The world was filled with girls,
Linda unused. Some were like Sa'

man for the lure of the conquest.
Some. Not too many, though. And
they were redeemed by the Caro-

wouldn't because they must be
sure that there was no pity, nc ex-

With the knowledge Linda felt
strong and comforted. She and

She studied Caroline's eager,
wistful face carefully. Have you

aren't they beautiful?"
you're pretty enough, Caroline,

You were. I can see it. Mr.. Bag

you think mass production occurs
only in heavy industry, then take
the case of Arthur j. Burks, the
WritingeSt man ever to wear
marines uniform.
AS he explained it today his
technique is as astonishing as the
quantity of copy he delivers to
editors of pulp magazines.
Il can't plot a story" he said.
II think up a title and start with
that. Then one word follows an
other-like a couple of drunks ar
guing-until I've reached the length
the editor ordered. 1 can time 1t
off exactly. And pulp writer's can't
have moods-it's like painting a
wall
BY this method Burks has turned
out as many as three StorieS-a
total of 1000 words-and sold
them all in one day His output for
nearly decade was 100000 words
annually, but he's slowed down to
100000 now He has made as
high as $4,000 a year.
The stocky, broad-cheSted author
explained that he wrote every
thing for the pulps except love
and western stories" That includ-
ed. he said, fantastic, uncanny,
weird, ghost, horror and adven-

Shoemaker Accused of Chasing
Census.Taker Out of His Store

HARVARD. Ill, March 7. CUP)-
James Rosselli 25O-pound shoemak-
er, said today his objection to the
federal business census was based
ON the manner in which questions
were put to him, rather than with
the questions.
I'd answer census questions when
they are put polite explained Ros-
selli, accused in a federal warrant
of refusal to answer census ques-
tons and chasing the census-t -taker
out of his Kenosha. Wis, shoe re-
pair shop
RoSSell, who also owns a shop
here, said he would return to Ken
oSha and that everything can be ex-
plain One of the explanations he
would give, he said, was that he did
not chase the census -taker.
L walk out or him, YES. I 90
across street to my store, yes. But
I don't chase him"
Meanwhile, Rosselli's attorney.
Charles A. Lepp, said his client
would surrender voluntarily to a U.
S commissioner at Milwaukee to-
morrow.
The warrant against Rosselli was
issued by U. S. Commissioner Floyd
jenkins at Milwaukee late YES
terday on complaint of the census
taker, who charged that Rosselli
didn't want to answer any of the
questions and finally took after me

He read into the record a letter

In his spare time, and he has
quite bit of that considering the
speed at which he works, Burks

articles for famous people, handles
publicity for other authors or plays
golf.
Burks, whose home was in Water
ford, Wash, joined the marines
when he was 10. One day he read
magazine article on how to start
a syndicate" and decided to en-
bark on writing career.
His first sale, which netted him
$500 was to the Boys Weekly
published in Nashville, Tenn. He
wrote 1000 words a day because
he had once heard that would help
him. But in two years he received
only $734 while spending $i9 in
sending his material TO editors
throughout the country.
Then his work began to improve
until in 1926 Gen. Smedley Butler
his commanding officer, suggested
that Burks resign and devote all
his time to writing because he was
making more money with his type
writer than Butler was with the
marines.
Two years later BurkS resigned
and since has spent all his time
writing. In 20 years he has sole
about 83 per cent of all he has
written to approximately 200 pumps
Burks has had some amusing
experiences with editors.
Once an editor of a new pulI
magazine wanted some manuscripts
I told him to look through the
trunk. Finally he came out with
a bundle and after balancing them
in his hands he said: Il guess they
weigh enough and walked out. He
didn't bother to read them. 1 re-
ceived check several days later
but 1 didn't find out what stories
he had taken until they appeared
in the magazine.
Another time an editor suggested
that Burks write a 45,000-Woro
manuscript but take little time
with it." He turned it out in the
usual three-day period, held it fol
a week and then took it to the
editor. After he read it, he reported
to Burks:
"A vast improvement. Haven't l
been telling you that if you would
spend more time your stories would
be better?'

 Within Italy Mussoni will meet resentment against actual military alignment with Germany The Italians have ever distrusted and dsliked the Germans Supposedly King Victor Emmanuel is opposed to such alance as Mussoln has now made A Catholic nauon cannot fight wholehearted- ly by the side of ruthless dictatorship allied with communistic Russia. And there must be in Italy, despite the controlled press and spoon-fed deaoges far-m minded people who can still compare the prin ciples of the Allies and the Nazs, to the disad- vantage of the latter These roots of dissatisfaction within Italy are further imperative reasons for Mus solini to hope for quick victory Dragging the people into unpopular will mean the end for him unless he wins almost at once.
 Ialys move is, of course, another great fact for
 the people of the United States to consider Insofar it contributes to the downfall of England and France contributes to own national uneasiness. We want England and France to win this war Prob ably we want it to the extent that we would take an active part in the conflict to insure such an out come, Certainly this nation will fight if the dicta- torships attempt to push their conquest into the American possessions of the Allies
 England and France are not beaten yet The  most powerful striking force in the history of the world toward Paris. All of the democra- cies potential allies in Europe have been isolated. German U-boats menace the British Navy taking almost daily toll in vessels and lives The new air weapon strikes repeated blows at the cities of France and may be poised for a terrific assault upon the British Isles. These dark days for the Allies, probably the darkest iii England's his tory. And still the war is not lost I
 Even if Italy should drive the Allies out of the Mediterranean, if the Germans should tane Paris and overrun the rest of France, if the British Isles themselves should be invaded successfully and the British and French fleets destroyed, still the war would not be lost For the stake of the democracies this conflict is great the principles for which they fight dear to their people that they will contest every inch of the battlefield around the world. And the might of England and France, even should Europe be lost is still great enough to enable them to win in time of the world battle especially since their soldiers are armored in righteousness and armed with justice

The German drive on Paris
was slowed down early this week
by the French army under it's
new boss and using a new style
of combat invented by him on
the field-the quicksand defense.
However, the real obstacle that
slowed down the Hitler armies
doubtless was the magnificent
and desperate courage of the
French soldier equalled by none
but the German he has retreateG,
outnumbeed and out armed but
he exacted his price-German
losses have been fearful and are
irreplacable for manpower and
machines are strictly limited,
Every day the allies can stave
off the Germans the greater
ultimate chances OF victory and
Hitler knows this and is burning

dous rate. With Italy in the war
