Jim and Emily ate in the kitchen, over Ellen's protest. Cold roast beef, a salad, biscuits and preserves, custard, iced tea. "Them biscuits was fresh baked," said Ellen with menace. "Now they're stone cold." "Heat 'em up," said Emily cheerfully. "I'm so hungry I could eat bricks.

I don't know why, I had an elegant lunch at the Lobster Pot." "Wht.t's that?" asked Jim. "Oh, we'll have to take you there sonic time," she said, "I forgot you didn't know. I ran into Frank and he was lunch time, and I was 'weak, and went." Jim grinned at her over a large forkful. "Frank?" he said. "Cutting Nancy out, are you?" "Don't be silly." But to her annoyance, she felt the color rls- lle was instantly very cheerful.

He ragged Ellen, untied her apron strings, demanded more tea and another custard. "What in the world," demanded Millicent, entering the kitchen, "is "I put my foot in it. Why? She didn't like that, did she?" The doorbell rang. "Patient," he groaned, and rose. He looked clown at Emily, drinking the last of her tea.

He "This has been fun, hasn't it?" But somehow the fun was gone as he walked back toward the office and the patient, HEN this all about?" 'Frank Edgar," said Jim solemnly. "He's paying court to our Emily." "Don't be ridiculous," snid Emily shortly. "He took her to lunch," explained Jim, "and she's going to his office hours were over and he been upstairs to see David Hall, he yawned, stretched, felt suddenly tired. It would be pleasant to return to the apartment, turn on his radio, read a little while before turning it. Perhaps there wouldn't be any calls.

Then remembered that he had promised Hilda Karsten he would run out to the hospital and see her before be went to bed. He looked at his watch. It was not too late. There had been only three patients this evening. He'd go, be'd given his word, it wouldn't be out of order, he would not disturb the ward.

Emily was sitting on the front steps as he came out. He said, pausing beside her, "You ought to be in bed." "It's 'early. I have my half day oft tomorrow," she said. "I'm going to see Hilda Karsten. Want to ride along?" he inquired.

"Of course." She jumped up and went out to the car with him. She said, as they drove toward "It's such a mar- I was hoping you'd the hospital, velous night ask me." After a silence, he, asked cautiously, Nancy go?" out with her gang," Emily replied vaguely. "It seems to me that I Heard something about a beach picnic." He asked abruptly, "Why don't you ever go along?" "Are you being sorry for me?" she said, quickly, "you needn't be. 1 don't want to, really. Nancy always asks me, I don't find it as amusing as I used not that I don't go now and then.

But 1 can't racket around all night and feel like work the next morning." His call at the hospital was brief, he came smiling to the car where Emily waited. "Everything all right," he announced. they drove in Nancy was sitting on the steps waiting for them. She said, as they came from the garage together, "Where In time have you been?" Jim explained, and Nancy commented, "Doesn't sound like much fun. Might much better have been on the picnic with us." She looked up at Emily who had paused on the steps beside her.

"Frank told me he took you to lunch," she said. "So he did, and a very good one, too," Emily assowed her. "Unlike'you, isn't it?" asked Nancy carelessly, "mixing business with pleasure?" rose before Emily could answer, yawned, stretched her arms above her head. "It's a marvelous night," she said. "Jim, why can't you take us for a drive?" "Sorry," he, said, "there may be some calls and even doctors have to be careful of gas." "I'm off 'to bed," Emily told them, "good night, you two." She went on in the house and upstairs to see her father.

But the light from the living room -had given her a clear view of Nancy's pretty face, provocative, and rebellious, turned to Jim.

GILROY, D. D. We have just studied a lesson on the sacredness of human life against a present background of wartime destruction of human life on a scale that we should never have thought possible in modern face ot conditions that increasingly tend toward the disruption of the home and the nullifying of influences that we have commonly associated with the home relationships of fatherhood, motherhood, and family life. It is true that we have "Mothers' Day" and Fathers' Day," and perhaps we should have Sisters' Day" and "Brothers' Day." But this sort of emphasis may be as much a symptom of lessening regard for mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters as an evidence of enlarged affection. Most of us never needed a "Mothers' Day" to remind us of love and devotion to our mothers; every day for us was mother's day.

I have never forgotten a memorable occasion in Boston, when the late Senator Borah spoke in Symphony Hall on the recognition of Russia. In contrast with what has happened today, that was not then a popular proposal. A young man of the super-patriotic sort whose patriotism, took the form of criticizing the patriotism of other people had poised himself in a promiment place in the front of-the first gallery, and at a strategic moment he demanded to know why an American flag was not displayed on Ihe platform. There was an angry outburst Army (Continued Srom Page One) as a whole produced almost double that figure. German synthetic rubber production will soon' meet almost all her requirements for 202,000 tons a year.

