The last day that she had to see
Thorne could not come too soon
She was afraid of him. Afraid
that he would make an overt ges-
ture, and she would not know how
to handle him.
Dix captured her hand. Her
other stroked his hair. What are
the questions and answers" he
asked.
I linda was glad that he asked
IL that. Tt made it easier for
her to begin. Nonetheless, she
wondered if her voice was as bright
and gay as she meant it to be when
she answered.
I'll ask the questions, and YOU
supply the answers. Do you love
me?"
Certainly. Next?"
do you think you always will?"
Dix laughed. Don't you read
the movie titles, woman? Don't
you know that no one knows the
answer to how long he will love?"
How much do you love me?"
Linda persisted.
Linda, you sound like char
acter out of children's hook. Am

high or something like that? Or
would you like me to fall on one
knee, seize your hand in mine and
lay my heart and hand at your

Dix wanted to marry her! Days

Romance was rampant in Holly

could do to keep her secret to her
self. She wanted to tell the world
that she was Dix Carriers chosen
bride. Instead she listened and
lived for the moment when she
might make her proud pronounce

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

THE things Linda couldn't tnlnk
of to say to Pete Gardiner she
remembered when she was dress
ing for Dix that night. Brushing
her hair with swift, angry strokes,
she finished Pete forever and found
her eyes sparkling and her cheeks
| flushed.
Dressed in scarlet satin pajamas,
she marched up and down the small
area of her living room, dartlng
quick glances at the clock until she
laughed in pure amusement. She
had been going to vent her anger
on Dix!
Dix had always the power to
change her mood. She couldn't be
sad or angry when she was with
him. She couldn't be independent
or herself.
1t was disquieting to think she
couldn't be herself, that she was
always playing being gay, happy,
helpful. Thinking again of Pete's
words, her anger rose in Dixs de-
Tense. 1t wasn't because Dix was
weak. it was only that Dix was
some one to live up to.
She felt the strain of the situa-
tion-strain that is almost unavoid-
able when courtship is delicately
balanced on the wires of two carers.
Courtship was an old-fashioned
idea, Linda thought, and wondered
what new word there was for it.
Courtship was a lovely word for
never to-be repeated days before
marriage. Pete had given her a
sort of courtship, but she hadn't
loved Pete, and it took the tender
contemplation of love to make it
precious.
NTAITING for Dix, Linda found
w herself thinking of marriage.
That she was going to marry Dix,
she did not doubt He had once
asked her to wait for him. Waiting
for what? Then he had come back
and told her that he loved her.
When a man loved a woman ne
wanted to marry her, didn't he?
Linda wondered, and suddenly she
mad to know. She could not 60 on
for years waiting for Dix, knowing
that the day would come when she
would begin to dread losing him the
day when she would hear that he
had been ont with another girl and
she would lose her head and give her
heart over to torture.
Linda had never experienced that
feeling, but she was woman enough
to anticipate it with all its devastat-
ing pain. When that day came, she
would go away and never see him
again.
Il TOOK Linda less than minute
to go to pieces, thinking of it. When
Dix arrived he found her hands
cold, her eyes dark and Swallowed.
whats the matter with my little
girl?" he asked, folding her in his
arms.
r linda didn't try to be gay. Her
IL eyes searched his face, expect
ing to find she knew not what. 1t
was the same face with the same
laughing eyes, the same easy smile,
the same impatient eyebrows.
She laughed nervously. I'm
tired, darling, and in laxative
mood. I want to play Questions
and Answers. Would you like to?"
Anything you want to do is
always all right with me-" he an
swered, dropping to the sofa.

