"During his first (0 days as chief executive, President Truman has proved t6 he decisive, energetic, courageous and

loyal to the policies and ideals of President Roosevelt, lie has done av. notable job of relaxing the tensions and hatreds which had gathered around the Roosevelt administration. Co-operation between the legislative and administrative branches of the government are vital to meeting the problems of victory, president Truman has gone' more than half way down Pennsylvania Avenue to. Capitol Hill. Twice he has visited there while the calling list at tne White House is lull of the names of senators and representatives of (both parties. Because he knows them, and they are his friends, it" was natural that he would place men like Lewis B. Schweilenbach and Clinton P. Anderson, with legislative experience, into key administration posts. The wisdom of this has been demonstrated by Fred M. Vinson's success, and that of James F. Byrnes in difficult and thankless administrative posts. Adroitly President Truman invited reactionary Senator Kenneth McKellar, president pro tern of the Senate, to sit in on cabinet. meetings, but refused to appease him when McKellar asked for the scalp of TVA Chairman David Lilienthal. But this era of good feeling will have a i tide blast if unemployment develops into a serious problem, if the volume of turnover of business in the United States is not sufficient to take e&i:epf a 300 billion dollar debt. The world economic and political balanceHs dependent upon a prosperous United States. The vacuum left by the Axis will be filled by socialism if democratic capitalism does not demonstrate that it can offer a better standard of living and more individual freedom than any other system. ..-' '' Definite, detailed programs to carry out the domestic and foreign policies set by Roosevelt must emerge in the next several months from Washington. Cordial relations with Capitol Hill alone can accomplish this. The real test of Truman leadership will come when he has to meet the problems of post-war employment, post-war taxation, post-war monopolies. Billions of dollars of privileges and loot are to be1 had in Washington. A favorable clause here or there, in. a. bill or a contract, 'or a renegotiation; the zeal or lack of zeal in the enforcement of the law all these add up to whether our government functions for the many or the few. . Based oh the first 60 days, the' American people have every reason to expect their president to demonstrate that he is on their side compared to the side of privilege. MRS. MARGARET MENGEDOHT R.

CHAPTER VIII ' Seated on beer kegs in front of a t.My blue painted little inn a quartet of ragged ciyaiiis wore playing a gay and pulse quickening Wss, rendering it as only the gypsies of the Hungarian plain can. At tables set out on the cobbles several well-to-do farmers in high black boots, foot wide leather belts and long tailed shirts puffed at pipes between sips of dark ale. Because of the calm inspection which these brown faced fellows gave him as he rode up, Vaughn instantly decided the alarm could not yet have reached town. Eyes anxiously sweeping the square, he dismounted and bowed, whereupon all three farmers smiled, arose and bowed Hungary is ever a polite and friendly country then a lad dashc-d out of the inn to catch Janos' bridle. A moment later the prtron himself came hurrying out, wiping hands on an apron covering bi.s vast stomach. ' "I am looking for a young lady riding a black mare. You have seen her?" . "But yes, a so beautiful little lady vilh great eyes, ho?" 'She is still in the village?" "No. Excellency. You have missed her. She rode away not long ago with a gentleman." "Gentleman?" Vaughn stiffened a little than, noting an inquisitive pleam in the landlord's eye, he nodilcd carelessly. "Of course, I had forgotten he was to meet us here, Which way did they go?" With a brown, labor gnarled hand, the innkeeper pointed to a row of hills green-blue to the north. "That way, towards the old schloss." i' The schloss! Once more Vaughn saw the lieutenant's hard hawk-like face. "What schloss?" "Schloss Exler, Excellency. But if they have gone there for sight seeing' they will be disappointed it is a poor old ruin. The Turks blew it up in the reign of King Sigismund." "I see Ah, you think of everything." . ..... ..... Vaughn forced himself to delay long enough to take a glass'of'beer .from. tray: presented by a young woman. Alter all, the last thing in the world he wanted to do was to arouse suspicion. . "And what did the ' gentleman look like?" ' .. , The American had prepared himself for a description of San'dor, lion's brother, but to his amazement the innkeeper said, :i "lie was big, so and dark; Not one of our people, Excellency," Then he added hastily, "But undoubtedly a real gentleman." 'S ' 1 "An Hungarian, I suppose?" "No, Excellency. He came from over there." The landlord's thumb indicated the East. "We don't like them much here in Tamasi." "The lady has been gone how long?" "About half an hour, Excellency. The fat man said they would return by noon. Will you wait for your friends-I have some excellent Paluguay for your approval?" A series ' of doubts flooded Vaughn's brain but he made his decision promptly. "No, I will look for them. Very excellent beer, landlord." He tossed the maid a pengo piece and after lifting his hat to ttye three farmers swung back on Janos. "Mind you, have a good luncheon for three ready"" he called over his shoulder. "And put plenty of paprika on the gulyas we'll all be very hungry." Forcing himself to vide at a wall; and to simulate interest in the homely scenes about him, Roger Vaughn reached the upper end of Tamasi, all unconscious that a quartet of rural police were at that some moment hurriedly entering it from below. Once out of sight of the village, Roger Vaughn clapped spurs to the gray hunter and took up a surging, space eating gallop. At the same time he tried to understand this fresh problem. Vaughn didn't like the idea of Hon keeping a rendezvous with some nondescript fellow. Who could he be? Did he play a part in the struggle for the Heart of Jokar or was it a chance encounter? No. On second thought lion's movements, ever since deserting him, had indicated that she was rising with a desperate intent to meet someone. But why during her hour of confession had she told him nothing of this incipient rendez-. vous? Again the old doubts and suspicions came swarming back. Well, in any case he must warn her that One-Minute Test 1. What is the largest quadruped native to North America? . 2. What color is indigo? 3.

