etc. And each morning before day
break he shrewdly had his men pillow
the whole field to eliminate those
tell-tale truck tracks, outwitting the
eagle-eyed cameras to the end!
Indeed, the race between conceal
ment and detection is just as nip and
tuck as the rivalry between armor
and armament, between construction
and destruction. And the whole strug-
gle is epitomized by the career of the
Engineers - those lads who are just
as handy with machine gun or a
rifle as they are with a pneumatic
drill or a turret lathe.
Nothing stumps them because they
don't seem to savvy the word. 1t is
automatic, for instance, that railroads
can't be built in northern winters.
But last winter the Engineers got
rush order to lay ffty-eight miles of
standard-gauge track into the Fort
Peck dam site in Montana - and
with the mercury hovering around
thirty-five degrees below zero most of
the time, they had the job finished by

ually to the peak of the object and
down again on all sides. Properly
colored and garnished with clay, sod
or branches of foliage. this device can
be effective for small objects but
can't be applied to everything. For
instance, three-and-a-half ton truck
would require drape of $50 feet
across to wipe out its shadows - and
that isn't practical when you have
trucks by the thousand.
Another maddening problem for
the camoufeurs is tracks. "One trip
across the grass" an officer said,
will leave track visible almost from
the stratosphere - even though you
can't see it on the ground" A fine
example of thinking of everything was
provided by the battery commander
on maneuvers whose gun was we'll

MIRACLE MEN OF THE ARMY
Continued from poge four

shops, and an aggregation of road

in numbered sections, bowling along
the highway at thirty miles an hour
- or a ne-and-a-half-ton truck go
whizzing by with a load of dozen
assault boats neatly nested inside of
one another. For, in case forgot to
mention it, the Engineers are the
Army's navy. so to speak, each COM
bat battalion carrying several dozen
boats along with it's other parapher-
nalia.' And pretty neat boats, too,
from the practical angle.
After numerous tests, the Army
discarded the Germans pneumatic
boats and adopted the present rigid
assault boat, propelled by paddles
instead of oars (the former being sim
pier and quieter). saw eleven green
men, with full equipment, pile into one
of these scows and paddle across the
racing Chattahoochee River with the
greatest of ease - stunt that would
have been well-nigh impossible for
inexperienced boatmen in an ordinary
craft that size.
You can also include in the Engi-
neers' inventory an ambitious assort-
ment of mining tools for tunneling
operations another of their chores.
Among this equipment is the uncanny
geophone: an instrument with a tele-
phone headset with which an expert
can tell you whether or not the enemy
is engaged in any tunneling in that
vicinity. Not only that, but he'll tell
you how far away they are; the direc-
ton in which they're digging; whether
they are knocking out timbers, strut
ting. dragging in materials - or just
resting on their shovels!
INT. Artists
Ibis tunneling business, inciden-
tally. brings up the point that while
the Engineers are foremost builder
uppers, they are also first-rate
knocker-downers. Demolition is
speciality of theirs. and in your mod
ern ammunition train you'll find
stable cargo of dynamite and TINT.
for the Engineers along with the safer
ammunition for the Artillery.
At the drop of a hat, however, these
versatile lads will forsake their roles
as beavers or moles and become
hawks, climbing into the clouds with
some Air Corps pilot to inspect still
another of their crafts, camoufage.
With all the rolling stock of modern
army, and with aerial photography at
its present efficiency (both night and
day., concealment is both more diff
cult and more essential than ever.
The upshot is that, for the man with
the proper technical background, the
camoufeur's field is probably the
widest-open for advancement in the
Army today.
Judging by the aerial photographs
I've seen, the Engineers do some
marvellous parlor magic with camou-
fage. An important part of the COM
plicated camouaage technique is to
eliminate shadows of objects on the
ground - for shadows on aerial pho
tographs can betray otherwise skill

RAISE NUMBER
OF INSURED
Annual Rate of Federal Fam
lily Insurance Payments
Rise to S11,50S
691 PERSONS ON ROLLS

In the first Is months of opera
tions on monthly payment basis,
the annual rate of Federal family
insurance payments in Kent county
rose to SSH, sos. This figure was
computed last week by Roger R.
Minker, manager of the Whining
ton office of the Social Security
Board, on the basis of statistics
just received from the office of
Regional Director William L. Dill,
in Philadelphia. The sum reflected
insurance in force as of March 81
1941, under the old-age and sur
vivors insurance program of the
Social Security Act. 1t did not in
clude any of the public assistance
allowances under Federal-State
programs. In Kent county, 60
men, women and children were re-
ceiving monthly checks amounting
to 1859 at the end of March. The
figures are growing daily as more
workers retire or die, Mr.. Minker
said. A total of 691 men, women
and children in Delaware were on
the rolls on the last day of March
of this year for monthly benefits
amounting to $12,385. These were
divided as follows: 393 retired
wage earners, $8,223.OO; 1O7 aged

