CHAPTER VI The lawyer nodded curtly, hut he turned in his chair and followed the young man with itis eyes. For the first time a doubt had stirred in him. Plenty of innocent people suffered—but, pshaw! This boy had been fairly tried. It wr,s a plain murder for money. I -Ie was hard up at the time, and he was his un- cle's heir. Fosdick pursed his lips. He had not tried to claim the for- tune yet; it was rolling up; but he woufd—of course he would! He nodded to himself and went back to his work, He had always believ- ed Mark guilty. Mark had set his face westward. It seemed the natural destiny of men such as he. * * * He went steadily about it; he had long ago half shaped his prob- able course. Now he looked up localities, recalled the advice that his friend, the warden, had given him, and even went so far as to inquire the price of railway fares. Yet he did not go. Days had pass- ed and he had held to his resolu- tion. He had never returned to the Burleson house. Better that Pant should think him uncouth, uncivil- ized, than that he should trans- gress again. The thought of his reckless entrance there, his viola- tion of all the amenities of social life, made his cheeks bu:n. He lov- ed the girl; it was no romance of a day; and because it was real, be- cause it was a thing above and apart front the rest of his life, he would see her no more. The suffer- ing and annoyance might be hers, but she would soon forget! To go away from the city where she dwelt would be exile. 'There was always a chance here of a glimpse of her, himself unseen. Once he saw Pam on horseback in the park. Screened by the trees he watched her in the sunshine and thought her the most beautiful thing in the world! That day he nearly broke his resolution. It seemed as if he must speak to her, That night he summoned himself to the bar of itis own judgment and condemned him- self. No honest man would have gone into another's house under a false name and made love to an innocent girl. I -Ie would go West in the morning. * * * He was on his way to buy his ticket when he carne suddenly upon her. It was fate, he thought, that she chanced to be out at the time, She was not angry, only surprised. She blushed furiously. "Where have you been? We've wondered!" She held out her hand, Smiling, her soft eyes kind, "You've treated us shabbily," she chided him lightly. Mark did not go to buy his ticket. He walked at her side. The city street became an enchanted path. All his resolutions melted; his heart sang in his breast. I -Ie had seen joy flash into her face when she saw him. They walked a long way to- gether; what was said did not mat- ter — their eyes spoke. Thein they came to a corner where there was a clock and she looked up• at it, caught by the admonishing hands. "Good gracious; it's quarter to twat" she gasped. "\Vhat am I thinking of? 1 was to meet Aunt Lynn at one, sharp, for lunch! It's down at Monstresi's, she—" Pant laughed nervously -r "she must be raving! I'll have to get there—" "No, you won't," said Mark, firm- ly, "you're going to lunch with me. I've always known it, only we've delayed, but you can't break that engagement with me!" * * * 1ler face was glowing above her furs, she shook her head, but her eyes laughed. "1 can't!" she pro- tested, "not today." "Yes, today!" He was determin- ed. He was piloting her through a crowd and she could not escape easily. "There are never any to- morrows — it's today with me. What's this place? I'm a stranger, I don't know, but it looks good to mc.,, "Oh, but I must go; I must meet Aunt Lynn—" the girl protested, the she laughed, for he had her inside the doors and was selecting a table. She laughed again easily — she was happy. She had bee'ti wonder- ing for days why he had deserted; now she saw it did not matter; he had been running away from him- self! ife leaned toward her and she saw the flame that leaped into his eyes. "I was going away today when I met you; going as far away as I could." • She was startled. "\Vere you?" Then she looked clown at the table, trifling with her glass of water, "You're not going to stay in New York, then?" "God knows!" * * * Sh': lifted her eyes and met his. A soft flush crept up to her hair. She looked adorable, and he groan- ed under his breath. "I can imagine that a man like you wouldn't care to stay here long," she said unexpectedly, "What kind of a man do you think the?" he (leman(le4 "too un- civilized for urban life?" She smiled, her eyes shining, "I wouldn't have said that; but per- haps I meant it! You know you're perfectly extraordinary — If you weren't, I should be down at Mon- stresi's now with Aunt Lynn. "Would you rather?" he chal- lengcd her. She shook her head. "I wonder if you'd speak to me if 1 to1G you the truth?" he said. "I wonder if any woman on earth knows the man she's talking with?" She looked at hint across the tea - things, suddenly grave. "I know you've been tremen- dously unhappy." "Good heavens; am 1 as cheap as that? Appealing to your sympa- thy — you'r pity?" he exclaimed. '"You know I didn't mean that!" I -Ie was enraged at himself. Had he been playing on this young girl's sympathy?