the ruins of Schloss Exler were for

her certainly the least safe place in all the countryside. Thanks to the innkeeper's excel lent directions the road was easily recognizable though it traversed a series of pastures in which tre mendously long horned white cattle grazed under the surveillance of village children. Several little girls had woven flower crowns and were now drowsing on the backs of the creatures they watched. Rousing themselves they waved a gay greeting and even tossed a flowery crown to this bronzed horseman who came cantering by so easily. Presently the pastures ended and the ground commenced to climb towards a bold monolith dominating a range of rocky hills. On the far side of this outcrop Vaughn knew he might expect to find Hon. Despite himself his breath came more quickly Hon, strange perplexing little lion. How odd to reflect that just twenty-four hours had passed since first he had seen her careering madly through a sunlit forest. Yet though he might never see her again she would, unforgettably, remain a part of his rife. The first glimpse he caught of Schloss Exler was a single 'crumbling tower -of gray stone,, topped with a Stunted tree, and sprouting moss and weeds from every crevice. "Well, Janos, the Turks surely did a thorough job," the rider commented on catching a clearer vista of shattered walls and broken arches. "Bet they had a tough time taking it, though." Cautiously, he circled the ruins until he gained that side which was furthest from the village. Should any brown uniformed riders come racing up the valley it would be just as well to be headed the other way. On riding towards the remains of a once massive sally port, he perceived that the innkeeper had told no less than the truth; two fresh and distinct sets of hoof marks had mounted the grassy ramp and led into the. sunlight and shadows of this hoary pile of masonry.; ; "Maybe we'd better take our looksee on foot," he decided and accordingly left Janos to crop contentedly at succulent grasses choking the remains of an ancient moat. ; It was among the tumbled, and disjointed masonry of the cas'tle's barbican that Vaughn for a, third time came upon lion's blacVmare and found her looking very tired. The sable coat was- dull with dust and dried sweat and lather caking her bridle reins spoke eloquently of many miles ridden at a sfurious paO.. A few, feet away, and secured by itsi bridle to a bit of carved masonry! a plump bay nag browsed upon the leaves of 'a' young oak sprouting in a tilting yard-'where the mailed knights of King Ladislaus had once vied for that elusive thing called glory, i. , ; ,a .-. . The two animals surveyed jtlie intruder with brief curiosity then returned to their feeding. Vaughn, completely at a loss about what he would find, quickly sought a series of broken stairs in an effort to gain a height from which he might obtain a general idea of the ruins. His heart sank when rooks and daws nesting in the time scarred summit of the keep set up a raucous scolding, but apparently their clamor had alarmed no one save himself. By advancing cautiously along a moss grown ' archers' gallery, Vaughn presently found himself looking down upon what must once have been Schloss Exler's banquet hall. Roofless and with much of its walls fallen, the great grassy rectangle had evidently been used as a sheep fold in recent times. , Roger Vaughn abruptly lost all interest in the ruins because in the center of this sun flooded area was Hon Ga'rdonyi, looking very slim and boyish in her jodhpurs and tight fitting brown coat. But what made an icy vacuum of his chest was the fact that she was clasped in the arms of a swarthy individual with a fat neck and ears. Bitterness such as he had never known to exist left him alternately hot and cold Worse yet, Hon was returning that flabby fellow's caresses, eagerly lifting her lips to his and theft slipping one slim arm about the man's bull neck-. Vaughn knew the stranger was not some relative. There was something definitely possessive about the way his plump and liberally ringed hands crept over lion's shoulder blades. Roger Vaughn's sense of shattering disillusionment increased until he all but groaned. Stunned, drowned in misery, he now was I -GRAB BAGWords of Wisdom , Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle Michael Angela. ".jbAr.

