no one had questioned him. But
Jack? Where was he? Busy with

"The jump has to be made in q
suit equipped with oxygen tanks
which will be strapped to the
jumpers legs and sides. This
equipment has to be tested in the
high altitude chamber of the
army, and every precaution must
be taken. The jumper has to have
an automatic parachute so it will
open in case he-it has to be he

tude. Then he'll drift downward for
half an hour"
"Is that all ?"
"All?" He smiled at her indul-
gently, as one would smile at q
sweet and pretty child who didn't
understand, and she flushed. Then
his eyes suddenly begged her par
don as he went on: Listen, my
sweet, there are ~ shroud cords

IT thought parachute jumping
meant bailing out, pulling a rip

rupted, amazed.
That's what most people be-
lieve, but it's really a science.
When you and a COW pasture meet
up, it's nice to know how to greet

conscious of every sensation-must
remember how he felt physically

Of his muscular coordination"
Sarah Anne raised her brown
eyes imploringly. That's enough.
I was having a moment of vicari-

He looked pleased. Then you

Forget it." He moved and his
pillow started to slip. Sarah Anne
grabbed it just as he did. For a
moment their eyes met and their
faces were near. Sarah Anne was
aware of a sudden bewilderment
in the mans eyes that afterward
she did not know how it had hap
pened, Bob's long, hard arms drew
down and his lips were firm, COM
manding, against hers. Just for a
second, a second so brief it al
most never happened.
So challenging was that impul-
sive kiss that it rent the girls con-
sciousness like ray Of clean,
bright lightning. For it wasn't
Bob's lips she felt. It was Jacks.
And in that moment she realized he
never had kissed her like this
never, never! He never had cared
very much.
And it was not strange to her
in that moment that it was Jacks
voice that spoke at the doorway as
she and Bob drew apart.

WE HAVE commented on the
great vacation migration in North
America, in which an estimated
35,0O0,OOO people take part. And we
observed that while this is primarily
done in the spirit of health, practi-
cally no discriminate planning for a
vacation is done from the medical
point of view or on medical advice
The average American does not
concern himself very much, in fact,
with improving his health once he
gets started on his vacation. The
typical situation is that of a travel
worn friend of mine who said,
"After I have been home about two
weeks I believe I'll be as rested as I
was when / went on my vacation"

ooh! HOW difficult it is to make
diagnosis of diseases of the chest!"
exclaimed physician of other days.
This was before the use of the
stethoscope or Of percussion, and
long before the days of the x-ray.
The X-ray in diseases of the chest is
SO revelatory that many physicians
now use it without the help of the
stethoscope at all.
The diagnosis of diseases of the
chest is, within limitations Of human
error, as nearly perfect as anything
of that kind could be.
The diagnosis of diseases of the
abdomen, however, is by no means
SO we'll perfected. Of course, it is a
regular procedure to take x-ray pic
