Gert had always been a human marvel to her. A tender wonder. Suddenly she assumed heroic pro- portions, But she couldn't let Gert go on that way any more. Much of Gert’s and Ring’s trouble had been over her, her extra mouth to feed, her extra body to clothe. That would stop tonight. Lovely turned and moved noise- lessly down the stair. Out in the night air, still jan- gling with only partially muted street noises even at that hour, she moved swiftly toward Fifth Avenue. She must get as far as possible from the atmosphere of that walk-up flat. Her steps slowed as they turned north on the avenue.

No one ever came and asked for those two solemn little girls, Gertrude and Lovely, It had been unendurable at the home after Gert ieft. Not that anyone was unkind. It was just the loneliness. But even then | Lovely had shaped a sort of shin- ing armor of her pride, and worn it continually so no one ever knew what was really in her frightened little girl heart. She thought it was the gladdest day of her life when Gert came for her, with credentials showing she was able to care for her sis- ter. Gert was marrying a man with a job, a plumber’s young helper. And he had said, after looking at her picture, that Love- |ly might live with them. Ring, Again T HAD worked out for a while. Ring had pinched her cheek and gone from that to other fa- jmiliarities, Lovely was young and |puzzled and not quite happy.

As far as the children are con- ;cerned, the circus has come to town. Rightly enough, it’s a three-ring circus, too, with the first one scheduled for 8:30 o'clock. Bill Ludwig, the groaning bad man from Syracuse, tangles with Ginger in the featured attrac- tion. A trainer will be at the ringside with a spiked pole to make sure the giant bear confines her attentions to Ludwig. According to her publicity man, Ginger really can wrestle. She uses arm locks and_ body — slams |* like an experienced grappler and usually polishes off her play- mates with a bear hug The bear will be handicapped by a muzzle and will wear mit-! | tens over her paws. Flash Gordon and Rex Mobley will tangle in the semi-final bout in a two-out-of-three one hour time limit battle. Gordon was disqualified in the featured mat bout last week, while Mob- ley won his event in the opener. John Swenski, billed as the jlight-heavyweight champion ‘of the world, tackles Roy Welch in ithe opener, another hour-time limit bout. Swenski appeared here against Ludwig in the first program.

U.S. Army’s domination in the bowling series with the U.S. Navy came to an abrupt end in the fourth meeting of the clubs. | Easily dispensing with the Sail- ~ ors in the first three matches Soldiers wound up on the short end of a 1731-1604 score Monday night. The series began February 17, Army toppling Navy, 2175-2033. Then came the Doughboys’ 2082- 1995 victory February 20 and their third straight triumph, 1991-1927, February 24. Explaining the Army domina- tion the first three games, a mem- ber of the Navy team said: “Naval station has been sHditapped by not having a bowling alley for daily practice while, on the oth- er hand, the Army post at pres ent has the only regulation alley in the city. Soldiers previous victories showed they made good use’ of it. However, as a result of the last match, it appears the Navy men are hitting their stride and it now looks like the Army will have to ‘go some’ to hold its w laurels” In the course of recreation im- provements at the station, it expected a bowling alley will constructed for use by officer and enlisted men. “Then Army will have some real com Petition”, the Sailor bowler pré dicted. performance. in the ring.

Necessary switch- boards and other equipment and more than 66,000 miles of telephone wire in cakles have already been installed. Addi- tional equipment will be pro- vided as required. Nearly $40,000,000 will be spent this year by Southern Bell for new construction and general expansion to meet the South's increasing telephone needs. New central offices, buildings and local and long distance lines are being put into service, and the net gain in new telephones is expected to reach 115,000 this year. Aware of the telephone’s vi- tal part in national defense, thousands of telephone men and women are devoting their efforts to supplying the increas- ing communication needs of government and industry. ~ * i be more than Press We equipped inery and supplies to give economically, capably and
