Rockefeller, Jr. recited ten “fundamental and eternal” principles which he said had governed his father’s clife. They cah and should be followed by _cevery man to his profit. The first principle "owas: “I believe in the supreme worth of ~ the individual and in his right to life, liberty y.and the pursuit of happiness.” All three fare, in great jed, lay; and unless we ar eternally ill pay for our i ‘geomplacancy. The Japanese pride themselves on be- ..ing the most patriotic people in the world and are almost idolatrous concerning their emperor. In their war on China they have “made sacrifices no other people would >make, depriving themselves of the very =necessities of life, Facing more starvation “and suffering they are beginning to won- =der about the glories of war, Some Jap- =-gnese economists estimate that about 70 per ~eent of the population have incomes be- ~ tween one and two thousand yen a year, or roughly from $240 to $480 a year. Some ~married couples earn as little as 40 yen, or = $9.60 a month. = House Committee on Ways and Means has p thought out another squeeze play. Amer- pricanmarried couples of which the wife has «an income of her own must file with her “husband a joint return. The increased ‘yield to.the Government is estimated at “three hundred and twenty-three millions in > excess of what would be collected on 1941 incomes of married persons without this pro- vision. A; revolt is predicted among the "women and if the pressure is heavy enough, *_Corigress may not sustain the item. Once » again, virtue is its own reward, for,a com- mon law wife who has a separate income “will pay less than a married woman simi- | would-be the same as cash, singe almost MUNICIPAL BOND BUYERS a Both as a patriotic gesture and as a sensible way of investing their money, city commissioners at Clearwater, Pinellas county seat, had an inspired thought this | week in voting to invest $58,000 from the surplus bond interest fund in national de- fense bonds. ~ Conmuissioners, if making the’ pur- Nikdthble if it is needed, and ordinarily anyone would be willing to accept the bonds at face value. In addition, the $12,- 000 will be increased to $18,000 if the! H bonds are held for 12 years. Local government officials, as well as treasurers of businesses, clubs and lodges, could make a real contribution to the bond- sales campaign if they would study their books and see if some excess cash might not be invested in that way. With prices moving up in spite of im- pending legislation, and with supplies of goods for civilian use rapidly going down, | the American people must help themselves | by doing a little hoarding if they are going to prevent a run away in prices now, and.a resounding thump later. So far as can be:determined, the gov- ernment’s plan to borrow money from the entire population through bond sales is the best system possible to cushion the public against the shock of a post-war economy in later months, ~ | The lead of the Clearwater commis- sioners, if followed everywhere, would be a \ valuable boost for the bond program. THE “V” CAMPAIGN What appears to be an important prop- aganda effort, designed to inspire the con- quered peoples of Europe with hopes of liberation, is the campaign, originated in | England, using the letter Vi as a symbol of victory over Germany. \ While a symbol or slogan can not in itself win battles, it gives the oppressed vic- | tims of Hitler’s brutality a sort of common rallying point for the expression of their} determination to eventually overthrow their oppressor. Prime Minister Churchill | thought the idea of sufficient importance to advocate its employment through a radio address. The letter V is being painted or chalked on buildings, vehicles, sidewalks and in | every conceivable place where it may serve to encourage the foes of Hitler and discon- | cert the Germans. In the conquered coun- | tries it is marked on various objects secretly | at night. Whenever possible it is placed on | vehicles and buildings in possession of the | Germans. It is also transmitted by sound, using the three dots and dash of the Morse | code letter V, by radio, steam whistles, horns and other means. It is reported that all this has proved very annoying to the Germans, and Prop- aganda Minister Goebbels has been trying to make his own people believe that the V | means German yictory. It happens, how- | ever, that the standard German word for victory is ‘“‘sieg,” to which the letter V could not apply. ‘ AIRCRAFT ERA DEVELOPING Progressive thitikers in Key West have visualized for years the day when Aircraft will be as numerous in the sky as auto- mobiles are on the highways. We are now on the yerge of the air- plane era, The airplane is pushing the | automobile for first place in de luxe trans- portation. The contest is stmilar to the locomotive-auto race of a few decades ago. | | While the airplane era has been gain- | ing momentum rather slowly, the process | will be speeded by the defense program, | and especially the mass production plan of | the Civil Aeronautics Administration for | athe traiming of pilots. | During the year ending on the first of | July, last,'the number of certified pilots in the United States increased by 100 per cent, with the total number of civilian pilots now | | exceeding 82,000. x | On July Ist there were 22,025 certi- | fied airplanes in the United States, ex- | | elusive of military and naval aircraft. This is an increase of 58 per cent in the | year. : The increase of airplanes is largely due to the pilot-training program of the | CA\A. A number of planes haye heen pur- | chased for use in training and the new | | pilots have often purchased planes for their | ‘own use after learning how to fly. \ pa | havin; | Luella,” said Tommy.

