After the difficulties are all ironed out at Anderson, they will realize that the whole business has been foolish and that business matters should be and can be adjudicated in a calm and fair and amicable manner. Spring is only a month away and it's time to think about cleaning up, remodelling, repairing or building. This is a good year to do it. You can finance a reasonable proposition and prices are the lowest' now they will be in several years. Those newspapers which declare that it may be impossible to secure good lawyers to accept places on the supreme court if the proposals of the president are enacted into law, evidently overlook the fact that the jobs will be for life and carry $20,000 per year salary. The city of Anderson, with its large industries is learning that a center of that kind can have its difficulties. When things are running smoothly, it's great but the past, few weeks have been filled with dread and worry. It's a good tiIHS for those with common settse to do a Governor Murphy turn. Over a hundred thousand Gen-' eral Motors employes will return to their jobs tomorrow and more during the week, an incident of delight for them, their families and the public in general for it means an added payroll of many hundred thousand dollars a day, a decided help in the program to restore prosperity to this fair land. The tragic death of Roy Dubach, one of the best known citizens of t*ie county, has caused much sorrow. He was ueld in high esteem and his service was often sought by those interested in matters pertaining to his section of the county. Active in business, in civic affairs, in politics, a veteran of the World War, he was widely known and admired and he will be sadly missed. The recreational building nearing completion at the General Electric plant in this city will be a wonderful club house that every one connected with the industry may well feel proud of. It will provide many happy hours for the employes of the factory and their friends and will be the scene of many worth while events in the years to come.

I I When you stop to thiuk that 38,i 500 people met death in the Unit--1 ed States last year as a result of i automobile accidents, you realize I the seriousness of any proposal or method of traffic that would lessen that result. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia reduced . casualties last year seven per cent ! and increased gasoline consumption . ten per cent and each state which. made the showing has carried on ' a complete program of safety engineering, law enforcement and i safety education. Work is starting on the addition to the Cloverleaf Creameries in this city and when completed it will add much to this modern plant. It will provide additional space wherein the company can employ more workers and increase their production. The company is progressive and is recognized as one of the best institutions here or any ! where else. The improvements are appreciated and we hope they! continue to prosper and grow to ' the advantage of their thousands of customers in this section. Accidents over the week-end indicate that we may expect the usual run during the year. Just what can be done to prevent the long list of casualties has never been discovered but there are. many who believe that some means of governing speed, will be the. only method that wifi lower the number of serious accidents. The legislature is discussing several proposed laws and Governor Townsend is making a study of the problem. It is hoped that something, worthwhile develops as a a result., Mayor Buckner of Bluffton lias sent an appeal to Congressman i Earley, asking his aid in blocking the order for dredging the Wabash river through this county, creating additional flood hazards for territories effected. The supreme court I has held in favor of the petitioners and Mayor Buckner now seeks federal interference because the : improvement is interstate, giving . that authority to national agencies.' Many of those assessed as well as others affected, will ho'pe for successful action on the mayor's ap peal. Public sentiment here as near as it can be ascertained, is favorable to an age limit for Judges of the U. S. supreme court while not inclined to be 100% for'the additional six as proposed. Most of those to whom we have talked feel that the court can be made unwieldly. •■‘nd that increasing the number would add to the efficiency. There is no doubt that in this age of progress, the greater number of 1 people who study our form of government, feel that the supreme court, our last tribunal in matters of importance, should be composed of men who are active in mind and body. Those who have visited the court are impresesd with the extreme age of the members and| I surely the strain upon them is severe. The entire problem -and ’it is that -will of course be de- 1 termined in the right manner j eventually but the soonr it is done, the better it may be for this rapid- . ly changing era.

