salary was raised to $25,000 a year which is the
same amount as the present presidential expense

I had sounded the horn just as
I made the turn in the long drive-

glimpse of * big white columns
through the trees. Now I pressed
down on it again, longer and with
more force. It seemed almost sac-
rilegious to rend the peaceful
stillness in such fashion. But noth-
ing happened.
The great white bulk of Wis-
teria Hall stood calm and inscru-
table in the December sunshine
and, as far as outward appear-
ances indicated, might not have
been disturbed since my grand-
mother’s death ten months before,
when I first came into possession
of the place.
No grinning black face appeared'
at the kitchen window or door. No
sign of Andrew, making a great
show of bustling down the steps
and calling back to his fat wife as
he came. Law, Bessie, here's Miss
Sally. Come on, let’s help her get
her things in the house.
- A little impatient at this lack of
response, for surely someone must
be about, I decided to leave my
bags and packages in the car to
be brought in later. Perhaps Bessie
and Andrew had gone over to Ros-
well for additional items which
might have been overlooked when
they brought out supplies the day
before. That would account for the

decided I would take the flowers
" into the house with me, as there
would just be time to arrange
them, check over the bedrooms and
dress before my husband and cur
guests began to arrive.
As I reached for the large flor-
ist’s box, I heard a sound near the
side of the house, as though some-
one had stumbled on the gravel
walk. I might not have noticed it
at all, except for the fact that I
had been so acutely aware of the
surrounding silence. Thinking that
perhaps it was Aunt Maggie, I
turned and walked over to where
I could see beyond the boxwood
hedge and into the front driveway.
Beyond the house and hurrying
as fast as he could go toward the
gate was a man. Although he was
now nearly the length of a city
block away, I was almost certain
that he was Kirk Pierce, who was
to be one of our guests that eve-
ning.
“Kirk!” I called. "Yoo-hoo-oo."
Did I imagine it, or did he real-
ly hesitate for a moment before
breaking into a run?
Dropping my box, I also began
to run; but he had disappeared
around the turn and was out of
the gate before I had covered "half

only two states when he ran against Wilson and
Theodore Roosevelt, Utah and Vermont. . . . Wil-

was the only one ever to take the oath of office
outside the United States and the onlv vice-presi-

later after returning to his Alabama plantation.

IT ALL TAKES TIME U
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION is really
I going places now that it is being given
the “green light" in our national defense
program. Its current activity stands in
market contrast to the period of four
months when political dalliers were sup-
posed to do their part of the job.
But, even as planes and tanks and the
rest of our armaments are beginning to roll
off the assembly lines, it is wise to remem-
ber again the tremendous task that faces
industry. The complexity attached to turn-
ing out a single finished piece of war equip-
ment is truly staggering. Naturally it
takes time for industry to do this work and
do it well. A few facts will give some indi-
cation of the problems involved:
There are about 78,000 rivets just in the
fuselage of a pursuit plane. !
There are 6,000 separate parts in an air-
plane engine, many of them of mrehan
hairbreadth precision.
In some cases, there are more than 500
subcontractors involved in the making of a
big plane.
The raw materials used in building a
heavy’ bomber come from 33 s t a t e s. It
takes from a year to a yer and a half
to build an airship of this type, at a cost
of about a million and a quarter dollars.
We’ll have adequate armaments and the
best of all types in the world, if industry is
given confidence and governmental coop-
eration. But let’s remember that industry,
unlike certain of its critics, isn’t accus-
tomed to promising that it cn produce
rabbits out of silk hats at a moment’s no-

By the time I reached the gate,
there was no car anywhere in

there was the unmistakable odor
of gasoline. And on the fresh red
earth, where a section of our pri-

that a car had turned in from the

This private road extends be-
yond our gate for nearly a mile

country road leading to the con-

or so distant. It seemed unlikely
that the intruder had made a mis-
