Indiana’s <J. S. Senator Homer Capehart voted for passage of the natural gaa bill, which takes price control out Os the hand* Os federal authorities. Only a few months ago.

Indiana high school basketball coach, who a few years ago mentored his Milan basketball team to a alate championship, is leaving Newcastle ■high school. During two years at the latter school. .Wood has had only ordinary success. After his faat at Milan, be could have had about any coaching job inludlana.

’""school system of the consuli<6* . tlon Because of the statute, it it« necessary that candidates for the board positions become candi datos of either the Democratic or Republican party and run as candidates in both the primary eleclion, .and general election if necessary. _« A Almost daily, new contestants enter the Democratic primary election contests and it appears as if this spring’s primary election would be one of general interest. Candidates havp several • weeks yet to file their intentions and several possible candidates are still canvassing their political friends before announcing. In addition to the election, there will be state and national nominating conventions and then the November general ejection for county, state and national officials, which should make for lots of interest for several months for those who like politics. and who in Indiana doesn’t 1 ? 0 0 Sen. fLyadon Johnson, who at least in title is Democratic majority leader in the ,U. 8. Senate has placed himseH and' his own selfish interests above his connAry and his party in fathering the natural gas bill through the Senate. Congress is a month old, and with many important measures stacked in various committees. Sen. Johnson placed the gas bill. Which tages control of natural gas at the wells out of the control of the JCC, flr-st on the calendar. Amid charges of scandalous amounts of money being spent by Texas and Oklahoma oil and gas interests, the measure passed. Perhaps Johnson's action solidified his personal status as far as Texas is concerned, but there are fprty-aevea other states in the nation, and it is doubtful jf he made many friends for himself nationally or for the Democratic party. Such ap actiou should be followed immediately by a complete reorganisation of ghe Democratic party, in congveas; but it won’t. The Senate doesn’t operate that way. In that body, there are certain special rules and precedents, and these Ake almighty as far as senators are concerned. Some Senate antics, if Ujey weren't so tragic for the people, would be comic.

SYNOPSIS Mewly married Lora accompanies her husband, Wade Tyler, to his family home on Staten island after nursing him fautk to health from a serious wound he Received while fighting ss a Union gpldier. She meets Wade’s autocratic mother. Amanda Tyler, and Jemmy, son of Wade and his dead first wife. VJirginiS- Wade forbids Lor* to walk * the hill near the house but offers no explanation. Amanda attempts unsuceessfuliy to forbid Jemmy to call Lora Lorie. Another rift develops between the bride and her mother-in-law when Amanda informs her that Wade Is still fa love with Virginia. CHAPTER FIVE AS LORA went down the hall she saw the library door closing 1 jyst ahead of her and she pulled it open and walked in. Here, too, the abutters had been drawn and portiers swung across the Windows to shut out any semblance of day* But at least a fire had beep, lighted and a lamp burned in the center of a table. Jemmy might well have beep aaves-dropptng, for he looked guilty when he saw her face. He picked up a book and scurried to the red dam ask sofa before the hearth, where he curled up pretending to bury himself in the Story. Lora went straight to the portieres and flung them aside. Then she opened a window, thrust back the shutters and fastened them be.{pre closing it again. The outside world was bright with sunlight Jemmy ceased his pretense of Beading and came softly, to stand beside her and look into the brilliant outdoors. A few sparrows bopped about the neglected garden and, as he and Lora watched, a small rabbit scuttled across the ,<kive disappeared in a clump of bushes. Jemmy’s voice was no more than a whisper. •Don't you suppose God is out Hlere, too, even on Sundays?” he asked. Lora looked down at him for a moment Then she put her two hands on his shoulders, and this tigne he did not wriggle away. • “Let’s go out there and see,” she said. "Let’s go right away and find out." He looked at her with a mingling of fear and hope in his eyes. Then be nodded solemnly. They put o» their coats and meat outside without a word to anyone. Jemmy wore a striped pocking eap. a red muffler and rid mittens which brightened him np considerably. He had turned Wo a surprising dynamo of excitement and Lora tried to quiet tata by making the adventure seem as natural as poaribfa. the wanted him to have no sense of WwyaSteiiy: aJk-'H thia- Tfapy bjs- • Ihfa fa A- WMH».

