He does it all by hand, and he has to do 1t all backward. The whole thing is just about the most exacting and pains taking job ever had look at. PICKS AWAY

 The 1888 edition of the official map is just now being issued by the General Land Office of the Interior Department. It comes in 8 big sheet seven feet wide by five feet high, and as far as the government is con- cerned, it is THE map of the United States.
 Work on the 1940 edition has al- ready begun, and MT. Ruebman spends his days hunched over a copper plate, pecking away at it with an assortment of fine-pointed gouges and reuters.
 Up until 1901, official U. s. maps were hand-drafted on paper with pen and ink. In that year, however the government decided to have an official set of copper plates made. A set of copper electrotypes were

A SUMMER OF FUN
Bx THE MAN IN TEE TOWER

Emmy Lou is planning
 A summer of fun, She expects to be active,
 Has already begun To plan as much as
 She can in week Of healthy exercise
 So she will seek To improve her golf game, Buy new club or two, Whack out a bit of tennis And will endeavor to do Some wedding in the garden, A healthy exercise, Croquet now and then
 When she wants to be nice. Badminton, too, will
 Occupy some of her days, Perhaps she'll try baseball, Her gangs latest craze. And then her swimming And noted high dives Will keep her sort of busy When she's not on long drives In brand new fiivver
 With 8 trailer behind, It looks like Emmy Lou
 Doesn't at all mind Activity in big doses,
 And she says it's such fun, And isn't she delighted
 That summers begun!

M'SPADEN WINNER
 OF N. E. PCA CROWN

Salem, Mass, Sept. 27.-UP)- Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Win chester today held the New England PGA championship for the second straight time as result of a blazing finish over the rain-swept Salem Country club course yesterday.
 McSpaden. who trailed leader Harry Nettlebladt of Birmingham by one strike at the end of 36 holes. twice toured the par 72 course in 70 despite heavy rain and a raw east wind to complete a 72-hole total of 2S9. His successful crown defense earned the Canadian open king s16225.
 Eight strokes behnd in second place was former national open titl- ist Tony Manero of Salem who fin ished with rounds of "A and 73 for a 297. Manero won $99.15. Johnny Thoren, Woodland pro, was third at 289, winning $66.10. Nettlebladt, a stroke behind McSpaden at the end of the third round, compiled a disastrous 41 on the final nine holes to finish out O. the money at 299.
 A bitter argument about the pair- ngs of the six leading players al- most broke the tournament wide open. Nettlebladt, a leader of the field. insisted on being paired with McSpaden. but Jug refused and asked to play with Jim Fofertey oc Myopia and Manero. Both McSpa- den and Fogertey threaten dto quit. Finally the third round got under way after AS minute delay with McSpaden, Nettelbladt, Fogertey and Manero playing as foursome

 He glanced at the doorway Frightened? Why?"

 Pete said easily, You're draw ing on your imagination, Marian Carma can dine wherever she likes" Glancing again at the fig- ure in the doorway, he drowned T never knew Carma to drink. Her boy friend must be the wrong kind of company"
 Marian persisted. Be on your guard. Pete. I know what I'm talking about"
 The head waiter was leading Car ma and her companion between the tables. They would pass Randy 6 table. Carma's eyes were darting this way and that. feverish, married eyes. Falling on Pete, she blazed. Her nostrils quivered as she drew a sharp breath. Marian looked at Julie who was happily unconscious of impending trouble.
 She turned to Dan; it was the first time she had addressed a re- mark to him. Dan always knew what to do in an emergency. She said, 'Carma is here. She's up to something"
 He darted a glance over his shoulder. "Hm-m," he muttered, Plush horse-tight as a drum"
 They were coming nearer. Marian started to push her chair back, then stopped nelplessly. There was going to be a scene, she hadn't doubt of it, and she was powerless to do anything about it. Carma, who had always been dig nified and well-bred, was about to make fool of herself. She knew it by the mad glint in Carma's eyes. Marian sat still, waiting.
 Carma reached their table. She catching at the back of a chair as her body showed an in- clination to proceed after her feet had become motionless. Her eyes rested on Pete and he stood up. Randy and Dan followed suit.
 Marian'S heart pounded She had an impulse to dash around the table and take Julie in her arms, protect her from the thing that was sure to happen.

