Three days later the girls heard
that she had married the postman.
Ann never saw her again.
Whlle all this was going on Ann
had been thinking. Nothing was go.
ing to come her way unless she
forced it to do so. Her mind darted
up and down blind alleys. There
seemed to be no way out. At last
she came to a conclusion and talked
the matter over with Clara.
Il can't go on like this forever

make over hats all my life"

for a place as parlor maid or
companion or something like that
Clara was Mortified. You mean
you want to be somebody's servant?"
Call it that if you wan to. I
don't mean general housework. I
want to live in a beautiful home
and handle nice things even if they
don't belong to me. I want to live
like decent people,"
whats the matter with the way
we live?"
"Nothing-but I want to try this.
I can very likely make as much as
I do now and have a room and board
beside"
But you'd be a servant" Clara
was scandalized.
What of it? Are you your own
boss"'
II certainly am"
"Au right, Clara. I don't intend
to stay as a maid. I'm going to work
up to the position of house mana
ger. Just think how wonderful it
would be, running a house for an
old lady or a widower, ordering the
meals, taking care of every last de-
tail"
Clara said, Il think you're crazy"
Maybe I am-maybe I can't get
a job without references-just the
same I'm going to try. I have to
leave here"
This brought Clara around to her
own enthralling affairs and AIMS
decision was forgotten. Ann left the
rooming house on Friday. She went
to the Center. The rooms were a
trifle more expensive, but she was
reluctant to settle again until she
heard from the agencies.
The girls babe her farewell in the
upper hall. Neddy and Teddy openly
dis%approved Of her next step which
had been duly reported to them by
Clara. Myrtle cried. Clara was SO
taken up with her approaching mar
riage that she scarcely noticed AIMS
going.
Ann wondered a little that two
girls could live together, sleep in
the same bed, eat at the same table,
for a year and feel no real fondness,
one for the other. 1t had been an
economic arrangement, nothing
more.
Carrying her suitcase and heavy
paper bag, Ann walked down Mrs.
Toilets stairs and straight into adj
venture, dangerous adventure.

lines. Florabelle's friend, Clancy, had

the crime. C1ancy's widow was fly

The girls gathered in the hall,
looking with fearful eyes at the
closed door of Florabelle's apart
ment. Even Neddy and Teddy were
serious. Clara cried. Ann felt sick.
Mrs. Toilet went through the sec,
ond floor hall, muttering to herself
that she'd always known Florabelle
would come to the gallows, that she
kept a respectable house and she
wouldn't put up with such goings
on. Myrtle crouched in a corner, her
eyes big and hunted.

WALLACE SEEKS JOB

Henry Wallace came back from his hectic presidential campaign looking considerably older Not many people realized it, but he had been on the electoral warpath contlnu- ously since August, making ten to twelve short speeches a day, and five to six major addresses a week.
 There was no part of the coun- try which he did not cover, and the surprising showing which Roosevelt made in the farm belt undoubtedly was due in part to Henry Wallace.
 Wallace's friends are now urging him to take a vacation. Instead he is looking for a new job to tide him over between now and the time he takes the oath of office as Vice President of the United States.
 Beginning then-January 20 --- Wallace will draw salary of S15,- GOO. But until then he is hard up His salary as Secretary of Agricul- ture stopped last August. and his expenses since then have been heavy In fact, he doesn't have quite enough on hand to keep the children in college.
 So the new Vice President prob- ably will write a few magazine arti- cles and fill a few lecture engage ments.

DIDN'T FOLLOW TEXT

Wanted-By the National De- fense CommiSsion-A stenographic transcript of Secretary of the Navy Knox's recent speech before gradu- ates of the National Police Acade- my in which he warned aggreSsor nations that the United States is ready to meet any challenge.
 The story behind the story is this. Secretary Knox prepared his speech and, as is customary, all lowed the Navy press information department to release "the official text" in advance. The rub came when the Secretary, speaking with out notes, made his speech good deal more forceful than the of ficial text" The defense commits sion, which must base much of its program on departmental policies, has been calling all over Wash ington to try to find some one who made stenographic transcript of the Secretary's address.
 If the defense commission wants a tip, there just wasn't any made and they will have to take the reportorial word of the boys who covered it that that's exactly what MT. Knox said.

