Thank YOU" said Jean stifiy.

iHdHh you, sdIu jean sunny.
And she's been working even
harder" Steve was explaining her
previous anger and silently apollo
giving to her for his questioning.
But Jean was still too embarrassed
to show her gratitude. She wished
violently they would both go on
into Steve's Office. Steve was al
ready holding his door open, but
the chief of police still fingered. In
sudden dismay, she realized his
gaze was fastened on her arm.
"A beautiful bracelet" he was
saying. His cleaning eyes were
narrowed shrewdly. 1T is from
Penzaro's place in Mexico City
the only silversmith in Mexico who
does that work. You got it recent
ly?"
To her annoyance, Jean felt her
face fame. Yes" she said.
Steve's voice cut in with sudden
harsh Impotence, shall we go into
my office, Manzanares ?"
Yes, certainly" beamed the
chief Of police. IF Miss Marsden
will accompany US. should like to
ask her several questions"
Silently, Jean followed them.
Manzanares seemed unaware Of the
strained atmosphere as he launched
happily into his story. we have
just received word from Mexico
City this morning OF some meet
ings the police have been suspect
ing. One was held in an old theater
last week. II was the same time as
Mr.. Parkinson was gone on his
trip"
Il see" said Steve sharply.
80 we will keep our eyes on him
very sharp after this" beamed the
chief.
II don't like the idea Of that
plane Of his buzzing around said
Steve.
ut will be grounded because Of
the defense area here, Manzanares
assured him.
Jeans taut control suddenly
snapped. She glared at the little
man. 1T seems to me that's a very
far-fetched coincidence you're bas-
ing all this suspicion on" she
snapped. She glared at the little
man. IF you are so curious about
that trip TO Mexico City, why
don't you two go up and ask the
Parkinsons about it? I imagine Mr..
Parkinson would be very glad to
explain ii to you in detail"
She caught up the ringing phone,
glad Of an excuse TO get control of
herself. 1t was a girls voice.
This is the telegraph office. We
have telegram here for Miss Jean
Marsden. Is this Miss Marsden?"
Yes" A panic OF premonition
sent the blood pounding through
Jeans head. Trem blingly she
reached for a memo pad on Steve's
desk, and took the words Of the
message in shorthand.
Steve and Manzanares saw the
slow pallor creep over her face, the
pencil drop from her hand as she
replaced the receiver Steve moved
to her side. What is it," he
queried gently.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN


THE NEXT morning the doors
of the rubber company opened to
receive the mass of unskilled work
ers. To Steve and Jean, this. their
long anticipated milestone. had
been reached two days ahead Of
Steve's original schedule It meant
actual work was about to begin.
At seven, few of the really en-
ergetic Mexican souls had arrived,
black hair slicked with oil, grin
ming with affability and excite
ment, to sit patiently on the
ground at the front gate.
Both Steve and Jean we're In the
enormous, newly furnished person
mel room at 8 o'clock when the
stream of applicants was finally
started through the process Of
signing up. A flood of jubilant
Spanish chattering continued unin-
terruptedly. Wild teas sometimes
followed a rejection. And much
back clapping and loud "Vivas"
accompanied the final triumph of
a successful applicant
AS the workers were sent to the
various departments, inevitable ad-
justments had to be made in or
ganization and equipment. Steve
was in almost constant conference
with department heads. And on
Jeans shoulders fell a great deal
Of the work once taken care of by
him. She had thought they had
rushed before, but now, under the
strained speed and added respon-
sibility, all previous weeks seemed
periods Of golden leisure.
She was glad, though. Of this
feverish activity in more ways than
one. Steve's spirits we're rising
buoyantly each day nearer his
goal Of complete factory person
mel. He had a deep sense Of indi-
vidual responsibility toward the to-
tai war effort. The rubber produc-
ton was an important opportunity
to fulfill his obligation of loyalty
II his country. and he was making
the most Of II. with an urgency
that rose aba A., c.1' aces.
Jean was glad also for the rush
because it gave her no chance to
dwell upon her last ride with Cur
ley, TO ponder his strange words
that had followed that brief dis
turbing kiss. NO matter what hap
rens no matter what do

tensity for that one swift moment.
Hadn't they? Or had she been

breathless desire TO believe she bad

She slid a sheaf Of carboned

flirting and love the only impor-
tant activities. Curley poked fun at
her, but he was attracted by her,
too. He would always go after her
when she grew too angry-as he
had at dinner that night.

and crossed to read the memo over
her shoulder.

