A drive is now being conducted by the Delphos police department to make automobile drivers traffic law conscious. The campaign which is now being 1 conducted is designed to bring to the attention of motorists "stop" signs which are locatedi at various places in the city, speeding, illegal parking in -restricted zones, etc.

It is being urged that automobile drivers observe city traffic signs for the safety pedestrians and other motorists. It is suggested that motorists avail themselves of the opportunity to secure the newly revised and enlarged edition of the "Ohio Driver's Manual" which is now ready for distribution by the state highway department. This latest manual has been prepared by the Division of Traffic and Safety of the Ohio Department of Highways and contains numerous (revisions and additions and is the most complete booklet of this nature ever published by the state. The number of pages has increased to 47 pages over the 36 in last year's booklet. One of the outstanding features of the new manual is the large number of illustrations.

These picture which car has the right of way at when it is never safe to pass, and the proper manner in which to make left or right turns and so on. Such topics as "traffic problems" "pedestrian regulations" "licensing of drivers" "bicycle and motorcycle regulations" "traffic rules and regulations" are discussed and interpreted. The booklet also contains an alphabetical index to aid in locating subject matter. Director Sours said that copies of the manual may be obtained upon request to the Division of Traffic and Safety, Ohio Department of Highways, Columbus, Ohio.

ONE CHAPTER NINETEEN MOLLA regarded Agatha Whitworth with something akin to pity. "You half expected me to be angry, didn't you? Well, I'm not. I'm not angry because in your own small way you are doing and saying what you believe to be the best thing for your son. "Tay doesn't know you came here tonight; neither does Mr.

Whitworth, does he?" "Of course not," Agatha said stiffly. "And may I depend upon you to keep this visit to ourselves?" "You'd be quite embarrassed if they knew, wouldn't you? And perhaps ashamed. No, on second thought I don't believe a person like you would be ashamed." "How Molla raised a hand in a tiny gesture. "Never mind," she said in a low voice. "You are so concerned with your social position, so afraid that your son might fall in love with someone beneath his station.

"How far back do you trace your Mrs. Whitworth?" "I am a Daughter of the American Revolution," Agatha said with dignity. Molla nodded. "So. But here," she raised an arm whimsically, "in this arm there flows She let the arm drop with a laugh.

"No, I'd better not. In this country you have an expression which you call 'corn'. Maybe that would apply here." Molla smiled again. "To put it frankly, you do not think I am good enough for your son. Frankly, I do not think your son is exactly what I am looking for, although I do think he has possibilities." "Why, you Agatha herself with an effort.

"That kind of you," she said icily. "I'm sure he would be nattered if he knew." "Perhaps I'll tell him." "I thought we understood each other." "I understand you; I don't think you possibly could understand me, 1 Molla told her. Agatha stood up. "I must be go Jig now. I might add, however, tha also intend to have a word with Taylor." "Your privilege, of course, but hope you will be fair." "I merely shall use my discre tion." "How about a movie tonight beautiful? Molla looked up from her type writer at Tay's grinning face "Why, ight-thirty." Evidently, Molla thought, Aga- ha Whitworth had changed her mind about speaking to Tay.

Molla vondered if Agatha had lost her aerve, or if she merely was wait- ng to see if her advice was. going 0 be heeded. They sat outside in Tay's car for a while after he took her home that light. He put his arm around her houlder. The snow fell around them sl- ently, swirling in front of the treet light, driving in against the Arindshield.

Tay pointed to a spot on the glass. "See that spot? When it gets completely covered with snow I'm joing to kiss you." Molla laughed. "Aren't you fate?" "Fate's on my side," he grinned down at her. "Watch." They sat there silently for fully minutes, but the spot on the windshield remained uncovered. Svery time it appeared as though might be, the flakes which already had gathered slithered away.

"Well, if the elements are against me there's only one thing to do," Tay announced. He got out of the car, scooped up some snow in his gloved hand and plastered it against the windshield 1 Then he got inside the car again, put his arm around Molla and dssed her. For a brief instant she started to draw back, changed her mind. "You cheated," she said finally. "What's an obstacle to a Whitworth when he wants to kiss a beautiful girl?" Molla thought of Agatha.

