r p H E UNlTEiD STATES has made progreee and developed f r o m a

raw pioneer country Into the grand-est nation on earth, largely be-cause of the spirit of enterprise. I ts people were not satisfied with what they had, but were constantly looking out for something better. They always sought new oppor-tunities, new ways to produce mer-chandise, and Improve existing con-ditions.

We need the eame feeling in work and business In our home town. We need that desire for new opportuni-ty, tha t constant search for some-thing better, tha t effor t to give greater satisfaction to the public, that desire to produce superior things, tha t resolve to obtain great-er advantages for the home town. A community where that spiri t exlste will develop the same as our country has.

F I S H STORIES

IS IT THAT stories about the fish that people catch are

viewed with some doubt, and that improbable tales of all kinds are often described as "fish stories"? Does the pursuit of fish tend to make people un t ru th fu l?

Fishing seems to stir people's emotions so that perhaps they do not see everything: In Itf true realletlc light. The man who brags about the f ish he has caught, or almost caught, does not usually mean to tell any un-truth. More likely he Is so stimu-lated by excitement that every-thing looks big. Though his basket may not be so full, the thrill of the adventure may have so stirred his mind t h a t he forgets about the fish he didn' t catch, and the ones he did get look bigger and more num-erous.

People may see their f ishing ad-ventures in an exaggerated light, but It is good for them to have these pleasurable experiences. I t comforts them in the monotony of ordinary toil. They shoidd be par-doned if their stories seem slightly stretched.

Many years ago walking was quite a fad. There were hiking parties which covered considerable dis-tances. Then there was at one time a fad for pedestrlanlsm. The per-formances of noted walkers were admired and Imitated. People not merely walked out doors, but there were walking contests In halls, and many people paid-admission to see famous walkers perform. They dis-cussed how walking ability could be cultivated, and people took pride in their walking powers. The ability to walk is a valuable possession.

Miss Delchelbohr, upon hearing a faint cry over the telephone for help, sent police to a Wyandotte home where three persons had been overcome by carbon monoxide gas. Rushed to the hospital, all revived.

Miss Knudson summoned her supervisor, Mrs. Blaske, when she heard the shout, "This place is be-ing held up," over a filling station telephone New Year's eve. Mrs. Blaske called police, who found the station a t tendant , Fred Andrus, had been severely beaten by a bandit. He was removed to a hospital and re-covered.

With the government spend-ing huge sums of money to foster the development of rubber projects In fa r off places and wlih much of Michigan sandy land, well adapt-ed to the growing of milkweed, it seems that a modest sum might be used to good advantage In de-veloping this very promising source of rubber supply, located so near the great rubber consuming area of the Middle West.

As the Editor Sees It Private Opinions Publicly Expressed!

Tne Cassopolls Vigilant point* out that the Gallup poll reported in Sunday's papers showed that only fifty per cent of the American voters know the name of their con-gressman, and it is worthy of note that nearly seventy per cent of the people living on farms and In towns under t e n thousand population know who their congressman Is, while less than twenty-five per cent of those living In the larger cities can name their congressman. Farm-ers were best Informed as to the political affiliation of their con-gressman, which confirms our pre vlous belief that rural America votes more Intelligently than does the mass population of our cities.

I t has been reported, although not officially that Editor Murl H. DeFoe of the Charlotte Republican-Tribune will be a candidate this fall for the state senate from the 15th District to succeed Senator Herman H. Dignan of Owosso. Mr. DeFoe previously served a term in the state senate and a t one time waa secretary to Governor Chase S. Osborn. The people of the 15th district conuld not find a better or more capable man for the Job. He Is one of nature's noblemen.

Clinton County Pomona Grange has taken a. f irm stand against the proposed union labor racket b^ adopting the following resolution:

Inasmuch as the CIO Is work-ing hard to organize the farmers and then tell them what to do— Therefore, Re It Resolved: That t h e Clinton County Pomona Grange oppose any effort of the CIO to link the farmers with the labor union; and that the Presi-dent of the United States and oar congressman be asked to do all In their power to stop this labor union r acke t

Kent County Pomona and many other Granges has adopted similar resolutions. Grangers are showing that fhey know what they are talk-ing abou t

A recent change of government In France places In high power a man who favors close co-operation of his country with the Nazi con-querors. T ils event casts a dark shadow over the war prospects. It Is possible that the Nazis will get the aid of many powerful French warships, also of bases In Africa that they need. If the Nazis get those things, it will be a tough job for the United States to send its supplies and men to the flghtlng| front*. Open warfare with that government may be the result. The American people will feel keen re-sentment if the government which claims to represent France, but which in reality bows in sub-jection to the Nazis, shall go back on the friendship of France and America. Our country sent mil-lions of men to France, who helped save that country from German con-querors. Now if the government of France goes back on its former allies, the wrath of America will rise very high.

