The President In asking that we Io nor tile flag of the 32 United Nations on Monday, June 11. NUessM th- importance of teamwork among nations. This is because working together. pooling our resources, planning and executing a global war is the very heart of the United Nations Idea. Every nation has to do Its part because we can only win if we work together. This go> s tor each one of us here in the U. 8. A. Some of arc on the battlefront fighting shoulder to shoulder with our United Nations Allies. Some of us are working long hours in war plants or laboting on the farms to keep our nation and these United Nations fighting at full strength. Not everyone can bear a gun or do war work. But everyone can buy War Bonds. That is why the euggestion of the United Stateu Flag Association that we set aside Flag Week.. June M to 14 to buy an extra *100,080,000 of bonds is a happy combination of patriotism and practical self-interest. America can't win. the United Nations can't win, unless each one of us doe* everything he can. So buy another War Bond during Flag Week, June X to 14. And pass tbe word along! -0 Winston's Cigar: A little it>-m coming across the pond from Umdon may result in an emergency session of the No Tobacco la-ague. The cable reported that the tiny parish church at Cranslxy, Northamptonshire, soon will have what is believed to be the first stained glass window In the world showing a man with a cigar. Your first guess Is correct. The man is Winston Churchill, England's prime minister and cigar smoker extraordinary. The designer of tbe window said h. e*uM see no reason why Mr. Churchill should not have bis cigar lin the likeness prepared for tb«.I memorial window. Future generations should be shown the British ; leader as be was In real life, and the picture scarcely would bo complete without the almost inevitable perfects. There art places, of course.

Twenty Years Aao Today 4 —♦ June II Governor Al Smith Is conferring with mid west Democratic leaders at French Lick. C. L. Ayres of Detroit visits friends here. Judge Merryman presides over meeting of Adams county bar aswhere a cigar or cigarette would offend good taste, even though one had no quarrel with the general smoking proposition. Public opinion frowns on cigars in church or theaters. Few would puff away on the tinest of Colorado ciaras at a wedding. A prominent individual may pose for press photographers while in the act of puffing contentedly on a bit of "rope" and nobody would Hit an eyebrow. One yet has to hear, however, of a male eltting for some real "store'' photographs with a cigar in the lAouth. The cigar may be the salvation of the Churchill likeness iu that stained-glass window. Too frequently that type of art resembles the individual about as closely as the average passport "snap.''—lndianapolis Star.

• CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO Vince came over to Ann. He chuckled: “ Take a load of Julia and that chap 1 alm'jst busted in the nose! She’s the queen bee, and ia he buzzing around her hive!” “Don't be vulgar, Vince,” snapped Ann. “What’a the matter? You’re all ateamed up like a Turkish bath!” Ann asked: “What's Lotus been saying to Jim to make him look so aerious?” Vince glanced over. “She looks like a lemon that has just been gquCCZCd.** Ann chided him: "You shouldn’t use such nasty expressions about your hostess!” “Hostess my foot I Her old man forks out the dough. And Is he mad! He aete like a bull with a half-dozen matador's darts in his hide.” She thought desperately: I’ve got to tell him! Got to tell poor Mr. Willard that the race was deliberately queered—that Stingartt lost through monkey busineaa for which Hank paid the jockey! She would go right over to Jim and take him aside—make a clean breast of what she had Just seen and heard. But he deliberately snubbed her. As she moved towards him, he turned on his heel and Joined Julia and Upton. What possessed her then, she did not know. Perhaps it was the urge to be near Jim, willy-nilly. At the same time, to show him he wasn't the only man in the world. 80 she went up to Roger Upton in the little group, and started to make berself channing to him. “I really ought to make you an apology,” she began. “I’m tbe one who ordered you men out of my little apartment last night.* * “Our little apartment,” corrected Julia, looking annoyed. When Aan could gather beaux as easily as one could snip daisies in a meadow, it was a mean trick to horn ia on her little flirtation! “All is forgotten," said Roger Upton, “in the light of your eyes!" “The fart was," smiled Ann, “that I’d had quite a few cocktails. I’m sorry now * "Forgiven 1 May I ret you some champagne?” Roger inquired. “Please." When he had moved away for a moment, Julia said, in an aside: “Aren’t you the hypocrite, pretending to be so shocked when he tried to date me over the phono this morning !* Julia's voice was carrying. Jim overheard. “I’ve changed my mind. That’s a girl's prerogative. I think he’s very nice—end very good-looking,” said Ann, deliberately— and for Jim'a benefit “Even if he is a pick-up?" Julia went Ofc. “And you only this morning looking down your nose when you read in the paper that his wife is divorcing hirnlMy sister—" she turned to Jim—“is so stuffy about etiquette! A regular Emily Foot when it eomee to otkers,” she said meaningly. “Sour puss!" laughed Ann. Ron* Upton returned with a brimming goblet for her. From tbe tail of her eye, Ann eould see Jim chatting pleasantly with Juba. Roger lowered bu voice

to nay: “I'm in luck, being with you. You're lovely-looking!’’ "Thanks,”—demurely. ‘■To the prettiest girl I’ve ever teen!” His voice had risen higher, so that the other couple overheard his toast “What about dining some evening?” he went on. "Ob, I’m a hard-working girl,” Ann lightly replied. "Besides, my sister wont be here all week, she's an air-line hostess." "1 didn’t mean your elater. 1 mean you/” "I’m afraid my week is pretty well booked.” But, noticing that Jim was looking sideways at her, she smiled at Roger. That encouraged him to suggest: "Tuesday at the Cascade* at half Fast five? Your store closes then, know. I’ll be waiting.” The other two heard him. "Um. 1 don't know.” "Please. He—whoever he it, the lueky stiff—can surely spare me one little hour?” he begged Ann. Ann laughed musically. "You have the sweetest laugh,” ho told her. That reminded her achingly of something similar Jim had told her, at their meeting at Mrs. Willard’s benefit tea. Extraordinary, that in sueh a short time, her whole world could be so altered! "Come on, say yes? The Cascades at half past five?’’ Ann shook her head and strung round. She would bring Jim and Julia into the conversation—give it a different trend —show Julia she wasn't really interested in Roger Upton, or his casual invitations. "Excuse me,” Jim said. Be didn’t look at Ann, but at her sister. "I’m going to have a look at the last race.” And he went off. Julia at one* applied herself to Roger. From her sister's angle, Ann was well aware she was the third wheel. She'd been a pig. monopolising Roger, even briefly, sine* Julia wanted his attention. Furthermore, she felt badly about Jim. Mrs. Willard was deep in a tete-i---tite with the man named Jinky. Her husband was nowhere around. "Don’t tell me something slipped up?" Vince’s voice at her elbow. After all, wasn't ho a good old standby? "Let’s go out and splash a little on the last race?” be suggested. "I’ll stake you.” “No.” She’d had enough of betting. Never again did she want to gamble. Hadn't it brought her plenty of trouble? She steered him away from the pari-mutuel windows. Always her eyes were in search of Jim. “I guess,” said Vince cheerfully, "you’re waiting for the feature— I'm only the newsreel, huh?” "It ill-becomes you to be humble.” she laughed. But she didn't feel humoroui inside. "Gm up, baby!” said Vine*. "It’s L'Amour I You ; r* on th* track of our handsome Rier, goldarn him!” “11l say you’ve certainly got L'Amrur oa your mind!” "I’ve got pea on my mind. I still want to give you th* yacht for a wedding present, honey. And that’s a heek of a lot mere than that stuffed shirt can hand you.” "You're incorrigible,” smiled Ann.
