Va«t Differeoce In Men Rev. Walter E. henhoiir. Hiddenite. N. C. There is a vast difference in men Sometimes the difference is so great until we are really made to wonder how it could be. This is true of men in the same community, and oftentimes in the same family. Let me illustrate. W e will look at two men In the same locality Oite of them Is godlv. H e prays much. He reads and studies bis Bible, and heeds its teaching He is kind and good to everybody. He loves all mankind. H e is a good neighbor and noble citizen. He never takes a drink of intoxicants, never takes God's name in vain, reads the best books and literature he can find, visits the sick and af flicted and gives them a helping hand, and is out to do all the good he can. H e is a so -1-winner, and delights to help every pilgrim heav enward that he can as he lives and travels life’s pathwav. H a is very generous. H e not only tithes all his income, but gives out of the remaining nine-tenths. H e is a liberal supporter of the Gospel and the cause of God, Always ready to give of his means with a cheer ful heart. There is noselfiishness, no stinginess, about him. H e en- joys Holy Ghost salvation, as he has a real sanctified experience. He is a blessing in bis home, in his church, in his commugity. He carries sunshine in his face, as be has Jesus in his heart. H e lives for God and mankind daily, and is traveling heavenward. Here is the other man in the same community, but how differ ent he is AU be seems to live for is self, with even little or no inter, est in the salvation of his own fam ily. He is griping and very stin gy. He sets his affection on mon ev and the material things of the world. He cares nothing for the church, the Sunday School, nor the preaching of the Gospel. Tbis is entirely out of bis line of thought and business. Every church in the community could rot down so tar as he is concerned, he would not cafe, neither would he give a dol lar to prevent it. He merely lives for what he can get out of tue world in dollars and cents, and be is not careful how he gets it. If ne can make money by cursing mankind through alcohol and nico tine, or in other ways, he will do so. He lives for the devil, and has no higher aim. God pity his poor soul. The country would be much better off without him. Now which of the two men, or two clas ses of men do von represent? New Deal Waste Wor ries Iowa Farmer In a single-handed effort to im press the New Deal with its waste fulness, an Iowa farm er has return- ed AAA parity payments totalling $900.27. received over a period of six years, to Henrv Morgenthau, Se' cretary of the Treasury. The farm' er is Lester A. Crandall, father of 11 children, who operates a 300-acre farm near Dallas. Iowa. Return of the checks received for co-operating with the AAA farm program ir Crandall’s method of expressing disapproval of a waste ful administration w hjsepclicies can only lead to ruinous taxation.” Ac companying the return of his 1942 AAA parity payments was a letter to Secretary Morgenthau i n which Crandall stated: With Government borrowing from the future at an unprecedented rate and the public debt proven to be the greatest enemy of a free people, I don’t feel that I can use this kind of money at the present time. May I ask that this money be used directly in our war effort and not be need to electorate.” W bat this town needs and must 'have is a bigger pay roll, F. D. R. Promise Fails Another of President Roosevelt’s arrogant claims and promises have failed disastrously. Ten vears ago. under his direction, his New Deal administration brought an end to national prohibition of the tnanu. facture and sale of intoxicating Ii- quor in the United States. In so doing the President had the loyal support of the American Legion, of taxpayers organizations, of the Ro- man Catholic Church, of various shades of liberal > pinion and of the interests which stood readv to make money out of the legalization of the traffic. By a highly organized and fabu lously financed campaign these in terests made the peoplr—or at least enough people --believe that repeal ruption and its pocketbook from the burden of taxation, comments The Christian Centuryin a scrathing in dictment of what President Roose velt’s repeal bas brought to the na tion in the wake of this liquor de bauchery. The New Deal admin istration sponsored the twenty first amendment which repealed t L e eighteenth. The manufacture and sale of liquor was again legalized Now a decate bas passed. That is lotig enough for the promised Oenehts of repeal to appear. W hat is the record? The Chris tian Century asks that question and then answers it by saying: “The saloon is back, the only difference being that now women fight with men for a place at the bar. Juvenile delinquency has at. tained the proportions of a national scandal, owing largelv to the fact that in this war youth have virtu ally unlimited access to liquor, whereas in the First World W ar state prohibition dried up this source of demoralization Tbe it legal manufacture of liquot has never stopped. Bootlegging atd hijacking are today rapidly mov ing toward the front pages in many !ties The liquor industry, frigh. tened fora while into sometbiugie- sembling. respect ability, has again proved itselj to De lawless, unpa triotic and conoerned only with its own profits, regardless of the con. sequences. ‘‘In spite of the fact that a war is in progress, grand juries have been compelled to probe its defiance of price regulations. W hisky ijngs in Montreal and New York are as active as ever in their own under, ground, and their corruption reach, es as deeply into politics, from the municipal to the national level, as ever. * Desparafely determined . to make good at least on the point of revenue, the federal government has itself gone into the bootlegging business in Georgia and Missouri by selling federal licenses to liquor dispensors whose activities are pro. blbited by state law. Meanwhile the consumption of liquor surpass es all records and the dem ratiza- tion which this creates spreads like social cancer. Ten years ago it was said that prohibition bad failed. Today it is olear that repeal has failed even more disastrously.” No wonder the President wants to change the name of “ New Deal” to something that will again catch tbe fancy of the people to keop him in office four more, or perhaps more years. “ Win the W ar” was snng throughout tne nation immediately following Pearl Harbor, so the W hite House man is not sounding any new phrase But he hopes it wilf cause another stampede of the Democratic convention and start ing with his countless thousands on tbe Federal payroll and others re ceiving his dole he stauds a good chance, he reasons, to remain in the W hite House Will mothers of America forget his solemn pledge be made to them in his clesing address of tbe last compa'gn that if elected again he Soldier Writes MotheriThe Inquisitive Marine Seen Along Main Street Dearest Mother:—I may write <* thousand letters to the girl that I adore, and declare in everv letter that I love her more and more I may praise her grace and beauty in a thousand glowing lines, and com pare her eyes of azure to the brigh test star tbat shines, if I had the pen of Shakespeare or would use it every day, in composing written lyrics to my sweetheart mother far away.

And although its composit ion would provoke a critic’s smile, in her sweet and tender hngers it becomes a work of art, stained by tears of joy and sadness as she hugs it to her heart. Yes. the let ter of all letters, no matter where I roam, is the letter to my mother, from her boy awav from home. J, D RHYMER. More Prayer, Less Wine Troy, N. C., Jan. 18, 1943. Dear E ditor:- Enclosed find $1 to renew my subscription. I like to hear about my - friends around Mocksville and Sheffield. Hope all bad a good Christmas. Ic is always a treat to visit the places wbete I have lived, but don’t gness I ’ll get to visit my old home in Arkansas and Oregon for a long time. When I lived in Oregon my nearest neighbors were five to 20 miles. Town and church were 75 miles and no car; school 12 miles and no bus It took a week to go to town and back, so it you ran out of meat you could kill a porcu pine. a jack rabbit or a sage hen. We hauled water five to nine miles. When I went to visit a neighbor I took my gun along, for one never knew what kind of a wild animal the< might meet I have seen the ground white with snow ten months In the year, Julv and August be ing the only months without snow We need more old time praying and preaching and less beer, wine and liquor. How can we ever win a war with so many boys tanked up on beer and wine? It is sad to think of Best wtjhes to all. MRS. D L RICHARDSON. Miscalculated The OPA has had to backtrack somewhat on its previous plan to roll-back various winter vegetable prices by 20 to 50 per cent from prices of a year ago. The OPA in October announced Proposed sche dule for carrying out the rollbacks on winter vegetables but these have never been put into effect. "Mis calculations” make bv the OPA in figuring out the schedules were said to be the reason for preparation of a new order carrying roll backs of con siderably less than planned, for 13 vegetables at least.

Some months ago, a Marine Corps writer decided to find Odt for himself whether the medical care In the military service is a snperb as it is cracked up to be. There was jnst one way to find out and that was bv loining the ranks of the sick and wounded at an ad vanced base. W ith the consent of the com manding medical officer, bnt un known to anyone else, this marine, while at the front in the South Pa cific, pretended serious illness Two days later he was in a hospital on the edge of Henderson Field, Gna dalcanal. A tag on his shirt m ark ed him as a severe case of septic ulcer. He received no special treat ment. H e was bandied exactly as other evacuees were handled in tbe plane ambulances out of the com bat area. He was loaded onto a transport plane with seventeen other suffers and within a few hours was install ed in a tnlly equipped base hospi tal with a staff of 4 0 0, each physi cian selected for preeminence in bis field. After revealing his identy, this inquitive marine received per mission to stay a wbile and observe. Injiis own words, be saw "a num ber oi delicate surgical operations, a wide variety of fracture treat ments. Life-sized X-rays were taken, teeth extracted, dental plat es made. A group of specialists prescribed and fitted glasses Phy sical therapy experts restored the use of injured nerves and muscles ” He also saw intensive treatment given to serious burns and skin in fections, as well as skin and bone grafts.

W hat we want is a ringside seat and a movif in five reels of the proceed ings when a toothy Jap valet seeks to sanitate and otherwise uplift some of our farm er friends.” . . . and he proceeds to name a score of Buticr county farmers as Candida'es for the proceedings.” “It’s really too bad about the un sanitary habits o f our American farmers. Some of them, ’tis true, get into a bit of a glow after spend ing their time casually from 5 a. m., to 8 p. tn., on bright summer days behind a cornfield plow or around a threshing machine After that, with eight or ten cows to pail, a flock of pokers to feed and numerous other little chores to kill the idie hours un til bedtime, they occasionally neg lect to go to oue of their four or five Roman tiled bathrooms and there luxuriate and disport them selves among the perfumed foan and bubbles.

A full admiral, there is talk of rais ing him still higher, to match senior officers of our Allies. This would make him admiral of the fleet, a rank no American has held since Dewey 45 years ago. Adm. Ernest Joseph King’s family, as much as an ardent army has left of it, lives in Washington bat the admiral sleeps on the Dauntless because it can also accommodate the staff which helps him plan the coming offensive. Having given his smart salute he walks, prob ably by way of Virginia avenue, to the Navy building on Consti tution. There he puts in a big day’s work for a man already two birthdays past retirement age. He was 65 in November and about then a rumor got around that Admiral Nimitz would succeed him. When this did not happen the rumor died a natural death. Married since 1915, with a son in Annapolis, and five daugh ters, of whom four are married to army officers, Admiral King has been in the navy for 40 years. He has had his flag for 10, has been a fall admiral for 7, and has had bis present high post for more than 2. W ?

This is a rumor to file for future reference, and mean while it will cheer Premier Edwin Linkomies. Since he took his job last March he has worried chiefly about Russia’s intentions. Linkomies is one of Europe’s most erudite statesmen. Educat ed abroad, chiefly in Italy and Greece, he is vice president of Helsinki university and profes sor there of Latin and Roman literature and is certainly the only prime minister who has written a Latin grammar. Six years ago, when ex-President Hoover visited Finland, Linko mies welcomed him with a Latin oration. His political activities have kept pace with his academic progress. He has held various municipal posts in his native Viipuri and for 10 years has been a member of parlia ment. He is titular head of Uusi Suomi, leading conservative daily and organ of the National Coalition party. Fifty years old, Linkomies is en ergetic, persuasive and a terrific worker. Notwithstanding his pro fessorial background he gets on with all sorts of people and is popular partly, perhaps, because of his quick, sharp, dry wit.

He Fears a S h o r ta g e sees lots of O fP roductsA head ™ rk^ n d lots of ma terial, but too few products for a commodity-hungry United States. This is likely tp be so, he says, be cause workers will be in one re gion, stockpiles in another. The government gives Batt a dollar- a year for miscellaneous jobs, chief of which is the vice chairmanship of WPB. He has worked at the latter since early in ’43. His assignments keep him in his office 13 hours a day and busy at home more nights than not, but he still finds time to eye postwar problems. He believes that if management and labor pull together this country can have an unequalled pros perity with living standards so high the golden ’20s will seem poverty-stricken by comparison. Batt has been studying the rela tions of management and labor for years. In private life he heads the S. K. F. Industries at Philadelphia. He got to that post from a running start off an Indiana farm. Born near Salem, he walked six miles a day to get part of his schooling and finally was graduated from Purdue with an engineering degree. That led him into manufacturing, and manufacturing forced him into a study of management on which he is now an authority. Away from Washington he- lives in a Philadelphia suburb. For 35 years he has been mar ried to a chum of his childhood and they have 5 children, as well as a substantial equity in 5 grandchildren. For several months, workers at a war plant In Cincinnati, Ohio, have kept it running 24 hours a day 7 days a week, turning out new red and blue ration tokens. This employee is working a press which prints 200 tokens a minute. Local banks WUl distribute the tokens to stores by Feb ruary 27. On that date approximately 2 billions of the disks will be in use.

It shows her being interviewed by Harry Con over, being referred to members of his staff for tips on grooming, ward robe accessories and demeanor, be ing sent out on various assignments, finally being selected to pose for a magazine cover. Guy Kibbee, who’s checked in at Warner Bros, for his role in “The Horn Blows at Midnight,” starring Alexis Smith and Jack Benny, has an impressive title in the picture. He appears in a heavenly sequence of “Chief in Charge of Small Planet Management” ! When “Stagecoach” was released in the 1938-39 season, it picked up two Academy awards — one for Thomas Mitchell as the year’s best supporting player, and the picture’s scoring was given the second honor that year. It co-starred Claire Trev or and John Wayne, with Mitchell and Andy Devine in supporting roles. Now it’s being released again —good luck for everyone who missed it the first time. A significant new series titled “American Story,” written by Archi bald MacLeish and tracing the his tory, development and fulfillment of the literature of the Americas, will be presented by the NBC Inter- American University of the Air Sat urdays, beginning February 5.

(See Recipes Below) G et Yottr Spreads! Are you low on brown points? Then set the jelly and jam kettles boiling with midwinter fruits and make some delicious spreads to save points. Last summer when homemakers were putting up their fruits they dis covered they did not have enough sugar for putting up all’ the' jam s and jellies they would like, but now they "have probably caught up on the sugar and can boil the juices they saved into delicious, quivery jellies. Use the jellies and jam s On-Discuits and muf fins when the butter is scarce. It spells first aid and appetite appeal to menus. For those of you who did not put up juices for winter jelly-making, there are plenty of fruits in season now that make delightful spreads. Out with the kettles and colanders, with jelly glasses and paraffin and here we go: Orange Marmalade. (Makes 6 6-ounce glasses) 344 cups prepared fruit (about I% pounds) 214' cups sugar I 3-ounce box powdered fruit pectin Prepare fruit. Use peels from 6 medium-sized oranges and 2 lemons. Cut in quarters. Lay quarters flat; shave off and discard half of white part. Put peels through chopper twice. Add I cup sugar, 214 cups water, juice from I medium-sized lemon and Vs teaspoon soda. (This I cup sugar is in addition to meas urement given above.) Cover. Heat to boiling. Simmer 30-minutes, stir ring occasionally. Measure sugar into dry dish and set aside until needed. Measure prepared fruit into 3 to 4-quart kettle, fillin g up last cup or fraction of cup with water if necessary. Place over high heat. Add powdered pectin, mix well, and continue stirring until mixture comes to a hard boiL Pour in sugar at once, stirring constantly. Con tinue stirring, heat to a full, rolling boil and boil hard 2 minutes. Re move from heat, skim, pour quick ly. Paraffin hot marmalade at once. Hoiiey Orange Jelly. (Makes 6 6-ounce glasses) I cup juice 3 cups honey 44 bottle fruit pectin To prepare juice, squeeze and strain juice from 2 medium oranges. . . . . Measure j u i c e and honey into a large saucepan and mix well. Heat to boiling over high heat and at once add fruit pectin, stir ring constantly. Then heat to a flill rolling boil and Lynn Says JeDy Hints: Consistency and flavor are the. most important ppints in making jelly. Careful cooking can give you a high score on both. To jell, fruit juices must con tain pectin or must have it added from a commercial product. Pec tin must be combined with the correct proportion of sugar in the presence of acids and mineral salts to form jelly. Prolonged cooking destroys the power of pectin, especially In the very acid fruits. This is the rea son that no more water than nec essary should be used in cooking the fruit. Best jellies "are tender and quivery and translucent. They should cut easily but break with a clean, sharp line.

