To keep the dirt from getting
moist again after the owen pro-
cess, q special tent is being made
to cover the construction area.
It will dwarf circus big top.
Evans said the cost of fuel oil
alone for the drying would run
to an estimated $500, 900.
The dam is being built as a
flood control project only on
"the river nobody wants" The
White river has been the scourge
of a large region of King and
Pierce counties for decades with
its abrupt rises from Mount
Rainer's melting snow.
The dam, originally sched-
uled to be the worlds largest
earth fill dam, was scheduled to
cost between $4,000, 900 and S.
600, 900 in Federal funds. The
revisions to q rock-fill and other
changes have boosted the cost
to what engineers estimate at
close to $10,000,000, but no re-
vised figures have been releas-
ed.
It will be 800 feet across the
gorge at the bottom and about
700 feet at the top.

MY husband and l had been
having trouble. He thought I'd
left him, and he lost his head,
went home to find out whether
I'd really gone. Whatever he's
done has been my fault, too. I
must share the blame"
The commanding officer eyed
her with frosty wisdom. "Unfor-
tunately, Madam, the Army has
no jurisdiction over wives" He
leaned forward, softening lit
tie. IF women could only get
it through their heads that most
mems attitude depends to a
tragic extent on the attitude of
their wives! Madam, it was your
duty, as a soldiers wife, to see

spired in his solemn job of
training-not distracted. 1t was
your duty to encourage him, to
be enthusiastic, loyal, proud OF
his having assumed the duties
of a citizen soldier!"
Martha's eyes fell. Two spots

No words came.
Madam, our country has de-
manded far greater sacrifices
from its men than the mere gift

have died, and died gladly, for
the glory of our nation. And
their wives have been proud

smile! Without brave women,
we could never have brave men.

He rose abruptly. The inter-
view was closed. II shall try to

She did not know, when she
drove out of the camp, how long
it would be before she could
return. She did not know what
they would do with Bill nor
what his punishment would con-
sist of. But whatever it is,
we'll take it," she thought.
We'll take it with a SMILE"
A WEEK later, Martha was
driving into that camp once
more. She was being allowed to
visit Bill in the guardhouse for
the first time. He still had two
months to serve. But when she
saw him, she realized anew how
tiny the punishment was, how
CALAMITY he was enduring it.
ooh, Martha, it's so good to
see you!"
"Darling!" She was close in
his arms. I'm so happy! Even
though you're here, and I'm

THE BEST CONSCRIPT'S
WIFE
CHAPTER xxx

"MARTHA!" Bill cried husk-
lily. Martial"
He darted forward as she
swayed. His strong arm steadied
her and his blue eyes looked
down into hers with concern
and a quick, pleading humility.
For the split-second that faint
ness overcame her, she knew a
sharp, leaping relief-a relief
almost uncomfortable in its &C.
stasy. She chung to him, seeing
in that one look the new hag-
gardness of his face, the shamed
uncertainty in his eyes.
But in the next moment, she
was pushing him away. She was
standing straight and rigid, the
anger and despair which had
whipped her on through the
dreadful hours making her lips
tighten and her voice hard.
where were you all this
time? Don't you know we've
been looking for you? I almost
went out of my mind. Paul had

ooh, Bill, don't start that

in love with him, I didn't 60
back to him.
Suddenly all the anger left
her, the passionate desire to
convince him. "Oh, never mind,
Bill. That doesn't matter now.
Do you know you're deserter?
You've got to get back to camp
quickly! You must do every
thing you can to make them
60 easy on you"
1--WE made a dreadful mess
of things" he admitted morose-
ly. II guess it's too late" @.
mo! 1t isn't too late! Oh,
Bill, get into the car with me.
You drive, please. Drive fast!
Well get to camp, I'll speak to
the commanding officer. Per-
haps they-they're not so heart
less after all. :"
He laughed shortly. "Our
troubles don't concern them.
Discipline is all they care
about"
"And they're right! You
should never have done it. No
matter what happened, your
first duty was to the Army"
Duty" he said. cts their ia

cts a big word, Bill. A SOL

AS she sat there beside him,
while the old car strained over
the road, Martha thought of the
guardhouse where she had
found him last Sunday. Would
this being absent without leave
mean a longer term in the
guardhouse? More severe pun
