The story and ends in a French iteau circa 1750), with most of the ad-nture taking place in the remote jungle mountains of Guatemala. The picture is beautifully photographed, scenery and costumes are first-rate, and is notably free from the faking and gross aggeration often linked with this type of lodrama.

Part of it was filmed on location in Guate-i la and the story is embellished with many cresting variations on the conventional me.

The Town somber, sustained study in evil is pre- ted in "The Hitch-Hiker" (Town).

The principal character (William Talman) a beast in human shape. He is a heartless, sadistic, killpr, a criminal childhood, a lone, predatory brute with iun. Kleeinz from the polirp, he hitches ndes, irn shoots his benefactors when convenient, -nhout. compunction. He kidnaps two such (Erimond O'Brien and Frank Lovejoy) in the Southwestern part of the United States and forces them at pistol point, to take him through Mexico far down into Lower California.

He tells them frankly that he intends to liquidate them at the end of the journey, which becomes a nightmare of ever-increasing fear and tension. This goes on for several days and nights, while the fugitives keep in touch with the farflung police chase by radio and play hide-and-seek in this desolate, bleak, grimly pic-luresque land. The film is well written, thp thrpe rhar-aeters sharply defined and played with great discernment by 1he three stars. Mr. Talman.

in particular, gives a portrayal of such sheer malevolence and tprror-striking power that it stands out even among the many noteworthy villains of Ihe screen. Strangely enough, this photoplay, with its high suspense and savaee masculine stresses and conflicts, was directed by Ida Lupino. It i a littlp masterpiece of crime-depic'ion. Thp most unforgettable detail is. the fact that the killer's right eye is partially para-Ivrd.

It droops open even while he is or seems to he asleep; and it is this Eye the most baleful in fiction since that of the Old Man in "The TellTale Heart" which enables him to keep his captives from getting away at night.

One Who Knows. Answer While conceding your right to irked hy the jealousy of Mrs. Ross, I miMt point out that she can scarcely be blamed for letting her devotion verge upon possessive-ness. After all, she is attached to the man and undoubtedly convinced that such a Don Juan must be desirable to many women. Remember, also, that the eyes of love cannot discern age, and to her he is still the young Romeo who wooed her so enchant ingly.

That a gen-r'-ation separates him and his female em-j-loycs is a fact seldom obvious to his wife. All There To Work The place for any wife is definitely out of her husband's office. She should not snoop around to find out what bis secretary is like, what their working arrangements are, how friendly they are. or how devotedly Miss Secretary looks at the boss. For one thing, they find too often what they are seeking.

A wife who is determined to find a reason for jealousy will dig it out whether it's present or must be manufactured. A off' policy, as far as the office is concerned, lessen? opportunities for such machinations. A wife's presence around a place of business is upsetting to her husband, the secretary snd the rest of the staff. After all. everyone's" in the place to work, and the sudden appearance of a lady whose only purpose is to play detective at everyone else's expense is distracting, to say the least.

A woman who is inclined to be jealous of her husband's secretary might try taking an objective look at him. and ask herself if he, as he looks at 45, would have appealed to her at 22. The answer quite definitely would "no." she fcHs that thp relationship between the two is oveifriendly. let her be reminded that no two people can work co-operatively without harmony. Miss Secretary undoubtedly knows much more about her boss' business than his wife is interested in hearing and.

since hp is dependent to a larg extent upon a competent associate's understanding of his job. a strong personal feplinj is hound to arise hetvvpen thp two. This, however, must not be confused with romantic leanings, to which it is usually not even remotely related. Bctveen Two Haystacks Dnr Miss Durl like tiro boys. They nr Ihe same age.

Answer From such meagre information, no one in this world could help you to a decision. Why not keep both of them as friend until you know them well enough to make a choice yourself? fr cc tt 1 i 4. ux- cSiyu7 CHSW''oiji V. -W i i i ii ft ITU I 1 I 1 1 JSP jjsr Standing in a cloud of peach-blossom pink, Mr. Hoffman examines the progress of Spring in his hillside orchard.

And the customers become traditional, too. Peaches Sent To Georgia One woman with an appreciation of Ihe Rsltimore-county-grown peach comes out each year for a sppcial basket of the "Georgia Eelles." a small, sweet white peach. Thesp she dutifully sends to her father in Georgia that he may have his tasle treat of the vear. any innovations for himself. It is another matter with his peaches and other crops.

His products make the farm a "model one" in the estimation of Frank McFarland. Ball 1-mote county agricultural agent, and the University of Maryland extension service. The farm is used for field demonstrations for those students in the fruit-farm- classes sponsored by the university extension service. Goes In For Quality Whi'e Hup goes in for quality, he has no ambitions toward extending his domain. Production figures never bother him, is happy with his roadside stand (his only marketing medium his 23-year-old Iruck (still in perfect working order), his ancient mule.

Jack. Hup doesn't find any need for a telephone. The television set and the radio are recent acquisitions. New Methods Are Tried But he always finds the latest methods useful in caring for his peaches, adopting any new measures in orchard care suggested by Mr. McFarland.

Harvest time will find a great spurt of activity on the farm. Again the neighbors come out. so that each peach may be hand-picked the moment it is Storage On Wheels A platform on wheels is a sure way of making under-eave storage useful. A scooter's load of boxes and suitcases pulls out with ease. The parcels can be sorted where there's plenty of room saves bumped heads!

This is the peach-blossom pink of Charles G. Hoffman's orchards. The orchards wpre started f0 years ago when Mr. Hoffman's father came there with his young bride. The senior Mr.

Hoffman. George C. Hoffman, died six years ago, and the younger Mr. Hoffman has continued the farm. At The First Blush A nervous tremor is felt throughout, the neighborhood at the first blush of this pink.

The blossoms are a sure sign that the annual crisis is at hand that a sudden frost could brine ruin to the peach crop. This year the crisis was passed successfully early Wednesday morning. The threatened killing frost was blown away by a helping breeze. Share His IV orry Although the blossoms are Mr. Hoffman's he is "Hup" to his friends the whole neighborhood assumes a share of Hup's worry over the annual crisis.

The night frost warnings go out and the men folk all come out to Hup farm to help keep the vigil. Master of ceremonies at these events is Lewis A. Schmidt, from next door, who helps out with a cheering flow of conversation. End Of The Vigil Wednesday the vigil came to an end at 3 15 A.M. after the thermometer indicated th danger had passed.

Only then was the television set turned off. the jug of cider put away. Had th frost come, the men would have been there to set fire to the tires spread about the orchard. The smoke pall arising from the burning tires would prevent the freezing moisture from falling onto the blossoms. The tires (aside from the farm) represent Hup only hobby.

He collects the tires, gratefully accepting all he can get in anticipation of this annual event. In Pace Without Speed Hup is a man who keeps his fruit farm in pace with the times without accelerating the rate of speed.
