O—O Further evidence that the war is over is the abolishment of the use of badges for factory employes •and the use of armed guards. —u—v—The rains came a little late to do crops any good but they did help to fill the cisterns, much to the relief ami convenience of many. —o Prince Komoye says the Japs are not ready for an election and can't be instructed by January. He overlooks the fact that General MacArthur and his aides are fast workers. Just as the summer season was officially passing out of the picture Sunday morning about four o'clock the weather man turned on the beat to provide a day as warm as any for the year. ___o—O—The men are being dismissed from the service now. On last Friday alone the army discharged 119.999 soldier and sent them home to civil life. Al that rate most of the men will be out within a year. -0 The office girls and their bosses who work on the fortieth floor of a New York sky scraper think the elevator operators played them a meau trick when they went, on strike. It’s a long and tiresome grind up those long flights of stairs. —o — The crowd at the first air circus here proved the great interest now manifest in air flying The program was Interesting and was well conducted and needless to say many new students declared their intentions of taking lewuua in the art. -0 Plans are going along for the big celebration of Hallowe'en in Deca tur.

With the army buying only a bout half as much food as it did « few weeks ago and thia deman I lessening each week, it looks llk< Mr. Average Cllisch ought soon b* able to purchase ail the meat, ol t and sugar he needs or desires. —o t Jobs for all Is a flue program but ' It requires more than Just a legts latlve act to provide it in a sound tnapner Industry must continue J to expand and every one must .> reasonably pros|*erous if we are tu i recover from the war period. ; _o-o_ > Henry Kaiser will again head th" ’ organisation to gather clothlug I for the suffering people in liberal- • cd areas of Europe and the Pae 1 ' I ic. He did a marvelous Job last > spring and with the aid of the people will again provide the wearing apparel that will prevent millions of people from suffering aud dying from cold. —o There is no doubt that if foreign trade Is expanded and small business encouraged aud assisted, this nstion can employ sixty million people as Henry Wallace, secretary of commerce says, but the “if Is so big that it may take more than Ate five years suggested to bring it about. Any way It’s a splendid goal and it's culmination would solve most of our economic problems. —o In six states. North Carolina. North Dakota. Wisconsin. Illinois. California and lowa, regular courses to teach high school students to drive safely are given and other states are expected to follow soon. That might help In the now age that is predicted to be coming when every school boy will have a jalopy for his own use. I! they are going to drive them, they ought to know how. —o 1 The strike epidemic is spreading and mdy reach the point where the bosses decide to Join In. Some times It looks as though the nation will have to practically close down and start over. However there are some signs of management and labor getting together to iron out the differences so that progress can continue. And the public hopes that will soon be th.order of the times. The Detroit Tigers and the ■ Washington Senators of the Am- • erlcan League and the Chicago i Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals of i the Nationals continue between i showers to battle out the last wees i in the season, striving to win the f league pennants and get the opportunity to meet In the World Series which means several thour . and dollars for each team memtx”. t The big show will start next week J o—o- ‘ Let's Fiqht Fire: Fire Prevention Week.

Ten thousand deaths from fire, distributed over 48 stale, and tens of thousands of homes aud factor* les destroyed, do not make headlines like the bombing of u city, but the permanence of death and fire loss (or those involved, is Just as real.

B. conciliation service when the reflpery walkouts. Involving 35.000 workers, brought resumption of gasoline rationing in some arena, closed many filling stations and threatened to fuel-starve motor transportation. With the refinery dispute costing 1.10".9‘X* barrels of lo>t gasolino production daily, several cities suffered gasoline shortages. Only 17 Detroit filling stations were still open. Nine were designated to handle gasoline for eeoential use only. Detroit ’axlcab companies neared the end of fuel i eserves, and nearly half the city's cabs were garaged. Detroit and Pontiac. Mich., bus companies wore assured of continued flow of gasoline. Toledo, 0., and other cities continued vuiun teer rationing ot motor fuel. In Chicago, bulk -uppiiers said their reserves would be gon-.* this week. The government effort to end the gasoline strike spotlighted a wave of postwar reconversion labor troubles over the nation. Elevator operator and building service strikes involving 15,000 Workem, paralysed much of New York's business life. In Detroit, where strikes have crippled auto making, 82,000 were out. Home building suffered a setback in the northwest, with 60.0Q0 lumber workers strikebound. Twenty-nine thouMDd coal miner* left West Virginia and Pennsylvania pita. A* refinery operator* and labor forces lined up their arguments at the Chicago conference, the oil workers union called a halt to spread of walkouts in the industry until the conciliation beaiiona are completed. A charge that the OWIU out “to break the Sinclair company” came at the meeting from a spokesman for the Sinclair lleflning Co., bringing on outburst of counter claims. Daniel T. Pierce, assistant to the president ot Sinclair, told the three-man conciliation panel that O. A. Knight, OWIU president, "is directly responsible tor the score or more strikes now in effect.” Pierce charged that “we are informed by the spokesman of the local at our East Chicago, Ind., refinery that it was the purpose of the union to break the Sinclair company." He added, “it to not 1 our purpose to tie broken." But this was derided by Knight, who told reporters: "Instead of indicating any effort to break the company, the fact Is i

