Slowly the last shadows of winter are vanishing and more signs of spring are apparent.

It proves that inflation has raised its ugley head even over there but doesn't explain how the sales are conducted or the price scale. . . -o—oThe American League Yankees are out to prove that it was an accident that Cleveland slipped in to grab one pennant last year and the New Yorkers act like they mean it, having won about ninety percent of the spring training games in Florida. 0 0 The big international question of the day is. "What has happened to former premier Malenkov?" Rurfiors have it that he was purged by the new Red regime.

session. However, he did send word back home that be intends to call a special session, probably not until fal lor winter. At present he is much more interested in fishing. 0 o Fort Wayne Zollner Piston basketball team, western division champions will meet Syracuse, eastern champs in the first of a best of seven world series at Syracuse tonight. A second game will be played Saturday afternoon and the two teams then will move to the Indianapolis fairgrounds for the next two games. The Pistons have had their best season since joining the big league several seasons ago. They should give a good account of themselves in the title playoff. 0 o "Secrecy in government is always anathema to Americans." (Anathema means to be opposed to). That line is from a statement by Congressman E. Ross Adair, Fourth Indiana district. Perhaps with that in mind, Congressman Adair will tell the public why the offices of the local. federal government agencies were split up and moved this week. The rumors are that some local polities entered into the project. You write it, Congressman, and tell the truth and we’ll print it- " Secrecy in government is always anathema to Americans." —o Stockholders of Citizens Tele phone Co. Tuesday night approved the last technicalities prior to the acquisition of two“mo?eßtelephone exchanges by voting in favor of the purchase of the common of the Argos and Nappanee utilities. Immediate control will be assumed by Citizens of the two exchanges which will add about 50 percent more subscribers to the control of the local company. As has been previously announced each exchange will be operated seperately, with bookkeeping and purchasing centralized in Decatur. The management of Citizens has done an excellent job and we are confidentthat their good service established in Decatur and surrounding area will be extended to their new properties. A big majority of Cjtjzens stock is owned locally.

Tell Her Jf^MURDf

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN REGINA went straight up to Andrus in the interview room, where he stood beside a table, her hands out, “Jim." Her eyes Riled. “Susan told me everything, from the beginning. She’s so much better than 1 am, has so much more resolution, faith. 1 can’t tell you how it made me feel What you’ve suffered! It's horrible . . . I thought all the time, I was sure. . . . I never had any doubt. And now—" She was very beautiful tn a black suit with a tiny red hat on her black hair. She put up her face. Andrus was deeply moved. He kissed her forehead, made her sit down on one of the straight chairs, pulled up the other. "Never mind it, Regina, as long as you know." He sat down close to her, took her bands in his. “Look, don’t feel too badly, Regina. 1 didn’t know myself for a long while—at least 1 wasn’t sure." They talked very briefly of that distant night. It wasn’t a subject to dwell on. Then Reguia said, "But this—tins incredible, this ridiculous charge against you—it will soon bo over and you’ll be free. That woman — what was her name?’* "Fenn,” Andrus said, and lit cigarets tor both of them. Reguia nodded. “Yes, Fenn. Now that she isn't going to die, that she's conscious and can talk, you’ll soon bo out of all thia She’ll know who tried to kill her, and then they'll nave to let you go.” it was the first word Andrus had bad of Mrs. Fenn's possible recovery. "How do you know ? Are you sure?’’ Regina said yes, Mr. Todhunter had told her. At the end ot another 10 minutes, as soon as Regina was gone, he informed the guard, about to return bun to ius cell and settle to the evening paper, that bs wanted to see either Sergt. Dupasse or the district attorney, at once. Mrs. Fenn not only continued to bold her own, she even unproved a little. She was naturally strong. But she was still on the danger list and Dr. Hoffner laid down conditions. She was in a large double room on the third floor that could be made to accommodate three beds. At present it held only hers. Screens were to be placed at the side of Che bed cutting off a section ct this room. The police officials would have to remain behind the screen while Hoffner himself asked the tew necessary questions. U all went well, the prisoner would then appear at the foot ot the bed in a strong light, after which the room would immediately be cleared. The whole thing couldn't be allowed to take more than five minutes at the most. The little cavalcade arrived at the hospital at U o'clock. Mrs. Fenn was lying high on piled pdlowa Her head was completely swathed in bandaging. Her arms lay on top of the spread, along her sides. Hands and face were grayish. Her eyes were open but for

husbands and fathers. Storting next September, baby sitting lessons for boys will be part of the normal curriculum of the Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire, secondary modern and grammar schools.

