Evenly Balanced Rev. Walter G. Isenhour. Hiddenite. N. G. It means much In life to be even ly balanced and not lopsided. Per haps the majority of people are, in some respect, out of balance. If it is not one thing, it is something else. Many are out of balance politi cally. They are extremists, or lean too heavy to one side. The same is true of lovers of money, pleasure and the things of this world which are material and temporal. Hverybody in sin and wicked ness are unevenly balanced. Sin swings men hellwatd, and this is always the wrong direction to lean and travel. What God said to King Belshazzar when H e wrote bis doom upon the wall of the banquet hall can be said of every sinner to day: "Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.” It is a sad and deplorable thing to be found wanting before God as men travel through life, and more especially when they come to die. However, the sinner can repent be fore God, obtain forgiveness, then walk uprightly abd righteously -be fore God and man and have an ev. en balance. Many people arc unbalanced Te ligiously. They lean too heavy and too one-sided to some false doctrine, or some creed, type, sha dow and form. Ttaey take the sha dow for the snbstance, the non es sential for the real. They have a formal worship they observe and go through, but they fall to realize that God is a Spirit, and seeks such to worship Him as worship in spirit and in truth. (John 4 :23-24) Mere format worship is but empty and void It never brings the soul into fellowship with God, neither w ill it bring the soul to 'th e haven of rest” when this life is ended It is good to be evenly balanced educatb natly, politically, and in our plans, aims aud purposes, and In our opinions and views, and in onr understandings; but this m ay not always be in every particular with the best of people, as we are all subject to mistakes, weaknesses aud blunders; but to be unevenly balanced religiously Is the most s-> rious. It is so easy to go to some extreme in religion, or to be ex tremely cold, or formal, or luke warm, or fanatical. Only by a life consecrated unreservedly unto God, and by much pr-yer and a close walk with Him, can we stay even ly balanced. Fork News Notes. Mr. and Mrs R.

The physician getteth 10 plunks. The editor writetb a stick and a half and tellelh the tnul- titndes that the child tippeth the bean at nine pounds. Yea, he lieth even as a centurion. And the proud father giveth him a Cremo. Behold, the young one groweth up and graduath. And the editor putteth into bis paper a swell no tice. Yea, a peach of a notice. He telleth of the wisdom of the young woman and of-her exceeding come liness. Like unto the roses of Sharon is she and her gown is play ed up to heat the band. And the dressmaker getteth tw o score and four iron men. And the editor gets a note of thanks from the sweet girl graduate. And the daughter goeth on the story - of the farewell party. It runneth a column solid. Aud the fair one remembeth him from afar with a picture postal card that cost- eth six for a jitney. Behold, she returneth, and the youth of the town fall down and worship; Sbe picketh one and lo. she picketh a lemon. But the editor catleth him one of our promising young men and getteth away with it. And they sent unto the editor a bid to the bidding, and behold the bids are fashioned in a far city. Flowery and long is the wedding notice which the editor prienteth. The minister getteth 10 bones. The groom standeth the editor off for a 12-months subscription. Al! flesh is grass and in time the wife is gathered unto the soil. The editor printeth a death notice, two columns of obituary, three lodge notices, a cubit of poetry and a card of thanks. And he forgot, tetb to read the proof on the head and the darned thing cometh out, 'Gone to H e r Last Roasting Place ” And all that are akin to the de ceased jnmpeth on the editor with great jumps. And they pulleth out tbetr and cancelleth their subs, and they swing the hammer even unto the third and fourth generations. Canst thou beat it?—Selected. Over One Hundred Years More than one hundred and ele ven years ago, in November 1831, a little wood-burning locomotive puffed its way along the tracks of the South Carolina Railioad be. tween Charleston and Hamburg, S. C. T railing. behind were several dinkey little cars. One of them car. ried the first United States mail to be handled by an American rail road. Today, t h e transportation of mail, particularly mail addressed to men in uniform, is an important* job for the Southern Railway svs tern of which the South Carolina Railroad is a part. ''The men and women of the Southern' know what mail from home means to a fighting man,” Ernest E. Norris, president of the Southern Railway System, said re cently in a statement which is now appearing in newspapers. "That’s why we keep it moving, day and night, regardless of its ever-increas ing volume, and regardless of the thousand and one difficulties a rail road faces in time of war.” "W e know, too ” Mr. Norris added- "that the same faith and hope and courage which today en rich this mail to America’s fight, ing men, will' tomorrow inspire t new and a greater Southland.” ADS For SALE IN OUR NEXT ISSUF Paying Off Lend-Lease Wifh Scotch Liqnor Maybe the general public has not known how Prime Minister Churchl ill and his English government are repaying President Roosevelt and his government for food, clothing and war materials they get thro igh the lend-lease It remained tor Drew Pearson, in The Washington Merry-Go-Round, and The Pro gress, of Washington, to give the public the facts. The following is taken from 'Phe Progress, commen ting on the Pearson article: Yet 'it is remarkable that the British have maintained tbeir deli veries of Scotch whiskey despite hell and high water.. The ships which have come here for Lend- Lease supplies are loaded with Scotch whiskey, sale 0 f which creates practically the only dollar exchange the British now have In the three years since the war be gan, 10 million cases of Scotch have been shipped, with a loss of only 200,000 cases.” Note the concluding line: with a Iossofonlv 200,000 cases,” The presumption is that those 200,000 cases were sent down by the Ger man subs. Would the “loss” have been any the less if it had been con sumed at a high cost by the A- merican drinkers? Suppose the en tire 10,00 0 ,0 0 0 cases bad been sent to the bottom, would the consumers have been any worse off? If they had spent the money which they paid for the 9 ,800,000 cases that were "saved” for clothing and food instead would they or their country been thereby made poorer? Is not the money that is spent by the consumer for iiqnor "lost” ? Would not both be richer if the en tire cargo of "Scotch” had gone to the bottom? And what about the ’Lend-Lease American good to help win the war going to.

Loy D. .Thompson) A young lieutenant who has won bis wings writes to a younger man seeking his wings. In this letter five points aregive this young man. The fifth point is as follows: "Keep some room for religion in your daily life. It helps. Don’t ask me why An hour in chapel on Sundays, a few prayers daily; occasional Bible reading—after these I find it easy to breathe deeply, pot my chest out, and stride firmly forward.” Elsie Robinson calls these-five points: Blue prints for a gentleman.” Wbat wholesome advice from a clean up standing big brother to a struggling youth! Boys like this will go places. As long as we have such young men in our armed forces we need not be fearful of the future. "Keep some room for religion and offer a few prayers daily.” Men across the world are beginning to realize that life without God is a nightmare. Too many of us have been trying to save ourselves by our own sagacity and cleverness. Our religion has been a naturalistic religion We have felt the necessity for contacting tbe su pernatural. Keep some room for communio with the supernatoal and life will grow strong. Taut nerves, tired brains, emotions torn with an guish and eves drooping with long waiting will find relaxation and rest fulness You say this is a hard task. It is. Many of us never learn tbe se cret. Jesus says: "Come unto me all ye that labor and arr heavy laden and I will give you refreshment, en larged power,, quiet contentment rest.” I am sure we all feel the need of this undergirding of life, composure in tbe midst ot confusion, assurance in the midst of uncertain ty, a mighty fortress in the midst of war’s bewi dering a n d devasting blasts. Nothing can beat tbe young lieutenant’s advice: “Keep some room ,or religion and quiet commu- sion with God.” Along this road lies our hope. This being true let us pray and keep on praying.

W h o ’s N e w s T h i s W e e k By D elo s W h eeler L o v ela ce Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. X J EW YORK--When Maj- Gen. Robert W. Crawford talks in earnest, his thin, small mouth twists and the words come out of one eor- „ - ner after theKeeps uim s, Gas9 m anner of Grub Rolling'to t h e late, Men in N. Africa Brest Cohan.The gener al is in North Africa now, talking in earnest to keep guns and grub and gasoline rolling to the American army there. He commands the Middle East Service of Supply. He reached Africa around the middle of January and had a whole month of ease before work caught up with him. Before that he commanded an armored division at Port Knox. The chances are that in Africa he has lost weight. For him it would be an easy matter, because he has al ways been one of our plumper men- at-arms. In the last war the guys in the trenches used to rib the SOS with pointed mention of non fighting soldiers. They talked that way even when the supply trucks ran Boche barrages like ducks diving into a shower of No. 9 shot. Very likely the talk in African fox-holes is the same and with even less reason, for in these days of fluid fronts the Crawford cargo crews are as likely to find themselves along side a Mark VI tank as a purely American supply point. In such a dilemma the general instructs the crews to say “Vot Iss!” in a loudly deceptive voice if they feel it will help, but above all to get a-rolling. General Crawford is of the army’s elite on two counts. He was gradu ated from West Point. He took the best post-graduate courses, War Col lege, Command and General Staff school. He is a New Yorker, 52 years old and was three years out of West Point when we went to war the last time. A captain then, he finished a lieutenant-colonel. This was fairly close to par for the year and a half course. A MBASSADOR CLARENCE E. GAUSS, starting toward bond- weary Washington from bomb-weary Chungking for consultations, should OnWayHereWith 5 ^ « First-Hand T,ale of need about War-Weary China ?uhina °a th e tip of his tongue. Except for a couple of turns in Paris and Australia, he has served all his diplomatic career there, and his career runs back to 1907. Shanghai was his first post. He was deputy consul, after a while spent at stenography in the house of representatives. Then he was consul at Amoy, Tsinan, Mukden, and finally counselor to the legation at Peiping. Washington was his birthplace and he got back now and then, marry ing a Los Angeles girl on one visit. Maybe her preference turned him to the Paris consulate. The Austra lian assignment came later. He was our first minister there. But when an ambassador to China was need ed two years ago he packed up and went back to his old stamping ground. He has been a quiet ambassador. He has a lean, quiet look and a shrewd one too, behind neat spec tacles. When he smiles a dimple that is practically a sinkhole appears in his right cheek. This is because he smiles so much more with the right side of his sharp mouth. The effect, though this description may make it seem otherwise, isn’t bad at all. IN RUSSIA a Bolshevist by any other name is just as Red. Thus Trotsky was really somebody else. So is Stalin.

MoIotoff means hammer, plainly a better way to call a man who set out at 15 years of age to break the old Imperial government. Molotoff’s official biography says he was born the son of a shop assistant. That was 53 years ago. By 1905 he was a professed Marxist, and a year later joined a bolshevik group. Ten years later he was on the Bolshevik Central Committee. Meanwhile he and Stalin had met, and started their newspa per, Pravda, and Molotoff had been arrested or exiled thrice. Both Lenin and Stalin schooled Molotoff, and he likes to tell of this. He likes, too, to boast that he is an old Bolshevist, an early bird among the revolutionists. In Russia he is called Stalin’s chief aide. He is, actually, vice premier as well as commissar of foreign affairs but when the Russians say,chief aide, they mean to point to his loyalty to his superior. He is Stalin’s Har ry Hopkins. Molotoff is heavy, but not fat. His hair has grown gray, but his thick mustache is still black. His mouth is strong, confident. His wide fore head tops off a face more than ordi narily good looking.

Sub in Jap Waters By Lieut. Slade Culler, V. S. IV. (W NV Feature—Tireuib Zpcciai arrangement with Tie American Magazine.) Our United States submarine had been operating against the enemy in the vicinity of Japanese-held is lands when, one afternoon, our cap tain, Lieut. Parks, called me to his cabin. I thought his eyes gleamed with unusual excitement, but he only said casually, “Good news, Slade,” and handed me a wireless he had just received. I held It to the light and read: “Proceed at once to the coast of Japan—” Sometimes it is difficult to re press an impulse to whoop with defight, and this was one of those times. This was the mo ment we had lived for, the mo ment every submariner dreams about. A Surface Engagement. We turned and cruised steadily westward. The Japanese coastal pa trol system extends many miles to sea and is painstakingly thorough. The first time we got very close to shore before we were spotted. Just before daylight, as we were preparing to dive, a patrol boat came at us with its guns spitting. We didn't want to waste torpedoes—we were a long way from replacements —so decided to fight it out with our deck guns. It was our first surface engagement and it proved almost disappointingly brief. One of our'first shells struck the enemy’s magazine and he simply disintegrated. We cruised over the area, but found no survivors. Sink Tanker in 3 Minutes. ■ A day later, In the same neigh borhood, we spotted a big tanker about sunrise. After some maneu vering we gave him three torpedoes. AU were hits. The third struck aft, and must have exploded his boilers. There was a terrific blast that threw parts of his bridge dear over his mainmast, and he sank in three min utes and four seconds. He went down by the stern, his bow rising high in the air, to give us an exceUent view of the rising sun painted on it. We surfaced and cruised among the men in the water, intending to give them emergency supplies, but a bomber came winging out from the land and we had to dive. At this time we were in the busy steamer lane between Yokohama and Singapore where important tar gets might be expected. So, when Lieutenant Pleatman saw a heavy smudge on the horizon, we hurried over to investigate. It proved to be a troop transport of 13,600 tons, heavily loaded with men and sup plies and escorted by a large de stroyer. It was headed for Singa pore. Sink Transport and Freighter. We had a ticklish problem. The destroyer was weaving a zigzag course which could not be predict ed. It was a long time before we could maneuver into a position off the transport’s port beam. We gave her two torpedoes. Both hit. Be fore we could turn, the destroyer was coming for us full speed, fol lowing down the torpedo tracks. We dived and maneuvered to safety. When the destroyer had to leave us to pick up survivors, we raised our periscope in time to see the trans port settle slowly on an even keel. An interisland freighter was our next target. We decided to attack with our deck gun to save torpe does, so surfaced at point-blank range and let go. We had fired 17 rounds, when three things happened simultaneously: Our gun jammed with a projectile wedged in the bar rel, their ship caught fire, and the Japs surrendered by striking their colors and running up a weird as sortment . of white cloths rang ing from sheets to underwear. They took to their rafts, and their ship continued to burn until she sank. During the daylight we cruised along' the sea lanes at periscope depth seeking worth-while targets. Nights, we would surface in a quiet spot, usually in the lee of one of the many small islands, to charge our batteries. It was thpre that I smelled for the first time the strange, haunt ing fragrance of the Japanese for- - ests. At dawn we lay offshore for a long time, watching the people. Lieutenant Camole, standing periscope watch one morning, electrified the ship by reporting: “Target off the starboard bow!” As we moved up . to let her have it, we discovered that she had been masking an escort destroyer. He was on her opposite side; we couldn’t hqpe for a more favorable opportu nity. Without delay, we fired a bow torpedo. It had barely left the tube when the destroyer swung sharply and came charging toward us. Wo fired another torpedo into his path. What followed was a submariner's dream.

M HARDEE, FORuER PAS TOR MOCKSVILLE METHODIST CHURCH Camp Woltera, Tex , Uarcb 27.— Since my work ia in a battalion com posed mostly of trainees from my hume state, I feel that North Caro- lina'parents and wives would be in teres ted in learning something of their son’s and husband’s activities seen from the close personal view of an army chaplain. Thia camp is typical of training camps throughout tbe nation. It ia one of the largest of ah infantry re- placement training centers. Like your boy, other boys from Florida to Washington and from U aine' to California are brought here to be schooled in the "art of war.” They receive the best of training and e» S-Hitial comforts . , . food, shelter, and medical a tent ion. Spiritual life seems to mean more when physical life is so precarious.’ said a Methodist minister. About 10 o’clock one crisp, sunny morning in November, a long troop train pulled to a stop on the o m s spur. A military band was playing marches. A Iitde weary from their 50 .hour ride, the boys got off were greeted and then marched about mile, and a half lo their company area. They were arranged in a se> mi-circular formation and seated on the ground. The chaplain stepped up, faced the men and began: Greetings I want to welcome you men to camp. Tbe chaplain is here for your welfare. He is your, friend and adviser. This is the first time many of you boys have been way from home. You left your fam ilies, wives and sweethearts to come here and serve in this great cause. We want everyone of yon to be the same good fellow that vou were civilian life so we are extending each of yon an invitation to attend church as often as possible. "And if you have any problems.’ Yes, if they have any problems, the chaplain will help them And believe me. for about the first two weeks the boys halve plenty of prob lems. It is not an easy thing to sur render civilian ways and customs and acquire a military bearing. Tbe first few weeks the chaplain spends- much of his time in the office conferring with soldiers tSanv of the men un dergo a psychological change and this change needs the advice and counseling thoughts that a minister can give. Scme want to talk about religion, and of the security and peace of mind that it can bring. Somewant to talk about religion, and of the security and oeace of wind that it can bring. Some want adyice on how to. handle the intri cate problems carried ever from ci vilian life. These range from vice to the lovelorn to . complicated financial problems. Many are just blue or homesiclc kids who want to talk a load off their chests. At trie beginning of the e\ cle. the next of kiti of each of the trainees receives a p st card from the chap lain saving that the bov arrived safe Iv. It further states that he is re ceiving g< od treatment and was in* vited to attend church by a minister in the army. The boy’s family is k»d to write encouraging letters to soldiers. Duringtheinitialperiod of thei* training, the men.listen to a series of orientation lectures in which the chaplain.participates. Be cnnnseto the men on morals, character, sex, and citizenship. A word about the armv chapels. These are designed in New England colonial styles. Paneled walls of ktiotty pine, large stained glass windows, huge dak beams support ing the ceiling and massive' oak fur* nishings a I help to create the kind of peaceful atmosphere Conductive to worship Tbe bui!t-in cupboard and altar can be arranged for Pro testant, Catholic, or Jnwisb' services. Bach chapel has a seating capacity for about 390 people. A Bammond electric organ is standard equipment in every armv chapel. - Times goes on and the men work hard in their training. Tn m^ntian few of the subjects; they studv such thinirs as map reading, mechani cal strne ure of all the weapons, and the technique or skiilful use of these weapons. They get D lenty of close order drijl and make long hikes. Calisthenics toughen their bodies; group games create in them a spirit I of tram play. There are a thousand [and one Other things in tbe training I weeks of instruction, ready to help I any boy when he gets in trouble. As a welfare worker, he is often influ ential in settling disciplinary cases concerning the soldier. Visit to the hospitals bring courage and spritnal comfort to the patient. He cou - : eels with men in the guard house. , W iththetroops on hikes or when they are working in the field, tbe chaplain is there talking with them singing with them. In short, he is a perpetual source of encouragement urging the men to their best efforts. Over three months have elapsed' since that November day when the boys first arrived in camp. ( Itis a cold, windy afternoon in February. Fine particles of snow from a gray sky blow across thei wind-swept Texas plains. Sturdy, a - Iert soldier-citizens assemble in front of their barracks. Toughened, they are ready to perform the job thev were picked to do. They mar^h to the spur, where the long troop train is waiting to carry these men in olive drab to parts nnknow. The band is there again Thechaplain is there, busily distributing magazines, litera ture, shaking hands, bidding fare* well. As the train pulls away the band strikes up the tune, “Auld Lang Syne.” The last car disap pears over a ridge. The boys have gone, taking with them many cheer- ished possessions; iremnries of camp; r-f their friends; of their experiences. John F. Johnson Funeral services for John F.