Vegetables are good for you!" 1t doesn't make sense docs it? And if some families are 'difficult' about vegetables, we wouldn't blame them. Overlooking and 'Drowning' When vegetables are limp, flavourless and a poor colour after cooking, it is safe to say they, have lost a large part of their food value. Overcooking and 'drowning' arc the two most frequently com- mitted sins against vegetables, Cooking until just tender, by whatever method, and the use of only enough boiling salted water to prevent.. scorching, preserves food vajtlgJ30our and flavour. If any iigtpit. is left, remember it is a vefiitablermincral urine, Never discard it` " Serve it with the vegctables,,.,gdd it to gravy, soup, sauce or tomato juice. Casserole Cooking Have you tried casserole cook- ing for vegetables? It's good on all counts, food value, appearance and flavour, The vegetables are pre- pared and sliced, cubed or shredded. Boiling water to a deptli of / inch is placed in the casse- role, the vegetables and salt added, t: e casset ole closely covered and baked until just tender, The vegetables will accommodate them- selves to the temperature required to cook the rest of the dinner and may be cooked from 300 to 400 F. Combinations of vegetables may be cooked together. Turnips and carrots; potatoes, onions and carrots; carrots and celery are all good, Panning First cousin to casserole cooking is 'Panning' which. is _especially good for spinach, gale, cabbage, sun.mer squash and thinly sliced, tender beans. Prepared' vegetables are measured. '1'o each quart of vegetables allow two tablespoons of fat—bacon fat drippings or but- ter. Melt the fat in a heavy flat pan, add the vegetables and salt, cover closely to hold in the steam and cook on top of the stove until just tender, stirring occasionally, Season with salt and pepper.

Clarke of . GINGER FARM • • • We went to TO\VN last Friday —that definitely should be written in capitals! Partner wanted chop and there was other business to at- tend to, so I went along too. There had been quite a bit of snow overnight but the lane looked much the same as usual. So away we went with the team, sleighs heavily loaded with grain to be chopped, and Partner, John and I perched atop the load, I said to Partner—"Do you know, I haven't seen a team or car on the road to- day!" ,\Vc were soon to know the reason.'The cut between the snow- banks on the road was practically filled in with fresh, loose snow, redu;ing the roadway to a mere trail. 'l'he whiffle -trees, in many places, touched the hard -crusted snowbanks on either side. But the horses plunged along quite happily. It wasn't too cold and I was really enjoying it until Partner, in answer to an inquiry said—"Yes, we'll be all right so long as we don't meet the snowplough!" Well, just as we got near the Base Line I said to Partner—"Look what's coming!" Sure enough it was the snow- plough. Partner was too busy with the horses to say anything. For- tunately the driver on the big ma- chine knew enough to stop until we had turned the corner and pass- ed him. 'l he horses were side-step- ping and cutting up like a pair of colts. But 1 knew Partner could handle them so I just hung on to the back of his coat and hoped for the best, 'There is so little to hang onto atop a load of chop! * * * We were in town a little over Iwo hours, Two hours—ict me em- phasize that. Hardly had we start- ed home when we met friend B— with his team and sleigh—but the only load that he had on was his wife. IIe laughed when he saw us and called out—"You'll never get home with that Toad." Then we passed neighbour C—, and he call- ed out—"You won't get home!" and added something about the plough. We thought by that the plough had been up the line and was on its way down and that we would have to wait until it had turned the corner, But it . wasn't that at all. The plough had never. made the grade— it had stuck very soon after it had started up the line. And there it had been all the time we were in town, \\'e could sec it ahead of us. None of us did much talking but I know we were all wondering how Look out for Trouble from Sluggish KIDNEYS Try the Original "Dutch Drops" It is poisonous waste that your kidneys should be filtering out of your blood that may cause backache, dizzy spells, leg cramps, restless, eleep•brokei nights, and smarting and burning, Fur relief use the remedy that has won the grateful thanks of thousands for many years—GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules.

