I'm gettin' outa this town." "Where do you figure on going?" "Some place where they'll never catch up to me." Daisy was thinking fast. If Chick went now--but there was no thinking of a future without Chick--and Poochy. "You don't have to run away. Chick--" "No? Hang around. I suppose, and just wait for 'em to walk in and "Too bad." saM "Where's Chick?" v7^ - ; - ^ "Didn't you hear about It? A woman from the Children's Society , 'was around and----" "Yeah, I know. Every mugg on the Midway is out trying to bag a mother for Poochy. Say--where do yon figure in all this?" •Who--me?" said Daisy slowly. "Why. somebody's got to hold down the fort, M?ac. You remember the old stories--when the men folks went out on a scalping expedition-- the women had to " "Stop it!" snapped Mac. "You're breaking my heart. Say, he never gave you a tumble, did he? You're not good enough for him, I suppose. You're all right for everything else-- but when it comes to being a mother to his kid--what the blazes does he think you're doin' now?" "If you're not careful, Mac, you'll have me weepin' on your shoulder." "You're a funny kid." Mac staged , at the girl. "Sometimes 1 think you like to get the run-around.

He sat down besides Daisy. "Listen, Daisy--" his voice was low. I don't have to tell you how I feel about you. I guess you got a pretty good idea. But I'm too smart a guy to try and move in--knowin' how you feel about Chick. Look, Daisy-- can't you get it through your head that you haven't got a Chance with him? He, can't see you. that's all.

She said if Poochy had a mother they coul£[5>'$ S9.»!ivthing to you." „ " "Well," said Chick, "he hasn't got one. So what's the use of talkin'. I'm goin' out and dig up Fingers." He rose to go. "Wait a minute, Hon--use your bean." Daisy clutched Chick's arm. "You can get him a mother, can't you?" She paused, "What good Is running away? They're bound to get you in the end. Wherever you go, you'll find yourself on the front end of a chase. So why don't you get this thing cleared "up once and for all?" J "Let me get this straight. She 1 said if Poochy had a mother, I'd be okay?" , "Yes--that's it;" Daisy saw success in sight. "And they'd lay off me, huh?" "Sure. She said if he had the right kind of a mother, there's nothing the Children's Society could do- Chick was thoughtful now. "Is that so? Whadda you -know about that? That's pretty good. All I'd have to do is dig up--" He turned suddenly and kissed Daisy on the cheek. "You're okay, Daisy. That's pretty smart. Yes, sir. I know exactly the kind of a girl to get, too." Daisy's face clouded as Chick continued. "Somebody like Nell--you know, nice and clean--an educated. That's the Important thing--the education. Just what Poochy needs, too. Muggs c, like us are no good for him. Gee, I Daisy--if I can find the right kind of a girl, my troubles are over - ain't they?" But Chick didn't wait - for an answer. He grabbed his hat -a- and ran for,the door. "Chick!" came Daisy's cry.' ' Chick stopped short. "Huh?" Daisy's last chance. "I Just happened to think--of course, it's a s good idea, but--but if you find the «&,gin you wan(, you'll have to marry , her. you know." I "Oh, sure--sure. But If she's a |real high-class lady, I guiss it •wouldn't be so hard to take." Chick ran out. Daisy sank wearily into a chair. Her advice had acted like a boomerang. She didn't hear Poochy when the child came to her side. "Lo, Lady." Poochy pulled her >; skirt. "Lady--" Daisy stared. "Did you say 'Lady,'" she said bitterly. "Huh!" She took the child up into her arms • Y-you're getting to--to be a comic, like your old man." rT~'~ I Daisy was knitting a little dress when Mac entered the room. "Well! Well} Congratulations!" Mac grinned. Daisy looked up. "Don't get this .wrong, it's for one of the doll*." You might as well get used to the idea." "Cut it, will \'ou?" "Don't wait," said Mac bitterly, "till he drags your pride around in the dirt, Daisy. Gee whiz, he's got you crawlin' now." Paisy JUmped to her fee£ "Aw, shut up, Maci And let me alone. All right, I'm crawlin'! ' What's it to you? What's it to anybody? It's' my business, isn't it? I'm sick and tired of your preaching. Get out of. . here!" J Mac merely stared sympathetically. Then Daisy turned suddenly and walked-to Mac, laying her hand on his shoulder. 'Oh. I'm sorry, Mac. It's sweet of you to wOrry about me. Maybe you're right--but I'm nbt going to walk out without putting up some kind gf a battle, see?" "You rate a better break, kid." Mac put his arm around Daisy com* fortingly. And then Chick met Miss Helfen Holbrook, the lecture in the booth for the Incubator Babies. Her votce» was soft. .melodious. Her beauty was quiet and refined. And, of course, she knew more about babies than any ten other women Chick could think of. Undoubtedly she would make a perfect mother for Poochy. Chick said as much to Daisy. "Yourll fee nuts about her," he raved. "Soon as I get the thing set* tied I'll bring her around. Take It from me, Daisy, she's got everything --looks. Oh, boy, what looks! A pair of glimmers, that look at you-- but friendly. And her hair--say, 1 didn't tell you about her hair, did I? We were sittin' in the beer garden out in the open, see? And the sun hit it. Well, it was like one Of those paintings that you see around. And when she talks, her voice is low and soft. She musta learned that in college. Yeah. I guess that's where she found out all about kids, too. Daisy, what that mama don't know about babies ain't been written yet.' Chick straightened his tie. He had a date with Miss Holbrook. "Well, wish me luck, Daisy." "Good luck, Chick!" snapped Daisy. She turned away quickly, for tears were in her eyes. Chick's eyes softened. "Listen, hon--I don't want you to feel bad about this. I'm crazy about you, see? I should be dressin' up for you. That's what I oughta be doin'. But I'm in a spot, see? You understand. You're aces as far as I'm concerned --Just perfect for a guy like me. Believe„me, if it wasn't for Poochy* you and me'd " "Thanks," said Daisy, bitterly, "for practically nothing." ~^She walked away. "Better hurry up! You'll be late." Then" she became suddenly fierce. "You been hangin' around for hours Jabberln* your fool head off! Who wants to hear about it? I don't! You got a date; go on and 1 keep it! But stop talking about it!," . 9he walked quickly t,o the bedroom and slammed the door.

