There bi no source of income except as provided by the various taxing laws and those paid on incomes, tariff, excise and other forms, have been far below normal, while expenses have risen continually. There is nothing to do but pay it and no way to pay it but by issuing bonds. They will be good bonds and those who get hold of them will be sitting pretty. “We thank you, Mr. President’’ was the heading to an attractive and sound advertisement publish-' ed in this paper and signed "The Schafer Store.” It expressed appreciation to Mr. Roosevelt for his leadership and was a strong bid for the right kind of sentiment. Regardless of politics, this countrymust get out of the depression and with such support as this and similar expressions over the country, . there is no doubt of the outcome. Alfred E. Smith lays down a heavy barrage against the proposed Tugwell bill to regulate foods, drugs and cosmetics in the latest issue of the New Outlook. The measure is assailed as a new evidence of the bureaucracy cropping out so frequently in various phases of the Federal administration. Mr. Smith says of the Tugwell bill in its present form: "The author himself alias stated that what he aims at is no just reform, but a revolution in the whole theory of government.” It is that fear which has created distrust of the professorial group throughout the United States. The public is not averse to I trying emergency experiments if 1 they will lead to industrial recovery. it is vigorously opposed to the definite scrapping of traditional principles and the substitution of state socialism. The administration should not deceive itself as to the temper of the nation. The Tugwell plan reflects some of the ' "brain trust” program of reshap-1 ing fundamental practices.—lnd- | ianapolis Star. o ■ ■" 4 > l Answers To Test Questions Below a.s the Answers to the Test Questions Printed tin Page Two. ♦■ — ♦ 1.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT Next day at noon Clark telephoned. Patricia sat down beside the telephone. Clark’s voice, happy and confident, came to her over the wire, Clark’s voice planning their afternoon, as he had so often planned it. Would she lunch with him? She had to clear her throat before he heard her say she would. “Then, I’ll meet you at our usual place.” “Yes, Clark.” She did not say that this luncheon would be their last together. But that knowledge was in her heart as she dressed. She selected her costume carefully, mechanically, ehoosing his favorite color, his favorite hat. As she had been used to do, she took a bus and rode down town along Fifth Avenue, brilliant in the sunshine, crowded with women shoppers. At the familiar side-street she descended, saw Clark waiting in his usual place in his car, saw him spring to the curb, as she came down the steep little flight of stairs from the bus top. A moment later his arm was linked through her arm, he was smiling down at her in the old, contented way. “You look tired, honey,” he said, as he helped her up the step of the low-swung roadster and dropped on the creaking leather cushions at her side. "I am tired.” “Is something wrong?” “Everything is,” she said and took the plunge. There must be no more meetings between them. Julian objected. “Julian objects! That’s a laugh,” said Clark, half annoyed, half amused, wholly unconcerned. The girl’s face did not lighten. "Surely," the man exclaimed, surprised, “surely you aren’t serious. You’re not going to let him get away with any such nonsense?” The silenee deepened between them. Patricia was staring at the shiny metal of the dashboard. Clark regarded her anxiously, perturbed, his forehead drawn in puzzled lines. The girl raised eyes that shone with tears. “I can’t do anything else, Clark. I—after all I live with him.” “That’s just it,” he said peremptorily and in some vague fashion, relieved. “That’s been the trouble all along. I’ve been wanting for some time to talk to you seriously. Now listen,” he resumed, proceeding in matter of fact tones, “now listen to me. There’s no reason why you should depend on Julian Haverholt another minute. You’re far too modest about your own abilities.” “It’s not a question of my own abilities.” “You wait till I finish,” he swept on, eager to present his plan. “There’s a new bridge club opening out on the Island — mother has something to do with it — I can slide you into a place there in double-quick time. In fact ” Patricia interrupted quickly. “Julian depends on me.” “What rot,” he said, laughing at her. “I never saw a man more capable of taking care of himself.” “I can’t leave him,” she persisted, frightened. “I can’t let you be responsible for getting me into your mother's club.” “Os course you can. I want to do it. Don’t talk about my responsibility. I’m surprised you could even think such a thing. Personally,” he said in a rush, “I’m glad Julian has given you this chance to stake out

for yourself. I haven’t been awfully s happy about you, Patricia,” he ad- ? mitted, looking at her gravely. “I b hate to criticize Julian.” he con- j tinned, embarrassed, “but just the i f same I’m going to. Julian may be 1 the greatest bridge player in the 1 world but there are other things in the world besides bridge?” 1 “What things do you mean?” f "Honor, for instance,” said Clark, t plowing grimly ahead despite his companion’s distress. “Y o u don’t t understand Julian’s reputation, Pa- 1 tricia. I do. People say he’s a rack- < eteer; they cal! him the Al Capone 1 of bridge.” i “He calls himself that,” put in the girl faintly. i “That’s all right for him. He’s a I man. You’re too sweet, honey, to i be mixed up with Julian Haverholt and his egotistical, deliberately 1 shocking, deliberately unmoral no- i tions of how to get ahead. I know 1 you’re loyal to him. I admire you 1 for it. But, you can't convince me i that you approve of his methods.” i “I don’t know what I approve of,” she protected, helpless and distrait. Nothing was going as she had planned it. "I know you don’t approve,” said Clark decidedly. “You’re far too fine and decent. Then, why should you suffer for Julian’s sins? There’s no reason except a sentimental reason. Believe me there isn’t. This is your chance to make a break; you’ve got to take it even if it seems hard to you. It’s natural, Patricia, it’s only right that you should think first of your own reputation.” She was thinking of nothing else. Julian held her reputation in his hands. She wanted to scream that at Clark. The words clogged in her throat. What would he think of her if he really understood the situation? He had called her fine and decent. She only said mechanically, “I’ve got to stay with Julian. I must Clark.” ’ Y ou must not. He’s given you a legitimate complaint. You can leave him tomorrow. This Long Island bridge club will accept you today —l’m sure of it I’ll telephone this afternoon.” Despair chilled the girl. She shook her bright head.
