in the sun by the swimming pool? You
told him you were going TO have a
baby and he was so excited he Jumped
up and fell backwards into the pool.
Remember for just a few GREATNESS,
intimate moments you two were alone
in the world and his mother was shut
out? He held you close and you laughed
into each others eyes and as you kissed,
water dripped from his hair into your
ear.
Later when his mother came home
and had to be told you didn't mind at
all when she said it was pity you had
to start having your family SO soon.
You didn't mind because you thought
then you were going to have a bond
with Leonard she couldn't share. Then
you began to demand things and you
got them, too. You got your own home.
Later you knew your mother-ln-laW
had been very smart when she an
nounced she had bought you the cum
ningeSt little house in the Hollywood
hills" You found out what she already
knew that Leonard couldn't live in the
cunning little house. She knew he had
been used to stretching his long legs
mated by the big old house he'd al
ways loved. He said he couldn't under
stand why you wanted to tuck him into
a trap. as he called it, meaning that
breakfast room with its gay chintz cur
tains and the canary birds singing in
the sun.
More and more you began to use the
little white house with the yellow trim
only as a sleeping place. Leonard found
excuses to go home, as his mother knew
he would, to see his dogs and horses.
He wanted to stroll through the mag
nificent gardens. He never realized how
dear the old house was until you
dragged him out of it. What could you
offer him in compensation but your
desperate love and it wasn't enough?
That first Christmas you knew when
he nonchalantly took it for granted
that you were going to spend Christ
mas with mother With twist of pain
wreaths you'd made into the fire and
the silly little Christmas tree down the
hill behind the house.
Remembering so hard she hadn't no.
ticed the people had settled down and
everyone was still until she looked up
and saw the judge coming in. The ball

you to use to get help. You considered
swimming ashore, although it was a
longer distance than you'd ever gone
but you didn't dare leave Joan alone
on the boat with that man. You didn't
know what he might do. There was
nothing to do but sit and wait. You
wouldn't even bother getting food for
yourself because you didn't want 10
go below where he was any oftener
than you had to.
You made a bed for Joan on the
canvas deck chair and sheltered her
from the wind by hanging blankets
over ropes. Even that was used against
you. They'd thought you didn't want
to bother with the baby while you were
entertaining Tubby down below. Twice
you woke Joan up shouting through
the megaphone trying to get the at
tention OF the people on the boat lying
half mile away but the wind was
against YOU and they didn't hear your
voice. Waiting. waiting while the hours
dragged on. Your nerves so taut when
you heard Leonards voice you wanted
to laugh and cry, but instead you tried
to control yourself because you never
liked to let Tanner see you off guard.
She was as braZen as you please
and when her husband asked her what
Mr.. Swain was doing down there she
said. flippant like. that anybody could
see he was sleeping. or hear him for

so vividly.
He asked her for some explanation
and she drew herself up and tried to
bluff it out but"
I object to this woman trying to
explain what my client was doing"
shouted J. Burlington Gray.
He's like a rooster ruffling his feath-
erS. Marion thought. Maybe he was
right when he told you that Tubby
didn't just come out to the Julie-Ann
accidentally. Maybe the little rooster
was right when he said the fine hand
in guiding Tubby's drunken footsteps.
But not Leonard. Oh no he'd never
make her believe Leonard had anything
to do with that. But why had he been
so quick to believe the worst OF her?
Why had he taken the baby off the
boat that night and left her without
a chance to explain things to him

Of Nurse Tanner he'd said coldly. I
guess she knows more about this whole
business than ever will"
"Oh, don't be so silly" you told him.
I'll discuss this with you some other
time If you don't mind I'd like you to
discharge that woman at once. won't

Instead of answering to your aston
ishment. he ordered Tanner to get the
baby dressed and put her in the
dinghy.
I'll be relieved if you don't come
back to the house" he said to you. I'll
have your things sent to any hotel you
name"
You didn't speak to him again. There
wasn't anything you could say. At
least. nothing you could think Of at
that moment. Later as you sat shiver-
ing on the deck, words rushed off your
tongue. Burning, cruel words, pleading
words, furious words, but he never

U. S. PRODUCTION

A few months ago, when the gov.
eminent was talking OF an air
plane production program of 10000
planes a year the figure was con-
sidered visionary. No nation had
ever built planes anywhere near
so fast as that even Germany with
its years OF preparation and its
plans TO dominate the world. Now

ners are talking OF 10000 planes a
year, nearly three times as much.
So war planning spreads and
swells as the danger enlarges and
presses closer And so rapid has
been the building and multiplied

armament, in the last few months,
that no cautious expert is likely to
say now what the possible produc-
ton limit may be. When a great
manufacturing nation like ours goes
all out there are no standards
for comparison.

