A Shrewd analysis of the military
operations of the warning nations
in Europe, presented by Charles
Nice, secretary of the Brawley
Chamber of Commerce, and a
graphic description of the havoc
wrought by the recent rains, given
by M J. Dowd, district chief en-
gineer. comprised a doubleheader
program presented before tn Braw-
ley Rotary club Wednesday noon

Nice explained the operations by
the various armies and contrasted
present war equipment and meth
DDS with those prevailing during
the World war of 1914-18. He de-
clared that his study of Polish
tactics indicated that the retrea.
before the German armies was
planned, and that the real fighting
will not come until the Poles are
entrenched in their major lines
of Notifications along the Vistula
river.
In comparing the Maginot line In
France with the Seigfried line In
Germany, he declared the French
Notifications were more formidable
and that the German defenses were
more susceptible to attack. Nice Is
a close student of military affairs
and European Developments.
The program was presented by

f and partly because she was fas- cinated by what he told her about his work. He treated her very much as if she were 8 younger sister, or 8 small boy, whom he liked and trusted and found tremendously amusing. He made no apparent effort to entertain or fatter her, as if their casual com panionship were not important enough for him to feel the need of that. Often they drove for miles, just watching the road roll by, without speaking @ word. It was all very restful and urlin- volved.
 One Sunday evening, while they were having supper in a shabbily ornate little Italian restaurant he had taken her to because, as he said, if the color scheme didn't put your eyes out before you were served, the food made you forget everything else, a waiter hurried to the table with a note for Barney. He read it, said to the waiter, "Tell him "O-kay'" and abruptly crumpled up his napkin.
 "Think you can make it home alone if I put you into taxi?" he asked. Sorry, but I have' job to do."
 "why, I haven't had my des- sertl"
 Neither have land I'm the one who's paying for it, sister. You can take an ice cream cone home with you"
 But, Barney, I thought we were going to have a long talk"
 Some other time. This is sorne- thing big. It won't wait"
 Already he had her coat, and when she got, bewildered, to her feet, he hustled her into it.
 "Well, of all the hosts I have ever known" Janet protested, laughing a little, you are the most unpredictable. Perhaps that's one of the reasons I like being with you so much"
 Tt might be Illuminating to hear some of the others" he grim ned, shrugging his shoulders into his own topcoat.
 well, for one thing" Janet said quite seriously, you're such a comfortable person to be with" < He stopped short, looked at her with searching speculation, and then broke into a short laugh.
 What 8 swell send-of for 8 nurse in 8 home for the aged and infirm!" he said.
 He slowed her unceremoniously into a cab, paid the driver, and leaving her feeling mystified and strangely uneasy, darted of into the dark.
 It was weeks before she saw him again.

CHAPTER XVI

For a moment Janet thought that Cynthia must have seen her on the hotel veranda last night, and came to talk to her about that.
 But, Cynthia began abruptly twisting her gloves between her slim fingers. Its about the house, Jan. It's lovely, of course, but l shouldn't want it if I weren't sure 1t was all right with you
 "The house?" Janet echoed vaguely.
 "Tim called me at noon, and said Lance was willing to sell it to him Tim wants to go to housekeeping, you know. Isn't that quaint? And -- but, Jan, you don't mean Lance didn't mention it to you first?'
 "There's no reason why he should" Janet said. You see, that wasn't just "postponement party last night, Gym. Lance and I aren't going to be married at all"
 "So that's why Aunt Mary locked as if she'd just swallowed the cream" Cynthia said after a silence that Jan thought would never end T wonder-Jan. should you mind telling me why the en- gagement was broken?"
 "Oh," Janet said. evading Gym thia's direct violet gaze, because of this and that Getting married to Lance just began to seem--rot such a good idea, after all"
 But Cynthia, the gloves she had been playing with suddenly very still in her hands, said with one of her strange flashes of intuition, So you've found out, too - how little he really matters, I mean. Oh. Jan! And it hurts ter ribly, doesn't 1t? I thought. just at first, that it must be worse than seeing someone die .. But how did you-Janet, is wasn't you--on the hotel porch last night, was it? I heard someone run ming"
 "Yes,' Janet admitted simply T was looking for you, Cyn. IT went away as soon as could.'
 
