In the face of the gathering edi-torial clouds, the new girl bravely continued with her request and be-gan to fumble with a gold locket which was looped around her neck. "The picture I have from Jerry " she offered but got no further. The thunder broke loose and Dris-lan- e hissed, his face purple, "On a newspaper, a woman" he didn't finish but resignedly collapsed in his chair. With effort he continued feebly, "Miss Whatever-your-name-i- go get a manicure get a cup of coffee escape from the United States Mar-shal's office In 1943, was recog-nized by the reporter as she walked through the barber shop to the beau-ty salon at the rear of the building. Miss Hewes, upon seeing Salustri, continued through the shop and left by a rear exit and soon returned with a squad of police officers. "The reporter said that she had identified the gangster through his picture which she had carried in a gold locket given to her by her fiance, Jerry Cowan, formerly po-lice reporter on The Herald and now on assignment in the South Pacific. " 'Having threatened the life of my fiance, Salustri was a potential The managing editor's head was poked under his desk in search of his lost cigarette when a pair of shapely legs approached. PO, SALUSTRI is back," Man-- ; J aging Editor Pepper Drislane ' ' exclaimed as he clicked down the receiver. Excitedly, Police Chief Lawton had just shouted into the . telephone, "This guy is looking for . ' blood don't take any unnecessary risks." In the editorial room of the Hart-- l field Herald, Drislane sat with his head in his hands and mournfully looked over his city staff two old men and seven girls. "Thirty years in newspapers and this has to hap- - pen to me a chance to make head-- "Jne history and here I am saddled with a bunch of sob sisters." The Salustri case had been spec tacular from the start. The self-- ; styled big shot of the numbers 1' racket had challenged repeatedly: "There ain't nobody going to pin e rap on me. This gazabo's got protection all the way to the state ,! house and back and don't forget '!.: it." But Jerry Cowan, erstwhile re-- portorial star of the Herald, and ! Managing Editor Drislane chose to ( forget it to the tune of pinning a federal sentence on the num-bers king. Then the slipup; while waiting for the train that would carry him to prison, Salustri out- - , witted the guards, slugged the mar- - i' shal and was on his way. ;! With the news of his escape, Jerry and Drislane knew Salustri would 'j be back. The Herald's constant and merciless headlines had galled the gangster, bored right into his pride. ! "Sure, he'll be back," the re- - porter told his editor, "and when he does, he'll head for our office first." That was two years ago. Now Jer-- ry was on assignment in the Pacific. Meanwhile, the managing editor waited. Of course, he was jumpy; who wouldn't be when each comer i might turn into a hail of hot lead? And now the chief of police had ' passed the word that Salustri had ' been spotted in Bayside, just 11 miles this side of Hartfleld. ; The managing editor was dismal ly fingering the last cigarette in his squashed pack when Publisher Jim Geldhorn came into the room. Drislane blinked his eyes and drop-ped the cigarette doggone, if it wasn't another girl. Attractive and well built, but still another girl. j Geldhorn hustled the young wom- - ii r an over to an empty desk and hur- - riedly left. "On a newspaper a girl reporter Isn't worth the powder it takes to ' ' to camouflage her nose," Drislane had exploded when the publisher ' unobtrusively attempted to install i th last girl on the city staff, j "All I hear these days is 'I've got an appointment with the hair-- i dresser, the dressmaker, the butch- - er, the baker .' These girls have ' an appoinment with everyone but i ' me and their work," he ranted. "Is this a newspaper office or a sorority i house?" 1f "Chief," said thin-pate- flftyish 'I Mike Bales, the paper's only bache- - 1 lor, coming up to the managing edi- - ' tor's desk, "I'm going to hop down j to Nick's for a shave." Generally Mike shaved every second day and today was a first. : "Darn," muttered Drislane, "we're off again and it'll take an-- 'i other three weeks to see who is really queen bee of this hive." 1: The managing editor's head was 1 poked under his desk in search of . his lost cigarette when a pair of shapely legs approached.

