 BY RED GROSS
Women Asked to Report Monday Morning to Rush
 Bdnddges for Posts

Urgent call for all women on Gastineau Channel to report for Red Cross work at Elks Hall at 10 o'clock Monday morning to work on bandages for First Aid Stations was issued today by Mrs. R. H. Williams, who is in charge of bandage work for the local Red Cross.
 Supplies for the First Aid Stations have just been received and it is important that the bandages be cut, folded, sewed and wrapped for ster- ilization immediately in order to equip the stations on the Channel for use.
 Want Evening Workers
 Because of the large amount of work to be done, the Elks' Hall will be open from o'clock until 10 o'clock Monday evening as well as during the day and all office women and others unable to work during the day, are urgently requested to report in the evening so as to com plete the quota as soon as possible. Work hours will also be maintained on Tuesady from 10 o'clock in the morning until 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, at which time it is hoped that the entire quota of bandages will be completed.
 Take Scissors
 Tables for all women who report will be arranged and instructors will be on hand to start each woman on her duties immediately. All who report for work are requested to take with them pinking shears, if possible, and if not. ordinary scis- sors as well as large white handker- chiefs or scarves to wear about the head.
 First Aiders
 It is particularly important that all women trained in First Aid work turn out for the bandage making in order to learn how 1t is done. so that in case of emergency the sup ply of bandages at each station could be replenished if needed.
 Work to Be Done
 Supplies received are for the fol- lowing equipment, which each First Aid cabinet must contain: 300 ster- ilized 40-inch triangular bandages; 480 small sterilized bandage com presses; 480 medium-size sterilized bandage congresses; 240 large ster- ilized bandage congresses and pack ages of sterile gauge.
 All of these must be cut, folded, sewed and wrapped for steriliza- ton before the First Aid Stations can be equipped, Mrs. Williams said. Hope All Answer Call
 T hope the women of Gastineau Channel answer this call for im- mediate duty as wholeheartedly as they did that of several weeks ago and feel sure that with complete cooperation, this large amount of work can be completed by Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. William said.

LONDON, June 27--It has been reliably disclosed that United States Army Air Force units in the Brit ish Isles gre laying the groundwork for American participation in the mass raids on Germany.
 The dispatches implied that Americans now make up sizeable establishment of their own, although nothing has yet been said to indi- cate whether or not sufficient air craft has arrived for actual offen- sive operations.
 The contemplated cooperation of the RAF formations, according to precedent, will probably be heard from by public announcements, first with blast of bombs over Ger many.

The w ashingtOn Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = Biggest under cover wire pulling in Washington, affecting millions of little business men, is in the selection of the five man board to spend the $200, OOO,0O0 appropriated for small business under the Murray bill.
 Big question is whether this new Small War Plants Corporation is to be administered by real friends of little business or by the same con- servative big business men respon- sible for leaving little business out in the cold.
 This has been one Of the biggest botches of the defense program. In Germany every little garage has been given a war order, small part of an airplane to put together and then send to the assembly line. In England, Beaverbrook licked the bottleneck on airplane production by distributing the business among a host of small factories.
 But in the United States, the pig motor and munitions moguls in- sisted on taking the time and much needed steel to erect brand new plants covering acres of land, ln- stead of farming out production to small factories forced into idleness because of lack of materials.
 Finally Congress. exploding over the plight of small business, en- acted the bill for the Small War Plants Corporation under the lead ership of Senators Jim Murray of Montana and Jim Mead of New York. W

and diesel-motored ships of high tonnage and hijack little yacht for their thimbleful of fuel?
 The New York waterfront is sup posed to be alive with Axis agents who ply stevedores and sailors with drinks to find out sailing dates and destinations of our war cargoes. There's no doubt that there is some information to be gathered from stevedores and sailors, but Common Sense: A stevedore may know what's in a cargo, and when the ship is loaded, but he can't know when it will sail, or where it's go- ing. A sailor may know approx imately when ship will sail, but in this wartime he never knows the destination until he's on the high seas, perhaps not until dawn of the day he lands.

(Second Of T10o Arttcles) BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, July 27 = There is only one thing to do about the kind of rumors floating around in our war effort. The enemy would like to have us get hysterical about them. Therefore apply little con- mon sense to every one.
 If they aren't absolutely authen- ticated statements from govern ment and war officials, give them the raised eyebrow. And don't re- peat them.
 From the vast store of case his tories which the Federal Bureau of Investigation is collecting as a result of digging into practically every one that comes their way, there are many to which this cau- tion can be applied.

