 Where was she?"
 Down at Papkes drug store. " Al the time? Who was she with?"
 "The crowd there. Tommy Withers and the gang that l.angs out in Papke's."
 He grunted and said no more. Terry was gone. Che had re- turned home simply to go to bed, and the Murrays had sent the kid brother along with her to alibi her for the absence.
 A couple of nights later, as he lighted his after-supper cigaret at the table, Joe asked generally, Terry been around?"
 It seemed she hae not been in since that other night.
 Irene, Joe said, you tell her to keep away from Tommy With ers."
 "Why?" said Irene.
 Because I'm telling you"
 Irene looked at him. Have you talked to Withers?'
 T have" said Joe. He met his sisters gaze, and his blue eyes were hintlike. T clipped him one too. He thinks he can get fresh. So l clip ped him one. I don't want to do it again, see?"
 Guided by past experience, Irenes glance dropped quickly to Joe's hands. The knuckles of the right hand were crowned with small, bright red spots where the skin was crushed.
 You mean" sch said, "he thinks he can get fresh with Terry?" Joe showed back his chair and his tone commanded them all. T mean she keeps clear of Tommy Withers in the future and I'll clip her one where she won't like i it either if she don't! Get that? See that she understands it!"
 He went dour and hard looking out of the room.

right home, please. I hope she doesn't impose on you. She IS a bit of worry"
 She's no trouble here" Mrs. Murray said abruptly. She's dear sweet child. I suppose she is a worry to you"
 Something in the calm, cutting edge of that pierced even his skin. The laugh came again, little un- comfortably, and he made his way out.
 . And Mrs. Murray frowned after him and shook her head and won- dered. -M
 The next afternoon Terry accom- panied Irene home from the mill. Terry was quieter than ever they had seen her, but Irene was brusque and grim. Joe, when he came in, found the kitchen door shut on him. The two girls and Mrs. Murray were in there. He could hear his moth . and sister talking, and somebot.' was sobbing. The old man growled at him to keep away, and puzzled, he kept away.
 Terry stayed for supper. He looked at her closely as she came to the table, and she was gay in an extra ordinary way. It was an artificial kind of gaity, but very cheering just the same. It was a pleasant meal
 Afterward, when he had read through the paper and the women had about all cleaned up, Joe strolled into the kitchen where the three of them were again, talking women's matters. He looked at them silently minute, and then said sharply, Whats up? What's wrong? Let me in on it."
 Irene and her mother exchanged a quick glance. Terry looked sort of blank, like the shell of crea- ture that has retreated out of sight. Irene battled temptation, and then abruptly jerked the edge of Terry's dress away from her shoulder
 There was a broad blotched welt BOlIlB QOWn unOeT the QTeSS, OOWn her back, the mark of heavy leather strap. -.i
 Joe swore softly. His face was quiet and hard.
 The surprising thing was how Terry took that unexpected exposure of her shoulder. She spat like cat, fiercely, and she struck Irene'S hand away and snatched the dress into place again and sort of retreated away from them, and she stood there angry and very difiant, looking at Joe with her big eyes. No one knew what to say. Joe grunted and said nothing. He turned and walked out of the room.
 He did not see Terry again that night. But Irene told him later, "She was sore as she could be that I showed you her shoulder Her old man gave her that. She was out last night and she lied

THE "Iron Horse" puffed its Il way across the full expanse of the United States for the first time in 1869. That was when the Union Pacific, building westward from the Missouri river at Oma- ha, met the Central Pacific, stretching eastward from San Francisco.
 The Central Pacific began work in 1864, the Union Pacific the next year. No more daring project was ever achieved than the Union Pacific line, in the face of Indian raids. prairie storms, mountain barriers. But with its completion the general outline of the railway system of the United States was formulated. Other great transcontinental lines soon followed.
 So the railroad building era of America stretched largely from 1860 to 1910. In 1860 the total mileage was 30,283. By 1890 it was l63,597. In 1910 it stood at 24o,439. Emblem of this era is the 3-cent locomotive stamp of the U. 5. series of 1869, ultrama- rine blue, reproduced below slightly more than one and one- half times actual size.

GERMAN ARMY SHAKE-UP PUTS
GOERING RIGHT in SPOTLIGHT

climaxing in the highest German
military honor available, testify
to his daring as war ace. And
when the famous Baron Won Rich
thofen fell, Goering succeeded
him as head of the RichthOfen
squadron
Has Hold On Army
Loyal though Goering is to Hit
Ter and the Nazi movement. he
has not shown the narrowneSS OF
other leading Nazis in making ap-
pointmentS to office. His ideal is
to train an efficient corps of civil
servants, and he has not hesitat-
ed to take men not identified
with the Nazi movement to &C
complish this purpose
Similarly, Goering did not hest
tate TO keep Leo Blech for four
years to head the panel of con-
ductors at the state opera in Ber-
lin, although Leo Blech is a Jew.
I determine who is TO be rated
as Jew. Goering is reported to
have said when some dogmatic
party member tried to call him
to account
Goering's position as second
man in the Reich is further rem
dered secure by his hold upon the
army. The army and the navy
recognize that the modern air
force is Goering's own creation.
They also respect him for his war
record.
DisIikes Cities
Goering has made hunting a
popular sport in Germany. 1t
serves him politically, too. AT his
unofficial" hunting parties,
craftsmanship often has its in
ming.
The big city bores him. During
the spring and fall, he governs
from the PruSSian state hunting
lodge about 25 miles from Berlin.
He spends most of the summer at
his Bavarian mountain home not
far from Hitler's ''Berghof''.
.Characteristically he jumped
vigorously into the task of max
ing Germany as self-sufficient
economically as possible within
four years.
Under his direction, Germany
has started on the most gigantic
scale of economy on raw mate
rails that any nation ever has I'M
dertaken in peace times.

Administration officials have hailed
this major victory in the enforce

truth. a major victory for the forces
of confusion and Inconsistency. The
alleged offenses of the oil men were
committed in 1885 when the petro-
leum industry was being regulated
by an NRA code and IN 1885 when
the administration was striving 70 Sc
cure q voluntary maintenance Of NRA
standards in business and industry.
The defendants were found guilty
in spite of the fact that they con-
tended that they had merely acted in
accordance with the NRA code for
the petroleum industry and that they
had complied with the wishes OF Sec
rotary of the Interior ickes who was
Petroleum Administrator. There can
be no questioning of the fact that the
National Industrial Recovery Act OF
1888 specifically suspended the anti
trust laws in favor of code agree
ments. Nor can there be any doubt
that the Petroleum Code permitted
price fixing. That this price fixing
was for the purpose OF raising prices
and stabilizing the oil industry was
fully understood in Washington That
il was approved by Administrator
iekes has been amply demonstrated
by published correspondence.
