His fears were not realized. This year he has renewed the request. The present national debt is 1271,300,000,000 and the limit is set at $275,000,000,000. The Treasury expects. expenditures to exceed income in the next sit months at a rate which would raise the present debt at least >5,700,000,t00. A reduction in government expenditures would save the day for the treasury. 11 1 fr l Tht Hungry Bear:— Communist China is being forced to export food to Russia despite a serious shortage of food at home. Food riots by peasants In three provinces—Kansu in the northwest and Hunan and Kwangsl in the south haye been report- '• ed. Tor the last eight months the Reds have compelled peasants to deliver 86 per cent of all grain crops kt a tok pHce to the government. This grain has been used to pAy for imported products needed in the industrialisation and armament scheme of the Red ruldrs. Russia has frequently made great promises to the people of China. It is now apparent that ahy aid the Chinese have received has been paid for dearly. Red conquest of Indo-Chiba may mean some relief from tbe food shortage. But there can be little real hope that tbe Chinese people will get enough to eat when It is the policy of their government to consider the needs and tbe Wiebes of the Soviet Union before the heeds of their own people. . ?. <

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE THERE were library books on antiques. She brought them Lome. She read them and made notes and learned a good deal about Queen Anne chairs and the Dutch influence and cabriole legs and Sheraton simplicity and Philadelphia highboys and claw and ball feet and Empire monstrosities and ogee mirrors and Meissen plates and Sheffield silver and Sandwich glass. But she did not know any mote about running an antique business than she had before. And here it was December. Winter, her work period, was upon her. Before she knew it, spring would be here, when her book must be completed. Yet she had not written a page—not a line! What ought she to do now? It was Diane who unconsciously helped solve the problem tor Joan. She stopped in one Saturday , »oon after the Thanksgiving holiday in early December and was idly watching Juan make an apple pie. “Have you begun your book yet?" she asked. “No." Joan was silent a moment “I’m stuck. Stuck before I've begun. How do you like that?” And she began cutting little holes th the pastry and then deftly slid her pie into the oven. “Ten of four. Di. Fifty minutes And It’ll be done. Eton't let me forget Come on into the living room now and be comfy and tell me what I’m going to do. Tempos la fugitlng and I’m fidgeting* Her light words did not wholly conceal her concern. “If 1 dared, Td start an antique business myself and learn the hard way. But that takes Capital, a plethora of which we have not." They were back in the living room by this time and Joan waved Diane to the Boston rocker. “1 mtes my swAn-arm," she said. “Not that Pm not grateful to your mother for buying it No, you sit there, Diane. I’ll take this Captain’s chair, isn’t it a nice one? I found it up th Mother’s attie last week when 1 went up Lheie to hunt for my skate* it was way back under the eaves, and broken. Two legs off. But Todd fixed them and now I’ll refinlsb it." She dropped into it and patted its arms. "One more chair which we sure needed. What la it you’re trying to say—if you can stop my torrent of words?” "About your book, Jo. 1 Was wondering—l mean—well, how do people start an antique business, anyways Do they borrow, do you suppose? From banka? I should think with Dad a director tn the •M Aeta Somethihg might M worked out. Do you want mo to sound hint Cut? No harm in asking, you know. No harm in questions.* But Joan shook her head. “No. Thanks, Duma, but no. Banks require Collateral for loans and we have ftotfiifig We dan put up." She paused, then went on slowly. "But

Til go see that nice little Mrs. Cochran over in Riverdale, put my cards on the table, tell her Just why 1 want to know things and then ask for Information.” Diane clapped her hands. “Oh, good! That’s a wonderful ideal You mean the little woman who sold you your set of maple chairs —oh, 1 bet anything she’d help you and be glad to! She’s a sweet person. And she admires you tremendously, now that she knows you write.” “You think so?” “I’m sure of it. I bet she'd be thrilled to feel she was helping you. She’d think she was taking a part in the book's creation. She’d feel almost like an author herself Or perhaps like the heroine! Honestly, 1 believe you’ve hit on the solution." "1 hope so," Joan said, seeing a nebulous idea that had been witn her for a long time taking shape at last “Maybe I could actually get a Job there. Help her out on the days when she has to go of! buying, 1 mean. Take care of her shop for her or something.” “Maybe you eould.” Diane’s eyes sparkled suddenly. “Lookit!

A* she opened it she heard a bell tinkle in the back of the nouse and A voice called, “That you, Joan?" “Yes, Mrs. Cochran, I’m here!" "Good.” Mrs. Cochran followed her voice to the front hall where Joan stood waiting. She was a pieaaant-looking little woman with a pink face, very finely lined, under an aura of white fluffy hair. She had on her hat and was buttoning tier coat as she walked. "I'm glad you got here before I left," she said. *T wanted to tell you a few things. There's a buyer coming this morning—a picker. She's one you’ll have to watch. I don't like her but 1 have to do business with her because she Gckh up for some big Muses in ew York.

In effect, the new rules would cut down payments by hundreds of dollars and reduce monthly payments by providing a longer period of time to repay the loans.

Straightening up, she began pulling them on, her face thoughtful. “I guess that’s all,” she said, after a minute. “Maybe you’ll get some time to write today. 1 hope so." Her eyes met Joan’s in a friendly, admiring way. “Goodness! To think of my having a writer for a helper! Guess I'm pretty classy. But I certainly am glad you turned up last week when you did. I was at my wit's end. Mrs. Slocum has always tended my shop the days 1 went off to buy and to have her, move away was the like the end of the world for me—especially just before the Christmas season. And 1 ean’t pay enough tor most people to be Interested in the job. It has to be someone that really likes antiques. Well, I’ll get started. There's a kettle of soup bubbling on the stove. It’ll probably be boiled down good about noon. Help yourself. You’ll find Crackers or bread —whichever you want —there in the pantry. And you might turn off the gas under the soup then, if you will. It’ll be done. I’m sure." “All right. And thank you I hope you find some treasures today.” “1 hope so." “And don’t worry. I'll take care of everything." "1 know you will. The picker's name, by the way, is Miss Blavonski. Brrl It’s cold out, isn’t it! Well, good-by, I’ll be back around six." She was gone. The bell tinkled in the rear of the house as Joan closed the door. Then she was alone for the first time. With Christmas only a few weeks away, business had been brisk, but Joan had observed that most of the transactions were u? small items priced under ten dollars. “That's true," Mrs. Cochran had agreed. “Furniture moves slowly. That’s why you have to be careful when you buy 1L You mustn't pay too much for it, because you have to remember that your money may be tied up in It for a year or more. 1 have to figure on the cost of repairing and refinlshlng, too, since 1 have no husband to help me. I’m a widow, you know, and 1 have to send everything that needs doing over to a cabinet man. Believe me, it costs a pretty penny. But if you’re really thinking of going into this business, you Will be better off than 1, because Todd and you together can handle your own reamahing.” "I’m not really going into it," Joan explained. "At least not yet. 1 Just want to learn about it so I can write a book about it.” “1 know. But some day you'll be th it, toe, 1 teL" 1, (Io Be LonlinwuU
