They Inform her that he has passed away, leaving her $428.85, a fac- tory, and a million cans of all- purpose Wondrosoap, his latest Invention on which he worked with chemist Hans Stadt, now in Texas, and in which he invested his savings. Refusing to liqui- date her holdings as the lawyers tdvise, and determined to carry through with the tale of a product In whcih her father apparently had faith, she contacts Ted An- drews through a want ad. He becomes sales manager of the Wondrosoap Company in ex- change for a fourth interest in it, U excited to find that it will clean II surfaces, including metal.

The first 1000 purchas- ers of this marvelous cleaner will raceive one can FREE. See previous WONDROSOAP ad* for list of dealers. On sale for first time TODAY! Ted Andrews clipped the ad- vertisement from the paper, past- ed it into a black notebook. "There yo-u are, little brainstorm. Last of a long line of brain-chil- dren. Now all you have to do is deliver." Across the desk, Kay looked up from her list of dealers. "You're not worried, are you, Ted?" she asked. "We've put out 10,000 cans of Wondrosoap. Burely we'll sell at least a thou- land. Maybe we'll sell all 10,- 100." "There are a thousand to be given away free," Ted reminded her. "Every person who gets a free one will sign for it. Then we'll pay them for testimonials, tfter we get started." "That's a swell scheme," she Mid, nodding her head. "Each dealer gives away one can to each of his first hundred purchasers," Ted went on. "We've 15 dealers ' signed up, grocery tores, drug stores, hardware itores, and one delicatessen. That's 1500 free cans if each one tells bin full quota." "They'll sell it. I've had five calls from dealers asking permis- sion to sell it before the release date," Ted told her. "And we'll keep our promise to give away 1000 fre cans. There's still plenty of soap in the warehouse 989,999 eana, to be exact," They laughed together over the figure. * * * Wondrosoap was a hit. Even Flynn, MacLeod and Goldberg had to admit it as they checked sales reports until late that night. Ev- ery dealer had sold his 100 free- fift customers and more, and one, the delicatessen, had sent a rush order for more stock. Ted figured slowly on a scratch pad. "We must have sold at least 8500 cans of Wondrosoap. That's |750 clear profit for us, less the ost of the 1500 cans we gave way. And wait until those deal- ers start reordering! You'll have the old factory boiling full speed ahead trying to keep up with the demand." "It's fine, Mies Donovan," Mac- Leod admitted. "I didn't think it ould be done. I'll admit I was wrong." "Me, too," Goldberg chimed in. "We should get out of the law- yer business and go into Wondro- oap." "Grand, girl!" Flynn's tear- moist eyes mirrored his pride in Kay's achievement. "Now you can start your state sales cam- paign, and ultimately go na- tional. The country Is needing cleaner like this. I'm going to *ke some home and try it on my left at last, offering to take Ted into town, but he f leaded, awkwardly, that he had iaore work to do, and that he didn't mind the walk or the b\M vide. > K*.v stood in tht moonlight al- ter the lawyer* had gone. The factory chimney* cn*t long ha- dows on the ground before her. The warehouse loomed black and bulky in the background. "You've won, Dad," she whis- pered. "You were right, and I've proved it. I'm so proud, proud to be Tim Donovan's daughter, proud to be the owner of Tim Donovan's factory " "I'm proud, too," a voice said beside her. "Proud to be part- ners with a wonderful girl." He took her in his arms and she did not push away. Ted's being there, in the moonlight with her, made everything perfect. She lifted her face. He kissed her, gently. She broke away from him be- fore he could kiss her again. "No more now," she said. "This is a business proposition. You're my partner, not my sweetheart. If we go falling in love, it will spoil everything. You can't mix busi- ness and romance." "I'm sorry. I couldn't " "Don't be sorry, Ted. I wanted you to kiss me then. I would have been disappointed if you hadn't. But right now we've got to nell Wondrosoap. When that warehouse is empty we'll talk moonlight, if you still want to. Is it a deal?" "It's a deal." He was gone then, walking slowly up the road to the bus stop, his broad shoulders lost at last in the shadows. Kay walked slowly into the office. Her lips still tingled from Ted's kiss. He had probably kissed hundreds of girls, and quickly forgotten them. Perhaps he would forget her, too. She wondered what he would think if she had told him that she, 23 years of age, had never been kissed before. Ted phoned early the next morning that he was sending Mary Marshall, a competent sec- retary, down for an interview. Mary should make an ideal com- panion for Kay, and she could help with the bookkeeping and office work.