"I wonder," she said. "Maybe you haven't a real obstacle. He looked at her sharply. "What do you mean. Oh, maybe there's competition.

Good. I thrive on competition." "No. No competition, although I do not understand what is being competed for." His grin was enhanced by the half light of the street lamp which fell across his face. "Sometimes I you're just naive, and at others I think you're giving me the subtlest form of needling any gir ever handed me." "Needling?" "Sure. Needling.

Slang "Oh, I see. Slang He laughed. "Neil suggested tha 1 get you a book on slang at th library and let you take a few shor cuts to talking United States." "Neil did? He's very nice, isn' he Why don't you bring him alon, time when you take me oui Good! Then it's a date. About! That is, of course, if you take ut again," she added hastily. "Oh, I daresay that'll lass again.

But yow get that bring-Neil-along stunt sandwich you with any man, iet the department of justice call II a monopoly if it wants to, I'll taki the whole United States army. 1 She laughed. She liked his spon aneity, his effervescence. She hac never known anyone quite like hint before. "On second thought, though," ht admitted, "we ought to include old STeil a little more than we have.

He'll only be here for another three creeks or a month. You know," he said curiously, "he hasn't had a single date in all the time he's been New York this trip. Sometimes I can't understand him. He's smart, looking, easy to gej; along dunno, maybe he just doesn't like women." "Maybe he has a back is it again?" "Minnesota. Nope, not Neil.

He'j ail wrapped up in his bridges, his power developments and blue prints. Why, I told you, didn't you were the first girl to whom ever heard him pay a really flattering compliment." "Did he?" she asked quickly. "What did he say?" Tay waved vaguely. stuff and things. I know what we'll do," he said, as an idea came to him.

"I'll round up some unattached raving beauty for him and we'll just corral him for a foursome. Next week. We won't tell him a thing about It until it's aU arranged and then there won't be a thing he'll be able to do about it How does it sound to you?" "Fine," Molla said. "It should be fun." He took her to the door and kissed her again, lightly this time. The abandon with which he did it always seemed to peeve her slightly.

"See you in the morning," he said. Molla was just getting ready to go to bed when she heard the door bell ring. A minute later Mrs. Cassidy knocked at her door. "Special delivery letter, Miss Glendon." Molla hurried to the door, her thoughts jumping furiously.

There was only one person in America who could be writing to her. She tore the letter open. She was right It was from Kurt Wilhelm. Molla's hand trembled as she read. There was a wild, almost uncontrolled joy in her heart and she almost flew to the telephone downstairs.

Lunncy, and Illllllll CHAPTER TWfcJN 11 IT WAS only a matter of seconds, but Molla hardly could wait until the operator connected her with the Whitworth estate on Long Island. She recognized the voice of James, the butler. "Mr. Whitworth, Molla said excitedly. "Sorry, ma'am," James told her.

"Mr. and Mrs. Whitworth are both out for the evening. There's no one here, ma'am but Mr. Lundquist." "I'll speak to him." She waited 15 more unending seconds.

"Hello, Mr. is Molla Glendon. Oh, it's wonderful," she cried, her words seeming to tumble over each other. "It sounds like it, but what's wonderful?" he asked. "Kurt Wilhelm.

He's gone, Neil! He wrote and said he has left the country that he doesn't think he'll ever be back in New York again." "Is that all he said," Nell asked quietly. "Where did he say he was going?" "He didn't say. Just that he was leaving America and he hoped I would be happy Her voice bubbled again. "lan'l it. wonderful, Neil? Will you tell Tay and Mr.

Whitworth for "Yes, of course and it is a great thing, isn't it? It certainly rids you of a nightmare." Molla raced upstairs again. She threw herself on the bed and hugged her pillow. Neil had been right when he called it a nightmare, but now Kurt Wilhelm was nothing but a dark page out of the past that had come and gone. Neil slid Into his chair at breakfast the next morning and flashed a broad smile at Tay and Mr. Whitworth.

