His car is fast ami Hearne has been one of the Season’s most consistent performers. In the champion ship races Eddie placed in all but two. the Indianapolis 500 and the Washington Birthday sprints at Los Angeles. He finished third in the championship, with 1399 points to r.oscoe Sarles’ 1980 and Tommy Milton’s 2230. In the ten races in which

he finished winne- -

asleep.

“Let's play house,” he suggested. ; "You can be mother and I’ll be father,; and we can both take care of the baby." Norman longed to lay his hands upon the doll, but somehow he didn't like to ask. He was afraid that Bessie would think he was a sissy hoy. The doll seemed to snuggle right into Bessie’s neck, and Norman suddenly felt lonesome. It was almost as though he was jealous of Bessie "Yes,” the little girl answered his question, "1 like to play house.
