The trip will be the first trial run of a project to haul gasoline from the oil fields of the upper Gulf coast to the Eastern Sea board via the waterway and in shore route to evade U-boats. Capt. Arthur Oliver of Palatka is skipper of the tug which will make the trial run. Gasoline is being brought here from Tampa and loaded aboard the barges. Capt. Oliver said several days would be required to finish load ing' y 5 Axis Fighter Plane Destroyed At Malta VALETTA, Malta, May 25—<#)— An Axis fighter plane was destroy ed and four other fighters and two bombers were damaged in raids o-'er Malta today, a communique said. A German bomber and two Ital ian/fighters were shot down Sun CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR So she was engaged to Wayne Courtright! Even though she kept reminding herself of this astonish ing fact, Tibby could hardly accept it herself. She had told him that she would marry him. He had said he was going to get her a ring. It was all as definite as that. Maybe it was in order to try to make herself believe it—much as a per son will pinch himself to see if he is awake—that Tibby told Marg. Naturally she would want Marg to be the first to know, anyway. Everyone else would know soon enough, too soon if Wayne got the ring for her as he had said he would last night. “I’m going to marry Wayne Courtright,” Tibby said to Marg, a simple statement of fact, much as she had made when she had said to Wayne, “Yes, I will mar ry you.” But now she added, “I am very happy.” Was this last a chellenge to whatever response her friend might make or to all that Marg might think and not say? Or was it another statement to tty to con vince herself that that was so? Marg did not seem as surprised as Tibby had expected her to be. She did not say the things Tibby had expected her to say, whatever she might be thinking. All she said was , “If you’re happy, I’m glad for you—only hold on to it, darling. The world is going so mad that I doubt if any of us dare count on any happiness that will be lasting. I have some news for you, too.” She threw back her head with a proud little gesture, almost a ges ture of release. In a way, it was that for her. after all these months of turmoil and indecision, for, as Tibby had discovered, in telling Wayne that she would marry him, nearly any decision is better than doubt. Indecision and doubts tear one apart. “John has resigned,” Marg said. “He has enlisted.” Tibby forgot to be surprised that Marg had had such brief comment to make in regard to her own news—no wisecracks, no reproach es—in her own surprise at her friend’s news. Surprise that came as much from Marg's evident ac ceptance of her captain’s action, as from the action itself. “Are you glad?” she asked. “Is that what you want him to do?” “One of us had to do some thing,” Marg returned grimly. “We couldn’t go on as we were. I told you it was a sort of living death. Yes, S’;*i glad. It’s what he wants to do, for John says that our country cannot keep out of this bloody war much longer. He says we cannot isolate ourselves while such wrongs are being com mitted all around us, such cold blooded atrocities. He’s going to be sent to Hawaii,” she added. “He goes the first of next montn.” Only on * this last statement did her syes sadden, her tone hold re gret. “It’s very fine of him.” Tibby said. Marg’s captain had not let her down, destroyed her faith. No matter what happened, she would always have that. There would be no disillusionment in her love. “It is, indeed,” Marg said. “And he’s doing it, too, to save me. Though that may sound theatri cal.” She gave a short laugh. “It may shock you, darling, but I wanted to go away with him, kick over the traces, defy the world. I did my darnest to make him take me. I don’t believe, loving him as I do, I’d have regrets, but he was so sure I would, so deter mined not to let me make that sort of sacrifice, that this is his answer—to go where I cannot even follow him.” Tibby said, “I’m not shocked, dear.” She knew that Marg felt her love much stronger than the ties of a marriage that did not mean anything, much bigger than any man-made laws. She knew, too, that her captain was right. No matter how great her love, such sacrifice for any woman was too much. More than before, Tibby admired and was grateful to Marg’s captain. Marg would not have to resign; Tibby was glad of that, not only for the selfish reason that she would hate to lose her friend, but because she knew that Marg loved her work as air hostess and was considered c*ie of the most compe tent the company ever had em ployed. However, Marg soon dispelled these ideas of Tibby’s. She said now. “Of course if America is drawn into this war, which, in spite