RUN-AROUNDS TO SHORTEN STATE ROAD 1 DETOURS Gravel and Stone Surfaces Hold Up Well, Director Williams SaysConsent of farmers to use land upon which to build run-arounds at three bridge projects on State Rd. 1 just north of the Tipton-Hamilton count yline will result in traffic go- # ing straight through, eliminating a six-mile detour within the next few days, according to John D. Williams, State highway director. Maintenance forces are building these run-arounds. The south detour will be lifted about Aug. 11, while the north detour probably will be lifted within a week. In view of the tremendous summer traffic, and even in cases where secondary roads received traffic off other roads closed for paving, gravel and* are holding up remarkably well, the director pointed out. c■ Road conditions: No. 1 (New Albany. Indianapolis. South Bend. Michigan line) —Detour around Westeld street paving: at the main cross street In town, returning- to No. 1 at five miles north of town. Pavement can be followed to near the Tipton-Hamilton County line. There detour to east around three bridges and return to pavement which can be followed to Kokomo. Take marked detour at Kokomo via Bunker Hill to get around construction between Kokomo and Peru. South of Indianapolis detour via Dudleytown between Seymour and Crothersville around construction at upper Muscatatuck River. Detour around const.-uetion south of Scottsburg. No. 3 (Terre Haute. Indianapolis. Richmond, —One-way bridge at Putnamville. Narrow grade at Glenn, three miles east of Terre Haute. No. 6 (Madison, Greensburg. Indianapolis. Oxford)—Closed for paving from south edge of Lebanon to three and three-tenths miles north of Royalton. Lebanon-Indian-apohs traffic use 33 and 1 or 33 and 13. Closed for paving between New Bethel and Ehelhyvill?; detour via Acton. No. 12 (Vincennes. Spencer, Martinsville, Indianapolis)—Traffic drive slow over run-around at Fish Crek bridge construction at four miles south of Fredom No. 15 (Indianapolis. Logansport. Michigan line)—While Marion County is paving to county line, leave Indianapolis via N. Meridian St. cross canal on Illinois St. and proced on Springmill road to detour at edge of Hamilton County line, thence four mlies west to 15. Detour to east at one and one-half miles north of Marion County line account bridge construction. Closed for three miles south of Knox. No. 22 English. Paoli. Mitchell. Bedford. Martinsville. Indianapolis)—Use No. 12 between Indianapolis and Martinsville as No. 22 is closed for paving. Construction south of Bloomington with detour marked. Construction south- of Paoli. AVOID UNTIL COMPLETED. Bridge construction just south of Harrodsburg * No. 37 (Indianapolis. Anderson.

BEGIN HERE TODAY The “Nervous Wreck," an eccentric young easterner who is a fruest at the Bar-M ranch in Montana, drives Sally Morgan, daughter of the owner, over a rough. uncertain trail from the ranch to the railroad station. After several mishaps, they run out of gasoline. The Wreck tries to borrow five gallon* from the occupant* of a passing car. When they refuse, the Wreck holds them up at the point of a gun and forcibly takes some of their gasoline. Next morning they stop at a ranch and meet the foreman. Charlie McSween. who is In a quandary because he has lost his cooks just before the impending arrival of the owner. "Can you cook biscuits, ma'am V asks the foreman. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ‘‘Of course I can,” said Sally. “But I couldn’t wait for them this morning.” "I figured you could make ’em,” nodded the foreman. “Car. you cook meats? I don’t mean plain fryin,' but all kinds of ways?” “Quite i. number of ways,” she smiled. “I bet y >u can do tricks with eggs, like maltin' omelettes and scrambles and things like that.” ”1 can do some tricks,” she confessed. “I bet you can,” he said admiringly, as he arose from the table. “I sure did enjoy that breakfast. If you folks will excuse me for a little while, I've got some things to do. Just set around and make yourselves comfortable. In case you feel like cleanin’ up— ’’ He glanced at the pile of dishes in the sink. “Os course we'll wash the dishes,” said Sally. “We’ll be glad to.” . Charley McSween nodded and sauntered out of the kitchen. Sally looked the Wreck in th eye. “I suppose you thought you had to say that,” she remarked. “Only reason I said it,” he answered, returning her look, “couples touring around in flivvers are supposed to be married.” “Reckon you’re right,” she admitted. “Oh, well, it’s not important. You might bring these breakfast dishes over to the sink. I’ll wash and you wipe.” He was not very dexterous at wiping, but he got through it without breakage. She put an apron on him,

