AS the two girls cleared the ia

time?"
Yes. it did-come to think about

then in walked Bill. Honest, Dian,
it was like having a light turned on
in a room that's been dark and
gloomy. He looked at me, and said,
Well, Of all things! Just like that"
why should he say a thing like
that?' Dian wanted to know.
Il wondered about that, too"
Claire said. But afterwards he told
me. 1t seems that he had a contract
to illustrate a story, and couldn't

"Oh, it'll straighten out all

Claire was thoughtful for a mo-
ment. Then she had a sudden idea.
II tell you what let's do" she
said. Lets do our best to persuade
Bill to stay in Ardendale for a week

cut IN. 1T will only complicate
matters between you and Paul"
"Oh, no, it WON'T" Claire said.
"Pauls got a week, and if we can
get Bill to stay that long, we'll
make a foursome. You know, Dian,
four people going everywhere to-

"Ill admit it sounds nice-in
some ways" Dian said. But don't
you think it might be a little en-
barrassing?"
why should it be?
Good Lord, Claire, don't forget
you were all set to marry Bill, and
that your folks knew 1t, even if
others didn't. And the town as a
whole knows you were once en-
gagged to Paul-so-well, there YOU

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Astrologers who have studied the
horoscope Of Hitler find that when
he became the Nazi chancellor, jan
uary 80, 1898, the aspects were
most favorable. AS the Fuehrer is
a student Of the science of the stars
he must know that now the aspects
threatened him and for that reason
encourage the most desperate mea-
sures to defeat the United Nations.
Aspects Of Jupiter in the next
twelve months presage great res
ults through the might and power
contributed by the United Nations.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury Of year Of activity that

beyond the manufacture of propaganda for home
sumption in Japan. The enemy hopes to contain our
air forces the Pacific Coast until his own air
bases are built and manned the Aeutians
1t is three weeks since the Japanese raid
ed Dutch Harbor and landed on Attu. In the inter-
val they have followed the familiar pattern of their
advance in the East Indies. From Attu they moved
on to Kiska where they have landed troops and
erected barracks This brings them within 585 miles
OF Dutch Harbor They may be inching closer
along the Rat Islands. The invasion is now plainly
an occupation Meanwhile have bombed their
ships when the weather permitted. But 1t is ques-
tiorabe whether such sporadic attacks will dis
lodge them and whether major effort, with ample
naval air and ground forces is not required Already
the Japanese at Attu and Kiska hamper any air as
sault may have planned against Northern Japan
and block our route to Siberia.
These distant landings should not be dismissed as
,nimportant They constitute Japans first toe hold
