Wherefore, practically the sole i function ot the formal announcement. will be to put everyone on notice i lhat the Commissioner will from now | on wage an active a;:.'. ii ne stays : "in character" an aggressive cam paign to retain the post which is also being sought by State Senator C. u'ayiand (Rippling Waters) Spruill. L'rom Beitie county. There is little doubt of the kind i oi campaign Scoti will make. He will j base his case for re-nomination on the claim that he has more than Lul filled the promises he made lour ; years ago when he ousted .veteran ! Will A. Graham by something like j 20.00(1 votes to score what most sea- ; sen.cd observers conceded to be a! major upset of the political dope bucket. Not so long ago the Department of Agriculture put out what it termed a "Three-Year Record ol Achieve ment". a brochure which listed its outstanding accomplishments under the leadership ol the incumbent Commissioner. This will doubtle . be the Scott "Campaign Bible" and every effort will he made to acquaint voters with it contents. Increased efficiency along all lines will be claimed by Scott advocates and in support of this claim the rec ord will be citf ' to show that in the past three year very regulatory and in^pectional seivice has been more active: that the marketing service has been expanded and vitalized to the point where it is rendering far mers a better service than ever be fore: that the Commissioner per sonally cooperated in preparation of the so-called Bailey marketing bill! row before Congress and is exert ing every effort to secure its passage | in a form which will help North Carolina farmers: that politics has been scorned in the making of De partment appointments: and that in general, the entire Department has been "revitalized" to a degree which makes it almost unrecognizable to those who knew it under its former : regime. All of which v.ili. quite probably, disputed by Spruill supporters, i. -:t that.s what makes a Hood, hot political race: and it can be said '.uite safely of Scott that he never codged a fight in his life and will ablo to "take it"' as well as "dish i: out" if the going gets tough.

I've a message from Myra for Terry. And if he's very ill it might upset him more to see you." Cholly nodded. "All right. I'll wait here." Romany knocked and a large, round-faced nurse opened the door. "I've permission to see Mr. O'Rourke a moment," she whis pered. Nurse Boyer admitted her and went out. ••Terry," Romany called softly. "It's—Romany. I've come to see how you feel." "Oh—Romoy." Terry opened his eyes dully. Then he made a gallant attempt to grin. "I'm glad to see you, Glamor Gal." Romany tried to smile back. "You sort of ran into something, it seems." "Argument with a truck, and 1 lost." Terry closed his eyes again. "How's Cholly?" "She's fine," Romany told him. "She's outside. I thought I'd better come in first and see if you wanted to see her." "Sure—sure." Terry opened his eyes again. "Have you seen Myra, Romey ?" Romany nodded. "Yes. She sen* for me." "Good!" Terry grinned painfully "Guess the kid had a few things to get off her conscience." "She asked me to forgive her and I told her there was nothing to forgive." Terry smiled. "Myra isn't a bad guy. ."She's had to climb up the ladder the hard way and doesn't want to see any body take her place. I guess any body would feel that way." "Surely they would," Romany generously agreed. "Tell me the truth." Terry said then. "Is she going to be all right?" "I—think so. It's her legs that are injured." Terry covered his eves with a bandaged arm. "It's all my fault." he said hoarsely, "if she doesn't walk again. I was potted, and she didn't want me to drive. But you know me when I make up my mind!" Romany touched iiis arm sympa thetically. "You mustn't blame yoursel." too much. Terry. You must get well Try not to worry about anything till you're stronger." "I—I'll make it up to her " Terry's voice trembled. "As soon as I am well enough I'm going to ask her to marry me. I'm not much good—but—'' "Oh. Terry." Romany said happi ly, "I'm so glad! Myra loves you She told me for the first time in her life she knows what love it. She sent me to see how you /."ere. Terry grinned. "Myra—said that? Swell: Then 1 guess everything's all set. Maybe somebody'll give me a break so 1 can support a family. Romany said fervently: "Terry O'Hourke, if yoi settle down to your singing, nothing in the world can keep you from the top. If you slay sober—" When she hesitated, Ferry sighed. "Listen, if a scare like this doesn't put a man on the water •.vagon, there isn't much hope tor him. I'm cured. I've wrecked my self and injured a wonia*. tor hie. I've had my lesson." "I'm sure you have." Romany's voice was warm with friendliness "About—Cholly." Terry closed his eyes. "Did she take my busting up pretty hard, Forney ?" "She was terribly sorry," Rom any assured him. "It happened just as she was about to announce her engagement." The muscles in Terry's face tensed, but there was no other sign of emotion. "1 guess Hay worth is a pretty swell guy. Tell Cholly they have my blessing. But no man ic good enough for my —for Cholly." "I know." Romany said sadly. "But Terry, this is all for the best. Would you like to see her for a moment ? She is outside." Terry hesitated, then shook his head. "No. Romey—not yet. Not now. I - I'd kind of like to wait until 1 , «et used to the idea of marrying I iomebody else—an ! everything." Romany choked. "1 understand. Ana so will Cholly." She bent and touched Ferry's cheek .vith n -r fingers "I like you. Terry! And goodbyj for now. I —I'll bo hearing big' things about your singing some ofj these days." "Thanks, Glamor Gal no i grinned again. Then lie closed his eyes wearily and Romany went j hurriedly from the room. Outside the door. Romany tnokj CholJv's arm and led her down the corridor "He—thinks it's better for you to come later." she tuld Charlotte I with great relief. "He's very tired. J One visitor was about all he could stand today." "He—he's going to be all right ?" Cholly asked, wiping her eyes on her wisp of a handkerchief. "I'm afraid so," Romany smiled. "Or he'd hardlv be making wed i ding plans." Cholly stc Romany r "He's goi * marry Myra ar scon as tl ut of the lirr l pital. He sa . i: esses some jone'll give h:-. : ak so he can 1 support a fa .

