BARK FOR HOME
The alert Radio Branch of the
War Department received a let
ter from an Indiana farm boy,
now with the expeditionary force
in Australia, saying he. certainly
liked the radio programs the De-
partment sent out. He liked
Dorothy Lamour's singing and
Charlie Mccarthy, and appreciated
very much the sports reports. They
were all swell, he said, but what
he really would like to hear was
the voice of his dog, Queenie.
So the Radio Branch sent
sound recording equipment out to
the soldiers farm home in Indiana
and in few days he will be hear
ing the voice Of Queenie herself.

excellent insight into German
military preparations.
While in Germany, Col. Smith
became close friend of Lind
bergh, and later when Lindbergh
used to visit Washington, he
sometimes stayed at Smiths
home.
This came to the attention Of
Supreme Court Justice Felix
Frankfurther, who Indignantly
reported 1t to the White House,
together with strong sugges-
ton that Col. Smith be court
martialed.
However, Chief Of Staff Mar
shall and Assistant Secretary of
War johnson stepped in, warned
that cOurtmartial would have
bad repercussiOns; so instead
Col. Smith was retired.
All this was a year before Pearl
Harbor. But since the United
States entered the war, Col. Smith
has come back again. Officially,
he Is in Military Intelligence. But

WATERBURY FINANCES
(Hartford Times

Having received some exceedingly
unpleasant publicity few years ago
because of municipal scandal, in
volving financial losses of more than
81, O00, 900, Waterbury can again hold
up its head with a sense of restored
pride. For the second successive
year it has closed its books with
substantial balance.
Figures on the last fiscal year
show cash surplus OF $503,000. The
prior year ended with a surplus OF
$4200 900. During the past year out
standing debt in the amount Of
1856 600 was retired. A water sup
ply bond issue of $1000,00O had to
be fioated, so that there was a net
increase in the debt Of $685. 500. The
bonds were sold at the very favor
able interest rate Of 1-2 percent,
showing that the Brass City's credit
Is good.
The SURPRISES were due to effec-
tive collection Of back taxes in a
period when property owners were
able to pay. These last two years
have been fat years. Lean years may
come and wise is the municipality
which reduces its debt and puts its
house in order for the time when
tax income may shrink.

Speaking of the Wilbur L. Cross Park
way once it is being used, and we say
this hopefully, there'll be a similarity
between it and parkway in Westminster
County, N. Y, known as the Cross County
Parkway. It's a link between the Hutchln-
son River Parkway on the east and such
other parkways on the west as Bronx
River, Saw Mill River, and Grand Central.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

| 'When Q1Q you meet tIl1s Ne"
York artist?" asked Miss Martha
Last night" said Dian. Il was
out for a while, and ran into Claire
and him. His names William RoL
Inns"
Miss Martha shrugged. Il should
think having him in town while
Paul's here would sort of compii'
cate matters.
Dian laughed. 'It does" she
said. She pushed back her chair.
"I'll run up and do my room, and
then get started"
81 Think said Miss Martha,
'that you're going out to the 1arm
this morning just to annoy me. -
"Why, Aunt Martha! What a
thing to say!''
"Its certainly mighty queer,

morning you know Jerome's going

we certainly need to sell some

as we'll as I do"
"Of course I do. But who on
earth would want to buy those
things Pa painted?'
"Maybe they aren't so bad as
you think them," Dian said. "Any-
way, I want to get the reaction OF
someone who really knows. She

and have look at Betsy she
called back. 81 not only got her
innards to purring, but I lifted her

"She certainly needed a little
polishing up" said Miss Martha.
''All right, I'll 60 look. I must say
you do know how to take years off
her,
Dian waited until she heard the
closing of the back screen door,
then she glanced at her watch. 1t
wasn't 9 O. clock yet. but she wasn't t
going to let that deter her from
what she was about to do. She
picked up the telephone and asked
for the number of the Ardendale
| Inn.
May 1 speak with Mr.. William
Rollins?' she asked when the clerk
at the Inn answered. "Tnjs is Miss
Dian Weston calling
"Just moment, Miss Dian,
the clerk said. Il think he's hav-
ing breakfast. I'll page him."
In no time at all Bill Rollins
was at the other end Of the line.
Hello, Dian!" he called chee-i-
ly.
81 do hope you'll forgive me for
calling you so early Dian said.
''but l find I've got to get out to
the farm and back before noon,
and wondered if you could leave
earlier than we planned.
Certainly I can Bill said. Its
marvellous morning-and I've a
hankering for the country. Shall
l come out now?'
NO said Dian. "Tll pick you
up at the Inn. In about half an
hour. Will you be through break
fast by then?'
"Oh. yes. I'm just waiting for
my eggs!" He laughed. But I'd
even forego them-for a ride"
Two receivers clicked back into
the hooks. Dian raced up the steps
to her room. She gave the bed a
lick and promise, and got out
the blue linen. 1t wasn't exactly
the thing to wear out to show a
man lot of musty paintings
stored in a farmhouse attic, but
what of it? She wanted to look
her best, didn't she? OF course she
did. And while she prepared to

He drained his cup. Il hope you

"Thanks!' said Paul. 81 hope

I'm not going to try. I'll succeed
if it takes every minute of my

''That's the spirit!" said Bill.
"And now if you'll excuse me, I'll
go stand in the sunshine and have
a smoke while l wait for DIAN"
Paul waited until Bill had risen
from his chair, and then he said,

But Paul Peters was wrong
about Claire's sleeping late. Like
Dian, Claire also had awakened
early. She had had plans.
She was now facing her mother
in the breakfast nook of the ram
bling old Lester home. She slipped
glass Of orange juice and
watched the way the brilliant
morning sunshine played over the
breakfast silver and china.
"What time did you get in last
night?" her mother aszed, break
ing off a piece of Melha toast.
'It was this morning, darling"
Claire said. Around 2 am"
What on earth kept you out
that late?"
''I was eloping."
What" Mrs. Lester choked on
the piece of Melba toast, and
reached for a glass of water.
'Take it easy, darling" Claire
laughed. The elopement didn't
come off. The storm kept us from
getting to the justice of the peace,
and so here's your darling daugh-
ter-still unmarried.
claire, stop trying to be funny,
and tell me everything that hap
pened.' Mrs. Lester got rid of the
toast and leaned back in her chair,
staring at her daughter. Were
you eloping with that artist from
New York?
mo, mother. The man was Paul
Peters,"
well, of all things!"
But the man from New York
was partly to blame for the failure
of the elopement.'