Pertinent comment from Char-lotte Republican-Tribune: "Grand Rapids "Clubs' have announced that thev propose to test the action of the voters of that city with re-gard to the sale of ~pirltous liquors on Sunday. They contend that they are above any legal action by the city; that they are created solely by an act of the Liquor Control Com-mission and therefore are not amen-able to Grand Rapids attitude or authority. This is a foolish action as no liquor commission would think of reversing the wishes of a com-munity as registeied in a semi-official referendum such as was held In Grand Rapids. There Is no authority above public opinion, especially in the liquor business. The 'clubs', many of w'hich would have a difficult time proving their status had better skip it."

TRUTH TELLING CHILDREN

r p H E NEWSPAPER funny man has a crack about the woman

who was asked if her children told lies. Thc reply was that they were more likely to tell the truth at inappropriate times.

Children have a certain sincerity which often blurts out oome very true remark at some unfortunate

.time. The parents may feel it neces-sary to be very polite to some bore-some neighbor, but the outspoken kid may reveal to that neighbor the unwelcome fact that the parents do not enjoy the society of that person. This frankness of child-hood may be considered a virtue. While it is most admirable to speak the truth, yet the people who say just what they think to everybody pile up a heap of trouble for them-selves.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

You have to give in order to g e t Those who give service and co-operation to their home town get popularity, and get better chances of work and business success.

When you do things for your home town, you do them for your-self, since our "prosperity and wel-fare depend upon the success of the home town.

The people who ask for things are more likely to get them. When you advertise your goods, you ask people to come and look a t them, and they always do BO.

MAIN STREETS OF U. S. DOMINATE AMERICA

SOMEWHERE I have read n statement to the effect thai the Main streets of America are more power-ful than thc Groadways. That is very, very true. The hard, horse-sense of our Main streets dominates America. From them are recruit-ed the larger proportion of our col-lege students, a great proportion ot our industrial and political leaders. From the Main streets are elected a trifle more than 50 per cent of our representatives In congress.

Progress is found on our Main streets quite as much as on our Broadways. The hitching rack nnd watering trough of a generation ago have given place to the automobile parking place, the gas station and the garage. The kerosene lamp has been replaced with the electric light bulb. The w a s h j u b In the kitchen for the family Saturday night bath is no more. In its place is a modern bathroom. Every convenience that Broadway has known is also found on Main street. There are a larger number i. automobiles per Main streit homes than per Broadway homes.

Yes. there is progress on Main street, but with the advance in ma-terial things there has been retained that hold on cultural and spirltjal things which makes the Main street perspective so different from that of Broadway. Main street gives seri-ous consideration to the problems of life and of the nation. Its social life is built around the school and the church. Broadway is largely frivo-lous. It? social life is that of the night spots, the bright lights and the country clubs. It is not easily brought to a serious consideration of national or governmental problems.

The Main streets of America rep-resent the future of the nation. They have the virtue of progress, without the frivolities and the bright lights. From them comes most of the sane thinking of the nation.

FARMERS' REACTION TO AID PROGRAM

ON A RAILROAD TRAIN between Chicago and the West coast, I had. among others, seven farmers as fel-low passengers. Four of them got on at Chicago. One was from Michi-gan, one from Wisconsin and two from Illinois. One got on in Iowa and two, one from Missouri and one from Kansas, boarded the train at Kansas City.

Of the seven, five were definitely opposed to government bonuses to agriculture, although four of the five were accepting government pay-ments. The farmer from Wisconsin was not He was operating a dairy farm and was bitter in his denunciaA tion of the government's effort to in-duce American peopto not to eat cheese so there might be a greater supply for England. The Wisconsin cooperatives had spent a million dollars in an advertising campaign to create an increased market for cheese.

The man from Iowa expressed the views of the five opposed to govern-ment payments:

"Farmers are not mendicants any more than are merchants." he said. "Some farmers fail at farming be-cause they are not capable farmers. Some merchants fail at storekeep-ing because they are not capable merchants, but the government does not subsidize merchants because of the failures. As farmers we want a protected American market. We do not want to compete with farm-ers in countries with a much lower standard of living than that of Amer-ica. That protected market and new markets, through the development of the scientific application of agri* culture to Industry, is all we want. With that we want to stand on our own feet. The government should save the more than a billion dollars a year now being paid as farm bonuses."

The two farmers who favored the bonus plan were equally definite in their insistence of the necessity of its continuance.

"The farmer." said one, "is en-titled to a standard of living he can« not achieve without government help. It is what I get from the gov-ernment that makes it possible for me to make this trip to California, and my wife and I are entitled to such a Irip."

Did those seven farmers represent a cross-section of the farmers of America? I do not know. I give you the story as I received it and without comment, other than if it does represent the attitude of a majority of American farmers, the billion dollars would aid materially In financing the war.

