The thing must be settled once and for all. At nine o'clock Wednesday evening eve-ning Anne called her husband'! office on the 'phone, asked If she might speak to Gregg, and upon hearing his voice over th wire, hung np the receiver without apeak ing a word. So far so good. It waa now 9 :05. Anne backed her own roadrter from the garage and drove down town and parked at a spot shlch commanded a view of the front door of Gregg's office building. Hardly had she switched off the Ignition when her heart gave a bound. A blue coupe, with chromium covered cov-ered tire racks mounted on either running board, had Just pulled away from the opposite curb. There were two people in the car, a man and a woman. The man was Gregg ! There was no mistaking it The blue coupe with the chromium chrom-ium tire covers was his. There was no mistaking this, either. Anne sat as If stunned. Now that she had actually seen with her own eyes, the revelation was more of a blow than she had anticipated. The shock of it had a sort of numbing effect She sat still for five minutes. Gradually her tensed muscles relaxed. re-laxed. She moved automatically, started the car, guiding It through traffic toward home. Home! The thought sickened her, tore at her heart Gregg untrue I Incredible ! Yet she had seen . . . Well, it was best she knew, best that the thing was settled. Now she could conduct herself with some definite plan of action In mind. Of course she'd have to leave Gregg. This was inevitable. The parting would be hard. She pictured his looking at her. That would be harder still meeting meet-ing his eyes, which had always been so twinkly and wholly lovable. Anne told herself she still loved him. Hers was the kind of love that went on and on. It would never end. Yet It would be easier not seeing him ... She left her roadster beside the house. It would be best to leave tonight. Perhaps before Gregg came home. No, that wouldn't do. She'd pack first, then wait to face him. The house was deathly still. It was always still and lonesome feeling without Gregg there. It always would be. Anne's lips were grim. There was a strange calm about her, a determination In her expres elon. She hoped that the feeling of strength which had come to comfort com-fort her would last until the thing was done. Anne snapped on her dressing table light and began to gather things Into a little pile.. For one brief moment she thought of Gregg and almost gave In to the ache in her heart Then something happened Another light snapped on. Anne turned. Gregg was sitting up In bed, rub bing his eyes, trying to adjust a sleep-drugged mind to what was happening. "Gregg!" "Huh? oh, hello, Anne. Sorry 1 dropped off before yon came in. Couldn't help It ... . Too much work . . . Dead tired ... I had to quit early tonight" He lay back. "Dumb cluck of a stenog. tried to make me drive her all the way home. I dropped her at Fifth street . . . Got a bus there." His voice faded. He closed his eyes, breathing heavily in sleep. Once he roused, brushed a hand across his cheek with a little gesture ges-ture of Impatience. For even In slumber the sensa tion caused by hot tears splashing down on one's face is disturbing. BRISBANE THIS WEEK First Break in Germany The Kaiser's Praise What Next in Germany? Vatican Resentment The dictatorial path of Chancellor Chancel-lor Hitler Is cot as smooth as with his colleagues. Mussolini, Kemal rasna ana Stalin. A few killings, suicides tnd ar rests w-ill not put an end to such violent dissatisfaction, and th world wonders what will happen next Old President Hindenburg con gratulates all the survivors. Some of the dead may be better off than the living. According to Universal Sen-Ice. Roehra, who had fought at the side of Hitler since the beginning, did not commit suicide. Left with a loaded revolver in his prison celL he refused to kill himself and, after being given "ten minutes more," was shot down by a firing squad. The former kaiser expresses amazement at Hitler's energy and strength. He says Hitler Is "strong er than ever." It Is clear the chancellor does not lack strength of will or swiftness of execution. Before he had seized complete power he predicted "heads will roll" They are rolling, and Hitler's head man, Goebbels, predicts pre-dicts that "more heads will roll." That the Hitler collapse Is to be followed by horrible violence is only too probable. What would come afterward? Would extreme "red radicalism" come to the front to take control? Would there be that union of Rus sia and Germany that many Ger mans advocated Immediately after the signing of the Versailles treaty? Tha Island of Napoleon Elba, the Island of Napoleon, Is the largest island in the Tuscan archipelago and forms part of the province of Leghorn. While Its real fame attaches to Napoleon, Its material ma-terial fame Is In Its wealthy iron ores, its climate and fertile soil. During Its history, Elba has Involved the Saracens, the people of Bar bary, the PIsans, the Genoese, French, English and Spaniards In warfare. Today It Is part of the kingdom of Italy. The villa of San Martino, an unpretentious building, was altered by Naopleon as a residence resi-dence for himself, but today there is nothing left of the furniture of his time. Eskimo Children Lack? The Eskimo child is in some respects re-spects the luckiest child in tlie world. He Is never scolded or whipped and is respected and revered re-vered by his parents. This is because be-cause the superstition-dominated Eskimo believes that in the child the spirit of Its dead grandfather or this hear an EkImo mother address he child as mother cr f&the& The pope's government In the Vatican resents, bitterly, and naturally, nat-urally, the statement that Helnrlch Klausener, head of the Catholic Action Ac-tion party in Berlin, has committed suicide. An official of the Vatican recalls that "only recently Klausener Klaus-ener made a noble speech to Berlin Catholics, which was read with deepest satisfaction by the Vatican." Vati-can." The Vatican official, quoted by International News Service, adds: "We must strongly protest against the attempt to camouflage murder as suicide, since the Catholic religion re-ligion forbids suicide. Militants, like Klausener, would not dream of taking their own lives." The same official said further: "It is deplorable that, not content with killing their adversary, the brown shirts threw mud at his noble figure. Rudyard Kipling, not as young as he was, but persistently British and patriotic, writes a new poem which says Non Nobis Domine, meaning "Not Unto Us, 0 Lord," should the praise be given. This new "Recessional" "Reces-sional" poem was written for a magnificent mag-nificent pageant celebrating Eng land's marvelous recovery from the big war and depression and dragging drag-ging In the defeat of the armada. Kipling might have written, but did not write: "Non Nobis Domine Give the praise to our gooselike friend Uncle Sam, for without him sending us billions of dollars, and quietly accepting our default, we should not be so well off." This great nation, as mild as a sick white mouse concerning the gigantic gi-gantic defaulted debts of France and England, is roaring like a first-class Hon at Germany's default de-fault It must be a great comfort to find some one to w hom you dare speak plainly. Senator McAdoo, praising President Pres-ident Roosevelt, says, "Rugged Individualism In-dividualism is dying." If that were true, It would be a sad thing for the country, because some necessary neces-sary things white rabbits cannot do. If rugged individualists had died earlier, there would be no tunnels from New York to New Jersey, under un-der the North river. McAdoo cut them there, and It was a rugged Job."

