SMART GIRL
Confined frosn peeeeding pe1e

She tucked the bill into her bag.
MAY l see the wallet please,
Brick?" Lynn's voice was steady
and unhurried. She would make
sure that Brick was an idiot be-
fore she told him So.
brick passed it over, a puzzled
pucker between his brows. The
leather was quite clean and dry -
just as Lynn had known it would
be. Just as it had been when the
girl had slipped it out of Bricks
pocket. Her quickly concocted
story would fall apart like magic
when Lynn called his attention to
the evidence at hand. Brick mind
was logical enough when you
slowed him down and made him
look at the facts. The beginnings
of a SNUG smile played around the
corners of Lynn's mouth. Then all
at once it was gone.
A girl had to let a man think he
was right at least hsy the time.
If she didn't handle his pride
gently, some other girl would.
Besides, Brick was sweet. Brick
was everything she loved. If he
. we're the least bit different, she
might not love him 50 much.
Whats the matter with the
wallet?'' Brick was saying.
Nothing" Lynn looked up at
him adoringly. II guess l just kind

Lynn's steady and uncompromis-
ing, the others shrewdly question
ing. If the girl had really taken
Bricks wallet, it would be in that
bag she held tightly against the
red raincoat. She hadn't expected
them back 50 soon, so there'd have
been no point in trying to hide it.
1t was an enormous chance to
take, but Lynn's hand moved
swiftly to grab the bag.
But the blond girl swung swiftly
around to Brick. Il hoped you'd
come back" she said. Her teeth
flashed in a disarming smile. II
didn't know where you might be
stationed, or even what your name
was" She took the wallet from
her bag and handed it to him.
"A newsboy picked it up out of
the gutter and gave it to me, just
as you drove away"
LYNN could almost see the air
60 out of Bricks chest in long,
happy sigh. He beamed at her -
not kloating because he thought
he'd been right for once - just
happy because he had his money
back and also his faith in the girls
integrity. Then he took out a bill
and gave it to the girl.
You'll probably be seeing that
newsboy again." he said. "Will
you give this to him, with my
compliments. for being honest?'
"Of course" smiled the girl,
with a sidewise glance at Lynn.

In Paris there wasn't any cele-

Have You Got
 Your $67.l5?

The reports of the Federal Re- serve Banks give an interesting re- port on the amount of money in circulation as of the 3lst of March, l942.
 An March 3l, 1941, the per capita circulation or currency in circula- ton, was $67.l5, according to Ho- well Cheney, secretary of the Con- necticut Economic Council. Theor- etically today every man, woman and child in the United States pos sessed, on February 28, 1942, $85.67 or $l8.52 more in money than they did year ago. This is undoubted- ly ih part due to the increased em- ployment and an increase, conse- quently, in the country's aggregate payroll. It may also be a conse- quence of hoarding or lack of pur- chasing, since the supply of consul mer goods now is less than 1t was year ago, while the amount of money in circulation Is greater. As our economists have pointed out, a situation in which there is a short age of goods, and an increasing amount of money in circulation leads inevitably towards an infla- tionary rise in prices. On January 1, 1879, the money in circulation in the United States was $l6.92 per capita; on June 30, 1914, $34.93; on March 3I, 1917, $4o.23; on March 31 l94l, $6715; and on February 2S l942, $85.67.

Contract Dispute Remains Unsettled; !; No Word Yet
 From Washington

Union employees of the American Brass co. plants in Waterbury. Torrington and Ansonia win meet tomorrow to discuss possible action toward efHecting Q settlement of It's contract dispute with the company. One proposal to be acted upon is that Congressman Joseph F. Talbot be asked to request the War Labor Board to intervene.
 The International Union of Mine. Mil and Shelter Workers, bargain ing agent for employees in the three plants, has declared itself strongly in favor of having the controversy go before the VILE.
 Key points in their dispute are the unions demands for raise cz IS cents an hour and a closed shop, and the company's demand for elimination of overtime provision.
 Meantime, management and union representatives will meet tomorrow with Thomas Burns of the War Production Board to arrange for the setting-up of Tnanagement-labOr committee, whose function 1t will be to help increase war production.

New York, December 4. - (UP) - Americas Chalk Eaters" - the guys who consistently play the fav- orites are pinching themselves today to make certain they're not betting their deuces in heaven be- cause of the surprising regularity with which favorites have been win ming at New Orleans Fair Grounds during the past week.
 One of our favorite characters - Q chap who must have been born on a white rail with stopwatch and form in his pudgy hands - did bit of put-and- take matehmatics with his bookie and emerged with the flabbergasting conclusion that 50 per cent of tine favorites had won at fair grounds during the past six days. Twenty-two top-priced bang tails came through in A races.
 This is one for the book, although perhaps not for the bookies. And it Is a tribute to Sylvester Labrot, Jr, and Anthony Pelleteri, the two men who picked the Fair Grounds out of the scrap heap two years ago and now are turning it into a first class and essentially honest race course.
 This 50 per cent average for the favorites is at leas 20 percent higher than that for the average race track in the United States. It has special significance in the racing fraternity where it is interpreted to prove that
