month, the ranks having to be filled by new recruits. The! Se- . lective- Service department i will call 47,000 men during October, the majority being used to make replacements. The navy, marines and air corps will not call men next month, the depleted ranks hex'- , mg in the army, according to military officials. Although the July drought took a heavy toll on farm crops,] the Agriculture Department predicts a ‘ good harvest. Prospects are that the harvest will be as good as a year ago and exceeded only by the v bumper production in 1948 and 1949. In \lndiana, the Department estimates the average corn yield will be 49 bpshels to a drop of five bushels froip the July estimate, but sufficient to produce about 225,449,000 bushels, Oats and winter wheat suffered from the spell, but harvests are expected to be good. The soybean crop is expected to reach an all-time high, with a harvest of nearly 32 million bushels. Favor- . nble weather during the balance of August may smooth out some of the badly seared fields. r ■ . ' .. I . ■ ;—O O « An unusual situation has been /created in Utah in the Republican party. Sen. Arthur V. Watkihs is being challenged sos the GOP nomination by Marriner S. Eccles, whose name is better known in banking and financial circles than ,in politics. Eccles is a former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and served under presidents Roosevelt and Truman. He \ ■ - broke with Mr. Truman over policies and then like most men of opinions who leave 'nigh political positions, wrote a book. Sen.' Watkins is little known outside of his state and the more liberal Ecclesmay give him a real race in the September s primary, Utah is strongly Republican and it would seem that voters, there Woultl prefer a. man of 'their own party in preference to one formerly identified with the opposition.

CHAPTER ONE _ FROWNING, Steve Raymond stopped by the desk in the office of Killoran and Calder, Attorneys. He pressed out a cigarette and immediately spun a tiny grooved wheel against flint to produce a flame for another. Under his cuff, which he pushed back impatiently, his watch said 3:25. Eve’s appointment was for the half hour. - — ; He walked over to the window, jerked the cord of the Venetian blind, and bars of sunlight shifted from the broadloom tooakpaneled walls. Presently, from one of the glass-roofed taxicabs that i looked dike ladybirds in the sun down there on the Avenue, Eve would emerge, lovely and fresh and insolently cool. Every other woman in New York would be spiritless with the heat, but not Eve. Nothing touched Eve. Not heat nor cold, kisses, wrangling, rhyme nor reason. Nor marriage. * Well, that was over. The marriage was a statistic,* now, one of the three that; failed according to the analyst, who dispassionately reckoned percentages and felt none of the stigma or the bitterness. “Take it easy,” advised JKi Horan, relaxed in shirt sleeves on the other side of the desk. “You won’t have to see, her, Steve.” “Sure . . . Well, there won’t be a scene. Eve hates them, too. If; just once, she’d thrown a lamp or something! Not Eve. She’s not that human. She gets what she wants, though. I’ll say that for • her.” "\' ’ll'T ' “In this case,” Killoran said dryly, “one hundred thousand dollars.” Steve turned from the window, leaned on the Sill. His faint smile Was unamused. “Funny, spending half my life dodging the females who couldn’t see me for my money, and then being taken in by one who saw nothing else! Only I wouldn’t face it.” He asked abruptly, “She ever tell you the story of her life, Gordon?” Killoran shobk hisTiead briefly. “She’d been kicked about,” Steve said slowly. “Maybe I was sorry for her. No, that’s humbug. I’m no altruist. I loved her. I married 1 1 her. She is beautiful. Gordon.” ,

Modern Etiquette i i BY ROBERTA LEE o—■ i : C Q. Is it true that wohiep shake hands more than they fbrmerly did? | \ A. Although society still does not require it, women' are Shaking hands more than they used to — and I’m all for it. Nothing can take the place of a sincere handclasp when meeting a friend or acknowledging an introduction. Q. If the list of wedding guests is so small as to make engraved invitations unwarrantable; how ■should the .invitations be extended? - . ■ A. In this case, 1 the bride may write personal notes of intitation? Q. Is it correct for a woman who. is traveling alone to use the pre- : fix "Miss” or “Mrs.” when registering at a hotel? A. Yes; so that the hotel employes know how to address her. New Water Cooler At Court House A streamlined pedal-type, water cooler was ' delivered today to the court house to replace the porcelain fountain that has been there for many years. It is on the main floor adjacent to the assessor’s office. s.i" ’

