THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1931 PAGE FIVE * INSTALMENT XXX Jealousy Philip said nothing whatever at he office on the following Monday morning about seeing Beth at the 'Dustbin.' He seemed possessed ith a desire to work and he gave (Beth so much to do that she had 0 stay late that night to finish it. Phil stayed too and Beth, work- ng at her desk in the outer office, could hear him in his own private room as he dictated into a machine that he used some times when no stenographer was available. She slipped out at 7 to get herselt some food, and came back to find Caros line, gorgeous her ermine wrap and a panne velvet dinner dress, talking to Phil. Apparently ghe yas on the point of leaving, for she nd Phil were standipg near the door of the office, where Beth | worked. Caroline's glance passed careless- ly over Beth, and then rather sig- niticantly to Phil's office, with the door open and things strewn around that he was working with, Neith- er Phil nor Caroline spoke to her, merely moved aside to let her get to her desk, where she sat down jut once and began to type. But though they spoke in lower tones than usual Beth could hear what fey were saying. "Once more T ask you, Phil," said Caroline "Give up working like this. It isn't necessary, Tf you'll give it up I'll consent to a quiet wedding and we can go aboard." "No, Caroline, T can't, I've start. led this campaign of mine and I'm going to finish it. Heaven knows I'd like a quiet wedding instead of |@ big one all fuss and feathers-- but that's too big a price to pay for it. I've simply got to finish (what I've started." | "Well--that means June at least, [before we can be married." "June, at least. Fall would suit me hetter, hecause by that time if my plan goes over I'll have it fun- ctioning so I can take a couple of months off te go abroad. Really, Caroline, dear, you're being most unreasonable, One reason I am go- ing to work late and give dances and dinners the go-by for a while is #0 we can be married sooner--so that I can be free from business cares during our honeymoon." "But Phil--=why must you work at all? T have so much--and you're not exaetly poor." "I can't see myself living on my wife's fortune" he said stiffly, "'Granted that T have a good income (it 1sn't halt what yours is now, but iit I can get this scheme of wine going 1 will have a great deal of money." Caroline sighed. "All right, then, Phil--you ean he terribly stubborn. It hurts me to think that you put business success ahead of our happiness, thatg all." "But," he sald exasperated, "my business success Is our Kappiness, if you'll only see it the right way. Get this straight, Caroline--1'l11 let yon run the social show, but the busi- ness show is mine, and you might as well resign yourself to having me work late for a good many nights now---until after my board meeting in May, at least. If you want to go dancing and so on, there consolation of knowing where 1 am----right in my office, working like the devil, so we can be married the first thing this fall, maybe even this June if I get a good bre: Ic. Carsline looked at Beth, "| sup- pose you have to have help--these evenings in the office," she sald in a sub-acid tone. Phil's only answer was a shrug of his broad shounlders. Then. "Come along, Caroline; I'll take you down to the ear. You'll be late for the Vannings' dinner if you stay here any longer," and he took her arm and led her thsough the dor to the elevator. After they had gone Beth scop- ped working. The air of the ottice was subtly fragrant with Caroline's perfume, Caroline's silvery, cry stal-clear, cultivated voice still sounded in Beth's ears. Without shutting her eyes, Beth could geo the picture Caroline made, regal blond beauty against the somber mahogany panelifig of the office. ealousy It was so this girl could marry Phil Dance the sooner that Beth was staying to work. Phil had sald that the sooner he got this cam- peign out of the way the sooner he pnd Caroline could be married. 1t was like signing your own death warrant, Beth reflected, for her to work long, hard hours to help Phil carry out hig plans. Oh, well, the gooner it was definitely over, the better. Perhaps when he was really and finally married she'd stop feeling as ghe did. . Beth went back to her work, hastened to it by the sound of Phil's return. He went hurriedly through the office where Beth was into his own, and she heard him slam the door viciously, He was really fond of Caroline; at times he was quite sure he loved her devotedly, and he was glad they were going to he married. She was the most beautiful girl in her get, and she was clever and accomplishe ed as well as beautiful, Every one said they would make an {deal couple and Phil, who had his share of masculine vanity, was inclined to agree with them. But there were times when Caroline got terribly on his merves, especially the times when she resented his work this 'way. She had come in to try to per. isuade him to drop things, he mar- 4 in Mareh and spend Faster in LOVE'S PRISONER by Barbara Webb