ed the situation regarding her

regarding Mrs. Wright's residence
in Florida. and other activities as

ton.
Mrs. Wright said she had been
bona fide resident of Key West
since 1888 when she voted, as
shown by the records. and had
considered herself at that time a
resident of much longer duration
as she had not lived in California
for the past five years.

board members and it was iinan-
imously agreed that the claimant
was entitled to the exemption as
claimed for 1888 and 1899, and it
was so recorded.

half of the Woman's Club, pre-
sented to the board a proposed
bill, which State Senator Elmer
Ward and Representative B. c.
Papy will be requested to have
passed by the present session of
the Florida Legislature.
The bill is to regulate the plan
ming of signs and placards on the
Overseas Highway, in Monroe
county, as proposed at a former
meeting of the board and on
which no action was taken.
1t was decided by the members
present that the proposed meas
ure would meet with tn approval
of Senator Ward and Represen-
tative Papy and was given the
unanimous approval of the board.
Attorney Harris was asked to
formulate the measure for the
Woman'S Club, and hand it to
Mrs. Cosgrove to be presented to
the representatives of Monroe in
the Legislature.

 They skirted the university power plant and swung onto the long gravel road which led down tc the stadium. At the same instant heavy blue sedan moved out of the stadium parking lot and starteo slowly toward them.
 Joan didn't notice the other car until she rounded curve. The sedan came toward them slowly smack in the middle of the nar- row road.
 Its about time for that guy to move over,' Dan muttered as they drew closer.
 Forty yards away and the sedan showed no inclination of drawing over to its own side of the road And then Joan noticed there were three men in the other car.
 A sudden thought made her swing wide in an attempt to move around them, off the road, but around them, nevertheless.
 But they swung wide with her and when she damned on the brakes the cars were only three feet apart. She was completely blocked
 Hey" Dan shouted. What's going ."
 But even as the two cars screeched to a stop, Rocco was scrambling out of the sedan,
 There was an automatic in his hand. Joan gasped and clutched Dams arm.

 It was a beautiful fall day, and Joan, walked over to pick uE Keith's car, wished it were tive miles instead of two blocks to the Gamma house.
 She picked up the keys iron, the cook and drove over to one of the dorms to call for three girls in her class who were tc make the trip with her.
 They joined the rest of the group at the orphanage and spent the next three hours making ob- servations and taking notes on the institutions system of operation
 They ate a late lunch at a town town tea shop and then re- turned to the university district

 Joan frowned That's funny. He was a student, was he?"
 Nope. And I noticed he got into big sedan across the street with a couple other fellows
 Thanks, Uncle Jim .. could- mt have been very important or he'd have called me at the house"
 She returned to her room and wrote a couple of letters before taking Keith's car back to the sta- dium.
 I'll be back in 45 minutes or so," she told Elaine. "If I get any phone calls insist on mes sage, will you?'
 She dropped her letters in a cor ner box and drove across campus. Stopping at the library to pick up a book she bumped into Dan Web Der.
 Hi, there she said. Going down to the stadium soonP I'll take you down.
 What do you mean you'll take me down?"
 She explained she was returning Keiths card. Gan you imagine that lazy so-and-so making me walk all the way back from the stadium when I could have left it at the fraternity house."
 Dan grinned. Sure I can That's Keith. But maybe I shouldn't blame him at that. The way Slocum has been running us ragged this week that car comes in handy when it's time to go home.'

Three BoItic States Face PoIond's Fote

WITH Germany and Soviet
 " Russia apparently in full ac- cord over the partition of Poland, the three World War-born Baltic triplets, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia helplessly await develop ments which may doom their in- dependence. Although protected from German invasion by non- aggression pacts with the Reich, the three little countries are in danger of being returned to Rus sia.
 Hitler has already recovered the important port of Memel, ceded to Lithuania by the Ver- sailles treaty, and apparently has no further ambitions on the East ern Baltic coast, but possession of the countries would give Rus sia a vastly greater coast line and many important ports.
 All together, the three nations nre not as large as the state of Missouri: most of their area is flat coastal plain. For centuries these plains have been battle- fields, for Germany's eastward expansion, for Napoleon's cam paign against Russia and during the World War. There are no natural barriers, such as Switz- erland possesses, to safeguard neutrality.
 Exports consist chiefly of forest products and foodstuffs. Flax is also exported in quantity. These goods constitute a rich prize for belligerent nation.
