It can’t be bought with silver and gold, diam onds and pearls, rubles and gems. It Is so precious that the Psalmist prayed: ‘‘So teach us to number onr days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Thlsshould be the prayer of all men No one should waste his time. It can never be redeemed. Time lost is forever gone. Rehret It a you may, you can never recall it God may forgive you for wasting your time, when you cali upon Him honestly, patiently and sincerely, but He will nevar give it back to you. A moment lost, an hour lost, a day. a Iweek, a month, a year lost is lost forever. A life of time lost can never be regained. It is forever lost. It is astonishing ho the vast multitudes of people regard their time. So much of it is lost in fool­ ishness, nonsense, idleness, sin and wickedness^ Every moment and minute one lives in sin and the ser­ vice of the devil Is lost. Every hour one spends in reading sorry books and literature is lost. Every hour one spends in looking upon the screen at ungodly pictures, or spends in a dance ball, or at idle, unprofitable games, or at gambling or in foolish jesting, or in gossip and evil speaking, or in doing the wrong things, or in laboring at the wrong job which hurts humanity rather than helps, is time lost. Think of it. O, reader, dob’t waste your time! There is too 'much to do, too much that Is good and worth while, too much that is uplifting, elevat ing and ennobling, too much that God requires of us for us to waste our time. If men everywhere would do the right they would have no time to do the wrong. Souls need to be redeemed, therefore we can spend precious time helping them to God. Sick folks need our help­ ing hand, our prayers, our time and attention. Pilgrims need en­ couraging on their upward ourney toward. heaven. The blessed old Bible shouldbe read daily. Much time should be spent in prayer. We can give much time In writing good letters, articles, poems, etc., that are uplifting. Then if we have a good job. which is necessary to­ ward an honest livelihood, that re quires much time. Therefore we have no time to lose in sin if we will only spend it for God and for right. ______________ The Farm er's W ife Southwest fanners, hiring labor, ers imported from Mexico, have even been told by the Farm Se­ curity Administration what to feed them. According to .the FSA instruc­ tions, "butter is to be served at each meal. Bacon squares or meat in some form for breakfast six times per week. Eggs should be served every morning, and no limit placed on the number consumed. . . . A l ways give sweet potatoes at dinner and supper when they are reason­ able since the Mexicans like them. Serve cooked cereals only, not corn flakes. Usually try to have only corn bread at dinney; biscuits and white bread at supper. Sometimes white bread is required at dinner and supper as well. In the sum mer, iced tea or root beer should be served.” This is the first time, to our knowledge, the United States Gov ernment has told the farmer’s wiie what to « ok. 10% O F INCOME IS OUR QUOTA IN W A R M M H S Some Rat Story Eli Privette and his little dog Willkte are veteran fighters In Ire­ dell county’s war against rats. They are just naturally rough on rats and any rat that takes up at Mr. Priv- ette’s store and feed mill on the Wilkesboro road has to be smart to enjov life and good health. Saturday Eli and Willkie *‘smelt a rat” and went on the warpath as usual and thereby hang, a tale of Wilkie “spilling the beans” up Eli's breeches leg. Instead of chew, ing up Mr. Rat In the fitst round, as is bis wont, Willkie caused him to beat a strategic retreat right up Mr. Privetie’s pants leg. Right then the fun started in a three ring circus, Mr. Prevette he. gan yeiling for “ Berthie” but when Mrs. Prevette came and learned what the commotion was all about she screamed and ran in the bouse and slammed the door behind her. 'Don’t you come in this house with that rat, Eli Privette, she screamed. Finally Eli hunted up John R. Morrison. ’‘John,” be pleaded, 'help me get this danged rat out of my clothes." By that time the rat had gone up Eli’s back and was coming down inside by his sleeve. But John R. was scared too and Eli had to “ take the message - to Garcia” himself. *He grabbed the rat by the head with his othei hand and held on for dear life. The rat turned around and its tail emerged from Eli’s sleeve. “Get hold of that tail aud pull him out, John.” John pulled but their efforts were not coordinated. Eli couldn’t turn louse when John pulled and the tuil pulled off. But they rolled up the sleeve and eased him out—a dead rat if there ever was one. Eli and Willkie are really de- daring war on rats nnw, vowing vengeance and more vengeance a- gainst the vermin—after “ Berthie” puts some draw strings in the bot­ tom of Eli’s pantaloons.—States, ville Daily. Four M ore Years? The New Deal,- in its campaign ior a Fourth Term, apparently is trying to isolate the President from the faults of his administration in APO, foodstuffs, and the handling of the labor question. The President himself, returning from a country.wide tour, reported that the nation as a whole is far a head of Washington iu morale and war spirit. Washington, he said, is lagging in war spirit and under standing of what is nesessary to win the war. In other words he aligns himself with the people and against bis own brood. It is like a mother trying to. avoid criticism for the bad-rais- ing of her children by siding with the truant officer. Four more years of the NewDeal is not just four more years of Roose veil, hiwever. As Senator Styles Bridges, of New Hampshire, said recently “ Four more years of Roose- velt means four more years of Har­ ry Hopkins, with his spend and spend; tax and tax, and elect and elect policies operated from within the White House itself. It means four more years of Government by lame ducks . . . fo u r. more years of New Deal wasters spending reck. Iessly . . . four more years of plan, ned agricultural mismanagement which lias reduced America for the first time to hunger levels; four more years of crucifying small business, and above all, -four years of WPA over the world at the expense of the American taxpayers ” BACK UP YOURBOY B u y a n A d d itk tta l B m dTodsy Memo To Farm ers Some of us can remember when the Department ot Agriculture was dedicated to serving the farmer— not destroying him. And, remembering, it is difficult to believe the concoctions the eco­ nomic play-boys of that department today can put together to plague the farmer. We are indebted to the Washing­ ton Times-Herald for turning up this latest plan to re-make Ameri­ ca: “It seems the Bureau of Agricul. tural Economics wants to make 20 per cent of the rural population of the Uuited States move to' cities after the war, whether theruralites like it or not. F. F. Elliott, chief agricultural economist of the department, says the plan to c it post-war rural po­ pulation to 8 0 per cent of its pre­ sent level is in line with its pro­ jected ravamping of American eco­ nomy and possibly that of the en. tire world. "The outline fits snugly with re* CUMent reports that the planners have In mind creations of a hugely industrialized United States with Latin America supplying the food.” Elliott tentatively suggests that farm production be maintained “at such levels and in such patterns as to permit adequate diets adapted to the economic resources and food habits of the different income groups.” The blue.print he is drawing up would include an organized market system, controlled by the Govern ment, with fixed prices for tbe farmer, tbe marketman, and the consumer. We hope, of course, our farmer friends will not hear of Dr. Elliott and his plans to move them to the city —Union Reoublican. Let Us Pray (By Kev. Loy D. Thompson) Prayer offers us guidance. It is very clear to those who are fami liar with the example and teaching of Jesus that divine guidance is provided for all who care for it and seek it. It is one of the most cher­ ished promises of the Bible that tbe Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. It is refreshing to realize that we can know God as one who helps us, as one who befriends us, and as one who gnldes us by his unerring Spirit. We need guidance in our thinking. How many of us think right about God and man and duty and destiny? Unless we have supernatural guidance we shall un­ value God, over-estimate man, ig­ nore duty, and play with destiny. Divine guidance is of fundamental importance to us. Our need of guidance comes out in that oft sung hymn, Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah, pilgrim through this bar­ ren land; I am weak but thou are mighty; hold .me with thy power­ ful hand.” How it expresses the keen, urgent need of the heart and life for divine guidance! New truth is waiting for tbe man who knows how to find'it. New light is ready to shine upon the soul that understands. New dis coveries are in store for those who know. Our great problem is to see to it that the spirit is open to new knowledge, new light, new discov- ies. Sometimes we have to turn a way from man and face God as we seek bis guidance in prayer. Isaiah says: The Lord shall guide thee continually.” This promise is worth praying for. Bond Ad Sponsors Has it ever occurred to you that sponsors of W ar Bond advertise* ments are contributing to a vital part of tbe nation’s war effort The government depends upon the newspapers to put over the urge to buv war bonds, and the sponsors for advertisements make it possible for the newspapers to do their part In getting the messages to the A. merican people as no other medium of publicity can do. In tbis connection we quote the following editorial from the “ Meek. Ienburg Times: “ The merchants of our comma nity have been very liberal in ad vertising W ar Bond drives. So have the manufacturers. When they spend bard earned money to put over a drive for the govern ment and for the community they don’t get it back in ten years with monetaiy interest. “Our natural reaction to war bond advertising is to think about whether we can afford more bond or not—of course that is the primary purpose of the advertisements. So read the sponsor’s name on each ad. Read them so that you can give a nod of rcecognition to those ma. nufacturers and business firms who are digging in their pockets to make the bond sales in our town a success.. The government sends this news­ paper many bond advertisements to be published with a note to obtain a sponsor, or group of sponsors for tbe ad. Naturally every newspaper thinks of the merchants first. How­ ever, ever> citizen should drop by and put his name on the sponsor’s list for one of these ads. “It is just as much John Jonest and Jim Smith’s business to help sell bonds as it is anyone’s.” —Ex. Scooped H alf - Million Dollar A irport Unused At Aida, Okla., a town of a few thousand people, $500,600 of Federal funds was recently put into an air­ port on which not a single airplane, except a bomber off coarse, has been reported to land. One wonders wby the American people bad to get their first news of our attack on Auttu, in the North Pacific — from Tokyo, Washington quickly confirmed the news, o f course, bat it didn't taste as well after tbe Japs bad used the can- opener first. Oar Navy and War Departments have come in for a lot of criticism because of their stinginess, with the news. Berlin has choked a lot of it out of them for us, and it is not calculated to inspire the confidence that we are getting all that is com ing to as. Maybe if the attack on Attu turned out to be unsuccessful it could be set down as an unimport­ ant skirmish—that’s the kind of rea­ soning some are applying to the car- rent tardiness, and it doesn’t help m atters any. One can hardly understand that information that could possibly be helpful to the enemy, should be with held no matter how bangrv the pub­ lic. But here was something the Japs knew had already happened, and we do hope it happened in plenty and silence in Washington aboat it appears anything bat desirable. It establishes the enemy as better at factual reporting, even when the news is detrimental to him, than oar own government. AndthBtconfaseK After all we are in tbis war to gather.

But let’s not get het up about tbis delinquency.

If he ever learned how to peel potatoes, it was at some boy’s camp and came about because he was very, very hungry.

But Bill Jones'and Ezra Smith will be on hand when he runs for office, and they’ll vote against him tike all forty. Trouble Is there won’t be enough of them He’ll be elect, ed and continue to live at tbe top, whether he rates it or not.

TH E DATIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N. C. W h o ’s N e w s T h i s W e e k By Delos Wheeler Lovelace I Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. [MEW YORK.—It was a good, hop, skip and jump that carried the amphibious forces of Rear Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner onto the „ , .

H is T u r b u l e n t S e a 0^ial'.I a r e that much nearer Tokyo and the day of reckoning which the admiral has been helping to shape since Pearl Harbor. Turner has spent 19 years on the uneasy, untrustworthy bosom of the sea since he finished Annapolis in 1908. He was married two years later, so his wife has been a navy widow almost half the time. He is 57 years old, has a DSM and was bom in Oregon. Four years ago the admiral had a fine, close look at Tokyo which may help on the cheerful day an American task force goes boiling past Boso peninsula. He was a cruiser captain then, and the cruiser had just home home all that was mortal of the late Ambassador Hiroshi Saito, dead in the United States. The em­ peror shook Turner’s hand and expressed undying friendship, but didn’t add that his fingers were crossed against December 7, 1941. Already Turner has squared ac­ counts somewhat. His were the plans on which our invasion of Guadalcanal was based. He bet that, he would catch the Japanese napping there and he did. The first convoy unloaded men, guns, supplies before the enemy sea force discovered what was up. Later, when we lost four cruisers, the issue was nip-and-tuck but then we caught two bevies of Japanese warships with their sampans down and after that even Tojo agreed that Turner had called the turn.

Now in Russia, older than Sheridan, younger than Jackson, Konstantin Rokossovsky climbs to a full generalship over crumpled Nazi armies. Rokossovsky is just rounding 38. In the first weeks of the war he rose from colonel to major-general. This because of a heady, stubborn defense that stalled the first Nazi blitz for a month back of Smolensk. Ten weeks later he set going Rus­ sia’s first counter-offensive and el­ bowed the Germans so solidly that Stalin moved him up a notch. In last year’s bleak fighting before Moscow the Germans out­ numbered Rokossovsky three to one. Just the same he was able to put 200 tanks, 29,000 enemy out of action in October alone. This year he broke the Nazis at Stalingrad. His employment of cavalry has been notable and once was inspired. This was when he rushed cossacks in massed raids behind the German rear, a disruptive triumph in the great tradition begun by Greek Phil­ ip and Alexander and kept going by Parthian Surena, Roman Belisanius and, to skip a lot of centuries and a lot of good cavalrymen, Sheridan and Jeb Stuart, another boy wonder. Rokossovsky is big, handsome, with a wide, full mouth, a broad, untroubled forehead and a right eye­ brow that cocks higher than the left, maybe in astonishment at his own rise.

We must have an army of at least 8,200,000.*’ He said we must put a legal curb on absentee workers. Patterson has cause to be quite satisfied with his personal record. He quit a prosperous law practice for a federal judge­ ship, resigning this when he was asked to take hold under Secre­ tary of War Stimson three years ago. This is the second war that he has gotten into. He finished the last one a major, with a Distinguished Serv­ ice cross and one wound stripe. He also saw service on the Mexican border. Now he bosses a new gen­ eration of our fighting men from, a heavy desk in Washington, but he flies his own plane, and in a pinch might do active duty again for all that he is 52. He is a trim 52, with a long, stub­ born upper lip, and the high nar­ row forehead that suggests percipi- ence. His intimates say he is fast- moving, concise. Covered by a Sherman tank, German prisoners prepare to move on after surrendering themselves to AlUed'forces in North Africa. A short time later aU organized enemy resistance had ceased in all sectors, and an estimated total of 150,000 German and ItaUan troops had been taken prisoner, together with their commander, Col.

A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BY THE LE A D IN G WAR CORRESPONDENTS Speak American, Lady B y L u c ie K in s o lv in g (W N U Featine—Through special arrangement w ith WomantS Bomo Companion.) AU over the world, the American soldier likes a joke, even when war puts him in a field hospital. To keep him happy, the American Red Cross girls of tte hospital recrea­ tion groups help a lot. I was the first of Uiese girls to go to North Africa. “I’d give a month’s pay to talk to an American girl,” confided one dis­ consolate boy. “This morning when I stepped up to a neat UtUe French number and said, 'Bonne jawer, comment alesse vu’, she breezed right past me! No American dame would treat me that way.” It’s being unable to make them­ selves understood by the feminine sex over there that’s one of the hardest things for our soldiers in North Africa, I found. I interpreted for an hour and a half to a French lady for an American officer. His tacUcs were' Anglo-Saxon directness, hers were GaUie evasion. At the end of that time the gentleman had no idea whether foe lady was amused or merely contemptuous. This incident gives you only a sUght idea of foe varied ways that we Red Cross recreaUon workers try to make ourselves useful. There was a rumor that a very great American general had said a year ago he would never “have wanted women mixed up in a war,” but after he saw what Red Cross workers accomplished in England he definitely wanted them in Africa and right away. Greeted by Soldiers. When our Red Cross group docked in North Africa on foe first sunny day we had had for two months, we were greeted by shouts of wel­ come from foe soldiers. “Speak American, lady,” they cried as they had in London where they had stopped us on foe street just to hear foe home twang.As we drove up foe roadway, foe populace of varying races and re­ ligions who had learned American­ isms fast, held up two fingers in foe Victory salutation, hoping this would bring them chocolate and “chue-gomme.” Some faces wore doubtful expres­ sions, mystified by our women’s uni­ forms, but when we came closer a fight broke through. “Voila La Croix Rouge,” they shouted enthusiastical­ ly. “Vive La Croix Rouge.” Imagine what a thrill that gave us! First Red Cross Club in Africa. That veiy night we opened our first American Red Cross club in North Africa. Only a few hours before it had been a bamlike empty automobile showroom. But Al Fink, Herb Siffert and Jim Sneider, three of our enterprising field directors, had worked such wonders that as I played foe piano for foe soldiers to sing I heard one boy blurt out, “Gee, this sure is like home!” This was in Oran, Algiers, not many days after our troops ar­ rived. Since then in our Oran club hundreds of men have found “a home away from home.” In addition to the piano, we have radios, games and at night entertainment by army musicians. At first we had difficulty provid­ing snacks for the boys, but we found we could fill in foe hungry spaces with mandarins and dates. Our next job was a tough one— to organize a Red Cross hospital for which our six months’ supply of everything was lost. I felt like Christopher Robin, for I spent my time going down “to the end of the town,” getting warehouses open where there were priceless Red Cross stocks of cigarettes, tooth paste, I brushes and shaving cream for foe wounded. Living Problems. Our personal problems of living are easier than we had imagined, as women in a man’s army on a battle front, but they are extremely incongruous. Unbelievable luxuries are mixed with discomforts. We can have coiffures that “do things for you” but no hairpins. We have ex­otic tropical fruits but no pasteurized milk. FinehandmadeshoeSare in shop windows, but no stockings. We live in a typical French house sur­ rounded by palms, golden cascades' of mimosa, and giant tree ferns. We have become increasingly resourceful since that hot day In September when, loaded down with musette bags, steel hel­ mets and gas masks, a group of us Red Cross girls hitched up the gangplank at a troopship. Our quarters were comfortable, on a very crowded ship, and we learned our first lesson then—the chivalry of the United States army. We were faced with hundreds of homesick and seasick men. I found a tin-pan piano and started playing. By the end of foe evening foe crowd was booming. ^TOE^SCRE S m a r t Released Iqr W estern Newspaper Union.

RKO faces the same problem in “Behind the Ris­ing Sun.” Fred Giermann, character actor, has an odd reason for wanting the war to end. “I haven’t been out of a Nazi uniform as an actor for the last seven months,” he explains. “Five Graves to Cairo,” with Fran- chot Tone and Anne Baxter, is his latest. You’ll see most of the cast of that swell picture, “Casablanca,” in “The Conspirators” ; Humphrey Bo­ gart, Paul Henreid, Sydney Green- street and Helmut Dantine all have leading roles. Ann Sheridan has foe leading feminine role. 1 VK Bill Stern, whose “News of the Day’’ newsreel is a favorite with moviegoers, is happy because now he can make predictions on the air. His NBC Sports Newsreel has been a Saturday feature, and he felt that even an expert couldn’t predict the outcome of the following Saturday’s games without sticking his chin out. Now he’s broadcasting on Friday evenings, which is better. — *— Albert Parker was a noted direc­ tor, until he lost his eyesight seven years ago as a result of an auto­ mobile accident. Recently Director Frank Tuttle, shooting a street scene in Prague for “Hostages," decided to use a blind man with a seeing-eye dog. He thought of his friend Park­ er, who thus, for a brief time, will once more take part in foe making of a motion picture. Black-haired Mona Berle was foe first extra hired by Producers Wil­ liams Pine and Thomas when they began making pictures for Para­ mount nearly three years ago. They’ve found a spot for her in every picture they’ve made since_ currently she’s in “Tornado,” which stars Chester Morris and Nancy Kelly. “She’s good luck to us,” say foe two Bills. Private Harry Keaton of Fort Greely, Alaska, thought that the pretty girl he asked to dance with him was one of the civilian nurses. Some time afterward he learned that she was Marjorie Reynolds, who’d danced with Fred Astaire in "Holly­ wood Inn” and teamed with Bing Crosby in “Dixie.” By that time Marjorie had moved on to the next camp in her Alaskan tour.— *— Sol Lesser, producer of “Stage Door Canteen,” feels that the pub­ lic ought not to pay an extra pre­ mium for quality picture entertain­ ment, at least for the duration, ac­ cording to a recent announcement. So, although “Stage Door Canteen” could undoubtedly run on and on at advanced prices, if released only in key - cities at first, and shown twice a day, it will be made available for general runs as soon as it is re­ leased. “This is a soldier’s love story,” says Mr. Lesser, “and it belongs to the public.” — *— ODDS dND ENDS—Claudette Colbert spent her No, 27 shoo stamp on a pair of IUggage tan pumps—said she chose them because they’d harmonize with any other color . . .

