Cathy gratefully.
There was the sound of foot

and suddenly Elaine was there,
crisply tailored, very smart in
what were obviously travelling
clothes, complete to the gay, inn
pertinent little hat tilted cockily
above one bright eye.
"Hi," she greeted them accus-
ingly. II don't much care for
this cozy little domestic scene,
Cathy, keep your hands off this
man--he's mine!"
Mark eyed her solemnly.

Elaine wrinkied her oert nose
at him.
"Phooey to shrinking violets,"

would shrink right into the

appear before you'd even notice
the darned thing. Nope, I was

Without waiting for any an

make, she turned eagerly to
Cathy.
'Has he told you the news,
Cathy? He's going to marry me-"
She beamed. "Isn't that marvel
GUS? l had to work like the dick
ems to land him, but it was worth
it. Isn't he gorgeous?"
Mark said sternly, Pipe down

Elaine only beamed at him
and patted his hand caressingly.
"1sn't he sweet? fully expect
him to beat me and perhaps
drag me about the place by my
hair"
"You have nice hair for the

Mrs. Kendall said shakily,

Cathy said unsteadily: "I'm

She was appalled, to realize
that if Bill had not been hurt,

Stock brokers in the New York
financial district glumly contrast the

Brokers who deal In wheat and

Two developments this week en-
phasize the deep cleavage existing
at present between the New York
and Chicago markets.
Emil Schram, president of the
New York Stock Exchange, went to
Philadelphia to discuss with the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
the possibility of raising security
brokers commission rates. Mr..
Schram had two good arguments:

Business is booming now. but the
investor or speculator is looking at
tomorrow and the next day. He
sees the possibility that runaway
prices might kill the mass markets
on which our. industrial machine
feeds; that dwindling exports might
result in lower output, lower en-
ployment, lower income; that our
international relations may de-
teriorate.
He adds up his findings and de-
cides-he'l stay out Of the stock
market-and instead, maybe, buy
or sell a contract of wheat in
Chicago or Minneapolis or Duluth

He declared that in depression and
in war the scope of authority of

Representative Halleck, himself a

people will have lost their capacity

The inevitable end result of the
centralization process is a gov
