Hans stuck his head under the
table that crossed the doorway and
called to them. 1--WE be through
with coffee. Time for trains"
They dueked out into the main
room again, coming face to face
with Ives. His deep set eyes were
staring straight ahead, focused
somewhere into the depths Of his
own mind, He did not seem to see
the two men as he stopped and
disappeared into the dispatcher's
room.
Laurence, Hans, King and Spi-
nelli each took one side Of the big
room. There was a stool for each,
facing the track. and telephone
with headset. Marcia looked over
Kings shoulder. Susan and the pro-
fessor were rowing spectators, with
the professor in general charge Of
traffic.
Henry Potter, curious to see
what grown men found so fascinat-
ing in this hobby, took up a posi-
ton beside Laurence.
The young man pointed to a
clock in front of him. Its speeded
up to scale time. Here we go!"
The center lights in the big room

in kind Of twilight. Signal lights
along the railway began to burn

TO TRAIN WOMEN

The National Farm Youth Founda-

women between II and rs years OF
age in an effort to train replace
ments for men called from the farm
into military service or Industrial
defense tasks. Heretofore the Foun

explained. "Since It opens out Of
the main room the canvas doesn't
interfere"
Henry ducked under the table
an easy maneuver because Of the
tables unusual height, and found
himself with Laurence in a small
adjoining room. 1t seemed to have
no other entrance. There was not
even a window. Only furniture was
large desk In the middle Of the
floor, with an elaborate built-in
switchboard on its sloping top
and OF course the chair that went
with the desk.
This used to be a storeroom,"
Laurence explained. I'VE cut a
hole In the bottom Of the door and
installed an electric fan for VEN
tllation. This is where the train
dispatcher works"
why shut him of in here?'
Laurence grinned. Half the fun
Of model railroading is in operating
the trains as they would be done
by a full-scale railroad. A regular
train dispatcher doesn't see his
trains. Neither does ours. The
lights on this control board tell
him where the trains are, and the
various club members in the main
room send him orders by telephone.
The dispatcher operates all the
switches and locomotives according
to telephoned orders and the oper-
ating schedule that has been set
up for the night. He's got to be on
his toes, because he's responsible
in case OF accident"
"And John Ives Is going to be
dispatcher tonight He doesn't
seem to At into my idea OF a model
railroader."
Laurence frowned. He doesn't.
He and Stanley King are poison to
each other"
Then why does he come here ?"
Il think he joined the club to
keep an eye on the banker"
Henry felt a chill creeping up
his spine. He thought OF the revolt
yer. He wasn't exactly a coward,
but suppose Ives were bent on
murder?
What's Ives business ?" he
asked hesitantly.
I've heard he used to be a bank
er, too"
Maybe they had some business
trouble ."

or If they did it wasn't considered
noteworthy.
'How about having coffee before
you run the trains?" Marcia sug-
gested. IT brought three quarts in
a thermos jug. 1t will keep hot, but
it always tastes better fresh"
Good idea," agreed Spinelli.
I'D like to see Susan pouring cof-
fee. Domestic, you know"
Marcia shifted. That's a laugh"
Professor Bisbee came to Su-
sans defense. He put an arm
around her shoulders. Il wouldn't
be surprised to see Susan pouring
coffee regularly one of these days
Good old American custom, my
dear. Won't be hard to catch a nice
American boy to pour for"
Henry noticed the accent on
American and wondered if the pro-
fessor, too. disliked Spinelli.
Hans lifted the thermos jub to a
place on the table that was not
covered with railroad tracks. Mar
cia produced coffee cups.
I'm sorry my wife couldn't come
with the usual refreshments" said
the professor. 1T was too stormy
for her. I'm sure you'll all forgive
her"
Il will, Professor" said Susan
coquetishly, because now I'll have
q better chance to get acquainted
with you"
There she goes again." shifted
Stanley King. That's what coll
lege education does for you. Oh for
the life of a professor!"
II thought" said John Ives in a
cold voice, that this was a model

arm, still around Susans shoulder.
The professor withdrew it grHltily. /"

King. What a change since the old
days! I can remember you when"
John Ives held up a hand. His
dark eyes pierced the others. I'VE
both have pasts that should be for
gotten-and forgiven"
The banker colored. That's a
matter Of opinion"
"A matter of factl"
Il don't think I'll drink any cof-
fee" Laurence Hardness informed
them quietly. IF you don't mind
have bit Of sketching to finish"
I'D like to watch you," Henry
told him quickly.
There!' exclaimed Susan, re-
preaching the somber Ives. "See
what you've done-made two per-
fectly nice men Disguised with US.
Why do we have to quarrel? Come
on, let Marcia pour the coffee.
After all, she brought It,"
But Laurence and Henry already

WASHINGTON, May "a.

On April 80 the committee re-

The poll showed a majority OF
the committee formally undecided

proposal. Ten senators who publicly
stated their position, divided equal

others indicated a Is to 10 majority
