Worry about rain ruining the living room rug or curtains can be eliminated by an electrical device, scheduled for early production, which opens and closes windows thermostatically, Thus, If the night it is hot and there are threatening clouds, it will be safe to leave the t house. If the storm strikes, the ac- ’. companying drop in temperature 1 will cause the windows to close. I According to Col. Meisinger ’f the Nazi embassy at Tokyo, his i country had no advance knowledge 1 of the attack on Pearl Harbor, lie says he knew that Japan was going I i into the war but had no knowledge in advance whether they would join the Axis or the Allies. Others connected with the German embassy in Tokyo says they didn’t even trust Meisinger themselves. Evidently the old machiu didn’t run very smoothly. -0 Dangerous Jaloppies "Pull over to the right.” This familiar order is going to be heard I oftener front now on. At least 35 states have passed laws this year stiffening the driving laws. This is appreciated by careful drivers suffering from the carelessness of others who have later proved financially irresponsible. Nebraska requires the motorist causing moie than SSO damage to pay within 60 days or lose his license. To get it back, when once lost, he must show an insurance policy or give bond. Georgia and Minnesota have passed law= on the same order.

With gasoline unrationed and the 35-niile limit lifted, there will be more and more accidents, especially as a lot of creaking jaloppies will be oti the road, which would make life safer by being scrapped. Too often their owners, whe questioned by drivers whose cars they have injured, say airily. "Oli, I'm not insured. I m sorry, but it's your hard luck." These gentry would make a loud outcry if forbidden to drive, but we may have to come to that. —Van Wert Times-Bulletin —o Not Really Jobless. The official statement that two million men and women are now out of work in America has caused some alarm. But we need not assume that these workers have been thrown into the streets and are begging for bread. If they are looking for jobs, they won’t have to look long. There are plenty to be had. so far. No, most of Hie 2,000,000 who quit bench or assembly lute should noi hr m bad straits at all. Reports from California and the northwest.

SYNOPSIS ; e TERRY ARNOLD, a young Vermont - ] newspaperwoman, has written a fair-1 . ly succvssful novel. To gather mate- i s rial for a second book she has gone i c to the Argentine, her subject matter c to be the wealthy playboy set of that " Latin-American country. t Other characters are: J BROOKS KIMBERLY, owner of Ultimo , Ventura, a race horse; CORINNE ARTIGAS, Kimberly's flan- e cee. and RAFF CORDOBA, architect and friend t of Kimberly. YESTERDAY: Terry witnesses a disagreement between Brooks Kimberly j and Corinne and sees Brooks—and his , China bull—win out. CHAPTER TWELVE , TERRY LAY sunning herself t languidly on the colored tile beside ) the pool. 1 The baroness was playing.cards j with Raff, reaching over to slap his t hand whenever he attempted to ’ quit. “Do you see that beautiful crea- i ture by the pool?" he complained. , “I want to make, as they say in her ; wonderful country, a flirtation." “Play your ace and be quiet," ordered the baroness. "Men’become ■ more boring each season.” Jime, immaculate in black linen, ; her white hair glistening in the warm afternoon sun, embroidered with vigorous speed. She smiled at the baroness now. “I think Jules Artigas misses you, Roxie. He said when he called this morning you could come back to Buenos Aires 1 and annoy him whenever you felt ■ inclined.” “That won't be before the election,” the baroness snorted. “My stars, how long is it yet?” “A month.” “I’ll die," mourned the baroness. "I’ll perish of boredom in this lonely hole.” Terry laughed lazily. “I died a i week ago. This is heaven." She j rolled over and sunned her back. It i was almost ten days ago she came, | she marveled. Never had days been so full of pleasure, so relaxing, so entirely complete. Jime was saying, "You are a satisfying guest, Terry.” Terrj- answered, "You're a more than satisfying hostess, Jime.” “Oh bosh!” said the baroness. Terry and Jime exchanged a ■ friendly smile. Never, Terry mar-' veled to herself, had she liked anyone more than this whole-hearted, frank Argentine matron. She had expected to be Interviewed on her family, her background, her right to accept an invitation to the exclusive House of Kimberly. But Jime had made no personal inquiries when mentioning her own l visits to New York. She had liked ■ the country, she said with enthusiasm. Everybody was busy, some of them looked quite mischievous, but Hl! of them looked happy. , Terry soon realized’ it was dime’s ! energetic spirit that dominated the

estancia. She understood Brooks’ ■ \ love for the place now, and his [ 1 sense of responsibility. Jime knew \ of every repair and change neces- t sary in the vast mansion and sta- ’■ bles, every problem in the lives of f her many servants, and the condi- j tion of every gaucho family oh the estancia. s Jime was pleased with Terry's j big sister attitude toward her de- i voted maid, Angela, and when < Terry spoke of Angela's brother, ' she took her along one morning on j her horseback ride around to the t houses cf the gaucho families. < Terry was more than gratified at ( this chance to see the relation be- t tween mistress and gauchos. She j herself prattled on and on with < her college Spanish to the peon ; families, amusing both herself and < the peons. And Jime was superb. There was only one other woman, t Terry thought, who could have ] taken the same vital interest in t every detail of their welfare. Eleanor. I Every day or so, between swim- j ming, tennis, golf, pelota and t watching Raff and Erooks practice polo with Sandy and the grooms and occasional guests, she rode i back to sec Angela's small brother, : Pedro, a cherub of a child. S'ne was i living the life of a princess, settling I dotvn to gay, informal rounds of sports and relaxation of an estan- : cia summer with a sense of fitting into it that astonished herself. Her writing, done secretly each night, strangely seemed the unreal activity! She had been there 12 nights on the evening she went with Brooks, Corinne and Raff for a drive. It was not the first time the four of them had taken one of the estancia cars for a fast drive along the endless, moonlit ribbons of road. Tonight they were peacefully content to listen to a rhumba band over the radio and watch the moon rise toward the southern cross through the strange lovely blue of a pampas night. Brooks and Corinne had long ago made up their quarrel the night of China’s illness. In fact, the next morning they had come up from the stables together to report to Senor Artigas and the politicians, , who were returning to Buenos ■ Aires, that China was out of danger. And Terry had been charmed when, later that same day, they ' had come to her begging her for- . giveness for their boorish behavior • before her, a guest. Forgive them! Terry could have kissed them! They • were her hero and heroine, if they i only knew it. She wouldn’t have I missed that show of fire and ambi-1 • tion in the slumberous dark beauty | ’ of Corinne for anything. Now if t they would only show her romance. This was more difficult. For a bes i trothed pair, their conduct was ex- ! i emplary. Though Brooks was al-
