At first she didn't want to .listen'declaring that rhe had heard the whole story. "No you haven't," Parker replied. '"Kay, I want you to come down to the hotel. I must talk to you." , When she got to the hotel Parker .reasoned with her. "You're blamilng Buck for Grenaker's dirty work, IGrenaker got your father to try to ;get rid of me when I stopped that ^crooked cruiser deal. And when 'they sent Buck on that wild goose (chase to Scranton, he came to me ana told me what they were doing. iThe first thing at today's meeting, [Buck had your father elected vicepresident and general manager at ^twenty thousand dollars a year. .Now, go In and tall him you're sorry."

I'm going to have a talk with her tonight if l have to kick In her bedroom door." Kay stepped from behind a partition- "There's a law against kicking down bedroom doors," she said. Soon after Buck and Kay were married As they departed on their honeymoon, Buck spoke to the workers. "Thanks for the send-off," he grinned affectionately. "You mugs keep on turning out that tecord steel and we'll ha$» company's stock over two hundred by the end of the year." "We won't see you no more. Buck?" asked one of the workers. Garrett grinned. "Don't kid yourself. I'll be on your necks in a month We're coming back here to live." He turned to Kay. "Isn't that right, Kay?" She nodded, smiling happily, and the train pulled out of the station But, Garrett did forget the little town and his fellow workers who had pushed him to the top of the ladder Instead, he installed himself in a magnificent apartment on Park avenue and began to play the stock market. What he had learned [the day he spent with Parker had igot into his blood and he began to [deal in steel with the idea of buildilng up the biggest corporation in [the entire world, I As Buck came home early one It was the last word Jn motor vehicles. , "How do you like it?"

Buck said as they got in* "Feel how roomy they are." "It's lovely!" Kay exclaimed. Buck looked at her scornfully. "What am I going to do with that money? Keep buying you things!** At his office, Garrett was an entirely different sort of Individual. He tried to hold conferences, dictate, telephone and watch the stock ticker all at one time. "--and our recent absorption of the Mid-West Steel Corporation and the forcing out of small competitor* leaves us in complete control of the district -- " he dictated. At the same time, he picked up some papers and handed them to a clerk. "Send them up to the at tor neys at once." And, once again, turned back to his secretary, "--bet ter get in Consolidated. It'll hit 2t before the month is out." Without pausing, Buck picked up t his phone an£ ca]!»£ Graham. Whll$ Trait ing for the call, he continued!

