supposed to be a rather tight War
Office secret.
Gun glanced at his wrist watch.
Time was going too fast.
No time to analyze these clues
now-must think them out later.
Gun put the ledgers back, just
as he had found them, and closed
and locked the drawer. Turned to
the next one. This contained
money, receipts and-postage
stamps. A clue here, perhaps. Gun
examined them eagerly. They were
Greek.
Then we're somewhere in the
Greek Archipelago, for a FLYER! 1
was right" Gun said to himself.
The next drawer contain ed more
books-cipher and code keys. Sew

codes and ciphers there, too. Also
a number of German official ones.
But the keys were not official
they carefully prepared
copies, both in the case of the
British and the German ones. That
was curious. because it not only
meant that what Gun had half sus-
pected-that this was some Ger
man or fascist plot-was not cor
rect, but it also '>oked as though
whatever scheme these people had
was aimed against Germany as
well as Britain.
No time to analyze. Gun glanced
at his watch again. All this had
taken a lot of time. And he still
had discovered nothing definite.
One more drawer left-but only
a few minutes to devote to it. AS
he unlocked the last drawer and
peered inside, Gun almost gave
vent to a whoop of triumph. This
was what he wanted-correspond-
ence.
Damn tit was all in code. No
some of the letters had the de-
cooling attached On slips of paper.
Hastily Gun went through them.
AS he did so his dark eyes glowed
with anger, and his lips uncon-
sciously frightened. For here was
as foul a plot - IS ruthless a
scheme for the mere acquisition
of money-as ever brain could de-
wise. l

through. No, he must work with
his torch.
He turned his attention to the
desk, and the first thing his eyes
lighted on was tn cigaret box.
This time the temptation was too
strong.
He opened it. There were six
cigarets on the top layer, and
Trent, he realized, might remem-
Der. He took one from the lower
layer, and arranged them so that
there we're still six on top. Then he
crouched down behind desk
and lit the cigaret with his gold
lighter.
That was good. The smoke
steadied his nerves.
He turned his attention to the
desk. There were six drawers. two
unlocked, four locked. A glance at
those that ere not locked showed,
s. he expected, that they contained
nothing but not paper, pens, pa
per clips and other office neces-
sites. They were very tidy. Gun
looked for some sort of printed
note heading, but found none. He
had hardly expected to-.
Now he turned his attention to
the locked drawers. The first one
contained a lot of books and ledg-
ers, with a Ready Reckoner on
top. Gun lifted the ledgers onto the
floor, and flicked the pages over,
occasionally studying m with in
terest. They were Illuminating. APP
parently Trent, or the people he
represented, dealt a good deal in
explosives. There were itemized
purchases of picric acid, nitro gly-
c%erine, dynamite, gelignite, TINT.
Also percussion caps, time fuses
and contact fuses, etc.
But the most puzzling thing was
the quantities. They had been pay
ing a heavy price for the stuff, but
the quantities were comparatively
small. Evidently there was no
question of them making munitions
on a large scale-all the same,
they must have 4 fairly complete
arsenal about, somewhere.
Another ledger dealt with all
sorts of stores. Not so interesting,
The interest revived in a third
ledger in which were recorded pur-
chases of small arms, machine and
sub-machine guns and ammuni-
ton. Again not in large quantities.
More raw material. Gun knew
enough about such matters to real
ize that they were manufacturing
incendiary bombs-but again in
astonishingl~ small quantities.
And then a particularly interest
ing item: ITO S Cylinders GLIB"
Gun happened to know something
about GLIB. 1t was a recently III
vented gas, which did not actually
kill, but rendered all who breathed
it unconscious for several hours. 1t
was designed for throwing into
dug-outs when one wanted to take
prisoners, for Interrogation or 9TH
err purposes. What the devil did
these people want with that stuff
and, incidentally, how did they
manage to get hold of it? It was

Wage Hour Law Exempts
Forest Fire Fighters

Jackson, Miss, July 17.-Employers
of forest fire fighters working under
the supervision of State or Federal
agencies in organized protection areas
are not required to consider time spent
in fire fighting activities as hours
worked for the company during the
work-week. This information has been
been received by the Mississippi For
estry Commission from the U. S.
Forest Service which worked out the
policy in conference with the Wage
and Hour Division of the Department
of Labor.
State Forester Fred b. Merrill
comments that this decision will en-
courage lumber, pulp, and other com
panies to permit their employees to
volunteer their services in suppressing
woods fires. He a y that such aid to
the organized protection forces is
necessary at times because of in
adequate fire protection funds. Many
employers have been hesitant about
giving aid because of previous un-
ce%rtainties about the Wage and Hour
Act.
The State Forester calls attention
to the fact hat this exemption APP

women-of the 5000 engaged in this
industry will receive increases of a.

"Build-U2" Relief
Explained 10 Women

A simple method has saved many
women a lot of suffering!
1t is based on the fact that head
aches, nervousness, cramp-like pain
are often symptoms of functional
dySmenoyrhed due to malnutrition.
Help for this condition so often
follows the use of CARDUI, be-
cause it usually increases the ap-
petite and the flow of gastric juice;
thus aids digestion and helps build
physical resistance. Usual result
is less periodic distress.
Many who take CARDUI a few
days before and during "the time"
have found this helps ease periodic
discomfort. Women have used
CARDUI for more than so years!

Miss. Garment Workers
Receive Woee increases

About $3.50 Mississippi e n {
increases on July 18th as the result OF
the apparel wage order under the
Federal Wage Hour Law, according
to estimates of Robert T, Amis, Reg
ional Director of the Wage and Hour
Division, U. s. Department of Labor,
Sis Conner B%uildingg, 2nd Avenue, and
21st Street, North. Birmingham, Ala
bama. The apparel wage order, which
went into effect Monday morning, was
signed in Washington May Is, 1910,
by Colonel Philip B. Fleming, Admin
istrator oi:the Waga and Hour Divi-
sion 1t established minimum rates of
80 ID, 35, 81 ID and 40 cents an
hour for rs divisions of the garment
industry. 1t was estimated that these
rates will increase the wages of some
200, 900 garment workers throughout
the nation.
II do not think it is any exaggera-
ton to say that this wage order is
welcomed by most manufacturers in
lines which in the past have experience
ed cycles of wage cutting and price
cutting" said Mr.. Amis. From now
on these manufacturers will be able
to operate with confidence that flu
ture underselling will be made pos
sible only by factors other than cut.
rage competition. To this extent, this
wage order should bring s~tablization
in the garment industry. We have
enough inspectors now to do a job,
and we are going to see to it that
this order is enforced in Mississippi
and in the garment establishments Of
