CHAPTER ZXVTH THAT startling Invitation from IrU Wrenshaw worried . both Lorla and Carey as the days crawled by. It worried Carey a lot As for Lorls, she was more angry than appre hensive. She kept feeling that It was all Carey's fault, and had to Cght to keep from saying so. for she well knew that any dis cussion of IrU would precipi tate a quarrel. Iris had mentioned a ten-day trip, and on the day before they figured Irl was due home. Lorl could hold In no longer. Carey was so low and preoccupied that he was unable even to hold his attention on th ton- they were rehearsing for the nightly roadhouse show. "If you had come light oil. and told Iris Wrenshaw the truth at the very start." Loiis exploded, "you wouldn't now be looking like a man half out of his mind." "I didnt, so why talk about tt BOW?" "Because you an letting the whole business ruin your singing, that's why. If you keep on this way. you will lose us our Job at Th Boulevard." Silently Carey walked to th win dow and stood looking out. Watch ing him, Lorts began to feel more sympathetic. Perhaps It was unfair VI uec iaj uwuib iiuu im vTvrjuiius. After an. his future career as an architect was all-important. And anything that changed Iris' friend ly attitude would has been a drawback to Carey's future. - "We dont have to accept her In vitation, you know. We still could tell Iris the truth," said Lorl. "Why not say we are called away suddenly, like we did the first tune?" "You mean. Just keep digging ourselves In deeper and deeper. A beautiful Idea." "We can simply decline her in Tttatlon. and say we're sorry but w have a previous one." "Suppose she asks us for another evening? We cant keep on making up Invitations." Carey paced the room, then whirled with a fresh worry. "Suppose IrU decides to go to the roadhouse without us with a party of other friends?" "I hardly think she'll do that. Apparently we are the only people she d care to be seen there with." "Nonsense I snapped Carey "She's not that snobbish. And be sides, she really seemed Interested tn seeing the two performers." Lorts giggled and said: "Imagine the expression on Iris' face when she sees who the talented perform ers are!" "Sorry, but my sens of humor won't stretch that far." "Then you better start exercising It After all. what's so tragic about this?" 4 "It may be plenty tragic for me said Carey. "Thing are about to break on building the cottages tor GOOD INFLUENCE It took a southern Oregon girl to turn the trick. Flora Miller of Ashland, who has com pleted her basic training In the WAAC's and is now doing reo reatlon work for the women's army, married Terrance Rosen, a Drake university student, who refused to register for selective service. Now he is expecting to be called for duty in the U. 8. army in 1843 and Is "liking if Last summer Rosen refused to register for selective service "as a protest against war and the conscription act and not to defy the law or set myself above the government of the United States." A drama student, he recently appeared in a war play and the WAAC, who want to be a playwright when the war's over, wrote Rosen a letter of commendation for his work In It. He answered and romance flourished. Now Rosen says "I want to do anything I can to help, par ticularly to help the boys out there." He Is a former student Ptor it i Da Moines, Ia church. They were married Sun day and. bid known each other Al. sg-g at at sv . . . .UK UwANI BOY SHORIAGESEEN IN Iris, and it might upset everything to have ner discover I am actually a singer In a cheap roadhouse." TOO are making an honest liv ing." Lens remarked. "And If Iris Is so shallow as to let your singing In a roadhouse turn net against sou. she Is not worth ooth erlng about If she really want to help a young architect get ahead, she certainly will not let your sing ing lob Influence her unless It makes her take an even keener In terest In you." "That's wishful thinking, and nothing else." "In other words, rm Just plain stupid." snapped Lorls. Dont fly oil the handle so. "Oh. forget it. Carey. Let's go over the ong one more. Lorls went back to th piano. "We owe Max Rossner tomttMno. since he Is paying us seventy-five dollars a week." Carey took his place where he could turn the pages of the music "You beard her yourself when she called th Boulevard a cheap place." "What, back on that subject again." moaned Lorls. "doing to a Place like The Boule vard Is Ilk slumming for Iris ana her set." "Stop thinking about Iris and her set and go over this song with mJ" Carey