Bess and Mary were off for a rolicking evening with the three gay soldiers. SYNOPSIS Over the Macauley house in the small town of Ithaca, California, hovers the protective spirit of Mat- thew, the father who died two years before. He loves them all, five year old Ulysses, his eldest son Marcus, in an army camp, his young daughter Bess, his beloved wife Katey. Then there's sixteen year old Homer who has a Job after school as a messenger boy. Already Homer has seen sorrow, despair and death through his work. He wonders why life Is so difficult. He thinks about love, hurt because his girl Helen El- liot favors his rival, Hubert Ack- ley. Then there's rich Diana Steed who's leading Tom Spangler, man- ager of the telegraph office, a- round by the nose. Homer is am- azed at how his friend Is taken In by her. He worries, afraid that Spangler will make a big mistake trri marrying Diana. CHAPTER FOUR The streets were wet and glis- tening with rain. Bess had been shopping with Marcus' girl, Mary .Arena. They walked along, happy under their cellophane umbrellas, enjoying the light shower. In front of a drugstore three soldiers, respectively betraying humor, good nature and mischief in their twink- ling eyes, hailed them. Then they came up and bowed . worshipfully before the girls. Bess • giggled and so did Mary. One of the fellows doffed his cap and spoke. "My ladies, we of the great Democratic army, your humble servants, the soldiers, here today and we hope, here tomor- row, thank you for your beautiful faces—in times of dryness no less than in times of rain, May I pre - le dent my comrades and your devot- F'• ed admirers." He indicated the tall, rangy fellow. "This is Texas. k He is from New Jersey." Now the next one. "This is Horse. lie is from Texas." The third one stepped up. "I am Fat. I am from hunger. Now, more than anything else I hunger for .companionship. You see, it feels better having girls near. Tt smells better than just soldiers." Bess laughed. "We were going to the Kinema movie." "To the Kinema," Fat intoned e HAVEN'T SLEPT A SINGLEWINK ALTHO I'VE TRIED MY BEST • WISH i HAD SOME !MILES :NERVINE: GET MY REST ■ 4 Do your worries often keep you awake at night?

"Ah, consider with generous hearts our humble peti- tion, for we are of one family, the human, and except for war we might never meet. What do you say? To the movies with us?" "Is he crazy?" Mary whispered to Bess. "No Mary he's just lonely. Let's go to the movies with them." A moment later, they were all seated in the Kinema. It was lov- ing and warm, sisterly and broth- erly. They revelled and cheered at the newsreels of Churchill and Roosevelt. They wept and laughed at the romantic movie. Later, the boys sent telegrams to their folks and girls and read them to Bess and Mary. * * * Finally, it was time for fare- wells. The moment was hushed. Easily and innocently, Fat kissed Bess and Mary. The Horse shouted, "Weil, what about us? What about me and Texas? We're somebody too. We're in the army too." So the girls kissed them and then the three boys leaped and frolicked down the street until they were out of sight. If Homer had seen them all he would have known that here was another kind of love too, the love of comradeship among strangers, the warmth of the human towards those who are lonely and far from home. The next morning Homer slept later than usual. It was Saturday. No school. The clock said nine - thirty when he got to the break- fast table. From the empty lot outside came sounds of Ulysses and the other kids having a foot- ball game. Homer smiled paternal- ly. Then he protested to his moth- er, "Gee, I didn't want to sleep this late Ma. Why didn't you call me?" Her eyes crinkled with love, "You're working hard Homer. You must rest." "I'an not working so hard. Gee Ma, I wish you wouldn't worry about me. You know I'd sort of like to feel in some way that maybe I could take Marcus' place a little. Let me do the worrying for you. I'll do it fine." All that day he worked harder than ever just to back up his breakfast speech, He was still fill- ed with the nice glow that evening when the policeman stuck his head in the telegraph office. "Hey Hom- er, your little brother Ulysses is lost outside. You better come and get