WOMAN s\Ws Boi se IN TAVo MINNEAPOLIS, (UP) - A housewarming planned by Mrs. Frances Urzonske, 50. a widow, will be the windup of a domestic crisis that was solve I, Solomon-like, hy sawing a house in two. Mrs. Urzonske and her sister, Mrs. Frances Verbalek, owned the house. Mrs. Urzonske lived in one half, while Mrs. Vechnrek tented the other half to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Matusny and their six children. Their well regulated familie.- thrived for years until one day disaster struck. Fire, last February, buriuv) a gaping hole in the roof of the house, but the hide »a- over the portion inhabited by Mis Urzonske. The two sisters conferred. Mrs. Urzonske was for tearing the house down and buildins a new one it was an old house, anyway: Mrs. Vecharek’s rent still was being paid on the undamaged portion why rebuild? Came the Minnesota spring. Sleet, snow, rain and soot poured through the gaping hole in Mrs. Urzonske’s ioof. Summer came, with its flies and mosquitoes. Mis. Urzonske went to see a carpenter. “I own half the house,” she said, “so 1 will just have him saw my half vff, and move it over a bit and build

anew.”

For a month the carpenter worked. The half portion was moved over and built anew. It now is a bungalow, slightly colonial, housewifely and

nice, very clean.

But on the Matusny side, that’s Mrs. A’echurek’s half, the lieams, plaster and studding were left bare where the sawing took place. The door that connected the two parts swings open.

Switzerland, with the exception of H< Hand, i.- the only country which still maintains its cuirency at its prewar parity. Before the United States divorced its true currency from gold :. dollar would buy slightly more than five Swiss francs not enough to buy lunch in any middle-class resta’.isant. Now Americans get less than four francs for each dollar. This means they pay approximately two dollars for a meal which in the United States would cost 75 cents. A pair of socks,

now costs approximately $1.50, a pair j h ^ il l, ' ,e ^ a . dde ; i 1 to ^ he

of garters $2.00, a package of cig-

arets about 30 cents.

Even before the lollar depreciated, living costs in Switzerland, because of her pre-war gold parity, were higher than in most European coun-

tries.

Official figures show living costs in Switzerland aie still about 30 per cent higher than before the war. Since the peak rf prosperity in 1929 they have only dropped nn average of about 7Vi per cent. This fact has been causing thousands of tourists to spend their vacations in cheaper countries where their dollars would go farther. The American diplomatic corps was hit the hardest. Hard upon a series of cuts in their salaries ami housing allowances came the depreciation of the dollar. Practically all of them petitioned Washington to make good the difference caused by loss in exchange. .Several are on the point of resigning.

WASHINGTON, (UP)—Stolen car rings are rapidly being eliminated, according to an announcement hy the American Automobile Association, hut the problems of robbing of ear parts and stealing of ears for joy rides b th are becoming increasingly important, particularly in large cities.

SILVER BOOK • GIVES J ARGON - FOR WORLD

WASHINGTON, (UP) The country store, which listed “everything from a sewing needle to a threshing machine," had only a small stock compared with the new “Silver Market Dictionary” containing a listing of words and jargon of the world

dealing with silver.

The new dictionary, compiled by Herbert M. Bratter and published by the New Yoik Commodity Exchange, lot onl\ lists the various words and expressions commonly used in the “si!v«r trade," but gives a short history of many: gives charts, statistics ind figures connected with silver and a great deal of other information

It notes that the word “Mex." is an expression used in China and elsewhere in the Far East, originally to indicate the Mexican “dollar,” but now used to signify any silver “dollar” in use there. It is used to distinguish the difference between a figure quoted in silver, or local coinage, and gold, or U. S. currency val-

ues.

The dictionar> contains a brief digest of Mexico’s monetary system, and of the Mexican currency law of 1931. It lists the name and value of the coins of every country in the ivi.ilb using silver for basic or subsidi.uy coins, and a summary of monetary events of the world from 1786 to

They are attracted to one another immediately. Landers asks Steve *0 entertain Mary while he is out of town. The bond between the young couple grows but thoughts of Landers form a barrier. Mary tells Steve she does not want to marry Landers. One evening Steve takes Mary in his arms. Then, conscience stricken, he tells her they must not see each other again. Next day. Landers' former sweetheart calls on Mary and threatens her. Mary longs for Steve but days pass with no word from him. Finally he comes to say he is going west. She persuades him to stay.

K can be by ourselves Steve!” Her voice throbbed. "Listen — we

can go back to the hotel. There’s a suite on the fourteenth floor and the man who has it by the month is out of town for a week. I can get the master key from my office. We can have dinner up there. Nobody will know but the waiter and he won’t think anything aimut it. It will be perfectly all right, Steve.” He crushed her hand in his muscular palms. "Right,” he said,

his eyes glistening.

“Steve, isn't it wonderful?" she said exultantly with a little catching in her voice. “You see we're happy already! isn’t it silly to be broken-hearted, Steve? All you have to do is to wait at the bottom of the elevator. I’ll go up first and then you come up. Fourteen-o-six is the number. We’ll talk every-

thing over, won’t we?"

His eyebrows raised. “What’s all the conversation going to be

about?"

“You help me plan to get out of this business with Mr. Landers.” “I thought we were going to forget all about Landers and everybody else?” "Then we won’t talk about him at all. We won’t even mention him if it irritates you, Steve?” “I’m only interested in you, Mary— ” “I’m that way about you, too,

Steve.”

