If you are not properly registered now. see that you are by Monday night. —o The strikes In Detroit this week were a shock to the public generally When millions of men are offering their lives and many losing them that we may preserve our country, there Is surely no good reason for 50,900 men to quit work in the plants that are producing the materiels that the men on the front lines must have to win the war as soon as possible. Controversies of this kind should I* se'tled without loss of time during days like these.

Two more casualties were reported here Thursday as the result of the war in France. Pfc. Carl Ichamerloh was killed September 9th and Corporal Dick Kiting was seriously injured September 15th. The former was with the American forces in southern France and the latter was with the invasion forces from England. The young men are well known here and the news brought sadness to many. We extend sincerest sympathies to the sorrowing relatives. —o Goebels tells the people of Germany to stand fast and they will win. He cites Russia and England as cases where they came back after apparently being whipped. He forgets that the set-up was different, that in both those cases they had outside strength if time permitted It to reach them and it did. In Germany's predicament they have no place to look for aid. Tbelr stock of materiels is constantly dwindling and than power is running out. Millions of lives would be saved If ‘be resistance now being offered along the Rhine was suspended in the face of what seems sure to result.

1 CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO | • RUSSELL continued to keep < busy now that Dan and Anne had ' returned to Talbot, and he considered himself lucky. Cases came up and he continued winning them. In the late afternoon he enjoyed the lovely ten-mlle drive back to Talbot, where Dan and dinner would be waiting for him. There was no Mrs. Gander now. When he had a job of sorts Dan got Maggie, a good old colored woman, to clean up and cook. After dinner Russell read or went to sec Laura. Strangely enough, he preferred the reading evenings to seeing Irnura now. She no longer attracted him aa she had once, and with the coming of summer she was busier also. He preferred going to see Mrs. Reynolds on evenings when Laura wasn't there or busy. Then Anne was home and he could talk to her. He wouldn't acknowl*

edge he went to see Anne, but he did know he enjoyed himself more when Anne was with the old lady and not Laura. When Laura was home Anne went out walking. Sitting with Laura, to whom he was engaged, he would be silent because he was thinking of Anne. He wondered where she wandered to in Talbot, which was such a small place, especially at night. He didn't talk about Anne to Laura or about Dan. He was still angry that she should have told him to send Dan away. He would have told her so If she had given him a chance by opening the subject, but she never did. Aa to Anne, she said, in answer to his question that she was glad the .girt was back because she was so busy and her mother would have been neglected. Mrs. Reynolds wm more outspoken, "I'm glad Anne's hack because I like her." she said. “1 was lonesome .when she was away and worried ■every day I'd get a tetter saying she wasn't coming back.” Ut Laura's smile was superior. "You don't suppose she's fool enpugh tc give up a soft job like thte." v.**l wish I were as sure about \ing* as you are," her mother re ttortad u/yiy-ft-thusaell felt she looked Mralghl as eha sate it, but he star*

! Household Scrapbook I By ROBCRTA LEE • » Kitchen Utensil A nut cracker is a very convenient kitchen utensil It makes an excellent wrench for cans and bottles with screw tops. It also fits most nuts ou the washer, sewing machine, meat grander, and other household uppliances. Patterns When cutting a pattern from n borrowed pattern try using old cloth instead of paper. It will not lesr like paper and will cling to the goods without pinning. Parsely If parsely is kept in a mason jar, with a tight lid. and in a cool place. It will keep fresh for a long time. Sewing Hint Instead of basting the sleeves into a garment, overcast them and they can be tno.e easily stitched In by the machine.

