other paddle" from the other shoe
and thus I created our motive power.
Look alive, lads" I shouted,
elated with accomplishment. Were
going places"
When the boys saw that my idea
would work, their listlessness van
ished. This new control over the
raft that we had achieved was like
a weapon placed In the hands of a
fallen man.
Really Make Progress.
Lets get agoin'." Gene said, en-
thusiastic now.
I believe 1t was Gene and I who
started. Gene was on the starboard
side and on the port. In Is min
utes we had stretched a wake be-
hind us.
"You rest now, Gene," I said.
"Your turn, Tony"
Gene moved back to the stern
to rest. I slid over to his place,
Tony took my former position at
port and rowed with a will. After
Is more minutes, as nearly as we
could judge, went aft for my rest,
Tony moved to starboard and Gene
came in at port.
Thus we spelled each other,
circling counterclockwise. All that
day we rowed. never stopping, until
about 2 o'clock the next morning
almost 18 hours.
As had hoped, action raised our
spirits. We chatted gaily and even
tried chantey or two. We ex-
changed all the lore we had on the
art of rowing-or padding, as you
will. Sometimes the man resting In
the stern acted as coxswain, count
ing the stroke and calling hilariously
for 10 big ones for deah old Hah-
vahd!"
Fifteen minutes rest for each man
as he finished. his half-hour shift
kept us fresh; shifting from one
side to the other every Is minutes
kept us from straining either arm
At that it was rather tiring without
food to sustain our strength. A
, sparing swig of warm water from
the diminishing supply in the little
rubber bag was welcome refresh
ment.
At about o'clock in the morning
a breeze sprang up from the east
driving us on in the direction we
had been rowing all day and night
We were quite fatigued by now, and
were elated that the suddenly risen
wind should keep sending us In
exactly the, direction we wanted to
| 60.
We shipped oars" gratefully, and
composed ourselves to rest as best
| we could for the remainder of the
night. The exercise had quickened
our minds as well as our blood, and
we were quite optimistic as to our
chances of reaching one of the
larger islands that we knew to be
off to the westward.
Before closing my eyes to try to
doze I checked our progress by the
stars. We had rowed a hundred
miles.
The next day. however, we lost all
that we had gained.

Veterans Administration
Staff Aids War PROGRAM

Employees of the Veterans Admin
istration who have aided the war
program through blood donations,
sewing, knitting and first aid and
home nursing classes, also have col
lected more than 81 900 pounds OF
scrap which has been turned over
to the Navy Yard, Brig. Gen. Frank
T. Hines. administrator of veterans
affairs, reported yesterday.
Gen. Hines said that 1853 have
completed first-aid courses in SO
classes, and SOB have completed ad-
vanced courses and have been or
ganized into detachments now rec
ognized by the Red Cross. Four
classes in first aid are now being
conducted, he reported.
Four persons have qualified as
nurses aides and AZ for home train
ing. he said. A total of I'LL donors
have given blood to various Blood
Donor Centers.
Gen. Hines reported the produc-
ton division has been curtailed
somewhat due to lack of materials,
but 161 knitted garments and 1870
pieces Of sewing have been COM
pleted. Members of the production
unit, he said, are now working on
1873 Red Gross property bags to be
given to soldiers going overseas.

United States to Britain. The battle
Is hard, but were it not for the
tremendous air effort being put ur
by the United Nations, the position
would be a thousand times worse.
The development of heavy, long
range bombers and flying boats
greatly aids the air attack. The
8,000-pound bomb carried by Lam
casters and Halifaxes has great
effect on German shipyards and
factories. The ability of the Ameri-
can Catalina Flying Boats to stay
out on patrol for "a hours as a regu-
lar achievement means far more
ocean covered in the constant search
Air Strength Is Key.
The air and sea attack from the
European side of the Atlantic has
become so great that U-boats have
moved their happy hunting ground
westward to the Caribbean. Now
American and British aircraft and
ships have also intensified the air
attacks from that side. Submarines
may return to eastern waters of the
Atlantic and the battle may reach a
new intensity in future months.
It is battle that is vital to the
success of the war as a whole. 1t
is a battle in which air strength will
play a dominant part. AS in all
other operations today, the cry is
for more aircraft, more bombs, and
more crews. They are coming.

