Steel plant operations this week rebounded to 9e.6 per cent of capa. city, five point advance from the Independence Day weeks rate of 93.5 per cent, but still under the pre- holiday level of 1905 per cent.
 Whether ingot production can show much improvement during the next month or, indeed, whether 1t can hold, is radpidly becoming . matter of speculation, not merely because melting operations are SO high but because the steel industry apparently Is not far from . situa. ton in which 1t will face twin short- ages of png Iron and scrap.
 While production of coke pig iron In June, according to The Iron Age compilation, reached 4663,leS net tons compared with 4,Se0. .e66 tons in May, and the operating rate for the industxy's blast furnaces was e6.e per cent against e31 per cent in May, the supply Of pig iron is far from adequate.

Damascus in Center Of Wor in Levont
.....:S..S=.s-

0LD and venerable are the v buildings in Damascus, Syria, around which British and Vichy French forces recently engaged in fighting.
 The stamp above depicts a mosque in Damascus, one of the many ancient structures that were threatened by fighting in the vi- cinity.
 About 100000 persons, mostly Mohammedans, inhabit the city: No Notifications, capable of cop- ing with modern mechanized war; fare, were thrown up around the city. Damascus is used chiefly as the center of civil administration and the famous old citadel is now used as a prison.
 Most of the residents of Da- mascus were slain about $40 years ago when the Mongol invader, Tamerlane, swept through the city, slaughtering and pillaging as he went along.
 Syria fell into French hands during World War l after having been Turkish territory for cen- turies. Under the treaty of Ver- sailles, this country was man. dated to France. But in 1886, Syria obtained autonomy, al- though the French have continued to look upon. this land as a pro- tectorate.

 Miley shrugged. T was playing a hunch, that's all. You'll notice stairway from "A deck comes out slight distance from where was hiding"
 "Wellp"
 "Youll boil if tell you" !, Rollins felt that icy chill on his spine again. T won't boil - let's have itp
 Miley leaned forward. T was wondering, Rollins, if that nurse would be sneaking downstairs to see you After all :" | Rollins slashed a right cross i that caught Miley squarely on the side of the face. He pitched Side- ways off the chair and landed on all fours.
 "Get up ratp snarled Rollins.
 Miley came shakily to his feet, blood trickling from tn e side ot his mouth.
 The ship gave a bad luch to starboard, and Rollins went slightly off balance. Miley slipped into crouch and rushed him. A hard left upper cut caught Rollins suuarely on the chin. Miley sank a right in the midriff, and Rol- lins clinched.
 Break clean, Big Shotl" Miley growled into the others ear.
 Rollins pushed him away, his face white with pain.
 Miley weaved in again to meet a sharp left jab. Then they were toe to toe, science gone to the wind. Above the grooming of the big ships timpers came the thuds of pounding fists and the untitled gasps of the fighting men.
 A savage right to the heart dropped Rollin to one knee
 Let's call 1t quits, Gregg" he panted, T didn't know you were so sweet on the girl, or I would have phrased myself little more i delicately. You took 8 wrong in1- plication - was wondering if she was taking you into her confidence or not, and thought I might over- hear something :"
 Rollins rose slowly and sat on the end of his bed. "Cmon, Miley, there's no use to parry legal thrusts now-out with itl"
 Well, she has been reported three times for being on deck after Lights Out"
 Nothing serious about that - l suppose she just wanted some air"
 Miley shrugged. "Yes, that's possible. But she has also been seen on several occasions with binoculars studying the Morse messages sent by light flashes form the battle cruiser com manding the convoy"
 He paused but Rollins said nothing.
 And, finally, another nurse told me this Davaar girl has beer acting queerly. A stranger to al of them, she has kept to herself for the most part, but what bit of conversation they get out o' her at the table would indicate that she knows very little abou nursing. You seem to be her sol' friend on board and :"
 Rollins looked down ct hi! bleeding knuckles. And what?'
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-22

he asked In dull tones.
 And I had hoped that you might be able to help me out. I have kept my suspicious from the O. c because they are admittedly shallow, but there is e question of duty. What I wanted to know from you, Rollins, is whether she has ever given you any hints as to her background Why she has kept to herself What she may have seen during those jaunts on deck Where she came from
 Rollins shook his head. T can't help you there. She never dis- cussed herself"
 Miley seemed actually relieved. He smiled and stuck out his hand,
 This dirty job of Investigating was pushed on to me, Greg, and don't like 1t. Did we run Into couple of doors?"
 Rollins stood up and shook hands. "That's 1t - a couple of doors. You're off the track about the girl though"
 T guess you're right. Just for- get the whole business" Miley strengthened his tunic and left the cabin.
 Rollins stood motionless, staring at the door. There was Q hard glint in his eye. He had gone in search of Miley to find out one de- Ain1 ayad khai,a straVAaSosss ameeiavA krN~ gether had given him the answer.
 Rollins was apparently the only person on board ship who had seen the miniature light flashes from "A" deck last night. His suspicion about light being in- volved the Tees murder was apparently unshared by Miley or anybody. The sentry who had re- ported the light on that first night had been left with the opinion somebody had been sneaking a smoke.
 Rollins lighted cigaret and inhaled deeply. He felt, as sure as he was alive, that some person aboard the ship was flashing a light from "A" deck each night about the same time and that he Rollins, was the only one who had stumbled across the fact.
 If he reported his opinion to the o. O., they would likely hide watchers on deck, and word would get around that something was up. The murderer might bt warned, thus ruining any posSi- bility of catching him.
 There was only one thing to do The next night would find hin hidden in @ lifeboat close to tha busy spot on "A" deck. Either he'd get the murderer or the rnur. derer would get him. This time the game would be for keepsl

 A sudden silence fell upon them.

 Miley hesitated second. T might ask why you are prowl- ing around this side of the ship at this hour2"
 ''Thats easy, I was coming over Co have a chat with you"
 Miley laughed outright. "Okay, Gregory, that settles it. I'll con- fess that I was attempting to play sleuth and hid myself here in the hope of spotting anything unusual.