Remove from heat, skim, pour quickly. Paraffin hot jelly at once. Grapefruit Marmalade. (Makes 2 to 3 pints) I grapefruit I orange I lemon Slice fruit very thin, remove pulp from peel. To each pint of pulp, use an equal quantity of water and I Vt times as much sugar. Let come to a boil. Remove from fire, let stand overnight. Boil the shredded skins of the fruit in twice their bulk of water until tender, then let stand overnight in the water in which they were boiled. On the next day, heat the skins to the boil ing point, then add pulp mixture and boil rapidly until thick enough to congeal when tested. Pour into sterilized glass jars and seal. If you can spare a few points for the crushed pineapple called for in this recipe you can make a colorful and tart jam that will delight the family no end: Winter Jam. 3 cups cranberries I cup diced apples VA cups water I cup crushed pineapple 3 cups sugar Juice and grated rind of I lemon Cook the cranberries and apples in water until they are clear, and tender.

U AROLD (“j u g” ) Mc s p a d e n 1S 1 great victory in the Los An geles Golf Open more than justified the faith a great many followers had m him. Always a steady golfer, and at times even brilliant, the 39-year-old Philadelphia pro put together a 69- 72 71 66 for a 72-hole total of 278, cracking the Wilshire Country club course record by 3 strokes. He butchered old man par by 6. McSpaden fired six birdies—and one bogey—in fashioning his sensa- tioral last round. Ris efficient put ter never failed him and only one out of-bounds shot marred his shot- making.- Otherwise it was close to pericct golf. Tbmgs have been on the upgrade for Jug during the past year. He has won 4 of his last 6 tournaments, among them the All-American in Chicago. His Los Angeles victory netted him $4,375 In war bonds as first prize money. The Headlines It was reminiscent of better times to see competitive golf draw big headlines again. The game has suf fered much in the last two years. Many of the big name players are in service and the few tournaments r f * O-I HAROLD “JUG” McSPADEN of today rarely capture the national interest. GoU has turned out to be a real American game. England and Scot land are represented by many great names, including Harry Varden, Henry Cotton, George Duncan, J. H. Taylor and many others. But the combined Kst can’t be compared to tbe roster of stars native to the United States. Names like Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Francis Ouimet,. Jack McDermott, Byron Nelson, McSpaden, Ben Hogan, Tommy Armour, Craig Wood, Sam my Snead, Harry Cooper, Lawson Little, Ed Dudley, Billy Burke, Bob Cruickshank, Macdonald Smith, etc., will have a permanent place in golf’s record book. A few of them—includ ing Smith, Armour and Cruickshank —came from Scotland, but they won golfing fame as citizens of this coun try. Why has AmeHca developed so many champions? The answer Is the same for goU as it is for boxing, baseball, basketball and almost any other sport. The amount and kind of competition breeds champions. Americans are deadly serious about their sports. They don’t take them in a leisurely, off-hand manner. The Winter Circuit Golf is no longer a summer sport for the top-notchers: The long, hard winter and spring tours from coast to coast have a great deal to do with turning out winners. These off season tours are tough. They force the player to stay in year-round con dition, mentally and physically. Con centration and determination are es sential to the player who hopes to do more than break even on the winter circuit. ' Par means practically nothing to the Nelsons, McSpadens, Hogans, etc. A par score would give them no more than tenth place in the average tournament. The pros who win consistently are the hardest workers. Golf to them is a business, not a form of recrea tion. They work as hard to perfect play with each club as the lawyer does to prepare a brief. Above all, Americans have a deep- seated desire to win. Obviously no one relishes defeat, but few ath letes will work as hard to win as those of our country. Some other nations are developing that spirit, but we still have a fairly comfort able lead." ; v That such efforts pay dividends is evidenced by the records—in golf as in the many other sports where American athletes enjoy unchal lenged supremacy.

They decide to go swordfishing next day In the Pacific rollers. CHAPTER X III “Did you hear that Reed Barton (ias been released?” he asked. “Yes. He’s now dancing with Elsa at the hotel here.” “It was too early to arrest him— or anybody else, for that matter,” he said. A friendly hand struck me lightly on the shoulder and I turned about to discover Dwight Nichols. Sam Chatfield was with him. "Still sleuthing, you two?” Dwight asked, and when Rogers repeated the observation he had just made to me, Dwight laughed. “Why not have a table? The night’s young, and the beer’s good.” So we moved to a table and or dered a round of beer. As the mozo set the order on the table, a stocky figure in a huge black sombrero shoved in and sat down in the re maining vacant seat. "Hello, fellows,” rasped the husky voice of George Rumble. “Mind if I set down with you white guys? I get fed up with these Mexicans. Maybe all this around me is glam our, but I think it’s the bunk.” "Every fellow to his own tasto,” remarked Sam Chatfield. “I love Mexico.” “I don’t. I wish I was heading home tomorrow.” ‘‘What’s keeping you?” I asked, striving for a humorous jibe. There was a hurt expression in Rumble’s eyes as if I had struck him an unexpected blow, and I apol ogized for the remark. "Oh, I know you mean it all right, Barry,” he replied. “Maybe I have hollered too much about this town. I guess it’s true what they say; when you leave the good old U.S.A. you can’t expect the same service. We’re tops in everything. But since you ask me, there’s only one thing that’s keeping me. That’s Elsa.” “Elsa?” echoed Sam Chatfield, turning to Rumble questioningly. “Yes. You know, Chatfield, if I had a Chinaman’s chance with her, Fd soon be calling you Poppa.” An extraordinary expression flick ered briefly in Sam Chatfield’s round, tanned face. Dwight laughed. "I mean it,” insisted "!tumble. “Elsa is the swellest little person I’ve ever met, and I’ve been around quite a bit.” He turned abruptly and glared at Dwight. “What are you laughing at?” he demanded. “I never was a guy to hide what I think and feel. If I love Elsa I’m going to say so. But I know I haven’t got a chance. If Elsa was my wife, though, I wouldn’t be a cheater, like some fellows.” He plunged a . hand into the pocket of his brown slacks and drew forth a billfold, opened it, took out a hun dred dollar bank note and dropped it in front of Dwight. “I don’t want it,” he said. Dwight Nichols half rose in his chair; his face had drained of its color underneath his tan. His fists were clenched and his lips set tight. An angry light was in his eyes and the next moment he would have launched himself upon Rumble, w>o continued to sit, a scornful look on his face, glaring at Dwight. “Gentlemen!” warned Sam Chat field sharply. “Don’t forget your selves.” “I haven't,” Rumble reminded him. Dwight sank down into his seat; his hands dropped trembling upon the table. “And I suppose,” Rumble continued, preparing to leave, “that you’d rather I got out.” He glared about the table as if we all were his enemies. “Well, I’ll go.” He stood up. His eyes caught the gaze of Rogers. “Hunt,”, he said, “I ain’t got anything against you. I’m wise to some things you’d like to know. You want to know who killed the Chatfield wom an, and who killed Chesebro. I’ll see you later; it’ll interest you to hear what I can tell you.” Rumble pushed away from our table, pulled his enormous black sombrero down upon his forehead, and walked through the crowded bar and out into the night. No one spoke until the door had closed be hind him. Then Sam.Chatfield said, “Extraordinary person.” “Yes, isn’t he?” Dwight agreed nervously. He picked up the bank note, folded it precisely and slipped it into his pocket. His gaze swept about to include all of us. He bit his lips slightly, then said, “Well, Rumble has made it necessary for me to explain something.” “Not if you don’t feel like doing it, Dwight,” I counseled. He brushed my remark aside with an impatient gesture. “I’ll be brief.” His voice was crisp. “I was the man who ran from Kitty Chatfield’s house the eve ning she died—the panicky man—. and net Reed Barton. Biiinble lied the other night, damn him, when he said it was Reed. I knew that he knew it was I, but I couldn’t fathom why he lied about it. I thought, though, that it was for blackmail. Anyway, I gave him the hundred yesterday, and he asked, rWhafs that for?’ and I said, ‘Think it over.’ I thought everything was all right, and that he’d be quiet, or else raise the ante on me if he thought it was worth more than that.” “But blackmail—” began Rogers. “Yes, I know, Hunt. I’m the last person in the world to submit to that, but—you don’t know Margaret. I’d rather cut my own throat than have her suspect me of any wrong doing; I wouldn’t deceive her for worlds. I never have. There was never anything between me and Kit ty Chatfield, except a friendship. But I never could explain to Mar garet why I was at Kitty’s that eve ning. She thought I was at the Ex plorer’s Club meeting. As a mat ter of fact I did go to the tneeting. Kitty telephoned me there and asked me to come over at once; she said she needed my advice about something. It was urgent,' but she wouldn’t tell me what it was on the telephone. And I never did find out, because—she was dead when I got there. I’d entered with out knocking, stumbled over the body on the floor. I heard some- His fists were clenched and Ids lips set tight. body moving around upstairs. Some one came in at the front door— Margaret has since said that it was she—and I did get panicky. I ran out. I didn’t stop running until I was up the street a way. Perhaps I passed Rumble; he says I did. I don’t know.” He ended his confession, plunged his hand into his pocket for his cigarettes, and lighted one before any of ,us could speak. The rhythmical beat of the ship’s engines filled my waking conscious ness. For some minutes in the faint light of dawn I lay looking at the humped figure of Huntoon Rogers in the opposite bunk, not realizing what it was or why there was the sound of the engines. Finally I roused completely, got up and looked out of the porthole, and there before my eyes, fading in the morning mists, was the sleeping town of Mazatlan. “Oh, yes.” I muttered to myself, returning to my bunk, “we’re going fishing." And so we were. At last Dwight Nichols was to indulge in the sport that had brought him so far from home, and which had suffered inter ruption and delay by what had hap pened on shore at Mazatlan. Not until after breakfast, however, did Mazatlan and all it stood for fall away from me like a cloak dropped from the shoulders, and I became a part of the Orizaba and a member of a fishing party. Margaret looked up from her plate as breakfast drew to a close, and exclaimed, “Why, where’s George Rumble?” For a moment no one replied, and then Arturo, the flat-faced Fili pino who served, spoke apologetical ly- ‘T m so sorry, Mrs. Nichols. The gentleman in question do not come aboard .las’ night, as you say for him to do.” Sam Chatfield was talkative, more so than at any time yet in my brief acquaintance with him. “You and Elsa are quite good friends, aren’t you?” he observed sociably, as he watched Dwight pay ing out the teaser, a cunningly carved and pivoted piece of wood which began to leap and wriggle and twist like a crazy fish in the choppy water. “Look to starboard, gentlemen,” sang out Reed Barton, pointing in the direction. “A collection of fins, o r I’m mistaken.” “Where?” demanded Sam Chat- W.M.U* e a v tC f c field eagerly, swinging about in his swivel chair. • “About two hundred yards,” Dwight estimated, motioning to the man at the wheel to change our course slightly to cross in front of our quarry. Suddenly the three dorsal fins cut ting the water near by disappeared. We crossed and re-crossed what we deemed to be the area where they might be found, but there was no sign. We stood in closer to the larg er of the rocky islets. Something struck on Dwight’s tackle, and was gone again. He reeled in and found part of his bait bitten off and he set to work to sew on another.. Be fore he had finished Rogers called out as he had done in the bay at Mazatlan, “Thar she blows!” A great silvery fish a quarter of a mile or so nearer the shore line leaped clear of the water, seemed to walk on its tail and fell back with a splash visible from our small launch. “They’re here, gentlemen,"* de clared Sam Chatfield with satisfac tion. “It wouldn’t he according to best tradition, however, to catch our fill the first half hour we’re out. That isn’t fishing. Although the last time I was here we took three in a short afternoon. That’s—” He gripped his rod as his reel whined; something had struck hard. “That’s it, Sam!” shouted Dwight. “That’s a marlin.” “Yes, I think so, Dwight.” He let the line run out, then his body suddenly stiffened. He checked his reel and pulled hard to sink his .hook. A veritable submarine ex plosion followed at the end of his line, and away the line went for a long run, while Sam Chatfield set tled down in his seat, the muscles about his mouth set hard, his eyes intent upon the area of blue water in which his marlin must be. “Oh—oh, fellows,” shouted Reed Barton. “I’ve got something. ’Tisn’t a marlin, though. “So have I,” echoed Rogers. They each had hooked a mackerel of five or six pounds, and were pro ceeding to reel them in when sud denly Sam Chatfield’s marlin came to life. The swivel chair under him groaned and creaked as he braced himself to hold the giant fish in its desperate threshings below the sur face. Little by little he had reeled it in close, but it was not yet ready for the gaff. Suddenly the dorsal fin of a marlin appeared close by the launch, drawn, as we were soon to realize, by the rushes of the two mackerel. “Look, fellows,” Reed Barton shouted. “He’s after my fish!” Indeed it was; the long sharp sword was pointed in the direction of Reed’s fish, now fighting at the surface. With an incredible rush the marlin was upon it, striking it with his sword. It was Rogers who first realized the danger we were in; he called a warning. “I don’t like that thing too near, Dwight.” He started vig orously to reel in his own catch. The next moment I saw two wicked little turquoise blue eyes rising through the water, gleaming like sparkling gems as they caught the rays of the sun. And then some thing happened. We were a long time piecing to gether exactly what occurred in the next few seconds of time. We went over and over it to make sure that we were correct in the sequence of events, and to the best of our belief this is what occurred: Sam Chat field’s marlin put on the brakes only a few feet, perhaps, below the sur face and not far from the launch. Sam, thereupon, sat back hard in his chair, and the swivel mecha nism beneath him gave way and he feU suddenly to the deck: The mar lin must then have executed a turn and headed back toward his enemy in the launch. This accident at the height of the excitement which gripped us, with two marlin being played, and Rog ers and Reed Barton both reeling in smaller catches, which of a sud den were being pursued by a hungry marlin, was bewildering. Sam Chat field appeared to scramble to his feet; he had thought only for his fish. But the breaking chair un derneath him and his abrupt fall dislodged the butt of his rod from its leather socket, which struck him a hard blow in the pit of the stom ach, for he grunted sharply as if his breath had been knocked partly from him. He had sufficient strength to get to his feet and presence of mind to keep a firm grip on his rod with a single hand, but as he rose to his feet he was off balance. The launch was pitching in the small chop of the waves, and of a sudden, before we could lift a hand, he Wppled over the stern into the water. So startling was this, and so quick ly did it happen, that no one even so much as cried out. At the same time Rogers had risen to his feet in a desperate effort to swing his small fish from the water out of the reach of the pursuing marlin. There was a final short rush of a huge torpedo- Uke body rising from below, a mighty splashing as Sam Chatfield came gasping to the surface of the Water, and the huge marlin he had been playing was upon him. Before our horrified gaze the long rapier like bony sword drove directly through Sam Chatfield’s chest from front to back.

