The sun glinted brightly on her

I didn't remember that she had smll'

there were dimples in her cheeks
that told how pleasing her smile
would be. $3.50.

her. My voice still was weak and
hoarse so that I spoke in little
more than a whisper. 'Or maybe
it's that reporter who's imposing on
YOU. I ought TO go home to my own
place."
Her ewes widened as she looked
at me and her cheeks flushed slight

I smiled. No.. I've just a bache-

"Then of course you'll not go

I was in no mood to argue. MY
head seemed to belong to someone
else. It kept trying to fall off. The
lines of the house waved.

DEFENSE IN A NEW LIGHT

Tine sudden and somewhat hysterical increase of sentiment for vast national defense appropriations is the inevitable result of the news of the past two months Until the invasion of Norway, nine out of Americans took it for granted that the Allies would win the war Today, being mercurial people, they anticipate with clarity the possibility of a complete German victory.
 It is too early of course, to harbor any positive conviction as to the ultimate outcome of the Euro pean struggle But in the past few weeks millions of Americans have had to pause and think seriously for the first time about the implications of Nazi victory.
 During these days of Allied reverses many Am- ercans have discovered for themselves that the whole world system on which they relied might topple in a few months The decisive defeat of France and Britain would create immense problems for us, not only through the disposition of French British and Dutch colonies and domnons us, but above all through the disappearance of British sea power.
 Americans who have thought of splendid iso- laton" and who have been persuaded that nothing could touch us here are awakening to the realization that the United States is indeed part of the world community We have never had army in peacetme We have never had navy large enough to wage war in two at once. We shall need both the plain citizen is beginning to realize if the hegemony Europe should pass to dictator imbued with the frenzied dream of world dominion
 So it is that there is talk of new billion dollar defense appropriation and a new tax to finance it. Possibly some large additional outlay for defense would be wise. If the prospects of the Allied de- mocracies do not improve in the next few weeks common sense will require that either begin arm- ing in off it is not too late-seek further means of helping the Allies to win the war
 The most interesting phase of the movement for stronger defense is it's relation to events in Europe The fact that great new armament pro- gram is under serious discussion is in itself proof

remedy has been used only oc-
 casionally in the past"
 Delegate Makes Reply
 After reading the Secretary's re- port on the bill, Delegate Diinond made the following statement: "The Secretary evidently has not read the hearings on the bill because if he had read the testimony given at the hearings he would not have said: there appears to have been no abuse of the right of ceasure and forfeit ure and I have no reason to antici- pate such abuse. In fact, I am .in- formed that this remedy has been used only occasionally in the past. The hearings clearly showed abuse on a number of occasions and, al- though comparatively few seizures have been made, the evil of the law is not so much in the number of seizures as in the compulsion upon those accused of offences. whether innocent or guilty. to plead guilty to whatever harges were brought against them in order to avoid the seizure of their boats and gear and thus, in most cases, the loss of the entire fishing season.

Strength Through Joy"
(New York Times)


 Most readers of this newspaper will have heard of the Naz organization prettily described as the strength Through Joy" (Kraft durch Freude) move ment. This is part of the Labor Front, over which the genial Dr. Robert Ley presides. As Professor Henri Lchtenberger described it. "the association ganizes hikes and tours which range from the simple weekend excursion up to vacations of ten days aboard steamer or trips abroad at extraordinarily reduced rates"
 It now appears, according to words which have dropped from Dr. Ley's own lips, that what is now going in Europe is not unprovoked aggression, ac- companed by murder arson, treason corruption, lies and hypocrisy, but something like simple weekend excursion, possibly longer trip, at extraordinary rates and intended solely to bring Europe and the world to reason and thereby make Europe and the world happy"
 The Nazis, pr. Ley maintains march as banner carriers of a and better world of and dscernment." This is their holy inyincble idea y They expect to come away with unconditional definite victory" and to give Europe "a new face and the people of portion of the earth better, happier future"
 There be no doubt that in so far as Dr. Leys Strength Through-Joy boys can get at it. Europe will need a face It will need hospitals, new schools orphan asylums, cathedrals, new industries cemeteries for the war dead whose fate Dr. Ley takes lightly on his soul