We watched, and sure enough the great machine was beginning to creep, We were saved —.we knew now that we could get home because there was nothing big enough to stop the plough front where it was to our own gate. We followed slowly behind her and saw where our neighbours had had to take to the ditch -- and I can tell you we were mighty glad that we and our load didn't have to do likewise. A little way past our gate the plough stalled again. Later it gave up completely and a bull -dozer was brought in to finish the job, The irony of it struck me as be- ing rather comic.

Wilson, President, says continued Canadian develop- ment depends on world-wide system of trading based on international monetary and exchange stability. Urges Canada be one of first to approve principles of Bretton Woods Conference. Sydney G. Dobson, Vice -President and General Manager, re- ports total assets at all-time peak with year's increase greatest in history of bank; southern branches in unique position to facilitate Latin-American trade. '1' he vital importance to Can- ada's future welfare of a healthy foreign trade based on internation- al monetary and exchange stability was emphasized by Morris W. Wil- son, President of The Royal Bank of Canada at the bank's Annual lfeeting, Canada owed her economic de- velopment from earliest days, said Mr. Wilson, to foreign trade and the level of pre-war exports would not only have to be maintained after the war, but actually expanded, possibly to double their pre-war value, if Canada was to secure an adequate national income. FOREIGN TRADE PROBLEMS "Normally we export considcr- ahly more to Great Britain and other countries of the Empire than we import from tltetn. On the other hand, our imports from the United States arc usually in excess of our exports to that country, Under normal exchange conditions it was relatively simple to adjust this situation. ,Our sterling balances, accumulated through exports to the Empire, were readily exchangeable for U.S. dollars with which to pay for what we purchased in the Un= ited States, "War -time experience, however, has shown the difficulties which arise when this multilateral adjust- ment of trade balances breaks clown, As a result of the control of sterling made necessary by the war, Canada has been forced to depend upon her own devices for liquidation of British balances, through interest-free loans, mutual aid, and the repatriation of Can- adian securities. \Ve were also forced to restrict purchases and travel in the United States, in order to reduce the demand for U.S. dollars, thereby making it easier for us to pay for essential imports. If the world should be divided into exclusive trading areas after the war, as is frequently suggested of which one might be based on sterl- ing and another on the U.S. dollar, Canada would be in a peculiarly disadvantageous position since she properly belongs in neither group, Our membership in the British Commonwealth of Nations, and the coincidence that our unit of• cur- rency is named "dollar" as in the United States, create an anomalous :situation, and obscure our true position in the eyes of many. Be- cause of these factors, and our own selfish interests, we are compelled to prefer a world-wide system of trading. There is net altruism about it. CANNOT STAND ALONE "If international trade on the broadest scale is not fully restored, what can Canada do independently to preserve her foreign markets? There are certain _obvious meas- ures, notably maintenance and im- provement of the quality of our exports, vigorous salesmanship, and the acceptance of imports from countries t0 which we export, up to the limit either of their capacity to sell to us, or of our ability to absorb their products, These are basic principles which Canada can and should adopt, whatever the rest of the world may do. "What other alternatives will be normally avialable to us? In the first place, we might have to re- strict our exports to the ability of foreign markets ,to pay for our products, Since many of our ma jor export commodities ate produc- ed on a scale out of all proportion to our mit consumption, the sub- sequctit unemployment of men and resources, the agricultural depres- sion, and the social problems which would arise, would build up a load that our economy and constitution could not support, Secondly, Can- ada might provide credits to coun- tries desiring to import goods on a basis similar to the credits which have been established during the war, but with the hope of ultimate repayment. Finally, we could sub- sidize exports. "Furthermore, as I stated a year ago, I believe it would be sound policy for Canada not only to ex- tend