Hamilton Sees Big Trend Back To G. 0. P. John D. M..Hamilton, chairman of the Republican National Com­ mittee, believes tbe election • held recent.v shows a vety decided trend back to 'a Republican victory in HisI statement is as follows;: ‘‘Results in last week's election generally confirm that the trend to ward conservatism and sound /gov. eminent which became apparent ooe year ago still continues to. the mbunt. Elections from the Atlan­ tic-to the Pacific reflect this fact. ‘‘The crushing defeats of the in­ sane Vham and:- eggs'* scheme in California and the. Bigelow Plan in Ohio plainly indicae that people have become claimed over crack­ pot penaceas which have tbeir in sp ratioD in the.-recklesmess of tbe N ew U eal theorists. Californians are to. be congratulated ou having escaped' disastrous consequences *hich might have spread to; the Nation, bad the demagogues in that: State: succeeded in tbis' in­ stance. Ths whole country should b ; rhankfnl for the check given the fantastic pension scheme by Cali­ fornia and Ohio.' Yet, we should not* now disurssas solved the prob­ lem'created t-y aged persons in dir- tress. Their plight merits our care­ ful consideration and demands- that renewed efforts be made for a sane and soqnd OldrOld pension program. • •' With on'y a few exceptions, Republicans maintained or increas­ ed their strength compared with a year iago, uotably in Pennsylvania. NfW Jersey and other Eastern SUtes: SigniFcantly, the failure o f tb?. New D eal' to restore t«ie country to economic recovery , was Ibade/the-' issue in a number of Io- cal conteste where Reoublicans won. Thus, the trend continues to point toward a Republican victory next year and]au end to reckless, w asteful: a n d " crack.pot govern. rpenti’.’ • ' ' Graves Belbyes In Peace :A'fiam believer in peace is form­ er.

He has been a generous patron of aviation, learning to fly a seaplane in his late years, inventing a system by which a plane can pick up fuel in flight, and is now governor and former president of the National Aeronautic association. He has en­ dowed various branches of research, including botanical studies. A native of Boston, he attended M. I. T. two years, was graduated from Harvard in 1882, and laid the basis of his fortune manufacturing lampblack in Worthington, Pa., in 1887, branching out in gases and carbides. ♦----- D o n a ld w illis d o u g las, president of Douglas Aircraft, Inc., of Santa Monica, Calif., says war orders for American planes,_ . • _ and the spurtOar W ar Boom in building, N o Babble, Saysr ' w on’t end D.

B y V irg in ia V a le------ T H E bugaboo that haunts a l l c h i l d a c t o r s h a s s w o o p e d d o w n o n B o b b y - B reen — he h as reached that in-betw een age w hen th,ere’s nothing to do but retire from the screen fqr a few years, until the aw kw ard age is over. Y oung B reen’s voice is chang­ ing, and Sol L esser, w ho h as him under contract, doesn’t want to risk its being injured and-has de­ creed a rest. So “Escape to Paradise,” made for Principal Productions, may be his last picture for a while. He’ll go to military school and study drama until he is ready to face the cam­ eras again. Sometimes the screen’s young people bridge the gap from kid pic­tures to grown-up ones without tak­ ing time off. Deanna Durbin did. “First Love” will show you how charming she is as a young—very D EA N N A D V R B IN young—lady. In private life she’s all set to marry Vaughn Paul as soon as she’s legally of age. And Jane Withers and Edith Fellows kept right on acting, very successfully. For those who don’t do it, the awk­ward age is a tragedy. They have years of drawing down huge sala­ ries, then suddenly the money stops, and all that they can do is to wait— and face the prospect of not being able to score a second success, when they are ready to work again. Edward Small plans to bring to the screen a number of the world’s greatest stories, but so far he seems to have found a gold mine in the works of Alexandre Dumas, and the other great writers will have, to wait until he gets around to them. Small rang the bell with “The Count of Monte Cristo” and “The Man in the Iron Mask,” and now he an­nounces that he’s going to screen “The Corsican Brothers,” the prin­ cipal characters of which are a pair of Siamese twins. It seems safe to predict that even people who haven’t liked Greta Gar­ bo in her other pictures will be de­ lighted with her in. “Ninotchka.” It’s a delightful comedy, perfectly di­rected by Ernst Lubitsch, presenting a Garbo who is an enchanting come­ dienne. Melvyn Douglas and Ina Claire give excellent performances, the rest of the cast is good. It’s g ra n d new s th a t C onnie B os­ w ell is w alking once m o re.

She can walk now—only a few steps, it’s true, but a few steps mean a lot when you haven’t been walking at all. She' can swim, and ride a horse. First thing you know, she’ll be dancing. ' • — * — Arlene Harris, the “Human Chat­terbox” of the air, had a handicap to overcome, too, but she was’ too young at the time to realize it. For the first three years of her life she didn’t talk; when her parents con­ sulted physicians they learned that she was deaf as well.

This recipe, however, re­ mains my favorite. 2 ounces bitter chocolate % cup butter IVz cups sugar 3 eggs 2Vz cups cake flour 3A teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder I cup milk I teaspoon vanilla extract Melt chocolate carefully over warm water. Cream butter thor­ oughly and add sugar slowly. Sep­arate eggs, beat egg yolks, and add to butter and sugar mixture. Add the melted chocolate.

An en­thusiastic reader of Sewing Book No. 3 writes, “I have a bay win­ dow in my dining room that has always been a problem to curtain. Right now 7 I would like to make pinch pleated drapes of figured damask to hang from cranes to SCREW DRAPEkt FIXTURES TO HOOKS OR RINGS the floor. I would also like a valance.” With this letter all the window dimensions were given. The sketch at the lower right reveals the difficulty. The space between the top of the windows and the top of the bay made it impossible to hang the draperies as desired. A I by 2-inch strip of wood nailed next to the ceiling of the bay and extending 6 inches over the walls at the sides as il­lustrated will solve the problem. The cranes for the side drapes may be screwed to this strip, and the rods for the pinch pleated valance fastened to it. The rods for the glass curtains may then be attached in the usual way t* the tops of the window frames.

The Record has maty tried and true friends in Davie county, and throughout the country as well. A number of them have dropped in to see us during the past week or two Some ot them have been taking, reading and paying for The Re cord for forty years. These men are the salt of the earth. They have given us their ■ support throughout the years, and we ap­ preciate it very much Theyareas srlid as the Rock of Gibralter, and we know that when the fall.of the year comes, they will pay us their annual visit, tell ns of their joys and sorrows, their success and fail­ ures. Such men and women as these are the ones that bring joy to the heart of the country editor. Wish we had the space to print all the names of these good men and women who have stood by* The Re­ cord for more than a third of a cen­ tury. We not only appreciate their subscriptions, but their kind words and good wishes are cherished as much as their dollars. There is some­ thing in life besides money—some­ thing that thieves cannot steal and that moth and rust will not cor­ rupt. Without the support and cooperation of these tried and test­ ed friends there wouldn’t he much joy in working and striving to print a country newspaper. Quiet Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving day passed off very quietly in Mocksvillel The town presented a Sunday appearance, with nearly all the business houses, bank, posloffice and county offices all closed.

Cow Climbs Stairway. ~ Dr. Garland Green, of Fork, and Frank Brown, of R. 4 , return­ ed last week from a 12-days deer hunt near Wilmington. The paity, composed of nine men, killed six drer. This is just a part of the story. After Ftsnk Brown got back home, he went into his barn to gather eggs. He went up into the loft, and was amazed to see one of his cows lying down in the loft. He thought he was seeing spooks, and called his wife, who found that it was in fact one of their cows The cow had climbed a 12-foot stairway, and was making herself at home on the second floor cf the barn. Frank summoned several of bis neighbors to assist in getting the cow back on terra-firma, but afte' a rope was put around her horns, she very politely walked down the steps without any , assist­ ance. Dr. Green had nothing to do with this part of the deer hunt Sheffield News. Mr, and Mrs. Grady Smith and children, of Statesville, spent Sun day with his father, R. N. Smith.

