Eleanor Roc-welt
I started one day with a com*
mittee meeting at nine o'clock, at
which all the government agencies
met to And way* in which they could
co-operate.
From there, I went to a meeting
•of tne District of Columbia social
agencies. They have gathered a
group of volunteers who have been
taking a course in an effort to pre-
pare themselves for work which
■would necessitate a knowledge of
all the available resources in the
•community. This kind of knowledge
is valuable, and I think it is a good
preparation for the type of activity
which defense work asks of us all.
There was a time when many
people thought that the word defense
meant simply physical protection.
This ceotd be given by the army,
navy and air force, plus the police
and Are departments. Even the air
raid warden, who became a recog-
nised person in defense through our
knowledge of what had happened in
England, was looked upon primar-
ily as a person who would see that
lights were out and people were
notiAed where Ares were to be ex-
tinguished.
Now it is understood at last, that
real defense begins in every home.
The insecure home is a menace to
the security of the community.
Therefore, the air raid warden, who
knows every family in his or her
area, must know upon what agen:
cies to call to meet the needs of
each and every person in it who is
not able to meet them himself. The
job is not just policing, it is social
service as well.
I am told that some people have
an idea that this has nothing to do
with defense. They say it is really
ohly a way of putting over on an
unsuspecting community, in the
guise of defense, some of the very
bad things which go by the name
of "New Deal Measures.” These
people, I am afraid, are putting the
cart before the horse.
If there had never been a New
Deal, we would have had to accept
this conception of defense. We have
learned from London that it is in-
secure to rush in large numbers to
congregate together in air raid shel-
ters. They must be given security
or their fears run riot.

TWO WAT PASSAGE
During the trip to the West coast
1 read Louis Adamic's book, "Two
Way Passage." It is a book that
every American should read. I have
not quite Anished it, so I cannot real-
ly discuss it, but it has started a
trend of thought which is pointed up
by the situation on the West coast
for the American-born Japanese.
We know that there are German
and Italian agents and people repre-
senting other sympathetic Axis na-
tionalities who have been very ac-
tive in this country during the past
few years, just as the Communists
have been. We know that now there
are Japanese as well as other
agents, who are here to be helpful
to their own nation and not to ours.
But these people are gradually be-
ing rounded up by the FBI and the
Secret Service.
We, as citizens, if we hear any-
thing suspicious, will report it to the
proper authorities. But the great
mass of our people, stemming from
these various national ties, must not
feel that they have suddenly ceased
to be Americans.

DEFENSE GROUPS
CO-OPERATIVE
On returning to Washington I
called Mrs. Morgenthau and some
of her assistants in the Office of
Civilian Defense, to learn what had
happened while Mayor LaGuardia
and I were on the West coast.
Then I considered some of the dif-
ficulties now arising. There have
been conAicting directions as to
what people should do in case of air
raids. The reason is that there are
quite a number of people, who have
no official sanction whatsoever, giv-
ing advice and directions about a
number of things.
In addition, there has been con-
flict in the minds of the people actu-
ally in charge of developing pro-
grams. However, much of the con-
fusion is being cleared up, as it al-
ways is. Actual experience cm the
> West coast has helped.
War Impetus.
Up to the wars beginning it was
almost Impossible to accomplish
any real work with state and local
defense councils, which were often
nonexistent or existent only on pa-
per. Frequently, people who want-
ed work were given no money by
state or local governments with
which to do so. Volunteers did not
materialize in such great number*
until a real war was upon us. Now
there Is cooperation everywhere.
Even with that co-operation, it is
going to, be, necessary to work out
certain plans in the light of experi-
ence. No ooa should be surprised
if there is a certain amount of
change that develops in the handling
of different situations. The organi-
sation for actual defease, even
where civilians are concerned, is
primarily under army control. How-
ever, in many cases, the welfare of
the people of the community, which
is else part of defense, to closely
tied up with the actual protective or-
gaaaattoB.

