FIotuIence Has Many Causes,

being gaseous. but in questioning
5oO patients with ilatalence about
the foods which they thought
caused it, liinshaw found very
little agreement. The one most
often blamed was onions. Then in
order Of frequency. cooked cab
bage, raw apples, radishes, dried
beans, curumbers. milk, fatty or
rich foods. melons, caulifiower,
chocolate, coffee, lettuce, peanuts,
eggs, oranges, tomatoes, straw
berries.
1t is probable that if y person
becomes bloated due to eating
some particular food, he is allcr-
glc 10 that food. II is not by any
means always the indiyestible
foods that cause gas. but often
such mild ones as milk and eggs,
which have fine reputation IN
the sick room.
Causes of Attacks
Many minor upspts in bcalth
cause attacks of gas. Nervous
people who get upset suffer for il
by day OF two of gassinesS. In
some of my friends, the onset of
cold is hcralded by gassy DAYS.
Pain brings it on and. VIGOROUSLY,
any upset in the gallbladdcr does
also.
Treatment depends OIL hndins
the cause and eliminating Il. But
in most cases the cure comes when
the patient is made to realize that
ii is not serious, is not the Sign
Of anything.

ed B. b. Twombley, who lives in

gent, Carlin, Identifies the body,
and the insurance money is paid
to TwOmbley. But Jerry Glidden
is not satisfied. He believes there
is something wrong and suspects
that Slim was murdered. Con-
WINGED that he is right, Jerry goes
to Albany. Arriving there, he
learns that Carlin has left for a
vacation in Maine. Jerry then goes
to Doncaster, Pay Sims birth
place. He finds an Angela Slim

One train more: Ten miles, to
Americas. Then a motor bus.
Ironburg wasn't burg; it was
few scattered frame houses, in
need of paint, grouped about a
general store. Jerry, suitcase in
hand, was the first passenger to
descend. He hurried through the
doorway.
A blackened counter, with bar
rels of sugar, coffee and dried
fruit in front of it; upon it.;
smoked hams under wire-net

present.
"Yes?"
"Good morning. II was look
ing for Miss Slinn," stammered
Jerry, "and now they tell me she's
she's the other one"
'Not here"
do you know where I can find
herr"
"At her place I guess. She's
always there when she isn't here.
and she's only here when she feels
like it."
'Do you happen to know wheth-
er she ever lived in Doncaster?"
The girl behind the counter
looked at him sharply. "Is this
an unexpected inheritance or Just
an old bill?"
''It isn't either"
''Then you'd better ask Angie"
Jerry inquired the way and
wished it took longer to tell.
Cant I sell you something's"
Miss Walker demanded.
What could he buy? He did
want to prolong this interview.
= got in some first rate pep
per mint stick last night"
She was laughing at him. He
LETT her and started out to pay a
call on Angela Slim.
A cloudless day and peaceful.
The empty turnpike ran between
woodlands where the oaks and
button-woods were green and
where the blackbirds sang.
Jerry turned off along a desig-
mated bypath. It had been a road,
but it was overgrown, and the
trees met above it. For an hour
he followed it, then came out upon
a landscape Of an entirely new
character.
Desolate, Hassler had used the
right word-desolate even under
this summer sun.
Between black hills spread a
wide lakeland. Something over
there that looked like long alb
andoned quarries. Here were the
Last ruins of a few frame houses,
too dilapidated to invite rat.
No other token of human hab-
itation save one distant hut
scarcely better than these.
The other hut stood perhaps
half a mile off, beside a thick
plantation of pines, the only tress
that could take root here.
Angela's house was rooted by
taxpayer, and it's sides were made
of laths and clay. How anybody
could inhabit it during the winter,
Glidden couldn't surmise. 1t was
about thirty feet long by twenty
wide, had no windows and con-
tanned, certainly, not more than
one room.
AS Jerry walked across to it,
not sign of life was visible.
There was, as Hassler had said,
a kitchen garden around ia
rather ailing kitchen garden-and
a stovepipes issued from one wall
and mounted skyward
But nobody was in the garden,
and no smoke rose from that i'm
provised chimney.
There was a door, of sorts, on
the farther side. He tried it. It
even had some kind of lock, and
the lock was in use.
''Now them" said Jerry ironical-

