Perhaps some amateur could make a hit by taking pictures of t|ie film workers strike at Hollywood. o—o fJJrow a Victory garden this year. It’s the solution to many of the food problems now confronting America and the worfd. —o Those who 'have faith in the groundhog’s prediction believe we have some more figar-winter weatli- <• er coming. —o You can still add your contribution to the Red Cross fund if you want to stand beeide the boys who are offering their lives.

, The early gardens being planted may get a little set-back if frcezuig weather comes but on the other land obey may get by and provide d&rly crops of vegetables. It’s the gamble. O—O »“Three inch steaks a thing of the past,” says a headline over a story that describes the meat shortage. Why make it any worse than it Is? Few people ever saw a steak three inches thick. We would settle for one-third that. ——o—o Now that the basketball state tampionship has been settled, the ys and girls in school will turn baseball and to activities lookg towards commencement exercises which come in about two months. —o The Dumbarton Uaks plan may not be every thing the world needs or wants but it looks like it may be that or nothing. Those who oppose it offer nothing in Us place. Surely we will not follow the pattern of twenty-six years ago and sit idly by while the world prepares to engage in war again.

O—o The Duke of Windsor, who resigned the throne of England to marry Wallle Simpson, an American lady, has resigned as governor of the Bahamas and will retire from public life. He and his wife plan to live in bis chateau in France where they were married in 1936. His has been the strangest of modern careers. O—O Every body wants peace for the world is tired and sick of war. Even Hitler and Tojo seem to have had enough. They realize the jig is up but they don’t seem to know how to quit. There ie of course just one way—-unconditional surrender—and plans that for many years at least will prevent a repetition of world wars one and two. O—O Theodore Graliker, Adams coun-

ty chairman, is again busy with plans for the seventh war bond campaign and assisted by many capable men and women, will make another successful record. Add bonds to your collection and hold them. They are very valuable and don’t let any one convince you otherwise. O—O Twenty German cities have been practically destroyed. Huge bombs weighing eleven tons are now being dropped by British planes. Each explosion can destroy eight square blocks. It’s terrible, but ite a part of war and the only way the enemy can be made to understand that attempting to rule the world is too big a job for any nation or two. O—O

The American flag flies over the island of Iwo Jima after twentysix days of the bloodiest fighting of the war. More than twenty thoueaud Japs have been killed and nearly half of the 40,000 American Marines who landed on the volcanic ash isle have been killed or wounded. It was a high price but it is one of the most important steps in the South Pacific struggle for it lies but 700 miles from Japan and its airfields will make access easier. o—o Bob Harris, an eighteen-year-old Fort Wayne lad who held up two Van Wert women, robbed them and stole their car, has confessed. He drew a sentence of imprisonment for from ten to twenty-five years and because he was under a suspended sentence for automobile stealing, was not entitled to leniency. What a that youngster is getting.

The world security conference at San Francisco will be open to the press if the leaders of this country have their way. There seems to be no reason for other action oince the war has reached a point that secrecy is no longer deemed necessary so far as plans for reconstruction of the world and prevention of future wars are concerned. So let's have the news. ——-o—O«— Latest survey of wheat prospects in Kansas, the state w-hicb produces the largest crop of this cereal, has resulted in a report which holds out the promise of another bumper crop in 1945. A bumper wheat crop in Kansas hovers about the 200,010,000-bu6hel mark. The survey just completed, covering the entire state, reveals that plantings were -unusually large. There was no winter damage. Topsoil and subsoil moisture have been plentiful, and under normal conditions sufficient to mature the grain with only occasional showers. The plant is sturdy and well rooted. As American troops continue to deepen and widen their bridgehead on the east side of the Rhine, and more and more troops and material cross -the river, the im-

pression grows that the Germane have already lost all chance of neutralzing this grave menace to their position. Anything they can do now will come too late. Only a major enemy counter-attack could menace the bridgehead. It is possible that Field Marshal Von Rundstedt’s plan for defending the Rhine, like his plan for countering the invasion of the continent, calls for maintaining a mobile reserve capable of handling such threats as soon as they materialize. But it so, the Nazis were caught napping, always a sign of disintegration. 0 — I Modern Etiquette I | 0y ROBERTA LEE | Q. Is it proper to have one’s full name marked on traveling luggage? A. The full name in sometimes used on hand luggage, but just the initials are preferred by most people on ail luggage. It is not an advantage to have one’s full name displayed so conepiculouely when traveling. Q. When should the butter be placed on the talble, before serving or after the guests are seated? A. Either custom is all right. Q. If a couple are entertaining a fenv guests for the evening, who should meet them at the door? IA. The husband should do this, bringing each guest into the living room. Success usualy lies just beyond the'point , where the ordinary man decides to give up and quit.