What with the mosquitoes and her temper she’ll be cooking up a future unless we go to her rescue.” “Carl, I’m shameless. I really am. I’d forgotten Aunty,” “Did you ever have toothache? One forgets that, too, afterwards.” “But this isn’t afterwards. You don’t know Aunty. Carl, I’ll go to her. You mustn’t come. Please, really, you mustn’t. She will say things that I don’t want you to hear. They’re not true but she’ll say them.” “Are you sure?” “You mean, am I sure they're not true?” “I mean, are you sure she’ll say them?” “Yes. She always does when she’s ■angry.” “Let’s find out.” “Carl, I’m—” “You’re embarrassed. So’m I. It’s good for both of us, so let’s do it together.” They took their time, strolling along shadowy moonlit paths toward the guesthouse, too interested in each other to notice voices until they were quite close up beneath the darkness of the overhanging trees. The trunks no longer stood in a row on the garden path. There was a light in the servants’ pantry at the rear, and a smell of cooking. Light poured through the living- room window. “Hush,” said Norwood. “Listen. Rule number one is don’t talk in the dark. Rule number two is listen and learn, but never tell tales.” The Maharanee’s voice came quite distinctly through the open window: “If I, who am broken-hearted, can | forgive my nephew Rundhia—” 4 An unmistakable voice interrupt­ed: “You’re being silly. Don’t be sentimental. You probably ruined Rundhia by being sentimental. At your age you ought to know better. You should have spanked him when he was young, and kept him short of pocket money when he was old­ er. ■ I neglected to spank Lynn. That’s the trouble and I’m ashamed of myself. Are you sure you know where she is? Are you quite sure? Who told you she is near the lotus pond with Captain Norwood?” “Six servants,” said the Mahara­ nee, “and one gardener. Also the Chief of Police very kindly took the trouble to phone me about it.” “Imagine the impudence of that girl!” “But I haven’t noticed that she is impudent.” “If she was in love with Captain Norwood she should have told me.” “Do you think she knew it?” asked the Maharanee. “I knew it, late this evening. But do you think that Lynn knew it?”Aunty Harding cackled a chair­ woman’s ladylike laugh on two notes, politely derisive: “Knew it? Maharanee, what this younger generation knows is more than you and I ever will know. They’re incorrigible. That girl has more whalebone in her will than there are cents in a dollar. It isn’t brittle. You can’t break it. It’s resilient.”“Yes,” said the Maharanee, “this generation has its own ideas. It goes its own way. Lynn will go far.” Aunty coughed drily!' “Go far? She will go to the devil, 'I don’t doubt. But I have this consolation. If what you say is true, she has dis­ graced herself with the only gen­tleman I have met in India.” The Maharanee protested loyally: “His Highness my husband—” “Oh, kings don’t count,” said Aunty. “They’re middle class now­ adays. I can’t forgive kings for the way they’ve sold out to the politi­cians. I never will forgive them. I’m a Democrat and I’ll die in my boots.” “But you’ll forgive Lynn?” “Getting Dack at me, are you? A little sarcasm, eh? Maharanee, if I can get that minx Lynn to forgive me before she has had time to slan­ der me to Captain Norwood, I’ll think I’m lucky. I’ll be a wizard— or is it a witch?” “Or are you a little wiser than you were?” the Maharanee suggest­ed. Norwood whispered: “How much did you bet? Are you still scared?” Moses Lafayette O’Leary’s whistle piped from the nearby shrubbery a few notes of a private signal: C, D, F,—C, D, F,-C, D, F—C. It star­ tled Lynn. “What was that? It sounded like someone in hiding. Are we being watched?” “Yes, the night has eyes in India. They’ve a saying here that even dia­ monds see in the dark. That’s a very rough diamond informing me that all’s clear and he’s off home. You go in. I’ll follow you presently. I want to speak to him.” Norwood walked alone into the shrubbery. He almost walked into Moses O’Leary. “I warned you,” said O’Leary, “about women. By the hundred they’re all right. One’s a problem. But you wouldn’t listen. I suppose you’ll get yourselt a new man now, to say yes to you and tell you you’re Solomon. But Solomon had him a thousand wives, and concubines on top o’ that. So put that in your ^oipe and smoke it. Am I out of a job?” “Where’s your horse?” “ ’Tain’t a horse. I rode your baby mare. She’s near the gate.” “When you get back to camp see that she’s rubbed down carefully and give her a light blanket. Stand by and see it done. Do you hear me?” “Yes, sir, Captain Norwood.” “Here’s the. key to the whiskey. Help yourself. You’ve leave of absence until noon tomorrow. Turn up sober or I’ll—” “Is the Government broke?” “Here are ten rupees. But that’s not Government money. It’s per­sonal. Don’t get into trouble with it.” “Well, sir, I’ve seen miracles in my day; I’ve seen you pick win­ ners. Maybe she’s as reliable as she is good looking. Here’s hoping. I'll say a prayer for you.” “Don’t keep that mare standing. Good night.”“Good night, sir, and here’* hop­ ing.”Moses Lafayette O’Leary strode away;into the night, until the sound of his footfall ceased on the dusty path and there was nothing more heard of him but the tune that he whistled: Ob. officers* wives get puddings and pie* And soups and roasts and jellies.But poor Tommies’ wives get sweet— [THE END] Veterinary Science Has Eliminated the Hazards of Animal Life and Production Uhe practice of animal breeding Is centuries old. It had its origin in the economic need of ancient man to produce animal life under some form of organized human control. In the oldest laws in the world, known as “The Laws of Hammur­ abi,” it is indicated that some sort of regulatory system over animal breeding existed in Babylonia 2,100 years before the advent of the Christian era. Anyone who regards the chicken industry of today as a modern economic development might peruse the laws of the old Assyrian empire with interest, ac­ cording to Dr. John R. Mohler, chief, bureau of animal industry, in an address before the International Veterinary congress. The numbers of eggs laid by each hen were count­ ed and recorded. In that early and now dim date in man’s history, many of the diseases of animals and poultry were identi­ fiable by names peculiar to the times. The contagious nature of ani­ mal plagues is clearly indicated by Columella who lived at the dawn of the present civilization. That he recognized a relationship between animal breeding and public health is evident from his urgent demand for segregation of the sick as one means of preventing the spread of infection. The Christian era was still very young when Vegetius, aroused by the heavy losses among animals as each successive epizootic broke over the world, utilized his now immortal pen for the salvation of animal life if only on economic grounds, to save the state from loss, through a revival of interest in what then was known as veterinary art. In those days of scientific dark­ ness, animal-disease prevention and control were largely in superstitious practices. But the few intellectual freedmen of the ..age, and those in gathering numbers in each succeed­ing epoch, realized the need of a true veterinary practice and control over animals and animal produc­ tion, as related to public health and public welfare generally. As far back, as B. C. 40, in the time of Tiberius, Celsus foresaw that such methods employed in veterinary clinical work would find a place in the practice - of human medicine which 200 years later Galen em­ phasized. Since then, veterinary science has been marked by discoveries which have had the effect' of greatly re­ ducing the hazards of animal life and production. Diligent scientific workers, the world over, have traced scores of live stock maladies to their source, revealing specific viruses, bacteria, and parasites as the ^causes. Other investigators have cleared up many questions concerning nutritional dis­ turbances, poisoning by plants, breeding troubles, even conditionr resulting from abnormal glands, and disturbances of the nervous sys­ tem.

Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and North Caro­ lina. It is entitled “Income Tax Pro­ cedure—What is the Best Way?” The book is something new in legal circles and is said to have been sug­ gested by the reported influx; into other states of legal talent from Washington as the result of ..the com­ pletion of the decentralization, plans of the Internal Sevenue Bureau!. This plan, begun in 1936, expedites collec­ tion of income taxes by giving gov­ ernment field tax offices'the same full authority and responsibility formerly exercised at headquarters in Wash­ ington. V1 There is no mention in the book of the current reports that lawyers from the nation’s capita], -who have long specialized in income tax. pro­cedure, are opening branch officqp in the major cities and county seats of the country. However, no words are minced as to the necessity of . all in­come taxpayers immediately acquiring the services of attorneys informed in the income tax law. For instance,.two paragraphs read:“As promptly as possible the tax­ payer should retain attorneys inform­ ed on the income tax law. {Th* , in­ come tax law is a law and a com­plicated one. It requires and is en­ titled to as much expert handling sis is any case of comparable importance which comes before a judical or quasi­ judicial body. If the case is a large one the services of accountants are in- dispensible. If the accounting firm is a responsible one and if its entries on the books of the taxpayer conform to good accounting practice, it is almost certain that the matter will be legally correct. “Accountants, however, are not law­ yers and it is not the function of any accountant, accounting firm or other person who may properly render specialized service, to settle, the legal issues involved in any tax matter. It is certain that much expense, much tax, much time and much annoyance could- be saved if the taxpayer will select qualified members of the Bar rather than others who claim tc be in­ come tax experts.” The handbook has been complied by the office of Karl F. Steinmann, in Baltimore. Twelve years’ study and practice in such litigation by Mr. Steinmann, his senior associate, John W. Cable, III, and his other colleagues, qualify them to explain in the hand­ book what they have found and know to be the best procedure in income tax niatters, now that the Bureau of Internal Revenue has completed its decentralization plans. It was con­ ceived by the group of lawyers to be of material aid to other lawyers and it has been presented to the profes­ sion at large . Those lawyers who have read ad­ vance copies of the handbook point to the fact that it speaks with authority on a most important subject to both the legal profession and the laity.

The Greensboro Daily News re­ minds that these pre IegTsIative days are the time when alliances and commitments which figure pro­ minently in later events of the ses­ sion itself are made, and that paper has specifically in mind the -long omitted reapportionmeut of repre­ sentatives as set forth in the con­ stitution and which is accentuated by the immediacy of the national census, following which according to the State Charter, reappointed “shall” be made. The Greensboro paper points out that under the rotation system, both the speaker of the house and the lieutenant governor, who formulate the legislature committees, w i l l come from the west next year— “the self-same west which has been slighted in its representation all these years since the 1930 enumera tion,” Aud there is epprebension lest candidates for these places make the usual “deal” with ; east­ ern politicians, in which eastern support is traded for assurance that members will be named to the com­ mittee or committees handling this important matter, who can’ be managed.” When it comes to political hoss swapping, the eastern have been running rings around the western­ ers in late years. Three years ago a lot was being said on this very subject. There was the threat that unless the east agreed to reappor­ tionment as provided in the consti. tntion, the west which has the votes would throw a monkey wrench in­ to the working agreement which rotates the major offices between the two sections. But the western­ ers failed to step up against the collar. Reason: Political trading made necessary by eastern sbrew- ness. The census result obvioosly will show that the Piedmont and west are entitled to additional represen­ tation under the constitution, and because this adding to also involves subtracting from eastern numerical influence in the legislature, it is only natural that there wilj be op­ position from eastern politicos. But it is so wiit in the State charter, and if again it is successfully iguor ed then haw in heaven’s name, can there be any consistency In holding as sacred what the constitutions says about other things? If western voters really are in- terested in what is actually a con­ stitutional right, now denied to them, they will be asking questions of candidates for these places of strategic values, for they will the more readily get an answer before the election than after, no matter if there .is reluctance to give it.— Statesville Daily. Farm Vote May Tell 1940 Winning Party. Washington — Senator Capper (R ) Kas- predicted tbat the farm vete would determine whether the next president was a Democrat or Republican, The gray; haired senator and farm journal; publisher suggested- this was why Republican party leaders were, devoting so much effort to shaping a party agricultural policy. “I think the northern farm belt will decide the 1940 presidential election',, !and things look m ighty good dor the Republican right uow,” rCapper said in an interview, IR E T O I ^ R E A D IN G ' TM I A K - I N T H I S * N £ W S P A P S R , ! An Important Factor. TaylonvilleTimes. Most of us will be agteeing with JudgeJohnson f. Hayes that next to our .schools and churches the Building and Loan Associations are serving belter than any other agen cy in elevating citizenship and con. Iribnting to the common good of the common people of North Caro lina. In his address at the seventh dis­ trict meeting of the North Carolina Building and Loan League, held at Statesville, lodge Hayes, the prin­ cipal speaker at the dinner meet iog program, deployed the general tendency toward installment pay ing rather than installment saving, describing the former as mortgag­ ing the future to secure immediate luxuries tbat are so. easily transla. ted into personal needs. H e thinks every young person , with any re­ gular income at all should salt some of it away for the rainy day. that is sure to come, that they should be thinking in terms or in s'allment saving and resist to the utmost the urge for installment paying. And borrowing money to build a home obviously may be c’assed as saving, and because the building and loan associations make funds available for this purpose, there aie thousands of homes in North Caro­ lina tbat otherwise would not have been built. And because home- ownership tends to make for a bet­ ter citizenship; these institutions may well be classed next to our' schools and churches. It was pointed out at the States­ ville meeting that the Various B. and L. associations in North Caro lina had financed the- construction or repairs of more than thirteen thousand homes in this , slate dur­ ing 1938. Multiply. That number by the years of service and you g«t comprehensive glimpse of import, ance of these institutions t o . com­ munity and state. It is significant, we think, that at the recent meeting m.ucb thought was given to ' imprdreibent of the already fine service ' these associa­ tions are rendering. Government competition has put these .mutual organizations on their toes and banks, sensing-tbe dependability of installment loans to the man with small.income, are adding to -this competition. T But as Judge Hav.es pointed .out, the building and. loan . associations invariably.are manned, by outstand­ ing citizens of the.' community, without the profit motive, and with a plan that in the long run is ,.more economical than anything, compe­ tition has to offer, they should have the co-operation of The prospective bone buiider. i Casting Shadows.

