Corporation income, taxes were 3160,000,000 and individuals paid in 1142.000,000. Home idea of the increased taxes Is -hown by a comparison with 1930 when all federal taxes collected in Indiana was 326.000.000. Earnings in this and other states have of course gone up accordingly or such a tax as in now being paid could not possibly be raised. We should also keep in mind that 96% of ail Hie money raised by Uncle Sain is being used for war purposes, leaving but 4% tor operation of routine affairs of government. —o Greatly increased coin production to meet the food and feed demands is made possible next year as a result of an outstanding piece of research by the Purdue university agricultural experiment station. The results of the research jurt published in a bulletin. "Howto Fertilize Effectively in Indiana." ate regarded by W. V. Lambert, associate director, "as a milestone in our understanding of problems of fertility.” Facts disclosed by the research, he says, prove that if sufficient fertilizer in available to use on corn land in Indiana in 1941 th,- yield can be increased "greatly.” Method* for adding nitrogen directly to the soil Is one of the revolutionary discoveries made by the survey which started in 1936. Maurice Early in Indianapoli, Star. Busy day and night and frequently on Sundays with the affairs of state, Gov. Schricker lias little time for politic, these days. But he took his lunch hour the other day to speak briefly at a district Democratic meeting. "I am concerned above everything else about what Indiana does to help win the war. not about politics," he said. "It is discouraging to read in the pre,, of attempts to divide us. and of the attack, on the President. I told a small meeting of Repuhllcans recently that we have only one President he was chosen by the will of the people and there will be no other President until the will of the people determines otherwise ‘lf Wendell Wilikie had been elected,' I told them, 'you would have expected full allegiance from me as governor of Indiana to the man chosen by the people I ■ think we should expect the same allegiance from you —he's the Presl-ient of all of the people.

The Italians themselves say not at all- They were just plain beaten. Or go it ,eem-« from an interview by correspondent Harold Boyle, representing the combined United States news channels, with a captured Malian officer. The officer told Boyle the military garrison was Informed July 7 that the Allie, would attempt a landing, as they did. on July 10. The officer wad asked why Sicily wa-n't more heavily fortified. Said he: "We saw no need for reinforcement,. We had been fortifying those positions for two yeans." Then the officer replied Indignantly: “We fought bravely and well. But we could not stand up against your naval gun,. They blew our guns and fortifications into <he air and killed our friends. It was frightful." Correspondent Boyle reveal, that the American landing point of Gela was taken In the first few hours after assault waves began coming ashore. No attempt was made to defend it.

Some soldiers broke out their own scanty rations cent of an expected record food supply to civilians in the next 12 months. It ,ay* civilian meat rations will stay at about present level,. Total food supply will be a, large and perhaps larger than 1942’s all time high. But food officials say civilians will get about lu percent les, food per person than last year or about as much as the average amount consumed from 1935- through 1939. Price administrator Brown says that the coffee situation has Improved but no date can he forecast for discontinuing coffee rationing.

