I always think of you as the older. You're Christie"
 "Yes," Christie smiled. "Is Ste phen here, Mrs. Marston? I re- membered this was his day of, and I wanted to see him."
 Don't you hear him singing in his bath? He always does that when he's happy. I've wanted to thank you for what you did = about his job. But he's giving it up, after all. He's going to enlist
 "Enlist!" Christie exclaimed.
 "Yes. You see he wanted to long ago, but he couldn't because of me. was preety sure that was how 1t was, and so when I heard about a position open for teacher of languages, I applied. And I got itw
 Christie met her beaming eyes. T think you're both grand she said.
 We're just average Americans, l" Mrs. Marston said. Isn't 1t ter ribel about the explosion at the | aircraft plant?"
 T hadn't heard" Christie re- piled. T was away from home all morning."
 Tt happened a short while ago. Lots of the workers were injured they say Here's Stephen. He must have heard your voice. Now, my dear, if you'll excuse me, I'll run back to my baking"
 Stephen" Christie began. T came because you're the only one I could turn to. We're in trouble. Jan has run away"
 Run away! Why?"
 She saw the color leave his face.
 I'm not sure"
 Christie broke of, suddenly. In flash of understanding, she was sure. Jan had run away because she believed Christie had meant stephen when she told her there was someone else" Jan always had magnifled every small incl dent connected with him. And Jan had rushed of before she could tell her about Sandra.
 
 Stephen Christie asked, i'm. pulsively, "are you in love with Jan?"
 You don't know how much" stepqhen answered softly. T didn't know how much either until just now, though I began to suspect 1t that day in the park. I carried 8 torch for you for q long time = you were so gallant and kind. But all the time, Jan's funny little face with those woe-begone eyes kept bobbing up.
 And then that day in the park, l realized 1t was Jan. You had on her coat, and you looked SO for- lorfl and unhappy. When you stumbled and I put my arms around you. I knew, Christie. I had almost lost my head, because you looked Nike J&n."

I'm glad" Christie smiled at him. Because you, see, Stephen, Jan loves you, too. She couldn't stand by, because she thought you were still carrying that torch"
 "I'll find her." Stephen said con fidently. "She won't have any doubts, when do."
 They drove to the Colton home and found Mrs. Cotton in tears.
 Mother" Christie asked, where is that note?"
 Mrs. Colton held out Jan's pa- thetic little scraWl.
 T seem to have been following a lot of wrong roads," Jan had written. Nov, I'm starting on a new one. I have a job. It's in the welding department. What I do isn't much. but I feel I'm doing a little something for the country, and they say girls are good at this job"
 ''In the welding department -" Stephens voice was hoarse.
 Christie's eyes flew to his. searching them for reassurance I'm of to find Jan," Stephen said, adding grinly: I've got to-"

SERIAL STORY
JAN RUNS AWAY
HENRY
CHAPTER X

Days that followed were to be remembered as part of nightmare. Bart's answer to her letter had come: "It's up to you"
 So he was willing to give her q divorce. If she had needed any proof that he had stopped caring, here 1t was Its up to you"
 Jan had come by for her coat and found Christie with her face drawn by weeping. Hey! Whats up? Biscuit burned? Cake tum- bled?"
 "Bart and are breaking up," Christie said in a smothered voice.
 You are crazy. You couldn't mean it," Jan said in low tense tone.
 Christie lifted her tear-drenched eyes, meeting Jan's searching gaze. Axt,s fantastic, Jan. But it's true"
 "How awful. What did you tell Bart?"
 T told him had found out there was someone else"
 You're sure, Christie?" Jan's lace was white.
 "Yes, I'm sure" Christie was fhiinking of Sandra and of four cold, unemotional words.
 T suppose ought to say hope you'll be happy" Jan's voice Cholsed.
 Christie looked up at Jan and was startled. She had caught 8 glimpse of herself in a mirror ala0rt while before and had seen a1y2 with a white drawn face looking at her with somber eyes. And Jan looked exactly like the girl in the mirror.
 "But I don't wish you happiness, Christie. I hope youIl be miser- able"
 The door had slammed behind her.
 Christie went to the window and called, Jan, Janw But her sisters car was roaring of.
 AHcw terrible of her to say tkat,~ Christie whispered, broken iy. She had known that Jan was fond of Bart, but to defend him with such fierce bitterness she would never understand 1t. "She didn't even ask why" Christie Thought.

