 She flounced out of the shop Molly ran after her, calling to her, Jean went into the stage entrance of the theater and slammed the door. Johnny laughed.
 "You don't know Jean. The hur- ricane that hit the Cape in '36 couldn't keep her here. That time it was good thing she started Both our cottages were washed out to sea-"
 Molly wasn't listening. She was staring at the stage door of the theater, her blue eyes boring through its entrance.
 Afraid you wouldn't have chance to wear her cameo" Johnny asked idly.
 What on earth do you mean by that? Has Andre Masters seen her?" Molly demanded.

 IN STAMPS
Jack Knights Flight Made Airmoil History

m0Oe AIFH10iS TIStOfy WHEN the U. s. Scent airmail " stamp, above, was released in 1924, night airmail service be- tween New York and San Fran cisco was. well established. The new series of airmails, issued in Scent, 16-cent and 24-cent values, was intended for use in three zones at eight cents per zone.
 Night airmail service was in- augurated, unofficially, by Jack Knights memorable flight on the first transcontinental mail test run, Feb. 22, 1921. Knight was sched- uled to relay the mail from North Platte, Neb., to Omaha. A dam- aged tail skid delayed his takeoff until 10:44 p. m.
 Reaching Omaha, Knight was told that bad weather had forced abandonment of the test. Disre- garding danger, he took off for Chicago at 2 a. m., flew into a snowstorm, finally located Iowa City with his gas tank almost empty.
 The ground crew at the airport had gone home, believing the flight was cancelled. The night watchman heard Knights plane, lit flare. Knight saw the light, landed safely, refueled and went on to Chicago.
 Knights flight convinced even the most skeptical that airmail service was distinct and impor- tant part of the U. s. postal sy- tenn.

STRAND

Attractions concluding their en- ragement this evening at the War ner Bros. Strand theater include ssThe Ghost Breakers with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard in the co-starring leads; also Gambling on the High Seas" with Wayne Nor ris and Jane Wyman.
 One of the truly great pictures ot khe year will be afforded Strand pa- trons for three days starting tomor- row afternoon when the widely ac- claimed -Four Sons" arrives at that theater as the headliner Of the grand weekend show.
 Heading the powerful cast is Don Ameche and supporting him is host of outstanding celebrities in- cluding Eugenie Leontovich, Mary Beth Hughes, Alan Curtis, George Ernest, Robert Lowery and many others.
 The story, as the title implies, is the story of a mother and her four gons-the locale might be almost any nation in the world. She sees her sons turned against each other, their hearts filled with hate; she sees two of her sons killed; her homeland invaded and even the youngest of the four conscripted. It is indeed drama of timely great ness and one that everyone should see.
 Ameche is said to have his most powerful role to date and Miss Leontovitch, stage star of New York, London and Paris gives an unparal- leled portrayal of the mother. Mary Beth Hughes in the romantic lead opposite Ameche, takes a long stride forward with beautiful imperson- etion. Other members of the fea- Itured cast who turn in inspired per- |formances include: Alan Curtis, |George Ernest, Robert Lowery, |r.ionei Royce and Sig Rumann. Co-featuring the program VIII pc '''Nanhattan Heartbeat" with Rob- |ert Sterling and Virginia Gilmore .in the starring leads. Joan D2vk heads the supporting cast.

CHAPTER VI

Johnny busted himself picking up ti1e bits of broken pottery bowl Jean was leaving for Boston. She said she would leave when she found out Molly loved him. Was she sure of that?
 Did Molly tell you that? Is she in love with me?"
 Jean laughed unhappily. "You're balmy, Johnny. She thinks you're cute as bugs ear"
 Johnny cursed himself for let ting Jean see his heart. He'd spread it out before her and she was sneering.
 "Why go home, then? Why not stay here and heckle? Think l can't take it?"
 She looked at him, almost with pity. "Oh, Johnny what's the user I've tried to like the girl honestly I have. She's so smooth and beautiful she frightens me to death. And she's grand actress But she's ambitious, Johnny"
 Johnny snorted. Ambition isn't any crime. Let me tell you some- thing, my sweet - poisoning my mind isn't going to help, I'd marry Molly tomorrow, if she'd have me"
 q won't be here tomorrow to See that, thank heaven" Jean an- swered.
 She sat down on the sea chest and swung her feet, She was still a little girl, Johnny thought. Brown legs and socks, cardigan buttoned once at the neck, silly little ribbons tucked into her brown curls. Nothing alluring or mysterious about Jean. Just a little girl, hurt and angry because somebody had broken her favorite doll.
 "Jean", he said, "I'm sorry truly I am. Don't think I haven't missed our Cape Cod, the one of other summers. Sometimes wish I'd never laid eyes on Molly. I'd be happier, I suppose, digging quahaugs and sailing with you not being in love-"

 They were silent for a minute, st still that they could hear the clock ticking. It's the perfect moment fol me to say, Lets be friends, thought Johnny. But he said mo- thing, busied himself swishing i'm aginary dust from pine cone par Eots.
 What I really came to say Jean was speaking steadily, as if she had taken a deep breath and

MANY LICENSES
ARE REVOKED
PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR
CITES CAUSES FOR 74s
REvOCATIONS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. July l
/ FNS).-A total of 749 drivers
! licenses were revoked and sus-
pended from the date the Public
Safety Act became effective last
October through May, w. L.
Reid, director of the Department
of Public Safety, reported this
week.
Orange county led the list in
the total number of revocations
and suspensions having ITO; Hills
borough county was second with
a total of 95: and Polk county
was third with a total of ~.
Director Reid's report shows a
total of $50 revocationS and 1911
suspensions for this period.
Drunken driving accounted for
497 revocationS, or nearly 900
Reckless driving was the reason
given for II revocations.
The report shows no revoca-
/ tons or suspensions in q of Flo
rida's 81 counties.
The splendid cooperation which
the Department of Public Safety
is receiving from county judges
and law enforcement officers is
highly praised by Director Reid.
The law makes the county judges
the agents of the department in
issuing drivers licenses, he said,
and while the compensation they
receive for this work is small
they are cheerfully cooperating
with the department as matter
of public service and accommoda-
ton to the people of their coun-
ties.
County and criminal court
judges also serve as agents of the
department in the revocation and
suspension of drivers licenses,
Director Reid said They hear the
cases in which grounds for revo-
cations and suspensions are pre-
sented and are thoroughly fami-
liar with the facts in each case,
They have done a splendid job,
and the Department greatly ap-
preciates their assistance.
