Two weeks from tonight you can catch up with the hour of .sleep you missed last April. 0 0 More than 1900 pupils were en« rolled in the public and Catholic schools on opening day, including W 3 tiny tot* in the Decatur kindergarten. This wonderful family of children will keep things lively, not only in the classrooms but at home, and develop into junior citlxens quickly. We hope the school year goes along smoothly without accident or tragedy to anyone. —Jo 0L— School days call for more than books and pencils . . . our attention must be directed to safety. On the opening day of city schools the first accident involving children riding on a bicycle occurred. On US road 30, the first school bus mishap took place, but luckily the children were not injured. Let’s be careful ... a reminder both to children and adults. -- »■■■«• Q-O« . iDirectors and members of the budget committee of the Decatur Community Fund are earnestly engaged in compiling the budget for which the fund raising drive will be launched Oct. 11. All youth agencies and related activities will be given first consideration by the budgeteers. With the opening of the new Youth Center next year, activities should be expanded on a large scale and an outstanding program developed for the children. The drive will also include funds for national campaigns, thus combining all appeals in one effort. The best tribute to civic responsibility would be the completion of the drive within a week and reaching ' the goal in that period. It can’be done if we all do our share. -—o p The forthcoming party conventions in New York attract almost as much attention as general elections.

Animal Substance Helps Body Absorb Injections

By HERMAN N. BUNMSEN, M.B. THE bull help* to keep man healthy through the production of hyaluronidase, a substance that is present in all tissues of the human and animal body. It is found particularly in the male sex fland and is now being obtained commercially from the sex gland of the bull. Its value Uea in the special action ft has on the absorption of fluids into the body, when they are given by unusual means, such as by injection. ~.. n It is difficult to give injections into the blood vessels of many patients, especially children, because of the minute size of the vessela Therefore, whatever medication or food the child needs may have to ho given into the tissues. Swelling and irritation of the tissues used to occur when this was previously done. Hyaluronidase now increases the ability of the tissues to absorb fluids and send them into the blood stream. It also facilitates distribution of certain vaccines which may •awe extreme irritation or attor*

term in Albany. A dead-heat race seems to be forming among the Democrats, although endorsements from influential party leaders give Averell Harriman an edge over Congressman Franklin D. Roosevelt, a candidate to succeed his father in the state house. The two conventions will be held the same week, beginning September 20. Winning of the New York governorship will give the victor control of the state's delegation to his respective national convention in 1956. Headquarters Open:— _ With the opening of headquarters tonight in the McConnell building on North Second street the Democrats will launch their campaign for the November election. Appropriately, the program will be "Judges Night” for the campaign opener. Circuit Court Judge Myles F. Parrish, a candidate for reelection, will be chairman of the meeting. Speakers will be Severin H. Schurger, candidate for Judge of the Appellate Court and James P. Murphy of Fort Wayne, candidate for Judge of Che Indiana Supreme Court. Local friends of Judge-nominee Schurger will turn out for hi* first speaking engagement of the campaign and assure him of their support. Judge Parrish, who heads the Democrat county ticket is not opposed by a Republican candidate in this, his second race. His reelection is contested only by a candidate on an Independentticket* ~~ ~ Judge Parrish is an outstanding jurist, whose record places him among the leading interpreters of the law and magistrates of justice in the state. Candidates on the county ticket will be introduced at the meeting. Friends are invited to the new headquarters and to Join in the launching of the campaign that Dr. Harry Hebble, county chair- • man, has geared toward November victory.

