V PAGE TEN MEDPORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON. SUNDAY, JULY 7, 1935. READY MADE WIPES .BY COftALIE ..OPSIN: Laurie Moore, mailt a uidots tchen her husband uo. lost truing to fly the Pacific, works for Uark Albery, the London air plane manufacturer. Albery U much interested in Laurie; Laurlt admires Albery. The young icldoxc is just leaving Liverpool where the has gone to see her younger tister Gladys, a successful you::g dancer, open in a new show. Chapter Two COLLARED ITTAS Gladys putting lust a trifle ' too strong a mako-up on her ex quisite face? Weren't her eyes al most too bright, and always rest lessly glancing here and there, as If she was expecting something? But. then, Laurie was always a lit tle anxious about Glad. Lovely, sim ple, hlgb-splrlted Glad, only eight een, who wouldn't listen to anything Laurie said, but Insisted on learning to dance and going on the stage! Yes. she knew she was always worried. She was worried now. In spite of the nice manager and his sensible wife. She always would be worried when Clad was away from her, ever sines that awful agony of nearly losing her In Sydney, and the days of vigil by her bed In the hospital that followed. Glad was too lovely, too young, too lnnor-?nt, too fearless. Zt&fpffifi Laurie digued, an she climbed Into a coach of the train. But wbnt could she do? She was a girl of today. She knew that girls must live their own lives, like men. Must work when they had no money. Must learn to look after themselves. If only Glad wasn't so terribly lovely! Yet, therr had boon something a little different about Ulad this time. They had not seen ench other for three months. The troupe had been touring the Northern cities. Was she keeping something back? Was that the reason why Laurie had felt once or twice that she vrm with a stranger? Or was It only that Glad was grow lng up? It must be that, of course.1 Glad would never kepp anything from her. What a wonderful little beauty she was! And how she knew what to wear! She was as smart and perfoct as any rich young debutante walking down Bond Street, or lunching at the Rltz. It was frightfully clever of her to manage to look like that on her small alary, with all the 1 It t to extras that members of touring companies have to pay out. It was stupid to worry. They had both of them such a lot to be thank ful for. Laurie's luck had been amazing, aud what kindness had been shown to her these last two years! I TpHEUK seemed not to be many 1 people travelling. Laurie found an empty compart ment and put her suitcase on the rack. Then she stood in the corridor by the window of the door that she had hut, and watched the people on the platform. She was always Interested In what was going on anywhere. Bhe had, under her business-like and responsible manner, a great, an nvtd Interest In life. A keen observer like Mark Albery hod soon found that out. Just as the guard blew his whistle, he saw a boy with tea baskets on a IN SKY IS HALTED BY 2000 FT. ST. CLAIR SHORES. Mich.. July 6.

She called to the boy just as the .rain moved out. He hurried along and called out the price. She was taking the money out of her purse, the boy running beside the train, when she leaned against the door to hand It to him and take hold of the basket. The door flew open. Laurie had the sickening teelinc of falling Into space. There were shouts from the plat form. At the same moment a strong hand clutched the collar of her coat from behind and Jerked her back In the nick of time. She found herselt flung on to a seat, and the same strong hand slammed the door. "What ever made you do a fool thing like that?" asked a -nan's voice angrily. "You'd probably have been killed if 1 hadn't been here!" The train gathered speed. The boy and the tea basket were left behind. Laurie looked vacantly at her rescuer. "I THOUGHT the door was shut," I she said weakly. "If you think a car door Is abut when It Isn't, you oughtn't to travel alone' he retorted. Her temper rose. How rude he was! Of course, he had probably saved her life, or, at any rate, at her like that. "Meaning that I need a keeper?" she snapped back. "Looks like It." His back was to her, as he stood In the opposite corner. He had evi dently brought a couple of suitcase Into the compartment without bet noticing it, while she stood In tin corridor. Now he was taking them from the seat and leaving the car rlage. He said nothing as he passed her. It was very plain that he didn't want to travel with her. She was a little dazed after her narrow escape, but In a few minutes she recovered, being a healthy girl with a well-balanced nervous system. She realized that she hadn't even thanked her rescuer. She would have to look out for him later on. But be came back with his two suitcases to her compartment, and put them on the rack above the fur ther corner opposite to her. Then he went out and returned with two more, and a great bundle of papers. It was cheap luggage. Laurie noticed, and very shabby, and covered with labels of steamship companies and hotels. "Thought there was another empty carriage,' he said. "But there are people In all of them.' Again she took up the challenge In his voice. It had a ring In It that she thought would be nice, If he were not so gruff and forbidding. - "And you liked the look of them even less than you do of me?" she asked, "Anyway, I know you need look ing after," he retorted, with a grim little chuckle. Laurie was abashed. There was nothing personal about the man, nothing offensive; only that he was abrupt and detached to the point of rudeness. "I didn't thank you," she sild In her natural and delightful voice, which had the throb of an emotional nature In Its low, clear ton.

