Predictions are for an unseasonably cold week, in Indiana. Temperatures will be from ten to twenty degrees below normal for , this time of year, the weather gueesers say. An Illinois man tried to read a “safety Pamphlet" while driving 60 miles an hour with the other hand. He wound up in the hospital and told his doctor that 'lt didn't make sense." 0 0 Now they tell us that women live longer than men and as proof the census department shows that the proportion of women to men is increasing The women may be older than the men but so far we haven’t heard of any who will admit it y o 0 The Automobile Manufacturers Association has Just revealed an auxiliary braking system that they say if adopted will eliminate virtually all truck accidents caused by faulty braking and that’s usually the cause given for accidents in which the big cars participate. o0 -0 Another word of warntagl Solidtors bearing the guise of charitable and religious organisations will pounce on the from now until the first of the year in great numbers. Many of these people are frauds and have no intention of forwarding your contributions to charitable uses. The best way to give to the various worthy organizations is through local people designated to collect the funds. -—o_ —o There is a severe rash of fraudulent check cashing going on in this area. The checks, many of them of the payroll variety look official enough but they are not. All persons and especially retailers and filling station operators are cautioned to make sure of a person’s identity before cashing-a check. Smail purchases are made by the check passers and the larger part of the amount is taken in cash. An honest person won’t mind waiting while you verify the validity of the check.

The government has decided to appoint a b.unch of extra federal Judges to relieve the U.S. courts from the tie-up in which most of them find themselves. Last year 97,000 cases were filed in these courts, of which number some 60,000 were filed by the government It would seem something could be done about such a situation as the department of Justice now finds itself some five years behind in disposing of cases. 0 0 It's hard to fathom what reasoning delivery truck drivers use which leads them to drive and park on the left side of streets when making house deliveries. It saves them a few steps and nd doubt speeds up their work a little. but they are violating the law and the practice should be stopped before a serious accident occurs here in Decatur. It also is Just as much a violation for a delivery truck to park along a yellow line as it is for any other motorist to do such a thing. A few prosecutions would stop these law infractions. 0 0 A county hospital, to meet the needs of its community, must keep abreast of the times. If the community grows, the hospital must grow. With this fact in mind, the trustees of the Adams county Memorial hospital have gone about slowly but determinedly to make the hospital here the finest in any comparable county in the middlewest. The trustees announced Monday that they were now ready to make a contract with an, architect and proceed toward the heeded improvements with a supporting petition. Several Adams county service and civic groups have endorsed the proposed improvements and have signified their willingness to assist in circulating the petitions. The trustees wisely have ruled out any elaborate plans and hope to increase the bed capacity of the present hospital to the minimum required to meet national association approval. The balance of the improvements will be in operating rooms and other facilities so badly .needed. The plan is well worth the support of every citizen of Adams county. t '

CHAPTER FOURTEEN CAROL BRINDLE was uneasy when she was not the focus of the conversation. She intervened now. ’’Albert is getting almost as difficult as Shandy. I sent for Dr. Thomas and he simply refused to let him enter the cottage." "Albert's not himself. He hardly even talks with Clyde," Bessie said. “I guess you don’t recognize Clyde, Jane. It must be umpteen years since you've seen him." Jane ignored the touch of defiance in Bessie’s voice and turned to the boy who had been studying her all this time, half expecting to be noticed, half prepared to be overlooked. Her smile grew a trifle stiff, as though she were holding it by main force. “Clyde! I’d never have known you!’’ She made a quick recovery. “And small wonder. You were about eleven last time I saw you and still small enough that I could look at you without a crick in my neck." She held out her hand to lhe boy and turned to Bessie, who was watching her alertly. She smiled reassuringly down at the plump little woman. The latter’s face warmed, relaxed. "It’s good having him here. He was away at school so long and then in the army—he’n Albert are just getting acquainted." Jarte’s smile lighted her face. “I don't mind sharing Albert with you,” she told the boy, “but 1 won’t let you monopolize him. Tell him he can't keep me out. If Im locks the door I’U simply storm the windov/s." “It would do him a world of good," Bessie declared. “Why tie should go on resenting you because you divorced Roger, as though no one could pick a flaw in the man—" Vaguely she realized that she was being un tactful “You know how Albert is, just living tn Roger. Never could see any of the fault might have been Roger’s." •'Will you be here long, JaneT" Shandy intervened hastily. Her eyes twinkled tn her grave face. “Just a week or two. I’m giving myself a long-delayed vacation.” Lois was fascinated by the contrast between Roger’s two wives. Carol’e loveliness glowed in the room, soft and delicate and as pervasive as the perfume she wore. Jane was plain, with alert intelligence, considerable humor and a sturdy, direct self-reliance. “You’re very successful, aren’t you?” Carol asked her predecessor. “Roger used to speak of it when he' saw your name signed to articles in big magazines. He was

