He knew Charlie Block was
watching, boring holes into
his back. But nobody was
watching him that night when
Block nosed her into the hay.
Because Don was scrunched
in the toolbox. A reserve
drum of gas went overheard
to make room for him.
They were ne-half an
hour. Once Block halted the
craft and she bounced around
the rough bay waters. In his
smelly. crowded space Don
grew i'll. He could tell when
the motor stalled and went
briefly into reverse that they
we're landing. Block would be
busy. Don scrambled out.
WANTS THAT DANCE
Pitchy darkness. Soon he
made out Charlie forward.
He tied her up and leaped
onto the pier. Thirty yards
ahead were lights and laugh
ter. And safety. Block never
covered that 30 yards. Don
hoped him with tackle
around the knees, grabbed the
satchel he was carrying, and
ran like hell.
His car was close by in a
parking lot. In Is minutes
he was in Dan Higgins fiat.
Dan was in the FBI His old
man was a colonel. too.

They brought the blonde
back. Pretty soon couple
of other birds came in with
Charlie Block. He was bunged
up some. She was boiling and
called Charlie all kinds >oi
names-not in English. Don
regarded her admirlngly
"You are sure an armful Of
dame" he said Babe, when
YOU get out I hope I'm around.
I still want that dance"

there are some thirty-odd strains

OXYGEN NEEDS CARE

Oxygen is used when there Is
a definite indication that the
patients lungs are so congested
that he cannot readily use oxy-
gen from the air.
Oxygen should not be used in
discriminatory in all pneumonia
patients, and II sometimes
makes them very uncomfortable.
Just which one of these rem
edies. or all. TO use in a given
case requires the best judgment
of the attending physician.
From the reports OF those
with wide experience II would
seem that the sulfanilamide
derivatives are the method of
choice.
There is no reason why they
should not be used in combina-
ton with serum. The two rem
edies play different parts.
The sulfanilamide derivatives
apparently attack the germ IT,
self. while the serum neutrallzes
the toxins or by-products pro-
duced by the germs.

She didn't need TO. Don
had conducted an experiment
and it had worked. He knew
now that there was something
between Charlie Block and
the mysterious blonde. He
knew too that the reason why
he and Block had always been
on no better than snarling
terms was because they in
stinctiYely mistrusted one an
other.

Her destination was Hong

Also that her name was Hulda
Carlson.
Remembering her expression
when he'd mentioned Charlie,
he fought down a temptation
10 twit him. II would have
been fun-but it was more
fun 10 keep an eye on Charlie
without Charlie suspecting.
That's how he learned about
Charles speedboat. He kept
her tied up at a North Beach
wharf. She didn't look like
much hut she was fast and
searworthy. One day he saw
Charlie leaving the wharf.
The little specialized japanese
with him excited his curiosity
too.
He scanned the passenger
lists of all the eastbound Clip
pers watching for Hulda's re-
turn. The day before the
Clipper was due in-the third
since Hulda had left--he was
conveniently laid up with a
cold and couldn't work. That
was because he had glanced
at the incoming passenger list
and seen the name of Hulda
Carlson.

DIFFERENT SERUMs

Methods have been developed
TO determine what strain any
given patient has. in a short
time, and different serums have
been developed applicable 10

than the use of serum has been

~ with a cute little trick
from Telegraph Hill when
from far across the dance 8
floor he saw Charlie Block
come in with a gorgeous
blonde. After that the blonde
was all Don had eyes for.
The longer time and cir
cumstance kept her out of his
arms the more he wanted her
in them. Wanting things and
doing something about it was
a way Don had.
He was "a years old. The
world had been his oyster

run away from a pretty good

prepping for West Point. He
SHE'D from West Point be-
cause his old man was an
army officer. a colonel in fact,
and Don had come TO the de-
ciSion on his own that the
army was no place for a guy
that wanted TO get ahead fast
unless there was a war on.
He caught up with Charlie
Block after losing him a dozen
times on the crowded floor.
He didn't like Block and
Block didn't like him but that
was a small matter indeed
where a girl was concerned.
Hi. Charlie" Don greeted
offering clgaret.
Block looked up startled.
He wasn't so tall as Don but
broader, squattier, and seemed
some years Older. There was
quick suspicion in his glance
but this wholly escaped Don.