The government Is making every

days Of the revolution 1t was necessary

Many Of these young men and
women-for there are Communist

dazed from shell shock.
Some Of them refuse food and
drink when they are brought back
to the hospital. Some have their
ear drums burst by the conclusion of
exploding shells. They wander about
aimlessly.
In the little Escorial Cemetery,
where four are usually buried in the
same small grave, there Is q steady
procession of mothers. daughters,
wives and sweethearts waiting to
identify their dead as the civil wars
victims are brought out.
Bodies must be buried quickly. In q
small morgue are laid the dead for =
few hours before burial to give time
either for Identification or for friends
and relatives to gather.
The town grave digger has worked
with little sleep since the war began,
nearly four weeks ago. Most OF the
dead are sent to Madrid but those who
are unidentified, usually the volun-
teers who joined hastily at the first
call, are buried in the little village
near a monastery. where are entombed
the Kings and Queens Of Spain and
where there is crypt ready for ex-
lied Alphonso XIII.
Mass tragedy apparently has not
shaken the morale of those behind the
lines waiting to take their place at
the front. They give no sign the
ghastly spectacles have weakened their
courage or their desire for action.

by the records of the Weather Bu-

tinuously in all parts Of the United

Dunn Fireman
Has Ingenuity

Dunn-Members Of the Dunn
fire department are resourceful
lot, especially Assistant Chief Otis
Warren who believes in that ''Veni,
Vidi, Vicir business like Caesar
did.
Recently the department an
nounced an alarm taking them to
house some 500 yards distant
from the nearest fire hydrant. The
blaze was too much for the chemi-
cal engine and to stretch hose
that distance would take too much
time-the house would burn down.
Near the house was a ditch with
running water. Warren had the
ditch damned up then a drain cut
from the house back to the ditch
and a suction hose thrown in. The
pumping engine was started up and
soon the fire was extinguished.
The arrangement made it possible
to use the water over and over
again since as fast as the engine
played it on the house it drained
back into the damned up ditch
and was used again.

TALKING ABOUT THE
WEATHER

There may have been longer
periods of severe cold weather than
we have had over most of the Unit
ed States this Winter, but few peo-
pie can remember them, and the
weather Bureau confirms the be-
lief that, taken by and large, this
has been the worst season in many
years. There have been lower tenn
pratures, but seldom such prolong-
ed cold spells and such succession
of cold waves.
The amateur weather prophets
and the long-range forecasters are
putting forward the usual variety
of explanations which don't explain
and predictions which are more
likely to be wrong than right. A
favorite explanation for unusual
weather conditions is that sun spots
have something to do with them.
But the theory that the 11-year
cycle of sun spots affects terrestrial
weather, whether favorably or un-

RUBBER itself
Back in 1911 I met a great Ger
man scientist, DR.. Duisberg, who
showed me set of tires he had
made for the Kaiser's car, from
artificial rubber of his own inven-
ton. I asked him how he did it.
''It's perfectly SIMPLE he replied,
''It's done by the polymerization of
isoprene. Which left me right
where I was at the start.
Since then thousands of one2s
have tried to make rubber syn
thetically. Some have got better
results than Others, but nobody yet
has produced a rubber substitute
that answers all the purposes of
natural rubber and costs no more.
An American company has pro-
duced something that works, but it
is too expensive for ordinary use.
The latest report from Germany is
that a synthetic rubber superior to
the natural article is being made
from petroleum. That is doubted
by practical rubber men.
Some day, however, somebody
will turn the trick.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

"A free press stands as one of the
great interpreters between the Gov
ernment and the people. To allow
it to be fettred is to fetter our
selves"
That is the language used by
Justice Sutherland of the Supreme
Court of the United States in deliv-
ering the unanimous opinion of the
Court that the tax on newspaper
advertising, which the State of
Louisiana had undertaken to inn
pose as unconstitutional. This de-
cision is the latest of long series
of rulings by the High Court up
holding the specific provision of the
Constitution guaranteeing freedom
Of speech and of the press.
From the time when the frs,
Pringting press was set up there has
been an almost constant fight for
the right to print and publish with
out control by authority. Some
times it has been the authority of
the church which has attempted to
curb the press; sometimes the au-
thority of government. In the
long run, so far as the English
speaking world is concerned, the
press has eventually won every bat
tie. That is not true in most of
the rest of the world. Outside of
the United States, the British
Commonwealth of Nations and the
Republic of France, there is no i'm
portant country in the world in
which newspapers are free to report
the acts of public officials and
comment upon public questions.
The first step that a dictator
takes to make secure the power
which he has seized is to suppress
and curb the newspapers. So long
as the newspapers of a nation re-
main free from political control in
any form, Democracy is in little
danger. Whenever government
or a public official attempts to sup
press OF influence the opinions of a
newspaper, that is danger signal
not likely to be disregarded.