Decent income is the foundation on which fafm prosperity rests. Every third bushel produced last year represented wheat that nobody wanted to buy. Nothing changes the looks and prolongs the life of farm buildings like a good coat of paint. O neofthe best ways fer dairy men to make a short feed crop go further is' to cull how producing cows The 62 million acre wheat allot­ ment for 1940 is larger than the acreage harvested any year during the World War.

Tbe Cbrislmas shopping season has started. D uringthenext three weeks everybody will be in a ter. rific rush. The; stores will be crowded, the streets will be filled with eager shoppers, ietail business will be booming and there will be intense att'vily throughout ; the length and breadth of the laud. In order to allow more time for Christmas s h o p p in g , President Roosevelt moved up Thanksgiving Day i Week. All of wbsch prompts msny in­ dividuals to say: “ I don’t Iile this Jmsiuess of commercializing Christmas. We're losing the real significance of the dav and are !0 cusipg our en.ire attei.tion upi n material things.” In a way that may be so; bnt there is anotber-side of the pic:ure to be considered. Millions of dollars will be spent during Christmash'olidays. A good­ ly portion of this huge amount will be spent for useless things, but that i f beside the point. Those millions of dollars will provide employnn nt for many thousands of- additional people, in th e ' factories, in the store) and in other places. Were it not for this extra employment, there would be many families un- ableto participate in the joys of Christmas. "Peace 00 earth and good will toward men” is a; splendid slogan for-the holiday season. Bnt you can’t have peace and good will if business suffers and if unemploy, ment increases.. So while it may be true that we are, in a sense; commercing Christ, mas, we should also take into con­ sideration the fact that this very commercialization, a b o u t wbich some people complain so bitterly, is the "means of bringing happiness and jby: to thousands of families Wb.ootfcerwise would be miserable. |S o quit griping, and enter into the spirit of the season —Tbe State.

PARTON N EW YORK--When we went into the World war, Sen. Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa said our crack riflemen would win for us if he were allowed to re­cruit and train them. Ameri­ cans, he said, were born R ifle Virtuoso . M ade Cun Our A rm y Mainstay marksmen, and the rifle would be ■ suited to our native genius. He was soundly patriotic and moving, as he worked in Daniel Boone and individ­ ual initiative, but his plea went un­heeded—in fact, the senator’s sug­ gestion seemed amusing to most commentators. But, at that time, there was a young fellow popping off the con­ veyor belt ducks at Coney is*. land with such accuracy that he - became a virtuoso of rifle fire, and, in between war years, made the rifle the mainstay of our army firing power, just as Senator Brookhart said it ought to he. The Garand self-loading, semi-automatic rifle, tested by National Guardsmen at Camp Smith, Peekskill, has for several years been put down by mili­ tary men as the world’s most sensational achievement in light arms. The army took it over in 1937. It is the creation of John C. Garand, the young toolmaker whose earlier laboratory was a Coney island shooting gallery. It weighs only nine pounds, and fires 60 shots to the minute—one shot with one trigger-pull. Young Garand made several mod­ els; embodying his basic idea, and sent one to the navy department at Washington. They planted him with the bureau of standards to continue his experiments. Later, they sent him to the United States armory at Spring­ field, where in 1933 he brought through the deadliest small weapon ever made. It has been steadily improved since then, and, according to the most au­ thoritative military judgment, has more than trebled our army’s firing power. Automatic in all but the trigger-pull, muz­ zle gas is used to power it. John C. Garand was bom in a Erench-Canadian village, 20 miles from Montreal, and was brought to Putnam, Conn., by his father, when he was seven, after the death of his mother. He was the seventh of 14 children. He was a textile mill ma­ chinist at 18. In 1930, he married a Canadian girl. They have a boy and a girl. He is 52 years old, still a gunsmith at the Springfield ar­mory. •----- HPHERE was once a hillbilly girl who went to a neighbor’s cabin to borrow a hammer.

Within the last few days, plans for the grand remodeling have gone forward, with two sets of blueprints on each side, of the west wall. Franz von Fapen thinks the new commonwealth of Europe will be devised by Ger­ many, while Paul Reynaud, French minister of finance, and his confreres in London, are making, other arrangements. The wide range ef planners swings from intellectuals, such as Julian Huxley, the British scientist, to the man of action, General Wladislas Sikorski, pre­ mier of the Polish government which is just now camping out in France. General Sikorski, the latest ma­ triculate in the peace seminar, vi­ sions a “consolidated Europe,” but one in which a reconstituted Poland will somehow be happily encysted. He is a soldier who became a writing, as well as a fighting man, also, with his gift of ready speech, an orator and politician. He was an effective leader of the war of 1920, when the French general, Maxime Weygand, helped the Poles stop the Bol­ sheviks, and he became premier in 1922 when he was replaced by Marshal PiIsudski as chief-of- . staff. He was forced out in 1923, and in 1924 became minister of war. One of his first official acts was to forbid women workers in the department to wear silk stockings. He decreed dark, high-collared dresses, high shoes and cotton stockings. He is a strict disciplinarian. A handsome and romantic figure of the old feudal Polish aristocracy, he took full account of modern con­ ditions as he tried desperately to tool his country into modern state­ hood. Now, it appears, he would just skip it and take a chance on the world of tomorrow.(Consolidated Feature*—WMU ServlccO They Didn’t Do It This Way Back in ’17 Z t k *% The A. E.

EA G ER A convincing example ofthe fact that more people respond to an appeal to feelings and emotions than are influ­enced by reason and logic is the recent experience of a lock manufacturer in New York. Having spent a lifetime in per­fecting a superior article for protecting householders against intruders and knowing more about mechanics than about the human mind the manufactur­er’s advertisements had for some time merely extolled the lock’s con­struction and workings. Sales were disappoint­ing. Several months ago a tragedy oc­ curred which was front page news for days. A prom­ inent woman was brutally mur­ dered by an in­ truder whose en­trance to her home had been made easy by a cheap, defective lock. An advertising man persuaded the lock manufacturer to address a series of advertisements to husbands who failed to provide adequate protec­tion to wives left alone at home. Very little was said in the adver­ tisements about details of lock con­ struction. . Much was said about wives and children. The emotional appeal swamped the factory with orders. Psychologists explain that in an emotional state of mind one’s de­ sire to act is paramount and that when a product to be sold is made part of an emotional feeling a buy­ er does not see the product as a detached object but as part of his own welfare and acts accordingly.

The enve­lopes merely contained several newspaper clippings about a fa­vorite horse in his racing stable. To the clippings was attached a simple card reading “Compli­ments of Jonesby.” A few weeks later came clippings about a dance given for his debutante daughter, followed, a month or so later by the comments of various financial writ­ ers on the annual report of the com­pany of which he is the president. Each group of clippings was ac­ companied by the mysterious card, “Compliments of Jonesby,” and not another word of comment or explanation. Needless to say the name Jones­ by and the whole affair became a much discussed subject among the business man’s friends and family. There were many guesses and at­ tempted solutions of the mystery. Then one day the whole matter reached a climax at the business man’s office. A man appeared, said he had a matter of intense personal interest to discuss with the presi­dent and handed the reception room girl a card. It merely carried the words, “Compliments of Jonesby.” Jonesby got his interview and he got it immediately. He was an in­ surance man who specialized in sell­ ing big policies to prominent and wealthy people.

VThistle Helps Measure Pressures in Engines How to measure the volume 6f the compression space above the pis­ tons of an internal combustion en­gine, without removing the cylin­ der head has been solved by the in­ vention of a whistling gauge. The rate of vibration of the air inclosed in the cylinder head is compared with that of air inclosed in an ad­ justable and calibrated chamber of known volume by employing two identical whistles, one attached to one sparkplug port of the engine and the other to the adjustable cham­ ber. The whistles are blown by air having a common supply and con­ stant pressure, says Popular Me­ chanics. The pitch of the notes of the whistles on the two chambers depends upon the volume of air con­ tained in them. Thus, when notes of the same pitch are produced, the volumes of the two chambers areeaual. H f HlfiHT C O L D S DUE TO Need More Than 'lSalve" Te Quickly Relieve DISTRESS!

C. r Star Dust ★ Films in the West ★ What to Call It? ★ Watch Turns, Rudy! By Virginia Vale----- T HERE was a time when the urgent invitation ex­tended to the motion picture industry by Mayor La Guardia of New York to move to that city would have produced at least a ripple of interest in Hollywood.' But not now. The motion picture potentates, agree with the mayor when he says that New York’s a city, that it is the center of the theatrical business and so has more actors than any other town—an important fact now­ adays, when so many people are coaxed from the stage to the screen. But none of the mayor’s argu­ ments can offset the fact that the motion picture industry has an in­ vestment of millions of dollars in its Hollywood studios, which couldn’t possibly be moved to New York or any other city. — * — AU previous bets on the best pic­ ture released in 1939 are off since the new Garbo film, “Ninotchka,” (a gay adventure of a Russian So« H o u s e h o ld N e m s tH / B a c m o T ' GRETA GARBO friet girl in Paris), made its ap­ pearance — seems that everybody wants to vote for it. This is Greta Garbo’s first venture into sophisti­ cated romantic comedy. Once again Walter Wanger has changed the title of the picture orig­ inally known as “Send Another Cof­ fin.” After a time, as reported here, it became “City for Sale.” Maybe someone decided that that title wasn’t snappy enough to lure cus­ tomers to the box office in droves, or perhaps there was some other reason for the change—after all, “City for Sale” docs sound the least bit like a real estate ad. Now it’s announced as “Ladies Know Too Much.” Meanwhile Tay Garnett is direct­ ing, and an excellent cast, which includes Pat O’Brien, Edward Ar­ nold, Broderick Crawford, Ruth Ter­ ry, Ernest Truex and Janet Beech­ er, is going right ahead, bent on making a swell picture no matter what it’s eventually called. Rudy Vallee had some difficulty when he made his first appearance as major domo of the Charlie Mc­ Carthy program. When he .had his own program he’d sing a song, then turn around and conduct the orches­ tra. He was just about to do the same thing when he realized that he was a guest, and that the orches­ tra was in the very capable hands of Robert Armbruster. After all, habits formed over a period of 10 years are hard to break. If Rutb Reece, the 10-year-old ra­ dio star, is one of your favorites you’d better make a note of the fact that she will appear in Alonogram’s “The Gentleman From Arizona," along with Uiat old-timer, J. Farrell MacDonald, John King and Ruth Barclay. The picture, a Magnacolor film, is the first picture ever to be made entirely in Arizona, and fea­ tures Rex Jr., the only trained Arabian horse in captivity. “Scattergood Baines,” leading cit­ izen of Cold River, the hero of the popular series of magazine stories by Clarence Budington Kelland, will extend his stay on the Colinnbia net­ work for another year. He and the other residents of Cold River be­ came CBS stars in 1937, appearing in coast to coast dramatizations five days a week, from 5:45 to 6:00 p. tn. eastern standard time. At first the series originated in Hollywood; when it moved to Chicago most of the actors moved with it. It’s just 10 years since “Molly Goldberg” first called “Yoo hoo, Mrs. Bloom” to her neighbor, in the very successful serial, “The Gold­ bergs.” Mrs. Gertrude Berg,'its au­ thor, had written trunks full of sto­ ries but never sold a line. Finally she got a radio station to air her serial.

