Guaranteeing Bank Deposits News that congress and the White House have at last come to an agreement on a scheme for federal guar antee of bank deposits is sure to be hailed enthuiastically by bank depositors all over the country. Unorthodox though it may be, it will probably win the support of lead ers in business and finance as well, k It is a truism that business won’t recover until con fidence is restored; and the very cornerstone of confi dence must be complete trust in the soundness of one’s bank account. The American people have had their fin gers pretty badly burned in the last year or so, and if a good bit of their trust has evaporated it is hardly sur prising. This new measure should restore that trust. Once let every depositor know that his money is safe, and we ought to get a restoration of confidence which would aid trade revival. A guarantee of deposits, however, must be accom pained by more stringent supervision and regulation than in the past. The government cannot subsidize bad bank ing. Old-Age Pensions A total of 22 states have now adopted old-age pen sion laws. In these states indigent men and women who are too old to work will not have to go to the poorhouse and suffer the stigma ofpauperization. Instead they will be able to draw regular incomes from their state treas uries, and while these incomes will not be large they will at least keep the recipients from starvation and will save their self-respect. But that is not the whole story. According to reliable estimates, the 22 states involved will find this means of caring for the aged poor less expensive than the old sys tem. The poor house is not only cruel and spirit-break ing; it is outlandishly expensive. And incidentally, the pension laws will remove from the labor market those pa thetic old job-hunters whose desperation causes them to agree to work for microspically low wages. All in all, the arguments for old age pension laws are pretty strong. The remaining 26 states in the union, to say nothing of the national Congress, would do well (fh listen to them. New Forest Lands The activities of the “forest army’’ recently enrolled for emergency construction wrork have aroused a new in terest in the general subject of reforestation and construc tion; and it is worth noticing that a survey made by the U. S. Forest Service urges that public agencies should in the near future acquire 224,000,000 acres of additional forest land. Whatever may be the comparative merits of public and private ownership in other fields, it is fairly clear that to put through an intelligent, large scale forest con servation program the government must own a vast acre age of forest land. In the very nature of things, the long range and all-inclusive plans necessary for such a program cannot be evolved when ownership of the land involved is split up among a great number of individuals. Here is a very important field where national plan ning is necessary. It is to be hoped that the government will go forward with the work in a far-reaching manner.

Christian Science Lesson Subject "Adam and Fallen Man” will be the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Ohrist, Scientist, Sunday, May 7. The golden text is from Hosea 14: “O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.” Among the passages to be read from the Bible will be the follow ing from Romans 8: "There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” The lesson-sermon will also In clude from the Christian Science textbook by Mary Baker Eddy. ‘‘Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” one of which will be as follows: (p 534): ‘‘Paul says in the epistle to the Romans: "The carnal mind is en mity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are In the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION I • _—! the spirit, if so be that the spirit or God dwell in you.’ “There will be no greater mental opposition to the spiritual, scien tific meaning of the Scriptures than there has ever been since the ! Christian era began. The serpent, material sense, will bite the heel of the woman,—will struggle to de stroy the spiritual idea of love; and the woman, this idea. wifi bruise the head of lust. The spir itual idea has given the under standing a foothold in Christian Science.” lilll rncELUOTt " V Ay 1 ossNEASEweejcS Ufeui.n UEHb TODAY MONNIE O’DARE. beautiful, poor and 20, Is In love with DAN CARDIGAN, heir to one of the local fortune*. Dan proteases to her but is often neglectful. When she needs a friend CHARLES EUSTACE comes to her •*?;_Monnle believes SANDRA LAWRENCE, In Dan's own set, Is trying to win him from her. BILL, Monnie’s older brother, plana to marry ANGIE GILLEN. who worka In a candy store, as soon •■Angle gets a divorce. KAY O’DARE. 16 and still In high school, is discontented with porerty. At n dinner pnrty at Charles’ house Monnle Is heart sick when she accidentally sees Dan kiss Sandra. HETTY, a housemaid at the Lawrences, dis likes Sandra. