ooh, I could, all right" Ken
boosted, gloomily. He went to get
her drink of water, and she stood
drinking it and laughing, and pant
ing against the background of snowy
hills and barred trees and blue, high
winter sky.
The truck came duly chugging
down the new road a few minutes
later, the men hanging on like mon
keys, watching the track as the
great toboggan tires fiattened the
snow.
To them the gently rolling, snowy
hills all about, the occasional dis
tant cluster of roofs and farmhouse
columns OF smoke, the road deep in
dry white shining powder, were ex-
actly what they had been seeing for
the past two hours. But Ken was
now bidding them good-by.
"Walk to the top of that hill there,
and there ought to be village
about mile below. On your way!"
he said.
He did not look at Sheila. He
walked about the truck in the snow
and climbed up on the front seat,
and she saw one of the other men
get down upon the rough floor of the
vehicle and roll himself up in blan-
ket there.
The rest was a floundering walk
in the snow, more like three miles
than two, and long, dreary, empty
wait at an empty station. The sign
over the station said "Capitol juno
ton; there was no house near by.
But toward the middle of the after
noon a rickety train did rattle by,
and Sheila and Peter boarded it. The
conductor sleepily informed them
that they were in northern Con-
necticut and obliged them with tick
cts to New York. There was no din
er on the train, but when they trans
ferred to a roaring leviathan far
Their on, they thankfully went into a
brightly lighted buffet-car and had
club sandwiches and coffee.

preached her, with spirit, eff you
could have seen the crying and 60
ings-on-if you could have known
how we all felt! Ma was up all
night, and Joe kept coming in and
QUIT was something awful!
"And then yesterday-Ma, that
was only yesterday!-then yester-
day, Judge and Mrs. Nc Cam

little laugh, cit seems that you
mustn't let yourself get kidnapped

Gertrude Keane has been terri

accusing, tender tone she had used
all through the conversation, "she's
simply Frustrated"
Her brother Joe came quietly in;
she was in his arms, crying and
laughing.
"Joe, Joe, you're not against me,
are you? They said you stood to me,
Joe! You don't think I'm bad; you
believe me, don't your"
He looked worried and serious,
pushed the silky fringe of hair from
her forehead, keeping brotherly
arm about her, but not smiling, not
kissing her.
"Of course I'll stand to you, dear.
But-my God, what you've put us
through, Sheila!"
He sat down, and she dragged a
chair near his, still clinging to his
hand.

CHAPTER TX

When they were finally approach
ing the city, and the theater adj
vertisements and the multiplying
apartment houses warned them that
their long trip was almost over,
Sheila was conscious of a sudden
lassitude, a WEAKNESS that seemed
to have as much to do with the
soul as the body. Wonderful as it
would be to get home to Ma and
Angela and Joe and have the first
thrilling conversation with them, she

AN APPEAL TO RADIO STATION
CHIEFS


CHIEFS
Must you link up ballyhoo for
breakfast foods with the most mo-
mentous news in world history?
2-Must you give us the graphic
tidings of a major battle in one
breath and talk on corn plasters
or washing powders in the next?
3-Does it never strike you that
the height of anti-climax is to follow
a dispatch from the tragic fields
off Belgium with an immediate
boosting of somebody's catch-penny
merchandise?
4-Have you ever listened and felt
the revulsion that comes when the
fellow who gives the stirring de-
scription of the war for the world
shifts abruptly into gloridcation
of peanut butter or a shaving soap?
5-Don't you think, really, now,
old fellow, that it jars the great
unpitied audience to be flung abrupt
ly from the European carnage and
all its significance into a blurb for
a baked bean?
Care radio listeners people?
7-And, if so, don't they deserve
break?
8-Do you think Otis T. Whihe,
bending over his radio set, de-
pressed and startled by a hair
raising account of the fall of a cit
adel of civilization, likes to hear the
announcer suddenly bark, "Did you
feel low, tired, out of sorts this

morning? Then 60 to your nearest
grocer and ask for Twihums, the
super cereal.?
9-Do you think that what is going
on in Europe can possibly have any,
thing in common with what is going
on in the American cosmetics,
hosiery, pickle or canned soup in
dustries?
10-Don't you SILVER at all when
you hear Namur, st. Quentin, Mons
and Louvain mentioned in the same
breath with nail polish, wheatcakes,
headache pills and somebody's soda
pop?
11-What would you think if a
newspaper gave you the first three
paragraphs of an account of a des-
perate clash in the war of wars and
then inserted three paragraphs tell
ing how Spifedorfer' Sausages
were the peer of all sausages the
world over?
12-What would you think if the
caption under a newspaper picture
of shell-torn village was followed
by few lines of eulogy for a liver
pill, So watch or a dog biscuit?
13-What do you think are the re-
actions of radio fan who finds a
chewing gum or cooking grease
being lauded by the same voice that
has just broadcast breath-taking
war communicates?
14-Look into this matter, will va,
please? It's got us throwing things