Mak-I ing cakes that are crammed with] fruit and nuts, baking an endless' variety of cookies to be frosted and) “trimmed” in true holiday fashion, 1 and packing gift boxes of Christmasl confections, is as much fun as the great day itself! Fruit cakes are a Christmas holi-' day "tradition. The dark cakes do< improve with age and should be made as early as possible. They won’t mold or dry o u t if t h e y ’re properly stored. Wrap the cooled cakes well in wax paper, then store in tightly covered cans. If you like, brandy or wine may be spooned over the cakes at two-week intervals during storage. White fruit cakes make a pretty con­ trast with the dark, but they dry out rather soon and should be eaten within a few weeks after baking. Don’t forget that fruit cakes, cook­ ies, and small plum puddings make charming Christmas gifts, especial­ ly for the friends and relatives who’ll be away from home on the holiday.

' Cheerful Nursery Cheerful as sunshine is the at 'mosphere of a nursery,with wall: and woodwork painted a warn cream color and the floor azure blue their hearts and minds have so Ioni been the common road over which] every worldly influence has passed,) that it has become so hard the Word of God finds no lodgment, but is quickly carried away by the birds, which are the “vultures of worldli­ ness” and wickedness (see v. 19). Reader, if your heart is like that, ask God to break it up. Let us all shun those hardening influences which destroy our susceptibility to God’s Word. Others there are who hear and the seed takes root, but the soil is so shallow that it has only a quick growth which soon withers. These are those whose life is largely emo­ tional, thrilling to a new experi­ ence, but not ready to face trials and the responsibilities of life (v. 21). As long as the Christian life looks attractive such shallow, folk want to be counted in, but when they learn that it involves sacri­ fice, they are gone. Shallow souls, pray God to give your life depth and real meaning and worth. Others hear and receive the truth, but soon permit the cares of life to choke and destroy it (see v. 22). Tliis pictures modern life so aptly that one could dwell with profit on the vital lessons here taught. Thank God, some of the seed brings forth a rich harvest! There is encouragement for every teacher and preacher of the' Word of God. Notice (w . 8 , 23) that if we sbould bring forth a hundred-fold it would be tragic to bear only thirty or sixty. II. Beware of the Power of Evil (w . 31-33). Just as the mustard plant was never intended to grow into a tree in which the birds would dwell, so Christianity was never intended to be a nominally Christianized world empire in which ungodly men, the dark birds of the evil one (v. 19), should find comfortable lodgment. Unfortunately, that is what much of professing Christianity has be­ come. Let those of us who love the Lord be’ware that we are not mis­ led by it The parable of the leaven teaches the same lesson. Always in the New Testament leaven stands for evil (see such passages as Matt. 22:16-21, 23, 29 ; 23:14, 16; I Cor. 5:6-8; Gal. 5:9).; It is any influ­ ence that weakens testimony, en­ courages hypocrisy, formalism or worldliness: Who can deny that this leaven has spread throughout the Church? The Evil One is pow­ erful. Let us beware of his power and of his leaven. , In. Value Bedemption ArigU (w . 44-46). In interpreting this parable we ob­ serve that obviously ihe sinner had nothing to sell with which to buy salvation, even if it were to be bought, which ws know it is not (Eph. 2:8). We do give up some things to follow Christ, but are they not the worthless and degrading things? Qnv the other hand, He gave us His all, even to the shame­ ful death of the cross. This He did for His own people, Israel, and what we are even more interested in, for the* Church. Let us value our redemption highly. We have been purchased with the unspeakable price, the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us then heed the admonition of the apostle Paul, “Ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (I Cor. 6:20). TODAY'S able, a method Dr. Barton Cod-Liver Oil Valuable for Vitamins A, D By DR. JAMES W. BARTON I HAVE spoken before of a boys’ preparatory school where perhaps 10 of every 100 Boys took cod-liver oil after each meal. The c o d-1 i v e r oil seemed to give strength to ward oS colds of nose, throat and chest.These boys stated that they had been taking cod-liver oil during the cold months as long as they •could remember. Their moth­ers told them that if they took, cod-liver oil they would “grow! big and strong.” This was be-j fore the discovery of vitamins) and that cod-liver oil strength-! ened the body and warded ofij ailments because of the vita-! mins A and D which it contains. I Experiments on rats showed] that if placed on a good orj complete diet except that the; diet did not contain vitamin A,| growth stopped, weight was lost and! eye disease devel-j oped. By adding vi­ tamin A to the diet,' there was an in­ crease of growth and! the eye disease dis­ appeared. Fortunately vita­ min A is found ini other substances, than cod-liver oil— vegetable oils, root and green vegeta-j bles, and in husks of c o r n a n d grain ,: milk, eggs and butter. What about vitamin D, the other vitamin in cod-liver oil? It is this vitamin that is so nec­ essary to the growth of bone. When: I graduated in medicine, rickets (bent bones) due to lack of lime, was a common sight on the street and in outdoor dispensaries. Today rickets is rare, due to the knowledge that vitamin D builds bone. Cod-Liver Oil Main Source. While certain plants can be put under sun lamps and give more vita­ min D and likewise cows give more vitamin D by use of sun lamps, the main source is still dod-liver oil. There are, of course, various food­ stuffs—bread, milk and others—con­ taining vitamin D. Also vitamin D tablets can be obtained at the drug­ stores. There is thus no reason why vitamin D cannot be obtained when necessary. It is unfortunate that vitamin D is not found in sufficient quantities in the everyday foods, most of which contain the other vita­ mins—A, B, C, E and others. While adults do not need cod-liver oil to the same extent as children, it is a valuable help in ailments which cause loss of weight because it has so much food or fuel value. A tablespoonful of cod-liver oil con­ tains 360 calories, which is about one-quarter of the daily calories nec­ essary for a woman and one-fifib for a man doing light work.» • * Correct Diet W ill Help Anemia XT OW that liver and liver extract are being used so much in ane­ mia you are not hearing or reading so much about remedies to enrich the blood. Unfortunately also you do not hear or read so much about blood-making foods as formerly, yet the right kinds of food may be all that is necessary to bring the blood up to normal strength. In former days, the strength of the blood was estimated by the amount of iron contained in the red corpuscles and this is still very im­ portant, but in many cases of ane­ mia the great need is the substance which matures or develops the red corpuscles themselves. It is this substance—found in liver—which in­ creases the number and completes the development of the red corpus­ cles. As long as liver or liver ex­ tract is taken, the strength of the blood is maintained. I It is these two substances—iron and the substance found in liver— that are in general use in anemia. Anemia Treatment Outlined. I Dr. M. M. Wintrobe, Baltimore, jin New International Clinics, after !outlining the various types, causes :and methods of treatment of ane- im ia,says: ; “A good diet is a very necessary ’help in anemia. Proteins—meat, feggs, fish, cereals—and iron are /needed for the formation of haemo- I globin and also certain vitamins. AU these substances can be given in the '.form of natural foods to which is added, in some cases, brewer’s ; yeast. The diet should include whole liver, kidney and red.meats, eggs, fruits such as apricots, peaches, !prunes, apples, grapes and raisins; vegetables such as beat greens, spin­ ach, cabbage, asparagus and let­ tuce; and whole grain cereals.” The thought then in the preven­ tion or correction of anemia is to !undergo examination by your physi­ cian and dentist, so that no infection is allowed to reduce the strength of the blood, and to eat the foods mentioned above as they are rich in iron, minerals, and vitamins.

HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Sandwich Filler Peanut butter mixed with a little creaih is a good filling for white or graham cracker sandwiches for children. • * * White Silks.—To keep white silk stockings, blouses, etc., from turn­ ing yellow in laundering, use a little alcohol in the rinse water. « * * White, Tender Chicken Meat.— If a chicken is well rubbed inside and out with a cut lemon before being cooked it will make the meat white, juicy and tender. • * * ■ Slow Dp Baking.—If the oven is very hot put a piece of waxed paper under the casserole cover. This will prevent the contents of the casserole baking too quickly. * * * To Hasten Cooking1-W hen us­ ing a double boiler the food will cook more quickly if the water in the outer vessel is salted in the proportion of a fourth of a cup of salt to one quart of water. * • • Mbdng Flour and Lard.—Don’t rub lard into flour with your hands when making pastry. Use a silver fork, which divides and mixes very quickly. This is easier than chop­ ping lard in and saves using a chopping tray.* . » Hanging Window Curtains.— When hanging short window cur­ tains it will be found an excellent plan to invest in small staples.- These driven into woodwork on wall, hold rods firmly in place. If tapes are used, they may be, drawn through the staples and’ fixed so firmly that there is no' chance of the “droop” which so often spoils the effect of other­ wise attractive curtains.

