from SLIP to $1.6s, but you're getting three times as mttch muilk!
 We'll, quarts or kilowatt-hours of electricity are more than 60 per cent cheaper than they were in 1920, but then you used electricity just for lighting your house. You've probably been adding a lot of swell electrical appliances since then. You've got a radio, a re- frigerator, a washing machine, a toaster, an electric iron, 8 vacuum cleaner and maybe an electric clock, a waffle iron, a heating pad and some other things that you and your family like plenty.
 Sure your electric bill has gone up, but you're getting taCo or three times as npGcb electricity. And the cost is 60 per cent less than 1t would have been in 1920.

 Assign Sunday Jobs
 Tn addition to releasing cards on Sunday, the Germans attempted to reduce church attendance by as- signing men to trivial jobs on the Sabbath. Children were told that Sunday morning outings were obi- gatory. When the children contin- ued to attend church, the Germans tried to lure them to movie houses which suddenly appeared through cut the countryside and offered special attractions on Sunday. This trick also failed so miserably that the Germans were obliged to exert their pressure on the priests them selves.
 Their reluctance to victimize priests and nuns too openly is un- derstandable. Yet, desperately striv- ing to form the young French mind in the Nazi mould, they have not hesitated to descend to the basest eXceSSeS,

 The Nazis have also tried to blind French eyes to this religious per- secutlon by blaming the church for Frances trouble. One of their tricks Is to distribute ration cards on Sunday morning when every- one is normally at mass; those who do not come until later receive no cards.
 Locked Church Door
 Near Dieuze, the police on one occasion tried to prevent a funeral procession from entering a church by locking the door and announc- ing that burials must occur with out religious ceremony. The peas- ants in the procession did not ar- que; they calmly went home, re- turned with axes and smashed in the church door.
 At Chateau Salins, the Gestapo again tried to abolish religious cservices by locking the church. The offlciating priest refused to be intimidated; he entere d by side door, forced the main entrance, rang the tower bells and started his sermon before the huge congrega- ton: This is my church, and after my God and my Bishop, I am mas ter here.' He spoke in French, which is strictly forbidden by the

ACTION DEMANDED
 BY POLICE BOARD.
Motor Patrol Ordered to Enforce Anti-Speed
 Laws

Chairman William J. Verriker asked for action to have the motor patrol squad clamp down motorists in strict enforcement of the speed laws at yesterday afternoons meeting of the police board. The recent aldermanic board vote was introduced to the commissioners asking them to instruct the police department to patrol the city for violators.
 The vote of the aldermen was turned over by the board to Super itendent of Police William J. Roach for action Deputy Police Supt. Daniel J. Carson said the po- licemen now were making every effort to see that the city speed limits of 25-miles an hour are complied with.
 It was pointed out by Comsr. Martin Sullivan that 25 per cent of motorists arrested for violation of the motor vehicle laws were those for speeding.
 Deputy Supt. Carson said he would bring the attentlon or the superintendent of the police to this matter.
 The deputy also said he would take the complaints on new traffic light installed at East Main stret and Wolcott street to the attention of experts on lighting so that traf. flc unnecessarily delayed at the intersection may be expedited by study of a different arrangement of timing.
 Promotion of Patrolman James Jordan from Grade B to a Grade A rank was made. This automatic ally increases the pay of the officer by 25 cents a day Officer Jordan has been in the department for two years and the promotion is re- troactive as of Oct. 2.

 300 Priests Expelled
 Other facts about resistance to Nazi religious persecution have come from Lorraine in France. More than 300 priests in this region alone have been expelled-and so uncompromising have they been in refusing to collaborate with their conquerors that the vast city of Metz has only three priests today The densely populated districts of Chateau Salina and Dieuze are now served by one or two travelling missionaries"
 The Gestapo has busted nuns from their convents throughout the occupied countries and has at- tempted to persuade them to teach in Germany. The attitude of the nuns toward this Nazi ultimatum is summed up best by the simple statement of Franciscan Sister who managed to escape back to France after being sent into the Reich.

 electricity costs 60 per cent less today than in 1920. People just laugh when l try to tell them that.
 The whole trouble is that you can't see kilowatt-hours of cleo tricity like you can see quarts of milk.
 Now you, Joe - you buy milk for your family. Let's say you pay 16 cents a quart and you get seven quarts a week. Your bill for milk is SLIP. Now supposing your milk man cuts the price from 16 cents to 8 cents a quart - that's a 50 per cent reduction. But right after that your wife has twins and you have to buy twenty-one quarts a week. Your bill goes up to $1.68.

what I know Of that rainy April
night and you can then Judge for
yourself. AS you know I have an
interest in large drug company
here in the East, and for several
years had been watching this
man Starr very closely. No question
about it, the man was a bit of a
genius. There had been rumors
for a long time that he had at last
worked out new drug as revolu-
tionary in its way as sulfanilamide.
Every drug company of any i'm
portance in the country was tryi.g
In every way to get him to COM
mercialize it-mine among the rest"
Charles, his eyes on tie fire, lis
tened in brooding silence which
he did not break while his brother
was speaking.
Il knew Joseph Starr and count
ed on our friendship to help me in
reaching him. I knew you we're
very friendly with his wife, but
nothing like that made any impress
sion on Starr. He was hard man.
determined to keep the thing he had
created. I can't say that I blame
him. If reports I heard were true,
there was great fortune tied up
in his discovery, for it amounted to
just that in the medical world.
Finally I decided that I would
go to Kansas City and see if I
could get to him there. For three
days 1 cooled my heels in a hotel.
Starr simply would not see me.
Then, the night of your dinner, I
suddenly thought I would try one
last maneuver. I would 60 to his
laboratory where we all knew he
worked night after night, appear at
his door and at least make him talk
to me. If he couldn't say yes he
would have to say no
Il took taxi, dismissed the cab
on the street in front of the house
and walked along the driveway of
the Starr mansion, guided by light
burning in one wing which I rightly
took for his laboratory. I felt
little foolish. creeping up to the
house in this manner, but did not
want any of the servants to see me
or stop me before I saw Starr. I
kept in the shadows until I reached
that window and found myself look
ing into his consulting office"
A log slipped in the crate and
sputter of fame cracked sharply
in the silent room. Charles watch
ing his brother with frightened eyes
never moved. He sat like a man in
daZe.
LAS I looked into the room. I saw
a woman bending over a man
sprawled over a desk. He had been
shot. Blood was running down his
face from wound in his temple.
The mans right arm hung down,
his fingers nearly touching a pistol
which lay just beneath them,
seemingly fallen from his hand The
woman tried to help him. Frozen
with horror myself, I instinctively
knew that was futile. I knew Jo-
seph Starr was dead.
In a few terrible minutes I
