CHAPTER "

More than mere sclf-dramati-
cation impelled June Paterson
when she torn d from the
bungalow. Her mood was eli
mactic, an admission of defeat.
Her immediate reaction was
that she was acting like a fool;
that her flippant treatment of
Bill Talcott was as normal as
the course she pursued with
other males, and it was what
he deserved.
It is true that she was spoiled
But she could not have been Cx-
pected, then, TO realize that her
defense against masculine at
tack had been carefully woven
about a memory. A culy-hCad-
ed bronzed young giant who had
performed seemingly impossible
feats in the altogether impos-
Iible game Of water polo. A
breath taking, handsome god
who had come down from his
heights to dance with her, to
Taise her above other mortals
by talking TO her as if she had
been a woman of his own age
and station. T h a { through a
dozen years a faded, following
tpapshot had been her shrine,
With bits of worship brought TO
.it by the infrequent leaves Of
Capt. Lowell Byrd.
Strange how much a thing
took roots, became imbedded;
The memory Of smile, a hand
lolasp. q small gallant service.
The truth was relentlessly cruel.

Of Talcotts you may come to

it's my job"
She said nothing, and Halsey,
who had made a bad start with
his match, was lighting another
when she saw il. Her eyes dis
tended widely and every vestiGc
Of color drained from her face.

He said it bluntly. biting off

CHICAGO, Nov. 12-CUP)-Bruce
K. Brown, assistant deputy petrol

6uction of necessary war products
will require the operation of most
OF the nations refineries even if
they operate at a loss.
Brown, speaking at the 23rd an

Petroleum Institute, said the refin-
cries must operate whether they
operate in the black or in the red"
Most of refineries simply must
continue to run if the war is to be
Won," he said. This war is war
requirin sproduction, and, if eco
nomic policy and production policy
are really thrown in violent conflict,
production policy must prevail.
Production must come first and
we must have the essential pro-
ducts which can be produced in

Here's How Mills
Handle Metal
You SALVAGE

This is what happens to those old
kettles, pots, pans, washtubs and
what-not you are setting aside for
the national scrap collection to help
win the war:
If they contain steel they 60 direct
to a steel furnace. They are not
processed before they reach the fur
mace. They merely are cleaned and
viewed by experts to determine the
type of alloy in the steel and its
probable proportions.
Most of the furnaces are OF the
open-hearth type. The stray pieces
of metal, large or small, are wheeled
into the furnace along with pre-
scribed amount of pig iron. The per-
centage of steel scrap to pig iron
varies, but common formula is So
per cent scrap, As per cent pig iron.
Fused in the furnace the scrap
which you dig out of the attic or
garage come out fresh steel-ready
to be cut into needed shape, des-
tined eventually to go into tanks,
ships and other sinews of war.
There are other types of furnace
-Bessemer and electric--but the &c
ton is much the same.
Copper scrap goes into a brass
furnace, aluminium into an alum
mum furnace. And these reclaimed
shapes, like the steel, emerge shiny
new metals for the Army and Navy.