[warm. f* He re- 1 spccted .'.... - j nurul as he . did no one c t .n lalbot He was 1 afraid she nugr.t com? out bluntly i some time and ask him if it really i wasn't Anne he was interested in i and not Laura. He didn't want to i be asked that question because he ; knew he couldn't answer It honestly. He would be forced to say, "You have forgotten I'm engaged to Laura.” and he didn't want to say that. He was quite sure no one in Talbot had forgotten, least of all himself. He felt he had an ogligation and it was wrong of him to come to sec Anne at all under the circumstances. He was also troubled by some change in Anne since her return. He wasn't sure just what it was. but he felt it aa they talked about books and flowers ..nd equally Im-J personal subjects while the old lady dozed comfortably In Jier chair, rousing herself now and then to

make some dry, amusing remark , The comments Always were to the I point, so one wondered how sound the dose had been. It made him I feel he wanted to be alone with i Anne and have a serious talk with her. He knew just how he would I begin, by telling her he was a lawyer and he was sure she had something on her mind. Could she tell him an<> let him help her if poa1 slble? After all, lawyers did help I people, on occasion, out of court aa I well as in it. They could help a per- ' son think. They had trained minds. 1 The only trouble was he couldn't ’ so much as ask her to go to Weston . to the movies with him on one of her nights off. He couldn’t very > well say to Laura, 1 won't see you r tonight because I’m taking Anne out." litlll leas could he try to do it • secretly. Talbot and Weston had no secrets. Talbot had Mias WithI era and Weston was larger but e similar. Even if Laura didn't say <1 anything, she would be hurt, and I be didn't want to hurt her. He would have felt better if he had u wanted to. That would have shown o she was still important to him And he knew she wasn't. There had it been that one moment when he i* wanted to catch her in his arms and shower her face with kierne—it but aha had spoiled everything by d waaLag to drive Anns away. IS Bo Anne was mined up in Chings.

Modern Etiquette I I By ROBERTA LEE • • Q. If a girl has been corresponding with a number of young men, and becomes engaged to be married. should she stop the correspondence* A. Yes; the girl should stop thia correspondence immediately upon announcement of the engagement Q. Would It tie all right for a man to give a woman an article of wearing apparel, as a gift? A. Not unless the womm is his mother, sister, or a very close relative. <J. What does macedoine mean when It appear* on a menu? A. A mixture of several kinds of vegetables or fruits. Total number of milk cows In the U. 8. In 1943 is estimated at 26443,• 000. compared with 24,926,000 in 1940 and 23,032.000 in 1930.

Everything seemed to center about Anne. He felt it one night when Mrs. Reynolds wasn't feeling well and Laura sent him away so she could take care of her mother. He asked if he should look for Anne, and Laura snapped, “Go ahead if you want to, but 1 don't need her. I can take care of my mother. It's nothing but a little indigestion be* cause she stuffed at dinner.” Russell strolled down to Johnson's store to have a soda as an excuse to see if Anne was there. He had enjoyed finding Anne and Dan there the evening they had quieted gossip. He wanted to ask if Anne had been in, but that wouldn't da He was annoyed at Laura's suggestion to go find her if he wanted to. It seemed to add I another brick to the wall which ! was ouildlng up between them, and he wasn't sure he wanted that wall. His mind was so clear on legal matters, but he was muddled over

Anne and Laura and Dan. He knew he was. Mrs. Jphnson beamed at him as he drank his soda. The store was full of people, mostly men, as it was one of the few Talbot gathering places She said: "Where is Dan? He doesn't come In much." He laughed. "Who can keep up with Dan? You know how he is." A man leaned against the counter and grinned. “He sure Is interested in that nurse of ,4rs Reynolds'. I don't blame him. Lucky he didn't drown her." It was irritating. Russell paid for his drink and left. He decided to go home and read. Dan might be home and would make him laugh by telling him atories about the west. He felt he granted to think of something, anything aa far away from Talbot and himself as possible. As he turned, the corner toward hie house ' * could sea the living room I was lighted up, though the shades ■ were pulled down. It made him I smile. Dan had changed tn that, at i least, since his return. Before, he'd always said anyone could look in I who wanted to. because he wasn't > doing anything that concerned anyi body else. The radio was playing . too. Russell chuckled as he enterec IT the ruletly and than ftunj open Um living room door. i, (To Be CoaUaaad) • • • *aw« • • *r t» • we as«• j