PROFITS AND PRICES IN WARTIME

THERE ARE SOME THINGS thSt cannot be normal in war times. It is not normal for our boys to be dying on the battle fields or to be serving their country all around the globe.

Divorce is the hash made out of domestic scraps.

SUDDEN emergencies must be expected in wartime. The important thing is to be ready —to know what to do.

One of the first rules to fix in your mind is: Leave telephone lines at free a* possible to speed the work of rescue and defense.

In black-outs — during air-raid alarms and other local emergencies — you add to public danger if you use your telephone needlessly. You may clog the lines and

hinder the efforts of the fire-fighten, police and rescue squads.

In any time of public emergency, use your telephone only for vital messages.

I think, now that we are Just leaving the tropics, that I have discovered their secret. The tropics are the eomilete opposite of the temperate c' 'mate8, such as we have in Mich.gan, in two respects.. First, all things which are a pBvtj of nature flourish and bloom luxuriantly, almost savagely. Flow-ers. grass, trees, vines—these things exult In thb tropic heat, rainfall, sun. But man, and all things made] by man, have their newness, the driving force, the will to endure distilled out of them by this same heat, rain and sun. Houses become shabby, old before their time, and so it is with men In the tropics.

Sugar hoarders can't sweeten up Uncle Sam.

When the consumer registration period arrives In Michigan May 4 to 7. each family will be required to declare the amount of sugar stocks on hand. Failure to declare the accurate amount will make a citizen liable, upon conviction, to a fine of $10,000 to 10 years' 1m-prlwonment, or both.

How the hoarding penalty will work Is one of the questions a lot of Michigan people would like to have answered. There are reports of persons who have hoarded as much as 1.000 pounds of sugar, an amount which would be sufficient accord-ing to government rationing to meet ihe needs of a family of four persons for nearly 10 years!

A family of four will be per-mitted to use four pounds every two weeks. The maximum stock per home Is six pounds.

All retailers and wholesalers I must register at a local public high I school April 28-29, and sugar sales will cease Aprll 27 to May 6 or 6.

Transportation, not scarcity of sugar. Is said by the government to be the determining factor for sugar rationing a t this time.

•sinking of freight ships by enemy submarines, plus a growing need to limit railroads to war shipments, sre responsible for a shortage of supplyv

This Tire Rationing Rationing of automobile tires,

whether new tires or recapped used tires, has not pinched the average family in Michigan yet. However, according to the best advice avail-able at Lansing, only a miracle dis-covery by Home chemist will save Michigan workers—farmers, ln-duatrlal workers — f r o m severe ^ - p o r t a u o n hardship by 1943 and

New tires can now be obtained only by a very restricted group of persons, and the quota for cach county Is so small each month that tew persons have the courage to file an application. You must be a physician, a police officer, fire-man or someone whose business, has recognized urgency to the pub-' lie welfare. |

Less Family Driving

The "B" tire recapping list In-cludes industrial workers at war plants and farmers who depend on their passenger cars to transport farm supplies—seeds, etc.—and who do not have a truck.

The average citizen is plainly out in the cold. When his present rub-ber tires are worn out, he must depend on getting a used tire—or ^Ise!

While the average automobile In Michigan has tires good enough to last out the summer, family trans-portation must come generally to an end by fall or winter unless rubber chemists come to the res-cue.

Ford Is Experimenting From Dearborn comes news that

the Ford Motor company has "dis-covered" how to make a tire that requires only one-sixteenth of the rubber used normally in tire manu-facture.

Tests are now being conducted. Fabrics are used chleflyx If the Ford! processed tire Is found to be prac-Mcal. It will extend by many months the driving expectUlon of millions of American families.

Fabricated Tires A rubberless tire is also being

studied by the Goodyear Tire and Ruober company. Officials have re-vealed that fabricated tires, made entirely without rubber, are being given road tests toda/ .

Instead of synthetic rubber being made available to civilians, much of It may be required by our allles-1--Britlsh and Russians—for their own military needs.

Hope that the situation will be| cleared up soon is declared by W a r Production Board officials to be wishful thinking, not Justified by t he , facts.

J . P . Buckley, acting director of the "Pontiac Plan" for the state highway department. Is of the be-lief tha t Americans a re going to continue to kid themselves until President Roosevelt Informs them of the rubber emergency. Living | habits are not changed readily, jhe concludes.

More Shopping a t Home A new kind of isolationism may

result from this scarcity of rubber tires, changing living habits of Michigan families very noticeably as the months go .by.

People will shop a t home; travel less to nearby cities.

They will take vacations close to, home: travel less to nearby states. Summer cottages are In demand; co-operative delivery of food Is being planned for lake resorts. Michi-gan's tourist business should be good this summer at hotels and cottages; just fair for roadside taverns, cabins and Isolated spots.

