Slcrrltt Tay lor, former Director of Transit hero and now manager of tho passenger transportation nnd housing division of tho United States shipping board These projects aro so nearly com pleted, said Mr. Taylor, that It was de cided to finish them. The housing facilities aro needed as badly now as they were during tho war, ho declared, and under tho agreement with tho owners of tho shipbuilding plants the shipyards will take th;m over from tho Government after tho treaty of pcaco la signed. Mr. Taylor told tho Sennto Commerce Committee that the housing division of tho Emergency FJeet Corporation had canceled all of tho contracts upon which work had not been started and upon which the work was not well under way. Tho,proJects which It was decided to com plete, he said, averaged 81 per cent com pleted on January 1 nnd they could bo finished nnd sold to tho shipyards with out having the Tcderal Government suf fer any lora.

Ituth, strange to say, felt slightly ill at easo although she was angry at herself for feeling so. She had been In tho bathroom with her arms plunged into a forthy basin of melted soaji suds. Three of her fine georgette waists wrung out, strewed the wash basin. Somehow this fact made Ituth uncomfortable, she felt at a dlsadvan- age. Helen was so smartly dressed for the street, so remote from the washing out of even tho finest garments. Ituth left her work, and went Into the living room with Helen. "Well," she asked Interestedly, "any news?" "I'm on tho trail of something." Helen returned. Ituth was surnrlsed at the little Btab of Jealousy that went through her. How small to feel Jealous of Helen. "Something Interesting?" Sho forced herself to Inquire. "I think so; It makes me thrill to feci that I can earn anything at all. I never knew how It would bo to act ually earn money. I suppose any Job no matter how small and insignificant would cxclto me." "But Helen, how about regular office hours? Won't it bo awfully hard to keep them? You know jou'ro not ac customed to them at all, and any work that you get will be different from tho work jou had in France." "I don't caro if It Is hard, somehow I expect It to be, and I'll bo glad. I don't want to have time to think much, and as for going back to tho llfo I lived before, tho Idea Is Impossible." "How you'vo changed!" Ituth sighed. Helen laughed. "You sound as If ou didn't like mo ns well." "I don't know you as well." 'Oh, Ituth, you'ro foolish." That sounded like tho old Helen, the gay Inconsequent Helen. Buth felt a sudden Impulse to keep Helen In that mood. "Stay to lunch?" she asked. "Oh, I can't, dear I Just ran over for a few moments to see your place I have an appointment at 12:30 and another at 2:30. I'll Just have time for a bite In between them, you see." "I can see that I'm not going to have very much to do with ou now that ou have this new Idea In jour head," Buth cniiM nnt lieln R.ivlnir. "Not as much as bciore, pernaps, uui when we do seo each other I'll have bo much more to talk about." Ituth wis about to retort. "What about me?" hut stopped. That would be virtually admitting that Helen would be more Interesting after sho was em bnrked on u business career, she would not do that. Nothing semed right after Helen left, and for the rest of that day Buth felt restless. Sho had a desperate feeling of nnt rnunttni- tn the Rcheme nf things. -...!