[’LUXURY MODEUVrI&I n -1 -■ ——

Fi ■■ CHAPTER XX , The season of high summer in i the South had become fashionable, | especially among Americans. It would be great fun to have Jimmy as one o f her guests at the villa, ■ more especially as he had never been abroad before, and would be I impressed by everything. Enchanted nights in the Cannes < Casino, and in the Casino at Juan-les-Pina. They would dine al fresco I on the terrace, with divine tzigane music playing, and dance together with the soft airs of the South fanning them, and the Mediterranean splashing gently alongside. There would be yachting on the blue waters. They would put in at Monte Carlo, and at the quaint harbor of Villefranche. There was a darling, quaint little inn on the quay, there, where one ate marvellous bouillebaisse and shrimps. They would motor to the famous restaurant just outside Beaulieu, where one ate food that could be bettered in no other part of Europe. There was the ideal inn of the mountains, too, where one could survey the coastline by moonlight, and watch the lights spring up on the yachts at anchor, and where they served delicious wines and food. The usual American crowd would be at Cap D’Antibes. She would go swimming with Jimmy in the deep pools directly beneath the little Yacht Club in which one met so many famous folk at luncheon. The “Cap” was fashionable. It was a far cry from this boy’s shabby studio in Greenwich Village. She started to tell him all about it now ... Suddenly he interrupted her with: "Great heavens I My clock has stopped! What time is it, Mrs. Vandaveer?” Through her lorgnette she glanced at her jewelled wrist-watch. Odd that he was so brusque! “A few moments after sixthirty--'' He jumped to his feet, exclaiming: “Good Lord! I’m an hour late for my appointment!” Mrs. Joel Vandaveer was chagrined. Her husband being out of town for the evening, she had planned to take Jimmy Randolph home to her penthouse for dinner. Now after a scant ten minutes or m> in his studio—he was going to be off like a deer! The fact that he seemed terribly upset about missing his engagement i ... or anyhow, being an hour late for it. .. convinced her that it was with a woman. Luana Waters had brought him to her cocktail party. Was he ipria of the girl? She said now, ever so sweetly, and watching his face keenly: “My car's downstairs. I’ll run you wherever you want to go.” He hesitated. “But I shall have missed her by now.” How naively boyish and undiploI matic of»him, she thought, half amused, and half dashed. Had he no aavoir-fairaf Didn’t he know better than to drag in one woman before another . . . particularly when that other had condescended to visit him on shabby Elizabeth street, which was such an utter con- ' trast to her own milieu? “Then telephone her?” she suggested, adding, with a touch of malice: “Better think of some good , fib.” “I have no telephone,” said JimI my frankly. He still looked wor- : ried. What on earth would Luana . think? “Then if you can’t reach her, ■ drop her a little note and plead an unavoidable engagement?” In the deepening twilight she gave a long, meaning look at the young man. It seemed to challenge him with her | sex-appeal and beauty. It said | plainly: “Girls are plentiful in this town as blackberries on country ! hedges, but there’s only one Lor- • raine Vandaveer . . .” He did not catch the full import, but enough to know that he must seem churlish to this elegant creai ture. How amazed he would have been had he realized that in the long pause that followed, Luana herself was looking at them with amazed eyes through the skylight window of the studio! "Now what can we do to put matters right?” asked Lorraine briskly. “7 fee! responsible for keeping ynu here, though as a matter of fact If your appointment was an hour ago. I’vs only been here about fifteen j minutes."

Thin is true even though the danA car inspected often mean* a example, traveling over a narrow, I winding, mountain road is as a rule comparatively safe foi ln-io the, motorist usually takes extiaordinary precaution. bn the other hand, a great many accidents may occur under sate conditions because the motorist, lulled by the sense of false security, lets down his guard for the time being and forgets all about safety. — o— HEAVY TRAFFIC l CON TIN UED FKOM HAUfc ONE ) killed instantly and four other members of the family were injurI ed when a Big Four train struck their automobile at a crossing near Anderson. The injured are Howard Hoppes, driver, a son, Junior, and two step-children. Mary N. Shafer, 11, and Paul Shafer, 14. Another train-auto collision at a street intersection in Marion resulted in the deaths of John Wagner. 60, and two grandsons, Phillip A. Wagner, 6, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wagner, and Harold Wray. Mrs. Zelda Duke, 35. was killed instantly when the automobile in which she was riding collided with a parked truck on the highway , near Princeton. Arthur Deckard, 3, died from in

