College Grads
inBig Demand

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.-UP -
The war virtually has eliminated
the employment problem for gra-
duating male students of American
colleges and universities this year,
nationwide survey shows.
From 80 to 90 per cent OF the
male graduates of many schools
expect TO be in the armed services
by next fall and war industries and
government agencies are clamoring
for the others at record starting
salaries, according to the survey,
conducted by the Northwestern
National Life Insurance Co.
Graduates of engineering schools
will be able to take their pick of
from three TO ten offers each at
starting salaries $40 to $50 A
month higher than last spring.
Women Take Mems Jobs
Employment demand from civil
ian industry is generally down, the
company reported. with many ma
jor corporations which formerly
absorbed thousands OF graduates
into training courses each year
| disseminating such programs.
Most schools participating in the
survey. reported big increases in
employment opportunities for wo-
men graduates in positions for
merly considered the strict prov
ince Of men.
The almost universal report from
the 1866 colleges and universities
cooperating in the survey was:
'All graduates not entering the
armed services but seeking en-
ployment will be placed readily this
year"
Among the typical reports were:
From Columbia University -
Estimate IS per cent OF our men
graduates will enter military ser
vice
Want Engineers Most
From Yale University Forty
six per cent of present senior class
will enter military service. Expect
that all others will be employed
University OF Pittsburgh 49, De
mand for engineers up 80 per cent. -
University of Alabama - De
mand for engineering graduates at
least tripled with starting salaries
good % per cent higher"
University of Cincinnati-"Num-
Der OF employment calls largest in
our history. About half the senior
class will be commissioned in Navy
or Army"
University Of Washington-"Five
times as many calls for engineering
graduates with starting salaries 20
per cent above 1871 levels"

all the spotlight. From what I hear,
she is the sort Of person who likes
the center Of the stage all to her
self"
Aren't you talking in riddles ?"
libby suggested. She thought
Steena enjoyed dramatizing things
too much. She knew, Of course,
what she meant-that Mrs. Mer-
GER might be jealous Of the praise
Captain Mercer had bestowed on
Marg; some wives were like that,
about their husbands secretaries
or any other women who were
thrown into contact with them.
Maybe" Steena admitted. But
as I said before-I don't envy Marg
her new position as a heroine.
Sometimes it's wiser to keep out Of
the spotlight, you know. tried to
tell Marg that-when I told her she
ought not be seen with Captain
Mercer when off duty"
But that was only that one
time" libby objected.
That's what YOU think"
Steena retorted.
do you mean there has been
more TALK" libby remembered
what Steena had said about there
being a grapevine system that
spread all gossip around the field,
often distorting the bare truth by
embroidering it to much larger
proportions. Maybe Steena was not
imagining it all.
Il mean that Marg had darned
well better watch her step" II
Steena knew anything more def
mite than rumors, she evidently did
not mean to pass it on just then.
You will recall that I told her that
before. And that Marg lost her
temper. She may lose more than
that II she's not more careful. She's
very foolish girl to have ANY
THING to do with married man."
libby felt rather sick, because
she also felt certain that Steena did
know something or she would not
speak as she just had, with such
certainty "Marg has TO fly with
Captain Mercer" she defended her
friend as best she could. They are
scheduled for the same flights"
"Marg could ask for a change in
schedule" Steena said dryly. IF
she were half as smart as she
thinks she is, that's what she would
do"
libby did not make any COM
ment to that. II there were any
rumors floating around that could
be magnifed, or If Marg had been
seeing Captain Mercer when of
duty, even il there was some ex-
PLANTATION. that would be the wise
thing to do. II would be very fool
ish, as Steena had said, to continue
as hostess on the same flight sched-
ule, IL Marg or Captain Mercer
found they felt any personal inter-
est in one another. The company,
as Steena also had mentioned be-
fore, would not stand for Il. al
though that was not, to Tibby's
mind, the most important issue
Marg would get hurt again. for
nothing good could possibly come
from such an interest-only IN
happiness. possibly real tragedy.
However, she would not believe
any rumors. even II they reached
her in concrete form. She would be-
lieve in Marg herself and her good

common sense-if common sense
could be counted on when you feel
in love, If you could know, your
self, when that would happen.
libby told herself that she was the
one imagining and dramatizing
now. When Marg came home, lib
by would be treasured that every
thing was all right. Marg was so
straightforward and honest that
she could not be doing underhand-
ed things, even small ones like
breakfasting with Captain Mercer,
without a reasonable explanation;
she could not be interested in or in
love with someone without betray-
ing it.
libby took what comfort she
could out Of this, but she resolved,
Just the same, to let out some kind
Of hint that 1t might be just as well
for Marg to try to get a change
in her flying schedule. Maybe Marg
would not like it. She had lost her
temper that time when Steena had
done pretty much the same thing,
only Steena had lost hers, too.
libby would be more tactful, since
she was so very fond Of Marg and
would only be trying really to help
her, although maybe Marg did not
want help from anyone.
Certainly Marg did not look as II
she needed any, when she came
home. libby had never seen her
looking better, as If the narrowing
experience she had been through
had given her new vitality, as
though her role Of heroine en-
dowed her with a new radiance. Or
was it something else, something
that went much deeper, that gave
Marg this sort Of bloom, causing
her plain face to have come alive,
even her brown hair to hold sheen
Of loneliness?
1t is said, libby remembered,
that only a woman in love and be-
loved looks like that, since love
alone can add such luster, although
couldn't it come just from BEING
alive, when you had come so close
to death7 OF course it could; libby
was allowing her imagination and
the effect Of Steenas words to run
riot.
She said, "Oh, Marg, It's so good
TO have you back I'm so PROUD
Of you, darling" She wanted Marg
to know that she would always be
proud Of her, always find it good
to have her friendship.
Marg gave her a bear-hke
squeeze in response. Its good to
be back" she said. You don't real
ize how good, until you come close
to not making it, although there
was not much doubt with Captain
Mercer as pilot. AS for your being
proud Of me. honey, that's the
bunk. Captain Mercer is the one
who deserves all credit. Oh, libby,
he's so wonderful There's no one
like him. No one else could have
done what he did. Such a mani
I'm sure he is" libby said. but
her heart sank to her shoes There
was absolutely no doubt about IL.
Marg was in love. There was much
more than admiration in her tone,
respect for an able pilot 1t was
all there in her face for anyone to
see-that she had given her heart
TO this man whose praises she sang

CHAPTER EIGHTEhl>

WAYNE COPYRIGHT had
oeen right when he had told libby
over the phone that she would find
that her friend, Marg Baker, had
become quite heroine" He had
been right, too, when he had said
she would read about it in the
morning papers.
There was a picture Of Marg-
and one Of Captain Mercer-on the
front page. "Only, of course, it
doesn't do her justice" libby COM
nented Loyalty. But just look what
It says about her, Steena! Due
credit is attributed to the steward

nerve and calm fortitude. Captain
Mercer said that Miss Baker was

and keeping up the spirits Of the
passengers until the rescue planes
arrived. This must have been no
