My Boy!" bu FRANC/ S WALL AC £ J AUTHOR OF "HUDDLE*

SYNOPSIS Born es humble parents. Mom and Pop. in a tiny Middle West factory town. Tommy Randolph, "always different from other children”, becomes a high school football sensation both to the delight and disdain of his hard-working family. Big universities are bidding for him with the chances favoring Thorndyke, a "millionaires’ college” in the East. Tommy is graduated from high school as a town hero and becomes a freshman at Thorndyke. His mother is secretly alarmed over lack of news from him, though reassured by Dorothy Whitney, his girl friend and dangh- ' ter of Lhe local millionaire, that Mom should not worry about Tom- 1 my . . . “he’s not lonesome; not while he's with himself.” . . . ( CHAPTER TWELVE Mom laughed at herself later for ' having all those foolish fears for 1 when Tommy came home at Christmas he was bigger and stronger and handsomer and braver than ever. He actually picked her up and ‘ hugged her and he was so big Mom s felt kind of embarrassed, as though t he were a strange man. He made

a big fuss over Pop and Pete and seemed awful glad to get home. Mom had worked all night to get his old room ready because Uncle Louie hadn’t left until the last minute and even then he had acted as though he were being imposed upon; and he left a lot of work because he wasn't at all neat as people might think from them white shirts and ties he wore. Tommy ate just as much as ever, even more, and was full of life and of telling them about everything over east; and for once Pop and Uncle Louie, who still came im-for a good many meals, kept still and let him talk although Mom knew they were just listening so they eould carry it all downtown later and repeat it. Pop loafed at the garage, mainly, and Uncle Louie at the city building, so they didn’t cross each other much; but Mom could see Pop was beginning to get sick of Uncle Louie, particularly when he began to take all the credit around town for Tommy going to college. “Why, I even named the boy,” Mom heard he was telling. She hoped that wouldn’t get back to Pop’s ears. The old hustle-bustle was about the house again and Mom was kept busy at this and that but there was something satisfied inside her again; something calm and contented, And she drank up everything Tommy said about Thorndyke and things over east. He hadn’t been to New York yet but he said New York would be nothing. Every day at noon, when he got up, Mom was entranced. While he was eating and reading the morning paper she would ask him about this and that and he talked very freely and told her many amazing things. And when Mom went to the store that afternoon she always told the neighbor ladies. Mrs. Farrell tried to edge in seme things about her Joie at State, but she didn't get very far because State was nothing new and Joie didn't do anything to talk about anyhow. “Os course,” Mom said to Mrs. Farrell one day, “everybody can’t play football.” “It’s a good thing they can’t,” Mrs. Johnson said, smiling at Mom and Mrs. Farrell both. Mom wasn’t quite sure what she meant. Mrs. Johnson was two-faced, too. But even Mrs. Farrell listened hard when Mom told them about the parties. Tommy was invited to the best homes in town and in the papers the next day, on the society page, it always said, “Thomas Randolph of Thorndyke.” And there were no uuwr Thorndyke men there

although there were lots of States and Aggies and Michigans and Northwesterns and one or two Wellingtons and Notre Dames. And the name of Joseph Farrell was hardly ever there. “I never see Joie's name at any of the parties," Mrs. Johnson said at the store one afternoon just before New Year’s. “No,” Mrs. Farrell said, “Joie ain’t the kind to run around and waste his time that way.” Mom looked at Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson looked at Mom. And Butcher Brown himself cut in, while he was weighing Mom’s meat: “I think it’s good for young ones to have a good time; you should’ve seen me when I was young.” “I always believed in it too,” Mrs. Johnson said, “I was always a great dancer. Once I won a prize at the White Lily Club Ball by dancing a waltz with a glass of water on my head and never spilling it.” “Joie is working with his dad,” Mrs. Farrell said. “My lands,” Mrs. Johnson laughed, “ain't we got enough insurance men in this town already ? ” “Don't worry,” Mrs. Farrell said, "Joie’s going to be a chemist.” “Oh, yes?” Mrs. Flannigan said. Everybody was impressed but it i took Mrs. Oswald to say: "Is that '

