 With his lips against hers she couldn't answer, couldn't think. Joe, Springville, the safe, sane life at the offlce-all were plotted out and only this heady feeling of something to come, a future dangerous but exciting, and Nick's arms about her.
 She worked in 8 daze the next day. Her thoughts went back again and again to Nick; his voice mlr- muring against her arguments; his lips against her cheek. That was why she was the last of the girls in the office to become aware that something was wrong.
 Suddenly she looked up from her typing, aware of stiffness, aware of 8 tenseneSS in the atmosphere. Her gaze met Kitty's and suddenly she realized Kitty was nodding to- ward the rest room.
 They met there and were alone. Sue Mary asked, What's the mat ter? All of a sudden I felt things weren't right"
 "You certainly have been in a fig" Kitty said dryly. But then you haven't been yourself for weeks. Going around with these new friends of yours certainly changed you"
 Sue Mary pressed her lips to- gether and her eyes flashed.
 "Now don't get mad," Kitty warn- ed briskly. You know it's true, and anyway, I called you in here to ask what you think about today's busi- ness"
 "Today's business? What do you mean? I just know that all of sudden I felt things were different. And then you looked at me and here we are"
 "Well, get caught up quickly then. We can't stay in here all day. Not the way things are out there." She nodded toward the office. Something's been lost. And do you know what that means? At least take it for granted you haven't been in such state that you don't real- ize there's a war going on in the world, and this office has been neck deep in legal work on these plane orders"

Ice Water Becomes
Father Of Rabbit
In Virgin Birth

NEW YORK, March 26.-Discov-
cry that ice water, merely by its
chilling effect, can fertilize the ova
Of mammals was announced today
in the proceedings of the National
Academy Of Sciences.
The report described q recently
born female rabbit whose father
was nothing more than the chill Of
20 minutes of ice water in q brass
jacket temporarily placed around
the fallopian tubes OF the rabbit
mother.
These experiments were done by
DR.. Gregory Pincus of Clark Univer-
sity and Herbert Shapiro Of Vassar
College when exploring a new SCI
entific and medical idea that low
temperature alone may be sufncient
to give rise to virgin births.
Several Fathered by Salt.
DR.. Pincus is the scientist who
first demonstrated, two years ago,
that mammals can have partheno-
genesis, or virgin birth, II their ova
are subjected to the irritation Of
warm salt solutions. He raised sew
eral litters OF parthenogenetic rab-
bits to prove this. All were females.
In the lower orders of life, such as
the insects, where virgin birth is
very commonplace, all the young are
females Males appear only when
sexual mating takes place.
The National Academy publica-
ton describes experiments on 16
rabbits, whose fallopian tubes were
chilled with the aid Of surgical op-
Grafton. A hollow brass cylinder
was placed around one Of the two
tubes in each animal.
Dry Ice Also Tried.

The extension of Nazi air activ-
ity to Southeastern France, during

There was no attempt to minimize

hold at Dunkerque, and their de-

miles east of the city, also had

NEGOTIATIONS With Italy

NEW YORK, June (P.-British
and French broadcasters joined yes
terday in a declaration that there
are no differences between the Allies
and Italy which negotiations and
good will could not cure.
The Allied governments had for
long time past endeavored to meet
all legitimate Italian aspirations,
said a shortwave broadcast of the
British Broadcasting Corp.
But the Italian government has
never been willing to enter into any
conversation on that topic.
There are no differences between
Great Britain and Italy which re-
quire armed solutions or which could
not be solved by mutual good will
Great Britain desires nothing but
friendship with Italy, friendship
which follows a real community Of
interests.
IF the italian government decides
to enter the war the responsibility
will be hers and Great Britain will
know how to meet the aggression.
The French broadcast was ir
similar vein-an appeal to thu
Italian people to stay out of wal
and an assertion that all difference!
between France and Italy could bs
removed by negotiations.

that the Duke of Northumberland
and other prominent Britons have

pect the army's heaviest casualties

He was lieutenant in the Gren-

While some observers interpreted
the speech as slight shift away

as notice Turkey will fight if Italy

today with passenger list of Amer
ican war refugees that strained her
accommodations to capacity.
A final check showed 72O passen-
gers were aboard, the American EN-
bassy in London said.
Shipping officials cut a lot of red
tape to allow l0-year- -old Peter Duffy
aboard as the last passenger. Peter
Travelled alone to join his father in
Gary, Ind. His mother died recently
in England.
Since Peter has a British passpost
there was some doubt at first
whether he would be allowed on the
ship.
The passengers wore life preserv-
ers when the liner, her departure de-
layed while she took on 600 tons
OF water, finally pulled out of this
west coast port last night.
Some IS Americans almost were
left behind by last-minute hitch
over accommodations but a ruling
from Washington permitted them to
sail.

urged to get acquainted so the cross
ing would be more friendly, was