much to his Irritation; but he submitted because she explained that it was a sort of regulation in kitchens. “I don't suppose you've noticed things around here very much," she said, “but this Is a pretty swell kitchen for a ranch. That stove cost a lot of money; look at it. And running water In the sink. There isn’t anything around here that Isn’t high grade. Did you see that other cupboard over there? It's full of china —not crockery, but china. I don’t know where he gets his bacon, but I never saw that quality served out to ranch hands"before. They must live high.” The Wreck wiped the last dish, escaped from the apron and glanced at his watch. “Only 9 o’clock,” he said. “We've got all day to make that train." “I’d clean forgotten,” declared Sally. “But we’U find out all about it from Charley McSween.” Charley re-entered the kitchen presently, tilted a chair against the wall and sat down. “We’ll have a little talk,” he announced. “Better set down." Sally drew a chair for herself, but the Wreck propped himself against the table. He wanted to be ready for emergencies. Somebody might have spread an alarm. “Do you believe in acts of Providence?” asked the foreman, after a moment of thought. The pair from the flivver exchanged glances. "No,” said the Wreck. “Yes,” said Sally. “That makes It fifty-fifty,” declared Charley McSween, “which is a pretty fair break. As for myself I believe in ’em. I’ll tell you why.” He paused long enough to light a pipe and get It going properly, “As I said a while back, we had a Chinese cook here and a Chinese dishwasher. Ordinarily we don’t run to fancy cookin’. But I got that pair of Chinks for a special reason. I’m expectin’ the boss. As near as I can make out from his letter, he‘s about due today. He don’t come often, but when he does he has to be fed right.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

"But these here Chinks jumped on me yesterday. Some of the boys got to foolin' with ’em and scared 'em 'most to death. So they jumped and left me fiat, with the boss cornin’. What was I goin’ to do? You can’t run out and pick up cooks like .jaekrabbits. And when you do get 'em they’re mostly Very plain workers. I said to myself, ’Charley McSween, you’re in a hell of a fix. You ain’t got a cook and you ain’t got time to go and fetch one.' And all the time I was rememberin’ how particular the boss is about his meals.” He spent a few seconds In thought “ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT KEEPING US HERE?” ‘‘Maybe you can see why I asksd you about acts of Providence. Only this morin’ I said to myself, ’Nothin’ but an act of Providence will replace them unutterable Chinks.’ And right then and there Providence steps up and says, ‘Here's a lady that can cook rings around any Chink that ever grew a pigtail, along with her husband who can wash dishes fit for the most particular kind of royalty to eat off of,’ I’ll leave It to you if it ain’t so.” Sally smiled, but the Wreck’s face had a suggestion of grimness. “Are you suggesting,” he asked, “that my wife and I go to work in your kitchen and get meals for your boss?” “You’ve got the Idea,” said Charley McSween. “Meals for the boss—and the boys." "Well, get it out of your head. Nothing doing.” The foreman turned to Sally with a slightly pained expression. “I don’t think your husband grasps It, ma’am. He don't seem to quite lay hold of the situation. Here I am