Lesaon for February 6 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. IESUS FEEDS THE MULTITUDES LESSON TEXT-M ark 6:35-44; 8:1-9. GOLDEN T E X T -I am the bread of life: ae that comelh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never ;hirst.—John 6:35. Hungry! That word describes the crying need of the greater part of the world’s population. Men who have vaunted themselves because of their ability and ingenuity have brought the nations of the earth into such awful confusion that even God’s abundant provision cannot reach the needy ones. God is concerned ai.out man’s physical need just as truly as He is about spiritual needs. This story brings Christianity into action on a level that all will appreciate—the need of food for the body. It works there as it does everywhere. The supply of every need of man is God. “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19). Countless Christians have found it to be true that we may trust God— completely—and for everything. The stories of the feeding of the two groups of people show the wrong and tho right attitude toward man’s need. In two approaches to the problem the disciples were wrong. Then Christ showed them the right way. I. They Can Take Care of Their Own Need (6:35, 36). “Send them away”—that was the plea of the disciples when the multi tude of those who had followed Him became hungry. The people were there because they were interested in Christ. They had come in a hurry (v. 33) and had not brought food. The problem was on the disciples’ hands, and they sought the easiest way out. Let them shift for them selves—“Send them away.” The church has followed iheir ex ample in dealing with the social problems of the people down through the years. The result is that being denied fellowship, comfort, and help by a church which was too busy building up a vast organization or a beautiful order of worship, the common people have respond ed to the appeal of political leaders who have provided a substitute for what the church should have given them. When Jesus put upon them tht di rect responsibility to feed the people, the disciples changed their “slogan” and said:n. We Shonld Like to Help, but We Cannot (6:37). Reckoning hastily on what a small boy had brought for his lunch (trust an alert boy to be ready!), the disciples soon demonstrated that it was impossible to feed this great throng. (See similar reasoning in Mark 8:4). Logic is such a devastating thing when it operates apart from faith ih God. They were absolutely right in their reasoning and in their calcula tions, but they had forgotten the one factor that really counted. Jesus was there, and Jesus is God, and God is omnipotent. As we face the need of the world now and after the war, we wonder how the peoples of other lands can be fed without depriving our own land of what it needs. It is a great problem, and we ought to pray for those who must work with it. But let us not forget that all that we have comes from God, and that He is able to do “exceeding abun dantly above all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3:20). The Christ who multiplied the loaves and fishes is our Living Lord today, and ready and able to do it again. III. Jesus Said, “I Have Com passion on the Multitude” (6:38-44; 8:1-9). He started right. Instead of shut ting His heart against the tender de sire to help, -He let His love for the people control. Then instead of magnifying the difficulties, He mul tiplied the provisions. And lo, there was enough for' all, and to spare. “He commanded . . and they did all eat” (w . 39, 42). When God speaks, all the limitations of the finite disappear, and the'needs of men are fully met—with “twelve baskets full of fragments” left over! Note the orderly manner in which our Lord met this situation. Five thousand men, with women and chil dren to swell the throng, were seat ed ' oi> the grass. Jesus took the loaves and fishes and blessed them. You who forget to return thanks at the table, notice that quiet and mean ingful act. Then He broke the loaves and divided the fishes. No doubt they were multiplied as the disciples passed them out to the people. » Qod is able to do that very thing even in our day. Perhaps not in just the same manner, but surely those who serve Him have marveled as they have seen that “little is much when God is in it.” Let those who labor in difficult places with limited resources take heart—and trust God. Note the care with which the frag ments were collected for future use. It took this war to teach America how shamefully wastefql it has been. /""VF COURSE having guests to- ^ day means that you’ll have to be lucky to have enough red points to feed them but you don’t need any points at all to have these seven handsome designs to em broider on your guest towels!

On the beaches of Italy, in the jungles of the Pacific—planes, tanks, artillery must move—and fast; no !waiting to build roads or airfields. !That’s when our soldiers must un roll these “steel mattresses,” as you 'see them in this photo. Your War Bonds pay for them. U. S. Trtasury Dgparimtui To the People of this Community YOU CAN AFFORD IT You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds during this Fourth War Loan Drive. Everyone in this community knows incomes are higher than ever before— that both work* ers and farm* ers have more cash than ever before. Everyone knows that more than one member of hundreds of families are income earners—and everyone knows that increases in wages and salaries have far outstripped rising prices, and increased taxes. You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds. As a matter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to Buy Extra War Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want to help win the war you can’t afford NOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the service, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a gilt-edged investment for your own future security, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra War Bonds. Don’t just do the expected—buy AU the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR: To the People Cf this Community YOV ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as “little” investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im- p o rtan ce in your mind in making up a 5% billion dollar total for individuals. But multiply y o u rse lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he regained consciousness, asked: “Did I do my best?" That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you decide the extent of your personal participation In the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is “your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the window of your home. “Let’s Keep Backing the Attack.“ THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KILLED United States Marines paid the stillest price in human life per square yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost It was kill or be killed. Your boys did not fiinch when they ran into the deadliest firepower along the beaches of this important Gil b e rt Islan d stronghold.This assault, bloody and costly, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the boys? Remember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treasury’s red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming “We bought Extra War Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a direct fighter against Japan and Germany. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding assault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds in the 4th War Loan ifyou would help these boys. THE EDITOR.

C. “ Then said Jesus unto his disci ples, Tbe harvest is plenteous, bnt the laborers are few; pray ye there fore the Lord of the baryest. that be will send forth laborers into bis harvest.” — Matt. 9:37-8 8. Our text was spoken by Jesus unto His disciples.. When he look ed on tbe masses of unevangelized, unsaeed people who were as sheep without a shepherd, going astray and going to bell He told the di sciples to pray nnto tbe L ordofthe harvest for more help. There were not enough preachers, missionaries, teachers, sonl-winners and earnest workers to reach the multitudes with the Gospel and tbe truth, and to present the glorious plan of full salvation. It was so when onr Mas ter was on earth; it is so today. Tbe fields are far larger than tbe laborers can take care of. Precious souls by millions are perishing with ont the Gospel, without Christ, without Holy Ghost salvation. The disciples were to pray that tbe Lord would send forth more la borers into the broad, expansive harvest fields of unsaved humanity. That is what we are to do today. When we pray for more help, and God calls and sends forth men and women as laborers into His fields, we can look for good and gre-t re sults. We fear that many who are preaching, teaching, pastoring and even evangelizing, or going as mis. sionaries to many of the mission fields of earth, have never been called and sent of God. They de cide wttbin themselves to go, and make this a profession rather than hear God’s call. In other words, they have not been prayed and call ed into service. They take it as business men take, or choose, a profession. Hence tl:e deadness of many, many of the laboters. Thev do not know God experimentally. They have never been born of tbe Spirit, never been sanctified, hence brve not been called. It is true that many ot them have been to modernistic schools where they have been taught enoniousiy, and as a consequence go forth as modernists so spiritually dead, dry and power, less until tbe world looks on in wonderment akd says, “ W hat is it all about 7” W hen we obey the instructions Jesus gave to His disciples to pray for the Lord to send forth laborers, more IaboreR, born again, Spirit, filled, Holv Ghost laborers into His fields of perishing humanity, we are going along the right line, pur suing the right course, and gracious and glorious resvlts wiil follow as a conseqnence. Voters Cannot Forget New Deal Label Despite President Roosevelt’s sug gestion that the name ’’New Deal' as a label for his political party be discarded the voters are not likely to forget wbat that label represents To millions of Americans tbe "New Deal” has come to mean unlimited spending accompanied by Federal treasury deficits, high taxes and a huge national debt; bureaucratic con trol of many of the activities of pri vate citizens and of business; play ing politics with pressure groups that include many votes; setting class confusion, duplication, uncertainty, delays, scattered authority in deal ing with problems affecting labor, a- griculture and industry by tbe num erous boards, bureaus and commis sions, created by the “ New Deal.” ' No. Mr. President, the people can not forget the “New Deal.” But tbev can do something about ac ceding to your request that it be dis carded—and they will at the general election on November 7. 1944.—Ex. We have plenty of stores and ga rages, hut wbat we need now is more mills and factories. 4Look Here Mr. Striker’ Kenneth Walsh, a Muncie. Ind. boy who a sailor aboard a warship somewhere in the Pacific, is the au thor of the following article, which recently appeared in The Muncie Press his uome-town paper. I want to show you a bit of hal lowed ground—it is the Arlington Cametery of the South Pacific; it is tbe Valhalla of American service men. I’m going to show you this bit of ground, but it will be done the hard way. Come with men up Sea- Iark Channel at dawn of a day in August. Yes, Mr. Striker. I want y u to stand at the rail with these men, nerves drawn as taut as a violin, string—mouth dry, eyes strained to the breaking point breath coming in short gasp of fear—that awful feel ing of nothingness in the pits of tbeir stomachs. The objecti ve comes into view, the time has come for these men to step out on the stage, and they know full well that death plays tbe leading role in this tbeatrer There thev may gc over the side of the big transport—Tom Jones. Pick Brown, Harry Smith. Hand over hand they crawl down the cargo nets into their small crafts that is to take them to a rendezvous with that death. You know, it’s death—it is in the destiny of these men. The first objective is reached—the coroanut grove at the water’s edge. Men are down never to riBe again, other men move up to take the places of the fallen. The main abjective is; an airfield beyond that fringe of co. coanut trees, and as though God Himself has pulled the curtain on this brutal stage, their movements became vague and finally obliterated and these movementc become lost to you. The uucertainty. tbe utter feel ing of helplessness, leaves the ele ment of time suspended in the hellish hot sun of the tropics. Close your eyes, Mr. Railroad Worker, close them tight; it is an other day, in another month; your hands are gripping another rail that separates the living from the dead in these areas of war. You can open your eyes now. Mr. Coal Miner, open tbenr wide Yes, the seeds that have been planted have grown into bloom; the bioom is the row upon row of white crosses that meet the eye. These men have paid tue price in full for just seven small acres of ground, but seven of tbe most im portant acres of ground ever owned by Uncle Sam. Restful, isn’t it, peaceful and quit —yea. quiet with eternal peace. Read the epitaphs. Mr Labor Leader, they tell a story in themselves—America, the Land of the Free. There’s a Star of David beside a pair of rosary beads owned by some Irishman. A captain of Marines and a colored boy from Georgia sleeps side bv side —a lieutenant from Indiana, a sailor from North Dakota, an aviator from Ohio, from here, from' there, from every star in the flag, a cross in the ground. Tom Jones, Dick Brown, Harry Smith. It’s their home now. some 7.000 miles from home These men were making $50 a month Mr. Striker, $50 a month, room and board. When you were a kid, Mr Striker, you studied about the American heri tage ; f "life, liberty and the pur suit of happ ness ” Weil, read it a- gain and then again; study it; delve hack into the pages of American his tory and show me anything in the A- merican creed of living that will jus tify your wartime strikes. Comeout here with us in these South Pacific waters and stay a while. Eat pur chow, sleep in our sacks, watch us work, help us fight these jungles fiies. help us kill malaria-braring mosquitos. Walk with us through tbe mud and the slime of the swamps of these jungle islands; walk with us in the sweltering, steamy heat of the noon-day sun There isn’t any air- conditioning out here. Mr, C. I. O., and there isn’t any way you can strike for it, either. You haven’t even the time to think about it. Come with me to the bridge over the jungle river. I want you to see someone who would make you a- shamed of tbe extra 50 cents an hour you get in your pay envelope. He’s just a 17-year old kid that the brass hats put on duty at this infrequent bridge for the simple reason that he isn’t sure of himself anymore. Did I hear vou ask what’s wrong with him? He was on a destroyer that took three “fish” amidships and blew up Mr. Twenty Dollar-a Day Man. His brother was on that ship, too. There were but a few surviv ors from a crew of 300. and his brother was not among them. He’s plainly shell-shocked Talk to him a while, watch him; he’ll break your heart, man, if you have one. Did you ask me how much money he makes? It’s $50 a month. Mr. Weld er—$50 a month, room and board. And here’s a guy I want you to meet—a left handed Marine. What’s so remarkable about that? I should make myself clear. He’s learning to be a left-handed Marine A Jap slashed off his right hand at the wrist as l,e was climbing out of a foxhole on Guadalcanal* He is mak. ing $50 a month, room and board Ask him how near sighted tbe Jap is reputed to be. He’ll tell you that in a morning checkup no less than 25 of bis buddies were found dead at their posts, shot through the head. Mr. Slacker. Found 7,000 miles from home in a God-forsaked bole on a God forsaken bit of land. Not very nice to hear about, is it? But it’s the brutal truth. Think about it the next time you sit over a big steak dinner in your comfortable home. See that boy sitting over there on that hatch cover. Mr. A. F. of L ? He’s only 22—just a boy, maybe the one that lived down the street from you H elooksdow nin the mouth doesn’t he? Wby shouldn’t he? Some time this week his wife is going to have a baby, but he’s not going to be there when it happens. He has to stay out here for the duration . . . “ Wonder if it’s a b^r or a girl; hope it’s a boy. I wonder if wonder if may wife is well. Please, God, she doesn’t die—she can’t die—I’ve got to get home.” Fiftydollarsa month Mr Steel Worker, $50 a month, room and board A ship today is bringing in a car go of human suffering. Come down to the quay with me and witness the transition of young America. Them en on the warf become a tense, tbe music has a sound to it that is of the infinity as all eves are strained toward the slowly descend ing gangway. Tbe first man of these thousands of battered' troops tortu- ouslv feels his wav to the ground, the band strikes up the "Star-Spang led Banner" as soldier after soldier follows in his wake But what is wrong? These men have to be led! They aren’t sure of themselves as they stumble and fum ble their way to solid ground. Mr. John L. Lewis, looks, into tbe eyes that are open, but see not. Watch lips that move, but say nothing. Look at the stumps daggling from their bodies that once were arms and legs. Look into the souIb of these shell-shocked, fear-ridden, malaria- sick men that are not-men but sacks of skin and bones. Nerves gone, minds temporarily deranged, bodies numb from being stretched on the searching rack of war But stay awhile, Mr. Striker don’t leave me now! Do you hear the bu gle in the far distance blowing tape? It has an uneartnly sound and It is for the unearthly that it is being played Th) big boom on t!,e hos pital ship swings downward a n d picks up the last of her cargo—the wicker basket of the dead Look around you, man Those are tears you see in the eyes of these hard-bitten veterans as they watch tbe baskets being lowered to the dock and draped with the flag for which the dead have giveh their lives. Yes, Mr. W ar Plant Striker, these men are getting $50 a month—$50 a month, room and board. An Xmark opposite your name means come to see us. N O '?* TO OUR MERCHANTS There was an old greazer and he had a tot of sense; He started up in business on a dol lar eighty cents. The dollar for stock and eighty for an ad Brought him three lovely dollars in a dav, by dad. Well, be bought more goods and a little more space, And he played that system w’th a smile on his face. The customers'flocked to bis two by four And soon he bad to hustle for a regular store Uoon the square, where the people pass He grabbed up a corner that was all plate glass. He fixed up tbe windows with tbe best he had, And he told them all about it in a half page ad. He soon bad ’em coming and be never quit.

Former Davie Folks Make Good Pay as you go has always been tbe best way to get ahead, but most of us never quite got . around to it, until tbe government bas made us develop the habit.