"Have some news for you gents If you hadn't been prowling around until all hours after midnight you could have gotten in on it las night. Anyway, Kurt Wilhelm has left the country and he isn't com ing back. At least, so he says." Their heads jerked up with In terest as Neil told them of Molla's phone call the night before. "Neil," said Tay as they got int his car and started for New York "not only is that swell news, bu ypu're going to get a chance celebrate it as such. I've got you a date for Saturday night.

You'r ioubling 1 with Molla and me." "I've cot a what and I'm doing vnicn!" wen raised a protesting and. "Whoooa, fella, I don't mind going out with you and Molla, but draw the line at those fluttering hings from Park avenue. What's he matter?" he asked suspiciously. Even if I wanted a date, don't you hink I could get one myself?" "Nope," Tay said succinctly, and his father laughed. "My virility is challenged.

I'll get date if I have to ask Miss rump." "Too late. Your date's made. The ucky girl is Susan McBride. You met her once here at the house about a month ago. Remember? Tall, dark, and sort of slinky." "Tall and dark doesn't mean any- and 'sort of describes em all around these parts." "Well, she remembered you and sounded quite thrilled at the prospect of tying up with that big he- man from the north woods for an evening." "And I'm just overwhelmed," Neil grumbled.

"Besides, you're a snake for interfering like this with my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." "Happiness has been pursuing you for years, but you've never stopped to let it catch with you." "Maybe," Tay's father said, "maybe that's the reason why he's the best engineer in the business today." Molla was at the office by the time they got there. They saw her across the room as they filed in and Tay raised his two hands over his head in a significant gesture and winked an eye as he did so. She knew what was trying to convey and smiled in return. When he got a chance, Tay returned and leaned over the railing near her desk. "Nice going, pardner.

Now that the bogey man is gone, we can really tear some of the lid off this village." She barely had time to nod as Miss Crump- called to. her. Miss Crump eyed Tay with all the coldness her 30 years with the firm al lowed her and dismissed him with a look which seemed to say, "On your way, and quit bothering office help during office hours." Tay burlesqued a shiver and re turned to his It was shortly after lunch tha Tay felt a sore throat coming on By mid-afternoon it was so painfu that he decided to go home. By eve ning he called the doctor, wh promptly put him to bed. "That's a bad one," the docto aid, "very baa.

Jfou stay In bed or at least three days." "Hey, I can't. I've got a date to- norrow night," Tay protested. "Good. You keep your date, then ut of gratitude she'll honor you iy attending your funeral." Tay looked at Neil hopelessly ivhen the doctor had gone, "Now what happens?" The telephone at his bedside rang and he picked up the receiver. Hello yes, this is Tay.

Oh, hello Susan." He listened for a moment, nodded his head affirmatively once, then negatively. He opened his mouth to speak, closed it again. When she was done, Tay mumbled something about being sorry, and hung up. "This is more than Coincidence; this is Kismet," ha groaned. "That was Susan.

She legs me to let her break her data with you so she can fly down to Bermuda with some friends." Tay pulled the blankets over his head. "That evens things all around," he said in a muffled tone. 'All it does is ruin four perfectly rood seats to the best show In Neil made a sympathetic clicking sound with his tongue, then when Tay brought his head out from the covers again. "Frightful shame. Worst thing that ever happened." Then Neil sqinted through one eye as an idea struck him.

"Tell you what I'll do. Just so Molla won't be so disappointed, I'll take her for you if she'll put up, with me for an evening." "The nobility of your gesture panics me," Tay growled, "but it's the only bright thing you've said tonight. Go ahead and call her." "Oh. no," Neil said hastily. "You phone.

I really, I think you should." Tay grasped the phone disgustedly. "Okay, but what if she refuses?" "I don't think she will, do you what I'm afraid of." Neil motioned impatiently. "Go ahead and call and get it over This is killing He had Molla on the wire In a moment and explained the situation. "She says she'll be delighted," Tay announced when he had bung up. "What's worse, is that she sounded as though she meant it." Neil laughed.

"Spare your ries. I always observe no ing signs." (To Be Continued).
