President Truman’s address to the United States senate was sincere and was a strong appeal to that body for speedy ratification At ites conclusion the members A arose to their feet and cheered so if unanimously that there can be little doubt as to the outcome of the action on the Work! Charier. Il s a step in the right direction peril manent world peace. —o The many friends of F. 11. Froe--0 lick, consulting engineer of Toledo. Ohio, are sincerely saddened by the ® news of bis sudden death from a (1 r heart ailment. He had visited this 5 city only a few days previous to e get data to complete h is survey of 0 the requirements for the local util--0 ity plant. Mr.Froellck was recognized as one of the outstanding 1 r utility engineers of the country. —o Friends of the late Ernie Pyle, famous newspaperman who was killed by Jap snipers on Shima Island, have launched a movement to return the body to Indianapolis for interment in the Indiana War s Memorial crypt. They are old e neighbors and war veterans who - knew him when he stood beside ) them in the front lines of battle. The removal cannot take place until the war is over and Mrs. Pyle, widow of the late beloved writer, will make final decision. O—O 1 Dr. Harley Lutz, professor of fii nance at Princeton University, proposes as a policy for the postwar period: moderate budget financed < on a cash basis; taxation at a level * sufficient to cover the budget and provide some debt retirement; re- c peal of legislation that permits de- ] valuation of the dollar; a green light to private enterprise and def- r inite assurance that money will not r be wasted. Others who have stud- $ ied the subject are making recommendations and congress will have \ plenty to work on in formulating a £ definite plan. We will move rap- ] ■ idly when the war with Japan is jover. O—O r Congressman GiUie isn’t much 1 lor jokes, but here's one from his ( latest news column: Have you f heard about the lady in the Fourth I District who entered the butcher a shop during these days of a New Deal for meat eaters? She was * pleasantly surprised, as the butcher’s meat case was filled with J chops, steaks and roasts. After purchasing everything in sight, the lady said to the butcher, “Will you please deliver these to my home?” ■ The butcher answered, “I can’t.” She asked him why not, remark- ' ing she had seen his delivery wa- , gon out front. He replied, “Lady, i ’ you've just bought the horse!” O—o As the war draws toward its fi- ' nat stage, clear thinking is essen- " tial if the things we have fought ! for or against, are not lost in I the shuffle. The most important development since V-E Day is the announced policy of the War Production Board, as presented in the report of Chairman Krug. It sets forth the principles that will govern - the decisions of the WPB during ' the reconversion period, and stands : out as a document of history-mak-1 ‘ ing importance. “As the cutbacks increase,” says Mr. Krug, “some I I areas are bound to experience un11 1 employment, . . In many areas. ’* time will solve such dislocations — as peacetime industries start up » and hire workers; but in some I areas, special measures taken to maintain employment would merely postpone the eventual day of reckoning—as for instance a war boom town which is greatly expanded because of a particular war plant with little or no postwar future. We , must prepare to meet such emergencies when they are real; but we must also be prepared ! to resist the pressure when they would only delay necessary readjustments.”

Save You Money! How would you like to be the only buyer of the automobile you like? Well, you might be. if it were not for advertising. And your car might cost you $40,000 instead of SI,OOO. The maker of your car uses advertising to drum up a lot of buyers, which enables him to go into large scale production and reduce his selling price. Robert M. Bowes, maker of tire repair supplies, sparkplugs, etc., backed racing cars as a hobby. One day a driver brought in a bill for $842 for a new crankshaft. Mr. Bowes told him he had just bought a whole new car for $890! If you want just one crankshaft it could cost $842. But advertising and large-scale manufacture give you a WHOLE CAR for about the same money. o Twenty Years Aao Today July 6—Adam Weis was fatally injured when his auto collided with an interurban car on North Second street.

— I I I Ml t—A BEAD THIS FIRST: Everyone thought Agatha Brown was an old maid, but she had been secretly married for 25 years to Prof. Otto Halder of Western college. She had left him in World War I because she learned he was a traitor. The girl she called ner niece. Clemantine, was really tpeir daughter. Not even Clemanttne knew it. Everyone who had known it was dead—except Professor Halder himself. Now, in World War H. Agatha discovers the professor is again going to sell one of his inventions, to the enemy. Deep in her heart she still loves him. Tbe professor is found dead and CleK'SMTf&lf (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORE) CHAPTER TEN “SUSPICION is a terrible thing,” said Agatha. "You have to cut it oft before it starts, or it will grow.’’ “But why would anyone even think of me?” “When a jealous girl is involved . . “You mean, you think Miss Blossom would put the police after roe just because the professor was taking such a—a fatherly interest in me ?.’’ “After all, if he was working on such a valuable invention for the government, anyone who spent an upusual amount of time with him might be suspected of being a spy. Oh, Clemantine, why did you ever go near, him ? I told you not to taka up science.” Clemantine studied her there in the shaded light of the bedroom, and Agatha stared back into the lyown eyes of her daughter, at the trembling lips that were top, red. Clemantine observed slowly, “Xou gave no, reason. And now, it seems that perhaps you foresaw something like this. Did you? How did you happen to come to visit me at this strange hour of the night—the. very night he was kilted?** "Clementine, would you actually suwect—ma?” “Os course not, but the police may. Do you have a good alibi —an explanation for arriving at this time of night?" “Yes. I wag on the train when Professor Halder was killed." “Now dp you know whence was killed? Did you hear about it before you came here? “Why ,I—that is— ■ obvious he must have been killed some time ago, and I ; just got off the train.

A short time ago I started to write to you.” “Then if Miss Blossom tries|4o involve you, how will you trygto clear yourself?” Clemantine jumped up, wringing her hands. “Oh, auntie!
