little sharply, as if trying to hide
her emotions or expressing a desire
to bring him down a peg in case his
popularity might have gone to his
head.
In trying to determine which II

his speculation on whether or not
Amy would continue in her new re.
gard for him, or revert to the old.
He found a number of things to
support his belief that war had
changed her as permanently as 1t
had him.
She would not find it comfortable
to henpeck a national hero.

points of the scallops make it pos
sible to slide the curtains back

The trick in making the seal

the curved edges follow a sharp,
clean-cut line. All the steps are
shown here in the diagrams. Use
a small saucer or a large cup
for marking the scallops, and
when you turn them right side out,
pull the material out smoothly at
the points with a pin.

Buy Sheets to Fit Mattress

To protect the bed and to give
maximum sleeping comfort, sheets
should be long enough and wide
enough to tuck underneath the mat
tress at least five or six inches on
all sides. The average mattress is
approximately IA or rs inches long.
Since the size marked on the fin
ished sheet-muslin as well as per-
cale-indicates the torn or un-
hemmed size, it is a good plan to
allow five inches for shrinkage and
another five inches for hemming.

were in the fox hole with him and
that still more were firing from the
sand for some distance on either
side.
He didn't know when he left the
fox hole and with the others ran
upon the beach with a rifle in his
hands. He was astounded, once, to
note the bayonet on the end of the
rifle, and that he had plunged it
into a Jap soldier and was having
difficulty in getting it out. Twist, he
thought, that was it. He twisted,
and the blade came free. 1t was
true what they said.
He felt sharp sting in his left
shoulder.
On top of his head there was a
binding clang.
His helmet was knocked off.
Something crashed on his bare
head and after that he was aware of
nothing.
Mr.. Wrinkle opened his eyes eau
tiously. He had been conscious for
a few minutes, but he couldn't place
where he was.
The first thing he saw was the
face of Jack Pettigrew. Jack had
only a head, which foated in the
air all by itself The mouth in the
head said, Hello, Pop"

quired.

Mr.. Wrinkle. "You we're dead the
last time I saw you. This is Heav-
en-, suppose. Or is it," In some
panic he demanded, (Which one?"
The head laughed. "We're in an
Army hospital just outside of Los
Angeles"
The rest of Jack came into focus.
Clad in pajamas and bathrobe, he
was sitting on the edge of a white
bed. There were lines of white
beds.
II don't understand" Mr.. Wrinkle
said. We're supposed to be on
'Talizo. You-and the Japs :. :"

it. You're hero. You're going to

"And look at these papers," Jack

it and saw big black letters which

HERE is a new idea for your
kitchen curtains-or for sash
curtains for any room. Crisp,
sheer material such as lawn or or
candle may be used and white or
a plain light color will be most eff
fective. The curtains are hung
above eye level on a single rod
fastened to the window sash. The

may be old in body, but can never

A POSTSCRIPT TO AN EPILOGUE

I claim a woman's privilege of making the postscript the most inn portant part of letter As dis ciple of Wilson's ideal, Franklin Roosevelt urged a solemn referen- dunn on the League of Nations when he was candidate for Vice. president in 1920. That was the year when the people voted for Harding and normalcy. This year Roosevelt incarnates the Wilson spirit and his election is the only guarantee of an organization that will insure the permanent outlawry of war If we fail to secure an eff fective world organization to end war this time, the robot will look like a chiIds toy compared with the destructive weapons which will be used if another war curses the world.

tions in 1924. he went to the Chi cago Democratic Convention in 1852 to work for the nomination of Newton. D. Baker But at Chicago, he found that Garner, McAdoo and Jim Farley had got together and no subject interested them less than the cause of world coopera- ton.
 So Willkie concluded with this Postscript to an Epilogue":
 After these experiences and after the Democratic Party in the middle thirties began to violate the very essence of Wilson's philo- sophy of Government should serve society, by no means rule or dominate it. Government should not be made an end in it. self; it is a means only The state exists for the sake of society not society for the state'I left the Democratic Party-or, perhaps, the Democratic Party left me"
 A few days later, Josephus Dan- iels, also wrote a guest column for John Temple Graves, which carried this reply to Willkie:

TAXES AFTER THE WAR

Beardsley Ruml and H. C. Stone, noted economists. asked to write a report on a national fiscal and monetary policy for after the war by the National Planning Association, suggested among other recom- mendations the following:
 Abolish the Federal income tax corporations but adopt measures preventing the use of the cor porate form of doing business a device to avoid payment of individual income taxes. Substitute a , percent franchise tax on corporation income which represents the value of doing business in this cor porate form.
 Two-rely upon the graduated progressive indi- vidual income tax for the chief of revenue but with substantial reduction from present rates
 Third-have no form of general sales tax.
 Four-have excise taxes on tobacco, alcoholic bev- erages and gasoline at the levels of 1943-but no excise taxes of any other nature
 Why abolish the corporate income tax? Rum says there are three reasons First, the Federal in- come on corporations reduces business activity in that it tends to raise the costs of goods and services it tends to keep wages lower and limits the yield on risk bearing investment Second, business judgment as to what is economically sound in terms of expenditure, pricing capital transactions etc, is distorted by tax considerations higher the Fed eral tax the greater the distortion Third taxation of corporate profits prior to distribution imposes double taxation dividend income withotu regard to
