"All the more reason to dance with me-" he said cheerfully. I'm not a professional either"
 He was not to be put of with casual excuses, Enid saw. Rather helplessly she let him help her out of the car and lead her around to the front entrance of the dance pa- vilion. He brought . strip of dance tickets, and they went down the shallow steps to the dance floor. Dr. Holiday, as he had freely ad- mitted, wasn't a good dancer. He seemed to know only one step and 1t kept them turning around and around, but there was no place to go on the crowded dance floor any, way. Enid gradually grew less tense. There wasn't much chance of anyone she knew spotting her in such a crowd, either. The music sighed to stop. That calls for another one," the doctor said and clapped his hands. Enid smiled enchantingly. She was be- ginning to enjoy this.
 It was their second time around the floor that she saw Tom and Phil. They were seated at a table on the terrace, drinking beer and watching the dancers. She stopped abruptly and her stomach went cold. Dr. Holiday looked down at her.
 Whats the matter?"
 She pulled at his arm. T feel faint. Let's get out = of here" She didn't know how white her face was.
 He guided her to the steps and up. He didn't release her, arm until she was seated in the car. Feel better now?" he asked anxiously.
 She nodded her head. ''Yes, !" lamely. T guess 1t was going too long without eating - and then dancing"
 T was enjoying it." he said simply.
 T was too" she said quickly, until"
 Until what"
 She floundered. "Oh, nothing"
 She could feel his keen glance on her face in the semi darkness. But they were half way back to town before his warm chuckle broke the silence.
 What are you laughing at2" Enid asked in 3 small voice.
 He chuckled again. "I'd give a lot to know who 1t was you saw that made you want to leave so suddenly"
 She tried to be indignant. T didn't see anybody. I told you I felt faint" Her voice traiIed miserably. He didn't believe her. That was the worst of lying. You started with one little deception, and that made another and anoth- CT one necessary. If she wasn't posing as stranger in the town she wouldn't have to deny having seen someone she knew at the Del Rio.

flowers.
 Her reward was the look pr. Rol- liday gave her when he joined her in the hall, a look of admiration and acceptance.
 "He really thinks I belong to his class" Enid thought as she settled beside him in the seat of the con- vertible. T wonder how he'd act If If he knew I was . $20-a-week ste- nographer oil on a binge?" But she couldn't feel sorry for the deception at the moment.
 Dr. Holiday took the river road. He had the top down on the car and above them the stars shone big and luminous, and were reflected in the still dark reaches of the river. As they drew near the Club Del Rio they could hear the dance music. Enid remembered the last night she had been there with Tom, the night they had run into Grace Dingline and Norma Senton from the of1lce.
 Dr. Holiday interrupted her thought. Want to stop and listen to the music?"
 Enid nodded her head in assent. He nosed the car into an empty space beside the high paling fence that separated the open-air dance floor from the parking lot. There was a colored band in the shell. and they were concentrating on wailing blues. The twisting, writhing mass of dancers seemed to like them. There was hardly standing room left on the floor.
 Dr. Holiday motioned for service to 8 pert waitress who had just brought Q tray to the next car. What will you have?" he asked Enid.
 She smiled. "You must be A mind reader. I just remembered that I hadn't had any supper"
 "Why didn't you tell me? wen go inside and order a steak"
 "No. A sandwich Is all I want. It's rather silly, isn't it, to forget meals"
 He gave their orders to the wait ing girl and turned back to her. "If I'm not being inspertinent = what made you forget?"
 "Oh, I was busy painting"
 That's right. You told me you were fashion artist. By the way. have you landed a job yet?"
 Enid shook her head. NO - I'm not having much luck"
 He considered for Q moment. T might be able to help you. Sam Thornton, head of the advertising department at Lilley's, is a good friend of mine. Would you like a letter to him?"
 Would 1s" Enid echoed fervent- ly.
 "11l write one when we get beck, 1" he promised. The band glided into q hot rendition of Blues in the Night" The doctor hummed tt lightly under his breath. Impulsive- ly he turned to her. Let's dance, this one"
 'Oh-I don't dance well"

GOOD NEIGHBORS CHAPTER VIII

Somehow she 1GLt an aW1ul 1Ool. She had thought he was unmarried. Something he had said about his bachelor apartment had given her that impression.
 Enid couldn't decide whether she was glad or sorry about what she had learned, as she undressed for bed. If Dr. Holiday was a divorced man, he was a free man. And yet --the feeling was so hay that she had difnculty analydng it = a di- vorce somehow tarnished him in her mind. It was like seeing. unexpect- edly, clay feet on a marble statue.
 She pulled her thoughts up sharply. She was being very silly to think about 1t all. What was 1t to her? Divorced or single, Dr. Henry Holiday was hardly likely to become interested in her. Asking her to stay for supper with him and his son had been only a friend ly gesture of thanks.

