The automobile industry will get going in full blast next week and will keep it up the next six or eight months, making an effort to catch up on lost time. This office is adding a new Blue Streak linotype, latest and best typesetting machine made, to its battery, that we may be the bet ; ter equipped to publish a newspaper that meets with your approv- j al. Paul Sullivan gives Governor Murphy first, second and third honors in the settlement of the automobile strike, which is a record that should satisfy most any one. The governor worked hard and did a great job. — You can tell your grandchildren of the marvelous open winter of 1936-37 which regardless of what the grandpappy of today may say of the old days—is officially declared to have been the warmest up to date ever recorded. The news is important these i days and there is much of it, from coast to coast and all over the world. The daily Democrat gives it to you along with the local happenings for less than a penny a day. Don't pass it up. Now is the time to renew. If Mr. Lincoln was president today he would no doubt find the problems almost as burdensome as they were in the days of the Civil War when he presided with great honor and credit. And of course be would be for th' people for he loved his fellow men. The discovery that no senator or representative can be appointed , to the supreme court in case it be-I comes necessary to do so under the president’s proposed change of the high tribunal, may be the deciding point by which some members of those bodies, make up their minds. We are all happy that the strike is over and most folks are not greatly concerned whether it was 1 a Lewis or a Knudson victory. They doubt if the gains made were worth forty million dollars which was the approximate loss in wag- i es to the men and perhaps more | tfran that to the corporation.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present addreaa and new address. ‘

Employment in the loading industries in Fort Wayne has increased about twenty-five per cent the past year, according to a census just announced by the Chainber of Commerce. Thut sounds t healthy and is the same kind of report that is being made all ovef 1 the country. We are coming back, t Indiana will get $750,000 of the j twenty million appropriated by the * federal government for relief in j the flood stricken sections. That > will help greatly but distributed a j long the length of the Ohio river > on the southern border of the state, ) it will not mean sufficient to any where near take care of those in distress. The colonists who went to Alaska two or three years ago to start i life anew have been notified that they "must work or go hungry” ’ and some politicians are making quite a fuss about the order. Well we don’t see where they have much complaint, it’s the same with most of us who have to "dig fer what we git.” A bill in the legislature would postpone city elections'to 1939 and each four years thereafter. Four years ago the date was advanced a year, placing the municipal elections in the same contest with the general elections but it has not been so satisfactory as it distracts from the other issues. Now efforts will be made to get the contest back to the off-year. Legislative bodies taking snap action in the way of resolutions for or against the president's proposal for changes in the supreme ' court, may find themselves on a limb. The people have not yet become excited enough to even intimate how they feel about it when Mr. Roosevelt explains his posi-. tion, it's a hundred to one they . will agree with him. Governor Murphy has a right to stick his chest out. He negotiated a settlement of the big strike in such a manner as to receive praise I from both the union and General motors and thanks on behalf of the nation, from President Roose-i velt. That’s a record that few have ever made and it took the red-: haired governor forty days to acI complish it, but he did it without bloodshed. The Indiana State board of' Health has made a name for itself in preventing spread of diseases in the flood and refugee area. From 1 the very first the health officials have used brawn and brain to combat pestilence and how well they have succeeded is revealed in daily bulletins issued by Dr. Thurman B. Rice, acting secretary of the state board. Disease in the flood area continues at an astonishing low level, less indeed than normal for this time of year. Brave men are they indeed who will seek the Presidency in 1940. For during the past century every President who's been elected in a year ending in zero has died in office —William Henry Harrison, 11840; Lincoln, 1860; Garfield, 1880; McKinley, 1900; Harding, 1920. And three of them were assassinated —Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley ... . Two Presidents have been technically arrested during lheir terms of office— Franklin Pierce and U. 8. Grant. Pierce, on horseback, ran down an old lady in I I Washington and gave himself up, I only to be promptly released.

