gently. 1--WE aren't partners. I just

Kit felt distinctly uncomforta-

with Lars Anderson ?" Lars was
the drummer who cherished an
honest passion for Fran and her
cookery.
Fran bit her underlip and was
silent. But not for long. She said,
Look, Kit, we're on the subject
now and we might as well have it
out. Whether 1 have lots of dates

Fran paid no heed to Kits words

Kit ran her fingers through her

Ferry Pilots Trained

Aviation School
Flyers Finishing Course
In Albuquerque Can Earn
$4,000 q Year
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, July
26.-On the barren, sandy wastes ot
mesas overlooking this Rio Grande
town there has muShroomed new
kind of aerial college, symbolic Of
the Nations determination to speed
delivery of its bombers to Britain.
It is the Eagle Nest Flight Center
4 subsidiary formed by Transconti-
mental & Western Air, Inc, at the
War Departments request.
To the school from all over the
Nation come pilots with a minimum
of 750 flying hours. Here they un-
dergo tensive postgraduate
schooling that will qualify them as
pilots. co-piiots and navigators for
the Atfero Corp. of Montreal.
Base pay for ferry pilot is $l,50O
q month. Under a bonus system, q
pilot can earn as much as $4,000 a
year.
But Capt Otis Bryan, former
Army flyer and T. w. A. chief pilot
who is general manager of the Eagle
Nest, says the pay isn't the chief
reason the school is lining up more
applicants than it can handle.
"Some of these men have left good
airline jobs and other good-paying
Jobs to get type of instruction in
big ship plotting which is not avail
able anywhere else in the country"
Capt. Bryan commented.
The school began instructions a
month ago and the first crop of
ferry pilots will be turned out short
ly. A few students failed to meet
requirements and were washed out.
An official desire for secrecy pre-
vented Bryan and T. w. A. Presi-
dent Jack Frye from commenting

for publication on much pertinent
information, including number of
students in training and number OF
types of airplanes in use.
But it was no secret that the
Nations hottest, most modern"
planes have been and will be made
available to the school; that it is
hoped ultimately to turn out 100
ferry pilots month; and that,
when the peak is reached, flyers
here will be doing about half as
much flying as it done on all the
vast T. w. A. System.

 Although 1t is only dimly perceived as yet by most Americans, the United States has become the backbone of the whole worlds hopes for freedom. It is obligation we have not sought duty we do not want. Yet if the world community is to escape thralldom under the totatarian despots, 1t will be because the resources, the skill and the unfaltering courage of the American people are thrust into the scales in the present struggle.
 One of the evidences of Americas role of leader ship is a and exceedingly interesting magazine, called Free World It is published at New York in English. It will be published in Spanish somewhere in South America And a Chinese edition will be published in Chungking
 The editorial board of Free World includes thoughtful and women of dozen countries, leaders in the tmeess struggle for freedom. Its contributors from many lands and many dis tinguished among them
 The magazine itself is a notable enterprise.

DEFENSE IN SWINGTIME

Apparently having learned few tricks from the motion pictures and radio programs which pop uarize themselves through theme songs, the U. s. Treasury Department is doing alright for itself along musical lines.
 Latest tuneful wrinkle in the national fiscal offices is the promotion of the popular song and dance hit, Any Bonds Today?" which is being swung by various patriotic dance bands all over the nation as a step in the campaign to sell more De- fense Savings Bonds.
 In a style in keeping with the importance of the U. S. treasury the Morgenthau Music House is really going to town with it's financial compo- sition. Famed Irving Berlin wrote the song a theme song for the Defense Savings Program and the best orchestras in the country are making photographic recordings of the piece
 Most recent development in the swingtime sales program of the House of Morgenthau is agree ment of the Automatic Monograph Manufacturers Association and representatives of all major record ing companies with the objective of having Any Bonds TodayP" placed in the No. l position on every of the 100000 juke boxes in the country.
 So the patrons of roadhouses, taverns and small cafes where most of the music boxes are located, have a choice of the music accompany ing this harmonious sales campaign at least three record companies have already placed recordings of the piece on the market, On the Decca record, the Berlin patriotic number is played by the Decca Band and features the singing Of Dick Robertson. On a Victor record, the selection is sung by Barry Wood, who first popuarized the piece by singing it on the Treasury Hour a nationwide Mor- genthau broadcast. Columbia record pre- sents Any Bonds Today?' played by the Kay Kyser orchestra.
 So far remember this is the first time piece of music has been used directly to sell government bonds. Undoubtedly the stirring strains of "Over There" in World War I helped lot indirectly to sell Liberty Bonds, and you'll member that Irving Berlin also was the song writer of that theme song of the first international flict.
 This same Irving Berlin of course, was also the