as big as being a football player?” “Huh,” Mrs. Johnson sniffed, “you never saw a chemist’s picture in the paper, did you?” "What,” asked Mrs. Farrell, "does a picture in the paper prove? They put crooks’ pictures in the papers too.” "Yes,” Mom said, “but Coolidge and the Prince of Wales and Charlie Chaplin always have their’s in—they can’t help it just because the crooks get their’s in, too.” On their way home Mrs. Johnson asked Mom: "What is a chemist, anyhow?” “It’s something about a drug store,” Mom said. Mrs. Johnson sniffed again. “That's nothing to brag about. Look at the long hours they got to work—and the small pay. I bet my man and your man make bigger money,” That night Mom told Pop about it. He laughed. “A chemist, huh? That's a laugh. Why Jake Donaghue is a chemist over at the mill—all he does is do some things with the iron every two hours and then go to sleep until they bring some more.” • • • Towards the end of the vacation Tommy began to change some, Mom thought. Maybe it was the long hours at the parties and getting up late in the day and all that —Pop and Pete were both grouchy when they worked nights and slept days—but he got sort of touchy and began to snap and criticize. The first thing he started on was the worst; he asked Pop why hs couldn’t wear his shoes sometimes in the house instead of always going around in carpet slippers; then he sat watching Unde Louie eating with his knife one night at supper and asked him if he wasn't afzstid he’d cut his own tonsils out; and Uncle Louie got huffy and said he had used that knife a long time and never cut himself; Uncle Louie was touchy anyhow these days because he thought they didn’t want him and because he said he had given up his bed to Tommy in the middle of winter. Then Mom caught Tommy looking at her dust cap one morning while she was working; but he didn’t have to say anything because she took it off; she knew it didn’t look pretty but it kept her from washing her hair and washing her hair always gave her a cold. She didn’t mind these things though because it was plain to see Tommy was trying to improve himself and them, too. Mum knew this

. because when they went to church on Sunday he helped her very nice and held her arm and all that although she felt kind of foolish and didn’t need any help as she walked that aisle every Sunday in the year. And outside the church when Mrs. Johnson said hello to them, Tommy actually bowed from his waist down, like a German soldier in the movies, Cousin Emmy said. Mrs. Johnson was "real impressed and told it all over town; and when she saw Mom again she told her that the young girls all over were just crazy about Tommy's new manners arui that he treated them juat like they were on the stage. So Mom didn't really mind little things he corrected her on. Like he told her not to be saying “hello” to everybody, “Nobody says hello over east,” he said. “They all say ‘how-do-you-do?’” So the next time Mom came into Butcher Brown’s store and the neighbor ladies spoke to her she said: “How do you do?” They looked at her kind of funny but nobody said anything about it —until she went out. Then she saw them all start edging together like they did when they started to talk about somebody who was gone, when they couldn’t hold it in any longer.

, Mom didn’t care if they talked > about her for that. It was the proper thing to say, and it was high , time all of them were learning right manners, too. ■ And Mom was careful, after that, and listened to all the new way of talking Tommy had, and tried to I keep down trouble between him i s and Pop and Uncle Louie because j ! they didn’t take to good manners I so easy and were set in the:: ways. i There was quite a row when Tcm- , my told the two of them not to talk ' so loud, that they could be heard ; up to the corner, and that nobody cared what either one of them thought anyhow. Pop was fit to bo , tied, then, and Uncle Louie just ! grabbed his hat and overcoat and walked out with his feelings hurt. So, when Tommy went back to ■ college, Mom missed him a lot again, but she had to admit it waa more peaceful, because it was hard to teach old dogs new tricks. She had kind of hoped Uncle Louie was so mad he wouldn’t come back again to live; but Tommy had no sooner got on the train than he was in—in fact, Mom found him there in Tommy’s room already when she came hack from the train; and he even sulked like he had been put out of his own home but was trying to be patient about it. Pop was mad when he saw him back; and the two of them, having raw tempers, were soon jawing at each other. Mom, upstairs cleaning up the room Tommy had left, heard ■ them. Then she almost had to laugh; for Pop said: “Quit yelling like a sick cowpeople can hear you all the way to the comer.” Uncle Louie said: “Your son , takes his bad manners from you.” i “He might do worse and take after you,” Pop answered. Uncle Louie took his hat and left i again but Mom left the light burning in the hall and the door un- i ’ locked and, sure enough, he came back around midnight and went J softly up to bed. Mom went to ' sleep, then, glad he was in. It wasn’t quite fair to Pop, having I ’ him there, but then the poor fellow ' was old now and had no home and ! ; no trade except a politician. Mom ; couldn’t help wondering how differ- . ent Uncle Louie’s life might have , been if he had only been a Republican because they always seemed to be in office. i (To Be Continued) Copyright, 1932, by Francis Wallace 1 Distributed by King Feature* Syndicate. lac

AS foreign restrictions on our wheat mount higher, more of H piles up in this country. That is the lesson of this chart of Unitod Stotos wheat stocks and the rate of import duty Imposed by representative European consuming countries.