pleased to know you’d done so well" The soft voice acquired an edge. "You aren’t planning to any articles about Roger, are you, because I’ve been asked—” Shandy’s eyes brushed Lois’ face, he winked at her, and looked away again. Implicit In the tiny gesture was shared amusement and understanding. “No,” Jane assured the embryo writer, "I won’t do any articles about him." "And if you have any material —" Carol began again, determined not to waste an opportunity. Jane’s smile deepened. “If I have any material,’' she assured the younger woman, “I’ll be happy to give it to Mrs. Fleming." Lois swallowed hard. Jane tod had elawfl, though it was doubtful whether Carol was astute enough to feel the scratch. "Thanks for the lunch, Carol,” Shandy said. “Jane, if you go away before I see you again I'll wring your neck.” "Don’t be absurd," she said briskly, "I intend to ask you to take me out to dinner." Tonight? Sold.” “Well," Carol exclaimed, “I’m glad there is something that will bring this caveman out of his retreat.” “Soon as I get these dishes cleared off,” Bessie said to Jane, “I’ll tell Albert you are here. Shake him out of himself. He says he’s saving his strength so he can tell Mrs. Fleming all about Roger. Says no one knew him as be did.* “It was a nice lunch, Bessie," Carol said kindly. "Mrs, —it seems funny to call you Mrs. Brindle when that’s my name—anyhow, fm glad to have seen you I always wondered what you were like.” Her tone implied that she was quite satisfied on that score. "Mrs. Fleming, let’s go into the library where we can talk. It’s so much cooler there." She nodded to Jane and laid her hand on Shandy’s arm. “There are some scrapbooks of Roger’s that are awfully heavy. Will you take them up to the cottage for Mrs. Fleming?” “Glad to." ‘Thanks, Shandy,” Lois said absently, became aware of the. stillness and knew that she had; blundered. He picked up the scrapbooks and went out Carol stretched out on a long couch in the library and piled pillows behind her. “J didn’t know you and Shandy were acquainted.* “We met in Europe,” Lois explained. “Years ago. Just after the

The builders are wonderful men to work for a school for children. They're also mighty nice designers. There aren’t enough words to Thank them.

Electric Power OH Here For 30 Minutes r- Electric power was off for 30 minutes Monday night just at supper time in a section of the north part of the city. The power failure was limited to the west side of Second street from Marshall street northworkmen found the trouble and the current started operating again at 6:36 o'clock.

He helped me find out —what had become of him.” *1 knew he was delayed getting back because of looking for some man.” The yellow eyes watched Lois without blinking. “But I’ve never heard him mention your name. When I told him you were coming he didn't even say he knew you." “He’d probably forgotten all about it. You know how it is. You lose touch with people so easily. And I had no idea,” Lois went on carefully, because it seemed important to make the point, “that 1 would meet him here. I had a vague idea he was married. Did his wife die?” "Shandy never married," Carol said. Her eyes closed in sleepy satisfaction. “This was his old family home, you know. He sold it to Roger when we were married. 1 was crazy about the place so Roger was eager to get it for me. Roger was like that. Always. Sometimes I think his whole life was spent just in giving people what they wanted.” The young widow sat so absorbed tn her thoughts that Lois hesitated to break in on them. Unexpectedly, Carol asked, "Do you think Shandy has changed much ?” • • • -*• "Changed?" Lois echoed. For some reason she found herself weighing her words, moving cautiously as though testing each step to be sure of firm ground beneath. "Os course, he was badly scarred when I knew him and quite lame. The scars have almost vanished. 1 had no idea he waa so strikingly good looking. And he’s hardly lame at all, just a little stiff.” Carol waa thoughtful. "Seeing him constantly, I guess 1 just hadn’t noticed how his scars had disappeared. They were horrible at first, weren't they?” She shivered daintily to indicate her disgust Lois held an iron grip on her anger. “He’d had a rotten time of it,” she said briefly. Carol nodded. “He just turned into a regular hermit If Roger hadn't routed him out by main force now and then he would never have left the cottage. But Roger—he couldn’t stand having . anyone unhappy. He’d just sweep them along with him. He was the strongest man I ever knew. Somehow I can’t get it into my head that he won’t Come in, calling me, and say he’d just been away for awhile.” (To Be Continued) ' k j