Stop This Chatter

If Representative Mays prophecy that the
war will surely end this year and certainly
not later than next were based on definite in
formation (Which he clearly lacks) there
would be universal "thaak God" But as it
| is obvious that the chairman Of the house
military committee was merely thinking wish
fully. it is equally plain that his declaration
was not only in bad taste but could do ines
timable damage to the peoples morale.
If the war is to end so quickly, many per-
sons will ask why all this bother about home
defense, why all these measures for protec-
/ ton, these preparations for future emer-
gencies, this stir and constantly recurring
campaigns for volunteer workers in units con-
cerned with security? Why, indeed, this pres.
sure for heavier war bond purchases, for sac
rifices of many kinds, in the sacred name of
victory? II victory is sure and so near at
hand, why keep harping the need for
everybody to 60 all-out for it?
Were Mr.. May justified in making his fore
cast, none of these questions would be i'm
proper On the contrary, they would be emf
nently in order. But as it happens, neither
Mr. May nor any person in this country or
any other country involved in this war can
say when it will end, or even with which side
it can be terminated this year or in l945,
the victory will lodge We may believe that
and we may be firmly convinced within our
own minds that the victory will be ours; but
that is as far as it is safe to go. And even
then, the conviction Of ultimate victory for
of us to do whatever needs doing to make it
the United Nations must have firm founda-
ton in the determination of every last soul
possible.
1t is great pity that no means has been
found to stop the foolish chatter of some men
in high places, who not only add to the gen.
eral confusion by spreading false reports but
play directly iato the hands of the enemy by
weakening public morale.

So This Is London

We on this side Of the Big Pond have beer
accustomed to think Of London chiefly as {
war-harassed city, somewhat in ruins, u
preserving in the daily routine of bushes
and domestic life, overflowing with foreign al
lied dignitaries, military missions, refugee
from Europe's Nazi-occupied countries, ane
brass hats.
1t is probably all Of this. But it is also q
bizarre city with many cross sections of hu
manity in various guses.
Something OF what is London today is re
vealed in an Associated Press dispatch. If tn,
picture is on the carnival side it is to be re
membered that it is drawn in the street.
rather than at No 10 Downing Street
Britain's capital reflects picturesquely
and neutrality-suspicious. more so than any
other great city-the human comedy of

An ever-present splatter of uniforms as
various as the natioaalities of those who
wear them. .Incessant babel. Wander
ing Wlllles who live by means they alone
must know. Street beggars who make
only pitiable show of amusing the crowds
with rusted, creaking antics creatures as
useless and as dispirited as bomb-Wreck-
ed buildings
The messianic complex flourishes and
SO does fortune-telling. Peoples beset by
great unpredictables of the war are as
sured that professed soul-saving is facile
business.
Clalrvoyants satisfy Corporal So-aad-So

munitions, and wait his return, rather
than yield to the Establishments of some

The war has produced in Lonaon curl
GUS lot of derelicts, chiselers, mounte-
| banks, za-ies and danes of passage, as
| well as number of extraordinary occu-
pations, but the tides of the battle have
washed up few persons queerer than the
flyposter.
| With paste-bucket in hand and a pack
OF bills slung over his shoulder, he pads

derline. Not quite illegal, yet not alto

of the flyposter.
| Already it is being said that the fly
poster is wrath, something created to
embellish today's twisted folklore.
He leaves his works behind him with a
cunning inevitability Only a few persons
claim ever to have seen him smearing his
stuff on wood and stone.
The flyposters are employed by two or
three companies in London but the code
doesn't forbid mutual aid. From time to
time the firms borrow one another's men,
which, OF course, makes it difficult always
10 know whose side one is on.

Davis Is Right

Elmer Davis, head of the new war infor-
nation bureau, voices the opinion of the
press generally and of most private citizens
when he complains of the secrecy surround
ing the trial of the eight enemy agents in this
country with the obvious intention of sabotag-
ing our war industry and spying on our war
effort.
Inasmuch as these men were trained for
their work in Nazi spy schools and came with
definite instructions as to what they were to
do. if they could, it is difficult to see how
any information obtained from them in court
could prove of aid or comfort to the enemy.
The chief reason for secrecy, therefore, is
eliminated.
Mr. Davis request that reporters be per-
mitted to attend the trial was eminently rea-
sonable It's refusal was, literally, an insult
to the integrity, intelligence and judgment OF
the American press. Surely no reporter would
exceed his normal rights and privileges, or
violate the dignity of military court
If, by any chance, testimony were given
which might help the Germans, word from
the court would be enough to prevent its trans
mission to any newspaper.
We are fighting to continue the American
way of life Can we justify this fight if we
begin to abrogate one of its cardinal prln-
ciples-the freedom of the press?

TOP o. THE MORNING

Though all the churches of the earth be
blown
To bits by high explosives from the skies,
Up from their foundations, stone by stone,
Their walls will lift again; their spires will
rise;
Their windows, stained with jewel fire,
will shed
Clear light upon the upturned faces there;
Hands will dispense again the wine, the
bread;
And at new chancels men will kneel in
prayer.
For deeper than the earth the Lord has laid
The granite rock on which His churches
stand,
And He alone, with unseen pick and spade,
Has delved and grappled with mighty
hand,
And nothing can destroy his work, His
word,
Nor the Rock Of Ages, Jesus Christ our
Lord.

Alexandria's harbor, became a
gateway to the East when the city
was founded by Alexander the
Great in 332 B. C. Its growth anG
prosperity has since been the re-
suit largely of its position midway
between the East and the West.
In the days of the Roman EN-
FIRE it became the second city in
size and magnificence. In the sew
enth century it was credited with
some four thousand palaces, as
lnany public baths, three times as
many shops, and 400 theaters and
