Miss Cooper bothered oftenest to look
pretty, would have the DEVILS own time

He wouldn't be fred of course. Miss
Cooper, for all her importance, couldn't
manage that. But she could make his life
a torment in thousand ways and she could
and would fire Harriet Harriet moaned
softly 1t would ruin ererything
Miss Cooper gave little cough. 1t was
familiar sound to every nurse in the hospi-
tai. 1t meant she was clearing her throat
tor a passage of words that would issue
forth like water from fire hose. Harriet
shut her eyes and prayed
But DR.. Tmsley's voice cut across the
beginning of the deluge. Take these, Miss
Warner he said, "and run along"
HARRIET opened her eyes to find him
thrusting an armload of towels at her as if
they, the towels, had been the sole object
OF their tryst in the linen closet. His face
was expressionless. but when he turned from
her to Miss Cooper, he smiled. He raised
one eyebrow and - Harriet stared he
winked. Then, in businesslike tone, but
somehow intimate, he said. There's some
thing I've been wanting to talk over with

Cooby. Would even Dick take such a
liberty? But she understood. The wink and
the nickname - he was putting on an act.
BY adopting chummy attitude toward

A Short Short Story
TME little nurse wrenched herself out of
Il the doctors arms.
Weepers" she said, and stood looking
in horror at the woman in the doorway.
1t was no joke to be caught necking in the
linen closet by Miss Cooper Miss Cooper
was the superintendent of nurses. 1t may
have been that, because of her youth,
authority had gone to her head, and she
was stricter and more pitiess than probably
she would be later when the years had
mellowed her. And although she had mo-
ments of something approaching beauty,
she reserved them for the doctors and the
more imposing of the male patients. Man.
hungry, the nurses said she was, but they
said it without laughter. There was quail
ity about Miss Cooper that quenched any
desire to laugh
Now, still gripping the door, her face was
ugly with anger, and colder than the heart of
glacier
Harriet nervously smoothed her bright
fluff of hair under her cap and bowed her
head to await judgment. Her sidewise
glance at Dick was without hope. She saw
him whip his handkerchief across his mouth
and fold it quickly over the smear of lip
stick. His hand was shaking little. Even

China S Subsidy Runs.
Into U. 5. Tariff Law,
PeriIs Chang Regime.
BY The Assoeiated Pres.

SHANGHAI. Feb. B. China's
4-day-old export subsidy plan,
already under heavy black market
pressure, collided with the United
States tariff law today leading
gloomy business circles to express
fears that the Chang Kai-shek
regime was in imminent danger of
economic collapse.
Businessmen, necessarily anony-
nous, remarked bitterly that every
government effort to stabilize the
shaky situation seemed to produce
the opposite effect.
The latest blow was a mimeo-

Departure time for some 10000

Implementing the American de-
cision to abandon mediation of the
Chinese civil war after more than
a year, American field teams were
coming into Peiping. Some already
have arrived, and total of ten
teams is due February Is. Those
from advance headquarters at
Changchun, Manchuria, are ex-
pected by February %.
Communist members of headquar-
tiers are to be flown by the Ameri-
cans to Hantan, on the Peiping-
Hankow railway 275 miles southwest
of Peiping.
Desultory fighting was reported
continuing on that railway today
approximately so miles southwest of
Peiping.
United States officers newly ar
rived from Tatung, 165 miles west
of Peiping, and from Taiyuan,
Shansi provincial capital, said they
had seen numbers of Japanese SOL
diers and technicians in those gov

100 Per Cent Subsidy Plan.
The American-owned Shanghai
Evening Post and Mercury said this
news blasted into fine powder" the
100 per cent subsidy plan announced
Wednesday by Premier T. v. Soong
The Soong plan would have
granted Chinese exporters, 6,700
Chinese dollars for every American
dollar they collected, financing the
subsidy by so per cent levy on
various imports. At that time. this
would have approximated the black
market rate for American dollars.
The official exchange rate is $3.50
to 1.
Responding Immediately, the black
market rate rose steadily to 1000
to l, making success of the subsidy
plan doubtful even without the
application of the United States
tariff law.
All observers agree that the pres
ent slump in Chinese currency cam
not continue without grave con-
sequences. Most business men say
that an open rather than an arti-
ficially pegged exchange is the only
answer.
Many Firms Face Closure.
Many firms face the likelihood of
closure, with consequent unemploy-
ment, and cocktail party conversa-

Some Chinese, whose number is
growing, say sweeping purge in the
government would help, provided it
went high enough.
Others say compromise between
the government and the Com
munists is the only way out, but this
is not in sight, and in fact the
Communists long have said they
were counting on government eco
nomic collapse as an aid in their
struggle for power.

Jean Hersholt took time out the
other afternoon before leaving town
to talk about the conclusion of the
latest annual contest which makes
his "Dr. Christian" program (WTOP
Wednesday, $3.50 p.m) the only net
work show written by its listeners.
Mr.. Hersholt seemed considerably
surprised at the number of writer's
and would-be writer's at large in
the land. Nine thousand scripts
were received, he said, from which
readers culled 627 considered in
Glass A." containing usable stories.
From these the five winners of past
years, acting as judges, will select
the ones to win the first prize OF
$4,000 and the second prize of 81 900.
In all, 50 scripts will be used and
paid for.
A major problem. Mr.. Hersholt
said, was the wedding out of the
works of O. Henry, Stephan Zweig
and others, whose stories had turned
up in thin disguise. The contest is
worth all the effort every year,
however, since it always provides
the actor with elews about the in
terests of his audience. Last year,
for example, rehabilitation was al
theme; this year writ
ers seemed to be thinking about
housing.
