Iris promises ta Join the Cars ens at a noon beach partr. CHAPTER XXVI fHE next tew days found Carey alternating between depression and strange ela tion. The mood ot elation af fected his singing at the road house and Loris was quick to notice. "You sing like a man in love," she said to Carey. "You've been singing that way ever since the day you visited Iris Wrenshaw. What happened?" "(Josh, what a womanl" "Who. Iris?" "No, you. Full of suspicions." "I'm not suspicious, I only asked a plain question." "Okay, hen's your answer. Iris is still Interested in going on with our plans and she seems to like me a lot." LorU forced herself to smile. "Wonderful I YouU go places yet With her help." "But not without her. helpf" asked Carey. . "I couldn't say. All I know Is that you seem to feel that an architect needs the right contacts,' and eri dently Ins Is one." They dropped the subject and walked into the spotlight in the crowded roadhouse to sing their group ol familiar songs for the sec ond time that evening. Although Cany was singing remarkably well. Loris realised that her accompani ments wen almost mechanical. She could not match Carey In emo tion. Suddenly Loris hated the whole business. Bhe began to wish she never had seen Carey Carson. She actually wished that she had mar ried Ralph Burcb and had settled down in her home town. "I bat to say It, but you dldnt help much tonight," remarked Carey on the way home. "What do you meant" Loris asked, knowing perfectly well what he meant. "You played like a mechanical Elano. Cota'nly your heart wasn't i what you were doing." "Sorry. Just one of my off nights." LORU3 leaned back and closed her eyes, overcome by a sense ot utter futility. She thought of the money she had spent with two fa mous teachers in New York, teach ers who wen training her for con cert work. Those lessons had eaten so deep Into the money her grand mother bad left her that finally there was hardly enough left to live on. Even that Uttl had gone. Loris bit her Up to keep from crying. Miserably her thoughts went on. What had the gained by spending all that money? She could have held down the roadhouse too with out those expensive lessons. A fail ure at a pianist, and married to a man who got elated because a wo man with money said nice things to htm. "You areni angry, are rout" Carey asked. "Why should I be angry" "I thought perhaps my criticism had upset rou." Camp White Soldiers Given "Keys to City" In Hollywood Camp White (Spl.V To the many thousands ot soldiers and their friends who have been entertained and practically spellbound by the technique of the flying fleet of Pfc. Alex Colle Brusco his reception In Hollywood where he Just returned from a ten-day furlough will come as no surprise. Before Joining the army the smiling genial master ot the dance who la attached to the Ceneral Hospital Unit at Camp White was with several Earl Carroll productions and several other Broadway hits. He has per formed at many camp affairs since coming here as well si at most social functions In Medford and surrounding towns, In Hollywood Colle-Brusco was accompanied by Cpl. Dave staler, also of the Ceneral Hos pital Unit, danced with Alexis Smith, Dcanna Durbln, Ann Shirley, Jean Rogers and many other Hollywood celebrities. The soldier were Invited to the home ot Nigel Bruce where the well known character actor entertained them royally. Our boys were really thrilled when what stsrted out to be a request for a photograph ended In an ex change of autographed picture. one of which was carried back to Camp White with all care taken for Its safety where It Is proudly exhibited by the smiling Cello-Brusco. One of the big moments of the trip came when Pfc. Cello Brusco and Cpl. Zager were en tertained at a luncheon by Miss Kathleen Ridgewajr of the 20th I to Tre had my playing criticised by far better critics than you." Carey looked straight ahead. Again he felt trapped. Women wen funny. Loris had showed him plain, ly that he was only a means to an end. so why did she have to go feminine over Iris Wrenshaw. "Seems sort of funny that Mist Wrenshaw never mentioned having us for cocktails." said Loris. "She spoke of it the dsy I telephoned to Invite her for the beach party." 8he has a lot on her mind." T'Such as?" "Oh, for Pete's sake. Loris 1 1 told you she Is bavlng trouble getting the land she wants for our cottages. Besides, she Is doing a lot of figur ing on how much she can spend for the development." "But she did hare time to accept your Invitation?" "Of course. After all. It was a sort of nlncheck. Since we didn't com through with the beach party, w owed her a chance to accept the second time." LorU sat up and pushed back her wind-blown hair. "What's the program for the Saturday party?" "IRIS will come over around noon. 1 That leave the whole after noon for swimming, eating and talking about our project." "What am I supposed to do while rou are taUtlns? ' "Join In. Show some Interest. Be the helpful wife. Or U that role too difficult for rou? "Oh, I suppose I can be the actress if I try hard enough." "Then try. LorU Please." LorU turned so that she could watch Carer's face. "Tell me something, Carey," she said. "Suppose our positions were reversed. Suppose om wealthy man were interested In me. Suppose he told me glowing stories ol what he was going to do to make me a great concert planUt. Could you act the heiDiui nusoana?" "At least I'd do my darndest Anyway, I wouldn't go off In a cor ner and mooe." "You certainly dont think that's what I'm going to dor LorU flared. "I wouldn t know." "If you think that I care enough one way or the other to mope, you are sadly mistaken. "Good I ThU U one time I dont mind being wrong." "Of all the nerve thinking rd mope over you! laughed LorU. "Let's drop the matter," said Carey. "And how about baking on of your luscious chocolate layer cakes?" "I was planning to bake one for Sunday." "Would you mind having It ready for Saturday, or would you prefer not to share It with our guest?" "She's more than welcome to It," said Loris. "I'll bake an extra large one." I'HIK were turning Into the a driveway that led to Potters place. "Looks friendly with lights on. doesn't It?" LorU asked. "Too friendly, Carey answered. "So friendly It might Invite unwel come visitors." ' "Carey, dont say that! Pve been uneasy ever since the night I saw that man running Into the sha dows." "It vmml a man. It was your Imagination." "My Imagination doesnt have legal" "No? Then what makes It leap about so much?" "You're .Impossible. Carey. Let me out here at the front door." Carey stopped the car and Loris got out. holding up her one evening dress carefully. "Goodnight." the said. Tm very tired to I'm going straight to bed. Be sura to lock up carefully." "Yes.

