Erank : Finney, heafl of the Automobile: License Department at the State- j house, has announced that there!• will be no extension of time. A i glance at the lines of cars on the 1 streets and highways indicates that many owners are procrastinat- ] lug as usual. Some will join the last-minute rush for the beautiful ’ robin's-egg blue creations. Others may hope that a perfod of grace i ’ will be granted. Enforcement of the rule requir- < ing tho new plates ou the first day of the year will depend on locall police officials. That co-operation ; should lie extended as a means of | creating respect for what should be accepted as a matter of routine. No one ever questions enforcement of the penalties against delinquent 1 taxes. The deadline is fixed and most folk make their arrangements t to pay. That system prevails in other ( states, where the motorists expect no additional time in which to se- 1 cure their plates. Part of the delay in Indiana is duo to the mistaken policy pursued for several , years in moving th" detwHin'’ back one, two and even three months. The motive which prompted that lenity may have been admirable,' j hut in too many iimtances it mere- 1 ly encouraged delay and added to ' la the enforcement problems of the t

police. It the state and local authorities insist on strict observance of the edict, the public will expect nothing else and the deadline will be accepted as a matter of course, j — Indianapolis Star. STREET LIGHTING: Municipal "economy” in street | lighting, which has plunged the | thoroughfares of many American ; cities into utter darkness at night, ;is beginning to yield a macabre fruit. Small savings in power bills have resulted in a sharp rise in economic losses and in the number i of automobile fatalities after dark. I This is the conclusion of Richard E. Simpson, illuminating engineer , for the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, who has made a three-year study of nighttime traffic conditions In 60 American cities. One trouble, Mr. Simpson says, is that darkness ami speed have , combined to lure the average moj torlst into outdriving the distance I he Can see ahead. In an emergency ■ . he cannot stop within the distance illuminated by his headlights. With street and highway lights turned off. he is a whole century out of step, and is attempting to use 20th century speeds under 19th century visibility conditions. The result is that 59 per cent of all automobile deaths occur because of accidents at night, in spite of the fact that traffic is lighter than during the day. As usual the pedestrian gets the worst of it. and 66 per cent of all deaths in his class occur as a result of night accidents. A striking argument for adequate street lighting is given in an analysis of two groups of the cities studied. One group increased its budget for street lights by 11 per cent or 9 cents per capita. It eu- | joyed a 25 per cent reduction in | night fatalities and an economic i saving oi $2.07 per capita. The I other reduced its expeditures by 14 per cent or 19 cents per capita and suffered a 7.6 per cent increase in night fatalities and an economic loss of 69 cents per capita. Obviously, communities pay for good street lighting whether they get it or not. o * _ STAR SIGNALS By OCTAVINE ♦ —— ♦ For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

".BEACH BEAUTY I SHUMWAY:

