Axis ls.Threot to lo46 Filipino Independence 4

WAR may nullify the Philippine
 " Independence Law of 1895, which provided the islands should be given complete autonomy in 1946. It is doubtful, however, that under existing world conditions either the United States or the] Philippines would favor it's execu-i ton.
 Before the threat of Axis .ag-' gression, most Filipinos believed a citizen army and mosquito fleet would provide sufficient defense. This self-reliant period ended abruptly last year when Common wealth President Manuel L. Que- con and Secretary of Finance Manuel Roxas appealed to the United States for greater military l6ftes and materiel.
 The stamp above, issued the year the Independence Law Was passed, shows the Barasoain Church in the Philippines.
 The islands were discovered by the famous Portuguese explorer Magellan in 1921. The Spanish took over the islands in 1865 and held them until 1898, when, as a. result of the Spanish-American War, they were ceded to the United States.

e SERIAL STORY
BY TOM HoRNER

THE STORY: Pretty, green eyed Kay Donovan, who has come to the city Co seek her inventor father, makes four friends and two startling discoveries. The friends are Aed Andrews, jobless salesman whom she meets on a mark bench, and Macleod, Gold berg and Flynn, lawyers who ad- vertise in the want ad columns for information as to her where abOuts. From them she learns that her father has passed away, leaving her S42S.S5, . factory, and . million cans of WOndrOsoap, the produce in which he had invented everything. The kindly lawyers suggest that she liquidate her holdings, but Kay is determined to carry on the work in which her father, along with. his. chemist Hans Stadt, now somewhere m Texas, had faith, even though she knows nothing about 1t. She asks the lawyers to find Ted Andrews for her, planning to make hlm WondrOsOap sales manager.

business, no salary" Ted stuck out his hand. Have your lawyers draw up & contract. we'll s1gn 1t tomor- row."
 Kay was waiting for Ted the following morning when he came down the dusty road to the factory.
 Nov that you're part owner of this outfit, you'd better have look at it."
 I'm here to sell Wondrosoap, not to make it. That's your job," he re- minded her.
 She led him though the plant. At the mixing vat, somehow his hand brushed hers. She flushed.
 There are raw materials in the storehouse to make another million cans of Wondrosoap," Kay said quickly. "At least so MT. Goldberg says. I don't know the formula, or the methods of mixing it, but Hans Stadt will know. He was Dads chemist. He'll be back from Texas soon and we can start production again. However, we won't need to right away. There's plenty in the warehouse" She led the way.
 What does this stuff look hke?" Ted lifted a box from the. stacked rows, pulled of a board, extracted a can. He twisted of the lid. Looks like a greasy shoe polish"
 Wondrosoap had little eye appeal. It was black. apparently oily.
 Ted smelled it, held the open can under Rays nose. She sniffed. "No wonder it wouldn't sell" the super salesman commented.
 He dug some of the stuff out with his fingers, rubbed 1t into the palm of his hand.
 Looks like a grease but it doesn't feel like it." He wiped his hands with a handkerchief. "Lookl It doesn't leave a stain. You'd never believe there was anything on that handkerchief"
 Tt will clean metal, too" Kay reminded him. Try some on this ,doorknob. The knob was dusty, blackened by grimy hands. Ted ap- piled the cleaner, wiped 1t of again. The metal gleamed like new brass.
 You've got something here, KayP He grinned broadly.
 we've got something here, Mister Andrews"
 Back in the office, Ted enthusias- tically outlined his sales campaign.
 If you have a product that you want to put on the market with a bang, how would you do it, Miss Donovan?"
 why, I'd advertise it, of course. 1"
 Suppose you want to create hl- terest in it-create a demand" Ted was thinking aloud. You'd use teaser ads. That's it, daily teasers. We can start with w Next day we'll use "Wo.' then Won until we've finally spelled out 'Wondro- soap Then we'll tell the customers what 1t is and what it can do. Boy, will we blast them of their feet! wen have them standing in line to buy Wondrosoap, and dealers howlingS for more. It's cinch."
 Kay wasn't so enthusiastic.
 That's 8 wonderful idea," she admitted, "but we can't afford a big advertising campaign. That would cost more than we can spend. I've only $4OO and have to live on that. ?
 Ted nodded glumly, his bubble exploded. I've eight of. the ten bucks I got for finding you--but the room rents due"
 Both of them stared at the floor. Ted lighted 8 cigaret. The drone Of the electric fan was Ine only sound. Then Ted's grin returned as he caught sight of the newspaper Kay had thrown at Flynn the night before, still lying in the corner.

There are queer versions of the
old hitchin' post to which Dobbin in
yesteryears used to stand hitched

this old traffic accessory b. provi-

country of parking meters. In Ven

according to indications.
1t was predicted oy washington Of
ficials that loan rates would increase
from IS cents to IS cents a bushel for
wheat and would cover crops raised
this year. The boost. they said. should
tend to raise market prices to the loan
levels. With buyers having to pay equi-
valent to the loan rate. else growers
would place their commodities under
loan.
These rates would be equivalent to
