Apparently more or less out of ideas {or new means of raising revenue, the legis- | lature frequently has discussed some form »{ tax or license to be imposed on salt water | anglers. In any form, the idea still is a | bad one. deafening, both locally and from tourists— the salt water levy would be next to im- possible to collect. It would mean that every figherman on a bridge, boat or on the beach would be a_ potential law-breaker and someone would have to check each of them. Ii would require thousands of inspec- tors to carry out such a check. Every lit- | tle fishing camp would have to be watched, or if some means were worked out of letting | the camps handle the licenses, collections | would have to be made from them and the | camps checked. - From the standpoint of the tourist who now is able to stop and fish wherever he thinks there may be a bite, the law would be a constant nuisance. In addition to the fact that the tax would be anothef drain on -his*pocketbook, the fisherman, would find it necessary to go to the “extra trouble of | hunting up a place where he could get the licelige before starting out. The fresh water angler, it is true, has j are not so numerous and must constantly be protected and re-stocked. Secondly, the average freshwater fishing expedition means a boat trip to a stream or lake where the angler must make a good deal of prep- aration and expects to include a license in his expenses. A tax on salt water fishing would be a new idea, but not many people would consider it a good one. MATCHING THE DICTATORS There may be those who fall for the kick, Mussolini, but the dictators have met more than their matches in democracy’s present leaders, Churchill and Roosevelt. Great Britain and the United States are fortunate in their executive officials who have demonstrated remarkable ability in leading free peoples to face facts cour- ageously. to be found in the confidence reposed in | them by the vast majority of their fellow- Because of the unbounded , | support of their peoples these -two demo- countrymen. cratic leaders bid fair to stem the tide of barbarism that menaces the civilized | world. War correspondents have testified to the effect of Mr. Churchill’s brave words, when heard by British soldiers and sailors at grips with their empire’s foes. Despite ing men feel that the' ye a leader, at lastyyworthy of the g ‘predecessors who créated’and enlarged their commonwealth of nations. re The power of the elear-cut declara- tions of President Roosevelt, now backed by the mandate of Congress, denouncing the aggressors and their attempt to plunder this great industrial nation to uphold the cause of freedom, will become more potent as the effect of American policy is seen on the battlefields. WHAT STALIN SAYS IT MEANS What does Soviet Russia mean when she pledges “comprehensive and com- plete” neutrality to Turkey in the event that the Turks are called upon to defend their country against aggression? Possibly, the phrase covers real neu- trality, which would mean that Russia would give to Turkey every benefit that she extends to Germany, in the event of war- fare betweer the two nations. However, there is left for future determination the question whether the Turks are defending themselves from aggression. Stalin can make his own decision upon this matter and thus decide if the assurance means any- thing or not. The announcement represents another international agreement that means what the dominant nation wants it to mean. No- body knows what Stalin would have it mean, and thus nobody knows what it {actually amounts to. | Aside from the public clamor which | J PrestebSpexeiusivelyeentitied to use |... it " ‘ i ot dil ned dispatches creaitea to | WOuld greet such a tax—and it would be, to pay a license for his sport, but the two | | classes of fishing are considerably differ- | ent.