Germony UnIeoshes Deadly Sea Wolves

THE sinking of the British mer. - chant liner Athenia, on the first day of the new war marked the resumption of Germany's sub- marine warfare at the point where 1t left of in 1918.
 Almost every succeeding day increases the toll of unprotected merchant ships. Arrangements for conveys are underway and liners cross the Atlantic in black. out. War experts believe Ger man U-boats were on the way to appointed rendezvous long before the actual declaration of war.
 The submarine was Germany's best World War weapon. Almost useless in naval battles, the un. derwater craft preyed upon com- merce, infiicting terrific damage. In the four years of war, German submarines sank 5408 vessels, totaling 11,189,0oO gross tons. In April of 1917 the undersea raid. CTS attained their peak, sinking vessels at the rate of one every Az hours.
 Germany's wartime high in U-boat strength was 140 subma- rines. In 1914, Germany had 28 subs. but in four years completed more than 300 more. She lost 200 by sinking and surrendered 13S to the Allies.
 As a result, all of the present Nazi underwater craft are new giving Germany a definite ad- vantage over other nations. Hit. ler's U-boat fleet is now estimat- ed to number between 78 and 115 shipss in service.

STRAND

Mid-week theatergoers attending Warmers Strand theater this after noon will witness a drama that will finger long in their memory for "The Old Maid" with Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins in the co-star- ring leads to that popular theater as the headliner in the fine twin bill to be seen anc enjoyed through Saturday.
 The production concerns a deeply stirring story of the curious bond of hatred that binds two women to- gether. It is matchlessly performed by the two scars and brilliant sup porting cast.
 "The Old Maid" was first world- famous novel, then was made into a stage play winning the Pulitzer prize of the year and now it comes to the Strand patrons as one of the outstanding productions of the sea- son and the best of eBtte Davis successes.
 It concerns the tale of two girl cousins who, across a stretch of years, live under the same roof: hating each other, never achieving reciprocal sympathy or understand until both are well into middle afe, and the young daughter of one is leaving the ancient homestead for matrimony.
 Miss Davis plays the part of the olc maid: Miriam Hopkins is seen as a widow and others in the cast include George Brant. Jane Bryan, Louise Fazenda and Donald Crisp.
 Ann Sheridan, America's original "oomph girl" head the cast of the co-fea4lire Indianapolis Speedway Fat O'Brien and John Payne are featured.

CHAPTER xxx

They met Pete and his wife in the foyer. He greeted them joyfully and proudly presented his wife. Pete had changed, he was vibrantly alive, his eyes laughed. It crossed Marian $ mind that he fairly swaggered with happiness, and her heart sank. With Carma he had been quiet and unob- trusive, the discontented lover, the tmpatiently waiting lover.
 Carma had been assured. Cocky Dan had called her. Now they had exchanged places, Pete gain ing the heights, Carma sinking to depths he had never known.
 Pete held Julie's confiding hand as he introduced her to the group. She was lovely thing, deliciously young, demurely self-confldent.
 Marian thought. She has the look of a woman who is loved. Dolly has it. A mans love is the most beautifying thing in the world. She looked at Dan and found him regarding Julie ad- miringly. Marian tossed her head. She'd had a mans love and what had 1t done for her? Nothing-less than nothing.
 "How about little look-in at the bar?" Randy asked. Talking and laughing, they wandered to the stairs. Descending the stairs, Marian searched the bar for the woman she had seen. Purple en- semble, pointed fox scarf. She could see no one of that descrip- tion. Relieved. she turned to Pete, who was walking beside her. Dan was laughing with Julie.
 She's very sweet, Pete" Mar ian said. Wasn't it - rather sud- den?"
 He smiled down at her. Tn a way, yes, When I finally woke up, 1t happened fast"