Pick up fifteen thousand at one-forty>three. Let" me know." i As he replaced the receiver. Mrs: Garrett was announced. "Have her come in," said Buck, his face lighting with surprise. ^ While waiting for his wife. Buck continued. "Send a telegram to Blake and ask him when they'r<( going to get that injunction against the Cromwell Mines " i "Mr Everett's been waiting," an-{ nounced his secretary. ; "I'll see him afterwards." Then the phone rang and Buck answered It. "Hello? Oh. how al*. you. Drake?" TO BE CONTINUED LEONARD A. BARRETT The universal demand Is "the right to live." Whatever is necessary in order to achieve that end, man claims as Uis inalienable pos session. When the privilege of earning one's daily bread i s t a k e n away, something mighty serious Is bound to occur. When men become hungry, not moderately but tragically bungry, they are not nort n a l . The same spirit grips them as when the wild beasts kill as well as risk all sorts of hazards in order to obtain food for their offspring^ The innate right to live has been the cause of. nearly all the revolutions in history. When the so-called tipper classes claim the privilege of "let him get who can," the submerged population claim the same right, and then we have war. Where economic restlessness exists, there Is a strong undercurrent frequently dangerous and abnormal which, regardless of all consequences, claims the right to have its daily bread7 It Is folly to attempt to stifle this inner urge. The English queen may have decreed that all unemployed persons either Arid work on a certain day or go to prison, but that does not always Settle it. Prison bars may limit the activities of the physical, but have never yet silenced the power of the mental and spiritual forces. The Roman emperor murdered the martyrs, but the cause which led them to their death still lives, while Rome is only ancient history. The whole world today is surcharged with a spirit of "the struggle to survive." The so-called dole generously distributed is in danger of being pressed too far, especially when it lowers the morale. Some persons are endeavoring to rise above it; especially that person who modestly Insists upon your acceptance of an article offered for sale instead of keeping the money you offered as an act of charity. The supreme need of the day is the preservation of self-respect, thus avoiding the menace of a lower standard of those values which constitute one's right to live. When mutual confidence has been restored the problem of unemployment will be solved and men will have the privilege of earning their daily bread. ®, Western Newspaper Union. QABBY QERTIE - Our 'Washington Letter > --Br-- National Editorial Association Sound pictures of the twice-a-week Cabinet sessions, if permitted, would be priceless for the present and future generation.. It is here that the President and his official family are preparing the second phase of the New Deal. Like all family gatherings there is a 'Uash of opinions that can only be sejttled by the President. Mr. Roosevelt has a happy faculty of allowing unhampered discussions punctuated only by his witticisms, which quicldy smoothes wounded feelings. There is, for instance, a divergence of thought in the Cabinet as to the legislative, program, which the White HouSe must submit to the new Congress in January. The President and the Secretary of Commerce are inclined to favor long-range planning while the Secretary of Labor wants "rush" stamped on every official recommendation. The re-casting of Administration plans is proceeding in ah •orderly fashion to such an extent that the general public cannot predict the text of the forthcoming Presidential message 'fen . the state of the Union," which is delivered on the day following the convening of the national legislature. Back of the proposal of Ferdinand Pecora, former Senate^ investigator and now member of the Securities Commission, to require Federal chartering of business, are the revelations of the inquiry into high fiiuince last winter. Pecora could probably muster some votes because law-makers arid their constituents were "burned" in the stock markets. The Pecora plan while designed as a fraud curb is in reality aim/ed at management of corporations. The agitators will utilize data showing lax laws in certain states permitting the issuance of charters without due study of the proposed corporation's plans and, in particular, their methods of marketing securities. The only slogan of "State's rights" will undoubtedly be revived as the Federal government steps into the picture. The advocates of this scheme will stress the protection of investors, established competitors, and the consumer of its products. A Federal incorporation law would harass legitimate industry already plagued by governmental interference and control. Among the paramount problems confronting industrial recovery is the uncertainty of tax methods. Until tax liabilities can be Reasonably determined the Administration cannot expect any marked flow of capital, into new or revived business enterprises. The President has his budget message under consideration. It la not an easy task for this government is now spending billions and revenue must be provided to protect the national credit. The House committees will mark time during December considering only proposed departmental expenditures based on • rough estimates of income froin tax sources. The failure of the President to rush pell-mell into an endorsement of hastily drafted unemployment insurance schemes at the behest of the American Federation of Labor has taken the wind out of the sails of those advocating a "pro-union" bloc in Congress. Perhaps the Chief Executive has been taking stock of the situation. No one questions the remarkable development of union influence fn the early days of this Administration largely because the New Deal was experimenting with practical Liberajlism, , Unsentimental analyists have presented a picture to the White House of organized labor and the elections which will obviously make the high , command more careful in taking a position in controversial labor issues. The endorsement of the A. F. oi L. contributed to the defeat of 70 candidates for Congressional offices including many Veteran legislators. The Federation refrained from taking a position in 105 Congressional contests. Six candidates for the Senate running under the banners of organized labor were defeated. In 77 Southern Congressional districts the candidates were unaffected by labor groups activities. Unionists privately rate at least 100 House 1member9 as opposed to their program, which indicates the Roosevelt forces could draft support from this source on a real test involving vital labor policies, such as-the 30-hour week bill. r-'iiini People who have been obliged to .contact the present Secretary of Labor apparently are in agreement that •he is taking herself too seriously. Her insistence on being addressed M "Madam Secretary" even by thosewho knew her before her elevation to a Cabinet job is becoming an irritate ing joke in many quarters. It waa Charles Dickens, who aptly stated long ago that, "Dignity is more a question of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine." She may be "Madam Secretary" to the world, but President Roosevelt still addresses her familiarly as "Frances," and some of her intimates brave her displeasure in calling the Cabineteer by her old time abbreviated name of "Fanny.** White House photographers have complained that on several occasions when they have photographed Madam Secretary that she ordered policemen to destroy the plates. However, those successful in penetrating the new wall of dignity that Miss Pter^ kins has erected find her a -'very-.' charming and gracious woman Iceenly interested in hsr job. > COWS RANK HIGHEST . •';.
