many cannot use the broad Vardar
river gateway in south Jugoslavia
for an attack upon Greece.
However, there was nothing to
keep Germany from using the VAR

men, thus avoiding undue conges-

Bulgaria.
II was indicated Britain would
not break off diplomatic relations
with Jugoslavia, thus placing that
country in much the same status
as Hungary with which Britain
still maintains normal relations de-
spite the transit through Hungary
of the huge German Balkan army

Balancing the apparent decision
to maintain relations was a warm

given Jugoslavia that she would
attack the Germans wherever they

But IL certainly is true that
ulcer of the stomach is a recur-
rent disease and people may
have symptoms from their ulcers
particularly in the Spring and
Fall and be quite comfortable
in the Winter and Summer for
several years, until finally the
ulcer ceases to trouble.
PERFECTLY NATURAL
This is perfectly natural be-
cause changes Of seasons bring
about changes in the pace of
life and involve mental and
physical stresses. The ulcer pa
tient, however, may take COM
fort in the fact that even when
these symptoms recur they are
quite as easy to control as they
were at the beginning in practi-
cally all cases.
What are the causes of ulcer
of the stomach and duodenum?
Why do they recur? What is
the nature of an ulcer?
An ulcer anywhere in the body
is in a mucous membrane and
is a solution of continuity of the
membrane. 1t is usually round
or oval. so it is. therefore. a
round, punched-out hole in the
mucous membrane, which ex-

ness? That was the evening
Myrna couldn't do a thing but
ask him for supper. since he'd
presented her with a large box
of candy and limited for
home cooked meal.
No matter what-you were
forced to admit. he'd always
been swell with the kid. After
the plates were cleared off the
table that night, he'd spent
maybe an hour or more teach
ing Little Bob how to work
the camera he'd brought along.
1t was a new invention-an
"Amko" Bronson called it.
You could use ii without
anybody knowing. because ii
wasn't much bigger than a
dime.
But just the same Bronson
boosted every detail came out
on your engagements. 1t
seemed the Darlington people
hoped to sell it to news
photographers.
WON'T NEED 1T
Bronson had ended by leav-
ing the Amko behind, plus a
box of film.
IT'S one of my demon
strators," he'd shrugged his
shoulders, 81 won't be need
ing 10 for a while. You and
the yOungster might as well
be having fun with it,"
Bob tried to remember how
long they'd had the camera
before Bronson finally came
TO the point of what he'd
really -Mante all along.
Namely snaps of the new
bomber that the plant was
assembling for h JPN ent
abroad.
"I'll pay $4,000 for Them"
Bronson had stated CURLY with
a flick of his cigar.
That's a lot of money in
anybody's language - enough
to pay off your mortgage on
the house and Myrna's hos
pital BILL he'd dryly re-
marked. Only now did Bob
wonder how Bronson knew so
much about his pers onal
affairs. Evidently it was part
of his work to find out such
things.
Bob hadn't answered him.
get wise to yourself, kid"
Bronson had continued. IF
you don't do IL, I'll easily find
somebody else for the job, so
il might as well be you. Who'll
know? The AmkOs are so
small, they're fool proof as far
as detection Is concerned"
Yesterday-it seemed years
ago-he'd taken the pictures
of the bomber. He didn't
know why, but somehow he'd
wanted the relief of not feel
ing the Amko on his person
after he'd got home. and 'be-
fore going into the kitchen
to talk to Myrna and eat.
he'd thrown the Amko on the
parlor table.
Tonight on his way home
from work he'd given the films
to Harry Bronson, who'd gone
to meet him in his jaloppy.
Tomorrow he was supposed TO
receive his $1,000 in cash.
But he had no intention of
accepting the money. The
instant he'd handed the snaps
over. he'd known. deep in his
heart. he'd never 60 through
with the deal and be a traitor
TO everything he'd stood for
all his life.
But il was too late TO go
back now all the way for
Bronson had the pictures,
even if he didn't intend ac-
cepting the money.
He'd allow himself one more
night with Myrna-the last
for years-and then he'd give
himself up and take what was
coming to him.

hair her eyes even her