Steel Reports 1942 PrwlnctiOB 28 Per Gent GreaterThan World War I Peak " Onited States Steel Corporation's Annual Report lor 1942, reporting attainment of a steel ingot tonnage production SS per cent greater than In the peak year of World War I, has Just been released as "a production story—and a financial story—of a great war effort."Production, by U. S. Steel in- IMfi of more than 30,000,000 net tons of ingot* as well as tile manufacture of a steady Sow of products entering into thousands of items used in prosecuting the w ar were described by Irving S. Olds, Chairman of the Board of Directors, in his review of the year contained in the Corporation’s forty-first annual report.The victory parade of steel ingots was listed as only one of several principal contributions of U. S. Steel to the war effort. These contributions were enumerated as follows: “First, a record volume of steel and other materials needed not only for the fabrication of essential w ar products but also for the creation of new facilities to make such war products has been- produced. Second* the technical ability representing many decades of accumulated research and experience has been made available for the requirements of the Government* Third, the construction and operation of vast new facilities for the Government in connection with the war effort have been undertaken. Fourth, millions of dollars of U. S. Steel’s funds have been expended for various facilities contributory to the war effort."A one-page condensation of the financial record of the Corporation for the year describes in simple language what disposition was made of the $1,865,951,692 received by the Corporation from sales of its products ana services during 1942. Employment costs of $783 million in 1942 were 25% greater than for the previous year; 1942 taxes of $204 million were 21% more than in the preceding year; while dividends to stockholders remained unchanged. "he amount carried forward for future needs of the Corporation was 78% less than in 1941.Among achievements cited is the development of the airplane landing mat. The serious problem of handling plane landings on nastily built air fields was solved with the war-time invention by Caraegie-Xllinois Steel Corporation, a U. S. Steel subsidiary* of a landing mat* consisting of portable interlocking steel sections. It was pronounced the outstanding development of the year In the field of aviation by the Chief of the Army Air Force. As mass production methods were evolved, other companies were licensed to use the process, and thirty smaller manufacturers are now.S oducing these landing mat sections quantity.The report reveals that in 1942 one subsidiary. Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, completed more destroyers for tne Navy Department In shorter building time than any other shipyard in the country. A new shipyard built by this subsidiary for the Navy Department began operations five months after ground was broken. A fully equipped shipyard for the/ production of the latest UrPe of tank landing craft was constructed and is • being operated for the Navy Department by American Bridge Company, another subsidiary.An interesting comparison of the use of U. S. Steel's own resources and of Government funds for the expansion of emergency facilities undertaken by U. S. Steel from June, 1940, to the end of 1942, shows that the ratio of U. S. Steel’s investment to the use of Government funds was 65c of its own money to every dollar of Government funds used. This compares with a ratio for all industry of 27c of private funds to one dollar of Government funds. In this expansion program. U. S. Steel's private investment was $262,000,000, as compared with $430,000,000 of Government funds expended, making a total of $718,000,000 expended In the program.— Adv. Maine Shipyards To glimpse the new maritime activity in its old-time setting it is fitting that one go to the 300-year-old ship building city of Bath, Maine, near where the Virginia, the first vessel built on the American conti nent, was launched in 1608. Kitteryr where the Banger, commanded by John Paul Jones, was built on Badger island, offers ships of today* Almost as famous as the ships they sailed were the homes that Maine 6ea captains owned ashore. - These precious symbols of the past show the fine old Georgian mansions seen in Maine’s coastal houses. Of inter est to visitors is the "Captain’s Walk" on the root Tradition has it that the captain ashore would pace the "walk" as if it were a quarter deck. When they were afloat and homeward bound their wives would utilize it as a vantage point from which to watch for the returning vesseL Watch Army Addresses If a soldier writes you that his ad dress is "A.P.O.

Army Salvages Material Salvage materials, including tires; tubes, scrap rubber, scrap metals; clothing and textiles and other mis cellaneous items, are being collect ed at overseas bases of the United1 States army and returned to this country for further use In the war effort It is planned that where mil itary ; operations permit salvable materials will be gathered from bat tlefields.

Now continue with lady’s story. CHAPTER V “Why, several of the guests. Hugh Norcross and the minister. I don’t think Mr. Potter does any thing but paint, but Bessie Norcross sometimes plays. - You don’t mean —?” Again the picture of Mr. De Witt saying what he’d like to do to Roddy as he made his vicious stroke on the lawn came to my mind. “You didn’t see a golf club in the basement, near the chest, I mean, did you?” “ Nothing but that hand with the ring—flashing horribly.” I hid my. face in my hands and shuddered. “I’m a brute,” Victor said. “We won’t talk about it any more.” “We will, too,” I flared. “There wasn’t any golf club there when I examined the chest after the auc tion. I’m sure of that, because I hunted around for something to pry up the Iid with, and had to use a bobby pin. Why? Did you see one down there tonight, Mt. Quade?” “I did,” he said, “but I didn’t mention the fact to the others. It was back of the chest, and there was a dark stain on it that looked like blood.” “Blood!” I repeated, horrified. “Positively. And in the chest, too. Not much, but a stain at one end. I made De Witt and Potter stay on the stairs while I investigated with a flash.” “So you went ahead—?” “And opened the chest—it was unlocked—to find it empty. Then I asked the others to scout around the cliff path, beyond the basement door to see if friend Lane was stagger ing along wounded. But I knew bet ter. I wanted to get rid of them and have time to examine the chest and shut it up again.” I was shaking all over, yet enjoy ing it in a way—not the murder, of course; but the mystery, the excite ment, being mixed up in the middle of it with such a topnotcher as Vic tor Quade. Suddenly I was filled with terror. “Could his—his body have been in the chest when I was trying to open it after the auction?” “Undoubtedly. The killer had put it there for safekeeping, but some thing made him decide he’d better get Tid of it. Anybody know about that old chest?” “Everybody. AU our guests. They knew I’d bought the church and I bragged quite openly about using the old sea box for a hope chest.” “Just when was that?” “I don’t know. Suppertime, when I was serving, I think. They aU congratulated me.” Victor Quade’s dark eyes glinted. “You’U never want it for a hope chest now. TeU me, why did you buy the church?” Should I teU turn? I wanted to, but the $500 stiU hidden in my stock ing and the sUence imposed by my anonymous friend bade me wait. “Oh, for a lending library or a tea room.” I took the defensive. “I’m really a teacher, stranded without a school. This hostess business is just a vacation affair.” “But a lending Ubrary—so far from town?” I could see he didn’t beUeve me, though I looked him straight in the eye. “WeU, if you want to write mystery stories, here’s one ready made. AU you have to do is fiU in the gaps.” “It’s perfect. Couldn’t have asked anything better.” “Even if you had constructed it yourself? Did you?” “The girl has a criminal instinct. Miss Jason, you must go to bed. To morrow’U be a lallapaloosa. But if you get a minute, will you jot down anything unusual that occurs to you about this business? Help me work it out? We’ve quite a head start on the police.” It was after midnight. I prom ised and said goodnight. But though he sent me to bed, Mr. Quade seemed reluctant to let me go. It woiild be easy enough to check up whose mashie was missing, he said, but the police would be leary of a murder with no, body. The bridge was different. Time bomb, he decided. He hoped something definite would be washed ashore. Just one more question, and he’d let me go. Why should Lane want that wretched little church enough to come just for the auction, wherever he’d come from? “Somewhere out West,” I told him. “Los Angeles, I think, or San Francisco. I don’t know why he should want the church, either,, or how he knew about the auction. The castle bas the most scenic position on the Head but be never goes there any more. Been trying to sell it.” “Probably takes the local Rock- ville papers. That’s how he knew about the auction. Good night.” He smiled at me and I liked him. “Don’t-worry.’ “Good night” I turned on the dimmer in the hallway and started upstairs. Half way up I felt, rather than saw, someone staring down at me. Petri fied, I forced myself to look up. Bessie Norcross was leaning over the banisters. “Oh, I’m so glad it’s you, Judy,” she said. “I heard voices and hoped you hadn’t come up yet. Did you get my key?” What did she know? How long had she been there? Had she heard anything of the goings-on? Appar- ently not or she’d have yelled for her brother. “I’m so sorry, Miss Norcross. I did get you a key, but left it down at the church in my bag, after the auction. You shall have it tomor row without fail.” “Well, I’d like it tonight. Do you know your guests have been miss ing things out of their rooms?” “Sh-h-h-h! Please. Nobody has re ported—” “Well, I know better. Mr. Pot ter’s just discovered he has lost a bottle of turpentine and he’s furi ous. Have to go to Rockville for more, he said, and he wants to fin ish his picture of the old Quaker church In the morning. And I’ve lost that lovely blue scarf I wear around my head. It’s Hugh’s real ly, but—” Turpentine! A silk scarf! I tried to keep the annoyance out of my tone. “They’ll turn up. Who’d steal turpentine? As for the scarf, may be your brother borrowed it back. Stick a chair under your doorknob. I’ll get that key the first thing to morrow.” I brushed by her. She’d had a good sleep, but now that the effects rH r I “Don’t believe they’ll find him,” Victor Quade said. of her sleeping medicine had worn off, she’d talk all night if I’d let her. ' Tomorrow I’d help Victor Quade. I mustn’t forget to jot down the fact that Thaddeus Q. could manage to get around without his chair. Nor that I’d called to the man we’d heard running near our path and he hadn’t answered. The old house settled down to a stillness like the night before Christ mas. If creatures were stirring, they were mighty quiet -about it. I tried to keep the horrible thing I’d seen at the church out of my mind. The church. Poor place for a tea room or lending library. Victor was right. Tomorrow I’d show him the queer letter. Tell him the whole strange— I vow I wasn’t sound. Like Jack and Jill, Hugh and I had just gone up a hill to fetch a pail of kero sene when the whole hill exploded and I sat straight up in bed. Such a pounding and shouting and running of feet. Then my door flew open and Aunt Nella screamed: “The house is afire!” My little front window was a glare of light. For a second I hugged the bed clothes around me and held my breath. The house must be afire; there were the flames. But I didn’t smell any smoke. I ran to the window, sensing that the Neck side was still dark, so it couldn’t yet be daylight. From the front I saw what looked like a blazing oil well. Was it my little church? My tearoom? Aunt Nella .thought so, too. “All that money,” she hissed, “gone up in smoke!” “But it looks nearer, Auntie.” “So it does. Lucky the wind's the other way.” “It’s the fish shed. Who’d have thought it would . make such a blaze? Oh, that poor old man—I” I grabbed- my shoes and a robe. “An’ him deaf, so’s he couldn't hear the crackle. They’ll never get him out.” Aunt Nella clenched her gnarled hands. “Suppose somebody set it?” We were both remembering Unde Wylie had wandered down-there a few hours ago and that he’d threat ened to burn the fish shed many times. Aunt Nella began to cry. “Poor Wylie. I’d a-been a widow if—if we hadn’t found him on that bench asleep.” If Upcle Wylie had dropped, say, his lighted pipe—and set fire to the old shed and burned up Old Man Brown she might still be a widow. Would they electrocute him or give him life? “Get some clothes on, Auntie.” “I put my shoes on the wrong feet and had to take them off again. My aunt was wrestling with a cher ished old-fashioned woven union suit, seat over her head and arms in the legs. I had to extricate her. Below, doors banged. Cries of fire arose. I could hear Bessie Nor- cross screaming hysterically. Why didn’t the fire whistle from Rock ville blow? Surely someone must have telephoned by now. With sharp horror I realized the wires had been cut. And now, wouldn’t RockviUe mistake it for a night.before-the- Fourth bonfire? I had on my terry cloth bathrobe and raced downstairs. Heads popped out of doors shouting questions, giv ing information. “Call the fire de partment!” “The church is afire!” “No, it’s the castle!” “The whole Head’s ablaze!” It seemed as if the entire house hold had run down to the front hall in utter terror, and not much else, Lily Kendall looked like a bowl of shimmering jelly in her apricot sat in nightgown. “Come on,” I cried. “There’s an old man—stone deaf—in that blaz ing shed. Oh, I hope it’s not too late!” We raced down in a body, appar ently everybody. At a time like that one doesn’t stop to count. But I saw two figures silhouetted against the flames, which turned out to be Victor Quade and the Rev. De Witt. “Can’t we do something?” Hugh Norcross called to them. I hadn’t noticed Hugh before, but down there it was so light I could even see that his robe was green. “Not much. Death to try,” a voice said. “But, good heavens, man! There’s a human being in there. We’ve got to try to get him out!” boomed the minister. “How?” “Bucket brigade, or something.” We all knew the futility, as even De Witt’s voice faltered. “Wouldn’t be any use,” somebody . said. “If he’s still in there he’s past help.” “Doesn’t look like an ordinary fire. Did you ever see anything ■ blaze so? And I thought I beard another explosion.” We were all shouting. I. couldn’t tell who said what, but ail agreed' as to a second muffled explosion, not so loud as the first, just before they’d rushed to see flames. They began searching, calling for Brown. “Don’t believe they’ll find him,” Victor Quade said, drawing me away from the heat. “If he’d dis covered the building on fire in time to get out, he’d have gone straight to the inn for help, wouldn’t he? But let them try.” “I’m going to hunt, too. Down by the church.” Hugh Norcross grabbed my arm. “Young lady, you aren’t going alone. Bessie, and I—” . “Don’t be silly, Hugh. I’m not go ing in. But suppose he staggered out, confused, and went in that di rection. You and Bessie take the route to the castle. Here, Mt. Pot ter, you come along with me.” To my surprise the artist hung back. “I’ll go if another man will go, Quade or somebody. You see, Judy, you don't know it, but from the way that fire bums I can’t help wondering if my turpentine wasn’t poured on it. Someone stole it last night from my room.” And he add ed sententiously: “Must have been while I was up to Rockville. I re member deciding I had plenty and leaving the bottle right there on the table'with my palette and brushes.” I left him to tell Victor about the turpentine. “Turpentine! I’ll bet that shed was full of tar paper and oiled ropes and stuff. Your Uncle Wylie would know. Used ga’soline, too, I’ll bet. No wonder there was an explosion. Judy Jason,” he whispered, “keep with the crowd!” Well, it was terrible. There we stood, a group of able-bodied hu man beings helplessly watching the conflagration bum itself down and knowing another human being was. probably being roasted. When the clergyman came puffing down the path with Aunt Nella’s scrub pail full of water which he gallantly threw on the fire, only ap parently to augment the flames, I began to laugh and cry just like Bessie Norcross. “Lane did this. Roddy Lane. A ■ final gesture. Hoped the inn would \ catch fire. Blew up the bridge and ’ skipped.” Bessie seemed sure of it.. Nobody paid any attention to her. 1 Her sequence of events was slightly .off, but then she’d been under sleep ing medicine when the first explo-l sion had taken place. Hugh was- trying to persuade her to go back to bed. ' t f O BE CONTtNVSDl IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI CHOOLLesson By HAROLD L, LUNDQUIST. D. D.Of Th* BRtody Bible Institute of Cbieago.

Lesson subjects and Serteturo text* selected , and copyrighted by International Council ot Steligious Education; used by permission* PETER AND JOHN WITNESS CHRIST’S GLORY LESSON TRXT-Mark 9:24; U Peter 1:16-18. GOLDEN TEXT—A voice came out ot the cloud, saying, TbIs is my beloved Son: bear him.—Mark 9:7. Christ is God! The one who comes to know that truth is ready to follow Christ, and to make Him known to , others. The want of such a true con ception of the Son of God weakens our convictions and hinders our use fulness. “Where there is no vision, the people perish,” said the wise man (Prov. 29:18). For want of a true vision of Christ as God, and the God- given constraint which makes men give themselves in sacrificial serv ice, the people perish in their sins. Peter and John saw our Lord in His transfiguration, and the glow of that experience lighted their entire life and ministry. The touch of the supernatural was on these men and their message—for they had seen the glory of Christ. I. The Amazing Glory of the Son (Mark 9:2-6). The transfiguration of Christ is one' of those wonderfully beautiful and deeply spiritual experiences which defy analysis or satisfactory de scription. Poetry and art have vain ly tried to depict it only to become- “in fact a confession of the impo tence of the loftiest art to rise to the level of the divine” (Van Dyke). Peterwas so dazzled that he could only suggest .that they remain there, forgetting for the moment that down in the valley was demon-ridden hu manity waiting for the divine deliv erance of the Son of God (see Luke 9:37-42). What took place on the mount can possibly best be explained as the outshining of the inner glory of the Christ. He had laid aside His glory when He became flesh, but not His divine attributes as very God. There in the presence of God and the heav enly visitors that glory shone through His humanity and His ap pearance became dazzling in its whiteness. H. The Approving Word of the Father (Mark 9:7, 8). A cloud, like the cloud which filled the Temple of old (I Kings 8:10,11), covered them, and the Father spoke out of it words of approval of His Son.- - — These words carry . “both judg ment and command; judgment con- ' ceming Jesus, This is my beloved Son,’ and command to the disci ples, ‘Hear ye him’—that is, ‘Listen to him’ ” (Lesson Commentary.) John and Peter came to a fuller Conviction that He was the Son of God as they saw Him transfigured and heard the words of the Father. They learned more plainly the fact that He was God manifest in the flesh for the redemption of man. They saw in the indescribable beauty of that moment a foregleam of His coming giory. What important truths —His deity, His redemption. His !coming kingdom. Have we learned them as we have beheld His glory? HI. The Assured Faith of the Dis- ; ciples (H Pet. 1:16-18). These words were written by Pe ter when he was nearly eighty years ■ of age—about thirty-five years after the transfiguration. John wrote sixty years after the event and said, “We beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father” (John 1:14). The one who follows these eye witnesses in believing in Christ may share their assurance expressed by Peter that we do not “follow cun ningly devised fables” In making known to the world the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith is built on God’s Word, and upon such testimony as this by eye- . witnesses. Here is real ground for assured belief in.Christ. Great experiences of spiritual re newing and power lead to effective life and testimony for Christ. They may not be in outward manifesta tions, In fact they are most often in the inner recesses of man’s soul; but they do transform men and send them forth to magnificent living for God. One wonders if much of the dearth of power in the Christian Church is not to be attributed di rectly to the lack of such experi ences with God. The disciples had an unforgettable mountain-top experience. Even so have many others found the secret of power. It came to D. L. Moody as he walked down a New York street, praying in agony, “Deliver me from myself. Take absolute sway.” The story of what happened to him and through him as a sur rendered instrument in. God’s hand is written large on the pages of history. Others have had similar experiences. Let us remember that such privi leges are not reserved for a few, they are the birthright of every Christian. Powerwithoutknowledge is a dangerous and destructive thing, but knowledge without power is a dead tiling, resulting in a stale and unfruitful orthodoxy that in turn produces a dreadful and unchristian. ’ religious system.

No secret police can in the night whisk us away, never again to be seen by those we love. None of us can be deprived by any party, state or tyrant of those pre cious civil liberties which our Iawa and our courts guarantee. None of us can be persecuted for practicing the faith which we found at our mother’s knee.

Our boys are dying to pre serve them for us. Then we can do no less than to “say yes” and fill those war stamp albums.