New Ideas Expected to Aid Weather Prophets Air mass analysis, methods for which have been developed largely during the last decade, is rapidly as suming an Important place in forecasting fore-casting the weather. Greater detail in observational material than Is ordinarily or-dinarily available Is necessary for such forecasting. The air-mass analysis method of forecasting calls for the study of two or more conflicting masses of air, usually of widely different origin, and consequently of different characteristics char-acteristics as to temperature and moisture, which come together along what Is called a line of discontinuity, discontinu-ity, a polar front, or a wind shift. Air over polar regions, of course, Is much colder than that over tropical trop-ical regions. The transition, however, is neither gradual nor regular. Instead, In-stead, large masses of air In one or the other region become supercooled or superheated. These masses develop devel-op Into "surges," or "bulges," that meet along an irregular line. Because Be-cause they differ structurally in temperature tem-perature and moisture, and therefore density, the masses do not mix in an orderly fashion but tend to preserve their own Identities. This results In a battle for supremacy, which forms the ever-changing drama that is our weather. The air from the polar regions Is cold, dry, heavy, and relatively cloudless. cloud-less. That from the tropical regions is warm, moist relatively light, and cloudy. At the line where they meet, the advancing tropical air, being warm, moist and therefore lighter, Is forced to ascend and flow northward north-ward over the wedge of cold air at the surface. This Is called the "warm front" The air as it rises Is cooled by expansion, and the moisture In It Is condensed Into clouds from which rain or snow may fall The amount and duration of this precipitation depend on several factors. Including wind direction, amount of moisture, slope of air wedges, and rapidity of warm air ascent Along the "cold front" the advancing advanc-ing polar, or cold, air forms a wedge or thrust under the warm air, and the precipitation Is squally, usually, however, covering only a comparatively compara-tively small area. Accompanying these precipitations are marked and sudden changes tn temperature and wind, followed by a more or loss steady state until the next meeting of conflicting air masses, when the drama Is re-enacted. Now Conquering Auto Ousts the Elephant now modern transportation Is advancing ad-vancing Into every part of the world, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, Is demonstrated in Ceylon, where the automobile Is challenging the elephant ele-phant Ceylon's known history be gins with the Sixth century before Christ. It Is a large Island lying 55 miles southeast of the extreme southern point of India in the Indian ocean. The native Inhabitants of Ceylon are the Slngalese, who are Buddhists, a gentle and peaceable people. The men have the custom of dressing somewhat like women. There are 600 miles of railroad and excellent auto mobile roads. Several thousands of elephants roam wild through the Island's forests, large numbers being tamed for duties as beasts of burden. For centuries the elephant has been the principal means of travel In the island, but the Introduction of the automobile, the truck and the filling station, that necessary aid to modern travel, Is fast relegating the elephant to a secondary place. Many elephants are still In service, of course, and the great beasts may be seen dally passing pass-ing gasoline stations located on motor mo-tor ronds. "Sausage Cases' in Use for Packing Ice Cream The difficulties of serving Ice cream cheaply and conveniently may be solved by packing the perlhable sub stance In sausage cases. Ice cream sausage has been found to save time and expense, while assuring perfect sanitary conditions. With the aid of a special filling machine the trans parent cases are tightly parked with ice cream by the simple expedient of turning a crank. The sausage con tainer may be used for all kinds of Ice cream, water Ices and frozen fruits. The new packing Idea has been demonstrated at the Leipzig fair, proving highly successful, la-stead la-stead of dishing out the Ice cream, the customer buys a foot or yard of Ice cream sausage. The Ice cream ' may be served In links of any desired de-sired thickness or length to suit the convenience of the denier or the ultimate ul-timate consumer. , t Or Something Lilt That If Adam had saved up five cent and had put It out to Interest at C per cent compounded quarterly, the money now would be enough to boy op all the property In the world unless un-less the bank closed up on tlm and they told him that the Interest bad eaten up the principal.