HOROSCOPE. E "The stars incline
 but do not C lmpep
TUESDAY, JUNE 4

Although this is read as an un- important day in planetary gov- ernment, adverse aspects are dis cerned. The morning should be for tunate for planning, since mental vision should be keen. The eve ming should be fortunate for wo- men.
 Heart and Home: In the morning the stars encourage the young. to- ward serious decisions regarding post graduate vacations. This is, however, not an suspicious time for boys to choose aviation as their life calling, since there may be more ambition than wisdom in their hope of achieving success. The evening is most suspicious for social entertainments. Love affairs will flourish at dances.
 Business Affairs: Continued pros perity is indicated for the summer months Warning is given that the stars frown upon any changes that tend to dislocate trade or to alter established usages. Farmers will profit greatly, it is predicted, as advanced scientific methods are applied in all branches of food production. Preservation of fruits and vegetables is to be of extreme interest. tH9 National Issues: Labor. will de- mand extraordinary attention from political leaders and may lose gen. eral favor by demonstrating i s real strength, even though success is forecast for a presidential can didate of liberal views Bitter clashes of opinion will be regis tered as national convention dates draw near. The stars are read as presaging victory for one who is a seasoned general in political, bat ties.
 International Affairs: The Unit ed States Navy is to be active in policing the Pacific Ocean. Need for strengthening defense of the Panama Canal is prophesied. Dan- gers of many sorts are to cause great stimulation of interest in United States preparedness, as the war in Europe continues to dem- onstrate how far apart might and right may be among armed forces.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of sen- sational events that will cause pub- licity for many. The unexpected will arouse interest and bring about odd associations.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be independent and orig inal. These subjects of Gemini may early reveal dual natures and var- | jed talents

Capacity Won't Win
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 Sure we can build the planes asked for by the President says the head of the Douglas Aircraft Com pany. No task is too great and accomplishment impossible for free people united in loyalty and love of country"
 It is a fine sentiment which every American echoes in his heart. The sentiment needs to be supported, however, by something more than patri- otic fervor Too much of the nations preparedness history has been written in terms of pous resolu- tion
 Two facts stand out in the present discussion of American unpreparedneSs for defense. One is that Germany is now building war planes faster than both the Allies and the United States combined The other that with this superiority in the air Ger many is hammering her way hourly nearer and near CT to the frontiers of the western democracies. Americans have been wont to boast of their capacity for plane building and giving altogether too little heed to current production" We might have been building plenty of combat flyers but the sorry fact is have not built them. With the rest of the democraces, have slept while the Nazis were toiling in the night
 Thus Germany is building from 2700 to 5000 planes month. The United States is building 450 America and the Allies together building from | HOO to 2,400 a month
 Such facts as these lay behind the Presidents appeal to Congress to step up American production of planes to 50000 year Similar facts in relation to the Army and Navy justify his request for quick rearmament in these branches of national defense.
 It does not matter much what could be doing unless the determination exists to do and do it quickly
 The clash of mechanical armies in western Europe is tragedy to its participants. To Americans it is a warning of what may be enacted this side of the Atlantic unless steps taken to strengthen our lines of defense. | We can do it. On our heads-and on the heads of free spirits everywhere-wi be visited the deadly penalty if we fail

COLISEUM COMEDY r ENDS TONIGHT AZ
 LOCAL ATTRACTION

With Lynn Bari and June Gale as two hungry little angels muscling in on the heaven where mink coats and caviar grow, the gay promise of more laughs than you can shake a side at was fulfilled in Pardon Our Nerve" the 2Oth Century Fox production which opened yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre and left delightful audience bowling for mcre This feature ends the run tonight.
 Starting off with the lively prem ise that a girl must live-and, if possible, live very well, we see the two little "racket-dears" attempting to do just that-but with not too much success. In fact tthey are dead broke, unable to find a job. and the landlord, in time-honored tradition, is pleading for the rent.
 Then suddenly everything hap pens at once. The Elite Escort Ser vice calls to tell them that a job horseback riding with Kid Ramsay, the light heavyweight champion. is awaiting them But the girls meet with little success because the hcrses run away!

 FAMILY NOW IN
 THIRD PICTURE
Last Showing Tonight of Blonde Takes a Va-
 cation" at Capitol

There will be, amongst the Bum stead family's millions of screen fans, a few doubters who say: They can't be any funnier than they were in their first films Those few dcubters are urged to join Capitol Theatre audiences and learn better. The Bumsteads-lov Blondie, har- assed Dagwood, delightful Baby Dumping and timid Daisy. the dog are back, funnier than ever!
 The same principals are featured. Pretty Penny Singleton is Blondie Arthur Lake, guffaW-getter if there ever was one, plays Dagwood. Little Larry Simms is Baby Dump ling Even Daisy, the dog, is back, full of tricks and gay antics
 The story as it's title indicates, could not be more timely and is perfectly suited a winter evenings entertainment
 Blondie, Dagwood, Baby Dump ling and Daisy, starting the first day of their vacation in their usual whirlwind of confusion, set off for lakeside resort. On the tran they meet genial pyromaniac ramed Gillis, played by Donald Meek, and a tough-crusted business man named Morton, played by Don~ aid MacBride After several hilar- icus mishaps the f mily arrives at the lake. Morton, who owns the leading hotel, refuses them admit tance, an act hardly to be wonder ed at after the way Baby Dump ling and Daisy plagued him during the train ride
 The Bumpsteads go to the cnly other hotel on the lake, where they learn that it's owner has been sub jected to unfair competition by Morton and is about to go out of business. Eagerly siding with the oppressed. the Bumsteads try to help him.
 Before it ends, the Bumsteads' vacation has been ruined, but the audience has had a glorious time. Fast paced, brimming over with Imaginable situations, Blonde Takes a Vacation" is a delight from op- ening title to final fadeout.