all the life she showed they might just as well have been closed. Dr. Hoffner was already there. He came into view, facing Todhunter, and began to talk in a low, carefully modulated voice. “You’re feeling a little better tonight, Mrs. Fenn?” The eyes didn't move. She gave the slightest of nod*. "You know what happened to you, Mrs. Fenn. We spoke of it earlier this evening. You were down in the cellar of your bouse drawing wins from a barrel into a pitcher when someone struck you from behind. Don't be frightened or upset. Nothing can happen to you here. You’re perfectly safe. We're' going to show you a man and ask you if it’s ths man who attacked you. Raise your band if it is, or nod your head. If It isn’t don't do anything. Do you understand?” Another nod. There was a faint expression now on the gray mask surrounded by whiteness. It seemed to Todhunter that the woman was trying to say something. Her Ups stirred. She moistened them with the top of her tongue. But she closed them again. The doctor said, "AU right, Mr. Andrus,” and Andrus walked out from behind the screen and over to the foot ot the bed. The light that had been rigged up was switched on, bathing bun m brilliance. The rest of the room was dim. “I* this the man who attacked you, Mrs. Fenn?” Not a sound except the far off murmur ot the city below; Mrs. Fenn gazed straight in front of her at Andrus. It was a long look. Blank at first, intelligence began to dawn in it. She gave a convulsive start, her lips parted again and her eyes opened wide. This time she spoke, in a baiting husky whisper. But her words were clearly audible. "That’s him . . . That’s the man—” The effort exhausted her. Her head fell back, her eyes closed, and two tears squeezed themselves out from under the lids and ran down her cheeks. Todhunter went to work. He alone nad correctly read the expressions on the stricken woman's taco when the doctor first spoke. Before dawn be bad the story out ot her. „ . . • «", Mrs. Fenn bad recognized Andrus all right, but not as the man who struck her down in the cellar. She recognized him as the man. the drunk. Midnight Mike bad brought with him to the house on Glover st., on the night Roger Pelham was killed. The only trouble was that she couldn't be certain about time, and in tier condition it was useless to press her. She knew it was late when Midnight Mike arrived with the drunk. She had’ expected Mike earlier, she had a pork roast tn the oven and it was almost spoiled. Mike might have brought his swaying cargo in at mavbe a little after 12. but then

again n might have been much later. First she thought one thing and then another. Todhunter would have liked a clear cut verdict. Tbs earliest Roger Pelham oouM have been killed was at 13:30. Obviously Andrus couldn't have been at the wheeei ot his car tn the Pelham grounds at half past 13 It bs was down in Yonkers with Midnight Mike, either in or approaching Mrs. Fenn’s house. For the moment Todhunter was forced to rest on his laurels. Mrs. Fenn was a woman who thought before she spoke, a woman who had to be clear in her own mind before she gave tongue. She was very clear about one thing. She hadn’t seen the mao who struck her down when she was drawing wine in the cellar. " “I started to look around, to turn, I thought 1 beard a sound, and then —nothing.” She couldn’t even remember the blow or blows. The next thing she knew she woke up in bed tn the hospital with a terrible pain tn her head. Before be went to sleep at 5:30 a m. Todhunter called the inspector. He told McKee what bad happened and that Horton admitted that the case against Andrus was full of holes. ”1 think they’re going to turn him loose." Silence from the other end of the wire. Then McKee said softly, “1 was afraid of this." “Afraid, Inspector?" "Afraid," the Scotsman repeated, his tone grim. “Now we’re back where we were in the beginning. Now it starts all over again.” Later that morning, Thursday, Susan Dwight woke up smiling. She felt happy, light hearted. The smile was for Barry. The charge room in a police station was an odd place in which to receive a proposal. Barry had asked her to marry him a couple ot times before, but never in such surroundings or with, such earnestness as while they sat there in two golden oak chairs near the high desk with a fat policeman writing behind it. She had wanted to laugh, not at Barry but at his solemnity, his nose very long, his chin very firm, his warm brown eyes very grave, with no fun in them. She had answered gently, "It’s no use, Barry, dear. 1 wish I could say yes, but 1 can’t.” She patted his hand affectionately. He had drawn it away affronted. "Are you In love with someone else?" She most emphatically wasn’t in love with anyone. She had said so, shortly. But his question made her angry. He had no right to ask it. She had never given him any encouragement along those lines. They were distant cousins and close friends, the way you were with people you had been brought Up with; knew inside out, but that was all. Later that afternoon the question came up again, in another and more outrageous torn*. Then Susan went into a white fury. ITa Be Continued >

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE I Q. In what room of the home should a tea be given? A. The table may be spread in the living room, if the group is small and the room is large. Preferably, however, the table should be in the dining room. Tea. coffee, fruit punch, thin sandwiches, cakes, olives and nuts are placed on the table and guests help themselves, except that women friends may assist in serving the beverages. Q. Am I obligated to ask my bridegroom's sister to serve as a bridesmaid at our wedding? A. Although this is often done, there is no obligation about it. A bride chooses whomever she wishes — her own sisters or her best friends. Q. Is it proper to break bread or crackers into the bowl of soup? A. This is quite all right.