S m a r t H a ts A r e B e in g M a d e o f S e e r s u c k e r a n d O t h e r C o t t o n s By CHERIE NICHOLAS \ 'T'HAT gingham, chintz, chambray, pique and other cottons are be­ing made up in utilitarian dresses, blouses, pinafores and sunbonnets is no news, but gingham, chintz, cham­ bray, seersucker, and a host of other cottons are also being made up into the choicest of millinery confections —’tis news that’s big news. This use of humble cottons by mil­liners is about the most exciting thing that is happening in the fash­ ion world today. Add to this pro­ gram of cottons for hats the fact that gloves, bags and neckwear are made of the same materials, and you will agree that these new and unusual ensembles are adding a thrilling chapter to the current style story. The smart postillion made of glazed chintz shown to the left be­ low proves that neither chintz nor, for that matter, any other cotton, from henceforth can be regarded as belonging exclusively to the decora­ tor or to the designers of housecoats and pinafores as we have been led to believe. This most amazing hat, trimmed with flowers as you see and adding long gloves to point up the costume, certainly marks the dawn of a new era when it comes to the use of smart cottons. Another cotton designed to go to your head is simple, ordinary seer­ sucker. When plaid cotton seersuck­ er appears as a stovepipe hat flaunt­ ing a matching ascot, as shown cen­ tered above one begins to sense what we have been missing all these years in failing to recognize the style possibilities that exist in wash fab­ rics which up to this season we had thought belonged only to a workaday world. Look at the adorable bonnet and glove set (lower right) of gay plaid gingham with bands of dainiy bead­ ing run through with narrow rib­ bons, and you will have discovered the reason why they are saying in fashion circles that "gingham girls will be belles of the summer sea­ son.” The long matching gloves com­ plement the bonnet with high drama. Here is a twosome that has charm- plus about it, and to think that sim­ple gingham did itt And, wovdd you believe it, milliners are even using mattress ticking for hats that hold one spell-bound because of their novelty and their air of high-style distinction! For the neat little postillions and other smart suit hals some milliners are using black, navy or bright col­ ored shantungs successfully. A dev­ astating little veil gives the feminine accent;You are apt to see most remark­ able and versatile combinations in the new ensembles, such as cotton plaid hat partnered with a bouton­niere made of the same check or perhaps a breton of calico or ging­ ham, or what have you, with a matching gilet that has a huge bow tie at the throat. Another cotton that clicks in mil­ linery is white organdy. Loads of organdy frills and pleatings and ruches are massed on as attractive summer hats as one may ever hope to see. The ensemble idea is car­ ried out with organdy frills on gloves, or perhaps a jabot of the frilled organdy. Then there's white pique that is being used in effective and versatile ways all through the hat program: Smart, indeed, are pert little pique sailors with pique flowers. Tiny cal- ots formed of pique petals, with sprightly trimmings of starched pi­ que, also hold interest. B deased by Western Newspaper Union. New Dinner Dress Here is exactly what we are com­ ing to in the way of new-type din­ ner gowns made of enchanting cot­ tons. The trend in these evening dresses that are made of cottons is to stress simplicity. The best of it is that a frock of this type makes every woman look her prettiest, even though it doesn’t cost a lot. This charming dinner gown tops a glazed chintz skirt with a dainty lingerie blouse trimmed with green velvet bands and a bow, These Items Offer Yon Somellimg New in Pnrses The white plastic handbag is news.' Ask to be ,shown the various types that go to make up the new collections. Black faille bags are carried with afternoon dresses, and the pouch types are especially smart, as are intricately worked un­ derarms. There are large briefcase effects in black or brown patent leather designed large enough to car­ ry important papers and reports of those engaged in war work. Shop­ ping bags for women who do their own marketing are made of strong cord crochet. White tToppeif Is Good From Morning to Night It does not matter whether your dress be a street-length formal black, or a summery print, a casual wool pastel or a tailored pique, if you wear with it one of the new white “toppers” teamed with a pert little white hat, you will look as if you stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine. These white top­ pers of corduroy, or heavy white slip­ per satin, or flannel are scheduled for a tremendous vogue this sum, mer. Sleek lines Dress designers are working toward a slimmer, sleeker line in dresses and coats as one way of conserving material. The results are all that can be hoped for and then some in the way of chic and grace and charm. The outlook is for re­ fined types adroitly styled with long waistlines, princess effects with shirrings through the midriff, or coat dresses that achieve variety through versatile button fasteningr designed to slenderize. FIR ST -A ID fo th » A ILIN G H O U SE by Roger B. Whibncn Boger B. Wbitman—WNU Features* Ton may not be able to replace worn or broken household equipment. Thie is w ar. Government priorities come first. So take care of w hat yon have . . . as well as yoa possibly can. This column by the homeown* er*s friend tells you how. Painting Fire Escapes Question: I have large fire escape platforms which we use as porches on my three-family brick house. I have to paint them, but the paint chips easily. Last year I gave them a coat of best bridge paint and then a coat of best outdoor green paint. In no time rust began to.show. What can I use that will last? Answer: Paint is apt to chip if the metal has many coats of paint on it. If this is the case, remove the paint down to Uie bare metal. This can be done by burning with a blowtorch. When the metal is clean and free of rust, apply a coat of good quality red lead; allowing at least a week for thorough drying. Finish with two coats of top qual­ ity floor paint,: the kind used for porches. If you are not familiar with the use of a blowtorch, get someone with experience to do this part of the job. OU Burner Finish Question: An oil burner used In a living-room has a dark brown, rough finish, and always looks dusty. What kind of paint can I use on it that will be glossy and not so much of a dust catcher? Answer: There are not many kinds of paint that withstand the heat of an oil burner. Aluminum paint will do it, but because of the priorities, it may be difficult to ob­ tain. Anotheristheblackfinishthat is used on boilers. Whatever you use, the first step must be the thor­ ough cleaning of the surface with something that will take off the re­ mains of the finish: a solution of three pounds of washing soda in a gallon of water, for an example, fol­ lowed by thorough rinsing. -I Wherever there are doors children will swing on them, hence the sag. Photo demonstrates the method of plying the screwdriver in taking-the sag out of a door. - Noise Between BoomsQuestion: I have a mean prob­ lem: Two bedrooms with a connect­ ing door. In one bedroom two peo­ ple sleep, and one person in the oth­ er. It seems that no matter how low the two people think they are talking it disturbs the person in the other room. What can-be done with that door to deaden sound? Answer: I presume the door is not used. If so, much of the sound can be cut down by nailing a sheet of insulating wallboard on both sides of the door framd. Sticky Varnish Question: A year ago I put two coats of varnish on my linoleum, but it has not dried, and has turned • dark color. How can I get it off? Answer: Any tarnish remover that you use would eat into the lino­ leum and destroy it. The safest way to take out the varnish, although it is tiresome would be with fine steel wool, moistened with turpentine. The reason why the varnish did not dry is probably because wax in the linoleum was not first removed. Dry Well Backs Vp Question: In our cellar floor we have an opening which drains into a dry well. • After heavy rains this sometimes backs up into the cellar. What would you suggest to over­ come this trouble? Answer: If the drain is not vital­ ly necessary, fill the hole with con­crete. Or you cotdd install • back­ up sewer valve in the drain line. Your plumber can supply this.. Worm Holes Question: Are so-called worm holes iii woodwork actually made by a worm, or are Ihey the work of an insect? Answer: The.most usual culprit Is the powderpost beetle; eggs laid on the surface turn into worms that work into the wood. Later these worms develop into beetles, which eat their way cfut and make the hues in doing so. HMStHOLP m i M OS... Children Need Good, Wholesome Foods At Their Parties i i i i i Simple parties help make chil­dren at ease with their friends, do a lot toward laying the foundations for their social success. Watch them enjoy playing host and hostess as this little pair is doing. How do you rate with your young­ er generation?

I'm very proud I can do that. I would hate to be one of those boys that can’t do anything to help their country, or are afraid I’ve seen quite a bit of England, and I can say it’s very beautiful country. In fact, it’s some of the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen, as much as I have traveled. I think we are in one of the most beautiful spots in England. We have a large lake here and lovers' lanes galore, but we don’t have the girls to go with them We just walk through them and think of the wonderful times we have had and the ones we are going to have. I think all the boys feel the same way I do. You never saw a livelier bunch of boys in your life. You would never tbink there's a war going on here AU we want to do is get it over with, and the sooner the better for us. Don’t worry about its; we will give them all we've got and that’s a lot. My only wish is that some of the peo­ ple back there were over here with us, esneciallv some of those that don’t want to work and furnish us equipment to fight with. They’d soon learn just exactly what warts. Those people that go on strike ev­ ery few days for more money, should have to come over here and fight for awhile, and then they’d wake up to the fact that we are in a war against a man that maket his people work for him for nothing. They don’t get hatdly anything to eat. much less to wear and no mov­ ies to go to every night. I want to meet some of those people when I get back. That’s the only trou­ ble with our country right , now. There’s too mnch greed. AU thiy want is plenty of morey. The highest paid man over here gets ; ust about what the lowest paio man over there gets. They never complain, either. They are Iivrng in luxury over ther . compared to what these people ate duiug. I’m atraid you folks are going to have to wake up a little before this wat is over. After thousands of your sons, boy friends and ho-hands are killed, maybe something will be done about it. All the boys are willing to fight and lay down their lives to keep onr country free, but they can’t do it without the help of the folks back home. I received The Davie Record yes­ terday and certainly enjoyed it. think that article, “ First Lieut's. Miraculous Escape From Death,’’ should be published all over the world. Your triend, M. SGT.

I could see Victor passing the steps of the Church as I came along­ side the gruesome body in the charred place where the fish house had been. He wasn’t going to .the basement then. Now, he was making for the ledge above Pirate’s Mouth. I could see him throwing himself at full length. Two others lay down beside him. They got up and the rest of them lay down. Wbat had they found? What had they found? I came up to where Potter and the minister and Hugh were still lying on the ground, as Victor turned and saw me. “So you’ve seen it? She knew it jvas there. She thinks you put it Jhere!” "What, In heaven’s name?” The others came scrambling to their feet. “Say that again, Judy,” Hugh said. “You mean Miss Ken­ dall thought Quade put something down there?” Gosh, he was mad. Hugh pulled me away and stood back himself, as if he expected Victor to push one of us over the cliff. I saw I had pulled another boner—and against Victor Quade, the one person I trusted! He smiled faintly. “Let’s have it, Judy. Say just what you did be­ fore. She knew it was there? What?” “I don’t know. Something—some­ thing she thought you knew was there—but, for reasons of your own, perfectly good reasons, of course, kept still about.” Was I making it 1 worse? I went over to the rock and lay down and got a look at what I can never forget to my dying day. Poor Lily Kendall lay sprawled in the far cleft of the Pirate’s Mouth. Sven I, who have heretofore seen practi­ cally no death at close range, knew she was gone. Her eyes stared sight­ lessly at the deep blue sky. Her body, too large to slide through the hideous rocky maw, had stuck gro­ tesquely. But the horrible thing—! A wave of nausea crept over me as I realized that the scarf around Lily’s milk-white neck was blue! Above me I could hear Hugh’s voice grow strident, accusing Victor. Others chimed in. Victor himself dragged me to my feet. “Go back, dear. Go with Bessie. We’ve got to get past you.” He turned around and cried, “Here, Norcross, make yourself useful. TcQte these two girls back to the inn and keep ’em there.” “And give you a chance to destroy some evidence! I guess not. You tied that scarf around her throat and you know it.” “What scarf?” Bessie’s haunted eyes sought mine. I shook my head. “It’s blue; A sort of French blue.” Bessie turned and ran. The men were already making their way into the Pirate’s Mouth, all of them, except the minister. Victor, Unde Wylie, Hugh and Potter were all on that narrow shelf. I lay down oii the rock and watched. The nausea had gone, but it returned a moment later when Mr. Quincy’s wheels hit my feet. “What the hell’s going on down there?” he demanded, thumping the rock. “It’s Miss Kendall. She fell over!” “Keep by me, child,” Quincy said, shaking his head at De Witt. “Don’t get near the edge again—with any­ body.” He’d whispered the last two words, but the minister wasn’t pay­ ing any attention. I saw him hold down a hand, and presently Uncle Wylie’s head ap­ peared. Hugh came next, then Pot­ ter and Quade, the last without his coat. The questions Thaddeus Quincy hurled at those silent men! '•‘Did she fall? How did it happen? Speak, man, can’t you?” Let the others answer questions. Victor walked with me. “Now, we’ve got to do something. Break in the Lane boat house, I’d suggest." “There’s an idea,” Potter quaked. Uncle Wylie, for all his lean years, kept well ahead of everybody. He was hurrying to find a second suit­ able covering for the body, but he paused to call over his shoulder: “Judy, better come along with me. This ain’t no fitten comp’ny for a young girl.”“He’s right.” Hugh dropped back a step and shouted, “I’ll stay with her, Mr. Gerry!” Then he noticed Bessie wasn’t with us. “Where’s my sister?” he cried, his face full of terror. “Keep your shirt on,” Quincy an­ swered. “Got too thick for her. She took it on the lam back to the inn.” Hugh grabbed me by the arm and held me back while the others went on. I didn’t like it. I wanted to hear everything, and also, I’m not ashamed to confess, to keep with the crowd. If Lily Kendall could be killed for nothing by this—this ma­ niac, how much more might he wish to get rid of me, who’d seen his handwriting, still had five hundred of his dollars and the diamond ring, for all he knew. I began to puzzle about Lily’s death—her suspicions of Victor Quade. He did have the ring. He had told me to put the money back in the drawer. He was, after all, a stranger. And now the title on his typewriter came flash­ ing across my anguished brain— Murder on the Bluff! Was that just a coincidence? Or was he really a killer, so daring that he even her­ alded his crimes? AU the while Hugh was talking to me, while the men went in a body across to the Castle drive. Hugh and I kept on behind them, and once I quickened my pace to catch up. “Judy, you don’t think that scarf being tied around her throat means that I strangled the poor woman. You know me better than that, don’t you? I couldn’t bear it if—if you suspected that—” He found difficul­ ty in going on; his face was in tor­ ment. “I swear that scarf—the spot “ I ’ll stay with her, Mr. Gerry.” on my sister’s coat—the fact'that my golf dub was found—” The men had broken into the boat house ^easily enough, via the pane De Witt had smashed with Hugh’s club that night on the lawn. AU they had to do was reach in and un­ lock Uie garage window. But once inside the connecting door was quickly thrown open to reveal two rowboats and a canoe—all with worse holes in them than Uncle Wy­ lie’s!“Well, gentlemen, does this teU you anything?” Victor asked the lot of us as we gazed, horrified, at the holes in the boats and canoe. “Looks like there’s a crazy man hidden around here somewhere,” De Witt said, pickiiig up a door­ stop. “I think we ought' to arm ourselves and continue our search.” “You mean—the Castle, too?” Pot­ ter’s hand twisted nervously. Then he began hunting around for a weap­ on, finally tugging at an oar. A paint brush suited him better. Some of them picked up rocks from outside. The minister opened a vicious-looking jackknife. I didn’t feel too badly when Victor asked if Mr. Quincy and I would watch the exits. There were only the drive­ ways and the sea ahead, but what should we do if a madman came leaping at us? “You needn’t fear,” Victor said, divining my thoughts, as he so often had during this mutual experience of murder. “I’m sure we’ll find no one.” “Queer how you should be sure,” Hugh flung at him. “I’m not for­getting you knew where to find that poor woman.” “Better not say too much, Nor­cross.” Victor’s teeth gleamed in a half smile. Why, they might have been exchanging pleasantries! “Wasn’t my scarf around her neck. Did your sister ever find that blue one of yours?” , “Damn you, Quade! Leave my sis­ ter out of this. Do you think she strangled the Kendall woman?” “I think nothing. I’m only telling you to keep quiet—better for you in the end, the less you say.” “Why damn your dirty' insinu—” Victor came out of the boathouse and entered the garage. I wheeled Mr. Quincy dose to the door, be­ side where Hugh stood scowling and sullen, but he forgot his anger as the men examined Roddy Lane’s car; ........~ “Not a drop of gas in her!” De Witt discovered. “Bet Lane had some' when he drove in. Knew there wasn’t a fill­ ing station this side of Rockville,” Potter added. “Remember how the fire burned last night?”- Victor asked. “No won­ der we heard the com.bustion. But that wouldn’t account for the bridge.” “You think the kiUer drained the tank and threw the gasoline on the fish house?” “Not on the fish house, De Witti On the body inside.” Unde Wylie, stuck his head in the door. He had a piece of sailcloth under his arm. “Mrs. Gerry says to teU you lunch is ready,” he said. Nobody moved. “Well, I’ve told you, so ’t ain’t my fault if every­ thin’s cold. This do for down yon­der?” Victor nodded, and my uncle start­ed off. “Here, waitl Don’t go alone, Uncle Wylie!” I shouted. “He’ll be O. K., Judy. Go with him if you wish,” Mr. Quincy said, holding up his cane. “I’ve got this.” “Will he be all right—alone, Mr. Quade?” “I don’t see why not. Just left there, didn’t we? He’U be a lot saf­ er than we will.” To see the glance Victor gave our crew made me shake in my boots. They emerged from the garage and closed the door behind them. The Lane stables, perhaps I ought to have explained, were fairly new, having been buUt on the site of the old barn, the boat house and ga­ rage adjoining forming a rambling three-in-one structure which consid­ erably annoyed Aunt Nella, as it hid part of the picturesque stone castle from the inn. I began wheeling; Mr. Quincy slowly up and down the drive, one eye on my Unde Wylie approaching the perilous Pirate’s Mouth, the oth­er on the castle doors. Quincy talked a blue streak, his tired old eyes searching the sea­scape. “Don’t see why somebody doesn’t turn up,” he said, pointing bis cane toward town. “We’re off the beaten path.” “But tourists—holiday hell-bent- ers.” “That’s just it. Nothing to go hell­ bent over; no attractions Uiat bring the mob, like Nantasket and Re­ vere. Bathing’s no good here, ei­ ther. Rockville’s the place. Got a fair beach along there. Ours,” I indicated the tiny strip from the foot of the bluff to the woods back of our old barn, “too rocky—even with bathing shoes.” “S’pose lots of folks are sleeping it off after the wild night before the Fourth. Never saw such a quiet place.” “Don’t make me laugh! Did you say quiet, sir? Perhaps it’s because so few people know there is a Pi­rate’s Head. No houses on the Neck. Natives never come here except to seU milk and truck.” There wasn’t a sign from the Cas­ tle, save occasionally a form at a window, which we decided was one of our party. Unde Wylie disap­ peared from sight, and I dosed my eyes and silently said a little prayer for him. In no time I saw him climbing back again, coming toward us. I turned the wheelchair down the drive to meet him. “Your Aunt NeUa’s gonna be hop- pin’ mad,” he grinned. He rested a moment to learn what the men were doing. His kind old face so­ bered as he scratched his grizzled head, a gesture he indulged when upset. “What you think, Mr. Quincy?” he asked., ’‘Who is this Quade fel- ler, anyhow, Judy?” , We both tried to answer. “I think Roddy Lane did it,” Mr. Quincy said, “and blew the bridge up after him.” “No, you don’t. He couldn’t have strangled poor Lily,” I said. Uncle Wylie looked at me in sur­ prise. “Who said she was stran­ gled? Hit on the head, she was. That scarf didn’t do no damage.”I clutched at him. “Are you sure?” “Sartin, I’m sure.” He l'it his pipe, offering tobacco to Mr. Quincy, who never smoked. “Bump on her head big as an aigg.” “Then maybe Norcross didn’t do it.” “Norcross? Nope. That sister of his wouldn’t leave him be long enough.” Somehow I felt a load lifted. I didn’t want to think Bessie’s broth­ er guilty of aU those hideous things. ‘*His club,” Quincy reminded us. “Gerry, how come there’s no boats on the cove coming over here, no picnickers?” Uncle Wylie looked longingly at the Castle. I knew he was dying to join the search, buf with a sigh he set his feet toward home. “Noth­ing doing here on the Fourth. Never is. Fireworks at Rockville tonight, though. Promised to take my wife. Better leave this business to the oth­ ers and trail along, hadn’t you, Ju­ dy?" I knew I should go with him. What was I being paid for? But curiosity is more compeUing than clam chow­ der. Besides, there came one of our guests. It was Albion Potter. He seemed reUeved and said so. (TO BE CONTINUED/ ■ -------------IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By HABOLD L .

PETER COMFORTS PERSE* CUTED CHRISTIANS IjESSON T E X T -I P eter 3:13-17; 4-.12-16; 5:6-10. GOLDEN TEXT—For It Is better, U the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well­ doing. than for evil-doing.—I P eter 3:17. What shaU we do? Where shaU we turn? Is there no help for us? Such are the natural and understandable cries of those who bear the heavy heartbreak of persecution. God’s Word has the answer, for from the very beginning the followers of Christ have had to meet that prob­ lem. Peter is especially the apostle of comfort, and the portion now before us is rich in helpful instruction. His word to persecuted people is five­ fold. I. Do Not Be Afraid—Christ Is Lord (3:13-17). By doing good the Christian will escape much suffering (v. 13), but if even then it comes, he is not to be afraid (v. 14). He is to sanctify Christ in his heart, that is, fully recognize the holiness of Christ and all that He is and can do for him. This is to be done in his heart. That means the exercise of fuU faith in Christ the Lord as th s'” indwelling Presence. Who then can be afraid? Note that this is not just a sub­ jective spiritual exercise for his own enjoyment—it will show In his “good manner of life in Christ” which will put his persecutors “to shame" (v. 16). How effectively that has worked oijy recently in Germany, Norway and elsewhere. II. Do Not Be Surprised—the En­emy WiU Attack (4:12, 13). Surprise attack is effective. Re­ member Pearl Harbor! Satan is an expert in strategy, and is eager to keep Christians in an easy and com­ fortable mood, so that he may strike a vicious blow when it is not ex­ pected. We best prepare to meet him when we recognize that perse­cution and suffering will come. We are to bear in mind that it is not some “strange thing” which has happened; we who suffer as Chris­ tians are “partakers of Christ’s suf­ ferings.” Joy and glory are ahead. III. Do Not Be Ashamed—Xon Suffer for Christ (4:14-16). Sadness and depression rest upon the one who suffers for his own evil deeds, but those who suffer for Christ’s sake may be ever rejoicing. Can you not see that “the spirit of glory and the Spirit of God” are resting (v. 14) even now on some who sit in prisons and concentra­ tion camps? What a glorious pic­ ture of His grace! It is proper to observe here that the believer is not to be guilty of that which justly brings the law’s condemnation (v. IS). Do not fail to note the last of the list of crimes— “meddler in other men’s matters.” Has not just that caused endless trouble in the church, and harmed its testimony before the world? Let’s quit meddling! IV. Do Not Worry—He Careth for Xou (5:6, 7). Worry! Worry! How it does crowd itself into our thinking. Yes, we know we are Christians, that we are unjustly accused or persecuted, that we are suffering for Christ’s sake. That’s aU true, but how is it aU com­ ing out? What about my famUy? WiU they harm my children? If I do survive wiU I be able to start life anew? AnS so on—questions with­out end; and soon comes the corrod­ ing touch of worry. What shaU we do? The answer is plain. Cast all your care on Christ —“He careth for you” (v. 7). That takes an act of faith just as it does to become a Christian in the first place, but it works. The cure for all anxiety is right there—but it can only be reached by the path of humility. “Humble yourselves” (v. 6). There is the gateway to comfort, and to true exaltation in God’s own good time (cf. Jas. 6:4-10). V. Do Not Waver—God Is Zour Strength (5:8-10). Steady, perfected, estabUshed in Christ, sure of his eternal destiny and with the eyes of faith.seeing the glory to come—such is the man who is ready and able to meet the devil when; like a roaring lion, he seeks to disturb and devour God’s people. The believer should be ready and equipped. That does not mean that the Chris­ tian sits with his hands folded wait­ ing in a fatalistic way for the in- eatable to happen. Never! He is “on the alert” with his spiritual ears at­ tuned to hear the approach of the enemy’s “bombers.” He is “sober and watchful” against the “roaring Uon” (v. 8). Satan is unusually busy in our day. Alert Christian people see his deadly onslaughts on their breth­ ren, which are possibly more severe now than for many years. He is seeking to break them down 'physi- caliy, mentally and spiritually, to make them fearful, to make them timid about work for Christ, to limit their usefulness, and to steal from them their victorious assurance. He is busy—let us bealert against him. P E A K I N G Ip ffis i Released by W estern Newspaper Union. T HB "match of the century” will develop when bashful Gunder Haag, famed Swedish ... middle- 'distance runner, arrives, in the Unit­ ed States to pit his speed and en-’ durance against America’s best ath­letes. The match of the centnry, of course, would see barrel chested Greg Rice, formerly of Notre Dame,-, meet the Ghost of Gavle, in a match designed to end a lot of arguments. Holder of five official world rec­ ords at distances from 1,500 meters to 5,000, including a 4:04.6 miles, Haag is looking forward to competi­ tion in America with aU the eager­ ness of a rookie seeing big league action for the first time. Haag boarded a tanker at Gote- borg for his voyage across the At­ lantic. In an interview before he left, he said: “I love to run and it has always been my dream to go to the United States. I have never been outside Europe and I am looldng forward to competing with America’s great run­ners. “When I get there I’ll run any place and any time, and the AAU can let the profits of any meets go where it finds suitable—whether to war benefits or other fnnds.’' Explanation The sandy-haired Haag, a village fireman at Gavle, had a very def­ inite purpose in mind when he made the latter statement. Previous re­ ports published in this country in- GREG RICE dicated that he was unwilling, as a citizen of a neutral country, to com­ pete in meets staged for the benefit of war reUef agencies.Haag denied the statement flatly. “I a u ready to ran, especially if it helps war invaUds or other victims of the w a r," he said. Tentative arrangements for Haag’s appearance in this country include the National AAU championships, to be held in New York June 19-20, and special meets in other dties. The AAU championship program has been arranged so that Haag, if he wishes, could run in the 1,506 meters on June 19 and in the 5,000 meters on June 20. ' It is in the latter race he prob­ ably would he called upon to face Greg Rice, world indoor record hold­ er at two miles and fat and away America’s leading distance runner. Rice is a chief specialist in the Unit­ ed States Maritime service. In New York, Dan Ferris, secretary-treas- orer of the AAC, said that aU bene­ fits from meets In which Haag com­ petes would go to.the IT. S. Alr Forces’ Aid society. Sports Spectacle The race should be one of those rare sports spectacles where the is­ sue is a clean cat test of superiority between champions. Snch meetings seldom take place—largely because two great competitors seldom arise at the same time. Old timers recall that in the field of distance running, Uie victory of Italy's Pietri Dorsmdo over Amer­ ica’s John jJ. Hayes at the old Madi­ son Square Garden was one of the most talked of events of the cen­ tury. Hayes had been proclaimed the Olympic marathon winner in London in 1908, after Dorando, lead­ ing until a few yards from' the fin­ ish, feU and was hdped over the line by friends. Hayes was given the title after Dorando was disquali­ fied. Then Dorando and Hayes turned professional and engaged in a se­ ries of marathons. The first of these took place in New York. The crowds were sUghtly terrific. Thou­ sands couldn’t attend because of safety restrictions. But Dorando proved himself: He won a majority of their Taces, thus vindicating him- self in the eyes of his foUowers. SPORTS SHORTS 4 The major league fielding record for first basemen is a .999 average set by John P. (“Stuffy”) McInnis of the Boston Red Sox for 152 games in 1921.

