Granted, there are harzards—-and tremendous ones --to overcome in making these flights, but the ‘ribune Company, the postoffice at in Advance it!” will result in just nothing. Supervision of the flights by some national body which would set the qualifications for planes and flyers is one way of making transoceanic flights less hazardous.

Sept. 17.—President; had been’ barred For a long time the card games on this premise. When the put-and-take top became popular a correspondent brought one in and the boys started spinning it for nickels or some such coinage. This lasted for ten minutes before a White House cop ended the game. The top incident was all that, brightened a long, tedious period of chess, the only game allowed. Then, recently, after Congtess had adjourned someone started a bridge game and it was allowed to proceed. Bridge has been played ever since whenever a quorum was present and will continue unless some reformer steps in. Only two can play chess—- \ though not every two at that—and the job of correspondents who have the White House beat consists letae- ly of waiting for news to develop and tagging occasional visitors to the president, ous The press-room at the White House is about as large as a fair-sized bath- room. Jt has four telephone booths, three typewriters and occasional pieces of furniture. Its regular in- habitants are correspondents for the press associations. The noble countenances of Cal- vin Coolidge, Warren G. Harding and C. Bascom Slemp, one-time secrgtary to Coolidge, shine down upon the bridge players. There is also a bronze elephant, presented to the White House Correspondents Asso- clation by the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, and a handsomely decorated House. charter of the club. | Faith’s eyes were fixed in an. un- believing stare upon the printed bank slip pinned to the check for two hun- dred dollars that Bob had given her for household expenses on the first of the month. “Insufficient funds” worthless checks if it. wese. only money, or the lack of..it, that.,.hud come between her husband and her- self? Oh, it would be sweet to help him, to taik things over with him understandingly and sympathetically, the small, cold type, with the red ink check mark after it, was like so many Egyptian hieroglyphics to her at first. Then slowly comprehension dawned. It was not she who had overdrawn; it was Bob. There must be some mistake. The’ bank had made a silly error, Wrath rose to her, to drown out the nauseating fear, as she telephoned to the bank, speaking sharply to the bookkeeper in charge of the “H” ledger. When she came away from the insttument a few minutes later she had been humbled and humiliated but con- vineed. Bob's account was over- drawn— Then her father had been speak- ing with the authority of definite knowledge when he had hinted that Bob’s business was in a way. But why, why, why, hadn't Bob him- self told her? Why -had he subject- ‘ed her to the humiliation of finding out’ the truth in this cold-blooded, | brutal fashion? And there were the checks she had drawn to pay the bills for telephone, gas, lights, groceries, meats, milk, Mrs. Lundy's services— She slumped in her chair, shudder- ing.’ Had she committed a- crime, drawing checks against a —balanc which did not it?

Here was the ex- planation, of course! He was wor- led s¥ek over money matters—a i worry which Faith’s whole struggling existence had equipped her so thor- 2 pian with nim how she might econo- mize, tide them over this distressing period. Dear Bob! How she had wronged him in her thoughts! She had let her siek mind run to evil suspicions, had linked his beloved name with that of her sister, when all the time his worst crime had been that he was finding it impossible to make enough money to support the big family which she had unjustly brought him when she married him. How gxtravagant she had been! She began to blame herself violently, eo sharp was hey relief that she had found an understandable explanation, so keen her desire to he! band, ’s summer in camp. had cost nearly four hundred dollars, including railroad fare, incidentals, @ complete wardrobe of camper's clothes.
