error when they figured that a dem ocracy could not hold together in a war effort of the dimensions they bad so carefully planned It was another great victory for America. -0 The National league team took the honors in the annual AUSlar classic at Pittsburgh, winning over the American league. 7 to 1. and outplaying them in every way. They played errorless ball and outhit and out-scored their adversaries. Nicbolaon and Cavarretta of the lowly Cubs were stars of the winners. It was only the fourth National win in the twelve seasons of play. Albert Rumsctilag will serve as commander of Adams post 43. American Melon. He and his assistanta recently elected will be installed August 25th and will continue the progressive growth of this splendid organisation. Plans for postwar improvement* are being made and the new officials will no doubt see them started. Good luck and congratulations Commander Rumschlag and all other post of flciala.

Hitler held a war conference with his military leaders yesterday. It indicates the seriousness of their situation. If they want lo save their country they may decide to fold up quickly. If they intend to fight to a finish it will be worse the longer they continue. The Allied forces are advancing from every direction and German planes are apparently out of the air for two thousand Allied shi|» roam at will over France and Germany except for anti-aircraft fire. Unconditional surrender is hard to take. Most any thing else would probably be quickly accepted. We are at the serious point of the European war. License Perjury: The prison sentence imposed oil a Hoosier for perjury in applying for a driver's license Is important as being the first conviction of its kind in the stale. The warning should not be lost on others who may be reckless with the truth In filing their applications. The man's license was suspended for several months last year on the charge of driving a motor vehicle which under the influence of liquor. Evidence showed that the applies tion for a 1944 card stated the in-

divldusl's llcenae never had been

revoked. Officials held that this constituted perjury. The arrest and prosecution were made possible by a new system devised by the state department's safety division where police are able to keep s closer check on driving license MUspenrlons Too many motorists may view lightly the detail of ignoring facts In filling various items of the application card Flouting truth Is not necessary in seeking a driving licenses. as former derelictions of certain types dn not bar Issuance of a new card. When a deliberate lie is told therefore, the state is justified in prosecuting the offender. The law becomes nothing but a perfunctory gesture and a foe-col lecting detail if an applicant's statements are not binding and no check is made by state authorities. The license attains the desired value when necessary "teeth" permit strict enforcement of the law. —Auburn Evening Star. ——-o Q.

BETH KINNAN, scrious-mlfidcd and trusting, and ANDREA BARNES, rather self-cen-tered and selfish, find tliat ths tenseness accompanying America’s impending entrance Into the war is beginning to effect their fives. For three years Beth has been going with JIM RONALD, who mill has not base too successful tn getting ahead la the world. while Andrea baa been attracted by DENNIS ARCHER, 15 years her senior, b»it wealthy and interesting — and maarnarrtoi , . . YESTERDAY: Beth again meets Vernon Klnke. the young we-ternrr she had met before on ths train to Washington. “ w f CHAPTER FOURTEEN •’ VERNON BLAKE'S friendly face was aa welcome aa a light in unpleaaant darkness and, even if Beth was instinctively contrasting It with Jim Ronald's handsome features, she said again, "Oh. it’s so good to aee someone 1 know.” “I guess big towns are lonesomer than little ones, but I thought by now you'd have go many dates you'd hardly remember me." “I'm a fast worker, my friend, but not that fast,” Beth said with a broad smile. “In fact, I must admit to no progress. What have you been doing all week ?” They had begun to walk along the tree-lined avenue, falling into step naturally, aa if they’d walked miles together before. Tn my spare time? Looking for you.” Beth waa touched. "Were you?” she asked simply. “I remembered your friend's name was Golden, There are lota of Goldens in Washington, and I tracked ’em all down I-ast night I caught up with the right ones and they told me where you could be found." "All that trouble just to find me, Vernon." "I wanted to know you aa soon as I met you on the train. I've a hunch ymi and I talk the same language. I like you, Beth.” His simple approach which was obviously sincere shouldn’t have embarrassed her. but it did. Beth hadn't ever had any beaux. She'd only known Jim, and Jim had been spare with his compliments. Vernon Blake's compliment made her feel more attractive than she could ever remember anything had. She said, "We’ll start talking then, Vernon. Let s get to know each other." He asked her where she would Nke to go, naming places where there would be music. Beth said tt would ba nice to just walk and talk. Thnt night they walked in <me of the many parks and talked and got an Ice cream soda and It was midnight before they realised IL He took her home then and left her at the door. They made a date to go out to hear an outdoor concert on the hanks of the Potomac oa Ute aavt night. Bunday they want sight-sMtas together, sharing a . quite un-

ashamed emotion over their first sight of the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument and the White House. The wonders of the National Museum and Mount Vernon were two special occasions, ; Sunday dates that took them into ’ September, by which time Beth , forgot that she had been lonely in i Washington, and waa grateful to Vernon Blake. This feeling of gratitude was mixed up with liking, with a pleased sense of companionship, and Beth would have enjoyed it to • its fullest if she had not, womanlike, been aware that she was beginning to fill the proportions of a dream girl in Vernon's thinking. At first she thought that he, like herself, was just lonely, but, after , the first two weeks when they were seeing Washington together, he said to her one night, ‘Tve got an 1 invitation for you. Bert and Marion ' have heard so much about you they want my to bring you out to the house for dinner Bunday.” •Marion?” Heth asked. i "My brother’s wife. She’s a Washington girl, born here. You’ll like her, and I know darned well i she'll like you." "Oh, Vernon, then you could i have known lots of girls in Washington!'’ "Not like you,” he said. , Another gold star went up beI side Vernon's name in her memory. It was a pleasant feeling that a boy like Vemon would prefer her to all the girls he must have met. Beth was beginning to think Mie waa a very lucky girt. One n’ght, after she’d written Andrea a glowi ing letter, telling her about how ' much she liked her new job and I Washington, she began to think of i her luck, stringing each contribu I tlon on a mental thread. i First there had been the fortuitous, if sad, circumstance of the judge’s death. Then there was the little legacy of the money she had | tucked away Into a savings account. Three hundred dollars was no great fortune unless one considered It in the light of that nestegg that so few working girls can 1 count upon against a day of need. • To Beth. It was a large fortune Indeed, although her salary was >33 1 a week. 1 Then there was the meeting with ' Dennis Archer. She thought of Mm often, and each time with increas--1 ing understanding. Once she had blamed him for his relationship ■ with Andrea, but now she had come to understand lonoiin. su. and she Mt that Dennis might have been lonely, having a wife who • cared so little fur him that she preferred a life away from him. She 1 could understand why Andraa’a young loveliness must have ba- ■ come poignant to him. She could 1 understand all too well how wln- ’ noma and eharming Andrea could he. Anyone would be drawn to Ant drea with her warmth, her gaiety. I After that, Beth thought of Ver- • non and how he had changed every- : thing for her by just being there By ail the mas things they del tm r ntoar And hrtnsm. as. e» u. • brethan bmisa, where aha had