I'he hard way, as Tony says He needs responsibility to spur him to do tilings. He blames himself for injuring Myra and feels he must take care of her. "I've a strange feeling they'll make a go of it. Myra's helplessness has touched the one chord in Terry's Irish heart that will make a man of him." Gholly smiled suddenly. "I think perhaps you're right. He needed someone weaker than him self. Oh. Romany! I'm so glad for them both." "So am I," Romany sighed. "And Myra will walk. Wait and see. She'll walk for Terry's sake." Back at the farm, a beaming Baxter l'ree ran down the steps to greet the girls when they drove up to the wide veranda. "Romany!" He pulled her out of the car. "Oh. my darling!" When Romany caught her breath, she said wonderingly: "Why. Bax! What has happened to you ?" "My show!" He lifted her from her feet and kissed her. "Hal Trot ter has sold •Paradise'." Cholly hurried into the house, leaving them alone in the falling twilight, 'iomany clung to him as il she would never let him go. "I knew it," she said finally. "I was sure you would sell it, Bax. Now you—won't go away!" He kissed her warm cheeks ten derly. "Not—if I'm not too late, dar ling. If I'm still in the running. Is there any chance of my using up a little of the time that Nelson guy has been taking so much of?" Romany raised her lips. "Oh. Bax! I've—a lifetime that's yours. AH yours. You—blind dar iinii " As Cocelia smiled from the win i'i/W ot the hall upstairs, Bax and Romany became oblivious to the world. Then Cissie heard footsteps behind hor and turned quickly. It was Brent Nelson. A few moments later Romany remembered to ask: "Oh, Bax—and who is our spon sor for "Paradise?' Naturally, I'd like to know, since I'm to be your leading lady." "Our lucky sponsor"—Bax kissed hor n; rjin "is a perfume guy. The Lenoir Perfume company." Romany gasped. Aunt Cissie! Lenoir was the broken-down com pany Cecelia had bought in Paris and planned to move to Chicago. But she derided it would be just as well to keep the sponsor's real iden tity secret for the time being. She smiled, and her green eyes were like emeralds. Bui suddenly sh? remembered Brent and what she must tell him. and a shadow c;- :ssed the radiance of her lovely :'~ce.

STEWART ] Central Press Columnist Washington, March G—Naval ex- , perts are talking now about battle ships of 70,000 tons apiece. No craft j j of that size ever has been built but! \ competent authorities testify that! they'd be perfectly practicable. And' gosh, but they would ue strong! ! Thirty-five thousand tonners are ( afloat now. Forty to forty-five thou- j ; sand tonner.-j are under serious con- j sideration. But 70 is the latest guess, j ' There are three objections to 70,- , 000 tons. One is that a vessel of that size J" would be enormously expensive to j , build. But that doesn't greatly mat- 1 ' ter. The money can be dug up by , our country which spends well into the billions annually. Objection No. 2 is that no yards are available on earth of sulficient' capacity to do the building. Still, ade quate yards can be provided. Objection No. 3 presents a harder! problem to solve. There isn't much ; ocean with sufficient water in it for a 70,000-tonner to operate in. i Seventy thousand tons could swish i around in mid-Atlantic or mid-1 Pacific, to be sure, but when that much dead weight gets inshore,! where it can be useful, there wouldn't be depth enough to accom modate it. For example, one of Britain's com plaints, in connection with its mari- j time campaign against Germany, is that the North sea's too shallow toi ; John Bull's lighting bouts in excess j of such pewees as ten or twelve! thousand tons. If J. Bull's really big j vessels could get in there, they soon would clean up Herr Hitler's pocket! scrappers. They can't get in, though, j They require more water than the ] North sea bathtub provides. Paniama Canal. And suppose we had three or four . 70,000 tonners. In the event of gen eral hostilities, we'd want to keep them chasing back and forth through the Panama canal. licking Germany some forenoon in the Caribbean and whaling Japan on the Pacific side the next afternoon or two. Now, at present writing, a 70.000 tonner couldn't get through that canal. True, we have a new set of locks. Possibly 70.COO tons could skimp past on their basis, but even that's doubt ful. It would scrape both sides and the bottom, at best. Otherwise the trip around Cape Horn would be ex ceedingly monotonous in an emer ; gency. It wouldn't be very funny to I have 70.000 American battleship tons j stuck in the canal, either.
