through the open French windows,
out across the piazza and down the
steps into the garden.
Florian leaned above her with one
elbow resting on the bough of the
tree. She saw him smile as he lift
ed a lock of her hair and pretended
to peer at the moon through its
mesh.
'Mr. Parr," she said, with mock
severity, ST must remind you that
I am hostess this evening-and must

"You might also add that we met
for the first time not more than an
hour ago." he said.
''I do"
'But it has been an unforgettable
hour" he responded.
Another couple strolled by in the
moonlight.
"Look here" Florian said sudden

way to the brilliantly lighted house.
The music foated out to them
when they mounted the steps to the

her arm.

away on the rhythm of the waltz
that was being played.
The piazza was in darkness, away
from the moon, and as they waltzed
to the farther end of it, they found
themselves alone. There Florian

her hair with his lips.

swift sensation of being deliciously
drugged. Then, for some unaccount-
able reason, she thought of her
mother, Millicent, whom she could
recall only as dream, and of that
other Odell woman, known only as
a myth, the woman who had been
her grandmother. She thought then
of men in England and men on the
Continent, whom she had played
with until they merely bored her.
One especially she remembered-a

MANNED in the war. The Odell

MIMIC W AR GAME Is ON DURING WEEK
Regular Army Men, Nd- tionaI Guardian en
 Will Stage Battle
(By Associated Press)

The Army's best minds have spot ted positions for 50,000 men ill up- state New York and nearly 25,00O more around Washington, D. O., In the defense of the east against imaginary invaders swarm n g around the country after coming in from the Atlantic.
 Twelve thousan National Guardsmen from 13 states arrived in Plattsburgh, N, Y, Sunday, to join regular army men already sta- toned in the Lake Champaign area. Others are due today and Tuesday to complete the lines for defense.
 Meanwhile a modern army of the Potomac, will move to vulnerable points around Washington, D. c. The war will then be on and several thousand men will be detailed to form an imaginary attacking army.
 The attackers will be given a handicap by assuming that they have already landed and swept across New England Their main ob- jective will be to dislodge the de- lending army at Lake Champlain and prepare for march southward.
 Attacks on Washington will be in the nature of attempts to draw troops up from the New York de- lenses.
 This weeks mimic battles will con- sist primarily of skirmishes and the zero hour will not come until noon of August 9.

SIX AMERICANS ARE
 AMONG LISTED DEAD
Pilot with Million Mile Record Is Victim with
 Three CreWmen

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. IA Fourteen persons, including Prof. James Rogers, noted Yale economist, and five other Americans were kill ed Sunday when Pan American clipper crashed in Rio de Janerio harbor.
 Pilot A. G. Person a 1000, ,000-mile veteran, and three other American crew men were killed.
 The plane had just completed a flight from Trinidad and the crash occurred when landing at the Rio seaplane base.
 Eleven bodies have been recovered and removed from the wreckage and taken to the morgue. Divers and surface workers with grappling irons are seeking the bodies of other victims.
 The twisted wreckage of the clip per has been lowed to the Rio air port where Brazilian officials and Pan American representative have begun to search for clues as to the cause of the accident One rescue worker said some bodies fell on the dock with one mo- tor and were burned. Another said the faces of the pas sengers in the cabin failed to show signs of pain or anguish which signs would have been evident if they had drowned.
 Pan American officials said the last message failed to shed any light on the accident.
 Mario Lyra, Brazilian, one of the two survivors, said the voyage was perfectly normal, without any trou- ble, until the clipper began to descent and the plane seemed tc fall with breakneck speed"

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.-At last comes a concrete demonstration that it is nicer to live in a democracy than in Germany, even though the weather is hot over here.
 Almost on the same day came the German official warning that the people must eat less food and the American official pronounce ment that people in 100 U. s. cities would be persuaded to eat more food.
 Liberty and freedom of speech and the right to go to the First Baptist Church are not very ma terial things to talk about so long as you are free to have any one or all of them. But food is something else. You have it or you don't have it and you begin to know the diff ference in 24 hours. Loss of church privileges or the right to give or take a little soap box oratory goes on at slow pace and may take years.
 It is our personal impression that nothing will re-establish the virtues of democracy in Yankee minds so quickly as stories of Ger many's cutting down the food sup ply to support rearmament.
 Tn spite of the fact that we are wallowing knee-deep in military expenditures, nobody here has started to cut down the daily ra- tion.

DEMOCRACY HAS ITS POINTS AND ABETTER FOOD SUPPLY

has been troubled with food sur pluses these many months and has been disposed to encourage. farmers to grow less instead of more. That has been only partly successful in balancing crops against national ap- petite. More recently the system of stamp distribution among relief cli- ents has begun to attack surpluses of particular varieties of food.
 Congress put up $l00,0oo,000 of good paper money to finance stamp distribution so that a relief client will get an additional 50 cents for special health building foods for every dollar he gets of relief pay ments for general expenditures. Il has worked very well, or at least the Department of Agriculture says it has, in two or three cities to date and the Department is reaching out to take in more.
 Quietly the Department of Agri- culture has been toying with the idea of permitting relief clients to use the stamps to purchase cotton goods. It would take an awful lot of stamps to make much of dent in the cotton surplus, all of which the Department knows very well But a dent is dent, and, besides the Department suspects that few more shirts year wouldn't hurt the average family.
