Indiana newspapers hteve been almost unanimous in their attacks on a proposal of the Republican state administration and the party organization to channel all "news" releases from state departments through the state committee's publicity division. This particularly is true of Indianapolis dailies who bear the expense of Statehouse coverage by reporters who are on the job in the capitol throughout daily offiee hours and many -times, hours after the building is closed for regular business. The "hand-out" system, as proposed by Governor Gates and K. Clark Springer, state G O.P. chairman, would reduce the status rvf tlioeo hirrVilv iroimaA ronnvtm-i! lia nf "lerr Tnon"

I SEE THAT. . Off-the-face hats intensify interest in the eye makeup. Off-the-face hats, now popular with younger women, frame the face and give prominence to the eyes. For this reason eye make-up and the selection of suitable spectacles, when needed for better seeing, take on new importance. Even a little eye shadow, properly applied, will intensify the color and sparkle of the eyes but it will not erase the - tired, drawn look about the eyes that comes from neglect when they need professional ophthalmic attention. Comfortable, unstrained see. ing is necessary for a calm, reposed facial expression, so vital to the good lroks of any woman. If you need glasses and there are millions of women who require such aids for better seeing you will find many shapes of frames and styles of lenses which can be tailored' t'6" ' yrfflf face. It takes a little thought and time to get spectacles that will flatter your fac; and harmonize with your costume, just as it requires a little trouble to pick out Hie hat or select the hairdo that blends best with your personality. But the results are worth the effort.

It seemed that they were friends now . . .

DAISY and Dan were down the drive, the gravel spattering behind them and the trees hid Carly and ' her amazement. "Just like the movies," laughed Daisy. "Where shall we go?" asked Dan. "Does it matter?" ' "Not at all.", So they drove purposefully through the Connecticut countryside in the open car. The sun was 1 warm. They dawdled up back roads and went into Danbury, at last, "We'll have lunch," Dan said. "You order for me and I'll phone George and Carly to meet us at Grand ' Central." j . In fine spirits, they ate and talked. The tension was gone and the emotion it seemed somehow that they were really friends now, as Daisy had hoped. Through the early afternoon, they drove down to New York. They sat way

Take comfort, said one hand to the other, take comfort from the pulse that beats like yours, the good will that finally, and beyond all hurt, wishes you well wishes you all good things. Then there was no more time. They rushed to the station. Halfway down the inner steps, Daisy saw Carly and George and some others standing in a. group between the Information Booth and the train gate. , , "Goodby," said Daisy to Dan. She stared at him unbelievingly for a minute, and he looked back steadily. "Yes," he said, and she knew somehow what he meant. She knew, that is, what goodby meant the complete and final end; a moment in time which would pass and never come again. All time passes, she thought. Everything is
