She still loves Rois and cannot
forget him. JEFF GRANT, young
ehgineer who lives at the same
roeming house as Janet, appears
one night just in time to save hes
purse from a holdup man. Janet
becomes interested in the SILVANI

them and later they find a job for|
PAT SILVANI, the father. |
Joss angd Janet become close|

either, Janet sat up very straigh!
feeling a trifle self-conscious,
Then she heard footsteps aud
a woman with gray hair appearc!
in the doorway.
%"‘.{_"am Mrs. Curtis,” she said
‘ind you are Miss Hill? How Jo
you do.”
3 ’gi'?;"‘(')Ul'tls moved forward, She
%‘ slightly less than medium

the pnk and white complexion
that often goes with stoutnes.
She shad a round face and a dou
le chin. Impossible to imagine
A?!fohe more in contrast to Bruce
Hamilton’s sparse, rangy figure
and yet there was something that
was alike about them.
3 ?net arose. ‘“Yes, I'm Miss
Hill,” she said. “Mr. Hamilton
tfiume you're looking for a sec
retary.”
. The woman motioned Janet back
into her chair and sank into one
facing it,
_ “Yes” she said, nodding. “It’s
my brother's idea. I've never had
& secretary but since my daughter
was married I've been alone here,
Perhaps too much alone! My
brother tells me you're very efli
cient,”
In the dark eyes, Janet dm*ldv:!l
tkat made Mrs. Curtis and Mrs.
Hamilton look alike. Only Mrs.’
Curtis was little and plump an!
ineffectual while Bruce Hamilton
was big and brusque and dictato
¥iel. Janet found herself quit “
suddenly agreeing with Hamilton
that his sister did need someone to
mana e her affairs.
She smiled. ‘l've been at th:
E‘very Home office for over twec

utes longer and listened wihie
l,\ll'sv Curtis talked rather vaguely
‘about the duties she wanted her
lSl’(’l!‘!.l!’) to take over. She didn’
ask qestions about Janet’ past
experience. She didn't even sAy
definitely that Janet was hired for
the position but seemed to assum
';lm: was understood.
“When would you want me &
lu'nn- to work? the girl asked,
|- I 8 next Monday too soon?”
. No, Janet sald, it wasn't tor
!sunn Hamilton had arranged that
she as to be free at the end of
ine week.
sAbout the salary—" Janet be
san hesitantly.
Mrs. Curtis gave a little excla
aation. YT'a forgotten’ all about
that!” she said. “Dear me! Dear |
me! Well, of course, youre to live |
here in the house and there'll be
ne expenses of any sort, Would |
¢2O a week be satisfactory to be-
Zin with, |
Janet computed rapidly. Thirly]‘
dollars a week with no living ex
penses was considerably more
than she had been earning at the
Every Home office. Wiy, it was
almost equal to SSO!
“That will be satisfactory,” she
gaid. “And I'll be ready to go te
work Monday morning.”
The e was a light sound beside
her and Janet turned. A huge yel-i
low Persian cat wearing a blue
ribbon about its neck stood eyeing
her. The cat arched its neck in
quisitively. |
“Oh, there's Buster!” Mrs, Cur
tis exclaimed. “He always comes
to see who's here. Buster, come
say how-do-you-do to Miss Hill!”
The cat, instead of showing any
signg of friendliness, remained
planted where it was.
“It's a beautiful creature,” Ja
net said admiringly. This was
the animal, of course, of which
Hamilton had spoken. It was
plain to be seen that Buster was
a favored member of the house
hold.
“I've had him since he was a
kitten,”” Mrs. Curtis explained.
“He's three years old now and
such an intelligent cat—"
All at once Buster intorruptod‘
thig conversation. Slowly he stroll-‘
ed forward and brushed against]
Janet’s knee. He said, “Me-row!"
and then, lightly, gracefully, leap
ed into her lap.
“Why, Buster!” Mrs. Curtis
cried. ‘“Why, did you ever 'see
anything like that? Imagine, get
ting right into your lap. Buster
never makes friends with strang
ers so quickly. Well, now, isn't
that wonderful?” *
Tt didn’'t seem particularly won
derful to Janet but it did seem to
settle ona thing. Since Buster had
accepted her there was no doubt
but that Janet was hired asg Mrs.
Curtis’ social secretary. When she
lefy the house a few minutes later
it was with the understanding that
on the following Monday she would
return,
Hamilton seemed pleased when
she reported this to him. The
other girls at the office asked
questions curiously. They wanted
to know what a social secretary
did. Would it mean going to par
ties and meeting a lot of swell so
ciety people? Janet laughed and
said no, she was quite sure it did
n't. Pauline Hayden urged Janet
to call her up ocecasionally and
she promised that she would.
it was a busy week and the
daye flew by. At the office Hamil
ton was trying to wind up out
standing accounts, to get work
done that would make it easier
for his successor to take the reins.
He had innumerable ’éonferences
with the business manager. He
would let correspondence wait or
sandwich it in between appoint
ments and then Janet would have
to work until nearly six transcrib
ing her notes.
Mrs, Snyder regretting losing a
steady roomer, “one who was al
waysg ready with the rent money
and no trouble at all” but she
took the news of Janet's depar
ture philosophically. She had never
she said, been one to tell others‘
|how to manage their own affairs.
lAnd if some day Janet wanted to
| come back she'd be more than
iwelcome. ‘
Mollie Lambert was more out
gpoken. Mollie was frankly envi
ous: when Janet told her about the
beautiful home in which she was
[to live. “Gosh' what a break!"
!she exclaimed. “But I guess you
deserve it. Maybe you'll invite me
out some time, will you?”
“Why, of course I will!”
| Mollie eyed the other girl.
| “That's be swell. You know what
|1 bet, Janet? I bet you'll meet
isome rich fellow out there and
hell fall in love with you.