NURSES' HOME FOR SOLDIERS Mcdico-Chirurpical Building to Be Billeting Quarters Tlnnn rumifst nf Mrs. fieorgtvW. Chillis Drexel and Mrs George W. Boyd, of the Bed Cross Councils' special committee on care, sustenance and relief agreed to Srovlde equipment for the old nurses' ome of tho Medlco-Chl Hospital, 1721 Arch street, to billet small detachments of soldiers passing through the cits. At a cost of $3900 a boiler wilt be In stalled by the city to provide heat for tho building, and about $2000 more will be necessary to furnish It. Tho adjoining building may be used If tho nurses' home property prpves too small. Christmas Gift Leads to Injury A pair of roller skates given to him by his father as a Christmas present was Indirectly responsible for an accident last night to nine-year-old Baymond Mus taro, 710 North Tenth street. The boy was "hitching on" to a milk truck on Corinthian nvenue near Poplar street, when he was thrown to the ground, a wheel of the truck insslngover his leg The doctors at Drcxel Hospital say they may have to amputate the leg. Wri ere? She ran in this "Did you? morning." "At Blackthorr ', Buth's eyes wl leped. "Tou don't gen erally cat there, do you?" "Sometimes I do, when I have th time." ' "Where you alone?" "No, Betty wrts with me." "Betty Imbrtr atuth exclaimed after a moment's silence. "You had lunch with Betty Lmbert." Buth's tone should have warned Scott, it was a. mixture nrincrtauious surprise, anger and frigidity. "Why, jes." hf returned. Buth felt a pudden lump rise in her throat and quick 'teah sting her evellds. She was hot one' moment and cold the next, her breath cameltast. Involuntarily her hands clenched, bit she forced her self to speak quietly although she wanted to shriek out the words. "How did you happen to lunch with her?' "Ban Into her on thBlstrett," "Had lou Intended to go to Black thorn's?" 1 "No, why?" 1 "You went there to take Betty then?" Buth returned, Irnorlnk the question. "Why, Buth, what rrpkes you take that attitude?" 'Take that attltudo7 fid you think I would be pleased at your) taking another woman to lunch? Is that the attitude you expected?" Buth was rapidly los ing her self-control. I "I certainly did not think that yon would object to my having lunch with a friend of ours " J "Of ours? She's a frleid of your own choosing " I "But I thought you were growing to Ilko her." "If I had been. I never could like her now, that's settled. I worider what Helen thought when she saw you. O, I never thought that I could feel as humiliated as I do this minute."

Part of tho Increase wis caused by the construction of the new Hulmcvlllc bridge which cost $40,000, According In the annual statement it cost Bucks County $31619 for the main tenance of Its criminals nnd the bill for caro or ine insane amounted to tn.tvt. A total of $20,600 was nald for county appropriations as follows: Bucks County home. $18 000; law library. $500; tl. A. It.

THE original, Investment In a good camera Is only the first expense. It's like the purchnse of an automobile. After you have It tho upkeep may provo very costly. But with a camera the matter of expense In tho way of developing and printing your picture may bo greatly lessened. There Is a developing nnu printing outfit which comes that Includes everything but the lantern, and so sim ple and easy Is It to understand that even a young boy can opernto It. Com plete with pans, paper and chemical fluids It may bo had for $1.65, And think of tho money saved In developing and printing besides It's fun. There's an unfortunate feature In the buying of some perfumes some of It evaporates. But sachet powder, now, combines the delicacy of scent with tho added advantage that It will last longer Ono of the loveliest of perfumes, greatly sought, not so much because It has taken Its name from a famous woman, but because of the Innate charm, the subtle, alluring scent, comes In sachet form. For tho slender purse, a goodly slied bottle Is out of tho question, but even she who must count her pennies can have a small bottle to use when she wears her fussiest gown, and best loved pin and necklace. For a smpa thetlc shonkeener has little phials con- talnlng somo of the precious grnlns for fifteen cents and twenty-live cents each With the Introduction Into milady's wardrobe of the dnrk dress, with no col lar of white for softness at tho neck, comes an ever-growing demand for brightly colored clvvlns and necklaces to relievo the severity or me onc-coior gown The well-dressed woman never overlooks the value of contrast In her clothes.

Complaints against tho skip-stop sis- torn from business crganliatlons and In dividuals will be received at a public hearing to be held In Philadelphia Jan uary 29, before the Public Service Com mission of Pennsvlvanla. The Philadelphia ltapld Transit Com pany almost simultaneously Issued a re Ply to tho bill of complaint brought be fore the commission by tho t'nlted Busi ness Men's Association of Philadelphia.

T persisted In adhering to tho sjstcm Its defense Is based on the report of the committee of thirteen which found the sjstcm was not responsible for any fatal accidents , Tho company formulated even morel completely Its determination to put tho question of skip-stops up to the trav elers on the various 82 lines of the city, though it did not explain Just what method of balloting would be used, or how It proposed to secure tho presenta tion of the w IsheB of the car-rldcrn Sub ject to ih action of tho Public Service Commission, tho company said, a vote on each lino would bo taken to determine whether skip-stops would be- retained or discarded. Tho company ndmltted that miny of tho corners now skipped wore wrongly located, and Intimated that these would be revised by poputir vote on lines where skip-stops were main tained Admitting that one-third of the car riders are Inconvenienced, the compin claim that the saving In time and sirv Ico tn the other two-thirds was suffi cient to Justify malntcnntue of the hik tern.