“I’m delighted yen came here,” ■ said Jimmy lamely, and unconvinc- i ingly. She seized her chance. "As a , matter of fact, I was hoping you might be free to come up to the house and dine?” “That’s kind of you, but I’ve already made an engagement for din- ; ner and the evening." His worried eye fell on the bathroom sketch for the advertising agency. Whatever happened, he must get it there by seven, at latest, or he would be the loser by thirty dollars, which was . unthinkable! “If you would be so good as drop me on West 46th off Broadway? I have to leave my drawing at a place there.” “Delighted,” said Lorraine, rising, “Let’s be off.” They went down to the waiting car. The chauffeur sprang from his seat and opened the door for them. Jimmy hesitated for a moment. "Could you drop me just for a second at a house that lies directly behind this one? It’s awfully hard to find and I’m not certain of the number." He looked at the chauffeur. “I can direct you as we go." Then they were off. But a traffic policeman stopped them at the intersection. “There’s no left turn here.” They had to go back. “I’m afraid I've an appalling ‘bump of locality,”’ said Jimmy, distressed. To get to Luana's building from a different approach confused him. They had to drive all the way round the block. “It’s down a little lane somewhere . ..” Lorraine laughed good-naturedly. “The old parts of Greenwich Village are like a Chinese puzzle. It’s as i intricate as round The Olde Curiosity Shop in London!” But find it they finally did, at ten minutes of seven. Jimmy raced up the stairs to the . top apartment. His knock remained i unanswered. Luana must be out, waiting for him somewhere. He . hurried back to the car. The chauffeur was a fast driver, i and a clever one, but it was ten I minutes after seven when they drew > up at the agency on West 46th street. Fortunately, the cleaning ■ woman was still in the office. She ■ admitted him through a side door, and he left his drawing in its ap- ' pointed place. : Meantime, Mrs. Vandaveer was • wondering whom he had been exi pecting to see in the funny old tumble-down house on the shabby i street? A handsome, hard-up youth in Greenwich Village was one thing she might stoop to conquer, but to I have some shabby, tiresome girl ’ for a rival was “quite another pair i of shoes,” as the French say. She would cure him of his infatuation, s if it was that.... . “I’ll say goodby now, and thank • you,” said Jimmy at the door of the f limousine, hat in his hand. ; “Drive home with me and at least t have a cocktail,” Lorraine sug--1 gested. > He hesitated. 1 She took matters into her own i capable, predatory hands. “I'll tell - you what we’ll do. While we’re having our cocktail at home, Lewis - the chauffeur will deliver a mes- - sage from you to the person with i whom you had your appointment. Is that okay?” - It sounded feasible. She had - been sweet and gracious to him. a driving him here with his drawing not to mention scouting round ', Luana’s building. To refuse would n be churlish, so he got into the car. e Arrived at the penthouse, he ■„ wrote a note to Luana, asking her t please to call him at the telephone r number that, with the address on i! upper Park Avenue, was printed on s the notepaper. y Lewis went off. Jimmy and Mrs. •- Vandaveer went into the bar. Jimmy was angry with himself for not t, haying let the latter know his apt pointment had bo«n with Luana. i- But something held him back. Subconsciously he sensed that it would n be a wrong move for Luana, that g this woman who had helped give f Luana her initial chance in the city d might in some way resent it, since v she herself desired his company this evening. > He was in no wav conceited, ber. yond what is natural in the healthy u young male. f But there was something about >, Mrs. Vandaveer’s attitude that a would make it difficult to confide in her about any woman.
