Chris Paula forced him to
meet her gaze, "are you going
back on your promise to me?
About the League, l mean? Be-

He twisted away from the
question. For Pete sake, Pau

thing you don't understand"
"Okay, Chris, I don't" She
CLOSED over her hurt with hard,
brittle words. From now on
won't bother yol!
Paula ran blindly out of the
Sweetland before Chris could see
the rush of hot tears to her eyes.
Back at the Gamma Tau house
she went to the telephone and
called Tony.
"Tve changed my mind,
Tony" she told him. I'm going
to the party with YOU"
But, Paulie, what about
Chris"
Chris Chris" Paula almost
sobbed. I'm sick of playing
guardian angel to a grown man."
Late Thursday aftern o o n
Paula took her last examination.
She went straight to bed and
slept until morning. When she
awakened she was aware of a
new atmosphere pervading the
campus. The furious period of
concentration was over. Groups
of students lounged in the warm
sunshine, their chatter and
laughter drifting lazily in her
window on the breeze.
Ordinarily Paula would have
seized these gay. relaxed hours
to 90 on a lark with Chris and
Tony. but the last few weeks
had changed everything. Glumly
she settled down in her room
with q book.

PAULA GOES TO A PARTY
CHAPTER VIII

Back at the house Paula tried
in vain to study. Her mind was
whirling. She thought, "If ]
could only talk things over with
someone. With Tony :"
She told herself she mustn't
pile her troubles on Tony, but
it was no use. She felt she had
to see him. She went downstairs
and called his house.
Enthusiastically he asked no
questions; he said simply, I'll
be right over Paulie."
The porch was deserted when
Tony arrived. Paula brought out
cushions and they sat on the
steps. Lights from the dormitory
windows patterned the n & h t
with warm, yellow rectangles.
An immense solitude seemed
to hold the campus, and Paula
and Tony, too. They shared it,
reluctant to break the silence,
Paula sharply aware of the diff
ference between silence with
Tony and silence with Chris.
1t was Paula who ally
spoke: "Kilo Sherwood paid me
a visit tonight"
A match flared briefly as Tony
lighted his pipe. She saw in that
moment the seriousness of his
lean face.
IN ot h in & melodramatic,

"A little" Paula said with
forced laugh: Either l send
Chris back to the League, mean
ing herself, or she'll use some
hold she has on him."
Don't be too sure she won't"
Tony advised. She's a clever
gal She's used to getting what
she wants."
That's why I called you,
Tony. What shall l do?"
About all you can do, Paulie,
Is keep a tight rein on Chris"
1T seems so silly to be fussing
this way over a grown man."
Paula said, and was instantly
ashamed.

all his friends phone numbers
and addresses.) Because he sue
ceeded the extremely warm and
well-liked Admirals Yarnell and
Leahy, W-.shington was at first
inclined to consider Admiral
Stark rather cold. But officers
who know him are quick TO con-
tradict this.
Though he Is separated from
his men by the barrier Of gold
braid, their affection for him is
evident. At sea he always called
q new man into his cabin and
had q heart-to-heart talk with
him, before telling him his du-
ties. II like to let my men know
that we're all in the same ship,
and that we 60 up or down to-
gether," he explained.
LOVE OF SEA is
ROMANTIC KIND
He is not much interested in
social life here, and whenever
he can get away from sweltering
Washington in summer. he hops
into a seaplane and flies to his
cottage at Lake Carey, Pa,
which Is about 40 miles from his
childhood home at Wilkes Barre.
Over its door is the blackboard
of the dismantled u. S. S.
Brooklyn (once his flagship). It's
usually surprise visit and he
explains it: II was wild to row
a boat" His wife was Katherine
Rhoades, Wilkes arr neighbor
who played with him when he
was a child and went sailing
with him in summer holidays. He
has two daughters, both married.
Today Admiral Stark's hours
are filled with talk of steel, pro-
pellors, engines and oil, but his
love of the sea is the romantic
stout-oak- and-canvas kind. When
he wss graduated from Annap-
oils, he asked for duty aboard
the last windjammer in Navy
service.
Even today his tannel face re-
lakes when he talks, with the
speed of the wind, about sailing
ships. There's something thrill
ing about sailing that you can
get your teeth into" he says. In
a reminiscent mood he tells of
the thrill he got out of taking the
helm of keel boat that belonged
to Secretary of the Navy Adams.
1T was like driving a thorough
bred horse"
His love of sailboats, however,
does not etract from his respect
for battleships. He is on the
battleship side of the ship plane
controversy, but thinks of the
navy as unit. Paraphrasing Ad-
miral Mahan's famous remark,
he says, "A navy is composed of
men, ships and bases. and the
most important of these are men,
ships and bases"
II got my first love of sailing
as a boy" says Admiral Stark.
That was my reason for going
to Annapolis" AS a middle,
Betty" Stark rowed on the
varsity crew and did a lot of
swimming. He's still fond of
the sport and when he's sea
duty, he often wakens his aides
early for an hour pre-greakfast
swim.

Near East has brought about a

directed by Nazi agents in Northern
Iran and an attempt to excite Turk

pansion at the expense OF Moscow,
authoritative quarters said today.
The ArmenianS were said to be
agents and small amounts of arms
diverted from Nazi shipments to
the Iran government. Military OBJ
servers believed the primary reason
for this German activity was TO
attract fifth column recruits who
would be assigned to protect the
Baku Oil fields from the Russian

Russia. it was reported. Turkish
opinion was said to be strongly op-

which might obligate the country
to one or the other side of the
European conflict.
The Turkish government has been
informed that the Nazis have
promised the dissident Armenians
a greater Armenia to be created
after the Russian German war. This
new Armenia would include some
territory now Turkish, it was said.
Diplomatic dispatches from Iran
indicate that several hundred Nazis
are active in the Armenian cam
paign. Women and children of
German colonies in Iran have been
evacuated, it was reported. and GER
