The warm liquid gave her new courage. “What about the play?” he asked as he sipped his own drink.» “It all depends on how quickly David recovers,” Noel explained. She hated adding it, but she did: “He's backing the production, you know.” : “T'see!” Allan said it slowly and Noz! couldn’t know why his words 4 | made her so angry. if he had n » tell.

It would be so com-' forting. And because she thought it, she jerked her hand from his grasp. They went to Larue’s and Allan s | hose a table in the farthest corner. | His every action was solicitous for 2l’s comfort. He talked again of the Christmas perty. “Sheldon has a job with the Demarest office.” she remarked. His steady look met Noel’s. She smiled her secret appreciation.

So much hed happened since her return to New York. Se- cretly’she resolved to call the Wey- meuth Club in the morning. David was on her mind all through the dinner.-She kept part in the conversation and when they had finished she went into the éressing-rcom to telephone his | apartment. About the same, Miss March- 2 Josephs told her again, She had to be satisfied with the com- forting thought his condition was in the lobby she said to “It was a delightful dinner, |*hough T haven't been such a gay, guest” ‘ * You've doen lovely, as always,” Mrs. Marchend reassured her. All-n exnlained he had to stop off at the club for a while to meet some business acquaintances. “Why don't you go back to the Lancaster with mother? It’s quite early and [ll return shortly.” Mrs. Marchand was persuasive. Then, too, Noel dreaded the long evening alone in her room. Together in the living-room of the big Marchand suite, Mrs. Marchand had Noel take off her hat. “It’s more restful,” she sug- gested. Amber shadows from the lamp beck of Noel's chair fell on her softly-waved hair, on one outline of her pale cheek. “You're so beautiful!” Mrs. Merchand offered unexpectedly. Ncel laughed in embarrassment. tress learns to make herself seem “Well, Allan thinks so, too. He’s , quite fond of you, my dear. But then, who wouldn’t be? You're so fine in every wav.” Noel blushed.

Although she willed against it, she could still feel thé causal kiss in the Claiborne woods—a ki: to seal a friendship. “I think Allan is one of the grandest people I’ve ever met,” she answered—and in truth. ' Mrs. Marchand sighed. “He’s | been a wonderful son, all I've had for So long. And the periods he’ been away have been almost un- endurable. It’s hard, Noel, for a | woman to be away from the man who belongs to her—whether it’s a husband or son.” More difficult still, Noel thought, to think too much of a man who | would never belong. She glanced | at Mrs. Marchand, fearful lest the older woman her secret thoughts. Now that she’s seen Al- lan again, the feeling about him was stronger—not fri ip, but deeper, alarmingly so. The realiza- tion brought a sinking sensation. | She must stop it! At once! Then she heard her friend say- , ing in a carefull d voice: “It’s confidential, I want you to know.

The program is en- titled “What Price America”, and is a history of the use and misuse of our natural resources and the necessity for citizens to conserve these public assets. The program will continue for twen- ty five weeks. Quoting from a prospectus on the series, it found that the fol- lowing story will be told: “By the art of the dramatist we escape time and live again with the first settlers; we go with the pioneer to the west; we watch men wrench from the earth its treasures of minerals; forests and fertility. We observe the creation of a new nation and the spendthrift use of these riches. We thrill to the birth of three million square miles of farms, a thousand towns and cities. We are brought face to face with a threat of national emergency as a result of this pro- fligate use and growth. We look to the future, and the planning which will assure the preserva- tion of our heritage. © “It is our obligation as citizens to take a new attitude toward these natural resources and have a better understanding of the problem involved in carrying out a national plan of wise and pro- per conservation.” PROMOTIONS TO JUNIOR HIGH LIST COMPILED FROM DIVI- SION STREET SCHOOL Forty-four pupils have been pramoted to the Junior High School from Division Street School and will assume their class activities at that institution immediately upon the beginning of the next semester of this school year. z List of the promoted students follow: Andrew Atwell, Alberto Calreo, Raymond Cavepo, Albert del Val- le, Juan Espinosa, William Filer, Ralph Garcia, Harold Haskins, Ernest Hopkins, George Lee, Orlando Marchante, Edward Moore.