Eicht billion dollar* of the 13 billion dollars in Oils Second War Loan Drive must come from non-banking sources, so the responsibility for the bulk of this 13-billion-dollar drive rests with the American poMie.Indications are that Ameri­ cans ienerally need only to be reminded of this responsibility and how much they should lend their government In order to reach this goal. Americans are bacHng up their lighting men on tie battle fronts. They are supporting the Second War Loan. “They give their lives . . . Yon lend yonr money." “ R e n e g o tia tio n ” M ig h t T o u ch Y o u Under no other circumstances is the fine spirit of neighborly co­ operation shown to better advantage in a rural community than in the case of fire or other calamity. This friendly spirit is not based upon per­ sonal interest, but upon the deep sympathy that just naturally arises in case of disaster. Of course, there is a personal interest if the fire threatens our own property, but we like to think this unity of spirit in our rural life is typical of America. There is this same community of interest between industry, labor' and agriculture, although , sympathy for each other’s troubles seldom comes to the surface. Every farmer knows that his beat market for the produce of his farm is our local domestic market. He depends upon this domestic market to consume over 90 per cent of what our American farms produce each year. If anything happens to his domestic market, like the depression and loss of employment in the early thirties, agriculture is at once af­fected. On the other hand, if any-' thing happens to the buying power of agriculture, industry is hurt just as badly. Bight now congress is considering the renegotiation of all government contracts. The law was passed on April 28, 1942. Some people are urging that these new renegotiation bureaus should examine contracts made long before the law was Take the case of a contract made In 1940. The work has been done and paid for; taxes have been paid to the government on the profits, if any; labor has been paid and the money balance distribute^ either in repairs to plant or perhaps paid in dividends to stockholders. Danger of Retroactive Measures. Snppose that same thing happened to our local store, or even to our farmers themselves. Suppose the prices we received for our crops, or the conservation payments by the government for 1941 or 1940 were suddenly to be “renegotiated.” Ev­ ery farmer has either fed out or sold his crop, purchased new ma­ chinery or perhaps painted the bam, or bought a new dress for his wife. If, under a retroactive law, he were suddenly put up against the threat of renegotiation, all of his credit, and perhaps even his investment would be disturbed. No one wants unfair profits or ex­ cessive dividends out of war con­ tracts. Investigation has shown that over 95 per cent of industry and business made no excessive profits out of the war. Certainly no farm­ ers have received excessive prices for farm crops. Now Is the Time for Unity We want to get on with this war. We must have unity. Unity is based upon mutual confidence in our gov­ ernment and in each other. We are all looking forward to a return of peace after the war has been won. We will then want to resume our domestic markets, replace worn-out farm machinery and resume our normal trade relationships. Indus­ try and business will need all of their American ingenuity and strength to provide jobs which, in turn, furnish our domestic market after the war. True, renegotiation at present is applied only to industry and con­ tracts with the government. But we all recognize the good old American principle that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If business contracts can be re­ negotiated under a law passed long after the business contracts were made, how about the sanctity of our own contracts? Just now the fire seems far from our own neighborhood, but if we look closely, our domestic markets, both now and after the war, are involved. We can well take time off to show a little neighborly spirit and help put out the fire. The Peoples’ Edict Money to pay for the war, yes; but no money for frills in the civil operations of any of our governing bodies. That is the edict of Cie American people.

It will come out of the 45-blllion dollar surplus •aininga of 1943, according to statistics reported by Treasury experts. During 1941 personal savings of Iadividuals amounted to 9 billion dollars. During 1943 this surplus or prospective savings wiU increase fey 36 billion dol­lars over 1941 when consumer goods were easy to get.Now that prices are high, thrifty people will make their goods last longer and plaee more money in War Bonds.

But we cannot rely on taxes to finance the war. It would not be fair to base a tax on the average single fam­ ily income when many families have more than one income. We could borrow all the money from the banks, but for both economic and social reasons this is ‘undesirable. The gov­ernment would then sacrifice its greatest dam against infla­tion.

Young People And Ex­ travagance Rev. W alter E . benhour. H iddenite. N. C M ultitudes of th e youth of Am er­ ica today are m aking good m oney, as jobs are plentiful and w ages are high. T he tem ptation to spend all they m ake is great, as there are so m any evils abroad in the land th at appeal to young people, w hich, if they indulge in. take th eir m oney. M any young people w ork side by side w ith m en and wom en of fam ilies, and m ake w ages equal w ith them ; and w hile those w ith fam ilies spend their m eans for sup. port, and stay even w ith the world, yet th e young people have nobody to support b u t them selves, y et nev­ er save a dollar, except In excep. tional cases. If a m an w |th a fam . ily earns, say $25 per week, and lives on this am ount and supports his fam ily, then the youth th at m akes equal w ages, w ith nobody to support b u t him selj, certainly ought to save m oney. I t isn 't right for him to “ blow it in ,” as th e old saving is. E xtravagance is abso. Iutely w rong. W hile jobs are plentiful and wa­ ges good, tens of thousands of young people ought to save some­ thing. T h ey sh all need a hom e som e day, as they expect to mar* ry . T h e tim e is com ing w hen th .v m ay not be able to get a job, and perhaps w on't be able to earn m uch m oney. N ow Is th e tim e to save som ething. M oney is flow ing plen*’ tifully today, b u t this is not going to last. A m ighty financial depres­ sion is very apt to follow this w ar, and then it will be well to have som ething saved u p for th at day. Single people have th e opportunity of their lives to earn m oney w ith w hich to buy them a hom e, or to go to school and get a good educa­ tion, and in th e m eantim e give lib­ erally tow ard the support of the Gospel. T his should come first. G od alw ays blesses those w ho give liberally of th eir m eans tow ard H is cause. Instead of spending m oney foi>sinful, wicked pleasures and in . dulgences, it is ten thousand tim es better to give it to the cause of God, th a t th e G ospel m ay be car­ ried to m ankind everyw here. Y oung people, don't be extrava. gant. D on’t w aste your means foolishly. L earn to value money properly and spend it rightly. Do not be a spendthrift. Som e day you will see w here you missed it, and shall wish th at you had back those dollars you spent in sin and wickedness, or foolishly, w hich has btonght you nothing w orth w hile In return.

To Receive LongerFnr* longh W ashington — T he drafting of fathers for m ilitary service in the im m ediate future appeared likely as the arm y extended the furlough period given new inductees from 7 to 15 days. 7 ,Commanding generals of th e nine service com m ands were ordered to m ake the extension as soon as pos sible, and In no case later than July 1.

Thompson) In the course of m y reading to­ day I ran across this arresting statem ent: “ God Shapes th e W orld by P rayer.” W e m ust insist th at G od is in the business of shaping the world. H e is shaping it thru hum an im m ortality. H e .is using the sanctified genius ot m an, the noble endow m ents of hum ankind, the rich values of hum an charac­ ter, to construct a world order that fulfills his own plan and embodies bis own vision. God is m ost evi­ dent in th e life of the m an th at prays. God is m ost pow erful in the nation th at prays. God is most efficacious in the church th at prays. T he greatest eras in hum an history are those when m en were found earnestly praying to God for di­ rection and belp. Robert H all said: "T h e prayer of faith is tte only power in the universe to which the G reat Jehovah yields,” Lis ten to the M aster: “ If ye shall ask anything In m y nam e, I will do it.” W hat a chailenge Christ has given us in tbase astonishing w irds I T hese words keep drifting into m y m ind: “ Ask of m e, and I shall give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the utter most parts of the earth for th y pos­ sessions.'’ G od is m oulding the w orld through the prayers of faith- filled men and women. A s Chris tians let us confront the world w ith spirit of love rather than hate, let us be bearers of light rather than scatterers of darkness,j let us be harbingers of hope rather than ped dlers of doubt, let us be generators of confidence rather than channels of skepticism . T hereby we shall be able to help God build a brigh­ ter and fairer world. F or after all God is shaping the world.

Idle Labor Here The persons who works about town cannot help but notice the fact th at there are still men who do not have regular jobs. Every person now can find profit* able employment.

There is a local Iaborshortage1 ju st as there is in every com m unity in the nation. And a t the sam e tim e there are people not holding down regular jobs.

TH E DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Who’s News This Week By DeIos Wheeler Lovelace I Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. VfEW YORK.—The close-meshed ' infantry net of Maj. Gen. Omar N. Bradley dipped up whole divi­ sions of the floundering Nazis in QaietandStudioas North ^fn Is the General in Fiery Patton’s Post ca. Legends w ere a l­ready thick around some American general officers when they assumed conspicuous posts of command in this war. Mar­ shall’s admirers insisted that he had been a prodigy even as a shavetail. MacArthur was the century’s Bay­ ard, and still has no rival. Stilwell was a king of catch-as-catch-can fighters, talked Chinese besides a dozen dialects. Patton was a Paul Bunyan who could heave a tank like a potato. There seem to be no similar flour­ ishes in the history of Bradley, new­ ly In command of the American Second corps in place of the sul­phurous Patton. He is 50.' Bradley was graduated from West Point two years before the last war and at its end was a temporary major. Bnt four years later he was back to a captaincy and after that made slow going over the peace-time hump in the officers’ list. Four­ teen years passed before he got his lientenant colonelcy and he waited until 1911 for his briga­ dier’s single star. Meanwhile he had gone to the Command and General Staff school, the War college, and the Infantry school, advanced course, and with so much study rated the command- ancy of the Ft. Benning Infantry school. Now he moves into the tough headquarters that Patton has vacat­ ed, a quiet general who might pass for a professor. His wide forehead is cerebral, his long, narrow face full of thought. But he is an in­ fantry expert.---- WHEN Laurence A. Steinhardi set off to be ambassador at Ankara he spoke German, Spanish, French and Swedish well, and he As Their Needs ™ Are, Steinhardts would man- C a lh trL ttn g u a g e t too. Sure enough, here he sits pretty now while the Axis rushes diplomat­ ic reinforcements to tug at a Turkey leaning more and more toward the Allied table. Steinhardt’s performancy is a score for President Roosevelt’s orig­inal inner circle. He was of the coterie which counseled FDR when the latter would have settled, and in writing, for just one term. The group has been considerably broken but Steinhardt always takes his old place in the huddle whenever he gets to the White House. He is out of the country so much that he doesn’t get there often. He was sent on a spe­ cial job to Sweden, the youngest diplomat President Roosevelt ever had appointed to a major post. Next he went to Russia. He got to Peru, also. A nephew of the late legal swash­ buckler, Samuel Untermyer, he used to practice law. He was bom in New York City 51 years ago and, stand­ ing practically on his own doorstep, picked up three degrees from Co­ lumbia university. His wife has one only, but she is a better linguist. She speaks seven languages, and on top of that is breath-taking. His daughter speaks seven languages, too. A QUARTER century of study, about half his life, goes into the plans Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur W. Tedder is making to strafe the 2,060 Foe Planes I f u ^ i Downed, Now Going Hitler’s cit- After Their Source a d e l- B e­tw een the landings at Casablanca and Oran and the Nazi collapse before Bizerte and Tunis his air forces finished 2,000 enemy planes. Now he is free to go after the Italiian cities which helped make the planes and other Nazi arms. In World War I Sir Arthur fought over France in the paleo­zoic ’ airships of the Royal Fly­ ing force. One time he won a decoration from the Italians, al­ lies then; three times he was mentioned in dispatches. When the Boche collapsed on the Meuse and in the Argonne and the RFF became the peacetime RAF Tedder stayed on and rose steadily. He has been chief of the Mediter­ ranean Air command since Februj ary, holding authority over French and American flying units in the area as well .as British. A son of the air marshal, his eld­ est, was killed in a dogfight with the Luftwaffe when the air battle over England was in the touch-and- go stage. There is another son and a daughter living, but Lady Tedder is dead. She was killed in a plane crash, too, near Cairo. When Sir Arthur was at Cam­ bridge—Magdalene college—be took honors in history and in his spare time sketched. When his son died, and his wife also, he disappeared for a few days with a thick volume of other times and people, and some drawing pencils and paper. Area of U. S.

Not DEANNA DURBIN only did Deanna come through with flying colors, but the radio program opened an entirely new vista of film and air endeavor for her, one that is completely removed from her singing. It’s not surprising that William Holden wanted to drop his own name—William Franklin Beedle— and legally switch to Holden. But when his wife, Brenda Marshall, has worked so hard and successfully to introduce that one, it’s startling to have her announce that she’s never liked it, and from now on will be known by her maiden and married names—Ardis Ankerson Holden. Casting for “Hi Diddle Diddle” sounds a little goofy. Marek Wind- heim, former Metropolitan Opera tenor, will play a pianist-accompan- ist for Pola Negri, who makes her motion picture comeback as an opera singer. Seems he was chosen because he, like Miss Negri, is of Polish descent and artistic tempera­ ment. Richard Hageman, Metro­ politan Opera conductor, plays a stockbroker. Shirley Temple talked things over with David O. Selznick, and very wisely signed a long term contract with him. She’ll appear in “Since You Went Away,” his first produc­ tion since “Rebecca,” with an all- star cast. Some people say that Hollywood had better lay off war pictures be­ cause the public’s sick of them. Well, the armed forces aren’t, judging by the men who come to New York’s Civilian Defense Entertainment committee for free tickets. The oth­ er night I handed out passes to “Crash Dive” and “China” by the dozen. Of course, “China” had Har- Ty James and his band to back it up.— *— Bill Terry, who made his film debut in the short, “Private Smith of the U. S. A.,” and will soon be seen in its continuation, “Lieutenant Smith,” has been signed up by Sol Lesser for a role in “Stage Door Canteen.” The first woman physician to be commissioned directly into the United States army is Dr. Margaret D. Craighill. She is shown being sworn in as a major by Col. Fred­ erick Schoenfeld, commanding of­ ficer of the Philadelphia recruiting district. Two men of the merchant marine visited Jimmy Dorsey a while back and gave him the “Gibraltar Med­ al” one of them was wearing. Afloat 36 days after their freighter was torpedoed, all they had to keep their morale up were -his recordings of “Maria Elene” and “The Breeze and I.” When they’d used up their needles they fell back on matches and paper clips. Newest screen actor to branch out into radio as a regular performer is Jack Carson, last seen in Warner Bros.’ “The Hard Way.” He’s win­ ning new fame as a comedian as master of ceremonies of the CBS “Comedy Caravan,” heard Friday evenings. Even Ellery Queen, ace detective, failed to notice a wedding ring on the left hand of Ernest Chappell, his program announcer; it was a week before he learned that Chappell had married Claudia Morgan, daughter of Ralph, niece of Frank, “Nora Charles” of “The Thin Man” on the air and leading actress on “The Right to Happiness’’ and “We Love and Learn.” — *—ODDS AND ENDS—Kate Smith's get­ ting a reputation for having launched more fighting and merchant ships than anyone else in the U- S.

Gennans Filter In At Night. During the night, the German troops had filtered through the sleep­ ing city. They encountered no one. The French sailors were aboard their ships, the infantry and the Senegalese were in the arsenal, the forts and the casements. The Ger­ mans hesitated, losing precious time. After a while, two columns formed, one heading toward the arsenal, the other toward the docks. Soon the Nazis were throwing themselves into every boat they could find, crowding upon pontoons they had brought with them. Suddenly a gun boomed from the flagship. Gnn Signal Booms. It was the signal—the order to sabotage all ships, to destroy port installations, to spike the guns of the coastal batteries. Aboard the 70 ves­ sels moored or anchored in the har­ bor, commanders .were at their posts. They gave the pre-arranged orders. Soon the old dock, the wa­ ter front, the harbor and the road­ stead—QieanchoragewhereFrance’s proud ships had lived—were no more than cemeteries.Fresh explosions came from the arsenal. Machines and workshops in the factories were being destroyed. To the south, flames and clouds of smoke from burning ammunition dumps rose high. AU around the ba Question: What wiU mend a bro­ ken birdbath? The bowl cracked in the frost. What wUl stick it to­ gether so that it wUl hold water? Answer: Bring the bowl into the house so that it wiU dry out. Then coat both sides of the break with white lead paste and bind the parts tightly together. After hardening, which wiU take three months or so, the joint will be watertight. If you do not want to wait as long as that, and a yellowish tinge of the cement makes no difference, make a cement powdered litharge and ordinary glycerine. This acts quickly and is Uioroughly waterproof when dry. Removing WaUpaper Question: Can waUpaper be re­ moved from plasterboard? Answer: That could be done by soaking with water, but using no more water than wiU be needed. If you use too much, you may soak off the paper finish of the plasterboard. At best, the plasterboard surface wiU be left rough. To smooth it, put on a coat of shellac, which in drying, wiU stiffen the paper surface of the board, which can then be rubbed smooth with sandpaper. .It is then ready for papering.

GOD’S EXCEEDING GREAT PROMISES LESSON TEXT—II Peter 1:1-11.GOLDEN TEXT-He hatb granted unto us His precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature.—H Peter 1:4, R. V. Growth in grace and in knowledge of Christ are as normal and expect­ ed of the child of God as bodily growth of the physical child. Tragic as is the failure of one to develop physically, it is even more distress­ ing and sad in the spiritual realm. Yet it is a common thing in our churches, where only comparatively few believers even ceme to full stature in Christ, where more have only a partial growth, and some are forever babes in Christ. God has made perfect provision for us, and has in His Word given plain and explicit instructions on how to gain spiritual development. I. AU Things Provided (w . 1-4). In the physical world we are able to provide, at least in some degree, what is needed. We also know where to find mental food. Spiritual provision can come only from God, and we find from these verses that He has provided not just a small portion, or a limited raflon, but “all things that pertain unto life and god­ liness,’’ through the knowledge of Christ. The “exceeding great and precious promises” of God are the abundant portion of the believer. They are sure promises, based in the alto­gether dependable Word of God. God’s provision for us in Christ has made it unnecessary to look elsewhere. Here is escape from the world’s corrupQon, the new nature in Christ, faith, grace, peace, power —all in Him. The opposite is also true, that without Christ men have only the weak and disappointing help of men on which to draw. Of such foolish ones the Lord said through Jeremiah the prophet that they “have com­mitted two evils: They have for­ saken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water” (Jer. 2:13). D. AU DiUgence Required (w . 5-7). There is something that the Chris- Qan can do to insure his growth in grace. He is to be diligent, that is, have an earnest purpose and zeal to go ahead spiritually. This calls for application and endeavor, just as progress in any other sphere of life, and possibly more. Faith is the foundation of aU such growth' and without it there is noth­ing on which to build. But on it, Oi better, “in” it, we have aU these other Christian graces springing up, as we give “aU diligence” to en­ courage their growth. Notice the ascending scale. Faith leads to virtue, that is, courageous, resolute Christian character. Then comes knowledge—the intelligent un­ derstanding and discernment of truQi. This is bound together by temperance, meaning. self-control. Next is paQence, that steady en­ durance which keeps going in spite of trial or disappointment. The sixth note in this octave ol graces is godliness, which speaks of piety, true devoQon to God, and rev­ erence for His name. Such a believ­ er wiU love his brethren in all broth­ erly kindness; and that leads us tc the high point of love (the real mean­ ing of “charity,” v. 7). Here love for God is obviously in mind, as the crowning grace of the believer. III. All Eternity Assured (w . fi­ ll). We should look forward to that abundant “entrance -into the- ever- lasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” spoken of in verse IL There is such a thing as being saved "so as by fire” (I Cor. 3:15), slipping into heaven with noth­ing to show for our life as followers of Christ here on earth (read I Cor. 3:12-15). God does not want for His people, such an unseemly entrance upon eternity. Why should we be satis­fied so to live that it may be true of us. Saved? Yes, but that is all! Are you satisfied with that prospect? We should note, too, that this growth in grace will show itself in our daily life. It will keep us from being “barren (idle) and unfruitful” (v. 8). The ChrisQan life must not be barren of true service for Christ, nor unfruitful of gracious harvest for Him. We are not on a sort of spiritual joy ride, sitQng at ease as we speed on to the heavenly dwelling places.' Works do not save a man. We are justified before God by faith. But our faith is justified before men by our works of righteousness. Fruit grows on the living and healthy tree. Observe that Qie ChrisQan who lacks- these graces (Do you?) is a nearsighted one who lacks both vision and grateful remembrance of God’s loving-kindness (v. 9). How many members of our churches need their spiritual memory jogged and their spiritual eyes anointed with God’s “eyesalve” (Rev. 3:18). Two-Piecer Thafs Oh!