are plenty of men who will be glad | 5 en oe "to take you, and you'll have the | Practically All Countries Are records made would be regarded a creditable in any country and 4 he pinned Caroline down to it she said she only opposed Beth's work- {ug late on principle--she didn't approve of any extra office hour mingling of employers and their secretaries--that she wasn't jealous of Beth as a person at all, "Then you'll just have to keep on being jealous of a principle," Phil had told her flatly, "for I except to keep Miss Shannon late a good many times in the next few months, and you might as well understand Caroline knew when to yield. -- ~ ed. "I'm crazy about you, I'd so much rather be with you than any one else I know --it makes me al- most wish I could run a typewriter for you." Phil had laughed heartily--as perhaps Caroline had intended he should--at the idea of the beautiful Caroline Gibbons running a type- writer in his office. They had parted on that note. Phil stepping into the car to gather Caroline fin his arms and kiss her behind the back of the discreet family chauf- feur., But her carping and her jealous ly rankled. and at half-past ¥ he buzzed for Beth to come in. "Women Are the Limit" "Are you tired?' he asked her abruptly 'Not very." "Would you like to go down with me to have some coffee or some- thing wnile I grab a bite of dinner? 1 suppose you had yours a while ago-----hut you might come along to keep me company and have a sec- ond desert." Thank you, Mr. Dane," Bet), an- swered, "but I'd rather not. I'm nearly through with my work now and I'll be able to go home in an- other twenty minutes." "Oh, all right," said Phil grump- fly. "Women are the limit. I'm going to raise your salary again, Miss Shannon, for these next couple of months I expect to have to ask you to stay late a good many tiniés, I' tell Arnold to put you down on the office time sheet for thirty-five weakly after this." Beth thanked him and went back to her desk, half regretting her re- fusal to go out with him, But she knew she had heen right. He had probably asked her mostly out of plque-- and even if he hadn't, Beth knew that to be with him only in- creased her pain over losing him, Beth had enough of that--she was n't having any more, thank you. She saw him go out presently. With de=perate haste she finished the letter she was writing, hurried through her last-minute chores, and when he returned from his dinner it was a deserted offiee--a neat nile of 1ftters on his desk-----and a vae- ant chair where ha had seen Beth's bright head half an hour hefare, (To Be Continued Tormorrow) JAPAN STUDIES IMPROVEMENT OF POULTRY FIAGKS Studying Science of Poultry Breeding Practices for the improvement of the poultry industry would ap- pear to have become fairly well standardized fin all progressive countries. This conclusion may well be drawn from a review of pa- pers presented at ths World's Poul try Congress held in London last year. While the World's Poultry Science Asrociation may have had a strong Influence in hastening this standardization many countries had made good progress in raising the standard of the laying stock many years ago. Japan has made fine strides in this direction and is now intensifying her efforgs by import- ing Improved poultry from Carwada and other countries, The improvement in poultry breeding from the standpoint of utility appears to have commenced about a quarter of a century ago. In a paper given at the London Conference by Kasunobu Kinura it fs shown that government farms that were established and operated years ago for the production and distribution of hatching eggs from approved stock are now doing only experimental and research work. Besides endeavoring to improve poultry by propagating purebred fowl, the government of Japan as- sists in the holding of short period egg laying contests. From these tests government poutry farms as well as advanced poultry breeders have ¢ome gradually to adopt trap- nesting as a means of selecting breeding stock, and in recent years, ag pointed out by the writer of the paper, importations of stock birds of heavy laying strains are being made. : ow According to this writer the view has become firmly established that fundamental improvement in lay. {ng quality can be attained only by breeding from high producing strains by means of line-breeding. Commencng in 1919 with single comb White Leghorns, and by us- ing trapnests to seléct layers, and crossing with heavy laying strains of males, the egg production was very rapidly increased. The first year the maximum number of eggs laid per hen was 177 and the mini- mum 80. Five years later the maximum increased to 194 and the minimum to 108. In 1928-29 the iSpain whefe friends of theirs were |honeymooning., And when he had sald no to this she had seen fit to stage a spasm of fealouey over little Beth Shannon working er fingers the bone out there. amounted to 322 as a maximum 'and 145 for the minimum number True, when weight.of the eggs. in the number of eggs, the writer laid, in a flock of 64 banded 8.