Jefferson street, will be of interest i to his many friends as this is the ' first news from him in several year. Fred is another Decatur boy who has made good. He is a construction engineer for the FosterWheeler Co., of New York City and has installed their machinery all over the world. Just now he is on the Island of Trinidad south of Porto Rico. His letter reads: — San Fernando, Trinidad, January 31st, 1937. My Dear Folks: It is with considerable apprehension that I write you after so long a time, but I trust that you will be-! lieve me when I say that my not writing you is more from habit than anything else, and that 1 have far from forgotten about you and , think of you all very often. I received your box of Christmas candy the other day, it was for-1 warded from Galveston, as I had left there before it had arrived. It sure tasted mighty good and thank very much for it. I had been in Galveston, Texas,; before coming here, for the last 15

! months and really liked it there | very much, although it was about the hardest job I had had for some time. Had to work day and night and I was very glad when the job was completed. After getting thru here I will have to return to Galveston as I had to store my car and leave most all of my clothes in storage at the hotel. I had a rather nice trip here, as they were rather urgently in need of an engineer here I had to fly dowfY which was my first experience in the air. Went from Galveston to Miami, Fla. by train, and never having been in Florida before rather enjoyed my short stay in Miami. It required two days in the air, the overnight stop being made in San Juan, Porto Rica, and arriving here on the second day. However nothing happened and all in all it was a rather nice as well as a new experience. Trinidad is certainly a pretty Island, although not so very large. The weather has been rather warm, and we have not needed coats nor any heavy bedding at night. I rather pits you folks up north and the ! cold. They have a radio of sorts here at the Hotel and occasionally we are able to get some news from the States. We are all very much concerned over the flood conditions and trust there will not be more damage. I say we, as there are several other American here, too, so it is not so very lonesome, and I have also lately started to i get some magazines and newspapers from the States. While they ,are a bit old by the time they reach here, nevertheless they are very

e' welcome. t It seems ages since I have left e Decatur, and I suppose I would t hardly recognize any of the faces b any more. I suppose though that j u the town has not changed so very j I- much since my last visit there. I r don't imagine that I should know s very many of the people there anyj more. I expect to be here in Trins idad for the next year, I don't see how we can complete any sooner y than that, and would like very j i_ much to run up to Decatur from ( . Galveston and spend some time j with you. I shall try to do that, although it seems as though the y company never can find time to n give me a vacation. They protnisn ed to give me one after the work j at Galveston was finished, but this . work came along down here, so I 1 suppose I shall just have to hope 1 for one after nty return to the' ! States. I. i I suppose that I must bring this . I letter to a close as there is no | ! news ol interest to you, but trust ..'that I shall hear from you in the near future, and that the winter B will not be too severe on you 8 folks.

