Tomorrow is a Lovely Word

little tale about how she and Jim
had got engaged. We've been in
love for three years." she said, ex-
banding pleasantly under the ro-
mantle interest of her hostess. And
so, self-convinced, when Jim came
for her that afternoon, she had be-
come a different person, rather
dewy-eyed and completely at ease
with Jim.
The effect lasted, and when they
left the dance at the Officers club
on Saturday and went to walk
along the wall Of the bay, she felt
that they had much to say to each
other

plans for that. Have you thought
what you'd do? Where we'd live ?"
Jim said he thought there'd be
plenty Of time to think about that
later. Meanwhile they could be
married at once.
And live here?" Andrea asked.
In one of these wretched places
they call houses? No, darling, we'll
have better than this. Maybe you'll
be transferred to some camp near
a larger city, where we could take
an apartment"
Jim ruffled her hair with his big
hand and said he'd live in a pup
tent with her and be happy.
Andrea kissed him lingerly, for

Babe Back Oh
Amateur List

New York. Jan. fins The
news that the great female athlete,
Babe Didrikson. was reinstated as
an amateur golfer by the United
States Golf Association, is proof
OF tendency In amateur sports TO
soften with the years. II was Just
about 80 years ago that Jim
Thorpe. the greatest athlete who
ever lived. was stripped OF his
medals and trophies won in the
1912 Stockholm Olympics because
of professionalism In a sport not
related TO those which won him
honors In Sweden.
or course, Babe had to wait al
most nine years for reinstatement.
since she was declared ineligible
in May of 1885. That's enough
time for style on the links to dis.
intergrate or for enthusiasm to
wane, as It no doubt has for the
girl who created a legend in the
1882 Olympics at Pasadena. Thorpe
himself is still trophy-less. although
two members OF the Oklahoma
State Legislative body asked that
the baubles be restored. along with
Jim's reputation as an amateur.
The fact OF the matter is that Jim
wouldn't be helped now II all the
cups, medals, plaques and trophies
manufactured in the name OF
| sports were heaped around him.
He needed help SO years ago and
didn't get 1t q. that is what
he remembers.
However, 1t is a sign OF increas-
ing wholesomeness in athletics to
see any amateur body mellowing
to the extent of admitting to its
list of eligibles a former profes.
sional. What harm there Is n.tak.
ing money for endorsing cigarettes

them uncomfortable, is beyond. all
comprehension. For that ematter
'there is no use in condemning an
amateur football player for en-
gaging in professional baseball
contests. That sort OF stun tends
to make the amateur officials
stretch in their haste TO enforce
the rules.
All we need to see now Is TO
have Dick Todd, Steve Lacn and
! Len Eshmont return to play for the
colleges Of their former glories.
| Then we'll know the millennium in
amateur sports has arrived.

The ticket seller gave her a
quick appraising look a. he said,

Andrea could feel his eyes fol-

In the same seemingly unconscious
way that she was aware Of other
eyes upon her In the railroad sta
ton, and she thought, with no
small satisfaction, mo one would
know this is the very first trip I've
ever taken away from Pennington.
Limited as her experience was,
she was prepared to give the ap-
pearance OF girl to whom luxury
liners, trans-continental trains and
expensive hotels were OF lifelong
familiarity, for she had lived these
experiences in dreams-with one
great difference: She would not
have been alone; Dennis would
have been with her.
Some OF the calm OF her smooth
brow under her new -brimmed
green hat was momentarily ruffled
as she thought Of Dennis, and she
caught her lip between her teeth
as her eyes fell on the row Of tele-
phone booths directly to her left.
Resolutely she turned her back
70 them and marched across the
station waiting room. Her heels
made sharp little taps on the stone,
reflections of the stacatto trend of

Gas Station Receives
30-Day Suspension
In Bogus Coupon Case
Block Market Must
Be Stamped Out
OPA Commissioner Says

Philip A. Tolson, operator of a
gasoline station at Fifth and r
streets NV, today was suspended
from buying or selling gasoline for
a period of 80 days. beginning April
"a, after being convicted on charges
of dealing illegally in counterfeit
TT ration coupons.
Clifford Snyder, Office of Price
Administration commissioner, who
heard testimony in the case in Mu-
nicipal Court today, said in order
ing the suspension that I'VE have a
black market in gasoline coupons
which must be stamped out"
Carl W. Berueffy, OPA enforce
ment attorney, charged that of a
group of $50 TT coupons with which
Tolson acquired gasoline from the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, 191
were counterfeit. IN return for the
bogus coupons, Tolson received 955
gallons of gasoline for resale, Mr.
,Berueffy said. :.
An investigator for the. District
OPA testified the counterfeit cou-
pons could be identified by their
lighter color and a slight difference
in design
Mr.. Tolson's attorney commended
that the difference between genuine
and counterfeit coupons is not evil
dent to the layman. He asked dis
missal Of the case on grounds that
the service station had accepted
them in the normal course of bust
ness without knowing them to be
counterfeit.
Commissioner Snyder overruled
the motion for dismissal declaring
he was convinced from the testimony
that the coupons were not lawfully
acquired"
Mr.. Snyder said that if he were
firmly convinced that the defend
ant had bought the coupons and was
continuing to do so he would sus-
pend his right to sell gasoline for
the duration" He said, however, he
would conf1ne the suspension to 80
days, as recommended by the OPA,
because evidence tends to show that
Tolson has not dealt in counterfeit
coupons since last December 81.
Seven other filling station opera
tors were to be called for hearings
in Municipal Court today on
charges connected with the circula-
ton of counterfeit B, C and TT
gasoline coupons.
