perch in the deep sill of the window.
"You can't keep this old house
warm. It's as draughty as a barn
and there aren't enough radiators. !"
"It's a marvellous house, Debby."
Gays head emerged through the
neckline of the gray angora dress.

Debby's dark eyes flashed. ~

house of my own, there isn't going
to be one old thing in it."
"You like modern furnishings and
decorations?" Gay drew ON gray
wooden stockings, laced gray suede
oxfords, crossed the lacings around
her ankles.
"Do I!'
"You'd be interested in my moth
er's apartment in New York. It's
modern"
"John told me. It's penthouse,
isn't it? don't suppose I'll ever get
to New York." she added gloomily.
IT can't persuade Mother to 60 to
Boston even."
"Would you like to live in Bos-
toni"
''I'd like to live anywhere but
here. Portland would do. But you
can't pry Mother away"
"This is her home," Gay said,
interested in Johns younger sister,
sympathizing with her restlessness,
thinking how unlike John she was in
temperament, though, physically,
there was a resemblance.
81 suppose it was fun to live here
once" Debby went on, sensing, Gay
thought, her sympathy and interest.
"a long time ago, mean, when
the men went on voyages and
brought things back from China and
India. Sometimes the women went,
too. My great-grandmother who /
was named for did. I'd have liked
that"
"But," Debby continued regret
fully, las they say on the radio,
Time marches on The place is a
back-water, now, and no mistake.
There's no fun, except in summer.
You can't make Mother leave,
though. She's had plenty Of chances
to sell the house. We could get
enough for it, even in the condi-
ton it's in, to live comfortably some
where. The summer people are all
crazy about it, heaven knows why.
John thinks" She broke off with
an apologize laugh. II certainly

someone to talk to. You're even
better looking than your pictures,

'sThank you," Gay turned from
the mirror, smiling.
II used to watch for pictures Of

tante party. They have the swank

Miss Sophie let me cut them out to

pretty well, then, and Uncle John

A clock in the hall struck a series
of strangling notes. Debby slid down
from the sill.

q. s. WAR PRODUCTION

One very real worry among some
! Of Rooseve1t's friends Is that after
all the hullabaloo over national de-
fnse, October may come around
with not many more airplanes or
tanks constructed.
This, they know, would be disas-
trous to the country, but also from
q purely political viewpoint it would
mean the defeat of President Roose-
welt or any other Democratic candi-
date at the polls in November.
This possibility has caused shak-
ing of heads even among several
cabinet members who have seen
how slowly other projects moved in
the past. They know that with the ma
ton voting the biggest national de-
tense budget in peacetirne history,
and with the President himself en-
phasizing its urgency, the country
is going to expect results and ex-
pect them fast.

HITLER AND U. s.

49, @~~~~~~
From diplomatic information It Is
possible to get a general idea OF
what the immediate future will bring
forth in Europe il Hitler takes Eng
land, as he seems sure to do in
the next month.
FIRST, he will want to buy U. S.
cotton and grain in large quantities
lin fact, he will be willing to take
most Of our surplus-but he viii
want huge loan from the United
States government to do It. This
will be called reconstruction financ-
ing, and it will be tempting bait to
farming and business groups.
SECOND, it is more than likely
that Hitler will offer to freeze the
ornaments of Europe and the Unit
ed States on the basis of their pres
ent armed strength. 3
This also will be tempting to a
tax-ridden American public. The
United States always has favored
disarmament, and several times has
proposed freezing ornaments. How
ever, this was when France and
England had an army and navy, and
when this country was protected by
them in South America.
Today, Hitler's reported plan
would leave the United States with
less than $50, 900 men, Germany with
about 100000. In other words, Lat
in America would be open to at
tack at any time, and the United
States would be powerless to pre-
vent it.
Nevertheless, Hitler's plans would
have strong appeal in the United
States, especially if accompanied by
the usual Nazi propaganda stating
that Hitler had only the kindliest
ideas about the United States and
cherished absolutely no designs for
any part Of her soil.
Note-This was the propaganda
Germany dropped from airplanes on
France before the tanks came. It
told how France and Germany had
no basic quarrel, could live in peace
indefinitely.
HITLER'S SECRET GAS
All the evidence gathered by mill
tary agents abroad now points to the
probability that Hitler's secret plan
for conquering Britain is poison gas.
It is significant that so far, Hitler
has not used gas. Even more sig-
nif1cant is the fact that he has been
storing it up in huge reserves.
French and British intelligence Off
GERS have sent back reports that
alarming quantities are now manu-
featured and ready for use. Wheth-
er any new and more deadly form Of
gas has been perfected, they do not
know.
One reason Hitler did not use gas
in attacking France and Belgium
was that his army was moving too
fast. His tanks and armored cars
were penetrating into the enemy
lines so rapidly that they would
have caught up with their own gas.
It would have hampered Nazi opera
lions rather than aided them.
But in England it will be different.
For the English channel lies be-
tween Germany and her victim.
There will be no danger of the gas
seeping back to Nazi invaders un-
til they actually land troops.
And so far all evidence indicates
that before attempting to land
troops, Hitler will subject England
to rain of bombs such as the world
never has seen before.
Only after Hitler has gassed and
bombed England to the verge Of
surrender will the Nazi attack by
sea begin.
