Every day in the year, blaz- ing headlines list fatalities and other highway accidents, and some 'are caused by excessive drinking. A man starts with a few beers, but sometimes his desire grows beyoad his con- trol. 1 know that your job is a grueling one and it takes its toll, but other men have found ways to relax, and your doctor can help you there. It is her fear for your safe- ty that attends your wife every time you start out pn your route. You may not'be able to understand it, but if you could know how such ap- prehension can induce continu- ous anxiety you would not con- demn her to another day of it. Reason does not enter, it is sheer fright that she suffers. Only you can rescue her, Let her know that you have stopped drinking. And when you have gone without it long enough to prove yourself, she will believe in you again. [t may take longer. this time to convince her she can depend on your word; you should have known she meant what she said the first time she left. You know it now. How can you hesitate? * * * "Dear Anne Hirst: Nine months ago 1 met a boy on a blind date. When he went back to college, he started writ- ing regularly. I invited him to t. dance one weekend, then he asked me to one of his college affairs. I was so sure I had found a wonderful new friend! } "But when he came back I only saw him twice, and he has stopped writing at all. "A friend of his tells me that he thinks I'm a fine girl, but he doesn't want to get serious with anybody . What can I do to rhange his mind?

TIME TO COOL OFF Irate motorist James Kilbane, of Muskegon, braked his car to a standstill after being bumped by another motorist, took oft his jacket and tossed it on the hood of the car which had hit his, and prepared to do battle with the offending motorist. The offender wasn't at all an- xious to pay damages in physi- cal retribution, so immediately drove off, faking the spare jacket with him still draped over. "the hood of his car . was short. €ooL COED-Whle her classmates sweltered, this young grad- vate of the Bridgeton High School did something about the weather, During the rehearsal for the commencement exercises, sha hiked up her gown and took advantage of the cooling breezes. lI Girl Crook Is Too Sentimental Shortly after the local church clock had chimed two am. a trimly built, pretty girl of twen- ty-four slipped quietly out. of the back door of the little Ba- varian farmhouse where she lodged, mounted her bicycle and rode off through the dark- ness of the fine summey's night. She rode swiftly, + without lights, carefully avoiding .the main road by cutting through side lanes which led from the village. She knew that she was unlikely to meet a policeman or a belated wayfarer there. Twenty ~. minutes. - later she reached her destination -- a fair- sized, isolated house overlook- ing a stream. She was going" to 10b it, She knew that the wealthy widow who owned it was away in Austria on holiday for at least a fortnight. Coolly, with a skill born of long practice, the young woman burglar used a jimmy to force a kitchen window at the side of the house. She scrambled through noiselessly. Ofice inside, she rapidly - lift- ed" some jewellery worth about $600 and a wad of money which she found concealed at the back of a desk in the widow's down- stairs sitting-room, She also took a few silver spoons from a sideboard drawer. Then she calmly and silently helped herself to a glass of Rhine wine before continuing her hunt for loot in the upstairs rooms. She found little there worth taking -- only, a fat wal- let at the rear of a dressing- table drawer. She did not pause {fo examine its contents. Time She must quit the house and speed unseen back to the farmhouse before daylight © came, Within three quarters of an KAROL'S COSTUME-=-U.S. tennis player Karol Fageros shows the playing costume which she had for the All-England champion- ships at Wimbledon: hour she was back in bed in her room at the farmhouse. She smiled grimly as she heard the fat farmer and his wife snoring inthe room below hers. Iow- astonished this honest old pair would be if they learned that their well-spoken girl lodger was a professional burglar! It was only after she had reached the comparative safety of a big German city some days later that the girl examined the contents of the wallet closely. A cursory inspection had shown - that it contained letters of some kind. 1dly one afternoon, after plan- ning another burglary that night, she began to read the lelters. They were passionate love let- ters written to the widow by her late husband before their marriage. The girl burglar was nd but she felt strangely touched by what the dead lover had written. And when she came to a phrase in which he had sworn 'his "eternal love, no matter what the future may hold," she made a resolve. Thosé letiers must be returned to the place where she had found them. And so it was that a woman crook showed a redeeming fea- ture by returning to the house of the woman she had robbed and putting back the treasured love letters, Acting on impulse, she also refurned the widow's jewellery and spoons which, she felt, might have been gifts to the widow from her late husband. But she kept the money she had stolen. VISIT TO A FLOATING NURSERY--Two little misses, outfitted in nautical pleated suits of sharkskin, visit the "floating" nursery aboard the Cunard Liner "lvernia", a child's paradise of toys, balloons, and familiar cartoon friends. Their ship- mate suits, chemise-styled, have permanently pledted skirts, overblouses with spanking white collars. 