~~-O specific white-collar job, neverthe- less is meant to educate them TOT a white-collar world. They are ex- pected to stumble into some kind Of office job which they can quickly learn to hold down.
 It is this situation which has led the American Youth Commission, a research organization, to recom- mend that we return to the colonial practice of teaching our young peo- pie useful occupations.
 PARENTS SHOULD
 TAKE INITIATIVE
 It takes a long time to make even small changes in an education al system. So you had better as- sume the responsibility for seeing that your own son doesn't become a white-collar man in world that has more jobs for men ill overalls,
 One thing you can do, of course if he isn't going on to college and shows signs of having some mechan- ical ability, is to see that he goes to a commercial high school, where he can get training for specific job.
 Another thing you can do is tc encourage him to use the time most young people have to spend working for almost nothing, in place where he will learn a trade or g skill. Or help him, if you can, tc start small business of his own. Do anything practical you car think of that will keep him from one day joining the ranks of young people walking from office to office | looking for work.

THEY LIKE IT EVEN IF IT DOES
 THEM NO GOOD

Nothing raises a doctors stocks with a certain class of patients so much as fortnight expression of opinion by the doctor that they have nothing serious the matter, just a slight functional disturbance. Then if the doctor cares to endear himself still more in the patients esteem-for couple of weeks-he need only inquire indulgently what the patient has been taking for 1t, and whatever it may be bid him go ahead and use it.
 The class of patients to which l refer are the fairly well-heeled and dangerously numerous retainerS or dependents of the plutocracy and those who have by chance come m- to a competence. Just what 1t Is that gives these patients their snug notion I don't know, but it seems that the possesson of little more jack than ones neighbor purports to have qualities one to exercise pretty shrewd judgment concerning the significance of symptoms and the choice of the proper remedies or treatment therefor.
 Difficult patients to handle, these wiseacres. It requires considerable patience and tact, at the first inter ! view, or overwhelming force of per- sonality if you have it, to get the patient off his high horse and on the ground where you can get on with your examination. MT. or o11 vHrnfn-c tA ro- main firmly in the saddle and cross examine the doctor to find out whether the doctor really knows anything about such cases, whether he can possibly have had any ex- perience in dealing with the com- plaints of the upper classes.
 Painfully I recall that in my early years in practice considerable DOT tion of my patients contrived to make me give them a good tonic" of some kind, no matter what I thought ailed them or what other remedy or treatment I thought in- dicated. This tonic had to be pow erfully bitter and disagreeable to take-indeed these qualities were what made it good tonic. You see, there was an innate idea that med icine had to be otter in order to be | potent.
 I say patients contrived to make me give them such connections. Not patients, perhaps, but the custom of the time. Always the small voice of conscience whispered that if I really knew what ailed the patient I'd prescribe rational remedy and there'd be no need to string him along with a tonic" Rarely did I summon the courage to state the problem as plainly as that to the patient. Still more rarely did keep the patient long after such confession of ineptitude. The public was not yet ready for it.
 It is 8 great satisfaction to a doctor in practice to be able to give a patient or client a clean bill of health. This a doctor can do, of course, only after a painstaking ex- animation. Especially gratifying to the doctor is the authority and privilege of reassuring the patient or client who perhaps has been sec retly or ayowedly worried by fear of some serious disease. Without one or maybe several successive ex- aminations of the client the doctor

Glonfing Yourself

 Before you throw up your hands in despair because your budget won't permit a complete new ward- robe this fall, try the system of making the most of what you have in your present one.
 Don't be downhearted about not being able to get new suit. until YOU have taken last springs suit out of moth balls and thought about it in terms of new accessories. They should be quite unlike the access sories you wore with it during spring, of course.
 GET A FLOCK
 OF NEW ACCESSORIES
 Last winters wool dresses won't look or feel the same if you have them shortened, re-f1tted through the waistline if necessary, cleaned and prssed by an excellent dry cleaner and pressed by an excellent dry cleaner. And then wear them with good looking shoes, bag, hat and gloves in one of the new, ex- citing accessory colors, such as benedictine brown. Perhaps a new, inexpensive Jac- ket and skirt you already have will solve the suit situation in pretty good order, maybe if the old black dress had new bright scarf or a new clip at the neckline, 1t wouldn't look like the old black dress. Even shoes often can be recon ditioned to look and feel like new. Before you throw away a pair of old favorites for which you paid quite a tidy sum, consider having them re-soled or perhaps dyed.
 DRESS AND JACKET
 OUTFIT IS HANDY
 If you can have one new outfit, YOU might get wool dress and a matching jacket and accessories which will be smart with 1t and with one or two leftover dresses | in your wardrobe. The dress ano jacket will be right for street and general wear. And, if it isn't toe severely tailored, the dress minus the jacket will be useful for bridge and dressier occasions.
 Also, remember that spic anc span white gloves often will make an old outfit seem not so old. Wash able white doeskins are a real m' vestment. Have several pairs if you possibly can, and be sure to Wasr them after each wearing.

