That’s who did it.” Larry answered the professor’s nocking smile with an identical me. “Oh did you now?” With a Winger he prodded the three ocks of hair he still was holding this palm. “These did it. These hee little curls snitched from »i?s over at Daley’s Theatrical My house. Of course,” he added nth a laugh, “I helped by making add love to her, then ignoring but these were the climax. »?ou see, I made her cry.” Far a long moment Verazano was tot. so silent that Larry began Midget. “Yes,” Verazano agreed Myi n soft words that lashed Mgh the younger man’s chortl egotism and brought forth 11 uncomfortable ruddiness, “you “deher cry.

That’s the important thing.” “It’s the way you did it. You have a mighty mean streak in you, Larry.” “I believe you’re jealous because I have accomplished more with her than you.” “You haven’t accomplished more. Time will prove that. Besides, I’d never stoop to be jealous of such a contemptible trick.” Verrazano gave a sniff of repugnance. "But I told you they were wigs.” “I fail to see why that makes a difference.” “It will when I tell Anette.” Verrazano said, “But you’re not going to tell her. You’re not even going to see her.” “Oh, yes I am!” Larry’s dtermi nation came out in loud chest tones. “You can’t stop me.” The older man yelled right back. “I can stop you for the time be ing.” Their argument had grown so in tense they had committed the un pardonable sin of the theater. They had forgotton the play. A young mountanees character, just exit ing, edged toward his raging in structor. “Professor Verrazano,” he ventured, "you and Mr. Peyton are doing a better scene back here than we are out front And it is a whale of lot louder.” A horrified look spread over the teacher’s florid countenance and the veins in this tempes stood out. Then he subsided completely and it was that that conquered the un ruly young actor. Verrazano sim ply gave him a gentle shove and said in a whisper. “You’d better go, Larry.” And Larry went. Verrazano found Anette on 1V fire escape. She was shivering in the cold and her hands were gripp ed around the sooty iron railing. Beyond the bonelike structure of the elevated track, the sunset was a dismal streaked pattern of red and cold grey. Urgently Verrazano led her down the spiral staircase to a dressing room, where he show her before the makeup mirror. “Take a good look at your-self,” he snapped, and relaxed as he heard her sobs stop in midair. He smiled wisely. “Thank God, there is always a looking glass around somewhere to silence a weeping woman.” The girl turned. "But he really was right. Professor Verrazano. I simply couldn’t stop crying long enough to tell him so.” Fresh tears filled her eyes. Verrazano took hold of her shoul ders with force. “For heaven’c sake don’t start sniveling again! I've had enough. Besides, you must not exhaust this emotion, Anette. You must hoard it in your heart and mind. Draw on it when you need it, like electricity back of a switch.” • • • When Anette left the Little the ater shortly after eleven she saw Laurence Peyton immediately. Not caring to brave Verrazano’s wrath for the second time, he was waiting in a taxi. His being there seemed so right that she just walked to ward the vehicle without once hesi tating. Larry himself opened the door and she got in. He said, ‘Four Arts club” to the driver, then set tled back and took her hand. They rode along in total silence. In the vestibule of the residence club, he began to talk in a rather nervous voice, not that he made reference to the incident at the matinee. He simply said, “You gave a fine performance, dear.” Anette, completely dry-eyed now and poised, said with honesty, "You deserve a lot of the credit.” “It doesn’t matter who gets the credit. You, Verrazano, I or any one else. The important thing is to continue giving fine performances. And I think you will.” She fitted her latch-key into the lock. “I’m going to try.” She look ed mildly startled when his 'hand came down over hers and pulled both it an£ the key away from the lock. Her eyes widened still more vjf*m he pulled her into his arms. Not that she was afraid. And cer tainly not unwilling. She was even a bit ashamed of herself because she was so completely willing. » When he kissed her the first time, she thought, 'Tm glad I’ve never kissed anyone else, except in a play, of course.” “When he kiss Overhead Wires Are Sought At Beaufort Application for a permit to con struct overhead wire crossings in this section by the Carteret-Craven Electric Membership corporation of Beaufort has been made to the U.