'HRONICLES PGINGERFARM 4 EAL a. P.Clarke Partner is happy ... he Is busy .in the hayfield once again. Some years ago Johnny was working for Partner; now Partner is working for Johnny -- but with- out pay, 1 might add, and only for odd days. Money doesn't enter into it because Johnny is always ready to do anything for us so naturally we are glad to help him when we can. Johnny has found it so hard to get good hired help that he has practically given up trying. Early last week he blew. in here to see if Part- ner would go over and help him get ready for haying - as 1 thou- ght to sharpen mower knives and other odd jobs. But when Partner came home that night 1 was told he -had mowed eight acres of hay with the team on the mower. It is years since Part- ner handled horses so 1 wag sur- prised he had been able to tack~ ~ le the job at all. I know-he couldn't have harnessed the horses 'but Johnny was on hand .to do that. The "boss" seems quite satisfied with his "hired man" - says he knows what he is doing and that's more than he can say for most of the men he's had around. Even Sunday was a busy day for us - but from a different an- gle. Art and Dave came along about eight o'clock in the morn- ing, picked up Partner and then they all went to see "Open House" at the new Woodbine, It is an annual event but for three hours only, when visitors are all- owed to go through the stables and paddocks and see the horses brought in and out for exercise, - and thus get a little of the in- side story of what goes on behind the scenes during the races. I said it was a good day to go sin- ce it was one occasion when money could be neither won nor lost | Partner enjoyed it and David was: thrilled because he was permitted to ride one of the horses. an old retainer, 1 imag- ine, 'as he was out on pasture without anyone looking 'after him and children were allowed to ride him. Or maybe her = more than likely it was a mare but 1 forgot to inquire. I would like to have heard more about the trip but getting details from a man is - like trying to draw hen's teeth | After lunch Partner ard 1 headed for Milton = via the back concessions ~ the highway was far too busy for pleasure driv-~ ° ing. By cutting across country we also hoped to see what pro- gress was being made on High- way 401 from Peel County into Halton, We were amazed at the amount of grading that had been done. In spite of the fact that good farm land has been taken over yet we find it thrilling to to sce these wonderful new high= ways tuking shape and at very little inconvenience to tHe trav= elling pub'ie = far less than one finds where old "highways are being widened necessitating de- tours and rough roads every few miles, We had a very definite pur- pose in going to Milton, - to pick - up Ditto at the veterinary surg- eon's office, and of course, to see Bob: and Joy. I talked Partner into going with me as 1 had an idea it would need two of us to bring Ditto home without mis- adventure. - after the joy ride 1 had had the day before when 1 was alone! We decided on a visit to the "vet"to get away from having to deal with a litter of kittens every few months. When 1 took Ditto away on Sat- urday 1 had her in a nice, deep, well - ventilated carton, secure- ly fasteped at the top. Or so 1 thought"I reckoned without my Ditto | Before 1 had reached the highway she was out of the box. At the village store 1 begged a crate - the sort. that pineapples come in, with slats too close for Ditto to get through. But that didn't stop her. She chewed and clawed at the slats until she had one broken and thus was able to- make her escape . once again. After that 1 gave up. Ditto then proceeded to go where she plea- sed ~- from one seat to another, exploring every nook and corner of the car - and 1 nearly roast- ing with the windows almost shut. Occasionally she would settle down on my lap so part of the time 1 was holding Ditto with one hand and driving with the other so you may be sure 1 got on to the back roads as soon ag ft was possible, Ditto has more spunk and fight about her than any cat we ever owned. When we were coming Lome Partner had her 'on' his knee nearly all the way. We could: ° n't take a chance on her injur- ing herself by scrambling around in the car again. She wasn't really able but she might have tried it. Anyway she is now very, happy - glad to be home again™ ~ but"feeling a little sorry for herself and anxious to be petted. We are happy too - glad that Nie episode was just one of a nd. Next week, if 1 don't forget, 1 must tell you of the unexpected view we got from our bedroom~ window, A celebration, no less ! Shying Horse Aids Romance When she was eighteen the beautiful Viennese bareback rider who is now the wife of the well-known ammal trainer, Albert Schumann, had an acci- dent Her horse shied at some students who stood at the ring- side, she fell heavily and was never able to ride again. A young doctor in the audi- ence tended her and fell in love with her so completely that-he ond a few of his friends follow- ed the circus from town to town, sometimes travelling over one -hundred miles. Finally, he: pro- _ posed, but was rejected and fol- lowed the circus no more. She knew she wouldn't be happy marrying out of the cir- cus life, and later married Schu- mann when he worked in her 'father's circus in Austria. A year or more ago when he was ill, he and his wife went to see a Harley Street specialist, end were intrigued by wonder- ful circus paintings lining the staircase and hanging on the waiting-room walls. "You must be very interested in the circus to have collected all these beau- titul pictures," she told the doe- tor. ' "Indeed I am," he replied. "I have loved the circus ever since I was a young man in Austria, A very dear friend of mine fell madly in love with the most beautiful girl in a circus, and I used to accompany him for miles as he courted her from town to town where the circus was play- ing. Alas, she turned him down." "I think that perhaps I am that girl you speak of," said Mrs. + Schumann, who learned that the young doctor who courted her now had a practice and univer- sity fellowship in the Midlands, "You must not fail to go and call.on him when next you are in that part of the world," added the specialist. "He will be de- lighted to see you again. And of course, to meet your husband. He, as a matter of fact, has never married." "Over my dead body you go to see him!" declared the husband firmly. _ Nor have they, Pamela Mac- --gregor- Morris -concludes, telling the story in an excellent account of sawdust-ring life.