swept hair. Il like solicitude even

Observations
Communism Seen
as Grave Worry
to Allied Group
BY Charles p. Stewart

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is be-
coming a grave worry to statesmen
Of the United Nations. In fact, IL
threatens To evolve more compiled
tons for them than they have eX-
perienced in connection with Nazi
and Fascist activities.
The democracies have realized
all along that they had the Nazis
and Fascists to fight and that the
Falangists were an undemocratic
influence, though not out-and-out
Sin arms. They also started out on
the assumption that Communism
was at least as bad as the others,
and perhaps even more violent.
The democratic anti-Nazi con-
pick never has worn off, however.
It is bitterer now than ever 1t was
before II is ferocious but no puz-
gle. We know we hate the Nazi
regime; there is no argument about
II. Anti-Falangism is a mere mat
ter Of dislike; not energetic. We
are as anti-Fascist as the law al
lows.
There is a marked distinction,
though An anti-Nazis generally is
an anti-German likewise. But by
no means does it necessarily fol
sow that an antiFascist is an anti
Italian. Indeed. with ltaly's aboli-
ton OF Duce Mussolini, Italians
have gravitated largely into the
anti-Axis classification.
The Japanese do not count in
this discussion. We hate them. to
be sure, but we do it independently.
At last we get down to the ankle
ty-breeding Communists.
They started, in Russia, ahead
of the Fascists and Nazis, away
ahead of the Falan2ists and they
we're a well-organized force all Of
a couple or three generations ago.
Both we and the more moderate
element of the radicals eschewed
, them.
Then they Topped. They appear
ed to have become democrats.
All went well-for a while.
Our Interpretation was that we
had converted the Soviets. Com
rade Josef Stain seemed on the
friendliest terms with us.
Then overnight. Hitler and Sta
lin signed that 1889 pact. Then.
Germany's attack on the Russians
drove the Soviets back into the
pro-democratic ranks.
Any way you look at II, II was
Russian flop Germanyward away
from the democracies. Which is
exactly what would not have been
expected.
The rub it
The democracies had a notion
that Russia had become democra-
tic. Obviously. it had not II had
remained Communistic. or, II you
please, anarchistic.
Italy does not know what the
heck it wants.
Spain knows still less.
Latin America wants what the
United States wants, but is not
clear on the subject
Turkey and some Of our little
countries, ARE left guessing.
Japan and China are CANDLES.
The so-called civilized part Of
the world is what We are betting
on.
Everything else is in a state OF
chaos.
China. Japan and the host OF lit
tie countries are too mixed to as
sort themselves. The big western
Allied countries are too mixed,
similarly.
There are only two OF them-the
United States and Britain.
Plus Russia-maybe.
And | have my doubts about
Russia.
II is a more skeptical realm than
Germany.
Comrade Stain may have more
nerve than Hitler has.
That is the democratic worry
That Russian situation is not to
b. disregarded.

even prolonged ana SlTdlnlng cX-
ercise permanently damaged a
heart. And also that many ath-
letes went through their most
gruelling contests with hearts
damaged and abnormal from dis
ease and received no harm from it.
To support this one can quote
from so eminent an authority as
the late Sir Thomas Lewis, gen.
orally acknowledged to be the su-
preme authority in England on
the heart. Burdens imposed by
physiological acts upon the nor
NAL heart, however heavy these
burdens (italics mine. L. c. never
injure heart fibers, never produce
injurious dilatation, never exhaust
the hearts reserve"
DR.. Dublin's Opinion
personally entirely agree with
this, but everyone doesn't. Louis
!. Dublin, who manages the Stats
teal department of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company,
writes: Indulgence in athletics
may in a good many instances
have deleterious effects on the
heart"
Life insurance companies and
various heart associations are for
ever deluging me with appeals to
say something about the preven-
ton of heart disease. Well, now
the causes of heart disease are in
80 per cent of cases rheumatic
fever and hardening of the arter-
les. And how in the name of heav-
en- you are going to advise people
how to prevent disease the cause
OF which you don't know, the
method of spread of which we .
don't know, nor have the faintest
idea about, and even which we
cannot always with certainty rec
ognize in all cases in the early
stages, l simply am at a loss to
answer.
Nor on the basis of what is said
about athletes heart is it fair to
say, "You who have a small alb
normality of your heart should not
walk, golf, ride, swim, play games,
bowl, or do anything but sit in a
chair" AS a matter of fact, ath-
letics may improve his heart. A
case in instance is taken as fol-
lows from a medical magazine:
Athletes Case History
"Yale athlete. One of the earli-
est crew and football men, aged
so years. Cardiac area 49.6 per
cent plus deviation. This means
somewhat enlarged.l Increased
heart size is explainable as a re-
suit of disease plus sport factors.
Although his heart was organi-
cally enlarged, his general consti-
tutional strength made possible a
long and useful life. Pneumonia
was the cause of death"
The only thing | know of to do
in the prevention Of heart disease
is to give child Tor anyone else)
the benefit of a prolonged con-
valescence from acute rheumatic
fever, or as it is sometimes called,
infammatory rheumatism. 1t is
the greatest heart damager lex
cept old age) there is.
After a child has had the fever
and it has subsidized and all the
swollen joints have Gained down,
think the child should have at
least three months in bed, and
three to six months of limited &C.
tivity. After that do not try to
limit activity. If activity is really
hurting a persons heart he will
know by two symptoms-pain and
shortness Of breath.