' While fishing Dtr marlin, 6am ChatfieId has a strike. As he is' about to land the fish, bis swivel chair gives way and he topples out. The marlin's rapier like sword drives through him and he sank-below the waves. CHAPTER XIV I saw the black, wicked point emerge through the white shirt on his back, and then instantly in one mighty threshing of foaming water, Sam (jhatfield, impaled upon the cruel weapon, swordfish and all sank belowinto the depths of the sea. We stared horrified from the rock ing launch at the spot where they sank. For some moments huge bil lowing masses of bubbles streaked with blood came boiling up to the surface. Finally even these ceased, and the dancing, sparkling waters of a blue sea held no sign of what had happened. Rogers accompanied Dwight and Reed Barton that afternoon when they went solemnly into the lounge to break the news. The rest of us were purposely occupied with get ting the launch stowed on deck and preparing to weigh anchor, for we were, of, course, returning immedi ately to Mazatlan. Dwight came out at last, followed by Rogers and Reed Barton. The latter two joined me at the rail, while Dwight walked slowly forward to the bridge. “Berta took it very hard,” Rog ers commented, as if making a re quired report. “In fact, she went to pieces: It was all that Margaret and Elsa could do to quiet her. Mar garet gave her a sleeping powder, and she’ll probably soon be asleep.” We came abreast the harbor en trance and into smoother going; the yaeht ceased to roll in the long swells. Something was on Rogers’ mind. It was quite obvious, now that I had learned to recognize his. moods. “Barry,” he said speculatively, “could this afternoon’s tragedy have been entirely an accident, do you think?” “it couldn’t have been anything else. An accident, you know, may have many purely coincidental fac tors in it, but they all click in se quence. That’s what constitutes an accident. How else, except by ac cident, would a swordfish stab a man to death?” “I don’t mean the swordfish’s part in it,” he said. “That, of course, is quite accidental. But could it have been an accidental factor in the se quence you speak of for the chair to break?” "It did break.” “Yes, I know, but—” “You’re wondering if someone could have tampered with the chair with the expectation of causing an accident.” “Exactly.” “Well—perhaps.” “•Of course it’s an idea that re quires exploring. But there’s a prac tical side to it; was or was not the seat tampered with? And can we determine at this time whether it was or not? Let’s go see.” Without waiting fer my reply Rog ers walked aft to the launch which was stowed in its cradle. We paused beside it in the dusk. “Have you a flashlight, Barry?” “I’ll get one.” “I can re-assemble the mecha nism,” Rogers remarked after some tinkering, “if you’ll hold the light for me, Barry.” ,He gave it to me and I directed the rays while he fitted together the several parts. He soon had it complete, except for a nut. I am not much of a mechanic, but Rogers had demonstrated that he was quite good at it, and soon we had the chair back in what seemed normal working order. “The swivel seems to work all right. Sit down in it, Barry, and let me watch the mechanism.” I sat down as he requested. “Now rock back and forth in it, and swing round and round in it.” I followed his instructions, while he lay flat on his. stomach and with -flie aid of the flashlight peered un derneath. Suddenly and without warning the seat collapsed under me and I fell with it in a heap. Rogers, exhibiting extraordinary agility for a man so large, man aged to escape unhurt. “Didn’t hurt you, did it, Barry?” he inquired, sitting up, hugging his knees. My back had suffered a slight wrench, and I said so. “I’m sorry,” he apologized, “but you were nearer Sam Chatfield’s weight than I.” “Do you think, then, that some body tampered with the chair?” “What about George?” “Last night while we were an chored, and before any of us had gone ashore, Elsa and I were at the rail. Somebody was loafing in the launch alone and in the dark. EIsa asked me who was down there. I thought it was some one of the hands, perhaps. And then George F.umbie climbed out and came up the ladder.” Rogers got slowly to his! feet, shift ed his legs outside of the launch and stepped down upon the deck of the yacht. I followed, holding my back. “I think that we should have a talk with George,” he said. A little group of household serv ants clustered about the huge stud ded :door as we drew up at the ranch. Willing hands helped Berta from the taxi; scurrying feet went to prepare the way, while Berta, round and. plump and widowed, made a pathetic figure between Elsa and Margaret as they helped her to the seclusion of her room in the great house. Rogers and I hung our hats on the rack at the entrance and prepared to wait in the big living room until we could in decency depart to a more cheerful atmosphere. Rogers offered his cigarettes and lighted one himself. ■“It’s all very puzzling, Barry,” said .Rogers with a sigh. “I don't make much of it. To get back, thoiigh,” he continued, “to the case of Kitty Chatfield; everybody has been frank to confess a motive of sorts, ranging from Elsa’s bitter hatred of her aunt down to Rumble’s unpaid bill. Again, in the death of Chesebro, Rumble has a well-defined motive; Reed Barton and Dwight Nichols have motives equally good; and Elsa, the other day, while still very angry, threatened to kill him. Whatever it was that roused her to “She’s gone to sleep,” was the calm answer. such anger, she has not divulged to me. Do you know what it was?” “Nb." “You seem to have Elsa’s confi dence to a greater degree than the rest of us, .Barry.” “I’m prbud of that fact, Hunt, but she’s ,not told me what was be tween her and Chesebro that day.” Rogers yawned and looked at his watch. “I wonder,” he said, “if we’ll have time to look up Rumble when we go back down town to night?” “I should think so. He’ll be around somewhere, of course.” Rogers got up and went out into the living room. He was growing restless and I suspected'that he was hoping to catch a glimpse of Mar garet or Elsa and, if possible, hasten our departure. He came back pres ently without having seen anyone. As he stood on the threshold his gaze strayed to the shadows above the built-in book shelves. His mus cles tightened perceptibly and an odd look came into his face. He walked to the desk and lifted the oil lamp overhead the better to see. “It gave me a start, Barry,” he said. “So natural it looks as if it’s up there.” By this time I was on my feet, staring up at the mounted head of a marlin, .its long spearpoint thrust out into the room, the glass eyes supplied by the taxidermist seem ingly possessed of all the wicked ness that must have shone through the natural ones when its owner swam the blue seas. He continued for some moments to examine the trophy, then climbed down, replaced the lamp and re sumed his seat. “Gruesome thing to have around now,” he remarked casually. His left hand strayed to the desk blotter where several let ters and papers were tucked in the pocket comers, fingering them idly. Rogers suddenly reached into the center of a small bunch of letters in a corner pocket of the blotter and drew forth a clipping from the ro togravure section of a newspaper. “What have you found?” I asked. “Something?” “Yes, something interesting.” He passed it across to me and I took it and held it to the light. “I have one like it. Exhibit A, I think I called it; you’ve told me that Reed Barton has one. It seems that Sam Chatfield procured one also.” It was the picture of Elsa and the baby which had so startled us all only a few days previously. Un deniably it was a most appealing picture; Rumble was right when ha said it contained heart interest. But those damnable cut lines underneath the picture: “Elsa Chatfield, whose caricatures have recently won wide acclaim, and her small daughter, Mary. Frances.” “That was a lousy thing for Rum ble to do,” I said. “His explanation was plausible— and innocent of any intent to harm.” “Lousy just the same, for the ef fect that it must have had back home. I wonder if Elsa dares face it now. It will revive among her friends and acquaintances the old story that once re-echoed up and down South Orange Grove Avenue in Pasadena.” “I remember Dwight’s telling US of it.” “Hard on Elsa.” “Very.” “Especially now that Chesebro’s dead.” I passed the clipping back to him and he took it and studied it for a long while under the light. “Now that Chesebro’s dead, his picture will be in the papers. The two so close together, in point of time—Chesebro’s and Elsa’s with the baby—will set everybody who’s in terested to comparing the two.” Rogers put the clipping down and inhaled deeply of his cigarette. He blew the smoke from his lungs in a thin cloud before he spoke again. “Unquestionably, Barry, ifs Chesebro’s child,” he said. “You can’t mistake it if you have even half an eye for such things.” We sat silently turning over in our thoughts once more, the impli cations in this most amazing of the many strange events that had oc curred to us. As we sat there in the study there came the sound of a motor car on the 'gravel outside. It stopped and the motor was shut off. There followed the sound of voices, and footsteps upon the graveled ap proach. A brief command in Span ish was given at which Rogers sat up quickly. I translated the words in the voice of the jefe del policia: “Bring the prisoner!” Pedro, the pulque seller, stood in the living room between Lombardo and the latter’s satellite, Alvarez. He made a sorry-looking figure, in contrast to the neatly dressed Dr. Miguel Cruz, who was in the party, and the uniformed police. His white cotton trousers were wrinkled and stained with dust; his white shirt was so torn that much of his brown back was visible. His sharp fox like face was haggard. His small dark eyes were dull with weariness. He was bareheaded and barefooted. I had not noticed before now that the man’s left arm was bandaged just below the elbow. The rag was dirty and there was an old stain of blood upon it. Pedro, I noted, kept that arm quietly and with a mini mum of movement at his «ide.' “Pedro has reflected, upon his conduct of that night he ran away; he regrets that he did so, eh, Pe dro?” “Yes, sir.” “And he is eager now to co-ep- erate with us.” “Yes,, sir.” “You wish to go ahead with th* enactment?” “Of course, Senor Rogers.” “May I suggest that we are not all here? Senores Nichols, Barton, and Rumble are not present.” “They are following u§,. senor. I talked with Senor Nichols before I started with the prisoner.” “Senor Chatfield—of course—” “It is very sad the death of Senor Chatfield. I heard that he had died at sea, but I do not know the de tails, senor.” “I’ll tell you. Let Pedro. sit down.” Rogers pointed to a chair. “And you and Doctor Cruz come with us into the study.” Alvarez and the prisoner relaxed outside in the living room. Lom bardo and Cruz followed us into the study. I poured a whiskey and soda for them and we sat down. Rog ers began a detailed account of the accident, omitting, however, all our speculations as to the part Rumble might have played in it. “It is very sad, senor, the deatb of so good a man as Senor Chat field,” Lombardo said when Rogers had finished. “Were the gentlemen—Senor Nich ols and the others—coming immedi ately, Senor Lombardo?” I inquired. “I believe so, Senor Madison. When I mentioned to Senor Nichols that Pedro had been returned to Mazatlan, and that I wished to pro ceed with my investigation, he said that he would try to find Senor— the caballero with the very fine clothes—and bring him along. Who knows”—and he shrugged his shoul ders—“but what he is the guilty one? We must have all who were here that night of the fiesta.” “Of course,” Rogers answered. The next moment a car rolled up to the front door, the motor died with a cough, and footsteps sounded briskly upon the gravel. “It is they, senores,” said Lom bardo, rising and leading the way into the living room. Dwight Nichols entered the door way with Reed Barton at his heels. They took in at a glance the fact •hat we had been waiting. (TO BE CONTINUED) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Su n d a y I c h o o l Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D- D- Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for February 13 Lesson »w Iected and uupyrjKiiv Council of Religious permission. JESUS ON THE MOUNTAIN AND IN THE VALLEY LESSON TEXT—Mark 9:2-8. 17-27. GOLDEN TEXT—I believe: help thou mine anbelief.—Mark 9:24. The vision of the mountain top prepares the believer for service down in the valley. “Where there is no vision the people perish,” said the wise man of old (Prov. 29:18). For want of a true vision of God, a knowledge of His truth, and the God- given" constraint which makes men give themselves in sacrificial serv ice, the people will perish in their sins. But let men come to know the truth as it is in Christ, learn to know Him as the Son of God glorious and powerful, and then let them translate their knowledge of Chris tian truth and their personal spiritu al experiences into the daily minis try to the needs of their fellow men, and there will be songs of salvation and joy. I. Knowing (w . 2-7). The transfiguration of Christ doubtless meant much to Him in preparation for His coming death and resurrection. It was a fore gleam of His kingdom glory. In this lesson we are concerned with the experience of the disciples rather than the feelings of our Lord. Fundamental in both Christian life and service is a clear understanding of the person and work of Christ. One may come to Christ knowing little more than that He is the di vine Saviour, and one may enter into Christian living with a meager knowledge of the doctrines of the Bible. But the Christian who fails to grow in knowledge will not grow in grace as he should. God sets no premium on igno rance, in fact it is quite evident that the great blight on the Christian church today is the appalling lack of understanding of God’s Word. The disciples came to a fuller con viction that He was the Son of God as they saw Him transfigured and heard the Father say, “This is my beloved Son.” They learned more plainly the truth of His coming death for the sins of all mankind. They saw in the indescribable beauty of that moment the foregleam of His coming glory. What important truths these are—His deity—His redemp tion—His coming kingship. Do we have a clear grasp of these truths? If not, let us search the Scriptures. H. Growing (v. 8). “Jesus only.” He filled their vision and their hearts. They had made spiritual progress as they had seen His glory and heard the com mending voice of the Father. Great experiences of spiritual re newing and power are necessary to effective life and testimony. They may not be in outward manifesta tion, in fact they are more often in the inner recesses of the soul; but they transform men and send them forth to magnificent living for God. One wonders if much of the dearth of power in the Christian church is not to be attributed directly to the lack of such experiences with God. The disciples had an unforgettable mountaintop experience. Even so have many others.found the secret of power. Let us remember that such privi leges are not reserved for a few, they are the birthright of every Christian. Power without knowledge is a dangerous and destructive thing, but knowledge without power is a dead thing. Let us study God’s Word, but let the truth be baptized in the over flowing spiritual power of a persona] experience with God. In regeneration all that Christ is and has for us is made available. If we have not taken out our inheri tance let us do it at once. IH. Serving (vv. 17-27). One of the lessons that seems hard to learn and to keep constantly ef fective in the life of a Christian is that mountaintop experiences of spiritual uplift are not an end in themselves, but a preparation for service. All too often we come to regard such times of peculiar bless ing, whether in the privacy of our own room or in the great confer ence of Christian workers, as some thing which should glow warmly in our own hearts, making us glad in the Lord, and not as a preparation for ministry to others. Jesus and the disciples went op to the place of prayer, into the place of glory, and down to the place of service. How fitting is Riat se quence. Much confusion exists in the church because those who have fool ishly abandoned God’s Word and substituted the energy of the flesh for spiritual power have been most diligent in service to humanity; while those who know and accept the truth about Christ, and who pro fess to believe in the power of the Spirit-filled life, have failed to serve their needy neighbors. “But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up” (v. 27). Verses 28 and 29 indicate that the disciples might have done the same by be lieving prayer.'

His initial job will be to raise a cover of planes through which Nazi bombers and fighters cannot thrust at Allied infantry and tanks down under. On his record Leigh-Mallory is as good as he had better be and the business of raising an aerial umbrella is not new to him. He raised a fine one over Dieppe. Some of the fruits of that hair-raising raid were sour but the air marshal’s parasol was beyond criticism. Besides smoke-screens laid and the gun positions knocked out, bis bomb ers and Blenheims and Bostons, his Hurricanes and Spitfires fought so furiously tbat Nazi plane losses were set at 191, against a British 98. And 30 pilots of the 9!f were saved. Entering the last World war as a private after coming down from Cambridge, Leigh-Mallory finished as a flying officer with the D- S. 0. He had planned on law, but re mained In the army and the start of this war found him commanding the British Twelfth fighter group. He also organized and directed the Polish air force in England, and for his achievements has been made a Commander of the Bath. Of all Britain’s commanders none looks more British than the air mar shal. He has the wide jaw, the trim, thick mustache, the strong nose, the closely buttoned mouth glorified in cartoons. He is SI years old. ’T'HIS is just a luncheon pick-up; -*• probably there isn’t a true word in it. Sir Stafford Cripps was traveling with a Great Man. After dinner the . Great Man Maybe Mr, Crtpps IsiVt as Austere As Yarn Suggests hauled out a couple of his terrific c i g a r s . “I never“Smoke!” he urged, smoke,” said Cripps. The Great Man turned himself into a chimney, poured a stiff brandy, poised the bottle over a sec ond glass and raised eyebrows in a convivial invitation. "I never drink,” said Cripps. The Great Man had several stiff ones. Ten o’clock came. At the Grst chime Cripps checked his wrist watch. It was ten, right enough, “G’night!” he said briskly. "I al ways go to bed at ten.” Britain’s minister of aircraft production probably isn’t as se vere as all that. But be can be grim; as now when he warns rosy optimists that 1914 will be the Allies’ toughest year, He took on aircraft production late in 1943 and some said he had been demoted. It did seem a come-down from the post of lord privy seal, and certainly less rewarding than his earlier ambassadorships to China and Russia. " Fifty-five, Sir Stafford is an aristo crat, a baron’s son, but he runs with left-wingers. He is M.P. for Laborite Bristol and works to allay/ distrust of Communism.