He is the OPA’s boss of food rationing, and his prom ise that national control will cramp hoarders and end local shortages makes a pin-up poster that John Cit izen wouldn’t swap for Hollywood’s loveliest. Bowe was born on one of those deep black Iowa farms where any man can learn a lot about food because it is so abundant. ■ He needed the big University of Minnesota to finish bis education although be studied first at Iowa State. At Minnesota he moved a step along toward his present eminence as a food expert. He learned to cook. He hired out as a waiter to get the meals he couldn’t afford to buy, but when he dropped a tray of glasses the lords of the University cafeteria figured he would do less damage in the kitchen. If he dropped a roast it could be brushed off, and they hoped he’d hang onto pies. After Minnesota he taught for six years at Massachusetts State col lege. He has been with the govern ment since 1941. He lives in Ken wood, Md., with his wife, son and daughter, Verna, Marvin and Shir ley Ann. He has a round mild face and an easy manner that ought to keep him from looking old for quite a spell. He is in his middle thirties. — * — 'T'WO brothers of Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, were killed in the last World war and he fought all through it, coming'clear Eden, Hitler Had g hs t*b Chance in '17 to the Military FiniahEachOther Cross Today his two sons, like your sons and the sons of every body else, are in increasing jeopardy with pvery month that this second World war hangs on. These are reasons why Eden, on his visit in Washington, went to work- like a nailer to smooth over aggravations among the United Nations and to stave off the third World war that some people say is shaping up even now. A tew years back Sir Austin Chamberlain, brother of Mu nich’s Neville, called Mr. Eden a first-class second-rater. The Chamberlains are gone now and the second-rater is the No. 2 man of Britain. Only Churchill stands above him. Eden got into politics as soon as be finished at Oxford after the war. He was old Stanley Baldwin’s white-haired boy. He has been in the house of com mons since 1923, but his real start dates from the time he was named secretary to the sec retary of state for foreign af fairs. He zoomed after that and now is himself the secretary for foreign affairs. This is his sec ond turn at the job. He is still only 46 years old, tall, broad-shouldered and usually the best-dressed man at the party. Ad mirers say he takes after his moth er, a famous beauty. /H is family runs a long way back. Robert de Eden started it in 1413 and Hitler might have ended it. Eden and Adolf, talking one day, discovered that their outfits had shot at. each other around Ypres in 1917. * — ONE of tallest generals in any army helps the Americans push against Rommel’s men on the side opposite from where Leclerc fights.

Hughes has ccssed at red tape all his army life and it is his odd luck to be made Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s deputy commander in charge of train- , ing, supply, hospitalization and personnel, all bonnd round with red tape. In the battle zone Uie loss of any military property can be blamed on a lone enemy shell; a little one will do. In the supply area everything must be signed for, and If the papers aren’t kept there is weeping all the way back to Washington. General Hughes came , into the army from South Dakota. He left West Point in 1908, rated his class! most efficient cadet. The artillery got him first and he served in it down in Mexico 'and then down in the Philippines. In the first World war he was decorat ed for meritorious service, but he landed in the service of supply and so trained for his present post. For a-while he was the golf cham pion of the United States-army, and he finds great pleasure in hunting. Traveling is also one of his fa vorite pastimes. While on leave in Europe, he retraced Napoleon’s campaigns. With his men he seems stiff, but he is actually more shy than hard.

T HE little town of Brawley, Calif., woke up one morn ing recently to find a motor ized b attalion of G erm an troops, armed to the teeth, lin ing the streets. As the Mexi can border’s only 25 m iles away, the townsfolk were a bit jittery. Then they took an other look at the “invaders” and recognized them as Brawley high school boys, drafted by Columbia Pictures to represent a unit of the Nazi Afrika Korps in the picture “Somewhere in Sahara.” Humphrey Bogart’s starred in it. Janice Gilbert, who’s twenty, has been acting since she was eight, has been on the radio since she was ten. On “The O’Neills” she plays “Janice O’Neill” and also an infant JANICE GILBERT and four children. But her most famous juvenile role is “Little Or phan Annie”—when she tours army camps, Nitertaining the boys, she gets vociferous requests for a ses sion with “Annie.” — * — -The night Ann Ayars, Metro, star let, sang for the boys at Port'Mac- Arthur, Calif., she got a rousing reception, but. could have dispensed with piart of it. Arriving in a pour ing rain, she was escorted to the hall by a new recruit who led her smack into a deep puddle at the stage door. Ann fell in to her hips. She says that most of what the soldiers saw of her was mud! — * — Any HoDywood personage who dis covers Lnpe VeIei watching him In tently is IUtely to be uneasy; experi ence shows that Lnpe’s just gather ing material for a devastatingly fun ny impersonation of him. Her imi tations seldom reach the screen, but in “Bedhead from Manhattan” she does several imitations of fellow stars. She plays identical cousins, both of whom are revue stars. Lionel Barrymore was in a dan gerous spot a while back, and it wasn’t one of those things that are part of a scenario, when the actor knows he’ll be rescued. Driving home, he miscalculated the depth of flood water near 'his ranch, and found himself sitting in his stalled car in water up to his neck. The swift current started moving the car toward deeper water. But neigh boring farmers came along with chains and hauled the car back onto the highway. The car was ruined, but the famous Barrymore wasn’t damaged. — * — When Robert Ryan joined the army he knew that he’d have a job when he came back; he has a con tract with RKO that assures his re turn to the screen at the war’s end, at a salary exceeding the one he was getting when he left. His work in “Bombardier” and “The Sky’s the Limit” was responsible for the scrapping of the old contract and the writing of the more favorable new one. Bob Hope’s set for another of those cross-country tours of army, navy and marine posts and bases, which is good news for the men who’ll benefit; he gives them a swell show. In feet, he probably works, harder at entertaining servicemen than at anything else. . — * — Jack Miller, orchestra director for Kate Smith and “Tbe Aldrich Fam ily,” can drop off to sleep any time. He dozed off in the studio before a recent “Aldrich Family” broadcast, so the cast slipped out and sent a page in to wake him and explain that the program was over and all visitors must leave.

By CHERIE NICHOLAS A CCORDING to the signs, the — Easter fashion parade will be made up for the most part of ever so goodlooking, softly styled tailored suits. Let no one think, however, that spring, 1943, will stage a scene of regimented uniformity, for the neyi-this-season suits and suit dresses are not only amazingly ver satile and interest-holding in the matter of fabric and styling as well as gay color, but with cunning strat egy designers are providing, with in terchangeable accessories, an ever varying role for the simple suit and the classic basic dress as well. The beauty of a suit is that it makes the perfect background for most exciting versatile blouses, hats, gloves and bags, together with all sorts of equally thrilling gadgets and furbelows. That is exactly the spirit motivating throughout the fashion program during this war time period—making one simple suit or dress play the role of many aid ed and abetted by a wardrobe of interchangeable accessories. Typical of the prettily feminine, as emphasized throughout fashion’s program of Easter apparel, is the charming suit-frock shown to the left in the accompanying illustration. It is made of a supple light gray rayon flat crepe. Welcome the news of gray. A veritable orgy of delecta ble grays is stampeding the fashion picture for spring, and there is no better fabric buy from the stand point of wearableness than a gray, rayon crepe such as used for this most attractive Easter outfit, which is so definitely springlike in its moed. The blouse top has a newsy story of its own to tell in regard to the gay applique that enhances it. This fruit motif is a print cutout, the idea being new this season in the blouse realm. You will find these fruit and flower appliques repeated again and again on chalk white crepe blouses. Soft front draping in the skirt and softly fitted lines in the hip-length jacket are important fash ion points. You will find that this two-piece in light gray takes kind ly, also, to a fine rayon crepe blouse of ruffly lingerie type.’ Looks fresh and immaculate, also, with a white chapeau together with white gloves. The versatility of materials that enter into their fashioning adds to the interest of this season’s suits. Much ado is being made about the handsome suits of richly colorful paisley prints like that used for the model centered in the group illus- rated above. This multi-colored suit relays big news not only in a fabric way but’ in the fact that its hemlines and loose sleeves are all edged with narrow black lace. The use of black lace edgings in most unexpected ways is a highlight fashion note that heralds a new outlook. In the new er collections you will be seeing stun ning frocks and suits of plaid or check taffeta that are edged with tiny black lacy frills, and dainty pastel spun rayon or crepe after noon dresses that are finished off with black lace. Very new is the white crepe blouse detailed with the tiny black edging, and widely ex ploited for spring is the all black sheer blouse that is’ lace trimmed. In the classic suit tailored of bold black and white hunter’s check shown to the right you see one of the most notable fashion successes of the season. This goodlooking suit is being shown In one of Chicago’s leading State street stores as emi nently smart and style-correct for Easter wear. When combined with an ultra-feminine frilly blouse it is charming. It is the type of suit that lends itself to any number of accessory changes. It is ladylike with lacy frills and it is swagger style worn with a hat, glove and scarf ensemble in bright red or the smart violet tones. Released by Western Newspaper Union.' Sensible and Chic To invest in a slacks and coat two some of hollow-cut velveteen of this type is money well spent, for there are so many needs for an outfit just like this. For lotmging about, the tailored slacks are flattering, neat and practical. Toss on a coat of the same aristocratic cotton when you go for a stroll. This loose boxy coat is style right for general wear over suits and dresses as well as with slacks. It has a swing back, is col- larless and is finished off with swashbuckling cuffs.

A SERIES OF 'SPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING War corresponi America Spreads Her Wings By Robert McCormick (W NU Feature—TArcugh special arrangement with Collier's Weekly) Bi less than 12 months our army air force has grown from nothing into one of the mightiest fighting outfits the world has ever seen, with bases speckled Over the globe like pepper on a fried egg. Every line of it was "designed around a cen tral idea that it must have a posi tive part in destroying enemy re sistance. It was patterned for bombing the heart out of the enemy, for subduing enemy aircraft, and for attacking enemy ground and sea forces. These things it would do, not in any one battle or one spot, but in all American battles wherever they might come. The production of airplanes more than doubled, got up to better than 5,000 a month. The types of com bat planes being manufactured were cut to less than a dozen, but each of these had a-specialized purpose. Many got their first battle tests in the last 12 months. Level Off a Glacier. These ships appeared at bases in the Caribbean, in Alaska, in Brit ain, at points all through the Pacific and Africa and the Middle East and India and China. A glacier was leveled off to make an airport in the- Far North. An American engineer dropped by parachute into the mid dle of the Sahara, armed with a pocketful of money, rounded up na tive labor and built an airfield. M easure D istance by Honrs. Between these isolated spots, grew up an AAF air-transport system that became bigger than all the prewar commercial airlines of the world put together. The air transport com mand became larger than the en tire air corps was before the war, and it flew more miles than all the world’s airlines before the war. It stopped m easuring dis tances in m iles. India becam e 70 hours aw ay, instead of 14,000 air . m iles; England becam e 10 hours aw ay, instead of 3,300 m iles; A frica 40 hours, instead of 3,900 m iles. Lieutenant General "Hap” Arnold, chief of the AAF, flew back from Australia in 35 hours, compared with the conventional ship-sailing time of 33 days. The air- transport com mand shuttled great people around like suburban commuters. Mrs. Roosevelt flew to London and back, Madame Chiang Kai-shek flew here from China, Harry Hopkins flew hither and thither with loose-jointed freedom, the Harriman mission flew to Russia and back, Wendell Willkie moved all over the. globe. Climax Comes Witb Casablanca. The climax came wlien the Pres ident himself—who hadn’t flown on a domestic airline since he took of fice-broke all the rules by letting the armjrfly him to Casablanca to confer with Churchill. It wasn’t simply a matter of picking the Pres ident up and putting him down. The Secret Service had to go first, high- ranking army and navy officers had to be taken along, and extraordinary protection had to be given each one. When Mr. Roosevelt did do away with precedent, he did it in a big way, knocking off-15,488 miles In the air.

New training schools turned put quantities of at-home pilots, navi gators, bombardiers, gunners, ground crews, mechanics, radiomen and all the other specialized per sonnel necessary to such a gigantic business. Wright Field erected a building big enough to test 40-foot propellers; aircraft engines of more than 2,000 horsepower appeared; swanky hotels were taken over at Mianoi Beach, Atlantic City and Chi* cago to house AAF cadets in train ing; stretches of desolate land in all parts of the country were set aside as bombing ranges; emergency landing strips appeared along Amer ican highways. American parachute troops were flown nonstop 1,500 miles from Eng land to Africa; troop-carrying glid ers were developed; General Kenney moved enough supplies and troops into New Guinea to enable -the American forces to start a hammer ing offensive at the Japs—and al most all of both men and material went air. AAF officers took over control of large sections of the entire army. Lieut. Gen. Frank Andrews headed up the European theater of opera tions; Lieut. Gen.

A squirt of orange juice and a sip of coffee or fruit, cereal, eggs, toast and coffee? No need to tell you which one you can start a man-sized day’s work on, is there? A break fast should supply almost a third of the day’s calories and food value. A slight breakfast will prevent you from waking up fully—and thus starting to realize your full quota of production whether you’re on the home or factory front. But, treat the first meal of the day with the same respect you do the other two, and ydh find yourself refreshed and more than ready to do your job— and do it well. If you’re still in doubt about the value of a good breakfast, look at breakfasts'fed servicemen. Do you think they could get up and do their work if it weren’t for fruit, cere als, eggs, toast or hotbread and beverage for their first fare of the day? No, ma’am. Breakfast affords a grand chance for you to get your vitamin BI— that important morale vitamin which prevents nervousness and restlessness. You need this vitamin every day—and its best sources are whole grain'cereal and bread—and yeast.On warmer days, serve oatmeal or whole wheat cereal, on cooler days, use the enriched, ready-to-eat cereals which are unrationed. When the berries and fruits start coming in, use a few of them with the cere als for a delightful breakfast dish. Breakfast is a good way to take care of the citrus fruit requirement of the day, too. A half grapefruit, a large orange or a large glass of or ange juice will fulfill the vitamin C quota of the day. Remember, however, that vi tamin C is easily destroyed by air, and that means you should not squeeze or cut up oranges until just before serving. •Old-Fashioned Popovers. 3 eggs IH cups m ilk 114 cups enriched flour Vs teaspoon salt Sift flour and salt into a bowl.

Note: No leavening agent is used in popovers, and their rising action is dependent upon thor ough, beating. Lynn Says: Atake Battening Work: Keep food essentials in mind when planning your: menus, and use point-rationed food to best advan tage. When you spend any of your coupons for rationed food, make sure you- are not buying anything that you could buy fresh. In buying meats -buy those: of. which you get the most for your points. Extoid whatever" cuts of m eat you can with cereals,; stuffings, food extenders and vegetables to make them go fur ther. Start toddy to save sugar and put it in a bank so that you will have enough for the canning you are, going to do this summer. Do not use sugar anywhere that1 you possibly can avoid it. Start' planning your victory garden, so that you will be ready to Jiut up as m uch of your share in' fruits, and vegetables. * Buy quality foods to get .the most value of your points. This applies to canned and processed foods, meat, cheese and butter.

