Although thé tifge to make as money as possible.isvas natural one, the sys- tem, if carried far enough, would work a much chardship on most 6f those not employed ir defense, and does work 1 « hardship on many of theifi now. Aside from the fact that he is pushing someone else out of a job, it is only fair to suppose that each of the two-job man’s employers are getting a little less for their | money than if he had only one. After all, | the argument ‘that won employers to the eight-hour day was that men with a greater amount of leisure would produce more dur- ing the time when they were working. As a matter of fact, tests in England for the purpose of speeding up industry, ‘re- vealed a point around the 10-hour mark in a day’s work when an employe’s product- ivity dropped below'that of the eight-hour day. If that is the case, a 16-hour day would not show a very high score in efficiency. Neither the government nor the con- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN YESTERDAY: Brett Rodman is interesting the wedithy Mrs. Mar- bury and her niece, Gina Goodell, in a handsome old house off the North Carotina coast, But he was not quite ready for Mrs. Marbury, with Eve Prentice, Julie Emerson. and a planeful of friends to de- scend on the house for an inspec= tion. Now the plane has left again, the caretakers ate not eoopera= +, tive, and there seems to be a sug- gestion of the sinister about the whole affair. Yet on the surface everything is usial enotigh, Chapter Eight Light Of Mystery Gas and Mrs. Marbury cor= nered Brett and talked to him earnestly about the house, Eve, watching Brett as he point the wallpaper, or ran his fand over the frame of a chair, saw his | island, face lighten. He even smiled at Gina and she, pleased with her success, refused to see Ham, scow- ling in another corner. “Wouldn't you know it wotild be like this?” Neil- murmered: to Eve. “I get you on a desert is- \ land—practically alone, though in a crowd-~and there isn’t a moon in the heavens. In fact, it might even rain—I just went out on the porch and looked.” “Never mind,” Eve consoied him. “I can feel gomantic just sitting in this room. I do hoy Mrs. Marbury fixes it up—I'd like to come here just once and see it in all its glory.” “It’s a nice eno! room,” Neil agreed without enthusiasm. “Say —did anyone ask the Jacksons what that little shack down on the beach is for? If they have'a motor boat, we might run around the island’ tomorrow, before the plane gets here.” ‘Tt asked about that,” Ham spoke up, his naturally genial nature recovering from Gina’s snub, “Jackson said it had been a | boathouse once—but there’s noth- ing there now—it’s just empty and, I gathered, falling apart.” “They certainly had a fine cel- lar ,anyway,” Mr. Howe declared, swallowing reminiscently. “Well —I think Droissard and I will go along to bed, if you people don’t mind. It’s been a fairly tiring day for me.” He added a general goodnight to everyone else in the room and, followed by his “bodyguard,” left the room. The others gathered into a smaller circle about the fire and, by common consent, talked in lowered tones. Julie, with her | flair for mimickry, had them all tractors have any rules on the subject, but | at least some of the complaints against the two-jobbers are justified. POPULAR MISNOMERS Many familiar articles bear names which are misleading, although the mis- nomers are generally of little practical im- portance. A peculiar instance of this is seen in the popular name of the Jerusalem arti- choke, which is in no way connected with the famed city of the Holy Land. In this case the word “Jerusalem” is a corruption of the Italian “girasole,” (mean- ing turning to the sun), from the habit of | the plant, which is of the same genus as the sunflower. The sunflower, by the way, has a name which is doubly appropriate, because it not only inclines to turn toward the sun, but its flower also has some resemblance to the sun itself. Both the sunflower and Jerusalem ar- tichoke are indigenous to America, there is also a.globe artichoke, which probably a native of Asia. Speaking of misnomers, the one most frequently heard is “Irish potato.” This valuable tuber was discovered in South America, whence it was introduced into Europe, first as a curiosity. It later became the most important item of food for Irish people during a time ‘of famine, and is | the name “Irish” has been applied to it ever since. THE USE OF WORDS How often do ) we find difficulty in thinking of just the right word to express | a certain idea? Even the best writers must often-stop to weigh their words in order to hit upon the mdst appropriate one, while few speakers can observe all the niceties of expression without writing out their speech- es and memorizing them beforehand. This is not due to any lack of words in the English language,. however. Possibly it may be a result of our having too many to choose from. The latest unabridged tionaries contain more than 400,000 words, and the list is increasing constantly Noah Webster's first dictionary, pub- ished in 1828, contained only about 70,000 words; the edition of 1864 included 114,- 000, and that of 1890 about 175,000, compared with the 400,000 recognized words today. Yet President Wilson, who was one of the foremost masters of English, in 75 pub- lie atidresses used a total of only 21 dic- as | different words, but | the | stifling their laughter as she imi~ tated Mrs. Jackson showing her the bedroom and assuring her she wouldn’t like it. Later, Eve asked Brett Rodman if there were any secret passages, “I haven't looked,” he said shrugging, “but it’s likely. Most of these old houses have them and this one had a reputation, as I told you, for slave-running.” “Where do you think it is?” Eve persisted. He leaned forward and lowered: his voice still more, so that they all had te listen closely. Eve sat with her back to the fire, Lordy Mace at her feet. “Do you know what I think?” Brett whispered to her. “I think the secret passage is right in batk of you!” Involuntarily Eve jumped up. looking fearfully over her shoul- der, Lordy Mac, too, was {nstantly on his feet, growling in his throat, | © and Neil looked at Brett mur- derously. “This hardly seems the time for jokes,” he said coldly. “We're all tired, I think. Let’s get upstairs.” Eve, ashamed of herself and annoyed with Brett, followed Neil’s suggestion at once and they all took candles and went. There had been no sign of the Jacksons since dinner time, and they had heard no movement on the other side of the house. “I'm glad I brought my cold cream, anyway.” Julie said, yawning, as she and Eve reached their réom! “Although I can’t see to put it on in this light, Phew!} 5! Those blankets certainly are moth-proofed—you’d better open another window, dear.” Eve obediently went to the second small window set in the gable and raised it high. The wind was strong. but it brought the salt-sweet smell of the sea, and she could hear the murmur of the water along the shore. She turned and looked at the room again, loving its quaint, fad- ed wallpaper, the old mahogany bed. the chintz-covered slipper chair near an incongruous. mar- ale-topped table. “In spite of moth balls, I'm go- ing to sleep.” she announced, slipping out of her clothes. “This is a love of a room, isn’t it?