She tasted the drink. “I like it, What is it called?” “A sidecar,” Tommy replied. Luella laughed. “Sounds like a motorcycle, or something,” she said. “But not possessed of quite as much of a kick,” said Tommy. And then: “How're things with that husband of yours?” he asked. “Going places rapidly, I suppose.” “Yes,” said Luella, “going places. That is if working at it means anything.” “Well, it usually does, so they say.” , ea working at the office and working on those negro verses,” said Luella, “I get very little of Henry's time.” She laughed. “Not that I'm complain- ing. I took the bitter with the better!” , Tommy chuckled. “Another of- fice widow, I take it,” he said. “Probably, or just what ir an office widow, Tommy?” “There are lots of them—wo- men whose husbands are more married to work than to them, There are office widows -- golf widows—poker widows.” “IT see,” said Luella thought- fully. “But how are things going with you, Tommy?” “Moving.” 4Tll bet you’re going places | also!” “T think IT am, Luella,” said ‘ommy. “Anyway, I'm booked ‘or a promotion shortly. If it goes through, I may go down to Flor- ida for awhile. I've vot a small cottage down there—one an uncle left me. I’ve been hoping to make some use of it.” He drained his glass, and a serious expression came into his uice eyes. “I'd hoped to take Marie along with you know, honeymooning the Florida coast.” me “a | . “That- would be Ipvely!” said Luella. “Can Marie get away?” “Evidently not.” “Oh, I’m sorry.” “My trouble,” said Tommy, “seems to be chiefly with my per- sonal life. In a business way, I move—in a sentimental way I stand still.” “You mean—with Marie?” “Exactly.” “I think it’s a darn sham Luella said with feeling. “Ma ought to love marrying you, and a honeymoon down your little cottage.” “Marie, alas, feels otherwise,” sai@é Tommy. “Being in love with @ career woman isn’t easy, Lu- ella.” Luella was silent for a moment, “Do you know what I think?” she asked suddenly. Tommy shook his head. “I’ve long since given up trying to read folks’ minds,” he said. “Well, what I think is this,” Luella explained. “I think that all women have a streak of ro- mance and sentiment in them, and that under certain circum- stances that streak will predom- inate.” “I hope you're Tommy. more.” “And I also think that Marie’s no exception.” said Luella. “She’s @ smatilown girl, just as 1 am, right,” said “But, go on—tell me and most small town girls always |. carry with them a lot of senti- mental and romantic leanings Don’t think I'm trying to be a Lucy Lonelyhearts or a ‘Beatrice Fairfax, but | am going to give you some advice, Tommy,” “That's darned swell of . you, Go “on from there. I'm all ears” “It's about Marie.” “Yes? So I gathered.” Advice To Tommy “VWBEN we are taking that cruise with Mr, Rector,” said Luella, “you must manage to get Marie alone on the moonlight deck. Find the most romantic spot possible, and propose to her in the Sood old-fashioned way.” “You mean down on my knees —imploringly?” “That's it. Tommy.” “But suppose there’s no moon?” “We'll not go on the cruise un- less there is one.” Tommy laughed. “Maybe it'll work at that!” he said. “Who knows?” ““It’s worth trying, isn’t it?” “You bet it is. After I get down on my knees and propose, Luella —what next?” “Good heavens, Tonimy, use your imagination!” 5 Tommy didnot: atgue the point. And at a little; before eleven o'clock he was bringing his road- ster to a standstill im, frdnt ofthe house in which the Pells lived! “Tt’s been a marvelous after- noon and evening, Tommy, “Lu- ella said, holding out her hand. “I’m ever so grateful to you.” “Ym the one to be grateful,” said Tommy. “Not going to let me come in?” “No, Tommy,” Luella replied. “It’s late, and Henry’s- probably working his head off.

If so, she didn’t want to awaken him. tip-toed across the living-room, and switched on a light. One thin; was certain, she discovered wit relief, Henry hadn’t been sitting up working on the verses. His desk was just as she had left it that morning after dusting and cleaning. She moved to the bed- room door, opened it softly, and peered in. The bedroom was also smply, Puzzled, Luella crossed the threshold, and switched on an- other light, The bed was also just as she had left it that morning after dusting and cleaning. And then she saw the piece of paper. It was spreac¢ out upon her piJlow— and upon it were some hurriedly written words in Henry’s unfor- gettable handwriting. Luella caught up the paper, and moved. closer to the light. TA case you get home before I do, honey, this is to say that I’m working over at Marie’s place. She wanted me to try over some of the musical settings her com- poser friend has completed. We'll probably work together for an hour or so. Hope you had a swell time with Tommy. So that was it, Luella thought angrily, So that was why Henry had been so willing for her to go out with Tommy McIntyre. It gave him an opportunity to spend the evening with Marie Mason. She crumpled the piece of pa- per in her fist, and dropped down upon the side of the bed. She was sitting there when she heard Henry’s key in the lock. She leaped up, threw off her hat and coat, and was unzippering her sport frock when Henry came in, “Hello,” she said brightly. “Hello, darling!” said fees He came over, leaned down and kissed her cheek. “I thought you’d be asleep.” “Asleep, and my husband out with a glamour girl!” said Luella, trying to sound very modern ani gay and flippant. “Goodness, man, could I sleep under suc circum- stances?” Henry looked at her. He won- dered if he would ever get to un- derstand women in the least. He couldn't tell to save him whether Luella was serious or kidding. “T had to go some place,” he said, “or go crazy sitting here waiting for you to come home.” “Really?” said Luella, widening her ey#s“You. mean you didn’t plan to go over—all along?” “Gosh, no, honey!

It was well into June before ‘the weather cleared and the boat was |fitially ddocked at the foot’ of |Seventy-ninth Street. Then as | soon 48 be was certain everything was ship-shape, Mr. Rector tele- phon the Pells, Ma and Tom icIntyre. “At last we can have that week- end trip,” he told them. “Next Saturdayr I'll be looking for you at the yacht basin.” And now Henry and Luella Pell were making their preparations. No one was more delighted over the coming cruise than was | Henry. He was rather like a boy scout about to start forth on a trek, Luella thought. And she wished with all her heart that husband. But she couldn't. “What bothers me,” she said, “is what to take for such a trip. You know it is my first yachting expe- rience, and I never felt so igno- rant about anything before, “Take along what I'm taking,” said Henry. “Sport things.” “Tl take along that linen dress iF always liked so much,” she Said... + “Ye gods, Luella, that’s over a year old!” Henry exclaimed. “That @desn’t make’ any differ- 9 wears the skirt Ya" little, and’-cut off the long sleeves.