THE MONSTER" RAID

new Nazi terror the concentrated raid a small locality without military significance was dem onstrated yesterday at Coventry. After it over a thousand men, women and children lay dead Others were trapped under fallen masonry. Berlin claimed exuantly that the whole city was "engulfed in an ocean of flames that it was a monster raid, es- pecially fierce successful and causing tremendous devastation"
 For once we do not doubt the High Command version particularly the monster" reference. But we prefer the British communique which said the city suffered very seriously but the people are bearing the ordeal with great courage"
 This will not be the last raid of its kind in this war Now that his object is not to cripple Engands defenses-he found that impossible-Htler is con- tent to cripple and kill the defenseless.

Pole. A few weeks ago it was in the vicinity of the North Pole -.-.
 The North Star within little over year will have travelled from Arctic America to Little America in the Antarctic and return not just once, but two round rips We doubt very much whether this has ever been done before. Certainly the North Star and it's officers and deserve a unique place in the history of navigation for their long voyage
 Although it hasn't had nearly the publicity of the barkentine Bear, which is owned by Admiral Byrd the North Star is really the backbone of the Byrd Antarctic expedition This little Alaska ship, which we have in port many times, is doing the hard work for the Byrd party. And when it comes back from the Antarctic for few months does enjoy the rest and repose which merits after it's abors, but returns at once to business usual freighting to the remote stations along the Alaskan coast
 The Bear too has service in Alaska. It is the Bear which visited these waters many times as the revenue cutter Bear
 But the doughty little North Star is the ship which is making history in connection with the ex- ploraton of new continent Hats off to our AL aska vessel and Alaska seamen.

FORT RICHARDSON

Naming of the Armys main defense base in Alaska after Brgader General Wilds P. Richardson is move that will be applauded throughout the North Fort Richardson means so much more to us than Elmendorf Field, though have no doubt that Capt Hugh Elmendorf of New York, who killed in arpane accident at Wright Field in 1883 very fine officer and gentleman.
 But Colonel Dick" Richardson of the North just as Fort Richardson is. He a Lieutenant of Infantry at Chilkoot Barracks before he was pro- noted to Major and made President of the Alaska Road Commission in 1905 Under his direction the Valdez Trail developed into Alaskas greatest highway linking the heart of the Territory with its outer perimeter All the heavy work on the Richard son Highway was done with Colonel Dick" in charge He did not leave Alaska until 1917 when he went into active service in the World War and achieved further fame and his rank Brigadier General when he led the famous American expeditionary force in Russia. Richardson died in 1929.
 Colonel Richardson immensely popular auan in Alaska and the War Department should know it pleases us all great deal to hear they have sIssfssE faasss base at. Anchorage in his honor. Among all his old, friends in Alaska none is more pleased at the than the Empires and former editor John w Troy, who for many wears counted Dick Richardson among his closest friends

Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The few persons in Manhattan Center who greet ted Wendell l. Wilkie with the shout, 'Wikie or revolution" like those the other side who pro- fess to believe that Fascist dictatorship would be set up by "big business in the event of Republi- can victory, apparently have lost their capacity for sober thought in the heat of campaign.
 Very profound political issues at stake in the election, but they do not mark an irreparable division of the American nation. The American people by and large, have both of proportion and sense of humor They accustomed to vgorous-even vioent-political campaigns. But they likewise are accustomed to accepting the verdict of the election in very good grace.
 The campaign of 1928 was very unlovely thing, but once it was over President Hoover commanded nation which was not disunited until the depres when the nation ndulged itself to another heated presidential contest President Roosevelt came in, and in turn enjoyed the support of the vast major ty of the people. The campaign of 1886 was none too tame, out election day President Roosevelt again enjoyed a general confidence which was not disrupted istarred effort to reorganize the Supreme Court.
 The elections cited came in times of world tran Qulity. If, ii such times the American people dem onstrated their capacity for solidarity after presl- oential election, they certainly capable, in the face ot world-shaking developments of presenting a united front after the current campaign is ended. However vigorously partisan the nation may be until November 5, the campaign bitterness will cease to have purpose after that date. After all the nation IS eecng President of all the people, to serve in time of unprecedent need for national unity.