'Now that he is captured, I know that I can plan to marry Jerry as soon as he re-turns.' " Speechless, the managing editor scanned the copy. Then, poising his pencil, he added to the message: " 'In the meantime, I will continue working at The Herald as police reporter.' " get anything. But for right now, just get." As the girl hastily traced Mike Bales' rapidly retreating footsteps, Drislane sighed, "Even Jerry Cowan away out in the Pacific is getting balmy. On top of all this, imagine his wanting to saddle me with his fiancee, some jane who probably doesn't know a dateline from a clothesline." Gleefully, he pictured himself setting up ambush for the next time the publisher came in with another girl. After an hour of planting imagin-ary booby traps all over the news-paper plant, the managing editor had mentally destroyed the pub-lisher and all the girls on the staff a dozen times over. Just when he was halfway through his master-piece of stuffing Geldhorn and the girls through the news press to be delivered as supplements to the 5 o'clock edition, Mike Bales with a face full of lather tore into the room. "Chief, Chief," the reporter panted, "they just got him." "Just got who when where?" Drislane roared. "Salustri, at the barber shop," said Mike, furiously shoving a piece of copy paper into his typewriter. "I'll have the story written for the last edition in a jiffy." DOWNSTAIRS the presses were as the man-aging editor's pencil poised over the reporter's scoop. "Nat Salustri, former numbers czar who escaped local police two years ago, today was captured in Nick's barber and beauty shop on Main Street through the efforts of Miss Loretta Hewes, a member of The Herald's editorial staff," the story read.

Each subsequent rising takes less time. Rising may be hastened by using more yeast. However, not more than two cakes of yeast should be used in the average recipe for fear at giving too much yeast flavor. aamaaaaaaHawnifpMMBSammaBaasssBaaawpaiBBsBS Sugar is yeast food and it also gives flavor to bread. Too large amounts retard the yeast growth. Sour, heavy bread is caused by too high temperature during the ris-ing time. Crisp crusts on bread are made by brushing the top with slightly beaten egg white 10 minutes before the baking. This also win give a browner crest Soft crusts can be achieved by brushing with melted fat just before baklne. Yucca Moth and Lily Examples of Cooperation The yucca moth and the yucca lily are excellent examples of co-operation in nature. The yucca moth visits no other plant than the yucca lily and the yucca lily is visited by no other insect than the yucca moth. The female moth visits the lily for the purpose of laying her eggs. In return for this privilege the moth carries pollen from one yuc-ca lily to another. By doing this the moth makes it possible for the yucca lily to produce seeds.

Melton (Caxton Printers .... $4) By Lyn Connelly. Here at last is an intelligently written book for adolescent boys, one of the best of its kind since the immortal Mark Twain penned that perennial favorite, "Tom Sawyer." Tom Briggs is essentially a good boy, but because he takes precious time away from his daily chores to swim with his chum, Johnny San-ders, and because he dreams con-stantly of the day when he might be a towboat pilot on the mighty Gasconade river, he is considered lazy and shiftless by his cruel step-father and many of the town citi-zens. You'll share Tom's frustration when, after he works hard to buy himself a small boat so that he can fish to support his family, his step-father sells the boat and pockets the money. You'll share his horror when his hunting rifle goes oft acci-dentally in the post office and he is accused by Mr. Pugh, the postmas-ter, of having deliberately attempt-ed to kill him. Despite his many handicaps, Tom proves through sheer perseverance and courage that he is. capable of being a towboat captain. The story carries him from the age of 12 when he is in the dream stage, through the age of 21, when he makes his first cruise as a pilot. But long be-fore the realization of his ambition, he earns the respect of his neigh-bors when he clears Mr. Pugh of a possible murder charge of which only Tom knows he is innocent, thus proving that he holds no malice in his heart for the postmaster who would have sent Tom to a juvenile home when he, too, was wrongly accused of a crime. The book is a joy for those loving the great outdoors. Mr. Melton, a prominent Missouri newspaper man, knows his subject well and handles it beautifully with the result that there emerges a book full of tears and joy, tenderness and adventure. j ' y GraceNoUCiNfWell j.1 T7MTH takes on the look of silver things: rfytlNl Ivi shunmering path at night across lfI8i ilii jr Vgrjr-- Th points of stars, the silver tips of wings, nS The white, still luminosity i ' 5jiHEV 1 gabled rooftops when the moon shines P IJlc streeti of town Ee. 1 Faith it a silvered brightness in the soul: y 5iz2-- l- shaft set there to point the way to heaven, Ss J ' t. gfz'-r- V ,7 And carved upon it is a lettered scroll, li j a, -- 33 Its words miraculously given " iv irS.-- ft To guide the traveler on his shining way J q S3t Upon the road today. j i pi help me keep my faith undimraed by j New Uranium Discoveries Show Wide Distribution The world is expanding its known sources of uranium, vital mineral of the Atomic Age. Both newly - independent Burma and the Union of South Africa have announced the discovery of exten-sive uranium deposits, National Geographic society notes. These lat-est finds are further evidence that the atomic-energ- y ore is much more widely distributed around the globe than popularly believed. Prospecting for uranium lodes is much simpler than searching for gold. The uranium can be detected easily by a scientific "divining rod." Radioactive by nature, the mineral literally broadcasts its whereabouts in the ground. Forty years ago Hans Geiger, a German scientist, invented the instrument which hunts out the hidden ore. |
