developing from the Arctic
AleutIsns TO the Solomons
1000 miles south Of the
Equator.
Exploits of marine landing
forces the last few days have
been such AS TO bring thrills
of pride 10 the hearts Of all
patriotic Americans.
:. A fortnight ago the first
attack on Tulagi in the Solo,
mons blazed in the headlines.
Early in the present week
Maxim, Nipponese fortress
island far to the north. was
successfully raided by force
of which Maj. James Roose-
welt, son Of the President, was
q member.
Eyewitness stories OF the
Solomon Islands campaign are
IN the spotlight.
seeALL THESE operations
were completely successful,
accomplishing their predeter-
mined missions TO the full.
Plans prepared in advance
worked like clockwork with
out hitch or error.
In each case the enemy re-
sisted desperately to The end,
without giving or asking
quarter.
But in every instance the
Nipponese were met on their
own ground and defeated by
lighting marine organizations
that wrote new sagas Of hero
ism worthy of the history of
their corps.
This is gratifying but 1t was
to be expected.
Marines have been special
izing in island jumping for
162 years and are credited in
international military circles
with knowing more about its
intricacies than any other
body Of troops in the world.
Their recent performances
indicate that this reputation
IL well deserved.
SINCE, THE days Of the
Revolution American leather
necks have made more than
200 landings on hostile or po-
tentially hostile shores. an
average OF more than one a
year.
Some of these were accom-
plished by large forces. some
by small ones, but In each
instance lessons were learned.
and the marine corps, like the
elephant, never forgets.
INDISPENSABLE PART
NER in all these landings was
the navy.
From the days of wooden
ships the United States Navy
has practiced covering marine
landings with its big guns.

Quackenbush beat it over to New

He showed Ed the check he had
gotten and Ed showed him one 10

"You think we could get him
to give us another tip?"
"Mr. Thompson never gives
tips" answered Ed. That's the
secret of his success. He oper-

Ed knew what was coming next
and allowed Phanm to persuade
him to call Thompson again.
They turned in their $500 checks
and got Thompson's promise TO in
vest the money for them.
$4,000 CHECK NEXT
1t paid off five to one. with
Phamm getting check for $1,000.
The check was good, of course,
but il represented every dollar Ed

Sure enough, good old j.. r.
Thompson was staying at the

Ed and Phamm went up to his
suite, gave him back the pocket
book, were told that IL contained
papers worth millions and were
offered the cash as a reward for
honesty.
Ed turned 1t down, Of course,
and Phamm almost fell down.
Then Thompson insisted he just
had to do something for them
and asked Ed for his name and
that Of his friend.
Well, that sunk the hook right
behind Brother Phamm's putting
cheeks.
He probably thought Ed was
crazy. But, without fully real
izing IL, he believed he was
honest.
Only an honest man would
refuse that money for returning a
