IF THEY REALLY NEED SCRAP i
Westbrook Pegler is going all- I
out to have the government take |
bumpers off private cars as a
source of scrap iron. The move,
if general, would produce a lot
of metal of one kind or another
tout would not produce nearly as
much as one proposed by other
sources — to trade automobile
owners a 100-pound puddle-
jumper for their 3,000 pounds of
excellent metal.
As we pointed out, it doesn’t
require a heavy, luxurious and
well-sprung machine to provide
transportation at 15-25 miles an
hour. A very light machine could
use very light tires, even the
garden-hose size used on Victory-
bicycles. Most of the frame and
body could be made of composi-
tion board, plywood, or even plain
veneering. Less metal, less rub-
ber, less gasoline would be need- >
ed.
The light motors needed for
such a vehicle could be turned
out by only one plant with com-
plet standardization of every
grart, to permit super-mass pro-
duction. At least 20.000.000 of our
30,000,000 automobiles could be
turned in under such a program
and would yield not less than
30,000,000 tons of steel and rub-
ber.
The great cry for the conserva-
tion of tires is that defense work-
ers need them. The idea of ty-
ing up a ton and a half of vital
material for the transportation of
one worker a few miles a day is
ridiculous but not funny. If it be
argued that under the ride-pool-
ing program the defense worker’s
ear will Carry a full load, we beg
to remind that pooling as ordi-
narily considered involves turn-
about use of machines. If five
men are in a “pool” there will i
be four machines either out of
use or being used by the fami- 1
tes of the workers. The strategic 1
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
I PAM DROPPED her eyes and
nodded miserably. “It was on ac-
count of Mother. She'd been giving
him money. She was sorry for him,
that was all, but . . . but she’d
sent him notes. Oh, ye gods, what
SILLY notes! Things that read
like . . . well, if Dad ever saw
them, there’d be only one thing for
him to think.”
Barbara’s held breath escaped.
“But if THAT wasn’t true, why
didn’t you tell your mother and let
her do something about it? The boy
was blackmailing you!”
”1 know he was.” Pam gave her
a full glance. She looked not a day
over ten years old. "But I was
afraid somehow Dad would find
out. I hoped I could buy the notes
back from Nicky somehow. . . .
He was here last night. I got rid
of him by threatening to have him
arrested and deported. I just
guessed that he was Italian, not
Spanish. Some lucky guess!”
"Slower, please, honey. I’m con-
fused.”
"I had a letter from him yester-
day, saying I had to meet him at
Timmy’s tavern. He’d been here
before, looking the ground over.
... I went there last night It
started to snow and the top was
down on my car ...”
"I know about that Tell me
what happened last night”
“It was the same old thing all
over again. For hours. First he said
tie loved me and wanted me to
elope. Then he got nasty. Some-
time during all this, he said he was
going out to call up Dad. After
that, I didn’t know what I was do-
ing. But I had a brain wave. That
was when I guessed right and
threatened him and gave him some
money I had to pay his way back
to Santa Fe. He took it and gave
me the notes. ... I didn’t even
know what I was doing when I hit
that man. He came out of the dark
suddenly right in my way. I wasn’t
even sure I’d hit him. I was afraid
if Dad . . .”
"Pamela, dear, Barbara said,
"why did you let a molehill become
a mountain? Why didn’t yc let an
older person handle it?”
"I didn’t know what to do. . . .1
only knew . . . Barbara, there’s
something else I want to tell you.”
"Now is the time."
"It's about my parents—and me.
We haven't ever been like a ... a
family. Dad and Mother are both
swell people, but they didn’t seem
to see each other that way. . . .
Lately, I’ve thought that Claire
was beginning to be more ...
more like a mother.” '

materials are tied up in those
machines just as effectively as
though they were being used by
their individual owners. If each
worker had his scooter car, cycle
car, motorbike or motor tricy-
cle, a total of 14,500 pounds of
metal and rubber would be sav-
ed for the war effort.
Before the bureaucrats arm
themselves with John Doe war-

it would be well for them to in-
vestigate the possibility of get-
ting materials wholesale in the

"But he’s going to know,” Bar-
bara said. ”He'« got to know. He'd
like that kind of a family you
want, Pam. You ought to know him
better.”
Pam gave her an alarmed
glance. "You’re not going to tell
him?”
Barbara shook her head. "You
are,” she said.
Pam shrank back In her pillows.
“Pam, your father and mother
love you—and each other. Thle is
the thing that’s going to bring you
all together. . . . He’s at home
now. In the library, doing some
work. Here . . . put on your robe

“Can they send me to jail?” she
asked.
“They won’t." Barbara said
cheerfully. “Your father will fix
things."
"How ?” Pam
very stoutly.
“What good could come of send-
ing you to Jail ?”
"But the law—’’
“Mr. Tobler Is going to get well.
He Won't prosecute if he's gener-'
ously provided for. And,” Barbara
added with elaborate casualness,
"If you feel any moral obligation,
wouldn’t it be better to do some-
thing really fine for a lot of peo-
ple? You ki\ow the town needs a
hospital ...”
Pam, Barbara was chagrined to
note, seemed to be paying little at-
tention to what she was saying.
"Where are those silver mules?”
Pam said, on her knee, beside the
bed. Looking up suddenly she said,
"Barbara, suppose I had let you
take this rap. Would you have let
me get away with it?"
"I haven’t thought it out I would
have had to think of my little boy.
But when I remember that you
helped me out when I had no other
place to turn . . . maybe . . .
maybe, mind you • • . I might
have.”
Pam slipped her feet Into the
mules. "I think you’re crazy!” she
said fiercely. "Some day you’re go-

louse In people, and what are you
going to do then?”

Pam’s hair-brush was a tew

down on the dressing table and
looked at Barbara in the mirror.
"Tony?" she said, lifting her
head a little, keeping her eyes on
Barbara's reflection. “Why Tony?”
"Because he’d know sooner or
later when you’re married to him.”
Pam lowered her head over the
table top. Her falling hair hid her
face from Barbara’s view. “I'm not
going to marry Tony," she said.
"He’s not in love with me. It's you
he’s in love with.”
There was a split second. Then:
“In love with me?" Barbara
laughed a little laugh that didn’t
quite come off.
"I told you most people were
louses I knew he was in love with
you, but I wanted him, so I went
after him." Pam raised her head,
frowned at herself in the mirror,
picked up a lipstick and put it
down.
“Pam—”
"He’s still In love with you. and

est break in her voice. "I don’t
want to get married. I just want to
be in love and have fun. . . .
Hasn’t he ever told you. you

Barbara was shaking her head
in the sillibst way. "I’m not sure,”
she murmured, beginning to re-
member things. That day when
they went on a picnic.
“As for me, if I get out of this
jam, Barbara, know what I want
to do? I want to go to a ranch.
Me, I'm mad about horses."