Later, Victor Quade tells Judy that he found a golf club near tbe chest.Now continue with Judy’s story. CHAPTER TI Toward dawn the shed was just a sputtering heap of cinders. And what would they find? What would they find! We were all running around try ing to help. I’d encountered, as I remembered afterward, everybody except Uncle Wylie, still sleeping it off in his room, and, of course, Thaddeus Quincy, wrapped in a blanket, watching the fire from his chair. He’d managed to wheel himself onto the porch. But none of us had found a trace of Old Man Brown until my foot slipped. Ugh! I can feel it now—like a bony snake. It threw me off bal ance so that I barged into the Rev erend’s stomach, and he let out a word which any editor would most certainly delete. I picked up the thing which had tripped me to dis cover it was a large, old-fashioned ear trumpet—the kind you used to see years ago, in plays, when a deaf person would hold one up to your nose and shout “Hey?” Well, poor old Mr. Brown would never again use this one. I took it at once to Victor. "Add to unsolved mystery: One trumpet, saved by person who couldn’t save himself. Threw it out of the window, didn’t he, maybe?” “Maybe. You say this Brown was stone deaf? Very interesting. Very.” “Well, one thing’s sure. It proves he’s dead. Otherwise he'd be cling ing to it.” "Oh, yes! Never talked in it my self, but my husband has,” said Aunt Nella. “Mrs. Gerry, what time does your milkman arrive? Any earlier holi days?” “Later. But we’ve enough cream saved for breakfast. Around noon. The Head’s the last place he calls.” Victor sighed. “Hear that, folks? Doesn’t that beat the dickens? We’ve had an explosion nobody heard at the bridge. Nobody from Rockville, I mean. Another, fol lowed by a fire nobody saw. Now we’ve got to wait till 12 o’clock be fore the milkman can get here.” “We could meet him,” Potter sug gested. “We’ll appoint a committee,” boomed De Witt. “Well, there’s certainly nothing more to do here. The trees are safe. The fire’s over. Why don’t we go back and get dressed and have some toast and coffee, if Mrs. Gerry can manage it? Perhaps some of you ladies—” "Of course, we will,” my aunt and Lily both cried. “Me, too,” added Bessie Norcross. "Come along, Hugh.” I waited for Victor, who told me to go with the others. He’d be along pretty soon. He was leaning over the hot embers, searching with the flashlight I’d given him. Victor Quade called me back. “Judy”—even he was calling me by my first name now, common danger having bred familiarity. I loved it— “does your Uncle Wylie smoke a pipe?” Did Uncle Wylie smoke a pipe! Why, one never saw him without it —a smudged little old briar that smelled to heaven. “Yes; why?” “Keep it under your hat. Take a squint at this.” I took a squint in the faint morn ing light. Looked like my uncle’s pipe, all right. “But, good land, Mr. Quade, that was hours ago—if he dropped it.” "Exactly. Maybe he didn’t drop it. If I’d found it written in one of my books I’d say it was a plant.” “In one of your books? But I thought you were just beginning to write. You said—” "Come along, Judy. We might as well have coffee, too.” He smiled down at me rather grimly, I thought. “Don’t give me away, will you? Quade is my real name. If I told you my pen name you’d see me mobbed with pink teas and auto graph hounds. I needed a rest—to get away from all that. No one ever heard of Victor Quade. I may have to tell them myself. That Quin cy fellow suspects me.” I couldn’t speak. One second I puffed with pride to be in the confi dence of an author famous enough to be mobbed; the next, my hopes fell. I mustn’t let myself like him. He’d never give me a thought. Prob ably he was married anyway. As tonishingly, I heard myself say, “Lucky you didn't bring Mrs. Quade.” "Mother? She’d never ride with a trailer. Or did you mean—? Why, you artful little devil. Just like that! And I’ve spent years wonder ing how to do that little thing on my typewriter. Judy Jason, you’re going to be a great help to me.” I felt all happy again. Nothing pleases a woman so much as to be told she’s a help. I ran on ahead to help Aunt Nella. She was the quickest thing you ever saw in her kitchen. Already coffee was percolating. Lily Kendall was turning toast. She’d poured too much cream into the cups. I halved it from cup to cup and set her to getting plates and spoons. Such a hubbub in that dining room! Auntie and I decided we might as well boil eggs, too, anil let them fix their own oranges. If we didn’t we’d just have to give them a regular breakfast in an hour. Mur der and explosions and fires can work up awful appetites. The Rev. Mr. De Witt consumed five three- minute eggs!"Give ’em all they want,” Aunt Nella said. "They’ll be leavin’ soon.” Auntie hadn’t stopped to change her clothes. She looked like the Witch of Endor. I told her she’d better fly, because when the police came all our pictures might get into the Rockville Gazette. She just sat at the kitchen table, weeping into her coffee. If Wylie’s pipe' had set the fire she didn’t care what happened, she said. It wasn’t in his pocket when she undressed him. I hadn’t mentioned the finding of that pipe. But it wasn’t on the kitchen shelf where he always put it at night, just before going to bed. Though it made more work for me, I was glad our high schooler had gone home right after doing the dishes last night. At least she was out of this mess. I carried in Mr. Quincy’s cereal, soaked with hot milk, as he liked it.«_—killed Roddy Lane, burned his house and jumped into the sea,” Hugh Norcross was saying. “You’ve got it twisted, my boy,” boomed the minister. “Roddy killed U Bessie Norcross stood clinging to the porch rail. Brown, more likely. The fire was his funeral pyre. Then Lane dis appeared from the Head.” Lily tittered, twiddling a string of pearls. "How, please? I didn’t hear no airplane.” Thaddeus Quincy thumped his cane. “Listen, folks. This is a lot of fun, I know, conjecturing about murders. But you’re all wrong. The whole business is a series of odd coincidences. Very odd. First, Judy has the jitters and imagines she sees something. Well, we proved there was nothing there, didn’t we? Then the bridge broke down at the same time a car backfired, and.we assumed it was blown up. I’ll wager the police won’t think so. Next that fish shed bums. Spontaneous com bustion, probably. Place wasn’t fit to live in anyway. Just a shack full of tar paper and oily ropes and old tarpaulin. A wonder anyone would sleep in the. dump,' but someone did. Judy and I saw the light through the one window. Couldn’t see in. Too dirty and cobwebby. Had a paper curtain over it, too, didn’t it, Judy? I just remember slits of light.1’ I nodded and he con tinued, "Old man may have been smoking, . But it was an accident, pure'and simple. Lane didn’t kill anybody. He’s a mean skunk, but he’s far away by now. As to how, Miss Kendall,, he came in a car .and left the same way.” Victor Quade stood up and Mr. Quincy stopped abruptly. “You’re wrong, too, unfortunately,” Victor said quietly. "Lane’s car is still in the castle garage. It’s now,” he glanced at his watch, “not quite 5. Mrs. Gerry says the Head is the last place on the trade people’s route. Milk not until noon. Being a holi day, there’ll be no mail: Market man tomorrow. You can see we have quite a little time before the first person along that empty stretch of road you call the Neck discov ers the broken' bridge and sum mons aid. Funny Rockvdie 'didn't see the fire, but remember the fog was mighty dense and we project nearly five miles out to sea. Take it for a bonfire to honor the Fourth if they chanced to see it.”“So what?” Bessie interrupted. “Just this, my friends. Your Rod dy Lane did not leave the Head. His car is still in the garage. Saw it last night when we searched. I had the flashlight. It’s my belief Judy was right, but now it’s daylight and I propose further search. “Mr. De Witt and Mr. Potter, you take another look in the garage. See if you can get into the Lane castle. Break a window if neces sary. Here are the keys to my trailer. Scout around. But espe cially scan the rocks.” Bessie began to cry, and Hugh said resentfully: “I think you might consider the ladies. My sister—” “Of course. You girls help Mrs. Gerry. Poor woman, she needs It.” Bessie left the room, but Lily and I sat tight, while Victor continued his directions. Lily begged to be al lowed to join the hunt.“All right, Miss Kendall, you and Mr. Hugh What’s-your-name, take the church end and the woods. Scour the shore. Yours is the quieter side toward the cove. You might find something. Anyway, if Brown or Lane is m those woods, come quietly back. The Head is so tiny you all obght to search it in no time. But don’t touch anything you may find. I wouldn’t go into the church base ment again till the police come.” ' Mr. Quincy folded his . hands, his lips working pitifully. I could have squeezed Victor when he said, “Quincy and I will look at the fire ruins.” And he seized the invalid’s chair, while I ran to hold open the door. I didn’t like to be left behind, but they’d virtually dismissed me, so I had no choice. Anyway, they’d soon be back. I fixed a tray for Uncle Wylie, which Aunt Nella took up. Bessie wiped and I washed the dishes. Every other minute one of us would race to the door, and as soon as we were through I ran down to where the other men were gradu ally collecting around the ruins of the fish shed. Bessie Norcross stood clinging to the. porch rail. She wouldn’t budge till her brother came for her, she said. And of course my aunt and uncle were in their room at the time. “Don’t come any closer,” Victor cautioned. "Don’t touch a thing.” "Glory be—they’ve found some thing. Ain’t it excitin’?” Lily burst her pearls down poor Mr. Q.’s neck as he leaned forward, pointing with his cane. "See it? That, girls and boys,” Thaddeus shouted, "is the corpus delicti, without which there can be no murder. Now all we need is to find out if it’s Brown or Lane.” "Or both of them,” Potter said, shuddering. “You girls go back,” Victor said, taking the shawl Mr. Q. handed him from his shoulders and covering the charred torso lying in the midst of .ashes and debris. I won’t describe it here; it’s too horrible. I’d never before seen a body burned and blackened beyond recognition. What little there was left might have been anybody. Could experts tell wheth er the remains were of an old man or a middle-aged? I wondered. "Of course it was Old Man Brown,” Mr. Q. said, "or we’d have found Lane’s diamond ring. Dia monds will burn under pressure, be ing allotropic forms of carbon, but not in a fire like this. Well, there wasn’t any ring we could find, was there, Quade?” “No, only don’t tell the police we poked.” “That leaves us just where w«. were before,” Lily Kendall said. "Mr. Norcross and I didn’t see any body in the woods.” Hugh agreed, “That’s right. Lane skipped, and this was an accident. How do you know Lane didn’t walk to town?” “Bless you, I don’t. He may have," Victor agreed. "But is it log ical to suppose he did—a man with a car?” “And the car’s still over there,” the minister thundered. “Strange. Passing strange.” “There wasn’t a thing wrong with the trailer,” Albion Potter added, “Did you go into the castle?” “No, we didn’t,” De Witt said. "Breaking and entering—I thought we’d better wait for the police. But Potter here shinnied up on to a bal cony and saw that one room had been used all right. Suitcase on the bed wasn’t there, Potter, and clothes strewn about?” Albion nodded. "Couldn’t see much, but the bed didn’t look as if it had been, slept in.” "A man’s clothes? You—you coudn't be sure they, were Lane’s?” "How could I? But a man’s, all right. Helter - skelter, pajamas, shirts, tumbled out of an open suit case.” “It’s beginning to make sense, Victor Quade said. "How about it, you people? We can do a lot tc clear up this business for the police, and the more we find out the more we’ll be saved afterward. What dc you say we take a good look at the bridge first, post a sentry in case anybody should happen along the Neck bright and early, and then have a general co-operative get-to gether and clear up what we can?"

PETER AND JOHN IN GETHSEMiUfE LESSON TEXT—Matthew 26:3646; JohP 18:10-12.GOLDEN TEXT—Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. Matthew 26:41. The morning of that great day when atonement was made for the sins of all the world was nearly at hand. In the darkness of the night, following the institution of the Lord’s Supper, and the words and prayer ol our Lord (John 15-17), He and His' disciples came to the Garden of Gethsemane. Taking three of His disciples He went deeper into the shadows to pour out before the Fa ther His soul, “exceeding sorrowful even unto death.” It is a sacred scene, and we feel a sense of awe and reverence as we approach it, feeling that we too would prefer to tarry outside the garden, did we not feel that we should try to understand a little bet ter what took place that night. We are especially concerned with Peter and John, who with James shared our Lord’s sorrow up to a point, and then so sadly failed Him. We note that they had a I. High Privilege (Matt. 26:36-38). To be asked by Christ to stand by in this crucial hour was to be en trusted with one of the greatest privileges a man could ever know. As there swept over His holy sohl a great tidal wave of sorrow unto death, He wanted and needed their fellowship. As Dr. Maclaren puts dt, He “grazed the very edge” of hu man endurance. “Out of the dark ness He reaches a hand to feel die grasp of a friend, and piteously asks these humble lovers to stay beside Him; not that they could help Him bear the weight, blit that their pres ence had some solace in it. His ag ony . . . they could not bear with Him, but they could watch with Him, and that poor comfort is all He asked.” Undoubtedly they intended to do it. Jesus bore witness that their spirit was willing (v. 41), but in spite of that, and all the boasting of Pe ter at the table that he would never desert Him, they failed Him in His hour of need. It was H. Sad Weakness (w . 39-46). Our Lord’s prayer showed great faith in God the Father, the terrific recoil of His soul against being blackened with the burden of sin, and a complete surrender to the Fa ther’s will. H erew astruedenialof self and submission to God, but it was nonetheless an appalling expe rience for our sinless Lord. So He went back for fellowship with His three trusted friends—and they were asleep. Jesus recognized that the weakness of the flesh caused them to for get and slumber. We may-profit by a little closer scrutiny of the scene. Was it just a physical tiredness? That doubtless entered in, but was not Jesus even more tired than they could possibly be? Was it not rather the weakness of indifference? They did not yet fully believe that their Lord was about to die. That was why they were quickly scattered in unbelief when He did die. This mat ter was not so serious in their sight, so it was not-difficult to yield to the tired body and the deep, quiet dark ness, and fall asleep. We are in much the same posi tion. Danger—grave, spiritual dan ger—threatens our souls, our fami- Ues, our nation. We who call our selves Christians have declared our readiness, to stay awake, and alert. But we hav become at home in this world, the enemy soothes us with the assurance that all is well, time goes on and nothing too seri ous happens. So, we go to sleep right in the midst of danger, and sleep on even though the Master awakens us again and again. But now the scene changes. The mob has come to take Christ, and then the sleepy Peter, now much awake, indulges in III. Foolish Courage (John 18:10- 12).The act of Peter was courageous, even < to the point of recklessness. What chance had he against a great armed multitude? It was the natural impulse of a loving heart, Ifiit it was misguided and foolish. What did he think to accomplish— to deliver -Jesus from those who would crucify Him? That would have meant no death on the cross and no redemption. The hour for the offer ing up of the Son of Man as Saviour had come. Peter might have learned that with our Lord in the garden, but then he was asleep. Christ who had hitherto walked' right1 through the crowd of enemies' (Luke 4:30), now submitted. In the dark hours of the night He had been prepared to drink this bitter cup (v. 11). We need to learn from this expe rience of Peter's lest we make the same mistake. There are all too many in the Chiurch who are asleep as far as its spiritual struggles and opportunities are concerned,- who are eager to wield a reckless sword in outward conflict. In their folly and ignorance they do more harm than good, and yet they think they are working for Christ.. P A T T E R N S .

YOU CANT QUIT ADVERTISING YOU’RE TALKING TO A PARADE " NOT A MASS MEETING What I myself saw In my four years in Europe gave me a new realization of the priceless rights which we here enjoy. No secret police can in the night whisk us away, never again to be seen by those we love. None of us can be deprived by any party, state or tyrant of those pre cious civil liberties which our Iawi and our courts guarantee. None of us can be persecuted for ’ practicing the faith which we found at our mother’* knee.' None of us can be persecuted, tor tured or killed because of the fact that an accident of fate might have made us of the same race a* the Nazarene. No American can be placed by any party or government in a regi mented vise which takes from him or her either freedom of economic opportunity or political religious lib erty. What would the millions of unfor tunate men, women and children in Europe give to be able to live and enjoy such a way of IifaT Well, in this war, those are the tilings in our Uves which are in jeopardy. Our boys are dying to pre serve them for us. Then we can do no less than to “say yes" and fill those war stamp albums. It is our duty and privilege to help-the secretary of the treasury, Mt. Morgenthau, in his magnificent effort to do the tremendous job of getting the money to keep our boys supplied with the weapons with which to fight our fight.

Though you think it’s mighty fun ny As he rolls you pleasure’s ball— Gives you beer and wine and liqnor And the movies filled with lust. Making manhood’s light to flicker As your spirit trails the dust. When the devil gives you roses, Don’t forget;the pricklyn thorn; For where sin and wrong reposes Sighs and heartaches will be born; Yes, within the sweets of evil There are always bitter pills, And like some destructive weevil They will bring you hiany ills. As you go the way of pleasure Offered by the devil’s hand, Though yon think you’ve found the treasure That’s the sweetest of the land, Jnst remember sin’s misleading; It will always bring remorse; Then while God and right are pleading, Seize what conscience can endorse When the devil gives you honey You may know it is a bait That will take yon from the sunny To the dark domains of fate; Then resist the dreadful tempter Who would take you down to hell; Flee to Christ, the great Exempter That in heaven you may dwell. Let Us Pray fBy Rev. Loy 0. Thompson) Ont of Northern Africa comes this message to a devoted mother from a son in the armed forces: "I have my days, today (today has been one), when I get so blue that I do not kuow what to do. Then I go ont under the stars and have a littie talk with Him.” We can imagine what comfort, serenity, and peace came to the young man as be stood under the stars. "The heavens declare the Glory of God and the firmament showeth forth his handiwork.” No matter what science may _ say we are the crea tures of two worlds. Jnst now we have become so food conscious and so gasoline conscious and so so shoe conscious and so war conscious that we are,in danger of forgetting our skyward bent. When the world becomes too much for us and things are in the saddle it behooves' ns to get out under the stars and have a little talk with Him. He can com fort our lonely hearts qud dear up our doubts and stimulate our cour age. .Sabatier, the French thinker, asks the question: "Why am I re ligious?” He supplies his own an swer, "Because I cannot help it; it is a moral necessity of my being.” That is why we pray It is a mor al necessity of our being There is within us an inborn tendency that causes us to look toward the stars. When we look toward the stars we should be assured that be hind that starry world there is a great Companion who is listening to our talk. We should pause long enongb in his presence before mak ing our supplications to make sure that we have an audience with him, that we are real'y In touch with him. How this would help our prayers! Men in Africa, men in Asia, men in Europe men in A. merica pray on; talk to him a little and be will not fail any of us. I fancy that more men and women are now talking to God than ever before. We need moral recovery, we qeed spiritual transformation, we need the blessed assurance that he is beyond the stars and within our beartf, Earnest prayer will aid in this matter. Therefore let us pray and keep on praying. Farm ers And W orkers Loyal There are ,rnmors that the farm, ers of the nation might not pro duce enough food for the needs of the United States,, much less the nations that we ere supplying with foodstuffs. This would be unfortunate. If our farmers do not provide Ihe food that our farmers do not provide the food tbat the Allied nations require to win victory they will soon dis cover that it is easier to raise crops under a democratic regime than under an Axis army of occupation. The same observation goes for some laborers In the United States. If the workers of this country do not produce the guns, planes, ships and tanks that we need for victory they will find out the difference be. tween working for a benevolent government instead of providing forced loborforan Axis auctocracy. We point ont these obvious facts but we are convinced that the farm ers and laborers of the United Stat es have too much sense to fall down on the tremendous job that comes to them in our fight for freedom. While there may be hot-headed farmers and loud mouthed labor leaders, the rank and file of agri. culture and labor is solidly behind the democratic war effort and can be counted upon to deliver the stuff needed to carry ns to victory. Editor G ets Them Told For reasons best known to my enemies a report has gone ont over this county that I, J. N. Blackburn am a Democrat. Some of the best friends I have are Democrats and are high dan gentlemen. However, this connty being so strongly Republican, I feel that whoever started a lie of this kin I thought it would stunt my busi ness growth. I have, and always expect to be, a Republican, as have been all my fore-fathers, and I don’t believe any real Republican ever lived who did not want the good will of all. If you good citizens will atop to think, you can very easily figure out why this lie was started. This same sort of foolishness has coat mr city a sewage system, a conrthonse, jail and many other val uable things we could have had. Wby should we cut our nose to spite our face? — Johnson Countv News. Jo st A V ote-Cafcher Here is ao example of Congress, tonal nothingness: The House has unanimously ap proved a Senate resolution, which no doubt went through the upper chember with a roar, condemning Nezi outrages against the civilian papulation of occupied countries and expressing the view that those guilty of causing th e outrages should be punished.” This resolution has no meaning except so far as it may comfort the kindred of the victimized peoples and secure for Congressmen, some good will. In its effect upon those guilty of committing the outrages it is an absolute zero. It Congress wants to emplement it resolution and. do somtbing for the innocent victims of Hitlerismi let pass a resolution pledging the United States to cooperate with the democratic nations of tfae earth, in the future, in order that similar out. rages will not occur. Let Congress teU the guilty Sg. gressors that it is ready to support a world force to keep the peace and to punish those who willfully as sault innocent, peace-loving peoples. Let it say, directly, that it favors the use of American forces, if nec essary, to maintain civilization! whenever and wherever assailed.— Ex. ______________ T h e R ecord is’ o n ly $1.00 H as Anyone Died Eloped Divorced Embezzled Left town Had a fire Had a baby Had a partv Sold a farm Been arrested Come to town Had twins or colic Sold a cow or lost an auto Laid In a stock 1 f whisky Stolen a dog or his friends’s wife Committed suicide, or murder Fallen from an airplane or Fallen into a coal hole or Fallen into a legacy? THAT’S NEWS! Phone or mail it to the CITY EDITOR. Selectees Names ShonIdiSeen Along M ain Street Be P rinted Says N ew spapers Dead H. G. Wells, the British anthor and torcaster of the future, says; that "the newspaper is as dead as mutton” and "it will never come back.” This is an interesting assertion which newspaper men, as well as the readers of newspapers, might ponder. Brother ^Wells iorses an area of pamphlets tbat will "ven tilate ideas” as he asserts news papers have failed to do. The historian thinks that it will be probable, in tbe future, to se cure news by turning a dial on tbe radio and then listening to a sum mary 0/ wbat has been happening in the last two or tbree hours.” \ He considers this a more rea sonable way of getting the news than "our despairing attempts of buying three or four newspayers to find out what is being conceled from us. Apparently, the author has an idea that news will broadcast itself Whether one prefers to listen to a chronicle of events on the air or read them in the columns of a news paper the ominous shadow of the editor is ever present. Certainly it would take a consi derable part of the day to listen to interminable broadcost and select the major items of iterest upon which onr attention is directed. Newspaper have their faults, as we well understand, but nowhere else is there available, for such a comparatively cheap expenditnre of time and monev, an opportunity to look over, salect'and read wbat one may discover. Even a small daily newspaper will print, in a single issue, be. tween 30,000 and 50,000 words of copv. If anyone has the Idea they can get over tbe radio let them sit down and see bow long it will take to "broadcast” tbat much wordage. —Ex. Renew your subscription today and get a 1943 Alma nac free. W k a i y o a B u t f W iik WAR BONDS Every shipyard In our country is setting amazing records in the construction of a merchant marine so essential to the transport of supplies and men to the seven seas. The overall cost of these Inmdreds of ships now building runs into millions of dollars. Many of them are called “Victo ry” ships and you are contributing to this victory by your purchase of War Bonds . . . at least ten per* cent of your income, every payday. WeH need these ships after the war, too, when Peace comes.O.S. TntnryPtttHmtM Wilkes JoomaL Until this month, The Jonrnal- Patriot had published the name o f every man called fo r Induction un der the Selective Service system. Of course, many of those called were recected, but the public knows tbat the men were called. Now an editor has come ont that tbe names of men called for induc tion cannot be published, but - tbat the names of men accepted and placed into the armed forces can be published. Th re is a serious objection to this. Tbe public naturally will think tbat those who are rejected are staying out of the army tor some other reason, and those re jected are going to be the subject of much undne criticism. We can see no reason for not publishing tbe names of men called for introduction, bnt we can name reason why their names should be published The Statesville Dally carried the following editorial comment under tbe title of "Personal Embarrass ment” : “You noted in your paper the other day tbat a group of graft se lectees bad left for a SoutI. Caro lina camp for examination prelimi. narv to induction into - the armed forces. Their names were not given tor reasons best known to draft of ficials "It must be assured that these reasons are sound and serve a good purpose, but do they outweigh the faults of a procedure that makes the names of those who enter tbe service available only atfer they are accepted? Public interes is continually raising the question "why is so end- so not in training camps along with others of equal age and deferment qualifications?” The answer in some cases is that they have been tried and found physically wanting. But the pnblic must find this out for itself. Those who fail to pass physical examinations are not so embarassed ior tbat reason as they are by the arching of the public brows because they are safely at home. Yet that is tbe sole reason Washington officials advance fo r withholding their names from pub lic publication. "Tbe young man who accepts the draft call and goes willingly to camp for physical examination and fails, is jusi as patriotic as those who go and are. accepted And they should be given equal credit. It is through no fault of tbeir own that those who fail in requirements for military d ties, don’t make the grade. It becomes more awkard and more impossible for them to ex plain to all and sundry that they tried and failed, when newspapers ate not allowed to set fotth tbat they had answered the call. "The slacker or draft-dodger, whatever methods he employs to that end deserves all the condemns tion the public elects to heaps upon him, but pointing out those who are really guilty becomes harder under this latest ruling by the selective service officials. Local boards, of course are not responsible for it.

