Looks like the average person who drives his car for pleasure or convenience in the eastern states, will have to limit his indulgence to whatever he can do on two or three gallons of gas per week. That ought t<> slow 'em down considerably and will. When the sub menace is put out of the way, they will soon return to normalcy. O—O Tile sugar rationing proved that Decatur has grown since the 1940 < ensue. The census gave the city a population of 5.861 while 6,365 persons tiled for sugar cards. Os course there are some who did uot hie, so it is reasonable on that basis to figure a population In excess of 6,500. And we are still growing. As a comparison. Bluffton with a census of 5 117 had 5,376 registrations. O—O The sinking of submarines on the Atlantic coast continues to be the big menace of the wai that can't be checked. It will probably result in most of the taukers being withdrawn from sea service temporarily. which is the big reason for the gasoline shortage in the east. The navy department, however, reports that many of the U-boats are being sunk and they believe they will eventually have the upper hand of this devastating method of warfare. —o The American seamen and airmen met up with a powerful Japanese fleet, apparently headed for an attempted invasion of Australia. The in ws is encouraging. The big fleet was pounded and shattered i for five day*. a score oi craft of various kinds, sunk and the Japs took to their heels. The Yanks are taking no chances however. They followed them and will keep them on the move until they find cover. In any think like an evenly matched flight, we can lick cm. —o Every man who is able physical- , ly and who hue no dependents or Is not needed for dependency, will of course be subject to call for military service, unless he is more needed in industry or other work vital to the war. Frequently it requires more courage to remain at home than to join up. but there should be no scorn for those who do for their job may be one that keeps food or munition going and that's quite necessary. Every one must be a soldier these days, wherever he is aud whatever he is doing. O—O The major political parties have reorganised in the county and Will be ready for the campaign. <l. Remy Bierly. reelected as county chairman, announces that be will call in Ihe committeemen and women from the city io select «hairman. vice-chairman and secretarytreasurer for the Decatur city cam paign.

The men and women who man the civilian front have the task of supplying the American people, as well as a large part of the rest of the world, with necessary food and clothing Theirs is the task of keeping the best-fed and best equipped army in the world —an ever-growing V. 8 Army—in the •eld. < And that to no easy task in these days of scarcity -scarcity of raw material*, scarcity of labor and scarcity of time. Theirs in realty an msraoss job.

for the average American in the Army needs almost double the food and clothing he gets In civilian life. The average male civilian in this country cats 125 pounds of meat a year. The soldier gets 360 pounds. The civilian drinks 15<» t i>outidn of milk, but the soldier drinks 210 pounds. The civilian wears two pairs of shoes a year, the soldier three The civilian gets one pair of trousers, the soldier five. These manufacturers and producers of "non-cMentia!'' goods are making H their Job to see to It that the civilian population —millions of whom are manning the production front — do not suffer for want of essential food aud clothing, aud that our soldicra have the highest quality of everything necessary to make them the strongest army ever known. — ■ O'Household Scrapbook I By ROBERTA LEE | Q How do guests at a house or week-end party asterism when they are expected to arise in the morning 7 A. it Is up to the houtesv to let them know when to arise, and when breakfast aud the other meals are to t»e served.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE Mrs. Hunt’s black eyes flashed resentment at me as she came into the cottar* and found me there. Rut a neighborly call on a sick acquaintance isn't anything you can make a fuss about. "You rot here pretty quick,” she said, sullenly. "Yes," I smiled. "I wanted to 1 to see if there was anything 1 could I do for your patient.” There was nothing I eould do for her. But she had done something for me. Now 1 knew that Mrs. Hunt had been in Durfee’s garage the night he was killed. If she was involved in the Durfee killing, then might ah* not be concerned also in the other killings? Mr*. Hunt stood glaring at me as Miss Dawson spoke again. “There is something you eould do,” she said. "When your houseboy drives in to town tomorrow —or the next person who goes in—have him bring out our things from th* drug store, like he did a few days ago.” I cannot explain what clicked in my mind at that instant. Nor why I 1 remembered then an incident that : had been forgotten for th* past f week. But suddenly, with Miss i Daw*on's words, it all spread itself before my memory. If I had been completely discreet. I should not ’ have mentioned it. But I spoke before I thought—perhaps while 1 was thinking it through. "We did have some medicines at eur hews* for yon, didn’t we? You j came and got them from the ranch house, didn’t you, Mrs. Hunt ? And you waited in the hall for several minutes while I was telephoning, didn’t you?” "I don't know what you are talking about,” she said, in that tonelee* voice that annoyed me so. I stared straight at th* pocket of her white uniform. “And you always carry a fountain pen in your rtket, don’t you, Mrs. Hunt?" ... wee moving toward her now, white het with excitement as the facto 1 had overlooked clicked into place tn my mind. "1 don’t know what you’re talking about,” Florabelle said again, and walked into the kitchen. I followed her. “I hope you’ll soon be better.” I almost threw the word* at Mis* Dawwn. “And I’ll be back aad aee yec again.” IH be back with the sheriff, 1 promised myself, as quickly as lean get hold of him. Now thia next part of my story eome* under th* head of coincidence*—nobody need believe it who doesn’t want to—for it to so amaaing‘*h*t it was hard for me to believe it myself. But a* I hurried back, across th* daoryard to th* cottage, the next elu* that I needed—th- one 1 had overlooked longest — blew before my feet.

