Have you ever stopped to think
of what Love really is?
Oh, sure all of us can name
the qualities which so to make it

But what is Love itself?

Chapter IS

Cnapter Is
THE breeze on July the Fourth,
however, was surprisingly
harsh. nipping the skin of every
one who ventured onto the beach
in a bathing suit There were
groans galore when it was ru-
mored that Jane Bancroft had de-
cided to cancel the swimming
meet which had been scheduled
for the holiday, and during the
morning a stream of callers came
to her tent in Officers Row to
lodge protests. It was all quite
amusing. She had the sensation
that she was dealing not with
adults but with children, and
made several rather caustic COM
ments until Mr.. Forsythe hap
pened to overhear one of them. He
descended upon her like an angry
mother hen protecting her brood.
''It is part of the fun" he told her
angrily. This is what they re-
quire. ] don't expect to hear you
making sport of them again, Miss
Bancroft" Thoroughly chastened,
she made poor companion as she
went off into the woods with the
promoted and very happy Mike
OReilly to examine a new hlk-
ing trail he had more or less cut
from the forest. "Sure an it's a
ghost Dim walkin' with, Ohm
thinkin'," he said Sorrowfully.
She had TO laugh. 'It's just that
every time ! open my mouth
seem to put my foot into it. Mike,
do we dare risk holding that fool

He waited until they had
reached a clearing and then
locked up at the sky. "Sure an
it'n be a grand day, I'm thinkin'
Hold the blasted swimming meet,
an bad cess to the division as
loses"
She decided to take his advice.
A good swimming meet would
contribute a great deal toward
relieving her of the sense of bore
dom which had been troubling
her ever since the night Evelyn
Moore had sat up on her cot and
told her she was going to be
helped despite herself. There had
been no further word from
George. That hurt. She had hoped
that the sight of her would
quicken within him the desire he
had once had to marry her. She
had stuck pretty close to camp.
with the result that even the love-
ly surroundings had begun TO
pail She turned and headed back
to camp briskly.

'Layoffs Rise, Hirings Drop
To Sci 10-Year Record

Factory workers are being laid
of at the highest rate in the past
10 years. but those who quit still
'outnumber those laid off, a
Bureau of Labor Statistics report
indicates.
Through 1851. the report
showed, the layof rate was up by
almost so per cent. Between Octo-
Der and November, it increased
from IA to 16 per 1000 workers.
At the same time. hiring OF fac
tory workers remained at a low
|rate-the lowest in more than a
decade. The continued low level
|of hiring, the bureau reported,
was the result Of both cutbacks
in civilian goods manufacture and
Ia slackened rate Of employment
in defense-related industries.
Although those who quit out
numbered those laid of. there
were fewer quitting than at any
time in 10 years. It averaged 19
per 1000 workers In November.

were straight reporting OF what

"Of course, all of this must be
weighted in light of the fact that
it happened in 1914. when Rus
slams were fighting as our allies,

efforts at that time was to restore
diplomatic relations between Mos