him." * * * There was a crowd surrounding little Ulysses. The child's face was streaming with tears. The most awful thing had happened. He had been staring in a store window at a Mechanical Man. The man, dis- gusted with only an audience of one had suddenly made a terrible face and a clawing gesture. Ulys- ses had run as if goblins were after him, shrieking and terrified. Then a crowd had come and that was even worse. Homer knelt beside him. "What's the matter? What are you crying about?" He undertsood. "Ah you're just scared that's all." Ulysses repeated in wonder: "Seared? Arn I scared?" Homer swooped him up on the handlebars of his bike. "There's nothing to be afraid of, You don't have to be afraid any more." A big smile broke over the Child's face. Life was opening up for him. This was a new exper- ienee. He hugged himself and re- peated the delicious words. "I'an afraid. I'm afraid." Homer's breast swelled. Be felt quite important and grownup, res- cuing Ulysses, He was doing the worrying for Ma, taking Marcus' place. The feeling mounted in him, soared. He couldn't know it but it 'was his father's spirit that so moved him, preparing him for the future. Way up on high, Matthew Ma- cauley was watching his eldest son Marcus leaving camp. He was speaking soft words of prophecy. "And now the orders have Come for these American boys ... kids from big cities and from little towns, from farms and from of- fices, from rich families and from poor families,' kids brilliant and swift inspirit and kids slow and steady. These are the Americans. They are not unafraid, but they have accepted the necessity to dis- miss their fear and if it so hap- pens, to die. Ah Marcus, you will be joining me perhaps , ."• The troop train which Matthew saw was moving through the night. One of the soldiers was putting on a bit of horseplay. At the further end of the car a trio sang some folk songs. Marcus and his pal Tobey sat together. Tobey's round face was solemn. "You know Marcus I feel pretty lucky. If it hadn't been for this war I wouldn't have run into you." He moistened his lips. "Tell me Marcus are you going to care muck if you're killed?" Marcus' face shadowed with thought. "Yes Tobey I'll care a lot. There are my folks back home, the old neighborhood, the kids that used to be In my classes. Those are all the things I want to go back to." Tobey had been listening intent- ly. He spoke• with matter-of-fact- - ness, not sadness. "Well, being an orphan, I haven't got a family to go back to. Or a girl waiting for me like Mary." He turned half . around in his seat. "But you know it's a funny thing Marcus. I al- most feel that Ithaca's my home town too." He paused for a mo- ment, then: "If we get through all right will you take me back with you, show me all the places you. knew?" An inner lamp seemed to light up Marcus' face. "Yeah. I want to do that Tobey and I want you to meet my folks. Oh we're poor, al- ways have been. My father. was a great man, not a success. We didn't ever have any' more money than we needed. And you know what? I think your'e going to be crazy about my sister Bess." He reach- ed in his pocket and pulled out a snapshot. "Here. Take her pic- ture. It's yours to keep—the ..way I keep Mary's In my pocket." ' * * * Tobey looked at the tiny photo- graph with reverence. "Bess sure is a beautiful girl Marcus. I don't know if a guy can fall in love with a girl without meeting her but I feel like I'm in love with Bess al- ready." "Maybe she'll feel the same. way. And If you love each other what's to stop you from getting' married?" As if in answer Tobey quietly began a prayer. His face was rais- ed, his hands clasped as he said: "Just get me to Ithaca if You can, Anything You say -but let me get home. Protect everybody, keep them from pain, send the home- less to their homes, get me to Ithaca. Amen." • "Amen," ' Marcus echoed. His eyes were shiny. "That's a good prayer Tobey. I hope it's answer- ed." He opened his bag and drew out writing pad and pencil. "Think I'll get a letter off home. I'm right in the mood for it I guess." '(Tobey and Marcus have dis- cussed an after -the -war future. But now they are heading for battle. Will they get back to Ithaca, to their loved ones, to build the Peace?

