"What? Oh! The Gyllinsons just the day after you took sick." "Where did they go?" "I don't know, dear. I don't think Sven told anyone." His convalescence was slow tedious. Gradually he learned take a few steps, and then to walk without leaning on Anna.

Parris asked the question a bit diffidently one morning at breakfast. "You're not going to school year, Parris." "Wha-at?" His eyes opened wide with astonishment. "You won't be strong enough very, start next week, and I have cided to get a tutor for you winter. You can study at home." "Oh, goodness." The tone of voice dropped a little.

"Besides," Madame continued, "you need' study in German French that you don't get school." "Oh, dear.

Been studying too hard, sonny?" "I--I don't think so, sir." "Parris, ask Anna to make some lemonade." The talk had run to other matters when he returned with glasses and a pitcher making a pleasant tinkle of ice. the "By the way, Marie," Mr. St. George was saying, "I hear you've He lost your overseer.

THE Ares of Indian summer burned on every hill, and the nostalgic odors of autumn filled the air.

Edson in Washington Nelson Stands Solid With Investigators WASHINGTON Before had a chance to say, "My! Maybe this man, Donald Nelson would be a 1944!" good candidale for President, in Nelson himself calked such possibilities. Whether consciously, the fact remains that in his intial 1942 appearance before Senator Truman's Commtice Investigating National Defense, Nelson, as head of the new War Production Board, declared flatly, "I'm not interested in politics. It's a business you must learn from childhood." A few moments later, Senator Ralph O. Brewster of Dexter, Maine, tried to summarize what Nelson's own attitude to his job might be in assuming full responsibility for production during the war period. "In other words," said Brewster, "you are ready to be the goat." "I'm ready to be the goat," Nelson repeated after him and then added that on this job, "I have everything to lose and nothing to gain." And thus Washington's newest political ghost died a-borning, just aS a few people in the capital were beginning to comment on how strange it would be if President Roosevelt, in making Nelson head of war production, had created El future DOlitical opponent.

A Non-Ducker This forthrightness of Nelson's in facing issues squarely and doing some thing about them before they are surrounded with gossip is onc of the man's most admirable characteristics. He doesn't duck questions. lie looks the person he's talking to squarely in the eyes and he gives straightforward, bonest, non-evasive answers. When he doesn't know the er, he say's so frankly or admits he hasn't had time to think it through. These attributes of simple honesty have won for Nelson the confidence which everyone in the government scems to have for him now.

There are plenty of Washington politicos who question whether Nelson has any more authority. the power old OPM. than After Knudsen all, it's the Army and Navy who are actually going to let the contracts just as they've always done. But Nelson, through his ability to win confidence, with that confidence co-operation, may have what it takes! to put over this war production effort. Nelson's ability to meet an issue more, than half way-his ability to right up to a controversial question and wrestle with it before it has a chance to sncak up behind his desk and throw him-was clearly demonstrated in his first appearance before the Truman Committee.

This committee was all set to raise hob about the 300 dollar-a-year men and the 400 "without compensation" consultants in the war production organization. The committee investigators had been digging past records of these big shots 1cmporarily working for the government, and letters had gone out asking for data on the war contracts now held by the corporations these dollar-0year and woe men held stock in or were employed by. Furthermore, the Truman Committoc's report of Jan. 15 had some blistcring comments on this subject, expressing opposition to "a policy of taking free services from persons with axes to grind." Knowing these things, one of Nelson's first moves was to ask Senator Truman for permission to testily on his policy in hiring -a- year men and woes. The committee complied and Nelson walked right up to the dragon and slew it.

C. Gasoline, Sinclair Opaline and Pennsylvania Motor Oils are among the nation's most popular Petroleum Products. Sinclair Refining company products are among the most widely used in America. That they are among the best is shown by, the fact that over 1,500,000 automobiles in America are driven with Sinclair gasoline each day; that 150 American railroads, whose engines travel 120,000,000 locomotive miles each year, are Sinclair lubricated throughout; that gasoline and lubricants American Airlines whose planes fly 400,000 miles 011 scheduled flights cach day are supplied with Sinclair, The answer is that the Sinclair Refining company has certain advantages which few other oil companies possess.

"C'mon," he commanded, looking back at the house as they passed. "Who does she think she is, anyhow? Crazy, that's what she is. People like that ain't got no business livin' round Kings Row, nohow." One of the bolder boys sent another rock banging against the side of the house. Mrs. Singer appeared once more, "Go on, now," she called.

"You quit that, or I'll have the Jaw on you." Fulmer stood in the road facing her squarely. "Aw, you shut he said. A hail of stones fell on and around the house. A few windowpanes shattered with loud crashes. At that moment Benny, returning from a neighbor's, ran down the road and yelled at the top of his voice, "Stop that, stop throwin' rocks at our house, you dirty ol'dirty ol' snoozers, you!"

Fulmer told his daddy, and they had Benny arrested." "Sure enough? Did they put him in jail?" "Just one night. Mr. Green said he ought to be sent to a reform school, but Colonel Skeffingion was on Benny's side--he got him off. But they bound Benny's mother over to keep the peace." "Fulmer Green is kind of lowdown, I think, don't you?" "Sure he is.