D ear M r.'S trond: T hought I ’d w rite yon a few lines by the help of God I have never w ritten you before, b u t I w ant to say I enjoy getting T he Davie Record over here in N orth A frica. Ien jo y reading the serm ons very m uch, and the letters from soldiers overseas. My hom e is not in Davie county, but m y wife is from there and she had the paper sent to me. I have been in N orth A frica since last De­ cem ber, and we are not over here on a pleasure trip either. T here is a boy in my battery who is from Davie. H e also enjoys T he Davie Record. As you all know, this is the old country, and it rem inds me very m uch of Bible pictures, and we can see things that we studied about in school. T here is one that is the sam e to me here as H e is back there in Am erica, and th at is out; Lord and Saviour Jesus C hrist. 1 believe this w ar would soon end if Am erica would heed the follow ing scripture: "IF MY PEOPlt WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY HAMt SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AHD SEEK MY FACt AMD TURK AWAY FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; THEN WIlL I THEIR SINS, AND WILL HEAL THEIR IAND."- HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE 2 CHRON. 7:14. W e desire, and we all need the prayers of all you C hristian people back there in Am erica. O ur faith is in God, the one that has kept us safe in the past, and he is able to keep us in the future if it be H ts will. I feel th at there are m any back there w ho are praying for us and onr early return, if it be G od’s will. O ur only hooe ot retnrn is in H im . I will close for this tim e. May God be w ith yon all this E as­ ter Sunday, and everm ore. In service for God and Conntry. PFC . E L B E R T DUN CA N . From A Davie Soldier A m arillo T exas. May 28.

Sbe finds, to an old chest, the body of a man identi* fied as Roddy Lane. Tbe body disap* pears a few boars later. A fish shed burns, apparently killing an old man named Brown who is supposed to have lived there. Jttdy finds Roddy Lane’s dla* mond In tbe bandbag she left at tlie churcb the day of the auction. Lily Ken­ dall is found dead» with Hugh Nor cross’ scarf wrapped around her neck. Tbe guests bave reassured themselves that Roddy Lane is not on the "Head.” Now continue with JudytS story. CHAPTER XIV “You can breathe easy. He isn’t there. We hunted from attic to cel­ lar. No sign o£ anything—food, I mean. Just his open suitcase, with the clothes the way I told you when I climbed up and looked in the win­ dow that time with the Rev. De Witt. There’s a bird. He’s stopped splitting the atmosphere lately.” Just then a cowbell, shaken vig­ orously by an angry hand, made us turn to see my Aunt Nella at the rear steps. “Cornin’ right along, m’dear!” yelled Uncle Wylie. “Me, too. Not that I could eat.” Potter stared miserably at the sea. “You might as well have the pic­ture, Judy. She’ll never want it, now. It’s a poor time to speak of it, but I was tickled silly at the com­ mission to paint her portrait. Not that I’m very good at it,” he added modestly. “I’ll leave the painting outside your door, shall I?”Outside my door! Would he sneak in and grab that $500? I thanked Mr. Potter for the paint­ ing, wonderingly, as he walked swiftly toward the cowbell. But the others were coming down the drive, so we waited for them, Mr. Quincy and I. Hugh was in the lead. “Just as Quade said — nothing there. However he knew it.” He took the chair from me. “Let me do that, Judy. You look tired to death.” “Never felt better in my life, but I could go for some of that chow­ der.” Victor asked, “Your uncle get back 0. K.?” I inclined my head. “Gone in to dinner. Auntie’s furious. Better all hurry up. Whatever she's got ready she hates to have it get cold.” “Where’s friend Potter?” De Witt asked quietly. “Gone on ahead. Feels pretty badly about losing his commissions. Miss—Miss Kendall gave him two, you know, but this good Boy Scout made up for one of ’em. Wouldn’t let me pay for the church.’’ “Lovely to hang up in the kid­ dies’ bedroom some day, Judy, and tell ’em bedtime stories about what happened there,” Hugh said. Nobody was amused. Everybody was in the doldrums. What dinner party could be gay with a charred corpse to the right and a bruised or strangled one to the left? “Why didn’t he wait for us?” Vic­tor said, half to himself. I explained about the painting he was leaving outside my door. When we reached the inn my aunt beck­ oned me with a ladle. “Go up and look,” Victor whis­ pered, “or shall I?” “You go. I’ve got to help serve,” I answered. Albion Potter was coming down the stairs. “Hope you like it—in spite of everything,” he smiled at me, and passed on into the dining room.Victor started up and I hurried out to my scolding auntie, trying to make up for my absence by tell­ ing her the news. I thought the cu­ cumber dishes looked stingy and was slicing another when she made me cut my finger with: “Thank goodness, there won’t be any more beads to sweep up!” Which just goes to show how a round of murders will make a person cal­ lous. I finished the cucumbers and took them in. The guests were nearly all seated, munching the salted crackers we served with the chow­ der. I set down Victor’s chowder and a dish for myself. My aunt had “et,” she said, and wanted me to. He came presently and sat down opposite me. “Money’s there,” he whispered. “Painting’s wet. Had to scrub the stuff off my hands. That’s why I was so long.” Bessie Norcross was absent. Didn’t want any lunch, she’d told Aunt Nella. She was going to take a sleeping powder and lock herself in her room. Would Mrs. Gerry please so inform her brother? Mrs. Gerry did. “Took poor Miss Kendall’s death awful hard. She was bawling her eyes but. Kep’ say­ ing, ‘Hughie never done it!’ As if any one’d think you did!” Several spoons were halted in mid­ air. Several pairs of eyes, I saw, shot suspicious glances at poor Hugh, trying to eat his chowder with a fork. “There are plenty of policemen, shall we say, Mrs. Gerry, who might not be so lenient with Norcross as you are,” squeaked Mr. Quincy. His eyes no longer twinkled; they glit­ tered. Hugh’s chair scraped backward, but he pulled it up again without a word when the minister added: “Let tIim who is without evil cast the first stone. Personally, and without recrimination, I think it looks bad for all of us.” For a moment I liked the pompous De Witt. “Did you look in the tent?” Aunt Nella asked. “I’ve got a feelin’ Rod­ dy’s around here somewhere, hid- in’.” Uncle Wylie, for the first time, was eating his' repast with the guests. Nothing short of murder could have made him bring in his dinner from the kitchen, but there he was at a rear table. “Don’t be ridic’lous, Nella. Looked in the tent every time I passed it today. Hunted all over our bam. Only place I ain’t been is Mr. Quade’s trailer.” He bit off a health­ ful chunk of bread. “Could Lane conceal himself in one of your cub­ byholes?” he asked Victor. “Not a chance. The trailer’s been searched. I still have the keys.” The minister turned around in his chair. “Boathouse was locked, too, wasn’t it? Yet somebody’s been there. Is it likely Lane would scut­ tle his own boats? Much as I de­ spised him, I can’t but hope he just left the Head in a natural way. The fire was an accident, which burned a poor old deaf man.” “And Miss Kendall?” Albion Pot­ ter was still bitter, apparently about his lost commission to do her por­ trait. "Accident, too? Fell into the Pi­ rate’s Mouth.” Hugh flung down his napkin. “Nice of you, De Witt, but it won’t go. Not “Hope yon like it—In spite of ev­ erything,” he smiled at me. when you know the poor woman was strangled with my scarf.” I caught an exchange between Un­ cle Wylie, who’d been about to say a word, and Victor, who shut him up just in time. So all my Uncle really uttered was “Sartin”—the op­ posite of what he’d intended. Hugh tossed him a scornful glance. “Oh, I admit it was my scarf all right. At least, I’d lost one of the same color. I’ll tell the police if the chance ever comes, in tVis isolated hole. But,” and he fairly shouted it at us, “I didn’t tie it around her neck! I - I liked the poor old girl.” He crammed some food into his mouth and nearly choked on it. His glass was empty and I sprang to refill it for him. “Thanks, Judy. You tell them I didn’t write you the funny letter, either. Or send you any money. Truth is, I’m hard up. Had to bor­ row from my sister to afford this vacation. Felt I was justified since it was on her account we—” He was talking too much and knew it. He drained the second glass. But I couldn’t tell them he, or any of the rest of them, hadn’t sent the letter.“I don’t believe you did,” I said lamely, clearing away the table. “Well, I know I didn’t,” chided Thaddeus Quincy. “Nor I.” “Nor I.”“I certainly didn’t.” The denial was vociferous and gen­ eral, each guest gazing blandly around the table at the others. “Wylie ain’t got a cent, so he couldn’t,” Aunt Nella said virtuous­ ly. “And you needn’t look at me! I love Judy more’n any of you, but I wanted that church for a bungalow in my old age. ’Tain’t no place for a tearoom. Why, Rockville’s chock- a-block with gifte shoppes and tea­ rooms, and only one of ’em makin’ ends meet.” Her head straight­ ened stiffly. “And I’d thank who­ ever busted our boat to have it re­ paired. That goes for the register, too.” She flounced through the swinging door to the kitchen. I sat petrified. Auntie can be mighty insulting in a polite way. After ail was said and done, only one person was likely to be respon­ sible for the damage. Thaddeus Quincy chuckled, and soon a nervous ripple ran around the tables. Uncle Wylie rose to help me with the trays. “Don’t mind Mrs. Ger­ ry,” he half-whispered. "She gets uppity when her puddin’ sauce is lumpy.” At that we all laughed aloud, and Uncle joined in. It wasn’t decent. It wasn’t seemly, but we couldn’t help it. Our nerves were at the breaking point. The minister sobered us down again. “Judy, is the rest of the money you received still where you left it?” I glanced at Victor. "Yes,” I said. “It’s aU there.” “Doesn’t it occur to you Miss Ken­ dall, for reasons unknown to us now, might have sent it? She apparently had plenty of this world’s goods, in a small way, of course, judging by her clothes, and her offer to Potter here of $50 for a portrait, on top of the bid of twenty-five for the church. And, as I recall, she was the one who wanted to search the basement. Acted strange about the Pirate’s Mouth investigation, too. Lay down on the rock, remember—after Mr. Quade said there was nothing there.” “Would she bid against herself?” I asked. “She was the one who bid me up to three hundred at the auc­ tion. Why? If she knew she was cer­ tain to have use of the church through me, anyway?” Just then I thought I heard a step on the stairs. I held my breath and listened. Yes, the old stair creaked. Light­ ly, to be sure; but someone was walking up or down. The other guests didn’t appear to notice. They were probably too busy eating. Victor was saying, “The thing to do now—” “Excuse me,” I said, and hurried into the hallway and looked up the stairs. I caught a swish of a wom­ an’s skirts and presently a door closed. Bessie Norcross, of course! Maybe her sleeping medicine hadn’t worked yet. She’d started to come down to luncheon, and, finding the crew had not yet finished, retreated. That was it. I retreated, too, re­ lieved. Victor and the minister were having some sort of a pow­ wow over what to do next. I glanced at the dining-room clock. Why, it still lacked three minutes to I! What a day! Already I’d lived a hundred years. “How long would it take you to get one of those boats fit to cross the gap under where the bridge was?” Victor asked Uncle Wylie. “The cove, you mean. Gap’s too tricky for us Headers. Wouldn’t take long if I had some help gettin’ her down.” “But why don’t the authorities turn up?” Potter ventured. “Even a fool milkman would report an ac­ cident, wouldn’t he?” “Mebbe he did. But it’s dinner­ time,” Aunt Nella interposed. “If you knew Pirate Headers the way we do, you’d know they wouldn’t miss their vittles, come murder or the Day of Judgment.” “She’s right that time,” my uncle said. “But there’ll be a sailboat or somep’n along before I could patch up The Eleanor. Whyn’t you all just take it easy till someone turns up? Fixed me a megaphone, but don’t see as I’ll need it now. Wind’s turned. Carry what we say across.” He finished his last morsel of cot­ tage pudding, folded his napkin neat­ ly and offered, “I’ll go set by the bridge and wait. Shall I?” Trust Uncle Wylie to choose “to set” instead of repairing a leaky bottom! “We’ll come along and join you, Gerry,” the minister said. “Want me to push your chair, Mr. Quin­ cy?” “No, thanks,” returned Mr. Quin­ cy coldly. “I’ll keep away from cliffs and broken bridges till the po­ lice get here.” “I move we go have another look at Mr. Quade’s trailer,” Hugh said. “I’m remembering a few things be­ sides the scarf,” he added darkly. “Go with me, Potter?" Albion shrugged. “Oh, I might as well. Nothing to paint—now. I wish to heaven the police would come, so a body could settle down again.” Reluctantly he followed the leader, as per usual. Hugh stopped by my chair. “Ju­ dy, if my sister should come down while we’re gone, tell her every­ thing’s all right, will you?” “Of course, Hugh.” He smiled at me wanly. “Darn the whole business. I told Bessie she was a fool to come here. Old memories! Couldn’t she have set­ tled them at some other resort— Hyannis or Nantucket? No, she was anxious to see if she was cured of her affection for that—that bounder. Well, she’s got her—” He muttered something that sounded like belly, ful, and-immediately added, “Par- don me, Judy. I don’t know what I’m saying.” And went out with Pot­ ter. Victor was having a word with Uncle Wylie at the foot of the front steps, and Aunt Nella was corraiing me to help her. “Dishes, Judy. Please!” “You bet, Auntie. Feel terribly guilty, but—” And I gave her all th« dirt while we hustled- through.

Even Cupid Is Living Vp To the Rules These Days Being of a very kindly nature, the foreman of the munition plant took a great interest in the love affair of one of his pretty “muni- tionettes.” Then one day he was surprised to hear that it was broken off. But that very evening he was even more surprised to see the young lady in question out with the newly discarded young man. “Why, Doris,” he said chidingly, “I thought you had finished with that young man. And here you are out with him.” “That’s right, I have,” was the reply from Doris; “but I had to give him seven days’ notice, didn’t I?” Ground or chopped meat needs much colder storage and keeps a shorter time than other meat.* • • When soil in which house plants are potted becomes more like clay than loam it may be lightened by adding sand to it.

There’s a Parting There This story, told in a letter from a soldier in Africa, makes one smile: “One of our men, posted near an African village, was on lone duty when a darky native came to his camp. “The native was admiring the hair parting of my soldier friend. Would the white soldier make a parting for him? “Being at a loose end, the sol­ dier tried his hand at it; but, try as he would, he could not part that matted darky head. At last he got out his razor, and, to the darky’s delight, he shaved a parting for him!

Common sense tells us th at in order to build a strong, substan­ tial building of any k ind it is abso lutelv necessary to first lav a good foundation. If the foundation is poorly laid, or constructed of un sound m aterial, the building can, not endure the storm s and rains, or the w asting elem ents of tim e. T he building w ill w arp and tw ist and eventually collapse. Is not the sam e tru e of life? N o one can build a great, noble, royal, sublim e life upon th e w rong foun. da ion. A nd sin and wickedness is th at foundation. T o begin life w ith bad, injurious habits which both destroy th e health and m or als, and w hich eventually destroy the character and the soul, should be guarded and advised agulnst. N o habit th at is hurtful should be laid as a foundation upon w hich <0 build life.

P r i c e C o n tr o l In spite of all the “ pointing with pride” by OPA adm inistrators in the nation, it is a known fact to the pub­ lic th at price control is alm ost a failure. The public was led to believe th at prices w ere pegged as of M arch, 1942. but a public which found th at it continually costs m ore and m ore money to live could not always be fooled. W hen it seems th at the lowly Irish potato has become a gold plated lux­ ury, w e are forced so the conclusion that price control has not done so well. • And when the consum er finds that w hat be asked for is no m ore on the m arket, and th at a cheaply construc­ ted substitute has a price twice as great, he begins to wonder to w hat place price control has gone. T here is m ore to price control than m ere orders about m axim um prices. There are other means which m ust be employed along w ith setting max­ imum prices. If an article has been selling for one dollar and the m anufacturer finds th at it cannot be m ade and sold for less than $1.25 because of increased costs of labor and m ater­ ials, the difference m ust be m ade up in subsidies if the price is not to rise. Subsidies also present a long iist of problem s, one of which is the tre­ mendous cost to the public treasury. Another aid to price control is strict rationing, which cuts down the demand for the products to the persons who have them to sell. W e are not capable of solving the problem , but those in charge would do well to realize th at they have not succeeded in controlling prices, and th at m ore efforts m ust be m ade in the right direction if we are to es­ cape inflation with ail its disastrous results.—Wilkes Journal.

Rosendahl, a captain but up for promotion, has been ordered back to his favorite post, the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, N. J., after a tour of sea duty. All through this war he has been asking for blimp plane-carriers. Since the wreck of the Shenan­ doah Rosendahl has been ac­ cepted as one of the best in­ formed men on lighter-than-air craft. When that big dirigible broke in two he drifted away in the bow section, no motors, no rndder, no anything. He and a few helpers free-ballooned the fragment until he conld land her. Rosendahl is a Chicago-born citizen of Texas who finished Annapolis in ’14, served eight years on surface craft and then volunteered for a tour at Lakehurst, then as now the navy’s chief station for experiments with dirigibles. He helped develop the stationary fend mobile stub masts, he worked out mooring problems and ground- handling and he never stopped preaching the virtue of the big gas bags. For a long time, catastrophes, such as the loss of the Los Angeles, the burning of the Hindenburg and the Shenandoah accident kept him from getting far. But now congress has ordered 200 blimps for anti-U-boat work. VEARS ago the Kansas City base- 1 ball team was in a slump and had no bat boy to boot.

Now the War Food adminis­ tration, judged by some to be slumping and certainly lacking a deputy administrator, remem­ bers the same kid, a solid citi­ zen these days, and E. Lee Marshall is drafted again. Since the old Kansas City days, Mar­ shall has held a baker’s dozen of jobs and in his last was, actually a baker. He quit file chairman­ ship of the Continental Baking company to go with the food administration. He was bom on a Missouri farm 58 years ago. When he was only 20 years old he owned his own food brokerage company. Later he man­ aged a bakery, and after a merger was called east to become, eventu­ ally, head of Continental. He is a big man, and a nose flat­ tened at the tip lends an accent of good nature to his round aggressive face. On his family tree is a notable ancestor, John Marshall, first chief justice of the Supreme court. — • — IN THIS year of grace the Bellamy * blueprint for Utopia is like Hit­ ler’s uglier new world, behind sched­ ule.

That was the Jacob P. Ecker branch. Jacob served with one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s generals. He came to this country when his son John was but seven years old. When the Civil war broke out, John fought in 32 engagements, on the Union side. He was left for dead once, but lived to become a major. When peace came, he moved from Phoenicia, in upstate New York, to Brooklyn. Here young Frederick went to school until he was 15 years old, then took a job as office boy with the Metropolitan.

During my 3% years in the Bal­ kans, I came to know that part of the world as no American woman has before. The Italian occupation of Albania drove me out of that country into Jugoslavia. There I met the Serbs. I liked their way of living and their principles. And because I found them most perfectly expressed in a Serbian organization of guerrilla fighters called the Chetniks, I eventu­ ally joined them and became, my­ self, a Chetnik. But not at once. There were many months of adventurous travel, dur­ ing which I was often hounded by Axis agents and accused of being a spy. I witnessed the growing men­ ace of domination by greedy, swag­ gering, war-mad Nazis and Fascists. I became involved in the struggle of the Serbs to maintain their freedom. Joins Chetniks. So it was that I found myself one day in the presence of that-old Chet­ nik leader, Voivoida Perchanatz. It was March 3, 1941, in Belgrade, where I had been living for nearly a year. I had come to join the Chet­ niks. Some months before, my name had been entered in the big, well- worn book of candidates, sponsored by a noted member of the organiza­ tion. I had been trained in the code of Chetnik fighting and taught how to use dagger and revolver. Now I was ready. I stood before the ven­ erable leader, with my right hand on the crossed dagger and pistol, repeating after him the oath: “Do Smrti za srbiju—tako mi bog pomogao.” It means, “Till death for Serbia, by the help of God.” Name Crossed Out When Joining. That was all. Then Perchanatz took the big, old book and solemnly drew a line through my name. “Your life,” he said, “is no longer your own. It is given to Serbia.” This is the only organization In the world, I think, in which your name is not put down, but crossed out when you join. You must regard yourself as good as dead. How proud I was that day! There are many women Chetniks, but I was the only woman of foreign birth and nationality ever to be admitted. I was a Chetnik! And through my mind went the great marching song of Serbia: “Ready, now ready, Chetnik brothers, mighty the com­ ing battle, and on our glorious vic-> tory will rise the sun of Liberty!” Since I was to do intelligence work, my joining was to be kept secret at that time. Many of the leading men of Serbia—politicians, judges, professors — are Chetniks, their membership a dead secret. I was given the customary poison, which I sewed in the collar of my coat, where it could be chewed if my hands were bound. ‘ Serbs Were Stunned. Soon after I became a Chetnik, events in the Balkans moved to a swift climax. Bulgaria joined the Naas, and on the morning of March 25 the news was flashed: “Jugo­ slavia has signed the Axis pact.” The Serbs were, stunned at Qie. in­ credible sell-out of their government. In Belgrade there was a death-like calm for two days. No Serb showed his face on the streets, but behind closed doors a momentous determi­ nation was gathering. It broke on March 27. On that fateftil day, for the first time a small nation of Europe declared war on Germany before it was itself at­ tacked. Little Serbia, had decided to battle the monster. And from that day onward, and because of. that decision, everything went wrong for Germany. It was the-Serbs, whom Germany expected to brush off like a trouble* some mosquito, who spoiled her aim, destroyed her timing. I believe their courageous action saved the British empire and—yes—America, from slavery to Europe, as once before, in 1389, the Serbs’ heroic stand saved Europe from slavery to Asia. The Nazis had intended to attacR Russia in March—my information told me March 16. Hitler had ex­ pected to have Jugoslavia in hand and thoroughly "co-ordinated" by then. Instead, he had to fight. He had to detach an army intend­ ed for Russia and send it down into the Balkans to secure his rear—an army of not less than half a million troops. It took him three months to do what he had expected would be done by routine penetration and ter­ rorization, in no time at all. There can be no question that if Germany had had those three spring months in which to concentrate her full force on Russia, she would have taken Moscow and that life stream of the Soviet, the Volga, and Russia would have been out of the war—a serious situation for the Allies.