He hoisted the body Of the limp
pilot from the seat and dumped 1t
onto the ground just as Claire and
Rene came painting up to the side Of
the plane.
With Bill pulling and Claire boost
ing, Rene managed to climb into the
rear cockpit, and q minute later
Claire was in beside him.
"Okay, darling!' the girl cried.
Lets go!"
Already the hangar crew had
sensed that something was wrong
and a half a dozen men were run
ming toward them as Bill advanced
his throttle, released his brakes and
the Messerschmidt started to move.
Frightens Ground Crew.
He gave it the gas as far as he
dared and the motor roared in re-
sponse. He began to pick up speed,
heading directly at the soldiers run
ming toward the ship. Several had
rifles in their hands, and one was
carrying machine gun. Sweeping
in their direction, Bill laughed aloud
as they flung themselves fiat to
avoid the Charging plane. He
hauled back on the stick then and
the plane scared into the air.
Over the roar of the motors he
heard the wall of a dozen sirens
from the hangers as the alarm was
sounded. and he knew that soon the
air would be full of wireless warm

knew the French lieutenant would
give a good account Of himself
Up, up. up, the plane lifted, the
altimeter registering $4,000 kilo-
meters, which Cameron swiftly COM
puted to about $4,000 feet. His ears
ached.
In the gray clouds of the morning,
he knew visibility at that height
would be low, so he leveled of and
headed straight for France.
Leaning over the side, he saw a
squadron of ships far below him.
They had seen him, too, and started
to climb. But Bill was SO high above
them and headed in the opposite
direction that he knew they never
could catch him.
He had nothing to fear from anti
aircraft batteries, either, as he was
well out of their range. The only
worry now was being mistaken for
a Nazi raider when he got over the
French lines and falling victim to
French fire before he could identify
himself.
Then he remembered what Rene
had told him while they were still
in the woods. He had asked the
Frenchman how he kept from being
shot down by his own men.
Safe in France.
IT simply waggle my wings and
dip the nose of the plane three
times" Rene told him.
When Claire leaned forward and
punched him In the back about an
hour later, Bill glanced back. Rene
was gesturing wildly with his good
arm and pointing down. Bill
thought he saw his lips forming the
name, Metz"
He put the ship into dive and
looked back for confirmation. When
Rene nodded. he dropped down rap
idly. He leveled of at frequent in
tervals, waggled his wings, and
dipped three times, then went into
a new dive. Repeating this ma
neuver, he soon was circling down
over what he made out as a large
field, which he could plainly see in
the light that now was streaming
over the eastern horizon.
Circling slowly, the plane settled
down. Its wheels touched the run
way, it glided toward the hangers,
and Cameron brought 1t to stop.
He ripped of his helmet and gog-
giles and Rene and Claire did the
same as a squad of soldiers, bay
onets fixed, came rushing toward
them.
Rene was Immediately recognized.
and cheer went up from the men,

salute, as he had seen the other
flyers do
The officer checked his list,
nodded, and Bill passed through.
The others were ranging them
selves in a line and an officer with
a list in his hand was reading off
names. Bill was thankful he had
chosen one that started with "W"
as the list was alphabetical. AS
each name was called, the number
of plane was sung out and an
officer stepped forward briskly to
the line of ships, propellers already
turning, which were waiting with
mechanics standing at attention
beside them.
His name came last. Pausing
just long enough to shout "Here"
as Hans Weber" was called, he
dashed toward ship No. 26 to which
he had been assigned.
Bill Boards Plane.
BY the time he reached the plane,
the pilot alreadv was climbing into
the cockpit, and gestured for Bill to
climb into the observers place
behind him. A thrill shot through
Cameron as he saw it was a dual
control plane. He adjusted his he'll
met and goggles, frightened his muf-
fer about his neck, and let his right
hand slip into his jacket pocket
where he had placed the stone.
There was a terrific roar as the
planes turned, speeded their motors,
and took off in regular order. He
blessed his luck again that he was
last in the line. and as the mechan-
les jerked out the blocks from under
the wheels and leaped back and his
pilot turned the ship to head toward
the end of the runway, Cameron
leaned forward. the rock grasped
tightly in his hand, and swung with
all his force back of the Nazi flyers
ear.
The pilot slumped over in his seat
and Bill dropped back and took
hold of the dual controls. The ship
barely faltered for an instant, not
long enough to be noticed in the
gray OF the early morning, ana Bill
headed for the far side of the field
where he had told Claire and Rene
to wait for him.
This Signal Works.
A horrible fear flashed through his
mind What If they weren't there?
What if they had misunderstood
and were at the far side of the field?
If they were, then he'd have to take
a long chance of taxing back, hop
ing that they would leap up from
their place of concealment and he
could get them aboard before the
ground crew discovered that any,
thing was wrong.
His fears were groundless, though.
AS he purposely waggled his plane
in a zigzag. as he and Rene had
agreed upon for a signal. he saw the
two of them rise up from the far
edge of the field and start toward
him.
Swinging his plane about to head
downwind, Cameron braked the
ship to dead stop and then clam
bered over into the front cockpit.

CHAPTER 20.

Instead of heading for the hang
ars, Cameron turned of toward
the east In the direction Rene had
told him the officers barracks were
located.
In the graying dawn, he made out
the low row of shedlike buildings
and waited near them. He heard
voices, some gay, some grumbline
at having to turn out at such an
unearthly hour
Soon a truck rolled down the
street, the headlights showing
dimly. 1t stopped before the bar
racks. A single sound of the horn
brought men tumbling from the
building, and unobtrusively Bill
joined them and ran toward the
heavy vehicle.
He still had no definite plan, but
was trusting that luck or inspira-
tion would see him through. He
fingered a heavy rock he had picked
up and put in his pocket as, wedged
tightly in the truck, he jostled and
jolted along with the others.
Some were complaining, in half
drunken tones, at being routed at
this hour for a patrol over the
enemy lines. Other men, younger,
were looking forward eagerly to
the adventure.

Cameron Gets In.
At the entrance to the hangers,
the truck stopped and the officers
piled out. Cameron managed to
edge himself into the background
and was one of the last through
the gate. He had plenty of time
to observe the procedure. Each
man, as he passed, paused just long
enough to give his name and have
it checked by the officer there. Two
soldiers, with bayonets fixed on
their rifles, stood guard.
Cameron heard the officer bark
out at him: Name?"