Even in their sorrow, the three girls tragically orphaned in the double bereavement took plain­ tive pleasure in that. It was no more than she should have done, be­ ing their mother's own and only sis­ ter. Still,- she was a senator’s wife, and young as they were and little as they had seen of her, the girls had learned that senators’ wives, even more than officeholders them­ selves, make unlimited use of the safe alibi of “bills pending.” Thiis was an important session, too, it be­ ing {election year. Aunt Olympia Sew out from Wash­ ington. This added definite impor­ tance to her coming. Although Aunt Olympia was a senator’s wife, not by any imaginative flight could po­ litical significance be attached to her attendance at the funeral. The Senator had no constituents to be placated there. Iowa was not his state. Brother Rasmusson, a deacon in the church that had been their fa­ ther’s, drove over to meet her at the airport in Iowa City. Their own car would never run again. It lay in the garage of Bill Blakely—one of their members—a twisted and charred mass of metal from the col­ lision with a drunken driver at the corner of North Square and Main. On prayer meeting night it had happened. The three girls, Helen, twenty-one, Adele, nineteen, and Limpy—named for Aunt Olym pia- three years younger, felt tearful sor­ row, even shame, that they had not gone to prayer meeting with their parents on that fateful night. When they went to prayer meeting—if even one of them went—their father always stopped at Karl’s Kandy Kitchen for an ice cream sundae on the way home. “Reward of merit,” he called it. “Baksheesh” the girls said it was, having gleefully adopted the word from the lecture of a re­ turned missionary trying to raise funds for the further evangelization of heathen Near Easterners. On that terrible Wednesday night, if even one of them had gone, the half-hour spent over the sundaes at the Kandy Kitchen would have de­ layed their parents’ arrival at the corner of North Square and Main and there would have been no col­ lision with' the big car careening madly along the icy streets, with "poor Bob” Saunders drunk at the wheel. But that night only their father and mother had gone and now they lay together in a double casket in the Allan Funeral Parlor, await­ ing burial on the morrow. Both had been instantly killed in the crash. “Poor Bob” had been tossed through the door and flung across thirty feet of ice and snow, and had incurred only a broken wrist and a bruised brow. The girls, watching from the win­ dow of the parsonage, saw Deacon Rasmusson drive carefully up to their curb, bringing Aunt Olympia from the airport. They did not, as in normal times, run happily down the steps to greet her but waited decorously inside the door while the Deacon assisted her up the icy, ash- strewn steps. Aunt Olympia, who had turned violently red and snifiy at the sight of the sheaf of wheat and frozen lilies on the front door, broke into open sobs 'in the presence of the three girls. They looked pale and young and frightened in their slim black gowns. Adele, both in mourn­ ing and out, was the beauty of the family, but Helen’s quiet dignity and maternal gentleness were appeal­ ing and the quivering eagerness of Limpy’s youth, half brave, half ter­ rified, carried her straight to Aunt Olympia’s heaving bosom. Aunt Olympia had a series of emo­ tional expressions, with which the girls later became amusedly famil­ iar and to which'In time- thejr-ac­ corded the dignity of statistical numbers. The first of these—the one that swept over her at sight of the wheat and lilies on the parson­ age door—manifested itself in a sud­ den quiver of what would have begn a double chin had it not been for the vigorous hundred strokes waged upon it three times a day by. the in­ defatigable Olympia. This trembling of the underchin was followed by la deep flush that descended swiftly from the roots of her hair out of sight below the neckline of her ess, accompanied by a hissing suction of the lips, which she finally brought under control by catching the left corner of her mouth be­ tween very strong white teeth. Cta rare occasions of absolutely uncon­ trollable emotion,.' as now, this ex­ pression spent itself in explosive sobs. Aunt Olympia never .surrendered long to emotion. One after another she drew the girls to her in a pas­ sionate embrace and began divest­ ing herself of her furs with a bus­ tling show of energy. I Aunt Olympia couldn't take her eyes oft Limpy. Limpy had fairly taken her breath away. Aunt OlymV pia hadn’t a very clear idea of what she had expected Limpy to bet sometimes she had thought of her as the child being spanked for hep mischief; and then, remembering the years, had reminded herself that Limpy was a young lady—about like Helen, perhaps. And here she found that Limpy was neither the one nor the other, but poised expectantly be­ tween the two, with eyes turned al­ ternately one way and the other. “How old are you, Limpy t ” she demanded suddenly. “Oh — about seventeen,1” said Limpy. “Sixteen, by the family Bible,” corrected Adele. r “Seventeen, minus a small frac­ tion,” insisted Limpy. “Sixteen plus, and not a very big plus either,” argued Adele. “Oh, well, sixteen plus is 17 mi­ nus, according to the mathematics I flunked last year. I prefer mi­ nuses.” Callers came to the door almost constantly. The women kissed the girls all round. One raised tenta­ tive lips to Aunt Olympia but was deterred by a sudden tightening of the full, flushed face. “Funny thing,” she remarked later in her resounding whisper, “how kissing seems to go neck and neck with bereavements. In my opinion, a kiss is not a bit more sympathetic than a hearty hand­ shake and not half as hygienic.” Dr. Ainslie, “Brother Ainslie,” the girls called him, the district super­ intendent of their Conference, came, too. And as if by prearranged agreement, the neighbors trooped in from all over the house, from kitch­ en and dining room and from up- “How about the future?” stairs where they wre interestedly unpacking Aunt Olympia’s bag and tidying up drawers and closets with that fond license bereavement so blessedly accords. Dr. Ainslie shook hands with ev­ eryone, murmuring words of sym­ pathy couched in Biblical phraseol­ ogy as far as possible, and then said, “Shall we pray?” AU dropped to their knees beside their chairs. They had gone through many bereavements and knew what was expected of them. Helen glanced rather uneasily toward Aunt Olympia and was relieved to see her kneeling with the rest, though not without some trouble in her smart gray skirt which had not been fitted for prayer. Dr. Ainslie went into a detailed exposition of the tragic event'and dwelt at ardent length on the rare virtues of the deceased parents and the pathetic estate of the three sweet girls until he had them all in tears. Aunt Olympia cried, too; she couldn’t help it. But when be reached the final and prolonged amen, she rose as hastily as she could in her tight skirt and left the room without a word. “Please excuse me—I’U go with Auntie,” said Helen, wiping her eyes. She followed Aunt Olympia silent­ ly up the stairs. The upper hallway, wide and old-fashioned, spotlessly clean—kindly neighbors had even freshly latmdered the hall curtains— showed four doors, three standing invitingly open, one closed. Aunt Olympia took one look at the closed door and turned quickly away, dab­ bing furiously at her eyes. “You are to have my room, Aunt Olympia, at the end of the hall,” Helen said gently. “I moved in here with Adele . . . That’s Limpy’s room; it’s so tiny there’s hardly room even for one.” There was no need for her to say they could not—not yet—bear to put anybody, not even Aunt Olympia, in that room behind the closed door. “Their room,” it had been, their father’s and mother’s.- “Mother’s room,” they had always called it, though !shared by both. CKi the day of the funeral Aunt Olympia was strangely quiet. Her voice, when she did speak, was soft, almost tremulous. Her oddly keen, pale blue eyes were gentle. Though she watched everything that went on about her, she made no com­ ment. She objected to nothing. She broadcast no scathing whispers. For the most part, she watched the girls, all of them together and each of them separately, Limpy in particu­ lar. She noticed their mannerisms, their movements; not even the in­ tonation of their voices escaped her. She scrutinized their clothes .and the cordial and sisterly understanding between them and did not overlook the very apparent affection shown them by everyone who came to their door, whether' on errand of business or sympathy. The church was packed for the funeral. It was their father’s own church, the biggest church’in town, and both the minister and his wife had been warmly loved. The sud­ denness, the tragic shockingness of the manner of their passing, the double bereavement, even the dou­ ble casket and the double interment —first in the history of the town— attracted the morbid interest even of strangers. The district superin­ tendent conducted the service. They would have had the Bishop, but he was away with his secretary, mak­ ing a tour of the Holy Land, gath­ ering material for a report on the state of the Armenians. Their own church choir sang. Even in their sadness, the girls, in somber black, felt satisfaction that Aunt Olympia, the Senator’s wife, was with them, she also in respectable but more expensive black. As they passed down the aisle they could hear among the stifled sobs of their friends, among the tender murmurs, “those poor dear children” . . . “sweet girls” . . . “the darlings,” other words that gave them a sad pleasure: “the Senator’s wife” . . . “their aunt” . . . “flew out from Wash­ ington.” Aunt Olympia displayed a proper, customary sorrow during the serv­ ices, frequently patting her eyes un­ der her veil with a very fine, per­ fumed handkerchief. Wien Limpy shivered suddenly and was seized with a spasm of nervous trembling, Aunt Olympia put her arm around her and stroked the slim, black-clad knee with tender sympathy until the tremor had passed. The parsonage was in quiet readi­ ness for their sad return. Sister Alhard and Mrs. Cox, family friends, had remained away from the funeral in order to attend to those final domestic rites. The ex­ tra chairs, borrowed from neighbor­ ing houses for the influx of visitors, had been returned to their owners. Pieces of furniture had been re­ stored to their original position in the room. A cheerful fire had been set blazing in the grate and a bowl of roses brightened the low table in the living room. Food had been pre­ pared, and the table laid for their evening meal. When they had finished their ^din­ ner and sat, .distraught and iU at ease, the four of them, before the fire Helen had freshly stirred to life, Aunt Olympia said with some abruptness: “How about the future? Have you got any ideas—made any plans— worked anything out in your minds about what , you want to do^-from this on?” Only a slight quiver of the curving under-chin betrayed her passionate interest in their answer. “There’s only one thing we can do,” said Helen bravely. “The in­ surance will carry us nicely until the girls have finished school. Fa­ ther wouldn’t let me teach this year, though I finished college last year and have my state license, because he thought I should get a good rest after my operation for appendici­ tis. But I get a good deal of sub­ stitute work here in town and next year I’ll take a school of my own and settle down to business. Adele will finish college, of course, Limpy will finish high school next month—” “Whoever heard of finishing school in the middle of the winter?” said Aunt Olympia. “A poor way to run a school, in my opinion.” “Don’t blame the school,” said Adele, smiling. “Rather blame young seventeen-year-old minuses, who simply will not study math and flunk it consistently, year after year.” “Don’t you think it is very incon­ gruous, Auntie,” said Limpy, in her own defense, “that the highest in I. Q.’s should be the lowest in geom­ etry and algebra? You can’t help thinking there’s something wrong ei­ ther with the school or the teacher.” “There just cculdn’t be anything wrong with the pupil,” said Adele. “Well, naturally not! Look at my I. Q.!" "Anyhow, Limpy finishes high school next month,” said Helen. “Then, college. That was the way we had planned, and we’ll ju»t car­ ry on. Maybe we can get a small house somewhere or a floor of housekeeping rooms and use our own furniture. Even if I take a school away from here next year, Adele and Limpy can go right ahead and I will come home week ends . . . We’ll have to give up the par­ sonage right away, of course.” Aunt Olympia drew a full breath and opened her lips. But for once in her life, someone spoke ahead of her. It was Adele. “Helen,” she said, “I don’t want to go on through college. I don’t want to teach school. And we ought not to use up that insurance money as we go along. We ought to keep it for—for emergencies. Last week, it never occurred to any of us that —sudden—and terrible things could happen to us, upset our plans. Now, we know they dan happen. We must save as much of that money as we can for—just such unexpected cri­ ses. I want to take a business course, Helen. I always did want to. It won’t cost much either, and won’t take long. I’d so much rather go into business than teach school.” Aunt Olympia started to speak and then, wisely, thought better of it. This was the girls’ business, not hers. She closed her lips so tightly that only a pale blue line remained of their fullness. “I don’t want to go to college, either,” said Limpy suddenly. “You know Father always admitted he was going to have trouble with me. You can see I couldn’t very well teach school when I can’t even grad­ uate on time. I want to take my share of the insurance money and go to a big city and take some kind of an exciting course in something and—” “What kind of an exciting course?” asked Aunt Olympia, who had hung on Limpy’s every word. “I don’t know exactly,” admitted J Limpy. “But the more exciting the | better. Stage setting, or dress d e-' signing, or acting, or play writ­ ing—” ‘‘Have you any talent for any of those things?” demanded Atmt Olympia. “I don’t think so,” said Limpy honestly. “But everyone says they are very exciting and I may dis­ cover some latent talent not yet suspected, even by me. Anyhow, I won’t go to college and I won’t teach school and—” “You won’t get a share of the in­ surance till you’re eighteen, Lim­ py,” Helen said uneasily. “Brother Wilton will have charge of that, you know.” “Well, if he won’t give me the money for an exciting course in something, I’U take a business course,” persisted Limpy.” “You must go to college, Limpy,” said Helen. “And Adele must finish and then decide what she wants. She will be older then and will know better what she reaUy wants.” (TO BE CONTINUED) CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BABY CHICKS BABV O licia (Mix«d N«mlM) NoCripples! No Colls!

