If the vocational training department
Of the veterans bureau advertised its
activities in the magazines as do v8rI.

Here's the story: Richard G. Quahl
of Peterson post, American Legion.
Minneapolis, Mimi, is veteran whom
the Germans picked on. In one year Of
service ten months were spent IN
France, and on two separate occasions
Quehl was "at home" for the reception
of steel acketed calling cards.

told him to go into the shop and Oh
serve things, so that he would know
the business from the ground up. Be
ing a spectator didn't appeal to Qu9hL
He put on pair Of overalls and went
TO work at the bench
His genius Immediately showed y

He sold the idea for $1,000 and royal

whats your opinion, Ned?" asked
Wintun, two or three evenings later.
Much had transpred during the brief
interval. The gangs of natives had ar
rived at the compound and started op-
erations. under the immediate charge
of Seaton, who had turned up sober at
the appointed time The old man
worked diligently and showed that he
knew his business. He had not touched
a drop OF liquor But Sheila had not
accompanied him to the cottage, and
Wlnton had asked no questions.
What surprised Winton was the fact
that the natives seemed TO regard old
Seaton with an exaggerated Difference
which they did not extend to him. Old
Seaton, staggering under his load OF
liquor, was very different from Seaton
standing erect In the center of the com
pound. shouting commands to his
obsequious workers, who flew to obey
him.
You couldn't have got better man
than old King Seaton, If he'll stay
sober" said Ned but it's hard on his
girl
why do you call him that?" asked
Wiuton, interruphng because he could
not endure any reference 10 Shella,

him with a sudden shock that Ned

was hopeful that the main pipe would

thing depended on its location. As the
Big Malopo was 10 the center Of the
fields, Winton shared Ned's enthusiasm.
The capital OF the claim had been
largely exhausted in the outlay for
machinery, construction material and
IabOrers. Davis had given Winton