Block allowed himself to he
led along. The bar was
crowded with boys and girls.

even in tails, for the uni

who earned a more than fair
wage pushing those comfort

all culture lies in ruins. And even
to Palestine, where refugees had
come and given promise of erect
ing a fine musical tradition, the
horrors of Hitler's Europe fol-
lowed them, overshadowing music
in the Holy Land with bombings.
WARS, revolutions, have not al
ways affected arts, which seem to
live their own life, according to
their own laws" Ernest Bloch, the
famous composer, recently wrote
to us. But this is more than an
ordinary war. :"
This is a total war, and it's de-
struction is total, killing not only
life, but art and the spirit that is
necessary for art. And in the gen
eral term "War" we include all
that Hitlerism has done; for the
"war" started in 1888, when Hit
ler's drive against the Jews was
launched-that was the first stage
Of the Blitzkrieg.
And so the review Of the must
cal year might confine itself to
this one line-"for the past year
there was War"-were it not for
America. The effects of Hitlerism

Partly because of the enrichment
Of Americas musical legion by
refugees from abroad, this coun-
try enjoyed musical year of un-
precedented success. In every field
of music-concerts, radio, records
there was intensified activity.
Fortunately, tendency towards
musical isolatiorism which ap-
peared with the outbreak Of the
war did not assume serious pro-
portions in this country. In Cana
da, an orchestra banned works by
Wagner because he was German.
But the United States kept its
shirt on, despite the growing wave
of anti-Nazi feeling. This past
summer we were glad to hear
Hans Wilhelm Ste&lberg, a Jew
ish refugee from Germany and
former conductor of the Palestine
Symphony Orchestra, conduct the
New York Philharmonic in a Beet
hoven-Wagner program. He was
following the dictum of Arturo
Toscanini, who once conducted
Wagner in Palestine, and when
asked why, said: Nothing should

MUSIC IN A WAR YEAR.

turned TO South America to an
unprecedented degree. Toscanini
and his NBC Symphony Orchestra
and Leopold Stokowski with
youth orchestra = both of which
included a goodly proportion of
Jewish musicians = made highly
successful tours of Latin Ameri-
ca, helping to solidify in the mu-
steal field the strengthening bond
Of pan-American unity. Such So
ioists as Jascha Heifetz also
;oured South America, and Heifetz
set new attendance records. La
zare Saminsky was in South
America conducting concerts and
occurring on American music.
Palestine strove valiantly to
fulfill her young but rapidly grow
ing musical tradition, but there
were mountainous obstacles Gre
ated by the war and the resultant
economic stringencies. The Pales-
tine Symphony Orchestra, found
ed by Bronislaw Huberman and
consisting largely of refugees,
managed to include a successful
season, with Huberman among the
soloists and Felix Weingartner
as guest conductor. Emil Haus-
er, director of the Palestine Con-
servatoire of Music, came to the
United States to seek support for
his institution, which has rescued
scores of young Jewish musicians
from Europe. However, the inten-
sification of the war and it's spread
to the Mediterranean gave the
Conservatoire rough going.
No review of the year in music
would be complete without refer
ence to the enormous upswing of
interest in photograph records.
And, accompanying this growing
interest, there has been constant
improvement in the art of record
ing, with the result that some I'M
excelled music on records has been
brought out by the major record
ing companies. For the best work
done by Jewish artists during the
past year we would select the fol-
lowing:
Orchestra-Tchaikovsky's Fifth
Symphony, Artur Rodzinski con-
Quoting the Cleveland Orchestra
(Columbia);
Violin = the Brahms concerto,
performed by Jascha Heifetz with
