This apparently is the last week in which circulars, addressad to Resident, and name of city, can be sent through the mail. It is still permissable, however, to address forms and circulars. Resident, and give the street address and name of city. These circulars have stuffed mail bags and residential mail boxes for several years. Surveys have shown that only a small percentage of this type of mail is ever read. —_o o . Politicians aren't talking much concerning the possible outcome of the approaching Democratic mayorality primary here next week. All three candidates are prominent Decatur men, and any of the three could ably handle the affairs of a grdwing city. The campaign, with less than a week to go, continues to be on a high level and to our knowledge there hasn’t been a strike below the belt rendered by any of the candidates. 0 0 After a downward trend in the sale of cigarettes for more than two years, that product again is showing a steady gain. The downward trend started shortly after the published reports that there was a relation between the use of cigarettes and throat cancer. The tobacco industry has engaged the services of numerous medical experts to make a study of the rumors. In the meantime, filtered cigarettes have been brought out as a new product, and the industry is making a game effort to continue the increase in sales. O o Up at -Marshall, Mich., in Calhoun county, theyTe" stloftlng'S" brand new county court house. Officials in that southern county had a problem of housing the offices while a new building was being constructed. The architect conceived the idea of building the new project around the old one. This was done and the old court ' house is now being torn down. Where it stood, will be a court yard and parking center for officials. The fine new stone building is built around the square and is now being occupied. r .

Jennie's sister, Hester, is outraged at the thought of having to give up social plans for her debutante daughter, Enid, so as to benefit by her uncle's will. But Hester means to benefit and to get Norbeck's share of the land too! .CHAPTER FIVE HESTER continued to grip the desk, tor she nad the feeling of every spring tn tier suddenly broken. Then a fury of frustration slowly coiled up in her. ft had room tor Hubert as well as the directors ot the Athena club. If tie had consented to buy that house on Elm Rd.—a much more exclusive residential section than this! Lydia Holzworth lived on Elm Rd Ema—it she were not so utterly dull! She thought of Jennie, who was at that school. Perhaps someone Knew about her brother Tom, a disgrace to the family. When twice, ne nad appealed to her tor a loan ot money she had sent it simply to forestall his appearing at ner door. They did not want her as president so that she could go on working on that pageant committee! Indispensable! Ha! “If 1 am not in the city ?’’ A sweet revenge . . . It would take care ot Enid. "Shed have no place to hve—l’ll close the house." Perhaps, alone with Enid, she could break down the girl's indifference to so many things. "Hubert can live at the club.” She smiled—after three months ot that he would appreciate the home she made for him! Another thought went through her head Jennie could not get away from her job to go up there to hve—Tom would not think of leaving his dubious occupations to isolate himself in the country. "Their shares will come to me, I can dispose of that Norbeck person later.” Her friends came at the appointed hour. She met them composedly. To Ann's, “Really Hester. I’m sick about it," she said, lightly, “I’rrf not! 1 really don’t care a tlung about It! Lydia will make a good presidenL Tea, everyone?" Dora brought in the sandwiches.

The justice department brought the civil anti-trust complaint in federal court in Washington. It charged that Hilton violated the law by buying up the 10-hotel Statler chain last year.

They stared at ner. Anne cried: : “You can’t!’ r A tmte chorta itftwl.i "But where, Hester?" ; “It’s come up quite suddenly. My i uncle died a few weeks ago—he s left an estate up tn northern New , York. It has belonged to the fam- , Uy, my mother’s family, tor gen--1 erations. It may be run down but I'm itching to bring it back to [ what it was. And I should begin i right away. It’U be good for Enid, I too.” ‘ But, Hester, the pageant com- ! mlttee is going to be sunk!” ' "I’m terribly sorry but it just ■ can’t be helped.” > Hester mentioned the will to Hubert and Enid at dinner, tn much the same way. Hubert was not interested enough In her affairs to ask to read her copy of the wilt She began by asking Enid: "Did your wmm go through—that job, whatever it was?” "Na They’d taken on all the girls they needed.” “That’s just as well—l’ve a wonderful summer for you and me. You too, Hubert, if you can get away." She told her story—the old famUy estate, run down, possibly, and needing to be put in good repair. Some money—she couldn't say now how much. A wonderful spot for vacations —skiing m the winter. She said that to Enid. Hubert said: “I’ve never heard you speak th those glowing terms before of that place up there!” She met that with a smile. “Perhaps because I never thought of it as being mine.. I should go next week. . . ." Enid broke , to, an unwonted eagerness in her voice: “Mother, I’ll stay here with dad!” “But I’ll close this house, let Dora go. It will save quite a bit of money, and your father is worried just now over expensea Anyway, darling, I’ll need you there with me—your ideas about things. There’ll,, be other young people around—l imagine there's quite a summer colony there now. Hubert, you won’t mind living at the club for a while?” Hubert said: "No, Til be very comfortable there." • • • Dan Dooley parked his truck a half-block from the doorway of the Rendezvous and joined the doorman under the awning. “Evening, Dan." “H’lo, Bengy." "The kid’s okay, far as I can see, Dan!” Bengy laughed as he said IL It amused him that Dan Dooley had not missed stopping to take the kid home a single night in the two weeks she had worked here. Dan steppea to a corner of the wide doorway from which point he could see a part of the cocktail lounge beyond the red and gold foyer. He did this every night, by Jane Abbott Distributed by King F

Attorney general Herbert Brownell. Jr., said the suit asks a court order requiring Hilton to sell key holdings in Washington, New York. St. Louis and Los Angeles. Brownell said the action "strikes directly at the merger trend." He warned that he will “not hesitate" to file additional cases against other companies. Hilton. 67, owns and controls a 225-million dollar hotel empire ranging from the New Istanbul Hilton in Turkey to the Town House in Los Angeles. His more than 32,000 rooms in 27 hotels make him the world’s number one host. The complaint alleges that Hilton does a large part of the convention business in some of the most important convention cities in the U. S. Before the Statler-Hilton merger, the government said, the two thains “competed generally throughout the nation tor the business of national and regional conventions.” The suit was filed within minutes of a senate small business committtee hearing on the antitrust laws.

At that instant Cindy crossed Dan s point oi vision. He had only the barest glimpse of her but he knew just how she looked.

Brigit did not know, even now, after two weeks of it, how great a mistake it was, letting Cindy work here. ■ They had needed money. Tommy had not sent any for a long tune and the trucking business had fallen off. Cindy had declared she was going to find a job. She had graduated from high school the year before and now was studying mornings in a business school But she wasn't enough along in It to take a clerical position. “I’ll wait on table somewhere. Don't say no, Brigit,” she had pleaded. "It’d be tun!” In the end Brigit had consented. “I could lake her to Brill’s restaurant,” Dan had said. He'd done trucking for Brill, and Brill always had been friendly to him. The Rendezvous, he had told Brigit, was a respectable place. When he went to Brill with Cindy he had in mind her waiting on table to the dining-room. But Brill had looked at Cindy, smiled and said: "She’s hired, Dooley, but I’m not going to waste her in the dining-room. I’ll put her to the lounge."