Since Schepmann took over after tough Victor Lutz died In that automobile accident last May, his task has grown enor mously. There are 12,000,000 re bellious alien workers in the Reich now, and if these are to be kept at work along with the bombed natives, the SA must turn the trick. Fifty now, Schepmann was born in the troubled Ruhr. In the first World war he von his Iron Cross in the infantry and survived, three wounds and at the end was a lieu tenant. With peace he spent much time in the headquarters of the budding Nazi group at Dort mund and finally Hitler made him a full time SA leader. When the Nazis at length came to power in ’33 Hitler ordered Schep- mann to wipe out opposition in Dortmund. There was a lot of op position. Communists were numer ous. These all vanished, however, after Schepmann’s militia caught up with the leaders; and Dortmund be came known as the town where po litical suspects most frequently were shot while trying to escape, or com mitted suicide by leaping from their prison windows.

A MAN who has met so many motion picture stars that he can’t even re member how; many he’s , known told me that Joan Fon- , taine is really pretty, wonder- I ful. Vitality, intelligence, j warmth, sensitiveness — she ' has them all, said he. He seems to be right. A girl who . grew up with her and her sister, Olivia de Havil- land, told me that Joan always did know what she wanted, and how to get ,it. Well, when she came to New York after finishing “French man’s Creek” for Paramount, she wanted a vacation with her hus- JOAN FONTAINE band, Brian Aherae. So she took it, in a quiet comer of Connecticut— and sandwiched work as a nurse’s aid in with doing the marketing. You’a never have known, if you heard Marlena Dietrich recently on the CBS Playhouse, in “Manpower,” that she started for the broadcasting studio in fear and trembling. Back in August, 1942, she appeared on that same program—and fans prac tically mobbed her when she got out of a cab in front of the impres sive building. This time she wore old clothes—and the doorman didn’t want to let her in! Here’s perfect casting: Samuel Goldwyn has engaged Victor Mc- Laglen for the role of the pirate known as “The Hook” in his tech nicolor production of “Treasure Chest.” McLaglen will be a good pirate, even though he will be the nemesis of Bob Hope, and so in volved in comedy. Hope’s cast as a touring actor who gets involved with a boatload of pirates. tsSSS: Lewis E. Lawes, for many years warden of Sing Sing, calls “New. Prisons—New Men” “the first pic ture I have ever seen which clearly portrays the all around activities of a modern prison in operation." It’s the latest of the “This Is America” series. Ruth Brennan, daughter of Wal ter, begins her screen career in a small role in Selznick’s “Since You Went Away.” Not wanting to trade on her father's fame, she used the name of Lynn Winthrop—but the only person she fooled was herself. Her father’s been signed by War ner Bros, for one of the top roles in support of Humphrey Bogart in “To Have and to Have Not.” *— Months of study preceded one deft stroke of Adrian Grasselly, who split the famous $200,000 Liberator diamond, the largest ever found in Venezuela. The 155 carat stone is shown in closeup at bottom. The BIno Network’s glamour star, Gertrude Lawrence, is one of the proudest women in America, since the American Red Cross gave her her first stripe for 1,000 hours of service. Everybody who. knows how much time and good hard work she gives to aiding Uie war effort feels that she ought to be the most deco rated gal in America; she’s never tob busy or too tired to do whatever she can. “One Man’s Family” got its start on the air as a sustaining progTam on NBC way back in April, 1932. Carlton E- Morse had been writing and producing radio programs like “Chinatown Squad” and “Twisted Tales,” but felt that the story of life as it is to the average American would appeal to the public. First thing anybody knew, the public made it a weekly listening habit— and it still is. Nancy Kelly would like to spend winters' on Broadway, on the stage, and summers in Hollywood, in pic tures—if she manages it, let’s hope she’ll get better picture assignments than she’s had recently. At 17 she was sensational in “Susan and God,” on the stage, and the movies grabbed her. To an unprejudiced onlooker it seems that she’s capable of far better work than she’s done so far.

The executive committee of the United States Golf association re vealed recently that membership in the association dropped from 758 clubs a year ago to 703, but that 27 other clubs joined the public links division. Golf in general can take a bow for its showing during the past year. Certain groups, apprehensive about the future, had voted to curtail ac tivities almost to Uie vanishing point. Immediately after the declaration of war there may have been reasons for such a drastic step, but the time for that is removed. It is distinctly not to their credit that they have made no attempt to resume at least a part of their former programs. The drawing power of golf is evi denced by the fact that 483 reporting clubs raised $174,408 during 1943 for war charities with club tourneys and sold $8,548,920 in war bonds. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, golfmg-radio artists, were given special recogni tion for their help. < Certainly it is impossible for golf to carry on all of its former activi ties. A large number of the top flight professional stars are in serv ice. But the same is true of base ball, professional football and all other sports. They haven’t thrown in the sponge. Neither should golf. The Future of Outdoor Sports A few short weeks ago one of the nation’s leading sportsmen voiced the opinion that Americans may be expected to spend $3,644,000,000 a year for recreation within five years of the war’s end. This figure, based on a national income of $135,000,000,000 which economists have agreed will main tain our national economy, is more than twice that spent for recreation in 1935 and 193«. This huge amount of money—rep reventing 3.3 per cent of all consum er expenditures—will be spent for all forms of recreation. It is obvious that hunting and fishing loom large in plans for future sports activities. And it is just as obvious that many localities have given too little thought to the future. Sportsmen’s groups in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin—in fact, in al most all states Where fish and game are comparatively abundant—have done much to guarantee good fish ing and hunting for the future. They have cooperated with conservation groups, governmental and private, and have done whatever possible to assure good hunting and fishing for fellow sportsmen in time to come. Cooperation Several states have done a good Job in conservation matters. They should and can do better. Any sportsmen’s chib worthy of the name is willing to cooperate wholeheart edly in any kind of venture aimed at farthering the cause of hunting or fishing. Politics have no place In conservation but, sadly enough, few states are simon-pure in this regard. Theorists have attempted to ex plain that it is impossible for a lake to become, “fished out.” Their rea sons are varied and interesting. But outdoor men in almost every sec tion of the country can demonstrate otherwise. From their own expe rience the veterans can prove the difference between “then and now.” The same is true of wild game in almost all forms. In certain hunt ing areas the unfortunate individual who fails to bag a deer, for instance, need only lay his money on the line and a local poacher will fill his needs. Many newcomers will be included among postwar fishermen and hunt ers. Millions of servicemen have learned to live out of doors and, de spite the horrors of war, a large percentage of them have learned more about nature than they would have during peacetime. When they return they will give more attention to activities which take them out* doors. That means hunting and fish ing, camping, hiking and canoeing. For the most part, state conser vation groups will do everything pos sible to take care of existing nat ural resources, but those official units need the active cooperation of every man interested in wild life. True cooperation can come only with an increased appreciation for our resources and less wholesale despoiling of them.

It’s used to build and repair body tissues and is necessary for both children and adults. Nutritionally speaking, we aren’t exactly on our toes. Doctors tell us that nutrition al diseases con stitute our great est medical prob lem, not from the point of view of deaths, but from disability and eco nomic loss. Tou as homemakers can do much to give the doctors a big helping hand in this matter if you firmly re solve to feed the family according to the rules laid down by the Na tional Nutrition Council. The rules are few, easy to follow, and flexible enough to fit any food budget. So, how about it, homemakers, are you willing to give out a big heaping plate of health to your family? Your reward will be happier, health ier and better people to live with. Here’s the guide to good eating. Read it over and over until you have fastened every rule in your mind and you will automatically include food from each of the classes in your- menus every day. Milk is first on the list for it’s the most nearly perfect food. See that the grownups get two or more glasses daily and the children have three to four glasses. Vegetables and fruits regulate and protect the body. They should not ever be skipped for they are easily worked into the diet. Of the vege tables you should have two besides potato, preferably one green and one yellow, and one of these raw. Of fruits you should have two a day and one of these should be a citrus fruit or tomato. This is a way of guaranteeing enough vitamin C to the system. Vitamin C is eas ily lost if cooked; that’s why a cit rus fruit or tomato is required as they are usually eaten raw. Eggs are expensive right now but you should provide each person with 3 to 5 per week. When the price goes down and we have more on hand give them at least one a day as that’s pre ferred. It doesn’t m atter how you have them—as eggs or incorporated into food. Cereals and bread should be en riched or whole grain; they’re nec essary every day. The butter requirement is about 2 tablespoons daily. Other foods may be included in the diet to satis fy the appetite and complete growth and activity needs. This, of course, includes sweets and candies or ex tra quantities of the above depend ing upon the activity of the body. One of the most important classes of foods which must be included in Lynn Says The Score Card: The vital prob lem of saving used fats so they can be utilized for explosives falls to the homemaker. Save them in tin cans; when you have a pound take them to your butcher, who will weigh them, pay for them in both points and money. You can save on foods if you refrigerate them properly.. Eggs, for example, belong in the cold est spot in the refrigerator. Ti you want to separate them, do it as soon as you take them from the refrigerator. Whites beat more quickly at room tempera ture. Cheese should be well refrig erated. To keep any of it and the precious points on it from wasting, cover cut surface with melted paraffin. Wrap well be fore storing. * Milk should go to the coldest spot in the refrigerator and should stay out only-when being poured. Bacteria develop 10 times faster at 56 degrees than at 40.

Beverage Waldorf Salad ‘Cherry Cake : tRecipe Given :the diet are the protein foods in cluding meat, cheese, fish, poultry or legumes. Although placed last :on the list, they are one of the most ■Important and I want to talk particu larly about them in today’s column because two of the most important of protein foods are rationed. Proteins are part of every living cell. The body must have them if it is to grow or build or repair it self. You can see the necessity for giving plenty of protein-rich foods to children. Adults need them, too—al though their bodies have been built, they are torn down with the work they do, and the tissues must build and repair themselves. Fish, poultry, cheese and meat are “first class” protein foods. Leg umes, in which class we include, roughly speaking, those plants that grow in pods, and consist of navy beans, black-eyed beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, black bean's, lima beans and soy beans; dried split peas, pea nuts and lentils, are what we call “second class” protein foods and that means they do an excellent job of body build ing but can’t take the place of meat entirely. Possible exceptions to this are peanuts and soybeans, both of which are now being considered complete proteins. While meat is rationed and point values high, we will have to include plenty of all the proteins in our diet. Meats with lower prices and lower point values are just as good for you, nutritionally speaking. Here’s our round-up of recipes to day. They’ll stretch meat and points and show you delicious ways of fix ing the second-class proteins: Dinner Complete.

He was a timid, introspective sort of boy who read books in his bunk at night, stam mered when you spoke to him, and, while he was a member of a 50-cali ber gun crew, he appeared to be just about everything a fighting man shouldn't be.Then, one azure morning, we were attacked by enemy dive-bombers. Down they came, peeling off one by one and lancing straight at the car rier. We had fighters up, and oar heavy antiaircraft slammed at the Japs like a hundred doors, bat the kids back of the long file of 50-cali bers just waited. Daring long, des perate seconds they simply had to stand and take it. I was watching Babe anxiously. He looked sick with fear. I wouldn’t have been surprised to see him col lapse at his post. But he didn't collapse. As the bombers’ screamed into range and the 50-calibers blazed into action, the scared kid suddenly became a man —a cool, efficient, and entirely dead ly man. He never faltered for an instant in the performance of his duties. Wartime Emotions. When the attack was beaten off; Babe was transformed. His face was flushed, his eyes bright, and he danced up and down on deck in a kind of unholy ecstasy. “We got one of ’em,” he shouted jubilantly. That illustrates a point which many noncombatants do not under stand about war. It was largely dis cipline and training, of course, which enabled Babe and his comrades to stand fast during the terrible sec onds when the Japs dived straight at them, but, once they were able to strike back, they were immense ly strengthened by an emotion which old-time writers used to refer to as “the fierce joy of battle.” There comes a time, however, when the mental and nervous fa tigue which results from constant risk-taking can, if continued long enough, sap the fortitude Qf the bravest. The case of Johnny Allen was like that. Razor-keen, spunky, a bine- eyed kid with a triangle of ginger hair on his forehead, Johnny had everything a fighter pilot needs. There wasn’t anything in the air he was afraid of, and on the ground he was invariably good-natured, happy- go-lucky, always up to some amus ing deviltry. After his arrival in the Solomoiist Johnny went on hazardous opera tional missions day after day. Often he would be in eombat two or three times in 24 hoars. After a few weeks of this, John ny’s personality underwent a marked change. In an airplane he seemed just as daring as ever, but he stopped enjoying life. Instead ol horsing around with fellow pilots aft er a flight he would go off in a cor ner and read. He groused a lot. One night he flew into a rage and took a poke at his best friend merely because he had scattered some equipment on his cot. Best Care. The squadron’s flight surgeon had a quiet talk with johnny. He broke down and bawled in the middle of it. The flight surgeon knew the symptoms. What really ailed John ny was fatigue. He wouldn’t admit it even to himself, but his nerve was gone. The surgeon sent him back to a hospital for rest, followed by leave. When he returned to the squadron he was himself again, as brave and cheerful as ever, but if the doctor had not acted promptly Johnny might have suffered a nervous crack-up which would have cost his life, and possibly those of some of, the men who flew with him. Modern Improvements. In the amphibious warfare of the Pacific, one of the chief dangers to a flier is that of running out of gaso line and being forced down' at sea or over jungle, and, in the first months after Pearl Harbor, many a kid lay. awake nights thinking about these hazards. Today they worry less about them. They have been taught how to survive in the jungle, and they know that they have 7 out of 10 chances of being rescued if they are forced down at sea in the vicinity of the group of islands where fighting is now going on.

Don't just do the expected—buy AU the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. To vhe PeopEe Cf this Community YOV ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a "little” investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im- to—— — maj-ing up a 5^ billion dollar to tal for individuals. But multiply y o u r s e lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he regained consciousness, asked: "Did I do m y best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you de cide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is “your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the window of your home. uLeCs Keep Backing the Attack THE EDITOR.

What are you doing to back up the buys? Bemember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treasury's red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming “We bought Extra War Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a di rect fighter against Japan and Ger many. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding as sault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds in the 4th War Loan if you would help these boys.

