l have before me a printed leaf
let, such as those distributed last
Sunday throughout the town of
Rockville, entitled Dividing the
People, under sponsorship of an
actively anti-religious band of
fanatics, calling themselves "Je-
hovah's Witnesses. Their latest
attack is against what they term
"Totalitarian Papal Masters,
practically the whole audacious as
sault concentrating upon the Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchy.
"Jehovah's Witnesses, antici-
pating the judgment of Jehovah
Himself on the Last Day, have di-
vided the elect and the lost into
two classes the sheep, osten-
sibly the witnesses, and the lost
goats, evidently meaning all
other denominations, with accent
on the Catholics.
Fanatics of this class should be
discouraged rather than editorially
encouraged. Such severe censure
as appeared in several Washington
newspapers recently placed the
editors themselves in a position tc
be criticized for not stating all the
facts, pro and con.
The mob incident was without
precedent in this self-respecting
community, where missionary
work is not forced upon Christians
through the medium of shouting
standard-bearers and vituperative-
pamphlet sellers on the busy thor
oughfare. Nor do our church rep
resentatives annoy peaceful house
holders with front-door harangues
public denunciations of religious
bodies, and excoriating literature,
such as that distributed on the
30th of June and previous occas-
ions.
AS to the most recent circular,
the Warning, which terminates
the diatribe, is so clearly an en-
deavor to "stir up mobs", of which
they accuse others, that on this
one phase of the case alone they
should be regarded as undesirable.
The dangerous slogan Abandon
Religion, injected into the last
paragraph of their circular, places
these people unquestionably among
those antagonistic to the strongest
tenet in our form of government
and the highest principles upon
which it is founded. 1t is now
clear that the support they have
received through not sufficiently
informed editors has encouraged a
still holder front and they have re-
turned to our town with renewed
determination to harrass and insult
those who did not, as well as those
who did, forcibly resent the intru-
sion of this disturbing element
into our Christian community.
The old idea of graduating in
imical agitators by ignoring them
must be discarded, in the light of
subversive methods which have
fiourished on that theory. Dealing
with a class not burdened with
integrity or intellectual inherit
ance, is a problem with which the
whole world is struggling and
from which it is suffering today.
Where there is a question as to
who should be protected by the
police, both the mob and the po-
tential Fifth Column instigators of
the mob, should be fingerprinted;
then we could tell who's who and
what's what.

But be careful, Lynn. He's a

Lynn tried to speak.

Lynn tried to keep her lips from

me not to fall in love with Wild?"

added quickly: 81 don't mean that
he doesn't mean what he says when
he says it. But he never means
it for very long at time
"You needn't worry about me,

Just don't be too kind to him, !"
Chuck said shortly. Now we'll
forget all about it. You raise a

ought to know it,"
Terry and Wild had just come off
the links when they arrived. The
three men had cocktails with Lynn
at the club and a lot of people
were about, but the Austin party
hurried back for luncheon, since
there were to be a lot of extra
guests with a buffet served on the
lawn by the swimming pool. Wild

with Wild for dinner.
please dol" Lynn said as he
held her hand.
Next morning Lynn was up and
dressed on time, found an array of
servants running in and out of her
room. They wanted tips, of course.
She tried to remember what madam
had told her. Five dollars to the
maid if she'd helped her, and to her
chambermaid, at least two dollars.
Lynn was struggling with tip mon
ey when Wild stuck his head in the
door
How you coming?" He came in,
took the money and put it back in
Lynn's purse. First, how about a
'good-morning' kiss?"
The maid was lowering about in
the overhaul. Never mind about
her. I'll take care of the tips. Come
to breakfast, Sweet. We've got to
be on our way"
On the drive in, they were mostly
silent, the silence of happiness.
Half of female New York seemed
bent on getting their Autumn ward
robes on that first September Tues
day. It was after before Lynn
finally got free and climbed onto a
bus to go down to Rene's apartment.
She walked over to a delicatessen
and got some food for his supper,
for, as she expected, she found him
there, working, without a bite of
food In the house.
Have a good timer"
Grand" Her voice had a happy
note which caught at Rene's heart,
but his hand did not shake as he
slapped on some deep brown paint
to the picture he was doing.
Rene had done a lot of thinking
up in the country and he had talked
to Marty. Things were going well.
It would be foolish to go abroad
just now. In another year, perhaps
he turned his head. Lynn would
be married to Wild by then.
When Lynn finally called him to
supper, she was amazed to see tears
In his eyes.
What is it, Renee" she said, run
ming to his side. But he pulled away
from her and answered her brusque-
ly, trying to keep his voice hard:
''When do we eat?"