CHAPTER VH Potter offered to drive as many as could crowd into his car down to the wrecked bridge, 'and the rest of us started for the inn. Victor whis pered to me to search the absen tees’ rooms for that square diamond. “Too valuable to be left, Quincy says.” I felt glad he trusted me to do it. I got a look into nearly every room—not thorough, of course, but a glance in the most likely places. TJncle Wylie bumped into me on the stairs. “Seen my pipe, Judy?” He fished futiley from pocket to pocket, and then went on down to the Icitchen to hunt. I followed him down to the kitch en. Aunt Nella began hissing at him right before Lily Kendall, who’d gone out to talk with auntie because she didn’t want to be alone. Uncle Wylie went down to the ruins Of the old shed. He was lifting the shawl when I called to him not to touch anything. Then he just walked around, eyes on the ground, hunt ing for the pipe Victor had in his pocket. I hadn’t told him about it, because I didn’t want to alarm him too much with implications; he’d know soon enough. But now I start ed after him, only to see the car coming back. They’d tossed a coin to see who’d be left behind. Albion Potter was chosen, but he seemed so reluctant to stay alone that the preacher vol unteered. As to the bridge itself, it just wasn’t any more, that’s all. The old wooden planks had been blown to splinters and washed away by the swirling waters below. You see, it had to be a time bomb, Victor had explained; or else have one of the cars stop and some one get out and set off the dyna mite fuse, or whatever was used. And the cars didn’t stop. No one got out. “But why couldn’t someone from Hockville have blown up the bridge right after we crossed?” somebody asked. (I was told about this after ward:) That, of course, was possible on account of the darkness. Or it might have been one of those at home on the Head that evening—Hugh or Mr. Quincy or Victor Quade or Lily or Aunt Nella or I. I felt I could eliminate my aunt, Mr. Q., Victor Quade and myself. After all, I was only sure of myself! The general concensus was that either Mr. Brown had blown the bridge after killing Roddy, or vice versa. Only after the identification of that charred, grisly corpse could one be sure. Victor said: “Let’s try to help one . another. Shall we sit on the porch? Judy, go get your uncle.” So I called Uncle Wylie, who came slowly back, looking rather sheep ish before his guests, sitting in the hammock, the porch rockers, and even on the steps. Up panted the minister. Had he, too, gotten cold feet? Said he’d get his field glasses and could see anyone approaching, from the inn piazza. We were still at a standstill. Although so early in the morn ing, the air was warm. A land breeze had sprung up, which was rapidly dispersing the fog. At Victor’s request I got Aunt Nella to join us. “You’ll only get clam chowder for lunch,” she scolded, untying her blue checkered apron and taking the chair Hugh Norcross brought her. “Go ahead with the third degree. Only I didn’t set the fire and nei ther did W y-my husband. Here’s his pipe.” Bless her! as Victor would say. She held up an old corn cob I'd never seen my uncle smoke in my life.Wylie Gerry flushed. “That’s not the one, my dear. Mine is a little briar. Had it in my pocket when I went to town. Smoked it all the evening down to the plumbin' shop with the boys !until—” he contem plated his shoes a minute and then looked Quade squarely in the eye. “Wait a minute,” Victor Quade in terrupted, reaching into his pocket. “Is this your pipe, Mr. Gerry?” Uncle Wylie reached for the dirty old thing, then he beamed all over. “Why, yes. Yes, that’s it.” He stuck it comfortably between his teeth: “Where’d you find it? I’ve hunted everywhere.” “Down by the fish shed, during the fire. Certain it’s yours?” “Sartin I’m sartin. However it got there.”Aunt NelIa gasped and began to bristle' all over, but before she could say anything the minister cried: “There! What more do you want? Gerry lay on the bench and his pipe rolled out of his hand and start ed the fire." “Bdt he wasn’t smoking,” Albion protested. “I ought to know; he was in my car. You ought to know, too, De WitL You saw him sitting in the car when we rushed into the inn, excited about the explosion.” “If the pipe set the fire, why didn’t it get bulbed?” I asked. “The bench was burned to cinders.” “How could the pipe have set the fire?” Hugh Norcross cut in. “No pipe stays lit that long. Besides, while we were all down there I dropped my cigarette case. Had to light a match to find it. Looked all around that bench and didn’t see any pipe.” Victor was looking at him coolly. “So you lit a match?” “What of it?” “Nothing. Only you told us you were over by the Lane castle right after- dark when Judy, and Mr. Quincy spoke to you. Didn’t take another stroll in the same direction and light another match later, did you?” Hugh nearly fell off the railing. “Say, what is this? You’ve got a nerve insinuating a thing like that in front of all these people. I had a score to settle with Lane, I’ll admit, but not the way things have been turning up around here. I’m not a killer. Nor an incendiary.” Bessie got up and linked her Srm in his. “I’ll just tell you this much, those of you who don’t know. Rodney Lane and I were engaged five years ago. We—we broke it off. Hugh thought he treated me rather shab bily, but there was nothing more to it. Roddy didn’t even appear to know me the other night, and I cer tainly thanked my stars he hadn’t married me. What I’d like found out is who snitched Hugh’s blue silk "Down by the fish shed daring the fire.” N scarf from my bureau and Mr- Pot ter’s turpentine. I think we’ve got a maniac, a kleptomaniac and a what do you call ’em—pyromaniac.” For a moment we all sat trying not to look at poor Bessie Norcross, giving us the lowdown on her un happy past. I felt awfully sorry for her. Pretty tough to go to a place where romance has touched your heart and then come back with it broken to see if it hurts any more. “Thank you, Miss Norcross. That’s what I mean,” Victor said, talking rapidly to give the girl a chance to control herself. “By admitting that affair to us—being frank and open about it—you’ve helped us to under stand some otherwise ambiguous re marks. The police may not even have to know about it.” “The police!” Bessie stood twist ing her handkerchief to knots. She looked as if she’d have another breakdown any minute. Tall, dark, angular, too thin, she had none of her brother’s good looks. Hugh turned to her. “What Quade means is that, if we all come clean, this murder will OUT. Evidently he thinks it’s one of us. Just as some of us think it mighty funny HE should turn up when he did.”Victor looked at me. “Guess I’ll have to tell them, Judy.” “It might be better, Mr. Quade.” Victor came around where he could see us all. “I’m not too flat tered none of you recognizes me,” he said. “Anyone ever read ‘Blood on the Necklace’?” Lily Kendall’s opal beads scattered on the porch. “I have. Gee,' it was swell! Why, you ain't—? Now don’t tell me!” “Or ‘Window Ledge’ or ‘Ghost in the Chasm’?’’ Victor rattled on. “I’ve heard of them,”*Bessie said. “And I’ve read ’em all, Mr. Vi dor Quinn,” Mr. De Witt spoke up. “Mighty good reading. A fellow loaned them to me in Once.” State’s Prison, did he mean? His face was purple. Would he explain? I wondered, but he didn’t. There was an uncomfortable shuffling till Victor went on suavely: “You’re right. I’m Vidor Quinn, but my real name is Quade. Victor Quade. The other’s just a pseudo nym. And I am recovering from an attack of rheumatic fever. There fore the trailer and the rest by the sea. You can verify that much, lat er. Chose to come on my own name for a little seclusion so I could do another book. Well, you’ve given me the book.” “You mean you’re goin’ to put us all in a book? How thrillin’I” Lily squealed. “I don’t know. If I do it would be nothing personal—nothing you’d not wish that your friends might identify you by. A writer can change a story so you wouldn’t rec ognize it as ever having happened to you. But that’s not here nor there. Being Vidor Quinn doesn’t give me an alibi.” "I’ll say it doesn’t,” Quincy shot at him. “However,” Victor ignored the interruption, “it does place me—give the rest of you something to go on.” “How do we know you didn’t cook up the whole thing? Get even with Lane and hide behind your voca tion?” I was ashamed for Mr. Quin cy. Victor only smiled and showed his fine white teeth at me. “Miss Jason hinted something or other of the kind—” “I did not,” I stammered. “I nev er really thought—” “In your eyes, my dear. I told her, as I’ll tell you, that when I plan a murder I won’t park my trail er on the spot and leave my car to get away in down in the Rockville garage. I’d just like to say this, as a manufacturer of mystery sto ries there are certain aspects of this one which are only too appar ent. Used them myself in fiction. Now, do you wish me, or shall some one else, act as spokesman so we can clear up some of the muck? Believe me, the police will run the gamut of all your—our lives.” There was a unanimous decision that he should go ahead. Even Mr. Quincy appeared to have less ani mosity. He banged the rail with his cane. “I’ve been hoping, Mr. Quade, H we let you talk you’d give yourself away. Now you’ve done it, and there’s a chance you’re O. K. What do you want to know? I’ll spill the beans after you show us a few cre dentials. Can yon do it?” “I don’t know,” Victor said, fish ing in his pocket. He pulled out a billfold, but stuffed it back again. “Guess you’ve got me. Thought I had a statement from my publisher, but I must have left it at home when I dumped the rest of my pock ets. That’s a good one. You’ll have to take me on faith, mingled with doubt, of course—unless it’s in ah- other pocket in the trailer. Shall w« go see?” He shrugged. “Personally I can think of a dozen more im portant—” “Well, I can’t. You come to the Head and hell busts loose. Give Judy and Norcross the keys to yoilr trailer and let ’em look. Only take a jiff.” Mr. Quincy tapped the eud of each sentence with a cane. AU we needed was direction. No- sooner-said-than-done stuff, to re lieve the tension. The two of us ran up the pasture to the lovely new frailer. I’d never been inside one before. Compact? Why, it had ev erything. Everything but the pub lisher’s letter. We locked it up again and hurried to report. “No letter,” Norcross said. “Puts you on the same spot with me, Mr. Quade.” “Except that he did have a type writer. And—and there was a sheet of paper in it,” I said. Hugh Norcross said accusingly: “Go on, Miss Jason. TeU what he’d written.” “It said—it said—there was jus? a title in capitals.” “Yes. And the title was—‘Mul der on the Bluff!’ ” Hugh finished for me. “Now was that a coinci dence or was that a coincidence?” Thaddeus Quincy thumped furi ously. “Either he’s the maniac or it lets him out and he is Vidor Quinn. Mystery story, don’t you see? I move we let it lie and go on. Mr. Quade will have to stick around where we can keep an eye on him, anyway. What were the dozen more important things you spoke of a moment or two ago?” Albion Potter leaned forward, wide-eyed. “May I say something?” He seemed awfully self-conscious, speaking up before us all. “It’s about—you’ll think me foolish, at a time like this, perhaps—but—but— don’t forget, he took my turpentine. If I’d only discovered it before I went to town I could have bought some more.” I saw Victor give him a half glance, then turn his attention to Bessie Norcross. “The fire does make that missing turpentine seem more portentous. You—you, didn’t try to clean that spot off your white coat with a little of Mt. Potter’s turpentine, did you, Miss Nor cross?”“What spot?” Bessie twirled around to look where we were all looking. There, sure enough, was a big, black, greasy-looking smudge, fading away into yellowish rings. “Good grief! How did I get that on there?” She pulled at the offending skirt and murmured regretfully: “My new white coat!” Hugh stared fixedly at the spot “That’s «ny doings,” he sa’d. “Sor ry. ’Fraid I made it worse, Bess.” (TO BE CONThW tD) IM P R O V E D ^ UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I C H O O L L e s s o n By HAROLD L.

GOLDEN TE X T -H e U risen.—M ark 16:« “Christ is living! My people shall know it. I shall preach about it again and again until'they believe as I do.” So exclaimed Dr. Dale of London when the glory of Christ’s resurrection laid hold of him as never before. There began that day the custom of singing an Easter hymn in his church every Sunday morning. Easter has come again, and it ought to make us glad to recall the resurrection power of Christianity in the midst of the world’s awful sorrow and death. Easter should mean more to us than ever this year, if we believe in Christ. If we do not, why not rid ourselves of the dark garments of unbelief, and put on the bright and beautiful garment of faith in a living Christ. Let us be clad in His righteousness. The first Easter Sunday had scarce ly dawned When the faithful Mary came to the tomb. Finding the stone rolled away from its entrance she ran to find Peter and John. What they came and saw, and what—or rather who- -She remained and saw, make up out interesting lesson. I. Peter and John Saw the Empty Tomb (w . 1-10). Peter, though he had'denied his Lord, was not sent away by his brethren. They knew his true heart, and evidently the gentle and loving John had taken him to his home. Mary knew where to find him. What a tender incidental indication of the Christian spirit of the brethren of Peter. John and Peter ran to the tomb. The unusual news so stirred them that John the younger did not think to await the slower steps of Peter. He came first, but when he did he only looked in. Peter had no hesi tation, but went right in. What he found there was most significant. Here was twofold evidence that the body of our Lord had not been stolen. The burial clothes were there. They had not been carried off by a thief. Nor had they been snatched aside by a deceiver. They lay in order. There off to one side, carefully folded, was the head cov ering. Jesus was gone, but He had left in all the dignity and majesty of a triumphant Lord. What they saw caused John to be lieve. It appears (v. 9) that they had not yet understood the clear teachings of the Old Testament re garding the ’death and resurrection of Christ. They were slow to be lieve. Let not any in our day, with its greater light, fail to believe. Peter and John came and saw— and then “they went away again unto their own home.” And so they missed seeing Christ Himself. H. Mary Met the Risen Christ <w. 11-17). The tears of Mary were the genu ine expression of a devoted heart, but they were nevertheless mistaken tears. The question of the angel re veals that fact. Why weep because His body was gone, when that was the very thing which should give her joy? Why weep over a dead Christ when He was alive? How often our discernment is dimmed by tears and our judgment warped by sorrow. We look on the wrong side of our circumstances and see only a tangle of threads and blurred colors. On the other side God is weaving a pattern of beauty and blessing, which will be our joy through all eternity. Why not re member that now? Blinded with tears and troubled in heart, Mary did not even recognize the Lord when He spoke to her. But our Lord looking into her soul and knowing that it was her very love- for Him which made it hard for her to think of anything but His death, gave to this true-hearted woman the privilege of first seeing Him after His resurrection. As He spoke her name, she knew Him. We recall that Jesus Him self had said that He was the Good Shepherd who “calleth his own sheep by name” (John 10:3-14). He knows your name -and mine, fejlow Christian, and one day we too shall hear His voice even as Mary did on that day. She believed and worshiped. Let us follow her example this Easter day. There is a danger that the observ ance of Easter may lose its real significance in'the empty inciden tals which the world would have us believe make the day. It is a holi day, There isthought of new clothes, of formal church attendance, of fam ily gatherings, of flowers and feast ing. They are all right in their prop er place. But let us be sure that no. adult fails to meet the risen Christ today, and let us be sure that the smallest child knows that this is. more than the day of bunnies and candy eggs. They will rejoice In the knowledge that a victorious . Christ lives to give them eterhal life. 7 " Let us really “keep the' feast”’this year, purging out the leaven of hypocrisy and dead works, and ,re membering Christfsee I Cor. 5:7; 8).

V ery beautiful, talented and intelligent, the young Swedish dram atic sta r is fam ous on the Scandinavian stag e and in England. She put in her year of waiting here for her quota number, so that she'could act, by writing for Swedish newspapers; even covered the President's press conferences. She’s a superb actress, SIGNE HASSO beautifully trained. You’ll get just a small sample of her work in Metro’s thrilling “Assignment in Brittany” ; she stands out in a cast including such experts as Margaret Wycherly, Richard Whorf, John Emery and George Coulouris. Christine Gordon, making her American debut in “I Walked With a Zombie,” plays the zombie, the longest role in this RKO film. In Czechoslovakia Miss Gordon was well known on the stage, screen and radio—in this picture she doesn’t speak a word! Carlton Morse, whose “One Man’s Family” has been a teri-year favor ite on the air, is finally making a screen treatment of it for United Artists. What with still doing the famous radio serial and having his “I Love a Mystery” broadcast again, he’s fairly busy. There’s an ambitious plan under way to open United Artists’ “Stage Door Canteen” on all fighting fronts simultaneously—practically all over the world, as well as on ships at sea. The event will be brought to the American public by radio; the famous folk of the show world who appear in the picture will partici pate, and there’ll be conversations between them and the men of the armed forces. Lum and Abner, wljo must deliver their fourth picture to RKO by June I, are still searching frantically for just the right story. Meantime, their second film, “Bashful Bachelor,” still makes money; the third, “Two Weeks to Live,” is just out. For the first time in eight years Adolphe Menjou and his wife, Veree Teasdale, will appear together in a picture; they’ll be seen in “Hi Did dle Diddle” as a husband-wife team, and are planning to continue as a starring partnership. Ann Shirley and Walter Reed, who took fcreen tests together when they were 13, for child parts in a Brian Foy picture, have the roman tic leads in “Bombardier.” - He didn’t immediately recognize her When they met at the RKO studio; in the days when they made those tests together she was known as “Dawn O’Day”—the kind of name that always used to be inflicted on child actresses.

