Philip home. It seemed a r'ty her uncle couldn't try to und stand him. After ali, there was no need for all this fussing about Philip getting down to work. Why should he work? There was plenty of money
 Her uncle suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Were you sur prised to hear of Bob's getting himself engaged?" he asked.
 SybiPs face, even in the fire light, paled. She put her glass down carefully, lest her shaking fingers bertay her.
 q was very much surprised, of course" she replied, with exag- gerated indifference.
 Hendry smiled. "To tell the truth" he said, T was surprised myself. For while it seemed as if this was one deal Bob couldn't put over"
 Sybil smiled, trifle disdain- fully. You men are so naive, Uncle John," she murmured. Tt seems to me that Miss Barrett has played her cards quite clev- erly. She's doing very well for herself, don't you think?"
 of course she is. I'd say Bob Andrews is just about the most eligible young man in the city But aside from that, he's getting 8 fine girl in Joan"
 Perhaps" Sybil's lip curled. Some people might think that he could have done much bet ter"
 What do you mean? Joan Bar rett's a beautiful girl--intelligent, charming, sensible. What more could a man want?"
 Background, suppose. Fam fly tradition those things are important, Uncle John, even though you consistently overlook them. What does Bob know about this girl? What do you know of her, for that matter?"
 He sat up in surprise. "What do I know of her!" Why, bless my soul hasn't she been working for me, right in my own office, every oay for the past two years?"
 He was a little annoyed at Sy- bils attitude. He might have told her how Joan Barrett had startled him that first day she stepped into the office, looking for all the world like his Nancy had, so many years before. The same blue eyes, clear and honest, with just a touch or sadness in her depths. The same golden curls. The same warm smile. She might have been Nancys own daughter. His daugh- ter, for that matter. And SyDli dared prattle about background! Fiddlesticks!
 "You know that she's an eff cient stenographer," Sybil per- sisted maliciously. But what can YOU learn about a girls private life from that? What was she be- fore she came to your offices? Hendry frowned. "She worked in Chicago, for Ward & Cleaver, one of the biggest bond houses ID ! the country" He finished hls sherry with a gulp, sat back ID his chair.
 sybil pursued the subject no further, but she smiled with 1n- ward satisfaction. Ward & Cleav- CT. That was definite starting point. Shed write to Bill Harris in Chicago. He knew every bona house in the city. He could ma out anything she needed to know. Better still, she might send Phlnp to Chicago.

just now.
She has run afoul of the police and is
charged with non -concealment.
The famous statue stands in one Of
Tokio's favorite restaurants. Since this is
wartime, the police argued, public morals
must be protected, so that the people can

n YEw YoRK.-Women will have their
M roles to play in air warfare, that
new and terrifying technique of de-
struction born in the walls of mod
ern science, when the next war comes.
Some American women are preparing
for it.
These roles would be secondary, or even
minor, but the legendary keepers of the
home fires are facing realistically the pos
sibility of helping cope with death rained
from the skies.
Wars cannot be won by warplanes alone.
Their failure to crack defense lines in
China and Spain has proved that.
But wars cannot be won without war
planes, military men agree, because the
flying machine has become a spy, director
OF artillery fire, wrecker Of communication
lines and destroyer of supply dumps.
The next war; if 1t comes, will have its
phase of aerial fighting brought into far
more prominence than it had during the
World War or, for that matter, in either
China or Spain. No two world powers,
armed to the teeth with pursuit, attack, OBJ
servation and bombing planes, have come
to grips since the armistice of Novem-
Der, 1918.

That the President and Secretary Hull do

O'Daniel Cool to New Deal.
While Mr.. ODaniels victory may be at
tributed principally to this feeling among
the voters he did have three proposals in
his platform that received favorable con-
sideration. One was to pay the maximum
pension-$30 a month-to every person
over IS years of age, regardless of whether
such person was in dire need. Another
plank called for the industrialization of
Texas through establishment Of industries
in every town or community to utilize the
products Of that community. Mr.. ODaniel
has said that he will create unofficial
boards or committees in every community
to study the Industrial needs and possibili-
ties and to recommend action necessary
to bring into these communities the in
dustries needed. Mr.. ODaniel has prom
ised, in addition, whatever legislation or
State assistance is needed to get these in
dustries.
While the Governor-nominate has not
made any public statement of his attitude
toward the national administration or fthe
New Deal it Is known definitely that he
and his advisers are not in line with many

Shortly after Mussolini came to Berlin
in September. 1887, a member of the Italian
Embassy staff said to the writer. In q jok-
ing, bantering way:
We've trained our doorkeeper to size up
callers-whether they are coming for a
decoration or on business If he thinks
they merely want decoration, he simply
hands them one. Then they don't take
up our time"
Before Stoyadinovitch arrived In Berlin
for his official visit last January a secretary
OF the Yugoslav Legation remarked to the
writer. with a sigh:
I never dreamed had so many Nazi
friends. But ever since our Premier's visit
has been announced, they come to remind
me what good pals We are. And invariably
they end up by limiting that they are en-
titled to consideration when 1t comes to
awarding decorations"
Badge Is Last Resort.
If you haven't decoration, at least you
feel you ought to wear badge. So many
Germans sport their badge of the most re-
cent event, such as the national athletic
meet at Breslau, or of the day of art at
Munich, and especially of the last Nazi
Party Convention at Nurnberg which they
may chance to have attended. 1t goes
without saying that the Nazi party men,
Der is proud to wear his party button.
The most coveted decoration is that for
military valor. The martial ideal Is the
highest the Nazi conceives. Hence, even
with ordinary clothes, the holder Of an Iron
Cross will wear little black-and- white bar
in the lapel of his coat.
One of the pathetic sights in Germany
is that of thousands Of Jews wearing this
badge of military valor TO show that they
risked their lives for the fatherland that
now treats them as pariahs.
During the recent Jewish store boycott
the writer saw one Jewish shopkeeper stand
ing in the entrance to his little emporium
with his breast fairly covered with decora-
tions he won both for military and civic
achievements.
He said nothing-just stood there.
