The Christ spirit was present in the earliest steps of creation. Jesus was
the express image and character of the Creator and he proved that it in I
possible to be God-like. Without him was not any thing made that was
made— Jn. 1:3.
Not Much To Cheer About
^pHFRF’S lots of talk these days about having a second
capital for the government to skip off to in case we Ket
into an H-bomb war. Representative John Rankin, the
Mississippi fireball, suggests we go underground at Mam-
moth Cave, Ky.
That presents some challenging angles. Right off, a big
problem would be to find some echo-proof chambers for
congress, for not even the lawmakers could endure a con-
stant play-back of their own sonorous phrases. It’s had
enough that they bump into them now in the Congressional j
Record.
They shouldn’t have too much trouble running inter-
ference among the stalactites, stalagmites and other rocky
obstacles dotting their underground path. Years of experi-
ence in fending off job-seeking constituents would come in
handy here.
The standard gripe about climate won’t exactly fit at
Mammoth, though some undoubtedly would find the place a
trifle cool and moist. We could ex|*>ct a big boom in sales
of foot warmers, de-humidifiers, heavy woolen goods.
* * *
^ND despite all cries for economy, some new agencies
would be bound to spring up. Certainly a federal bat,
control authority would he one. Today anti-stream pollu- I
tion control gets attention. At Mammoth, anti-steam con-
trol would be more to the point.
Many members of capital officialdom probably would '
feel safer if their cave-dwelling were an around-the-clock
affair. But others would surely prefer to climb out of the ■
bole at sundown and scatter to snug Kentucky hide-outs
Vice President Barkley, who hails from Paducah, could
easily slip home week-ends.
Ground Hog day likely would he matched by Congress-
man s day. If a lawmaker climbed out of the cave and saw
his shadow, it would mean another year of an unbalanced
budget.
• * *
yACATIONS would pose a difficulty. For short trips,
nearby Fort Knox might have some appeal. The place !
could be expanded to include a few' choice suites. Snuggling I
up to all that gold would be comforting to men who had 1
just voted another ten billion.
About the only passable substitute for Florida or Cali- I
forma would be the giant Carlsbad caverns in New Mexico.
Plenty of space there, hut you have to bring vour owm ultra- J
violet.
Not much to cheer about in all this, admittedly. But'
Rankin nevertheless may have something. Offhand it'sounds
better than exposing oneself to a radio-active rash by strut-
ting around Des Moines or Denver in broad daylight.
Lots of seeds we’re reading about now will come up
next spring—but not to expectations.
., ^ judafe suggests brain exxaminations for speeders. Isn’t
that taking a lot for granted?
A wagon driver, feeding his steed, has his own unique
way of putting a la carte before the horse.

Mrs. Norm Whitaker directed the program Wednesday

THE STORY: Alice Pine, secre-
tary to Muriel Hallcck, who writes
popular stories under the name of
I "Jo Palurave,” suspects Muriel's
husband Brent of cruelty to Rlek,
his four-year-old adopted son. Al-
though Alice cannot forgive this,
she feels strangely drawn to Brent.
One night Muriel see Brent take
Alice in his arms, but Muriel does
not seem to be disturbed. Brent
goes away to take an advertising
job. One week-end Muriel goes to
I New York to sec her literary agent,
leaving Alice alone. Brent turns up
unexpectedly. He asks Alice to go
sailing with him, but Alice refuses,
feeling she shouldn't. Later Brent
r< turns and they go for a walk.
Alice realises Brent is unhappy
and tells him she hates to see him
so. Brent asks "Why?” Alice re-
plies. “Because I like you.” She had
meant her words to sound casual,
but her voice betrays her.
* * *
XXIII
A LICE'S voice had betrayed her
definitely. And Brent Halleck
caught her in Ills arms. Alice’s
hands came up instinctively, press-
ed against his chest. Pressed once,
and then dismayingly the strength
went out of them.
"You like me?" It was a swift
hoarse whisper as Brent repeated
Alice Pine’s words.
Her lips, raised and parted, were
too close. Brent's head bent.
It was a rough, hard kiss. Its
very roughness brought Alice to
her senses. She pushed him away,
but his fingers clung to one arm.
Bit into it, hurt it.
"I asked you something,” he
said, unsteadily. "You haven't an-
swered.”
Had he let her go, even slack- I
ened that painful grip, she might
have said something entirely dif-
ferent. But the fingers remained,
digging inexorably into soft flesh!
And. all at once, came the re-
memberance of another arm, mot-
tled with blue bruises. And with
it, a more disturbing recollection.
Thunder rolling; a black sky torn
by peals of livid lightning.
"No, Brent." Strange how a re-
pulsion she had thought long gone
could swarm back. "I_i couldn't.
Ever. I said I liked you. I do, when
I shouldn’t. When it doesn't make
sense. But . , ." She stopped, aware
of spilling words wildly.
Brent's eyes seemed to cut at
her. 'Why. Alice? I have to know
why.”
She had herself under control
now. "It would be better. Brent,
/QUESTIONS which have no
'answer . . . Yesterday I
cooked a bang-up good dinner
for about 20 people who didn’t
come to eat it, nor did they
bother to tell me they weren't
coming. Why? I was worn to a
frazzle before I went near the
stove, and I’m so accustomed to
being compensated for my cook-
ing efforts by the voracious ap-
petites and keen enjoyment of
the diners that the empty places
at the tables gave me a terrible
let-down feeling . . . Why?
There were so many little odds
and ends of the fund campaign
to be picked up yesterday (hat I
began at 6:30 About 3 p. m. I
had run out from under the
buttons of my coat and had to
stop in Bob Evans’ cleanator-
ium and ask Mrs. Flippen to sew
them on for me, which she did
in the twinkling of an eye.
Would have taken me an hour
at home. Not just to sew on the
buttons, but first I'd have to
find the scissors, the needle, the
heavy duty thread and my
thimble. Don’t ask me why I
don’t keep all those things in a
basket right where I can get my
hands on it. I just don’t, thats
all; and besides that I had a
few minutes to shoot the breeze
with Bob, he being an industrious
lad with hopes for big things
for El Reno.
Somebody asked me yesterday
if this wonderful weather doesn’t
make me want to dig in the dirt.
Not on your life. It makes me
want to hire someone to garden
for me while I sit on the sunny
side of a building, head on knees,
Mexican peon fashion, and
sleep. Why?

