PAGE FOUR FOUR BLIND DATES YESTERDAY: Tacks black- mails Packy into accepting his bid to the Long Island party, by threatening not to call off the ferocious wolfhound, Lily. Chapter 21 Dietetic Dilemma A; THIS point the cab stopped for a traffic light. During the interval Tacks became possessed of a thought. Right then the atti- tude of the ravishing Miss North was frozen in the extreme. But there was no telling how soon she might thaw. And if the thawing apes should take place before reached her apartment house, who knew but what she would ask Mr. Adams in for a cup of tea or a drink? It was extremely unlikely, of course, But Tacks wished to be peeperse. And he perceived that, e event of such a splendid oc- currence, the dog Lily could hard- ¥ be regarded as an asset. In fact, Lily continued to keep up with the party, Tacks reasoned that his ehances of being invited aloft for ment were ‘practically nil. Wherefore he decided to ditch ie waited until the cab neared the apartment house in which his Aunt Vera had her abode. Then he addressed the driver. “Hey!” he called suddenly. “Stop here a minute.” Packy glanced up. pant now?” she demanded ly. “Nothing to get steamed up @bout. The doorman in that house is a friend of mine. I’m going to Teave this dog with him, that’s all.” Packy looked at him suspicious- jy for a second. Then she opened her mouth, but shut it again with- out speaking. Tacks got out, hauled from the prominence of the front seat and piloted her across the street. Before Mrs. Sackville’s apart- Tent house stood a dignitary in a blue uniform. Tacks hailed him. “Listen, Fritz,” he said, “will you take this mutt Bp to my aunt’s partment? I’m in a hurry. I've got @ girl in a taxi across the street and +». hey, what on earth is the matter you?” For the doorman appeared not tobe listening. The doorman was gazing Streetward, past the shoul- Mr, Adams. The doorman spoke. “Td be glad to take this dog up to your aunt's apartment, Mr. Adams,” he said. “Only it won’t be mécessary. * Tacks stared at him. “What the o> Say, are you crazy?” The doorman extended a stern finger. Tacks wheeled and fol- lowed it. The taxicab, with Packy inside, ‘was tearing down Fifth Avenue in @ manner to indicate that all the fiends of the Pit were breathing at its rear bumper. And from the conveyance there waved neither handkerchief nor lily-white hand. In fact, there waved nothing at all. The jaw of Mr. Adams dropped. at,” he exclaimed, in dis- may, “do you know about that?” “And that,” concluded the door- man, in the tone of one who has set out to make a point and intends to make it, “is what I meant when I said that it wouldn't be necessary for me to take this dog up to your aunt's apartment.” The Curse Of Flesh pao CUTLER was hurrying the street. As a general rule, -Mr, Cutler made it a prac- tice never to hurry. In the books of. the. gods it was written that Jumbo Cutler was a born saunter- er. Equipped with this divine gift at the outset Jumbo, in early youth, had improved his status by mastering the art of loitering. But are never: satisfied. By and by rigid application he schooled himself to loaf, trifle and dillydally as well. In the course of time he had also become no mean dawdler. And by early a he exhibited such pro- in these allied fields that his normal gait ws one that would have provoked titters from a snail. Wherefore the sight of Mr. Cut. ler marching tak pet along the by- ways of New York was a note- worthy phenomenon. But it was not one that need have baffled scientists, Jumbo walked swiftly because (a) he wished to reduce and oo the street — he had chosen for pe peregrina- tion seemed | to be lined with noth- ing except restaurants, hash houses and other emporiums spe- cializing in the dispensation of t Geraldine will now want to know what food had to do with it.

The red light tion and eat oieoreet in hk ig cerned with n ora d that pric! his mind with red-hot needles was the fact that today was Friday and tomorrow the game of North, South, East and West would end. He could foresee exactly what was going to n. On the mor- row he and Lu would Pa reer to a certain drugstore i there, on the scales, would end his rose- ate dreams of a wife and fireside. Luella, he knew, was a girl of character, She had set him a task and he had failed. That settled it, Luella would never condone fail- ure, Already he could hear her saying: “I’m sorry, Cutler. But you miss by five pounds, It’s no art of my plan to ries! od fe with something that-looks like a grampus out of condition. It’s all over, Cutler, We’re washed up.” Yes, washed up. And all because, doomed to embonpoint by. some heathenish deity, he carried the curse of flesh. So he would go on, he supposed, miserably, wretched- ly, growing ever broader and more bloated. And gradually he would become a pathetic, tragic figure or, mayhap, an object of derision, al- luded to by all as the man who couldn’t make the weight. While reviewing his doom, Jum- 0 became conscious of a delecta- ble aroma. He glanced up and perceived that he was ing a one-arm joint from whose interior this enchanting odor issued. He bounded forward. This must not be. This was temptation of a ter- rible kind. But the bound did little good, He was walking in a perfect maze of eating houses. The next thing he knew he stood face to face with a gentleman who was flipping pancakes in a restaurant window. _This time Jumbo’s courage failed him. He could not resist having a look at the pancakes. He edged close to the window and eyed them as the ravening pike eyes the min- now. A slightly insane expression came to rest upon his face. He pressed his nose against the glass and suffered. Within, the pancake pa al