People are going to get better acquainted with their neighbors— especially the man who has an automobile with good rubber tires!

Above are shown: 1—A healthy soybean leaf; 2—Symptoms of oltrogen starvation; 3—Lack of potash.

LEGUMES that are starving for plant foods reveal their distress

by losing their healthy green color and developing white spots around the edges of the leaves that spreod over the entire surface. But unlike starvation in human beings, this ail-ment is much more frequently fatal,

"for the leoves turn yellow and die.

The three essential plant foods most needed by legumes, as by other crops, are nitrogen, phosphor-us and potash.

In general, slow growth, smaller plants and reduced yields are the result of nitrogen deficiency.

Phosphorus deficiency causes slow growth, small and under-developed plants.

Of all starvation symptoms notice-able in legumes, those of potash hunger are the most easily recog-nized. Irregular while dots or mot-tled patches appear around the leaf edges. These finally merge, forming

a continuous yellowish rim around the tip.

Among things to watch in particu-lar species of legumes are the fol-lowing, according to the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee:

Soybeans. A pale green to yellow-ish-green color indicates a lack of nitrogen. When potash is urgently needed, a "measles-like" mottling occurs, forming a yellowish band along the sides and tip of the leaf.

Red Clover. Potash hunger starts witlra series of yellowish or white dots around the tip and sides of the leaf. The entire margin of the leaf becomes yellowish and then dies as the condition spreads to the centcr.

Alfalfa. When symptoms appear the plants are in desperate straits for nourishment. In general these follow the trend in other legumes. The discoloration starts as small dots; then it involves the entir'* leaf margin and is followed by death of the tissue.

CHICAGO.—As thc wartime draft and defense Jobs take increasing numbers of hired hands, Midwest farmers are faced with a labor prob-lem and the task of producing heav-ier crops on fewer acres, a state-ment of the Middle West Soil Im-provement Committee joints out.

"Thousands of farmers have al-ready learned that the solution io this problem lies in following an intelligent soil improvement pro-gram," the stotement declares. "Experience throughout the Middle West has shown that even thc most productive areas on the average can be made to yield from 10 to 20 per cent more through careful soil treatment.

"Effective soil improvement com-prises a few basic principles. These include crop rotation, the raising of legumes and thc use of fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.

"Experience has proved that farm-ers can expcct dividends in the form of increased crop yields and crop values when they supply the soil with adequate plant food.

"The type and quantity of fsrti-lizer will depend on a number of fac-, tors. The average farmer's knowl-edge is based largely on experience —nol on laboratory research—no matter how long he has tilled the land. But he can turn !or advice to his county agent or the agrono-mists at the slate college."

Yes, It won't be long until sum-mer comes with Its many fine days for driving on the open road—days when you and I and the other fel-low will all climb Into the family car and gel out, days on whldi we think we shall not have an accident because of the fine weather.

But do you ki.ow that In 1941: Over 84 per cent of all fatal high-

Knowledge of Plant Foods

Is Aid in Rebuilding Soil

CHEMICAL term; such as ni-trogen, phosphorus and pot-

ash seem a bit dlfQcult (o under-stand, don't they?

But as a matter of fact, they are no harder to grasp than many other new terms which wc of this generation who live cn or necr farms have had lo learn. And once we learn what job each of the three major plant foods per-forms, then we shall be sble to more succcss.'ully treat growing crops for p'.ant food hunger sign:, and rebuild soil fertility.

What are these jobs? Nitrogen encourages growth,

builds protein and develops thc fleshy portion of roots and fruits. Phosphorus hastens the ripening of seed and favors early maturi-ty. Potash is the balance wheel, enabling the crop to make better use of the other plant foods. It likewise develops resistance to disease and Improves quality.

"Some hopes you've got, mister," she said, sad'.y. "Although I ain't lived 'ere long, I can tell you the people here never return anything!"

COVER CROPS KELP MIDWEST WIN WAR

ON SOIL EROSION CHICAGO.—Cover crops as •

weapon for winning the battle of soil erosion are being used at a rate that has increased the area planted to legumes by 9,700,000 acres In seven mlowestern states in the past 20 years, according to a statement made public here by the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee.

"Farmers know that In legumes they have crops that will deposit nitrogen In the soil and add to its supply of organic matter. They are coming to realize, however, that leg-umes must be reinforced by intelli-gent soil management such as the use of fertilizers high in phosphorus and potash.

"Legumes require a good diet ol phosphorus and potash. If this diet Is not provided by fertilization, the legume crops may use up the soil's supply of these two plant foods."

, MINERAL DEL

Mineral oil, now widely used as a corrective for constipation, may absorb the vitamin A supply of the body and so lead Indirectly to a condition known as hemeralopia, or night-blindness. In one large survey about 30 per cent of people driving cars a t night had some degree of night blindness correctable by an Increased Intake of vitamin A.