THE BANNER.HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
At this meeting, it was suggest
-led that an organization 'known as
the ‘‘Georgia State Council For
| lWork Among Negro Boys” should
\lbe organized. .
: The organization ' immediately
.lre(:ognized the needs of Negro boys
| and agreed that a great deal of ef
| fort should be directed in the set
ting up of a program .for rural
| boys who constitute about 77.8 per
l‘(-ent of the 129,000 Negro boys in

the ones who exercise supervision
cver construction contracts’ and if
they, “capable and experienced”
should be removed, the affairs of
the denartment mwlight as well be
turned over teo ‘“‘undesirable con
tractors.” § 1
The governor in ordering the
highway board to make drastic
cuts in the budget for the gquarter,
acted under a provision of the
code which provides: X
“All payments from the treas
ury, unless = otherwise . provided,
«hall be made upon the warrant
of the governor, and he may with
‘huld his approval on any account
and certified by the 'comptroller
general, The warrant shall always
specify on what appropriation or
fund it is drawn,” ¢
| ‘Board Replies
i “If the communication of your
excellency is to be ' construed asg
implying that you have the au
thority to carry out the suggestion
made in your communication,
whether this bLoard '-is’ willing of
vnwilling to agree thereto,” the
letter read in part, “then it wili
be readily seen that the powers
which the statute purported to
give this board were given to your
excellency and not to the board.'
“The board exists under the
statutes hereinbefore quoted
(those dealing with the powers of
the Board) giving the board full
power and autherity and full con
trol of the Highway department
and all road work and highway
work in this state. ‘This depart
ment is willing for all of its acts
tc be rthade public and is at all
times willing and ready to receive
suggestions as to anything done
or proposed to- be done.
“All projects for work, the em
rloyment of the personnel of th:
| department, the amounts of sal
aries and expenses paid, the pur
chase and repair of equipment,
and all other matters coming
| within the scope and purpose of
highway work, are under the eon
| trol of the Highway board which
| has full power and authority to
quote the statute, over the same.
“Not only that the Highway
| board the right to fix the salary of
|the chairman and the engineer,
Ibut it has the right to fix the
"s;tluries ¢f all employes of the de
partment, antd no other official of
“_thv state has a right or authority
lover the same.”
, Expenses Cut
i The board told the governor i*
‘had made efforts to economize and
had reduced salaries drastically
within the last three years as weil
as expenses, .
“Georgia is a vast state,” the
letter read, “with 59,000 square
miles and 8,300 miles of state aid
highways of which 3,100 is paved,
and we say with pride that the
work done upon the highways
within the last three years has ex
ceeded the expectations of the
most ‘optimistic. Not only has the
work been of vast magnitude and
extent, Lut the class of work per
formed compares favordbly with
that in any state in the union.”
The board wrote the governor
circumstances are such that ar-
Litrary reductions mfgxgenses can
not be made by the board at any
time or at random without viola
ting contracts and conditions al
ready existing, eLag
The board said it had contracts
with 111 counties for construction
ol roads by convicts labor, which
would otherwise be turned back
iu the prison commission and thus
become a charge on the state. ]
Other existing contracts were
also called to the governor's atten
tion by the board.

A new sore spot in Russo-Japanese relations is Manchuli, rail
head at the Soviet-Manclioukuo border, pictured and mapped
above. Manchoukuo and Russia jointly operate the Chinese Kast
ern Railroad (A), which is the Soviets’ direct route to Vladivos
tok, important Pacifie port. Manchoukuo officials have blockaded
tracks at Manchuli, severing connections with Russia. This fol
lowed the Soviets’ refusal te return to the Chinese Eastern 3400
cars and 83 locomotives which they allegedly hauled into Russia.
Russia, meantime, is forced to use the longer northern trans-
Siberian line (B) to redchk Vladivostok.
