the week before. It was like trye ing to stop a five-ton truck when Hal Forrest bludgeoned his way over tackle or slammed in from close up on a spinner. And how he could spin. [
 Frantically, Slocum worked on a defense to stop him. And Dan Webber, his hand almost com- pletely healed after the layog, was the key-man.
 "Our ofiense will take care of itself" Sloucum predicted. "All we've got to do is shake Rhodes loose once - just once, that's all l ask of you guys. And then we're going to dig in and stop that For rest guy"
 It was Wednesday noon when the large, dark blue sedan swung slowly down Main street, cruised around the business district. for about an hour and then moved over onto the campus drive.
 Three men were in 1t. Two in front, one in back. The driver was thin, dark, with short, well- trimmed mustache. His com panion up front was bulky, fiorid of face. His eyes were small and close set.
 There was dapper air to the man in back. Even as he rode he filed already carefully manicured nails. A cigaret dangled from his lip. Along his forehead was { slender, curved scar that stopped just at his eye-lid.
 According to her schedule said Scarface, "shell be coming out of that building over there in" he glanced at a gold wris watch-"in exactly five minutes"
 The bulky one up iron grunted Swing around this building onc' again, Sam"
 Two o'clock classes were jus ! letting out when they returned Sam parked the car on the op posite side of the drive. The. , waited there. "sure you can recognize herP Scarface asked without lookin up. He was still occupied witt his nails.
 Cant miss," the bulky one re piled.
 Two minutes later he stiffene sharply. Here she comes"
 Scarface looked up, then, cas ually, indifferently, but there was glint in his eye. He watched Joal Johnson come down the steps to ward the sidewalk.

. STAMP NEWS

THE first of the seven five- A stamp sets of Famous Amer jeans" will likely be issued early in December, it now appears. The rest will be issued in l940.
 The set will include artists, au- thors, composers, educators, in- ventors, poets, scientists, 32 men and three women in all. Presi- dent Roosevelt made the final se- lections after scores of nomina- 'tions were made. The set, hailed as the "heroes of peace" issue, should be one of the most impor. tant in U. s. philatelic history.
 A stamp issued for an event which never took place is now at- tracting special philatelic inter- est. This is the German value is. sued in commemoration of the 1889 Nazi party congress at Nu- remberg. It shows Hitler about to speak at the meeting. Hitler never spoke and the congress was not held because of the outbreak of war.
 Almost anything may come out of the European war for the stamp collector as boun daries are changed, countries wiped off the map. German and Russian occu- patton stamps may be expected as a result of the fall of Poland. Likewise, Russia may issue new stamps for its acquired provinces in Poland.
 War stamps may also be ex- pected anytime from the belliger- ents, commemorating the start of hostilities, elevation of commando CTS, battles, launching of ships, national charity and fund drives of one form or another.
 At the same time, new interest is focused on the stamps of coun- tries "conquered," Poland for cur rent example. Who knows where the ax may fall next?
 The entire 1922-23 issue of coiled stamps has been withdrawn from sale at the Washington Philatelic agency.

 Dan wondered at the attitude but made no reply. Okay, then Might as well have a little fun out of it.

CHAPTER XI

They were in the midst of dinner that night when the phone rang. It was for Joan. There was LOOK or bewilderment on her face when she returned.
 She sat down and turned an accusing gaze on Elaine. For your information" she announced "that was the Student Senate ofice calling to tell me I've been named co-chairman ot the Last Week committee. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you, squirt?'
 Elaine squealed with delight "Jeepers, that's swell!" And then soberly, somewhat hurt. "Who me? Know about what?"
 Joan was forced to laugh and the other girls around her chat tered their congratulations.
 "You you accepted, ol course" Elaine inquired, just a little meekly.
 "oooh, you little :. you lit- tie :" Joan tried to be angry but couldn't. She had to laugh T just about had to. Seems as though Dan had no particular de- sires in the matter . and Il would have looked funny :. and he might have felt hurt. ii I had declined.
 "In other words, you little worm you framed me like a pic ture!"
 "Now it's me that's being hurt, said Elaine, but she grinned.
 She leaned over and whispered in Marianne's ear. "Webberl Swoon when he finds out"
 
 That was practically an under. statement on Elaine's part. Five sec- ondS after a pledge had given hin

IOver $1,6OO, 900 In Current Taxes Paid At City Hall

Approximately $1,6OO,O0Q in 1889 has been received at the city hall since the current tax became due on Monday, Tax Collector William A. Ennis said this afternoon. Payments fell off somewhat today, after large amounts had been received Monday and Tuesday.
 The long lines of persons waiting to make payments that prevailed yesterday and the day before were not in evidence to- day. MT. Ennis said that collec- tions thus far have been satis- factory. and predicted that most of the installments due at this time would be paid by the end of the month.
 The grace period for payment of 1888 taxes ended on Satur- day, and delinquent property owners now face the prospect of having liens placed against them.

SENATE AWAITING
 REFERENDUM BILL
Waterbury Measure Re- ported About Half
 Printed
Special to The Democrat)

\SpSC1al 70 1ne DemOCFaC) State Capitol, Hartford, May B. With printing of the Waterbury City manager referedum bill still far from completion, it appeared today that the measure would not come into the senate for action until next week. The printing of the 8O,00O word text of the bill was reported today to be only little more than half completed.
 Observers here now are predict ing that the bill will pass when it comes before the upper house, be- lieving that Senator George T. Gull hane of Waterbury will not be able to muster sufficient voters to side track the measure.
 Senator Culhane, however, re- mains silent, not committing him. self as to the action he will take when the bill finally reaches the floor. It is probable that he will seek to have the measure amended.
 The bill, which has already pass ed the house, provides for 8 spec ial election in Waterbury Oct. 3, at which time the voters will vote for or against the city manager charter, proposed by the Waterbury Citizens Good Government associa- ton. It is know that Senator Gull hane feels that if a referendum is to be held, it should take place before October.
 The principal arguments over the bill will be submitted by Senator Culhane and Senator Audubon Secor. chairman of the cites and boroughs committee. Senator Secor. though opposed to the bill, is supporting 1t because of his committee chairman ship.
