AISNE. RAVAGED BY WAR. REGION s OF PROSPERITY Furthest Point of German Penetration, Rebuilt and Paid For.

France, Aug. 6—The French general staff spoke of the AUne as “The Hinge” during the war. For three-fourths of the opei - atlons on the western front It served that purpose. The farthest point of German penetration, both In 1914 and 1918,! was in the Aisne. whose peninsular j tip reaches the Marne at Chateau- | Thierry. Under the circumstances, it could not but have suffered more severely than some of its neighbors. Indeed, its most inconspicuous clump of wood achieved doubtful fame. Salt Mines in Center. In the northwest lies the industrial city of Saint Quentin with its famous canal and tunnel. In the lower center ar the salt mines of Soissons. Between the two duns the fortuitous Chemin-des-Dames. Tire Aisne is the one department which attests impartially to deeds of bravery of four armies—French, Belgian. British and American. j Though the evidences, both in reconstruction and the lack of it,! are everywhere, M. Gaussorgues, prefect of the department, cheerfully furnished concrete figuers. There were 225,000 families driven from their homes, most of them destroyed; 51.000 homes completely obliterated: 60.000 others damaged; but left standing in whole or in part. 1.238.000 acres out of a total of 1,484,000 in the department rendered untillable; $600,000,000 as the war bill to be paid.

Most of It Paid Happily most of that bill has been footed. But what is even more remarkable Is the fact that the estimates were high enough to more than replace, in each instance. The 225,000 families whom shells deprived of shelter have come back to infinitely better homes than they left. Three-story houses have replaced crumbling two-story affairs. Fine new factories have sprung up where no factories were before. Municipal and departmental buildings are not reproductions of those destroyed, but amazing departures, expressing the latest word in modern architecture. Money Left Over But there was money left over, even so, and this has been wisely spent in public improvements such as elimination of grade-crossings, construction of new highways, sewers, telephone and telegraph lines, municipal parks and playgrounds. and many other things which the Aisne lacked in 1914, peaceful though it was, and fairly prosperous. Beyond this, the Aisne today reflects the same prosperity which characterizes a wide-a Wake France which did not have to pay one penny of its own losses, and consequently has had a chance to forge ahead in the economic campaign which followed the war. Yet traces of the war remain, in striking contrast to the rest. The department is replete with cemeteries and memorials, and near these and in the woods about, the trenches have been allowed to fall into slow decay without the interference of human hands. SMOKERS WARNED TO GUARD AGAINST FIRE Voshell Cites Increase in Grass Blazes Due to Drought. Another warning to smokers to extinguish matches and cigaret butts before tossing them into parched grass plote, was issued today by Fire Chief Harry E. VoKhell. Voshell reported 544 fires during July, compared with 241 last year. The increase of 303 is due largely to grass fires, he said. ‘•The dought has been so extended that it has created a serious fire hazard and every one should use extreme caution that they do not start a blaze.” Voshell warned.

BEGIN HEBE TODAY Through a letter that he receives j from a friend in New York, DAN HORIMER. Hollywood scenario writer and former New York newspaper man, meets ANNE WINTER who has come from Tulsa. Okla. to try to get extra work In the movies. Dan finds her charming and takes a deep Interest in her. She learns from him that he works at Continental Pictures, and she gathers that he Is not quite satisfied with conditions there. She has worked only one day as an extra herself, having been there but a short time, but a few davs after their meeting she gets extra work at Grand United. Her first day there she meets a girl named MONA MORRISON, and immediately likes her. Mona Is living In an apartment with EVA HARLEY, and Anne lives alone, and Mona suggests that the three occupy a bungalow that she and Eva have seen. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOBY CHAPTER EIGHT ANNE WINTER had moved and now was living with Mona Morrison and Eva Harley in the little furnished bungalow on the western fringe of Hollywood. It was a modest place of palegreen stucco, but it was cheerful and well-lighted and “homey;” and Dan Rorimer, contrasting It with Anne’s former quarters, well could understand her enthusiasm for the change. “A place to live in,” Anne said, “rather than mere storage for one’s body and one’s belongings.” And she had added: “Even if it is too close to the tracks to be fashionable, it’s a home at least; which is more than I could say for one room and a kitchenette.” Mona won Rorimer’s liking instantly. She was as vivid as her flaming hair, which was curly and bobbed, and she didn’t look a day over 19, and she was slightly tough in a pleasant, boyish way that he found altogether delightful. She was considerably shorter than Anne, and more rounded, and Dan suspected that Mona might occasion have to pay careful attention to her diet.