Senator Slopshire is running for re-election against Governor Wilke, a snake-in-the- grass if there ever was one. The Governor has seven of the most unspeakable Rttle brat* that ever lived. He takes the whole kit and boodle of them along with him and has them sit on the rostrum with him, waving Iollypops and shouting, "Vote for Papa." It is up to Aunt Olympia to lick the brats and the Governor. The three nieces from Iowa are the heaven-sent instruments to elect their "Unde Lancy."

WHO’S NEWS THIS By LEMUEL F. PARTON EW YORK.—In the light of con- ” tinuing difficulties in establish­ ing a safe and comfortable world order, it is interesting to recall »._• , v- . that RousseauU m o n o f Europe, ..coppered the T hen of W orld, bet” after he F o rc e B e h in d U “ upco^ tract” and his nicely behaved “nat­ ural man.” When he considered his paragon in the light of international gelations, he counseled for the world "a general league, fully armed,” the last two significant words imply­ ing quite a considerable qualification of all he had written before. Lord David Davies, president of the University of Wales, out for a federated Europe, makes a similar concession to eternal cussedness, having first given his heart to the hawks In his advocacy of a league of nations staked mainly on human broth­ erhood. Now he calls for the police. His views are relayed to this country in a letter to Rep. Harold Hnutson of Minne­ sota. They are new only in that he is now narrowing them to a European federation rather than a world state. Now, as for several years past, he insists that the most urgently need­ ed arrangement is for a world po­ lice force, in the form of an inter­national navy, and land forces if necessary. The lack of power to enforce decrees is what he thinks killed the league. Last year, he formed the new commonwealth so­ ciety, with Winston Churchill head­ ing it in England. He says it is established and progressing in 14 countries. A federated Europe would be the first step toward a federated world. Lord Davies is not only a Uni­ versity president, but an indus­ trialist, a director of the Great Western railway and the Mid­ land bank and chairman of most of the great colliery enterprises of Great Britain. He was in parliament for more than 20 years. He was a leader in the early campaign for a league of nations union and is now a trustee. 4 His proposal, like the several oth­ er plans for continental unity, is sharply at variance with Clarence Streit’s “Union now.” In Lord Da­ vies’ plan, the state, backed by force, would be the unit in the co­ operative endeavor; in Mr. Streit’s plan, the individual is the unit and force is repudiated. •----- A NOTHER possible defection from the prevailing European power complex appears in the ap­ parent political drift of handsome _ . ,, , . young CrownPrm ce H um bert Prince Hum. N ucleus of N ew bert of Italy. n . He has heldPower m Italy sharply aloof from the Fascist political regime, and there are persistent reports from many observers, journalistic and others, that he and the king are taking .the play away from Mus­ solini. With the powerful Marshal Badoglio, also a hold-out against the Fascists, he has been some­ what less than lukewarm about the axis and overtly opposed to 1 joining Germany in the war. He is 35 years old, personable and popular, the master of five lan­ guages, trained in the army since he was nine years old, with a strong army following behind him. His wife was Prin­ cess Marie Jose of Belgium. They have a small son and daughter. — ♦ — T HE important assignment of de­ livering arms shipments from this country to Europe is handed to a man who is somewhat of a spe- — ... j cialist in thatG et W ar Goods line He is sir Across the Sea, Ashley Sparks Is Sparks' Task « of the British ministry of shipping in the World war. Then as now, he was resident director of the Cun- ard line for the United States, hav­ ing taken this post in 1916, after 19 years’ previous residence here. His new responsibility, as head of the United States branch of the British ministry of ship- ' ping, will be to get the war ma­ terials across, in co-operation with Arthur B. Purvis, head of the British purchasing commis­ sion in this country. Sir Ashley was first here in 1897 in an office job with the shipping firm of Shewan, Tomes & Co., of Hongkong. An outpost of empire, ready when needed, he is in all else a New Yorker, entertaining lavishly at his beautiful estate near Syosset, Long Island.(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)

It was recalled that simi­ lar allegations were made about the Dutch communist, Marius van der Luebbe, right, whose' arrest in 1933 for starting the Reichstag fire was a prelude to suspension of German civil liberties.

Star D nst ★ Astonishing Youth ★ Well Done, Jane Bryan! ★ Well, the Queen Did It — B y V i r g i n i a V a le — H OLLYWOOD casting direc­ tors are usually pretty hard-boiled; practically nothing surprises them. But Victor Sut- ner, casting director for Edward Small Productions, Inc., now filming “My Son, My Son!” for United Artists, was consider­ ably startled when he got the an­ swers to questions asked Schuyler Standish, who reported to be tested for the part of a young boy. “How old are you?” asked Sutner. “Twelve.” i“And in what grade are you at school?” “The senior year at high school.” Sutner thought the lad was pull­ ing a fast one. But he discovered that he had a prodigy on his hands. Young Standish is successful as an actor, both on the screen and radio, has won a scholarship as a violinist, writes plays and stages them for in­ mates of the Veterans’ hospital at Sawtelle, Calif., and draws and paints and builds models. “We Are Not Alone” is a picture you should be sure to see; the chances are that you’ll remember it, not just because of Paul Muni’s ex­ cellent performance, but because of Jane Bryan’s appearance in the cast. For Jane Bryan is being hailed as the new sensation of the motion picture world. Her last name is really O’Brien, and she’s an Ameri­ can. VMien she was a member of JANE BRYAN Jean Muir’s Theater Workshop, in Los Angeles, about four years ago, Warner Brothers discovered her. Bette Davis discovered her too, and has done everything she could to help her along in 'her career. Per­ haps you’ll remember her from “The Old Maid.” Certainly you’re going to do it because of her work in “We Are Not Alone.” One hears that Norma Shearer made a short for the Red Cross, didn’t like the results, and asked that it be abandoned, and that the picture had to be re-made, with Ann Sheridan in the leading role. If so, Miss Shearer is in good company. For it is also reported that Queen Elizabeth of England was filmed while making' an Armi­ stice day broadcast, and that the film has been called in and will be made over again, with better make-up and lighting for the royal star. — * — “Flesh and the Devil,” which in­ troduced Greta Garbo to a great many Americans, is to be re­ made. It seems fairly certain that she will appear in it again, with a new script, (the first version was a silent one,) and a new leading man —Melvyn Douglas. Al Pearce claims that he got his “I hope, I hope, I hope,” straight from life—his own life. While still in his ’teens he sold insurance, or tried to; it was the kind that calls for small weekly payments. Al was as timid as the salesman he por­ trays on the air, and when he’d ring door bells he often muttered to himself “I hope there’s nobody home, I hope, I hope, I hope.” When he was working on the char­ acter of “Elmer” for his radio pro­ gram the line came back to him. Highlights of the year 1939 and how they will vitally affect world civilization during the next 12 months are shown in the latest March of Time film, “Newsfronts of War—1939.” It begins with a brief examination of the year’s most im­ portant events, and shows how they were covered by the big press associations. It is a film record of history in the mating.

TODAY'S Dr. Barton N o s e S o lu tio n s C u rb N u m b e r O f O p e ra tio n s By DB. JAMES W. BARTON I T IS very gratifying to note the number of operations in the nose and its adjoining sinuses is becoming fewer every year. In former days'any little blockage of the nose by a bent septum (partition between nostrils) or by an enlarged turbinate bone was “corrected” by opera­ tion. Operations often m eant loss of the lining mem brane of the nose with total or partial loss of smell and the loss of the resisting power of the nose in warding off infections also. Today, the use of' salt and w ater or epinephrine or ephe- drine solutions, by shrinking the lining m em brane of the nose, give the necessary re­ lief in a great many cases. This shrinking of the lining or ' mucous m em brane also helps the mucous in the sinuses to drain: out properly. Nose, and throat specialists state that if the air can get into the sinuses, thus “ventilating” them, there would be no accumulation of mu­ cous or pus in the sinuses and thereby many cases of ca­ tarrh and deafness would be prevented. The drugs generally used to shrink the mucous membrane are epinephrine (adrenalin) and ephedrine, the Chinese drug. In order to get the shrinking so­ lution iinto the upper and lower halves,of the sinuses, the method now coming into general use is to “lower” the head either well for­ ward or to either side. Dr. Sidney N. Parkinson, Oakland, Calif., in the Journal of the American Medi­ cal Association recommends that the patient lie on his side with the head bent downward exactly side- wise, weight being on shoulder. Shrinkage Methods. Some shrinkage is first obtained by the; use of ephedrine solution in an atomizer. This may require five to ten minutes. The patient is then placed in the sidewise, head-low po­ sition and solution of ephedrine is placed in both nostrils. After three to five minutes the head is turned face downward to permit the solu­ tion and any mucous to come away from the nostrils. Even when used at home, salt, epinephrine or ephedrine solutions -ay this, simple method enable all the lining membranes to be reached and should give excellent results. The spraying or placing of “drops” , up the nose fails to reach much of this lining membrane. Posture and Abdominal Muscles F O R a number of years I lectoed " to high school teachers (all uni­ versity graduates) on health and fit­ ness, which information was handed on to the students whom they would teach. • I tried to point out t o t if a boy and girl were taught to sit and stand correctly—attain proper pos­ ture—they would likely keep this in mind for themselves throughout life and would likely watch the posture of their children. An upright car­ riage means more room for heart, lungs, stomach and intestine, thus providing for thos'e vital needs of the body—a strong heart and lungs, good mixing and absorption of food, and the prevention of constipation. It is interesting therefore to read in Hygeia, the health-.magazine, of the training of the West Point ca­ dets, as recorded by William J. Bau- mer Jr. Urge for Lifetime Fitness. “The purpose of the academy’s athletic life is three-fold. Besides developing the cadet .physically, it must implant within him the urge for lifetime fitness and it must teach him through instruction and prac­ tice how to teach others to take care of themselves physically and hygienically. Through all his activi­ ties he is being constantly reminded by his superiors, t o upper class­ men, to double time (very rapid marching, twice as fast as the ordi­ nary ‘quick’ march), or trot every­ where, sit up straight in the mess hall,-,eat slowly, pull in his chin, raise his chest, and ‘drag in’ his stomach.” It is'this “holding” in or "drag­ ging” in of t o stomach that most physical directors. emphasize in teaching correct posture. The cadet learns this his first day and never forgets it during his lifetime. It woidd be worth while for ad of us to stand sideways to a mirror in our “natural” manner. Then do just one thing.- draw in the stomach and abdomen. This one simple act— drawing in the stomach or standing “tad”—wid give us the correct pos­ ture..{Released by Western Newspaper Union.) -DOLLAR MAKERS-------- M a n u fa c tu re r G a n S e ll f o r H is C u s to m e r By GEORGE T. EAGER T HERE is a type of adver­ tising used in business to­ day which is known as “talking to the public over the shoulders of your customers.” . For in­ stance, a m anufacturer of tin cans does not sell to the gen­ eral public. But he does sell to the packers of food products. So his advertisements tell the buy­ ing public about the advantage of canned food products and the can manufacturer thus secures the good wid of every food packer. His advertising talks to the pubdc over the shoulders of the packers who are his customers. It is not ethical for dentists to ad­ vertise but a manufacturer of a product sold to dentists published newspaper adver­ tisements headed, “Who Stole This Dentist’s Hour?” and pleaded with readers to keep dentist’s appoint­ ments. He earned the undying grat­ itude of all den­ tists. Since the house­ wife gave up bak­ ing'bread at home the market for yeast has been among commer­ cial bakers. But consumption of wheat , flour was 21 per cent less from 1920 to 1930 than it was from 1890 to 1900. So a large yeast com­ pany advertises the health benefits of eating more bread and creates good wid among its customers, the commercial bakers. A manufacturer of laundry ma­ chinery tells the pubdc about the benefits of patronizing laundries, a leading bank advertises its home city, a railroad advertises the sec­ tion of the coimtry it serves, a '-iso- line company urges summer tourists to spend their vacations in the states in which it does business. Many businesses that do not sed the general public can advertise for the benefit of their important custom­ ers and thus benefit themselves.