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER X TpHERE was the music, restless, throbbing: a tenor, wailing Into a microphone: "Anything you say, anything you do, Da-da, da-da-da,” Monnie, dancing with Charles, lifted her head proudly, smiling. If her heart ached no one should know It. Charles asked, "Tired?” and she answered him gayly. Her tone couldn’t have been entirely convincing, because he went over and shut off the radio. Sandra pouted. "I like that! Just when I was teaching Danny a new step!” Charles seemed not to hear. He clapped his hands and the Chinese | boy, Kong, he had brought with him to Belvedere, appeared in the doorway, smiling faintly. "How about some food, Kong?” Sandra protested. “Charles Eustace, it’s a plot to fatten me up! I’ve only just forgotten that heavenly dinner.” Dan glanced at his watch. "It’s 12, Sandra.” She raised her brows. "Scan dalous! I’ll miss my beauty sleep.” In a low tone, Monnie told Charles she really must go. He put a warm brown hand on hers for an instant. "Do you mean that?” She did. So the houseboy was dismissed for the night, and pres ently Monnle found herself crowded in with Charles in the front seat of his car, Kay beside them. Kay said, prettily, schoolgirl fashion, that she had had a beau tiful time. She had "loved every minute of it.” At the door, Charles detained Monnie for a moment. “And you?” “It was fun,” Monnie told him. She thought Charles hesitated for a split second. Then he told her slowly, “We must do it again some time. I like that small sis ter of yours. She’s charming.” "Everyone likes Kay.” So that was the way of it, Monnie thought. Charles Eustace and Kay. Well, that was all right, too. Kay would be 17, soon. Kay was beautiful, too beautiful for her own good in this narrow minded small town. It would be marvelous to see Kay have her chance. * * * ■pHEY said good night then and -*■ the two girls drifted upstairs. Kay was far too excited to sleep. She came to sit on the edge of Monnie’s bed, brushing that In credibly flne-6pun golden hair of hers. "Isn't he Just too grand?” "Charles? Yes. Wonderful,” returned Monnie quietly. "No, not him,” cried Kay, heed less of grammar. “I mean the boy friend—the broker from the big city. Is he smooth!” "Oh. I didn’t notice.” Kay continued to wield the brush for a few moments with out speaking. Then, abruptly, ahe jurst out, "I hope you see now ■hat Sandra Lawrence Is the kitty w "ril probably get what I want," Kay said. "Tm—n>hat d'you call it?—ruthless." cat I always told you she was.” Monnie shrugged. “Does It matter?” “Not in the least,” Kay told her loftily. “She’s been racket ing around the world for years now and hasn’t even snatched herself a husband. I think she’s getting scared and so has decided to work on something simple like Dan Cardigan.” “Do you think Dan’s to be had —just for the snatching?” Monnie asked quietly. There was a slow, dull pain in her breast. “Any of ’em are,” chattered Kay, smearing cold cream into her exquisite skin and staring at herself in the mirror. “You just have to know the rules of the game." “You mean I don’t?” Kay gave her sister an ap praising glance. “I guess you know 'em all right but the trouble is you let your feelings get in volved. That’s bad.” Monnie couldn’t help smiling. Where did Kay get all this wis dom? "Laugh at me if you like,” Kay advised equably. "But I know my stuff. I’ll prob’ly get what I want. I’m—what d’you call it?—ruthless. You’re too worried about the other fellow’s feelings. It doesn’t pay.” “Do you mind if I turn out the light, Kay,” Monnie asked her abruptly. If she heard much more of this, the tears that had been threatening her all evening would be sure to overtake her. Kay was asleep in three min utes. Monnie could hear her soft breathing. She lay awake as the moon climbed high into the summer heavens. Sandra and Dan, Sandra and Dan, Sandra and Dan—she kept seeing them together. • • • . the maid, untied her strings and wadded the white object into a hall. Staring after the car that carried Sandra and Dan Cardigan off Into the summer night, she looked furi ously discontented. She waited until the roar of the motor dwindled in the