stood and unappreciated.
At an Idaho ski resort, Caro-
4 line has fallen in love with a
rich young Argentine and is
planning to divorce Anthony at
once when Anthony arrives on
the scene.

pays assiduous attention to Caro

works of the plot, with the re
sult that Caroline sees the light
and is reunited with her under

FORCE, FIRMNESS
New York. Sept 6. (JPh-
Wendell L. Willkie asserted to
day the United States should
meet the challenge to its policy
of freedom of the seas with "de
termination and force."
"Once again, savage and bes
tial might has challenged the
right of America to freedom of
the seas," Willkie declared on a
CBS radio program celebrating
the 18th birthday of King Peter
of Yugoslavia.
"I know I speak the over
whelming sentiment of my fel
low Americans in urging the
president to meet the challenge
with determination and force,
Willkie said. "1 hope, and I
know you hope, that the presi
dent of the United State serves
notice on nazi Germany that the
United States expects its ships
to go unmolested in their pas
sage across the North Atlantic,
and those interfering with them
will receive the result they are
entitled to.

I am not even asking for the

such superb grandeur In the
northwest that they ought to be
preserved. For my own part. I
would like to see the establish

national monuments.
"In such areas hunting and:
fishing and mining and water
development for power and irri
gation would be permitted. Of
course lumbering would not be,
but neither would lumbering be
allowed if effect were given to
the forest service policy of set

primitive areas."

The navy launched the light
cruiser Atlanta today with the

speed of the fastest United

Her armament and certain
features intended to Increase
her speed were kept strict nav
al secrets.
Partly streamline with the
deck enclosing the forward fun

innovations used in the latest
destroyers but being tried for
the first time among cruisers

ships now under construction.

cruiser will be, officers said.

LAST REQUEST OF

In fact, she was so determined

dye, no crimping" of her hair
