T hope you will not stay angry at me. I - I came to your home But your father said-he said that this, uh, Girardeau was taking you to the dance, and Girardeau was just ahead of me-
 Ronnie's knees were crossed and she was swinging one very shape ly lower limb as if to express impatience.
 On the contrary, Wes, you ar rived just ahead of Andre. He even ran into your car, Daddy said. He had been drinking. You could have come in first. Besides, I don't care what Daddy told you. He's an old dear, but you didn't have to listen to him. You made the date with me, not with him!"
 "You - you really would have gone to the dance with me? Me?" Wesley held out a hand as if in supplication.

 He looked away, contrite. Ron nie sensed his mood
 'Wes,' she resumed, kindly, why did you think I might not? Didn't you-believe me?"
 He nodded. "At first. But oh, goodness, Bonnie, you really are a lady in every way! To be very frank, I was scared. I, uh, have not had many dates. Not in years. I have but little money, whereas you, the Baileys, and this Girar- deau-" He paused, still looking off.
 T think I understand, Wes. But it's foolish. I mean, unfair"
 T know. But this Girardeau mistook me for a servant and said so. I was trying to apologize for any car damage, when"
 Under the spell of her kindness there the young professor talked himself out. He told more than he had meant to, really; more of his inner feelings.
 But he found this good, and it somehow warmed him to Ronica Bailey more than ever, although to keep from revealing this new warmth of feeling he presently lapsed back into a formal manner and tone. Then they had talked for perhaps half an hour Ronnie stood up.
 I'm so happy we understand each other" she said, land think I shall go explain more to Andre now"
 No" said Wes, with sudden determination. T shall go myself. I - wish to demonstrate that

COUNTRY NEEDS
 MENTAL HEALTH

The unprecedented need for na- tional strength created by world conditions challenges every man, woman and child in the country to keep in the best physical and men, tai health possible, Matthew H. Grisworld F. D., asserted today in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. By so doing they are prepared to carry out their part in the government de- fense program, to undertake extra burdens that a possible national emergency may bring and are help ed at the same time to healthier individual life.
 Although the armed forces will be under continuous medical and sanitary supervision to keep them fit, civilians also must keep them selves as fit as possible through proper health habits so they will not become a burden to the com- munity because of debility. Doctor Griswold said that this calls for sane, normal, daily life with pro vision for well-balanced diet and enough sleep, work and play. These will help to provide extra energy that may be needed for emergency service and also help to maintain normal physical and mental balance for the performance of daily tasks. Keeping fit further requires prompt attention to conditions that may be the forerunners of disease. Symp- toms such as the common cold, mild indigestion, slight pain and the small sore that fails to heal should be needed. Whenever necessary. the expert advice of & physician should be obtained.
 Confident that the American people vii conform to the pressing need for personal health, Doctor Griswold pointed out that the total available power of a nation for de- fense or offense is dependent upon the aggregate powers of its indiyi- duals. The American people are adaptable and will adjust theEi- selves to changing needs. They will maintain e state Of good personal health and thus strengthen the nation against poasible dangers in thc future. Healthy men are ileed- cd not only in the armed forces bit also to carry on the work iiecet. cary to keep these functlonlng at peak capacity. Women have Just as Important c place and tllelF lndlvl- dual personal health h Of Just co magh concern.