ISSUE 28 '42 KING'S RING Broad smile and engagement ring worn by Princess Alexan- dra of Greece, visiting in Lon- don, signalizes engagement to young King Peter of Yugoslavia, now in U. S. living out at the factory, Mary would have to stay with her. Mary was all that Ted had promised and more. Kay liked her immediately. No two girls could have been less alike, and that was the basis of their friend- ship. Kay was quick-tempered, ither gay or in the depths. Mary was of a more even disposition, quiet, retiring. And Ted had told the truth when he called her a competent secretary. She took over management of Kay's affairs at once. "We'll have to change thia room around. How about moving the office into the plant? There's room in the laboratory, if it wen; partitioned off. Then thia could be our living quarters." Kay did not resent her sugges- tions. She had not liked the idea of having an office take up half her living room, nor did she enjoy cooking in the tiny kitchenet off the bedroom. Mary seemed to assume that managing Kay's hojsehold would be part of her job. They almost clashed once, but strangely, it was Kay who gave in. That was over her father's old, battered washstand. Mary wanted to get rid of it and Kay hated to part with anything that had belonged to her dad. She fin- ally agreed that it was an eye- sore, that it had no place in the room, but she felt a <|uecr pre- monition when a second-hand furniture dealer paid her a dollar and hauled it away. * * It was four days after Wondro- soap's introduction to the public that the trouble began. Ted was in the newly arranged office, filling orders. The tele- phone rang. Kay answered. "It's impossible!" she spoke into the phone. "I'll send Mr. An- drews over at once. Of course, we'll stand behind VVondrosoap. You can tell your customers that!" She slammed the phone down on the hook. "What is it, Kay?" Ted asked. "Druggist on Sant Fe Street Says a customer brought Wondro- soap back and demanded her money. She said she tried to clean a spot out of her husband's coat ami it ate a hole in the cloth." "I don't believe it." Ted flar- ed. "Wait until I see that wo- man." Kay frowned. "Wait a minute, Ted. We tried Wondrosoap on brass and on windows and china. Where's that handkerchief you used to clean the doorknob?" "I don't know. In the laundry, I suppose." "I think you dropped it in the plant; we were so excited that day." She hurried out to the ware- house. In a minute she was back. Ted read the answer in her face before she held up his handker- chief, well sprinkled with gaping- holes. "She was right, Ted. What are we going to do?" * * * The telephone really started 1 ringing then. From 10 a.m. until noon, Kay, then Ted, then Mary, took turns telling dealers that money would be refunded, that damages would be made good. The climax came when Mike Flynn drove up. "Come out here," he called, "I want you to see my car." Kay gasped as she caught sight of the Flynn coupe. Each fender gleamed in shining metallic lus- tre, without a spot of paint to mar its sheen. "I cleaned those fender* with Wondrosoap," Flynn said. "To- day I came out to get into the oax. Every bit of paint is gone disappeared completely. "Why didn't you test that stuff before you put it on the market? You'll have a thousand lawsuits on your hand* before the week ) over unless you get the stuff (Continued Next Week) House Flies And The Garbage Can Many Diseases are Carried by this Prolific Pst Now U the time to kill the house fly. One authority has es- timated that a pair of flies be- ginning operations in April may be the progenitors, if all were to live, of sufficient flies to cover the earth 47 feet deep by Aug- ust, says Stratford Beacon-Herald. One of the most prolific breed- ing places of the flies in cities is garbage. Fermenting and neg- lected garbage furnishes an ex- cellent medium for fly breeding. To prevent such breeding, every household should have a suffici- ent number of garbage cans to take care of the daily output. They should be tightly covered and at short intervals they should be thoroughly cleaned with hot water and lye, says G. Allan Mail, of the Dominion Entomological Laboratory, Kamloops, B.C. Instead of piling garbage in dumps where rats, flies and other insects multiply, municipalities should, of course, incinerate waste materials that have no sal- vage value. Heaps of decaying onions, other vegetables, grass clippings and fruits as well as decaying straw and weeds will also breed flies. Such breeding places should be sprayed with oil or burned. The chief importance of the house fly is as a carrier of dis- ease. Not only do its hairy legs pick up disease germs, but its filthy feeding habits result in contamination of everything it touches. Typhoid fever, eye dis- eases, parasitic worms, Summer complaint and tuberculosis are some of the diseases carried by house flies. The proper protection and dis- posal of garbage is a primary con- trol measure. All windows and doors should be screened. Fly traps, sticky papers and fly poi- sons all have their place. A very satisfactory poisoned bait is made of two or three teaspoonsful of formaldehyde to a pint of milk and water mixed half-and-half. A small piece of bread or a small sponge is placed on a saucer and saturated with a mixture, leaving a little liquid in the saucer. Ex- posed out of reach of children or pete, this bait will kill many flies. Present Was Put To Very Good Use Finance Minister J. L, llslej picked the following letter from Gordon Hammond, Kc.ssler, Alta., out of his voluminous mail bag, ua the one lie would remember when the task of financing Can. ada's war effort appeared temp- orarily UK too much of a burden: "The wife and I were so pleased to get your letter of appreciation for the money sent. Being a vet- tran of the last war and too old, and I lost my right eye twelve years ago, I yet felt I wanted to ilo something to help. I was so sorry I could not buy a $50 bond sometime back but I did noi thresh one bushel of grain last year on account of being dried out so you understand what a kick we got towards the end oi March when we were given a sur- prise silver wedding anniversary party and a 30 silver collection was handed to us. So we came to the conclusion this was much the best way to make use of this nice present." Hammond bought War Savings Certificates with his wedding an- niversary gift. Asks Non-Residents To Leave Hawaii Warning that the United States victory over the Japanese in the Battle of Midway "has given many people a false sense of security", Lieut.-Gen. Delos Kmmons last week urged all non-residents to leave the Hawaiian Islands as soon as possible. Although American air ftnd naval forces early this month routed the largest fleet Japan ever sent across the international dateline in what may have been an attempted invasion of the U.S. west coast, it is dangerous to as- sume the enemy will not return, said Gen. Emmons, commander of the Hawaiian Department, U.S. Army.

Firefighters Go To Help Britain First group of Canadian lire- fighters to volunteer for work in Britain sailed from an East Can- adian port on a rain-choked, blustery morning in June. Their safe arrival in Britain was an- nounced last week. Unlike the proverbial firemc'ii on a trip, these "knights of the hook and ladder" were s'tirprismg- ly quiet and reticent. They re- fused to divulge their names or any other information, saying it would have to come from Ottawa. About one hundred strong, they wore the blue dress uniform com- mon to firemen everywhere and on their shoulders red tabs that read "Firefighters for Britain". Officers were differentiated by silver braid on their peaked caps. They looked very business-likw as they filed aboard the trans- port, carrying their gear. Onu did go so far as to say he was "glad" to be g'oing overseas, while, another volnteereu the informa- tion that all were "pleased we are being allowed to do what we are trained to do".
