CHAPTER IX , Kreen double-decker
HE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL MAN MEET IN WASHINGTON' The idea of a. democratic government's insisting on. em-' )loyers paying a minimum wage is not new. New Zealand! nade the first mild attempt in 1894. Australia followed with
i tougher law m 1896. ' " .: Massachusetts, textile and mill center, made the first ;tab at doing something about minimum wages in the, United States in 1912, two years before Henry. Ford announced . i j ? i . p - i i - :
us revolutionary iaea oi raising wages ana lowering prices. ... Federal Child Labor Laws and other such social legislation had been thrown out by the Supreme Court so many times that it was not until after the Great American Depres-. sion that the idea of abolishing the sweat shop was tackled j seriously in .Washington. y j It was rather typical that America went from one ex-1 reme to another. Employers had been caught in the vicious 1 :ycle of cutting wages to meet competition from many other Employers who mostly did not want to cut wages. The Blue J
jagie ana uenerai iron ranis riugn donnson appeared on me American scene with the NRA plan of placing a floor under tages, a ceiliriir -over hours and preventing price cutting-all hrough industry-labor agreements., But the nine old men of he United States Supreme Court made the Blue Eagle a dead duck in the, Schechter sick chicken case. . U. S. Justice Hugo Black, then a U. S. senator, had long yearned for a simple federal law to fix maximum hours and minimum wages. After the 1936 election, and after, the congressional ruckus over the Iioosevelt proposal to make dras
tic changes in the Supreme Court, the Congress finally got around to the Black proposal which is now the law of the land. But the present Fair Labor Standards Act with, a minimum of 40 cents an hour.and 40-hour week for. Americans doing an interstate business was having tough going in 1938; Much talk was heard around Washington that the temper of the American people was becoming more conservative as the depression lifted. k ( ( : .;, . . , .. Sen. Claude Pepper is now sponsoring new and large amendments, and is arguing .that high wages will force the South. to, become more efficient, thus more productive and thus more prosperous.. President , Truman and various members of his cabinet'are committed to a program of abundant
production and distribution which can raise
The green double-decker offtrially still headed for "Washington Square" sped southward through Pennsylvania, and Delaware. They crossed into Maryland, toward evening, and stopped for a road-side inn's hasty dinner, and a general freshening, leaving the nautical hitchhiker still asleep in the bus. Over dinner, they discussed tha trip ahead, and it was agreed that Mr.
the next lap, re-
ho . needed a rest.
They hoped to spend the night on
the Virginia side of the Potomac, at some tourist camp. It was a gay meal, on the whole, and Ginger's spirits rose. With the coming of dusk a neV feeling of unreality, of adventure had taken -hold of her. New York and JRonny ,. Rockaby seemed very far away, and these queer people ; suddenly like old friends she had known for yesirs. When they boarded the bus again, and Mr. Evergreen took the wheel, he discovered that he had no driver's lieense, and" Tony obligingly lent him his own, , just in case they encountered a traffic officer. None of them could afford to pay fines. . . . , Mr. Briggs awakened, after they were on their way again. As he refreshed himself from his jug, he heard Mr. Smock, declaiming to an admiring Desdemona. .. - ,.. "Clyde Beatty? Bah! a showman, nothing more!" declared the retired lion-tamer. "Handling , the big cats takes psychology that's all. You've got to show a lion that you're his master. Why, how do you think Frank Buck gets away with V .... , - i Mr. Briggs intervened, brightening. . :- V "Ah,, my friend you're a big game hunter?".-. . - ."I'm a lion-tamer by profession," said Mr. Smock modestly, "but I've hunted them in my time.