Communion at Bethel at the morning worship, and choir practice at Dulin'a at 8 p.m. A sergeant from Advance, and a corporal from Bnrlington were two of eight enlisted men of the army air forces who, operating a portable radio station ou the craggy sides of a Tunisian mountain, maintained a vital beacon for damaged Allied planes during the crnical final phase of the North African campaign. Tbe North Carolinians were Sgt. Oscar B. Poindexter and Corporal Charles Neese. Tbe story of the work which they and their six com­ panions carried on was • detailed in an official army war release: With the use of a transmitting and receiving set, the men opera­ ting the "homing station” gave pi­ lots who needed to land quickly di rections to nearby airdromes. The men were credited with aiding many pilots to make the last leg back from combat to the safety of an airfield controlled by the North west African Air Forces. Rations arrived once a week. The soldiers never got to a town. A small flat rock beside a pool served as tbeir bathmb. They took turns on "K . P.” Sgt. Sidney Troxall, of Rockford, III., a motor malnten- ance man, doubled as their barber. Their only contact with civilization was through a lieutenant from the neatest air base, who served as their courier. For relaxation, the army news release asserted, the group taught two Arab youngsters who lived near by—Mustapha, 1 6 , and Moham­ med, 6 —to sing, "Deep in the Heatt of Texas.” Sgt Poindexter is the son of Mrs. Oscar Poindexter and the late Mr. Poindexter, of Advance. He entered the army April i, 1 9 4 2 . Sgt. Poindexter will keep post ed in what is going on in the old home county in the future, by read ing The Record. C la r k s v il le N e w s . Mr. and Mrs. I.

CHAPTER XV I kept a good lookout, too. I could see Uncle Wylie’s bent figure down at the bridge. In the living room, cooler than the porch, the men were gathered, still talking things over. Finally, they decided to get out the least damaged boat and try to put it into shape. Victor agreed; anything was better than idly wait­ ing. Mr. Quincy could sit on the beach and wave his flag to try to at­ tract a passing craft. “Not the beach!” For the first time I saw Mr. Quincy staring at Victor with genuine suspicion. “Beach isn’t visible, and you know it. Anybody could finish me off down there. No, thanks. I’ll stay where I can be seen by all. Then, ii some killing occurs, you can’t blame me.” He told me afterward, when the men had left the room, he’d really begun to think Quade was our killer. Stark fear had re­ placed his former bantering man­ ner. “At first, I only half suspected him,” he said. “But it’s all too pat. He turns up from nowhere and trouble begins. He could have done all of it. The letter, the money, the fire and the killing. He found Miss Kendall’s body. Judy, stay with your aunt. I don’t trust Victor Quade.” “Well, I do!” I returned with some heat “I guess a woman’s in­ stinct is worth more than—” “Didn’t do that unfortunate Ken­ dall woman much good, did it?” “You’re letting this get you, Mr. Quincy. Perhaps I did it. Perhaps you .did. But I’m sure Victor Quade—” “So that’s how it is!” - If I’d felt the blood flooding my neck before, it crept all over my face now. “I’ll get you a red table­ cloth from the Unen closet and tie it around a broom. That do?” “Nicely,” he said. “Then will you wheel me down the ramps, right where I tell you?” “Uh-huh.” I cUpped up the stairs. The linen closet adjoined the bath­ room. I found the faded old cloth I wanted and was about to run down again when the sound of crying reached me from up the haU. Poor Bessie Norcross! No wonder she couldn’t sleep. I tapped on her door. The weep­ ing stopped immediately. I tapped again. The least I could do was to give her her brother’s message. And the least she could do, I thought, was to learn how he was. I tapped a bit louder. “Miss Norcross!” Rap-rap-rap! “Bessie, it’s Judy.” I heard her stirring and waited, but she didn’t unlock the door. "Bessie, I’ve a message from Hugh. Open the door.” I could hear her bedsprings creak­ ing again. Then footsteps. She came close to the door. This time the cry­ing commenced again. “I’m aU right, Judy. For heav­ en’s sake, go away. And give this to the police when they come.” Amazed, I waited for her to open the door. Instead, I heard a shov­ ing, sound on the floor, and saw at my feet a white envelope. I picked it up and said, “Did you say—po­ lice?” “That’s what I said. Have they come yet?” “No,” I said, backing away, as a feeling of horror came over me. “Well, they will. And they’ll keep me awake hours asking questions, questions, questions! I’ve got to sleep, and the medicine won’t work.” She was fairly raving at me. “Hugh took the rest of it away. Oh, Judy, beg him to give you just one of those veronal—dam him!” I was already heading - for the stairs. “I’U try!” But I had no in­ tention of getting veronal or any­ thing else. What kind of a person was she to help trap her own broth­ er? I never heard of anything so cold-blooded in my life. Her tone, when she said Hugh had taken her dope stuff, had been full of hate. He was such a good brother to her, and now, in his necessity, she not only locked herself in but helped the police. “Gome here, quick! Bessie Nor­ cross thinks her brother’s guilty! Look, die’s written to the police.” Victor shushed me when I told him about Bessie’s letter. “Bless you! Want the crew upon us?” He wagged his dark head at the men who were standing around trying to figure how to get the boat out of the barn loft. Without a moment's hesitation Victor tore open Bessie’s letter. I was tickled mauve that he dared, yet I couldn’t help wondering why he didn’t let Hugh do it. A fleeting suspicion crossed his mind. If Hugh were right and Victor guilty—! uGud justifies ‘tin means, Judy.” He began to stroll away from the barn, while from the piazza Thad- deus Quincy waved a red cloth from the end of his cane and yelled at me. “Just a minute!” I yelled back at him. “Oh, please, Mr. Quade! Does she say he did it?” I said to Quade. Victor gave a low whistle. “This beats the Dutch! Listen, Judy. It’s a confession.” “Not Bessie!” . “Bessie.” Victor made a quick survey to be sure he wasn’t over­ heard and then commenced to read in a low tone:“ ‘I, Elizabeth Norcross, being of sane mind, do hereby of my own ac­ cord, on this Fourth of July, confess to the murder of Rodney Lane Jr., and Lily Kendall. But I did not have anything to do with the death of that poor old man recluse, they call Brown, whom I never even saw, nor the burning of his shack, nor the explosion at the bridge. I feel sure, though, there were no fireworks at the Head the night before the Fourth, both were accidents. The bridge may have collapsed; I don’t know. “ ‘But my brother, Hugh, did not have a hand in any of this murder business, nor know that I had. He is entirely innocent in every way, although several things might look suspicious. I can account for all three: The initialed golf club, the blue scarf and his being seen before the crime of Roddy’s death, in the vicinity, I mean, by Judith Jason and Thaddeus Quincy. He told one lie—to save me. He said, when' he went out, having missed me, last He fell down the stairs and must have struck his head bn the granite floor. night, about the time Judy spoke to a shadow, that He saw my light come on in my room, so he knew I was all right. He couldn’t have. My room is on the other side of the house. Go look for yourselves. He did it to protect me.’ ” We glanced at the inn bedroom and saw she was telling the truth. Then continued: “ ‘Now, about the spot on my coat. It’s blood. Hugh tried to save me there, also. He didn’t borrow any turpentine from Mr. Potter. I did. I tried to clean off the blood,' but made it worse, I guess. Mr. Potter’s door was open a crack. He’d gone to town. I took the bottle from his table.’ " ‘Please, won’t somebody help me down the ramp!” I heard Mr. Quin­ cy holler again, but this time I did not turn around.“Let him quilt,” Victor said, re­ suming the letter: “ ‘To make this horrible story short, I’ll say that my motive was vengeancel Five years ago Roddy Lane jilted me after a summer’s courtship in tips very place. My brother was just a boy, but he saw me have a nervous breakdown and vowed he’d get even with Lane some day. Pd reserved that same pleas­ ure for myself. I take the Rockville paper just to keep track of Roddy. When the auction of the church was advertised I hoped he might show up. Got Hugh to vacation here, os­ tensibly to prove I could again visit the scene of my broken heart and show him the wound didn’t bleed any more. Hugh fell- for it. He’s been a good brother to me. I told him the sight of the Castle, where I’d laughed and danced and had my romance, didn’t give me a pang any longer. It wasn’t true. “ ‘When Roddy walked into the dining room at Gerry’s, all the old bitter-sweet love came back again. And he didn’t even pretend to recog­ nize me! I’d never wronged him. I don’t have to bare my heart any more. The old adage about a wom­ an scorned is enough. I determined to go through with it. He’d- never live to break another trusting heart. “ ‘I left the table, passing but not speaking to him. I couldn’t bear it if he greeted me like an old friend, in that casual, sneering -way of his, which was the way he treated-his castoffs. I’d studied his career and found it full of things he’d neglect­ ed to mention, such as his wife! I’d never dreamed he was already married while making love to me. “ 'I picked up the club Mr. De Witt had been using on the lawn and went for a stroll. Everybody, near­ ly, had gone to town, so I thought. Hugh was in hi* room. I saw Roddy coming down the Castle drive. He wanted to talk to me, he said, to tell me how miserable he’d been—the mistake we’d made of our lives. Could we ever forgive ourselves! And begin again! “ ‘I had to steel myself against his passion. AU the old feeling came rushing back. I was beginning to melt like sugar. He had to get some­ thing out of the church basement before it was auctioned off, he said. I asked him if he’d meant it when he said at supper he was going to buy it. “Buy it? What for?” he said. “I only came to the Head be­ cause I knew you were down here. I knew that was a lie. Hugh and I had only just arrived the week be­ fore, quite unheralded. We went into the church—the door was un­ locked—and he told me to wait but I followed him. “Roddy, are you asking me to marry you again?” I said. He took me in his arms and kissed me. For a minute I was happy. Then he said: “No more wedding beUs for me. Sort of com­ panionate, maybe; darling.” We were standing at the top of the base­ ment stairs. I was so mad. I gave him a push away from me. He feU down the stairs and must have struck his head on the granite, floor. Ugh! I can see him now—aU smashed. I dragged him to the chest and somehow got him in. I forgot about the golf club, which must have faUen down into the pool of blood. I beard somebody on the steps—Miss KendaU, or maybe it was Judy and Mr. Quincy. Any­ way, I ran out the basement door and home. Judy will remember she heard the door squeak, so I must have not quite closed it. I didn’t know what to do. I considered jump­ ing into the sea but hadn’t the cour­age.’ ” “Poor Bessie!” I murmured. Victor turned- the last page. “ ‘I never intended Lily Kendall any harm. She was a bore and a pest, always bragging about her niece—that Gloria Lovelace, and trotting out her pictures. Gloria was her whole life, but I hadn’t come to the Massachusetts coast to hear about her. Hugh and I couldn’t take a walk but it was Gloria all the way. I knew Lily had seen me earlier that fatal evening when she’d gone to watch the sunset, but before reaching the church, of course. I knew she’d seen me wear­ ing Hugh’s blue scarf around my head. I’d lost the scarf while I was with Roddy. When you all went to the bridge to connect with the milkman, Lily didn’t go. Neither did I. We took a walk together to­ ward the sea. She told me she’d picked up my scarf and thrown it into the ocean, but-the-wind had blown it back into the Pirate’s Mouth. She accused me openly ot killing Roddy. I got her to show me where, and gave her a little push, too. She fell you know where, and I rolled her toward the slit in the rock, where she struck. The hand­ kerchief was there, all right, but I didn’t tie it around her neck. It slipped out of my fingers beyond reach into the crevice. I had noth­ ing to fish it out with, and hoped when the tide turned it might be washed away. But some wretch Bed. it around her neck to make it look as if my brother did it. I didn’t strangle her. She died, just as Rod­ dy did, from the fall. If she hadn’t said I killed Roddy because he jilt­ ed me I wouldn’t have pushed ,her in. That word jilted finished me.’ ” “She’s crazy!” I gasped. “Oh, no,” Victor said. “Just a lit­ tle more of it.” And he read the last pitiful explanation of that awful night. “ ‘I was afraid I might be seen, so I crept out of the Pirate’s Mouth, up the other side, the steep way, crawling around the cliff back of the church, and down to the strip of beach to the woods back of Gerry’s bam. I got across the road to the nin and back to my room without being seen. And that’s all. I’U try to answer police questions—if I’m awake. But, before God in Heaven, roy brother is innocent!’ ” "How dreadful!” Victor sighed. “Yes, how dread­ ful. What does she mean—if she’s awake? Does she take sleeping med­icine all the time?” He jerked around and started back. “Hurry, Judy. She’s pretty desperate.” “Don’t worry. She begged me to beg Hugh for another-pill or tablet, or however veronal comes. And I heard her say he’d refused to give her any—dam him. Her words, not mine.” “How she must love him!” “Sounded pretty mad at him through the door.” “Poor,, girl. No wonder she want­ed sleeping tablets after writing all this.” “Wasn’t she brave to-confess!” “Confess? Why, you innocent lit­ tle baby! This document lets Bes­ sie off scot free.” (TO BE CONTINUED) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I CHOOLLesson By HABOLD L- LUNDQUIST, D.

JOHN DESCRIBES TRUE CHRISTIANS LESSON TEXT—I John 2:1-8; 3:13-18; CIS-17.GOLDEN TfiXT-But Ii we walk In the light, as he is in the light, we have fellow­ship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.— I John 1:7. Religion and life go together. To hold the tenets of Christian truth in one’s head and not to have them move the heart is to deny the very faith one professes. Yet this is the danger which faces the believer—a temptation before which many have fallen. The result is that much of "what passes for Christianity in these days is very thin stuff, very remote from the original” (Shoe­ maker). John was not content with such a weak imitation, and in his writings he set up the true standard of a forgiven and transformed life, liv­ ing itself out in love and sacrificial service. If we have forgotten what God meant us to be in Christ, or are members of a church which has strayed from the true and living way, this lesson affords an opportu­ nity for penitence and works meet thereunto.The true Christian life must have I. Sin Forgiven and Life Trans­ formed (I John 2:1-6). Not only at the beginning of the Christian life is sin dealt with and put away, but day by day—yes, mo­ ment by moment—we have the cleansing power of the blood of our Divine Advocate. This is of the utmost importance, for God can only use clean chan­ nels for the outgoing of His power and grace to the world. We know Otir own weakness and the defiling presence of the world. But unlike the unregenerate man, we do not submit and go down; we turn to Christ for forgiveness and cleans­ ing. The transformation of life which thus comes to the believer is shown in obedience to the commandments of God. In the early church there were those who said that if they only believed in Christ as Saviour it made no difference how they lived—and they have their followers in our day. Be sure of this, the essential thing in Christian profession is not how you talk about Christ, but how you walk in obedience to His command­ ments. - Real Christianity will cause us to be H. Hated by the World and Loved by the Brethren (I John 3:13-18). The world, that is, unregenerate mankind, hates a genuine Christian no matter how kind and loving he may be. Why? "Because the Chris­ tian believer gives the non-believer an uncomfortable sense of inferiori­ ty.'The presence of high Christian ideals in marked contrast to his own selfish policies arouses his anger and resentment” (Douglass). The presence of a clean, godly life in a community makes every sinner look that much blacker, and the world, the flesh, and the devil will do everything possible to break down and destroy such a testimony. We, as Christians, should not be surprised that the world hates us. In fact, we should be troubled if it does not-hate us, for if our Chris­ tianity really means anything, it is distasteful to a God-hating world. Beware if sinners find nothing in your life which distresses them and convicts them of sin. In the midst of’enmity the Chris­ tian is not afraid, for he is HI. Indwelt by God and Unafraid In the World (I John 4:15-17). A sincere confession of Christ as Saviour brings a man into that close relationship to God which is ex­ pressed in the words, “God abideth in him, and he in God” (v. 15). The full depth of meaning of these words is obviously beyond our lim­ ited understanding, but we accept the fact by faith and rejoice in it. We recognize that it means that we are brought by our faith in Christ, into the very center of God’s love. Christ, the well-beloved Son, who stands in that blessed'place, draws us into the circle and there we stand in Him. God’s love showed itself in the giv­ ing of His Son as the Redeemer of the world. It was and is unselfish and sacrificial devotion to the eter­ nal welfare of those who merited only judgment. We do not love un­ til we reflect that quality in our lives. Such love casts out fear. Fellow­ ship is impossible in an atmosphere of fear, but love rules it out. In Christ we realize that God first loved us, and then our hearts go out in warm devotion to him. Not only does the Christian no longer fear the day of judgment, but he is unafraid in the present evil world. This is not because of his own strength or ability, but be­ cause through faith in Christ he is “in God,” end “as He is, so are we in this world” (v. 17). No more perfect or blessed ground of assur­ ance could possibly be provided. Let us recognize our position in Him. end be strong and unafraid.

U. S. Treasury Defarlment _The Record’only_$1.00.. L e t U s P r a y fBy Kev. Loy D. Thompson) Stanley Jones says th at prayer is not th e only refuge of th e weak but th e reinforcem ent of th e strong. I wonder if there are not m anv people who have an idea th at it is puerile and weak to pray. T here is one thing of w hich m ost of us are sure and th at is th at “ H e giv- eth power to the faint; and to them that have no tnisrht H e increaseth strength.” T he old hym n th at we so often sing in our church servi. ces expresses most beautifully our inm ost thought and desire: " I Need Th<e Every H our. Most G ra cious Lord; no tender voice tike T hine can peace afford.” I am thankful th at praver is the refuge of the w eak. T he m eral tides flow into our lives as we seek God in supplication. T his is the hope that encourages the average man. W hat about the strong? W hat can th e m an of great endowm ent expect? Does he need help? Often th e strongest m en are most orone to engage In prayer. T hey are not asham ed to ask the G reat C reator for help. Men like Moses and Da­ vid were great in prayer. These tw o m en rank w ith the greatest in the Old T estam ent. T hey w ere great in faith, great in fortitude, great in consecration, great in p ray , er. T hese m en were strong in their own strength but their native en­ dow m ents w ere reinforced and aug. m ented by the power of G od m edi­ ated to them through the practice and processes of prayer. W e are all agreed th a t Jesus was the stron­ gest m orally and spiritually of all the men who have ever visited our earth. Did he find it w orth w hile to pray? H is strength was rein, forced by prayer. If we are hon­ est w ith ourselves we m ust adm it th at prayer is not only the refnge of th e w eak but it is the reinforce­ m ent o f the strong. P rayer is for the strong as well as for the weak.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Who’s News This Week By D elos W h e e le r L ovelace End of War for Nazi Generals He’s Getting to Be More and More Like Daniel Boone Consolidated Features.—'WNU Release. NEW YORK.—Now here, now there, old friends put their brushes to the still incomplete pic­ ture of Brigadier Orde Charles Win- gate who came out of B u r m a’s jungles with a thin fringe of silky whiskers and a belt full of Jap scalps. He is related to Law­ rence of Arabia. Certainly his three- months long commando raid was the only taste of victory that the British enjoyed in their newest try for the eastern shore of the Bay of Bengal. Before this war Wingate was deft, politic in handling Arab- Jewish mixups in Palestine. In 1940 he flew to Abyssinia and steamed up the natives against their Roman overlords. The force he mustered finished off 40,000 Italians and when prim, trim Haile .Selassie returned in triumph to Addis Ababa, Wing­ ate rode beside him on a white charger. General Wavell1 commander-in- chief for Burma, himself called Win­ gate there and then stood clear while the 39-year-old brigadier trained stol­ id men of Lancashire, tough little Gurkas and loyal Burmese into the jungle commando which wrecked airfield, blasted ammunition dumps and bridges and cut railroads be­ hind the Japanese lines. Wingate’s marriage was a sort of commando raid in reverse. Lana Paterson, pretty and 15, sighted him on a Mediterranean liner when he was 30. She announced on the dot that he was the man she would marry. They were married when she was 17. f.*$! M DLAIN FRANK BANE is a ration- * ing expert. The system on which the people of these -still well-fed United States buy victuals is one After Office Hours long He Laid Rules for with Leon VsBuying Victuals ^ nd" other high-flying experimenters. But Bane, they say, was the hardest worker. It was work that he. did after of­ fice hours because he had, still has, one full-time job. He is director of the Council of State Governments, headquartering in Chicago, and, ac­ cording to Governor Stassen of Min­ nesota, is the best administrator in the country. Administrator Bane’s story is that he earned Stassen’s praise by doing next to nothing. He delegates all assignments and sits back until the hired hands drop in to say the job is cleaned up. This system gives himplenty of time for story-telling which he likes, and for rocking chairs, one of which he de­ mands in any home his wife sets up. His stories, his rocking chairs, help explain why every new acquaintance, along about the second meeting, drops all handles and calls him Frank. Fifty now, he has been marriec. for 25 years. He was bom in Vir­ ginia, went to Randolph-Macon col­ lege and Columbia university and served in the last war as a cadet- pilot before he buckled down. Prior to landing with the Council of State Governments he was a football coach, a school principal and super­ intendent and took a whirl at wel­ fare work. MonocIed Gen. John von Broitch apparently still thinks he is In charge of the situation as be crosses the threshold of an Allied headquarters after his capture in North Africa with 200,000 other Nazis. In front of Von Broitch is another captive, General Cramer. Captured generals receive all the courtesy due their rank and Von Broitch looks as though he expects it. Digging in Gardens Instead of Mines These coal miners are shown working on their victory gardens after leaving their posts in the mines. For the second time within a month virtually all mines employing UMW members were paralyzed by lack of manpower. A nation-wide dim-out to eliminate all nonessential use of electricity and a 25 per cent curtailment of all train travel were men­ tioned as possible coal saving devices should they be necessary. A Different Kind of War H f HE Rt. Hon. Sir Archibald Sin- clair’s paternal grandfather was a blinking old codger out of Dickens by Poe who saw calamity in every Most Optimistic “ “ d Of Air Offensive fearfully on Against Germany all that he was a baronet. The maternal grandfather, howev­ er, was an American who piled up much of the wealth Sir Archibald now enjoys, and his spirit must be the one that moves the British sec­ retary of state for air to speak so hopefully of the air offensive against Germany. Sir Archibald’s mother was pretty Mabel Sands of New York. She went to London in the eighties with letters of intro­ duction from the Vanderbilts, her kinfolk; married, and died when her son was eight days old. Her husband died, too, and yonng Archibald was raised by rela­ tives, tutors and guardians, all watched sourly by the herring grandfather. He was educated at Eton and Sandhurst, deco­ rated in the last war, then turned to politics. Sir Archibald is 53 years old now. He has two sons and two daughters of his own, and there are close to 100,000 acres around Thurso castle. For more than 21 years he has been in parliament and for many of those years he has been leader of the Scottish Liberal party. • He has had his orpsent post since the desperate summer of 1940., More than one full month has passed since the big Allied planes stepped up their sweeps over Ger­ many.

