Celebration for
Janie
By GEORGE GROGAN
<S>. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
VVNU Service
JANE RAINEY looked across the
tnmplit living room at Janie, who
sat relaxed and lovely, gazing sadly
from the window at the Hudson river.
"She’s beautiful," thought Jane. "1
don’t wonder he loves her." June,
too, was beautiful, with the maturity
of forty. She, too, looked somewhat
sad.
Her husband, Clarkson, rustled his
paper nervously. Tension was in the
air. He gazed over the tops of his
glasses at his wife and his daughter.
"They’re beautiful,” he thought. "It's
a darn shame that young whippersnap
per has to spoil it all."
“Well, Janie,” he said, "you’re not
by any chance gracing the family cir
cle with your presence tonight, are
you ?"
A little sarcasm, but a lot of affec
tion. Clarkson Rainey was very fond
of his daughter Janie. And so was
she of him.
“Daddy," she said— “—and moth
er: I’m going over to Molly’s for the
evening. Bert’s going to be there.
But 1 want to tell you and mother
something before 1 go. I’m going to
marry him.”
Clarkson Rainey spoke with an ef
fort, guardedly.
“I don't like that Janie,” he said.
"You know that."
"Yes,” she said, facing her fnther
bravely. “1 know that. You and
mother don't like Bert. But I—love
him."
“Oh, Janie,” said her mother. "It
Isn’t that we don’t like Bert—lie’s a
dear boy, but—”
“Father was a dear boy once—he’ll
outgrow that: l mean Bert will," said
Janie.
Jane and Clarkson talked all eve
ning. "1 won’t have it," Clarkson
stormed. "I won’t have It. He's just
a boy. He's no more fitted to take
care of Janie than—well, It just won’t
do."
Jane raised objections, but she real
ly agreed with him. They couldn't
think of Bert as grown up. They had
known him from babyhood, Just as
they had Janie. "Of course, Clark
son, 1 suppose we ought to be glnd we
know him so well—know he’s decent,
and all that. But If It had only been
Mr. Gregory.”
That was the trouble, of course.
They both fnvored another suitor for
Janie's hnnd, a mnn of twenty-eight,
established, charming, mature. Not
Bert, twenty-two, stumbling at his first
Job, awkward, boyish.
They went to bed that night with
out seeing Janie. While they were
dressing next morning they decided
they must make the best of it "It's
Janie’s life, of course." admitted
Clarkson. “I guess we've got to make
the best of it. Tell you what—I’ll get
four tickets for that show Janie wants
to see, and we’ll have dinner first at the
Bitz. Tell the child to bring her boy
along for our blessing."
But there was no chance to tell
Janie, that morning, of their change
of heart. She had gone, before break
fast, to Molly’s.
Jane tried half a dozen times to get
In touch with Bert by telephone.
“Well, naturally," said Janie, when
she came In at six. "1 told him not to
talk with you—not till I'd seen how
things were. But I’m awfully sorry,
mother. You and father are sports."
i "Yes.” said Jane, contritely. "I said
1 the message was from you.”
It was a radiant Janie who got out
of the taxicab behind her father and
j mother at the guy hotel an hour later.
But when seven-fifteen came and no
Bert appeared—when seven-thirty
came and they had to sit down to
diuner without him, Janie wasn’t so
, happy. She had telephoned his apart
ment. He wasn't In.
So the celebration of Janie’s en
gagement wasn’t very gay, after all.
Her father was all contrition. It was
his bungling fault, he thought. His
reaction toward Bert improved by the
minute.
At quarter past eight three rather
subdued people stepped Into a taxicab
to go to the theater. “Well, for heav
en's sake." said Clarkson. A stooped

WHAT STABILIZATION
MEANS
By Professor G. F. Warren, of
Cornell University, one of the
nation’s foremost economists.
(Continued from last week.)
The Gold Clause
A considerable number of
bonds of the United States call
for payment in a gold dollar of
present weight and fineness.
This does not apply to Federal
land bank bonds or mortgages
nor to most of the mortgages of
joint-stock land banks and life
insurance .companies. These
agencies agree to pay their
creditors in lawful money, and
are therefore protected if they
collect lawful money from their
debtors.
The problem today is not
whether creditors will be paid
in any particular brand of dol
lar, but whether they will get
anything. Sometimes they get
less than nothing, for they get
a non-income paying property
with delinquent taxes. If the
dollar is revalued, Congress
will probably invalidate such
contracts, or if this i3 consid
ered unconstitutional, can eas
ily tax the profits derived
from such a source by a suffic
ient amount to prevent collect
ion.
II me price icvei weic ic
stored, business would proceed,
jobs would be available, tax
payers would be relieved of
feeding millions of unemployed
and it would be easier to pay
one-third more than the bond
calls for than it is now to pay
the present sum.
The gold clause is probably
of little value to any creditor,
and even if enforced it is a min
or matter when considering the
innumerable effects of deflat
ion. Ten million unemployed
j is a far more serious matter
than the gold clause.
If we continue to allow our
whole price and debt structure
to be based on accidental dis
j coveries of some one commod
I ity or the accidents of demand
| for it, we should not be sur
prised to see the social system

ployed—please.”
But Clarkson took the shabby figure
by the coat collar. "You poor goose,"
he said. The damp, stooped man
straightened out and, under a worn
coat and battered hat, emerged a?
Bert. “What ever did you do that
for?”
“1 had to see Janie—she telephoned
me, or somebody did, to meet her hen
at seven. Well, 1 saw you go In anc
couldn’t get her eye. So r paid fivi
I dollars to a fellow selling (lowers foi
I his coat and hat—gave him mine—am
his flowers, and I’ve been hangini
around since then waiting for Janh
to come out hoping to get a chanci
to speak to her disguised as a flowe

“Oh. Bert.” said Janie's mothei
“you're such a baby. Here, get li

that depends on such an un
stable medium of exchange
seriously threatened. The pres
ent revolutions and political
upheavals in the world are the
direct and indirect results of a
breakdown in the medium of
exchange. If such a monetary
system continues, every invest
or, farmer, home owner, and
business man should give first
attention to the probable sup
plies and demands for gold be
fore he considers the details of
his business.

ALASKA NOTES

known Alaska journal, has
.‘hanged its name to “The Alas
