THERE'S a great TODD over
4 illiteracy in the army. 1t all
arose over the fact that 433, 900
selectees who would nominally
rate in Class IA have been told
TO go home because they are
'illiterate."
"Illiterate," I take it, in this
sense, means those who cannot
read and write. and nearly half a
million men who cannot read
and write in country that
makes education compulsory is
almost incredible. Still, / do not
see what that has TO do with the
ability of these men TO fight or
to perform other manual duties
where reading. and writing are
not required. What, for instance.
has potato-peeling to do with
reading and writing?
1t is quite likely that go per
cent of the men in the armies of
our Revolution could not read
and write. There was no liter
acy test when Lincoln called for
$4,000 men to defend the country
in 1861. OF the several million
men on both sides of the Civil
War it is probable that many
thousands of them could neither
read nor write.
Napoleon's army was about 20
per cent illiterate. And I'm sure
no one ever took census of
"literacy" of the men who went
barefoot in the snow at Valley
Forge.
All these rejected 433. 900 Class
IA men should be Immediately
indicted into the service. This
is a war-not a spelling-bee.
IT SEEMS 10 me that all this

before they are Matched. That

ems there is no doubt. but just
what kind Of chickens they will
be-Communist. Fascist, Nazi or
-four freedoms" chickens-I do
not think any one knows.
But here is an English writer
who blandly and boldly presents
a Commufascist chicken to the
world as his choice among TN
Matched war poultry. He is Prof.
Edward Hallett Carr. His book
is entitled Conditions of Peace"

pro-Nazi book thinly yelled be-
hind long-winded phrases.
His scheme is called post

Europe. He says that Hitler

TO THE EDITOR:
THE success of the petition
Il campaign 10 secure the
right to reorganize the govern

been due 10 the unusual support
of the press. In no other way

of Individually circulated petit

necessary signatures-more than
were ever before secured in

Lett TO
The Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
IT REALLY is very amusing to
Il read some of the letters the
tenants have written. They
surely are taking advantage Of
their so-called power over the
landlords.
l have often wondered why
some people that dislike land
lords so much do not buy a
home of their own.
OF course they would have 10
pay their own water bills. taxes
and repairs. They couldn't
move in a house newly decor
ated and live until il was filthy,
then move 10 a new home.
If some of these dissatisfied
tenants ever had a cent in their
purses it would burn a hole
there. They seem TO envy any
one that has spunk enough TO
save up and buy a home.
Owning property to rent out
is a pain in the neck. Tenants
were unbearable before, but now
some IF them are utterly i'm
possible.
Ihele is only one thing wrong
with this setup. The landlords
should pay the tenants rent in
stead of the tenants paying the
landlords.

it. You've got the lives of three
people to think about, not just your
oWn. Don't be selfish"
You're quite a guy" Neil said
admiringly. But have no assur-
ance that Molla is in love with me
or has any intentions of falling in
love with me"
well, sir, then Ia try to find out
before it's too late" Burton Whit
worth said whimsically.
Il have about as much subtlety
as a tank. Just how do | go about
that?" Neil asked sardonically.
Eth? Well. that's your problem.
That's where l fade out of the pic
ture. because any advice l could
give you wouldn't be worth you
know what"
Neil left the city the day Tay
came back to work. He stopped at
Burton Whitworth's office to say
goodby. I'm probably be gone
about a week. he said. We've Sc
lected that stream up near Pough-
keepsie. 1t shouldn't take me more
than four days to lay the ground
work and see how DR.. Jordan is
getting on with his concrete"
Whitworth nodded. Good
enough. And remember. check in
by phone every day, 1tll be easier
for you to get us than for US tc
get you if something comes up"
Neil left then. He walked all the
way through the outer Office with
out one turning around. Molla
watched him go. He hardly had
spoken a word to her in almost a
week. In fact. it appeared as
though he he been trying to avoid
her.
Molla looked after him until the
door closed behind his back. She bit
her lip and turned around to find
Tay watching her.
Something troubling you?" he
asked coolly.
She was surprised. Nothing is
troubling me I was just surprised
that Neil didn't say goodby when
he left"
Tay leaned both arms over the
railing above her desk. Does that
make such a terrible difference?"
She wanted to say yes. 1t was on
the tip of her tongue, but somehow
the words wouldn't come out. In
stead, she said. Il merely thought
it quite unusual"
He didn't say anything and
turned away, He took two steps
and came back. BY the way he
said pleasantly. Mother wants me
to bring you cut for dinner tonight,
l guess there are some things she
wants to speak to you about
I'm sorry but In busy tonight,
Tay."
He troWned. "Something you
cant break

