NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE THERE were twenty first-class passengers on lhe Miranda. The government official who had canceled th> stateroom occupied by Mona and Lottie was represented by another offieial quartered in the sec-ond-best stateroom. He was an attractive young chap. Yvho said modestly that he was “in textiles." When the Miranda reached his island, it developed that he was quite a personage. A nice old couple taking a belated honeymoon walked about the deck hand in hand. A younger couple, not so amusing or interesting, permitted the entire ship's company to know that they were going south on an important mission, collecting tropical fish for a museum. The consul's nephew was returning to one of the French islands after what iso a steward confided) had been a fruitless search of New York for an earlier passenger with whom he had fallen in love.

Two middle-aged women, seeking a home where the exchange would maW> their meager income adequate, were among the passengers. An enthusiastic auto salesman was en route to introduce a newly patented tire lock throughout the islands, a mission scoffed at privately by the ship's officers. The natives, said the officers, never would arouse themselves to the labor of adjusting a spare tire, much less the task of stealing one from another car. And then there was the ship's doctor, to be found at almost any hour of the day or evening at Lottie's side. “Dr. Allen isn’t the regular ship’s doctor,’' Lottie told Mona the second day out. “This line doesn’t use them. They distribute vacation trips to bright boys just out of hospitals. This keeps the ship doctoring business on its toes. The doctors are likely to have a touch of seasickness themselves and have sympathy for the rest of us.” Dr. Allen, it seemed, had much sympathy for Lottie. They strolled the deck, sat for hours over cooling drinks, leaned at. the rail in joyous interchange of flippancies. Mona, not quite escaping the difrulties of the voyage, lay back in her deck chair, pale and smiling at them.

tt tt tt TWO days out, Capo Hatteras. Th" Miranda pitched and rolled and pitched attain. The gayrties of banjo and lilting songs from the second cabin quieted. “We haven't dropped them off. have we?” Lottie inquired of the physician, pointing aft where the quiet of the tomb reigned. At that moment a bell announcing meal time in the second cabin rang briskly. There was no answering shout. Eatting was far from the program of the day. “All sick,” the doctor observed (sympathetically. “But by Saturday thry'll be out." Lottie watched the second cabin quarters riding and falling with every pitching of the boat. It was likge the swaying of a see-saw.

“How do they stand it," she murmured sympathetically. “It's certainly terrible to be poor!" “You are one of the few wealthy women I’ve ever heard say that,” Dr. Allen observed. “So you think I’m wealthy, do you?” Lottie thought. Aloud, she did not say anything. •If I could get her to marry me.’ the doctor was musing, “I'd be on easy street. It takes years to build up a practice.” But he did not persuade Lottie to marry him. and on the fourth day out she reserved her attention for the auto salesman, who told her

that she really should buy a aiew car. Friday the air was warmer and the ship's officers appeared in white. Sunday it was still warmer. The clouds were fleecy and low hung. The turquoise sky seemed almost within reach if one could only stand tiptoe on the topmast. The waters, on which golden seaweed floated, had turned to deep indigo. Men passengers appeared selfconsciously in white linens and sports shoes. One islander wore a pith helmet as he strolled the deck in the middle of the day. u * a AND then on Monday morning an emerald island appeared ahead. An emerald, set in silver sands, floating on the sapphire sea “I don't wonder the boys adore the tropics,’’ Mona breathed. The Miranda docked at St. Thomas and the two girls went ashore to buy a stock of French prrfump and fruit. The doctor drove them to the beach past Lindberghs bay, where the aviator had made a "happy landing,” where they swam in the sapphire water and sat on the silver beach while native boys scrambled up the trees for cocoanuts. Then they were off again just after luncheon. At St. Croix they did not dock but anchored far out in the harbor. Native police swarmed aboard, urging order among the native boatsmen who appeared to row the passengers ashore.