conscious of an audience, performed miracles of jugglery bak cakes, LC) agony? Assuredly to be mad with hunger was hideous enough with- out having the entire-city of New York ganging him with food. And the end was not yet. There seemed no limit to it. He had not pro- ceeded twenty feet before he came upon a cat who was concerned with a fish head in the gutter, Fishy Cx to a dead stop Jumbo stared -at the animal, speech- less. This was the final irony, When it transpired that the beasts of the gutter might dine regally on fish heads while the scion of one of New York's better families went ie ire a fue. stomach, ings had got to a pretty pass. Sumbo bestowed pi on lee of mingled envy and disapproval upon the cat that the feline snatched up the fish head hastily and departed. Jumbo breathed easier. He was ‘lad that fish head had gone. The ih head had tormented and mad- dened him. But, with terrible clar- ity, he recognized that he was not out of the woods yet. He had dis- rsed the fish head magnificently, ut he was anatomist enough to realize that he could not disperse his own stomach. And if something were not introduced to that stom- ach in short order, he would: go stark staring mad. Thinking care- fully, Jumbo made up his mind. Food, of course, was out of the question. But he remembered that Luella West, in her discourses on dietetics, had ascribed certain sus- taining properties to alcohol. Very well. He would test this theory. A combination bar and lunch- room loomed in the offing. Jumbo's eyes dilated. And then he acted. Emitting a wo sound he charged the door. The door gave. The place was deserted save for a lugubrious individual with a de- essed. mustache who stood be- ind the bar polishing glasses. “Scotch!” said Jumbo peremp- ne marching up to the bar, “Soda!” The bartender looked at him with sad, watery eyes, At the same moment Jumbo noted a bowl of cheese pegs which reclined on the bar, He shied as a mustang shies at sight of the prairie rattler. “What's the matter?” inquired the bartender, starting. He was a sensitive soul, given to nerves. “N-nothing,” said Jumbo, “Hur- ry up with that drink!” The bartender set the drink be- fore him. Jumbo quaffed it at a gulp. Then, made affable by the burning sensation in his throat, he took cognizance of the bartender in a social way. he said conversa- onauy. The bartender looked as if he at heart, Jumbo turned | away. Was any woman worth such | BRUSSELS, Belgium, Aug. 8. —A quarter of a century after the German invasion of Belgium—in August, 1914—Belgians are wor- rying aplenty about the danger of a new war. But they don’t be- lieve history will repeat. They think, in any event, that if.a new European war should ‘come, Belgium would not suffer the first blow as she did in 1914. There would be a good chance for their country to stay out alto- gether, Belgians say, except for tone thing—the air. | The eastern frontier, with Ger- |many, is better fortified than it was 25 years ago. The fortifica- tions cover a longer stretch. Be- hind them is a stronger army, al- ways on guard. And besides, Belgians say; the whole military situation has changed since 1914. In the event of a new war between Germany and France, for instance, some military experts believe neither would try immediately to break through the strong land fortifica- | tions of the other. The first deadly assaults, they say, would be from the air. And that’s why Belgium worries so much. It’s that frontier—a rela- tively new one—which many Bel- gians fear would be violated first. It’s the one Belgium is least pre- pared to defend and the most dif- | ficult one to defend. On the Main Line The shortest route, as a crow flies, between Berlin and Paris is across Belgium. Between Berlin jand London, it’s across Holland. | Bat between London and Munich jor some other southern German cities, again it’s across Belgium. Belgium could be avoided, as well as Holland, by British, |French or German planes. carry- ing out attacks on the enemy. | But in warfare especially it. would j be easy for pilots to get off their | courses. Under the new foreign policy of complete independence, Belgium is committed to defend her own frontiers. This is as true of the air as of the land. If French, British or German |planes flew across—intentionally | BELGIUM, INNOCENT BYSTANDER — "IN 14, NOW FEARS VIOLATION OF AIR FRONTIER DURING WAR (By Associated Press) THE KEY WEST CITIZEN or unintentionally—once or twice —the enemy country might mere- ly lodge protests with Belgium and demand that she protect her frontier. If it happened several times, however, the other coun- try might resort to the same course. So the battlefield might be over Belgium—and might eventually draw Belgium into the war. The Belgian ‘Sudetens’ Another big worry in Belgium just now is her “Sudetenland”. This is the frontier territory which Belgium acquired from Germany after the war—the can- tons of Eupen, Malmedy and St.! |Vith. Adolf Hitler hasn’t asked} jfor their return. Hitler has even put them in the same category with France’s Alsace-Lorraine as ‘territory to which he has no fur- ther claim.

In a meal, however,. that includes a chilled or jellied soup, it ts wise to have the following course a hot/one—for we all fishing 3 ij need a little hot food at every meal. Modern jellied soups are sim- plicity itself, for many canned soups actually jell in the can in the refrigerator. For instance, condensed consommé, condensed consommé Madriléne and con- densed consommé Printanier left in the refrigerator will jell in about four hours. When meal- time arrives you just open them and serve in cups with a wedgé of lemon on the side. .Then there are the chilled liquid soups.