"What?" .." "That same tiger. And what do
you think he was doing?"
"What?" asked Mr. Smock, sus
piciously.
"He was practicing up on his
springing, said the yachtsman. "He was that mortified, himself."
Mr. Smock snorted, Miss ,Love
sniffed, and Ginger and Tony coughed to choke their laughter.
Mr. Briggs, yawning compla
cently, pulled hii yachting cap over his eyes, then, and went gently to sleep. .
It was after midnight when the
share-expensers, together with the slumbering yachtsman, Gertrude and Casanova, crossed the Potomac
into Virginia.
The first day's lap was done Mr. Briggs was. the first to
awaken, early the next, morning, and found himself alone. The green bus was parked oft" the road before a tiny tourist cabin camp, and not a soul was in sight. The master of the Little Casino was not yet entirely sober; in fact, he was in the early throes of a severe hangover, ana whenever he experienced this phase Mr. Briggs's mind was even more befogged than when he was
pleasantly half-seas over. Such a
situation called for another- drink, if one were not to become dangerously sober; from force of habit,
Mr.. Briggs looked around for his
brown jug, and his bleary eye, fo
cussing with difficulty, fell on the portable goldfish bowl. . . After much soul-searching and discussion, Miss Love had decided to leave her" precious Gertrude and her bowl in the bus, instead of taking them, into the cabin she was
sharing with Ginger, because of the potential dangers of a possible change of temperature. Dropping a tiny pinch of Epsom Salts into the water, she had left Gertrude alone, with much misgiving. If she could only have guessed of the horrible
experience that was tc await her
pet, she would never have slept a
wink that night. B'A she could not

shuddered then, and still (holding
the ' powl . by ' me leather handle, stepped .outside, and crossed the
road, swaying slightly. He stood
beside the. .road, a pitiable figure,
with his thumb in the air,'' jerking
southward. ' . '

to a stop, and Mr. Briggs, the port

Drake. The Evergreens had been the first to retire to their own cabin
smug in the mistaken thought that
Gertrude and her valuable bowl were to spend the night within Miss Love's maternal reach.
While the Evergreens were mak
ing their morning toilette, and matutinal sounds were coming from
the bachelor ladies' cabin, Tony
greeted the tourist camp proprie
tor; a lanky, unshaven personage
who appeared yawning, sleepily.
Can we get any breaklast
around here?"
"Nope," . said the man. "'if,
there's a lunch-wagon near corners, just around the bend there, and down the side-road."
Ginger appeared nd overheard. "I'm dying for a cup of coffee,"
said she.
"Let's walk over and get one,
while the others get dressed," suggested Tony.
"Why don't you?" agreed the lion-
tamer. "Casanova and I will wait
for Miss Love."
Ginger was agreeable, and she
and Tony set off. It was a lovely Autumn morning, and their appetites were sharp. In a few minutes they had disappeared.,
The lion-tamer, who had devel
oped a "crush" on Desdemona, stood coyly near her cabin as she dressed, and made conversation through the
window. Casanova went prowling
for a breakfast of field-mice. . . .
The Evergreens appeared. Their
cabin was nearest the road and the parked bus Desdemona's, the farthest .inside the camp. Evergreen was carrying their bags.
Suddenly, as they approached the
road, two open automobiles, one behind the other, swept southward
down the road to a halt beside the bus. They were both crowded with men, some of them carrying guns.
Mortimer Evergreen, in full view,
dropped his bags to the ground and went very white. His wife gave a little scream and clutched his arm.
A moment later the bus and the
couple were entirely surrounded. A
man with a star on his vest snapped a question. "This bus beio'ng to you?" "Why, no," said Mortimer." We're just passengers." "Got a guy named Evergreen and his wife with you?" snxik-d the sheriff, and answered his own question. , "Sure you have where are they are you Evergreen?" The man who had stolen the Botikheer diamond in broad daylight was not one to lose his poise now. . "Of course '' not," said ' hei 'He' jerked his thumb backward at thetourist camp. "You'll find the Evergreens in the last cabin back there; she's inside dressing, and he's outside playing with his cat." The sheriff and his men started forward, but suddenly the former stopped. "How do I know you're not lying?" he demanded. "Who an you?" "My name's ' Taylor Anthonj Taylor," said Evergreen smoothly He pulled Tony's driver's license ou'of his pocket; he had suddenly re
membered that he had not returnee it to Tony, the night before. "Here', my driver's license." The sheriff glanced at it. recd-th name, - ... . "Okay, then saatwo wait here !' (To be corvtinnrd) Copyright br Polan Plr.!L ; Dlitrtbnteil bj King Faturei SyniilateTac

j fires, during . 1944. Persons from all walks of life were responsible for starting these. The ' apalling fact about these fires is that 99 of them are preventable. Carelessness and thoughtlessness are
responible for most of them. Incendiarists start less than five per cent of our fires. Instead it is the good 'honest citizen those who smoke, those who burn brush on a dry windy day, those who burn roadsides, those who leave campfires unattended, those who carelessly drop lighted matches or toss them from car windows; these start most of our