Now she’s a radio regular again, on the “Mayor of the Town” series Wednesday nights with Lionel Barrymore. Two ex-choir singers kept the set of Paramount’s "True to Life” filled with .music. They were Mary Mar­ tin and Dick Powell, both of whom began their musical careers singing hymns in the home-town church. They sang in their dressing rooms and on the set; just couldn’t seem to stop. When they weren’t singing the music written for the picture they were rehearsing songs for their radio shows. The tunes for the pic­ ture were written by Johnny Mer­ cer and Hogy Carmichael; no won­ der the stars couldn’t stop singing! Looks as if Zasu Pitts is making a swell comeback in “Let’s Face It,” after concluding her run in her play, “Her First Murder.” Zasu de­ serves a good picture, after work­ ing in the lamentable one called “Tish.” George Reeves spent four years struggling through small roles in big pictures, hoping for the break that would boost him to the top. He got it, opposite Claudette Colbert in “So Proudly We Hail”—and was induct­ed into the army when the picture was finished. Way, way back Universal decided to follow its hilarious “My Man God­ frey” with “My Girl Godfrey,” with Carole Lombard in the title role. Now it’s scheduled again, with Deanna Durbin starring, along with Franchot Tone and Pat O’Brien. You’ll have to see “Stars in the Service” if you yearn to see what your favorite movie heroes are up to in the-armed forces. It will be the first release of the 23rd year of Co­ lumbia’s “Screen Snapshots,” and will present virtually every male star and featured player who is in uniform.

A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTlCies BY THE LEADING AR CORRESPONOENRi Land Bridge Across Pacific By Corey Ford (W N U Feature—Through special arrangement with Collier's W eekly) Toward the middle of August last year, our American pilots in the Aleutians began bringing back re­ ports of sudden and furious Japa­ nese activity on Kiska island. Road construction had been started there, two seaplane hangars and ramps were built, huts and camp buildings were hastily thrown up, sandbagged and revetted, a submarine base was constructed west of Salmon Lagoon. Telegraph poles, brought all the way from Japan, lined the company streets. New gun emplacements were dug on North and South Heads, underground passages were chan­neled beneath the rocks, and anti­ aircraft grew steadily more intense. With Oriental thoroughness they even gave Kiska Island a new name —Narukima1 which means ‘‘Ringing of the Gods.” What that means is anybody’s guess. 0 . S. A rm y E n g in eers B usy. But while the Japs were develop­ ing their base, our army engineers were not idle. On an island in the Andreanof group, only a fighter plane hop from Kiska, intelligence scouts had secretly surveyed a site Cor a new landing field. Now, a s August drew to a close, one of the most remarkable armadas of the war set sail from the Alaska main­ land under the protecting cover of a navy convoy and the ever vigilant PBYs. There were lumbering trans­ ports, a few old freighters, a fishing scow or two, several converted barges, a side-paddle river boat, even a little tug hauling a four- masted schooner loaded to the gun­ wales with gasoline. Every hold was jammed with guns, crates, construc­ tion gear. Every inch of deck space was jammed with men. V . S. F lo tilla H eads W est. Curtained by dense fog—and for once everyone gave devout thanks for the foul weather—the strange Botilla headed westward. No Jap patrol plane marred the murky skies, no prowling submarine spot­ ted them from the sea, as the convoy crept at snail’s pace past the dan­ gerous reefs and shoals that mark the shores of the Andreanofs, breast­ ed the mountainous tides and an­ chored safely at last in the shelter sf the island. The rattle of chains in the hawse- pipes had hardly died away before our troops under full field equip­ ment had clambered down the rope nets into the landing barges. Driving rain and icy seas soaked them to the skin, but at least the storm in­ sured the landing operations against air attack. Artillery protection was quickly established. Jeeps, com­ mand cars, caterpillar tractors, trucks splashed toward the beach. N ew B ase T ak es S hape. . The members of the ground crews pitched in and carried on their backs the equipment for the base that was fast taking shape under the noisy activity of bulldozers and caterpil­ lars. For ten days, they worked in sopping clothes, ate out of tin cans and snatched occasional hours of sleep in the mud and rain.The expedition landed on Sunday, August 30. On Friday, September XI, the vanguard of a squadron of fighter planes dropped out of the gray skies onto a finished runway. At last with a base only a couple of hundred miles from the enemy, we were able to cut down the worst of our weather losses and to put a striking force of fighters and me­ dium bombers over Kiska. Our initial visit was in the nature of a celebration. The mediums went in over Kiska at 50 feet—believed to be the first deck-level mission ever conducted by American bombers— and destroyed three large trans­ ports. Fighter planes swarmed over the target like small boys raiding an apple orchard, shot up everything on the water, and shot down every­ thing in the air. Week after week, month after month, the aerial slugging match went on. All fall and winter and spring, amid the foulest flying con­ ditions anywhere in the world, the navy patrol planes would scout the lonely seas. Now and then, when the skies opened up, army bombers and fighters would take off to drop another lethal load. They knew the staggering toll the weather was taking in ships and men; they knew the hopelessness of dislodging the enemy by intermit­ tent bombing raids alone. But they knew that slowly, ever so slowly, we were inching westward closer and closer to the Kiska guns, and our forces were readying themselves during the spring for Uiat all-out of­ fensive which would drive the In­ vader forever from our islands. “There are many roads which lead right to Tokyo,” President Roosevelt said recently, .“and we shall neglect none of them.” O ne W hole C hicken C a n B e M ade Into T w o M eals You’re th e clev er hom em ak er who sav e s on chicken by using only h alf a chicken fo r co astin g . T on can h a v e th e stuffing, too, by m ounding it n n d er th e chicken w hen you ro a st it in th e p a n to g e t a ll th e w onderful flavor of th e m e a t in it. Most families are so reduced that few homemakers find it necessary to stew or roast a whole chicken for their meals. In­ stead, it’s much smarter to use one half of the chicken for stew­ ing, the other half for roasting, or perhaps in making numerous and delicious dishes using cut up chicken. Chicken is a good source of pro­ tein and we can use it in place of meat dishes regularly. In addition it’s a delicious food that combines well with many other types of food, and goes with most vegetables and fruits in the menu. Consider, for example, many of the chicken salads which can be made up with fruits or vegetables, and for sandwich fillings. Then, too, you can serve chicken either warm or cold with many vegetables and fruits, as a good start on getting what you need of the seven basic food groups necessary to health. You probably have your own way of stewing and roasting chicken, but instead of using one whole chicken for either of these methods, split it, use one half for stewing, the other for roasting. Cut the fowl in half, lengthwise, and cook one half with several carrots, celery, parsley, onion, and seasonings in enough water to cov­ er until tender. Make dumplings, if you like, to go with the stew. •For roast chicken, cook stewing hen split in half lengthwise until ten­ der. Mound 4 to 6 cups of well- seasoned dressing In bottom of shal­ low pan, well greased where dress­ ing is placed. Arrange dressing to keep outline of chicken. Press cooked half of chicken cut side down over dressing. Brush chicken with melted fat. Bake uncovered in a hot oven (400 degrees) until chicken is nicely browned, about % hour. A few leftover pieces of chicken either from the roast or from stew­ ing can go into a salad. You’ll like this combination with fruit: C hicken an d F r a it S alad Bow l.

Cover salad bowl with shredded lettuce. Arrange grapes over half of top, oranges over other half. Pass french dress­ ing.Still another way of stretching your meat, or chicken, if there is absolutely enough to go around is to serve it with po­ tato salad. You may like it hot or you may like it cold. Here’s one that’s hot: L ynn S ay s: T he Score Card: Ceiling prices have been announced on many rationed foods, and it’s a good idea to consult the lists when you go shopping. It will help you in buying and budgeting. Most of the times we’re con­ cerned with buying foods in sea­ son, but it’s more important to buy in season now when you’re preparing to put up foods for the fall and winter. In case you don’t have your own garden, you might be of help in picking vegetables and fruits to some farmer who does not have enough help. If you are canning, this is a splendid way of getting fresh produce. Those of you city dwellers who can neither have your own Vic­ tory garden or help pick prod­ uce should get to the market early to get as fresh produce as possible.

The apostle John, under the inspiration of the Holy ' Spirit, wrote the two personal letters known to us as II and In John, They abound in sound spiritual, practical advice. Note that these two words belong together, for what is truly spiritual cannot help but be tre­ mendously practical and perfect for the direction of thought and life. In these letters five admirable les­ sons are taught Let us give heed to them. They are appropriate to our day. I. S et a n E x am p le B efore Y onr C hildren (II John 4-6). We may not like to admit it, but our children are largely what we make them by their training—or lack of it—in the home. Parents have the grave and at the same time precious responsibility of being what they want their children to be. We set the mold of their thinking and acting, not only about material things, but mentally and spiritually, which is far more important. Above all we must teach them by precept and example to love God su­ premely, and to walk after His com­ mandments. Father, mother, have yon done your duty? Are your chil­ dren “walking in truth” (v. 4)? n . B e on G nard A gainst F a lse T each ers (II John 7-11). We are not to countenance false teaching even by entertaining such teachers, or having close fellowship with them. To create the impression before the world and the Church that they are “not so bad,” by ap­ pearing as their friends, is to par­ take of their evil works (v. 11). This is a serious matter, and one which is a problem in the Church today. Such teachers may easily be rec­ ognized. They are aptly described by Dr. Douglass: “In all ages the Church has been plagued by those who want to substitute something for pure Christian faith, or to embroider it with bright ideas of their own con­ ceiving. Such people may try to strip religion of its supernatural as­ pect and reduce it to a merely ra­ tionalistic system. They may seek to slyly loosen the moral standards of the Church because their own lives are deficient when measured by such standards. They may try to mini­ mize the teaching of the cross be­ cause it stands for sacrifice.” Watch against them, and stand against their destructive teaching. i l l . B e D iligent in P u ttin g F o r­ w ard T ra e T each ers (HI John 5-8). The door which should be closed against false teachers should be opened wide to those who are faith­ ful-teachers of the truth. This refers primarily to the hos­ pitality of the home, and reminds us of a grace which has been all but forgotten in these days of small apartments. Whether we are able to open our homes to God’s servants or not, we can show a Christian spirit of genu­ine hospitality in helping to bring them forward (v. 6 ) in their work. This may be done by gifts of money, by kindness shown in time of need, by fc real interest in their work, by recommending them to others who wish to hear the truth. Do everything possible, then, to hinder the false teacher, and be just as diligent to put forward the minis­try of the true man of God. IV . D o N ot T ru st P ro u d , Self- S eeking L e a d e rsh ip (III John 9-11). A man may be orthodox, and in­ tensely loyal to the denomination, and at the same time be a wicked man whose example is to be shunned. No word is said against the teaching of Diotrephes. He was not condemned for being careless about, the affairs of the church, or unfaithful in his attendance and de­ votion to its interest as he saw them. - The sin-of Diotrephes was pride, a desire to be the boss of the church, “No. I man” in its affairs. Lacking the true spirituality which always re­ sults in humility, he opposed the apostle. Not only did he refuse to receive him, but used pressure on others who were willing to be hos­ pitable. V . E u n la te th e L ife of th e M an o f G ood R ep o rt (III John 12). A good man! No words of praise could possibly surpass such a testi­ mony. The world is full of brilliant, skilled, wealthy and prominent peo­ ple, but there is an appalling dearth of good men and women. How refreshing to meet, and how delightful to know, such a man—such a woman. Like Demetrius, they have not only the witness of the Church, and of the truth, but also of “all men.” But last week we said the world hates real Christians. It does, but it also respects them, and is forced to bear witness to their reality and goodness. Professed fellowship with God in Christ which does not result in good­ ness of life may well be scrutinized. 1> IGHT from your scrap-bag steps this footwear!

T be news­ paper, quoting state com m itteem en it did not nam e, said th e chiel rea. son for tbe dissention was the re. sentm ent of the Sonth Carolina unit of apparent efforts of the na. tional com m ittee ” to woo th e N e. gro vote at th e expense of southern feelings.” T be state com m itteem en, t h e H erald said following a m eeting in Colom bia two weeks ago, instruct­ ed W inchester Sm ith of Barnmell county, state chairm an of the com­ m ittee, to w rite th e national com­ m ittee of their refusal to comply w ith the reauest for a contribution to national party funds.

Sbe finds, in an old chest, the body of a man iden* lined as Roddy Lane. The body disap­ pears a few hours later. A fish shed burns, apparently killing an old man named Brown who is supposed to have lived there. Judy finds Roddy Lane’s dia­ mond in her handbag. Lily Kendall is found dead, with Hugh Norcross’ scarf around her neck. Albion Potter gives Judy a picture of the chorcb he has just finished. Bessie Norcross writes a con­ fession. Now continue with Judy’s story. CHAPTER XVl ‘ She confessed to save—him!” , Even I could see it, now that Vic- Ior had pointed it out. During the reading, I’d noticed a few discrep­ ancies in Bessie’s confession, but no­ where near the number he had. Take the wind itself, for instance. It couldn’t have blown the blue .scarf back into the Pirate’s Mouth be­ cause there was a land breeze be­ fore the tide turned, and the place was entirely sheltered. “We’ve got to show it to the po­ lice.” “And incriminate the brother she tried to save?” “May not incriminate him,” Vic­ tor said. “It’s the cleverest thing I ever read. What Bessie says about her light not showing from the path to the bluff; little Utings like that. And her timing’s pretty good, too, only she’s forgotten Mr. Quincy was sitting on the piazza all the eve­ ning, until she wheeled him down to the church. He saw her go up to her room, before dark, and she didn’t come down again. But Hugh did, he admits. I think it may have been Hugh you spoke to, later. We were walking back rapidly to where the men were working on the boat. Thaddeus Quincy had man­ aged the ramp somehow, and was wheeling himself toward us with his table cloth tied to his cane. He passed us, giving me a reproachful glance, I thought. “Don’t forget what I told you, Judy.” And he shot a warning nod at Victor. Then he stationed him­ self in the middle of the road and began waving his signal. "We’ve got to find Norcross and tell him about this, Judy.” “He’s around somewhere. I should think the scarf would eliminate him from the suspects, wouldn’t you?” “Perhaps.” “That makes you and me, Bessie and Hugh, Aunt Nella and Uncle Wylie, who aren’t on the list. Why, it only leaves Potter and De Witt and Quincy!” v “Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Are you forgetting your Uncle Wylie knew Miss Kendall hadn’t been strangled, at a glance. He was right, it happens, but personally I had to make an examination, to be sure.” "Now, who’s crazy? Maybe be n.ade an examination, too!” I rushed up the steps in high dudg­ eon. Perhaps I’d better take Thad- deus Quincy’s advice. Victor Quade seemed to say things like that ev­ ery little while, which forced me to suspect the suspicioner. Wylie Ger­ ry' Hugh Norcross was coming down the stairs. He came directly toward me. "Bessie says she gave you a letter for me. I don’t know what’s gotten into her. She won’t speak to me. Locked herself in.” Was she afraid of him? I was glad I could see the men across the road and hear my aunt’s movements in the kitchen. Then Bessie’s de­ spair made me forget my own fear. "You didn’t give her any more of that sleeping medicine?” "I’U say I didn't. She takes far too much of the stuff. Why, an over­ dose—” "Exactly. Don’t let her have it. You’ll understand when you—” I nearly said when he’d read the let­ter, which would have been an ad­ mission that I’d done so myself. “You’re sweet, Judy. My sister’s nerves are an awful care. Go up and see if you can get her to quiet down, will you? I wish she was out of this mess. And you, too. When it’s over there’s something I want to say to you. Just now all I dare say or think of is—be careful.” He was squeezing my hand till it hurt. "Where’s the letter?" “Mr. Quade has it. He’s with the others at the bam. He told me to find you. It’s important, Hugh.” He took a few steps forward. “You tell Bessie I’ll be back soon, will you?” “Sure,” I said, glad to escape the devouring gaze of his haggard eyes. I knocked on Bessie’s door. She was crying. “Hughie? I can’t sleep! I can’t sleep!” “It’s Judy. Want me to get you a cup of tea?”“No, thank you. Did you give my brother the letter?” “He has it now.”I heard a scrambling off the bed. “Did he give you the—my medi­ cine?” “No. Said you couldn’t have any more till night. Do let me in, Bes­ sie—Miss Norcross. I’ll rub your head if it aches so badly.” But evidently she’d flung herself on the bed again, for muffled sobs were her only reply. I gave it up finally, tiptoeing past poor Lily Ken­ dall’s room and on up into my own. The picture of the now hateful old church stood in a corner of the hall near my door, where Victor had moved it when he’d gone to see if the $500 was still there. It stood on a newspaper, where Albion Potter had thoughtfully placed it to save the floor. I didn’t pick it up until I’d made sure about the money.- It was still where I’d left it! Certain peculiarities in the letter came to my mind, and it occurred to me at least Bessie had given me some hand-writing to compare, only I hadn’t examined it closely. I’d go down and try to take a look. But first I picked up the picture to put it into my room. A wet painting isn't easy to han­dle, but when it’s wet on both sides it is really difficult. Potter had painted the entire back of the can­vas an apple green, which was even wetter than parts of the picture it­ self. I, too, got it on my hands, and just when I placed the thing under one of the windows to dry, it fell over. I made a grab, fearing it would be spoiled and smooched, and caught it, doing more damage probably than as if I’d let it go. Now my hands and a bit of floor be­ yond the newspaper were a horrid sight. I seized the paper and tried to wipe off the place where my hand had been, messing up the back mis­ erably. Then I stood the picture up again and raced downstairs to wash my hands. Never heard of painting a canvas on both sides before. Per­ haps the artists did it that way now, or maybe Potter had painted on the “You sick, Mr. Norcross?” back of another picture. It didn’t matter. The thing was not to miss anything outside. I could see Mr. Quincy still wav­ ing his red banner at the dots in the harbor. The men were hammer­ ing at the bottom of the Eleanor. The boat, they called to me, was virtually water tight—they hoped. The thing was to get it to the shore. Would I go get Wylie Gerry to tell them how? It was too heavy to car­ ry, and they were afraid they’d scrape the patch off if they just dragged it along. Weren’t there any rollers? “Uncle Wylie’ll show you. He’s at the bridge.” If De Witt or Potter thought I was their Western Union boy they were much mistaken. I skedaddled over to where Victor was standing beside Hugh, who had just finished reading his sister’s let­ ter. Now he held it out to Quade. “For God’s sake, what shall I do?” “You could destroy, it.” “You read it?” Victor nodded. “You all invited me to sort of take charge. I'll help any way I can, Norcross.” “But surely you don’t think—? Bessie? She wouldn’t kill an ant! She’s afraid, that’s all. And she’ll stick to her story. You see, it wouldn’t do any good to destroy this. She'd only confess all over again. She knows I’m guilty. You’ve got to believe me, man! I murdered Roddy Lane.” “Hugh Norcross! 1—1 don’t be­ lieve you,” I gasped, tears smart­ ing my eyes. He didn’t have the— the courage, I was thinking. Victor said: “And Miss Kendall? You killed her, too, of co:.rse. Why?”"Because she knew too much. Be­ cause she saw me coming out of Potter’s room with that confounded cleansing fluid of his, and because she was on the church steps when Roddy , and I had the row and I hit him. So I strangled her with my scarf. Bessie? Absurd!” He looked like a handsome dark shadow, haunted by remorse. He crumbled his sister’s letter in his hand. “I shall tell the authorities every­ thing. Will you agree to leave her out of this? Here, Judy,” he reached in his pocket and drew out his wal­let, removing a few lean bills. “Give her this. I’ll be taken to jail as soon as they come. I’d rather not see her. You tell her, Quade, to keep her mouth shut.” ' “Don’t take it, Judy. I’m telling you to keep your own mouth shut, but I suppose it’s too late.” “What’s all this? What’s all this?” None of us had noticed the minister and Quincy, who’d come up behind us and were listening for dear life. “God bless my soul! Not you, Nor­cross?” Thaddeus Quincy wheeled back a pace and took a firmer grip on his cane, even yanking off the red cloth. “Knew it was you all the time, Norcross—last night when you wouldn’t answer Judy and me.” “Yes, it was I. On my way to kill Lane.” “Good heavens, Norcross, do you know what you’re saying? You don’t have to admit anything,” Victor said. “Less you say the better for you.” “I want to talk. I want to con­ fess. I wish to God the police would come—say, what's Potter running for?” We could all see the artist climb­ ing into his car and driving like mad down the narrow Neck. “To get Gerry to help us latmch the boat.” For a moment our eyes watched the car, but our ears were tuned to Hugh. He was ranting, almost the way his sister did. “I came down here to kill Lane for what he did to my sister. I saw him coming down the Castle drive­ way. We went over to the church and fought it out, man to man. Hit him too hard, I guess. Anyway, he died and I put him in the chest, just as Judy said. I ought to have locked it, but I heard someone coming.” Following the pattern—following the pattern—just like the letter. “Hugh, let me see that a min­ ute. I’ll give it right back,” I said to him. He didn’t seem to care what he did. He automatically handed me the crumpled ball of a letter. I turned my back and took a good look at the writing. Neat, tiny, very individualistic. Nothing at all like mine, with the money, I gave it back to him. “—so I tied the scarf around her neck and choked her,” he was al­ most shouting. “But she wouldn’t fall through the Pirate’s Mouth, so—” “God help us all!” ejaculated De Witt. I could see Potter’s car coming back with my uncle. "How much money was it you sent me, Hugh­ ie?” I had never called him that pet name before, but he was so distrait, and I couldn’t think him capable of all those crimes. “What ails him?” Albion Potter asked. “He’s confessed,” shrilled Mr. Quincy. Anyone would have thought he was enjoying himself. “Norcross? Well, I vum!” Uncle Wylie marched straight up to Hugh. “Keep your trap shut, young feller, me lad. Iffen you did kill Lane I guess we’ll all back you up. It was —self-defense, wam’t it?” 1 “And Old Man Brown?” “And Miss Kendall?” The men gathered around the boat, shaking their heads and mur­ muring to themselves. They might be good witnesses as far as Lane was concerned, but the others— Uncle Wylie screamed Sn a high falsetto, the way he did whenever he wanted anything: “Nella!” . Auntie came running. “Where’d you hide the Eleanor’s rollers?” “Hide ’em? How should I know? Up in the barn chamber, ain’t they?” She stood, a trim whisp of a woman in a neat checkered bib apron, her gnarled hands on hci hips. Then, catching sight of Hugh. “You sick, Mr. Norcross?” Hugh raised haggard eyes am said nothing. “I declare I feel a spell cornin’ on too. Want some of my elderberry wine?” Her eye fell on the patch ot the boat. “Land Sakes! I’d ruther put to sea in a barrel, ’tain’t safe is it, Wylie?” Uncle Wylie- was examining the patch. He looked at it outside and in, then he scratched his head. “Nev­ er git acrost the gaj>. Cove nei­ ther. Course we can roll her dowr and-see. Me, I’d tear that thing off and do it right.” “Why don’t you do it then?" h» wife asked tartly. “Take too long. Let’s see if she’ll hold water,” “Oh, what the heck!” Hugh sprang up to help get a log under the Elea nor. “Let’s get going. I want th». police to come. I want to be ar­ rested before my sister comer down.” Thaddeus Quincy wheeled himst lf out of the way. De Witt stood with -closed eyes, praying again, I thought Potter and Uncle Wylie took hold of the boat. Aunt NeIIa came down the steps and I went to meet her. She shot a querulous glance at Hugh and asked me what he’d meant I tried to tel' her in a breath.<TO BE CONTlNVEDf Wartime Way of Living Calls For Smart, Practical Fabrics By CHERIE NICHOLAS * 7 W & AGAIN fashion's spotlight is turned full foice on cotton fabrics No wonder that cottons arc so vastly important, for the piescnt wartime way of living calls for sturdy serviceable dura­ tion fabrics, and cottons are just that When it comes to economy, proct.odlity, versatility and attractive­ ness, made more so by the intriguing styling designers are giv­ ing them, cotton fashions offer the best clothes investment one can make in these days of high patriot­ ism and earnest endeavor. Not only are cottons economical in purchase price, but they don’t have to be pampered, as most of them can be tossed into the family wash­ ing machine with minimum time and effort, and many of them re­ quire little or no pressing. It is just such practical qualities as this which make cottons absolutely es­ sential to our wartime way of liv­ ing. The American public itself con­ firms this by having used during the past year 1 2 billion yards of cottons, which is 50 per cent more than in normal times. Let’s take a look at this season’s cottons, which make practical wear­ ability, serviceability and simplicity of line their plea. It’s the unusual­ ness of the cotton fabrics them­ selves that’s making big news. There’s denim, for example, ordi­ nary kitchen-drudgery, farm-labor denim, suddenly becoming the toast of the elite as smartest-ever fabric for city sophisticates to wear. Made up in town suits, in skirts to team with dainty blouses, and in Victory garden work clothes, denim has cer. tainly gone on parade. Then there’s news in striped ticking, looking as clean and fresh and eye-appealing in tailored modes as you please. Cot­ ton tweeds, too, in stunning large pastel plaids as well as conservative glen plaids look new and exciting. Other popular cottons include gab­ ardine, Bedford cord, seersucker, gingham, chambray (especially in gray), and a giant waffie pique known as “Quiltweve,” many of them as beautifully tailored as the Best of woolens. For softer afternoon types there are crinkled organdies, voile, eyelet batiste, dotted swiss and pique, and a new cotton mesh which is cool ,and good looking. Dinner types pre­ vail among evening gowns, which tend toward the sweet young styles in glazed chintz, flowered sateen, organdie, as well as pique. The .theme of these few para­ graphs, however, have to do with practical workaday fashions, such as the white-collar gingham frock centered in the group. It’s a type tuned to marketing and kitchen duty and even town wear, if your stork is on summeT schedule. The dress is easy to adjust because it’s full from the yoke and ties to fit with the sash. You can get it in red, green or brown woven cotton checks. Victory garden workers have dis­ covered that cotton play suits are just about the most practical thing they can wear while digging and hoeing and weeding. Shown to the right is a three-piece consisting of clam-digger shorts, and a button-on skirt of blue-and-white striped Bed­ ford cord, the blouse being of white poplin trimmed with blue rickrack. The golf enthusiast in the inset wears a striped chambray shirt. There are matching shorts with this (not shown) and the gloves are of crochet cotton string. American women are wise also to the fact that the two-piece swim suit that has a matching beachcoat is a sensible buy, in that the coat can al­ ternate as a housecoat. You can get these suits made of glazed chintz, percale, poplin or gingham. Women who work also want slack suits of denim, gabardine, covert corduroy and seersucker. Released by Western Newspaper Union. New Sleeves Watch sleeves! This is a season when they are made to play all sorts of high-style capeis. So be sure Ihat ycur sleeves are of the newer types that date your dress or your blouse as of summer IC !3 vintage. Here you see a gown pictured that is sleeved most intr gvingly with new-type flaring capeiike sleeves with scallops daintily appliqued with cutout petals of the very fine rayon -chiffon in fresh periwinkle blue and white print which fashions the en­ tire dress. This season’s sheer rayon prints were never prett er, and i'or warm summer days they make the dress ideal. This most attractive !inner gown is of the nuw-so-fash- ,enable short length. ) The Farmer’s Wife Gets Smart Prints It seems that big mills are con­tinuing to turn out many colorful prints on bag sheetings sold on priorities for feed bags. Using old rollers as they dot the sheeting is apt as not to be printed in designs that once held forth on some of fash­ ion’s most style-minded cottons. Women on the ,farm are collecting these bags which count up into num­ bers, converting them into fashions for , the family. The fact that a craze for home-sewing is sweeping the country plays right into the hands of willing seamstresses. Then too, pattern-makers are making it a point to create styles of simplicity that can easily be made at home. New Sport Frocks With a Clamoar Touch Here’s something new. It is the sports dress that has gone glamour­ conscious. Not that this utilitarian type of frock is giving up any of its serviceability, but it is a fact that this season fashion does not frown upon a few trimming touches on oth­ erwise very simply tailored casual dresses. In some of the better shops they are showing dresses of wrinkle- resisting spun rayons that are pret­ tily colorful, and that take on per­ haps a bit of embroidery, or scal­ lops down the front opening of coat dress types. Smart indeed is a spun rayon frock that takes on. a high- style touch of eyelet embroidery epaulets over the shoulders. I ASK M E T T T ANOTHER A G eneral Quiz 9?9999 The Qaestiona 1.