THE STOST SO FAB: Urry Cetfor

Larry rose without a word, and
Jacqueline did likewise. She remem-
bered the order and allowed the
flashlight te hang limply in her
band, making a pool of light on the
floor in which she and Larry stood.
Trapped.
"Now then, Mim,” directed the
voice, "throw that package on the
floor . . . over this way. No foolin’.
Pitch it!”
Before she could comply, she was
conscious of a lightning-like move
by Larry. The torch was knocked
from her hand She heard its shat-
tering crash on the floor and the
room was in darkness. She knew
instinctively that Larry had hurled
himself in the direction of that voice.
There was a red stab of flame.
A report that almost stunned her
with its intensity.
Too frightened to cry out, she lis-
tened. There was the sound of scuf-
fling steps, the writhing of bodies. A
vile epithet. Men panting. Then
Larry's breathless:
“Jack! Run!”
Blindly she groped her way to the
door, found it, waited. She could
not leave Larry. She must do some-
thing!
Before she could collect her wits,
she heard a peculiar impact. The
sound of a body falling. She gave
a scream of fright when she felt a
hand clutch her. Then Larry’s re-
assuring:
“All right, dear. Hurry. Got that
package?”
“Oh, yes!”
“Fine!” He was almost dragging
her. Up the steps, across the clear-
ing, plunging recklessly through the
brush, along the fence.
"Larry!" she called breathlessly
over her shoulder. "Are you all
right?"
“Sure."
Now they were in the car and
Larry was backing it slowly into the
main road. This time, he did not
turn on the lights but drove swiftly
through the darkness. At the first
turn, he peered through the back
curtain.
"Look!” he called excitedly. “We
didn't have much time to spare!”
Jacqueline saw the lights of a car
topping the distant hill behind them.
“You mean . . .?" ahe asked
fearfully.
"That guy had some sort of alarm
rigged up. He was watching us all
the time from the old vegetable
room. That's his boas coming." He
broke off with a laugh. "I think
he'll have to do time first-aid stuff
before he gets a report."
Jacqueline's hand came out to find
Larry's. She could see it resting
on his knee.
"Do you know . . . Oh, Larry,
darling! You’re hurt!”
Jacqueline's cry burst out at the
touch of Larry’s fingers. They were
sticky, wet.
“It’s nothing,” he assured her
quickly. “Just a touch in the shoul-
der. I think it's almost quit bleed-
ing .. . just messy.”
"Larry, atop the car! Let me see
it!"
“I’d rather not, dear. I’m mak-
ing out all right. I want you to get
home ... Vince will help me out.”
"Stop just a minute," she insist-
ed. “Turn on that little light. I
don't care if they do catch up to us.
Nothing matters ..."
She was so insistent that he pulled
over to the side of the road and
stopped. He slipped his coat from
his shoulder with Jacqueline’s help;
then she loosened his tie and openad
bis shirt.
"There’s a handkerchief in my
breast pocket," he told her. “Fold
it into a pad and we'U try to tie it
in place with my other handker-
chief." His Angers were exploring.
“Just below the top of my shoul-
der, as I thought. Ploughed the
muscle. There. Slip the other hand-
kerchief through and tie it . . . like
that. Any sort of knot.”
"Are you sure you can drive, Lar-
ry? I can steer, if you'll do the other
things.”
"No, indeed. I'm a famous one-
arm driver. Let’s go.”
"Don't talk. dear. Save all your
strength.”
"Of course I'll talk. I want to
get some things out of my shat-
tered system. Don't know when I’ll
be seeing you . .
"Everything can wait now, Lar-
ry."
“I don't want It to. You’ve been
such a . . . trump. I think you’ve
guessed a good deal about tonight.
This will be sketchy. My father
spent yean in perfecting a manu-
facturing proems . . . rather tech-
nical, but it had to do with textile*.
Quite revolutionary. Like most in-
ventors, he wasn’t much of a busi-
ness man. Impractical.”
“I know,” Jacqueline helped. She
was thinking of Vince.
"WML to make a long story short,
oe took in a partner. A stock com-
pany was formed and a factory
started down East. This partner at-
tended to aU the details, but most
of the stock was unloaded on Dad's
friends. He was well known and
well liked. As H always happens, a
lot of that Mock was held by people

who put most of their savings into
it”
"I know,” Jacqueline said again.
This time, she was thinking of
Vince's daughter.
“I was out of school when the
crash came,” Larry went on. "Dad
had always been rather lavish with
money as far as I was concerned,
and I never bothered my hesd where
it came from. I was down in South
America. Got the idea that I was
going to make a big hit on my
own, like a Richard Harding Davis
hero.
"Here's what happened, as nearly
as I could piece it together and from
what Mother told me after I got
back. She didn't live so very long
after the old gentleman . . . died."
"You told me that. Are you all
right, Larry?"
"I'm making out. The process
proved a failure. The company went