 I'm sorry, Jan truly I am" Cynshia spoke with simple sim cerity she seldom used. T would have done anything to keep you from hearing. The only reason he thinks he wants me is because someone else has me"
 Don't worry, Gym. There were other reasons more than you

When the Proeressives Split the Republicans

 THEODORE ROOSEVELT re-
 turned to the United States from Africa in 1910 to find the party which he had left united and vigorous, torn by factional strife and headed for disaster. The Progressives had locked horns with the conservatives.
 So the Bull Mooser" did not long stand aside, much as he dis liked the idea of an eX-President returning to party wars. The Pro- gressives virtually drafted him and in 1912 he became can- didate against William Howard Taft, who was endorsed by the Republican "stand-patters." Taft, however, won the Republican nomination and the Progressives walked out of the Chicago con- vention.
 A month later new Progress sive Party sprang into being and nominated Roosevelt for the pres- idency. He accepted and enlisted for . campaign unique in Ameri- can history. At the height of it Roosevelt was shot by fanatic ln Milwaukee on the way to make m address. He insisted on mak- ing the speech, went on to the hospital and two weeks later was again campaigning.
 But the party split was costly. Although Roosevelt boiled more than 100000 votes he was de- 1eatcd by Woodrow Wilson. He retired, but continued to be one cf the most vigorous busy men in American life. As President he had been one of the most distin- kuished. He is shown here on q stamp of the new U. s. regular series, enlarged.

 i can guess. And now that I've hac time to think, I'm - well, mol exactly cheering about it oi course; but since the break wal bound to come, I'm glad it hap pened before 1t was too late"
 Cynthia said, Janet, think I'll tell Tim don't want the house."
 "No, please, Gym. It doesn't mean anything to me now, really It's just -- part of something that's behind me-"
 You're sure?"
 "Please believe me, Gym, I am"
 "Well, then" Cynthia stood up -"I promised to call Tim in time for Lance to take us up to look tue house over this afternoon"
 Halfway to the door she paused and came back.
 T know you don't want to talk about it, Jan, she said with a gentleness that touched Jan - as Cynthia's rare moments of tender ness always did more keenly than kindness from anyone else. T just want to say-it won't hurt like this forever. It's no use to tell you that now, of course. But it won't. know"
 So Cynthia was to have the white house over which she and Lance had spent so many en- chanted hours. In spite of her as- surance to Cynthia, Janet found that 1t did matter terribly.
 Young as Janet was, sh real- ized that if she were to hold her. self steady, she must keep in touch with the life she had always known. So she went about good deal during the next few weeks.
 From the beginning she under stood that her broken engagement If not actually the reason for it. was already an accepted fact among her acquaintances. Most of them skirted the subject with an offhand jocularity which they evi- dently believed made the situation easier for her, and perhaps 1t did. But beneath the harmless jests about her fickleness, her sensitive pride sometimes detected pity, and writhed under 1t.
 During those first few weeks she saw Lance only a few times -- once in hotel dining room with an expensively dressed woman of uncertain age, and once, coming out of a theater alone.
 Cynthia and Timothy Benton had dashed off again almost im- mediately on European trip which was to keep them abroad until the first of the year, when the new house would be ready for them. Aunt Mary and Janet had occasional sketchy scrawls from Cynthia, but rarely knew exactly where she was to be at any given time.
 Barney Mcknight, deeply ab- sorbed in his crusade, seldom turned up at the parties Janet went to, but dropped in at the apartment at odd moments. Oc- casionally he and Janet drove out alone to some inn or roadhouse along the turnpike to eat and dance.
 Janet came to look forward to these jaunts partly because, with Barney, she could relax and put off the protective coloration she wore among her other friends - after all, Barney knew the worst;