Vital Statistics for 1943 During the 865 days of 1943 the Federal Government spent more money than it did in all of tbe first 150 years of the nation’s existence. During 1943 Federal expenditures totalled 88 billion dollars, or appro ximately 241 million dollars every 24 hours. Daring 1943 t h e Federal debt showed a net increase of approxi mately 57J billion dollars. At the close of 1943, the thirteenth saccefsive year in which the Federal treasury ba3 shown a deficit, the na tional debt had reached the stagger ing total of 170 billion dollars. The "Matter With” A- merica W hat’s the m atter with America these days? Too many diamonds, not enough alarm clocks. Too many pointed-toed shoes, and not enough square-loed ones. Too many serge suits and uot enough overalls. Too much decollette and not e- nongh aprons. Too many satin-upholstered lim ousines and not enougb cows Too many consumers and not e- nough producers. Too much oil stock and not nough savings accounts. Too much envy of the results of hard work and too little desire to emulate it. Too many desiring short cuts to wealth and too few willing to pay the price. Too much of the spirit of “ get while tbe getting is good” and uot enough old-fashioned Christianity. Too much discontent that vents itself in mere complaining and too tittle real effort to remedy condit ions. Too much class consciousness and too little common democracy and love of hum anity.—Ex. Household Hints The OPA has just issued a little booklet entitled, “ Uncle Sam Keeps Your Rent Down—You Must K tep Your Home Up!” of which some 2. ooo.ooo copies were printed with taxpayers’ money at a cost of some $25,0 0 0. Tbe booklet has 15 pages and contain some 8 0 suggestions to householders. Apparently, t h e OPA thinks that tbe people are eveu dumber than does H arry Hop kins and tbe Palacr Guard at the White House, for here’s wbat tbe OPA advises vou to do: "Keep vour children from writ ing on the walls Do not throw paper on debris where it will clog drain-pipes. Oil all squeaking hinges. Do not throw lighted cigarettes out of the window. Mop up spilled water. It’s a wonder the OPA didn’t ad. vise housewives to feed their chick ens. Who Started It? Some folks suggest that petty po litics should be forgotten “for the duration.” Thefunny part of the whole thing is that the term “ petty politics” seems to apply only to any attack upon the New Deal adminis tration. New Dealers started the political discussion when a certain New Leal group began the fourth term campaign to do a little cam paigning of their own. War or no war, politics will not be shoved into the background. There is an epochal election, and while they are thinking about that election, and while they are thinking they are also going to express those tnoughts out loud. This is still a democracy, and this democracy will again take expres. sion through the ballot box. The war is not going to suffer for lack of attention or loyal support, for tbe voters will take both in their stride. Political action has been merely skirmishing so far, and probably won’t be much more than that until after tbe political party conventions, but before that time the average citizen is going to discuss parties and candidates to his hearts content. Fair Prices, Not Doles “ Government officials have ad mitted that farmers need mere mon ey and have provided subsidy pay ments as a sop, which fanners op pose-in principle. They want fair prices for their preducts, not doles from the public treasury ............... Fred H. Sexauer, President, Dairy- men’e League Cooperative Associa tion, Inc. Quotiog Another Roose velt Here’s whr.t Theodore Roosevelt had to say about criticizing the man who occupies the high office of Pre sident of the United States: “ The President of the United States is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. H e should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good con duct or bad conduct, bis efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able and dis-interested service to the nation as a whole. “ Therefore, it is absolutely nec essary that there should be liberty to ttll the truth about the acts of the president of tbe United States, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong or to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. Nothing but tbe truth should be spoken about tbe Presi dent of the United States, or any one else. But to announce that there must be no criticism of the President of tbe United States or that we are to stand by the Presi dent of tbe United Slates Or that we are to stand by the President right or wrong, is not only unpat riotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American spirit.” Idealistic Politics While President Roosevelt seems eager to divert attention from his discredited New Deal on the domis tic World New Deal, he and the members of the White House palace guard apparently find time to de vote considerable attention to play ing politics where it counts, even if this involves consorting with unsav ory political bosses. From Trenton, N. J., comes an in teresting case in point. Democratic Governor Charles Edison, who, by the way, is retiring from office in favor of a Republican, recently as serted that Federal patronage is all that is keeping Frank Hague. Tren ton’s mayor and notorious political boss, alive! Governor Edison admits that “bis patience is almost exhausten because of the national administration’s con tinued collaboration with Mayor Ha gue. In spite of ail we can do, Ha gue appintments, and he is getting plenty of Federal patronage. Mayor Hague would have been a dean duck politically long ago had it not been for Federrl patronage from Wash ington.” With such testimony coming from a prominent Democrat who served for a period as Secretary of the Navy in President Roosevelt’s cabi net, any plea addressed by New Dealers to Republicans suggesting that po.itics be anjourned, "for the duration” falls on deaf ears.

W hy don’t you do something to help someone, en courage some pilgrim on his jour ney to Heaven, or win some one to Christ that they might have a home in Heaven If you’re getting ready to meet your maker. “ Prepare to meet thv God.” Friends, if I know my heart, if I can’t help someone, do or say something to encourage tbem God forbid, I don’t want todotL em any barm. Because we haven’t gotten always to stay here. W e’re all go ing to die sooner or later, it Jesus doesn’t rapture His church first. So at all times it pays to be pre pared to face God, because tbe next minute we maybe standing, facing our record, our Savior and King, either prepared 0 r unprepared friends, it’s awful to think of stand, ing before Jesns un-saved, un.pre. pared but there’s only two places to spend ETER N ITY ! E i t h e r Heaven or Hell. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. He’ll save you if you’ll only believe Listen, Romans 10:9 “ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Iestis, and shalt believe in thine heart that God harh raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” “ And him that cometb to me I will in no wise cast out ” John 6:3 7 . W ant you quit selling your brethrhn, hating and harming them and say no to the devil, and yes, to Jesus, he’ll save you. This maybe your last chance. Just now while he’s calling, come. One more thought, friends, God loves you and Christ died for yon. Where will you spend Eternity. MRS. ELBERT DUNCAN. Kannapolis, N. C As You Already Know This is what they mean by danger- ous!

Who’s News This Week Delos Wheeler Lovelace This 3rd Term er WillAUoTake 4th if Voters Say So Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. ,XTEW YORK. — A fter 1940 it ’ seemed that Hear Admiral Boss T. McIntyre had had official instruc tions to look on only the bright side of all presi dential mi crobes. In ’40, after the usual pokes and taps and lab tests, he announced that his White House patient wasn’t so good. In ’41, however, he said the subject was in grand health and he said the same in ’42 and ’43. But now, following that recent bout with the Au, he is firm in his order that the President coast for a while. McIntyre, chief doctor to Pres ident Roosevelt for three terms and a cinch for the assignment if voters approve a fourth term, is stocky, broad-faced, full- mouthed, bald and assured, as all good doctors must be. Born in Oregon, he married and prac ticed for a while before entering the navy in 1916 as medical corps lieutenant, j.g . Until he took on the top-to-toe care of Presi dent Roosevelt he specialized in eye, ear, nose and throat mat ters and was good enough to be elected a Fellow of tbe Ameri can College of Surgeons. He has decorations from Brazil, Sweden and Belgium. When he went to the White House he was a captain, but he was boost ed oyer a lot of seniors into the navy’s surgeon generalcy and made a rear admiral forthwith. His order is that the President keep between 184 and 188 pounds, which cuts off second helpings but allows an un limited variety of food. He didn’t order but approves the President’s eight hours of sleep and breakfast in bed between eight and nine. Din ner he leaves to Mrs. Roosevelt.

McCarthy er sta te sm an an d business man, of course; and for that may take some personal credit. ^Sut consider his grandfather! A so licitor back in Dublin, he came to Canada because a partner left him short of cash and Canada seemed the best place for a fresh start. Mc Carthy wouldn’t likely be the new ambassador except for that Irish trouble. Then there is the fact that his family has Ion g held a seat in the Canadian house of commons. Toung Leighton, who was born in Ontario, near blue Lake Hu ron, helped his uncle win the seat in 1891 and that, no donbt, inspired him to run for the seat himself in 1898. He held it until 1908. He has been Canadian Minister to Washington since 1941. Early in life he studied law in an uncle’s office in Barrie, Ont. Relatives, again! He has represent ed aluminum interests and is chair man of Canadian Life, the oldest Canadian life insurance company. A humanitarian, he is a trustee of our National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and visits the President yearly at Warm Springs. They are old friends. Mr. McCarthy is a spare, polished man, six feet tall. Although he is 75 years old now, it is easy to be lieve that he once excelled at rough tough lacrosse. Fishing, golfing and riding are his present interests. — ♦----- 'X 'H E Russians can’t be reading King Carol’s recent clippings.

Cairo Conference By Frank Gervasi (W N U Feature— Through special arrangement with CoHisr’s W eekly) Long before the great Cairo con- ferences opened, knowledge of the forthcoming meetings was general. The conferees met behind barbed- wire barricades, minefields, antiair craft batteries, cordons of troops and secret police. Even more formida ble was the protective barrier ol censorship. Madame Chiang, fragile and love ly as a lotus blossom, shopped for silk stockings, visited mosques and Saladin’s Citadel and had her hair done. Roosevelt and Churchill went to the Pyramids and listened to a half- hour condensation of their aeonic history by the No. I Dragoman, Haji Ali el Robeishi, who declined a large Rooseveltian tip and made a fortune selling “exclusive" inter views to 70 war correspondents, and will have all the “Freedom from Want” a man could wish for. The Generalissimo wasn’t im pressed by the Pyramids, which he saw with Madame. The Great Wall of China, he said, gets less publicity but is a better job. The Sphinx, however, got him. “He emanates majesty,” said Chiang. Churchill, described by Roosevelt as the writer of tbe group, wrote the communique. It was edited by the President, who changed the phrase “territories Japan has taken from China” to '‘territories Japan has stolen.” Madame Chiang, who witnessed the signatures, clapped hands and blurted happily, “Thpt’s great!” Then everybody posed for pictures. The original of what became known as the “China Communique” was presented to Chiang as a souvenir, Stalin and Inonu. The subsequent meetings with Pre mier Joseph Stalin in Teheran and with Turkish President Ismet Inonu, were covered for the correspondents by proxy—by two British civil serv ants and two American ex-newspa permen employed by the Office of War Information. They did as well as coidd have been expected. The plans—as made long before they started remodeling Mena House from a comfortable hotel into an of fice building and wiring it with 400 miles of cable connections with 47 villas where the bigger shots were housed with their staffs in the vi cinity—didn’t include Stalin’s pres ence in Cairo. Arrangements were being made for the Mahomets of Anglo-American democracy, to come to the mountains of Sovietism in Teheran. When, after five days of political and military talking, planning, lunching, wining and dining in Mena House, the scene shifted to Teheran for Act Two, the China Conference in Cairo had lost its interest for re porters and perhaps for the world. Stalin had propagandistically dom inated the Cairo Conference in ab sentia. In Teheran, he dominated it in person. But all we learned directly in Cairo was that the Rus sian uniforms are of excellent ma terial, that the Soviet Secret Police is efficient and omnipresent, and that all carried gats, including serv ants. We coveisd Act One with per iscopes, and Act Two by remote con trol. Stalin returned to Moscow, and Roosevelt and Churchill to Cairo to meet the Turkish delegation head ed by Inonu for Act Three. Turkey Leans Toward War. AU three conferences were of acute importance, but in some ways, the most significant was the one in volving Turkey. The very fact that Inonu, cleverest knife-edge walker in the diplomacy of neutrality, came to see Roosevelt and Churchill was a slap in the teeth for Hitler, who, poor fellow, simply hasn’t anyone with whom to hold conferences now. Inonu’s presence in Cairo strongly indicated that Turkey’s balancing act was about over, and that the country would enter the war at 11:59% p. m. before the fateful mid night hour of victory, to secure a reservation at the peace conference. It was apparent that Turkey had at last decided that continued neutrali ty might be unprofitable, and Inonu’s arrival gave point to the statement of the Teheran Communique warning ! Germany of great offensives “from east, west and south.” 'Great Revolution.’ Final chapter in the series of con ferences, was a speech by Premier Jan Christiaan Smuts. “We are passing,” he said, “through one of the great revolu tions of history. The significance of this war is that it is the first step to that greater world which is com ing. The war of arms will j>ass. and the greater battle of the human spirit remains before us. A higher level of human destiny lies before us, for the elements are gathering for something much bigger than ever we conceived.

By VIRGINIA VALE Released by W estern Newspaper Union. THOUGH Rise (pronounced Ree-suh) Stevens has sung five seasons with the Metro politan Opera company, radio can claim her in a way; she made , h er first public appear ance as a singer on the “Sunday Morning Children’s Hour,” pro duced by Milton Cross. In 1935 she was a semi-finalist in the Metropoli tan Opera Auditions of the Air, was offered a contract—and refused; felt that she wasn’t ready for it. Para mount signed her for “The Count of Luxembourg” ; when it was delayed, she was asked to appear opposite 5fZ . . RISE STEVENS Bing Crosby in “Going My Way?”, in which she sings several operatic arias. Describing her, people say: “Keally, she’s not a bit like an opera star!” When Johnny Longden, the jockey Who rode Count Fleet to victory in the Kentucky Derby, visited the set of United Artists’ "The Hairy Ape,” he brought along a good luck token. To William Bendix, the male star, and Alfred Santell, director, he gave the shoes the great horse wore in the race, as a lucky piece on the opening stretch of their shooting. I, Carroll Naish saved a marine’s life the other day on the screen. Naish is in “Gang Ho!”, Universal’s film based on the book written by Capt. W. S. LeFrancois, USMC. The script writers had the captain die in tbeir version of the story, instead of being wounded and decorated, as happened in real life. But Naish played the captain so brilliantly that the script was revised. Gary Cooper, who rose to film fame as a strong, silent man, sings on the screen for the first time in “The Story of Dr. WasselL” The song, “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition,” was spotted by C. B. DeMille for the picture on publication. The new Sinatra picture has no title so far, but it’s under way; George Murphy, Adolphe Menjou and Gloria De Haven have been signed for it by RKO; Wally Brown and Alan Carney, comedy team, will appear as stooges to Murphy. Eleanor Powell’s dancing partner for the grand finale of “Sensations of 1941” recently arrived in Holly wood; she’s “Starless Night,” is five years old, and is rated by her owner, Capt. William Heyer, as the finest -dancing horse he’s ever trained. Virginia O’Brien, noted for her “dead-pan” portrayals, will change her screen personality in her new picture, "Dear Barbara,” which MGM is producing with Susan Peters in the lead. In the picture Frank Morgan will play a character similar to that of his telegrapher in “The Human Comedy,” which won him praise from the critics. Jimmy Durante and Margaret O’Brien also have important roles. Dennis Day, singing star of Jack Benny’s radio show, has been signed by RKO to a contract calling for his appearance in two films yearly. Whiie still unknown, Day followed Kenny Baker as the singer on the Benny program, and almost over night became a top attraction. Act ing roles on the air show helped him along, and first thing he knew he was in pictures. — * — The latest “March of Time,” ex clusive film material which reached America on the last plane out of Sweden before air travel there was suspended, shows how the Swedish people, living in precarious peace, are meeting the pressure of Nazi threats with growing defiance. — m— ODDS AND ENDS—Thertfs a rumor Aat Greta Garbo’s next picture will team her with Charles Boyer for Universal. . .