and Lorls had to force their smiles at the roadhouse that night. As for Carey, he hardly made an effort. What did he care about the people who came to The Boulevard! What difference did It make what they thought about him? Somehow they got through the two performances and were mildly amazed to realise that the ap plause seemed as generous as usual But the long evening was a terrific strain. "My face fairly aches from try ing to smile." said Lorls as they finally drove home. . "Mine, too," said Carey. THAT was the extent of their conversation until they turned In the driveway to Pottersplace Then Lorls gave a sharp cry ot alarm. "Carey, the house Is all dark!' "So It Is," said Carey. Then, crestfallen, "I forgot to leave the lights on." "Well, that's the climax. You not only let the thoughts of that Wrenshaw woman ruin your sing ing, but you let them keep vou from attending to business here at home." "Dam tt an. Lorls, If you hadnt picked on me so much before we left. Td have remembered. I'm "So am V said Lorls. "But It Is a little too late for that, I'm afraid." 8he got out ot the car and started for the front door. "Walt a minute," called Carey TD go In with you and put up the ear later." "I'm not afraid." said Lorls, but her voice was unsteady. "After go ing through those song twice tonight In that crowded place, try ing to make myself smile. I can stand up to anything." "Just the same I'm going tn with you." Carey fumbled for his keys and unlocked the door. He stepped Into the hall, clicked on the light, then turned to Lorls: "Okay, come on tn. Nothing la going to lump out and bite you." Lorls walked In slowly and fol lowed Carey to the door of the liv ing room. "All seems quiet on the Potters, place front," Carey went on face tiously, "Turn on the tiring room lights. And dont talc so much!" Carey found the twitch and flooded the big room with light "Oood heavens " he cried, point ing near the fireplace. Lorts looked and gasped. Mr Roland Potter was sitting helplessly In a chair Re was bound hand and foot and there was a gag In his mouth.

Mnara United Press Staff Correspondent Edgewood Arsenal, Md., Jan. (11 PlF.mnlnvment of smoke in battle will be rendered In- (roasinelv useful bv new weaD- ons and projectiles being devel oped oy tne army ciicimuii warfare service. One of the effective new smoke weapons is the 4.2 mortar, which hurls 2.-nrtnnr1 ahpll contain ing either smoke gas, poison gas or nign explosives. Battalions of those weapons, Mimnrlilntf SA mnrliH H U VP been organized. Such a battalion im mnaka r.1 huflinif ffllA tnnc of gas against an enemy posi tion in two minutes, a murmr can fire 20 rounds a minute. Simple Weapon The shell is dropped into the top of the barrel and the pro pulsion charge explodes when it hits the bottom. Moreover, the explosion expands a ring of brass which grips the riflings of the mortar, giving the weapon exceptional accuracy. Two jeeps are sufficient ,to transport a mortar, ammunition and gun crew. Col. Eugene Gempel, director of training at Edgewood, dem onstrated how the shells would burst on water. Clouds of steam like smoke spread out over a wide area, suggesting the prac tical use of such weapons in am phibious landings such as Allied forces will likely employ repeat edly before the Axis is beaten. One type of shell contains or dinary phosphorus, which has an incendiary effect when it bursts. capable of inflicting serious cas ualties on the enemy, and in ad dition provides a highly effec tive smoke cover. Four mortars employing such shells could blanket 800 yards ot enemy front. Under such cover attacking troops could sweep on a blinded enemy effec tively, buch a smoke could be maintained by firing a shell ev ery fifteen seconds. Develop InccndlarUs Smokes may also be dropped in bombs from airplanes and sprayed from low moving planes to blind the enemy or cover friendly operations. Parallel with the employment of smokes, the chemical warfare service has developed a whole range of incediarles, including magnesium, thermite oil and phosphorus bombs. Importance of the Incendiary Is revealed by the fact that the average British bomb load car ried over Europe has been 65 per cent Incendiary. Employment of smokes de fensively is likewise being de veloped. A new and highly ef fective device for making smoke mechanically has been manufac tured for hiding defenses, strate gic industries and communica tions. A few such machines oper ating to windward could blan ket a whole city with fog in a few minutes. i HAP HOPPER.