New Inner Tube To Outdo Rubber Elasto-Plastic Substance 100 Per Cent Reclaimable Development of a new elasto- plastic material which, its dis- coverers assert, promises to out- mode rubber in automobile inner tubes and numerous other prod- ucts, was announced recently by Glenn L. Martin, president of the aircraft manufacturing company which bears his name. The substance, which has been named marvinol, is not a syn- thetic rubber, Martin declared, but a new material better suited for many of the purposes for which rubber has been used than rubber itself. "The new chem -elastic sub- stance, which in effect makes it possible to manufacture inner tubes from coal, salt and water on standard rubber fabricating equipment has been picked out of the research laboratory before its uses have been fully exploit- ed," Martin said in .a statement. "This was done because we were aware that marvinol an- swered critical war needs—espe- cially for automobile inner tubes and delicate gloves for surgeons." Martin said that one of the principal advantages of the sub- stance was that it was 100 per cent reclaimable — a property which he said "may in, itself revo- lutionize the entire inner tube industry." Another valuable property, he said, is marvinol's ability to retain air when used in inner tubes. Arctic Country Farmers' Paradise Grain, Vegetables Flourish In Short Hot Summer Perhaps the most flourishing part of the world at the present time is Alaska. Its rapidly increas- ing population have no fear of air raids or invasipn and they are in- tensely busy producing not only minerals but food stuffs. For long Alaska has figured as an Arctic country where the only products were gold and furs. To - 'day it has become a great farming centre. True, the winter is long and cold, but the growth in sum- mer is incredibly swift. A visitor to Fort McPherson, which is North of the Arctic Circle, says that on June 20th new buds on the trees were just per- ceptible. Forty-eight hours later the trees wore in full leaf. In July it was unbearably hot. On five days in July the average shade temperature was 95 deg. Fahren- heit. Potatoes do well, and have been grown successfully sixty miles north of the Arctic Circle. Cab- bages, cauliflower, lettuce, car- rots, , parsnips, beet, onions and rhubarb all flourish during the short, warm summer. The Russians tell the same story. At Igarka in Arctic Siberia the cabbages are finer than those grown on the Volga. Flowers are marvellous. Violets, marguerites, forgetmet-nots are twice the us- ual size. At Khibin on the Kola Peninsula 20 tons of potatoes have been dug from an acre. Oats grow five feet high, barley and wheat ripen, and all kinds of vegetables flourish. British Cheese Supply Doubtful A subsidy on milk to be used in the manufacture of cheese, an- nounced last week, is designed to avert the pressing danger that Canada will be unable to fulfil her agreement to provide Britain with 150,000,000 pounds of cheese in the present contract year. The anxiety over the cheese contract is part of a picture which has changed radically in a year. Ii_ 1942 there was anxiety over butter supplies, while cheese out- put was making records. Later, butter production was encouraged by subsidies. ' Now butter production has in- creased to the point where it Is possible to make a quantity avail- able to the United Kingdom, as well as meet Canadian ration re- quirements and the needs of the' forces at home, as well as supply ships entering Canadian ports. The subsidy on milk to be used in cheese production will be 30 cents a 100 pounds and will be payable from October 1 to April 30. Officials said they hoped the effect would be to keep dairy herds in cheese manufacturing areas up to full production dur- ing the coming fall and winter months. Cuts Consumption Of Fuel In Half A method by which "three or four shovels of coal will keep burning for 24 hours and give plenty of heat" has been devised by Wilfrid S. Higgins of Niagara Falls. Fuel consumption is cut more than half during the months when only a small fire is required, he said, by "bricking up" one side of the firepot, thereby reducing the size of the pot. "You simply put a bed of ashes on top of the grates on one side of the firepot. Then lay the bricks on that, piling them one on top of the other loosely. Five or six bricks are sltfficient. Cover them. with a light surface of ashes."