Only yesterday one of her co-workers hnd said, "I,m afraid you are working too hard. We all want fD, but there's g limit to strength.

HONOLULU SOLDIER TALKS
WITH HIS MOTHER HERE

The wonders of modern science are
never more strikingly exemplified
than in the astounding mystery of the
long-distance telephone. One may ex-
plain the mechanism of the instru-
ment, but the invisible force, the
ethereal power, is beyond the ken of
mere man.
Notice Of this wonderful medium of
communication is hereby made, since
its value and real comfort to war
disrupted families, was realized in a
Pocomoke City household this week.
VIM. Bounds, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William E. Bounds, Walnut Street, is
with the U. S. forces in Honolulu. The
idea of Mothers Day is worldwide in
its acceptance, and on Saturday, the
soldier boys mind and heart were
conferred on his people and affairs at
home. He was allowed to call up his
parents and talk to them over the
wide expanse of territory The solid
comfort and enjoyment Of such a con-
versation, is best realized by the par
Elephants themselves. The voice of the
absent son came clear and strong.

Norman Johnson, 66, was killed in
stantIy Saturday night when he step
ped from a parked machine into the
path Of another car at an intersection
of routes 13 and Alb at Westover. He
resided in S omerset county, near this
city, his home being located at the
junction Of the.old and the new roads
leading to Dividing Greek, the roads
crossing near the log cabin formerly
used BY the Pocomoke Boy Scout
troop.
The driver Of the car, a. reported,
was Mr.. VIM. T. Bunting, we'll
known farmer residing near this city.
From all the circumstances, the ac-
cident seems to have resulted entire
ly without blame to Mr.. Bunting. The
negro stepped, as above stated, di-
rectly in the path of the car, thereby
making the tragedy unavoidable. Mr..
Bunting Immediately stopped his car,

Emphatic Dissent to

The War Labor Board decision on

sharp clash of views, it was dis
closed last night when formal
opinions were made public in the
case in which 250.00O workers won
q raise retroactive to February Is.
The decision, involving five
United States Steel Corp. subsid-
iaries, was announced Tuesday.
The majority opinion, written by
Dean Wayne L. Morse. public mem
ber, said the 51a -cent-an-h in
crease was made retroactive as
asked ry the employees because any
other ruling would have been based
"on purely legalistic grounds of
form and not of substance"
Four employer members of the
board, strongly dissenting, asserted
labor's arguments and voting in the
case invited Reputation and re-
taliation."
The companies had wage agree
ments with the CIO United Steel
Workers providing for reopening OF
the contracts on 10 days notice or
cancellation on 20 days notice. No
tice was not given until July, after

The contracts, therefore, were in
effect until August 9, and the COM

said that the increase was made
retroactive to February 15-paral-
leliug that In Little Steel "in
order to maintain the same rela-
tionship which has existed in the
steel industry since 1921"
In the formal majority opinion,
Dean Morse said that for the union
to have given notice in February
to Big Steel and other companies
in the industry would. in actu-
ality, have resulted in the impossi-
bility of following through with
negotiations in 20 days, as required
in the contract and would have
thus, as a practical matter, brought
to an end a large number of the
most important contracts in the
basic steel industry"
That, he said. would have re-
suited in widespread uncertainty
and confusion and the postponing
OF such formal notice until after the
Little Steel" decision was 'in the
best interests of maximum steel pro-
duction"

Steel case then lin February pend

duction from workers who, in all

them on purely legalistic grounds

contracts could be placed solely
upon the union and that its rea-
