days iu a row any better than when it gets down to ten to twenty below zero in the winter. Why don’t the scientists who seem to be wasting a lot of time trying to get in touch with the moon, figure out some way of equalising the temperatures? We’d vote for that guy for most anything thing he wanted as we are sure he would be the smartest guy in the world. The battle for top place in the American baseball league goes merrily on and local White Sox fans are still hopeful. They made a good showing over Sunday, taking three hot games from the Detroit Tigers and have a good chance to bulge out in front of the Yankees and they might stay there. They may not be champions but they are scaring the Champs. 0 o We have an idea that hurricanes like Connie and Diane sure disturb business in those states along the Atlantic coast where they are prone to visit each year. They disturb thousands of who live along the routes and a million or more of summer visitors. And the actual loss surely runs into the millions. But we are hap-py-go-lucky people and as soon as the storm season ends we will be right back building or planning a trip to the seashore, so recently desolated. 0 0 Nevada is noticing a let-up in interest of the traveling public in their gambling rooms it is reported. The past several years had shown a rapid growth and thousands of people had headed that way, hoping to have a lucky streak and come home without having to account for some of their easy receipts. Promoters picked Las Vegas as the spot to build their city of fortune. Wonderful hotels housing gambling casinos were built there, more than a dozen of them. But all at once the customers seem to catch on that the profits belong to the man running the game, so they spent their money in the gay restaurants and for the past several months gambling has gone stale and owners are complaining loudly. Are the tourists getting wise?

CHAPTER THIRfY-NINE WAYNE CAMERON was a light sleeper. The sound of a norse approaching the Double Diamond rancn-nouse roused nun. He slipped out or bed and pulled on tus clothes in the dark, with the swiftness of practice. He wasn’t anticipating trouble, out ne played it safe by slipping tus gun into the Mstoand of tus trousers. As the tramping stopped in front of his door, ne called, keeping bis voice sleepy, “Who’s there?" "Mallory. Open up." He lit Che lamp and opened the door. “Evenin’, Mallory. What orings you here this time o’ night ?" “You’re up late," Rob observed calmly. "Just got in. Sick horse in the earn." "Saves me waiting for you to get dressed. You're coming along with me, Cameron." “Cornin’ wnere?" “To the sheriff." Wayne Cameron’s weren't the Kind oi nerves o be jolted by shock; ne'd Kept aHve too long oy expecting the unexpected. The tone tn which be answered Rob was as level as ma. "What tor?” “For being an accessory to Joe Larrabee’s murder—and a couple of other things l naven’t figured out the legal names Cor yet. I’ll leave , that to Lacey, after tie s heard what your girl and your partner can tell trim. They're t Broken Spur now, waiting for me to bring you back so we can ail ride into Sundown together." "Where’s your warrant, Mallory?" "Here." One instant the gun had been resting tn it* holster; he next, it was in Rob * hand, bright and deadly. With a sinking inside him, Cameron wished ne hadn't sent Calder away. This wa* the one weak spot m ni* armor. He wasn’t really good with a gun—as good as practice alone could make him, but he didn’t have th* instinct of • gunfighter, and that lightning draw had convinced him it would be suicide to try to make a plain fight of it "Come on, Cameron, and don’t try any fool playa. Make no mistake about It There’s nothing I’d like better than shooting you—except 1 happen to need you alive and calking. And that’s the way 1 aim to deliver you." •, With a cat-like lean. Cameron

However, if a pinch of salt is added to a wineglass of oil this is often overcome. Baking Cake The cake will be lighter if the batter is beaten longer before the baking powder is added.