Dr. Alexander O. Tower had lived
in Kings Row for eight years. No
one was quite sure where he had
come from. Such arrivals were few
in Kings Row professional ranks
| Usually if new doctor or lawyer
moved in, it was only after looking
over the field and consulting with
the banks and business men. DR.
Tower had settled here without any
pleliminarieS. His wife, and 5-year-
old daughter arrived a few weeks
later.
A few women called They found
Mrs. Tower quiet, well-bred lady
but singularly uncommunicative
Mrs. Tower returned none of the
calls and no further advances We're
made by the town.
So far as anyone knew, Dr.
Tower had never had a patient
After while the office rooms re-
NAMED shattered, and Dr. Tower
was seen less and less frequently
He sent a Negro boy for his mail
and he was known to order a
great many books through Brigh-

too, some of them in French and
German.
1t was said on the authority
of Lucius Curley, the banker, that

known that he drew regular drafts

Everyone heard that he had
fitted up long room at the back
Of the house as a sort of labora-
tory. Bottles and curious appara-
tus and hundreds of books, it was
said. But there was no guessing
what he might be studying OF
working at. Making expert
ments," people said and let it go
at that.
DR.. Tower was the town mys-
terry, and however little ground
there was for speculation, there
was never any lack of whispered
wonder and comment.
For several years now, Mrs.
Tower could be seen every day,
sitting inside her living room VIM
dow. Colonel Skefilngton often
said that Mrs. Tower looked as if
she were afraid. "She's listening
for something" he remarked to

He saw Dr.. and Mrs. Tower
talking quietly together. DR..
Tower was speaking very rapidly
and Mrs. Tower said "sh-h" when
Paris came into the hall. He re-

them, and DR.. Tower bowed
gravely. Mrs. Tower smiled.

response to his formality. Il hope
you'll come again"
Il certainly will" he said
heartily, IF -- if I may" he added.
Cassandra loked cross by this
time. She was almost snappy
when he said goodby.

much buzzing on the playground
about the two parties. Girls whis-
pered together in little groups and
boys asked each other self-con
sciously, (Which party are you

stood that kind of rivalry lay
behind the important question.
Louise Gordon was busy with
her lists. She was certain OF some
Is or SO of Cassandra's guests.
Her mother had undertaken to ex-
| tend some of the invitations in her
behalf. She had suggested more
than once during the course of
her chats with parents how desir-
able it really was to have normal,
healthy children meet and enjoy
themselves under cheerful and
normal conditions. Conditions we
fully understand, you know
Louise spoke to Paris the first
day after her mothers decision.
Il want you to come to my party.
Paris. Saturday. We've going to
have lots OF fun"
I can't, Louise. I told Cassan-
dra I'd come to her house"
Il don't think that makes any
difference if you really want to
go somewhere"
| Paris stared uncomprehending-
| ly. 1t was clear that Louise hadn't
heard what he had said. He began
all over again.
But, Louise, I got Cassandra's
| invitation first, and I cept-cept--
! accepted it. Anyhow she asked
me before"
Louise interrupted him with q
toss of her head that sent her tw/
brown plaits flying. ooh, well, if
you don't want to come, it's all
right, of course"
Cassandra Tower gave no sign.
Seemingly sch was unaware Of the
unwonted excitement. BY Friday
it was apparent that Louise had
gained some valuable assertions.
Opinion and inclination had
been sWaying for two or three
days. Boys had begun to notice
Cassandra more and more and
this was the first chance they had
had to see her at home. But grad
ually it seemed indeed that every
body was going to Louise's.
There were only five guests In
the Tower parlor when Paris ar
rived. They did not represent
leading families, but neither
CaSSanQra nor FarrlS knew IIaC,
Cassandra looked very pretty in
unidentified white dress, but
she seemed beWildered.
I don't know why evrybody's
so late" she said to Paris. II
invited ever and ever so many"
"Oh, WELL" he said casually,
you know how awful busy every
body is on Saturdays. Come on,
let's play something. What do you
want to play, Cassie?"
The party was a failure. Only
one more guest came - Pearl
Houston who lived up on Berry
street. Paris remembered that
someone said the Houstons weren't
very nice - Mr.. Houston worked
in a dairy - but he didn't know