It seems advisable to warn the public that while mineral oil has a recognized place in the doctor's list of useful aides. Its Indiscriminate and continuous employment may be followed by conditions more serious than loss of visual acuity.

Authorities state that the use of mineral oil Is as old as civilization itself and was certainly prescribed by ihe Assyrian and Egyptian phy-sicians. Its value llet In the fact that tt Is a mechanical, unabsorb-able lubricant. As such, it coats the Intestinal walls and softens their contents. Because .the oil cannot be assimilated by the body. It adds Itaj bulk to digested foods and facili-tates elimination.

But despite its apparent harmldss-ness, medical authorities s tate that mineral oil should not be taken as a regular procedure without advice of the physician. There is ample experimental evidence tha t the lubricant may actually Inhibit di-gestion In the small intestine and prevent the body from extracting full value from the food with w'hich the oil Is mixed. - Probably this Is due to the fact that the oil sur-rounds the food particles with Im-permeable film.

Because of this danger and the fact that mineral oil may Induce avltamlnosis, an eminent authority says, "While the administration of mineral oil appears clinically user ful, It Is advisable to recommend the smallest dose that would prove therapeutically effective, to be taken preferably before retiring and not In too close relation to food In-digestion. and that its employment be not unduly prolonged."

When constipation is due to In-eufficlent bulk in the Intestines, the physician is likely to prefer a change In the diet to Increase Its bulk before resorting to cathartics.

/^LAIRE put the telephone re-ceiver down and walked back

to the breakfast room. She smoothed the stiff blue folds of her Immaculate dressing gown beneath her carefully as she resumed her seat opposite Jim.

Some women might ignore appear-ances the first thing In the morning.

] but not Claire. She sipped her coffee, now luke-

warm, and wondered when Mary Fenton would get over that annoy-ing habit of phoning so early. Then, her eyes falling on the hotel bro-chure which had come In the morn ing mail, Claire recalled the prob-lem she'd been trying to discuss with Jim before the phone rang.

"Jim—please. This is Important I want to send in our reservations today. Won't you talk to Julie?" Julie would listen to her father He'd be able to persuade her tf. spend the summer with her mother at thc Mountain Lake House. It wasn't as If Julie didn't love thr mountains. Claire knew why she'd taken such a stubborn stand about remaining in the city. But shi wouldn't — she wouldn't let Julie continue to make a fool of herseli over that Johnson boy.

"What's that, Claire? Talk to Julie?" Jim's voice came mufTied through the intervening pages of hi:-newspaper. Claire noted irrelevant ly the striking contrast of his pre-maturely white hair to his bronzed. still youthful face. Yes. by any Standards, Jim was a terribly at-tractive man. Women like Mary Fes ton thought her rash, leaving Jim alone in the city every sum-mer But that was ridiculous! One had to be sensible. And if J im's publishing firm kept him tied to his desk during the sweltering summer months, that was no reason for his wife and daughter to suffer, too As for distrusting Jim—well, either | he loved her, or he didn't. Should | he ever decide he didn't, she had too much pride to want to hold him io an empty marriage vow.

If only Julie had inherited that same pride! That was what was worrying Claire now. But what was Jim saying?

"Good Lord, Claire, the girl's old enough to know her own mind. If she wants to stay home and take Bomo courses, let her. I'll be here to keep an eye on her."

Stay home and take courses. Couldn't Jim see through that pathetic alibi?

"But. Jim—" oh, what was the use! He wasn't even listening. She'd have to handle this herself. She'd make Julie go with her. There'd be no more of these pitiful attempts to attract Grant Johnson's Attention. Making up excuses to phone him, humbling herself for a smile, a brief hello, an intricately maneuvered date.

Even if one could win a man by such tactics, it was an empty vic-tory. One had to have pride, Claire reflected. Julie was too young to realize that. Her heart twisted with love and pity as she remembered how unhappy the girl had been all these past months. But she'd been wrong, so wrong. If u two months' absence meant losing the boy, he wasn't worth winning in the tlrst place.

Jim was getting up to leave. "Will you be home for dinner, dear?" With two books due to go to press within the week, Claire knew how rushed he must be.

"Dinner? Why—why, no. No, I'm afraid it's going to be two late nights in a row. Sam and I didn't finish those proofs we went over last night."

Claire meticulously poured her-self a fresh cup of coffee from the silver urn. "Oh. yes. I didn't have a chance to ask what kept you last n ight"

"That history text. It's giving us a lot of trouble. Well, good-by. my dear."

The door had scarcely closed be hind Jim when Julie came Into the breakfast room. How slowly the girl walked—how pale she was, the signs of tears around her eyes anc

nose! "Good morning, Mother." Julie

slumped into a chair and stared list lessly at her orange juice.

