 Baruch was discussing his favor ite theme, more munitions, speedief munitions, and better munitions. Among other things he pointed out. what now has Just been off, cially announced, that American airplane production would reach more than 1000 planes in July, but that if certain short cuts had been made, this total would have been more than 5000.

corporations; insurance companies and other non banking sources
 War bonds are being sold primarily for two reasons First to secure money to finance war, secondly to drain off surplus purchasing power and lessen inflatonary tendencies
 If banks were able to buy all bond issues the first purpose would be accomplished. But the small investor must buy bonds and more bonds if the sec ond purpose is to be carried out
 At the same time it should be stressed that while such campaigns as the Third War Loan Drive are important probably more important is the con- tinuous buying of bonds through the payroll savings plan It is the steady sale thus gained that counts

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not cOmpeP'
SUNDAY, AUGUST i5

Until afternoon adverse planetary aspects are active. The Sun and Saturn are in promising aspect through later hours today. ...
 HEART AND HOME: Depress- ion may affect members of the fam fly this morning when there will be an inclination to stay away from church and to bemoan the ban on pleasure driving. This may be disappointing date for girls who may discover that romance in letter writing is inclined to fade How ever, this is not an suspicious day for flirtations with civilians who may be inclined to dwell upon in- ability to qualify for the armed forces. Emphass on the value of church alliances is made by the seers who explain that Aquarian influences are scientific, idealistic and philanthropic and that they promote the universal brotherhood. Unselfish service that prepares for the new order is urged upon all who lcok forward to victory.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Accord ing to readings of the stars the coming week may be rather quiet in trade circles. There may be adverse or retarding influences to which Government restrictions contribute. Dissatisfaction with food distribu= ton will be prevalent, although the success of victory gardens provides fruit and vegetables for patriotic families who have been willing to labor consistently while many early become weary in well-doing. h1
 NATIONAL I s s SUES: Political aims that seem to interfere with ef- ficient public service will be severe 1 ly criticized as legislators employ brief vacations in preparation for next years elections. The need of statesmen who are not dependent upon public popularity or at least are willing to defy those who de- tmand favors will be stressed in post war days. astrologers prophecy. Un- selfish public service will be required 1 by the people who have made tre- 1 mendous sacrifices to perpetuate democracy.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Ability to produce such vast quan- titles of ships. airplanes and war materials as the United States has supplied will be one of the factors in discouraging Axis powers at, this time. The fact that the nation is !, spending more than a billion dollars week and is able to continue pour ing out this river of money for wal needs will prove potent in under mining the morale of our enemies who are clever enough long to have read the handwriting on the wall.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair finan- cial gains. Losses may be sustained unless caution is exercised.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be intelligent and ener- getic. They may be too artistic tc be keen in business affairs and should be taught practical points of view.

MONDAY, AUGUST l6

This is not an important day in planetary direction but it is a time to exercise caution because threat ening aspects are active. War news may be disturbing where United Nations land forces are engaged. :. HEART AND HOME: In every household food preservation should be of first concern through this month. Fruits and vegetables mus be carefully prepared for coming months when shortages long fore seen will become of serious and threatening variety in this country of richest agricultural resources. As rationing extends to many staples housewives will meet grave prob lems. Hotels and restaurants will be patronized to an extent which invites government efforts to cope with trying problem. t-
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo- gers read in the stars signs that en- courage greed which is due to suh-
 
 conscious fears of many sorts. AS the naton's mountain of debts rises to unprecedented heights many faint-hearted persons win attempt to prevent future individual ffnan- cial difficulties. This means a de- sire to speculate and get-rich-quick schemes will gain investors. Plane tary aspects that encourage money anxieties will inspire among offic- ials of Axis powers many deeds of dishonesty. In the face of defeat funds will be diverted and depleted sreasnries drained by men who plar, escape from inevitable punishment for misdeeds.