Six of Our Stdtes As. f ° od ad_ m im s tra to r he ought to like whatever the 5,000,- 000 farmers can grow, even if it is spinach. Fifty-six years old now, Davis used to be footloose. He was born in Iowa and got his AB at little Grinnell, but later he picked up a law degree at CIem- son in South Carolina, and his first job was in South Dakota. He was editor of a pint-sized paper there and then he rolled mosslessly on to Montana. Mon tana always has a fine crop of girls, and he married one in 1913 and finally became state agricultural commissioner. Mar riage nails most men down, especially when it produces two sous, but Davis rolled on to Illi nois to run first a grain market ing association and then a corn stalks processing company. All this seems skitter-skatter, but it turned out to be just right for a job with the Agricultural Adjust ment administration, first as direc tor, then as administrator. And that led, by a neatly selective process, into the Federal Reserve system. He has been president of the re- . serve bank in St. Louis for several years and maybe in defense against people wanting money he has formed the habit of dropping his fleshy face and looking somberly from under heavy eyebrows. • — TsJ OW and then the production of this column is interrupted by a young buck from next door who "'peaks the irreverent jargon of the /ellow Peril of ^ ‘n , 7 o r° ^ TokyoaGangster ample, grave To Reckon With e ld e J aPeaka som berly of Japan’s dangerous Premier Kdeki Tojo he swings in with a carefree “Hi-de-ho.” His is a too flippant reaction. The yellow, or tea-colored peril of Tokyo is bad medicine for people in these parts, even though he has softened his earlier promise to route con quering legions through our states. Now he will only crush our power in the Pacific. He seems to figure this won’t be so difficult with those 26 new dictatorial laws, and with a new economic council to cut red tape. Tojo, according to men lately back from the Far East, heads up a band of military gangsters. He took over the government of Japan, they say, by methods such as Dutch Schultz used to take over the liquor racket in the bad. old days here. The same methods will keep him in power until his gang meets a tougher gang or he is, himself, rubbed out. He is big for a Japanese, with an untrimmed mustache and a mere spatter of hair fringing the skin stretched tightly over his hard skull. He lives in the Samurai tradition, eats lightly, rises early, and pam pers himself only in the number of cigars he puffs to ashes in a day. He graduated from Japan’s Military academy and has been in the army all his life. His followers call him Razor Brains, a nickname Dutch would have envied. But as for his wife! She says that no gent- Jer husband ever lived. She has never once heard him scold, a servant.

But at 38 he could easily feel ready to come out in the open and tip over a tottering dictator. He should know, too, how to run an army. He was a gen eral on active duty two years ago. And this spring he led the Italians in Russia. Backward, mainly, but still it was experi ence. Once Humbert wrote a friend that he doubted he ever would be king. His prospects are brighter now, but even if he still feels the same way, he has a son. As head of the army he might cinch the throne for the nipper. He has a daughter, too. His wife was Princess Marie Jose of Belgium. They live more happily than most pairs who make marriages of state. Tall, bookish, and a five-way Iih- guist, Humbert is still good-looking although a face romantically slender in youth has grown somewhat heav ier with the approach of die fat forties. ; An American girl competing in the Olympic games of ’36 gave the crown prince a quick eye and cried, “Gosh!

(W NU Feature—Through special arrangement with Woman’s Home Companion.) In the heart of New Delhi, capital of India, you will find the headquarters of the Tenth Air force of the American army. It is really a city of its own. Before this war, there have been eight Delhis, six of which crumbled away with declining civilizations. Beginning of the war found still in existence the seventh Delhi, a typ ical teeming eastern city of rickshas, sleeping coolies and wandering cows; and the eighth Delhi, a gov ernmental suburb of broad streets and fine buildings known as New Delhi. Now that the Yanks have come to India, there has come into being a community which may well be called the ninth Delhi. When my plane arrived in India I drove to the Imperial hotel, then the American headquarters,' along streets my taxi shared with camel caravans, bullock carts, motor buses, bicycles and pony carts. On broad tree-lined Queensway we ran between empty lots where ground was broken for construction projects. Already masons were at work on fresh foundations and- loose- limbed hill-women with rings in -their noses and heavy silver anklets clanking above ' their bare feet were carrying bricks on their heads. I stayed in India six months and long before I left the ninth Delhi was completed and occupied, with the American flag flying before the headquarters building and thou sands of American soldiers comfort ably installed in their new quarters. Bomb Japs in Burma. As I write, British troops are still pouring across the Burma border and members of the American Tenth Air force are bombing Japanese in stallations in Burma. America didn’t get into the war in time to give mass aid to preventing the loss of Burma, but by wise planning they got there in time to take part in its reoccupation. Theirs is des tined to be a vital part in turning the tide of war in the East. The ninth Delhi, spread along both sides of Qusensway for half a mile, comprises two-story barracks, of ficers' quarters, office buildings, hospital and post exchange. Last but far from least are die mess halls, where Yank soldiers eat as do few armies on either side of this war. While the barrack room bearers are making the beds and comparing admiring notes on their new mas ters, the boys themselves are eating a breakfast that might just as well have been prepared in East Orange, N. J., or Terre Haute, Ind. Fruit, eggs, much of the meat and all the fresh vegetables are purchased lo cally, but there’s a good sprinkling 'of canned and packaged goods brought through half a dozen sub marine zones so the boys can have the kind of meals that mother used to make. Yanks Eat American Style. The American soldiers in India are eating American style in the army mess halls, but healthy curi osity has led them to make a thor ough investigation of Indian food as well. . The little restaurants are always crowded with them, nibbling strange curries, savoring hot spices, perhaps even trying a chew at the red betel nut the Indians think good for their digestion. And a particular favorite is a rich pastry covered with real silver leaf. The Indians think silver is good for their insides. The Americans don’t take mnch faith In that, 'but they do get a kick out of eating real silver. Some of them are writing home warn ing the folks to lock up the fam ily silver after the war; they say they might forget where they were and chew up Aunt Lou’s beet creamer or swallow those souvenir spoons from the World’s fair. These men of the Indian AEF are mechanics, clerks, cooks, techni cians of a hundred different kinds, and they put in a full day at their appointed tasks unstayed by sun or dust storm or monsoon. But they have their fun while they can get it. A tonga is a two-wheeled cart drawn by an undersized, mangy but spirited Indian pony. There is one broad seat, separated into two by a back rest running from side to side. Thus two passengers can ride facing forward and two facing backward. The man who invented tongas didn’t know much about the laws of balance. J l two passengers take a tonga and sit in the back seat, the shafts go up in the air so high the pony has to walk on tiptoe. To counteract this the driver crawls out on the right shaft and operates as a sort of off-side jockey. !P B K IN G Ty Cobb 6 Y & d tr 7 ? icz fA < z s rL iL y Beleased by W estern Newspaper Union. W HO was the greatest baseball player of all time?Ty Cobb was voted that honor last year in a national poll conducted by the Sporting News. But not every authority agrees with that verdict. Andy Coakley, baseball coach at Columbia university, is one of the dissenters. In a re cent story by H. G. S alsinger, widely know n D etroit sports writer, Coak ley—former pitcher for the Philadel phia Athletics — is quoted as saying that “The greatest player of all time was Sockalexis, the Indian. He had the speed, dexterity and agility of Cobb, the fielding genius of Tris Speaker and also his throwing ability. On top of that he had as much hitting talent as any man who ever swung a bat, and probably more. He was a mas ter artist.” Sockalexis, according to Salsinger, was one of the most tragic—and least known—figures of baseball. When he made his big league debut he probably showed more natural ability than any other player before or since. He could hit, field and throw. Within a few weeks he was the most discussed man in the game. But he lasted only two years. Be- 'fore he reached the majors he never drank anything stronger than milk. Then, after sufficient urging on the part of a few of the boys, Sock alexis tried a glass of whisky. That was the beginning of the end. He liked the drink and from then on couldn’t leave it alone. Sockalexis became an out and out drunkard. None of the cures proved successful. He would slip away from his guards and wind up in an alcoholic stupor, sleeping in door ways or alleys. Managers finally gave up. He was ruined. He finally drifted out of the game, winding up on an Indian reservation with his own people. His death came in a few years—not long after the public had forgotten him. Return Honors Memories of another great Indian athlete were revived recently when: two legislators introduced a bill in the Oklahoma legislature to have that body petition the AAU for the return of Jim Thorpe’s Olsrmpic medals and his name to the record books. Such a step would pay proper homage to a legendary character, and it would come during his life time. Thorpe at present is em ployed in the protection service of a Detroit plant. About 30 years ago Jim Thorpe’s name was known in all parts of the world. In 1912 he performed near miracles by winning the pentathlon and the decathlon at the Stockholm Olympic games. The king of Sweden proclaimed the big Ameri can Indian the greatest athlete who ever lived. ' But Thorpe’s name can’t be found in the record books today. It was only a short time after the 1912 games that he was found guilty of accepting a salary for playing a game of ball earlier in the summer. Despite the small amount involved —and it was said to have been $5 —he was declared a professional. All Around Man The marks made by Thorpe have been bettered—but they were made SI years ago. And few of the mod em record holders could fare as well as the big Indian in the all-around test—including the 100 meter run, broad jump, shot put, high jump, 400 meter run, 110 meter hurdles, dis- tus throw, pole vault, javelin throw and 1,500 meter run. It must not be forgotten that,1 apart from his great showing in track and field, Thorpe played foot ball at Carlisle Indian school. In fact, he is most widely known for . his grid prowess. In the minds of many he is the greatest of all foot ball players. I As a baseball, player he had the ability to play with the New York Giants under the late John McGraw. He had one drawback that eliminat ed him from the majors—his- in ability-to hit curve ball pitching- ' Sporadic attempts have been made to return Thorpe’s name to the record books and to give him back his trophies. It would- be a fitting gesture to honor him thus. Usually such homage awaits the death of the individual most con cerned. Then the whole affair has a very hollow ring.

Judging from the Easter previews so alluringly set forth this season it would seem that there surely must be some sort of concerted movement among mil linery designers to offset the sim plicity and conservatism of the new suits, dresses and coats with head wear so devastatingly pretty the en tire costume is made to take on an air of feminine charm. Even the classic little felt fedoras, derbies, homburgs, tricornes, calots and berets that make such smart suit hats this spring, with their pro fusion of gay veiling, and the tiny felt or straw sailors that pitch for ward at a perilous angle (were it not for the modish hatpins that come to their' rescue), are so beguiling one yields to their provocative flat tery and prettiness at very first glimpse. These perky felts will car ry you gloriously through the spring, and, having such a definitely “new” look, they give the perfect answer as to “what to wear” with the all- important Easter tailleur. Charmingly old-fashioned yet con vincingly chic is the suit hat of li lac (a featured color this spring) felt shown at the top to the right in the illustration. It is typical of the cur rent new and important fashion trend. Note that the flower buckle idea is used here. The small yellow flowers appear to be holding a gros- grain ribbon, of deeper lilac than the hat, in place. The piquant veil matches the ribbon. Another up-to-the-minute suit hat is shown in the lower left corner. Black and white straw woven with a saw-tooth edge forms the smart tail crown for this swank chapeau. A tassel of black burnt goose is set at the right side and the towering crown is banded in black grosgrain ribbon. Of course you’ll be wanting a lit tle flower hat to wear with your suit or your simple basic dress and its frilly neckwear on extra occasion. Flower hats are the big news this spring and what gay littte flatterers they are! You will find as you look around the most beguiling flowery confections fancy can picture creat ing a scene of bewildering loveli ness wherever Easter millinery is on display. Can’t you just see the violet-be decked hat shown below to the right drawing admiring glances as it moves along on the avenue comes Easter Sunday morn? It’s of white straw with a scalloped brim. The purple and white violets that trim it carry a rapturous note of spring. The dotted veil is in a matching vio let shade. “He loves me, he loves me not”— maybe that’s why daisies are chosen to adorn the jaunty bright-stripe taf feta sailor shown in the upper left comer. Here’s hoping the petals will tell. This colorful hat breathes the very breath of spring in the yellow and orange-toned stripes of the taf feta. The large white daisies are effectively positioned, and the daisy at the throat fastens to a sapphire blue velvet choker that matches the ribbon on the hat. As to the adorable rose fantasy that crowns milady’s head with glory as illustrated centered in the group it has a story also to tell of veil enchantment, for the veil theme is being played up in all its phases with consummate art this spring. The Easter bonnet without a veil will be rather the exception than the rule. In this instance lacy fern- green veiling exquisitely patterned Srames the face in a wistful sort of beauty, then flows gracefully down the back. The snow white roses hug a bicycle clip to nestle securely in the hair. Sweet bit of headwork for the coming spring. Beleased by W estern Newspaper Union. Self-Print Lining Self-print linings are being used in coats and in jackets this season to a wide extent. Another big feature in the new spring 1943 mode is the new low to which daytime decol- letes are going. This very charm ing print ensemble demonstrates both of these high-style points. Here a bright red wool coat is jewel-but toned over a street-length dress that has been given a most daring new neckline. Makes a smart after-five restaurant gown. Check up on the necklines of the new afternoon print frocks. You will find designers are doing unusual things with them. Sleeve Length Is. News This Spring The long and short of it in sleeves makes interesting news this spring. Both are in fashion. In fact sleeves go to extremes in the new dresses and blouses. Many of the incoming blouses have wrist length sleeves that finish off with a simple wrist band or with a daintily feminine frill of lace. Then, too, some of the smartest, most exclusively styled black or navy dresses that make slender silhouette and sophisticated simplicity their theme have long, fitted sleeves that take on dra matic lingerie frills or lace ruffles at the wrist. The bracelet length sleeve also remains a popular choice, being liked for its thorough practicality. In contrast to the lengths above mentioned, fashion is staging a sen sation in way of sleeves so brief that in..some instances they appear to be not much more than shoulder caps. So far these sleeves are merely in the tryout stage. These short ver sions are at their best in sports clothes. However, charming little afternoon print frocks are thus sleeved, also the dressy-type black streetjlength dinner and restaurant gowns. Gingham Necklace A cunning necklace that will de light the heart of any little girl is made up of little red-and-white checked gingham flowers combined with red felt.

Tlris easily prepared gelatin des sert uses all nnrationed food. It’s pretty but easy to make, and will top off either a IigIit or heavy meal. These are times when changes are the fashion—and that particu larly applies to changes in foods and cooking meth ods. Mrs. Ameri ca can no longer dash to the gro cer’s and get enough canned or processed foods to put together a quick meal. Nor can she get together a meal, even one that would take time, with those rationed foods. Points must be budgeted far more carefully than dollars and cents in the past! That is the realization ev ery homemaker has been feeling since Ration Book II went into ef fect. Out of that has arisen one maxim: never to buy a canned or processed food if a fresh one is available. Confusion, indecision, and slow ness in buying were the adjectives grocers used when buying with War Bation Book n began. But this is gradually wearing away as Mrs. America learns new shopping meth ods. Since point values change month ly, it’s a good idea to keep a list of point values on hand, when making the menu. Plan menus for a week at a time—marketing lists and budg et lists all on hand when you’re do ing this importantbit of work. Don’t go to the store and wander aim lessly, selecting whatever appeals to tiie eye. Even if you have- four or five ration books from which to spend, it’s certain you won’t get enough out of them by the hit or miss method. Keep on the lookout for point val ues which may change—they vary from month to month and sometimes change during the month as the pub lic’s buying habits are watched. Haphazard shopping, meal-plan ning, and carelessness about the health of the fam ily are out of date. The home maker must be alert and vigilant now as never be fore to make of her family the strongest a n d healthiest possi ble unit—for a healthy America is a strong America.

Walter E. henhour. Hiddentte. N. G. AU mankind who want forgive.- ness of their sins, their shortcom ings. failures and mistakes, and who expect God to forgive them when they call upon Him in re- pentance, must realize . that they have to forgive everybody else. There Is no such thing as bolding envy, malice, prejudice, hatred and revengfi in one’s heart, soul and spirit toward others, or harboring an unforgiving spirit toward any. one, and in the meantime receive the forgiveness of God. ' Here is what Je3us said about forgiveness: “For if ye forgive men tbeir trespasses, your heaven ly Fathe- will also forgive you: But if ye forgive pot men their trespasses, neither will vour - Fath er forgive your trespasses ” No doubt manv Ji prayer has failed to bring forgiveness to the hearts and souls of men, and bring the bless ings of God upon them, all because they harbored a spirit and feeling of unforgiveness toward others. What if somebody has spoken a- gainst you, or done you an injus tice? Do you think you can hold it against him, never forgiving him and expect God to forgive you? What if you have greatly suffered at the bands of someone else? Is that any worse than your sins in the sight of God? Our forgiveness is conditional—If we forgive others. If we do not forgive we can’t he forgiven. It we do forgive, from the depth of our heart and soul, then call upon God |o forgive us, we can expect to be forgiven. But it seems (bat some people won’t forgive their fellows— It seems that they bad rather die and go to hell rather than forgive oth ers their trespasses. And if they don’t f«.rgive, they will go to hell. It seems that some want God to foTgive them, but they don’t want to forgive. God’s holy Word is plain in regard to this. If you do not forgive you can’t be forgiven. If you do forgiye-you can be for. given We can’t afford to hold to an un forgiving spirit, or harbor it In our lives. It will damn us in a devil’s hell, and of course that is what suits the devil. Let us realize whatever suits the devil certainly displeases God, and our. desire should be to please God always.