people around here seemed to
like the morning started with a
yield plentiful and high grade.
Then the Philadelphians quietly
unloaded, and Phineas Walker, a
rich man for those times, used
nearly all his fortune to buy in.
II can guess the answer" said
Jerry.
Precisely. The quality of the
ore became useless for industrial
purposes. The mine was flooded,
too; a mysterious lake appeared,
bottomless, folks said, without in
let of outlet. Then the inevitable,
a receivership with nothing to re-
ceive except Walkers beautifully
engraved stock certificates, and
no money to redeem them. WAL
ker died of a broken heart.

Granddaughter. An orphan.

her mother. When she grew up,
there was just enough money to
buy the store, and she bought it.
congressman Plasius, down to
Doncaster, got her the p.o. She's
a smart girl; she's doin fine ;"
Hassler wandered on to other
and less interesting topics; hard
hotel times, the heat. This was
the districts driest summer in
thirty years.
His guest pulled himself up
short. What was the success max
i'm? 'The boss business is your
business" Especially when he's
trying to fire you! what" ask
ed Jerry, "about this Slim wo-
mani"
"Oh, Angie just helped Rosie
tend store now an then. Lived
rent free, in a Walker shack out
around that old ore mine"
"Does Mrs. SLIM"
Miss Anyways, so she calls
herself. And then jes' look at
her"
Jerry couldn't, luckily, as An
gela Slim had gone indoors. But
he quite realized she wasn't the
sort men marry.
Lives alone?"
'Nopody else'd live there. It's
awful desolate like. Jes' that there

"Any relations?"
''Neffer heard tell O. none. She
don't pelong here. We don't know
we're she's from, she's that close
mouthed. She talks like Rosie
or you"-Hassler consulted the re-
gister that Jerry had just signed,

when did she come here?"
'Fife year. ago-mebbie six"
Of course there was not one
chance in a thousand that this
creature should turn out to be a
near relative of the deceased Jo-
seph. In his application for in
surance he had written himself
down as an only child, and any
discovered lies in that application
would invalidate the policy.
Nevertheless, there appeared to
be some mystery about her. She
was Slim; Doncaster, where
Joseph had said he was born, lay
not too far away, and, finally, she
was the sole clue to information
obtainable.
Jerry must somehow find out
more about the dead mani before
he took up the beneficiary's trail.
For this reason alone had he come
to Pennsylvania.

Veterans of past wars are en-

state of Washington, according to
Glenn F. Holcomb, Commander of

is being handled by the Veterans
under the leadership of Past De-
partment Commander Walter L.

Production Density
Wins e Award For
Boeing Aircraft

Boeing Aircraft Company of Sc
attic, which received the first joint
Army-Navy Production "E' award
of the aircraft industry, earned
this honor by producing Flying
Fortresses consistently on or
ahead of production schedules.
This outstanding production rec
ord was achieved by the applica-
ton of Production Density"
which means making the most eff
ficient and greatest possible use
of manufacturing facilities so that
the plant is a compact integrated
unit. This eliminates over-expan-
sion of plant facilities, and results
in the conserving of vital strategic
building materials.
Boeings system of production is
both original and amazingly SIM
pie. An aircraft of any kind, COM
plete with wings, occupies a con-
siderable amount of space With a
wing spread of more than 1O4
feet, and a body of over seventy
feet, Boeing BIZ occupies about
one-third the space of a regula-
ton football field.
Instead of an elongated assem-
bly, line, Boeing uses very short
final assembly process.

Birth Certificates Not
Essential In War Work

Birth certificates to prove AM

want jobs in plants where work on
secret or confidential Government
contracts is being done will no
longer be required, according to
Paul V. McNutt, War Manpower
Chairman.
A new procedure developed joint

said, calls for merely simple de-
claration that the applicant for a
