Army defeated Navy to the surprise of 100,000 fans and Southern California stunned the middlewest by defeating Notre Dame. There were numerous other minor upsets and the queer turn of events even ran into Sunday when the underdog Chicago Cardinals pasted their cross-town rivals, the favored Chicago Bears. The latter game was played in a driving. snowstorm. O 0 Another term of the internationally know Reppert Auction School opens in Decatur today.

A. There is no obligation, but. it is a nice gesture. If, however, one feels one cannot afford a gift or is not on intimate terms with the new parents, then a congratulatory card or hand written note would be In order. Q. What should a’.person say when about to be introduced to the person for the second time? A. A suitable expression would be, "Thank you, but I have already had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Williams.” Q. Is it all right, when entertaining dinner guests, to use a folded napkin to brush the crumbs off the table? A. This is quite all right. 0 ■ -0 I Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE 0 ... ..-<i Ths Hair Brush Keep the hair brush in a sanitary condition. To clean it, dip several times with back upward in warm water, to which a little household ammonia has been added. Do not rinse. This will stiffen the bristles and keep them from becoming soft. Place the brush on its back to dry. Silver-back brushes should not be put into water. Steaming Windows If the windows steam excessively, it is an indication that there is not the proper amount of circulation of air in the room. A Plaster Try using ground ginger for a plaster Instead of mustard. It will not blister and is very effective in drawing.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN “WHAT will you think of us, ‘ Mrs. Fleming!” Carol exclaimed after Paula's emotional exit. "I can’t imagine what’s come over the child.” “She seems rather nervous," Lois said. "Girls of that age are apt to be a bit unstable emotionally." She longed to add, “What that little self-dramatizing exhibitionist needs is to be turned over someone's knee and paddled.” Shandy was pulling a piece of bread apart, crumbling It in his fingers, and Lois recalled having watched him do that one night in an Austrian farmhouse. Behind a flimsy door an armed man had waited and Lois’ nerves were screaming. Shandy had continued to talk in an easy, casual way, his voice even, only his restless hands betraying his tension as he pulled at the bread and crumbled it. To his mother’s despair, Clyde had stopped eating. He looked as though he wanted to go in pursuit of Paula but did not quite know _ how. “Another cinnamon bun," Bessie said anxiously, pushing the plate toward him. “Eat them while they’re hot.” Clyde tried to smile at her and shook his head. "But 1 thought you liked cinnamon buns. You used to eat all you could hold.” Carol went on in her soft voice. “Joe Hattery Hasn't done a stroke of work since Roger died, and Ethel goes stalking around like Lady Macbeth. Anyone would think she was (he widow. Shandy,” she leaned forward, one ringed hand on his arm. "Shandy, do tt s for me, will you? Tell them to leave —in a nice way, of course." Shandy's face tightened. “Do you think that's wise, Cafol? There's nothing to be gained by antagonizing the Hatterys.” He added quickly, "I think you are right, of course, to want to be rid of them. But let’s see what we can figure «ut without actually throwing them off the place. Why don’t I put an ! ad in the New York papers, say--1 that Racer Brindle’s ewrefer*

The suspect is Lloyd Miller, whose cab was found abandoned in Pekin, 111.. 26 miles east of Canton. He is believed to be traveling on a Greyhound bus somewherie between Indianapolis, Ind., and i Louisville, Ky. 1 Victim of the murder was Janice May, whose body was found by her two brothers and their pet dog in a railroad yard Saturday. Polioe chief Kenneth Lindsey said Miller, about 25 and unmarried, had been listed by police for questioning before his disappear- ’ ance became known. Miller took out his cab two hours ’ after the body of the girl had been found and did not report back at quitting time. No Trace In Indiana ( INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —lndiana state police said today that thus i far no trace has been found of a . suspect Scfhght in the rape-murder of an ejght-year-old Canton, 111., girl, ' Indiaifa authorities had been i asked by Illinois police to locate a Canton, 111., taxicab driver, Lloyd Miller, who left that city shortly i after Janice May was found dying In a railroad yard.

