Tony Decides To Get Douglas

mean your red-haired friend the other night, can tell you"
 "How?" Tony stared at him in amazement.
 The bartender looked around before he spoke. "She beat it out the back way and scrammed up the road. Those two guys = you know who I mean went after her. They wanted to scare her into keeping her mouth shut. They just about caught her ways up the road when she was picked up by a guy in a little car. He was just driving down the road"
 Tony scowled. "I'd like to lay my hands on the guy. He sure upset my cart"
 "Joe recognized his car," the bartender said casually, resuming his polishing. Yellow roadster with wire wheels. Goes by here lot. Belongs to that government flying instructor out to the air. port"
 "DouglasP" Tony asked, an ugly light in his eyes. Don't know his name, the bartender said.
 Tony thought for a moment Dick Douglas drove a yellow roadster with wire wheels.
 That's the second time that guy messed things up for mel"
 For long moment he sat lost in thought. At last he spoke again tc the bartender, leaning across the bar and speaking in confidential tone.
 Harry, get hold of Jumps Daley for me. Know where he might be?'
 q could find out"
 Find him, and have him meet me here. It's important"
 Tony's expression wasn't pleas ant as he added I'm going tt get that guy Douglas if it's tht last thing I dol" (To Be Continued)

WOMEN MUST AID
 IN DEMOCRACY

Storrs, Conn.,, July 23.-(UP)- Home economies Prof. Edith Masol, believed today that women must learn to play an increasingly impor- tant role in the preservation Of de- mocracy.
 During a panel discussion of the university's farm and home week program, she declared we are be- ginning to realize that we cannot look forward to as easy a world in the next 10 years as in the last 10, Something must be sacrificed. And we are learning that we cannot live hit-or-miss. The privileges of de- mocracy and the privileges that we women have won for ourselves entail responsibilities also"
 Mrs. Howard Peck, Old Mystic who took part in the discussion, said eve must make sure to consider democracy as a mode of life, not merely as a political concept"
 Another speaker, Mrs. Daniel Doody, North Branford, was critical of modern teaching methods which failed to cultivate spirit of patri- otimn among children.
 "As youngsters" she said, "they are not too much impressed with the sacrifices their forefathers made"
 She proposed greater emphasis bt placed on the romance of history and the hardships of early American life.

CHAPTER VIII

That Anne's alert mind, her poiSe, and her ease, were to be of 1mmeas- urable help in making pilot of her, Captain Douglas knew during her next instruction period, a few days later. He had feared that the dis dressing events of the Villa Aloha incident might still be worrying her and would affect her reactions to flight training. But, if she were worrying, she did not show it.
 Can you name these instru- ments for me?" he asked after they were in the cockpit, safety belts securely fastened.
 1T believe I can" Pointing to them, each in turn, Anne reclted: Magnetic compass, air speed 1n- dicator, turn and bank indicator, rate of climb indicator, altimeter, tachometer, and" she hesitated for c moment-"clock,"
 She brought out the last very impressively as though identifying 1t were a great achievement, and they both laughed.
 Fine, Dick complimented her. "And the name of each of these explains its purpose, except the tachometer. What is it?"
 "Oh, I really read up on that" Anne laughed. Tt measures the revolutions per muinte of the air. plane engine"
 Good. These are the instru- ments you'll use to get your ln- strument rating from the Civil Aeronautics Authority, but your directions gyro and your artificial horizon also are standard equip ment."
 'ysnt blind flying, instrument flyiug?" Anne asked. ,,
 'Yes," was the answer. you'll learn lot more about these later Now let's see about the controls"
 The plane was still on the line its engine not yet running. DICK Douglas lightly grasped the stick ana put his foot on the rudder bar as he instructed Anne.
 F, Get the feel of these, as put pressure on them"
 Her own right hand sought the stick before her, and she stretched her smartly clad feet to the rud- der. ...,,
 "As I push the stick forward. and he gently pushed it away from him. it depresses the elevators and the nose of the plane goes down. Move it back, and the nose lifts. Move it to the right or left and 1t operates the ailerons. These control the lateral balance of the plane ,as you saw in your first

an excellent way to remind the

Contending the use of radio for
this purpose as "very harmful to