C., Jan. 27 —The other day a couple of Am- erican newspaper correspondents made their customary call on the official pre: chief in Mexico City. They inquired about Wash- ington reports that the Mexican Government was trying to sell German equipment, obtained in exchange for confiscated oil, to other Latin-American natiens. were Frank L. Kluckhohn representing the New York Times and William Lander , of the United Press. Instead of receiving the infor- mation they asked for, Mr. Kluckhohn was __ seized and brought before a Mc crnment official and ordered to leave ‘Mexico within 24 hours. The United Press correspondent was informed that the outside world “is not interested in oil deals with Germany,” and the United Press Association was fined 5,000 pesos. Oth corre spondents who have been writing | about the new political and eco- nomic ties between Mexico Germany have been reprimanded. Correspondent Kluckhohn has written the news from for two years during which time it: has turned largely upon confiscation of American-owned the farm lands and the seizure with- . out compensation of foreign- owned oil fields. These matters have been of great concern to our Government. He had_ recently discovered and printed the fact that the Mexican Government had made a 25 million dollar deal, by which it was to exchang: confiscated oil for German mer- chandise. But when the correspondents uncovered the scheme for a more extensive deal between Germany and Mexico and the Mexican to hide the facts. Under this contemplated ar- rangement there would be no re- strictions on the amount shipments to Germany because Mexito would not be limited by its own ability to absorb the goods received from Germany, as payment. The American report- ers were on the trail of a huge international scandal, and if it is carried through it will make Mexico the sales agent of Ger- many throughout Latin-Amer- ican countries. Naturally, this would demoral- ize trade and economic condi- tions between the United States and Latin-America, and throw thousands of American workmen out of employment throughout the United States. Of course such piratical prac- tices as are used,by Mexico will undermine the spirit of the Lima Conference, and defeat the re- building of healthy economic con- ditions between “the - American Republics, including our own. American newspapermen cov- ered themselves with glory in making this sensational discov- ery—fraught even with war dan- gers. The Times man _ explains that he is “serving as a warning to other correspondents of the attempt to cut off impartial news at its source.” In a leading editorial The New york Times praises the accuracy of all of Mr. Kluckhohn’s report- ing. “The Times is sorry to lose a good reporter in Mexico City,” says the editorial and adds that “it believes that its own loss is {less serious than the loss of con- fidence and of respect which the Mexican Government _ incurs, when, after censoring its own ‘press into a state of helplessness, ecoeecaoox0080900e000" can Gov- ; and ; Mexico of oil } coeccoecegecesnz0ccee® it attempts to censor the press of :ould Get Better The present system relic! w: to cure 1 bring the country back The nation was assured of emer- hed in that there need to appropriate for recovery a year or two.

In 1933 the total accountable income received in the United States was $44,000,000,000 and this increased to more than $67,- 000,000,000 in 1937, and dropped somewhat in 1938.

In former times thé’ legislators didn’t get together until March and by that time they were grumpy and grouchy. During the last week or two the fighting has become more noticeable on Capitol Hill. The dissensions in the Demo- cratic party and the independent positions taken by members of all parties and factions indi¢ate that the people “between the devil and the deep blue séa” are apt to be real beneficiaries of the No- vember elections, and ejections. You most likely remember all about the returns that stiffened the courage of legislators repre- senting all parties, and put them wise to the fact that the voters expect better service from their ‘servants on Capitol Hill. 4,000{ * ° Advertisements under this head will be inserted in The Citizen at the rate of one-cent (1c) a word fer each insertion, but the mini- mum for the first inseriion every instance twenty-five cents (25¢).