mono Pena Houk senses that something Bve is troubling her uncle, Senator w Storey when, unexpectedly, he leaves Washington tor his homestate tn the West. Is his mission linked to the ugly story which their young neighbor. Marsh Nichols, a war vet & spreading? Something to the effect that years before Senator Storey had swindled the Nichols’ fine Maryland homestead from them, causing the Senior Nichols' untimely death, leaving Marsh and his mother destitute. The old Nichols' place la the Storey residence now. Nose of the Storey family teems aware of the ageing statesman'a distress and none of them wm to care. His wife, Maude, la steeped in the social whirl. CHAPTER EIGHT QUINCY HOUK wondered if she was in love. She did feel a little quiver as she waited in the car outside the building that housed the law offices of Crammer, Potter and Yates. The heavy 4 o’clock traffic of the District of Columbia zoomed past her and twice the policeman on the far comer had .leaked her way and made as though he meant to whistle her on, but each time Quincy raced the motor and blew the horn again and the law forebore to annoy Ker. She was batting at the steering wheel impatiently with her gloved hand when she spied Yates Underwood in the line of workers emerging from the building and sounded a peremptory summons As he came near the car Quincy looked him over and the thrill died tn a flare of irritation. How could a girt tingle over a man, who in »pite of his good look*, his broad shoulders and natty clothes, persisted in being always hurried, always eager and somehow so darned humble? It was his fiendish old grandfather's fault, of course, but Yates ought to have a little more spirit .< He walked around the car, dodging traffic, and got in. beaming at her. That annoyed Quincy, too; the did not enjoy being beamed at A Bogart type with a dry insult tor greeting was the kind of man »he dreamed about. She said: “Well, hello,** and gunned the car into a stream of vehicles, frowning as Yates involuntarily grabbed the door handle. He Mid: "Hello, I wasn’t expecting you, Quincy, or I’d have been waiting. Temple and I were talkins over a case.” “Is that it?" She jerked her head at the briefcase. "More homework ?" •This? No, this is the file on another job. I have to deliver it—mind running around on New York Ave.? It’U only be a minute.” "It will be complicated with all these no-turn corners, but for you ( will oblige. Could we go out to dinner somewhere ? Uncle Elihu is sut west and Aunt Maude’s found another diet she’s trying, so the prospect* over in Maryland are ' »lim." "I can telephone. I’ll do that when 1 leave this flic.

So he goes on collecting cringes and practicing his roar he is past 80." "Well, you mak* aSMI feoo* attempt at keeping the senate* appeased yourself,” Yates retorted. "The hang of being part at thia generation is that the people who proceeded us grabbed everything and are sitting on it Even if they're too feeble to stand up, they can still sit hard and relentlessly.” “You'd have done better with some other firm. Uncle Elihu said so.” . . “Your Uncle EHhu has a profound respect for our firm. He hasn’t forgotten that it was Potter who dug into those warehouse deals out west, and grandfather says that Storey is hoping nobody bores into some of those land deals he’s put over out there.’’ _*’ "Your grandfather has a pojfonous mind. Aunt Maude says he sits out there in the park and hatches up deals to stir up Congress because he likes the idea of people squirming even if he can’t see their convulsions or hear what they say. Penn and I—" Quincy thought better of what she had started to say. Not that she had been warned not to talk about the land deal in Uncle Elihu’s state because she and Penn stood to profit by it, but in a senator's house you did learn discretion. She changed the subject "Penn and 1 own this car now and we have an agreement. Alternate days. But Penn rarely goes out at night” “We might arrange some kind of double date." "She’d hate it We vowed long ago to stay far apart. We got so sick of men making corny Jokes and grabbing the wrong girl 1 and raying: ‘Oh, sorry! I thought you were your sister,’ all that dismal stuff. The odd part is thalli we don’t actually look alike.” “Well, there is a kind of difference, right' close. In your expression, I guess. And your clothes, of course.” "You mean Penn looks intelligent and I don’t?" “Get your claws down. I mean there’s a kind of shine about you. Your eyes, maybe. Penn brushes her hair back and you don’t and when you smile you look alike—” "Except that mine is a slightly idiotic grin and Penn always goes around looking like a brain with a purpose. Me, I haven’t a purpose in the world except to enjoy living. Is this where you atop ? Ybu'd better be . brisk, my friend. I can’t double park here very long.” While ahftf’waitcd, Quincy had wondered about Yates Underwpod, wondered dubiously if Yates was the best man that was ever gbing to happen to her. Twenty-one wasn't so young, and Fenn wks a sort of handicap. Fenn was restless and ambitious, and that made her exciting; and she had that burning look like a torch going forth to illumine something or other. Quincy hated feeling eclipsed beside her twin but the feeling had always been there. But she was toe comfortable Houk, hh* wasn't