Claire didn't answer for a mo-ment. She was fingering the hotel brochure. Then, "Julie—"

"Oh, Mother, do—do we have to argue again about this summer? 1 want to stay home. I've got to stay home." Julie's voice was desper-ate. There was pleading in every fiber of her slim young body.

"Yes—yes, of course you can stay

home." "Mother!" Her voice was sud-

denly joyous. "I 'm staying home, too." As she

spoke, Claire was crumpling the brochure, her gleaming nails tear-ing through the heavily engraved paper. I

"Gosh. Mother. I don't know what made you change your mind. But I'm glad—I'm certainly glad you

did." Of course Julie didn't know why

she'd changed her mind. But Claire knew. Knew that Jim had nevei before lied to her. Not till just now, when he said he'd spent last night going over proofs with Sam But Mary Fenton had said ovei the phone that she'd seen him ai the theater with that attractive new woman client

" W h y ? " Paul asked flatly. Thc bartender broke into Span-

"What does he s a y ? " Joan asked. " I t seems there was a man look-

" K a r l ? "

"Not a chance. Karl wouldn't be apt to row all the way to shore. And the ship isn't in s igh t I 've been watching to see."

"But who in the world could it have been?"

The bartender, feet op the bar . had returned to his siesta.

"What a country!" Thomas mut-tered. "If someone wanted Joan, why didn't they telephone the ho-tel? We're all registered under our own names . "

Paul laughed. "This is what is known as the subtle approach."

"Pau l ! Be ser ious!" Joan insisted. "Okay ," Paul said, leaning for-

CHAPTER XVI

Paul looked from Joan to Thomas. "Now listen, both of you. This may be something of a shock but Karl was not dead. He had a nasty wound but he's probably sllll very much

that ship for a purpose. We will doubtless be picked up by other members of the ring as soon as we land. We're off the coast of Mexico now. About Mazatlan, If my calcu-lations a re correct ."

And less than an hour la ter th^-were picked up by a fishing boat and landed at a Mazatlan hotel.

The hotel proved to be old nnd magniflcenl. with beautiful tiled floors and high-beamed ceilings and r a m p s instead of s ta i rways. It ap-peared practically dejer ted except for the yawning clerk who assigned them to rooms.

Joan was surprised that Paul •poke Spanish. "Is there anything you can ' t d o ? " she asked.

I specialized in l anguage ; in c 1-[ege and it comes in handy with my Job. I never know where I'll be n e x t "

Joan felt bet ter af ter a hot bath. Joan enjoyed her first t a s t e of pa-

paya and the oversized cups of cof-fee served with hot milk and huge lumps of unrefined sugar. "No won-de r everyone seems so lazy. Noth-»ng to do but eat and sleep and breathe this heavenly a i r . "

Thomas looked up in dlggusL Sometimes I think you two are

nu t t You sit there and wait for • - r l » gang to come af te r you as If the whole thing is a joke. I don i get i t Why don' t we get out of here r ight now while we still have a chance?"

"If you tried i t you'd find out how much chance you have ."

"Where a re they then? demanded.

"Don' t be ImpaUent. They'll be with us soon enough."

But when Thomas had gone back to his room and Joan and Paul walked In the tropical garden patio o L . h o t e 1 ' s h e s a i d seriously 'Thomas is r i g h t Paul . Why don't

we leave before i t 's too l a t e?" "This Is the end of the trail, hon-

» K t 'e t us get away, which they w o n ' t what would we have gained? Their next move will lead to the h e a r t of this affair . I t ' s wha t I 've been waiting fo r all these months ."

They strolled through the garden where every variety of tropical frui t and flowsr was exhibited by nature 's lavish hand.

" I t ' s so beautiful and so peace-ful. Joan whispered.

Paql held her hand tightly. "Be pa t ien t dear . Just a little while longer and evi-.-yUiing will be cleared up, and when we' re mar -ried I promise you I'll t ake a vaca-tion and the re won't be a single mys te ry to solve."

"Darling, I don't care where we go Just so we a ren ' t being followed, or, she added laughing, "following tomeone e l se . " . P«rson," Paul prom-ised, I U guarantee to be under foot every hour. You'll probably be tired of seeing m e around so much "

• • •

f o r t l i l S * K C n e X t t h r e e d a y * Joan*" lor t i tude began to waver . She un-

P a u l , » devotion to duty, but In her hear t she longed to escape, to go home, to be marr ied , to give up the chase which seemed to grow more dangerous and futile all the t ime.

• 1 don't know why F m sUcking • round here . " Thomas complained a s the three of them sat in the de-serted hotel ba r watching the shafts of sunshine fall through griUed iron windows.

