O—O Hoosier Highways: The Indiana state highway system <■ nslsts of 10.212 rnili-s of road. Every mile is improved so that it can be traveled on the year around. There are 4 365 miles oi concrete pavement; 3.107 miles of bituminous macadam; 2.369 miles of oil-treated roads, such ax Nos. i 231 and 36 in Henry county; 44 rnlh's of brick pavement; 143 miles i of grave] and 184 miles of macadam. Os the total 19.212 miles 97 percent have some kind of paveI ment. This does not include the . thousands of miles of county roads . that are paved. Few states in the . entire country can make a better . showing, and very few have as uniformly good state roads. Since the inception of th* state highway system there has been expended all , told on our state roads a total of *400.000,000 for construction and , maintenance over a period of 24 y*ars. Chairman Haddon of the I commission reported to the legis- , lature that in the few yeans following the war there could be used *l6<>.mm.ms) tn widening pavements, removing grade crossings, new i i bridges and bringing up the standards of the poorer roads. At the I beginning of this year Indiana had i» 109 miles of three-lane roads and r t 229 miles of four-lane roads.—New t Cartie Courier-Times. Tomorrow Is Ours: * Tomorrow, we say, will bring a B new world, and then we add, "a e better one—we hope!" We’re not >• entirely sure about that, and yet the world tom* rrow will be condi- ’’ tioned by us—by what we think. This thinking will resolve itself ! into national politics, and eventually into what we like to refer to as away of life. So why be uncertain about it? Th* question is easy to ask. harder to answer. It probes deep into the heart. It may find then malice, distrust, indifference. prejudice. A war consciousness is not a normal one. It builds up the emotions, stirs anger. I arousea hatreds.

i HAT MWE

CHAPTER NINETEEN Vince really was a lamb this morning. Pathetically anxious to please. The sun, seeping into het body, ironed out the tired kink*. Miraculously too —for Ann was a sun-worshipper—it had a soothing effect on the mind. The possibility of reconciliation with Jim Brent didn’t seem so utterly remote a* it had in the dark hours of the night. The splash of oars made her raise her head and look down. She saw Julia in fishermen's overalls, in the dinghy! ”l’m out to get a king fish!” Julia called to them cheerily. "Be sure and be back for lunch,” Ann eried. She tried not to feel vexed with Julia for this little ruse to give Vince his innings. The sun, and his voiee, were a soporofic. She half dosed. Presently, she heard vaguely the putter of the engine of a water-taxi, but didn’t look up. In that water-taxi sat Lotus Willard—with Jim. Ann’s long golden hair and perfect figure woro at once identified by Lotus. “There’s Ann with Vinee,” she pointed out to Jim. "Honeymooning?” she smiled archly. “Or is she trying to make Hank Brugir jealous?”

uu>. Now Jim. on this free day of his, , hadn't wanted to com* aboard. Vinee had had a loadful when, last night, he had invited Mr*. Willard and himself to lunch. But his pupil had accepted before ho could decline. She knew he had this Saturday off duty. And she had driven out to the airport in her ear to get him. Besides, he reflected, he must return Vince'S ear. So he drove it himself to Biscayne Bay. The sight of Ann alone with Vince brought a question mark to bi* mind. ... Had hi* suspicion of her really had foundation? Was she nothing but a flirt—frivaioua and pieasure-aaeking? When Ann naw Jim with Lotus. Julia’s shot at random came to her mind. Net that she really believed he was a hanger-on, a parasite. But she waa disturbed, and annoyed too. Annoyed that she was found alone with Vinee! She’d give Julia a piece of hor mind. "My sister has gone fishing >a the dinghy," she told them as lacy came up en the yacht. “What about a dip in the Bay before lunch?" Jim suggested. Vince shook his head. "The barracuda may get you!” he cautioned. But Jim went off to change. He looked wonderful in bathing trunk* when he came bdek. Hi* smooth, tanned body, thought -Ann, had the powerful look of steel spring. Lotus and Vinee had gone in search of cocktail*. They were alone. Jim flung himself down on the mattress next to Ann. He began: ”1 want to apologize for last night Can’t we both forget about it. and start over again?" She had meant to be aloof. But. to her own surprise, she answered, with a little catch in her voice: “Why. yea. 14'd like that.” She waa glad she was wearing her most becoming bathing suit. ThriUod with the admiration in his eyes Grateful to the soul for the asset of.

pieeping Informed * War Price and Ration Board Shorts ♦ ♦ Allotments for next fall**** fuel oil ration to home owners will be made automatically through the matte by the ration board* when the regular application for a renewal of rations are processed this . month. Glen Hili, chairman of the . Adam* county war price and rationing Imard, announced today. This is how the adjustment will be made: I 1. Houaahslders In the 33 fuel oi! ■ ration states, will fill out a simple form sent them through the mall hy their rationing boards in June, r These application forms, properly

good looks with which nature had endowed her, although she waa in no way conceited. Julia, fishing from the dinghy, didn't know that her plan* were going sour. But with Jim beside her, Ann gave no thought to Julia or Vince. She was caught up in enchantment. She was an excellent listener. She had that pricviess capacity of drawing men out to talk about them- , selves. She exercised it now. When Mrs. Willard and Vinee , reappeared, Ann felt happily that she had made real headway with the handsome flyer. A couple of sailors had set up a big, square canvas pool in the stern. Jim and Ann had an exhilarating pre-iuncheon dip. Julia returned a* Ann dressed. The little party congregated in the yacht’s bar. Another man had come , aboard for luncheon. He was a crony of Mrs. Willard’s. A big, paunchy Wall Streeter, very jolly, and with a couple of divorces behind him. He had arrived only this morning, and immediately called Lotus up. "Your butler told me you were due to lupch on the Pelican" he , explained, "so I hired a water taxi, and on 1 came. I hope nobody object* to my crashing the parly?" Vioce reassured him that nobody did, while Lotus beamed. To have a rr-1- - --» X x. S — A A ■* A ■ fl* A flfl

presentable and amusing man pursue her was just her dish. It would show Jim Brent some competition. She hadn’t made much headway with him this morning. And, annoyingly, she'd found the pretty Ann aboard. But now the men and women were even numbers, and the day was young, yet "It must be L’Amour,” Vince declared. "You're a female menace, Lotus! And now we’re all going to have some champagne cocktails with a dash of creme-de-n>enthe in them." "W’ow! This sure tickles my spine!" the new man who was named Jinky declared. They were very potent cocktail*. Everyone waa very merry. Lunch waa a dream. Eggs-in-axpic Mlowed by lobster mousse surprise. A huge Chef's sal*<l Pear* in eointreau, and froxen cream. Coffee and a rieh walnut cake. Sparkling burgundy was served throughout lunch Mrs. Willard then reminded her host that they were all going to the races at Hialeah that Saturday as tv moon. "My husband’s Ulingarce I* the favorite entry today,” she said. "My husband has come dovn specially from Kentucky, so, of course, we must aU join him at Hialeah!" "Vince is in no condition to drive," Julia whispered to Jim as they reached the pier. Vince saved any argument hy get ting into the bock seat of hi* car and promptly going to sleep, after the cocktails and the excellent luncheon. Lotus, closely followed by the big man. Jmky, had got into her own limousine. • "We can all squeeze in here," she cried. But there was no moving Vinee. He simply woaldnY budge He hsd ! extended himself in hi* comfortable i back seat, and was already snoring.
