He could take slurs on his person, but there was one thing on which he drew the line* He couldn't take insults to that faithful old companion, that sympathetic friend, that' trusted comforter and unfailing cheererupper, his pipe. Up to now Sarah's hints hadn't bothered him, but this morning she had ceased to hint. "How long," she had demanded tartly, "am I going to have to stand it?" Henry's small, buttony brown eyes behind the pale plastic-rimmed spectacles were reading headlines with interest. "Bandit Holds Up Another Local Store." Well, well. The police Still hadn't caught the fellow, and this was the third holdup he Aad pulled. ^ ". . . and when I saw that* hole in the rug, I wanted to scream." "What?" he asked guiltily, conscious that he had heard only part of Sarah's remarks. "1 saidshe repeated exasperatedly, "1 fomnd a boU in lb* rug and ashes all oper the sofa last might.

"I'm sick and tired of finding ashes all over the place. Now you get rid of that smelly old pipe, Hen-, ry Little, or I'll get rid df it for' you!" Reaching the store he unlocked the door ahd went in, p[Ut on his sweater 'and lit up his pipe. The brightly-labelled cahs on the shelves, the fresh fruits and vegetables, the dairy products, the household items, all stood in their appointed places, like old friends. Today he would have to go through the stock lind reprice some of the canned goods. * npHE door Opened and a stpeky * young man came in, dressed in a dark coat with the collar up about his ears and a slouch hat down over his eyes. Dressed rather warmly for such 9 day, Henry thought. "Yes, sir, what can I dp for you?" he a$ked pleasantly. "Quiet in her% today, isn't it?" the- man said. >• < "Very," Henry agreed. "Tbom put up your hamdt, bud, mud open up that cash register," tbo mam snarled, leveling a gum at Henry. •Henry almost fainted with surprise and shock* His knees rattled against each other, and he was powerless to move.

After reafehtaf a Mgh record level last •ptftag.' the general tendency has been for exports from this country to decline. Because of the large disparity which developed between purchases by countries ifi the United States and their sales to this country, manyof the nations of Europe and the western hemisphere found it necessity to tighten up import controls. Ttey took these measures fat order to<onserve their fast dwindling resources of gold and dollar assets and to prevent their trade deficits from increasing too rapidly. If congress should adopt substantially tile long-range European recovery program presented by the administration, this would tend to modify the indicated decline in exports from the United States. During the first three quarters of 1947, the deficit of countries in the Marshall plan area in their trade with the United States was equivalent to a rate of approximately billion dollars a year.

C. Morrow, Madison, N. J., told members of the 'Society for the Advancement of Management. Asserting that technological development "can make or break America," he urged management men to alert themselves to the history «of technological development and to the opportunities that they have of acquainting worke s in industry with the importance of technological development to themselves as individuals, as well as to the nation at large." As technological development has increased in terms of power consumed by industry, the value of products turned out by American ~ ictories has greatly raised the livstandard of the country's entire ulation, Morrow declared.

' With this terrible predicament facing him, he somehow noted that on the shelf a little beyond the bandit a can of pineapple juice was balanced precariously on another can and almost looked like it was going to fall. Henry watched it hopefully, and a wild, crazy idea formed in his mind. Crash! The can fell to the floor, startling the thief so Jthat he made an instinctive half-turn, and as he did so, Henry pulled out the pipe from his pocket and stuck it in the man's back. "Now put your hands up," he said hoarsely, and with as much menace as he could muster. The gun fell to the ground with a thud and Henry dragged it over .with his foot, and picked it up. "Go out the door and Into the store next door." he ordered, his hand trembling. In the barber shop next door he told the astounded barber to caB the police. ...
