PLAYING SOLDIER?
CHAPTER VI

The young woman in the gay
dress moved swiftly to Major
Jackson's side
about her whole attitude that
trked Beth Carter.
Lieutenant Carter, this is Miss
Lita Danton," Brit said.
How do you do" Beth said.
"You dear girl - you're dressed
20 oddly" was Lita's answer.
Beth steeled herself and kept
back the retort.
Lita knew instinctively that her
presence disturbed Beth, and she
was satisfied in the recognition.
Perhaps this girls anger would
prove useful someday, she thought.
Besides, who was any girl to take a
moment of any mans time if Lita
wanted that moment?
1T seems SO odd, calling a
woman by an army officers title, "
Lita continued. 80 out of place
you know. Oh, suppose I'm
old-fashioned, and believe a wo-
mans place is in a mans arms"
Beth made no reply. Major
Jackson was maneuvering Lita
Danton away.
"Lita, how on earth did you
get here, and what are you doing
In this part of the world?" jack
son asked.
You thought I was 5000 miles
away, didn't you?" Lita asked.
II confess I did"
Beth felt very uncomfortable.
Lita was monopolizing Brit now,
and there seemed no part of the
present instant that belonged to
Beth.
mo, my darling boy, I'm not
5000 miles away. I'm like the
proverbial bad penny"

hapS in more ways than one."

watching"
Better get the FBI, then" Brit
joked
Beth fancied she saw trace
of shadow cross Lita'S face. But
it disappeared into a torrent of
light conversation
Beth tried to estimate the Wo-
man. She was furious at Lita for
her deliberate sarcasm and snubs.
She was furious at Brit Jackson
for letting Lita get away with it.
And finally she was furious at
herself, for allowing the incident
to hurt her. 1t was a situation
hardly prescribed for in Army
Regulations.
Brit had told Beth she was the
only woman on this remote Pacific
island. Now Lita had appeared.
Was Brits surprise entirely real?
"How's everything back in San
Francisco" Brit asked Lita.
Il haven't been there for the
longest time" Lita answered,
affectedly. I've been working out
in the Orient. Very interesting
work. Brit, dear, I've learned a

NOW she was angry at herself
again, for entering into such a
verbal exchange.

haven't seen each other for SO

want to take ne-down this path

District Insurance Bill
Approval Is Expected

Approval of bill to regulate rates
Of fire and disaster insurance in the
District was indicated by the Amer
lean Druggists Fire Insurance Co.
of Cincinnati today after represent
atives of the company had previous
ly objected to a provision of the
measure during hearings by Sem
a.c District Subcommittee.
Hearings on the measure were re-
orened by Chairman Burton after
David P. Pickrel, general counsel for
the company, had asked for an
amendment authorizing the District
insurance superintendent, Albert F.
Jordon, to allow deviationS from
fixed rates in certain cases Mr..
Pickrel told the subcommittee today
he was satisfied, after talking to the
superintendent, that the interpreta-
ton OF the pending bill would be
broad enough to permit such devia-
tions.
The subcommittee had shown
earlier that % States had some
form OF control over insurance rates
on fire and disaster but that M
such law existed in the District
The bill, patterned after the Vir-
ginia law, was introduced by Sen
asor McCarran of the Senate Dis
trlct Committee. 1t would en-
power the insurance superintendent
TO investigate rates and risks in the
cstegorles OF insurance involved
and to order rate changes where
necessary.
A majority Of the subcommittee
already had acted favorably on the
Dill before the hearings were re-
opened. The report is to be SUBJ

in helping to straighten out court

At meeting of the Offices civil.
ian services directors in the Toner

a period of six months. Due to the
wartime drain of its stenographers
filing clerks and other workers by
the Army, the Federal service and
other higher-paying agencies, the
court had had a difficult time keep
ing up its schedule, she said.
However, plea to the OCD had
brought a hearty response. From
6 to IL volunteers came two nights
week for the first two months and
one night a week for the rest of
the period. These workers were per-
sons holding daytime jobs who will

trict volunteers, more than 80 per
cent are for night work. I'VE

Drive Mapped 10 Bar
Intoxicated Drivers
From Entering D. {.
Official Says Maryland
Will Cooperate
With Van Duzer

Closer cooperation between Mary
land and District traffic officials to
prevent drunken drivers from cross
ing the boundary line into Washing
ton after drinking in nearby Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties
has been promised, it was disclosed
today.
District Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer took the initiative
after 7 Of IS traffic fatalities in the
District last month were found to
have involved motorists who had
been drinking. Four of the seven
Killed were reported to have pur-
chased drinks in nearby Maryland
taverns, Mr.. Van Duzer said, and at
least one was seen to stagger vio-
lently before getting behind the
wheel of his car.
The traffic director wrote to w
Lee Elgin, Maryland commissioner
OF motor vehicles, pointing out the
hazards involved in such cases, and
was assured that Maryland author
lt1es would cooperate to the utmost.
Mr.. Elgin said he would take up the
matter with county officials to de-
termine what steps could be taken
to guard against intoxicated drivers
crossing the boundary line.
There may be certain circum-
stances under which accidents are
unavoidable" said Mr.. Van Duzer,
but those circumstances do not in
clude the driver who has been drink
ing The drunk or even mildly in
toxicated driver is a menace and
has absolutely no business behind
the wheel of motor vehicle"
Washington, at present, has no
official test for intoxica ton in
drunk driving cases. although pro-
posed legislation covering the ques-
ton now is being studied under
sponsorship of the Traffic Advisory
Council, Mr.. Van Duzer pointed out,
adding:
1T is too late to apply these tests
after motorist has killed himself
and perhaps his passengers because
he had too much to drink The solu-
ton rests with the individual and
his conscience. 1t is always we'll to
remember the old adage, Alcohol
and gasoline don't mix"