interested in causes or learning new things or foreign languages. She was thankful that she knew the right words in English. Yates came out then and they decided on an upstairs Chinese place on the avenue. Quincy drove the car into a parking place where you paid two prices because the attendants wore‘cube green suits with gold braid on them. The restaurant was very dim and muffled, with thick carpets, and the Oriental who led them to their table wore slippers with no heels, so the officer in navy tans who sat alone at a small table studying the menu did not look up till Quincy dapped him on the shoulder. "Hi!" she cried. Gil Storey jumped to his feet, "Hello! Gee whin!” he exclaimed, "You startled me, Quincy—or is it Penn? Too dark in here to tell which is which.” “I'm Qulricy, ha ha!” she made a wry grimace. “I’m the one who. laughs out loud. You know Yates, Gil ? Yates Underwood, my cousin, Lieut Storgy.* Yates murmured polite greetings. "How about joining us, sir?** "Glad to. Got room at your table for me ?’’ "Os course, sir.” "How about leaving off ths •sirT " “Sorry—just habit I was a very lowly gob tor a long period ot time, and even one stripe makes my legs tremble yet Another chair here, boy.” Yates took command. He knew how to be a host Quincy approved. At least he had that much from his proud old grandfather. "And why is so handsome and distinguished an officer as you dining alone?" Quincy inquired, after, she had parked her bag on an extra chair and given her order without looking at the prices After all, the Yates family were supposed to be rolling. "Winnie went over to Alexandria again to see that show of Rufe's Amateur stuff bores me and we had an argument which ended in the certainty that I’d have to bod niyself an egg ts 1 wanted to eat, Id I came down here.

They have a committee to do that.",. “The committee picking out the plays they or their sister or their cousins want to act In,” Yates supplied helpfully. “I can take the plays," Gil said. “It’s the curtain calls I can’t take.” “I can imagine," Quincy jerked her mouth open, "seeing Rufe smirking in a headwaiter's suit and actually pleased at all the polite gloves spatting together." "He could at least have stayed in the Army," said Gil. “He hated it. You know Rufe never did react very well to discipline, and Aunt Maude was sure he’d have some psychotic breakdown or other unless he got out.” “What Rufe needs is a good kick in the stern," Gil said. 4Jo So JU)

SYNOPSIS Pean Houk senses that something grave is troubling her uncle, Senator Elihu Storey when, unexpectedly, he leaves Washington for his homestate in the West. Is his mission linked to the ugly story which their young neighbor, Marsh Nichols, a war vet is spreading? Something to the effect that years before Senator Storey had swindled the Nichols' fine Maryland homestead from them, causing the senior Nichols' untimely death, leaving Marsh and his mother destitute. The old Nichols place is the Storey residence now. None of the Storey family seems aware of the ageing statesman s distress and none of them seems to care. His wife. Maude. Is steeped in the social whirl. -And his sons Gregg and Rufe have grown to manhood childishly immature. Gil. the younger, had long ago rejected Penn Houk in favor of his frivolous wife. Winifred. CHAPTER NINE GIL DID NOT look like the other Storey sons. Gregg and Rutherford were like the Houks, only taller—the same dark coloring, the same slim litheness, the same unconscious charm of manner that was always a bit tinged with artificiality. Gil’s hair was rough and brown as his father’s had been before it grayed, his eyes were blue and steady, his skin flushed but did not tan. “Are you getting back on sea duty soon, GU?" she asked, as the steaming dishes were placed before them. GU said: ‘Td be gone tomorrow If .I had my way." “Any special ship, sir?" “Any doggone ship, Ao she had water under her keel" “Not a mine layer," Yates remarked. “I was stuck on one of those bilgy barges in the Mediterranean for the longest year of my life.” “Even a mine layer,” insisted Gil. "Even a bilgy barge would beat hanging your heels on a desk all day, Alling out stupid forms and feeling as useless as a barnacle." “How about a show?" Yates suggested, as he picked up the check. "We’d be honored by your company, Lieut Storey. Can you stay in town that late, Quincy?" “GU can take me home. He can spend the night,” Quincy arranged blithely. “Penn will adore getting up in the cold gray dawn to bring you back to town, GIL" “I- hate to let anybody in for a long trip like that” GU objected. "Oh, she'd be thrilled. You dashed Penn's maiden dream when you married Winnie, -you know, GU.” "Penn admired the way I dived off the high board," Gil argued. But to Quincy’s shrewd young eyes he looked a trifle bemused and flattered. He didn't know, of course, that Penn still had his own junior grade insignia in her jewelry box under the earrings she never wore and their mother's old pins and clips. It was a brainy sort ot show Yates chose and Quincy was soon bored with It Even Gil nodded * onco or twice and Quincy regarded him sympathetically. Winnie, no doubt kept him up all hours, and she could sleep all day. “I’ll bet you get your own break-