The result is not only a sur­ prise to Europeans who visit us but to m any residents of ou r o ld e r c it ie s w h o k n ow dttle about their native land. A New York woman recently left New York for a visit to relatives in the West. Beforeleav- in g s h e h ad bought a pair of very stydsh ga­ loshes in an ex­ clusive Fifth ave­ nue store. She knew .they were in the New York manner and in her imagina­ tion she pictured the . admiration they would elicit from her less for­ tunate relatives. She was fully pre­ pared to say time and again, “Yes,, they are something new. I’ll be glad to buy a pair for you when I get back to New York.” After leaving her train in Chicago the first thing .to t caught her eye; was a large window display of the same galoshes. In a smaller city in Indiana she saw the same ga­ loshes. A. week later she noticed the identical style in a town of 3,000 in Iowa. It was to n that she realized that thanks to advertising, the citizens of every section of this country have a more diversified choice of good merchandise than1 any nation in the world. (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) I Cod Liver O il Lauded A s Source o f Y itam ins Praised, condemned and finally lauded is the history of cod Uver oil, says the American Chemical society. First thought to have curative value in wasting dis­ eases and then pronounced as no more nutritious than vegetable oils, while much less pleasant, it is now recognized as the princi­ pal source of our two most im­ portant "vitamins, A and D, George D. Beal of the Mellon in­ stitute, Pittsburgh, points out. Pharmaceutical industry has improved methods of production, preserved the oils against deteri­ oration in potency and flavor, dis­ covered other natural sources of its vitamins, and produced con­ centrates of high potency and great utility. For your New Year’s eve party, why not plan one t o t is foreign in flavor? Whether you like to sway AWbf/-; to the rhythm of the rhumba, or prefer sw ing, ^ you’ll find a rhum- f j vb ba party with a K / i menu of Cuban delicacies, full of charm for your guests. There are all sorts of amusing, inexpensive fa­ vors to give an authentic note to your rhumba party decorations—lit­ tle pottery figures and tiny dolls dressed in Cuban costumes; and for noisemakers, a pair of maracas, those gourd-like rattles filled with seeds t o t rhumba orchestras shake to emphasize the beat of the music, and tiny wooden castanets that the dancers manipulate with their hands as an accompaniment to their steps. Refreshments, too, can be dis­ tinctly Cuban. A dish that has gained fame among visitors to Cuba is rice with chicken—“Arroz con pol­ io.” With rolled sandwiches and plenty of coffee, you have a deli­ cious, satisfying supper. Tlie Cuban idea of coffee is small cups and plenty of them, filled with strong, black cof­ fee. If you like, use decaffeinated coffee, sothatyour guests can (brink many cups in the Cuban manner, without fear of sleepless hours later. Remember that decaffeinat­ ed coffee needs a little extra brewing to bring out the rich flavor. After-Dinner Cofiee or Demi-Tasse. (Extra Strength) Use IV i heaping tablespoons cof­ fee, regular grind, for each cup (V i pint) of water. Make by any meth- I od desired. If using decaffeinated coffee, drip grind, measure well- rounded tablespoon instead of heap­ ing tablespoon. Arroz Con P olio. . (Chicken with rice) Cut a chicken into small pieces and wipe dry. Melt Vi cup butter or other fat in a saucepan and fry the chicken and a cup. of diced sliced ham, uncooked, until golden brown.

Just before serving, tuck a sprig of watercress into one end of each sandwich, for garnish, and remove the toothpicks. An Italian “Help-Yourself” party is a grand idea for informal enter­ taining—especially when you plan to have a crowd. Cover tables with brown wrapping paper in place of linen, or use coarse: cotton table­ cloths in red and white checks.

Frequent Cleaning Is Protection for Woodwork - Interior woodwork finish will last longer and look better if subjected to frequent and thorough cleaning. It may be kept clean by periodic removal of surface dust and by pre­ venting the formation of grease film. Woodwork should be washed or cleaned when dusting is inadequate. For cleaning varnished or painted surfaces, solvents t o t will attack the covering must be avoided as well as abrasive preparations. A good quality of soap will usually do a satisfactory job. When the paint is flecked, marred, or discol­ ored, it is necessary to resurface the woodwork. Refrigerator Tips Perishable food always should be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible. Raw fruits and vege­ tables are best washed first under running water and the outside ol milk bottles wiped with a damp cloth. Left-overs should be cooled, if necessary, and placed in spotless, tightly-covered containers to keep odors from escaping and uncon­ genial flavors frQm mixing. Foods with strong odors, such as cheese, if put into the refrigerator, should be kept on a top shelf. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I CHOOL L e sso n By RAROLO L. LUNDQUIST, D, D.

THE CHILD AND THE KINGDOM LESSON TEXT-Matthew 1:18*25; 18:1*6; 19:13-15.GOLDEN TEXT—A UtUe child ShaU lead them.—Isaiah 11:6. The children’s holiday! Yes, Christmas is the children’s day of days, and it is also the day for those who have been “converted and become as little children” (Matt. 18:3). It is quite proper that it should be so, for Christmas really means nothing very significant ex­ cept as we gather at Bethlehem’s manger and there we find a child, the Christ-child. Those, who come on the morrow to do homage to Him in the spirit of childlike faith will truly keep Christmas. In t o t spirit the writer of these notes wishes’for you who read these lines just that kind of a holy day of joy and glad­ ness. Let us then go first of all to Beth­ lehem, and there having seen the One who “became flesh and dwelt among us” as a little child, we shall be ready to go on and learn from Him what a blessed example, re­ sponsibility, and opportunity there is in the childhood which we see all around us. I. The Child—Jesus Our Saviour (Matt. 1:18-25). The virgin mother Mary “brought forth her firstborn son” and “called his name Jesus”—the one who should “save his people from their sins” (w . 21, 25). In order that He might be the Saviour, He had to be both God and man. This could only be true as God sent His own only-begotten Son into the world by giving to Him a human mother in whom He as the eternal Son of God was “conceived by the Holy Ghost” (as we express it in the creed) and became the Son of Man. For anyone who believes that God ha's all power and all wisdom to do what He wills and as He wills, and who further believes that Christ was pre-existent as the Son of God be­ fore His incarnation, there is no difficulty in believing in the virgin birth. In fact, no other manner of incarnation would have been possi­ ble. It necessarily follows that the one who denies the virgin birth of Christ thereby declares that He does not believe in the God of the Scrip­ tures and in Jesus Christ His Son our Lord. n . The Child—Our Example (18: 1-4). The disciples had been having a discussion about who was to be the greatest in t o kingdom of heaven. This was not because they desired their brothers’ advancement, for each one wanted to be the greatest (Luke 9:46). Jesus frankly told them that they needed a real change of heart, a conversion. True greatness is not a matter of worldly position or am­ bition, but of a childlike humility. Such an idea was absolutely revo­ lutionary in the day of Jesus, and in fact sounds unbelievable to the worldly man today. But it is none­ theless true that the great man or woman is the one who knows and recognizes himself to be utterly de­ pendent on God in every moment, every circumstance, every trial, and in every opportunity of life. We need to learn of our children. III. The Child—Our Responsibili­ ty (18:5, 6). These awful, solemn words should be considered with great care. What a terrible judgment awaits those Who cause little ones to stumble by reason of their false teaching, their failure to bring God’s Word to bear upon their, lives, improper discipline in the home, or the influence of a bad example. There are probably preachers, teachers in the Sunday School, grandparents, uncles, aunts, mothers, fathers, yes, even friends of little children who need to reread these verses and then cry out to God in repentance before it is too late. IV. The Child—Our Opportunity (19:13-15). Jesus knew ,fhp.. real value of a child and His loviri'glhdart reached out to invite the children to come unto Him in love, in obedience, and in trust.' When they came, He never failed to bless them. V 1'n..- The glorious thing is that we are privileged to thus bring littie children to Him. Someone may say, “Jesus is no longer on earth, I can­ not take my. child to him.” Jeeus is not here in the flesh, but He is here ever present with His children. Ypu can bring your child to Him, for the coming which He has in mind in these verses is not in any physical sense but rather spiritual. The parents who teach their littie ones about the, birth of Christ on this Christmas day have hrotight them to Him. Every word of in­ struction, every encouragement to pray, .every example of devotion to Christ which the child may .follow is the true bringing of that child :to Him. Will you do it this Christmas—in the home, In the Sunday School, in the church, anywhere? If you do, there will be blessing beyond your ability to contam it and you will have A Blessed Christmas! - ' Charming Frock For Little Ladies rTHIS frock (8587) is so devas- tatingly becoming to fashion- wise moppets that you needn’t be surprised if your own small daughter develops a slight superi­ ority complex when she puts it on!

