at the end of the road, stood the
Wentworth home. 1t was like some

Philip. IAN that's lovely, unsc!tlsh,
and forever desirable"
THANK you, Philip" Helen said
simply. And as they drew nearer
and nearer, she said: only people

said Philip.
And then Zoe Wentworth ap-
peared upon the veranda. She saw
them and waved, a doll-llke crca-
ture standing beside a towering
pillar.
Our hostess" said Philip with
out enthusiasm. And a bit too cute
for such a setting"
Helen did not reply. But all of a
sudden she realized that Zoe was
the only Earring nOte-that she
didn't belong. Helen despiscd her
self for thinking such a thing, ana
yet she could not help thinking it.
Zoe was an outsider, someone who
did not and who never could under
stand what all the beauty around
her meant.

men are terribly scarce nowadays
THAT" laughed Philip, may be
n dubious sort of compliment. but
it's too beautiful a day to argue the
point"
Helen said: 1--WE ALWAYS loved
this place, I used to sit out on this
porch and listen to Mr.. Went
worth's marvellous stories. He never
seemed to run out of them"
Zoe gave her a quick look. Come
out on the side porch she said.

came to the fore. 1t wa late after

CHECK YOUR BRAKES

For the past several months there
has been real concern on the part
of all those familiar with the situa-
ton regarding the nations trans
portation. There have been no new
cars or trucks produced for civilian
use since Pearl Harbor, and even
the best of the nations motor trans
portation is becoming aged.
We are down very near to the
danger point now, yet, despite this
fact, our cars and trucks are still
going into the junk heap at the rate
Of 175,000 a month.
! In compliance with the request OF
the President, the international As
ISOLATION of Chiefs of Police have
decided upon a nationwide Brake
Emphasis Campaign between the
18th of April and the LIST of June
The sheriffs, police and other peace
officers of the whole country have
been requested to participate in
this campaign of public education
in which the main emphasis will
be placed upon a check Of the
brakes Of all cars that are stopped
for any purpose. The emphasis is
being placed upon brakes because
they are the greatest factor on any
car. A simple check that only takes
a few seconds has been devised
and, with each check the driver oil
the car will be given pamphlet
describing the test and explaining
other methods of preserving the
usefulness of the car.
