Shortage in Scripts

Even with the actors off 10
the wars, so that we confront
the prospect of elderl. juveniles,
the worst shortage now, as al
ways, is in scripts. There are to
be new plays by S. N. Behrman.
Maxwell Anderson, Philip Barry
and Thornton Wilder.
We are TO have, within the
first few weeks of the new sea-
son. such stars as the Lunts,

sounds fine as a beginning.
There Is no reason why the
theater should not prosper in
war time. AS in peace, all IL
needs TO do is to find the
entertainment the public wants.
From all reports the London
theaters are doing excellent
business. AS matter of fact,
Broadway is better off now
than II was this time last year,

in Ireland the bogs seld"m are
more than 20 feet deep
If we wish to explain a peat bog,
we may do so largely by the fact
that plants often grow in ponds
and other bodies of water. If the
plants keep growing up and dying,
they may at length fill pond or
lake.
Rushes and reeds are among the
bog plants" but different kinds Of
moss are the most important. Bog
MOSES take root. one layer over an

Scientists tell us that Well-done
peat has had life of thousands and
thousands of years. Yet it is not
nearly so old as coal. Perhaps a
million years would be needed for a
bed of peat to turn into a bed of
coal.
Most peat bogs are in the tenn
perate zones. Scotland, England
and Wales have many of them. and
so does Russia. Russia has far more
peat land than Ireland, about II
times as much. but the Russians do
not use it for fuel to such degree
as the Irish. In year Ireland
turns out about 100000 tons of air
dried peat.
The peat bog spades used in Ire
land are known as "slanes." They
have long, narrow blades which are
turned up at one corner. The slabs
of peat are staked in a way which
allows the sunshine and al" to get
at them, and dry them. They are
turned around several times in the
period of 10 days commonly allowed
for drying.
When peat is dug up. it is about
four-fifths water. When we'll dried
a slab of it is much smaller thar
when it is fresh.
There are few peat bogs in the
torrid zone. Where heat is ex-
treme, water plants rot much faster
and peat does not form.
Canada has some huge peat bogs
and so does the United States, but
the peat in them is little used fol
fuel Dismal Swamp, in Virgins
and North Carolina, contains large
amount of peat.

First thing was to check up on
Mitchell-the type of man, how re-
sponsible he was, and so on. Well,
while we were doing that we got
word of his murder. So that seemed
to indicate pretty thorough investi-
cation was needed. I drew the de-
tail.
"While over in Soledad getting the
lay of the land, heard of the other
two deaths. That clinched it. The
next step was to get in here on the
ground, ferret out what was going
on"
''Is that what you were doing,
shopping around the docks at Tenn
pujo tonight?" Curt chuckled. "What
did you think you could learn
there?"
Listen, man." retorted Collins in
huff, 81 couldn't just walk in here,
look around, and ask questions. /
had to get established first, so as to
be accepted. You've planted me up
river where there's obviously Moth
ing to see. I've had one definite
objective since our plane faxed
trouble the other day, but it's at
San Alejo. Meanwhile, until I can
get to it, there's no harm looking
around where can"
"Okay, okay," Curt apologized.
"No offense. Well give you crack
at that objective right now. Mitch
ell wasn't hitting the pipe. I've been
smelling trouble myself for the two
weeks I've been here, but only to-
night did ! click on it."
He told Collins the story Montaya
had given him about the hangers
first built, later abandoned to stor-
age purposes because the flyers
pointed out the bad location.
He told of the boxed airplane
wings he'd seen the day of his ar
rival.
"I know" put in Collins enigmat-
ically. 81 had a talk with the men
of that plane when they put down at
Puerto Soledad."
Curt grunted and went on. He
told of MitchelPs rising suspicious
over a shipment from Japan-or
through Japan, he added-of eight
long, square-end boxes. Heavy
boxes, like overstuffed collins, Mon
ahan had told him.
He told of having seen only yester-
day another pair of big, heavy
square boxes marked generators,
from Germany via Vladivostok. So

hundred feet beyond the limits of the
town, Curt stepped up the pace but
didn't yet use the motor.
Cant risk it," he srunted.
Sound carries over these flats"
Not until full kilometer from
Tempujo did Curt speak again.
"Okay. Starter on this car wines
pretty loud. Keep pushing and I'll
switch on the engine. It'll catch.
Then hop in and we're off,"
Curt didn't open the car wide.
The engine was smooth enough, but
iron wheels on iron rails in this still
night air rang alarmingly loud to
men who needed silence. Further,
in running without lights at high
speed over an uneven roadbed, even
snake unseen on the track might
derail them.
Under way, Collins turned to Curt
in the seat beside him. ''I've fol-
lowed blind so far. Where are we
headed?"
Curt chuckled mirthlessly. "The
one spot you want above all to Wis
it." After a moment, "We better
have it out, Collins. Suppose we

Eyes. That's the reason was
sent. Mitchell limited in his letter
at Nazi movement here which
would endanger the Canal, and he
wanted someone sent to confirm
some serious discoveries he'd made
and take action.
''But the letter was so involved
and guarded and vague that we
thought it crank stuff. We get more
of that than you'd suppose. Never
theless, we put out some feelers.
No matter how wild the yarn that
comes in, we can't ditch it in the

Naturally we have some pretty
good sources of information here and

Insulate Attic, Save

A war bond can be purchased this
winter from the money you can save
on the fuel bill by insulating the
attic. The attic is the most vulner-
able spot in the house; insulating it
will make the house even tempera-
tured throughout. A small hot-heat-
ed house can be made into a larger,
and neutrality-suspicious. home by
turning the attic into an extra room
by insulating colorkote boards which
insulate the attic as they convert 1t
into a room.
