Stets Chamber of Commerce statistics reveal that about 71 percent of the college graduates in Indiana who trained for the teaching profession actually become teachers. Just a little more than 50 percent who become teachers remain in Indiana whore they received their education. This ao doubt moans that other states offer better jobs. ——lfr—4J Construction, both residential and business is booming in the Decatur area.

One of the best ways to save money for that summer vacation is to trade In Decatur the year around. Your shopping dollars Will go far enough that you can save systematically and have vacation money every year. 0 « Decatur has two assets of which wo can all be proud. Our public and parochial school systems and our great array of Christian churches. Both are Important in the growth of a city. Both our public and Catholic school systems are second to none in Indiana. They operate year after year without much fanfare and turn out young men and women who succeed in many fields of endeavor. Our churches and the fact that a high percentage of our citizens are active church members make a mark of honor, respect and good living on our community which is incomparable in northern Indiana. As long as these two Influences continue on such a splendidly high level, Decatur will oontinue to be the greatest little city in the world. 0 0 There are all kinds of tricks used in politics. Whether they are justified has never been decided. One such piece of political Chicanery, which well could back fire was revealed recently after press stories told that Roger Brannigan, Lafayette attorney And Democratic gubernatorial candidate elected an but one delegate In his home county. Tippecanoe county also is the home county of Tom Johnston, another candidate for the same office. Prior to the deadline for filing, the had agreed to split th< delegation evenly, each filing a Mate of 17 candidates. At a late hour, friends of Brannigan, filed opposition candidates to the 17 agreed on for Johnson. As a result Brannigan got all but one delegate from the home county. Not a single press service told the whole story of the agreement, but only of the apparent Brannigan landslide. We are telling this, not because we are against Brannigan, but merely in the nature of fair play. In all probability Brannigan, himself knew nothing of the trickery and we are sure had he known it, would have put a stop to it.

Mr* Featherstone becomes ill. but refuses to see the ship s surgeon. Vai meets the man that Mrs. Featherstone bad noticed among the passengers—Bruce Harridan—and he is now in the uniform of the ship's surgeon. Vai loams that they will both be working at the same new hospital near Montego Bay after the voyage. She also learns that Dr. Harridan was Eileen s iover and that he had threatened to kill Mr* Featherstone at the time she wrecked their romance. Mr* Featherstone refuses to leave her cabin, and Dirk and Vai frequently dine together. They become good friends but Mrs. Featherstone resents Dirk's attentions to Vai Dr. Harridan tells Vai that he threatened Mr* Featherstone In a fit of rage, and would now like to apologize to her. Vai becomes strongly attracted to Dr. Harridap. , CHAPTER 10 rGHT LINES appeared about Doctor Harridan’s Ups and his dark eyes glowed angrily as he faced Vai. "I'm willing to apologize to Mrs. Featherstone and explain I was in a rage at the time I threatened her. After all,” he raised one shoulder slightly, ”1 can understand why she wouldn’t want me as a son-in-law. My family's g good one and I’m proud of them, but certainly they’ve never been mentioned in *Debrett’ She wanted a social marriage for Eileen. She wanted a title for her too, and Dirk Hanson could have supplied that ultimately. He had everything to recommend him to her except the cash, and she had that” He thrust his hands into the pockets of his uniform jacket “Oh yes, 1 can see why she resented me. I can even understand why Eilefia finally gave in to her. She's a hard-driving woman and completely ruthless. At least," he added, and the tempo of his voice altered, “I tried to understand why Eileen gave in to her. “I think Eileen loved me," he went on quietly. “I was convinced she did. and when I saw that

