FOR SERVICES RENDERED

The term red opple is being widely used to de-
scribe the bill which would beroIize benefits and
allowances to men enstine in the peooetime Army
and Navy. It may be handy and well-intentioned
tag, but it isn't very fIotterne.
Red oppH" implies oojoIery or uneorned reward.
Actually it seems to us. the bills recommendations
provide minimum Of reasonable and decent COM
pensotion for services rendered.
It can scarcely be denied thot the Army and
Navy in the next few years will be doing the most
important peooetime Job thot forces have been
required to perform Enlisted we'll os officers
will have the responsibility Of supervising the behov-
ior Of former enemies Of seeing to thot surrender
terms corred out Of keeping oert watch against
secret preparations for future war.
Outside the occupied countries they must de-
veIop and nnontoin stronger defenses than we have
known before, and here again responsibility will not
be confined to the top. In whatever foreign land
they find themselves. these men Of the peocetne
service will represent their country, giving tangible
evidence Of our good will and good intentions.
For those men the Army or Navy will be their
lifes work for the next few years. They deserve and
should oct adequate pay for their job.

him only $500. AS Bob Hope

DEMAND BUILDS SLOWLY

"b.NhAND DSAADo OAO WIZ
BOYS and girls do not follow
their elders in demanding books
hot off the press. Few books
published after 1913 have yet
reached peaks of popularity, be-
cause demand for them has not
yet been built up. Once popular
lty is established, it lasts for a
long time, and some authors de-
velop such devoted followings
that any book of theirs immedi-
ately becomes a favorite, even
as in the case of adult books.
Some fortunate authors in this
class are John Tunis, Howard

evening Of Jan. 20, when she
reappeared out of the night bed
ragged and starving.
The story Of what transplred
in Elizabeth's life during those
intervening weeks and Of the
sensational trial that set all Lon
don by the ears has been re-
told-and solved-by Lillian de

The great Samuel Johnson, Hen