Killoran’said nothing. “And it might have worked out,” Steve continued, “if she; hadn’t been a liar and a cheat -There’s not an honest emotion in her.” He spoke Without rancor, and went on less detachedly, “Yet there is a sort, of integrity in her, at that A rather merciless adherence to some formula. A grudge, I think, and before my time. She left that out of the life story, but I’ll swear it’s the clue to her behavior. She follows a pattern with a fidelity that would be almost admirable: If there weren't something sinister in it She needs money, and that'l where I came in. Exit by the trash can. After today she won’t give me another thought.” -g Gravely Killoran regarded his client and friend. “And you, Steve ?" “Me ? I’m cured.” “Now look, Steve. No use going sour on marriage just because one woman—” The interoffice buzzer sounded, and Killoran flicked a switch. “Yes?” “Mrs. Steve Raymond, Mr. Killoran.” “Send her in.” Killoran shrugged unto a tan-colored tropical jacket, and ducked his head towards a door on the other side of the room. "In there, if you’d rather. This shouldn’t take long.” Killoran was alone in the room when Eve came4n. v She was a slender girl, with the good sense to leave her eyebrows thick and not to run her lip brush over the edges of her mouth. As she came through the door she took off a wide-brimmed leghorn hat and ran her fingers through dark and fashionably short hair. She had the fresh, unspoiled look of a schoolgirl, but Killoran wasn’t hoodwinked. He had already, on Steve’S behalf, talked business with Eve, and he knew Steve hadn’t made an overstatement when he said Eve always got What she wanted. ’ Eve brushed with her hat at the tendrils of Smoke still twisting in the bars of sunlight. “Steve’s brand,” she murmured. She glanced it the closed door across the room nd her mouth dipped at the corners with amusement. "Oh. well.”

■ , she shrugged. “I’m not particularly anxious to see him, She sat down and crossed her knees, dangling the leghorn hat by its ribbons. “Is everything fixed ?” “Yes’,” Killoran told her. “Everything's arranged. Steve asked me to give you the check. There’s just one thing—” “Yes ?” It was wary, edged with belligerence. 1 “Steve would prefer you not to continue using his name.” “OK,” She relaxed. “Well, I don’t blind.” Killoran uncapped his pen. "To whom shall I make this out?” She laughed shortly, and not altogether with amusement. “You know, that’s one of the things I enevy you, and Steve, and people like you. You can say whom without sbunding like a stuffed shirt.” She gave an exasperated little shrug'at the irrelevance, and asked cheerfully, "Can you suggest a name?for me, Mr. Killoran?” When he didn’t answer, she reached for the telephone directory on his desk. She flipped it open, land without looking at the page, pressed her finger on it. “Jarvis,” she murmured, examining the name at her fingertip. ‘Tve Jarvis. I like it, don’t you? Oh,” pushing the directory away, “I suppose you’ll say it’s not legal. All right Eve Romley," she said sullenly. Killoran narrowed his eyes at her. But Eve looked calmly back at hiiti, and after a moment Killoran wrote Eve. Romley on the check and handed it to her. | Shh managed tb seem casual as she scanned it and placed it in her handbag. But when she stood up and said, “Thank you, Mr. Killoran,’’she couldn’t quite control the triumph in her voice. \ , “You understand this means you have no further claim on Stevd Rayrhond?” \ Her glance at the closed door/ was something between indulgence and contempt. “There’s nothing more I want from Steve, thank you.?- \ She went out, swinging her hat by its streamers, and walked towards the elevator. . z , 1 (To Be Continued).
