 Flush, Kenl And thank you ever 50 much!"
 They stationed the guard at Dr. Hale's direction. It took half an hour more. Soon after 6 o'clock though, Carolyn and Robert Hale were back in his offlce at dic- tation again, which surprised her.
 Things had moved with incredi- ble swiftness since she nervily came out here at 3 o'clock, one hour ahead of her appointment She had no idea what to expect next. A sense of excitement, too vague to understand but too em- phatic to ignore, charged the air around this great laboratory and office here on the outskirts of town. Curiously in Carolyn was at the steaming point, too, so that she had some difficulty maintain- ing a business-like poise.
 At 2 D. m. Dr. Hale was dron- ing on, using more and more sci- entiac terms in his diction. Her fingers were growing tired. Then all at once he surprised her again.
 "Who is this MT. Palmer?" he asked.
 "Ken2" she looked up and smiled. "Oh, Ken's just a boy in love with me-"
 Dr. Robert Hale, scientist, slow ly drowned. Astonishing"
 Astonishing that Q boy should be in love with me2"
 "No, mol I meant, it is aston- ishing how your your eyes dis- tract one. The, uh, augmentation is-" He paused, awkwardly.
 Carolyn squelched a quick It. tie smile of amusement, tucked in her lower lip. Her distinguished employer was more than Q scien- tist, she realized; he could be in- tensely interesting. And human.

Civil actions against the Maryland Casaulty Company by the City of Waterbury to collect on surity the insurance people gave to guarantee the acts of Former City Controller Daniel J. Leary. may be started within a short time in the local courts, 1t was reliably stated this morning.
 The company's liability totals $l0o,000. Earlier last week. Corp. Counsel J. Gregory Lynch indicated that the city would seek settle- ment with the company, failing which. the civil actions will be in- stituted. As yet, no agreement has been reached.
 Developments in the proposed damage suits against former city and state officials remain dormant, as indications point to the neces- sity of record inspections before such actions can be filed. It Is un- derstood that the city, and Atty. George II. Cohen of Hartford, repre- senting the Citizens Good Govern- ment association in It's $500 900 suit against MT. Leary, are making every effort to obtain permission to ex- anime the impounded records now held at Hartford.

 She was a trifie nervous about all this. And yet, she would tryl She dialed a number Ken Palmer answered, and Instantly she spoke most earnestly to him, in some- what hushed manner.
 "Ken! Ken, this Is me. This IS I, mean. Look here, Ken, listen carefully. I got the job. I am out at pr.

 Something of her intensity must have slid over the wire to him. Ken Palmer became serious, as one does with any emergency call. A minute later Carolyn was back near her employer.
 "It's taken care of," she an- nounced. They'll he here be- fore night"
 That's fine. There's your dic- ton pad. A letter for pr. P. D. Hines, University Hall, Detroit.
 Dear Dr. Hines: Miss Sormi and hasten to report that the experiment was @ complete suc- cess. Of course, I shall withhold details until adequate tests can be run. Anything but absolute secrecy would be devastating now. Also, there has been no time to prepare the necessary shields. It happened only this afternoon. Measure of the radiation is im- possible today but lead plates can be arranged within a week. In any event there is grave danger at this stage, as you will realize. Leana Sormi knows every step I have taken, so that if anything should happen to me before I can have detailed reports made out, then"
 Carolyn's eyes narrowed. She stole a quick glance at him, then had to keep her pencil flying. For tunately, she was an expert at secretarial work. Two years with an energetic banker had helped. Dr. Hale was gripping both cor- ners of his desk now. looking straight ahead and talking.

City officials as well as Wat erbury legislators were scheduled to speak for the bill.

The judiciary committee this aft- ernoon was to hold @ hearing on . bill, offered by Rep. Charles Harper of Middlebury, providing for safety devices on motion picture projec- tors.

 Making Selections
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, April l6 Changes should be made In the present laws regarding the selection of eligible jurors to eliminate "the same old faces in the jury box year after year." Senator Joseph P. Cooney, Hartford Democrat, declar- cd in the Senate yesterday. He scored the present system, where's by the jury lists are submitted by first selectmen, as "undemocratic"
 Senator Cooney urged the change while making favorable report for the Judiciary committee on Q bill increasing the pay of jurors from $4 to $5 e day, plus travelling ex. penses. He said he strongly favor ed the increase even though he dis- agreed with the method of choosing talesmen. However, the bill was tabled on request of Senator John L. Sullivan of New Britain.
 We have an old-fashioned meth- cd of making up jury lists and we need more democratic way" said Senator Cooney. we shouldn't have to see the same old faces in the jury box year after year, but as the law now stands the selectmen send in the same lists of names every year."

new way of playing is something to be
enthusiastic about. When young people
hear one of these works and you have

DR.. Kinder has always believed that
that which the interpretive artist can do

to the classics but young men are eager
for the new works.

DETROIT, June 21.-The motorcar

about what it is going to do for national
defense-it has reached the point where
1t can talk about results.

out five million or more automobiles in
one year, so too has it required months
of planning to prepare for the industry

But something like magic results from
all these preparations. Not very many
weeks ago machinists were spending 6
hours and 40 minutes counterboring 280
holes in the crankcase, or main frame
work, of one of the huge aircraft en-
gines. Today that part of the job is done
in IS minutes.

In another instance, seven machines
worked an hour drilling IA holes into
each cylinder of an aviation engine. To-
day three machines do the job in three
minutes. Workers used to spend 80
minutes machining each exhaust valve
on aircraft motors. Today, So seconds

Hundreds of like time-saving jobs are