CHAPTER XVI,

Cf1Af ELY AV1.
We passed the night of our four
teenth day, and entered our third
week with dead calm. It was one
of those times in the South Seas
when all nature seems to stop fol
breath. The air becomes oppres-
sive, and the heat, unrelieved by
the soothing trade winds, suddenly
acquires weight and presses on you
Humidity rises and the perspiration
will not evaporate from your skin
In the utter lack of breeze the
sea was fiat and viscous Even the
birds were listless; only the fish
were free of the torpor that de-
scended over the world of air breath
ers.
Without wind, the rubber raft was
motionless, like the famous painted
ship upon painted ocean-I re-
called the line.
Most of the sea birds had left us
in the night, but still following our
boat was an old gray albatross Of
huge wingspeard. He came circline
about the boat, seeming to inspect
us for a long while from distance
of about 100 yards. Finally, as II
he had decided something, he
banked steeply and shot straight II,
toward the boat. He landed on the
water close by and calmly gazeo
about him like hoary old doyen
He did not show the least fear OF
us, but began unconcernedly dunk
ing his head in the water, occa-
sionlly giving us a casual sidewise
glance.
Bird Brings Optimism.
Eventually he had maneuvered
himself to within 10 or II feet OF
the boat. Then he stretched out
his long neck and poked his head
into the water as deep as he could
He kept his head submerged fol
several seconds; he was evidently
feeding on something. but I coulo
not see what it was. noticed that
he had white feathers in the roots
of his mottled tail. After severa
minutes he took off and flew di.
rectly westward.

Dangers Minimized
In Laurel Inmates ESCAPE

Although a shortage of personnel
has made it more difficult to keep
account of inmates at the District
Training School for the Feeble
Minded at Laurel, Md, Conrad Van
Hyning, public welfare director, said
the recent wave of escapes from the
Institution was not serious matter.
Mr.. Van Hyning pointed out that
none of the patients at the training
school is dangerous and that most
OF those who leave are caught in a
short time due to their limited in
telligence. Because of the nature of
the institution, the welfare director
said, there are no bars or restraining
walls to keep persons from leaving
The last mass walk-out from the
school took place Thursday night,
when 13 persons left. Last week 10
escaped and the week before 6 dis
appeared. Ages of those missing
range from IA to 20 and include per-
sons of both sexes.
Mr.. Van Hyning said most of the
escapes occur among adolescent
borderline cases, especially after the
youngsters begin going to school,
and before they are adjusted to this
new life.

Fuel Oil Rations Cut
In Large Homes With
Vacant Rooms Here
OPA Releases Figures
On Typical AIIotments
Based on Floor Space

Large homes with vacant rooms
will get proportionately greater re-
duction in fuel oil rations than
small homes which are fully occu-
pied, L. P. Steuart, OPA rationing
officer for the District, reported to-
day after study of ration allot-
ments taken at random from A ,062
applications filed as of November 18
The figures represent typical
ration allotments, Mr.. Steuart said
and are the first released by the
rationing board.
A home with $685. square feet of
floor space, occupied by six persons
was cut from 6,80l gallons used last
year to $685., a reduction of 1886
gallons, while home with only
l,5O5 feet OF floor space and nine
occupants was cut only 70 gallons,
from 1901 to 1912.
In another bracket, a 2,375-foot
home with single occupant was
slashed 1854 gallons, from 3,161 to
1907. A 638-foot home with two
occupants, in another instance, was
dropped from 1,090 to TIA, a reduc-
ton Of 376 gallons.
Other figures follow:
Home of 1,170-foot floor space,
seven occupants. 7S4 to 696; 4,371-
foot floor space, eight occupants,
6,681 to 3,519; 2,039-foot floor space,

BY ALFRED TOOMBS,

Washington merchants braced
themselves today for a last-minute
coffee-buying rush in anticipation of
the Government order which halts
sales at midnight tonight for Pc
rlod of one week.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton has ordered the suspension of
sales throughout the Nation for the
coming week that merchants may
get their houses in order in time for
the start of coffee rationing a week
from tomorrow.
Those who do not have enough
coffee on hand to tide them over for
the next week will be lucky if they
find any on the grocers shelves to-
day. For the past several days
many merchants have been finding
their supplies dwindling-or COM
pletely exhausted.
There were some early evidences
of the expected buying rush. A few
dealers, however, expressed the
opinion that customers had stocked
up at the first news of coffee ration
ing and would purchase no more
until rationing takes effect.
One downtown coffee shop two
weeks ago suspended retail sales for
the rest of the month";. having ex-
hausted its quota.
Many dealers-chain stores as we'll
as independents appeared anxious
to exhaust their stocks so as not to
carry any coffee over the one-week
freeze period. Some expected to
sell out before the day was over
at the rate of one pound or a half
pound per customer, but at least
one independent merchant, in an
effort to clear his shelves, had lifted
restrictions on the amount one per-
son might buy.
Hoarding Held Pointless.
OPA officials warned that it is
polntlesS for persons who have
enough coffee to last through the
freeze period to buy any more to-
day. Surplus coffee on hand when
rationing begins must be declared
and will be deducted from rations
in coming months.
Officials suggested that the public
might just as well use the coming
week to get accustomed to the short
rations. When rationing begins, /
pound of coffee u going to have to
last every one for five full weeks.
There will be plenty of coffee on
hand to meet demands when buying
starts under rationing on November