notice in the Times that she was going to marry Hanson I couldn't believe my eyes. You see until then I'd trusted her eompletely. I’d had sufficient faith in her to know somehow or other she’d smooth her mother down and directly I was able to support her we’d be Carried. But apparently Mrs. : Featherstone got her way and Dirk Hanson nearly got a prospective bride with half a million." Now his voice was rough and angry. "I’m sure he needed the money.” "But couldn’t Dirk have fallen in love with her too?” she suggested. "You speak of him as though he were a fortune hunter." Again he shrugged his massive shoulder* “Well, isn’t he? Frankly I’ve never heard of his doing any real work since be left Cambridge." "He’s been writing books on the folklore of various countries," she said. "That’s why he’s going out to Jamaica.” He gave a short laugh and started to pace up and down the cabin. "You think that’s an important vocation? You think that means as much as our vocation means to us?” “1 don’t know,” she murmured. "Maybe it doesn’t" “Os . course it doesn’t,” he said angrily. "And frankly he could never have made Eileen happy. He’s too self-centered.” She felt angry. She considered his judgment of Dirk unfair. "He’s never struck me as selfcentered. He’s been very pleasant and kind since we started on this cruise.” "But that's his stock in trade, being kind,” he said savagely. “And what has happened since Eileen died? He’s been making up to Mrs. Featherstone. Do you think it’s natural tor ? young man to be so devoted to an older woman, and a trying, bad-tem-pered one at that?" “Doctor,” she leaned forward, "mightn't ha be genuinely fond of Mrs. Featherstone? He told me he lost his own mother When he was very youiig. She may have been a second mother to him." He gave her a hard, angry stare. "If she were aa impoverished old

He had .been pacing the cabin and now he swung towards her |gain. “You must have some Idea. He thinks he’s coming in tor a tidy sum when she dies. And incidentally he won’t have to marry Eileen now,” he added with incredible bitterness. “You don’t think he was in love With her?" f "No,” he said. "If he’d been genuinely in love with her, 1 wouldn't despise him as much as I do.” Vai felt the muscles of her slim body tighten. "You’ve no right to say that You don’t know that he Wasn’t in love with Eileen." "But 1 know they weren’t," he said. “She wrote me a letter.” •Telling you she wasn’t in love with Dirk?" He paused. "Not exactly. She wrote me that she was terribly fond of him and that he understood. But understood what, by heavens? That she and I had been desperately in love? Or that she could change her feelings as easily as she could change one gown for another?" "1 don’t think Dirk would want to marry a girl who didn’t love him," she said quietly, not knowing why she should be upholding Dirk, when it seemed an her sympathies must be with this other man. Besides, she didn’t want to quarrel with him. Not only were they going out to Jamaica to work in the same hospital, but she liked him. T’m sorry you haven’t liked my comments on Hanson,” he said finally. "Frankly, 1 hate his guts." She rose. “But 1 like Mr. Hanson.” ’ Her blue eyes flashed and she said it almost as a challenge. Again there was that awkward, hurtful pause. He shrugged. “Os course, it’s entirely up to you whom you like or dislike. You mentioned you’d like a drug, rn go to the dispensary and get it for you” ffo Be Continued)

Homemaking Tips By Miss Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent For extra dividends of light, give lamps a thorough cleaning this spring. As much as 20 to 50 percent of a lamp’s lighting efficiency can be lost by dirty, dusty bulbs, diffusion bowls and shades. Thorough cleaning, followed by regular care, is a* important to a lamp's efficiency as it is to its beaut/. ft Diffusion bowls and bulbs should be washed, but bulbs should be washed carefully so that the stem end does not get wet. Moisture on the metal socket may cause a short when it is connected. p Shades should be dusted regularly and given more thorough cleaning as soon as they become soiled. Paper shades can be cleaned with art gum. Parchment shades should be cleaned with a clean cloth wrung from warm, sudsy water, and hand sewn silk shades can be successfully washed if done with a soft brush in lukewarm soap suds, rinsed thoroughly and dried quickly. Always remove the cellophane wrappings from a shade before it is used. Heat and atmosphere cause cellophane to shrink, which can warp the frame and wrinkle the shade. In addition, the cellophane is flammable and does not protect the shade from dust, as is sometimes thought. Plastic covers over lamp shades should be avoided, as they are flammable, cut down on a lamp’s efficiency and detract from its appearance.
