That's where I'm stopping." "Wasn't it? When she threw the axe at me I thought I'd split." "Well, did you get any surprise present for your birthday?" "Yes, rather. I got a book from Bill I lent you last year." "Brown hasn't had his hair cut for ten years." "He must be mad." "No, only bald." "Why on earth do they make so much fuss of that singer, Miss Smith?

FIRTH -- 200 BAY ST. - TORONTO Britons Keep Bomb Shelters In Spite of the Passing of the Czech Crisis, They Are Preserving Them "For Future Contingencies" Since the passing of the Czechoslovak crisis householders and institutions have been showering the British War Office and the A.P.P. with inquiries as to what should be done with the bomb-proof shelters recently dug and constructed. The War Office has remained silent, but the A.R.P. in a brief circular advises that they he preserved "whenever convenient, for future contingencies." How it is possible to do this, Alfred Herbert shows in The London Times, with text and diagram. These in terms of A, B, C, D show the trench, the soil covering it, the surplus soil used to fill in the space between the trench to a uniform level and the line of the new turf over all. In this way he has preserved for "future contingencies" his trenches at Coventry, while continuing to play all sorts of games on the new soil above. ^Etching TORTURE In A Minute For quick relief from the itching of eczema, blotohej, pimples, athlete's foot, Kales, rashes and other akin eruptions, apply Dr. Dennis* pure, cooling, antiseptic, liquid D.

Whitey is badly beaten in the gym fight by Fred. Humiliated, he goes around with a chip on his shoulder, putting all his hopes on the election. To anyone who refuses to listen to his pompous orations, he offers insults. But election day arrives and he finds, to his surprise and horror that he has polled just one vote--Pee-wee's. Furious, he packs his bag and makes for the road. "A lousy joint." "I didn't mean it. Say something, Pee-wee." "Pee-wee, lad, Vtt keep the candy on tap." Suddenly, Whitey hears someone calling to him. It is Pee-wee, following him down the road. The little fellow begs him not to go but Whitey tells him to scram. Blinded by tears, Pee-wee moves away and fails to see an approaching car. There is a horrible squeal of brakes and then all at once, there is Pee-wee's unconscious figure in the road. Sobbing* Whitey picks him up. A few moments later, Father Flanagan comes running down the hill with some of the boys. They all gather around Whitey, feeling that the accident is his fault. He hangs around for a while, trying to get into Pee-wee's hospital room but no one except Father Flanagan is allowed there. Now Whitey feels that there is no place in Boys Town for him. He starts off down the road. Listen kid. Remember. No squawking Whitey is walking about aimlessly in the night. Suddenly, he hears a noise.

Whitey falls to the ground writhing, a bullet in his leg. Don't miss reading the powerful concluding J.