e 1 CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO , BROOKS WAS as good as his! I- word. When Terry and Angela hurried out, he was waiting in hto lefig, low car. Angela protested she must ride * her horse back, but Brooks said * quickly, "I sent a groom back with >«■ the horse." He pushed the trembling child into the front seat and helped Terry in after her. Terry leaned over to tuck Angela's coat tighter around her shivering form and saw a huge dark bruise on the child’s leg. - "How did you do this, Angela?" she cried. Angela admitted shamefacedly that the horse had thrown her as she started up through the grounds. "Small wonder," said Brooks. "You hadn't taken time to saddle I him. Why didn’t your father | come?" Angela's lips began to tremble. "He—was at the store," she murmured in a frightened monotone. Over her head, Brooks' glance met Terry’s Significant!,. There was brooding fear in the child’s tone. Here again they were facing this strange, inscrutable peon trouble! "Win the doctor be able to find their house?” asked Terry, knowing it was of no use to press the child on tbs other problem. "Yes," Brooks said. "He delivered Pedro two years ago and took care of his mother before and after.” Angela's trembling was lessening gradually. "He will cure Pedro! That doctor he is good. He will cure Pedro!" Her tow voice was an en- » trc «’y“Os course he wtH,” promised Terry, putting her hand comfortingly over Angela’s, "He’ll do everything he can.” They could hear Pedro’s wall even as they left the car and ran up to the small house. Hto mother was in a tow chair soothing him with a crooning song and rocking her body to and fro with him in the dim, lamp-lighted room. Brook* took the child and laid him on the bed. He murmured reassurance as he ran practiced, gentle hands over the small limbo. He smiled at Pedro's mother, asked for a glass of water, and as she hurried out to get it, reported to • low tone to anxious Terry beside him.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur already has ordered it divorced from government control and favoritism. HaiJl Hasegawa, editor in chief ot Domel, announced that Its preside fit. Inosuke Koruna, had decided to propose his own resignation and those of other executive directors at the next meeting of Itomcl's board later thia week. Furuno also will propose dissolution of Domel. effective as soon as a free news agency being formed by Tokyo's three main newspapers, Mafnlchi, Asahi and Yomlurl. has begun operating. ■—o— — - NAVY SPEEDING UP (ContlniMd From rage Om) points required for discharge would be lowered from time to time.

( “There is only so much stew iu , the pot,” he declared, "and until | you put more In the pot you cannot let more people go under one factor without reducing the num- | her who can go under one of the , others." t Any enlisted navy man with i three or more children under 18 > to now eligible for immediate discharge.

I from the dazed way ho cries " "He shouldn’t go to sleep then,” Terry murmured in sudden alarm as she saw the child's eyelids drooping heavily. "That's right," Brooks agreed. “I'm giving him a pain pill, then it's up to us to keep him awake till the doctor gets here." "He'll come soon, won't he?" Terry asked "I hope so. He was out on a call. Hto wife is trying to get him.” Terry sat on the bed and held Pedro's cherubic dark head while she urged him into swallowing the pili. That accomplished, the child beamed dimly at her and dosed. Terry shook him, called hto name, and began to talk to him. When Angela and her mother looked puzzled. Brooks explained the doctor would want the baby awake. "Just slap him," sighed the mother. ’’That will make turn stay maybe." Suddenly Angela burst into loud weeping. “The aaada!” she wailed. "Pedro will not be able to go to the aaada now. Pedro has neve been to aesda?” "Hush!” Terry cried. She tried to make her voice sound gay. but her heart was heavy. It was very possible that Pedro would never see an aaada If he went to sleep now. 'TH tell you what!” she added on sudden impulse. “We’ll have an asada right now!” Angela's tears stopped in sheer surprise. "How?” she demanded. "How?” Brooks sccflfed heartily. “Why. you’ll dance, of course. Angela! The dance you are going to do at the aaada tomorrow night. And rn sing!" Angela clapped her hands. "And the senorita will tell a story of Norte America!” ’ "Os course 1 will!" Terry cried. She gave Pedro e hard pat that jolted open his heavy eyelids. "Did you hear. Pedro? Aaada!” "Aaada . . .” crooned Pedro. One i small dimpled hand got a firm : clutch on Terry thumb. He smiled i at her. The pain pill was beginning to work. He felt better—and even ! Sleepier. ■••■>. < < ■ But he couldn’t sleep—not while Angela's small figure whirled bei fore hto eyes, and Terry kept re’j posting urgently, "Watch Angola!