WESLEY EXPLAINS
CHAPTER XI

They climbed the stone stair with the beautiful wrought iron railing, passed through the gymnasium bal cony and out an arched door onto the roof of another rached colon- made such as connected the Pueblo University buildings around a large patio. The roof here made prom enade with knee-high rail, and Andre led Lona Montoya into a moon shadow cast by high, rust ling palm tree.
 She put aside her crutch now because they were quite alone. Music for the dance floor seeped out and up to them suggesting a subtle background for romance, but only Andre responded to it's 6uggestion. He looked at Lona Eith a sudden amused, half Wnirking smile.
 You're beautiful when you are angry" he informed her.
 Did you come here on business or on pleasure?" Her voice was snappish. You have taken too many drinks already tonight"
 "Oh, take it easy, kid. I think we could get along fine!" He fingered her arm up and down. Would you like a drink your self? Now?"
 T am being paid to do a job and you are being paid to do a job, MT. Girardeau. And we both know we can be found murdered If we fail Why do have to re- mind you of that?"
 Andre laughed. This isn't the moment for business! This is - a lovely autumn evening! Look at the stars, my dear"
 T am not your dear"
 He. smiled genially at her He had been walking slowly. with an arm around her as if in deference to her Sprained ankle, which both knew was pretense. He held her little closer, noting-with satis- faction - that she did not resist, despite her words. He wanted her to feel his strong arm.
 Like it out here?" He purred that ever so infinitely. Like mel"
 Sne didn't answer.
 But she sat on tn elow railing, 20 feet above the patio grass, and listened while he paid her numer- ouS compliments. It was exceed ingIy easy to listen to suave An dre Girardeau. His technique was a studied one that he had used maaiy times before.
 The patio there was really a half-acre courtyard, handicapped with grass as rich as a golf green, with shrubs that banked impressive ly against the tan buildings, with tall curved palms and with vines that somehow managed to bedeck themselves with flowers even in fall.

They had found rustic bench beside a trickling fountain, and Ronica was sitting in the dim moonlight, hands behind her neck and head back so that she looked up at him. She was Beauty itself in this perfect setting, but Wesley was too upset to observe such things now.
 Stand if you prefer, Wes. But please start talking"
 T, uh, Ronnie. T." He took out his handkerchief to mop his chin, although he could hardly have been perspiring.
 "Yes?" she encouraged. we are out here to explain things. Aren't we?"
 Quite so. mean - yes, Ron- nie!" He sat down beside her.

 He left her at once. She was smiling at his ,boyish way, which could be in such contrast to Wes- ley York, the professor. She sat down again to wait, and with arms still behind her head she gazed at the gymnasium with its lights inside and at the arched colonnade bathed in moon glow.
 Her attention was attracted by two figures on the colonnade; man and girl, on the roof. Apparently the girl was sitting, the man standing over her.
 Ronnie leaned forward, strain ing to see. The two on the roof were no more than black forms, not quite clear even in silhouette. Curious, she strolled over toward the colonnade to stare upward, and began to hear talking al- though words were indistinguish- able in the music from the dance floor.
 Then all at once a door from the gymnasium balcony opened and Wesley stood in unmistakable out line up there. He saw the two fig ures at once and hastened to them and spoke.
 T beg pardon, but this is hardly a safe place for"
 You again, eh?" said a voice, unmiStakably Andres. T suppose you'd prefer to kiss her yourself!"

Bill Fleming turned San Fran
cisco back with two hits last night
to give Hollywood a 81 victory.
1t wasn't so much the eight hits
off Al Epperly and Larry Quay
that contributed to the lopsided
score, but the inept fielding of
the Seals who committed three out
right errors and numerous lapses
of judgment. The win gave Holly
wood a two-to-one series edge.
Los Angeles made it three in a
row over Oakland by an 11-6
count. Chico Hernandez poled
two home runs. Peanuts Lowery
and Cecil Dunn one each. Lee
Slime pitched seventh ball for
the Angeles until the ninth when
he relaxed and let the Oaks score
three runs on five hits.
Ray Harrell, Portland's
pitching importation from
Pittsburgh, lost an thinning
heartbreaker to Dick New
some when San Diego won,
10. Harrell gave the Padres
seven hits and only In the
18th did he permit more than
one an inning.
In that frame George Mcdonald
singled Hal Patchett home from
second with two out. Newsome
was touched for eight blows. two
each in the first, fourth and sixth,
but the Beavers could not count.
Seattle dubbed Sacramento, So.
when Oscar Judd blew up in the
fourth inning to permit all runs
to score. A single, two walks, an
error, Dick Gyselman's triple with
the bases full, and a wild pitch
that sent Gyselmsn home clinched
the game. Paul Gregory pitched
two-hit ball until the eighth when
the Solons combined a walk and
two singles for one run, and again
in the ninth when two safeties
added the final run.
