his diving suit and went to work.
MIR. DeMille has been a genius in
the theater for the last 40 years, ever
since he wrote the all-time-high
Broadway success, The Return of

been continuously right in Holly

 But in the end she rejected him, too. remembering that he was impulsive and would probably do something terrible because he himself was involved in Nancy's plotting, Presently she had mar rowed the possibility down to one person.
 Duane is the most level headed Blythe reasoned more calmly now. He could help me trap the gamblers, and keep it quiet until after the game, so it wouldn't wreck the whole team.

 She fled from Pops office. She couldn't stay near them. Her tears were not that" kind; not tears of gratitude and friendship; not heart tears. We'll, yes, they were from the heart, surely, Blythe realized. but they were tears of Illustration and anxiety and pain. Sheer physical pain seemed to grip her now, knowing what she knew. having to face Nancy's grand cordiality this way just when she had steeled herself to expose Nancy once and for all
 To make matters worse, baby Scooter tagged along after her, unseen by his mother or Norman. He was distressed because By" was crying. Standing near her there in the empty gymnasium to which she fled, he too was be- ginning to sob when she discov- cred him. She stopped and held the little fellow close.
 Scooter would be sent out to her own home in little while: Mom Miller had asked to keep him and sew for him and "enjoy him all afternoon" Presently By sent him away, then retreated farther.
 She didn't dare go back to Pops ofilce. For one thing. that place would soon resume being a happy, busy madhouse. Countless last minute details concerning tomor- rowB game had to be seen to. Pop would come in with this com mittee and that, go here and there, answer phone calls, talk with everybody. dictate rush letters to Nancy, inspect minor injuries on players. rehash new plays in hush hush tones with his less expen- enced men. Already he appar- ently had forgotten all about the threat to his own safety, so busy was he.
 Blythe slipped unseen into the little sports library that occupied an alcove down the hall from Pop. Tn it he kept few hundred books and magazines devoted to ath- letics, also his big case of loving cups and other trophies collected over the years.
 It was a good place to hide to- day. Nobody would come here, and she could peer out a barred window at the door leading to Nancy Hale's apartment upstairs.

Largest Corn Harvest
Since 1882 Regarded
As Possibility
First Privote Estimates
Place Crop Close to
Three Billion Bushels
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 3.-Crop experts,
after careful survey of the Nations
corn belt, today suggested the pos
sibility that the corn harvest may
be the largest since 1882. when a
bumper yield of almost 5000, 900 900
bushels was produced. These were
the first private or official estimates
to be made this season.
C. M. Calvin, widely recognized
expert, issued an analysis of corn
conditions suggesting a crop of o.
$4,000 900 bushels is possible. This
would compare with 2,673,000, 900
produced last year However, an
other expert. Mrs. E. H. Miller, fore
cast corn production at 2748,000, 900
bushels. If the Miller forecast could
be achieved the harvest would be the
best in a decade.
Calvin estimated condition of the
crop at "a per cent of normal COM
pared with IS per cent a year ago
and predicted yield per acre may be
80 puoilelS, CoLIipdteu Will ol last
year and the 1930-39 average of
only 235.
The two experts estimated tota.
wheat production at 901 100000 anc
903 100000 bushels, compared with
the June l Government forecast OF
o68,000.000 bushels and 946,000 .00(
harvested last year. Their estimates
of oats production ranged from
1,210,000,000 bushels to 1,271 100000
compared with l It's 900 900 last year
