Urging active resistance to Fascism and deprecating the power of the League of Nations to control world affairs, George Slocombe, British journalist, predicted European crisis in an address last night before the Beth-El Mems club at Beth-El auditorium. He foresaw the democ- racies, principally England and France, joining against the dictator ships, Germany and Italy.
 War may come even sooner than the limit he mentioned. the speaker suggested, but he is of the opinion that both sides will attempt to de- lay the matter until England and France have increased armaments, until Germany and Italy have en- larged their stores of raw materials.

CHAPTER Is

THE SILENCE was broken Dy
a movement from Sergeant Beef
after DR.. Thurston had said he
would give us some Of the family
history. Rather tactlessly. I
thought, at this point Beef pulled
open his notebook and made pom
derous preparations to write in 1t.
MY wife had been married be-
fore" said Thurston, and I started.
"I will tell you the story, so far
as I know it. She was the only
daughter of a Worcestershire
parson." His voice stumbled, but
he went on. ST never knew her
parents, but I gather that they
were very Woodworking, rather
severe people, devoted to their
daughter. She was brought up
in a manner which even in those
pre-war days would have been
considered strait-laced. But she
was quite happy. though that may
seem strange to the present gen
Grafton. She worked. as her
mother did. in the parish. and
learned then, perhaps, to practice
the unselfshness which was hers
by nature. Indeed, who could
imagine her anywhere as being
anything but happy and IN
selfish ?"
There was a tense but sympa-
thetic silence. At last DR.. Thur
ston went on. "a visitor to the
parsonage was a rich local land
owner, a man very much her SEN
Tor, who had made a fortune in
Birmingham and had recently re-
tired to a Worcestershire manor
He had lost his wife some years
previously, and after he had met
Mary a number of times HEN
the old-fashioned way-sought
permission of her father to ask
Mary to marry him. The parson
consented, but his wife raised one
objection before the matter was
mentioned to Mary. For this
man, in his late middle age
seemed in every way desirable
husband, except for the fact that
he had a SON."
"Oh my Lord!" whispered Lore
Simon Plimso1l.
MARY had never seen this son
and to the best of my knowledge
never did see him. The boy haC

self-or at least so her first hus-
band said. He did not live with
his father in Worcestershire, and
it was understood that he was
abroad-though whether he was 8
mere lad sent on a training ship
or a grown man in the colonies,
do not know. Only his very
existence rather perturbed Mary's
parents, which is perhaps why she
heard even so much Of him as she
did. Suppose he should return
and cause trouble between Mary
and her husband? Suppose he
should fall in love with Mary ?
You must imagine that her par
ents were simple people whose
ideas on such matters were drawn
largely from the sentimental
novels of the day.
AT all events the difficulty was
talked ever, and dismissed. You
will gather some Of the selfish
ness and unconscious brutality OF
such, arrangements in those days

tween Mary's parents and hel

1907 SAFETY
PERFORMANCE

The Station Department of the Del
marva Division, The Pennsylvania
Railroad, maintained a 100 per cent
safety performance during the year
1887, and was ranked first in Group
"B" nthe statement showing CASUAL
ties per million manhours during the
Presidents Safety Contest-1937, thus
winning the much coveted Presidents
Safety Certificate.
Mr.. Fred Thompson, Supervising
Agent of the Delmarva Division, re-
ceived strong commentator for the
personnel of his department, on ac-
count of this remarkable record, from
Superintendent of Safety T. H. Car
row, Philadelphia, Pa, under date of
February 22nd, whose comments were
as follows
81 heartily congratulate you, the
agents, supervisory forces and en-
ployes of the Delmarva Division for
making perfect safety record in 1887
and winning the Presidents Safety
Certificate among Divisions in Group
OBJ, Station Department.
81 incerely hope that you may be
able to continue the good work during
the present year."
In commenting on this outstanding
performance, Mr.. Thompson stated
that such a record could only be
achieved through the coordinated eff
forts of all officers and employees in
his department., and he felt certain
that the frequent "Safety Talks" CIV
en- at various employee and agency
meetings had to a large extent made
railroad employees "Safety Conscious"
and willing to cooperate toward win
ming this trophy and creating record
which was an honor to all employees on
the peninsula. Also, that he was per-
sonally commencing every employee in
his department for this remarkable
evidence of real morale.

Free cold lunches for $500 hun

sters were to make life around the
various Fairgrounds better than
ever again today. The program,
inaugurated yesterday, will con-

The meal consists of sandwiches,

funds supplied by Congress. Red
tape prevented the lunch pro-

gagged in the WPA project had to
wait for the Presidents approval

Children who are benefited by
the lunches are certified as "neces-

gram.