liberal long-term credits to countries who are actual or poten- tial buyers of Canadian products, but in special cases to make out- right gifts of foods, raw material, finished goods and machinery to assist and hasten the rehabilitation of such countries. "Thus far could vc go, independ- ently of the policies of other pow- ers. But a moment of consideration will show how slight our hopes of success would be without inter- national co-operation." Mr. Wilson reviewed the function of gold as an international currency prior _to and after the last tsar but pointed out that the "gold stand- ard" was never entirely automatic in its operation. "The system could never have been mantained," lie said, "without the unrivalled su- premacy of the City of London in the foreign exchange and inter- national investment markets, the degree of liquidity it maintained, the great foreign loans it floated, the willingness of Great Britain to accept imports of goods and services for payment on loans and last but by no means least, the knowledge and experience of the great London banks and' financial horses. NATIONS FORSAKE RULES In the second place, all countries observed the code of economic ethics set up by the gold standard. Fundamental changes in this sys- tem took place following the last war, said i\1r, Wilson, and the in- ternational economic system, dis- rupted by the war, retrained out of balance and the disequilibrium became intensified. Countries ceas- ed to abide by the rules and no longer sought to adjust their do- mestic policies to the requirements of' the gold standard system and with the breakdown and abandon- ment of the standard in 1031, each country set out on its own course, "Instead of adjusting domestic prices and production to the needs of international exchange stability and balanced payments on inter- national account, countries began to manipulate exchange rates, as a means of increasing domestic and foreign trade in order to maintain employment at home, International trade became disrupted, with every country seeking to force its exports on others, but to reduce imports to a minimum, Competitive ex- change depreciation, higher and higher tariffs on imports, quanti- tative quotas and bulk purchases, and similar measures, were utiliz- ed by all countries in greater or less degree. Well over a third of total world trade was conducted on a basis of crude barter. With the collapse of the gold standard, there disappeared the only oper- ative system for the co-ordination of national economic policies; in its absence, sovereign countries, acting independently and without regard for the external repercus- sions of their policies, inevitably drifted toward international econ- omic chaos." Upon this chaos, said Mr, Wil- son, had now been superimposed the new disequilibrium of a second World War, The great importing countries including Great Britain and those of Europe had suffered devastation, destruction of their in- dustrial machinery and, particularly Great Britain, loss of overseas markets. Other countries, notably those of North America, had found their industries and agriculture greatly expanded. "In order to maintain employment," said Mr. Wilson, "it will be necessary for these countries and particularly for Canada, to export to an extent greater than was necessary even before 1939," BRETTON WOODS Mr, Wilson dealt at length with the Bretton \Voods Conference last July when the experts of forty - tour countries sought to evolve a systctn of international control of foreign exchange and investment with a view to providing exchange stability. I -Io readily admitted that the Bretton \Voods program was no panacea for post-war problems but he • pointed out that practical businessmen were largely in agree- ment with the Bretton \Voods ex- perts, Meeting at Rye, N,Y,, last November, businessmen from fifty- two countries, including Canada, recommended a Multilateral Trade Convention for all countries to pro- vide for the progressive lowering of trade barriers; the elimination of quotas and import embargoes; the abandonment of discriminatory trade practices; the abandonment of national sales and production monopolies, "It appears to me," said Mr, Wilson, "that the next step in pre- paration for the general resump- tion of foreign trade after the war must be discussions and agreement between governments on commerc- ial policy. If some standard of commercial policy is not establish- ed prior 10 the resumption of gen- eral trading, we may see the con- tinuance of the predatory practices of the pre-war era, "Canadian economic develop- ment, in the future as in the past. depends upon the maintenance and development of