as an ad that says: ''This means
you" And she saw how much
harder to please he was during the
overtime hours - more irritable,
more apt to get that edge of COM
plant in his voice.
So when Nancy had said, II don't
mind staying nights, really. I know
Paula usually has a date. She's
popular with the men :" well.
Paula had been glad to let it 60
at that. She'd been quick to see
that neither of them was going to
get the job mainly on sex appeal,
and she was right.
Paula didn't need any lessons
when it came to office politics. She
was the one who was always busy
when some copy cub wanted his
stuff typed. Sorry, but it's impos-
sible, Mac. Why not ask Nancy"
And they did. 1t left Paula free
to do Bill Hargrave's work in a
hurry. Never too busy for Mr..
Bill.
When Hargrave finally pressed
one of those buttons it was at
Paula's desk that the light flick
cred. She started to make grab
for her note book, but she whipped
out her mirror first. Then she
grabbed up her note book and an
envelope that was on the desk.
AS for Nancy, what else could she
do but sit there with her pretty
blonde head bent over her type
writer? Nancy was natural
blonde, and that seemed the best
way to describe her. She just
didn't seem to know any tricks.
The moment Paula got inside Har-
graves office, he asked about that
stateroom.
ANY luck, Paula?"
No, Paula hadn't been dumb. 1t
was the little things that would add
with Mr.. Bill. Orchestra seats
when the client was in town and
the show was sold out. Or a state
room when there were mo state
rooms to be had for love or
money"

CORDUROY CONNECTION - BY
actual survey, we find that you high
school Jills think every boy looks
his best in a corduroy jacket. You're
partial to the light tan jobs, worn
with sharp Stacks. You also like to
date something in three-quarter

letter sweater, you think yellow
corduroy Stacks make him look as
suave as Rory Calhoun.
BEAUX WITHOUT BOWS - The
majority of teen-age girls vote
against bow ties-but 60 all out for
wild four-in-hand ties that light up
the dark without benefit of electric

had been pierced right through the

much that you're begging, borrow
ing, or stealing them from him.
Well, if at first you don't succeed
when you ask for one-just cry,

Hawaiian Statehood

Despite all of its recognized quail
fications, statehood for H W a II
again must wait until 1919. This
time a senate committee wishes to
make an battle-ground investigation
of Communists in the islands. They
will find few as they can in any
one of the 48 states. A few years
ago, when I was in the islands, the
Japs constituted the bogeyman that
held up the application for state
hood.
When dug bit deeper I found
the opposition eliminated from a
small group of civilians whose wish
was to prevent the election of the
owner of the Honolulu Star-Tele-
gram as the first Hawaiian senator.
The only way it could be done was
to prevent admission of the islands
to statehood.
The Jap bogeyman was then the
blind. This time it may be Commu-
nists. Whatever the reason, the
committee will enjoy a pleasing
jaunt at government expense while
the people of Hawaii wait for JUS
tice.
The individual elected to public
office or those comprising a gov
ernmental group, who assume the
all wise attitude of some heads Of
families, that Father knows best"
that his decisions must not be ques-
toned or explanations asked, are
riding to fall. If the family does
not call them to account and turn
such officials out, members Of the
family will, In time, find their
cherished liberties disappearing. II

chandise, automobiles, everything
that has dollar value.
In 10 years the actual value Of
our tangible national wealth has
not increased, but the purchasing
power of our money has de-
creased by 100 per cent or more.
1t is not that we have more actual
wealth, but that it takes twice as
much of our present money to buy
it. That weighs and measures our
present day initiation. What we
could buy in 1888 with 81 it now
takes 81 or more to buy.
That acre of land on which so
cents-a-bushel corn was raised is
the same acre on which $1.50 corn
now is raised. The value of the
acre has been inflated because the
value of the crop it produces has
been inflated through cheap money.
The initiation we now have can,
and probably will, continue to in
crease until congress gives our dol
lar fixed value. Senator Taft has
proposed that the dollar be stabil-
lied at its present value. We could
do that by re-establishing a gold
standard and fixing the price Of
gold to conform with the present
purchasing value of the dollar.
Such move would prevent the
purchasing power of the dollar
from going lower; it would keep
prices at their present levels un-
less labor secured higher wages.
1t would mean that all debts, in
Guiding those Of the local, state
and federal governments, would
be paid off in so cent dollars; that
insurance policies would be set
tied in so cent dollars. We must
stop somewhere or 60 through the
wringer as have some European
and Asiatic nations.
The farmer would have that same
acre on which to grow corn and
he would get for that corn whatever
Purchased on so cent value dol
lar-the world market would war
rant. His acres would not multiply,
nor would they grow more corn.
Prices of commodities would fluc-
tuate on the basis of supply and
demand, but not on the fluctuating
purchasing power of the dollar, as
is now the case.
We can continue on the initiation
road we have been travelling; can
continue to decrease our dollar val
ues by refusing to fix that value,
and in another 10 years or less
again double our national wealth
by seeing the dollar drop to a Is
cent purchasing power. Such an
increase in national wealth is mean
ingless. It does not mean the farm
er's acre produces more corn, but
it does produce more dollars that
have less value. For that $500
government bond you have you may
get $500 each with Is cent, rather
than a 100 cent, value.

