SYNOPSIS

1t was Just prior TO the World War
that young Or. Chris Arden started
in private practice. He found it hard
enough to gain patronage; lack OF
funds also hampered him. His uncle
Dave Mortimer, an old country doctor
who educated Chris, would like hlm
for an assistant, but the young doc

rents a room and office from the
shiftless Walters family This he
soon regretted, but sympathy for IN
efficient Henry Walters and his meek
wife. Lily, caused him to stay with
them. And as he thought OF their Ia

CHAPTER FIVE

BEVERLY wrote the note that night,
sitting at the desk in her luxurious
grav-and-rose bedroom; wrote 1t care
fully in her best hand, with her face
slightly flushed and the wind from
the open window blowing her loosened
hair about her.
my mother" she wrote, would
like to meet you, especially since
YOUR great kindness on that dreadful
Sunday morning. And we shall be
quite alone. If you can come on
Thursday at five o'clock"
She sat for a long time looking at
it before she put it in an envelope
Then she went quietly down the stairs
and along the drive to the mailboX
on the street and dropped it in. She
had a strange feeling as she did so
that she had taken some irrevocable
step.
The result the next morning was
the appearance before Chris at the
breakfast table of a flushed and eX-
cited Katie, unusually tidy-for school
and carrying a heavy white envel-
Ope in her hand.
ct looks like party" she sald'
inspecting it.
Most likely it's bill, Katie. They
do them up like that so you're sure
to open them
But it was the note from Beverly,
and he glanced up to see Katie's eyes
on him, intent and curious.
'Not party, Katie. I'm asked to
tea at the Lewis's."
"Well, that's something" said ka-
tie, slightly disappointed. I'D better
tell Mother to press your clothes. And
YOU need a new necktie."
80 Dick seems to think. He's lett
mine alone lately"
He stuffed the note in his pocket
and got up. Under all his calm ne
was excited and pleased, but ne was
also rather uneasy. And this uneasi-
ness was not lessened as time went
on bv the sudden activity of the Wal
tiers family on his behalf. Under all
their carelessness, their hit-or-miss
living, he sensed an underlying kind
ness.

Good gracious! He told you that ~

Late that night Annie Lewis took
up the subject with her husband. Per-
haps She was the only person in the
world who was not afraid of Staun-
ton Lewis, but she never quarreled
With him. Long ago they had reached
an understanding When he had
built and furnished the big house, she
found a handsome room there for her
self. and a connecting room for him.
She knew then that her married life
had ended.
Sometimes. when he was dressing
or undressing, he would wander in,
Gapper even under those conditions,
and talk OF this on that. But il she
had ever loved him, she had forgotten
it. Now she liked him at times and
disliked him heartily at others.
Much that She could see from her
windows belonged TO him; the trac-
ton lines, a bank or two, some Of the
mills, even a newspaper. But to her
he was merely her husband, a small
not unhandsome man, greedy for mon
ey and for power who no longer car

she merely put down her book and

"Sit down" she said Il want to

He never sat by my bed. And his
voice certainly isn't soft. Perhaps you
could do something for HIM You
might see him anyhow"
"How? Get a bone in my throat 2"
He was rather pleased with that as
he went Que, and she let him go with

She was lonely. lying on her soft bed

not lonely for him. She would have
liked a son, some one gusty with
youth and laughter, wandering in to
bring her little jokes, small unimpor-
tant condolences, even to laugh at her
Familiarity
She dropped to sleep that night
wondering about Chris. That big.
heavy-shouldered young man was the
sort Beverly should marry. He look
ell like man who would be the faith
er of sons. Her prayers that night
which she now said comfortably in
her bed, were rather incoherent. Nat
urally she wanted God to look after
Staunton, although he seemed pretty

they were also confused with rath-
er shabby young doctor who was to
help God to look after Beverly.

rather promising. Chris, coming up

We wonder if DSR manager Nolan or the DSR COM

cutting down the number of street stops by about
half
At present, street stops usually two blocks

IF EVERY other safety eliminated the most any

An additional blocks walk not great hardship in these

Fewer stops and starts for each street which means
a quicker ride.
And also means more comfortable ride.

WYE WOULD like to this experiment tried on one

zones could be uprooted
This would eliminate number of hazards to auto

And the uprooted safety posts could go to feed

SteeI's Story Vital

THE steel industries of the United states have been
i utilizing newspaper advertising to contribute IN a
substantial manner TO the enthusiasm of the American
people for essential war activity and to the information
Of the people about essential war production
For the first purpose the emphasis in the advertising
campaign Is ON the necessity for public support OF the
scrap metal salvage program-upon which so much de-
ponds if prevalent shortages are to be overcome
For the second purpose. the steel industry's own
expansion and production under the pressure OF war
needs Is emphasized
These are not merely eglumate purposes but vitality
important purposes and the tangible results viii be IN
creasiney apparent as the war continues
THE steel industries are representatives Of the type OF
| big industries regarding which the people have
always had too Httle information and understanding
The fault for this probably lies with the industries
themselves
and informed public relations
They have considered themselves alooi from the
public and have therefore overlooked the fundamental
advantage and wisdom OF comprehensive policy OF pubic
information
THE war has brought enghment TO all of the soealled
big Industries including the steel industries IN this
matter
They have found themselves with tremendously
big Job do the winning OF the war and with story
they proud tell about the particularly good job they
doing
OF course the American people interested
In the of steel the people may well be thrilled
and nspredbecause the story of steel is fascinating
and amazing record of vital production in of any
thing accomplished elsewhere in the world.
American steel production is bigger than that OF any
other nation and il is not already bigger than that or
any conceivable combination of nations it soon will be-
II not big enough yet and that is why the scrap
metal salvage program Is important
But IL is credit to the industry, and beyond that is
complete justification and vndcaon of the system OF
private enterprise under which the industry functions and
still further beyond is the of our supreme
fdence IN ultimate victory.

