POSTAL WORKERS EARN PAY BOOST The arrival of the mailman ;t your door once or each day is an exciting event. In rain (what's that) or shine, he arrives on time With letters from friends or

oies overseas (and'sometimes he brings bills.) But what do you know about him and his work?. Is he well paid for his job? Does he get extra pay for overtime? Have his wages kept pace with, living costs? - 1 ; Postal workers have not had a general wage increase since 1925 and their basic pay scales are among the lowest in government service for the type of work performed. What is being done about it? The House of Representatives has passed and sent to the Senate by a vote of 861 to 1 a bill to increase the salaries of postal workers. It is hoped that the Senate will give speedy passage , to the bill. Thousands of hard-working faithful civil servants deserve it.

SUGAR BOWL OF THE WORLD A century or so; ago, the sugar beet grown in Europe vas the world's chief source for this, important staple. During the first World War, however, beet fields became battlefields.,: and the world turned to the sugar cane plantations of Cuba, where production shot from 2,000,000 to more than 5,000,000 tons a year, and Cuba became the "Sugar Buwl of the World." , .v.

CHAPTER XV "Please do not look so sad." Lolita drew near again, in either hand holding a slender stemmed glass of liqueur cognac. "It depresses me and I do not like to be depressed. Come, I have- always heard that the Americans were good losers. Will you drink, to my success?" Theatrics. Ian's lips curled. Oh, well, nothing mattered now. Smiling, Lolita held forward a glass, which he took and appraised automatically. Then she straightened, lifted hirh her glass. "To the Soviet Repub " Before she finished the word she whirled, quick as the dart of a kingfisher, and hurled the fiery contents of the liqueur glass into the exfoot man's stupid blue eyes. Ian, after a stupined fraction of a second, hurled his glassful at the butler. "Bogti!" snarled the Russian leaping hack and clawing at the side pocket of his coat. Ian was upon hitn in a single bound for he who had held the pistol was clawing at Ute eyes in helpless agony. He would be able to see again in a min.ate, lan knew that, and launched himself on the cursing ex-butler like an enraged leopard. Smirk! Putting his shoulder behind " the blow "he drove his . fist squarely into the Russian's cheek, felt something give. The Russian made no effort to strike back but staked everything on getting his, pistol free from that side pocket.: Ian dealt the fellow another hissing' haymaker that must have made the Russian's teeth rattle for he reeled back under the blow. V (loaded by desperation and infinitely strengthened by the definite1 knowledge t that Lolita, splendid actress that she was, was true Ian. sprang in and put all his strength, behind a terrific uppercut which landed on the point of the Russian's jaw and stretched him senseless and bleeding on the shining hardwood floor.: ; l-.;-v: .U:- ; It was the work of a"; moment to wheel on the half-blinded footman and administer a quietus by bring-; ing down a liqueur bottle on his-egg-shaped skull. ' '.j ' i i . ".Time is . short!" shrieked inner voices.1 ".Catch, Bobkhme!" ; He glanced at his watch great lord, ten minutes, more! Bobkhine and that fatal copy of the treaty must be drawing near.; In his mind's eye he could see the great touring car whirling at break-neck speed over the straight white Hungarian: pike. -: V;'' Bleeding from a. tut hand, he ; whirled to find that Lolita, superblyj Amazonian, had . snatched up the footman's pistol and stood waiting 'quietly, her, f glorious eyes fixed upon his. v - j ';.- , i Where's Bobkhine gone? , She answered ; with a swiftness: and clarity that delighted him, "To Hatvan-yesterday I learied that; a plane will be waiting thejre." "Hatvan? Near the Czecho-Slo-j vak border?" y-i i "Yes." ... "'.: ' ', I "Good lord! That's a good thirtyfive kilometers out of Budapest. Quick. Get a coat and. maybe we can catch him." ;-' !'4 " "Impossible he is too far ahead." Nevertheless she darted off. Meanwhile, Ian secured his own and the pistols of the two Russians before starting for the door. In his car wa3 a detailed road map of Hungary. ' --. , , ' .. Leaving the two unconscious men fcrotesouely sprawled between over turned chairs on the floor of that smart little sitting room, the American, hair over, eyes and tie askew, snatched up his previous brief case, glanced inside and was delighted to see the original treaty safe inside. Then he went bounding down the Btairs. After him ran Lolita von Waldeck, the hem of her luxurious tea gown showing ludicrously from under a heavy cloth overcoat that had a mink collar. ."You'll have to come faster," he called from the foot of the stairs. "Every second counts." , Nodding1, she gathered her skirts garter high and With him darted out into the dark and silent street On the opposite sidewalk a figure lounging under a lamp post started and. when the two dashed around the corner towards Ian's parked OODD BRIDGE , Sunday School at 10:00 a. m.

also. "Can you drive a car?" he panted. "I've got to study a map maybe there's a short cut." "Yes," she replied. . -"Good. . Drive out the Waitzen road and don't stop for man, god nor devil !" , She shot him a look of calm courage and leaped into the driver's seat ol the long-snouted car with the ease of a horn athlete. Simultaneously her foot pressed the starter pedal and the. mot or commenced its d;ep roaring- song. Just then the figure which ' had watched from across the street came running up. The fellow halted, cried out something, and Ian glanced up to recognize, the sinister passion-clouded features of Colonel Maxim SobelofT. "Good-evening," said he, teeth wolfish in the moonlight. "Will you get out and fight? Or must I shoot you down like the dog you are?" "Get to hell out of the way!" Ian waved a furious hand. "See'you later I'm busy now.M Just then Lolita let out the clutch and, like a spurred colt, the automobile lurched off along the cobbled street, The j- B.uigarian rasped a furious curse, and jerked out a pistol, i -; . . ? Just as' the car careened around the corner, a long orange linger stabbed the night and Ian felt a sting in his left shoulder as though a giant bee had stung him.

