THAT WELL-KNOWN "NEST EGG"

Ir one city in Florida a movement has
been started to raise community chest
fund of almost half million dollars
We had heard that bushes was mot
so good in that city, despite the fact that
thou-ands CT soldiers and sailors are sta
toned thcrc Gr in its envirOns.
That city always has been "one-crop"
town, ard, like one-crop farmers, it runs the
risk Of not being able to make both ends
meet should anything adverse happen 60
its zone crop"
Tourists comprise that Crop" and
The war, with the resultant rationing of tires
and gasoline has wellnigh eliminated The
crop" this season.
Stree Key West lost nearly all of It's
industries, tourists have been an important
"crop" to us also. But we have not been
wholly dependent on it; besides, We have
been fortunate in having millions spent
here for defense projects. And the spend
ing IS still continuing, with not the least
indication yet OF. its being curtailed. For
the first time since the last World War,
Key West is not in need of a community
chest Everybody who is able and willing
to work car get job and families in every
stratum of the social scale are benefited.
That brings us again to something we
have discussed several times. 1t may be cpl
tomized in this warming: This is the time
to save, Key Westers, while the harvesting
is at its height; be sure the day is coming
when most of us will not be able 10 save; be
sure the time is coming when hard times
again will be "a-knockin' at the door
While we hope that the community
chest will be brimful when the collections
are concluded in the city in question, we
should not forget to be grateful for our
boom that is supplying every home with
more money than has gone into it in many
a day, but we should rot forget it will not
be always thus, and should be thrifty
enough to lay aside that well-known
NEST egg"

UNITED NATIONS MUST STAY UNITED

There is a lot of nonsense in the air
about the terms of peace when the war IS
over but it is encouraging that people are
beginning to think about the problem OF
the postwar world.
There looms one unacceptable fact IL
any consideration of Europe, which 1t Will
do we'll to keep constantly in mind. That is
the undoubted fact that, when Germany IS
whipped, the Russian army will be the
greatest force on the continent.
Such being the case, and there is no
way to dispute it, peace plans that do not
sit we'll in Moscow may have little or no
Importance when the time comes 10 settle
the war. The Soviet will have it's own ideas,
perhaps, about defense line" and the Red
army will probably be on it when the ar
miStice comes.
The leaders of our four largest United
Nations are agreed upon the necessity of
preventing another war. This means secur-
ity against German attack 1t is possible
that Russia, having experienced the invad-
ing Nazis, will have different idea of
Security than the Americans and the
British, who are bit farther removed from
the German menace.
AS near as we can see the world Situa-
ton shapes up into this, that there must be
effective cooperation between the United
States, Great Britain, China and Russia
Each nation may have to make some con-
cessiors to get the benefits of cooperation.
1t is necessary for Americans to bear
this in mind. Meanwhile, the United Nations
must get on with the war. Victory is the
only important item on the present agenda
When it is secure there will be time, if need
ed, to get together with our allies in intelli-
gent and cooperative consideration TO lesser
problems.

MALTA'S BRAVE ROLE

large reinforcements of war materials and
supplies have been landed at Malta with
out major interference from the enemy"
While the Mediterranean is not as yet,

to deliver the goods to the island fortress
contrasts strangely with the pounding that

Beyond Their Depth

1T TOOK quite while to ex-
change stories with all the ac-
companying details. Joyce told
everything except the finding of
the man In the closet. but Della,
although she gave all her impress
Sions had very little to add. She
had opened the door, and some
one = Raeburn, probably - had
been waiting behind it. #
He hit your" Joyce asked. br
"He threw something over my
head, His coat, / imagine. He must
have hit me-there'S little bump
on my head and it's sore-but ]
didn't feel it at the time. / don't
remember it anyway. / thought
I'd just tainted"
Stand up" Joyce ordered,
"and let's see if you're all right"
"Of course Pm all right"
joyce watched her and decided
she was. She was glad of this be-
cause she had made up her mind.
| It would be pretty horrid for
Della but it had to be done. She
took a breath and stood up.
"Come on" she said, and led the
way to the other room.
She put Della in the leather
chair but before she could speak
the girl gave a quick gasp and
pressed her fingers to her mouth
as though to stifie it.
"But, Joyce !" Her eyes were
wide and startled now. ut wasn't
Raeburn! He's not the one that
came last evening. It was another
man."
81 know"
But what does it mean?
What"
wait" Joyce made her voice
/ calm and took out cigarettes. She
was deliberately silent until Della
had a light; then she said: "You
mustn't let it get you. but think
you'll have to know. There's a
dead man in that closet"
ooh" Quick alarm f1icked at
Delia's face, but she had rebuilt
her forces well and she accepted
the announcement with relative
calmness. "Oh," she said again,
her voice remote.
"And when you're ready"
Joyce said, 81 think you should
look at him and see if he's the
one"
I'm ready now"
Joyce watched the girl stand
on her feet. ITS not a pleasant
sight"
I'm all right" She lifted her
chin and smiled sardonically.
Really. I think I've been condi-
toned for most anything now"

