ACCIDENTS ARE ON DECREASE Automobiles Claim Less Victims For Ninth Consecutive Month Chicago, Aug. 29. — — The national safety council reported today that for nine consecutive months—starting last November—there has been an unbroken decrease in motor vehicle fatalities throughout the country from the corresponding mouths of 1936-37. The council recorded 23,510 fatalities during the period from October, 1937, through July this year. The reduction in fatalities, or number of lives saved during that time, was 6.130. There were 16.030 fatalities during the first seven months of this year, a reduction of 4,520 from the same period last year, and 2,740 fatalities in July, 1938, as opposed to 3,740 for July last year. "The nation even came through the traditional traffic bugaboo of July 4 with a 21 per cent reduction in fatalities under July of last year." the council said. The council credited newspaper safety campaigns for the decrease. Wyoming headed the state hon-

or roll with a 45 per cent reduction in fatalities from Jan. 1 this year, through July. Pennsylvania and Michigan followed with 39 per cent decreases. Thirty-nine states and 307 cities had traffic deaths records for the first seven months of 1938 which

CHAPTER XXIX Whitney finished her chocolate cake and brushed crumbs from the lap of her pink cotton frock. She had untied the dark blue linen handkerchief she wore about her neck and the sun felt warm and soft against her bare throat. She said: “Let's get Tod to let us live out here summers. We can fix the tennis court up again and bathe in the old swimming hole and do a lot of riding ... I’d love it, Scott.” “And I should hate it, darling. In the first place, it's too far from town. We’d almost never see anyone . . . and then the evenings are so darn long and so quiet. With all those funny, weird noises that you get in the country, and then it’s daylight at three o’clock in the morning and the birds start making that ungodly racket...” Whitney looked at him for a moment, then she moved her eyes to her low-heeled leather sandals. “I’d forgotten that you didn't like the country much, Scott. I remember now that you never did. only then it didn’t seem to matter.” “Does it matter now?” “No, of course not. Only, in town we're almost never by ourselves and it’s times like this when we are that things seem almost right again ..” Scott laughed and swept the luncheon basket out of the way and slid close to her, putting an arm about her shoulders. He said: “What do you mean by ‘almost right again' ... I thought things were pretty j swell.*' She continued to regard her; sandals and her slim, slightly tanned j legs with their blue wool socks 1 turned down neatly at the ankles.! She said: “They are, really. Only I I suppose I would like things to be exactly as they used to be and they can’t be ..’” “Os course, they can’t be.” Scott appropriated one of her hands and bent each finger back separately and gently. His eyes looked amused and tolerant. “Because we aren’t exact- , ly as we used to be, sweet. We’re two j completely different people, really.” i “Are we, Scott?” “Yes, of course. We’re four years older in the first place . . . we’re probably as adult as we’re ever go ing to be. Four years ago we were a couple of very attractive children playing pleasantly at love ... we didn’t know what it was all about, really.” Whitney said: "Didn’t we? I think we did. I think that nothing will ever be quite so real to me again.” Scott dropped her hand abruptly. “When you talk like that you annoy me like the devil, Whit. Can’t you stop being so much in love with me • s I was four years ago and be a little more in love with me as I am at the moment? It would be more agreeable and a damn eight more flattering to me . . .” “Yes,” said Whitney, “1 suppose it would be.” “See here,” said Scott a little brutally, “whether you know it or not you are being downright sentimental ... and a little silly. It’s all right to cling to your memories and to be faithful to them, and heaven knows I’m grateful to you for having continued to love me all this time, but now that we’re back together again with everything ironed out and forgotten, can’t you stop looking back over your shoulder at the past and concentrate a little more on the present? After all, darling, it’s the present that’s important.” Whitney said again: “Yes, I suppose so.” And remembered that Tod had once said that Scott had no use for the past or the future . . . that only the present had any meaning for him. The sun slid suddenly down behind an ancient lilac hedge and Whitney shivered slightly and drew her pink cotton skirt close about her

knees and tied the dark blue linen handkerchief about her throat. But you can’t live life that way ... at least you can’t if you give it any sort of intelligent thought. They’re all bound up together, they’re all three terribly dependent on each other, and the past and the future are really more important than the present can ever be.... She turned her head and regarded Scott thoughtfully. He was still scowling a little, his chin thrust out, his mouth looking a little sullen, but as she stared at him he grinned at her disarmingly, all his bad temper disappearing like water sliding noiselessly out of sight. “Darling, he said, “let’s not quarrel. I can think of so many other things ws can do so much better ...” She propped her elbows on her drawn-up knees and leaned her chin' on the palms of her hande and said irrelevantly: “You are so goodlooking, Scott. Do you suppose it is possible for a person to love another person just because of the color of his hair and the pleasant arrangement of his features?” Scott’s grin became amused, indulgent. “I wouldn’t know about that. But I undoubtedly shouldn’t love you if you were old and ugly, so I suppose it is quite possible. But what difference does it make why I love you, so long as I do?” Whitney was fairly sure that it did make a difference but at the moment it didn't seem worth while to try to find out what it was ... since her illness she often found that it was difficult to think things through to a conclusion. That more and more she let herself drift along with the days. Not feeling anything very’, much. Neither excessive delight nor excessive displeasure. Just accept, ing things calmly and almost apathetically, until sometimes she wondered with a little sense of perturbation if she had lost all capacity to be deeply stirred. If she had it was | a little too bad. Because once she I had been capable of responding in- J tensely ... of loving greatly. Once | she had been filled with a great zestj for living, her hands had reached i out eagerly and her heart had been \ beautifully attuned to happiness.; But now she knew only a queer, not I unpleasant numbness which noting, not even her swiftly approach-i ing marriage, could penetrate. She! had even stopped raring very much j that Tod did not answer her letters. j She had even reconciled herself, finally to the fact that he would j probably not appear for her wed-1 ding. And then three days before she was to be married, she walked intO| Hester Prentice’* library and found: him calmly sitting on the arm of a brown velvet chair, turning the pages of an English review which Hester had subscribed to since a trip abroad forty years before. She came part way into the room and stood quite still and stared at : him. She had been playing tennis and she was wearing a pink linen dress and a white piqu4 hat with a < visor and flat-heeled white tennis shoes. She pulled off the hat and her hair I lay dark and sort of pressed down close to her head and there was a little pink line across her forehead where the hat had fitted too tightly She said: "Hello, Tod .. . it's nice of you to be alive and well but I still think you might have answered my letters. At least one of them.” Tod said: “I didn’t get any letters. I’ve been moving around.’’ Before he had finished lying, the pink line on her forehead had disappeared and she had run her fingers through her hair, releasing it into its usual soft disorder. She said: “Well, it doesn’t matter so long as you are here, I suppose.” She walked the rest of the way and stopped in front of him and stood quite still, twisting the white pique visor of her hat back and