international trade, Monetary stability is one of the prerequisites of international trade. For ..anada, therefore, monetary stability is of paramount import- ance. 1f we acknowledge ,these premise:, our course of action is clear'., \ t'e must implement the measures necessary to secure them. 1 -sincerely hope that Canada will be one of the first to approve the principles of lhe Bretton Woods agreements, leaving the Govern- ment free to deal with matters of detail in consultation and agree- ment with the other countries con- cerned," GENERAL MANAGER'S ADDRESS In presenting the Annual Balance Sheet Sydney G, Dobson, Vice - President and General Manager, pointed out total assets were 'now at the record level of $1,790,251,802, and that the increase in assets dur- ing the year was the greatest in the history of the bank, The liquid position was exceedingly strong, he said. Total Liquid Asset repre- senting 81.62% of the bank's Lia- bilities to the Public. Noteworthy was the increase in the number of Deposit Account Customers which now totaled 1,450,000. Profits for the year, after providing for Do- minion Government Taxes, amount- ed to $3,821,183, an increase of 1211/,894. 'ON TO BASTOCNE!' Over field microphone, Lt. -Col. Creighton (Abe) Abrams, of Jack- sonville, Fla., gives the order that started the Third Army drive that relieved the heroic 101st Airborne Division garrison in Bastogne, Col. Abrams commands the 4th Armored Division's rescue spearhead, ACTS IN GREECE Following signing of truce be- tween Greek ELAS forces and the British Army, Gen, • Nicholas Plastiras, Greek premier, is faced with task of bringing order out of the political chaos that spark- ed off 40 days of bloody civil war. Besides premiership, he holds portfolios of War, Navy, Air, Merchant Marine. Mr. Dobson reported steady de- velopment of the bank's foreign business in the Caribbean and South America. "The South Amer- ican countries," he said, "are po- tential purchasers of large quanti- ties of equipment of all kinds for modernizing and expanding already established manufacturing facilities, for developing new industries, and carrying out public works programs, A growing interest in Canada and Canadian products is evident, and it is hoped that our manufacturers, exporters, and importers will reci- procate this interest, Our well- placed branches are in a unique position to offer assistance in the development of trade between La- tin America and Canada," TRIBUTE TO STAFF The General Manager reported that the staff, not including those in the armed services, now totalled 8,205. "In Canada 71% are young women, compared with only 21% in 1939, While the more experienc- ed officers have been under great personal pressure, because of the need to train and ' help inexper- ienced newcomers, these new members of the staff have learned quickly, fitted in readily, and per- formed splendidly the duties allot- ted to thou. All of our officers serve with a sense of public re- sponsibility as well as of duty to the bank. "Leave of absence for military service has been granted to 2;255 of our officers since the war start- ed, of whom 2,154 enlisted front Cahadiau branches. This is equal to 74% of the Canadian male of- ficers who were under 45 at the war's outbreak." Looking to the problems of the post-war years, Mr. Dobson stated that one of the bank's first con- siderations would be the placing In satisfactory' positions of the mem- bers of the staff Who were serving in.the various armed services, "This matter," he said, "is foremost in our minds and is being given care- ful study, The affairs of customers in many cases will, undergo great changes in the trnsition period from war production to peacetime needs, In this transition we shall )e called upon to play an import- ant part in assisting financially in helping to bring about this change. It may be necessary for us to revise to some extent the existing practice of making loans for short terms only, and in certain circumstances to consider loans extending over a period of two, three, or five years to meet changed conditions, "I am not implying that we should depart from our policy of prudent banking,.but because of our large holdings of readily negotiable Government securities, we may, without risk fp our liquidity, assist feserving borrowers with longer tern loans. • "Your bank is strong financially and exceedingly well equipped to handle post-war financing, and we shall consider it our patriotic duty to play our full part in assisting business generally in becoming re- established." WHY HOME FRONT MUST TIGHTEN UP Everything expended on the War Fronts means just that much leas for the Home Front, and