
The federation took no immediate
action on a request made by Robert
G.. Wilson, president of the board
of directors of the Washington Ur-
ban League, that it review its re-
cent report on racial segregation in
the District.
Referred to Committee.
The request was referred by the
federation to its Public Welfare
Committee. The federation at its
last meeting went on record as
condemning the recent report OF the
Council of Social Agency's racial re-
lations committee which had recon-
mended the end of racial segraga-
ton in the District.
Mr.. Wilson asked that the fedora
tons group review some OF the data
in the councils report with the men
who made the study. He also asked
that any disagreement be referred
to an impartial committee of news
paper men or other qualified parties.
In addition, Mr.. Wilson suggested
that the federation join with the
councils group in working out a
plan to end any discrimination ex-
listing in the District.
Last nights meeting was held in
the District building. Clifford H.
Newell, president, presided.

expenditure for libraris, such as

ed here, has been 80 cents per
pupil during the last five years.
For several years, Roland pointed
out, New Hanover county has been
spending more than SIG, 900 for in
structional supplies.
That is to say that supplies
placed in the classrooms means
$l.4O annually for every student.
Such materials are kept at a CEN
trail location and sent to the vari-
Gus schools as the principals FIND
such supplies running low.
Book supplies include encyclo-
pedias, dictionaries, aliases and
other standard reference material
placed in every classroom on a
permanent basis. Very little limi-
tation is placed on the purchase
OF books as long as they are select
