B—6 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., AUTO FATALITIES |LOVELY LITTLE FOOL - LESS THAN 30 Triple Holiday Death Toll Curbed by Rain and Cau- tion Publicity. By the Associated Press. Fewer than 300 automobile fatalities were recorded today in the United States during the triple Labor day week end holiday. The National Safety Council had predicted the death toll would mount to between 350 and 400 and described the weck end as “death’s favorite holi- day.” Rain in many sections was one fac- r;r which tended to reduce the num- er of deaths, as drivers proceeded more cautiously than usual. The weather also helped to reduce the number of cars on the road, relieving eongestion on many usually crowded roads. Another factor, safety experts said, was the widespread publicity urging motorists to use greater care in a campaign for safe driving. Figures early today placed the death list at 283, No definite check could be made of the injured, but estimates placed the seriously hurt at more than | 200. . Deaths from drownings and other fatal accidents, not included in the automobile figures, also tended to swell the grand total. Eight States and the District of Co- jumbia had clean records. Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Missis- sippi, Nebraska, North and South Da- Kkota reported no automobile fatalities. California headed the list of States with the greatest number of deaths— 33. New York was second with 24 and Yllinois next with 17. Three were killed in a plane crash {n California Sunday night, and an- bther man died there in a burning Summer cabin. One man was Killed by a train in Illinois, and a Kentucky man died in a roller coaster accident. THIRD LOVE FAILS, MODEL ENDS LIFE tive. | Detective Capt.

By the Associated Press. . FULTON, Mo, September :L—The‘ goils of a permanent wave machine nd the cfeam-colored fingers of a| auty parlor operator are helping eure mental cases among women in | Missouri. “There is nothing quite like a per- Mmanent wave or a facial or an eye- brow dressing to lift any woman out | of the blues,” Dr. Ralf Hanks, super- intendent of State Hospital, No. 1, for the Insane, said here today. ° The success of a beauty parlor at| the hospital has convinced him that 8 barber shop would do as much for the men. One is being installed. ~“Our patients come to us in a state of utter hopelessness,” Dr. Hanks aaid. “They are dejected and sit with their chins sunk on their chests. They have no pride in their appearance. ‘They have become unkempt and un- tidy. Once they begin to take an in- terest and a bit of pride in their personal appearance, it often is pos- sible to use that as a starting point to gain their interest in other things and evenually to restore them.” MISSIONARTES WARNED VU. 8.

She B stammered against it. “Mar- shall may ... may not be waiting out there for me, you know, Maysie. I'm ... not the only person working in the Government.” Maysie's prying curiosity was wearing her pa- tience thin. She wondered: “What would she think if she knew about Marshall's wires from Florida, the letters from Havana, the telephone calls since the day he returned? What he really wants with me! It would be as juicy a bite for her to chew on as her gum!” Maysie laughed, taking a deep in- ward breath, and accidentally swal- lcwed the wad in her mouth. Her cyes bulged, and for a moment she looked as if she might strangle. After several choking gulps and frantic beatings on her flat breast she sprang cne of her hard-boiled little wise- cracks. “Tell that to the Unknown Soldier, Betsy! I know men! Mar- shall's waiting for you and you know | it! Why don't you seg him? Go out and say casually, ‘You'll have to wear a parking light if you hang around here after dark.’ I mean, after all, I read in the papers that his Aunt Emily Whatziz died and left him a lot of jack.

The heroine 1s going to wind up with her husband as sure as fate!” As Betsy typed she was conscious of a prescient fear. Nature rebels at a vacuum and loneliness was too often her one companion. Would clandestine meetings with Marshall + oo 8 long drive ., . . a stolen harmless hour for a movie be a greater pleasure than loneliness? She said to herself: “You've refused to think about Marshall. Face that angle—think it out now! Once and for all—clearly in your mind. What does he mean to you?” The thunder of the answer cracked her puzzling dark world wide open. She could never go near Marshall again, That old infatuation had _evaporated and it was strange to her that her heart had ever pounded at the touch of his hand, that her blood had ever raced at the sound of his voice. She didn’t hate him. She was neither love nor hate. But if she | @ver met him and he ran his fingers | lightly over her shoulder as he used | to, catch her up and kiss her with | his eyes, she knew that it would un- leash a wild fury within her.

She owed him no fidelity in this husbandless marriage. Even though their wedding had been carefully and formally an- nounced in all the papers the day after, it was generally known now that she and John were separated. Well, no harm in going out once in a while. And the changing scenery might dira certain poignant memories. ‘The next evening Lieut. Ames Nel- son telephoned. Betsy had met him at Jennie's party aboard the Star- bright and had promptly forgotten him. When he recalled himself to her and asked for a date, she said, seriously, “You know, Ames, that I am married?” " “Yes. But you're not working at it I understand.” he laughed, lightly into the telephone. “I didn't want to sail under false colors. I thought you should know. There's an element of risk in trot- ting around with a married woman who hasn't a divorce. I've been in the Government long enough to know what happens to naval officers who get involved, even innocently, in scandals!” Little flowers of excite- ment perfumed her words, “You're an honest small person, aren’t you? But I'm willing to chance it.” There was respect in his voice and vivid satisfaction. “Remember, I warned you!"” Ames suggested a country club for dinner and dancing. He belonged to four. She could take her choice. But, run into John Storm and Angelica at |a club. And I... I couldn't stand it. I'd die right there.” So she said, “No, Ames, let’s go to the Terrace. I haven't been there since it opened and I hear the food is excellent. And Varnee's music is divine!” She didn't give her real reason; that the country clubs were | the places for the young set; that the society columns were always sprinkled she told | | aching void of loneliness.

Once she had been afraid of what they would do to her and now she knew that her mother's intuition had not been wrong.

That is, if I can get by on four bucks” He got up, drove his hands deep in his pockets, and went to the phone.