Mr. and Mrs, Frank May and two children of Chicago spent Friday with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Miller* Wasington, May29 - Debate in the House of Representatives this week reveals these law-makers in a penitent mood. Much like the small boy aftel- discipline in the woodshed, the solons are trying to show the Presi • dent of their intentions of doing better. After voting overwhelmingly against the personal plea of Mr. Roosevelt to sustain his veto of the bonus measure;, the Democratic members of the House are rushing to do the White Hotise bidding. They have an opportunity to display their repentance by voting with the Administration on amendments to the Agricultural Administration Act ind the extension of the National Recovery Administration. . Oddly enough this penitential show is riot entirely satisfying to the Chief Executive as the lobby which pushed the bonus through the Senate "and House is aggressively demanding the. enactment of the same principle as a part of other legislation. Mr. Roosevelt made his dramatic appeal to a House he knew would almost immediately turn deaf ears to his plea. His attitude was comparable to Themistocles, the brave Greek warior of our school-books who said, "Strike but hear mel" The President knows full well that the performance in the House this week of outward obedience is nothing more than sham. The same influence that persuaded this legislative body to rebel against the party leader are in a position r.o make them repeat the performance of the bonus issue comes to life in the form of an amendments to some, appropriation bill. A "rider", as it is popularly called, is a method of getting through controversial measures by the back-door route when they would othewise fail if handled solely on merit. The magic phrase that Congressional action hinges on "word from the White House" is worth considering only when a legislator fe^ls his vote is along popular lines in his district. The logic and frankness of the President's message never swayed a vote on the bonus in the House. The political situation at Capitol Hill is changing so rapidly that few Tntrrsaay, may 3u, trained observers are willing to pre» diet the fate of the current legislat* tive program. ^ While the President was successful 'in playing the Senate against the House in the bonus veto issue, this week he turns %o the Housa for support. The House will probir ably give its approval to the Admini* stration plan of breathing oxygen in-r to the NRA which automatically Expires June 16. There is a possibility of a filibuster in the Senate becaus# the House will pass a bill differing substantially from the Senate extension resolution. The cloak-room betting says that the Senate will not; work out a compromise until the Supreme Court passes on the constitutional !aspects of NRA. A decision is expected by June 3. If the highest > tribunal fail9 to rule definitely, then, the Administration will be obliged to engage in heavy back-stage trading to rescue the Blue Eagle from ex* tinction. ° The organized labor ldbbies are operating at full steam in an effort to put through their pet schemes. While they are publicly demanding contin-. uance of NRA they privately report' that they are pulling for the Wagner Labor Disputes bill which the White House has stymied in the House Rules Committee. Business and industry is willing to give the Blue Eagli another trial provided the Administration does not attempt to foster - the trade-union bill carrying Senator Wagner's pame. The unionists are seriously concerned that their pos-.. sible victory over employers in the en* ' actment of this measure may prove ii: boomerang. It is reported that the Wagner bill is filled with legal loop-holes which would practically nullify it when subjected to judicial scrutiny. The spotlight riveted on the President's veto of,the bonus detracted the attention from another veto message* The President sent to < the Congresi a message disapproving House Joint Resolution 254, which authorized and directed the United States Public Health Service to make a complete survey of all government properties for the purpose of eliminating alleged defective plumbing. The Presi- : dent said, "No" because he believed a project of this sort would cost between 5 and 6 million dollars and wal unnecessary. The House resolutionrequired a report to Congress oil or before Januray 3, 1937, on the relation of amoebic dysentery to plumb* • ing. in substance, the President toldL~ the Congress that their objectives could be effectively attained by having the requisite instructions issued to the engineering personnel of various > government agencies* TH • FRIGIDAIRE '35 ON DISPLAY AT OUR STORl y EVERY MODEL EQUIPPED WITH THE SUPER FREEZER X AND IVIRY MODIL HAS THISI ADDED MATURES Every model of the Frigidaire '35 has the famous Super Freezer.