"You'll never believe how nice they are to visiting soldiers down In Hollywood," Cello-Brusco told his admiring buddies upon hU return to Camp White today. "It's a soldier's dream, beauti ful girls and wonderful dancers. I never knew so many people were Interested In a soldiers welfare as when I visited the Hollywood Canteen," continued the danvlng star ot Camp White.

By Henry Corral! United Press Staff Correspondent With the United States Army Air Force near El Agheila. Dec. 18 UJ0 (Delayed) Amer ican fighting men, soma here such a short time they still are taking the tags off newly issued shirts and pants, were playing a big role today in the drive oh Tripoli. With their arrival and active participation in what is expected to D the final phase of the Af rican campaign, a new spirit has Deen Dorn In the British Eighth army. Like Fresh Breess The drive, enthusiasm, self- assurance and businesslike attl tude ot the men of the United States army air force is like a fresh breeze from the Mediter ranean. I have had a ringside seat In every phase of the war in this part of the world, and I've been mixed In more reverses than suc cesses in the last two years, as I reported the gallant holding battles of the British soldier. No msn can ever give the Tom my enough credit for what he has done and the extent he has suf fered to preserve democracy. He never Knew when he was beaten. He always came up for more. Any Briton, however, would admit a few months ago, during me withdrawal to El Alamein, that he was pretty tired. How many times last July and August was I asked: "When are the Yanks coming?" They were coming, all riant, Their tanks and planes were ar riving then and the Yanks were already here in large numbers when Lieut.-Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery began the battle that ruined the Afrika Korps at r-i Alamein, and clayed a con siderable part In that victory. They're on Hand Now They are here now, in greater numbers, snd with more eauio- mem than I ever thought possible 10 Dring to the Middle East in such a short time. And the breeze that has blown In with them Is a tonic to any man, tired or not. It is the breeze of victory. As far ss any American out here is concerned, victory is on 11s wsy. Marshal Erwln Rommel must have had a pretty good Idea what he was un against when he pulled out of EI Agheila, or he would never have retreated. We were certainly prepared to blast him out. As evidence of it, I have seen dozens of air dromes in the desert, jam-packed with American planes of all types, from pursuit ships by scores to converted Lockheed snd Douglas passenger planes and medium and four-motored bombers. They are all piloted by Amer icans and every airdrome is com HAP HOPPER, Washington Corrsspondsnt Hsr Com Trouble Al TOO UKI THAT THAT'S ABOUT TMS pa l RUSH- KHP MR. ' ...

Several American fighter squadrons are out in front, ma chine-gunning the retreating Germans, while other crack fighter units are going through battle maneuvers over airdromes, preparing to take over the of tensive which, it is hoped, will throw the Germans out of Af rica. Airliners la Us On one airdrome, I saw more than 40 passenger planes which were hauling hundreds of tons of fuel and supplies to front lines daily. Their presence was another surprise for Rommel, who obvi ously had figured that the Al lies could not cope with suodIv lines hundreds of miles long. The united States found the answer. arid the planes thst used to fly passengers, between New York and Chicago are out here now. helping the British Eighth army to deliver the knockout blow to Rommel. I've seen 30-foot-long gasoline trucks, fresh from the United States, in the middle ot the des ert And we've got hundreds more jeep and trucks than we had a few weeks ago.

CRIME STORY FAN Lakeland, Fla., Dec. 23. U.R Friends of Bryan Whidden, 29, an avid reader of crime stories, said he had told them often that he might kill some one some time "just to see whet it felt like."

According to police, who said he confessed the slaying, he felt an impulse to kill his mother Saturday night He allegedly struck her with a hammer four or five times.