CHAPTER XIX w On Armand’s departure, Yvonne carefully locked the door. A plan had been forming in her mind. She i thought that now would be a good time to put it into execution. Under the divan Luana kept a locked suitcase. Prowling through the pockets of one of Luana’s suits that hung in the clothes closet in the bathroom, Yvonne had found a little key that morning. The suit was still there. Also the key which Yvonne would now fit to the suitcase . . . she drew it from under the couch. The lock turned, revealing some underclothes neatly tied together with silk ribbons. Yvonne was disappointed. She slid a hand under the silk garments. Only more clothes .. .7 Stayl Here was paper ... a letter? She scanned the envelope, delighted to find a man’s handwriting and a Hollywood postmark I Luana’s mysterious admirer from the Movie City! Maybe now she would get a “line” on her .. .1 Get something “on” her, to tell Armand . . .1 She drew the letter out Her eyes widened in amazement as she read ... “Dear Elizabeth—This is to let you know that I have not yet been able to bring about the annulment, but it is under way. Be assured that your father is doing everything to remove the stigma brought upon us. "Trust that I am doing my best for the sake of the family name. lam glad you are occupied. Continuous work is a great steadier. I pray for your success and your future.” The initials: ‘‘J. McC.” ended this strange letter. “Annulment? Stigma?" repeated Yvonne, clasping the paper tightly, her eyes shining with excitement. As on the principle that troubles never come singly, so is it with misunderstandings. Jimmy had been working against time on the afternoon that Mrs. Vandaveer had walked in on him in his studio. A commission from an advertising agency that would net him thirty dollars had kept him all day at his drawing board. His clock stopped at four, but in his preoccupation he was not to notice that until much later. Before he met Luana at half past five, the work must be finished. The agency closed at six. but up to seven o’clock he could be admitted through a side-door by the cleaning woman, and leave his work on the supervisor’s desk. The agency was on the West side in the Forties, not far from the restaurant where he would take Luana I to dine. Luana sometimes was late, detained at the shop a matter of fifteen or twenty minutes. But he had leeway up to seven o’clock for the delivery of his draw--1 ing to the advertising agency.* and so he need not worry. He glanced at ; the clock. Only four! He had a diear hour yet in which to finish. He worked on, and on. It struck him that the light was failing early. He put the final stroke to his drawing as the buzzer sounded in the studio. Who could this be? Perhaps some one from the agency, with further work? He hoped that this was so. Since meeting Luana, money was the one 1 commodity he needed. Not that she expected you to entertain her lavishly. She was not only thoughtful in money matters, but seemed to take more real pleasure in small, ouaint eating-places than in the elaborate. Curious how he had begun to feel that a day on which he did not see Luana was a day that was colorless, despite his work! He pressed the button that was directly inside his own door. Presently, ne heard light, quick footfalls coming up the wooden stairs. Leaning over the balustrade, he looked down on a jaunty green hat. Could it be Luana who, he I thought, had left her work early to I come right here and surprise him? His heart thumped with excitement. But it was not Luana. The low, throaty tones of Mrs. Joel Vandaveer hailed him. Then he remembered, vaguely, her suggestion of dropping in on him some afternoon and see his work. But his appointment with Luana? What was he to do about it? He reflected that there must be

He received her politely, apologizing for the untidy condition of his room, since he had been working all day. “But it's just the way it ought to look! So atmotpherie! Oh, it does remind me so of my darling Paris, of my good friends in the Quartier!" Before coming here, she had had a double brandy in her bedroom — so as to get into the spirit of Bohemia, she told herself. "Do, do show me what you’ve been doing,” she insisted, under her thick lashes her green eyes taking in the shabby room at a sweep. Here was an infinitely more deserving case than Ramon! Here

She drew the letter out. Her eyes widened in amazement. Isl

was someone infinitely more attractive than Ramon I But one must go easy with that queer Southern pride of his! With the fluid motion of a panther she went swiftly to the draw-ing-board. Her astonished gaze rested on an interior sketch of a bathroom . . . Awkwardly, apologetically, young Randolph grinned. “This isn’t my regular work. This is a pot boiler.” “A what?” She raised her green gaze from the board to the young man’s face, and thought whimsically: From plumbing to Adonisi He was certainly very good-looking. “I get occasional jobs from the advertising agencies. One can’t live on air in New York, can one?” he said brusquely, for he was embarrassed. “Os course not. Genius must live. But do, do show me your real work —your architectural designs, Mr. Randolph. I’m so thrilled about it.’’ There was enthusiasm in her voice. That touched him. He made her sit down in the only arm chair in the studio—of worn leather but comfortable—and went over to a corner and returned with a stack of drawings. Lorraine examined each in turn. She was short-sighted, and carried a lorgnette, since she was too vain to use glasses. She brought the jewelled lorgnette out now. “But these are exquisite creations. Such beauty of design 1 Why, Mr. Randolph, it reminds me of a tour with Joel that I once took, of all the divine old cathedrals of Italy! Why, you’ve c»pt’?-«<i their very spirit!” She had a certain jargon at her finger ends, with Italian and French phrases that covered the gaps. She did know something about architecture. for hadn’t she had a mild sort of a love affair with the good-look-ing Frenchman who had drawn up the plans for their villa in Cannes? There was the young architect of their Palm Beach mansion, down in Florida. He had taught her a few things besides cupolza and patios, till even Joel had objected. But that was sixteen years ago.
