O—O ID port* from Germany Hay that j many transport* carrying llrttish soldiers were sunk in Greek waters i while dlspatehes from England say j that not a transport went down and not a man was lost in the evaluation. Surely one or the other Is wrong. How about a special sate day during the street fair? Usually the week is devoted entirely to pleasure but a merchant from another city where they have annual fairs, says that I* making a special effort they set up one day for a general sale and that It brings results. If tiler, were a tire in your neighbor hood and »paiks were flying toward your house, you wouldn't go on building an anut-x or putting up new curtains at that moment, says Susan Thayer.

It's wise In every way. Fred Kichborn. of the public service commission, calls attention to another blunder by the recent ripper legislative session. A new law provides tor publication of legal notices affecting utilities lor Indiana Ip the county hi which they have their principal office. The old law wisely provided for publication in the county where the hearing was scheduled,

When the militia was called to service several tnuiiths ago, the stale was without any military force that could be used. Governor ffehrtekor. realizing the iiecd for such an organization. has been working steadily to secure a state guard aud is succeeding. This will be the tirat chance for the public to see them on duty. A number of columnists, radio broadcasters and newspapers seem to be specializing in sensational statements that war Is imminent for this nation. We don’t believe It aud we doubt the advisability of such publicity. It teuds to create false patriotism at a time *wheu good judgment la to be preferred. Misquoting those in authority or twisting the words to mean something not intended may make headlines, bu* It doesn't make for the best Interests of the people. War can only be declared by congress and they will u«t do *o uuieas they have the support of the people.

NAZI INDUSTRY AREAS BOMBED —■ - British Bombers Make Heaviest Raid Os War On Areas London. May < — (U.R — British long range bombing planes made their heaviest raid of the war on the German middle Rhine Industrial area during the night, it was said in reliable quarters today, and l{ wa* believed that the new supei-i bomb* were used.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN The Forest Man came In through the reception room door, closing it sfter him. “No luck," he announced. "Searched the house, the grounds; but learned nothing of our prowler, wva the manner of his rrit—through the window yonder. Rosebush underneath la crushed and broken. Someone in a burry landed there in a heap.” Involuntarily, Sondra’s eyes moved to the spot under the window where she had picked up the gold button that was now burning her palm. “Look at the safe, Winthrop,” suggested Kemp. “I saw it—and smelled it—before I left. Nitroglycerine. You've examined it?" “Yee. Whoever cracked It was clever. Came prepared to take full advantage of Ltane'a torch-dance and the explosion of the Venetian Fire.” “Who, besides yourselves, knew all the details of that dance?" Kemp shrugged. “Half the town, perhaps. I've no idea how many persons Liane told about it” But into Sondra’s mind flashed the name of one person whom Liane undoubtedly had told about it. Jean Reyn all. He himself bad said so, as they danced together. Her Angers tightened on the button, while she swiftly revolved the incidents following Hcynaii'a appearance at the party: His insistence that she meet him at the batiya; hie failure to keep that appointment; the library door locked against chance intrusion. And, most damning of all, the button from his uniform. Had he schemed to get her out of the bouee to-— “Sondra!” The Forest Man broke in on her thoughts. “You're positive there was nothing of value in the safe?” "Absolut, ly nothing.” But the words were hardly out when she recalled that the safe held one thing >f value, of great value, to Jean Seynall. The Bates contract Was 4 still there? She longed to know the answer, Jut shrank from learning it while inder the eyes of her two companions. A second burst of applause from the next room brought them all to startled realisation that Liane was completing her encore. “Lord!” gasped Kemp. “Tbey’U be yelling for lights in a minute.” Alexander rose, grinning. "All right. Let’s go.” “Just one thing.” Kemp spoke Hastily. “We're all agreed that we my nothing about thia to anyone, tonight. Right?” Alexander acquiesced at ones. The Forest Man, after a slight hesitation, also nodded; and the three men started toward the drawingroom door. Sondrs, her mind on the Bates contract, would have lingered, >ut Kemp caught her arm. "You must be present when the Ightt go up,” he said. "All your tuesta will be wanting to eongratu•te you on the show." “That’s right, Sondra,” the Forwt Man agreed. “Go along in. Just save me your key and 111 lock up •ere.” The lights came on. The guests, dill applauding, surged forward to he platform to congratulate Liane. ihe stood to receive them, smiling, irrogant, and savagely beautiful in mr war bonnet and girdle of heads. The long, shrill bUzt of a boat's vhiftle plunged the room into sud*n cilenee. Another, and then anther whistle joined the first, until be waterfront rang to a bedlam of rolonged shrieks. Thero was a counted rush to the open windowe facig the bay. Bnneone shouted. That looks like the Tanya tearing l!" Then, through the night, came the oghorn bellow of Chris Sandvik, The run is on! Five square miles r herring flipping off the entrance t Whale Bay!” A cheer broke from the men and t-laej crowding each other for a lew f.wa the windows. "The run!

