that, wherever he was, he was looking us over
carefully through his Leaderscope.

That meant that the Leader was talking only

work." said the Leader Il have inspected you.
You will do Glory"
The Leaderprojector f1ickered off, and the
Head Leadersnan talked for few minutes in
his private Leaderscope. He looked terribly
startled and when he got up and started for the
door he didn't even say, Glory" but just,

We filed out behind him and into an air trans
port waiting in front of Headquarters. We took

we were going. because She was sitting so that

An hour or so later we came down on this island.
We filed out of the air transport The Leaders
man ordered the pilot to take off again. We sup
posed he was going back to Headquarters, but
as soon as the transport was a little way over
the ocean, the Leadersman took ray gun and
shot it. The transport tumbed down into the

THERE'S an old, old custom that
IL bids good friends get together
for frolic and feasting when the
bad old witches with their caval.
cade of bats and cats, hobgoblins
and scarecrows, come forth to cele-
brate Halloween.
You'll enjoy celebrating the holt
day with a little witchery Of your
own if you plan refreshments
around Black Magic Tarts, with a
tasty chocolate filing made Of
sweetened condensed milk. To give
q properly spooky effect, let each
tart bear the imprint Of a witch
formed by a delicateiy Drowned
pastry cutout. You can make the
tarts ahead Of time and then defy
the COLLINS of hurry and worry to
get you, If you use this short cut
recipe for filling made with sweet
ened condensed milk. You won't
need the hobgoblins' help to make
sure of a triumph because the
recipe is magically failure-proof.
Serve your refreshments by the
eerie glow of ghost lights. You can
make them easily by lighting
candles ahead Of time and standing
them in a draught to drip into
Iuncanny shapes.
Be sure to eo-star the tarts with
nuts and raisins and juicy red
apples, part Of the traditional
Halloween feast.

from constant head colds, as I call
it, by taking five Oh ten grains Of

WOMAN,S REALM -

WHO SHOULD WEAR A MASK?
Gauze (washed cheesecloth
masks over nose and mouth are
generally worn by surgeons and
their assistants IN the operating
room, also by the anesthetist and
by the nurse or nurses whose duties
require them to enter the operating
room. In some operating rooms
where surgical asepsis is rigidly
maintained, even physicians or med
ical students who are permitted to
be present as on-lookerS are re-
quired to wear such masks. The
purpose, Of course, Is to prevent
possible spray or droplet infection
Of the wound-droplets Of secretion
or moisture from nose or mouth
shooting forth when the individual
speaks. Such spray may consist of
invisibly or impalpably fine droplets,
yet such droplets may contain
germs. Such spray carries two or
three feet, at most up to five feet.
FIugge first called attention
(189D to the fact that during
speaking, and especially loud talk
ing, coughing and sneezing, tiny
droplets Of secretion of moisture
are thrown of from the mouth. BY
actual meteorological tests he and
others since Gaschtschenko In
1899, WinSlow and Robinson in
1910 proved that these GropletS
carry germs. Flhgge found that
the germs In such droplets may be
carried as far as nine meters
(nearly thirty feet) during hard
coughing; the spray given of dur
ing quiet conversation carries less
than five feet.
Probably the very finest droplets
may float about in the air, but
there IS no evidence that infection
Is conveyed by such floating mois-
turel droplets-the moisture would
evaporate almost Immediately, and
disease germs as quickly die or lose
their virulence in q dry, cool envi-
ronment. The danger we have to
worry about is direct transfer OF
the spray droplets from one person
to another, so that the germs in the
dropletS are exposed for only an IN
slant to drying and cooling In the
air.
Many health agencies have warn
ed the public against the danger Of
infection by the spray of cough or
SneeZe but nothing has been said

After an absence of eight years
the man to whom Della D. had
been engaged suddenly reap
peared. Where had he been dur
ing those years? He said he had
been in confinement. She wrote
to make inquiries and was told
that no man of his name had ever
been there.
HE has been somewhere; he
looks terrible; = but don't know
where he has been" she said,
During the years of his absence
she had succeeded in putting him
out of her mind, and had done well
in the excellent office position that
she held.
Now her mind was again In
emotional turmoil. Perhaps she
had never known his real name.
although she had first met him
under exceptionally favorable con-
ditions. Perhaps he might be
already married to another woman,
and was now trying to involve her
in tangle. Perhaps he had served
sentence for some crime. She
knew nothing about either his past
or his present.
1t was all uncertainty, 1t was
all distress. She couldn't sleep.
She had a crying spell at the
office. She became so fatigued
that it was difficult to carry on
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-28

her work, and with fatigue came
irritability.
She thought she might be
obliged to give up her job. Then,
when she came to the clinic for
some kind of medical help, she
found that she had developed high
blood pressure.
The blood pressure was watched
in the clinic, but there was not
much to do medically. The i'm
portant part Of the treatment was
psychological. The young woman
needed to have help clarifying her
thoughts and regulating her emo
tionS.
After one long ana searching pri-
vate interview she came to class
which met weekly for group psy-
chotherapy. She took notes, and
lived with them in Sae intervals
between meetings. She made thor

her emotions to the xard expert

The young woman learned to prac-
ticesa new control over her thoughts
and feelings. She had developed a
general distrust of people and Of
life, but now cultivated more free
dom in meeting people socially.
The fatigue symptoms disap-
peared. and she did her work with
such success that she received a
fine promotion. She declared with
enthusiasm that she thought IL was

KEEP SUPPLE
AND GRACEFUL
You can resolve never to take a
second helping Of anything on the
menu except green vegetables. You
can keep from making such excuses
for overeating as: But I work hard
and I really need this much food"
If your doctor has advised you to eat
all you possibly can as often as you
can, by all means do SO. Otherwise,
eat moderately. You'll feel better II
you do. And goodness knows, you'll
look better.
Furthermore, if outdoor exercise
is quite out of the question from
now until spring, try to manage to
do some limbering and stretching
exercises in your room for at least
ten minutes every day. 1t isn't
enough that you keep slender. You