CHAPTER XXXVII It was three hours later, back in Kay’s house in Daytona Beach, that the conference began. Pete, Kay 1 and Spike sat sipping hot coffee while Harrow did most of the talking. “I thoroughly appreciate your point of view, Ryan,” he said to Pete. “And I’m naturally more grateful than I can tell you that you had the sense to follow us this morning. I’d no idea things would turn out as they have.” He made a little gesture with his head toward the nearby window which was washed with a blinding rain driven by a wind that threatened to smash the glass. “And, of course, I’d no way of knowing we'd have any trouble with Kay’s boat. Captain Johnson did and he said plenty, but neither Spike nor I would listen to him. Well . . . we’ve learned a lesson in seamanship. And maybe in something else. I wouldn’t be surprised. “You know, of course, why all this was done. Well, fortunately no one was injured and the plan carried through despite our rashness. The papers have their stories and the news is on the wire. No one is any the wiser about Kay. She rescued us and lost her boat doing so. Her picture will be plastered everywhere. Spike will see to that.” Spike sat without speaking. He was chewing on one of his eternal little cigars, nodding now and then at Harrow and glaring from time to time at Pete. It was easy to see that he had only suspicion and dislike for him. “Yeah, I’m handling that,” Spike admitted sourly.* “Now, we’ve had * great many misunderstandings, Ryan,” Harrow continued, “but for my part, I’m convinced that you’re all right —more than all right. Anything I’ve said about you in the past I take back. And I assure you, whether you believe me or not, that I had nodiing to do with your being put on the spot. All I can believe is that you walked into some hairtriggered mugg who thought you were a policeman or one of us. Kay’s told you all about the situation here. It’s been tense. Our nerves have been on edge. I hope you see that.” Pete nodded. “You’re tremendously fond of Kay,” Harrow said. “I don't blame you. So am I. Another thing I want you to believe is that I have her best interests at heart. Especially from now on, because now she’s a business investment to me. Iler chance is my gamble and can be my gain. You can understand that. “Now, I’m going to make a proposition. Kay is supposed to leave here to go to North Carolina to visit her family. We—my party—are supposed to leave on the boat, to go north. The Havana cruise is off. We don’t need to give any explanation to the Campbells. “Very well, what really happens is this: Spike and I get aboard the boat. But we go only as far as Jacksonville. Then we meet you and Kay and the four of us fly to New York.” Kav looked with surprise from Harrow to Pete. Obviously, Pete was too puzzled to think clearly. And, obviously, Spike was much displeased. “I want you to come along,” Harrow said. “That is if you want to give up your fruit company job. I'm sure I ran use you in New York, anybody who can flatten Spike here and who’s so obviously got Kay’s interests uppermost in his mind.” Spike growled something. "Beg pardon?” Harrow said pleasantly. “Nothing.” “You said something.” “How do you expect a guy to handle himself like a flyweight when he’s fished out of the drink soaking wet and all fagged out?” Spike complained. Harrow smiled. "Perfectly true. But you were pretty good at that. No disgrace, you know. Spike.” Spike returned to his silence and his frayed cigar stub. “What do you think. Ryan?" Harrow asked. Pete considered a moment before speaking. “It’s all up to Kay,” he parried. “She's her own boss and she know-3 what she wants.” “I think you should come, Pete.” Kay said quicMy. "I’m sure Mr. Harrow m acting lor the best.”

“Then I’ll come,” Pete declared. Spike sighed faintly. Harrow rose and offered his hand to Pete. * “Then, bygones are bygones, and from now on wc’rc al! on the level with each other and business is business?” Pete found himself liking this man he had hated. There was at once a calmness, a jauntiness, and an air of rigid sincerity in that lean, tanned face with its boulevardicr’s mustache, it’s shrewd, tired eyes. He put his hand forward. “Absolutely,” he said. * * • • That night the Daytona Beach paper had a headlined story telling of the explosion and the rescue. Pete’s part being left out. Harrow was quoted as saying that racketeers who had followed him from New York evidently had put a time bomb aboard his boat and that, if Miss Owen hadn’t, been cruising about “at the inlet,” the lives of all the party might have been lost. The Harrow party had abandoned its plan for a tropical cruise and was reluming at once to New York, the repairs on the yacht to be made in Jacksonville. Kay was bewildered, anxious and happy, but not at all frightened, Whatever was happening was unavoidable and decidedly interesting. It was the sort of thing she" had yearned for—adventure, change, excitement, a touch of the bizarre. And now that there seemed to be an understanding between Harrow and Pete, and she was no longer obliged to choose between them and to let her emotions enter into their relationship. She was no longer in a false position; whatever happened would happen and that would be that. So the next day the Commander 111, with due ceremony, left Daytona Beach and headed north in the river channel. Kay watched from her dock and saw the boat’s white beauty silhouetted against the green shore of the mainland. How much had happened since first she saw that lovely white boat lying alongside the city dock. She laughed softly to herself when she remembered that her first feeling had been one of anger toward the skipper who had tied up in the place usually reserved for the Kayo. And the Kayo—on the bottom of the ocean. But Harrow had drawn a check to cover the loss. She was keeping the. check for a few days, before cashing it. as a memento of the pleasure she had known for years in the little boat. She and Pete spent a quiet evening together, dropped into a movie and rode up and down the beach in a borrowed car. The beach was smooth and hard from the storm and the night was soft and clear. It was only then that Kay began to feel a regret for having to leave Daytona Beach. She pressed Pete’s hand on the wheel. “What, baby?” he asked softly. “Some day,” she said, “when I really am settled down and I know what I want or I’ve had it, this is the place for me. I love it. It must have been born in me.” “Here, too,” Pete said solemnly. There was a pause and he said, “And maybe some day—” He hesitated until she nudged him. “Some day what?” “Nothing. I was dreaming.” “It’s your privilege,” Kay said softly. “And it’s about the most fun in life, isn’t it?” “About,” he agreed. He leaned over and kissed her ear which the wind, streaming through her hair, had uncovered. Kay sighed and moved closer to him. She didn’t know what was ahead, but she did know that she was very happy, especially at this moment. Next day Kay rose before dawn to take the early morning train to Jacksonville. Pete had left already by bus. Breakfasting alone in the kitchen, she felt strange in the quiet dark house for the last time in heaven knew when. She knew that when she crossed the threshold, her bag in hand, a completely new life would begin. Airplanes . . New York . . the theater . . publicity . . . maybe happiness, certainly adventure of the sort that seemed to her most thrilling Finally she heard the ’'taxi," which was driven by one of Har-