Now’s the Time to ‘Go Places’ In a Stmming Woolknit Suit By CHERIE NICHOLAS *I ./,Ji I X, tT tHAT good-looking suit you are A- planning to buy — before you make your final selection it is well worth'while to look up what’s doing in way of the now-so-fashionable woolknits. Are the spring 1944 knit models beauties! Take a glance at the trio of woolknit fashions pic tured and judge for yourself. Seen in the original, these three costumes are simply breathtaking in way of color, styling detail and figure-flat tering silhouette. The grand thing to know about the winsome little woolknit suits so con spicuously present in midseason and spring apparel showings is that the modem versions sag not, bag not and they neither bulge nor pull out of shape. Then too, their produc tion has been brought up to such point of perfection that it takes an expert to distinguish them from woven fabric.. They are, however, really knitted, which' endows them with particular qualities that make them comfortable for work or play, and at the same time they are too smart-looking for words. Town or country, traveling or wherever it goes in any clime in the U. S. A., the little woolknit suit will fill the bill. Then too, put to the test, it will be found so accom modatingly year-round in its serv ice. . Whatever the time and occa sion, women are turning more and more to knit fashions as the answer to their “What-to-wear” problems. The fact that-knitted clothes pack so easily is also greatly in their favor. No S.O.S. rush to get your little non - wrinkle suit or dress pressed when you arrive at your destination. Just a little shaking out and presto, it is ready to wear in- stanter. As to the models illustrated, that eye-appealing suit shown to the left is a striped tweed knit fabric in green with frosty white stripes, the freshness of its coloring breathing the breath of spring. The jacket has a convertible shirt collar and three patch pockets. The brown felt hat and the wooden bead-and-plastic necklace and bracelet worn with it contribute a touch of ultimate chic. Centered in the group is a most attractive hundred per cent wool knit suit that has a jacket that re lays the message of the importance of pastel colorings, in this instance being-a combination of delectable pink, green and beige for the jac quard check. The skirt is of match ing green and the hat is made of the same fabric. A classic two-piece suit is beau tifully tailored of nottingham nub, a woolknit fabric. This is in plum (important color, news for spring) with pastel petit point plaid. The hat that complements this, suit is of gray suede contrasted with a plum- color facing. With costume jewelry carefully timed to the color scheme together with gloves to blend, this is a costume that will go vainglori- ously right through midseason and spring. For dining out the new fashion collections display beaded black wool suits that have a gala air about them. Some are beaded in jet, oth ers have sequin-worked pockets and lapels, with sequin-covered half-ball buttons. JKleased by Western Newspaper Union. Pastel Jersey Colorful wools, especially in lovely pastel tones, will be coming out In full force from now on. To wear under winter furs girls are choosing young-at-heart pastel wool jersey dresses made up simply, as is this model. The latest move is to trim these pastel jerseys with narrow banding done in gay peasant color ing and design. Resourceful young folks are buying this banding by the yard with a view to adding a' new trimming touch to the simole little frocks they have been wearing. It’s a Picturesque Skirt-Blouse Season When we go casually about In our simple little cotton frocks we are going to look strikingly a la Mexican senorita in the days to come. It seems that Mexico has inspired de signers to make up gay cottons in new and picturesque ways. This is especially true in regard to. the low- cut drawstring-neck cotton blouses that are having such wide accept ance in town and country fashion circles. The shirtwaist blouse and dirndl skirt is a good “at-home” morning fashion, and to give it a Mexican dash, girdle your waistline with a gypsylike scarf, or a wide jeweled belt. With your plaid slacks wear a peon waist that has a strip of embroidered red banding run ning along each side of the front closing. Band the sleeves with tae same gay embroidery. New Millinery Showings Featnre Sailors, Cloche. In the advance millinery showings, both little sailors and those broad of brim have a prominent place. These are of felt or of fabric, nota bly taffeta or faille. However, the news that is causing most excite ment is the revival of the ever- becoming cloche. Watch for the new cloches, your milliner will be showing them in felts that are cun ningly trimmed in felt cutout flow ers. Many have the side face-fram ing flares pleated and folded in in triguing ways. Roses on New Prints The flower of the moment in fash ion’s realm is the rose. It is seen blooming in realistic colors for the new prints. With the new low-neck black frocks the fashion-correct flower to wear is the single large rose. The loveliest handkerchiefs flaunt a single lovely rose in their patterning. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY IcHooL Uesson B y HAROLD L.

The disciples were earnest and eager to have a place of hottor with > the Lord in glory, but even in that holy purpose they became selfish and argumentative. Jesus gives several marks of a truly great man. X Greatness Means Being— - I. Not First, but Last (9:33-35). The way of the world is to seek the, place of “No. I man”—to be looked up to, honored, and served by all. True greatness takes the last place, the place of p servant;-and lo, God regards that as the first place: It is not a question , of timid dif fidence, or self-effacement, but a willingness to take the humble place in order to serve all. H. Not Proud, but Humble (9:36, 37). “Great” people of this world have no time for children. Let them be cared for by servants, teachers, any one at all, but not by their “distin guished” parents. But Jesus said that the one who set aside human pride and received a child with humility of heart and mind-^and in His name—received the Lord who gave them life—spir itual as well as physical—and is in terested in them; in fact, He is with them and hence when we receive them in His name, He is there! IH. Not Exclusive, but Co-opera tive (5:38, 39). John, quick to apprehend spiritual truth, saw in the teaching of Christ concerning the little child the con demnation of something he had done. The man who casts out- demons, or who gives the disciple of Jesus a cup of water, in His name—that is, with true faith in Christ, and in His power, and for His glory—must be a believer. He may not belong to our group or circle, he may not speak our language, he may not use our methods, but if he is serving Christ we should not forbid him or speak evil of him. You and I may not like one another’s appearance, or voice, or methods, but let us love and co-operate with one another for Christ’s sake! IV. Not Important, but Approach able (10:1346). . Some who think they are great, pride themselves on being hard to reach—protected from , the rabble and their problems by secretaries and servants. The disciples had built up such an idea of the importance of Christ in their own minds. He had never giv en them any ground for it either by word or deed. So the man who is truly great fol lows in the Master’s footsteps. He is approachable, kind, has time for simple folk and little children. Il that isn’t true of a man he is not great—no matter what he may think of himself or what others may say about him. V. Not a Supervisor, but a Servant (10:42-44). • Christianity is not organized after the manner of secular government (v. 42). Much of the mischief that has come to pass in the church is the result of “running the church” as an organization, when it should be allowed to develop as a living organism. The way up is down. That is al ways true in the spiritual realm. The Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister, yea, to give His very life (v. 45). Shall not those who bear His name walk the same path of humble self-denial? Anyone who observes with even a little care knows that the church of Jesus Christ is hindered most seri ously by the presence of pride and selfish ambition. Some people will not work unless they can rule. Are there then no Christians who humbly serve the Lord? Yes, praise His name, there are many, and wherever they are found they are the salt of the earth. VI. Not Unselfish, but Sacrificial (10:45). The world is full of people who want to be served. Their little per sonalities swell with pride and pleasure if someone else cringes and bows, and serves. There is nothing commendable about being served. The great and gbod thing is to serve.' The Son of man—Himself the Lord of glory, the One who might have called legions of angels to do His will—came “not to be ministered unto but to minister.” That service meant going about doing good even when He was exhausted and worn. But it meant far more than that, for it took Him to the cross where He gave “his life a ransom” for us. Are we ready to learn of Him? PATTERNS SEWING I !

From wbat we have heard re. cently over the radio and read in the newspapers, we are led to be lieve that the Southern Democrats don’t like Eleanor as well as they should. President Roosevelt, when asked by a reporter if he was going to run for a fourth term, referred the re porter to Christ’s Sermon on the mountain. Mr. Roosevelt has no doubt read the New Testament but we venture the assertion that he never read anywhere in this good Book that the prohibition law should be repealed and the sale ot intoxicants licensed._____ Mocksville Soldier In India Promoted Au Air Transport Base in India — Announcement of the promotion of Charles G.

BLACK „ S O M B R E R O l>v CLIFFORD KNIGHT CHAPTER XV 'T m sorry, Senor Lombardo,” Said Dwight in English. “We are lste, for the reason that we searched in vain for George Rumble.” “He won’t be hard to find,” I suggested. “He probably moved to another hotel.” For a moment no one said any thing, then Rogers turned to Lom bardo. "This will interfere somewhat with your plans this evening, senor. But—perhaps we can go ahead with those of us who are here. I’m ready to be the first to put on the hat and walk to the room where Chese- bro died." There was a stir among us and we prepared to take up where we had left off the night Pedro fled. "Where’s the quirt?” inquired Rogers. “Here,” I said, picking it up from the table where it still lay beside Elsa’s hat. I gave it to Rogers. “And now we need Rumble’s black sombrero,” I said, “but it’s not here.” “Won’t another do just as well?” suggested Reed Barton. He and I went out to the rack near the door. There were several hats there; none as large, however, as Rumble’s huge black one. We settled upon one of straw. The head size was small, so that it perched on top of Rogers’ rather large head as he began a slow, measured stride down the dim passageway to the door of the room, while Pedro from his station and the rest of us at vantage points looked on. Rogers opened the door and disappeared within the room. A moment later he emerged to learn the verdict which Pedro was quick to pronounce. “No, sir; he is not the one,” he said, his teeth chattering. "Who’s next?” inquired Rogers, extending the hat and quirt toward me. “Barry, you play the role next.” I took the hat gingerly and set it on top my head, although it was a better fit for me than it had been for Rogers. I grasped the quirt firmly and with a slight sensation of cold playing down my backbone I began to walk along the passageway. “Pedro!” exclaimed Lombardo. “Speak!” My heart sank at the sound of the jefe’s voice. “He is not the man, sir,” said Pedro in a voice that was little more than a whisper. “You are sure?” "Yes, sir.” With an audible sigh I removed the hat and handed it, together with the quirt to Dwight Nichols. “You’re next, Dwight, old man,” I said lightly, although my voice sounded strained and unnatural in my own ears. He took them hesi tantly, but before he could put on the hat, Margaret appeared at the end of the passageway. She halted abruptly at sight of us. “Whatever are you doing?” she called. “Oh—” Her voice betrayed that she understood, and she moved slowly in our direction.. “It’s Dwight’s turn, is it?” “Yes, dear,” Dwight replied so berly, putting on the hat. The same hush descended upon us. There was the same suppressed breathing as Dwight moved slowly and deliberately past the place where Pedro crouched in his con cealment, and on down toward the door. Slowly he drew near the door; his hand was stretched out to touch the knob. There was a sudden move ment in Pedro’s place of conceal ment. Lombardo was alert to it in stantly; he made as if to leap upon the man, then said sharply in Span ish, “What is it, Pedro?” The sound of Uie jefe’s voice star tled Dwight. He turned about at the doorway and stood in an attitude of inquiry. “S.enor—” said Pedro hesitantly. “What is it, Pedro?” demanded Lombardo sharply. “He is the man, sir.” “This is tbe man you saw, Pe dro?” Margaret’s fingers dug convulsive ly into the flesh of my arm ; she caught her breath sharply. "Yes, sir; he is the one,” said Pedro. Elsa joined us as we entered the living room. No one had spoken in the passageway after Pedro made his accusation. "What’s happened?” Elsa de manded of m e.' “The pulque man has accused Dwight of killing Chesebro,” I said. A curious light flashed in Elsa’s level gray eyes. She appeared not to have understood me. I repeated my statement. Dwight removed the sombrero- and dropped it into a chair, the quirt he tossed, upon the table. • -I “The man is simply mistaken, Se nor Lombardo,” Dwight said, his voice remaining calm despite the strain he obviously was under. “I can understand how I might be thought to be the man you’re seek ing. It was like this: The night Chesebro was murdered we were all- here in this room. We had been talking over the death of Mr. Chatfield’s sister in California. Pro fessor Rogers had been conducting a sort of investigation into it.” Lombardo’s eyebrows lifted elo quently, and he glanced at Rogers then at Doctor Cruz who were in tent upon what Dwight was saying. “When the gathering broke up to go outside and look on at the dances which were the evening’s entertain ment, I was, I’m sure, the last to leave this room. The quirt there” —he indicated the whip on the ta ble—“interested me. I stopped to examine the carved knob. Someone entered the room at the far end there.” He nodded in that direction. “It was a man—somebody dressed in white, like this man. A servant, I thought; I paid no attention to him. I put the whip down and went out into the hall, thinking to go out by the front door. The rack there with its many hats attracted me.” Dwight paused in his recital; he licked his dry lips and tugged at his collar, which seemed tight about his neck. He went on: “It’s curious the little mental quirks we get. Ever since I first saw Rumble wearing that black felt sombrero I’ve had a curiosity to put the hat on. A woman could under stand that impulse, I suppose. And Rogers’ hand suddenly was flung out to stop me. so I lifted th ^ thing off the rack and tried it on. It was much lighter than I thought for. I took it off after a moment and put it back on the rack. “Now, then,” he summed up, “I saw somebody who could easily have been this man, Pedro, while I was examining the quirt in the living room. Whether or not he followed me to the living room door where he could have seen me trying on Rumble’s hat, I don’t know. I be lieve that he did. So it is easy to see how the man could have been misled.^,He is mistaken in his iden tification.” “Pedro, you have made a mis take,” Lombardo said in Spanish, turning belligerently upon the un happy pulque seller. “No, sir; he is the man—” “We go now,” said Lombardo. “My humble apologies, senoras and senores.” Later on that evening Rogers and I stood on the Street of the High Waves near the Belmar Hotel. Reed Barton had stayed behind at the rancho to talk with Elsa. TTie oth ers had come down town. Margaret and Dwight went out to the yacht saying that the launch would be at the wharf for us whenever we wanted it. “Let’s look about a bit,” Rogers said. “If Rumble is in town he’ll be loafing on the streets or in the bars. It shouldn’t be hard to find him in Mazatlan.” We went once more into the hotel and, not finding him, came out again. We walked to the plaza and around i t The evening throng was beginning to thin out Nowhere was there any sight of the huge black sombrero or gaudy clothes he wore. “He can be around, Hunt," I said, “and still elude us. Mazatlan is a fair-sized little city; there must be many places of conceal—” “Why should he be in hiding?” Rogers demanded. “I don’t mean that he intentionally is avoiding us.” “Yes, I know how you. meant it. But he should be hunting us, Barry, instead. That was a broad insinua tion he made—that he knew some thing of interest to me in the death se a v ic a of Kitty Chatfield. If he meant it, this is the time for him to talk; so why isn’t he trying to find us to tell what he knows?” I had no answer for that. Indeed the more we talked the more hope lessly involved we seemed to be come. Perhaps while we slept our subconscious monitors could sort over the many conflicting factors. I remarked as much to Rogers. “Sleep not only ‘knits up the rav- ell’d sleeve of care’ but also straight ens out many things. It’s a fact,” he commented. “Suppose we see if the launch still waits for us down at the wharf.” We set out to walk the compara tively short distance down the nar row twisting streets. Rogers’ hand suddenly was flung out to stop me. Two figures were idling under a street light a short distance from the end of the wharf; the rays of the light shone^down upon a battered guitar which brown fingers were idly strumming. "Our two mariachis,” I said. They observed our approach and called out to us: “Buenas noches, senores.” Rogers returned their greeting. It was not until then that I realized what had drawn his attention so forcibly to them. We walked up to them and halted. Rogers pointed to the sombrero which Felipe, the larger of tbe two, was wearing. “Que es csto?” he asked. “Es un sombrero, senor,” was the reply. “Yes, I know,” Rogers continued in Spanish, “but whose hat is it?” “It is the hat of the gentleman who wears the fine clothes, senor,” was the astonishing reply. “That’s what I thought,” said Rog ers. “How do you happen Io be wearing it tonight?” “I found it, senor.” “Found it?” “Oh, yes, senor. Come. I will show you the very spot where I find it this morning.” Wonderingly we fell in behind the two boys who plunged into a dark passageway which, as we walked, I discovered was leading us to the water’s edge underneath the wharf. We were stumbling along in the gloom when Rogers took out a tiny pocket flashlight to guide our feet. "What is that?” asked Pancho, the smaller, when the light cast its feeble rays into the darkness. "A flashlight, Pancho,” replied Rogers. “I have never seen one so small, senor,” the boy replied. A few steps farther on and we came out upon the damp sand. Here Felipe asserted was the spot where he had found the black sombrero— the very spot, right on the sand be side this very piling. “Was it in the water, Felipe?” in quired Rogers. “No, sir, on the sand. Tbe tide was out.” “Had it been in the water? Wae it wet?” “Yes, sir; I think it had floated on the water and been left by the tide on the sand.” “H-m-m!” Rogers’ voice was tense. “I should like to have the sombrero, Felipe, to take with me." “Yes, sir.” The boy took it off and gave it to Rogers. ‘TH give you something.” He fumbled in his pocket. "I want nothing, sir; it is not my hat. It is the hat of your friend who wears the fine clothes. I could not find him today to give it back to him.” We walked back up to the end of the wharf where we parted with the pair. Rogers still fumbled in his pocket. Suddenly he held out the little flashlight. "Let me give you this,” he said, “for taking care of the hat.” With an exchange of buenas no ches we separated, the boys lighting their way up the street with the aid of the newly acquired flashlight, and we walking out upon the de serted wharf' to the landing where the launch was waiting for us. We went silently down to the launch. Arturo, loafing in the seats, sprang up to help us. “Are we the last ones to go aboard tonight, Arturo?” Rogers inquired with an effort at cheerfulness. “Yes, sir; all are aboard now, ex cept you two gentlemen. Mr. Nich ols say wait for you, and I wait.” After some moments he stirred the engine into life and then cast off. We moved slowly at first close alongside the wharf, pulling away only a little from the darker shad ows. As we left the w harfs black edge and emerged into the area illumined somewhat by the lights on the wharf above us, the launch struck something in the water and careened slightly. “What was that?” Rogers de manded. “It are perhaps a log, sir,” re plied Arturo nonchalantly. “I hope it is not an alligator, the same being plentiful not far from here.” “It didn’t feel like a log to me,” Rogers retorted, peering over the side into the gloom. Something in his manner filled me with apprehen sion. He held up a shadowy hand to the pilot. “Stop, Arturo; I want to see what that was.” The launch began to lose head way and soon we drifted. “We’ll have to back up a few feet.” The screw reversed and we began to move slowly backward.

