Diane said: II think that would
be a good plan"
Leaving, Bill turned at the door.

ed her again. you've been a
darn good sport all these weeks,
sweetheart"
She stood in the window this
morning, and watched him go
down the street. I'm amazing,
thrifty. l ave your money and I
am a good sport! Oh, Bill, l want
to be more than that"
Later, shaking soap flakes into
the dishpan, watching them froth
and bubble, she thought: maybe
today is the beginning" Now,
knowing more about herself, about
Bill, knowing there were things
she did not know, about both her,
self and Bill. Her hands caught
and held to the edge Of the sink.
"But, it's like-like finding your
way in the dark"
Lois called her, in the middle OF
the morning. "Play today, Dir"
Diane began a flimsy excuse
which Lois interrupted. "Di, it
isn't what Vicky said the other
day, is it? 1 know that was raw,
but that's Vicky! Anyway, she
won't be out there. She's gone to
Muskoka for the weekend"
"It isn't Vicky. It's simply that
it's too hot!"

time I've heard you say that. We
could go into the pool before and
after! And if we want to get any

"Where's Danny? He'll play

Danny suggested the three Of
us play"
well, just count me out. Watch
your left wrist and you'll arrive"
"Di," walled Lois, "you sound
as if you never were coming out
again!"
Diane laughed that aside.
Don't be a dope" Hung up, when
Lois finally abandoned her plead
ing, with a little feeling that it
was only the beginning. Within a
few days, as soon as Thad came
back, she would have to tell them
she could not go on in their movie.
What shall we do this eve

had pronounced it a very good
dinner. Everything l like!"
Yes, everything he liked.
"What do you want to do?"
why not have someone i'll for
bridge? l might call Carl Mead
ows and ask him and his wife to
come over"
Eyes, call him"
They came. They were a quiet
couple, older than Bill and Diane
by ten years or more. With his
arm over Bills shoulders, Carl
said to Diane: you've reason to
be very proud of this young man

ALL-TIME HIGHWAY
TRAVEL RECORD SET

RALEIGH, Sept 8-(AP)-
Travel on North Cardinals
Highways during August was
greater than ever before in
their history.
James S. Burch, engineer of
Statistics and Planning for the
State Highway Commission,
reporter today that on an aver
age day in August some 58,858
vehicles passed the 20 electric
eye counting stations the Com
mission has placed at strategic
points in widely-scattered sec
tons of the State.
The August figure was five
per cent above that for July
and three per cent above the
previous record month, August
1916.
Burch said that traffic now is
at a rate approximately double
that of August 1914 when gaso-
]'ne and tires were strictly ra-
toned.
1T may be expected that

Duke Endowment Recon-.
mends Improvements
For Institution

City and county officials to-
day were considering a joint
session of the council and COM
missioners to act on a report of
the Duke Endowment which
points out ways and means of
improving the Community hos
pital.
Such a meeting probably will
be held within the next two
weeks, members of the two
groups indicated after a study
of the report has Heen placed
in the hands of City Manager
]. r. Benson, Commissioner Ad-
olson Hewlett and Acting Chair
man of the Hospital Board En-
ment Bellamy.
The report of the endowment
authorities, coming after a long
study of the hospitals opera
ton, recommended that all Ne
gro patients from New Hanover,
Bladen, Pender, Duplin, Samp-
son counties be cared for in the
Community hospital in Whining
ton and that other hospitals,
such as James Walker Memorial,
be closed to colored patients.
Taking of patients from coun-
tues other than New Hanover,
would depend upon the willing
ness of the authorities in those
localities to cooperate.
A complete overhauling of the
governing body of the hospital
and the appointment of an adj
ministrator or manager to super
wise all its affairs, also were
recommended.
In addition to the manager,
it likewise was suggested that a
medical board be set up. The
board would consist of three
members each from the board
of trustees of the hospital and
from the medical staff, together
with the manager or administra-
tor.

First actions were filed December

Anaconda smelter workers by attor-

Maury and A. G. ShOne. Butte.
Similar suits have been filed in al
most every state in the union against
the United States Steel company. the
Ford Motor company, and various other
large corporations engaged in inter
state commerce. 1t is estimated the
total sum will be in excess of four
billion dollars. The suits have been
filed as a result Of a decision Of the
United States Supreme Court, holding
that time spent on company property
was time worked within the meaning
Of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Time
at the beginning and ending of the
day, in most cases exceeding thirty
minutes, has not been paid for by
many employers.
The complaint alleges this is the
case with the Anaconda Copper Min,

such time be paid for at time and a
half for overtime work. and a penalty
for an additional. equal amount, also
attorneys fees for plaintiffs attorneys
and costs of suit.

The First Step
A first step toward such an under
standing. the AFL leader said, is a
pledge and commitment to respect and
safeguard the free enterprise of in
dustry and labor. Industry has now
been freed from government controls.
1t should be satisfied. 1t should not
seek the imposition of new govern
ment controls on labor, either by leg
islation or administrative order. That,
in the end. would mean government
control of business too.
The American way Of life is not
static. 1t must keep changing for the
better all the time. Organized labor
recognizes this truth, 1t is time indus
