His mood soared still higher when be caught the warmth and friendliness of ber bright greeting. "Oh. hello, Carey. I Just got back this afternoon and was going to telephone you this evening. About that date for the Boulevard remember?" -There Isn't any Boulevard. Didn't you hearf" "Hear what?" "It burned down yesterday." "What a shame I Now I shan't be able to bear that couple." "One of them li speaking to you now. Iris." "What on earth do you mean?" Rapidly, frankly, Carey told Iris everything, although be had to put more money in the pay telephone to make a complete confession. "Weill" tald Iris enltmatiraHy. when he paused. "I felt you ought to know the whole story, since we art planning to do things together." "I see," said Iris. She paused. "You know, of course, that I don't like being fooled, or put in a bad light." "No one has put you In a bad light. I wouldn't do It for worlds." "Very well, Carey, but " "How about lunching with me the next tune you are In town?" Carry cut In. "I can make every thing much clearer when I see you In person." "I have a better Idea," said Iris. "I am spending the coming week end at my penthouse. You can come over there. It's a better place to talk than a restaurant." "Oood I Thanks a lot. WhatHlms and day?" "Sunday afternoon flve-lh. "I'll be there," said drey eager ly. "I've got some new Ideas about the kitchen arrangements of our small houses." . . When he hung up the telephone, . H was nearly six. No need to climb those three flights again. He ' touched a button above which the landlady already had placed the name "Carson." In a moment Lorla called down from the top floor. TB hungry," said Carey, "Put on your bonnet and let's go." And so began the new Ufa of the Canons. Instead of the magnifi cence of Pottersplace, they had a simple supper at the cafeteria, a quiet evening In their furnished apartment and the next morning a hasty breakfast before parting at the comer of Sixth Avenue and Forty -second Street. Both were ready for Job-hunting. "Oood luck I" said Carey. "Same to you." said Lorls. "And well both need It. Our savings wont keep us more than a eoupls of months If that long." "Dont be so pessimistic. We may both get a break." They managed to be cheerful on the first evening of their return. But the next day, both were less cheerful and by the end of the week, they were entirely out of good cheer. "Perhaps something win eoms of my talk with Iris this afternoon," aald Carey. . .. "Here's hoping," said Lorls. with out enthusiasm. Carey got up from the small table, where he and Lorls hsd been eating a combination breakfast and lunch. "I think m take a nap and then a long walk to get aired out. I want to be In the right mood for meeting Iris." T ORIS cleared away the dishes and then settled down to look over the paper. Bad news. And then more bad newst Nothing but mis ery, unemployment, suffering, war. She longed for reassurance for ARRIVES TO TAKE Charles B. Warner, recently aeieciea to succeed Kenneth Wells as Scout executive of the Crater Lake Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, arrived last week to assume his duties.

II flJ.R) A tanker, a liberty ship and a n ine-sweeper went down the ways at Portland shipyards Sat urday, bringing the total number of shins launched last week to quiet news that made you feel warm and comfortable. Finall Loris dropped the paper, stretched out on the day-bed and fell asleep. She did not know when Carey left. She didn't know that he stood looking down at her for a long tuna, wishing be could get himself straightened out about net and Iris and work and a million other things. She didn't know that he tiptoed to the door and there blew ber a kiss. UnhaoDV even In her dream Lorls slept on while Carey Carson, her let's pretend husband, traveled downtown, across to the east side and finally up to Iris Wrenshaw's apartment. As be stepped Into the elevator, Carey remembered that other visit the terrace, the drinks, the toy In studying the sketches ins naa mule. Remembering, he looked for ward to another hour alone with the girl who was to help him achieve his ambition to become a great architect. A maid opened the door. And as Carey gave her his hat. he heard the sound of voices coming from the terrsce. He frowned In disap pointment. Evidently Iris hsd other callers. That possibility had not occurred to him. "Miss Wrenshaw Is out on the terrace." the maid told him. "She Is expecting you. Mr. Carson." "Thank you," said Carey. Ee crossed the wide living room, paus ing in an open doorway where he could inspect tne guests. fHERE were nearly a dozen men and women on the terrace. It was several moments before he could locate Iris. And when he did see her. she wasnt alone. There waa a muni man with her a striking young man who looked more like Hollywood than New York. He was leaning close to Iris, talking earn estly. And Iris was listening just as Intently. Carey hesitated. He knew none of the guests at the party, or so he thought until he looked a second time at one of the women. He rec ognised her as one of the pair he had overheard tearing Iris to shreds that summer dsy they had lunched together at'the Park Avenue club. As If drawn by Carey's gaze, the woman glanced up, returned his look of recognition and smiled. "Come on out. young man," she called pleasantly. "Haven't I seen ou somewhere?" "It's an awfully big city," said Carey. "And yet who knows? "Sit here." Invited the woman, pouring him a cocktail from one of the shakers that were traveling from hand to hand. "Friend of Irii wrenshaws?" "Naturally since Fm here." "That doesn't mean a thing. Peo ple come for cocktails In New York whether they know the hostess of not. Ant Iris does seem to know a lot of good-looking young men. "Iris Is a good looking young woman. . "That's her latest over there.' "Latest what?" "Young man." The woman sail "He's a young playwright wltn Ideas, or so Iris says. 8he Is all ex cited about helping him produce a piay. "Ohl" aald Carey, briefly. "Oh what?" the woman laughed. "Oo on, ten me more," Carey urged. "So Iris has a new young man a playwright Interesting. . -Nearly every man Iris goes foi is Interesting." the woman said "There was talk of a young archi tect for awhile. It got around heaven knows hois. But I guess that la all over. I understand he was married or something and Iris doesnt like sharing her man with another woman, not even the man's wire. "I see." said Carey. fTo be eonflnued. (Tht iharacturt rn (his serial art rteimousi Oosmsol.