L ast week the U nion Republican carried a lengthy article from the Lum ber D igest of P ortland, Oregon, re­ garding Mrs. Roosevelt’s constant associations w ith negroes in w hat th a t paper regarded as an effort to tie up th e huge negro vote for the President in 1944.

Loy D. Thom pson) In the stndy of St. Paul’s prayer life we are impressed with the fact th at he im portunes God for his friends, He places a great value on Christian friendship. Timothy was bis dearest friend, He had influenc. ed Timothy to become a Christian. H e trusted the voung m an and look­ ed to him in his old age for com fort and fellowship. Think of bis tender­ ness of heart as indicated by his ref­ erence to Timothy. “ I thank God, whom I serve with my forefathers w ith pure conscience, th at w ithout ceasing I have rem em berance of thee in my prayers night and day; great­ ly desiring to see thee, being mind­ ful of thy tears, th at I may be filled with joy; when call to rem em berance the unfeigned faith th at is in thee.” This is a picture of deep sincerity and profound devotion. Tbe word friendship m eant so m uch in tbe life of Paul. He often used words like aouship, and discipleship and heir­ ship and worship, and stewardship and fellowship. I think th at fellow- ship was one of tbe richest, most m eaningful, m ost inspiring and up­ lifting words of til. Fellom hipw ith God and m an supplied spiritual food for St. Paul. Paul was in prison at R om e'at this tim e and was soon to stand trial before one of the moat infem yns rulers of all history, Nero. His heart hungers for the compan ship of Timothy. If he ever needed a friend it was a t this tim e. He knew Timothy would understand why he was in prison and could sym­ pathize w ith him. Millions of men are in concentra­ tion cam ps in all quarters of the globe and how they long for Chris tian fellowship. AU of us have friends in camp and overseas and bow many of them long for tho fellowship of prayer. They are praying, no doubt, as they come into grips with stark reality every day. They believe we are praying for them . Shall we dis­ appoint them ? Shall we fail them in their u tter loneliness and perchance, homesickness?

Some of General Doodlittle’s flyers landed close by and were assisted by the missionaries and Chinese residents. W hen the Japanese approached, the missionaries w ithdrew into tbe hills some tw enty miles away, and, upon tbe retreat of the Japanese, moved back to the mission They found nothing h a t destruction and desolation confronting them . Farm s had been completely laid waste. T h e whole countryside wreaked bv death in every home. The few country people who bad stayed on, hoping to be allowed to continue to work their fields, bad been Bavagelv tortured and p u t to death. The Rev.

TH E DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Who’s News This Week By DeIps Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. AJEW YORK.—Maj. Gen. Eugene M. Landrum, who snatched the island of Attu back from the Japs, is exactly the type of man you could Here Definitely We ture^wrest- Have a Man Not of ing a hard Style but of Action bJtJenjsSip of land like .Jhat away from a wily foe. Short, stocky, and firm jawed, he radiates pugnacity and courage. Those who favor the fashion plate genus in their military men would never glance twice at him. If they met him in civies on the street of a small town they would pick him out as the hard working village doctor, especially if he were carrying his battered Glad­ stone bag and had his well-caked black pipe clamped between his teeth. He is 52. General Landrum is a man who got to the top the hard way. Back in 1910 he entered the army as a private in the coast artillery. By the time the Unit­ ed States entered World War I he was wearing the silver bar of a first lieutenant on his shoul­ ders. Two months later he bad become a captain. In the years following the Armistice he kept moving slowly and quietly ahead. He was not the kind of officer to make the headlines, especially in peacetime, but his superiors knew him as plug- ger and they approve of him. He was graduated from the Army War college in 1936 and just six months before Pearl Harbor, he received his colonelcy. General Landrum is a native of Florida and he calls Pensacola his home town. Mrs. Landrum, how­ever, is now in California. Like many another wife of an army or naval officer she likes to look at the same ocean her husband does.

He ac- The Laws Stick taaUy start- ed out as an attorney, in fact after earning his degree at the University of Washing­ ton. Then he took on military train­ ing as a sideline with the Idaho Na­ tional Guard. In 1916 he went to the Mexican border in the fracas that served as a curtain raiser to the first World war. He had hardly settled back at his law books be­ fore the real show started. On March 27, 1917, he was called back to the colors and eight days later was commissioned a second lieu­ tenant of infantry. Christmas eve, 1917, is one he will always remember, for bis outfit sailed for France just as St. Nick hitched up his rein­ deer. Overseas he was switched to the air service as an ob­ server and he finally reached the front in a plane in August. A few days later he was the proud possessor of a Silver Star, earned in an air battle with the Germans. Like many another veteran of the AEF, Lynd found civilian life dull and in 1920 he rejoined the army, ■this time for good. He has an­ other air medai now. He won the second award for a spectacular re­ connaissance flight out over the. Pa­cific in the first year of the present war. More recently he was at Attu, and the other day he visited the White House to tell President Roose­ velt what his fliers had done to lick the Japs there. «---- WHEN the censors finally re­ leased the news that Artemus L. Gates, assistant secretary of the navy for air, had been on a tour GettingtoZoneof cific^fight- Battle Is Second ing front, N ataretoG ates his longtime friends said in unison, “We might have known it.” In World War I his experiences were like something out of fiction. When the war clouds lowered over the United States 25 years ago, Gates was in his junior year at Yale. He had just been made captain- elect of the football team, an honor earned at tackle for two seasons. By April, however, he had aban­ doned his cap and gown for a naval uniform. • In the summer of 1916 he had had a fling at flying and it did not take him long to get into naval aviation, then still in its infancy. August, 1917, found him in France and long before the Armistice he was commanding the U. S. naval air station at Dunkirk. While there he was decorated for saving the crew of a British plane which had crashed into the sea. Lat­ er the French drafted him for one of their bombing squadrons. In an air battle behind the enemy lines in October, 1918, his .plane was shat down. When the Germans rushed up to grab him, they found him calmly trying to destroy his ship. On the way to prison, Gates managed to leap through the window of his train and escape. Just before he reached the Swiss border, he was recap­ tured, however, and on November II he was a prisoner in Germany. Hundreds Offer Home to Soldier’s Waifs T * Their father is in the army and their mother is ill in the South, so the four bright-eyed brothers pictured at top were waiting at the Chil­ dren’s Aid society in New York for someone to give them a home until their parents can come back. Hundreds responded to their plea ex­ pressed via a newspaper. Among them was William G. Helis, mil­ lionaire oil man shown at bottom. HeIis is a Greek-Ameiican who has contributed over $1,000,000 to Greek war relief. He Made Salt Water Drinkable “Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink.” This cry of the shipwrecked sailor is no longer true. Lieut. Clare R. Spealman, USN (left), has discovered a simple process to make sea water drink­ able which can be carried out in a few minutes by a shipwrecked sailor. He is shown being congratulated by Capt. William L. Mann. Paralysis Healer at the White House £ !EOT — i t : * - I ^ President Roosevelt meets a famous AnstraIian nurse, Sister Kenny, who has developed a new method of treating infantile paralysis. Pic­ tured above are President Roosevelt, Basil O’Connor, head of the National Paralypis Foundation, and Sister Kenny. She was a luncheon guest at the White House. WAVES Leam to Rule Waves The historic Charles river in Cambridge, Mass., where Harvard mas­ culine crews practiced and raced for many decades, is now the scene of a training headquarters for WAVES. A group is shown carrying their shell from the boathouse. They learn to row, handle a small boat, and i‘-:er water lore. Warning! “ Yon guys better get out of here while the getting’s good.” That’s what the characters on this imita­ tion leaf told the Japs on Kiska island. The leaves were dropped by U. S. aviators to enemy forces who are supposed to have an aversion for the leaves, supposedly from a Japanese ESn tree. The Road Back With the Axis cleaned out of North Africa, refugees like the ones shown above can move back into their homes. These people are returning to Bizerte aboard their carriage which is fitted out with springs, rub­ ber tires, and a wheel assembly from a Rolls Royce automobile. Zip Off Zoots a Servicemen and zoot suit wearers fought a small war of their own in Los Angeles, sending many youths like the one above to jails and hos­ pitals.

Penny (“Blondie”) Singleton is a very proud young woman. She now answers to the name of Mrs. Major Sparks—her husband was recently promoted, after performing distin­ guished service as a captain. Pen­ ny’s more elated than he is! If it’s announced that Capt. Clark Gable will appear at your local movie house in a new picture, “Wings Up,” don’t expect to see a great deal of him in it. The film’s an Office of War Information short subject, and it’s certainly worth see­ ing, but Gable isn’t on the screen much of the time. He acts as nar­ rator, and makes an appearance only in the concluding scenes. Now you’ll have to add another Ameche to your list. He’s Jim Jr., son of Jim Sr. of the Sunday “Here’s to Romance” broadcasts, nephew of Don. The five-year-old appears on CBS in the “Big Sister” serial. To make the cloud effects for the Heaven scenes in “A Guy Named Joe,” starring Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne, the air must be un­ disturbed and the temperature even. So an air lock system is being used on the heavy double studio doors, and a watchman’s been installed to see that the outer one’s closed be­ fore the inner one’s opened. Of course the cast has nicknamed him Gabriel. Among the congratulatory wires Bill Stern received when he switched to a Friday night spot on NBC was one signed by George Raft, Betty Grable and Tommy Dorsey. He’s slated to make a movie with them some time next fall. They put Marie McDonald into a wig, for the first time in he* life, for scenes in “Tornado,” since her own blonde hair was too short. So— when she lighted a gas heater in her dressing room, gas which had escaped during the night exploded in a burst of flame, which caught the long ends of the wig. The wig was ruined; Marie would have been badly burned if she hadn’t thought fast and snatched it off. Signe Hasso, of “Assignment in Brittany,” has been signed to con­ tract by Metro, and around the stu­ dio they are predicting that she will be one of the biggest stars in Holly­ wood after two or three roles/in top pictures. Anne Shirley, the romantic inter­ est of “Bombardier,” has the larg­ est collection of service men’s flying wings of any Hollywood star—42. But Donna Reed has a set of flying reports taken from a Jap flier shot down at Guadalcanal, a bomb frag­ ment from London, and walrus tusk sewing needles from Iceland, all sent her by soldier admirers. Susan Peters and her fiance, Richard Quine, had a bad spill the other day. They were showing off before some friends with a bit of trick double riding, on Susan’s new motor bike—it ,went down and so did they, but hurt nothing but their pride.

Foods that don’t cook the cook end leave a lot of K.P. after the party is over are two golden rules ior summer en­tertaining. If you are baking any­ thing, try baking in cool morning hours, and if there’s a warm dish to be served, make it some­ thing that doesn’t require more than IS minutes of cooking. If your table decorations and set­ tings are cool appearing and the food carries this out further, then you will have done a lot toward mak­ ing your guests comfortable. Re­ freshments may be simple, in fact, they should be, for then guests and hostess alike can enjoy themselves.

IM PRO VED U N IFO R M IN TE R N A TIO N A L SUND AY IcHooL Lesson By HAROLD L. !.VNDQUISTt D. D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for July 4 , Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council ol Beneious Education; used by permission. A PEOPLE IN DISTRESS LESSON TEXT—Exodus 1:6-14; 2:23-23.GOLDEN TEXT—They cried, and theil cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.—Exodus 2:23. Today is Independence Day. Yet much of the world is in bondage, and the rest of it in a struggle to pre­ vent freedom from perishing from the earth. Our lesson too is about a nation in bondage, but we learn from it that there is a way to be free. Even so we declare the way of personal lib­ erty which is open and free. The Lord Jesus Christ opened it at Calvary’s tree and anyone who is still the bond slave of Satan may make this a great and glorious In­ dependence Day by now declaring his faith in the Deliverer of our souls. We begin today a series of lessons in the book of Exodus which reveal the high and mighty hand of God working on behalf of His people. The family of Jacob—or, as the Bible calls them, the children of Is­ rael-prospered in Egypt particular­ ly as long as Joseph and the rulers who remembered him were alive. But they soon learned one ol life’s bitter lessons, that— I. Prosperity Is Not Always a Blessing (1:6-11). The Hebrews were a peaceful, law-abiding people. They were God’s chosen people, and as He blessed them they prospered, and thus inno­ cently they brought upon themselves the hatred of the suspicious Egyp­ tians. Prosperity is never an unmixed blessing. We as a nation know that to be true. Not only does it lead to a certain softening of the sinews, but all too often it results in a weakening of the moral fiber, which makes man easy prey to the attack of the enemy of our souls. Is it not strange, then, that we should—even in times of all-out war­ fare—be so eager to chase the dol­ lar that we are willing to neglect our children, forget church, live un­ natural lives, just that we may make more and more money? The Egyptians had, humanly speaking, reason to fear this great nation which was growing up in their midst. The new rulers did not know Joseph and had forgotten the spirit in which he had brought his family into the land. The leaders of the Egyptians therefore made plans which appealed to their bril­ liant leaders as politic and wise. But they reckoned without God, and the burdens and afflictions they placed on the Israelites only served to bring further blessing. So Israel learned a lesson which our present sorry world can profit by, that— n . Persecution Is Not Always a Burden (w . 12-14). The people of Israel did not appre­ciate it, but the bitterness of their bondage was a blessing in disguise. Note that— 1. It Kept Them Separate as a People. Affliction often serves to keep God’s people separated from the world. It is doing so today. 2. It Disciplined Them and Pre­ pared Them for the Hardships of Their Wilderness Journey. We too do well to remember that "whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,” and that if we are properly “exercised” thereby, our sorrows may yield rich fruit in our lives. 3. It Threw Them Back upon God. Many are the saints of God who have found that the fiery trial, the burden so hard to understand, or some affliction of their body, has caused them to bring their burden to the Lord. We have traveled far on the road of faith when we have reached the place where we learn that “man’s extremity is God’s op­ portunity.” They had only one place to turn. They were hemmed in on every side, but, as ever, they found that the way up no man can close. They called on their God.................... In . Prayer Always Brings Deliv­ erance (2:23-25). Does God really Imow when His people suffer? Does He really'care? Yes, He does. “They cried,” and “God heard” and “remembered.” That’s all we heed to know.' The groaning of His people had already stirred God’s gracious and tender heart. But He waited to hear their cry before He answered. Such is the law of prayer. May we not for­get it. Far too often we turn to everyone and everything else, and finally, in desperation, to God. Why not turn to Him first? Does God hear and answer pray­ er? Yes, but remember that real prayer is the cry of faith coming from the heart of an obedient child. God may answer other prayers, but He always answers such a prayer. His answer may not be in accord with our opinion of what i t should be, for His wisdom is infinite. He knows better than we what the an­ swer should be. Let us trust the Judge of all the earth to do right (Gen. 18:25). Lovely Sheer Cottons Star In Summer Bride Picture By CHERIE NICHOLAS 'T 'H E R E ’S no need to *■ quote imposing statis­ tics to prove that there’s a big boom on in weddings. AU anyone has to do is glance at the daily society columns in the newspapers and count her invitations to know that weddings are making an all time record. Today’s young couples, for the most part, believe that budget plan­ ning is the better part of patriotism, and at the same time 1943 brides are more anxious than ever to look their loveliest on this day of days— a picture for him to carry ever when he goes forth to war. The answer— a wedding gown of one or other of the beguiling cottons that will have a matchless beauty all its own no matter how inexpensive it may be. Girls in cotton bridal gowns are say­ ing "I do” more often than ever before in fashion history. What an enchanting picture they make, the organdies and nets, mar­ quisettes, cotton laces and so on, that are being fashioned into wedding gowns so entrancing no bride could wish for anything prettier or more flattering. A dress of cotton lace and net with bodice of lace teamed with a billowy skirt made up of al­ ternate bands of lace and net, as shown to the right in the illustration, will make any bride look as if she had stepped out of the pages of a fairybook story. This model is perfectly charming, either in all white or an exquisitely delicate pastel (preferably pale pink). It is fashion news of no lit­ tle importance, this matter of a de­lectable tint for the wedding gown. The matching net headdress that accompanies this net-with-lace dress is adorable, and it is the last word in chic. The heart neckline and the bracelet sleeves add youthful accent. This dress will prove a perfect gem when it comes to functioning as a dinner gown on gala evenings after the ceremony. Best of all as ex­ quisitely fragile looking as it is, you’ll find that it will come up smil­ ing after each laundering. Wedding marches and' organdie brides will be playing a most charm­ ing duet the whole summer through. A garden bride who doesn’t want a train to trail in the dew does well to select a simple white organdie like the ankle-length gown pictured to the left. The very simplicity of this dress is its charm, with its. wide ingenious sash and triple tucks around the hem. The leghorn hat makes the costume resemble a Sir Joshua Reynolds* portrait. Often organdie is handled in a muchly beruffled manner, for the bride, since, as you know, ruffles and frills and ruchings of cotton sheers animate summery frocks in all sorts of delightful ways this season. A recent bride who was greatly ad­ mired looked really' beautiful in a beruffled-organdie, youthfully styled, her headdress instead of the-usual veil being a halo of self organdie arranged most artfully. As to other cottons for the wed­ ding dress, a formal point d’esprit gown with a train as long as the WPB allows, makes its wearer look indescribably lovely. In the young manner also, is an irresistible frost­ ed organdie with a pinafore look, created by ruffles over the shoulder and forming a peplum flounce. A white organdie with ruffled train, sleeves, skirt panfels and headdress achieves a costume that would make any wedding a memorable occasion. For the more mature bride, but just as picturesque and flattering, is. a stunning wedding gown that has a fichu of the organdy with medal­ lions of lace appliqued on both skirt and waist. Most of these bridal gowns come with equally lovely bridesmaids’ dresses in pastels that can carry on as summer evening gowns for the duration. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Pert Leghorns Comes the message from fashion headquarters that a renewed inter­ est is being shown in leghorn hats for little girls. Any wee maiden will look her prettiest this summer in a hat like the leghorn straw shown at the. bottom. This cunning chapeau has a woven brim laced with narrow green velvet ribbon. A green gros- grain bow ties beneath the chin so that windy days this treasured bit of headgear will “stay put.” A gen­ erous application of ribbon makes the other hat most flattering to the pert young miss whose, eyes are saucing you from under the brim. Satin for Suits Is New Vogue There is a new vogue on. It is suits of gleaming “duration” satin in either black or brown. You will also see many coat dresses and suave one-piece modes of satin. The news of satin for hats is also being heralded far and wide. You will find in smart fabric collections both all-silk satins, and particularly good looking is a range of Bemberg-rayon satins.