"Wrap some of that rope around your feet." shouted Henderson. "I'll try to get you down." "How long will It take?" gapped Cardonl. I "About 10 or 15 minutes." replied Henderson. "That s too long," yelled Cardonl. "I can't hold on." The rope slipped throunh his hands and he fell, the deaperate flsiliig o! hi arms visible to the crowd on the beach and to hla horror stricken wife and two small children. His body landed in a field about low feet from the point of asceiwon Sheriffs officers said Cardonl had grasped the rope as the balloon nwe.

WAGE; SECURITY PLAN FOR STAFF The security of a yearly salary eliminating the uncertainty of wages that depend on fluctuating produc tion has been assured the 700 em ployes of the Nunn-Bush Shoe Co.. according to W. P. Isaacs of the Toggery of this city. In announcing what Is considered a momentous plan, the company stated that each employe from now cn would get S3 pay checks a year. The Idea, which was developed Joint ly by the employes' shop union and the management. Is designed to give the workers an uninterrupted in come, even in vacation periods, and to "assure them an automatic ahare of the prosperity of the corpora tion." , Counting the office help, the total number of employes thus put on a yearly basis Is raised to 1000. The philosophy behind the move. In the words of President Henry L Nunn, is this: "Labor, no matter how much Jus tice there may be -In present employe-employer relations, no matter how unselfish the Industrial democ racy, no matter how beneflclent the paternalism labor today Is generally still treated as any other commodity which can be bought and sold as needed.

"When a man doesn't know how long his Job will last or how steady It will be. It Is ridiculous to say that he should be loyal to the com pany which employs him. He is real ly not a part of the company and is. In fact, selling his labor for so much a piece or so mucin an hour. "The piece work system Is a vicious thing. It In no way does away with the Jobless problem, even In good times. The cost of labor la practically fixed at so much a unit and there Is absolutely no Incentive to level out production in other words, to produce more units than are being sold at certain seasons ot the year to take care of those pe riods when they are selling more than they produce." Mr. Nunn said that a great deal of credit for this progressive step In in dustrial relations was due to Harry Bart, president, and to Arthur Beck er, business agent, of the employes' shop union.

Jk .' , AT THIRD PARTY; PORTLAND, Ore., July ".(API Upton Sinclair, sponsor of the "pro-ductlon-for-use" plan which he Is taking to Washington for a confer ence with prominent new dealers and progressive Republicans, was repre sented today as emphatically opposed to the third party movement an nounced In Chicago. Sinclair's manager. Ernest BrieeS. quoted the originator of the EPIC program today as saying his present efforts are confined solely to an at tempt to have the "productlon-for-use" program Incorporated in the 1938 Democratc platform. "Only through the Democratic par ty can such a plan be carried to frui tion. I believe an attempt to estab lish a third party, even when It is based on the 'productlon-for-use' program, Is a step tn the wrong di rection and I will not support it," Sinclair was quoted as saying. Brlggs said Sinclair, who was a Portland visitor today, is en route to Washington for a conference with leading Democrats and Republicans July 22 when he will present his plan and seek to have it embodied In the Democratic program for next year. Sinclair, In an Interview, also said he would not be a candidate for gov ernor of California again. He was defeated by a comparatively narrow margin by the Republican Incumbent, Frank Merrlam, at the last general election. Bg.iove.the surprise) The poor man.