his father are going to handle it. If
it takes everything we have ...”
Larry ended his sentence abruptly
and leaned back wearily.
"Oh, what is it!” Jacqueline
clutched at his arm. “You've tried
to talk too much. Are you faint,
dear?”
"Just a bit woozy."
“Can you make it?”
“Of course. I’ll get you home . . .
get Vince. Must get that book tc
Rannie . he's waiting.”
“Don’t talk. dear. Just drive.”
It seemed hours to Jacqueline be-
fore the roadster came to a stop in
Courtland street. She flew into the
house where she found Vince, wild-
eyed and pacing restlessly up and
down her living room.
"Skipper!” he cried anxiously
"Where in the world
"Don't wait to talk. Vince,” she
panted. “Larry is out in the car.
He's hurt. Help me bring him in!”
“I’ve got to get that book to Ran- I
nie," Larry groaned. "He’s waiting !
up for me.”
“Vince can take it to him. Come !
now. I’ll help, too.”
And in spite of himself, Larry waa j
escorted into the apartment.
"Cut that package open and let
me see those books," he ordered. ;
“All right," was his comment, aft- j
er he had leaied through a few i
pages. "Vince. You know where |
Adaman Club Greets
New Year on Summit
Of Lofty Pikes Peak
While fnost people will be cele-
brating New Year's in comfortably
warm homes, theaters and other
amusement places, a small group of
men will be battling bitter cold and
high snow drifts as they climb to the
top of Pikes peak.
Every year at the stroke of mid-
night on New Year's eve members
of the Aden)an club set off a huge
display of fireworks from the sum-
mit of Pikes peak. The mercury
has fallen as low at 40 decrees be-
low zero during the nine-mile climb,
and the wind blows relentlessly atop
the 14,110-foot peak.
Early in the afternoon of Decem-
ber II the hardy group will leave
Colorado Springs. They wtii ride m
automobiles as far as Mamtou
Springs which is located at the base
of the peak. Their ride ends here,
and they begin their long climb.
At first the. climb is easy, but
after the Half Way House is passed
the climbing becomes extremely dif-
ficult. Snow drifts are more than
20 feet deep in places, and the in-
cessant north wind whips the snow
particles with great force.
In addition to a food supply, each
man carries his share of the fire-
works. The trip is a gruelling test
of endurance and strength. But the
men really enjoy it.
She gave a scream of fright.
and ... I guess he couldn’t stand
that. Sensitive ..."
"I understand.”
"Later, 1 found out through a
friend of my father's u> the textile
business that another concern waa
using a process similar to Dad’s.
For some unknown reason, he never
had patented it. Somebody else did.
I didn't have the money to do any
investigating, but I did find out that
his former partner was the princi-
pal stockholder in the new firm. And
that they were making money hand
over fist.”
"What a shampl It was the same
as stealing it!”
"You telling me? I didn't mind
the money, but I swore, if 1 ever
had a chance, I'd see to it that my
father's name was cleared. If the
package we got tonight is what 1
think it is . . . it’s all we need.”
"Do you want to tell me what it
is?"
“Of course. My father had a pre-
cise way of recording all his experi-
ments. He never destroyed any cal-
culations or results ... put them
ail in a memorandum book, or
books. Written so fine that you
could hardly read them. Mother told
me that he always kept the prac-
tice up and cached them where they
were safe from fire. I knew where
that was, or thought 1 did.”
"Under the hearth."
“Exactly. And 1 grew more sus-
picious when I learned that this oth-
er fellow bad bought our old place
and was camping dose by. The fact
that our house was empty . . . Well,
it gave me a hunch. Maybe this
guy knew of those records. He
couldn’t And them, but he wasn't go-
ing to take a chance of some tenant
fixing up the place and stumbling
on them. If he were playing such a
game, the stakes were so high that
he wouldn't stop at anything to win.
Guess that sounds rather fantastic.
If took me a long time to figure it
out."
Tm surprised you didn’t try to
get them sooner.”
"There waa a catch there. If
anything toent wrong, 1 wanted to
be in a position to fight. The other
fellow had influence and money.”
"But, Larry . . . there's one thing
1 can’t understand. If your father