well. | guess that'll be okay."
Molla was quite silent riding out

down and kissed her, his arms
crushing her to his chest.
When he finally released her,
Molla stood looking at him, trans
hNed almost, her thoughts racing,
hardly knowing what to do or say.
But one thing she fully realized.
Never had Tay kissed her like that.
Never had she felt the same queer
tumult when Tay kissed her as she
had just then.
We'll, now that that's out Of nv
system, I'll offer the string of apol-
osles, regrets and SO on that go
with just such an act" he said
grimly, and climbed back on his
horse.
Molla, holding the reins of her
own steed, looked up at him. She
put a foot into a stirrup and swung
up beside him.
Please" she said. please don't
sey anything like that. But if you
must say something, tell me WHY
you did that. Perhaps l have a right
to know"
He stared around at her then. Il
did it because l wanted to be-
cause l wanted to more than any,
thing else l can think of right now.
Does that satisfy you?"
She shook her head negatively.
I'm sorry" he said, but that's
all can say"
"All you a say or all you
want to say?"
He grabbed her hand impulsive-
ly. please don't make it n more
miserable for me than you have to.
Surely you know what 1 mean
without my telling you. III have a
guilty feeling every time l see Tay
as it is
"Oh, yes Tay."
He shot a suspicious glance at
her. why do you say it like that"
So now you're asking the ques-
tons. So you have the right to ask
me that?'
He put out his hand and stopped
her horse. "Okay, it's all pretty
clear to me now. I'll say it, and
then III have the right. love you,
Molla. l love you like a silly darned
fool because it won't do me any

her. It was as though she wanted

mounted. Neil brushed some snow
on a log and they sat down. Every
thing was clothed in a heavy. white
silence. Occasionally a bird or small
animal would brush through the
trees and they would see a small
furry CT snow in its wake.
Who was that DR.. Jordan who
went in to talk to Mr.. WhitWorth ?"
Molla asked.
Jordan? He's head OF our eX-
perimental laboratories"
"Oh, then he's the man you're 60
ing to be working with for the next
couple of weeks"
He looked at her curiously. How
did lou know"
1T isn't a secret, l hope, because
Miss Crump said l would have to
work on some estimates for you

"No-o-o," he said, ut isn't a Sc

he joked, but she noticed the flick

said it.

you =

1t started to snow again. Lets
take off again" Neil said.
They trotteG down a crooked
trail and across a small stream
which was just starting to freeze
over. Neil, looking down, saw his
horse kick a hind foot a couple of
times. He dismountcd and looked
at the shoe. Taking a stick he pried
at a stone which had become lodged
in it.
Molla sat in her saddle watching
HIM. Suddenly a squirrel shot in
front of them and flashed up a
nearby tree.
Molla's horse whinnied sharply
and reared high Sitting in her sad
die easily and utterly unpreparcd,
Molla found herself slipping. She

whats the matter, Beautiful?"
he asked. Got the weight of the
world on your mlnd?"
Hardly that much" she told
him. Suddenly she said. "Tay, are
you really, tremendously in love
with me?'
He was startled. Good lord, of
course. Why do you ask that?"
Because when you were uncon-
scious in that hospital in Georgia
you said some things which made
me think"
This time she could almost feel
the tightness in his tone. What did
say?" he asked quickly.
Molla stared straight ahead
through the windshield as she
spoke. You must have been deli
rious. You thought you were speak,
ing to that-that Anthony girl you
! got drunk with. It sounded as
though you were repeating your
conversation with her, or at least
part of it,"
What part?"
The part" Molla said. "where
you told her l was sweet enough
to take a chance with . that
you were willing to take the gam
Bile g.. especially with three
months in which to see how the
dice would turn up"
She turned around to look at
him then. but now it was his turn
to stare straight ahead.
Il don't care to be a gamble,
Tay. l don't intend to be a trial

yourself. l can't let you be that m

He was silent. Cant you say

Her happiness, Molla reflected
somewhat grimly, was exactly
what she was interested in, and she
knew full well that one who was
drunk or delirious often made true
statements of fact despite his con-
dition.
How can ! be sure ?" she asked
hOlloWly.
He put n arm around her and
drew her closer as he drove.
Just take my word for it. Beau

Despite the reinsurance OF his
voice. the pressure Of his arm.
Molla knew she wasn't convinced.
She knew the beliefs which were