Ian never forgot an impression he-got of her lovely features set, coat open and the soft lace of her tea gown fluttering like gossamer pennons. "All right," he said. "We can change now." . . , ; With a mighty groaning,, of brakes , she brought the car to a shuddering halt which dug deep furrows in the road and filled the air with the stench of scorched rubber. Barely an instant was wasted in e-schanging positions, then ;Ian threw the car into gear and, driving as he had never driven before, dashed off into the night with, the wind blasting through that ragged hole in the windshield.

MASON ered past like fence palings and the road, lit by the headlight's leaping rays, swayed before him like an uncertain white ribbon. The two-seater shot through one sleeping village after another tornado-like, leaving behind wildly yelping dogs and an enormous pall of dust. Lolita! Lolita! To have her in peace and happiness, unafraid of all men he must win. Like a racing driver. gone crazy he roared along straight stretches and skidded around corners. Ye gods, let him get to Hatvan in time! Once in the wide flat countryside he pressed the accelerator to the floor, urging the great palpitating machine to its splendid best and strained his eyes to watch the road ahead. Suddenly there' appeared a foik in the road, he slammed on the brakes. Ah, Nagy-Kulm already. He swung to the right, racing ever onwards towards Szent and distant Hatvan. Beside him the girl ignored her wildly fluttering skirts, to clutch the door and the handle of the cutout in an effort to brace her slight body against the mad lurching of the roadtiter. Shadowy objects like ambushed monsters seemed to spring at the car now a kilometer post, now a wayside shrine. A dozen times Ian thought, they were lost and all the while the hissing warm night wind tore at his hair with unseen fingers, filled his eyes with tears. All at once he got a queer impression that the car was remaining still while the earth revolved under it. On a straight stretch he shot a swift glance at Lolita. Utterly unafraid she crouched there, blue eyes wide and staring fixedly at the road h,eai The wind he noted, had pulled hers hair back to reveal ears which were small and well-shaped, like the rest of her.- s .- 1 :Oiie hundred kilometers an hour. the indicator said, and lan became confident . that Bobkhine's . fifteen minute lead was being cut to rib bons, when suddenly the road blurred. Damn it! He had forgot ten all about his wound. He must have bled a lot his. whole side felt; wet and cold., He blinked and the careening landscape came in focus again. ' 1 -. : ' 1 - ' "Get the name of the next town," he yelled above the tumult, of the wind. - Ahead shone the lights of 'a car. Hell! This country road was narrow as an old maid's hiind and then to his horror he beheld just ahead a small stone bridge.. If the cars met on that bridge all involved would perish horribly. His driver s instinct warned him it was too late to stop :' a hundred kilometers an hour is not an easy. , speed to handle.,. Then,' forking to, the left, he saw a track descending the low' banks Of a stream. It must be one of those fords arranged to allow .-peasants to water t. their -thirsty little horses.-. How deep, the i water was nor how rough the) bot, torn, Ian could not know, but isk it h-e-niwst, so,-as the fork flashed near, he braked furiously and' turned the wheel, to the left. ' Like a hunter taking a jump, the car seemed to sail off the ground when the' track ' dropped a little then, with the heart-stilling plunge of a i roller-coaster, the two-seater darted, at the darkly flowing water. lan s. grip on the wheel tightened spasmodically as over the runabout shot a sheet of water which, deflected by the windshield, passed over his head. The car staggered like a life boat in a hurricane. Ian summoned all his failing strength and sought to steady the wheel, tie had a fleeting impression of the other car high over head, its occupants yelling like mad. The dripping automobile was back on the road almost before he knew it, for he was feeling very sick indeed. He must keep on. His mind was haunted by a vision of Leonard in be2, pale and helpless, and of, Ilya who loved the boy so. There began a queer buzzing in his bones as he saw the short cut rejoin the main highway. Far ahead glimmered a tail light; another car was going in the same direction. Bobkhine? (To Be Concluded) j CopTrlctit. 1933. kr r. V. W. Mhos PirMIu'4 k Fin Fwtnra Syntluata. lee.

" " " BRITISH MUSEUM'S BOMB I LUCK RAN OUT ON 3RD HIT LONDON (UP)--On SeDt. 18, 1!40, a German pilot dropped a bomb through the roof of the British Musevim, London. It passed through two floors and, failed to p'.plode. Five nights later, through the same hole, less than a yard in width, fell another bomb, a 500pounder, which likewise passed through two floors, and failed to explode. On the third occasion, however, the museum was unlucky. One night a bomb dropped and destroyed 150.000 medical, law ajnd other books. . CHIP IN FOR GI'S WATCH i , LAGRO, Ind, (UP) Pfc. Robert H.

So, when he was repatriated recently, neighbors and friends chipped in for a fund to buy the 19-year-old hero another watch.