Reading an English novel,
I often wonder whether
I'll get through without a single

Reading the sporting pages,

RFC LOAN TO BRAZIL

The sinister spectre of Nazi-
Fascist activities in South America
finally has clinched the long-delayed
plan for U. S.-Brazilian steel plant
tapping the rich mineral resources
of Minas-Geraes.
Jesse Jones' RFC has agreed to
lend $40, 100000 to the Brazilian gov
eminent, perhaps increase this fig
ure to SIT, 900 if necessary. The
Brazilian government is to match
the U. S. contribution and hire the
United States Steel to construct ard
operate the plant.

Russia's entry into the war on
the side of the allies would be OF
more immediate value than the
United States. Automatically il
would bring Turkey into the war, a
bad blow for Italy; also it would
bring in Rumania and Jugoslavia on
the side of the allies.
Whether Russia will do this re-

question that Stain is on the spot.

RIGHT MEN IN RIGHT PLACE

BOSTON, MASS. - In the new
blitzkrieg world every other demo-
cratic country can change it's lead
ership as often as it thinks advis-
able. This is necessity of democ-
racy at war that we have never be-
fore felt. When we elect a Presi-
dent we install a crew. They are in
for four years. Nothing short of a
revolution or catastrophe can get
them out. We may have elected
them for one purpose, and another
may appear. If it does, we have
no escape.

ALLIES AND RUSSIA

Secret negotiations are now in
progress to break the alliance be-
tween Stain and Hitler, bringing
Russia into closer relations-per-
haps even a semi-alliance with
Great Britain.
No. 1 secret negotiator is Eduard
Benes, ex-president of Czecho-
Slovakia, always close friend of
Russia. He is now in Moscow, hav-
ing been sent there by the British
government to see what he could
patch up on their behalf.
No. 2 negotiator is Sir Stafford
Grips, left winger.
What will come out of Ambassa-
dor Grips visit remains to be seen,
but two significant items we're pub
lished recently in the official Soviet
newspaper Izvestia.
One praised the conduct of the
allied armies in France. The other
pointed out that the Nazis might not
win the war so easily, since the al
lies had big American resources be-
hind them.
Note-Obviously Uncle Joe Stain
remembers the page in "Mein
Kampf' in which Hitler plans the
conquest of the lush plains of south
ern Russia.
1t is important to note that Sir
Stafford Grips, although one of the
wealthiest lawyers in England, is
definitely left-wing, much further
left than the British Labor party.
Sir Stafford got into this new and,
for him, strange role as a result of
a trip last winter to Chungking,
China. There the Soviet govern
ment took him by plane to Moscow,
where he talked with Foreign Minis
ter Molotoff.
One of the questions was, "Under
what conditions would you agree to
collaborate with the allies?"
AIRPLANE PRODUCTION
Here are the confidential figures
on the number of fighting planes the
allies have ordered from each U. S.
factory, but remain undelivered:
Lockheed, LOO; Martin, $50; Cur
tiss, 500; Douglas, $50; North Amer
lean, 400.
These, given in round figures,
make a total of $500 planes still
undelivered. The production of
planes themselves is increasing con-
stantly, but the bottleneck still re-
n, zinc oirp1opo rootorc
American aviation moguls say
that the United States will never get
lot Of planes in hurry until the
heads of the six chief aviation COM
panies are locked in a room and
forced to agree that each will manu-
facture one type of plane only. This
would achieve the Standardization
that Henry Ford has been talking
about.
Another speeder-up would be to
manufacture less well-built plane.
American planes are the best in the
world-last for years-but war
planes don't last long anyway.
American manufacturers estimate
that they could double their output
by decreasing quality 10 per cent.
Note-The aviation industry is so
bottlenecked that one well-placed
2,000-pound bomb dropped on the
Pratt-Whitney engine plant in Hart
ford, Conn.,, could paralyze airplane
production for weeks.