with the boss cornin’, and no cock. Somebody's got to get those meals. I can’t cook ’em. There ain't one of the boys can cook good enough. They can rustle things for themselves, but they don't know any city tricks. I’ve got to have a cook.” Sally smoothed her apron and smiled again. “It’s too bad,” she said. "I can see what a fix you’re in. You’ve been very kind to us. We’ve had a wonderful breakfast and we'd just love to oblige you. But we happen to be catching a train. We're—going east. In fact, we're really behind our time nqw. So I don't see how we can, Mr. McSween, although otherwise we’d be glad to help you out. Wouldn’t we, Henry?” The Wreck eyed her critically. “It doesn't make any difference whether we would or we wouldn’t,” he said. “The point is, w T e don't.” The foreman drew at his pipe for half a 'minute and stared at the floor. “I’m sure sorry you feel that way about It," he mused. “I sort of figured you were just honeymoonin' around, with nothin’ particular to do, and that you'd pitch in. I’ll pay you good, understand. I’ll pay you regu lar Chink wages. I ain't makin’ any distinction because you don’t happen to be professional to the business.” "Can’t be done,” said the Wreck, with an impatient gesture and another look at his watch. “We happen to be catching a train just now. Speaking of paying, of course we’ll pay for our breakfast.” Charley McSween dismissed the idea with a gesture, and studied the pair with reflective eyes. Then he sighed. “It ain’t for me,” he said, “to go flyin’ into the face of *an act of Providence. I’m a believer in meetin’ Providence half way when she turns up a card for you. I’m sorry —l’m plump sorry—that you, ma’am, and your husband don’t feel like you ought to stay. But'vis’ll make It as pleasant for you as vro can. and we won’t keep you no longer than is necebsary.” Sally rose to her feet w r lth a gasp of surprise and sought the eyes of the Wreck. He was boring a glance in the direction of Charley McSween. “Let me understand you,” he said. “Are you talking about keeping us here, whether we want to stay or not?” “That’s the unfortunate idea,” said the foreman, regretfully. The Wreck laughed nervously. “You’ll be quite busy keeping us;” he said. “Come on, Sally.” Charley McSween unlimbered himself from his chair and stood up. “Toil don’t get it all yet,” he said.

"You don’t either of you understand tqe workin’s of Providence. Now, it seems that when Providence fetched you here, and the lady proved that she could cook, and the gentleman proved he could wash dishes and dry ’em, it wasn’t for no ordinary human being to set himself up to say, ’No.’ So I says to Providence, ‘What are we goin’ to do to persuade these young married folks to take hold of this here emergency job and see it through?" And Providence says, ‘Leave it to me.’ “Now, it seems Providence knows how to operate one of these flivvers. So Providence takes that flivver and runs it down into one of the sheds. Havin’ done that much, Providence conceives the Idea of takin’ off one of the front wheels, which is also done in a workmanlike manner, with no damage to parts. Said wheel, havin’ been removed from the shed, is hid elsewhere, nobody but Providence knowln’ where it was put.” Charley McSween spread his hands with an eloquent gesture. “Now you get an Idea of .he way Providence works,” he said. The Wreck stepped to the door of the kitchen and looked out into the yard. When he came back he was removing his spectacles. "I can lick you,” he said to the foreman. “No. you don’t,” said Sally, as she stepped in front of him. “Not yet, at any rate. Mr. McSween, kindly leave the kitchen. We want to have a little talk about things.” Charley McSween moved hastily toward the door.

Beauty Specialist Tells HOW FRENCH WOMEN GET THIN la P*rt to-day oJd ladies sod fa* women are a thing of the past. Everywhere yoa turn you meet slender, girlish figures. It ha* become neces-ary for smart 'women to reduce because courturiers and dressmakers are only creating models for tbe thin and slenders; also large hips and big busts do not fit in with bobbed bear, which has been to largely adopted, ao that even women who were only piump or slightly over weight had to reduce to keep in style. Anew discovery has greatly helped French women in their search for slenderness. It is the formula of a French physician, who has been able to concentrate in a small tablet called "SAN-GRI-NA," a combination of harmless ingredients which eliminate trom the food (while being absorbed by the system) all unnecessary fatforming element*, thus preventing fatty tissues to form on the body. You can eat all you want white using ”SAN-GRI-NA“ anci still get thin. While “SAN-GRI-NA" is considered a most remarkable discovery to reduce, it is guaranteed absolutely harmless, and i* also endorsed by physicians and patients as a wonderful healthbuilder. Fat men and women report that almost immediately after starting to use “SAN-GRI-NA” they felt healthier and stronger than before in year*.

CHAPTER VIII In Lieu of Chinks The Wreck wanted to follow Charley McSween outside, but Sally had a grip on his arm that he could not loosen without being rough.
