THE STORY: Blythe Miller is enraged when she hears Nancy
 Hale promise a gambler that she will give sleeping pills to Cadet Pilots Duane Hogan and Norman Dana, keep them from playing in the weeks big service college football game. Nancy, a homeless, pennilesS young soldiers widow, has been living and working at Lincoln Field since she was res- cued from an auto accident. Nancy Is in love with Duane-at least she has seemed to be-and so is Blythe. Blythe has decided not to turn her over to the pO- lice because of Nancy's baby son. But she is worried because she feels that Nancy'S treachery is somehow connected with a fat envelope in the desk of her father, Pop Miller, the football coach. She had seen the gambler coming from Pops office. And now Pop sends her to borrow loaded gun!
 
 & FAINT HEART T CHAPTER XIV
 Big Duane Hogan's presence seemed somehow to fill the entire Miller household. Mother Miller herself fitted around him admir- angly, fondly, slightly embarrassing the young man. Would he have of his coat. Would he take his rocker. He must stay for lunch. Pop will be so glad you called again, he thinks SO much of you. Blythe is in with him. It was so grand the way you played Saturday. When have you heard from home, and lunch will be ready in half an hour.
 He got in few yes ma'ams and no ma'ams and thank you ma'ams, and then Pop shouted for him.

Mrs. Miller broke the strained situation by announcing lunch She refused Pop permission to get up, then said she would bring hei lunch into the bedroom to cal with him. Duane found himself in the cheerful, sunny breakfast nook. alone with By.
 This is good" he ventured. q mean, being here"
 "Is it, Duane? Oh"

 "Id love to meet your mother"
 "You will"
 They ate in silence while By contemplated that. What did he mean? Nothing, probably. No, just cahnce remark. Polite.
 She lifted her eyes from her soup bowl to see him making crazy motions, poused with her lips parted as she watched.
 Silently with his hands he did this and that. He was smiling boyishly. She felt that quickening of her pulse, that deep ecstacy which only Duane Hogan had ever stirred in her. Here was e price, less moment of intimacy with him again.
 T don't quite get that one." she admitted smiling back at him. "Is it-do you mean"
 He laughed audibly then. "It's me, I guess. I'm not too good myself. What I was trying to say is-pass the crackers"
 "Oh DuaneI"
 '.Mmm. But I just don't know what the Indian sign talk for Pass the crackers is. Guess they didn't have crackers. huh, Bly? I was trying to concoct some- thing"

Educators Program
Includes Plans for
'DemobiIizotion Doy'

Because civilian defense efforts
are begging down in many commu-
mites due to lack of effective in
structional methods, the services of
the Nations colleges, universities,
public and parochial schools have
been offered to the Office of Civilian
Defense through a group of go lead
ing educational organization banded
together more than a year ago as
the National Committee on Educa-
tion and Defense.
The proposal by the executive
group of the national committee
followed recent meeting with Dean
James M. Lands, o. c. D. executive
officer, and Commissioner of Educa-
ton John w. Studebaker. Accord
ing to L. H. Dennis, executive Sec
retary of the American Vocational
Association and secretary of the
national committee, the Executive
Board acted on the following points
l. AS sts--t toward preparation
for Rehabilitation day" the COM
mittee provided for two preliminary
investigations; one to explore what
possible action might be taken for
educational reconstruction in the
United States, including the prob
lens of service men after their
period of service; the other would
explore possible steps leading to a
general educational reconstruction
program in this country in relation
to world construction problems after
D-day.
2. Initial steps were taken toward
full cooperation by the National
Committee on Education and De-
fense with the recently organized
wartime commission of the Federal
Office Of Education.
g. A list of defense activities in
which college women may partici-
pate is to be prepared and circulated
among women's colleges, and a sub
committee will provide instructional
aids and materials for their training
4. Arrangements were made where
by subcommittee on military af-
fairs may call upon representatives
OF the professional schools in de-
termining recommendations for de-
ferment from selective service of
certain types of college students.
D. 1t was recognized that many
rural school departments of voca-
tlonal agriculture are being closed
because of the scarcity of teachers
who enter the armed services.
6. There Is immediate need for
expansion by schools and colleges
OF programs of health and physical
fitness for students as an important
defense measure. The national COM
mittee recommended greater atten-
ton to this problem by all educa-
tional institutions, and that local
school boards provide leadership in
communities where organized lead
ership has not yet been established

PRICES ON GAS
 TO BE REDUCED
Motorists Get zH Cent Slice on Gallon Starting
 Wednesday

Worried motorists, finding their gasoline rationing coupons disap- bearing much more quickly than they expected, found some comfort today in the fact that gasoline prices will be reduced two and a half cents gallon, starting Wed- nesday. The reduction will elini- nate an increase which the Ofiice of Price Administration authorized June %.
 The OPA allowed the price boost five weeks ago because of increased transportation costs borne by oil companies to get gasoline to the eastern states. These costs are now to be absorbed through the Recon struction Finance corporation.
 Prices of other petroleum products will also be reduced Wednesday Kerosene will go down nine-tenths of cent. light heating oil II cents, and residual fuel oil IS cents a bar rel.
 Most motorists find that their A, B and c coupons are being used up much more rapidly than they had anticipated. Holders of A and B books are resigning themselves to the probability that many of them will have to put up their cars for time. Each A book coupon, ol- lowing four gallons, is supposed to be sufficient for a week. State OPA Director Chester Bowles has warned that consumption must be cut down or car owners will find themselves unable to buy gas.

TEACHERS NEEDED
 IN WAR PROGRAM
Instructors in Physics and Mathematics Wanted at
 Once; Shortage Acute

Washington, Aug. 3 - Pointing tc serious shortages of physics and mathematics teachers, Paul V. Me- Mutt, War Manpower Commission Chairman, today urged present and prospective teachers to enroll in tuition-fre Short-term teaching courses set up in 200 colleges and universities under the war program of the U. s. Office of Education.
 Physics and mathematics are basic needs for effective use and de- signing of the highly technical i'm plements of modern war;" McNutt said. We need more teachers to teach more students, immediately and also for the long range pull"
 Commissioner John w. Stude- baker of the Office of Education has reported to McNutt that the teach ing load in these war essential fields of education Is increasing sharply and will continue to increase. At the same time the number of teachers is decreasing, because many of them are being drawn into industry, re- search and the armed forces.
 Summer courses now under way are offering courses under the en- gineering, science and management war training program sponsored by the U. s. Office of Education with federal funds authorized by Con- gress. While students pay no tuition, they are required to provide their own subsistence, travel expenses and text books.
 Each college and university oper- ating under the ESMWT program and offering the special courses will decide the type and length of course most suitable. Many courses are ex- pected to be six or eight weeks in length. An institution may grant credit for courses taken by teachers. It Is also reported that approved in- stitutions may establish of campus courses when the number of stu dents at a given center warrants. Institutions not now cooperating with the ESMWT may make their facilities and staff available as off, campus centers of approved institu- tionS.
 Persons who wish to enrall in the special war courses for physics and ! mathematics instruction should get in touch with the registrar of their nearest ESMWT college or univer- sity. Further information may be obtained from the once of Educa- ton.