concentrated on a vletory." In urging all possible aid to lli Main. Hr Eliiolt also demanded a larger share In world affairs for this country. lie proposed that the United Slates set up a trusteeship withHrlUtn to restore order In the world after the present conflict Is won. Dr. Elliott said that having underwritten Ihe lirtitsh empire twice, most Americana were unwilling to continue such a course unless the United State* had "a greater part tu world affalra." Step Toward War Fort Wayne, lud. May 6 ru.R, Uli.it gins that Ihe lease lend bill was only a atep lu the direction of war, V. S. Sen. Wayland lirook*. it, 111,, laal night told an America first committee rally that because congress authorized the president to lease-end. "now they are saying we have got to get the lease-lend supplies there." "Nczt they will say that having got the supplies there, men will be needed to run Ihe tank* and fly the plane*," Brooks declared. "Each move has been a atep In but utte direction." Brook* challenged Ihe president'* authority to make America an "arsenal for democracy," and declared that the hat.ed* of Europe were so bitter that eveu America's participation ill the wrar could no! wipe out ihe hltterueas. “If It were possible to abolish these hatreds I should favor the

The run Is on!” And in a flash the rooms at Echo House became a milling confusion of hoop skirt* and flying coat-tails and hasty good-by*. The house wa* nearly empty of the throng when Sondra heard her grandfather roaring, "Alexander! Where in Tophet is that hoy? Sondy! Snndy, come here!” She ran in to him. "Step lively, gurll Get some of the men here to carry me down to the float. The Tasya leaves in twenty minutes Step lively, damn it!” "But—darling! You’re not going out on a trawler with your leg in a cast! You can’t—" "Like blazes I cant? I’m fed bilge-full with thig sit-by-tho-flrc business. I'm goin' out and see my boys All their ncla. Don't stand there •taring like—” “If you go. Dynamite O'Moorc, I’m going, too,” declared Rondra. "And if you go, Sondra." cried Liane, darting from Ihe window, "I’m going with you.” The Captain lifted hie eyebrows. “They say a woman's a hoodoo aboard ship on the first day of the run. But. by the horn-bilied Jcczwaz. with a pair as good-lookin' as you, 111 back the O’Moore luck against a batchful of hoodoos? Get goin', me darlin’s. Get goin’?” • • • • The Tanya, flagship of the O’Moore herring fleet, waited at the float, her trim seventy-foot length vibrating to the turn-over of a throttled engine. Sondrs, on the afterdeck, was savoring the peeuliar exhilaration of the moment. This waa Alaska. This was home. No other land offered such contrasting way* of life; such stimulus of adventure always in the offing. Beside her on tho main hatch, flanked by his crutches, sat her grandfather; master's cap at a devil-may-care angle on hta white head, pea-jacket buttoned over the uniform he had worn at his birthday party. He was jovially complimenting Liane on her outing costume. “In bead* or blue serge, Dark-and-Dcvilish, ye’re a menace to masculine self-control.” Chris Sandvik leaped aboard, itopped short, and glared at the two girla. “Cap’n, you’re not taking them with us—on oar first trip of the season?” Liane, smugly flippant, drawled, “Yes, my vegetable love. He certainly Is!” Chrie ignored her. "Cap’nl” he bleated. “You know a woman's bad luck on a fish-boat. But two women! We might as well shove off with a bilge full of gas and all hands playing with flrccrarken." “Sure, now. Skipper," Dynamite’s tone was heguilingly diplomatic, “ Tl* your ship, ami be it far from me to say who shall come aboard. But with mcxelf hove down and dismantled, Chris dear, I had a great wish for Sondy, here, to come along and look after me poor old hull.” Chris shoved his cap to the back of his head and eyed bit employer euepiciously. "Hunkt All right,” he assented. “But she—” He jerked a thumb toward Liane. “She goes ashore. Beat, it Misa Bootrin. I’m caating off.” “3/iss Bootrin, he eall* me! And we went to school together. Oh, Cbri-i-f-«!” Liane’s voice ran the gamut from hurt astonishment to tend»rest reproach. She caught his hand. The big fellow, truculent yet shrinking, started backing away, while Liane followed, pleading, “Don't be a meanie, just because you’ve grown up into a big, handsome fleet captain. I just want to watch you do It, Chris. I won’t bother you—honest." She had him backed against the turntable now, further rett eat cut off. “Pleease, Chris!” Her uplifted melting gaze waa scarcely a foot from his drawnbaek chin. “Let me come along." "I—«h—awh, well! Stay, if you waat to." He wrenched himself free, and bolted forward to the pilffthouse. “But keep clear of toe!” he htrfcsd bask ever his tho aider a* he disappeared inside.
