There Isn't anything as refresh Ing aa an April shower and sunshine. o—o Utile Finland had about as much chance in deciding the peace pact with Russia as Coatesville did In routing the tornado. Finland took it on the chin —— o o The Chain O'latkes project in Noble and three adjoining counties seems assured with the voting of Noble county's share of the land purchase cost. A 2.725-acre tract south of Albion will be developed into a’ stats’ parking and fishing resort and Northern Indianans hope that the new lake will be ready for boats next y<g»r. Great Britain voted to reduce its income taxes by four hundred million dollars, which seems small compared to the cut made over here, but at the same time boosted taxes on cigarettes, beer and gambling. A capital tax was also levied on the landed gentry, which Is proof that the government is undergoing a lot of change under Revin. Sir Stafford Cripps warn ed bis countrymen that the "austerity" program would continue. Q O In the discussion of the parking meter subject, it is noted that the city of Sturgis. Mic higan, collected 8275 in one week from 130 meters placed in the up-town district. There is no question that the meters are revenue earners for a city, but whether they lessen the parking problem Is another question. All day parking at meter rates would be a detriment and should not be permitted, on the theory that the streets belong to the people and that everybody should have an equal chance to use them. At Sturgis, one-half of the fees collected are remitted to the meter equipment company until the devices are paid for by the city. i Governor Dewey’s poor showing in the Wisconsin presidential primary may change the political picture for the New York governor.

sen climbs to the top. while the popularity of Gettfral MacArthur aa a presidential hopeful, dldn t get the boost that his ftianagers expected. Stassen has been waging a progressive fight for a Republican and tinless the McCormick and Taft forces can control the delegates, the former Minnesota governor will be one of the leading contenders in the GOP convention in Philadelphia in June. The only advantage that Dewey now holds, is the New York delegation . of 90 votes. o o The Pennsylvania Turnpike is one of the best highways in the country and evidently the author!1 ties contemplate keeping it that 1 way. Truck loads have been limit--1 ed to 45.000 pounds, including the truck, to which the drivers object. Even though the Turnpike is built for trucks, it probably won't stand j I up under the terrific loads which some of the transportation lines | wish to operate Mlles aiid miles 1 1 of Indiana highways have been ruined l»ecause of the overload’s! 1 trucks, which crumble the cement 1 and break down the road bed.

But * they do so by orderly methods. ? through their elected officials and • representatives.

Such action Is a usurp pation of the function of govern ! rnent. The longshoremen do not intend r it no. Their purpose ia high.

"Her name’ scares ytu." He nodded. *T know. But she's just a girt, another girt. But she gets her name in the papers, ottener. Publicity Is like peanuts. You Can't stop eating them once you start, you know." “She’s never bum married?" Now I'm asking a lot of questions, she thought Mike restel his shaggy brown heed against the expensive upholstery, grinned at her again and said. “There are two i nds of men for Tracy, the ones who are too proud to touch her dough and the ones who want to marry her for it The first kind won't marry her and the second she’s imart about. That’s why she’s never been married. And is she smart Don’t think she's just a dumb rich girt. And don’t be scared. When the last secretary lugubriously reminded Tracy that what she waa spending on a party wou.d feed so many refugees, Tracy fired her. She said that a good secretary would know how much she gave to charity. You waten your step and mind your business and you're set for iife. There's only one thing the matter as 1 see it , . "What is that?" "You’re too good looking. You look as fresh as the proverbial daisy. Nothing you. can do about that, 1 suppose ... no shadows beneath the eyes, no dropping chin • • •* Kit smiled. "Tm afraid mA." Mike smiled again. He smiled easily, boyishly. "Why don’t you ask me who I am? Haven't you any curiosity ? I’m the rags-to-richm theme alum boy who graduated from selling newspapers to writing in them. Os "course I'm ' still at the rags stage but I get 1 close to riches wbeu I go up here ■ to see Tracy." -Have you known her long?" 1 "Sines I went for an interview and stayed for dinner aficut five years aga She says she likes mo because I never ted the truth but at least Tm honest about it" He looked at her a moment before he said quite earnestly, "You think I'm a otnart-aiec, don’t you? P»r- --‘ hape I am. Buteunderneath I m a tender-hearted guy. Wait and see. ' You’re a good kid." 1 "You know that on such short acquaintance?" He laughed. "You’re not only a : good kid— you're delightful!" Then 1 he said earnestly and frowning, -It's quite a lay-out you're going i ta but Tracy lives pretty infori malty.” He spoke slowly as be i glanced out the window. -Tracy is . surrounded by parasites who were ’ born only to be ladies and gentlemen and who now can’t afford to . be anything but parasites.

depend on. They're the sad remnants of the days when great fortunes were made. They’re people living under glam. They go up to Tracy's in gweli clothes that aren’t paid for—mainly for their meals. Maybe you aren't interested but they're the onia who will put you in your place if you overstep the bounds. They think Tracy is slumming when they see her with me." “1 don't know why people are like that” "We’re equals. You'd better call me Mike . . .” -Why do you go up there, | Mike?” "That's a good question. Why I not?" He shrugged. “I'm broke ' and lazy and up there I get the urge to take some exercise. 1 don't sponge, if that's what you mean. And Tm conspicuously absent from the big evening ehin-liga." They lapsed into silence. Kit . staring out the window, Mike looking contented with • his pipe. , And Kit pushed back the thought : of Tracy Field and everything that went with her. Why bad her father done It? Had her mother been long-suffer-ing In the knowledge that her husband was a thief? What sort of people had -they been ? Had they truly loved each other? Not knowing, she cadd neither scorn nor pity but go on wondering. It had been eighteen years ago. If only she couiA find someone who had known the case. She glanced -t Mika Ho was a newspaperman and there were files . . . But I can't ask him, sbo thought He might make a story out of me and Tracy wouldn't want me. 'You don't go around telling people that your father went to prison . . . They were driving in a country that was in the first, fresh bloom of early summer. Presently Cecil turned ths car from the main highway into a winding shady road. Ten minutes Inter a bouse cams into view, a huge white bouse. Kit had only a glimpse of the swimming pool and two tall men tn white playing tennis before the car stopped and the butler came out for the baggags. Kit stepped Into a vast ban where she was promptly greeted by Mrs Mclntyre, a white-haired, wiry little woman with alert dark eyes and a ready smite. Mike introduced them. Then he said. "Be nice to her, Mae, aad I'll give you a bonua" Mr» Mclntyre shook her bead. "You’re always going on. Mr. Saunders. I'!l show you to your room. Miss Marshal! . .
