Auto mechanics say that It is a good practice to run clear water over the bumpers and fenders of your automobile every few days during the winter. Purpose is to wash off the salt and calcium compound used to melt the snow on highways. If this is not done there is a probability that fenders and bumpers will become rusty. 0 0 JPeople shouldn't be too surprised at the numerous giveaway programs sponsored by nation's big corporations. The present national administration has been doing it ever since it assumed leadership. Interior secretary McKay la a past master at It and certainly should have little trouble heading one of the big lotteries when his term expires. - 0 0 Maybe we’re sending our "Crusade for Freedom” funds in the wrong direction.

It’s hard to imagine any real benefit which comes from'two men hitting each other, frequently into unconsciousness and some times into death. We have laws prohibiting roosters and dogs from fighting •■exhibitions" in this country but there is no law to prohibit human beings from exhibiting their fighting skill. Many of the fighters who earn fabulou* sums of money are unable to pay their taxes after., a nationally publicised fight. The men don’t gain; the government doesn’t gain and the people soofi forget even the names of the principles of a fight Why have them? $ Ok— After more than ninety years of Christian living, smiling through »happiness and sadness and always with a word of encouragement for others, Mrs. Christens Vail Wicks slept away at Adams county Memorial hospital Saturday , night The prominent Decatur woman lived a full life, being happiest when she was doing some- ’ thing for others. She was a de- . vout member of First Methodist church; a faultless mother and active for many years in Decatur club, literary and civic life. Mrs. Wicks, even though in falling health the last’ several years, attended Church as much as her physical ability would permit and kept abreast of the times by constant reading. Nothing pleased her more than to see others happy. She suffered a fractured hip in a fall at her home several days ago and the shock was too much for her failing health to combat. Her many Decatur friends will profit for years by the examples she set in her daily living and her theory of happiness on all -—occasions will be remembered forever by those who knew her. - o

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT AT ETHEL’S orders, Shandy and Joe lifted the unconscious man and carried him into a guest room where Shandy, at Ethel’s orders, removed Doc’s trousers while she brought towels, hot water, and made a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. And all the time she talked, words pouring dut of her as though floodgates had been opened. “What a fool I’ve been. I thought—l was afraid—it was Joe who’d done all this.” “That’s why you smashed the pane of glass.” She nodded. “I thought he was jealous of Roger Brindle and so I was partly to blame for what had , happened to Roger. It has been hell, thinking that But Joe had no reason to harm Mrs. Fleming or Doc. He didn’t do it Thank God, Mr. Stowe, I can leave him now. I’m free of him." The uncharacteristic loquacity stopped. Sheaaid tn he; usual tone, “Get some brandy." As he started toward the stairs he saw Carol standing aa he had left her at the foot of Paula's bed. Joe was crouching, one arm stretched out under the bed. “Don't touch that gun, Joe!” he said sharply. “Leave It where it is.” Joe grinned. “I just wanted to look at it" He gave a sidewise glance at Shandy. "A .22. That's what I figured." “Out,” Shandy said, and.after a moment’s hesitation Joe left the room with a’ last glance at Paula unconscious on the bed and Carol still standing at the foot, her eyes blank. Ethel held Doc’s head and let a little brandy trickle down his throat, careful not to choke him. He swallowed, opened his eyes, and almost instantly he was alert. “Good work," he told Ethel, looking at the tourniquet. “I haven’t called a doctor yet," Shandy said. “Who do you want?” “Bring me my bag,” Dr. Thomas replied. 'lt’s in Paula’s room. I can deal with this myself.” “You can hardly probe for that bullet.” “I can if I have to," Thomas retorted. “Do as 1 say. We don’t want the police here." “Who doesn’t?" Shandy asked. { "Anyhow, this thing has gone too i far. Someone is berserk and we’U i have to stop IL The truth about i Roger is, going to come out wheth- 1 er we like It or not" _ „ “Let’s not try to pull any wool 1 over each other’s eyes," Dr. Thomas said. “I’m In this thing | up to my neck.