"You ' re s taying because you're a f ra id to l eave , " Paul said, "and you ' re s m a r t enough to real ize I t "

Thomas stared at him. "This place is driving me c razy ." He looked around the empty bar in dis-gust. The bar tender dozed. The w a r m sweet a i r was heavy and unguorous . "Where is everybody?"

"Didn't you ever hea r of a si-e s t a ? " Paul inquired.

• T v e heard of I f Thomas said But people who have Karl Miller's

f a n g a f te r them aren ' t ap t to waste t i m e taking siestas.

"Nothing doing. P m sorry you two have to stay but It isn't safe for you to leave alone. Believe me it wouldn't work ."

Thomas sighed. "Okay, if you say »o . Bar tender ! " he yelled,

o n n g m e another bottle of beer " Thc bar tender shook his head

muttered. "Si, senor ." and hurried over with the beer. But at the sight of Joan he paused.

They ' re probably picking on you in-stead of me as a gentle warning that if anything goes wrong, you'll be the one to pay for I t However, that ' s looking a t It in the worst pos-sible light." He took her hand. "Don' t worry, honey. I'll do all I c an . "

"Maybe K(.rl has some Mexi-cans working for h im," Thomas sug-gested.

" I don't think so. Besides, this man spoke English, and 11 he had been able to speak Spanish be cer-tainly would have done so, because the bar tender was barely able to understand h im."

"So now we s tar t walling all over aga in?" Thomas asked.

"That ' s about i t " She shivered. "Let 's go." she

urged. They visited the cathedral , the

park, and finally took in a movie. They walked leisurely bac!: to the hotel. Dinner was never served un-til nine o'clock.

As they turned on to the long avendla which bordered thc sea, one of the few automobiles they had seen turned the comer sharply.

"That m a n ! " Joan cried. " I have the s t rangest feeling I know him! I couldn't see him very well, but I 'm sure ^ i t "

"Maybe it 's the m a n who was Uy-Ing to get In touch with you," Thom as said. "Maybe it 's one of Karl 's men that you used to see around the club in San Francisco ."

"That could easily be possible," Thomas! Paul said.

"But I don't connect him with anyone a t the club," Joan said puz-zled. " I t gives me the queerest feeling."

She was still worrying about It a f te r dinner when Thomas an-nounced that he was going lo "do the tow?n."

"Watch your s tep," Paul advised. "Don' t get absent-minded and t ry to cscape ."

"Don' t worry about i t Mr. O'Mal-ley! You've got me buffaloed. I 'll stick around and watch the fire-works."

Joan retired early but she lay awake in the huge four-poster bed wondering about the man she had seen. Who was he? Why couldn't she place him? .V ie roar of the sea and sweet night air filled the room. Moonbeams flitted across thc stone floor like shimmering mist. She looked uneasily towards the old-fashioned door. She had locked and bolted It but it rattled in the wind.

She was almost asleep when a sound disturbed her. Someone was tapping gently at her door. She sat up in bed. "Who's the re?" she de-manded.

No one replied. She drew on the colorful Mexican robe and slippers she had bought and tiptoed to the

door. "Who's there*" she repeated Thomas ' voice came to her. "I t ' s

me, miss. I 've something to tell you."

Quickly she unbolted the door and snapped on the light. 'What's the t rouble?" she asked, annoyed. "Why don't you tell Mr. O'Malley what-ever It i s ? "

" I c a n ' t " Thomas whispered, looking over his shoulder. ' T v e found a way to get out of here ."

Joan eyed him coldly. "Have you been dr inking?"

"Only a few," Thomas insisted. 'Listen, Miss Leland, I me t a man

tonight who will take us back to the States. He's an American ana he 's flying back home tomorrow. He has his own plane and when I told him we were stranded . . . "

"You shouldn't have done tha t ! " "Maybe no t but I 'm scared. Miss

Leland. This guy is okay so I took a chance. He was swell about It. Said he'd be glad to help us. I told him I thought you'd be willing to go too and he -.-ants to see you. He's downstairs right now."

"Paul will never consent to leave." Joan said slowly, "and I can ' t leave him. I don't blame you, Thomas, but you know Mr. O'Malley said It wasn ' t safe. However, If you want to go, I suppose it 's all r ight ."

"Now look. Miss Leland," Thom-as begged. "At least go down and talk to this man. He's waiting for you. After all, he 's been pretty de-cent about this whole thing. If you don't see him, he'll think there 's something phony about it and he won't even take m e . "

Joan considered for a minute. "All r i g h t for your sake I'll see him. But I ' m not going to leave. No one can persuade m e . "

"Okay ," Thomas f-^d hurriedly.

PUBLIC NOTICES

Someone was tapping gently at her door. She sat up In bed. "Who's the re?" she demanded.

" Jus t back me up on my story. That 's all I ask ."