the promise of 1945 is that combat expenditures, some of which. are pictured above, will reach hith- erto unimagined totals. CASUALTIES: Running at the rate of 1,500,000 a year, are expected to increase as war's tempo speeds up. AMMUNITION: More than two tons of ammunition are fired every minute of every day at the Germans alone, with rate of. fire increasing. TIRES: Life -span of tires in combat is often measured in minutes. As supply lines lengthen, tire requirements will' increase. GASOLINE: Combat reverses, resulting in loss of gas dumps, like that in photo; ever- increasing mechanized strength and growing air forces, including such gas eaters as B -29s, the huge new B -32s and other giants will use gas in unprecedented quantities. MECHANIZED EQUIPMENTt Tanks, trucks, jeeps, ducks, tank destroyers, motorized artillery and other equipment are highly expendable, as photo of Germans advancing past burning Allied half-track indicates. PLANES: As enemy's defenses tighten up, plane replacements will be increased. LST HEADS FOR SHORE AS LUZON IS INVADED An LST, loaded with troops heads for a Lingayen beach as the invasion of Luzon got under way. Floats for portable docks can be seen on the side of the landing ship. Other ships stand by, waiting to send their troops ashore. DISABLED VETERANS MAY DRIVE Promise that scr'viccmern who have lost their legs will not be deprived of the convenience and pleasure of auto driving is seen in the fact that the two veterans in the photo above have just won driver's licenses in Georgia. They learned to drive with artifical limbs at Lawson General Hospital, Atlanta, At left is a sergeant of the Georgia State Patrol, who supervised their successful road teats.

There was always a certain amount of disagreement between the hotelkceper and the feed store man. The feed store thermometer could be counted on to he at (cast two 'degrees lower than the one hanging outside the hotel. In the summertime the feed store one was always at least two degrees higher on a blistering day. Of course this was on the say-so of the people con- cerned. Then on Christmas Day we unwrap- ped tour presents to find that one of theta was a thermometer. I immed- iately put it outside the kitchen window On the back porch. It bothered uta all clay and I had to look at least every fifteen minutes to see what the tem- perature was. Next morning the tem- perature dipped clown and I called Ed. Higgins and casually dropped in con- versation the fact that the temperature was so and so. He immediately started arguing because he had heard the tem- perature given on the radio. The only trouble was, as, it later developed, that Ed had got the »umber of vitamins supposedly contained in the sponsor's --pills with the temperature.

A police official explained that except in fairly substantial quan- tities the powder is invisiblesto the naked eye. "But" he added, "antler the violet ray a person whose suit is sprinkled with it will have the appearance almost of a baker.

They say, "Look at our enor- mous war expenditures. If the Government can find all the money it needs for purposes of destruc- tion, it certainly can do it for the purpose of peace," The simple truth is that a gov- ernment hasn't any money of its own. * What it spend; is the money it gets from you and other Canadians, by taxes and borrowing, and wvliat it gets by way of customs and other similar forms of revenue. After the war the Government could continue to spend at the present rate only if its income wvcre at the sante level. Individuals and businesses would have to pay taxes at the same rate they now pay, and lend the same aunts as they are lending through Victory Bonds, war savings certificates, etc. To avoid depressions and want most Canadians would willingly pay and lend. But their ability to do so would depend on them earn- ing the sante amount as they earn under war conditions, Production would have to be as great as it is now. So would our markets, * * * 'I'lte difficulty is that war pro- duction is vastly different from peace production. So much of it is exploded, sunk or quickly worn out that there isn't any comparison. War provides an insatiable, quick market wherein price is no object. In peacetime markets arc not insa- tiable and price is very much an object, There are people who say that a government doesn't need to borrow or tax heavily; that it can "create" stoney, It can, But money is worth only what it can- buy. And if a state creates more than a certain ratio of money the result is the sante as happened in Germany af- ter 'the last' war and what is hap- pening in China today — an in- flation that completely wrecks a nation's economy.