SYNOPSIS Daphne Willoughby Abruzzi, married when 17 and a widow at 25, is returning home after an absence of twelve years, eight of which were spent in Paris, London, and Naples. After her husband’s death, she worked four years for Corinne Hollis, a New York decorator. As the train is nearing North Wintridge, Daphne thinks of the many letters which she wrote to her friend, Kate Dennison. These had described her life with the romantic Carlo, her musician husband ... concert tours, villas, gay bohemian affairs . . . Daphne had certainly let her fancy soar in those letters. CHAPTER TWO Thinking of them, Daphne saw the other side of the counterfeit coin, and a shiver ran over her. Too well could she remember the shabby hotels; the third class trains, the filthy boat quarters; the gay Bohemians unwashed, living like animals... The smells, the squalor seemed to steal into the Pullman car. She heard again the wail of Carlo’s violin. She thought again of his whining, his rages, his dishonesty ... She had been dishonest, too, in writing those fanciful things to Kate, but she’d had to. Because she’d been Daphne Willoughby, the prettiest and most popular girl of her time at home. And she’d made herself a legendary figure when she ran away at seventeen to marry Carlo Abruzzi, whom she’d met but six days before when he gave a concert in the Town Hall. Now, at last, she was going to live life, a truly beautiful one. In the long mirror beside her chair was evidence that she’d got a fair start. Out of the corner of her eye, Daphne stole a slow, critical look at herself. It went from the tips of her alligator pumps to the crown of her small black hat. Gold gleamed at the tips of her ears, on the lapel of her black suit jacket, and at her wrists over her thick suede gloves. The gold was real. Everything she had bought was the best. There be no more imitations for her, no more make-believe. Her eyes dropped to the yellow orchids pinned to the collar of her topcoat. Alan Pembroke had bought them for her at the hotel where they lunched before he put her on the train. The orchids disturbed and pleased Daphne. It was really very sweet of him to buy them, even though it was sort of a professional gesture. It hadn’t been, she thought, that he just wanted to see her again after that first meeting in Corinne’s shop; he knew that she had talked about remodelling her house, and naturally, being a young and enterprising architect, he had hoped for the job. She’d not really led him on, but she could have said an architect's services were a luxury she couldn’t afford,

instead of accepting his lunch invitation. She tried to remember whether it was his or her idea that he run up to North Wintridge when she got settled. The porter began collecting luggage, and Daphne got coins out of her purse, and saw again Kate’s letter. She was tempted to read it once more, just as if she couldn’t remember every word of it. “Tommy and I’ll be at the station,” Kate wrote, “in lieu of the brass band you should have . . . More exciting than the visit Bette Davis paid us ... all the old crowd thrilled”...

J For one awful moment when she stepped from the train, Daphne , thought: Will I know Kate? Then there Kate Dennison was, brown, boyish and hearty as ever. ' Twelve years rolled away as they ■ were smearing lipstick on each I other’s cheeks, and Tommy Denni--1 son was giving her a crushing hug. ■ Kate and Tommy were saying, “You look not a day older! The 1 kids wanted to come and see you, ' but we had to put ’em to bed.” i All Daphne could manage was, I “I’m home!” She tried not to say : it dramatically, but it sounded like ! an antique .curtain line. ' Tommy took her luggage checks, : and she walked to the car with : Kate, her hungry eyes picking out i familiar sights: the long row of : , two-storied shops, the clock on the I Town Hall, the steeples of the three j l churches, the tiny tulip bed in the i exact cgpter of the small green, the , old band-stand.
