Constance put her arms around her. “I know The Red Slipper is terrible. You couldn’t resist running away But don’t do it again. Van Howard just wants a good time. He’d never introduce you to his crowd or take you to see his parents. He’d he ashamed of you. Remember that. Get undressed as quietly as you can. You'll be asleep in a minute.” “It’s terrible to want to be something you aren’t and can’t ever be.” Rosalind said wretchedly. Her sleep broken by Rosalind’s coming in, it was a long time before Constance slept again. Tonight another unforgettable memory had been added to all the sweet mem ories she had of Terry. And when the leaves that were now so fresh and green were changing colors and falling, she would be his wife and nothing would ever separate them again. “That’s all I ask for the rest of my life. I’m glad I’m not like Rosalind. The summer won’t be long. It will be October soon.” But the summer had only begun. (To be continued) Cepnurht by IrU Bennett. DbUibuted by bum Future* Syndicate, Ujc

Henry Ford, decided to “pay above what we thought was the gojjig wage rate in our industry” and announced the $5 per day minimum wage as a profit-sharing system. The going wage then was 34 cents an hour, and his father added 28.5 cents to it. Ford said, and continued this policy until 1920 ‘when we established a minimum rate of 75 cents per hour or $6 pel day. The profit-sharing was changed to a straight $6 per day wage.” “This minimum prevails at present,” Ford said. “In the depression it got down to $4 a day. I am talking now, about minimum wages, not tile average.

POLICE GUARD JUGOSLAV HEAD Prince Paul Guarded After Reports Os Assassination Plot London, Dec. 6. — (U.R)'— Prince Paul, the Jugoslav regent, left for home today escorted by a strong guard despite repeated denials at Scotland yard that a plot to assassinate him had been discovered. Elaborate police precautions were in evidence at Victoria station, where the prince boarded a train for Dover at 11 a. m. Numerous special branch detectives were at the station and legation guards rode on the train. The Daily Express this morning had taken cognizance of the plot reports emanating from the United States. It said that Scotland yard operatives would meet the liner Queen Mary at Plymouth Wednesday morning to interview from the United States "who were several passengers en route here suspected of plotting against a member of a European royal household.” The plot was said to have been discovered by members of the New York police department alien squad after the Queen Mary sailed from there, and the information was relayed here by the United States state department. New York police denied the report. Princess Olga was remaining in London with their two sons who are in school. She planned to take them to Belgrade for Christmas. The prince was bound for Belgrade byway of Paris. The Jugoslav legation denied that the prince's departure had been hastened by the plot report and the United States embassy were denied any knowledge of it. Scotland yard officials ridiculed the report and said Prince Paul had planned some time ago to vernations. The third and most feasible approach. to the problem is through economic channels. The chief concern of the United States at the moment is in connection with the trade gains made in South America by the totalitarian states, especially Germany. It is considered possible that a system of loans to Latin American republics for the nurchase of United States goods will be arranged in an effort to offset the Nazi system of subsidies.

As he returns, the new deal-Democratic party is echoing with somewhat angry discussion of the weekend demand of Sen. Guffey, D, Pa., that the president seek a third term. "It is asinine statements like that of Sen. Guffey that tend to help Republicans to victory," said Sen. Wheeler, 1).. Mont., one of the leaders of the anti-new deal congressional bloc. "If I had made as bad a showing for the Democratic party in my state as was made in Pennsylvania last November by Sen. Guffey, I would talk darn small." Sen. Burke. D., Neb., another anti-new dealer, said: "The statement sounded just like Joe Guffey. I disagree entirely with the conclusions of my distinguished colleague.” These sharp expressions of opinion suggest legislative difficulties may arise unless Mr. Roosevelt adjusts administration policies in the direction of the conservative wing of the party.