“Imagine coming all this way to row ashore in a boat named Broadway!” said Lottie in disgust. She and Mona hired The Sea Gull and were invited to tea by a passenger who had taken the boat at St. Thomas. They returned to the ship after dark. The boatsmen sang—and charged double fare in lieu of sufficient applause. There was a slight breeze. The boat Swayed up and down, its lantern rolling. The quartermaster helped them aboard. A little later dinner, now quaintly tinged with tropic offerings, was served. St. Mitts. Nevis. Heat and more heat. Native women appeared displaying baskets of guavas for sale. Native boys put on diving exhibitions. Mona’s plan was to proceed to Trinidad and at Port of Spain to inquire for airplane accommodations

MOT A DAT BY BRUCE CATTON IN “Peace Veterans,’’ Roger Burlingamp. former lieutenant in the 308th machine gun battalion in the A. E. F„ presents an ex-service man's criticism of the bonus racket. Racket, in Mr. Burlingame’s opinion is just about the word for it. Drawing illuminating comparisons between the way in which World war veterans are getting federal funds and the way in which the G. A. R. pension bills were put over, he presents a number of figures that make highly interesting reading. His complaint is that a constantly increasing share of the money now being paid out goes to men who suffered no war disability whatever. He points out, for instance, that veterans’ administration hospitals now contain far more non-war cases than war cases; that an emergency officer retired for 30 per cent disability can draw $l5O a month, whereas the widow of an officer killed in action gets only S4O; that by 1945 under present laws, $5,000 will have been spent on each veteran. He complains, also, that the growth of the bonus racket inevitably will destroy all public sympathy for the veterans themselves, and it is as an ex-soildier that he writes his book; an exsoldier who wants to convince his buddies that “paid patriotism no longer is patriotism” and that it is to their own self-interest to put the bonus racket where it belongs. His book is eloquent and convincing. Published by Minton, Balch, & Cos., it sells for sl.

Help—Help—Help? DESPITE assertions of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation that small banks are being accorded aid, this is'not true as far as Indiana is concerned, according to records of the state banking department. During the operations of the corporation. only two Hocsier institutions have received Federal aid and they are national banks. Thousands of depositors who hoped that the receivers and liquidating agents of defunct state banks would be able to make loans on frozen collateral have been disappointed, records reveal. And knowing the history of Federal aid to state banks, Thomas D. Barr, deputy state banking commissioner, was warranted in assuming an ironic tone in answering the request of Federal home loan bank heads that a sixty-dav moratorium be declared on mortgage foreclosures. “We are pleased to note that the home loan bank board and the comptroller of currency have adopted the views heretofore held by this department,” he said in a telegraphic answer. “We would be pleased to see some loans made to closed Indiana state banks, which so far has not been done,’’ added the message.

tt tt tt In commenting today. Barr declared “I have seen no need for hasty foreclosure of mortgages—the mortgagee and every one in the state is better off when he is allowed to run his farm or operate his property and pay interest. There is no need in killing the spark of hope. “We constantly have advised re ceivers and liquidating agents of closed banks to refrain as much as possible from foreclosing. “But if it wex'e not so tragic, I could laugh at the type of aid the closed state barj.s have been given by the Federal government. “At great cost to the institutions, the receivers and operators of open banks filed requests with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for loans on collateral. "After several months’ delay, this department got a letter asking for an opinion from the attorney-gen-eral. James M. Ogden, on legality of making such loans to Indiana banks.” Records reveal that Ogden wrote an opinion setting forth the legal precedents for Hoosier banks to avail themselves of federal aid. This was sent to Washington and from then on nothing further has been heard and none of the applications has been acted upon. The special legislature also passed a bill, which was signed by Leslie, enabling state banks to avail themselves of government aid, but this also doesn't seem to have speeded up relief.

Policy of the finance corporation must be, according to its Indiana record, embodied in the slogan of “Millions for giant corporations, but not a cent for little depositors.” ITICKEfts A four and one-quarter pound roast cost 28 cents a pound. When roasted, the meat shrunk to three and one-half pounds. \\ hat would he the cost, per pound, of the meat eaten? 3o Answer for Saturday In a class of 39, m whkh there are five more girls than boys, there must be 22 giris and 17 beys.

Claimed delightedly. “It's from Sallic! She says a cable and a letter have arrived from Steve!” “Tell her to send the latter by air mail to Port of Spain and relay the cable,” the doctor suggested. “It may be something we should know,” Mona added. “Steve hasn’t written much beforet has he.

Until then there was nothing for the girls to do but wait with as much patience as they could manage. Mona and Lottie both tried to conceal their restlessness.

WHITE WHALES CAUGHT Harpooned by Canadians and Fed to Sled Dogs. By T. ror* Special THE PAS. Manitoba, Aug. 29. Residents at Churchill, the new seaport on Hudson bay, are catching many white whales with homemade harpoons. The meat is used to feed sled dogs, which still provide the main means of transportation in the far north during the winter * months. It is estimated that there are several million white whales in Hudson bay and efforts are being made to deplete the numbers, because they destroy vast quantities of fish which have a commercial value.