longed outside on the bright day ' of grace that had been given them i before full winter set in. She did ’ not hold with any notion that re- ' spect to the Lord could only be . shown through moping indoors. ; "Where shall we go?” Jemmy > asked when they had left the ■ driveway behind them. i "You choose,” Lora said. Isn’t ; there some special place you know that you’d tike to show me?" He skipped along beside her, a bundle of nervous energy,' and I there was a look about turn both : speculative and purposeful. Al- : ready he had turned along Dog- • wood Lane in the direction she had . taken yesterday. i *1 know a place," he said. "A plqce up these in the woods." Halfway up the MU ?uid aroqnd i a turn in the path they came unexpectedly upon a clearing. Here sloping banks of brown grass led l down to a small lake. On the far side birches graced the edge ot (he > still water, their reflection white and pencil slim. Beyond was another opening where the path picked up again and wound uphill. With blue sky above and the sun high and golden, the surface -of the little pool had a yellow shimmer which contrasted with drab sirsoundings tike an amethyst set down upon a brown carpet. Jemmy mn -to -the edge of the water, studying its quiet surface with a gaze so intent that jhe seemed to forget her presence. The pond was an Irregular oval n shape, curving to fit the sloping banks, and net far from where Jemmy stood natural stepping stones led to a larger mound of rock that rose dry and brown well out in the water. Lora went to stand beside him. "What a. heavenly quiet spot It must be beautiful In spring when the woods are in leaf and the grass is green. It’s so still and lonely and secret. A lovely place to dream.” For some reason Jemmy shivered. It’s awfully deep,”, he said- " Higher even than my father's head. But when there’s a breeze the water’s not tike glass the way it is now. You sliould see it when there are little moving crinkles all across IL Mama said it looked lilte quicksilver then." Moving quietly, with the strange tenseness upon him, he edged along the left bank of the pool to where the stepping stones began, his attention fixed upon the big rock. “Sometimes turtles come out on ths rocks in the sun and you can catch them. All my turtles came from here ” •u»BM OF'iMTHMswr wr-'fflF'WHawv, Distributed b> Kinx Features Syndicate.

The top two teams will be eligible to participate in the Fort Wayne district contest to be held May 5 at Columbia City. Who Soys it's A Man's World? LONDON (INS) — It happened during the Royal tour of Australia, but H. U. Willink of Cambridge University just got around to telling it now. ’ A young married couple were presented to the Duke of Edinburgh as “Mr. and Dr. Robinson.” When the Duke raised an eyebrow, Mr, Robinson explained that his wife was a Doctor of Philosophy and "much more important than I am.” “Ah yes.” said the husband of England’s Queen, "we have that trouble in our family, too." Great Lakes / CHICAGO (INS) — More than two-thirds of the nation’s inland transport is carried on the Great Lakes, a survey points out.

There was so strained a note in ■ his voice that Lora glanced at him i anxiously. Perhaps he should not | come here where he had been happy with his mother. She wished she could find some way to comfort him, and knew helplessly that there wase no way. Like herself, Jemmy could only wait for the healing of time. He turned suddenly toward her and she saw how pale he was and . how the blue of his eyes had darkened. His lips trembled and he had to tighten them fiercely before he could speak. “Do you think I killed my mother?" he demanded. Lora gasped and stared at him, shocked into silence. “She couldn’t swim," be said, looking back at the water. “She fell into this pool and was drowned. And maybe it was my fault Maybe 1 killed her." •! Lora found her voice with an effort. “Os course you 'didn’t Jemmy! Why should you ever think such a foolish thing?" “1 got my feet wet when I ! shouldn’t have,” he went on, his i tone dull. “I catch cold real easy, so Mama put me to bed and she stayed with me reading most all day. But in the* afternoon she wanted to go for a walk, so she said she would come up here and see if she could find me a new turtle. Because King Arthur had died and I thought Guinevere was lonely; But when the Wind blows and those rocks get wet and mucky from the pond, they can be awfully slippery. So that’s what must have happened. She was trying to reach for a turtle when she fell off the big rock into the deep part. She never tame home. And after a while Papa went to look for her." He stopped desolately and Lora dropped to her knees and caught him to her, muffling his words against her breast “Don't," she whispered. “Jemmy dear, you mustn’t ever, ever think such a terrible thing again. If she slipped, then it was the slippery rock that was to blame—not anything way back like your cold, or even you wanting a turtle." He pushed away from her, but not fiercely as he had once before Now he wanted only to search her face, perhaps to find in it something that Would tree him from . secret torture, make him believe. But even as she looked at Mm she thought in pity of Wade coming up through these wqods to find Virginia ... No wonder he had not Wanted Lora to come here.