He discovered before he had known her more than a few minutes that she was quite a tease and that she seemed to take keen delight in plaguing her friends and receiving their banter in return. Eva Harley he liked, too, but with reservations. She had been neither cordial nor unfriendly in her greeting, but after a brief smile and a murmured commonplace or two had quietly withdrawn from the conversation, and Dan sensed a guarded aura about her that left him a little ill at ease in her presence. She was a striking looking person, though—tall and slender and lithe of figure, and languorous of motion—and crowned almost spectacularly with abundant pale-gold hair. Gorgeous looking, Rorimer thought, at the same time remarking that her mouth was just a little too wide and thin of lip to be beautiful; her cheek bones a trifle high, and marring the oval contour of her face. And he judged that she was older than the other two girls. Anne had said, “Eva’s just a little uncommunicative and mysterious, but I like her—she minds her own business, and that’s saying a great deal.” “It is,” Dan agreed, “for a girl.” “Well, you needn’t be uncomplimentary,” she said with a grimace, and Dan grinned. “Where is she from?” he asked. “Somewhere down south, with that drawl- You can’t fool a Tennesseean.” "Eva comes from New Orleans,” Anne informed him. “Mona says she has been in Hollywood almost three years.” “Doing extra work?” a 9 n ANNE hesitated a little. “Eva hasn't been very busy,” she said. “Mona tells me she sometimes models clotnes in one of the Los Angeles department stores. She has a beautiful figure.” Rorimer thought: “Yes, but there’s something just a little wrong about her. She’s—she’s hard to figure.” And he had the strange thought that Eva Harley ought to have a foreign name and speak broken English, and this, somehow, would make her less difficult of explanation. He thought: “There’s something about her voice; something—disappointing.” It ought to be, he felt, low and vibrant, like a low-strung guitar, and it was unexpectedly high and wrongly keyed, and in disharmony with her personality. Dan had gone over to the bungalow one evening to call on Anne. It was shortly after their removal, and he found the girls busy with some new pale-green curtains which

Anne had that day bought for the kitchen. And it was that evening that he asked Anne about Eva; but first he had been put to work hanging curtains. It was Mona who opened the door for him, and she said, “Anne, it’s the boy friend from New York.” %he said, “Come in, and wipe off your feet and take off your hat; the butler Is off duty this evening. . . . My goodness, you’re all shaved up this evening, aren’t you?” Rorimer said, “Pipe down, nuisance!” and followed her in. “Good evening, Miss Harley, ”he said to Eva, and held out his hand; and the girl smiled as she took it and said, “Good evening, Mr. Rorimer,” and bade him welcome. “You’re just in time to do some interior decorating,” Mona Morrison told him. “Take off your coat if your suspenders don’t show, and come out in the kitchen. . . . What does he wear, Anne—suspenders or a belt?” “How should I know?” Anne asked with a laugh. “Well, you’ve known him almost two weeks, haven’t you?” Dan said, “Suspenders, Redhead —but the better shops call them braces.” “Yeah? Well, down on the farm we call ’em galluses. Did you know I was born on a farm, Dan?” “You’ve never seen a cow in your life.” “Say, I’ve milked more cows than you’ve ever seen! That’s right; I was raised on a farm down near Urbana, 111. And then the little gal went to the big city.” “Chicago? Do you call that a big city?” an u MONA tossed her red head in disdain. “Just another fresh New Yorker,” she said. “Hows the job coming?” Dan asked. Mona said: “All washed up; I was through today. Anne’s still working, though. Isn’t that great?” Dan thought: “And she really means it, too. She gets as big a kick out of Anne’s good fortune as if it were her own.” Mona went on to say that she considered herself lucky. “Nine straight days of work is pretty hot for little Mona.” And in a lower voice that only Dan could hear, for he had followed her out to the kitchen, she added: “You keep your eye on Anne. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got a break.” Rorimer felt a swift elation; at the same time, though, he was aware that he was struggling with a vague sense of uneasiness, and with a question on his lips he hesitated. But Mona informed him in a thrilled undertone: “Garry Sloan noticed her today; he picked her out of the crowd and talked with her. And Anne’s so excited she doesn’t know whether it’s Thursday or Sunday. Goc-h, I don’t blame her! Imagine what Sloan could do. . . Anne and Eva came in then and Mona said nothing more about Sloan; but the matter sat on Dan’s mind, and it remained there beneath the light banter he and Mona

