Certainly we may be dragged Into a war, and It we are, It will ,be bitter and cost us dear -but wo will win. too, and there will be a better world to make. And It is by no means certain that we will be dragged In. Certainly there are social changes afoot, new and untried paths to tread -hut when did 'Americans ever flinch from the new and untried? Nobody ever guaranteed anything to the first set tiers, the covered wagoners, ,the sod-busters, and plainsmen, .the homesteaders; they plunged straight ahead, and they didn't try before they were hurt, nor much, nor often, even when (hey were.

"Authorized sources" In Ber lin answer him by quoting Hit ler's statement at the beginning of the war that he would use ONLY SUCH WEAPONS as were used by the enemy In oth er words, that he won't use gas until his enemies do. DAY no attention to this e.x . change. BOTH SIDES are prepared to use gas to the limit if a situation should arise where it seemed to promise a knockout blow. The point to remember is that if gas isn't used It won't be chivalry that prevents it. What will prevent use of gas will be knowledge that .the other fellow i can use it just as effectively.

' 1 1 ' " nLUnl-L NEA SERVICE. INC. YESTERDAY: Suzanne re grets her angry denunciation of Martha, but the damage is done. Bill leaves the hospital without another word to Paul. Martha begs him to believe in her, tells him Paul has been a loyal, true friend to Bill and to her. Bill be lieves, but tells Martha to quit her job, to stop seeing Paul. GREEN EYED MONSTERS CHAPTER XXII " Martha Marshall never re membered, afterward, what she said to Bill when he asked her to resign from Air Transport. All she remembered was the sick surprise, the sudden aching sense of loss. She loved her job. She loved the busy office, the ringing tele phone. She loved the feeling of competence and usefulness, the heartening self-respect for her self as an individual, that came at her desk. And her check meant a great deal to her. To give it up was to face the bleak prospect of months and months of empti ness. To face days of house work. Days of dishwashing, days of bed-making, days of car ing for the children and of .list ening to Eugene's endless, un changing complaints about busi ness. "I wouldn't mind," she thought helplessly, "if it were necessary if it were sensible. But it isn't!" Yet though the blood pounded in her temples, though her knees felt queer, she promised, of course. Afterward, she had that to cling to. Bill had asked, and she had promised. She told herself that Bill want ed her to quit so that she and Paul Elliott wouldn't he thrown together any more. "He trusts me. He does trust me. But he thinks this way it'll be easier." Maybe ne was rignt. tne set her lips. Only a few months, after all. Perhaps it wasn't much; to ask. Perhaps knowing that Bill could have no doubts, no fears, while she' lived at Helen's would be worth this price. So, the day Helen came home from the hospital, she asked gaily, "Think you can stand me around the house until Bill ets out of the army?" "Helen's fan: glowed. "Mar tha! Do you mean it? Darling, it would be wonderful! But you mustn't unless you really want to. Don't do it just because because I need you." "Of course 1 w'nnt to! There's only one string lo II. I've simply got to gel my car and Butch." "The children will love him." The children did love him. They loved him almost to death. Poor Butch, whose life had been peaceful and easy, was forced lo fetch sticks whether he lelt,tj1(, Wp(.j before. like it or not. His naps were in- terrupted by childish fingers pulling at his tail or tweaking his ears. The baby climbed up on his broad hack and used him for a pony. Genir tormented him until Martha wanted to scream, Martha had written a letter of resignation to the Chief. His an-! swering letter expressed regret. enclosed a check to cover two weeks' vacation, "which we feel you hax'o amply deserved." Paul, who had left the hospital the day after Suzanne's outburst, had not written or phoned. Mar tha understood that. Just as he must understand tho reason for her resigning. One of the bright spots nf liv ing in the little bungalow nf Hay xille xvas the fact that it was close enough to Hill's camp for regular Sunday visits at trilling expense. Once Eugene and the children piled into the car and looked around the camp. But most Sundays Martha drove up alon in the old car. Eugene's mechanic al the garage hail done ; a good job of rejuvenation. ! Hill and .Martha and Hutch I spent Sundays which were al- most, if not unite, the equal of 'the blissful Sundays they had S known before Hill became a snl Idler. They tramped the woods i beyond the camp, they sat 101 and i hours ill the car. talking making plans for the future. Once in a while. Bill asked casually, "See anylxxly from home?" She always said, ".No. How would 1?" The camp became as familiar to Martha as the Held nulside Air Transport once had been. J She even made the acquaintance of a piquant little xrsnn xho was the wife of a regular army j sergeant and who bragged almut having lived on army osts from Schoricld, in Hawaii, to Fuft Pa vis. In the Canal Zone. "Me," said Aggie Moore gaily. "I'm a maneuver xxidow from i'xvay back. Always swear 1 11 I stay home and alw ays cune i trotting along." She sent .Mar jlha a shrewd glance, there in the NCO liuhroom. where she had i Invited Martha lo wait while Hill scouted around alter his pass.

A-ie Moore went on, matterof factly, "You can't make a soldier out of a guy the jealousy bug's been eating on. And let me tell you, in the army like every place else, it's the girl behind the guy who counts! "You know what they're doing now? New enlistees can't marry until they've made one of the first three pay grades. It may be because the brass hats think a soldier lower man tnira can i support a wife. But if you ask me and I've been in the army 10 years -it's because wives cer tainly can play hell with the army!" "I suppose they can." The other girl sent her a quick, appraising glance. "I hope you won't think I'm butting in where I don't belong, Mrs. Mar shallbut just lately I've been hearing thai your husband's get ting to be a regular guardhouse lawyer." "Guardhouse 1 a w y e r?

Gymkhana, Lovely, Musical, Will Be Shown This Week Thursday and Friday evenings of this week the much talked about Gymkhana will be present ed by the girls' physical education department at 8 o'clock in the Roseburg high school gym. The show, originated last year by Miss Muriel Joy White, instructor, proved such a success that It has been enlarged upon and Is unique in its elaborateness. Before a huge red heart a spec tacle of girlish charm and grace will pass in rcxicw. Never before have sixty couples dressed In cos tumes of the Austrian court o 1870 danced the beautiful Vien nese xvaltz. The scene, "A Ball In Old Vienna," is breath-taking in its loveliness. In tune with the patriotic theme, the marching and drills are entirely in red, xvhito and blue. A hundred girls take part in each section. Lila Sanders, who made a hit last year in producing laughter, will perform again in a Pirate dance; Gene Richeso'n and Doris Chapler are her "buddies" in this number. The spirit of the Tyrol is seen in the gay costumes of the schot tisches. To keep up with modern times a bit of original jitter-bug routine will entertain the au dience. Ruth Ann Ruhl, lovely in a Valentine toe dance, introduces a new element into the program. The junior high acrobats, with little Ann Ackley, as mascot, will entertain with some new stunts.