have missed this next clue—but I came byway of the trash burner - and passed it on my way to Lance's > ear. ’• My heart was beating and I eould " feel my cheeks blazing with excites menu Florabelle Hunt was mixed up in the killing of Worth Durfee, e Os that I was certain. She was involved in the death of Estelle Gregg, » too—she had opportunity to change 1 the figure on the medicine label. The changed figure had been don* f with a pen. I remembered how clum- ! sily th* box was wrapped. I noticed 1 it at the time. Then she must have - unwrapped the box, ehanged the fig- ' ure, replaced the paper while I was ■ telephoning Martha. The pieces of 1 th* puzzle were slipping into place. I got in the car. I must get to Gallina as fast as I eould and tell ; Sheriff Allen what I had discovered. , The wind blew some scraps of t paper from the trash burner. What- , ever possessed me to do it, I cannot ’ explain, for the engine was purring and I was ready to throw the ear i into gear. But something about the [ bit* of paper attracted my attention t and I got oat and picked them up. 1 From th* kitchen window Florai bell* Hunt was watching m*—but 1 I picked them up just the same: i Some scrap* of newspaper. Some I letter* torn across. A bill or two. Then something that seemed fanul--1 iar—l looked again. It was th* photograph of Walter : Gregg taken at the Gallina Dam. 1 The very photo that Ftorabelle ' Hunt had taken from th* wall of the study the first tint* I saw her I But it wasn’t th* photograph that ' startled me and gave me the eloe that helped mo along th* next step on th* trail. It was what was missing from ; the photograph. The pictured fee* i of Harry Craven, standing in th* ■ foreground, had been earefuliy cut , out Only a round bole remained. , Such a bote a* weald be left by eut- , ting out a drcls large enough to , wear in a watch or a locket. That circle was miasingl Then it was th* picture of Harry Craven she had stolen! Th* part containing Walter Gregg had been thrown out to be burned. And 1 held it in my hand. That missing rirde, to neatly clipped from th* larger photograph, told ns* it* own story. Someone at th* cottage in Hidden Cove—«itbcr Paulin* or Florabelle —valued a photograph of Harry Craven so much that she would steal ' it. Enough to steal a large picture to ent that small face from tr* center! It eould not b* Pauline, for Martha knew her history, I reasoned with myself all th* way back to th* ranch house. Sh* eould hav* no secret association with Craven. It must be Florabell*. 8* many other things now began to be dear.