Although her oil stocks have, decreased, Germany can produce or import more than enough oil to meet her requirements. She has sufficient high-oclaine gasoline for her air forces. The attack on the Ploesti oil refineries caused a loss of irreplac- able equipment but did not reduce German supplies to a danger point. The present German production of locomotives is ahead of American production. The effectiveness of submarines against Allied shipping has substantially decreased in recent months but it should be kept in mind that submarines, new or modified, and provided with new weapons and equipment, may reappear in numbers to attack our long supply bloom for the 152nd year.

And the editors, gazing into their famous but fictitious Weather crystal, this to predict. The coming winter will be mildef than last probably than most. "Mr. Weatherwjse," in his hecy in the new issue, includes tip that 'Hhin and delicate onions mean a mild winter." Robb Sagendorph, the 5 editor, says its annual preview the weather must go on, war or no war. When it was omitted in 1936, he said, the storm of reader could have been likened to the time "Theodore Roosevelt allowed coins to be minted without the customary God We Trust'." The Almanac's most famously fulfilled weather prediction was rain, hail and snow" for July 13.

Years editors disclosed that the prophecy was born of a boy who look literally the editor's 'hasty words, "anything, thing," when the boy asked what the prediction was that date. The Almanac's editors are always faced with the ticklish problem of maintaining ancient traditions while keeping abreast of the times. This year it carried a list of "the world's best combat aero- planes." Changes in the magazine setup, however, often bring a hail of protesting letters. A Nashua, N. reader, wrote: "I have read the old Farmer's Almanac for the last 75 years and.I wish the damn fool that changed the reading'of the moon's columij had died before he done it." Down through the years the most popular subjects for Almanac read; ers have been: How to get rid of bugs, murders strangely discovered, how to stay safe in thunder storms, insolvency aws, peace and progress var, interest tables, preserving; tate debts, medical lecture date and, of course, the never failing stand-bys of weather forecasts an.d astronomical data.

Borah silenced it, and turning lo the interrupter he said, "Young man, I have had nothing to do with the arrangements for. this 'meeting, but I to know that wherever I go, and wherever I speak, I carry the flag and the principles of the Constitution in my heart." That is the place for them, and no amount of outward display of zeal will compensate if they are not in the heart. I mention this because it is so true, also, of all that applies to the home, and to family relationships. "Days," and outward symbols, good in themselves, will be inadequate to stem the tide that tends to overwhelm the sacredness of home and family life, if there is not in the heart the true reverence for the sanctity of the home. The forces that are against that sanctity today are of two sorts.

Some are in the nature of the world's development and "progress. 1 Increasing attractions that tend to lake people outside of the home in (he hours that once were more, commonly spent Ihere are a powerful factor Ihe aulo, the movies, Ihe bowling alley, Ihe club, Ihe "social activities."

Other forces are more defi nitely destructive, if not actually malignant. The underlie the declining sacredness of marriage and the enormous increase of divorce in American life. I am among those who believe (hat divorce has its legitimate and proper place in rectifying, as far as may be possible, unfortunate mistakes and hopeless situations.

These do occur, and the santily of marriage is not upheld or furthered by perpetuating them. But divorce as widely practiced in American life today is little more than pretentious cover for irresponsible relationships. The Bible is our great textbook of the santity of home and family life. It is great heritage from he Judaism of the Old Testament hat the New Testament has only enforced with consistent teach- ngs and great examples. Hence he importance of this lesson, and the 'study of it in the presence of all that threatens the santity of the home.

Germany's food position is far better than.in the last war. The bombing of strategic objec- ves in Germany has caused heavy amage to industries and housing icilities. Production in the Ruhr estimated to have decreased by 0 percent during last May and une; this is equivalent to' a loss o) bout three percent of total Geiv nan output for those months. Hamburg has been practically liminated as a current industrial actor in the war. However, due to decentralization' of German indus ry, bombing -attacks must' be naintained and even extended to ffect the economic potential to a critical degree.

This was the picture drawn in Pacific We have yet to reach any Japanese line of resistance or any point at which they are determined .0 hold at all costs. Japan's geography gives her defensive positions great added strength. The task of destroying or neutralizing the Japanese fleet is still to oe accomplished. Numerous well-located air bases give the Japanese control of a chain of airdromes running from their homeland to Singapore in the west and the Solomons in the east, so they are able to concentrate air power at any given point in the Southwest Pacific without delay. Japanese manpower: In addition to the 75,000,000 Japanese in the homeland, the military machine is supported by labor of nearly 400,000,000 subject peoples.
