APRIL MEETS TROUBLE
CHAPTER TX

Now the thing to do was to
harden her heart.
April didn't look at Kent at
ter she stepped into the road
ster. TIE day was over, the
game ended. She had played
her part right up to the last
tag-line.
Tomorrow, Ann might come
home. If she did, April would
tell her what she had done and
make it perfectly clear why.
HE doesn't mean anything to
me-" she would say. II only
wanted to help you."
II Ann didn't return, there'd
be some way she, April could
avoid seeing Kent.
She began to think Of Ann,
Ann the gentle one, the sweet
one with the silver voice who'd
have her great chance tonight.
STEADY there" Kent advised
as the roadster rocked on the
red road.
"I'm trying to beat the Storm"
"For q minute it felt as If we
were headed for a spill"
"No, we just missed one"
She scanned the skyline.
Clouds were marching around
the tents of the hill, gray and
menacing. Funny" she said,
"how q day can start all sun
shine and then get to founder
ing around in clouds and dark
ness"
IF you'll overlook my being
lyrical, I could say 1t always
goes bright again"
For you it will" That was
safe to say. He could take it
the way he wanted. She must
keep everything impersonal be-
tween them, impersonal as the
weather. The speedometer
danced.

settled In a hard line and her
heart grew more stoney.
II feel like an oaf sitting here
while you are driving" Kent
said. II ought to be taking the
wheel for the trek home. It's
too much for you, Ann"
mot at all" She bit of the
words. II like it,"
The top was up but already
the first sweep of gale tore at
the side Of the car. Nip, the
wire-haired, snuggled close ut
April side. Kent hunched for
ward, straining as II he couldn't
bear his helplessness.
IF I could only see you for
one second" he said. II bet

your nose. ! like to look at you

said. I'm that way, we could
get immediate action and not
have our bills lie around in COM
mittees indefinitely"
BY substituting documented
papers" for public hearings,
Dies said 1--WE know exactly
what is going out and there
will be no danger of some wit
ness unwittingly making a state
ment which might be offending
to some person or another coun-
try"
He said that committee inves-
tigators have seized record
books of both Communists and
German-American Bunds which
could be assembled quickly in
pamphlet form.
A committee official report
ed that these documents includ-
ed minutes of bund meetings,
secret military instructions and
requests that Germans deal
with Germans always"
Dies said he Hoped congress
would act quickly on a series
of measures the committee ap-
proved in its annual report last
Jan. 3.

thing, Ann. You have a lift
to your head that I'm crazy
about"
April fought down an urge
to say, yep, you would like
to see Ann now. Five hundred
miles away and as intent as all
get-out on an addition with the
great Vivano tonight" But no,
she clamped her lips and made
the speedomter dance a little
faster.
Dusk blurred the daylight;
night came on. The wind was
a roaring cavalcade behind
them, pushing them on. April
knew she must reach Kents
home before the storm broke.
II she timed 1t right, she'd have
a perfect excuse for leaving him
at his gate without further fare
wells.
On and on, the miles sped but
ven on the short cuts they
seemed twice as long as they
had this morning. Once the en-
CINE baked. Once she stopped
for gas. Another time she tried
to slip past a truck and almost
sent the car in a ditch.
All the things Kent had said
about her came back. It was
soothing to think of Hal Parks.
Hal was sophisticated, smart,
worldly and he liked her. And
yes, blast him, he was the one
who indirectly had started her

But even in his sightlessness
Kent had leaned over and wa.
enfolding her in his strong, sure
arms.
"Come along, Nip" he called
and bore April triumphantly
through the gate and up the
brief walk to the door.
Laughing down, he said, Ann

rying her across the threshold

door, "this is what you might

Nip squeezed in and made q

In the shadows Of the caver-

leading Of to the right. It, too,
was cavernous with heavy carv-
ed furniture, oil paintings and
q massive square piano.
And over the mantle was a
mirror. April's eyes met April
in the mirror and she knew with

expected, principally because of
the rapid acceptance of the Nash
Ambassador '600," a new auto
mobile that was designed with q
careful eye on the trend of the
times"
Berridge said that while sales
of all cars, even the highest
priced, would undoubtedly in
crease during 1941, the greatest
increases would probably be reg
istered by the automobiles that
are sold to buyers in the me-
dunn and lower-income brack-
cts.
He called the new Nash the
"car of the day." basing his as
sertion, he said, on the fact that
the 900 completely answers all
three Of the elements on which
current demand is based.
First, q big beautiful car at
genuinely low price; second,
greatest possible fuel and oper-
ating economy; third, perform
ance, comfort and interior room
iness," he said. these are the
things that make up the basic
standard Of automobile value to-
day.
1.-THE Nash $780," we believe,
Is SCATTERING these old value
standards by delivering fuel
economy Of Is to 80 miles on
a gallon of gasoline and by set
ting up a new comfort and per-
Torrance standards. For ex-
ample, the car will make a COM
plete turn in a 33-foot circle,
although it is more than Is feet
long. Its 58-inch front seats are
wider than the ordinary divan;
1t floats on 4-wheel coil springs,
and it has the only Weather Eye
conditioned air system available
in the low-price field.

be so placed that if it does catch fire
it cannot block escape from the room
even if it falls over. Never should it
be put close to radiator or fireplace.
A burning tree makes furious and
intense fire which is difficult to ex-
tinguish. Take no chances; call the
fire department Immediately. AS an
added safeguard have fire exiting
usher handy, or at least garden
hose already connected or buckets of
water where they can be reached
quickly.
Wax candles are still used in win
dows and on trees by few people
and each year cause needless losses
of lives and property. Use only cleo
trio lights which have been tested for
safety and approved by Underwriters
Laboratories. Be sure that your old
light strings and all connections are
in good condition. Short circuits have
been responsible for many Christmas
fires.
Do not overload electrical circuits
with too many strings of lights. Di-
rections are given on the boxes of APP
proved light strings telling how many
can be safely connected together.
Don't use indoor strings outdoors.
Lastly" says Mr.. Centrum, "your
Christmas will be much happier and
safer if you will keep away from the
tree all combustible material and
such things as electric trains, toy
stoves, etc, which may cause a
spark"

THE CAUSE OF
SOME TROUBLE

Santa Claus whiskers have caused
many Christmas tragedies! So have
trees, flammable decorations, wax
candles, tinsel-like costumes, and gift
wrappings.
A thousand trees will burn like tor
>ches in homes this Christmas--New
Year holiday season. Hundreds of
homes, clubs, and stores will be de-
stroyed. These tragedies will also
take their toll of lives, turning happi-
ness to gloom in many a school,
church, home, and public gathering
place where safety is ignored.
These warnings come from State
Insurance Commissioner John b. Con
trum. christmas" says Mr.. Con-
trum "is time of added dangers but
you can prevent such disasters from
happening to you by observing simple
precautions"
First of all the Christmas tree
should be safeguarded. Fire proven
ton authorities such as Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc, after much expert
mentation, recommend the following
as giving the best results of any
method yet developed to render trees
less susceptible to ignition
buy only fresh tree.
Saw off the trunk diagonally
an inch or more above the end.
Stand the tree at once in a tub
of plain water. Keep the water level
well above the cut end.
4.-Keep the tree outdoors in cool
shaded place until actually needed.
Sprinkle the branches frequently. Re-
plenish the water in the tub.
5.-Keep the tree standing in water
the entire time it is in the house and
have the room as cool and moist as
possible.

ing the tree in the ROOM" 1t should