In her emorP tones ^ ® p ™ h h e r fingersan d then fell, "Del, I want to ask your advice about something.” The Senator coughed faintly over the telephone. He knew what that meant. Olym­pia had made up her mind. She never asked his advice until she had reached a conclusion. “Del, what do you think of my bringing these poor dear little chil­ dren back to Washington to live with us a while?” The Senator cleared his throat. “Wait till I wipe my glasses,” he said. ^^j^^^^ickted he’s crying," she ie insurance mol “You pay nothing with that in­surance moneyl You save that in­ surance money for emergencies, as Adele says, it you come with me, you come as my own children, and —the Senator pays the bills. And I will say for the Senator, he’s got money and he’s willing to spend it. He’s no begrudger . . . Except maybe on taxes . . . Well, is it all settled then?” “Not quite settled,” said Helen, smiling. “We haven’t decided; there are so many things to consider. And you haven’t asked the Senator. You talk to him about it when you go home, and let us know how he feels.” “When I go home! But you’re go­ing with me!” Helen shook her head. “Not un­ less you stay till the. close of the semester. Limpy’s got to finish high school. That will give the Senator plenty of time to decide how he feels about the idea.” Aunt Olympia gave a derisive snort. “It takes him no time at all for me to make up my mind,” she said. “I’ll call him up right now and settle it.”Aunt Olympia got the Senator on & long-distance call to Washington. He had been in bed and asleep but he answered cheerfully enough. “You girls come here,” whispered Aunt Olympia. “You listen for your­ selves.” She was very sure of the Senator. “Hello, Del,” she boomed heartily into the transmitter. “Got you out of bed, eh?”"I wasn’t quite asleep,” be as­ sured her politely. by magic under her ample curves. Her hands clenched and her dim­ ples disappeared into knotty knuck­ les. The left corner of her mouth tightened and curled upward. The ‘lid of her left eye went down un­ til the lashes touched her cheek. The girls, amazed, almost fright­ ened, stared in speechless wonder for a moment. Then Helen found voice. “You must be very tired, Auntie. Let’s go to bed. We can talk it oyer tomorrow.” “Yes, let’s go to bed,” said Aunt Olympia. Later the girls came to know and to fear—but excitingly—this look of [Aunt Olympia’s. It signified that :he had suddenly turned Machiavel- [ian, had begun to play politics, .ven the Senator quailed before :hat look. Give me the receiver.” Olympia charged back into the conversation. “We don’t know what train we’re/ taking. The girls can’t come for Pi couple of weeks—”“Why not?” he demanded testily. “Why put ofl till next week What1 should have been done long ago?” “Because Limpy flunked her math—I’ll send you a telegram, Del.” And she hung up the receiver with a triumphant air. “You can see he wants you.” “He sounded very nice,” said Helen. “Yes, he’s nice. As senators go, I think he’s particularly nice. If he could just break himself of that silly habit of coughing instead of making a remark, and wiping his glasses instead of bursting right out into manly tears, it would be an im­ provement. But he’s nice. You’ll like the' Senator.” “I—I really don’t know what to say, Aunt Olympia,” said Helen dis­tractedly. “It is so—important—” ' “Of course it’s important. Don’t say anything. Just think it over and then come, that’s all. Thinir 0f dear little Limpy here! Think of Adele. This may be your last chance to see the real inside goings-on Washington, for if what we hi from home is true, the Senatoi due for a fadeout this fall am will be our last year in Washington. And then, suddenly, beforf their eyes, an amazing transfafmation took place. From beingjtearful, fond and persuasive, AunmDlympia became rigid and tense. Xbnes, or very hard muscles, appeflfed as if CHAPTER n On the next morning, the girls were shocked to see that Aunt Olym­ pia retained the tense rigidity that had come upon her so suddenly the night before. She was quiet all morning. Not until they sat at lunch­ eon did her expression change. Slowly then her features relaxed. The left corner of her mouth went down, her left eyelid went up to normal. Her pale blue eyes be­ came childish, bland and slightly vacuous. “Since when,” she inquired pres­ ently, in. a voice of studied non­chalance, “have grocery boys in Iowa, begun making deliveries in neckties and gloves?” For all the mild unconcern in her eyes, she did not overlook that a sudden electric wave, almost of warning, flashed briefly among the girls. It was Limpy who answered. Later, when Aunt Olympia knew the girls better, she would have known at once that because it was Limpy who answered, Limpy was least involved in the query. It was an act of unstudied teamwork, a de­ fense mechanism, entirely sisterly and .natural, unmentioned even be­ tween themselves, that the girls had developed for their mutual good.“Oh, you mean Brick! He isn’t the delivery boy! He owns the store!” said Limpy.” He doesn’t really make the deliveries. He leaves -things here as a favor on his way home to luncheon. He lives out this way.” “They have a lovely house,” said Helen belatedly. “They hired a flor­ ist landscaper to lay out their grounds.” “There’s still money in groceries, darling,” concluded Limpy. “How old are you, Limpy?” asked Aunt Olympia again, with more pro­ nounced casualness.“Seventeen,” came promptly. “Sixteen and a half, says the Bi­ ble,” corrected Adele. . “Why, Auntie?” “Oh, I just wondered!”That evening, when she again brought up the subject of their go­ ing with her to Washington, there was nothing nonchalant, nothing cas­ ual, about her. She was taut, in the throes of politics. She listened intently, sitting motionless, with un­ changing expression, to Helen’s half­hearted recital of the difficulties in their way. In the first place, they could not make any move at all un­ til Limpy had finished this last term of high school. “That’s i soon enough. You can come then,” said Aunt Olympia agreeably.In the end, it simmered down to two facts: that while Helen was obliged honestly to admit it was a marvelous opportunity for Adele and Limpy, who were young and whose lives were still unplanned, her own future lay right there in Iowa where she already had her teacher’s cer­ tificate; and that her sisters would not go east without her. "But there’s a future beyond teaching school,” said Aunt Olym­ pia. “There’s the real future—mar­riage: every woman’s real career. What eligible men have you in a one-horse town like this? You girls have the looks and the style and the personality to marry anybody—any­ body at all; diplomats, millionaires, senators—anybody at all.” I Again she noted the faint Sash, half-questioning, half-warning, that glinted from girl to girl. \ "Even though I dread separation from the girls,” said Helen, “I see the advantages for them and—I wish —I even urge them to go without mW.” {‘That’s out,” said Limpy. STogether we stay or together we goST added Adele. )po tell you the truth, girls,” Aunt |;3$npia began guardedly, “while I you devotedly and want you to with me for yourselves alone, •to tell the truth—I really need It may be that you three girls, g, innocent, pretty, can be the ator’s salvation. The Senator’s ilvation and my salvation. Polit­ ically you can be of great help.” The girls stared at her in star­ tled silence. Then:"We don’t know a thing about pol­ itics!”‘Tm the only one old enough to vote anyhow, and it will be my first,” said Helen. “It’s not your votes we need. It’s your vote-getting quality, your pull.” Aunt Olympia’s left lid re­ duced her eye to a mere squint. “The Senator comes up again this fall and he’s got a tough fight on his hands.” She warmed to- her sub­ ject. “And do you know who’s do­ ing the Senator all this dirt? It’s a man the Senator made! He simply made him! He was a small-town preacher until the Senator persuad­ ed him to go into politics! There was a . split in our party and the Governor was trying to get control and naturally the Senator couldn’t support him. So he made a deal with the Republicans and promised to support Brother Wilkie for gov­ ernor if they would run him, and they did and he was elected. The Senator planned his entire campaign for him. He even put up the mon­ ey-most of it himself and got his friends to contribute the rest. He taught him all the tricks. He lent him our own publicity man, the best campaign man that ever lived. And what happened?” “What did?” asked the girls, breathlessly, in one voice. “Well, two years ago, when the Senator had pledged himself to somebody else and asked Brother Wilkie—tihe Governor, that is—to withdraw like a gentleman, he wouldn’t do it. He ran again. He used all the tricks the Senator had taught him—and our publicity man —and won!” “But if he’s Governor, that doesn’t interfere with the Senator, does it?” “Ah, but now the bug’s really got him! He wants to be senator. He aims to be President some day, we all know that. He doesn’t even deny it. He’s come out against the Sena­ tor and is putting up the fight of his life to beat us at our own game.” “But what could we do about it, Auntie? Not even I could vote in your state!” “You don’t have to vote. Your looks will turn the trick; your looks and your innocence and—and your general pathos. Brother Wilkie, the Governor, that is, the snake-in-the- grass, has seven of the most un­ speakable little brats that ever lived. He campaigns with them. The Senator put him up to it in the first place but he’s running it into the ground. He takes the whole kit and boodle of them right along with him and has them sit on the plat­ form and eat peanuts and shout, ‘Vote for Papa!’ ” The girls tried considerately but unsuccessfully to repress their laughter. “Not being satisfied with the sev­ en brats, last campaign he dug up some old hag from someplace, calls her his great-aunt, a wrinkled, gnarled, crippled old beldame who hobbles around on a cane and pre­tends she can’t hear without an ear trumpet. He takes her stumping with him, too, and she bangs on the “You’d better stick to mourning.” back of the chair with her tin trumpet and shouts through it, when he makes a good point, ‘That’s my nevvy! TejU ’em, NewyI1 In my opinion, it’s a megaphone to shout through and no ear trumpet at all. And 'what’s more, I don’t believe she’s bis aunt. I think he—or that devil, Len Hardesty—dug her up out of some graveyard or old ladies’ home, for she’s never around except during campaigns, and she certainly doesn’t look like him or any of the seven brats.” “Oh, I see what you’re getting at,” said Limpy brightly. “You want us to hobble around on canes and shout through tin trumpets and take the shine Off the beldame.”"Oh, no I don’t. Not by a long shot.” Aunt Olympia relaxed then and leaned back in her chair, re­garding them with a smile of bliss­ful contentment. “I just want you to be three dear sweet innocent lit­ tle orphans—pretty ones!—that the Senator and I have taken into our home to live with us.” Her eyes narrowed suddenly. “You’d better stick to mourning, I suppose, though in fie main I’m against mourning. I don’t consider it religious . . . Yes, mourning, all right. But we’ll soften it. We’ll make it black and white, and white and black.”“I wonder if I’m getting color­ blind,” said Adele. “They sound just alike to me.” “Not a bit of it. It’ll be mostly black with touches of white for Hel­ en, because she’s the oldest; and mostly white with touches of black for Limpy, because she’s no more than a child. And it’ll be about half and half for you, Adele, be­ cause black and white is Very be­ coming and will set off your good looks.” (TO BE CONTINUED) f CLASSIFIED D E P A R T M E N T BABY CHICKS __ BRED FOB PRODUCTION:BAISED FOB PROFIT!
