What’s happened?” “Anerythropsia is the word,” Jimmy 'said morosely, sitting down beside her. “Means color blind to red. Chief Hanson just told me why they rejected my application for that spot on the police force.** “Oh,” she said, and Jimmy could see she was taking tb* news even harder than he had hoped she would. “I’d counted so much on your getting that job, Jimmy. It would’ve been so much more glamorous and heroic than clerk ing in an old hardware store.*’ Jimmy flushed. “Clerking isn’t such a bad job, Kathy. Besides I’ll probably get a raise after the first of the year and we—** “Yes, I know. And it’s safe,** Kathy said wistfully. “But I’ve al ways wanted to feel that my hus band was a hero.”- Kathy had finished her soda when a heavy-set man with a dark mustache entered the store. His right arm was suspended in a sling. Kathy glanced at the man and back to Jimmy. “I’m going to give you a little test of my own,” she said, smiling. “What color is that man’s hair?” Jimmy studied the man. “Isn’t slate gray, is it?” “No, stupid, it’s red,” Kathy laughed. “A rather peculiar red, almost too dark for his pale com plexion.’’ Jimmy laughed. “Now you’re playing detective. I think that’s why you wanted me to get that job on the force, so you could play detective.” The stranger turned and stared in their direction. Kathy lowered her voice. “No, but I’ve studied cosmetology and know something of hair shades.” “Is his mustache the same color as his hair?” Jimmy asked. “Looks darker to me.” - “It’s red, too. Almost the same {hade.” Kathy took her compact frorh her bag and powdered her nose. “Really, Jimmy, don’t they look the same to you?” “No, they’re distinctly different,” Jimmy replied. “Perhaps, he’s wearing a wig and a false mustache, and they don’t match,” Kathy said jokingly. “Very likely,” Jimmy grinned. Kathy clapped her 1 hands excited ly. “Beally! That gives me an idea. Here, Jimmy, read the paper while I make a phone calL* She shoved ffie morning paper across the table toward the surprised Jimmy and darted away. A news story on the front page caught his eye. It told about a drug store holdup in the nearby town of Carter’s Junction. A stocky man, carrying a gun concealed in a sling on his right arm, had held up the druggist and escaped with a supply of - narcotics. Jimmy glanced from the paper to the man standing in front of the pre scription counter. Sliding noiselessly from his seat, Jimmy moved quietly toward the stranger. In spite of his caution, he brushed against a toothpaste exhibit, causing the display to clatter to the floor. With a startled exclamation, the man spun around, and Jimmy could see the automatic pointing at him from the arm-sling. ^ “Easy, big boy,** the man warned. Jimmy ducked and made a flying tackle. There was a blind ing flash as the gun roared. The bullet zipped by Jimmy’s head. Then Jimmy and the gunman were struggling on the floor, Jim my clawing desperately for the gun. They were still locked in the deadly struggle when Chief Han son and one of his men dashed in to the store. “I called them on a hunch, when you insisted this fellow’s mustache and hair were different in color,” Kathy told Jimmy, after the hand cuffs had clicked on the gunman’s wrists. “But, Jimmy, I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want you to be a policeman after all It’s too dan gerous.” Day by presenting a skit en titled “League with a Spanish Accent,” at the 11:15 A.M. Ser vice, Sunday, January 30.

From birth to age 18. After that our children move out into the influences of a world for which we have tried to prepare them. 1 All we would do to justify their faith in us, and our hope for them, must be done while they need us. If we fail them once, we cannot go back again into their lives at that point to repair the damage. The cost today of rearing a child from birth to age 18 m $11,641 in the average income family—$53.89 a month. What the mother contributes N ^ * • to the home in labor and management is not included. • \ i * How much would it cost if the father had to hire someone to do for his * children all the mother does, in case of her death? How much time could a mother devote to her children if she had to earn her living and theirs, if their father died prematurely? A SAVINGS ACCOUNT can’t replace parents. But it does help either one of them, alone, 16 do the job of both. OPEN ONE TODAY. I > * ^ i * • • .
