He Didn’t
Forget
By ALICE DUANE

WNU Service
FOR twenty-five years the annual
bull at the Wildcllft School for
OIrls had been the big event; then all
the cadets from the nearby military
academy came In their colorful uni
forms of French blue; then sweet
hearts, fathers and mothers from
home.
Tonight the college was In readi
ness for the colossal event. At her
window at the far end of the second
floor hall Fran Marshall, teacher of
English and literature, sat looking out
over the rolling campus bathed In a
soft sliver moonlight. Twenty years
ago, she had been a girl of VVlldcllfT
and had been thrilled at the prospects
of the annual ball.
She, too, had had her party dress—
a white voile with lace-edged ruffles
around the bottom.
And It was twenty years ago tonight
that the waltz and two-step had sound
ed out over the campus until the wee
hours of the morning, and Fran Mar
shall had danced nine dances with the
tall blond cadet In blue; had walked
with him beneath the oaks In the
moonlight, and eaten her Ice cream and
cake with him behind the palms In
the gymnasium.
He had liked her white dress, but
most of all, he had liked her emerald j
earrings, long slender pendants set In
dull gold, falling nlrnost to her shoul
ders. He had said emerald green was
his favorite color. And he had kissed
her that night and sgld he would corns
back.
Fran never left Wlldcllff. Following
her graduation, she had been placed
on the faculty. And she was smilingly
tolerant of the whispered consultations
long after the quiet bell had rung.
They were young, and only once . . .
she argued to herself.
She moved to her dressing table to
arrange her hair, when a dark, slen
der girl came In, radiant In a chlfTon
frock.
Peggy Thompson was the school’s
peppiest girl and rules meant little to
her. Fran knew of the happy-go-lucky
father who was seldom home long
enough to get acquainted with his love
ly, motherless daughter. Peggy
showed letters from Africa, Asia, Cen
tral America, and recently, from
Egypt.
“I thought I'd find you dressing for
the dance. Miss Marshall. Sam is
here, and I don't know what to do with
him."
“Sam?" queried Fran. "Which one
of the swains ts Sam?"
“Sam Is ray father. He landed In
New York this morning.
“Oh, I am glad he Is your father. I
thought It might be another admirer
arriving in addition to the rhree al
ready here. Aren't you happy to see
your father?”
“Oh. yes," drawled the girl. "But I
hardy know Sam. He Is a good old
scout, but such a vagabond! But I do
declare, Miss Marshall, 1 don't know
what I shall do with him with Bobby
and Hank and Ed to look after.”
"Well, my dear, don’t neglect your
father. You are all he has, you know.
Let the boys shift for themselves.”
“Sam Is lecturing me something
fierce for having my hair shingled.
Says he likes old-fashioned girls. Oh,
Miss Marshall, let me do your hair.
Part It in the middle and coll It low
on your neck. Please . . . now , , .
And you should have earrings.”
Fran Marshall smiled at herself In
the mirror an hour later. Her usual
ly sleek hair was softened over the
ears and colled low on her neck. Her
dress was white, a lovely soft silk
thing she had bought In New York.
Fran always wore a white dress. For
a second her hand toyed with the em
erald earrings In her Jewel case.
Twenty years ago tonight she had worn
those exquisite things . . . and then
she was fastening them In her ears.
As she Joined the other members of
the faculty, Peggy Thompson spied her
and came across the floor holding fast
to the hand of a big blond man.
"Miss Marshall, Sam. And Miss
Marshall, this Is my father.”
He looked straight Into Fran’s eyes,
a questioning gaze. He smiled at her
as he took her hand In his, and with
the other hand, he toncbed an earring
that nearly reached to her shoulder.

WHAT IS A MAN WORTH?
Recent agitation against
fabulous salaries or other com
pensation paid to toipt-notchers
in the business and amusement
world have brought to light
some amazing figures.
Nearly everyone is familiar
withithe high values placed up
on certain athletic, movie and
radio stars; also there is gen
eral knowledge that high rail
road and other industrial ex
ecutives have been receiving
enormous salaries.
One outstanding example of
extravagant remuneration for
personal services is that re
ceived by George W. Hill,
president of the American
Tobacco Company. According
to ,the official reports furnished
to stockholders of that com
pany Mr. Hill has received sal
aries and bonuses as follows:
In addition to a salary of
$160,000 a year he received a
bonus of $447,870 in 1929,
$842,508 in 1930, $891,570 in
in 1931. In 1932 his salary
was cut to $120,000, but in
addition he received a bonus
of $669,500, or a total of $789,
500 for the year.
These large bonuses', it is
understood, have been based
upon the net earnings of the
company, supposedly due to
Mr. Hill’s ability as a manager.
And there is no doubt that he
has been and is today one of
the most efficient and success
ful executives in the world. In
spite of the depression, his
company has continued to
make enormous profits. And
during the four years since the
business slump he has received
between $600,000 and$l,000,
000 a year for his services.
The question arises as to
whether he or any other man
is entitled to receive that much
money for managing any busi
ness, however large it may be.
i In other words, how much can
i the services of any man possib
j ly be worth ? A hard question
! to answer.
•ireos . . . WlldeUff . . . ana MOM
twenty year* are bridged. I would
have known you anyway, but tbo em
erald really prove* yon are you. I
came back, twenty year* ago, but you
had not given me your name! I
couldn't And you, but I never forgot"
"For the lor* of Mike, Sam. what
are you talking about?" demanded hi*
daughter.
"I mean, young lady, you can save
a dance for your old Dad along about
the last. 1 will be busy up to that
time. Here comes your young Lochia
var In blue, just as I came, twenty
years ago. Run away, my dear, and
we’ll see you later.”
Peggy Thompson came Into Fran
Marshall's room, long after the last
guest had gone. She snuggled dowa
in the big chair beside the window.
"I don't know what It la all about
Miss Marshall, but Sam and t are ever
so happy. Someone to lecture us and
love us. We both need you. And
I’m ever so glad that every person
doesn't wear emerald eArrlnga ... If

STRANGE TIDAL
MOVEMENT
One of the most curious tide
phenomena knowno- ccurs ev
ery spring in March or April
at St. Lawrence Island in Ber
ing Sea, near Niome. An enor
mous tidal movement sends the
breakers and spray to a height
of from thirty to fifty feet, and
lasts only a day or night. The
normal tide at the island is only
a foot high. The huge tide is
not necessarily accompanied by
a storm and its cause is un
known.
If this annual high tide occurs
at Nome, it is unnoticed owing
to the great masses of shore
ice along that section of the
Alaska coast when it occurs.
ALASKA NOTES
Volney Richmond, long as
sociated with Alaska, has been
selected as chairman of the
Alaska committee of the Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce.
Alex Bolan, Seward truck
gardener, who is noted for ex
perimenting in unusual pro
ducts, has a small crop of Vir
ginia leaf tobacco, raised last
summer, being cured. Pre
vious experiments in raising to
bacco in Alaska have met with
some success.
The cost of living in Ketchi
kan is 75 per cent higher than
in Seattle, according to a state
ment and figures presented re
cently to the House of Repre
sentatives by Alaska Delegate
A. J. Dimond while arguing
for the exemption of federal
employees in Alaska from the
15 per cent pay cut imposed by
the Economy Act.
Mr. Dimond also stated that
living costs at Anchorage are
185 per cent higher than in
Seattle.