ting in on a gold rush they think
will come with the introduction of
movies by slot machines in taverns,

country.
You drop a nickel in the slot and
get a movie show with music. The
idea is to flood the country with
movie cabinets through which a
customer may get a movie with his
beer, cake, strawberry sundae,
three-decker sandwich or hotdog.

Jimmy Roosevelt is getting some

until they had reached his home.
Come" he told her. "We'u duck
this mob as long as we can"
They went down to the beach and
found a shady spot.
What's wrong, Lynn" Wild
asked, but first he kissed her.
Nothing"
You're a bad liar. It was Marie,
wasn't it?"
Lynn did not answer.
Il got myself engaged to her once,

IN his arms, Lynn raised her lips
like little girl.
It was thus Chuck found them.
I'm sorry to break in on such a
charming love scene but mother

Lynn's cheeks were crimson, and
she tried to move away from Wild
but he held her close.

Wild kissed the tip of Lynn's tilted
nose.
PAY no attention to his disap-

you against me! can see it IN his
eye! But just ignore him. He's a
villainous character"
Feeling like a culprit, Lynn
walked meekly between the two
brothers back to the house.
The rest of the day was a turmoil
Everybody swan in the pool be-
fore teatime, and Wild spent his
time trying to persuade Lynn to dive
off the edge of the pool.
There was little more time that
day for romance. Lynn was ready
for an early start Tuesday morn
ing. The weekend was over. That
last evening Mrs. Austin said good
by to her before she retired.
ST won't be up in the morning,
my dear. It has been charming to
have you. Wild must bring you out
here often"
Lynn thanked her sincerely. But
Wild was waiting for her on the
terrace, to say goodnight.
Happy" he asked as he took
her In his arms.

'This is only the beginning, sweet
The worlds really a great place!
Kiss me goodnight.
Lynn later managed to say her
good-bys to other of the house party
guests. Marie was kind to her, real
ly liked Lynn.
"And I loathe most pretty
women!" she added.
Wild announced he was driving
Lynn to town.
''Oh, it is too early, Wild"
''Of course it isn't! I'll be up be-
fore you are"
Mr.. and Mrs. Austin exchanged
gIances. This clinched the matter.

drive into Manhattan, that was in
fatuation.
There was no time to lose.

ARMY DRAFT

Should the President be given the
authority to draft and use the Ma
tional Guard? Yes and something
more. He should be given the
authority to recreate the selective
service system and draft selected
men for either the regular army or
the National Guard.
This doesn't mean that either pow
er will be used to any important
extent.
1t isn't to suggest the raising OF
a large conscripted army before We
have the equipment for them TO use
if at all.
1t isn't a counsel Of panic or hys-
terra. 1t is a means TO avoid both
and, above all, to prevent hardship
and unfairness IN raising the troops
we need-even if the number be
less than $50, 600.
The reasons for these suggestions
are simple. Recruiting by volun-
teering is tagging dangerously.
This is partly due to growing in
dustriaI activity and partly because
there are so many men on relief
But there is a stronger reason than
any of these. This country was sold