New Jersey. The Wilds of No Where The Land of Death and Destruction Received September 3,1942 Dear Sis: In writing tbis letter to you, I don’t know where to start first. So many things have happened since last I wrote. Well, to begin with, I have escaped death at the hand of an ene my in a way so amazing I am still in a daze. You remember I told you when I knew I was going over, I was going armed with the Bible? L . . ThatBibIeis the reason I am still here and able to write this letter to all America . . . Here is the story: My buddy and I were sent out on duty with our equipment in the work I told ypu be fore was onr job. We had just re ceived information. The most im portant for weeks. When Are were discovered by the enemy, I gave my buddy the information we had col* lected, told him to beat it with it, prepared myself to face them. It was the first time I’d been faced with the necessity of pointing my gun at a man and blasting the life from bis miserable body. I thought fast: then I said, "Lord, it’s your own respon sibility now.” My buddy had not obeyed my order, He bad no such scruples. As I reached for my car- bine, a- shot from one of them struck me in the breast and blasted me down. Thinking I was dead my pal jumped for me, grabbed my car bine as well as well as his own, stood astride my body, blasting away with both guns. He was blasted, too bis knees with three bullet wounds, but when he finished there was not a one of them left. Ee was amazed when I rolled over and tried to get up The force of that bullet had only stunned me. -Dazedly. I wondered why, I pulled that little Book out of my pocket and in utter muteness looked at the ugly hole in the cover . . . It had ripped through Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, on through the Pentateuch, on through the other books, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, and kept going. Where do vou think it stopped? In the middle of Psalm 91, poking like a finger at ttiis verse: "A thousand shall fall at my side, aad ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not cnme nigh thee, Only with thine eyes shalt though be hold and see the reward of the wick< ed.” Sis, when I read that verse it raised me th'ee feet of the ground. I did not know there was such a verse in the Bible. I’d been reading mostly in the New Testament. I read the rest of chapter—the first part was ripped apart. In utter humility I said, “Thank you, pre cious God.” and felt like a little boy that bad escaped the mouth of an enemy < f prey . . . When I got my buddy back to the post, he said, "Lute (he -calls me Lute). I’ve had enough. This con- vinces me. Come on—I want to get right with [God, starting right now. He wouldn’t let them tend his wounds. He Baid, "nothing matters now but this.” His body became so numb he couldn’t move it. But he wouldn’t give up. When the Lord finally came in, he moved! That soldier went crazy for God. He jumped over chairs (I mean boxes). Hejumped over bunks. He ever ran ,out ide and shouted to the whole camp. Since I’ve given my heart to God, and. talked with the boys, hold meet> ings and pray with them, God has given me 25 souls. Twentyfive of my buddies have prayed through and come but for God. God even gave me my general. Ittook a long time, He was so dignified. But God told me to go after him. I stuck on his tail until be was grounded and came through. . The Spirit of God hover ed over that tent with a sort of glimmering haze, I tell you, Sis, prayer is going to win this war, Not guns alone Fervent agonizing prayer I know is. God is bring them in one by one. The whole company will be a company of praying men. God has promised them to me. Given me assurance. Think bf it 120 pray- ing men and one general in one re- giment! When that happens this unit will be unconquerable. Prav, Sis. Pray as you never before. Tell everyone'to pray. Tell all America to go to its knees. Before each decisive victory any where over here, sometimes for hours sometimes for days, there has been a feeling of people praying far away Tne feeling is so strong, you can hear. One ofthemen the most subborn of them, said in the stillness of the night, “God! did you hear anything? Sounded like people pray- ing from that distant place Must be hearing things in this dead place.” So, pray, everyone. It will have to come from afar. No one prays in this land of utter desolation God has turned his face away fr-m the horror and destruction man has brought on himself Again I plead, tell America to pray! This war will never end until nations and people have paid in blood and tears for thrusting God out of their hearts, out of their nations, out of their lands. And tell them for God’s sake to send Bibles, and more Bibles! A Bible will give him the confidence that God is with him. I’d like to have tbis letter broadcast from every radio station in America. Try to get it on the air, in the papers in anything that is printed. Make copies of it. Send it from coast to coast. ’ Tell them the Army wants prayers and Bibles. And you complacent, bridge-play ing, fox-trotting, cocktail-drinking mothers, why didn’t you teach your sons about God instead of handing him a cigarette, a cocktail glass and a dance program! Get on your knees and ask God to forgive your sins. Then pray for the Army— pray, pray, pray! And you a great dignified preacher! Why didn’t you teach vour people to pray? To fol low God, instead of standing before them in your silke robes and read - ing them a ritua'? Only atonement for sin can stop the shelling, the killing, the murdering. Even the shells that come whizzing through the air screaming only - one word— “Atonement!” . . . I could g o on, but I am so tired, so weary. But in all so happy to see them coming to God one by one. So tell them to pray, atone for tin, and keep praying. And - when you send things to your boys, send Bibles. They want Bibles, Your loving brother, T h ey M u stE at Former President Herbert Hoo ver, outstanding leaders in agricul ture and milk production, and the governors of many states have been pointing out the dangers involved In underming our farm output by policies which treat agriculture as a non-essential industial, in com parison with so-called war indus tries. It is self evident -that any policy which cripples food production, will wreck the whole war production. Men and women have to eat every da« before they can produce 01 fight. We can’t keep our promises to our Allies to furnish them food," and at the same time feed-’this na. tion unless the farmer has the man power and the equipment to raise the crops. - A lost crop season or a lost milk cow involves a time element for re placement, of from one to three years. It is well, that" these facts are now being Impressed on those responsible for future farm policies. —Union Republican. < L and poster* for sa le a t The Record office.

M oore Food Needed Never before in the history of the United States has the need for in creased production of certain Agri culture products has been as groat as now. Farmers are being urged to pro duce Jnore food, feed and fibre crops, to increase production of Dairy pro ducts, Beef, Pork, and poultry also to increase production of Soy Beans and Peanuts for oil. all of which are of vital importance in the winning of the War and the establishment of peace. The Secretary of Agriculture is making his urgent call to the farm ers, realized that many farmers would need financial assistance in in creasing their production but he aU so know that the Farm Oedit Ad ministration of the Department of A griculture was prepared to assist farmers in a financial way when such assistance was needed an I when payment of a loan could rea sonably be expected from the crops produced. We are informed by Mr A. S. Clay Field Supervisor for the Emer gency Crop and Feed Loan Office of the Farm Credit Administration that loans are available to farmers who are unable to ' obtain their credit needs from local financial institutions or through their Local Production Credit Associations, security for such loans is a first Lien on the crops to be grown with interest at 4 percent. Applications for such loans in Davie County, are being accepted by Mr. F. R. Leagon in his office Mocka- villef N. C., during each afternoon of the week. F or T hirty Pieces O f Silver A letter from members of the 750th Tank Battalion, Company A, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, to work ers who recently strucb In a war industry, said in part: “We feel deeply hurt to think you would let the boys overseas down. Just what do yon think would happen to this country if the boys overseas wouid sit down, and quit fighting, because they just make $50 a month? We need more fighting equipment. What do you Americans want? More money now and slavery later, or less money and freedom? Justthink how some of your sons and broth ers over there would feel if they knew how you were selling them out, and that’s what you are doing when you stop production.” There is a Bible story of a selling out for 30 pieces of silver.

XTEW YORK.—For many a long ' year if you’d asked any mem ber of the Boy Scouts of America, who was the Chief Scout, he’d have Million Scouts Hail d/. Jam es' Him as tChiefl and E. West. Now ies for Keeps th^tie has been made official, and Dr. West has been promoted to a rank held previously by only one man, Ernesjt Thompson Seton, another lover of the outdoors with a powerful interest! in boys. Dr. West joined the Boy Scout movement January 2, 1011. It was in its infancy in the Uiiited States then. He took the job of Executive Chief on a six months’ trial basis. He stayed 32 years, finally relin quishing the post February I last. On Dr. West’s 65th birthday in May, 1941, President Roosevelt told him: “To you belongs much of the credit for the effectiveness of Scouting in this country.” Dr. West’s great interest in youngsters was spurred by the difficulties of his own boyhood. His father died when he was very young, and his mother, when he was six. There were no near relatives, and the boy grew up in an orphans’ home in Wash ington, his native city. To add to his problems, he was crip pled and on crutches. He saw to it that he had a good educa tion, though, and he worked his way through the law school of National university. He was practicing in the capital when Scouting called him. That wasn’t his first task in be half of youngsters, however. His efforts gave Washington its first ju venile court, and in 1909 he per suaded President Theodore Roose velt to call a White House confer ence on the care of dependent chil dren. He has had four children of his own, two boys and two girls. Both boys became Eagle Scouts. While in command, he saw his beloved Scouts grow into an organization more than a million strong. Turn About Fair ry for him.Play—FDR Now He has been Bosses a Darnels that for 20 years now. His first stint in that line came as a cub reporter on the Louisville Times. There he harvest ed his initial facts from a police sergeant who had been a Confed erate soldier. He had learned about newspapers long before that, how ever, from his father, Josephus Dan iels, editor of the Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer and secretary of the navy under Wilson. Young Jonathan started out to be a lawyer. He even spent a year at the Columbia law school after graduating from the Uni versity of North Carolina. He never practiced, though. He had been rubbing elbows .too long with printer’s ink. After trying his wings in Louisville, he re turned home to work for his dad. Later he wrote a novel. “Clash of Angels” it was called, and it helped him ,win a Guggenheim Fellowship and a couple of years’ study in Eu rope. When the elder Daniels shift ed his activities to the United States embassy in Mexico City, his son moved into the editor’s chair. In World War I a Daniels gave the orders to a young assistant secre tary of the navy named Franklin D. Roosevelt. Now it will be ‘the other way around. •---- R. C. E. M.

Dr. Joad, who is also a phi losopher and peddles IongJiaired notions from a chair in the Uni versity of London, argues the war will leave so many women without mates that they must be' provided with substitutes, even piecemeal ones. Oldsters will remember that the same argu ment followed the last war but no substitute replaced the time- defying practice of pairing off. Like Shaw, who goes along the same road far enough to insist that any woman should prefer a fifth share of a first rate man to a whole share of a fifth rate man, Joad throws off his recommendation from behind a barricade of whiskers. Grayish whiskers now, because he is 52. This five-to-one scheme is just his latest explosive declaration.

A SERIES OF 'SPECIAL ARTICLES BY THE LEADING WAR CORRESPONDENTS' America Loved In Middle East By Gordon Gaskill (W U V Feature—Through special arrangement with Woman’s Home Companion.) Since time means nothing in the great bazaar of Damascus, I had contentedly spent a full- half hour haggling the price of a dagger with a merchant name4, like all Syrians apparently, Ali Hassan.Then for the first time he noticed the brass insignia on my uniform: “U. S.” His eyes opened wide. “What!” he cried. “You Amer ican?” I nodded and Ali Hassan pondered my answer for a moment. Then suddenly he held out the dagger. “Take it,” he said, "take it free for nothing, and the next time you see that President Roosevelt,’ give him the dagger as a present from me and tell him he has the love of Ali Has san of Damascus.” So I took the dagger, and told him I would, and I will—for I think I shall never forget the look in his eyes as he said the name of Roose velt. j High Opinion of U. S. I have now been in the Middle East long enough to be past amaze ment at such behavior. But at first, before I became immune, I was as tonished and touched to find how enormously America bulks in the thoughts and dreams of the entire Middle East. To find how American products are cherished and used— and sometimes oddly misused. To find how the ancient East is becom ing Americanized. For example, merely because I was an American, a Jewish mer chant in Beirut had given me the best pair of shorts in his shop, a Free French tobacconist had pressed rare and expensive cigarettes on me, an Arab restaurauter had re fused payment for my dinner, and a Greek woman who runs a printing shop had waved aside, money for , some visiting cards. Instead, she wept as she told me how the Nazis had killed one son, how another son works in New York, and how much she loves all Americans. “AU Americans,” she said simply, "wiU go to heaven. AU of them. I am certain.” I let it go at that. Prized American Cigarettes. When I entered Syria at a remote border point, the frontier official waived aU formalities, and I gave him a package of American ciga rettes. “The first I’ve had in two years!” he breathed, and he took them as if they were gold. They almost were, for in Beirut they, were selling for a dollar a pack. Syria has always loved Americans. Most of us forget, if we ever knew, that after the last war Syria voted to have the United States rule her. When America declined, France took the mandate instead. America has been generous to Syrians who emigrated and often found their fortunes. . Almost every other Syrian you meet has a kins man in America and asks some thing like: "Do you know my son, Joseph, in the state of Philadel phia?” Zahle, a charming city in the Lebanon’s lovely Valley of ’Mulber ries, especiaUy cherishes Amer icans. There are 20,000 ZahUans in Zahle, but 20,000 more Uve in Amer ica. The local newspaper actually has more subscribers in America than in Zahle itself. I went to Zahle to stay one day and left, very regretfuUy, after ten days of unbe- Uevably generous hospitaUty. A Kbs for the President. It was in Zahle, for instance, that a wpman of about 50 came up to me as I was walking along the main street and asked me, in French, whether I was really an American. I said yes, and she asked if she could kiss me, then and there. So she did, on' both cheeks. “Once for President Roosevelt, and ooce for aU other Americans, may God bless them.” What she said about “aU other Americans” makes a point that should be underlined: This lav- . Ish gratitude and hospitaUty that Americans in the Middle East are receiving is emphatically not for ns as individnals, bnt as symbols of the 130,000,000 Amer icans back home. Tlirongh ns here, they are thanking every- I body in the States. Even the money situation helps this pleasant state of affairs. For example, the lowest paid American ordinary seaman receives today at least $200 a month, or about as much as a British major. And the dollar is at a premium, worth in purchas ing power nearly a half more than face value. ■ For economy’s sake, American merchant, marine officers , have dis carded their ancient prejudice against wearing~their rather snappy uniforms on shore.* They have dis- covered that a uniform—any uniform —means great savings.

You may have to forget many of the tradi tional foods and use only what your ration points will allow you—or what you can obtain at the grocer’s. Many of you in former times had baked ham or leg of lamb, but per haps this year it may be chicken, or whatever ra tion points will allow. So, get out your ration points and put on your thinking caps, la dies, and see what we can have to make this dinner a success. Markets throughout the country will have different meats available for your selection. A lot will depend upon how well you have saved your points to splurge on this occasion. H you plan chicken, stretch it with rice as we do in this recipe: *Fricassee of Chicken. (Serves 6 to 8) 4-pound chicken 14 cup flour 3 tablespoons chicken fat 2 teaspoons salt Paprika................. 314 cups boiling water 3 Freshly boiled rice Clean chicken and cut into serving portions. Dredge with flour and brown in fat. Add seasonings and boiling water to half cover. Sim mer, closely covered, until tender, about VA to 3 hours. If desired, place in oven to brown slightly after tender, and serve with boiled rice.Some of you will perhaps be fortunate enough to obtain lamb. If you cannot obtain a leg of lamb, a shoulder cut will be nice to serve with this barbe cue sauce: ' Lamb Shoulder, Barbecued. ’’ 4 pounds shoulder of lamb■ I medium onion 14 cup chill sauce I teaspoon salt H teaspoon' pepper Dash of cayenne ■ I tablespoon vinegar I hup water -■ Mix-onion, chili sauce, seasonings With vinegar and water.

JLynn Says: : How to Save Ration Points: If your'old recipes call'for tomato juice, 'tomato - soup and other canned., tomatoes, substitute broWn gravy. In most cases, it will work'quite welL . Substitute fresh ■ fruits for canned, and dried fruits in des serts and buy heavily of citrus fruits. Senle them sectioned or sliced, Use. seasonal fruits gen erously, ah applesauce and rhu barb. Store any excess water from cooked vegetables, and have it well covered when stored. Use in soups, gravies and stews. When cookie recipes call for dried fruits,, omit Uiem or use them sparingly. Omit chili sauce, catsup and chow chow from menus. Use them for seasoning foods such as meat when cooking or for sand wiches when necessary.

Iected and copyrighted by International Council. of Reugious Education; used by CHRIST'S CHARGE TO PETER LESSON TEXT—John 21:15-24. GOLDEN TESCT-Greater love hath no m an than -this, that a m an lay down his life for his friends.—John 15:13. Breakfast for a hungry fisherman —that is what our- loving and thoughtful Lord had provided on the shore of Galilee.- He wanted to talk to Peter, but He knew this was need ful first. There are some folk who think that following Christ is a dole ful matter, devoid.of every pleasure. Jesus never taught any such thing. He attended weddings and dinners even in the homes of those despised by men. But remember that He al ways did it for their spiritual good, not merely for His own enjoyment; and that He always brought the gath ering up to His own spiritual, level, rather than stooping to any worldly or wicked standards. Here we find Him with a glowing fire upon which fish is broiling, and with bread ready for these hungry men. It was just like Him thus to meet in most delightful and satis fying fellowship those who serve Him. Draw up to the fire, Christian friends who are standing afar off. You may be so timid that, like the disciples, you will not dare to call Him by name (v. 12), but if you will come, you will find that the precious fellowship will soon warm your heart. With the meal over, Christ turned to Peter and in their conversation we find the latter required to I. Face Responsibility (w . 15-17). With kindly persistence our Lord brought Peter face to face with his responsibility of full-hearted devotion to Him. Before service can be ren dered there must be a right relation ship to the Lord. Three times Peter was asked to declare his love for Christ. Such a public confession was quite in place, before the man who had thrice de nied his Lord was restored to a place of leadership. . The words “more than these” (v. 15) indicate that Jesus was asking of him ^ a high measure of devotion. It is no more than He has a right to expect of us. The conversation after breakfast that morning was a very profitable one. One is reminded, by contrast, that few of our mealtime discussions are very -useful. Many (perhaps most) after-dinner speeches and conversations yield little prpfit. Here is an occasion when such was not the case. One wonders whether we would not be wise to take the suggestion and turn our thoughts and those of our dinner guests to spiritu al things. Surely it should be so among Christian friends and in a Christian home. H. Feeding Christ’s Flock (w . 15-17). We review the same verses to point out that an expression of love to Christ means nothing except as it manifests itself in service. Like Peter, we are to be diligent about feeding His flock, whether they be the young and inexperienced lambs, or the mature sheep of the fold. We tend to specialize. Even in soul-winning some give themselves to child evangelism while others reach only adults, and would hardly think of dealing with a child. True it is that we have varying gifts, and one does one type of work better than another. But let us avoid over- specialization. Every needy soul is a challenge to us as we-present the gospel. The word “feed” should be stressed. Here againtkechurchhas frequently failed. Men and women are won to a decision for Christ, and then forgotten. Sheep must be fed if they are to grow. A teaching ministry must accompany the evan gelistic effort. They belong together, and to neglect either is to fail, at least, in that measure. HI. Follow Him to the End (w . 18-24). Endlessly ingenious are the de vices of Satan. He who-had sifted Peter like 'wheat (Luke 22:31) and', had rejoiced in the weakness of his denial of Christ, now saw him step ping out into victorious living. He heard the prophecy of the martyr death of Peter. So he put into his heart a question. Why should he suffer? What about John? What was the Lord going to do for him? . When our enemy cannot trip us tip with" temptation to personal sin,7 he resorts to the device of jealousy. Many promising Christian workers' have become useless because they have taken theii eyes off JesuS and put them on the persons and . work of other Christians; Doing hw ork which was difficult and unnotided but very important to Godj-Jthey have felt the urge to quit-because some one else seemed to have the easier task ,and receive more recognition; The answer of Jesus in verse' 22 plainly states that it is not the place of one disciple to judge the course of life of another, nor to gauge his own ' devotion to ChHst by another’s place or service. The word of Christ to-us is the same as to Peter: “Follow me.” We have all we can do to live our own lives in a manner well-pleasing to our Lord. % \ YTOUR small daughter will love * making her own bed with this charming embroidery on the spread.

