Get more of the stove in, push
her around" Marty said excitedly
as be hung over Rene's shoulder.
Tears Of anger and pain came to
her eyes. Her hand did hurt badly!
Rene was too cruel
Get those tears!"
You've both gone mad!" Lynn
cried out.
shut up, cr- some more!" Marty
snapped at her.
That was an easy order. Her hand
was blistering. The bacon grease
was congealing in an unsightly mess
on the rug. Rene sketched away for
dear life, and it was not for another
ten minutes he allowed Lynn to be-
gin 70 clean up the mess.
Put something on your hand, |"
Rene said at last.
PUT on some more coffee, girl,
Wen talk all this over" Marty sug-
gested with a wave Of his large
hand. Meekly Lynn did as she was
ordered, as the two men talked ex-
citedIy IN an un-understandable jar
gOn.
Later, at the table, over coffee
cups, Marty Siedenberg tried to ex-
plain to Lynn what had happened.
I'VE liked Rene's stuff, but we
wanted action. Something for the
last of the month. Something ar
resting and amusing. He couldn't
seem to get it. But this is it,"
Siedenberg turned out to be the
art editor of a nationally known
weekly with whom Rene had been
dickering for magazine cover.
81 knew he could do it, if we just
got going right. Rene, my boy!"
Marty leaned back, toasted the ex-
cited artist with his coffee cup.
Now the first thing is for you to
get out of this joint so you'll have
some space to work in" and Marty
peeled off some bills from the roll
IN his pocket.

CHAPTER XII

The pictures were finished, and
Marty Siedenberg charged about
Rene's big dusty studio down off
Washington Square.
Lynn had a little room with her
own bath IN the building next door
to Rene's new home, and she be-
ieved she was the happiest girl in
the world. As she looked at the pic
t1re she said finally: I'm not as
lovely as that"
Marty grinned down at her. mo,
nobody could be, but you're what
every American girl would like to
be-"

Trailer Girl was the name of the
picture. Rene had managed to get
N a suggestion of a wrecked stove,
as a vacation breakfast went down
before the crash. It was amusing
and pathetic and lovely. Rene had
caught Lynn's breathless beauty,
even IN this domestic breakfast
crisis.
81 wonder how you'll like fame?"
Marty said suddenly to Lynn.
"Fame?"
MY child, In a week after our
magazine comes out you'll have half
the guys in New York trying to
date YOU"
what nonsenseI"
'FWait and see."
The magazine came out the last
week IN May, on a Wednesday. Lynn
had not realized how startled she
would be the first time she saw
those new magazines piled high, on
every newsstand, filing drug store
windows. Her first sight of them
came when she got off the Fifth
Avenue bus that morning to 60 to
work. A boy at the corner had a
hundred of them piled, and people
were buying them as they would the
morning papers.
Lynn hurried past, her head
turned away. She was startled and
iustered. Once inside the shop she
dropped into a chair In the back
room. She suddenly wanted to run
away. But how silly, she told her
self.
Half an hour later Madam came
charging In waving one Of the maya
zines IN her hand.

RAILROAD FACES
 SERIOUS PUZZLE
$ Motor Cruiser Costing Road Plenty to Keep
 Within Law

Peekskill, N. r., July 22-(UP)- Officials of the New York Central railroad wondered today whether it wouldn't be cheaper to buy Dot tie.
 Dottie is a $5, 16-foot motor cruis- CT which costs the railroad $525 every time she is taken for a cruise in the Hudson river. Her owner Is Raymond Douglas, a building super intendent of New York city, who insists on his rights under the laws of navigation.
 Every time Douglas takes Dottie into the Hudson he has to take her under the railroads draw bridge over Annsville creek. Several weeks ago he told the war department to advise the New York Central that Huntsville creek was a navigable stream, subject to the laws whicf prohibit obstruction. For the las eight years the railroad has hae permanent tracks over its bridge.
 The war department told Dougla! he could take his boat through the | QTdW dlly OAAAAC AAS WcAAVSA W so long as he gave the railroad 9t hours notice. Last week he gave mo- tice and yesterday, the first day o1 his vacation, he took Dottie out fol 8 cruise.
 Soon after the Empire State Ex- press thundered over the bridge Douglas signaled he wanted to pass Eighty section hands ripped up the tracks, disconnected the signal block and swung open the bridge. Wher the Dottie passed, the bridge wa! closed, the signal block and track! replaced. The process was repeated when the Dottie returned in the af' | ternoon.
 The Dottie onced served as flow CT urn in front of Lake Oscawans hotel. John Jorgensen of Peekskil bought it and put the craft in con dition. He sold it to Douglas for $' because he didn't know how t' get the railroad to open the bridge.

Congress To Have Hot Session During Week
Defense Bill Costs Will Be One Contention COmpul'
 sOry Military Training Is Another

tee reported that progress has been "very we'll"
 Little opposition was anticipated for the "total defense" bill, although Chairman Clifton A. Woodrum of the deficiency committee intends la ter to begin an inquiry into defense expenditures to "be sure that the government is getting it's moneys worth" Most of the expenditures called for in the $4,800, 10000 are part of a long range program for the army, navy and air corps; irn- mediate expenditures already have been appropriated.
 The Burke Wadsworth bill would require registration of all men be- tween IS and 65 years of age. Those between 21 and 45 would be sub- ject to eight months of military training on selective basis: the re- mainder would receive home defense training. The war department would lengthen the training period to 18 months and pay the trainees $21 monthly-the basic pay for army privates-instead of the $5 suggest ed in the bill.

and heat-stroke or sunstroke may result from excessive exposure to the heat of the sun, from work in hot industries or from strenuous exercise during hot weather.
 Symptoms Differ.
 The symptoms and emergency treatment of these two forms of heat sickness are quite different, Doctor Gray pointed out. In cases of sun stroke, the face of the victim is flushed and red, the breathing loud, the pulse rapid, and the skin feels hot to the touch. While awaiting 8 physician, the patient should be sheltered from the sun and cooled of as quickly as possible. As such cases are frequently unconscious, no attempt should be made to give huid by mouth while in this condition. Stimulants should never be given.
 The case of heat exhaustion or heat prostration presents quite a different picture. These cases should be kept warm, and physi- clan called. If the patient is con- scious, hot drinks should be given. The victim may feel dizzy, develop a headache, faint or suddenly ex- perience 8 soreness in the muscles during mild attacks. In severe cases, he may lose consciousness and become dehrious. Lips and finger tips may turn blue. Later, cramps may develop in the arms, legs, back and abdomen. The skin is pale cool and very often clanmy, the pulse is slow and the temperature subnormal.
 More Water or Salt.
 Doctor Gray explained that ex- cessive loss of salt from the body through precipitation causes heat prostration unless this is soon re- placed by using more salt on food or with drinking water. A salt tablet taken with a glass or two oi water after strenuous exercise dur ing hot weather will reduce the fatigue usually experienced by per sons ordinarily engaged in office ol sedentary work. If salt is added tc the drinking water OPS per cent solution should be prepared by add ing two heaping teaspoonfuls o1 salt to each 10 quarts of water.