| if you didn't make me tell you.”
"Why?”
* * *
TygURIEL all but fell into Alice’s
arms on the station platform.
She looked wilted, even to the
elfin hat, which had looked so
perky and trim that morning.
"Oh, what a day! Don't ask me
a single thing tonight, Alice. I’m
just not up to it. Tomorrow I’ll
catch you up on all the dirt.”
Alice, her mind still e whirlpool,
didn't ask questions. But Sunday
was well advanced before she and
Muriel were alone again.
Muriel and Brent spent the
morning in the study. They
emerged for a midday dinner at
which Muriel was gay and Brent
unusually talkative. But Muriel
did not refer to her business on
the previous day. If, Alice thought,
she’s trying to keep me in sus-
pense. she’s succeeding beautifully.
After dinner Alice retired to her
own room. With a family con-
clave on, it seemed the discreet
move. She read a while, but pres-
ently fell asleep. It was nearly eve-
ning before she went downstairs
again.
Muriel was arranging flowers in
the living room. "Well. Alice!” She
stepped back, inspecting a vase
critically. "At last, we're around to
you and me.”
"Oh,” Alice said, “there's no
hurry.”
“Well Brent and I are talked
out. Beyond that, he’s gone.”
Alice controlled a start. There
was every reason why Brent should
have left without seeing her. But
she had been silly enough to think
that he wouldn’t—today.
"You mean he’s gone back to
Providence?"
Once she had wanted to tell him:
make him flinch at the accusation.
But now she seemed able to man-
age nothing but an almost indis-
tinct mumble. "Because of some-)
thing that happened. Something J
wish I'd never seen. The night ol j
that awful storm. I like you as a
—a friend, Brent. But I can’t for-
get—that. And it would spoil any
—anything else.”
Brent’s fingers left her arm. He
backed away. But his eyes were
down.
"I see," he said sofUy. “Okay.
Alice. If that's how you feel.”
"Well, how else could I pos-
sibly ...”
But she spoke to nothing. Brent
Halleck had gone.
Then Alice remembered that it
was nearly time to meet Muriel
Haileck’s train.
'Presumably. Sit down, Alice,
and—forget Brent."
* * *
ALICE gave her a sharp look.
she had the uneasy feeling
that Muriel had been about to add
something else and changed her
mind at the last second.
Instead, she waited for Alice to
seat herself on the divan and then
Muriel sat down beside her. Mu-
riel fairly beamed. She was anx-
ious to tell Alice something that
she thought Alice wanted to hear.
.Muriel said: "Hold your hat.
Alice! You've got yourself a job
in California, if you want it."
"1?” Alice Jumped. “California?"
"You. California. Oh, Alice!” Mu-
riel kicked up her heels wildly
like a hoyden. “I’ve hit the Jack-
pot. Pat and I had company yes-
terday. a very charming man
named Alec Crowther. Does that
ring any bells?”
Alice nodded. "Isn’t he some
terrific Hollywood person?”
"Just about the biggest of the
big brass in Ganz-Phenix Pictures.
Smack me down. Alice, if I start
sounding big-headed. But, accord-
ing to Pat, this Alec Crowther
flew all the way to New York just
to see Little Jo.” Muriel chuckled
reminiscently. “That’s what he
calls me, 'Little Jo’ Palgrave.”

men in a supervisory capacity or your present

We will present our plan only if wife accom-
panies you. Her happiness is contingent upon
your success and we feel that she should know