Hung aimseii oaokward tnrougn the open door. The blast of Rob’s gun splintered against the heavy timbers as tie slammed it behind him and shot the bolt he’d put up tor just such an emergency as this. Swiftly be blew out the lamp, ran to the window, snapped a shot into the dark and ducked back into a corner, in a moment, orange flame lanced through the window. Cautiously he edged up, thrust his gun over the sill, fired, and retreated, drawing another answering shot, just too late. Three times he repeated the manoeuver, at intervals carefully spaced to keep the man outside guessing. The third time, he crept on noiseless feet across the room and through the kitchen to the back door. He slipped outside, blessing the moonless blackness of the night. By the time Mallory discovered bls quarry had got away, there’d be no possibility of tracking him before daylight He moved like an Indian across the yard, and out to the corral. His horse came to the bars; Cameron let him out and vaulted onto the oare back, putting a hand around the animal’s nose and jaws to quiet his whinnying. With hand and heel ne held him to a cautious walk till ne was out of earshot of the nouse, then raked him with the spurs and gave him his head. And as he rode, he re-shaped his plans. So Lon and Lita were at Broken spur. If he rod* like mad, he might beat Mallory back. And then—well, a tot of things could happen. Corny ■ Dawson had done his chore thoroughly on Broken Spur. He’d carried out the mission which Lita had whispered to him, and he had ridden away from Broken Spur with no definite destination in mind. The contents of Rob’s Dottie were a pleasant glow inside him and his brain was foggy in consequence. By the time he was halfway through the deserted npster settlement, ne wasn’t dear as to where he was, or why he was there, and tus memory of his own recent movements was lost tn an obliterating cloud. One thought nagged away at his otherwise complete content. Lita had told him to do something, and he couldn’t remember whether he’d done IL But he was very clear that Uta would make things unpleasant if it wasn’t done. No harm in making double sure, tie told himself solemnly andclimbmg down from his horse, ne took the matches from his pocket. He struck one with a dirty chumD-nari. souatted down

Watch For Violence At Perfect Circle ■ State Officials To Send Aid If Needed INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —lndiana Adjutant General Harold A Doherty inspected the three cities affected by the Perfect Circle Corporation strike today. They are New Castle. Hagerstown and Richmond In which many instances of violence have occurred. Doherty said specific units of the National Guard are ready to move into any of the cities in 30 minutes to two hours to restore law and order if orders are received from Governor George N. Craig, who took state police off the strike duty and threatend use ot guardsmen if additional disorders occur. George Hinkle, state labor commissioner, called both the company and the CIO United Auto Workers to attend a negotiation session in Indianapolis Thursday morning. The union shop (s the chief issue in the strike, which began almost four weeks ago, according to company officials. A spokesman said: ’’Perfect Circle does not feel it has the right to dictate to its employes, to order them to join a 1 union or to make it compulsory.” but William F. Caldwell, a UAW international representative, said there are other important disagreements on layoff pay, compulsory arbitration and protection on production standards. The union seeks a package wage hike of 21 cents an hour. The company has offered a 10 cent increase and extended fringe benefits. The old wage scale ranges from |1.21 to more than >2 an hour. A company spokesman said that more than 60 per cent of the workers we> on the job at the Richmond and Hagerstown plants and 15 per cent at the New Castle foundry Monday. Ralph Teetor, company president,, announced the company has bought the Dill Foundry Company building at Rushville and will employ 65 persons there, chiefly residents of that area. He denied, however, that the new plant would replace the New Castle foundry. 29 New Nurses To Be Graduated Wednesday INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The Indiana University Training School for Nurses will graduate 29 new nurses in ceremonies to be held Wednesday on the I.

Grass-fire! The most terrifying enemy known to the cattleman, for there was nothing human strength or brain or courage could do against it For a moment Rob sat his horse, stunned. Then he rallied tus forces. His crew was already in action, doing the one thing that could be done, moving the frightened cattle out of danger. He could see them silhouetted against the blaze, above the milling mass of animals, could hear their shouts over Che terrified bawling and clashing it horns. He put the spur* to his horse again and rode down on the herd- cracking tils quirt against the rumps of the nearest cows, lifting his voice tn a long, high trail-driver’s yell. “Hi-iy-ee!

He could feej the ripple of relief passing from man to man. The boss was -T the saddle — things couldn't be as hopeless as they seemed. Under tus commands, the chaos took on a sort of craay order.