had those records, couldn’t he have
cleared himself and not . . ." She
couldn't quite bring herself to say
the words.
"That's something that probably
will never be explained He may
have been so crushed that it drove
him to kill himself rather than be
humiliated to court. On the other
hand. I'm suspicious that he never
had the chance."
"You don't mean . . . 7"
"Yea, I do," was foe grim re-
sponse. "1 don't suppose I could
ever prove that But I cint get
away from it The whole thing was
up too quickly. I hope it’s
Hicks lives?”
“Sure.”
“Take those books to Rannie.
Don't let anything stop you. Then
wait there for me. You won’t fai1
me, will you, old man?”
"No chance. Shall 1 take the
car?"
“Leave it for me. 1 don't want
to call a cab here. It's pretty dark
yet and I don't think anybody'll spot
the bus out front. Just as soon as
Jack ties me up . . ." He mus-
tered one of his old-time grins.
"Pardon me. Vince, this is my wife
. . , Mrs. Cutter.”
“Gimme those books,” Vince said
gruffly. “You’re both of you crazy."
By the time Larry had eased him-
self painfully out of his coat, Jac-
queline was at his side with a basin
of hot water and clean clothes.
"Cut the shirt, while I take It easy
a minute." Larry suggested. He
leaned back with hit eyes closed.
"It’s a load off my mind to get
those books away. They’ve got
datea and everything in them. It
ought to be clear sailing tor us
now."
“Don't talk."
“1 like to talk to you. Then I’m
sure you're here and I'm not dream-
ing. Don't happen to have a drink,
do you?”
"No. I'm sorry. I’ll make you
some black coffee in a minute. Does
that feel more comfortable now?"
“I’ll say. You're a regular lit-
tle campaigner. Jack. You must be
dead for sleep.”
"If you weren’t hurt, I’d say it
was the nicest and most exciting
time I ever had," she told him
lightly. "Now for coffee.” How
strange to be tending Larry this
way, and how—wonderful!
After sipping his coffee, Larry re-
laxed again and Jacqueline insisted
he must rest a few moments long-
er. She promised to sit close be-
side him. And he might hold her
band, too.
1). S. Had Quiet
Year During ’42
No one knows what the year 1943
will bring, but '42 exactly 100 years
ago was a relatively quiet one for
the United States.
In that year the national debt
reached the high level of more than
113,594,000. La grippe (influenza)
was prevalent throughout the coun-
try. This year also saw Charles
Dickens visit the United States, and
the Horatio Greenough statue of
General George Washington was
placed in the federal Capitol.
Other events of national impor-
tance which occurred exactly one
century ago follow:
March 31-Henry Clay of Ken-
tucky resigns from the U. S. senate.
May J—Col. John C. Fremont
commenced an exploring expedition
to the Rocky mountains.
June 29-President Tyler vetoes
the tariff bill.
August 9— Maine boundary estab-
lished by the Webster-Ashbum
treaty between the United States
and England.
August 30-President Tyler signs
the tariff bill.
September 29—Order of the Sons
of Temperance organized to New
York.
CHAPTER XIV
The next thing Jacqueline remem-
bered was hearing a sharp rapping
on the apartment door. She sat up
with a start, to find Larry on one el-
bow and staring about in a confused
fashion.
“It's only somebody in the house,"
she whispered.
"Why. Jack, you've let me sleep.”
Larry was beginning uneasily, when
hie words were cut short by an-
other rap.
"Open up," said a quiet voice.
Larry motioned to his wife to go
to the door. She opened it, stepped
back with a faint exclamation of
dismay.
Standing there was Lieutenant
Frank Staples And peering sharp-
ly aver hit shoulder . .
Old Martin Jacobs, who sold her
the Southern Furnace stock.
"Good morning. Miss Anthony,”
was Staples’ bland greeting. “Sorry
to bother you so early, but we'd like
to talk a minute . . . Oh, you have
company! How are you, Mr. Cut-
ter’"
He entered the room with Jacobs
at hit heels.
Larry lay back ou hia pillow and
stared belligerently at Jacob*, who
was eyeing him with -cold interest
Jacqueline felt suddenly faint
All this was her fault She most
have slept! She glanced at bar dock
mechanically.
After eight!
Jacobs was the first to break 0m
silence. He pointed at Larry with
his Mick.
"There's your man. Lieutenant
Take him into custody. 1 will ap-
pear against tom.”

