One of the basic principles OF
the Veterans of Foreign Wars OF
the United States and ones of the
first reasons for our existence is
the spirit Of comradeship.
The v. F. w. is composed of men
who have served under the Amer
lean flag on foreign soil or in hos
tile waters. There Is peculiar
and very strong bond Of fellow
ship between our members-a
bond that was born amidst the
nardships and experiences they
have shared, and the dangers they
have survived together.
Members of the v. F. w. in
every state of the union, in the
Canal Zone, in the Philippines and
in France have borne arms in the
service of the United States. Our
members come from the army, the
navy and marine corps.

COmptOmeter
In New Quarters

- A new and inviting field Of
employment for young women
seeking good paying clerical po-
Sitions has been opened up by
the comptometer.
The Washington Comptome-
ter School, George L. Lane, di-
rector, was established several
vars ago to supply the buyers Of
the comptometer with trained
operators, and the demand was
so great that this school has
been forced to seek larger quar-
tiers. The present location, 239
MunSey Building, is ideal for
the purpose of preparing the
student for actual employment
in Government and business
circles.
If the comptometer were an
adding machine and nothing
more-if its use were confined
TO adding only-there would
then not be much need of special
instructions. It is, on the con-
trary, claimed that precisely be-
cause the machine has such a
wide range of practical utility
on all figure work of accounting
that trained operators are in de-
mand.
Twenty years ago compton,
eter operation was not thought
of as vocation.

happened. Pete. I've got to work late. There's
a party of students come back to town to ceie-
brate New Year and they've ordered big
midnight supper"
We'll maybe you can get away right after
midnight"
"Yes-I think maybe can"
-Then I'll be waiting for you out in front"
So at a quarter to IL he locked up, took the
extra pair of boots under his arm and Sauntered
over toward the Golden Grain Cafe.
THE eating establishment was a blaze OF
lights against the darkened main street.
Pete struck out for the yellow glare, wondering
what students would want to return to spend
New Year eve in Warwickton. Through the
glass-curtained door he could distinguish no
figures inside and guessed that the supper party
in the back dining room of the Golden
Grain.
Perhaps Nadine was finished and waiting in
side. AS he opened the door the gay voices OF
the diners swept toward him. He heard some
one shout Lets toast the New Year!"
Good idea. Put Betty on the table and let's
hear her propose one!"
Even before Pete realized that the voice was
Bill Jensen's, even before it came to him that he
had heard Betty's laugh, he saw her lifted to the
table. She wore pale blue evening dress and
pale blue slippers and she was, as always un-
believably lovely.
But all Pete could think was that she had
come back to warwickton to celebrate the New
Year. perhaps in gsyer fashion than parental
surveillance would allow-and that she hadn't
thought to include him. Except for the ap-
pointment with Nadine, he might never have
known about it at all.
Something snapped inside Pete and he stalked
into the midst of the startled party All he
could see was the gittering little pin on the
pale blue evening gown. He reached up toward
it. tore 1t away neatly and quickly that 1t left
the tnest rent.
81 just happened to think" he said half aloud.
"I might need this"
When he went out into the larger room again
Nadine was waiting for him.
They walked in silence from the Golden
Grain Cafe, the two pairs of boots making a
crunching sound on the snow. Suddenly Pete
stopped and looked at Nadine. 1--WE were
going to try to think of something to do to well
come the new year" he said. 1--WE just thought
OF it,
He reached out and took her in his arms and
kissed her hard. The church bells of Warwick
ton began to ring, perhaps prophetically. per-
haps not. and the little jeweled Delt pin nestled
free in Pete's pocket.

motored over to Acme to see the foot ball game.
Getting into Bills all right and SO was