At the hotel, Mary walked up the stairs to the mezzanine Hour where the private offices were, and got the key that would open the unoccupied suite. From the second floor she took the elevator. Her mouth was dry. Her knees trembled with the excitement of the adventure that was upon her. She stepped inside the doorway and lit the room. It was hot and dry but when she raised the windows a breeze rippled the curtains. Looking out, thera was a golden haze against the sky from millions of electric lights. The hum from the streets reached her obscurely with but a drowsy mur-

muring.

"Steve will he here in a few minutes,’’ she told herself. “Then . . . It will be wonderful. We'll hive the whole evening to ourselves. Nobody can reach us or Isither us. I’ve never been this happy before. I always wanted to be this happy, but I never had the chance. There w as never unyliody like Steve before. This must be love ... he simply

ever did that. Maybe I am a fool to show it so much, hut I can't help being honest with him. 1 want him to know it ., She began walking around the place. There was a living room and, beyond, a bedroom. It was just like all the other suites in this hotel, but it had an especial niceness. An odd magic. Steve would be here in a minute or two now, but she was disturbed by the thought that he might have misunderstood the number. She waited but he did not come. Had he changed his mind? No —that would be too wretched. "Oh, hurry up, Steve I We don't want to waste even a few minutes.’’ She moved a little table out in the center of the room. They would have dinner served on it. It was a pretty good dinner, too. the hotel served for a dollar and a half Funny how she could be hungry like this but she was. The door opened and Steve closed it behind him. He threw his list with a wild gesture into a chair across the room. His cheeks glowed and his hair was rumpled. She stood there smiling at him and he came to her with his arms flung

wide.

She hesitated a moment, en joyed breathlessly the delicious last minute postponement of the em-

brace.

“Steve, aren't you glad we're here?” “Il'a heaven.” His arms were out wide. She smiled at him for a moment, and then came closer to him; they were locked in a golden embrace; she felt his mouth covering her own with kisses. The pressure of his lips made her head swim a curious weakness ran through her veins, but, at the same time, a new current of life welled up through her with a strong happy beat. He held her with a grip as though he would never let her go. It was all strange, yet it was precisely as she knew it would be as it had to lie. Their words were muffled and broken; she ran one of her hands through his dark hair. He held her apart and gazed with widened eyes at her flushed face. “Are you happy now, Steve?” “Yea.” Hia eyes were glowing pools of life. “Hut there's going

to be more. Mary, and still more. She was in his arms again. Ha bent his head and kissed her with stronger, closer contact. Mary, lost in Steve’s embrace, was brought back to reality by a knock at the door. They released each other, their faces flushed. "It's the waiter with the menu,”

she said.

They sat down side by side on the sofa and gayly selected the dishes. The waiter, squ»t and impassive, wrote down the order with Teutonic stolidity. Between his departure and his return laden with the weight of the dinner on the portable (able, Mary and Steve discovered, oddly, that they could find nothing to say. For the moment, the trans port of their affection had lieen rudely interrupted by the intrusion of a common-place of existence food. Lamb chops and kisses did

not blend.

They made a tentativs effort to recapture the glamorous spelt by holding hands as they talked with shy politeness. Steve mentioned aboat his college life -something

piakcs mi biai» swun. Nobody else shout a ceasaa is scenomiss. It

was no good, this haiul-holding, and Mary got up to put on the lights in the room— not the big light, just the soft one in the standing lamp with ita discreet silk shade. It made the room subdued and Intimate. But there was no background to the room; it lacked the trivial femininities that Mary could have given it. Its elegance was manufactured and harsh, public by nature. A’et It was enchanted because Steve was here with her, and they were alone. The waiter came and arranged the warm, sauced food for them. He was wholly concentrated with his task; Steve paid cash instead of signing the check. Now that the food was before them, their hunger disappeared. Excitement, repressed purposely, set up a nervousness at though a flock of humming birda was in Mary’s interior; Steve, too, merely dabbled at his food. Yrt there was a new delight over the meal a confidential, adventurous spirit of privacy. They were both in the giasp of mysterious unticspalions . . . They asseiuhled the dishes on flM portable table and Steve put it out' side into the corridor. There would be no further interruption from the waiter. There would he no relies of the meal to remind them of ugliness. In the midst of humanity they were, at last, completely isolated Steve came over and sot dovn beside her on the sofa. She dryw a little away, and there was a quick hurt in his gray eyes. "Wait, Steve.” she protested. She went to the open window and leaned toward the cool night an Doubt disturbed her faintly- did he understand that she was not, really, •.heaply flirtatious? Whatever happened. she had to retain dignity in his eyes; she had been sincere, even though she had seemed to behave lightly. He must not think of her without reaped -must never have cause to laugh at her behind her back. It was a sharp litllf worry . . . “What’s going on in that little head of yours?” he asked swiftly. “Are you beginning to be sorry al-

ready?”

“You mustn't think worse of me, Steve not ever ” “You know 1 won’t, Mary. You'll be adorable to me forever.” As be spoke, she realized with a sense of prophecy that this was the beginning tonight of a strange unexplored path. Tonight she was leaving her past behind. It was the end and the la-ginning. Filled with helplessness and fear and trembling happiness she turned t« Steve. But, it changed, he was not looking at her; he was la nding over lighting a cigarette. She studied his clear-featured face, the shape of his head with its thickly smooth brown hair. He was so flexible, so

strong.

A detached part of her mipd marvelled at her adoration of him. It had developed ao suddenly, withc ut warning. Only u few days age she had never even dreamed of t person like Steve Moore; she hgc belonged exclusively to herself. Now. she was part of him; he was a part of her. They were alike— the same feeling was in both of them. It was a kind of delirium. A beautiful, feverish dream that made aU else unreal and unimportant. o<To B« Continual) nett. Eib« Fit— * Imx