aware of every bodily ache and pt he had suffered during the past twenty-four hours. Then occurred an explanation. Of course this must be her husband. Despite everything he found it hard to believe her anything but essentially good. Yes, that was it! Confound the fellow's proprietary manner. He drew a deep breath and prepared to present him self in the ridiculous lip:ht of a disappointed lover intruding upon x tender love scene. Yes, despite that blue-jowled individual Hon must be warned of the impending peril. Certainly the black mare was Hearing the end of her strength. Quite motionless in the warm sunlight he remained a moment, staring enviously down upon the two who had now seated themselves on a broken arch stone and, with heads held very close together, were now talking earnestly. What an idiot he'd been to let himself fall in love he who had always boasted of his freedom. So, after all, part if not all of her story was a pack of lies. How she must have laughed at him within herself and he thinking himself so clever all the while, so much the master of the situation. But all the same he knew he wanted her now more poignantly than ever. When the fat man in the checkered riding coat once more claspud Hon and pressed a lingering kiss on her quickly offered mouth, Vaughn turned aside and let his eyes wander out of an embrasure. Through it he jrlimpsed the road leading down to Tamasi. How softly blue was the valley; it looked as if seen through a blue gauze veil. Urn, something was in motion down yonder a cow maybe, or a peasant cart No. It was a horseman, tiny as a tin soldier. Then another small figure darted into sight, and another. They were all uniformed and, if the clouds of dust they raised meant anything, riding at a hard hand gallop. "Persistent devils, these Hungarian police," he mused. "Nothing backward about them. So it will be too; bad for my fickle little friend. Guess I've butted in often enough and this time the cops can have her and welcome." As silently as he had come, the weary rider went back down the gallery and descended the broken stairs, but on his way out he perforce passed the mare more ciosely. Um, . she surely looked all played out, this time there was no doubt but that the broad faced troopers would catch their quarry. A prime fool he'd been to ever meddle in the affair. , By astute . calculation Vaughn figured he would have time to rub Janos' tired logs a few minutes in preparation for the new demnda which shortly would be made upon them. He was concluding his Erroom-

jng when a thrush whistled from the brush crowned summit of the barbican, and it struck him how. oddly at variance its peaceful melody was with his own mental discord. Gripped by a strange, intoxicating bitterness, Vaughn swung up into the saddle and started to ride on up the valley when a certain reckless impulse prompted him to see to the end this half played game. Why not learn why and for whom Hon had let him make such an egregious ass of himself? Besides, it would be good sport to see if once more he might not win still another hand from the hard riding rural police. Chuckling mirthlessly, he turned Janos' head towards the valley and rode to meet the troopers. Fervently ho hoped to find among them some trooper who could instantly reedgnize him. What the devil? It would be a nice departure for once to play the hare and hounds in dead seriousness. Lord knew there was exhilaration enough in an ordinary paper chase, but when life and free dom were at stake what a rare thrill! What mattered more than madly pounding pulses and a race for the highest stakes of all? That lion entered at all into his decision he man-like would have denied to his last breath. "Lord," he laughed in macabre merriment, "this is rich! Wonder how many fools have played tag with the cops to let a gal finish bill ing and cooing with a strange gent? Well, Janos, we'll let 'em come close enough to get a good look at us, but not so close that a lucky shot would dust the seat of our pants. Remember, my boy, what that lieutenant said about Yankees?

the usual sugar allowance with light syrup is recommended for peaches, apples and pears. Firm fruit results if corn syrup alone is used, and unless this is objectionable to one's taste, all light corn syrup can be used, preferably in a thin syrup. Dark corn syrup alone is not recommended, but it can be used in small part with sugar, especially with darker fruits, like plums and berries. Saccharine and sorghum are not recommended by Miss Allen for home canning. Finally, if the housewife wishes to can peaches, which are now in abundance on the market, and still has little or no sugar, she can "put up" her fruit without any sugar or with very light sugar syrup, Miss Allen points , out. Heating and sealing preserve the fruit, and sugar is simply a sweetener, she explains.