 HEART AND HOME: There is a fairly good sway for women while this configuration prevails, but they should beware of small deceits and trifling aims.

Romance will be epidemic as war influences extend and men in uni form make exits for new stations. Clubs will now contribute greatly to the practical efforts of women in defense work Bond selling will assume extraordinary importance before the holidays and much money will be deflected from Christmas buying which never theless will be generous.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Concentra- tion of power in the President will arouse anxiety in view of possible illness or even sudden use of ex- traordinary authority.

AMERICA FIRsTs ORDERS

Inside, reason for the secret pow WOW of Congressional isolationists, the day after the Presidents special message, was to get the party line cue from the America First Com mittee on how to vote on arming merchant ships.
 The information was delivered by John T. Flynn, the committees prin- cipal mouthpiece on Capitol Hill. Flynn didn't cut any corners in lay ing down the line against any change in the Neutrality law.
 "A vote to arm merchant ships" he declared, "is vote to get this country into war. The America First Committee is opposed to this or any other revision of the Neutrality Act
 All but one of the sixty Senate and House members present either concurred or kept silent Amazingly the, one dissenter was one of Am erica First;s most vociferous support ers- Representative Ham Fish. The New York declared he favored arm ing merchantmen, provided they remain in neutral waters"
 Another conflict arose when Sen- ator Robert Taft of Ohio, who acted as chairman, announced that he planned to vote for the $5,895 900 ,000 lend-lease bill. Senator Bob La- Toilette jumped to his feet.
 I'll have to take issue with you on that, MT. Chairman" snapped the Wisconsinite. T intend to op- pose every piece of legislation the Administration offers on foreign pol icy from now on They're all cal- culated to get us into war. I'm going to be against everything"
 That goes for me, too," loudly echoed Senator Bennett Clark, Mis- souri's bitter-end isolationist.
 NOTE: Among those who took a prominent part in arranging the isolationist pow-wow were Senators Nye, Bulow of South Dakota, Butler of Nebraska, Taft, LaFollette, Clark, and Representative Knute Hill of

 Later, it was Wiedemann and the moderates who persuaded Hitler to receive Chamberlain and Daladier at Munich. But by this time it was too late for Ambassador DieckhoIf to tell his story.
 Ribbentrop never forgave Wiede- mann for this. Also his vaunting ambition would permitno rival close to Hitler. So, shortly thereafter, he got Wiedemann transferred to a distant and relatively unimportant German consulate in U. s. A. Later when Wiedemann was deported from this country, it is significanct that Ribbentrop once again transferred him as far as possible from Berlin this time to Tientsin, China. He remained in Berlin only two or three days.
 The Foreign Minister of Germany wants no moderates. around his leader
 
 NOTE: During the last war Wiedemann was a lieutenant with the 18th Bavarian Infantry and one day, while retreating under fire, the debris of crumbling building fell on one of his men, burying him. The young lieutenant leaped back, and despite heavy shell fire, pulled the man out. He was Adolf Hitler. What would have happened to the world if it had not been for Wiede- mann's heroism?