forth between her fingers. Finally she tossed it over his shoulder onto the table behind him and linked he* hands together behind her back Tod stared at her, hit hand clenched about the arm of the chair he was sitting on, hit long legs stretched out in front of him. He had been smiling but ho stopped and simply tat there staring at her. She expects you to kiss her. Well, why don’t you? You’ve kissed her before. Hundreds of times. It's easy enough. Just bend your clumsy head and kiss her. Not on the mouth. On the cheek. Kiss her aud get it over with. He kissed her. She stood away from him and he saw to his horror that she was crying. Slow tears straggling down her cheeks. She made no attempt to stop them. Simply let them continue to squeeze out of her eyes and roll down her cheeks. He said: “See here! What are yon crying about? I thought you were all well by now .. “I am. I’m perfectly well. I’m only crying because I'm so relieved to see you. Look, I thought you weren’t coming . . . and I guess I cared more than I realized. Anyway, I don’t see why I shouldn’t cry if I want t 0...” Tod said: “Sure, go ahead. If it makes you feel any better.” Suddenly they both laughed and as suddenly stopped. Whitney took the handkerchief he offered her and rubbed her cheeks and handed it back to him. She said: “Where are you staying? Out at the farm? You can stay here, you know . . Tod said: “I’m at the Statler. You see, I’m only in town for the day . .He stopped and moved his eyes from her face. Then he said: “I’m sailing tonight on the Britannic. Got to spend a couple of days in London clearing up some business and be in Paris the twenty-fifth.” Whitney said: “I’m being married day after tomorrow.” “Yes.” said Tod. “I read about it in the paper.” “Well, then, you’ll have to take another boat.” “I’m sorry, Whit, but it can’t be done. Everything is arranged.” She stared at him, her checks white. T don’t care what is arranged. You can’t go off like this. I won't let you. Do you understand, Tod, 1 wou't Itt you.’’ “I’m afraid you’ll have to. I haven’t anything to say about it. The office settled everything days ago.” “But if you toid them,” Whitney was speaking slow ly, accenting each word carefully, “if you explained why you wanted to take a later boat . . . if you tried. Tod . . .*' Suddenly color blazed in her cheeks, she was breathing hard, her eyes were shining. For the first time in weeks she felt alive. Alive and fighting desperately for something she wanted . . . for something she had to have. It was a good feeling. It was a grand feeling, really. It was better than anything that had ; happened to her in weeks. . . . Tod was smiling at her. It was a strange sort of smile. It made i him seem strange. Almost unl friendly. He said: “Perhaps. But why should I bother, darling? You can’t expect to have everything your own way and you are getting the one thing you have always wanted most, aren’t you? You are getting Scott.” She stepped back as if he had struck her. Considered him coldly now. Almost hostilely. “Yes, of course. But that doesn’t change the fact that you are being pretty rotten, Tod. Pretty brutal. You could stay if you wanted to. „ut you don’t want to. Quite deliberately you are walking out on me when I need you most . . .’’ (To be continued) Copyright. 1927. by King F«gtur«« SrndiotU. ln&

Schricker Says Greater State Fair Ready For 1938 Fans

A greater Indiana State Fair has bien arranged for an anticipated attendance of 450,000 fans this year according to Lieut.Governor Henry F. Schricker, Commissioner o f Agriculture end head of the exposition.

f ' ’ H. F. Schricker

Commissioner Schricker is confident that Hoosier citizens really enjoy their expositions, both from »n exhibitor and sightseeing standpoint, and is just as certain that the many added attractions and improvements this year will make the State Fair, Sept. 3 to 9, inclusive, the most outstanding in 86 years. Investigation has revealed that Indiana farmers are enjoying fine crops this year which is going to make for keen competition with the out-of-state exhibitors. The exhibits by the 4-H Club boys and girls during the past 17 years have grown until they constitute a highly important part of the Fair. The Lieutenant Governor points out the great improvement in Indiana livestock breeding during the past few years and declares a large amount of credit for this is due the 4-H Club graduates, who have reached maturity and now are managing their own farms and producing prize winners in horticulture and home economics as well as livestock. The Purdue and Indiana University educational exhibits are distinct assets to the Fair, according to Commissioner Schricker. j The management of the Hoosier exposition has made it a point the past few years to have all livestock exhibited under permanent roof. For years, according to Commissioner Schricker the faithful Hoosiers have been attending the State Fair studying the best this state and others produce and have applied that learning until the degree of improvement shown in standards of production and quality is our stats has mads it unexcelled in the nation today.