BURNING IEANEs

One OF the most curious signs of
spring is the smoke from burning
leaves. So many people seem TO
think they have TO burn up all the
leaves left from last year. And
many also think they have to burn
off the dead grass in gardens and
lawns
The reasons usually given are
that this process makes everything
look heater and that injurious in.
sects are destroyed. There is some
thing to that. hut probably less
than most people suppose.
Many gardeners insist, very rea.
sonably, that It is a pity to burn up
the leaves. because they make good
fertilizer. Indeed. this is the only
fertilizer that some Of them use.
Last years leaves can be spaded
under, or piled up and left 10 decay
for another year.
This is Natures own method. It's
dead leaves that make woodland
soil so fertile.

becomes involved in trouble with
still another one.
It's easy to understand why the
Japs desired. this promise from
Russia. They're at war with China
already and their relations with
the United States are badly
strained. In so precarious a state
of affairs, they obviously must have
been anxious for a guarantee that
the additionally anti-Japanese
Russians wouldn't jump them, at a
critical moment, from their rear.
Russia's Position
Russia, though, had no particu-
lar reason for giving such pledge.
The surnise is that Herr Hit
Ter put some sort Of pressure on
Comrade Stain to sign on the dot
ted line. Stains afraid Of Hitler,
Of course. The supposition is that
Adolf bluffed him into compliance.
But didn't Adolf exact price,
in return, from Japan? Adolfs
aim manifestly is to get the Japs
TO move on Britain's Singapore
and the Dutch East Indies and
maybe Australia, New Zealand and
the Philippines, thus dragging
them into a fight with us, and dis
tracing us from aid-to-Britain.
So Adolfs counted on, in jig
time, to order the mikado to go
ahead with his southeastern seas
program, starting the German-de-
sired rumpus. But Japan, from all
reckoning won't dare to comply.
The Japs are nearly played out
fighting the Chinese. They'll still
have them on their hands, plus the
United States and probably plus
Russia, regardless Of the Russo
Jap neutrality pact, which Joe Sta
lin certainly won't care a boot for
any longer than he has to. It'll
be UP to Toxic, then, TO tell Adolf
that it simply can't do what he de-
mands.

the object of treasured collection
by book collectors of all kinds,
particularly in the history Of medi-
cine. .One-Gerarde's Herbal-is
often praised as an example Of
sixteenth century English prose
and will be found mentioned in
most histories Of English litera-
ture.
II is easy to see why in primi-
tive days these books were treas
ured. | am speaking now of two
or three hundred years ago when
most of our ancestors lived in the
country and wild plants that they
found were regarded as objects of
reverence and awe. Many super
stitionS grew up around them, as
around the mandrake. They were,
of course, useful, but this depend
ed on a considerable knowledge Of
their qualities. In all primitive
countries herbals are found, even
among the Aztec Indians.
In an old Chinese herbal, dated
about 1899, there is the first rep
resentation we have of the ba-
mana plant. The Chinese used the
banana for many purposes, which
were strictly medicinal and not I
dietetic. Curiously enough, they
used it in all states Of depletion I
and in convalescence from long i'll
nesses, and although they did not
know it, the properties of the ba-
mana are very well adapted for
these purposes. In all such condi-
tons, no matter what the cause,
a high calorie, high vitamin diet
is indicated, and this must also in
clude food that is easy to digest.
Bananas, when fully ripe, meet all
these requirements. They are very
nutritious and their palatability,
for one reason, makes them very
digestible.
As far as vitamin content is
concerned, there are vitamins A,
b, c and G to a considerable ex-
tent in bananas.