Lovely is jealous of her, and yet Emily is so careful there never is anything reai to be jeal- ous of. And now Lovely has burst out to Roger, not knowing that Emity-is im the ‘room, and has been overheard. AOA Chapter 26 New Quarrel Roc and Emily stood trans- | fixed as Lovely ran from the room. “I never thought this could happen.” Emily was the first to speak, “I shouldn’t have kept coming here. I—I had no idea—” “Don’t Emily. It isn’t. your fault. Perhaps its Lovely’s. Prob- ably its mine. But certainly it isn’t yours. “I—I—but it seems I—” once more she didn’t finish but stood helplessly looking down at beau- tiful Getta, so like her mother. Emily seemed more frail than ever then, with a certain puzzling incompleteness about her; exact- ly like her little broken phrases and unfinished sentences. Impelled by something he didn’t understand or pause to think about Roger moved toward hey, gathered her in his arms and dpeged her. f And Emily was saying softly against his shoulder: “Don’t mind, Roger. Don’t mind. There always have to be sacrifices, I suppose.” Lovely went home. She didn’t stay for the pleasant Sunday night supper that was a feature of life at the big Cosgrave house. There were always guests, inter- esting conversation and com- panionship. Emily was taking a_ nine twenty-six train from Harmon back to New York. “Tl run you down,” Roger of- fered. “But do you think you should?” Emily objected in her lovely soft voice, “After this afternoon—” “Of course I should.” “You'll be back, Roger?” Mar- cia asked as she ‘turned from kissing Emily goodbye. “No, dear, I think Pll push right on home.” He smiled into his mother’s anxious eyes and then turned to Getta. She was'too small to sit in the car beside him after Emily got out at the station. “Leave Getta here, Roger,”. his mother seemed to read his thoughts and to be eager at the same time. She loved and was proud of her beavtiful grand- daughter. Roger went home to a dark house. He let himself in and knew instinctively Lovely wag*in | bed. There was a subtle scent of her about the house, like a flower garden slightly muted. He didn’t turn on the light in the bedrgom but undressed in the bathroom with the door closed so Lovely wouldn’t be wakened. ‘ The shades had not been drawn in the bedroom or the windows opened. That was like Lovely, Roger reflected. He paused for a moment to stare at the mon etching the almost bare trees against the night in exquisite beauty. Sack 5 He tried to close his mind to his quarrel with Lovely. There had been something especially un- pleasant about it. There had been a time when their quarrels, like lovers’ quarrels, had drawn them more closely together than ever. But this had been different, ugly, a family quarrel and had brought with it the peculiarly cruel, clear judgment of family disagreement. le didn’t want to see where Lovely had been wrong. But he was forced to. “Where's Getta?” was the first question Lovely asked when they met at breakfast. She found it hard to keep the smile from her eyes as she looked at him. Lovely never held to her quarrels. “At mother’s. You left}her, you -” Roger was grinning faint- .-He knew she had had: her punishment. ‘ou should Have brought ‘her. Roger.” “There are a great many things that should be done. One is to make some sort. of apology to Emily. She’s suffered enough through us, and I know she won't want to come back if something isn’t done to right what happened yesterday. We shouldn’t be the means of robbing her of a friend- ly week end haven.” “Who is? That’s your mother’s house. I don't live there any/ more!” “No, but Emily knows she'll meet us there.” “Well, so what?” “That isn’t any answer, Lovely. | If you'd only get over this cheap | gutter talk.” | Lovely smouldered. | “Gutter talk! Well, that’s what) I am. Gutter stuff! And if you} don’t like it you should have; thought of, that before. You can’t change me! I'm what I am and Fl} stay that way! I don’t want to be; anyAtidr way.

Stop talking like that. And I don’t want you to be like ” her.” | “Lucky you don't!” | “And you couldn't be! You never could be.” A sudden note of bitterness in his voice. { Today's student, w ‘scientific indic a leaning toward There is a “T suppose yeure trying to tell me I’m not a lady!” “I don’t have ‘o tell you what you are!

She’s so good she makes me ache to the spine with boredom!” The Sun Again Cc was Roger then. who got up and left the table. Quick angry words came to his lips but he stayed them. He didn’t want the memory of cheap bitter quarrels with Lovely. After all he loved her. He still loved her devotedly. | And she was the mother of his beautiful little daughter. He drove down the hill to his father’s place. They were ready- ing ‘the green houses for winter and Roger was overseeing the work. But first he went to the house and to his mother’s sitting room. She was playing with Get- ta. The young father stood held to the spot by the cheer charm of the scene before him. Roger was working that after- noon with the extra men when Lovely’s car swooped into the drive and stopped near the green- house. Lovely, dressed for a party, walked toward him, her face lighted with the smile he knew so well.

She’s been robbed of everything but the little friendship we can give her.” “Maybe that’s it. Everything’s been taken from her and yet she goes on—still Emily. Just as sweet and lovely as she 2>ver was. Noth- ing—none of the bad things seem to really touch her at all. She’s got something, like an armor. Maybe its her *ackground.