I wanted to see the final splash and learn if it would be safe. I hoped Victor Quade wouldn’t get into it, when, with a mighty shove, it slipped into the bay. As a matter of fact, nobody did. Just then Thaddeus Quincy let out a yell and waved his red table cloth like anything. Sure enough, a sail boat was making for our wharf. She had no tender, but as she came about the men hastily tied the Elea­ nor and stood shouting till it’s a wonder anything could be made of it. “Ahoy, there!” yelled the man. “Lane ready? Lost my tender.” So he’d come expecting Roddy to go sailing with him. And Roddy hadn’t kept the date. “Lane’s not here!” shrilled Quin­ cy. “There’s been a— De Witt held up his hands. “Let me, my friends.” Then he bellowed: “Send the police—at once. Murder! Understand?” The man let go the tiller a second to megaphone with his hands. “Not Lane! Did you say—murder? When he didn’t show up I came after him. You want the police!” I was sure he was going to cap­size, but he righted his craft and sailed slowly, oh, it seemed so slow­ ly, toward town across the cove. “It won’t be long now,” Potter said, “and I’m utterly glad. Sorry for Norcross, though.” Uncle Wylie pulled at his old corn­ cob pipe a moment. “Nella, where’s my pipe? You know, the one I like.” “Where the police can’t find it. How’d I know anybody’d confess? I-I burned it!” “Dang it! Burned my best pipe! That was a smart thing to do! What’ll the police think when they find you’ve deliberately burned some of the evidence?” Uncle Wylie was mad. “Let ’em think what they please.” Aunt Nella swept up the steps with dignity. “Come along, Mr. Nor- cross.” She had no intention of shar­ ing her precious elderberry wine with all of us. But Hugh sank down in a chair, his head slumped forward and a dazed expression on his face, as if he could no longer take it all in. I sat in the next chair. “Be a relief to be let alone in a nice quiet cell,” he said to nobody in particular. “Only my own nerves to consider, for a change. I believe it’ll be a rest. Maybe poor Bessie will snap out of it. Help her, Judy. And know this, before they come: If things hadn’t turned out this way, I was going to tell you something. It doesn’t matter now. You wouldn’t want to hear it from a fiend like me.” I could still see the sailboat dis­ appearing in the opposite direction. The sun was hot. Below us lay the charred place where the fish shed had stood, with its gruesome ex­ hibit. Beyond, poor Lily, whom the men had thought best to leave where she was—cruel as it seemed to us all. “There are plenty of people on this porch who could be convicted on evidence against them, the same as you, it seems to me, Hugh. Per­ sonally I can’t see what you could have to say to me, after the way you tried to involve me in this awful affair,” I said to him. “Nobody could pin anything on you on account of the $800 I sent you.” "In $50 bills?” He let it ride. “I wish they’d come and take me away. Suspense is terrible.” “Hughie, why did you put that glass bead in my powder compact and leave the bag for De Witt to find? You must have known it would implicate me.” “Oh, yes; the bead. It was a nice one. I found it. Thought you could give it back to Miss Kendall. Always picking ’em up for her.” “So you were. Pretty kind to a person you’d planned to kill.” We’d been almost whispering, but now I got up to go into the house. “ ’Fraid it won’t wash, Hugh Nor­ cross; any more than the pool of blood Bessie says was at the foot of the church steps. No one else saw any traces of it. She’s covering for you, and you’re doing the same for her.” A whisper came between us. “Shut up, Judy! Go on with the act, Norcross. Know you’re innocent, but it’ll throw the real you-know off guard.” Then aloud Victor said, so that the others could all hear: “Now that Norcross has cleaned his slate, can any of the remainder of you throw any light on various angles? Might keep someof it from the au­ thorities, if it had nothing to do with the crimes—that is.” I saw my aunt turn her back and knew the teeth were being plunked in again. “Mr. Gerry and I will not mind their questipns. I’U own up to destroying the pipe. Bet most wives burn up a smelly pipe or two. It’s silly to think, even if it dropped out of Wylie’s pocket at the fish shed, it could have set the fire. Burned him, wouldn’t it? Why don’t you come clean about your daughter, Mr. Quincy? Can’t do any harm now.” Thaddeus Quincy pounded the steps with his cane. He was sit­ ting in his chair down at the foot of them, and now his face seemed strangely contorted as he glared at my aunt. “Couldn’t you leave her out of it!” he thundered. He had a motive, too! He had a stalwart cane. He could get around alone, for hadn’t I blun­dered into him in the church aisle? Had his daughter been another of Roddy’s victims? And why hadn’t my aunt told me? A new respect for her came over me as Mr. Quincy sputtered: “She had nothing to do with this. Six years ago, my only child fell in love with and mar­ ried that cad, Lane, while I was in Baden-Baden taking the cure. I was only gone nine months, but I never saw her husband until night before last, when he walked into the dining room here. He’d gone through the little money my daughter had re­ceived from her mother and desert­ ed her for another woman before I came home. You can’t imagine the refined cruelty he practiced on my little girl, before she went to Reno and divorced him. Now she’s hap­ pily married again. You can see % “Be a relief to be let alone in a nice quiet cell.” why I don’t want her mentioned. She waited three years for him, and when he came crawling back after the Lane Bank scandal she saw rea­ son and divorced him.” Hugh flamed. “It wasn’t my sis­ ter! Bessie wouldn’t have anything to do with another woman’s hus­ band.” “If she knew it,” Quincy added. “Don’t have a fit, Norcross. It 1 wasn’t your sister. Happened out West. The woman—I won’t mention her name—but she dabbled in mag­ azine illustrating. She was married, also, at the time. Deserted her, too. Led her a terrible life, I’ve heard.” There was a motive a yard wide— a man who’s abused his daughter ought to be killed. Mr. Quincy him­ self said so, the next breath. It was lucky Lane had kept out of his sight.“But I didn’t kill him, nor that pestiferous Miss Kendall. I’ll ad­ mit I came to the Head to try to get back my daughter’s $10,000. Roddy told her, after he’d been drinking one day, he had a personal bank hidden at the Head, but not in the Castle. He’d fooled the police at the time of the search; but if she’d take him back he’d get it and repay her. The depression left us—espe­ cially her and her twin babies— she’d remarried after the divorce- hard up. I’d seen no mention of Lane in the Rockville paper. I de­ termined to come to the Head and have a look-see. The auction of the church set me thinking. That would be the very place to hide wealth, in an unused church. So I came. I didn’t know whether Lane was still afraid to show up here, or had taken the money away or not. My daugh­ter refused to have anything to do with him or his money.” “Did you send me Uie cash to buy the church?” He pointed his cane at Hugh. “He did. Me, I’m poor. I bid, but it was a relief when you got it, Judy. That would give me access without suspicion. No, it’s clear as a brook: The recluse died by accident. The bridge collapsed. Norcross avenged his, sister. And Miss Kendall fell. AU we have to do is wait for the po­ lice, who should arrive in—” he took out his watch, “—about fifteen or twenty minutes.” Victor’s hands pat-a-caked silent­ly. “Very, very interesting, Mr. Quincy. Ajid the wind tied the blue scarf around Lily’s neck?” “You should know. I wasn’t down there. We’d all left the church and gone to the bridge. You stayed a while, didn’t you?” “Yes. With Judy.” Did Lily’s death coincide with the gull’s cry? I felt sure it had. Victor changed the subject. “Why? Anything to add, Potter?” The artist jumped/his wide eyes bulging wider. “Me?” He shrugged. “Not a thing. Came here to paint, and a fine chance I’ve had! Never saw or heard of the place before. Went to Rockville first, just as you did, Quade, and a fellow said, when I bought some linseed oil and tur­ pentine, ‘If it’s scenery you want, go to the Head.’ So I came and liked it, and now wish I hadn’t.” It was the longest speech I’d ever heard from him. The minister wasn’t saying a thing. He stood by the rail, his ser­ mon forgotten, gazing out toward Rockville. But he faced us quietly when Victor spoke to him. “And you, De Witt, want to add a word?” “You'mean my prison record? It’ll doubtless be raked up. I’ll just say this: “I lost money in the Lane Bank failure—several thour.'nd dol­ lars. I came here summers—Rock­ville, I mean—and preached there, as well as in New York. Because of a scandal, I was ousted from both churches. Some of the funds for maintenance were missing. The po­ lice received an anonymous letter hinting that there might be a con­nection between the embezzlement at the bank and the church affair— perfectly ridiculous. I was accused and sent to prison and served nine months; then one of my deacons confessed. I always thought Lane might have sent that anonymous let­ ter. No proof could be found. There was a horrible interval of suspicion before the police accused me. At the church everyone thought him guilty. His father had come to me and I’d talked with Roddy earlier; that is, tried to get him to do the right thing. If he had taken poor people’s savings or forged my name to a certain check I prayed with him to clear his conscience. He told me to go to—Hades. His fa­ ther, my friend, shot himself, but that wasn’t until after I’d been tried and convicted and served time. Now you know, and if you’ll excuse me—” He left us and went to his room. Victor announced quite bluntly, “Several things sound fishy to me. I wouldn’t advise anyone to try to get away—in the Eleanor, for in­stance.” “Including yourself?” cried Hugh. “Including myself.” He was rehashing his own status when I went in. I was a sight and the police were due any minute. We might all be taken to Rockville for questioning. I’d fix my hair and jump into a clean dress. That dot­ ted blue voile would do. I hurried to my room. The money? Yes, it was still there! I started to open my closet door and saw I’d have to move the church picture again. Oh, dear, more paint! But this time I was careful and turned it farther along the wall, taking hold of one corner and reversing the painting. Sud­ denly I sat back on my heels and stared. As plain as day the face of a funny little monkey showed through the place whei;e I’d wiped it with a newspaper a little while ago. The only'monkey I knew of as a pet be­ longed to Gloria Lovelace—Lily Kendall’s niece! I began to wonder what the rest of the picture looked like. The paint was still wet. As I swiped at it with paper a portrait emerged daubily. Nothing distinct —but a young woman with oodles of curls holding a monkey. If I could get some linseed oil or even kero­ sene, maybe I’d have a portrait. Two initials came to view—A. P., down in one comer. Albion Potter, of course. I recalled a picture of Lily’s niece —the movie star—and a monkey. I knew I shouldn’t, but I deliberately went into Miss Kendall’s room. And the first thing I saw was a photo* graph I’d often noticed before of 9 pretty girl with lots of hair holding up a pet monkey. That was queei enough. Had Lily given Albion Pot* ter a commission to do a portrait of her niece right from the photo­ graph? That must be it. Yes; there it was. A little linseed oil and any­ one could see the subjects were the same. The painting, what I could see of it, looked very good. I went up and put on my dotted voile and joined the others before the police came. “That was a swell portrait you did of Miss Kendall’s niece, Mr. Potter,” I smiled at him. “Only I wish you hadn’t painted over it.” “Wh-why, I never did a portrait of her niece in my life!” “But your initials are on it,” I persisted. “On the back of the pi» ture of the church you gave me.” (TO BE COfiiTlNVEDJ A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BY THE LEADING AR CORRESPONDENTS Japan Is Satisfied By Clark tee (WNU Featme-Through special arrangement with Collier's Weekly) Having accomplished every one of her major objectives, Japan is satis­ fied that she has won the war in the Pacific. AU that remains, as she sees it, is to complete the unas­ sailable waU of land, sea and air defenses she is building around her huge, rich new empire—a wall be­ hind which she can grow fat and strong as she welds her “liberated peoples” together for the coming war of extinction against the white race. AU she needs is time—just a Uttle more time, please. Some pubUc leaders in Ameri­ ca have stressed the great his­ toric menace that faces us in the Pacific. Few, however, have dared to state the whole star­ tling truth. The troth is that Japan has already won her war. TOth the exception of Midway is­ land, and despite her defeats in the Solomons and New Guinea, Japan has captured every important ob­ jective she set out to take. AU She Needs. Japan has seized aU the territory and aU the resources she needs. Japan now rules 300,000,000 people. We have not yet started in earnest to fight our war—the war to re­ take the great areas Japan has captured. That wiU be a new war, and be­ cause Japan will not be caught un­ prepared, it wiU be incredibly more costly than the lightning campaigns by which Hirohito’s army and navy took over the great wealth and ter­ ritory the United Nations had left virtually undefended in the Far East. Unless we start to fight Japan soon, with every weapon at our com­ mand, and unless we keep China in the war on our side, we may find this second war impossible to win. Japan, embarked on a deliberate program of world conquest, sees this struggle as a racial war which may last a century, and in which, backed by the Umitless manpower and resources of the Orient, she wiU win the final victory. AU that Japan needs to make her the world’s greatest power is time— time t» exploit and develop her new empire and to unite the people of Asia under her leadership. Until today, Japan has had that time. Japan is under no real miU- tary pressure from the United States. Behind a solid network of defenses which we have not yet begun to pene­trate, Japan is using her time wise­ ly and efficiently to achieve her im­mediate objective — the military, economic and political consoUdation of the Orient.Having under-estimated Japan’s skiU, preparedness and determina­ tion before the war, we should not make the same mistake again in assessing her abUity to carry out her present program. Japan today is highly vulnerable to air attack. Most of her heavy industry is stiU concentrated in four areas located along a 400-mile strip of coast extending south and west from Tokyo. More than 30,000,000 ■people Uve and work in the great seaport cities of Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, Osaka, Shimonoseki and Moji. If these cities were heav­ily bombed now, Japan would be severely crippled. Six months from today, how­ ever, that may no longer be the case. For Japan is becoming a - continental power, through a . program of dispersal of heavy industry. Japan’s fundamental aim is to scatter key industries over so wide an area that many thousands of air­ planes would be needed to inflica vital damage. With the seizure of Tientsin, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manila and Singapore, Japan came into posses­ sion of tremendous American and British industrial facilities. The economic resources of the con­ quered territories are being exploit­ed under a plan which Japan has been perfecting for the past decade —a master plan for control of labor, transportation, shipping, public works, agriculture, finance, industry and aU other functions of captured areas. From the Philippines, Japan is getting chrome and copper. Malaya is contributing tin and rubber. Coal is coming from the Selangor mines. The Sumatra oH fields are produc­ ing great amounts of petroleum. In Borneo the Japanese report finding large suppUes of mercury and cinnabar. From.the Andaman islands come lumber and fish. French Indo-China gives rice and coal. Java contributes rubber, qui­nine and petroleum. In Shansi prov­ ince of North China is aU the iron ore that Japan can ever use. Coal Is found PEVKING Released by Western Newspaper Union. QUITE a few basebaU enthusiasts question the activities of the PhUadelphia PhiUies in trading Dan­ny LitwhUer and Earl Naylor to the St. Louis Cardinals. BasebaU in PhUadelphia was at its highest ebb in many years when BiU Cox, president of the PhiUies, announced the transaction which brought Cardinal outfielders Coaker Triplett, Buster Adams and Dain Clay to the City of Brotherly Love. The question of which team got the better of the trade seems to be of secondary importance. There is an­ other factor which, in the judgment of many, makes the PhUs guilty of an error in timing. Philadelphia Story That factor concerns Philadelphia fans. Those long-suffering individ­ uals, accustomed to last-place stand­ ing and to predictions that “pros­ pects of moving up are not too good,” finally were being convinced that President Cox and Manager Bucky Harris were men who wouldn’t dispose of a star player for half interest in the Fort Knox gold vaults. BiU Cox entered basebaU business late last winter when he invested a large pUe of money in the Phillies. Prior to the advent of Cox, Gerry Nugent was head man. Nugent would dispose of basebaU players as fast as venders could seU hot dogs in the bleachers. Cox had sold the cash customers on his new policy. No longer would valuable players bo sold down the river. The manner in which the fans responded was Uttle short of pathetic. They had seen the Phils win a few baU games and they were happy. It was once remarked that a PUl winning streak consisted of spotting a double header. Now the club was winning its share of bat­ tles. LitwhiIer probably was the best all-around player on the team. He was popular—one of the favored few, along with Babe Dahlgren, School­ boy Rowe and Johnny Kraus. Per­ haps he wasn’t quite as good as he was a couple of years ago when he was having a great season, but he StUl packed plenty of guns. Miracles Unusual Granted that the Plnls have been slipping a little. Quite possibly the customers expected that. Miracles are unusual this season. But the future looked considerably brighter with a man at the helm determined to hang onto his good players and anxious to acquire more. It undoubtedly came as quite a blow when Cox sent one of the favor­ ite players on his way. He had run ads thanking the fans for their pa­ tronage, and then, oddly enough, turned around and made a move to kiU the good wiU which he had built.There are two sides to the story, of course. Cox snd Harris had their reasons for desiring the swap. Cox expressed Uttle anxiety about fan reaction: “AU three of the new Phillies are speedsters and my first promise in taking over the Phils was that the only thing about basebaU of which I was certain was that speed was essential to success. The deal has been completed with that appraisal of baseball success in mind. . . Sending LitwhUer to the world champions is no insult to Dan­ ny, who has played hard for us this season and is a competitor we hate to lose. Naylor, while he has not played so much as Litwhiler, bar shown a splendid attitude.” About Harris At the season’s end, Manager Har­ ris will deserve much of the credit­ or blame—for the Phils’ final stand­ ing. He doesn’t talk a great deal, but he has his say in settling every deal made by the club. He alone of the organization knows the value of men up for sale or trade. He put thumbs down on the propo­ sition when the Yankees tried to get rid of RoUie Hemsley and BiU Knickerbocker in the Nick Etten deal. He insisted on Rowe in the face of strong opposition. It was Bucky who originated the idea of making Dahlgren over for shortstop duty. Most basebaU crit­ ics chuckled at Dahlgren’s unusual style of handling grounders, which was strictly unorthodox, to put it kindly. But Dahlgren stayed at short and made the grade. Earl WhitehiU, a smart pitching coach, was engaged by Harris. WhitehiU taught Jack Kraus to break his curve baU at the waist instead of the shoulder. And Kraus repaid that effort tenfold. The Future In an early-spring summary oi National league clubs, one writer had this to say: “PhilUes lack pitching, catching, fielding, hitting, everything. Only first class major league baU player on team is Diinny Litwhiler.” Even though LitwhUer is gone, it is unlikely that the Phils wiU go to pieces. They are handled by one of the soundest, most underrated man­agers in basebaU. If anyone can hold the club together, Bucky Har- ris is the man for the job.

You can sup­ply the money by upping your war bond buying through the payroll sav­ings plan. Figure it out yourself and. see where the money is coming from. How much does it cost you and your family to live each month? How much money is coming in from all members of your family? Put the extra money into war bonds, every penny of it. Let 10 per cent be only the starting point for figur­ ing your allotment.V. S. Treasury D tpntom t Figure It Out Yourself. How can you effectively join in saving all the little children of the world from hu­man slavery, death and Injury from the Nazis and Japanese? Put more and more of your pay into war bonds every payday. Your savings will go to war in the form of war equipment and other munitions. How much more should you put into war bonds? The only ones who can answer that are—you and your fam­ ily. It’s up to you to decide just how’ much more you’ll do to win the war.If you were fighting in the Solo­mons or in Africa or forcing a land­ing in Europe you’d like to feel that the folks at home were back of you —all the way—you’d be proud of your family and your friends if you knew they were buying war bonds not at 10 per cent or 15 per cent but with every cent beyond thai which Ihey need for necessities.V. S. TrtasutT Dtptrtnmt It’s A People’s War We are paying more in taxes than ever before . .. and likely will pay more. But we cannot rely on taxes to finance the war. It would not be fair to base a tax on the average single fam­ ily income when many families have more than one income. We could borrow all the money from the banks, but for both economic and social reasons this is undesirable. The gov­ ernment would then sacrifice its greatest dam against infla­ tion. This is a People’s War and the people should finanee it. The people WANT to finance it. Sale of War Bonds has mounted consistently since Peari Harbor. They give their lives .. . Ton lend your money. People’s Responsibility Eight billion dollars of the 13 billion dollars In this Second War Loan Drive must eome from non-banking sources, so the responsibility for the bulk of this 13-bOiion-doIlar drive rests with the American public. Indications are that Ameri­ cans generally need wily to be reminded of this responsibility and how much they should lend their government in order to reach this goal. Americans are backing up their fighting men on the battle fronts. They are supporting the Second War Loan. "They give Hieir lives . . . You lend your money."

That is when the semaphore system is employed. Like a single flag in the “Wig­ wag” system, the purchase of a War Savings Stamp or Bond, in it­ self has an infinitesimal effect upon the entire war effort, but when 130 million determined people set their minds to make our War Bond drives successful, the result is anything but infinitesimal.
