CHAPTER 23
fffiRKMIAH EDGE pressed a
J Sutton m the oox-like con'
traptioo on Ms desk ana a girt
spoke as if from a long way
aft “Tea, Mr. Edge.”
“Two things, Ethel Find out
U Mr. Vance is still in his office,
and put me through to Mr.
Jameson.”
“Yes. Mr. Edge-
Edge looked up f‘ Robison.
“Jameson la the factory
manager of Silver Queen and
chief chemist.- he said, and
stared out ot the window.
Grisekla Vance waa by Rolll-
son's side, and he was aware
of the faint perfume as he was
very conscious of her nearness.
A man’s voice rang out:
‘•Hallo, Jerry, want me?”
“Excuse me. Mi. Edge,” said
the girl over the talking bos
“Mr. Paul is 1**11 in his office.'
“Thanks, all right . . . Yes,
Reggie, can you come to my
office in a hurry, bringing a
few boxes of 2YCI batch with
you?”
“Repeat”
“2YC12. ’
Reggie Jameson sounded as
if he were In the same room.
“There won’t be much, of that
left, It's nearly three weeks old.
Couldn't come and see me could
you? I’ve a couple of spots of
bother and ought to be here for
half an hour. Ill send for the
powder."
“All right, m come," said
Edge: He pressed the button,
and jumped up. “Will you wait
here. Griselda? Better If you're
not seen in the factory.”
“I'll wait.” she promised.
“Good.” Edge looked at Roili-
son. “Care to come with me,
Mr. Robison ?"
"Td like to very much.”
-Goou,” said Edge again.
Never had a man lived up to
hir name so truly: h* could not
have been more edgy. An irri-
tant tn a single box of face
powder wasn't likely to nave
suen an effect on him: the
questions tn Robison's mind
grew louder.
“This way.” Edg» opened a
second door, and led the way
along • narrow passage; In a
tow seconds they were outside.
rucrax
“Have you told anyone
about this, Mr. Robison?”
“No"
*Tb be most grateful if you
keep it to yourself. It may be
nothing of course, but—well, I
know I can be frank with a
auui at your reputation.”
■dga smiled as If be really
dUMt want to br frank with
anyone. **We bad some trouble
with a lipstick, a few weeks
traduced into it, and it scratched
the lips. Luckily, lt was dis-
covered before substantial
stocks left the factory, and we
were able to recover all which
had *one out Then again—we
had some ridiculous trouble
with a nail varnish remover,
a constituent with an un-
pleasant odor bod been added.
That reached the shops, but
didn’t get very fai.” He looked
earnestly uto Robison’s eyes.
"You see why this has shaken
me.”
“It would shake me too,” said
Robison, dryly.
“Yea WeU, let’s get on,” Edge
said, and pushed open the door
of the building.
They stepped in.
A faint haze, actually of the
powder, filled the air ot the
big room. At the long benches
sat the girls, turbanned and
smocked, all bending over mov-
ing belts which contained boxes.
Edge paused, near the end of
one of the benches. By their
side was a large bin, almost
waist high, and two feet across:
it waa covered with a film of
pinkish powder. Tiny, misty
clouds of powder came from It,
and from a curious contraption
above it This, also coated with
the flesh-colored powder, like
the floor and the walls and
everything here, looked like an
enormous lypodermic syringe.
A make-like length of rub-
ber tubing ran from the bin to
the ’needle’ of the ’syringe’. A
girl sitting in front of this kept
taking empty boxes off a mov-
ing conveyor, belt, and putting
them beneath the 'needle'; pow-
der poured from it, the box was
filled, and the girt pushed it
back on to the conveyor and
put another underneath. In all
there were a dozen machines
working on the same principle.
Edge picked up an empty box.
“See that,” he said, and
pointed. The cellophane cover
was already in position, sealed
and drum tight—as it would be
in any box of powder. He turned
it upside down to reveal a hole
tn the cardboard bottom. “We
fib it through there by that
vacuum fiber, then fit one of
these discs”—be stretched out
and picked up a disc, fitting it
into the hole—“end then paste
the label over it. Three different
operations, partly done mech-
anically, of course. These are
the only hand operations in the
whole process.”
He looked up at the 'hypo-
dermic needle*. “That's the
fiber. Sucks powder out of the
bln, and fibs the boxes. If that
—bu. come on.”
They left the powder room.
next door, where the big. box-
like containers were suspended
in mid-air, machinery thumped
and clattered, big drums were
filled with powder, huge paper
sacks were piled along the
wails. Here, only men were
working.
“This vay," said Edge.
He led the way into the lab-
oratory. Several men in white
coats were busy, and no one
took any notice ot the new-
comers. Jameson sat in a corner
office with glass partitions,
talking to a younger man in a
white smock.
Edge opened the door.
“More trouble," growled
Jameson, “one ot the range
mixes won’t pack properly. It
never rains but it pours. All
right, Jem, put the whole mix
aside, clean all the containers,
and start over again. We'll test
the batch again tomorrow.” He
nodded up at Edge—and Robi-
son.
The sight of Robison shook
him He showed that, for a
second, then seemed to recover.
Edge said; “Reggie, this is
Mr. Robison, who’s brought
us trouble, too."
“Oh,” Jameson grunted.
“What kind of trouble?”
“Is that 2YC12’” Edge asked,
and picked up a familiar look-
ing box of powder.
“Yes,” grunted Jameson, and
grinned: 'Tve bad one hell of
a day, sorry if 1 show It” He
had a good, quick amile, and
fine teeth.
Edge was breaking the cel-
lophane of the box. He stuck
his forefinger in, and then rub-
bed it on the back of his other
hand. He looked at Jameson,
and the now familiar kind of
scared look appeared in Jame-
son's eyes. Slovly, he stretched
out his hand, an* Edge rubbed
a little of th. powder in.
“Mr. Robison discovered that
there was an irritant tn one of
these boxes.“ Edge add. “A box

The social register of the Bowery always has been an !n®0r-l

year to Boston Eddie, who to now on home relief and has gone
high-hat. Bible Bill has been given the heave-ho for accepting

The News’ price Just has gone up from 15 to 20 cents. Seven
reasons are listed, including "We’re good sports and we like to
buy a round or two for the gang.” This edition also includes
new Panhandlers Union rules, Including “Boston and New York
bums must stop quarreling or else a summit conference will be
necessary to end the cold war among the flophouse fraternity.”
THERE IS A “HORSES TO WATCH” COLUMN, naturally,
and there to a mileage chart that lists the traveling distances
©f well-known Bowery bums. Beefsteak knocked off #27 mil;*
last month, for example, and Hobo Joe 249. There's a photo ef
Jack Dempsey, an honorary member of the bums’ l.atemity,
and an old group photo taken when the late Dorothy Thompson
visited the News offices. The picture I liked best was of a skele-
ton, with the caption, “Drink Sneaky Pete and be strong and
healthy like me.” ...... ...
I find, however, one sinister note. Among the stoi.es m this
edition are several telling of good chophouses at which to eat
and drink—and they are not Bowery bum-type pieces. Nob
Hill, a practically elegant Second Avenue night spot, is recom-
mended, even though beer costs 60 cents a stein and whisky an
average of 85 cents a glass.
