The first flash of resentment against the idea was spent. I could see that from more than one stand- point the proposition was a logical one.

The arrange- ment would give her happiness and restore to me the economic freedom I had had before my marriage. My own mental attitude in the mat- ter was extremely complex. of me, the part which had so rejoiced at the opportunity to earn the money paid by the Lotus Study club, advised the acceptance of the elder M Graham’s plan. From a feminist point af view the proposed arrange- ment was the only possible solution of our domestic problem.

That’s right.” Thus shielded, she ground the coffee, and true to her promise the sound of the grinding was so muffled that no one outside the room céuld possibly have heard it. “The hot water will be ready in another minute,” I announced.

She sat down be- side me at the table and opened the book. “I couldn’t live without this book,” she said, extravagantly. “In it I have all sorts of treasured clippings and jottings. The things I need most I have pasted in. The chafing dish receipes are in an envelope. 1 just happened to have them along.” She was turning the pages as spoke. On one page, which she passed by more hurriedly than the cthers, were a number of kodak pictures. I caught a flash of one which made my heart beat more cuickly.

Representative Hay said the bill was an administration measure “upon which the president desires prompt action.” It probably will be re- ported without delay by the com- mittee on military affairs, and, If ne- cessary, a special rule will be in- voked to expedite its passage. Intro- duction of the bill was a surprise to the house. Members of the proposed council and their advisors are to be named without confirmation by the senate. The body is to be largely an ad- junct of the executive office, although it is provided that reports to congress shall be made of investigations con- ducted. Indicating the plans for an immediate formation of the council is the provision that $200,000 for ex- penses shall be ‘“immediately avail- able.” The principal provisions of the Hay bill follow: “That a council of executive in- formation for the co-ordination of industries and resources for the na- tional security and welfare is hereby established to consist of the secretary of war, the secretary of the navy, the secretary of the interior, the secre- tary .of agriculture, the secretary of commerce, and the secretary of labor. “The council shall nominate to the president and the president shall ap- point an advisory commission, con- sisting of not more than seven per- sons, each of whom shall have special knowledge of some industry, public utility or the development of some natural resource, or he otherwise specially 'qualified, in the opinion of the duties hereinafter provided. “The members of the advisory com- mission shall serve without compen- sation but shall be allowed actual trareling expenses and subsistence in attending the meetings of the com- sons who mission or when engaged in investiga- tions pertaining to its activities. The advisory commission shall hold such meetings as may be called by the council or as provided by the rules adopted by the council for the con- duct. of its work. ¢ “It shall be the duty of the council of executive information to supervise and direct investigations and to make recommendations to the president and the heads of the executive depart- ments as to the location of railroads with refgrence to the frontier of the United States, so as to render possible expeditious concentration of troops and supplies to points of defense; the co-ordination for military, industrial, and commercial purposes in the loca- tion of extensive highways and branch lines of railroads, the mobilization of military and naval resources fof de- fense, the inerease of domestic pro- duction of articles and materials es sential to the support of armies and the people during the interruption of foreign commerce, the development of seagoing transportation, data as to the amounts, location, method, and means of production and avail- ability of military supplies, the giving of information to producers and manufacturers as to the classes of supplies needed by the military and other services of the government, and the requirements relating thereto, and the creation of relations which will render possible in time of need the immeédiate concentration and tion of the industrial resources nation.” Authority is given for the e by the council “of subordinate for assistance in special investig either by.the employment of] perts or by the creation of mittees of specially qualified p serving without compensation The bill appropriate $200,000 immediately available for the mental work and by the invest to be undertaken by the cou its subordinate bodies, and to the necessary expenses, clerie otherwise, of the council and bordinate committees.