CHAPTER THIRTY-sN

key wrench into the works. Didn't
she, Dad?" Pam was gayly per.
sistant.
"Not at all. he said briefly.
Claire had indeed thrown the
monkey wrench" into his plans, but
il had been his fault. He'd thought
she'd taken it for granted that he
was coming and hadn't said any
thing more about it in his brief
notes since that telephone CONVEX
sation weeks before.
Apparently she hadn't taken any
thing for granted. because when he
called her this afternoon, her voice
had been hesitant and he gathered
that he had upset her plans.
She said, when I didn't hear
anything further from you, l
thought you didn't want to come.

said she couldn't bear TO miss the
rising curtain at the revue for
which Tom had bought tickets.
Tom said he selected tickets for
that particular revue because II
was the gayest in town. It was.
The music was the music Of the
moment, both sweet and saucy.
The comedians made them laugh
until tears rolled down the girls
cheeks, and the costumes and sets
were so beautiful Barbara said she
wanted to photograph them on her
memory.
When the .irst act was over, they
went out into the lobby to smoke
and because Barbara wanted TO see
celebrities.
The lobby was damned with men
in tail coats and with women wear
ing diamonds and sables and err
mine.
Barbara said to Pam, I'D like to
have a little jacket like the one on
the girl over there by the box-office.
The red-haired girl"
Pam let out shrek: But that's
Mimsey?
Who's Mimsey?" her father
asked. But Pam had already left
his side and was wriggling her way
through the crowd to the red
haired girl.
She brought her back.
Barbara WiSter and my
dad. want you to meet MINI
sey Scoville. We were roommates
together at Miss Maidstone's ages
ago"
Mimsey bowed respectfully to
Tom and smiled at Barbara, then
came alive and said. please don't
be a stern parent, Mr.. Kilcran. I'll
simply die il you take Pam off"
Pam supplied the possible rea-
son for Mimsey's threatened de-
mise:
shes having a snazzey party
tomorrow night, Dad. Didn't know
l was here or she would have sent
me an invitation and I could have
told you about it before"
What is a snazzey party?" Tom
asked gravely.
Mimsey said, "Oh, you know,
smooth men! A Harvard crowd! A
rumba band and all that. II Pam
doesn't stay, it will simply be fat"
well" Tom said, I'D hate to be
responsible for that. But I don't
like to leave"
"Oh, Dad, please! I can stay with
MIN tonight and tomorrow night
and come home the next day. I am

Pam permitted herself a rare
girlish giggle.
When Mimsey departed with,
Meet you right here after the
show" Pam said. You certainly
are funny, Dad. Hadn't you better
be thinking about who's going to
chaperone Barbara ?"
Barbara" he said.
Certainly. If you're going to go
old world on me, you've got to do
the same for her"
And what danger u Barbara
in?" that lady asked.
Figure it out for yourselves.
You two turn up together on the
last train in South Wintridge, with
Barbara decorated with corsage
and all, and what will the town
think? You'd better wear false
boards when you get OF the train
at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Tom said sternly, "a little more
respect for your elders, please,
miss. Besides, there's never any,
one awake in South Wintridge at
8 o'clock in the morning"
He was quite right. He would not
have been right, however, if he had
added that South Wintridge people
did not return on that train.
Miss Minnie Trowbridge was an
expert seamstress. No one in South
Wintridge - and everyone knew
her, since she had been sewing for
its families for nearly 40 years
would deny that. Nor could they
deny her boasting. Folks say I'm
a one-woman newspaper" she was
fond Of repeating, and, "Manys the
lady in South Wintridge who
wouldn't have anybody else sew for
her. They even send for me when
they move away somewheres else"
1t wasn't very often that she was
sent for, and Mary Humboldt, who
had been Mary Linke, wouldn't
have sent for her that fateful Sep
TENDER when she moved to New
York il she'd known where to find
anyone else who could do what She
wanted done. Minnie was a talker,
but she was a fast and competent
worker and it was worth the added
cost Of paying her railroad fare to
New York to get the childrens
clothes ready and right for school.
1t would have been worth q
kings ransom to Barbara Wister
to have prevented Minnies trip to
New York.