RUSSIAN ELECTION CAMPAIGN STARTS Voting Is Protracted Over Period of Several Months Moscow, Feb, 13.--~In the elec- tion campaign now in full swing throughout the Soviet Union, 83,. 000,000 voters will be entitled to participate in the balloting, This constitutes more than half the population of the entire country. Those who will be able to vote in the election include every per- son of either sex who has reached the age of 18 and is engaged in some useful occupation. The only persons disfranchised are those living on unearned . income, reli- gious servants and officials of the Czarist police. The voting is protrficted over period of several months, even in the Individual cities weeks are spent hefore all the deputies of the Soviet are elected. This is due to the fact that the elections are based on production rather than territorial principles, Deputies tn the Soviet are elected by the workers and office employes where they work, in the factories and institutions, each of which 'ap. points its own polling doy within a specified time, Candidates to membership in the Soviets are usually shop werk- 'ers, engineers and specialists known for their devotion to pro- duction and participation in the social life of their plant or in. stitution. Seientists, artiste, au- thors and such groups also elect their representatives. Another note-worthy feature of the elections is that housewives also have their own deputies {n the Soviet. Special meetings of these women are called along territorial lines. HISTORIC PART OF MONTRFAI T0 BF CI0SED Pathway Made Before Time of Jacques Cartier En- ters Terminal Scheme Montreal, Feb, 15. Irom ebs ruary 16 onward for a consider. able number of months, a pathway which in some form or other was probably opgned long before the arrival of Jacques Cartier at the foot of Mount Royal, will be excavation work in connection with the proposed new central terminus, the Canadian National Railways announce that Dorchester street will be closed between St. Gonevieve and Mansfield streets, The whole of the route has not heen continuously open, however. During a considerable period be- tween the time when Indians prob. ably used a trail In the neighbor- hood of the present Dorchester street, and 1865, the section west of 8t. Genevieve street was part of farm lands under cultivation but from St. Lawrence street to Bleury at least, it was a recognized road- way far beyond the trace of of- ficlals records of the City of Mont- real. If the village of Hochelaga was located where some of Montreal's historians place it, it would seem probable that long before French explorers discovered this island, Indians followed a path some- where in the neighborhood ol Dorchester street toward their vil. lage, when coming from the west. And later, when the French col- onists had established their forti- fled town in the lower part of what is now the financial district of Montreal; one may well imagine that somewhere near the presdat line of Dorchester street lay the trail by which Indians came tow- ard the settlement on visits, sometimes friendly, often other. wise, Certain it is, that in 1796 when a law was passed, establishing by statute the permanent existenca of certain old roads which had been in use for decades, por.ibly centuries previous, one of the old roads that were thus erected to the dignity of Kliag's highways, was Dorchester street, from St. Lawrence to Bleury streets, ENTOMBED MINERS SAVED FROM DEATH Munden, Manchuria, Feb, 13.~ Japanese officials at the Fushun Mines near here, announced today that the three thousand miners entombed following an explosion last Sunday had been saved, Earl- fer reports indicated a heavy loss of life.

The speaker's subject was Econ. omic Nationalism, which he de- fined as the use of all suitable means to render the people of a country more self-contained. and to round out more fully the econ- omic structure. Customs tariffs, which most people immediately think of in this connection, are only one of a pumber of means of promoting this end, he said.

The second was exclusive coastal shipping laws, providing that goods carried between a country's i [5%] ports must be carried in ships un- In addition to the train there were nine cars and a truck aboard.
