Paris felt his face aflame. The
simple statement seemed to carry
not only rebuke but some sort
of obscure threat.
Here in his study, with the sun
light touching his heavy mahogany
colored hail, DR.. Tower looked
younger than Paris had expected
Also he had an air that was not
easy for Paris to define, but which
he knew was unlike that of other
men. Distinction, yes; but also some
thing quietly and intensely alive
uaybe shade menacing.
You want to be a doctor?"
yes, sir"
"A good one, or just one. OF these
country quacks?"
II want to be very good one,

Like whom?"
Paris blushed again. Like
those you read about.
"Where?"
This time Paris smiled. II got

Doctor Tower smiled too at the
unexpected word.

poses sending you to Vienna

"She must be extraordinary.
shes quite wonderful" Paris
said quietly, and DR.. Tower nod
ded gravely. Then he began tc
talk. Paris could not follow ali
of 1t, but he listened as he had
never Listened before. Part of the
time he forgot to think. Of what
the Doctor was actually saying in

had the cir or taking him into a
quiet special confidence. Paris
was giving his most concentrated
attention now, but he was giving
something else, too, and that was
@ sudden and violent loyalty.
Dr.. Tower turned abruptly in
his chair. You aren't having
psychology at Aberdeen, are you?'

you follow the drive, you'll come
out on Cherry street"
Paris could not sleep that
night. He was more deeply ex-
cited than he had ever been in
his life. For the first time there
were limitations of authentic com
munication between his world -
which had been until this very
day the world OF children-and
the adult world which had always
moved a little mysteriously either
to the side or above him.
A door was opening, and he
was unbearably impatient TO pass
through.
In the months that followed he
saw very little of Drake. His
work absorbed him.
In midwinter brakes Uncle
Rhodes died, and his aunt had a
stroke shortly afterward. Plans were
being made to close the house and

Sanitarium.

WASHINGTON ,-- Fuel oil ra tioning probably will effect more than 3,00O,00O homes, the Census Bureau reported.
 In the 1940 census New York had more homes heated by oil than any other States in the oil rationing area, comprising thirty States and the District of Colum bia, but Rhode Island had the highest percentage of such houses.
 New York State had 652,820 oil heated homes, or 186 percent of all its homes, while Rhode Island had 84,986 such homes, or 45.8 percent.
 The bureau recorded total of 24,786,770 homes in the thirty States, of which 2,95O,175 or 11.5 percent, were heated by fuel oil. In the unrationed area, having 9,080, ,490 homes, 6 percent were heated by oil. Since l940 many homes have been converted to coal heat, while around 100000 new homes have been built.
 Federal housing officials found in a survey last year that on a national basis 13 percent of single-family houses were heat ed by oil, 48 percent by gas and 39 percent by coal. On the East ern seaboard the distribution was 30 percent by oil, 8 percent by gas and 62 percent by coal

Exceptions will be made for hospitals where a severe cut might cause serious health haz- ards.
 The 0fRge of War Information is offering some new suggestions to householders on how to con- serve oil and keep moderately warm this winter It said:
 "A room temperature of 65 is warm enough for normal adults if they are properly dressed. The reduction of room temperature from 72 to 65 degrees may cut fuel consumption by 10 percent or more.
 If you insist on having your bedroom windows wide open, close the door tightly and place a rug or blanket before it.
 Lower the shades at night and keep them down during the day except when the sun is shining directly on the window panes or the light is needed.
 The insulation afforded be- tween window and shade by the airpocket may save from to 10 percent in fuel. It has been esti- mated that 500 gallons of heat oil escaped through the windows of the average home during a nor mal Winter

WASHINGTON - A policy of complete denial of fuel oil ra- tons for heating apartment hous eS and commercial industrial end iastituticpaE establishments which can convert to coal and fail to do so was announced by the Office of Price Administra- ton.
 The drastic measure was adopt ed, according 10 Paul M. OLeary deputy administrator in charge of rationing, because the "desper atcness of the fuel oil situation demanded it.
 He said that large propor- ton of the fuel-oil users men toned had heating facilities that could easily be converted to coal firing. If they were not forced to convert, he added, the oil they would use would be denied to SCOTS of homes where the furnac eS could not be converted and the homes would be "insufferably cold' this winter.
 Asserting that there was no problem in getting equipment to convert those heating plants which were susceptible to con version, he continued:
 "The government has carefully cleared the way for conversions and arrangements have been made for priorities on materials ann the manufacture of Jugs, shaker bars, grates and ashpit doors. In fact, many of these hings are now made, and wait ing to be used"
 MT. O'Leary said that commer cial, industrial and institutional establishments would be requir- ed to report on the convertibil- ity of their oil furnaces when they register for rations of fuel oil and rationing boards would have advice from heating experts in deciding whether to deny ra- tionS
 No place will be eligible for fuel oil ration if a new burner or equipment converting the fur mace from other fuels to fuel oil has been installed since June 1, 1922, or if standby facilities for fuels other than oil are avail able, such as coal-spraying equip ment and idle coal boilers.
 Rations for large buildings that cannot convert will be set differ ently from those for private homes. The heat-loss formula based on floor area will not be applied. Instead, the ration will be percentage of last years consumption. In most cases the curtailment will probably be at least as great as that in private homes.

Naugy Grays Swamped in Bethany; MiddIebury

It took the Naugatuck Bluebirds 17 innings to score two runs yester- day, but the second tally with one out in the 17th enabled them to pin back the ears of the Sandy Hook nine, 2 to l, in Pomperaug League tilt at Naugatuck.
 It was grand pitching duel with Randall "Rube" Minor and George Weiman in the leading roles, the former getting the decision as he held the visitors to eight safeties, one less than what his mates nicked Weiman for.
 Georgie Allen opened the 17th with Q double. Schiller grounded out and Allen romped to third scor- ing from there when Clayton Mur- phys slow roller remained fair and went for base hit.
 The Naugatuck Grays went to Bethany yesterday, but might just as well remained home, for Beth any pinned a IT to 3 defeat on them. Three runs in the second and seven more in the fourth was enough for Bethany.
 Middlebury made 2l hits and 20 runs as they walloped Woodbury at Middiebury, 20 to 2. Eleven runs in the first three innings sewed up the contest and allowed Leary to breeze through to an easy victory.

 Hemsley, 35, a middle-sized, dark haired chap with 8 sprinkling of gray at the temples, must have realized he was near the end of the major league trail when the Reds released him. During his dozen years in the majors he had played with the Pirates, Cubs, Reds twice, Browns and Indians.
 But this big chance with the Yarks apparently inspired him. In yesterdays doubleheader, he made five hits in eight trips to the plate during the two games, both of which were won by the Yanks.