cidents. In her spare moments
away from the typewriter she is
also given to dramatization. Her
circle of friends which include such
people as Noel Coward, Louis
Bromfield, Moss Hart and William
Allen White, will tell you that of
all the personal problems in the
world, hers are the direst. No hap
pening is too inconsequential to be
dynamited into calamity.
After years of travel, Miss Ferber
settled down on a Connecticut estate
to write her biography, "A Peculiar
Treasure" in 1888. The house, Drut-
man writes, is filled with the fur
niture she has collected for twenty
five years and has carpet in which
you sink up to your ankles. In con-
trast with the luxury of the other
rooms is the den in which she works.
1t is monastic and stark. 1t has a
typewriter, which she uses like a
shovel, and an old roll top desk.
Here she works all morning, all
afternoon, interrupting her work
only for short walks. She is gen.
ierous with praise and with money,
but not with her time. That she
guards jealously and doles out at
spaced intervals, Drutman confdes.
For with her, writing is not a pro-
fession but 4 necessary function.

dependent children, $500; 122 de-
pendent children, under age 18, ST.
564, and 8 dependent parents, aged
65 or older, $50.
Mr.. Minker urged all widows who
have not already done so to inquire
concerning possible benefits for
themselves and their children, pro-
vided their husbands died after the
last day of 1889 and had worked in
employment coverel by the old-age
AMI survivors insurance provisions
of the Social Security Act. He
pointed out that, in some instances,
widows have lost some of their pay
ments by failing to file claims
promptly.
There is no time-limit on filing
widows claims," Mr.. Minker said
'but there is three-month limit
on back payments. Thus, if a
widow waits more than four
months after her husbands death
to file claim, she will lose some
monthly payments if she is entitled
to such payments. That happens
occasionally, and we desire to pre-
vent this wherever possible. Our
office is in position to give any
widow full information and assist
ance on claims, and we welcome in
quiries in person, by mail or by
telephone" ;.

|LIMABEAN CROP
EXPECTED BIG
Lower Delaware Canneries
Start Packing This Week
With Indications Good
PIONEERS OF COUNTRY

Lower Delaware farmers this
season will produce one of the larg-
est crops of lima beans for canning
purposes in several years according
to present indications. Gamers al
ready are busy packing the crop.
Thousands of cases will be packed
throughout the eastern section of
lower Delaware within the next
four or five weeks. Whether the
Government will take over most of
the pack remains conjecture.
Most of the lima bean and tomato
packs, within recent years have
been taken over by brokers in the
large cities and in turn sold to
wholesalers. In many instances
large chain concerns have absorbed
a large per cent of the packs.
Whether this will prevail this sea-
son or not remains to be seen. The
eastern section of lower Delaware
is the pioneer section of the coun-
try in the packing of beans. The
industry had its beginning less
than quarter of a century ago in
the Milton area, eight miles north
east of Georgetown. 1t has grown
by leaps and bounds until today it
is one of the most profitable crops
grown by the farmers in the east
ern section of Sussex County.
Growing of beans is rapidly spread
ing to other sections and already
one Georgetown concern annually
packs many thousands of cases. 1t
is said that farmers of the western
section of the county may turn
their attention to bean culture,
whereas they specialize in growing
watermelons, cantaloupes, sweet
potatoes and cucumbers.

politan magazine, fired spark to-
further her dramatic talents. Flu
rious when her family impaired
the news that they couldn't afford
such training, she marched out in
a rage and got herself a job on the
Appleton Daily Crescent, and be-
came the first female reporter in
town. AS a girl reporter she did a
mans work, says the Drutman
article, covering the courthouse,
the main street, interviewing celeb
rites, all for the munifcent sum of
three dollars week.
After five years of journalism,
Miss Ferber's health broke, and bed
ridden, she started writing maga-
zine fiction, selling practically
everything she turned out. National
recognition was her lot, says Drut-
man, when she wrote the famous
Emma McChesney stories. Emma
was woman salesman, and her
adventures were the subject of
some thirty stories, always clam
ored for loudly by the public. The
literary lights soon took notice of
her when she published her third
novel "The Sisters. 1t traced three
generations of Chicago old maids,
caused a tremendous success (some
consider it to be her best york.
and set the stage for such best
sellers as $50 Big, "Show Boat,
"Cimmarron", "Come and Get IT.,
and the current Cosmopolitan Sc
rial Saratoga Trunk.
Now, in her early fifties, Edna
Ferber is short, rather handsome
woman, Drutman reports, with a
head of thick curled white hair
heavy-set brown eyes under a bold
brow and spectacularly creamy
complexion that is the envy of all
her female friends. A woman Of
tremendous mental vitality, she
puts lifetime of comedy, farce
and tragedy into each twenty-foul
hours. She is cognizant of hel
quirks and realizes that she
wouldn't be the colorful writer SHE
is without them.
Tricked by circumstances out o.
