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.

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

.. She would like a tea basket.
. bad had no lunch.
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.

shouted Henderson.
Cardonl muttered something about
being caught in the rope at the
take-off.
"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

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.
"The only way to change that la
to adopt a plan which will make
labor an Integral part of the busi

ness organization, with the same
mutual Interest In the sale of the
products as that which the manage
ment has.
"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.

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.
