But we have put in use a great deal of labor-saving ma-| chinery during that time, so industrial production really would have to be far greater than 120 per cent of the 1929 figure to! take up the slack. Not only that, but new developments such as the photo-electric cell, the mechanical cotton picker, plastics, and indoor chemical growing of crops may still further cut down the available jobs. These new developments usually provide new jobs, but making men who have been cotton pickers all their lives into their energy or strength. They never win any races. They are cq perati r short-lived.

There is always a long interval of adjustment during which many men} go without jobs. This is not only bad in itself, a stalking terror for the men displaced, a reduction in their purchasing power, but it is also a concern of all other men because we now know that such dis- placed men must be fed and clothed and housed at public ex- pense. Thus the problem concerns everyone. s es ¢ Who then is to attack the problem? Why, the only agency in the country that represents everyone—the government. And its first step is to learn all that may be learned about the prob- lem. That is what the National Resources committee is at-| tempting to do. Gathering knowledge of what must be done is the first step. How to apply that knowledge is the second, and usually the more difficult step. But the second step can scarcely be ef- fectively negotiated unless the first has been securely taken. As government becomes more complex, the need for intel- ligence grows clearer and more insistent. Every step toward clarifying and understanding our prob- lems is a forward step. Perpetuating Intrigue Not long ago, Adolf Hitler illuminated the lowering European skies with the startling statement that Germany’s main interest in the Spanish civil war was to obtain access to Spain’s ore deposits. That ambition now is on the threshold of fulfillment. A trade agreement has been signed, providing for immediate ship- ment of iron and copper ores and pyrites from Rebel territories to Germany. e And so, apparently, everything is happily adjusted. Hi object attained, Hitler will not have to keep battleships and sub- marines nosing around in mine-laden Spanish waters, and Nazi troops may be withdrawn from Spain. But is everything settled? Unfortunately, Germany has just now reached Part II of the drama. Part II requires pro- tection of ore deposits and ships carrying ore cargoes. And that means that the warships and submarines probably will stay right where they have been for months, open for business as usual. 2 Perilous Prophesy Prophesy has always been a perilous occupation, but never | more perilous than in these days when things move so fast. Perhaps you will recall that a few years ago, when radio was beginning to become so extremely. popular, prophesy was freely made that “canned music” over the air would be the death of the amateur musician who likes to drum out his own music| at home. Specifically, that the piano, once considered of respectability and culture, was doomed. So what happens?. Well the first six months of 1937 are the best six months the piano business has had in the past 15 years, with almost 50,000 pianos shipped in the period. This proves two things. First, the love of “roll-your-own” music is not so easily killed as some people thought. And that even pianos can be sold if the maker will adjust his product to today’s needs—the small house and apartment, and today’s price scales. Business can be had by those who go out for it ag- gressively and intelligently. a mark but it soured the District of Colum- jbians, who dwell in # constant state of sourness Bt poo rrone anyway. * Taxes for the D.

Federal government has steadily grown and acquired the city’s real estate (limited because the District is legally but square) while demanding more and more of the city’s service. A few years ago paid half the city’s expenses. This year congress voted to contribute only five millions to a $46,000,000 budget. | we & Points of Friction So natives hate those many con- gressmen who argue that all employes here (except their own appointees) are parasites on taxpayers back home.

But words will not come te velee “that something.” CHAPTER III ps put down a magazine which he had picked up cas- ually, as Judith paused. She no- ticed that his eyes had been rest- ing on a picture of her, clothed in purple crepe pajamas, lounging on a davenport in their sun room. - Odd, she thought, that she should be wearing those pajamas now. She could not mention Marta’s name to Phil, though he had given her an opening. He himself went on. “Judy, what’s happened to me?” He raised his voice. “What's happened? You ought to know? You're a woman! You're my wife! It’s your business to know.” “Tell me about it.” She dropped down on a hassock at his feet. The mood passed. “You'll think Y’m an ass, I’m not certain of my- _ self, my feeling, of anything any more, Not even of my love for you. Judy. Judy—” She remem- bered a favorite little brother who! | | had come to her when their father | | had been drunk and unkind long} ; ago, as she met the puzzled blue eyes. Life was being that way to Phil now. It had removed the ‘wrapping from his emotions. She couldn't advise him. She could] 74 only stand by. So to change the conversation, presently she mentioned the gleaming jackets she had bought a few days before. He didn’t smile appreciatively. His lips curled a little. “They matter a lot to you, don’t they, Judy? Clothes, I mean.” “Why no, not at all.” “But you wouldn’t wear ging- ham aprons and live with a man on a Georgia farm or on a Pacific island and never have a picture in the paper. Not you! Oh no! Not Mrs. Philip Godfrey Irving, who wears the most becoming clothes in America!” She glanced at him swiftly, scrutinizingly. No, he hadn’t been drinking. But he wanted to hurt her, terribly and dreadfully. She fought back an inclination to de- fend herself. This was not the time for alibis. When she spoke her voice was quiet. “Phil, we need the lodge this week-end. Shall we go?” His mind came back from a long distance. ‘The lodge? Oh yes, of course.” Now his eyes were quiet again. “Judith, I think that might be an excellent thing to do.” eee Bt when Phil called on Friday he said: “Judith? The Cables are here from London. Just got a ring from old Pete. How about taking them along” Because there was nothing else to do, she agreed. Anyway she liked the Cables, who were a little older and fond of the out of doors, And later, when Phil began to suggest that a house party might two days alone with her, lest he make a dis- slosure he wasn’t ready to make. i i A ti af ss BE. : i J Hy i F 4 ‘5 Hl 2 cy - J - d * Mlustration by Virginia Krausmann ludith went to the terrace to dales followed her. “Hello, Judy She helped plan the guest list. Another woman was needed. “Why not Marta?” she asked. “She's beautiful and we need her for ornamentation.” Phil’s guarded answer showed that he didn’t know how much she suspected. “Do you think so? She hates New York over week-ends.” When she replaced the telephone in its ivory cradle Judith stood up, gave the heavy rose hassock a mighty kick that sent her silver mule spinning after it, bit her lips. Marta wouldn’t fit. That should be good news—should show up a woman. But Marta was clever enough to get the men to protect her. For one thing she didn’t know how to dress.
