Smith flung himself masterfully at
the new difficulties as they arose. and
earned his need of praise from the
men for whom he oyercame them. But
under the surface current of the hurry

beginning to set in. He took his first
decided backward step on the night
when he went into hardware store

clothesbaskets full of lemons, all Of
which were fresh and hard. Submarine
activity was secuted as cause for the