row's men, Kelly, who had been lef behind to keep watch over her. Shi I rose, made a last hurried check-u| to see that she was forgetting noth ing, and, taking her suitcase switched off the kitchen light ant went through the dark house to thi door. As she shut the door behinc her she felt a brief sadness ant wondered when she would tee thu house, this Florida world of heri her mother and her brother, again. But there was no time for regrets; Kelly was waiting; the train would be in soon. On the train she watched the last lights of Daytona Beach drop behind her and looking eastward saw the lightening grayness of the ocean sky that meant dawn was soon to come. Many a morning she had seen dawn break over the ocean; soon she would be seeing a different dawn lighten the eastern sky of the city and spread a soft sheen of pale gold over the skyscrapers of Manhattan. It seemed incredible. Yet the wheels of the train were clicking rhythmically over the rails, northward, always farther northward.... When she came out of the gate at the onion station in Jacksonville, Pete was waiting for her, grinning. What a different Pete this was! He wore a blue suit and a gray hat and looked older and smoother, more sophisticated. She knew this was, because she had been used to him so long in the casual sport or beach garb of Florida, hatless, tieless and usually coatless. Somehow the sight of him made the whole adventure seem more real. They rode uptown in a taxi and had another bite in the Carhng Hotel. It was a pleasant feeling, bein a big town again, among fairly tall buildings, street cars and lots of motor traffic. All this was another phase of readjustment, Kay realized, to her new life that was to come. “How do you feel, Kay?” Pete asked her over their coffee. He was grinning boyishly. • “Sort of—l don’t know—but I'm happy. Aren’t you?” “With you I am, of course.” She gave him an intimate little smile. They left the coffee shop and sat in the mezzanine lounge waiting for Harrow and Spike. They hadn't long to wait. Harrow came up the stairs smiling, dressed in a soft gray flannel suit. Spike came behind him and smiled at Kay, nodding briefly at Pete. “All ready?” Harrow asked. "I should say so,” Kay said. “Good. Then we’ll run out to the airport and be off.” They rode to the airport in a cab, arriving just before plane-time. Kay was a little nervous as she stepped into the cabin of the big passenger ship. It was her first ride in a cabin ship and her firs hop of more than fifteen or twentj minutes. In a moment Jacksonville was spread out behind them, rapidly dropping into distance, a mere pattern city. The plane droned on, steadily northward toward Atlanta. “I haven’t even asked you,' K*v said, “but what’s to be the name »f the play you’re getting?” “A fair question,” Harrow replied, laughing. “But I’m not sure. Warren’s original title was to have been ‘Storm in the North.’ You can see easily enough why that wouldn t do now. I never liked it anyway. “Warren? Is he the playwright?” Harrow nodded. “Boris Warren,” ha said. Somehow, the name was familiar to Kay. Warren? Boris WarrenHarrow saw that she was trying to recall it “He wrote ‘Sad Exile,'” he offered. That was it! "I read it," Kay said. “It produced three years ago by the Theatre Guild.” Harrow seemed pleased. “Right, he said. “And did you like it? “Why—as I remember, it was * haunting sort of thing. It stayed with you. It wasn’t especially dramatic—that is, exciting, as I rfmember, but strong juot the saffl’i and beautiful.” He nodded. “Exactly. And that s Warren’s style. He’s a strange chap himself. He stays with you, too. Not the kind you'd forget(To Be Continued) CaprrUhu 1134. guz ruuuu "