as they do. But Carol—she got under my skin. I don’t know what It is about her.” He gave a short laugh. “Now she tries to kill me and I can’t do A- thing about it. I have to keep still for my own sake." •" “Did you see her do it?” 77— - “No, I-well, I—" “Okay, you were making a few passes. But I can’t see how you could have failed noticing if she had a revolver in her hand." “I only—bring me that bag,” Dr. Thomas said harshly and with a shrug Shandy did as he requested. - "Can 1 help you?" he asked when he had set the bag on the bed within the doctor’s reach. “Ethel will help. And shut the door behind you.” ‘l’ll leave some brandy. Looks as though you are going to earn it” Shandy poured a small amount into a glass and left the bottle for Thomas. In JJaula's bedroom he Ufted the girl’s head and held the glass to her lips. She swallowed convulsively and opened her eyes. They fell on the blood stained sheet but she did no( cry out. Instead she looked at it with a kind of savage delight. “Carol did it,” she said. “She shot Doc. And she killed Roger, too. Dr. Thomas knew. Tonight he told her he knew and he’d protect her if she was nice to him. They thought I was asleep and he was whispering. But he warned her about attacking Mrs. Fleming, he said it had to stop. And he tried to make love to her. Then she shot him." "Did you actually see her with the gun in her hand?” Shandy asked. “Be careful, Paula. Think before you speak.” His eyes held hers. He watched temptation battle with fear. At length she capitulated sullenly. “No, I didn’t see her do it 1 was pretending to be asleep because I had to know. But there was no one else here." "If your eyes were closed, you can’t about that.” MalißF glinted In her pale eyes. "You want to protect her, don’t you ? Like Doc. She did it for you, of course. For your money, that is. She needs it.” Paula broke off as sounds came from behind the closed door of the guest room, gruntSf curses, a halfstifled sound between a groan and a yelp as Doc probed (or the bullet in his thigh. “1 think I’m going to be sick,” Paula said. "Try it,” Shandy warned her grimly. “I can take just so much. You pull yourself together." At length the door opened and Ethel came out into the hall. Shandy went to meet her. She was shaking. , 1

"All right?" he asked. “He got it out. We did our best, stopped the bleeding and cleaned out the wound as well as we could. - “What about calling another doctor? Suppose there’s infection?” •1 don’t know,” Ethel said wear- ■ ily. “He said I wasn’t to dare call i anyone. I don’t know. I just wish , to God I was out of this madhouse." _ High heels clicked on the stairs i as Carol came up with a whisper of satin, a wave of perfume. “I i telephoned Helen Thomas,” she , said in a tone of satisfaction. “She was bound to find out anyhow so , I thought it was wiser to get her here and make her see reason.” i From the guest room . Doc i shouted furiously, “Carol! You fool! Now you’ve really done it" When Ethel run back to the guest room to prevent the irate doctor from getting up, Shandy followed Carol down to the library. She whirled around to face him, then, without a trace of her usual languor. "Shandy,” she whispered, “Doc thinks I shot him.” “I gathered that” “Don’t look at me that way! Doc tried to make love to me as though it was a kind of bargain so he wouldn’t say anything about what happened to Roger and Mrs. Fleming. As though I'd done it T think he’s crazy." “But you aren’t,” Shandy assured her. “Calling Mrs. Thomas —that was really clever of you.’’ Carol smiled faintly. /‘She has always been madly jealous of me. Doc won’t dare do anything while she is around.” “What could he do?” “He could cause you trouble," she said flatly. Her maimer had changed. “I . told him we—expect to marry. And he is in love with me." “So we expect to marry,” Shandy said oddly. Carol’s hand touched his shoulder, her arm crept around his neck. "I’ve always understood how you felt about me.” . “Have you?” He looked down at the face so close to his, poignantly aware of the body that pressed against him. "But do you understand how I feel about £ois Fleming? I warn you, Carol—don't touch her again. Is that clear? I’ve kept still so far but I won’t where she Is concerned.” “Shandy!” She sounded bewildered. “Are you trying to blame me—tike Doc—like Paula? Rut I thought you—” __ The doorbell rang.

Hardened brushes may be soaked in raw linseed oil for about 24 hours and then placed in a can of benzine. Work the bristles of the brush until they are separated and the paint will soften so that it can be washed out. Ordinary fiber brushes can be soaked in laundry soda water until they soften. and then washed clean with soap and water. Rag Rugs * Rag rugs will not eurl on the ends after washing, and will also keep cleaner much longer, if a little starch is added to the rinse water.
