You knew it,"
Here's the story, DR.. Mitchell.
The suggestion that we attempt
this purchase and expansion was
made by Senator Depass. You

been there for month or more.

property. We had actually talk
ed once or twice to the St.
George brothers long ago about
this purchase, but they wanted
too much money. After the es-
tate was being settled ! thought
of it again, but never mention
ed it to anyone. Senator De-
pass acted on his own initiative.
Your friend Drake McHugh
bought the place up even before
Senator Depass came to see me"
What about the price?"
1T was appraised and the
price found reasonable. There's
something behind this, of course.
Has anybody on that paper got
q grudge against you for any
thing at all?"

The undertone of irony and
bitterness was strange and sur
prising coming from DR.. Nolan.
You know this--this, what's
his name?-Fulmer Green?"
Since childhood"
What's he like?"
"Braggart, bully, coward, and
liar. He made q circus out Of

paper, is a skunk. You'll see
that Miles jackson will write a
very different piece about 1t.
Might just be that your old chum

Paris called Drake and Randy

would be in q frenzy of worry.

they would not have been able
to reach him. He sounded cheer

from the telephone his head

"Dr. Nolan says six months. ,
Gee. I'm glad for you"
Paris looked curiously al
Drake. and then at Randy. He
wanted very much to know If Il
mattered to them whether he
went or stayed.
Back at the hospital gate, hi
circled the grounds and came
out on Carrier street. In the
second story room Of house al
the end of the block there was q
bright light. Vera Lichinsky
sat at the window, her arms rest,

full on her face and whitened il
to q stoney pallor. She was star
ing fixedly at the huge building
facing her-the gloomy build
ing that seemed even to Parri:
to crouch among the tall trees
and to wait.

"Free as that?" Or. Nolan
smiled, but he looked gravely
after Paris as the door closed.
He had been struck from the be

Paris decided he'd look up
Anna in Dusseldorf. Maybe Herr
B;rdorff in Bavaria. He could
do exactly as he pleased because
is didn't make any difference to
anyone. For the first time he
felt q little depressed about 1t.
Tonight the asylum sounds,
sudden screams and shouts that
thrust through the murmurous
buildings, flicked his nerves like
q lash. He walked slowly down
to see Drake and Randy.
Drake had q lapboard across

Drake nodded. "We're get

Relief From Acute SHORTAGE

Hope that the acute butter
shortage in the Washington
area would be relieved was seen
today in the action of the Office
of Price Administration yester-
day, fixing uniform prices on
sales by professors and whole
salers of butter, cheddar cheese,
evaporated milk and bulk pow-
dered skim milk.
The step was takDA by the OPA
in an effort to eqraize distribution
generally throughout the Nation.
Retail prices were left temporarily
unchanged.
Many stores here were reported
to be without butter yesterday and
others were doling it out in guam
titles of half or quarter-pound

Producers recently have been

The workers had left their homes
last night three hours in advance
of their regular schedule in order to
return home earlier for Christmas
festivities with their families.
Witnesses said it was a miracle"
that a live wire, exposed when the
skidding bus nit a power pole, did
not set fire to gasoline spilled on
Herring Run Greek at the bottom of
the 20-foot ravine.
Many houses in the immediate
neighborhood of the accident were
thrown into darkness, including the
Childrens Home, when the bus
smashed into the pole, breaking loose
main power artery.
Police Capt. William j. Forrest
said first word of the accident was
received in fire alarm.
Two flremen, 1t. Charles Stephens
and Milton Whittlow, were overcome
by gasoline fumes during their effort
to pull occupants from the wrecked
vehicle