Old Myron Yates has had it in for dad ever since the Storey bill passed. I hope the senator is covering his tracks carefully out home, as he goes." "But your father isn’t dishonest, Gil! You can't think that about Uncle Elihu," Quincy protested. “I didn't say he was dishonest He’s a politician and an opportunist He saw a chance to promote a little cash for you kida out there and by indirection he put it over, without appearing to ’ be in on it at aIL Just as be got me marooned over there in the Navy building on a crummy piece of duty that any seaman, third clasa, could handle with one eye shut And while he was doing it he let one admiral think he was doing another admiral a favor." Gil was bitter. “Cant you apply for active duty, if you want it so badly?” “Yea, I’ve got that right" he said heavily, and the conversation died. Quincy had no innate keenness of perception. She did not see through people or read their thoughts as Penn was always apparently doing, but she knew that somehow Gil had been hurt Winifred was letting him down, and he had adored his blonde, frivolous wife. Maybe Penn was right after aIL When they reached the house Quincy decided she would not let Penn drive Gil back to Washington in the morning. She’d get up early and make coffee and run him back to the Navy building herself. She heard Gil telephoning in the hall, heard him hang up after a little wait Winifred was obviously still out . 'Til have to wait up till she comes In and let her know where 1 am," he said in a tired voice. “You go to bed and rest” argued his mother. "I’ll stay up and call her. Penn’s still out, too—she’ll be late coming in." “My word, has Penn actually gone out?" Quincy asked. "She decided at dinner time that she'd go to see Rutherford’s play. I let her have the'big car. Penn really drives carefully," Maude said. Quincy went upstairs a trifle puzzled. Wishing she had been born clever, that Penn hadn’t got all the ahrewdness for the two of them. “What was Penn up to?" was tho question in her mind she could not answer. Penn had been so odd and accretive for the last few days, and Quincy, being an open and forthright person, did not like mysteries. • • • Elihu Gregory Storey, Jr., had been called Gregg all his life.

."F-- 1 1, - Three years after marrying Malvina he had gpfie into the Aip Corps, found himself detached, free A to act and think on his own. t Home from the wars, jaunty and strutting a little, he had reeled under a succession of discouraging jolts. There had been a job waiting for him in the patent office, and that he had promptly loathed and discarded. Then, deciding that he wanted to be a newspaperman, he had committed the error of mentioning this desire at home. Within a week be had a job on a Washington paper, and within a month he knew that he would never be any 1 good in tt. He had walked out of the newspaper job finally and got a realtor’s license. He had borrowed enough money from his mother to rent a little office space and equip it, and the fact that Maude wore the same fur coat for six years never registered with him. Malvina knew, but there had always’ been a tinge of malice in Malvina toward the Storeys. If they made sacrifices for Gregg it was the price they had to pay for rearing him a handsome egotist with ideas far above his capacity. Now that botk boys were in school Gregg’s wife worked parttime in his office. They drove home together at night, in the car that had to be waxed and polished continually to disguise itp age and that tn this late September heat had a tendency to run hot “Water pump," Gregg said. “Needs a new gasket It was almost boiling when I got out to that Arlington property. The fellow was an automobile saleeman and he lost interest in the property trying to sell me a new car." “Well, why didn’t yon make a I trade with him?- Malvina asked. "What kind of a trade?" "Sell him the house and let the commission apply on a new car," she persisted. "Any morning now this thing is going to refuse to start and then where will you be ?" "Riding the bus. I told you he lost interest in the house. There was another one built on the same plan in the same block, and ho said Mb wife wouldn’t stand for that, and he'd heard that television reception wasn’t good down on that flat Cars involve payments, my dear, and payments can be painful when there's no money to meet them." i "I’m sick of hearing that Fm sick of not enough money to pay for tilings,” declared Malvina. Tm sick of it, too, but you can’t build a business overnight" ’■"You’ve been five years at tt!" “We’ve had a living." “Somebody's visiting ua,” Gregg remarked as they camo in sight of their small brick house.