Columbus Achieved
‘Greatest Discovery*
Just 450 Years Ago
The year 1942 would ordinarily be
one marked by a great observance
of some sort for the achievement of
Christopher Columbus in 1492. For
1942 rounds out 450 years since the
discovery 0f America.
In 1892. on the occasion of the
foir hundredth anniversary, the
Chicago fair, one of the most re-
nowned in the world, took place.
But for World War II, 1942 would
have brought about another signif-
icant qplebration.
Even as it ia. there is some talk
of baying due honor to the great
navigator who. in 1492 like the
woi !d we knew in the dawn of 1942,
also had his "darkest hour" before
the light burst on a new world.
J< aquin Miller wrote of thia hour
in Columbus' life-and it could be
iymbolic of the arrival and hopes
of the year 1942. The poetry fol-
lows:

DIAMOND BEAD AS GOOD
AS GIBRALTAR
SEVERAL YEARS ego I sat with
Captain Wilson on the veranda of
his home, looking over the placid
waters of Pearl Harbor near Hono-
lulu. The harbor to but a salt wa-
ter lake opening into the island of
Oahu from the Pacific. It was origi-
nally not much more than a marsh
that had been dredged to a depth of
some 60 feet in places. It to a lake
of many arms and bays, with suf-
ficient anchorage room tc accoxr.
modate all of the American nary.
On the far side, across from toe
homes of the naval officers, is the
club house of toe Honolulu Yacht
club, and the landing place of the
Pacific clipper planes. Near the
center to an island on which to lo-
cated the naval air field.
There was no war, or thought of
war when I sat there with Captain
Wilson. There was not even an ap-
pearance «f any preparation for
war. On the far shore a clipper
plane, in from Manila, rode at an-
chor and was being loaded with
mail for San Francisco. In that
same arm several small tail boats
were engaged in a race. In an-
other arm a battleship and cruiser
were anchored, and near them were
two or three destroyers. No one of
these fighting ships offered any evi-
dence of being ready for sea. They
did not mar in any way the peace-
ful appearance of the scene.
"This does not look like the im-
pregnable fortress I had expected to
see," I said to Captain Wilson.
"It was not intended that all the
defense preparations should be in
sight, but an enemy would find them
here," was his simple reply He
did not tell me more, and should n»l
have done so, but while in the
[ islands, 1 learned a little of what
these preparations were. No effort
was made to cover up that entire
division of American soldiers at
Schofield field, the army headquar-
ters in Hawaii, and as fine • divi-
sion of fighting men as one could
find in any man’s army. Officers of
the army, quite properly, would not
permit me s view inside of Diamond
Head crater, a veritable moun-
tain fortress. I know it is lit-
erally filled with great guas, each
capable of throwing 1,900 pounds of
steel for a distance of more than 20
miles. In the subterranean pas-
sages of that fortress are stored suf-
ficient munitions, food, water, medi-
cines and other materials to last for
more than a year. Diamond Head to
not a second, but a first Gibraltar.
Along the shores of Oahu are
other great guns, on# of them with-
in a block of the Royal Hawaiian
hotel at Waikiki beach, and another
beside the Honolulu harbor.
At Pearl Harbor there were vast
quantities of storage facilities tor
oil, gasoline and naval munitions.
There were dry docks and repair
shops, everything to complete the
most formidable naval base in the
world. Into it the government,
through the years since the annexa-
tion of the islands, has poured some-
thing near like a billion dollars. Now
it is worth all of that, and more. It
insures the safety from serious at-
tack of our western mainland
coast.
1 saw Pearl Harbor and the for-
tifications in peace time. It to a
different picture now. The big guns,
the warships and the airplanes are
; doing the job they were put there
to do. The place of Hawaii in our
defease will advance its claim for
statehood as the forty-ninth state.

I WAS IN EUROPE in IMS. and
for a short time in that section of
Belgium retaken from the Germans
just before the end of the Aar On
my return, a Belgium acquaintance,
who operated a chain of foundries
in Chicago, called on me to team
of what 1 had seen in hfo native
country. During hit visit toe sub-
ject of toe new attitude of labor was
