When inflation comes it will be easy to becoiie a millionaire. ol ~ - ar oo * : i looks as if a lot of Communist plot- ters in America’ may soon be among the un- employed, Ts a wise commentator who can pre- dict # new friendship pact or a new war front three days in advance. The colloquialism ‘Hurry up and take your time” sounds like a paradoxical request or command, but it really means to do what you have on hand to and do it without flustéging. The German equivalent is “Kile mit Weild’,/meaning té/imake haste with comp@sure. An excited pérson. cannot do, his wairk quickly, eek Phe credit-system is necessary for neceésities bt en you mortfage your future to buy railroad tickets on the install- ment plan to take a vacation you are risking too much. Now the airlines, like the rail- roads, are offering tickets on time pay- ments: It is tempting but should be avoid- ed. Save your money first. Then take your vacation. i When Napoleon was asked what were the tree most necessary things to win a war,2he replied, “Money, money, money.” By that he meant money will buy anything; it will, but it takes time to produce the goods and that is where the aggressor who planned the aggression, has the temporary advantage, but in the end the nation with the most money will eventually win the war, World War I cost the United States $22,000,000,000, but now not even in the war, the United States has spent or com- mitted itself to spend, $50,000,000,000. It would take a person of great mental | IT’S BUDGET TIME AGAIN ee a Officers of the state comptroller’s de- | partment who urged citizens to take an extra interest in tax matters this year be- cause of the change in control and in the system of valuation, also have urged the | taxpayers to take an intelligent interest in en- | dowments even to imagine such an incon- | ceivable sum of mohey. It’s like trying to calculate eternity. It borders on the incon- ceivability of the absence of matter. Yet the sfary is not finished—we are only in the | first Chapter, or rather in the prologue of the tYigedy, and we have no idea how it will ehid, Sea —— | their county budgets. And with increased taxes in sight all along the line, the taxpayers will be wise cept the advice of the comptroller. ‘Valuations throughou fe have n hoosted enormously r—in Key West about five-and-one-half —times— which means that to avoid a boost in their taxes, property owners of the-state must see to it that the millage rate takés a drop equal to the amount of the tax roll’s elimb. The taxpayer who does not make cer- tain of such a cut in his county will have no grounds for complaint, and no possi- bility of effecting a change, after the bud- get has been set up and approved. This year, as never before, the tax- payer does owe to himself an intelligent ernment. As$far as the local government is concerned, the way’ to find out is to go to the county commission sessions and lis- ten, or if ydu have suggestions, talk. Defense spetiding already has brought a huge jump in federal taxes, and other phases of defense cannot help making necessary Thereased spending by the states, egunties and cities, ; ‘ Admitting that such increases are In- evitable, it is up to the taxpayer from there to see that the tax inereases and the ex- | penditures are no greater than is absolutely | necessary. ‘This is a time of rapid changes, and the j taxpayer who follows the system of doing nothing until it is too late to do more than complain may find his complaints a scant consolaton. ABOUT ICELAND Few Americans had any interest in it became virtually an outpost of the United and airplane operations is very great in the present war, in spite of its high latitude. has an area of nearly 40,000 square mile: but only about 7,000 square miles are habit- able, and in 1989 the population was 118,- 888. Reykjavik, the capital, has a popula- tion of 37,366. The climate is quite variable, but not as cold as its latitude would indicate, the mean temperature of Reykjavik being 53 in summer and 29 in winter, with an annual mean of 39 degrees. This may be com- pared with an annual mean of.about 49 de- grees in Chicago. In 1939 the Germans sought permis- sion to establish bases for an air service be- tween Germany and Iceland, but at that time Prime Minister Jonasson said no for- eign company would be granted any air concession. He at first protested against the establishment of a military base in Ice- land by Britain, but later agreed, and it is estimated that about 60,000 British troops, with accompanying naval and air units, are on the island. ' At the suggéstion of Britain, Premier Jonasson recently invited the United States to replace a portion of the British, and upon this invitation President Roosevelt ordered American military forces to Iceland. It is agreed that there will be no interference with the island’s government, and that the Americans will be withdrawn at the end of the war. HEAT VERSUS PHILOSOPHY When the thermometer climbs above 90 degrees, one may be excused for ques- tioning whether the presence of water- the heat. The delights of the bathing beaches, including the exquisite visions that attract the male eye; do not necessitate such se- verity upon the part of King Sol. It may help some citizens to contem- plate the scientific fact that the Sun, at this earth than in the dead of Winter. Just imagine how much hotter it would be if the mammoth ball of fire was closer to us! Even the thought has a tendency to cool us off. A' tendency, however , is not quite sufficient.