is looking for another employer to whom she can be as useful as she was to him?" Something in the inflection of his voice made Lois look from Shandy to Carol. There was an undercurrent of meaning that escaped her. "Anyone who can read," Shandy went on blandly, “knows about Ethel the Faithful Secretary. That ought to bring her any number of good offers." Lois shifted uneasily in her chair. In spite of the spontaneous manner in which Shandy made the suggestion, it sounded to her like something that had been rehearsed. “What a wonderful idea! rd never have thought of that." Carol’s face clouded. “But would anyone else put up with her husband?" "Joe," Shandy assured her, “is adept at being taken care of. If Ethel gets a good job he will have no objection. And if he knows what is good for him,” Shandy’s voice grew hard, "he’ll learn to behave himself." They had nearly finished luncheon when the doorbell rang. Bessie got up and went to answer it There was an exclamation, a murmur of voices, footsteps, and Bessie stood in the doorway between the dining room and the drawing room. Behind her was a tall woman with graying hair and a plain, charming face. Shandy got to his feet, an odd expression on his face. "Carol,” - Bessie Kibbee said, unable to control her excitement, “I guess you two ought to know each other. This is Jane Brindle, Roger's first wife.” • • • Carol looked with unconcealed curiosity at her predecessor. "I am so glad to see you," she said tranquilly. “Forgive me for coming," said the lovely voice which was the older woman's only beauty. “You couldn't have come at a better time. Because you knew Roger when he was young.” Carol made the words sound light-years awav. “I’m enina t* write Us Ute

Two Unions Sign Mutual Assistance Four-Year Pact By Teamsters Unions NEW YORK (INS)—The AFLTeamsters union and the Indepen-dent-International Longshoremen’s association have signed a four-year mutual assistance pact. The agreement pledges both unions "to render mutual assistance pnd aid in joint organizational efforts” in eastern, southern and central regions. v Officials announced, after the pact was signed in New York Sunday following nine months of ne- , gotiations, that a join}, check of < the New York, New Orleans and Toronto ports would be made. Aim of the survey is "to determine how much freight is being moved by non-union longshoremen! and truckmen.” ILA officials refused to say i jvhether the agreement brought j the independent union closer to a return to the AFL which ousted it two years ago on charges of gangster control. ILA head Capt. William V. Bradley said his union would get “whatever aid is necessary” from the teamsters, but he added that this does not include financial assistance. The agreement expires in July, tost.

Story and I want to know ab««rt him when he was • And eaphow,” she added jisi Ur, "we have < so much in common." , Lois saw Jane Brindle’s big. Ugly, humorous mouth twitch for i a moment and felt her firm hand- , clasp when Carol had performed the introductions. Jane gave her a keen glance that weighed her but was not unfriendly. “Lois Fleming? Then we have a mutual acquaintance. Mignonne is my agent, too, and I’ve heard her mention you. Wonderful gal with articles, isn’t she?" Queer, Lois thought, she had never realized that the Jane Brindle who wrote articles had any relationship to Roger Brindle. Probably because their work was so 1 Utterly different, his warm and personal, hers brilliant, and pungent but impersonal. Jane brushed aside Carol’s introduction Os Shandy and kissed him exuberantly. “Fve known this boy since he was five." Shandy reached for a chair but Carol failed to suggest that the first Mrs. Brindle sit down. In the pleasantest way possible she was making clear that the older won.an waa an intruder in her home, an Uninvited guest with no recognized status whatever. Jane Brindle, serene and poised, seemed totally unaware of her ungraciousness. “Put on a bit of weight, haven't you?” Bessie commented. Jane laughed. "Still the same old Bessie." “You get no compliments from me. I say what I mean and I don’t dress it up.” < “It’s outrageous for me to barge in like this,” Jane declared. "How la Albert?" “He’s just pining away," Bessie told her. “Ever since Roger died. It’s as though part of him had stopped living.” , “Part of him did,” Jane eaid quietly. “When can X see him?" Bessie, always so forthright, was embarrassed. ‘Til tell him you are here. But he won’t see many people.” IT* Be CiMtinnaHi