of John’s predictions and the rumors that the Japs may act up, I can hardly credit, then I will en list, too, as a nurse. But I don’t suppose,” she gave a wry little smile, “that I would be sent to any such glamorous place as Hawaii. My luck never runs that way. But I’m glad, since John has to go, that his has.” Tibby was to remember that re mark later. And to wonder if Marg had. It was not to prove lucky, I after all, for her captain to. be sent to such a “glamorous” place, although maybe, had her captain had his choice, he still would have been glad that Hawaii was where he was to be sent within such a short time that another month would find him there on tha first field of action, when the war he had forseen did strike his own be loved country. Tibby told Marg, too, about the beautiful s i 1 v er ship. “Though maybe I shan’t be allowed to fly it,” she added, thinking of the trip home she hoped to take in the spring, “if war comes.” Maybe, too, Wayne would find a world that was so uprooted he would not want to “give” it to her, as he had teasingly said. Maybe he, too, would want to serve his country, since he was such an authority on aviation. Maybe, as Marg had pre dicted, all happiness would be fleeting that none could be long retained. “You'd find some use for it,” Marg said. “There will be civil aeronautic units for home defense —all that sort of organization. Think what you could do for your country with a ship all your own! You draw the lucky numbers all right, my pet.” She purposely spoke on a lighter tone to end the seriousness of all that had gone before. “I can’t believe it,” Tibby said, that she owned a plane, that it really was hers. Of course it wouldn’t be, if she did not marry Wayne, if their marriage was post poned, for instance, in the event of war. She did not know why she should think that; she had told Wayne she would marry him. He had not allowed her much time for her answer. She did not imagine DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. A blow 4.

Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc. he would allow her much time, either, for her marriage. She did not know why this thought should prove somewhat disturbing, so disturbing that she almost might wish for a war, or some lesser catastrophy, to cause postponement. There was no use in that. She supposed she would marry Wayne when he wanted her to, but she hoped that would not be too soon. Was every girl reluctant, wheth er sure of her -love or not, to take that final, fateful step? Or should she, if her heart had spoken, be as eager as she would then be confident? Tibby, in giving Wayne his an swer, had resolved to put all such doubts and questions aside. If she had not, they were to be put aside for her in the symbol Wayne had chosen, as he had decided to do without delay, to announce and bind that betrothal and pledge. It was, of course, coincident that again there should be two boxes delivered, one addressed to Miss Elizabeth Lane, the other to Miss Steena Winters, as there had been two prviously delivered by the florist’s boy. These boxes, how ever, almost identical in size, were from a prominent jeweler’s. Tibby was thankful that Steena’s could be left unopened until she came in from her flight, grateful she could open hers in privacy. She knew, before either was opened, what each would contain. Steena’s was Wayne’s farewell gift. Hers was an engagement ring. She even thought, foolishly, that it would have been more ac cording to plan could *he have exchanged those two small boxes, giving Steena the ring, herself the other. That was the way it might have been, but it was too late fot any exchange now. 2 (To Be Continued) -V Manufacturers Deny Profiterring Charge; Say Profits Smaller CHICAGO, May 25.—OP—The na tional association of manufacturers tonight made public a report de signed to refute any chaises of in. dustry “profiteering” on war con tracts. The brochure concluded that profit margins on gross business were narrower since 1930 than they were in the preceding decade chiefly because of the growing “tax burden,” and added: “Under the defense and war pro duction programs, net profits be fore taxes have risen largely be cause the increased volume of bus iness has reduced overhead costs per unit. However, direct costs, especially taxes, wages and raw materials, have' been cutting into net profit margins. “Increased labor costs since 1940 have not been offset by increased output per worker. The higher taxes since 1941 have drained off much of the profit. Since the tax load will increase much further during the next two years we may expect a further narrowing of the profit margin.” -V Houses on the island of Malta are mostly of stone.