CHAPTER XVII

Lynn slept little that night, tired
as she was. She lay there in her
hot room IN the Village.
He doesn't love me. I'm just a
fool Marie is right Just a new
Sensation?' Why must behave like
this?'
Then persistently would come
memories of that morning on the
windswept reef. Wild had been sin
cere then.
And I couldn't be honest with
him!"
II was all such a muddIe that
Lynn dissolved into tears. She slept
late the next morning and awoke
heavy idded and liStless. When she
came down for breakfast nobody
was about except Chuck, who was
having his solitary breakfast.
Late hours don't agree with
you" he said as he poured her a
cup Of coffee
I'm not used to them, I guess, I"
she admitted, refusing anything to
eat.
GNG1 OOOy SOlIC SOl1lI1S, you
might Just as well let me amuse
you"
Lynn managed a wistful little
smile.
''Wild's playing golf with Terry.
He wants me to bring you over to
the clubhouse at II. We've got an
hour"
Chuck and Lynn walked In the
garden after breakfast, and the girl
could see he had something on his
mind. But he seemed more cheer
full than he had last night.
You did me a good turn last
night, letting me blow off steaml"
he said suddenly. Pm going to
say something. Tell me it's none of
my business. That's all right. but
I'm going to say it anyhow"
''Of course, Mr.. Austin, 7 was
pretty hard on you"
Call me Chuck"
"An right, Chuck"
NOW, here goesl" Chuck took a
deep breath.
1T is hard to begin. I don't want
you to misunderstood. You know
] am fond of Wild
Lynn suddenly became frightened
and wished Chuck would stop.

IL
Never lie to me, Lynn, that's all
the promise III ever ask of you.
Never lie to me, for I've had enough
of that!"
It was only two-mile trip back,
but to. Lynn, although they were
making knots, it seemed intermina-
bic. They were travelling with the
waves, which seemed gigantic.
In the roar of the wind Lynn
rnoaned aloud. Why had she not
told Wild then and there about that
wedding? Why? Why? She could
never summon up courage now!
That night they all went off to
the club for dinner. Wild danced
with her at every opportunity, but
there were not many, for the stag
line exercised its privileges, but she
was too impatient to be back in
WId's arms to be other than an
nOyed at the many who insisted on
dancing with her. Terry was there,
and cut In early in the evening.
Nicer than Florida, what?" he
murmured in her ear. What about
that dinner with me you promised?"
Lynn was vague.
See the girls glazing at you.
You'll hear about this tomorrow, I
fancy. See HeIoise Town over there
dancing with Wild? She's been on
the make for him since he was In
MiCkers, but he no can do. She'd
probably like to cut your throat"
Then somebody else cut in, and
Lynn saw Wild was still dancing
with HeIoise, the blonde, who had
come with Terry Saturday night.
Wild rescued Lynn before mid
night and they escaped to his car,
for he had driven her over.
You're gorgeous. We're going
for a ride and wish we didn't ever
have to come back"
II was hours later when they final
Iy got home. Everybody but Marie
and two of the boys were in bed.
It never occurred to Lynn that Ma
RE had deliberately waited up, just
to see what time they got in. But

She opened up a little cupboard

Lynn shook her head.

way, how does it feel to be a South

81 believe you're in earnest. I
mean-tonight The boys are nuts
about you. And Wild's spinning like
a top. Nice work, sister. It's more
than any of US could do" Marie
downed the brandy, poured herself
another. Lynn flushed, too embar-
raised TO answer.
Last time Wild brought home one
of the great unwashed, it was a
Spanish dancer!" Marie laughed.
'.She made terrific passes at the old
mani"
Something in Lynn's clear eyes
sobered Marie for moment.
We'll, good luck. The boys must
be amused, and there's nothing like

And Marie waved an uncertain
good night as she went out the door.

FORD AND AIRPLANES

Could Henry Ford produce 1000
planes a day at River Rouge7 He
could if all designs were alike,
adapted to present production meth
DDS and there were not constant de-
sign changes. The success of Henry
Ford in producing 10000 automo-
biles day was his invention OF
uniformity of design and inter
changeability of parts. Under exist
ing conditions of fux and uncertain
ty, Mr.. Ford could no more produce
1000 planes a day than he could
produce 10000.
There Is another terrible bottle
neck-impossible military standards
of perfection which take no stock OF
our facilities for production That
stopped us often In the World war.
Henry Ford, in creating the first
Tin Lizzie that put America CT
wheels, had the genius to see exact
ly this fault. He built a car that
would do all that was required Of It
IN so per cent Of cases, but which
sacrificed no more TO theoretical
perfection than was necessary 70 60

quirement of price and production.
Charlie Nash did the same thing.
It is quite clear that exactly these
American principles have given the
Germans overwhelming command
Of the air. They build a plane with
no highly perfumed niceties, but
good enough to do its deadly work
and remain 100 hours IN the air with

hours without repair and with a col
lection of niceties that multiply
costs and divide production.
