 ports Confirmed

BULLETIN WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Secretary of State Cordell Hull said his Depart ment is assembling full facts behind the blockade stopping American ships and he hopes to be able to make a statement soon on the Departments con- clusi0ns.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. = State Department officials to- day studied in silence the report that the Germ n submarine commander has served notice that all American ships disre- garding the command to halt will be fired upon.
 The State Department offic- ials also are considering as well the statement that Great Bri- tain has seized as contraband a cargo of resin consigned to Hamburg on an American ves- seI.
 Capt. Nicholson, Executive Vice-President of the Waterman Steamship Corporation, reports that the corporations steamer Wacosta was halted last Satur- day three hours off the Irish coast by a German U-B0at and after a thorough search. the ship was permitted to proceed on her voyage, Glasgow to New York.
 Informed quarters in Berlin, in the meantime, reported that Germany will sink any ship at tempting to carry to Great Bri- tain any articles on the British c0ntraband list.
 It Is also reported, and con- firmed, that Great Britain has seized as contraband, 600 barrels of resin consigned to Hamburg aboard another Waterman Steamship Corporations ship, the Warrior.
 Archie Mills, manager of the Corporation at Pensacola, Flor ida. said he believed the resin cargo is covered by insurance.

the large round table where Ada Mills was
holding court.

She had no illusions about his motives; but
she agreed to go.
There were two vacant chairs beneath an

"I1l need one too" she agreed. She closed
her eyes and smoked contentedly until she
heard women's voices vaguely familiar, on the

He followed her and swan beside her the
length of the pool. Then he shook the water
out of his eyes and grinned across at her. He
said: you've beautiful crawl.
Thanks. Not 50 bad yourself" She smiled
back at him. He had been doing his best today,
she thought gratefully, to make up for yester-
day, for showing her up for what she was. 1t
was nice of him; and it helped; but it couldn't
blot out the bare facts; she had cried because
she had been beaten and she had been caught IN
the act of running away and she knew 1t. And
he knew it. Though he had tried to help her
cover it up, a lot of other people probably knew
it too - including Jack Including Ada Mills,
even.
While she thought of them. she saw them,
together on a settee on the opposite side of the
pool Jack, sprawlng comfortably somewhere
along the middle of his spine. was taking long
leisurely drinks from tall frosted glass. Ada
had tall glass too and she was slipping from
it and giggling, then slipping again, as though
its contents had already gone to her head.

used to it" Lynne thought. ''and he's more of
fool to give it to her.

than likely to be followed by, How about the
club dance on Saturday." but in the case of
Bill Levering she had expected it to be the final
curtain, the nice to- -have-met- you and see

she was first surprised. then puzzled. then defl-
nitely elated.
Between the first two feelings she fell in love;
between the last two, she recognized her state
of mind - or heart - for what it was. When
Bill brushed the top of her head ever 50 lightly
with his lips. she wished that he would stage
cave-man act right there on the club terrace.
When his shoulder jostled hers as they rode
together in his car she yearned for break IN
the pavement or sudden sharp curve to send
her into his arms. She was 50 sure in two weeks
of going places with Bill. that he was the one -
if he would only care instead of just feeling
sorry for her or trying to reform her - she
was 50 sure of it. that all the Others. including
Jack, seemed like 50 many ventrlloqulsts'
dummies going through the motions.
She played golf every morning, as usual; and.
without really trying, turned in consistently
low scores. She rarely saw Ada Mills because
she came out afternoons, they said. "She and
Jack are playing around together nearly every
day now" Helen Trelevan reported. Getting
a slant on the others game, they say, before
the exhibition match they are putting on next
week with Mr. and Mrs. Spencer from Willow

"Oh, I'd forgotten about that annual charity
event." Lynne said. She actually had; and it
was strange too, when she and Jack had been
forced to play an extra hole to beat the Spencers
last year.
Helen gave her a swift questioning look. Il

"The way some of the older women are
behaving over Ada is simply sickening." Helen
shifted from Jack to his new partner. IF she
wasn't such gullible little fool. I'd feel sorry
for her. Why, believe she has to wear differ
ent shade of nail polish every day to please all
of them; and yesterday the whole top of her
head was mass of bobbing ringlets. Imagine

Somebody should tell her," Lynne said.

Bill Levering was called out of town the day
of the exhibition match. 'I'l join you later.
he told Lynne. IF the match isn't over, III

So Lynne went out with Helen. As she swung
the car into the parking grounds, Helen said:
''Il have blister by the second hole. unless
change to pair of old crates keep in my
locker Come down with me-"
Ada Mills and several of her nOn-golfmg
''patronesses, as Helen called them. were still
in the women's lounge adjoining the lockers,
when Lynne and Helen entered.
Deliberately Lynne edged her way into the
close circle of chattering women about Ada.

Thanks very much" Ada seemed crlously
ill at ease.
Lynne thought: '+She didn't have nerve in
her body month ago; now she's all tied up IN
knots" She was about to withdraw from the
circle when something about Adas appearance
struck her. 1t wasn't 50 much the variegated
stripes in the dress as the way it was made.
''Oh, Ada, surely you aren't going to play
in that" The words came tumblmg from
Lynnes lips. Its 50 tight-ftting, 50 binding.
And nothing is as inflexible as linen! Oh, know
it's awfully pretty and becoming, she rushed
on, but haven't you sweater - anything
loose and stretchy? If you haven't. l have two
or three in my locker, you're welcome to -

snapped shut over the words.
81 know it's none of my business what you

Spencers are like, how you'll need all the free

urged more carefully.

"You should be ashamed of yourself for coming
here and getting our Ada all disturbed before

from a tray maid had brought in and held
it out to Ada. Take one of these to steady you.
Lynne could have taken slap IN the face

to keep her voice steady: 81 can't help what

 The diocese now has 108 parochial schools, with a. total registration of 43, ,395, a gain of 115 over last years total. This gain is significant in view of the fact that the general trend of school registration totals is downward.
 The Waterbury Catholic high school is by far the largest Catholic secondary school in the state, with 8 total enrolment of 756. The Sacred Heart high school has Al students. The two local Catholic high schools together have reg istration of more than one-third of all the Catholic secondary school registration in the state. The state total is 2,23O, a gain of Al over last year.
 Enrolment in the states three Catholic colleges is also greater this year while the registration in spe- cial and evening courses declined somewhat.