By Normsn Howard United Press Correspondent Indianapolis U.R To speed the ships, guns, planes and tanks America needs to beat the axis, the war production board has conceived a new plan, which of ficials describe as the "best to date." J. H. rrohllch, Indiana district supervisor of the WPB, admitted In a recent Interview that there have been "several Instances of temporary shutdowns and re duced production In Indiana war factories because of shortages of such materials as copper, alum' inum and steel," but added that the new WPB plan should rem edy the situation. Proof that Indiana war fac tories do not stand alone In the war-material-shortage emergency was given by Lt. Gen. Brehon Somervell's testimony before the u. S. senate committee on small business. Somervllle admitted that shortages and work stop pages had occurred in many vital war-industry areas throughout the country. "The WPB's new 'Controlled Materials Plan' Is the result of one-and-one-half year's exper ience In dealing with war pro duction problems, rrohllch said. To Co-operate - Under the new plan, officials of WPB will sit In Washington with officials of sevi other gov ernmental agencies, to synchro- ize war-material needs of the armed forces with available sup plies in America's stockpiles. The agencies co-operating with the WPB under the new set-up which Is scheduled to go Into ef fect In April, will be the bureau of aeronautics, board of econ omic warfare, lend-lease board, office of civilian supply, mari time commission, the army and the navy. Many public officials, both In the nation's capital and in In diana, feel that the new Con- trailed Materials Plan, under which manufacturers will sub mit estimates of vital materials they need for war production to the national board, will head off the impending materials crisis. The crisis in war-materials shortages already Is underway in some industries, and is echoed in the December issue of "War Production News," published by the Chicago regional office of wrB, for Illinois. Indiana. Iowa ana Wisconsin. Follow Sams Pattern "in almost every case," the magazine stated, "the pattern of material crisis Is the same: a war plant nears the end of a Job, runs smack into a shortage of only a few pounds of scarce. critical metal needed to comDlete oeuvery or a launching, fails to locate tne needed metal in all known sources of suddIv. and calls desperately on WPB's uvuDie-snooung materials re distribution service, which goes into action with files, nhone calls, plant visits. In many cases, they find exactly what's wanted.

But In many other cases, WPB officials add. all their efforts are In vain. Production gets under way for 1,000 ships, and steel for only 900 is available; factories start rolling on an order for hun dreds of airplanes, and soon run short of aluminum or other pre cious metals. Under the "Controlled Mater ials Plan," however, that kind of disorganization and confusion will be eliminated. No longer will American war Industries "bite off more than they can chew" in the way of war con tracts, for war-material supply will be balanced with armed forces' demand. Reinforced with such a plan, officials are convinced, Amer ica's "production soldiers" will produce the implements of war more efficiently th-n ever before to beat the axis in the factory as completely as on the field of battle.