Just then Larry took his lips away from hers and chuckled. She drew back sharply, but the hurt look in her deep topaz eyes disap peared instantly as he pulled her close again. “I was wondering,” he told her, “how many years it has been since I’ve kissed anyone like that. I was wondering if I’ve ever kissed anyone like that. When I iuss August, I think of my profile. When I started to kiss you it was largely sympathy—but, great day!” he exploded, “now I feel as if a sandbag had hit me—and I don’t exactly like it.” He gave her a slight shove toward the doors. “Go to bed. I’ll pick you up at ten in the morning. There is important business to be attended to.” U.S. MAY LIMIT BOND PURCHASES Clause Written Into Bill Would Hold Federal Re serve To $5,000,000 WASHINGTON, Ftb. 26.— UR — the House tentatively wrote into the Senate-approved second war powers bill today a clause limiting to $5,000,000,000 the amount of gov ernment obligations that Federal Reserve banks may purchase di rectly from the treasury. Under existing law, the banks can buy Federal bonds only on the open market. The treasury and the Federal Reserve Board asked authority for direct purchases, say ing it was necessary to expedite the financing of the war without endangering the stability of the bond market. Accordingly legisla tion was offered permitting unlim ited purchases of that kind and it was recently approved by the Sen age. However, Rep. Smith (D.-Va.) offered an amendment containing the $5,000,000,000 limit and it was approved today on a teller vote of 128 to 93. This decision is subject to a later rollcall vote. Smith said the limitation was a desirable safeguard against the possibility that unlimited direct bond transactions might lead to inflation. “The next worse thing to losing this war,” the Virginian said, “would be wild, uncontrolled, print ing press inflation.” The opposition to Smith’s amend ment was led by Chairman Sum ners (D.-Tex.) of the Judiciary committee and Rep. McLaughlin (D.-Neb.), head of the subcom mittee that studied the bill. McLaughlin asserted the power to deal directly with the treasury would be exercised by the Reserve banks only in cases of emergency and was not intended to be used for ordinary government financing. He pointed out that there was no compulsion on the part of the banks to buy the bonds. “There is nothing inflationary about it,” he added. Sumners contended the power was necessary to preserve orderly markets. “There should be some limit, somewhere, over the dealings be tween the Treasury and the Feder al Rserve banks,” declared Rp. Dewey (R.-Ill.), contending the danger of inflation was inherent in the Treasurp proposal. Rep. Wolcott (R.-Mich.), said the proposal “rocks the very founda tion of an otherwise sound econom ic system,” and Rep. Burdick (R. N. D.), declared that the treasury might just as well issue currency instead of bonds if there was no restriction on direct sales of se curities to reserve banks. 3 --V John Ogg To Conier Yith T Committee A representative of the national YMCA building bureau, John W. Ogg, will be in Wilmington the latter-part of next week to confer with local “Y” officials. J. B. Huntington, secretary of the Y, explained that original plans for improvements to the Y. M. C. A. here had been changed slightly due to a smaller building fund than originally planned. Mr. Ogg will go over the prob lems of the committee and advise it on what action to take, Mr. Hunt ington said, and work on improv ing the building will start soon after his report is made to the national council. -V FORMER DANCER DIES LONDON, Feb. 26. — (* — Mrs. Ethel Donoghue, 46, former Ameri can dancer hnd wife of Steve Don oghue, famous horse trainer and former Jockey, died at St. George’s hospital last night.

FREE FUN Although New York City is quite a few steps from Camp Davis, it’s a soldier’s paradise and the visit is well worth the effort. Free theater tickets for stage and movie pro ductions ar eone reward. Just to cite an example, Cpl. Charles Bailey and Sgt. William King of the Military Police detachment saw these three shows in the big city during a three day leave: Macbeth, Watch on the Rhine, and It Happens on Ice. THE GOOD LIFE Dave Johnke of the M. P. de tachment forwards this description of the detachment day room, a description so glowing that it stamps the writer as the logical choice to do recruiting for the hawkshaws, to wit: “The day room has been trans formed into a neat and enjoyable place for the boys to spend their leisure time. Attractive curtains are placed on the windows; a car pet has been laid at one end of the room, its color blending with the homey atmosphere. The radio has been repaired, so the boys now can listen to their favorite pro grams. A few more lamps have been added; also, many comfort able chairs. The magazine rack boasts a wide selection of reading material. And the M. P.’s have their own stationery, with the dis tinctive heading printed in green.” AN OLD SAW Old timers (more or less) love to send recruits on outlandish mis sions; for example, to get some bugle oil, a left-handed wrench, or sky hooks. And when the recruit returns empty-handed with what he believes to be a reasonable ex cuse, the knowing veterans join in hearty laughter. „ Just the other day, a rookie was sent to the regimental supply of fice to obtain some feathers, “to feather a machine gun nest.” The sergeant at the supply office im mediately recognized the joke and referred the poor soldier to another office, and so, on and on. RESOURCEFUL MAN Staff Sgt. Constance of the Medi cal Detachment is responsible for the collection and distribution of laundry in his outfit. Anyone in the Army will tell you that’s a trouble some job. Each day hundreds of men, it seems, ask whether the laundry is in or whether it’s gone out. , Our sergeant has partially solved the problem by printing two large signs which he places on the door of the supply room; which sign he uses depends on the particular day. One sign reads, “Laundry In,” and the other says “Laundry Not In Yet.” The signs save words, steps and minutes, Sergeant Constance says. MINIATURE LIBRARY Battery £> of the 100th is building up a little library of its own. Books on the shelves include the following authors: Hawthorne, Poe, Dickens Kipling, Longfellow, Irving and Standish. 3 REGIMENTAL HISTORIES Each regiment at Camp Davis is keenly aware of the importance of keeping a running account of its activities for posterity. These accounts are documented with pho tographs which some day will be scrutinized by persons anxious to know just what this or that regi ment did in the “last world war.” -V The average man is worth only one cent an hour as a source of energy, according to a professor.