The Same Man

Joyce stepped to the closet and
- opened the door. She realized
then, that she, too, had been con-
ditioned. Everything was different
now. Before, her nerves had been
strained and raw because of her
fears for Della, and terror had
struck without warning; now she
was prepared. There was a job to
do and she tried to face it with
reasonable objectivity.
The closet, she saw, was large
with rough shelves along either
side. On the left these had been
filed with stacks of paper-fiile3
manila folders. On the right there
were some books and suppiies-a
quart bottle of ink, boxes of en-
velopes, packages of paper. At the
back of the closet and between
the shelves was an old wooden
filing cabinet, or rather a section
of one, which was perhaps three
feet long and eighteen inches
high. 1t was against this that the
man sat.
His feet were spread. the legs
forming a wide v, and although
his body sagged in the middle his
head was tipped back, the neck
resting against the edge of the
filing cabinet so that his face had
an upward tilt. 1t was difficult
now to imagine what he had been
like in life, but to Joyce it seemed

Joyce turned, realizing she had
been so intent in her own study
that she had not heard Della come
up beside her.
'He's the man. I'm sure of it."
Joyce eased Della away from
the doorway. seeing the white
ness around her mouth, but not
ing with relief the controlled
steadineSs of the brown eyes. She
closed the door.
What should we do?" Della
asked.
81 think we should telephone
Jack Fenner."
"Oh?"
"And l think we've got to call
the police"
"Joyce!"
II mean it. Look, darling" She
motioned Della back in the chair
and stood in front of her, slim
and straight in her checked tweed
coat, her hands thrust deep in the
pockets, her eyes somber In the
shadow of her hat brim. Here
we are, a couple of rankest anna
teurs trying to figure out a MUIR
der all by ourselves, and without
getting involved. 1t doesn't make
much sense, does it?"
Asking Fenner
II SUPPOSE it doesn't" Della
i said YEARLY. Only"
Il know" Joyce said, "but let's
think it out. We've confided in no
one. and naturally no one can
help us. Neither of us has the
faintest idea of who killed Perry
Clarke. We've decided it wasn't
Ward-not logically, but because
we've made up our minds not to
admit it. Kent might have helped
us but we wouldn't tell him; your
uncle Dean might have helped.
We've even been naive enough to
think that we could keep on
skirting the edges indefinitely
without being caught at it by the
police. And now we have two
murders on our hands. I think
we're getting beyond our depth.
Pm also quite sure that you are
lot more involved than you
imagine"
''Me?"
"Why do you think Lieutenant
Bacon asked you to look at that
cigarette case this morning?"
Della looked puzzled. The hair
on the side opposite the part had
fallen across the angle of her
forehead and she shook it slightly
and pushed it back.a
"You had a drink with Clarke"
Joyce said. "You must have left
our fingerprints on that glass.
lou definitely left them on the
igarette case"
Della accepted this with resig-
nation. "You knew it." she said.
That's why you asked to see
It"
But you see what 1 mean. They
must know by now that you were
II Clarke's apartment. You can't
deny it and you'll have to tell
them something. I believe you
could tell the whole story-except
the part about seeing WARTS car
without making it any worse
for yourself"
Della thought it over. She
looked at Joyce, studying the
lines of her face and seeing the
irect and steadfast eyes. When
oyce talked like that you had TO
/ ten. The quiet good sense of
De arguments impressed her and
he was treasured.
''All right. Whenever you think
IS best"
Joyce went to the desk and
picked up the telephone.
Il don't say we should tell the
police but I think we should be
ready if we have to. I think we
should ask Jack Fenner and do
what he says"
