Baltic since the British challenged
the German invasion of Norway

transports going down with every
man aboard: great warships
quivering under the blasts from
airplane bombs: and day and night,
by every means Of ocean and
aerial transport, men and guns

The admiralty announced today
that in the first battle of Narvik,
every officer and man of the
British destroyer Hunter was be-

Is a faint possibility that a very
small number Of these officers and

admiralty.
Last night the admiralty an

CHAPTER NINETEEN

For one terrible moment Gail
thought her mother was going to
speak. Her eyes blazed bitter
hatred from the dead whiteness of
her face. She stopped and the
words she did not say were hurled
like invisible javelins across the
room, then awkwardly, hastily. as
If suddenly afraid to remain, Anna
disappeared.
MY God, how she must hate
me" Chris exclaimed. Have you
explained to her that my intentions
are strictly honorable ?"
He tried to speak lightly but
Gail knew that his nerves had been
shaken by the unspoken threat in
Annals eyes. The spell between
them had been broken. Their beau
tiful moment lay at their feet
splintered into pieces. Never to be
recaptured.
Your intentions have nothing TO
do with it," Gail said unhappily.
You mean she doesn't want you
to marry me?"
Gail nodded.
But why not ?" the man insist
ed. After all, If your mother has
something against me I'm certainly
entitled to know what it is. Or is it
just that she doesn't want you to
marry anyone ?"
she wouldn't want me to marry
anyone now" Gail admitted in a
low, troubled voice, hoping her
mother could not hear.
But. darling, can't you see that
that isn't normal viewpoint for
any woman to have? You're too
sane to let YOUR whole life be influ-
enced by any such reason"
II haven't any choice about IT,"

With the teeth it is even worse.
The eye is a very delicate organ
which may be injured by infection,
accidents or misuse. Children may
inherit certain eye defects or be
born with congenital deformities.
Some of these may be corrected
by skilled eye specialist. We have

few drops of diluted silver nitrate
solution. we have almost done
away with this cause of blindness.

Dental hygiene is the most

We know that dental defects are
the most prevalent of all the de-

we have not yet discovered the
means to prevent many of the de-

however, that primitive peoples
who have not taken refined foods
with excess of sugar have better
teeth than moderns.

EXERCISE AND DIET
DO THE TRICK

She knows that IL she eats less
and does special exercises for the
upper arms the rolls Of excess
weight between elbows and
shoulders will disappear.
Or. il she happens to be too
thin, she'll resolve TO get a great
deal more sleep and rest and to
eat quantities of calory-rich
foods.
Thin or overweight. however,
she will correct her posture and in
so doing eliminate hollow
chested look and the lump on the
back of her neck. Bathing suits
aren't flattering to any figure
which Is hollow in the wrong
places or bulging in the wrong
places.
To refine the texture OF skin
which is soon to be exposed to both
sun and spectators, she renews her
attention to her long-handled bath
brush. Size scrubs back, shoulders
and upper arms with the brush
each time she battles. Afterward.
she rubs them vigorously with a
coarse bath towel. The towel re-
moves dead cuticle and stimulates
circulation, which is important.