He departed and Joan dressed quickly, thinking how strange It was that now that she had a chance to escape she could not take I t It was Impossible to consider leaving Paul. Even so, she could not b lame Thomas. And If corroborating his story would help, she would be glad to do I t After all, he had given them all the aid possible on the ship.

She walked down the stone r amp to the dimly lit lobby. A man was waiting for her. a man who was at once famil iar to her. It was the same m a n she had glimpsed In the car that afternoon frorn the street.

"Mr. Mulford!" she cried In sur-prise as she realized that it was in truth her former employer who now rose smilingly to greet her.

"Joan! This Is a su rp r i se ! " Ar-thur Mulford said.

" I t Is to me , " she admit ted. " I heard you were here. I even

went so fa r as to ask the bar tender for Information about you, but I didn't connect you with Thomas ."

"Possible. Now tell mc, what Is this all about?"

They both sat down In the deep leather chairs . " I suppose Thomas has explained the s i tuat ion?"

Thomas was s tanding on the ve-randa smoking a cigarette, appar-ently preferr ing to let Joan do the talking.

"Yes ." Mulford said with concern. "He tells me you are In danger of being recaptured by some gang. I must say it sounded a little fan-tast ic."

" I t ' s the t ru th ." Joan said grave-ly. "After you discharged me I went to work at a night club, the Club Elite, owned by a Karl Miller. I learned later that he is head of a spy ring In this country, i also met Paul O'Malley, of the FBI, who Is trying to get evidence against Knrl

"And why don't you leave Mazat-lan?" Mulford Inquired.

"Paul , that is, Mr. O'Malley, is still trying to run down the rest of the gang. And he believes they are keeping tabs on us. He is deter-mined not to give u p . "

"Thomas seems quite willing to leave."

"Yos. He worked for Karl In re-turn for Karl ' s promise to save his wife f r c m a Nazi concentration camp," Joan said bitterly. '

Some overcoats a re stolen in res-taurants and others are devoured by moths.

But McLaughlin merely stepped off a curbstone with his coat over his a r m and a moment la ter saw ii flying down the s treet on the door handle of an automobile. A three-mile chase in another motorist 's machine proved futile, as the streamlined snalcher became lost in traffic.

Food For a Vital America

An article in Survey Graphic, March, says: Germany wa& the country which paid the greatest attention to food and nutrition in the years preceding the war. Like all German propaganda, the slogan "guns instead of butter" was de-liberately misleading. In her war preparations Germany made full use of the modern knowledge of nutrition. Milk became scarce be-cause none was available until every child and every pregnant woman was supplied.

Shall wc in America fall into the error of neglecting food and nu-trition at a t ime when war seeks out every weakness among our people? Let us not sacrifice food, housing, and medical care essential for the health and morale of our people. Victory demands the most strenuous efforts of thc armed forces, the producers of food, muni-tions. and shipping, and behind them the whole force of a strong united people.

scale immunizations," said Dr. H. Alien Moyer. State Health Commis-sioner. "Child Health Day will not mark the end of physicians' efforts in this direction. We hope similar campaigns will be started in all 83 Michigan counties immediately."

This year's campaign got under way first in the defense areas of De-troit and Wayne county, five weeks ago. The immunization program is directed particularly to the pro-tection of children over nine months and under five years of age.

Diphtheria toxoid and smallpox vaccine used in the Immunizations are made and distributed by the Michigan Department of Health. Some difficulty is being met by the Department laboratiories In ob-taining glass vials, rubber stoppers and bulbs in sufficient quantities to meet the demands of physicians giving the immunizations, but every effor t is being made to minimize delay in supplying the materials. Small and frequent shipments of smallpox vaccine are made because many doctors do not have the re-frigeration equipment necessary to keep up the potency of the vaccine.

These rates are for any flock re-gardless of size.

The young man vanished into the smoking car, amid the snickers of those who had overheard them.

Hoagland of Grana Rapids.

First we went to the Capitol. The guide, W. G. Rlnehart, took us all through tho Capitol and told us many Interesting things. We saV a Persian rug In the Supreme Court room that he said had de-signs on It that only the Judges could read. We went up as far as wa cou'd go In the dome and went out on the balcony. We coula see almost the whole city.

We ate a t the Michigan State College Dairy, which sells milk to the whole city. We went throuirh the campus, which Is eurprisingly1

large and saw many Interesting things. Some of them were the Field House, big enough io have a football game Inside, the best bull In the 1940 Michigan Stale Fair, the best four-year-old horse in the International Fair in Chi-cago, and the central heating sv®-tem which heats all the campus building*.

Then we went to the Museum in the State House. There we saw many interesting things, such aa the f irst fire engine in Lansing, the bell of Lansing's first capitol and a stagecoach that ran from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids.

All that went agreed that it waa very worthwhile and enjoyable trip,