you called the boss BILL" and he
called his secretary "Nancy" or
"Paula," and took her to dinner
on the expense account, on nights
when the work was late.
It was all strictly business, but it
seemed intimate and informal.
Both Paula and Nancy knew
about these dinners. Bill had tried
to be fair. He would ask Paula
to stay one night, and then it would
be Nancy's turn the next.
But Paula had been smart. She'd
soon learned how impersonal Bill
Hargrave could be, even at those
intimate dinners. About as personal

a. secretary by the color Of her
hair. Not Bill Hargrave. Both
Paula. and Nancy had been smart
enough to know that. And for some
time every one in the office had
known that one of them, Paula or
Nancy, was going to get the job.
In fact, the decision probably would
come through this afternoon. Har-
grave was leaving town and wanted
to get it settled.
The two girls could see him from
their desks outside his office. May
be it was only a set of proofs for
the Hippo campaign that he was
looking at with cool, keen eyes. But
for a moment his finger seemed to
pause above those two efficient lit
tie push-buttons. If he pressed the
left one, it would be Paula's pulse
that would 60 into high speed.
Paula couldn't keep her eyes off
that light on her desk. She kept
making mistakes in her tipping and
nervously ripping the sheets out to
start fresh again.
She leaned across her typewriter
and said to Nancy: 1.-The boss is all
dolled up today. Must be going on
a special trip with the new presi-
dent of Hippo"
She was just talking to relieve
her nervousness. Nancy took her
time about answering. She wasn't
used to having Paula talk to her in
such an intimate tone. Not since
they'd learned a month ago that
they were both in line for a pro-
motion, for the important job as
Bill Hargrave's secretary.
''He does look NICE" she said,
finally.
Hargrave was young and out
side of office hours he was said
to be human. But that wasn't
why he'd gotten to be one Of the
key men at Advertising, Inc. He
was quiet, and some Of the boys
in the office hadn't realized how
fast he was travelling until they
somehow happened to get In his
way.
The two girls saw him get up
from his desk and walk to the
doorway of his office. He stood
there with one hand in pocket OF
his double-breasted blue flannel
suit. There was a small white
flower in his buttonhole and the
usual keen, unrevealing smile on
his face.
Ibid you send for the tickets?"
he asked Nancy.
IT got the tickets all right" she
answered, "but :" and she tried
to smile in the same hard way the
boss did. She looked as hardboiled
as a white kitten. "But there just
aren't any staterooms to be had"

money"
The boss was certainly disap-
pointed. Anybody could see that.
Suppose I try it," Paula sug-
gested quickly.
And for the next 10 minutes, half
the office force could hear Paula
telling the ticket agent where to
get off.
LISTEN" she said, II don't care
whose reservations you have to
cancel :"
Well. the job was worth going
after. There was the salary, for
one thing. And there was the pres
tige. The boss secretary knew
lot of answers. And there were the
interesting people she got to talk
to. The big shots. And the boxes
of perfume, flowers and candy they
often left on her desk.
And there was Bill Hargrave for
a boss. Young and clever and at
tractive. That was a factor, too.

ANSWER: First rub down the

wool until the surfaces are smooth
and SATIN like; then wipe off the
dust with turpentine. If you wish
to have an orange maple color, you
can get this effect by the a2plica-
ton Of two coats of pure orange
shellac. The first coat should be
thinned half-and-half with denatur-
ed alcohol. For other shades, apply
an oil stain, selecting the color that
you prefer from color-card at
your local paint store. Apply the
stain as directed on the label and
finish with two coats of quick-dry-
ing varnish.
