| jerk your head that way. seen you
pick up that piece of candy, and
you and Johnny Crane put your
heads together over it,"
Nella looked round the table in
swift bewilderment. Then she
seemed to grasp the implication,
and a queer light grew in her eyes.
mo, Susie, Gilbert hadn't been in
my kitchen for month. Could /
ask, did you find any box or paper,
or anything of the kind, in which
he could have brought her candy
that morning? don't believe he
| did"
Didn't find a thing" said Susie
with a snap of her jaws. Except
you count that old cardboard box,
hardly blgger'n pillbox it was, in
the wastebasket. Cheap cardboard,
too. Had sealin' wax on it once"
From the gathering shadows
Todd spoke, with an oddly start
ling effect. "Was there any indica-
ton of what had been in the box?"
"Wisp or two of cotton battin',
that's ALL"
The last of the light played
across that candid-seeming brow
OF hers, across the angle of Nella's
cheek; it glinted on Horace's spec
tacles. There was nothing, nothing
you could put your finger on: only
four women and two men, sitting
quietly around the disorder of a
dinner table, speaking in low, pas
sionless voices, smiling often; yet
Georgine Wyeth felt suddenly al
most suffocated.
Murmuring son4- thing about
Barby's bedtime, she got up and
made her escape, calling for her
daughter in firm maternal tone.
Todd waited in the upper hall
until Barby had been shooed into
the bathroom and the splashing
had begun. When Georgine re-
joined him, ''It's beautiful" he
said, "to see her fetching out those
motives, after she's been goaded to
it. You notice how she wouldn't
tell us about the cousins until she
could do it to their faces? They had
every chance to deny those stories
but they knew it was no USE" He
had the mouth organ in his hand,
gently hitting it. 'T've got to get to
work tomorrow. There's something
alluring about the lady in Vallejo,

marking time until"
Hush, Todd" Georgine looked
round swiftly at the closed doors.
"Georgine," Todd said, with his
intent look, "do you want to 60
home, right now"
She glanced at his still face. To-
morrow-why, tomorrow would be
their wedding day. When you got
this near, postponement even of
three days more seemed like an
eternity. Two things in which he
can be entirely adequate, she
thought.
Don't let me fly off into hys-
teria," she said, and smiled at him.
"Of course we'll wait over. After
all, the box with my clothes should
arrive in the morning. don't want
to pass it on the way!"
Todd took hold of her arms and
shook it gently in affection.
Todd met her in the hall as she
was trying to slip down early to
breakfast; she thought that coffee
might restore her and cure her
headache before anyone noted the
dark circles under her eyes. She
had not slept.
He clicked his tongue. "You
didn't sleep after all; disobeying
my express orders!"
"Orders, indeed. We're not mar
ried yet, my good man."

all?" His eyes were narrow.
"You might call it that. Todd"

she could look both up and down

many licenses to destroy it2
Mr.. Davis sincerity, in this incident, can
no more be doubted than can his loyalty
to the country for which he shed his blood.
He is going home with head held high and
clean conscience. He was able through
his resignation, to avoid any sacrifice of
his original principles. He was even able
to avoid having to try to square them,
somehow, with the facts of life. That is
where Mr.. Davis, an individual, has an
advantage over the community as a whole.
The community cannot resign.
All the community can do is try to con-
troll It's real subversives, the would-be
destroyers of its ideals, with the least pos
sible damage to those ideals. The COM
munity must not lose sight for moment
of the delicacy of the operation it is
performing on itself. To this end, Mr.
Davis probably has helped it, rather than
hindered it.

Advice to Workers

To the Editor of The Star:
Many people are kicking about the high cost
OF living and demanding that the Government
do something about it. Well, as a student Of
the economic and political history of the world,
though q workman, feel qualified to speak.
The big trouble is that the average worker Is
not producing days work.
The union leaders seem to be too stupid to
realize that unless the workman produces
enough work to allow the boss to make profit,
the boss will have to raise prices in order to
meet the wage demands of labor. Today, In
stead Of the average worker taking pride in
his work. he seems only to take pride in pro-
ducing as little as he can. Yet he draws high
wages for It,
We American workers must learn common
sense and stop listening to Stain and his pup
pets and get back to work. don't mean sweat
shop methods, either Unless labor wishes to
see an economic chaos that will make the
depression of 1929 seem picnic, our workers
will have to stop loafng on the job

Red Challenge in Italy

The general strike begun in Italy comes
both as climax to the mounting provoca-
tions of the Italian Communist Party and
as another tactical move in the general
offensive launched by Moscow against the
western democracies headed by the United
States.
In France, the test of strength between
the local Communists and the moderate
French government has ended in Com
munist discontinue, albeit the grave dam
age to French economy inflicted by the
attendant wave of strikes and sabotage
leaves behind an unfortunate legacy of
troubles. The scene now shifts to italy,
where essentially the same test is being
made under less favorable conditions for
the nti-Communist SIDE While most of
the italian people undoubtedly are anti
Communist, their morale is not so sound
as in France, the armed forces of the gov
ernment are weaker and less reliable. and
militant Communist state, Yugoslavia,
is on the northeastern border, able and
willing to support the Italian Communists
in certain eventualities.
The current strike is undoubtedly DO
litical In character. The government had
already agreed to attempt redress of the
most glaring hardships suffered by the
workers But the Communist leadership
which dominates the italian Confedera-
ton Of Labor coupled its relief demands
with others that the government could not