Save Those Tin Cans

CATURDAY, August % is the date set for the
- first collection of the tin which 100000 families
of the Detroit area should have been saving.
The results Of the first collection will determine to
what these families have responded to the call for
tin, to supplant the former imports which halted
when the Japs cut off the Dutch East Indies, main
of supply. So far reports discouraging.
A figure two supplied by Edwin J. Anderson
Wayne salvage committee chairman shows the Importance
Of this drive.
If Detroit area families have saved only half the tin
they have used in the last 80 days from these
will. be salvaged 300 pounds of pure tin
This is all Of that vital metal necessary for the con-
struCton of two destroyers 700 medium tanks
Approximately 1000 tons of scrap steel Will still
remain from the cans
If YOU have not already started is the time TO
begin saving TN not only for the first collection
but for all future collections.

Aluminium in
Waste Clay
By G.. Il. LAL
International New. Service Science Edt

International News Service Science Editor
NEW methods for increasing
~ the supply of aluminium, the
key metal for making airplanes.
are revealed in an official report
issued by the National Academy
of Sciences.
In the report prepared by DR..
Gay Jeffries it was disclosed that
the new processes have been
under investigation for more
than year by specialists in
metals and substitution mate
rails Of the national research
council of the academy.
The main object of the new
process is TO extract aluminium
from clay and low grade ores.
A method has even been sought
to extract aluminium from the
waste products found when
high-grade bauxite ores are
worked for aluminium.
In some of these processes,
aluminium oxide is directly OBJ
tanned from clay; in others, in
ferior ores are first deprived of
their silica, and then subjected
10 the current methods OF get
ting aluminium from the best
kind of ore.
MILLIONS of tons Of reddish
vi colored clay have been stored
UP as waste from the produc-
ton of aluminium out Of high
grade bauxite. But the new
methods will make II possible to
produce hundreds of thousands
of tons Of aluminium from such
clay.
One of the promising clays is
known as kaolin, and another is
the mineral commonly known
as alum stone, alunite to the
geologiSt.
The processes are mainly OF
two sorts. depending upon
whether acid or alkali materials
are chiefly employed IN them.
In the alkali processes such
substances as soda and lime are
used
Sulphuric acid and other rea-
gents are employed in the acid
processes.
A CCORDING TO Doctor JEFF
~ fries report. the Tonnes
see Valley Authority has been
experimenting with the acid
processes. using kaolin clay.
The general results favor the
alkali processes as more pro-
ductive.
More than half Of the high
grade bauxite comes TO the
United States from British and
Dutch Guiana. The enemys in
reference on the seas affects
this supply. American geolo-
giStS have most valuable con-
tribution TO make in the search
for such ore on this continent

alternate with the other. and so
on. You'll fall at first, but by
persevering you will walk again,
just as you did before you gave
up the use of your legs.
These legs are made up of
flesh, bone, blood vessels and
have heavy weights at the end
of them called feet" They are
the things you only used to press
brakes in your car. Their nat
ural use is to support your body
in walking.
Now, give me your hand, YOU
who are learning TO walk again.
Put your feet firmly on the
ground. Now I'll let go of your
hand TO see, whether you can
locomote without rubber tires
under you and five gallons OF
gas in front of you.
There, you fell! Up-see-daisy!
Now try again! Attaboy! You're
walking
YOU may remember that some
Il time ago I reviewed a book
here that produced evidence,
with some show of plausibillty,
that the celebrated naturalist,
John James Audubon (who. by
the way. is buried in Trinity's
Uptown Cemetery in New York;
was the celebrated Dauphin of
France. who was believed TO
have been murdered in his ninth
year in a tower-prison in Paris
during the French Revolution
and who would have been Louis
the Seventeenth of France had
he lived.
There are buried in various
places of the world three per-
sons which legend claims was
the Lost Dauphin."
Now comes this curious item
IN Inc New DIX fteT dlu
Tribune of a recent date. II is
taken from that paper Of just
100 years ago.
Imperial present TO Mr.. Au-
dubon--the emperor of Russia
has sent through his msjesty's
minister To the United states a
magnificent gold snuff-boy, stud
ded with costly diamonds, to our
feIlow-citizen. j. J. Audubon, the
great ornithologist. The box Is
OF splendid workmanship and
could not have cost less than
$4,000"
Why should the car send TO
tramp ornithologist such an eX-
pensive and aristocratic present
unless he knew something"
If the car knew that Audit
bon was really Louis the Seven
teenth. then a gold snuff box
was just the proper present of
one ruler TO another.
And so il may be that at
Broadway and 154th street there
is buried a king.