Here comes Cupid ready to do tricks to your heart on Valentine’s Day! It’s time for a party with cute Dan Cupid reigning on a mighty throne. February’s a short, short month but with plenty of opportunity for party-giving. You can have a Lin coln’s or Wash ington’s Birthday party, or you can . . . . be extra gay and m /Bi / jo ) colorful with a fha Valentine's par ty. These should be extra popular this year with the pepped - up pace of romance. If anyone in your crowd is about ready for a shower or wed ding you might take the cue from Valentine’s day and make Cupid’s decorations your theme. Pink-and-white or red-and-white are the gay colof schemes and you can carry these out in both food and decorations. A simple but dramatic table picture is seen in the picture in today’s column. Three large, red valentine boxes are set on their side in a row to form the main interest for the table. If you want to enlarge on this, get other pink-and-white or red-and-white decorations such as nosegays of roses and tie with a swirl of ribbon. If you would rather carry this out in flowers, get a nice centerpiece of red-and-white flowers. But have a heart, somewhere along the way. If you have a valentine mold make a valentine cake or jelly mold and work out an arrow with a pastry tube or, if the cake is iced you might even put on an arrow made out of red paper. Here is a luscious salad that takes it easy on rationed foods: *MoIded Raw Cranberry Salad.

To fEie People of -Ihss Community YOU CAN AFFORD IT You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds during this Fourth War Loan Drive. Everyone in this community knows incomes are higher than FSflfRT ev er before— flfcaHar that both workers and farmers hav.e more cash than ever before. . Every one knows that more than one member of hundreds of families are income earners—and everyone knows that increases in wages and salaries have far outstripped rising prices, and increased taxes. You can afford to buy Extra War Bands. As a matter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to Buy Extra War Eonc’s. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increr.si.;g prices . . . if you want to help win the war you can’t af ford NOT to buy v/ar Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the service, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bohds and if you want a gill-edged investment for your own future security, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extaa War Bonds. Don't just dn the expected—buy AU the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. m To Ihe People oi this Community YOV ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a 'Tittle*' investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im- portance In your mind in making up a 5% billion dollar total for individuals. But multiply yourself by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re gained consciousness, asked; "Did I do my best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you de cide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is "your best” will deserve equaUy the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the window of your home., uLeCs Keep Backing the Attack THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KILLED United States Marines paid Rie" Test price in human life per ■n yard for the capture of a, vital Pacific outpost. It was kill or be killed. Your boys did not flinch when they ra n into the deadliest firepower along the beaches of this important Gilbert Island stronghold. This assault, bloody and costly, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. Wfcat are you doing to back up the boys? Remember these are boj’s from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treasury's red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming “We bought Extra War Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a direct fighter against Japan and Germany. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding as sault less costly In the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds in the 4th War Loan if you would help these boys. THE EDITOR. On the beaches of Italy, in the Jungles of the Pacific—planes, tanks, artillery must move—and fast; no waiting to build roads or airfields. That’s when our soldiers must un roll these “steel mattresses,” as you ,see them in this photo.

T here p ap er stories a b o u t m y in ten tio n o f are so many poor souls in the world today that do not know or have any idea what they are missing here on earth as mortals, or the glory that can be theirs ih heaven through our precious Saviour Jesus Christ.” as it is written, eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the hearts of men, those things which God ha*h prepared for them tbat love Him. Not only do we have e- terna! life through our Saviour, but we have jov on earth that surpasseth all understanding As a child of Christ, I can tell you that it’s the Lord's truth. You are probably say ing to yourself, how do I receive such earthlv jo7. and eternal life in the resurrection? Mv dear friends, it’s very simple. A person must be so sorrv for his sins committed a gainst God’s holy will, and we have all sinned and come short of the glo- ty of God. The next step is to ask forgiveness of our sins by believing Jhat we are forgiven, and that Jes- U8 .died for the remission of the sins of all. and that God did raise Him from the dead. "For God so loved the world that he gave his ouly be gotten Son that whos< ever believ- eth should not perish but have ever lasting life.” My brothers and sis ters, if you will onlv do this you will henceforth ’ live a life you never im agined before "Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new crcat- urej all things are passed away, be hold all things are come new.” So m any people try to console them selves w ith th e idea th a t sm all sins don’t cou n t, and th a t God will overlook th em O h! how w ron g they are. I w as talk in g to a frien d of m ine even todav a b o u t his life. H e and m any o th ers I know , say they see no sin in th e th ing s they do. I know it’s because th ey do n ’t w ant to see tb e w orldly evils as sin. I al w ays ask m yself, "W ould Jasu s do this?” A fter only a second, th o u g h t I say no.

Ast yosr ntigkborj D oans Pills A O A Little Sugar, but a Lot of Sweetness (See Becipes Below.) Short on Sngar Requests continue to pour in for sugar-saving recipes. This’leads me to believe th a t there are many who want home- baked goodies in quantity greater than their sugar supply will allow. That means they want recipes that are short on sugar but long on sweetness. Most baked goodies taste _ best when only part of the sugar is re placed by other sweetening agents. Only in plain muffins, bread and rolls is an exception made to this rule. Richer doughs have only one- half to three-fourths of their sugar replaced by corn syrups or honey. It’s best to use only tested recipes for your sugar-savers. You will find the proportion of liquid has been reduced—and if you are trying to change over a recipe you might for get this very important step. Foundation Sweet Dough.

Right now you can use more eggs, pork cuts, citrus fruit, and winter vegetables such as turnips, broccoli, green beans and spinach to perk up I fcyour menus. Be sure to turn in those used fats. Your butcher will pay you for them in both points and pen nies. Use fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible and save your canned foods for quick or emer gency meals. Fdiruary is the birthday month of enriched bread and flour. It was estimated that before the war the per capita consumption of the flour was 6% ounces daily, but it probably is more now be cause bread and flours are carry ing much o f the load of other foods such as meat.

JESVS PRESENTS HIMSELF AS THE MESSIAH LESSON TEXT: Mark 11:1-10, 15-18. GOLDEN TEXT: Again the high priest asked him, and said unto Him, Art thou the Christ, the Son ot the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am.—Mark 14:61, 62. As our Lord entered upon the last Week of His earthly ministry, the time had come for Him to present Himself officially to His people as their Messiah. As He did so, v/e observe that He then had and now has a right to claim all that we have and are, as well as to exercise judg ment over us. I. His Right to Property (w . 1-7). We are so prone to call our pos sessions our own, and to hold them for our selfish purposes. Just a mo ment’s reflection makes us aware that we are but stewards holding our things, as we hold ourselves, for the use of God. That means that the Lord need only send for what we have, and we should gladly yield it to Him. “The Lord hath need” is the only requisi tion we need. He has absolute pri ority. And yet the very fact that He has need of us and what we have, dignifies our service or sacri fice on IBs behalf. How surprising it was that the One who made and upholds all things (Col. 1:16, 17) should have to say, “The Lord hath need of him,” in sending for a humble beast of burden. Yet therein lies a marvelous truth. He has graciously so ordered the universe that He has need of us and of our possessions.- - Let us also learn .the important lesson of unquestioning obedience taught in verse 4. “They went their way” to do what the Lord told them to do. How greatly simplified and glorified would be the lives of Chris tian people if they would thus obey Christ. As He came riding into the city, we observen. His Right to Praise (w . 7-10). God says, “Him that offeroth praise glorifieth me” (Ps. 50:23), and the believer recognizes that “praise is comely for the upright” (Ps. 33:1). Jesus is entirely worthy of the praise of every heart and voice. Presenting Himself as their Mes siah, Jesua received the enthusiastic^ acclaim of His disciples and friends, who were probably joined by others who were drawn by the excitement. The Pharisees did not join in (see Luke 19:39, 40) nor did Uie city, not even !mowing who He was (Matt. 21:10, 11). So it is today; some love and praise Him, some hate Him, others just ignore Him. Of which class are you? He gave Jerusalem and the nation a final opportunity to receive Him. It was not yet too late, but it was their last chance. Such a time comes in the life of everyone of us. They rejected Him. Do we? But even though some did reject, let us not forget that there were those who shouted, “Hosanna,” who cast their garments down before Him and' waved palms of victory and joy. Thank God for their holy enthusiasm. Pray God that we may have a little more of it. ’ III. EUs Right to Punish (w . 15- 18). People like to hear about a God of love, one who knows their weak ness, and is kind toward their in firmities. But we must not forget that God shows His love by a great and holy hatred of sin, and a desire to deliver us from that sin. This means that He must and will deal in drastic fashion with those who persist in their sin. A second time He drove out from His Father’s house those who had made it a place of merchandise, of commercialized thievery. This is a majestic picture. The Son of God and Son of Man steps into the center of this unholy traffic and with mighty, holy indignation (not anger) drives it out. The peo ple who had suffered long because of this religious racket, which paid a nice “cut” to the priests themselves (probably as a “gift” even as such things are managed now), were jubi lant. We read in the same story in Matthew 21:12-22 that the boys who were in the temple (for such is doubtless the meaning of “children” in verse 15) were so delighted at this magnificent exercise of His di vine authority that they broke out into “Hosannas,” which really amounted to a -holy “Hurrah.” Well, why not? Hurrah for our Lord! He will not tolerate iniquity even though it hides under the cloak of religion. He is not afraid to speak out and to act against sin and cor ruption. Possibly the church would reach a good many more men and boys in our day if it would step out in faith to fight the wrong and support the right. Then maybe the young men would shout, “Hurrah for the church.” The chief priests and scribes were afraid and displeased and began to plot against Him. The passage in Matthew indicates that their anger! was aroused both by the acts of Jesus and the praise of the boys.

Just now, as long ago In Yugo slavia, there has been a split among Greek partisans, and Zervas has just broken away from the oldest guerrilla forces to set up his own movement. He calls it the National Andartes band and hopes to keep its members free from the bribery whicb, he says, taints the old group. Allied leaders in the Middle East call Zervas Greece’s ablest guerrilla leader. Before the war he was an officer of the regular army. Now he calls himself “General Zervas” but whether he uses this title on more than his own authority is not clear. He is old enough to have been a general. His present fight against the Nazis is being waged In the northwestern province of Epirus. This is his home and his birth place. He knows every dim trail over its wild mountains as Alvin York knows his Tennessee hills. Every tree, every rock is a friendly shield, and every small village a fortress' with a hundred sally-ports out of which to attack o r. . . when the enemy presses hard . . . escape to fight again when th e odds have evened.

This comer enjoys a bit of boogie woogie but still it thinks that the conductor of the New York Phiiharmonic should not go unde fended. Certainly he has courage. The smoke caused by his quarrel with dismissed New York musicians has just stopped getting in his eyes, and now he takes on the embattled ’teen agers. The man positively enjoys squaring off for a fight. Of course age doesn’t have to w«irry him yet.. He was born In Spalato, Dalmatia, only 50 years ago. And if he needs legal aid in his squabbles, it’s right in his own head . . . or ought to be. To please bis father he got a law degree at the Dniversity of Vienna as well as a doctorate at the Vienna Academy of Mu sic. He began as conductor of the chorus at Lwow; he went on to Warsaw; came to the D. S. at Stokowski’s invitation to be assistant director of the Philadel phia orchestra. This was in 1926. He isn’t the long hair that Sinatra calls him although he has an ample pompadour. He has a tall virile fig ure, nearsighted lively eyes, and a quick likeable grin. His manner on ! tile podium is matter-of-fact but he has plenty of temperament, as all know who listen in Carnegie Hall and over the revealing air waves.

But as a reward for a high score in gunnery tests, all members of a company at Camp Campbell, Ky., were treated thus. Sergt. Charles Micktick partake*. (WNU Featute—Through special anaagemeat with Cottiefa Weekly) I was on the bridge of a Pacific fleet aircraft carrier. Suddenly, straight as an arrow, a Jap torpedo plane came on less than 40 feet above the water and headed directly for our starboard bow. Through the sights, it looked to the gunners on this maiden flat-top, about to be un der fire for the first time, like one of those wooden miniatures they had learned to identify in shipboard lec tures as a Mitsubishi 97 single-engine low-wing job. But this was no model. Its size doubled every second until yon could even see the idiot plainly. On it came, unhesitating, malevolent, into a stippled wall of steel burled at its nose from 5-ineh cannon, 20- and 40-miii. machine guns. The sleek torpedo pendant from its belly seemed as big as the Hudson tun nel, hanging there poised .for its plunge into the ship’s vitals. The onrushing plane was less than two hundred yards from the ship. Now was the time for its torpedo to be launched. Fate and the carrier’s gunners willed otherwise. A direct hit caught the steel tube of death before it could be released, and its shattering explosion sent plane and crew hurtling across the carrier’s bow to oblivion in the sea almost under the big ship’s forefoot. As Carrier X plowed right through the blazing debris, the mechs on our hangar deck, spying two of the plane’s crew floating along in their mushroom-shaped life jackets, hurled curses and wrenches at them. Two More Mitsubishis Downed. A half-minute later another tor pedo plane came skimming at us from the starboard quarter. Our gun ners swung their mounts around sharply, opened fire and caught it squarely in midair before it could latmch its fish. A puff of black smoke, a burst of orange flame and the Mitsubishi crashed into the sea. The third plane in the attacking team made its run .right on schedule in just another 30 seconds. This one was aimed directly abeam of our starboard side. Our gunners con nected again. The blast of their shells tore the left wing apart, and the plane lurched to one side as it dropped its fish. The Jap pilot at tempted to pull out of his spin, but his plane was beyond eontrol and plunged into the water. The torpedo, meanwhile, streaked on past the car rier’s stem, missing it by an un comfortable margin. “Whee I Three runs, no hits, three errors.” A baseball fan standing at a microphone of Carrier X an nounced the score. Three more torpedo planes, using the same tactics, tried another at tack on our task force half an hour later. This time they selected as their target one-of our sister car riers zigzagging along a few miles to port of Carrier X. They had no better luck. The guns on every ship in the vicinity concentrated on them until each in turn was shot down be fore it could do any damage. For a while, we thought Carrier Y was in danger, when one of the planes ex ploding in the air appeared to be heading for a crash landing on her flight deck. However, it dived into the water on her port side, and the flaming wreckage drifted astern. Revenge Attacks. Both of these attacks on us, made shortly after noon, were' inspired by revenge. That morning we had tweaked the Sun. Emperor’s royal nose. Our task force had sent its planes in—hundreds of them—to pay a visit at Kwajalein, a Japanese stronghold in the western Marshall Islands. That visit hadn’t done the Japs any good, for it messed up some of their cruisers and other ships in Kwaja lein harbor, destroyed a sizable amount of the Imperial air force and disrupted things in general. So fling ing those suicide torpedo planes at us was just an example of blind fury, and we suspected there would be more of them tossed at us through out that day and night. Apparently what made the Japs particularly resentful was the fact that our task force had penetrated deep into an area they had believed to be impenetrable by an enemy sur face force. Steam Fast Jap Bases. To get within bombing range of Kwajalein, our carriers and escort ships had to steam for most of 24 hours through passages between is lands the Japs had been using for months as air bases and military outposts. Rear Admiral “Baldy” Pownall thumbed his nose at Wotje and Maloelap as he guided his task force past these Jap island air bases to reach his objective. It was a bold maneuver and one the Japs knew nothing about until the first bombs and. torpedoes struck Kwajalein.
