age OF speculation.
Military games are the newest
innovation in the game catalogue,
foremost OF which is America $
Ranger Commands. The object
Of this game is to capture the most
enemy war materiel and do the

Costlier Living
Seen After War

AUSTIN, Tex-UP- A higher
civilization than most persons ever
imagined is possible for Americans
after the present war because of
industrial advancement, DR.. Clar-
ence f. Ayres, professor OF econ
omics at the University of Texas,
believes.
Dr. Ayres opposes the opinion OF
those who think the United States
has reached an industrial peak.
And those who predict that future
generations will be poor because
of the heavy debts incurred during
the war.
we have been successful IN
building industrial sinews, but not
so successful in using them" Or.
Ayers said. Il do not believe we
will emerge from this crisis until
better distribution of wealth IS
brought about. We are going to
have TO live much better than be-
fore if We are to absorb the prod
uets Of this new industrial equip
ment.'
The professor predicted that the
postwar world will find the air
plane used as much as the auto
mobile for trips away from home.
and that plastics, technology and
new method of food preparation
will change radically the average
citizens way OF living.
1T will seem utterly oldfashion-
ed to drive from Austin to Dallas
(200) miles. when an airplane will
take You there in so minutes" DR..

CHAPTER EIGHT

BARBARA Wister caught her
young son to her and forced a
sweater over his protesting head.
She heard the rattle of a truck as
1t stopped before her house and she
looked over Sonny's head and saw
that it was Mike Cassidy who was
getting out and coming up her

from her.

"Mommie make a fire." he said.
Not today" There was only
half cord Of wood in the garage.
She got his arms into the sweater,
kissed his round little face and
went down the stairs, her heart
growing heavier with each foot
step.

brightly, Good morning, Mr.. Cas-

She could smell the coffee she had
put on to boil. Can give you a

damp chill in the house. His profess

"Yes2" she said brightly, falsely,
knowing what he had come 10 say.
Cassidy let out his breath and
lost his battle. Il was wonderin' If
maybe a good, hot cup Of coffee
wouldn't go right to the spot
He saw the little sigh Of relief
she could not hide.
Its all made. Make yourself at
home in the living room. I'll bring

He went in and sat down gin
gerly in Marks leather rocker and
eyed the tall shelves Of books that
lined the walls.
She came back in a few minutes
with a tray with two cups Of coffee
and a buttered sugar bun on it.
Cassidy slipped and stirred nois-
lily and drank deeply, noting that
she hardly touched hers and that
when she put her cup down. it
clattered on the saucer in her
trembling hands.
He smacked his lips and took a
second cup.

said, and then took the reins into

Cassidy nodded alphabetically.
"A terrible thing 1t was, ma'am. "
Barbara swallowed hard. There
is some insurance. It hasn't been
settled yet, but I could let you have
$40"
Cassidy put his cup down and
this time it was he who made a
clatter with the saucer. He wiped
his mouth with the back of his
hand and cleared his throat.
"Ma'am, don't be thinking an old
man is trying to pry into your
business, but how are you and the
boy fixed ?"
Before the simple human kindli-
ness in his face, she answered him
simply, saying, mr.. Cassidy, when

The trouble with Roosevelt is that
he hates to fire anyone-especially
one who has been with him long

is that Roosevelt permitted kind