But now Henry is playing while Marie Mason is singing, and Luella can see quite clearly that Henry's in- terest in Marie is visible to everybody else in the magnificent saloon of the yacht. And she does not like it, _<. , Chapter 12 | ‘Tommy Proposes “Y Bax Alma could ‘reply, Marie began singing. Every- one settled back to listen. Luella closed her éyes. She could see the cotton fields down home, and hear | the darkies singing. She could al- | most feel the burn ng sun, and the ‘ touch of white bursting pods. She was hoping that the others felt the same way about it, when the song came to an end. There was a round of applause, and Henry reached for another score, He and Marie went through all the songs. There were five of them, and they made Luella ter- ribly homesick, Again she wished that Henry | had kept his job down home, that they were down there now with their own sort, instead of up here | on a yacht with a lot of worldly | jple—and that Latham woman !

He laid his hand upon| | her arm, Marie excused herself to the others, and went out with him, |’ “What a glorious night!” she j} said when they were standing where the moonlight spilled over | | them. “What was it you wanted | to tell me, Tommy? You sounded | | i | urgent just now when you aske | me to come out with you.” “I wanted to tell you that I love you,” said Tommy. “That T | want you to marry me—now— right away.” . “Is that all?” said Marie. “Listen, darling,’ Tommy went | on, sinking down about to one | knee. “I love you, I want you for} | my wife.

Tommy wanted to know. | “What I mean, i ii—I’m so sort of all mixed up “How de you mean you—Henry—Luella— myself. But it’s about Henry most- ly.” Marie hesi , took a deep! breath, and said: “You see, Tom- | my, I—I—think ['m still in love! with him.” Tommy stared at her, the girl there beside him, the girl in crim- | son chiffon over which the moon- | | light was pouring a coat of purest) silver. | “You’re talking utter drivel,”| he said presently. “You know that} Henry is happily married to Lu- ella, and that you've no right to) butt in.” } . “I'm not so sure about Henry being happily married to Luella.” | said Marie. “Nor am | so sure I} | haven't the right to interfere.” | “Listen, Marie,” said Tommy | quietly, trying to keep the anger} | he felt out of his voice. “don’t get | the idea you are up against a mis- | understood husband, or anything | like that.

They walked over to a table about which the other guests were grouped. “To the success of our pro- gram!" said Mr. Everett. He nodded toward Henry. “Here’s hoping you'll think matters over, Pell, and come in with us if we can find a géod opening.” % “Thanks!” said Henry, beaming like a happy kid. “I think I'd like that.” Mrs. Everett smiled upon them all; “I think this is turning out to be one of the nicest parties I've ever attended,” she‘'said. “I want all of you to come out to our place one week-end soon,” “Why not stop off there tomor- row?” Mr. Everett suggested. “We've got a dock, as you know, Rector—and a good stretch of bathing beach.” “Fine!” said Rector. “Everyone agreeable “Of cours said Marie, Tom- my, and Almia in unison. “TJ think it's a great idea,” said Henry. He glanced at Luella. “You do too, don’t you, honey?” “Yes,” said Luella. “It ought to be fun.” Again she saw Alma Latham eyeing her, and felt uncom- fortable. The tall young woman was like a sort of female menace, stalking, stalking, looking as though she was just waiting for something dramatic to happen, | something even tragic, Home Again RY stopping off at the Everett place was not to be. A violent storm blew up early Sunday morning. It raged on and on until mid-afternoon. It was impossible to put in anywhere. “It looks,” said Mr. Rector, “as though we'll have to put back to New York.” Everyone expressed regret and disappointment — everyone but wuella.

Alma Latham suid a lot of things that had double-meanings, when she wasn’t hanging on to Malcolm Rector's arm and saying things to him under her breath, The party was a weshout, so far par li {as Luella was concerned, in spite of the fact that it had started out rather well It was late when they found themselves again in the yacht basin at Seventy-ninth Street. The jveretts’ car was parked where they had left it the day before, so they drove off in that. Malcolm Rector said he would remain on the yacht over night, and Alma said she would stay with him for the evening meal. Tommy sug- gested to Henry that he and Lu- ella join him and Marie for dinner some place nearby. “I think I'd prefer going home,” said Luella. “I feel a little shaky, —not yet gotten-my land legs.” Henry glanced’ at her. It was easy to see. that he was disap- pointed. Marie shrugged. “There's more work to do on | that cotton field song,” she said. | “So you’dbetter cone over to my | place tomorrow night. Henry, so we can get it in shave.” “Right!” said Henry. “The change from the minor is a bit too sudden. You might see what the composer can do about that.” “Tl call him in the morning,” Marie said. “But we can work on the places where the meter isn’t quite right.” It was when Luella and Henry were alone in their own home that Henry said; «Weren't you a bit abrupt in replying to Tommy’s suggestion that we go some place for gianert No,” said Luella. “Anyway, 1 didn't mean to be, Hens, Ps tired.