f CHAPTER SIXTEEN Elisabeth Nelson, after dining with Irene and Matthew, decided that *he would like to take the office position. She wanted a brief vacation before undertaking her new duties, but during that time camo to the office at intervale for “training.” She teased Irene about it unmercifully. “I’m not really fussy,” Irene defended herself, “but Matthew is impatient if things don’t just click Bl *ni click for him," said Elisabeth, laughing, “from nine to five. After that he’ll have to click by himself. Banker's horn, that’s me. I’ve done twelve-hour duty too long ... and,” she added, “when I didn’t have to; I mean when eight-hour duty came into fashion, I didn’t like it. 1 aiwaj* wound up behind the eight ba11... in this case, the wrong eight hours.” Matthew liked Elizabeth and told Irene privately that she would prove efficient. “If she doesn’t go and get married right away," ho added gloomily. Sam's bride was a trifle dubious, after she had seen Elisabeth for the first time. Hilda was an intense little creature and she said, confidentially, “I don’t tee why you pick out a Monde!” “I’m one,” Irene reminded her; “don’t you like them?” “Men.” said Hilda, “are so susceptible. When I fell in love with Sam I actually dreaded seeing his office setup. I met him at a party you know and called him mister all eveniiife h&dn't Um remotest idos ho was an M.D.—someone muffed the introductions. Anywsy, when I did see the office end found that Sam and Bill shared one nurse and one secretary and that they were both a million years old, I was so relieved.” “Hilda, Kelcy to thirty-five and Hanson's about thirty-twol” “Old,” emphasised Hilda firmly. She was twenty-one. “Old and not » specially good-looking. I was tickled to death. But as for patients—" “What about them?" f “Don't you ever worry?” ? “Why should I?" asked Irene. Hilda shook her head. “I’m different.” she said gloomily. “I wish Sam had specialised in—in men.” “I don’t worry about Matthew," Irene told her. Hilda shook her dark head. She said, after a minute. “Just the same, he’s like any other man, he has an age for a pretty girt" “Os course he has," Irene agreed. “Did yen think I married a blind man?" She wm faintly amused but net particularly disturbed. Irene had trained in a big hospital. She knew all—er most of—the answers. She knew a good deal sheet doctors and ■arses and patients. Bet Matthew belonged to her. They wore marnod. They loved each ether. » Irene began to feel bettor as time worn along and she camo to the office now and then, ae often an she eould find an esraae to come, to help lEMnsbeth on specially busy days or [MLtojmjevsrjtheJsdephone and pa-

He toured the front in a command car—boldly di,regarding the danger of sniper,. Hoyle think, that American engineer* were the herons of the invasion. Twenty-four hours after they landed in Sicily they had completed a landing strip for fighter planes—building it ungier heavy enemy Mraflng attack* One of these engineers. Lieutenant Edwin Munroe of Talladega, Ala. told him: "We juat grabbed the flattest

tients while Elizabeth gave treatments. Elizabeth did not resent this; she was fond of Irene and enjoyed working for Matthew. But, she told her fiancd privately that Matthew was spoiled: First his mother and then Irene. “It’s a shame!" she declared. Her flanci was a struggling young lawyer with an invalid mother to support and a sister to see through college. His name was Peter Moffat and he looked, Elisabeth thought, a little like Gary Cooper. Peter grinned at her now across the table of the little cafd where they were dining. “What’s she like?” “Who? Oh, Matthew’s mother. Grand person, lovely to look at, you’d never drcam she had a son so old. I forgot you hadn't met her.” "Irene’s all right,” he commented, spearing some antipasto, “a little on the sober side, of course." “She’s one of the best. But I do wish she wouldn't wait on him hand and foot,” Elisabeth said. “His mother did too, still does. It’s a shame,” she repeated; “he's really a swell person, even if he is spoiled.*’ “Seo that you don’t spoil him too,” warned Peter sternly. “Darling, I have no time to spoil anyone but you.” “You don't do too good a Job,” be said glumly. “Shall we go to a movie?’’ There was so little comfort for lovers in New York. They couldn’t afford theaters and night clubs, but they could walk, and window shop, or ride on a bus. They couldn't go home to Peter’s and listen to his mother complain. She was very hostile to Elisabeth in the sweetest possible way. They did not dare go to Elizabeth’s. Now she said, looking away from him. “I’m thinking of moving, some of the girls want me to share an apartment with them. It—it would be a place to g 0...“ and she added quickly, “they’d be in and out what with dates and all.’’ He repeated quietly, “Well, Betty, how about a movie?" The weeks slipped past end Irene felt very weU. She was conscious of an enormous and patient pones, a sense of waiting and fulfillment. Matthew wm sweet to her. very careful of her always, but be was away a good deal. Seme of hie newest patients lived out of town aad he wm likely to bo called to Long Island or Westchester. He would come borne late and turn on afl the lights—he loved a blaze of light —and tell Irene all about things, wrenching at hie collar, flinging a shoe across the room, ehueking his eoat over a ehair. “It’s just that she never grew up,” he might My; “she had Mile as a baby, she still has it It’aamastng.