FRANK STROUD Editor. TELEPHONE Entered at the Poatofflee in Mocks- vlUe. N. C., as Second-elase Msll ■ matter. Mareh 3,1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE f 100 $ 80 Wbo said we had an y black markets? If ignorance were bliss, it would be folly to be blistered Wonder if Henry Wallace told tbe South Atnericans about drown, tag tbe pigs and plowing up the cotton? President Roosevelt journeyed all tbe way to Mexico last week Wonder if this means that he is go ing to run for re-election next year? It seems like Congiess is going to kick the FSA out tbe back door like CCC, NYA, NRA WPA, and tot of other useless and expensive experiments. Despite the fact that all the peaches, peais an! cherries have been killed, and most of tbe apples, it is said that there will be at least some blackberries. There is al ways something to be thanktul for. We don’t think the New Deal bad anything to do with the kind of weather we have had for tbe past two months. They are responsible for many headaches, but are glad they have nothing to do with the weather. President Roosevelt said more than a year ago that we wonld have no inflation -that the cost of living wonld not continue to go up, or. words to that effect. Just how true he spoke we will leave for our readers to decide. The Record predicted last Janti- ary that this war would be over by next November. We haven' changed our mind When Uncle Sam gets ready to fight it doesn take him long to finish the job. Tbe enemy is on the run on all the great battle fronts. Seems to us that somebody made a bad mistake in prohibiting the newspapers from printing the names of all men who are sent to the army camps for examination and induct ion into the U. S. Army. It doesn’ seem fair to men who are sent tj these camps and rejected on count of physical disability. Seems like the ceiling prices that were fixed early last year, to pre. vent tbe cost of living going up, have been relegated to tbe rear With apples selling at 12 cents per pound, sweet potatoes $ 2 50 per bushel, beefsteak 60 cents a nound and cabbage $ t I per 100 po.mds, it seems like ioflation has already got us behind the eight ball. And now a Congressman has in vestigated tbe wastage of food in WasbtngtOn Ctty, aid declares that enough food is wasted every day in that ci'y to feed a thousand fatni lies in any of the occupied countries in Europe. Seems that. we have read where Nero fiiddled while Rome burned. Must be that those government employees in Washing ton bavent found out that we are engaged in a war. We never heard of a war being won with liquor. During the first World War Secrttary of the Navy Josephus Daniels prohibited tb e drinking 01 intoxicants by the sail* ors, and the war was soon woti, What a pity we haven't such men at the head of our Army and Navy today As a Methodist preacher said a short while ago, “ How can we win a war with a wet man at tbe head of our government?” The Winston Sentinel says none of the soldier boys are saving any. thing against tb e President. Cer tainly not. But some oi them are saying things about Mr. Roosevelt’s party. We received a letter just a few days ago ftom a Davie soldier In tbe far west, which contained this little para graph T “I bay. al ways been a Democrat, but tbe time has come for- a change. I bave seen plenty to change almost anyone’s vote.” . Nuff sed. . D a v ie “ O v e r T h e T o p ” The people of Davie county bave gone “over the top” in purchasing War Bonds this month.' Tbe conn ty’s quota was $91,900, and up to Monday tbe sales bad gone beyond £100,000 Knox Johnstone, conn, tv chairman, .requests all commit tees to get their reports in by Frl- day of this week. AU those who bave War Stamps, and can do so, are requested to convert them into Bonds by Friday. Buy every Bond yon can this week.______ N io e M o n th s S c h o o l A s k e d F o r D a v ie Whereas, th e Legislature 0 North Carolina has provided for’ school term of 180 days; and Whereas, it is tbe unanimous opinion of the Davie County Board of Education that the children of tbe county sbonld have the educa tional opportunity offered through a term of 180 days; therefore, be it resolved: 1. Tbat the Dav:e County Board of Education request tb e State Board of Education to provide suf ficient funds with which to operate the schools of the conntp 180 days. 2. That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Secretary of the State Board of Education. 3. That copies be furnished the newspapers of the county.

J a m e s C o o k P r o m o te d Keesler Field,' Miss,, April 26— Pvt. James C Cook, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cook, R. I. North Ca rolina was promoted to the grade of private first class this week and en rolled in the huge B-24 Liberator mechanics school at Keesbr Field. Private Cook, Jr*. promotion, and his selection for technical teaming, were results of the high scores he re ceived in bis Army mechanical ap* titude tests.

Hugh Norcross has Just told them he used Potter’s turpentine to clean BeSSietS coat. Now continue with JudytS story. J m ISABEL WAITTV/ . w H EA D C H A PTE R V III "You cleaned it for her? With turpentine?” “Uh-huh. Gave me a little. Don’t you remember, Potter? You were working on that painting of the Qua ker church and I asked if turpen tine would do the trick and you said it would and gave me some on my handkerchief.” "That right, Mr. Potter?” ‘‘Sorry, Norcross,” the artist said. "I recall no such incident.” Bessie’s face flamed. “I don’t see what difference it makes if my coat has a spot on it or not except to me. If my brother tried to clean it off I’m sure that was very kind of him. Aren’t all artists proverbially absent-minded? That’s where your old turpentine went. It wasn’t sto len at all. You used it up, Mr. Pot ter.” Albion didn’t answer her but he looked shocked as he edged away to the other side of the group back of Mr. Quincy’s chair. “There’s a question I’d like to ask,” Victor said. “How many of you have golf clubs here?” Hugh and Bessie admitted they’d brought theirs, and Aunt Nella re minded us that the minister had some by a significant nod. He had kept silent until the force of un spoken glances made him say: “That shot I made on the lawn last night. Wasn’t my club. Be longed to Mr. Norcross, I think. Didn’t bring my own downstairs yet. Why, Quade?” It would be a good time to search his golf bag, I thought; but Victor only shrugged again and said non chalantly, “Oh, nothing. Just won dered whose mashie might be miss ing. Saw one back of Judy’s hope chest in the church basement. It had blood on it.” Blood! You could hear the gasp that ran around our piazza and made everybody lean forward with a dazed expression. “See here, Mr. Quade,” Potter said in a voice that trembled, “you had no right to keep this to yourself.” “Yes, why didn’t you show us?” They were all talking at once. Hugh Norcross started down the steps. “The minister—Mr. De Witt there—just said he was using . my club on the lawn. Well, if he was, I can soon prove it. All my clubs are initialed. I’ll get my mashie.” “But, Hugh, where are you go ing?” Bessie cried. “The tent. Left my bag in the tent and forgot to take it in after ward. Don’t you remember?” If she did. Bessie looked pretty anxious. "Did you see any initials along side the—the blood?” Mr. Quincy banged the railing and made us all jump. Victor shook his head. We were all watching Hugh Norcross emerge from his tent without any bag. “Queer. They’re not in the tent. Must be upstairs after all.” Uncle Wylie, who’d been fiddling with his beloved pipe, now sprang up suddenly. “What you looking for, Mr. Norcross. I carried in those clubs. You’ll find ’em in your room behind the door.” “Are yours initialed, too, Miss Norcross?” Victor asked. Bessie inclined her head. ‘‘Hugh and I always mark everything.” "Then if the one you saw down at the church isn’t initialed, I sup pose it’s mine—that what you mean, Quade?” The minister fairly shout ed it. “Not necessarily. But if your mashie is missing—” "Exactly. Well, it isn’t. I ap point you a committee of one to go up to my room—the door is un locked—and bring down my mash- ie.” “Get it yourself, if you’d feel bet ter about it,” Victor said. The minister got up with great dignity and stalked up the stairs. Hugh raced upstairs after the clergyman, and presently the two men came down together. “There’s my mashie,” boomed the minister accusingly. Hugh carried one club. When Bes sie saw it she paled. Initialed neat ly at one end were the letters E. N. “Some one has used my club in more places than on the lawn, and if there’s, blood on it I hope to God there’s fingerprints, too.” Bessie clenched her hands. Her voice cut like ice. “My brother,” she said with unmistakable empha sis, “has a reputation which will put him above any circumstantial suspi cion. And if anyone has tried to smirch him by committing a crime with his club, rit—I’ll—” “Oh, dry up, Bess!” Hugh snapped. “No one’s accusing me of anything. Let them try it!” Mr. Quincy thumped his cane. Lily Reiiaal] giggled nervously^ while j S ' W M -U-REtEASE Bessie glared at her and said: “Tchl Teh!” Uncle WyUe drained ms pipe noisily, till Aunt NeUa nudged him. It was Albion Potter who brought us all back to normal. “ Look at that cloud effect,” he said. “There, that’s just what I was trying to put into my picture. Cumulus. My, I wish I’d bought some extra turpentine." Bessie turned on him, anger in her biting tone. “If you’re trying to remind us that your turpentine was used on my coat—why, I think you’re plain dirty mean.” Goodness, were they going to fight over such a smaU matter—at a time like this? Mr. Quincy beat a tattoo. “We can’t aU shout!” he shouted. “Let Mr. Quade continue.” Victor gestured from the foot of the steps. “My friends,” he began in a voice so imitative of President Roosevelt’s that even at that tense moment everybody recognized it and smiled, “let’s.have a quiet little fire side talk. We aU of us have things to explain. Take myself. You have only my word I’m who I claim I am. I had, perhaps, the best oppor tunity of anyone to commit this crime. Certainly I arrived at the crucial time. I can’t find my pub- Usher’s letter or any other creden tials to establish the fact I’m a well- known mystery writer—Vidor Quinn. And that title—'Murder on the Bluff’ —could anything be more pat? Now, I ask you. The club may be mine. The rest of the committee didn’t see it behind the sea chest. Perhaps I put it there. I don’t happen to have H ugh a n d B essie a d m itte d they h ad b rought th e irs. had the pleasure of knowing this Roddy Lane, but that can come up later.“We all of us come under the head of suspects. Take Mr. Quincy. That cane of his could kiU a man, and does he know how to use it? And he can manage to get aro.und quite a bit without that wheel chair. Can’t you, Mr. Quincy?” “Quite a bit.” Why, Thaddeus Quincy was actuaUy grinning like a gargoyle. “I try to do more and more each day. Soon I shall swim, and then—watch out! Go on, Quade.. Great stuff.” Victor’s mouth twitched, but he wasn’t smiling. “AU right, Mr. Pot ter. Paint doesn’t cover- an alibi. He went U town'; yes. And he lost a bottle of turpentine. Maybe he didn’t lose it—see? I hate to think what the police will do to aU of you. “Take Hugh Norcross. He ad mits he ran across the lawn—look ing for Bessie, he says. He cleaned a spot off his sister’s coat, he says. His mashie is missing. “And you, sir.” Victor indicated the clergyman. “You. could explain plenty, I imagine, and will do so when the < time comes—about that Lane fellow’s mistaking you for an ex-convict named Smith.” We all held our breath. “You’ve no right to give him the ‘third de gree, Mr. Quade!” shouted Aunt NeUa. VWyUe and I know all about him goin’ to prison. It was a cruel shame. Why don’t you speak, Rev erend?” So it was true, then. And Aunt NeUa had known it aU the time and never told me! Such a saccharine smile as Jonas De Witt threw at her. “In due time, my good woman.. In due time.” Then to the others he said: “It is true. I - I have a prison rec ord. It .seared rile, but I’m not ashamed of it. I suppose it will be aU raked up again. I 'can onl£ hope you succeed in solving this mystery before the press gets the story. Any more publicity—well, we can aU bear what we have to. I’U help you any way I can, Mr. Quade.” Was he a saint or a sanctimonious old hypocrite, puUing the wool over my aunt’s eyes? “For the moment my past history is my own. I can assure you it has nothing to do with this story. Noth ing whatever.” “Course It hasn’t,” scoffed Aunt Nella. “Even U the poor man did lose every penny when the Lane Bank blew up, and Roddy swiped—” “You keep stiU,” advised ,my un de, for once in his life. “Mind your own business.” “True, ain’t it? TeU ’em it’s true, Reverend.” “Yes, it’s true. When thait crook ed son of the Old Man’s cleaned out the bank, I lost everything I’d saved from years of hard work. But oth ers lost, too.” “Why, wasn't it insured?” Victor asked. "Nobody knows exactly, but what insurance there was didn’t cover Roddy’s supposed embezzlement. People couldn’t prove young Lane did steal the funds; he was never brought to trial because there wasn’t anything to go by. But the money was gone. The bank faUed. The Old Man shot himself.” “Roddy hid it in the Castle, if you ask me,” added Aunt NeUa. “Now, we’re getting somewhere!” Victor said. “How many of you people lost money in that fiasco?” Nobody spoke. Mr. Quincy was drawing imaginary circles on the porch with his nervous cane. “You can’t expect us to answer a ques tion like that, Mr. Quade. Practi- caUy admit a motive for killing Roddy Lane? You’re crazy!” “Not so crazy as you think. Why should an innocent person hesitate? A matter of record, isn’t it?” Uncle Wylie removed his pipe. "If ’twas, this might not have, happened. Only record is personal bankbooks. NeUa and me—we’ve got our’n. But the ledgers of the Lane. Bank van ished along with the funds. Nella’s nuts to say they were hidden in the Lane Castle. Authorities scoured the place high and low, at the time. Couldn’t find a thing. That was aft er the old man shot himself, which some thought, as didn’t know him, was tantamount to a confession. Might a-been at that—for his son. But Roddy got off scot free. No proof against him. Want to see our accounts? Joint they was.” “Later, Mr. Gerry. You weren’t afraid to speak up.” “Why should he be!” Auntie snapped. “The savin’s didn’t make him half so mad as the fight over the boundary line.” There she went—making things worse for poor old Uncle. The po- Uce would have a sweet time twist ing him around in their net. Not only the lost savings and the olc^ boundary feud, but the damning evi dence of bis having been intoxicat ed, the finding of his pipe at the scene of 'the ruined fish shack he’d threatened over and over, quite pub- licly, to burn down some day. Was Victor Quade also adding up these things to make harmless Uncle Wy- Ue Gerry into a kUler? But Victor struck everybody si lent when he said: “Mr. Gerry, you’re the only one here who knew this man Brown. Is that right?” That was correct, Aiuit NeUa only- having seen him a few times at a distance. "Of course," Victor went on, “he may be quite aU right. We’ve nothing to prove he didn’t go to Rock ville last evening and stay there,, or try to return to the Head and find the bridge out. But an old man—to go off like that and leave a Ught burning. You’re sure about the Ught, you two?” He looked from Mr. Quincy to me, and we both corrobo rated. “That there ear trumpet—he nev er went nowhere without it,” Uncle Wylie said. “Not even fishin’. Had it tied over his shoulder some'way.” “Suppose you describe the man. Was he taU?” “Not so very. Wam’t short, nei ther. Kinder medium, and stooped- like. Come to think of it, I usually saw him settin’—either on the bench in front of the shack or over on the rocks back of the church.” “WeU, go on. Was he Ught or dark? Old or young?” “Don’t rush me. You know he was old—as. old as the hUls. So old I thought he hadn’t oughter be livin* aU alone by himself and asked him why he did. But he answered as always, sticking that ear-thing into my face, and turning his sideways, ‘Hey? I’m a leetle hard o’ hearin’. Speak louder.’ You’d think he’d stepped out of some Yankee play, •The Old Homestead’ or ‘Way Down East.’ Character, he was. Old-tim er. Only other thing f ever heard him say was ‘Fishin’.’ Liked to fish off the rocks when , he first come.” “And when was that?” “Not so long ago. Just afore you tourists, warn’t it, NeUa?” “How sh’d I know? Nobody saw him come. Just saw a light there one night, and you went over and there he sat on the bench, twiddling his thumbs'and'blinkin’ at the sea,” Aunt NeUa replied. “Blinking, did you say?” “That’s what Wylie said—behind his thick- glasses. Wylie lit his pipe —” she broke off abruptly, as if the memory of the fishhouse and ■ her husband’s pipe were too painful to go on with. “Said he was poverty struck lookin’. Old and deaf and hunched up and quavery sort of. I said if he made a nuisance of him self before my guests I’d have hinr fired out of there, but he never did Squatter, you said, Wylie.” (TO BE CONTimmt Released by WeBtem K evspaper Union. DEMENTIA PRECOX D r. B arton The difference betweenJhe patiem who has dementia precox (schizo phrenia) and a normal individual is that the normal individual is a part of everyday life in school, the home and the outside world af fairs. The dementia precox individual on the other hand, whether he is natur- aUy breezy or quiet, lives within himself and is satisfied with and beUeves that his way of life is the right way. . The quiet or sensi tive type is serious, shy, easily embarrassed and with out a sense of humor. In school or college he never takes part in “rough games.” He may take ref uge in books instead of the compan ionship of others. Dementia precox seems to run in some famiUes. Early symptoms are changes in 'the emotions and behavior, the pa tient graduaUy losing interest in the things that formerly interested him. Then may foUow a loss of interest in famUy and friends, after which sUly talk or laughter may occur. There is lack of concentration and the patient jumps from one subject to another without a stop. In one case there wiU be delu sions, in another haUucinations of hearing and of sight may be pres ent. In the treatment of dementia pre cox, patients not helped by the usual methods were often helped by treat ment with insulin shock. Then fol lowed treatment by metrazol shock, and, just a Uttle later, electric shock. As some physicians have been los ing interest in the insulin shock method, it might be weU to study the results of insulin shock in 45 cases of dementia precox of various forms reported in Argentine Review of Neurology and Psychiatry, by. Dr. A. P. Quaranta. There were 16' cases in which the symptoms had been, present for six months or less, one year or less in 12 cases, and more than a year and a half in 17 cases.Of the entire number of cases in the three groups, 17 were cured. Of the first group (had disease less than six months), 10 of 17 were cured, three out of 12 in second group (had disease less than a year) and four of 17 of the third group (had disease more than a year and a half). The lessons we learn from the above are, (a) insulin shock cures many cases of dementia precox, (b) the earUer the insulin shock treat ment is given after the symptoms, appear, the better are the chances of a curie.• . » Food Essentials For Growing Child Some of the older1 men and women must look with astonishment at the' increasing variety of medical specialists. In their youth a physi cian took care of the needs of- his patients, even doing much of his own surgery unless it was surgery of the brain, the thyroid gland, or some other special organ. There were neurologists—nerve specialists —in those days but no psychiatrists (behavior speciaUsts). Later came baby speciaUsts — pediatricians, gland speciaUsts—endocrinologists, Uien allergists (finding special.sub stance causing hay fever, asthma, stomach upsetments) and lately geriatricians who treat , the special ailments of elderly people. Physicians have been apt to think' Uttle about children 5 to 15 years of age-for statistics show that there is less sickness at this age than at any other period of years of life. How ever, physicians are finding that many boys and girls of this age, de spite the fact that they are taUec than their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, are not as rug ged as they should be despite the increase in height. Why? Dr. Philip C. Jeans, Iowa City, in the Journal of the Ameiican Medical Association states, “We have done reasonably weU in' nutri tion for oui: babies but not so weU for children past infancy. We have not learned ourselves, nor taught parents, the proper nutrition to pre vent dental decay.” . That three food essentials are not being given to children in sufficient quantities may account for increase in the strength of body not being in proportion to the increase in height. These three essentials are (a) vita min D, (b) proteins—meat, eggs and fish, and (c) calcium or lime. . . . Q U ESTIO N BOX .Q .—Why, after retiring, would I have cramps in my toes and feet?

No secret police can In the night whisk us away, never again to be seen by those we love. Kone of us can be deprived by any party, state or tyrant of those pre cious civil liberties which oar linn and our courts guarantee. Mone of us can be persecuted tor practicing the faith which we found at our mother’s knee. None of us can be persecuted, tor tured or killed because of the fact Oat an accident of fate might have made us of the same race as the Nazarene. Ne American can <be placed by any party or government in a regi mented vise whidi takes from him or her either freedom of economic opportunity or political religious lib erty. What would the millions of unfor tunate men, women and children in Eunve give to be able to live and enjoy such a way of UtoT Wdlt In this war, those are the things in our Uvea whloh are in jeopardy. Our boys ar» dying to pre serve them for us. then we can do no less than to "say yes” and fill those war stamp albums.