exchanged while he hung the curtains. Later cm he suggested to Anne that they go to a movie, and he named a picture that Anne had said she wished she might see; but she pleaded tiredness and an 8 o'clock call at the studio, and Dan, remarking her preoccupation and feeling curiously unwanted, said that perhaps he had better run along. But Anne looked up quickly at his tone, and her eyes reproved him. “You’re a dear Dan,” she said. “Please don’t mind if I don’t feel like doing anything, will you?” Dan felt a little cheap. He thought: “After all, she came out to Hollywood to get into pictures; not to go running around at night with anybody who comes along.” He thought: “What a big chump I am to complain because she insists on getting sufficient sleep before a hard day’s work!” So he remained a while, and Mona suggested cheerfully that they have sandwiches and coffee, and went out to the kitchen. Eva rose with a faint smile and said, “You’d better let me help you, Mona,” and followed her out. ' Anne turned to Rorimer with a little laugh. “Mona,” she explained, “is almost useless in a kitchen. She cuts the bread too thick for sandwiches, and she doesn’t know the first thing about making coffee.” Eva, she said, was different. “She’s very capable.” # tt DAN said, “Looking at Eva, you’d hardly think she was domestically inclined;” and he expressed some curiosity about her, and for some minutes he and Anne talked in low tones about the two girls whom they could hear moving about the kitchen. “They’re dears—both of them,” Anne said after a short silence. “But a strange pair to be such good friends,” Dan remarked. Anne agreed. “Perhaps that’s why they get along so well—they’re so utterly different. Mona’s so blithe and gay, and Eva ” She paused, and Dan said, “Eva gives one the impression that she hasn’t found very much to be happy about. Do you suppose it’s because she’s disappointed in not doing well in the movies?” “I think there may be something else, too,” said Anne, and Dan felt that she didn’t care to discuss the subject further. “Mona tells me,” he said pres-

POLICE OPPOSE SLASH IN FUND FOR CITY RADIO SII,OOO Cut Will Prevent Full Time Operation, Chief Kinney Says. Serious curtailment of the operations of the police radio communication system will result from the drastic order of City Controller William L. Elder to cut the 1931 budget from $31,000 to $22,000, in the opinion of police officials. j Plans for operating the station on a twenty-four-hour basis, instead of the present sixteen-hour schedule, will be abandoned as result of the slash in funds, Norman Batts, radio director, said. The $31,000 budget was cut to the bone and figured with the understanding that the county pay 25 per cent of the costs, the county since that time having refused to pay any of the cost for sheriff’s cars. Contending the radio communication system” is recognized as the greatest improvement in law enforcement methods which has demonstrated its effectiveness in Indianapolis,” Police Chief Jerry E. Kinney said, “If we operate at all I believe we should run the station twenty-four hours a day.” “By all means the station should operate full time,” declared Charles R. Myers, safety board president, citing the imperative need for sufficient funds. The budget provided for employment of eight men, three additional; anew transmitter at $5,100, and equipment of ten more police cars with receiving sets. Batts declared the present transmitter was given to the city and is about past its period of usefulness. “You have denied us fifty additional policemen. Now you want to cut our radio budget,” Kinney told Francis Coleman, chief deputy controller. Kinney planned to equip four additional sub-station cars to permit the squads to cruise, covering greater territory and abandoning the sub-station plan. ently, “that big things may be in store for you. Here’s hoping, Anne.” At the same time, though, he knew a feeling of injustice that Garry Sloan could do so much for her without half trying, while he, who wished so greatly for her success, could do nothing.