distance. Then, with her small head cocked, bird like, on one side, she listened cautiously for the other sounds of the household. Cook was whistling softly to herself below stairs and there was the irritating tinkle of water from a half-closed tap. Otherwise all was silent. Now Hetty moved on noiseless feet in the direction from which Sandra had just come. Sandra’s room, the door flung wide, was like its owner—poised and ele gant. She had planned all the decorations and the room was a symphony in white and red. Dull, creamy velvet and satin had been used for the upholstery of small chairs and the low chaise by the window. The curtains were of lacquer red, against Venetian blinds of soothing creaminess. In all this daring purity, Hetty’s black frock was like a blotch of ink. Arms akimbo, the maid surveyed the scene. She shut the door soundlessly behind her and advanced into Sandra’s domain, her eyes flickering with repressed emotion—anger, resent ment or mere ill-temper, one could not be sure which. She tiptoed to the dressing table, sat down on the bench where only a few moments age its mistress had preened hersell and stared at the mirror. Dis contented with what she saw there, Hetty clicked her tongue ; impatiently against her teeth and : began to investigate the content! of the many small bottles and jars with which the table was lit tered. She tried the effect of a car mine stain on her cheek and smiled. She unscrewed the cai from a tube of lip-paste and smeared this generously against her rather thin mouth. Then sh< used an eyebrow brush she found in a drawer. She dusted her sal low cheeks and nose with deli cately scented powder and sprayed a mist of flower fragrance against her shoulder as she had seen motion picture actresses do. She minced over to the clothes closet where on padded hangers and crystal shelves were disposed the impedimenta of Sandra’s ele gance. A cloudy blue chiffon frock she snatched from its trans parent protector, holding it against her lean young girl’s shape to see how it became her. • • • A SOUND came from downstairs —something that sounded like the bellow of an infuriated bull. Startled, the maid tied on the now crumpled apron, crammed the blue frock hastily back into its place, made a wild sweep at her rather bizarre countenane* with a duster she snatched from nowhere at all, and flew out on the landing. The cook, Mrs. Peterman, was shouting for her. "Hetty! Hetty! Where are you?” All out of breath, she arrived on the first floor. Mrs. Peterman, huge in her blue-striped dress, with wisps of graying hair de pending from the dusting cap she habitually wore, frowned at her and sniffed. "You’ve been at it again. I knew it! Mark my words, you’ll get the gate with your nonsense.’’ Hetty said sullenly, "Don’t know what you're talking about.’’ "Don’t you, eh? Snooping around the young madam’s room and tryin' on her things! Can’t I smell her perfumery? And your face! Go wash it in the pantry this minute. The mister just phoned he’s bringing some men to dinner. Fine business it you turn up looking like a floozie.’’ Hetty showed herself at the kitchen door a few moments later, clean and chastened. But Mrs. Peterman was still grumbling. "You’ll find yourself out of a job one of these days and no two ways about it. With things the way they are I can’t understand what’s got into you. You won’t get another place like this—not in a good while!” "I hate this place,” Hetty spat out. "Oh, you do, miss? Well, isn’t that just too bad? I know what’s eating you, I do. Just because James is polite to the young lady and she to him you’re jealous as a wild cat. I never heard such nonsense. Suppose you think you can tell your betters how to be have themselves!” "She’d better watch herself, that’s all I say,” muttered Hetty, spearing balls of butter viciously from their bath of ice water and disposing them on the small crye tal plates. "Girls nowadays are out of their minds, that’s all,” Mrs. Peterman pursued, flinging open the oven door to peer in at the sizzling roast. "Don’t know when they’re well off. What do you want to bother with James for, anyhow? He looks nice all dressed up in his driver’s uni form but what that gets you, I don’t know.” "thanks for the ad!” ▲ tall youth, rakishly attired in a smart chauffeur’s outfit in hunter’s green, grinned at the two women from the doorway. "When do we eat?” Instantly Hetty was trans formed. A smile curved her thin lips and she undulated toward the newcomer in a way suggesting a film star. "Hullo, Jimmy,” she cooed, i "When did you get back?* I (To Be Continued)
