THE STORY SO FAR: JeR Curtis and
his wife, Lee, are already ON their way to
TERRA Hibre when Jeff receives note
from Fora Mitchell warning them not to
come. Jeff Is to be chief engineer for .
newly organized fruit company. They
arrive In TERRA Libre to And both Fora
and her husband dead, and Jen suspects
they were murdered. Conversations with
his employer, Senior Montaya, and with
his friends Jerry McInnis and Bill Hen.
derson confirm his suspicious that there
10 something strange going ON and that
Mitchell and Fora were killed because
they knew too much. Now ON tour OF
inspection with Montaya he has met an
other friend, Stats Monahan. He IL trou-
bled because Monahan, like Bill Hender-
son, IL not as friendly as Jeff expected
him to be.

the job he stayed in camp over
night. He got me off by myself
and began fiingin' questions at
me-"
''What kind of questions?"
"About the freight comm up riv-
er. Curt, I dunno nothin' about the
stuff comm in. But Mitch was espe-
cially interested in a lot that passed
through Tempujo a coupla weeks
ago. I did see that. I was in Tenn
pujo for the weekend and Mitch
was at San Alejo. These were big,
heavy boxes that came to Cabeza on
Jap tramp. Like oversize collins
they were. Eight Of 'em, marked
pump machinery. They brought 'em
up river that Sunday and hustled 'em
on to San Alejo right away"
''Well?"
''Well, it seemed like Mitch was
mighty burned up about it, like they
was sneakin' stuff in behind his
back. You know how Mitch was.
He hated most foreign goods and
was death on the Japs and Germans
especially. Nothin' would do him
but good old U. S. A. stuff. But,
Curt, if Montaya wants to buy equip
ment without Mitch's okay, even
cheap Jap pumps, ! reckon he's got
the right. It's his money"
"Stick to Mitch"
''Well, Mitch asked a lotta ques-
tions about Lannestock and Ryden.
They're the two Swedes-"
81 know. What about them?"
81 dunno, Curt. I've played pi-
nochle with them at Tempujo once

or twice when they stayed over Of a
Saturday or Sunday. They're not
exactly the chummy kind but so
far's I know they're okay. But Mitch
had some kinda bug in his head
about 'em. Can't say why"
go on about Mitch"
"Well, there amt much more. He
said he was sittin' on a powder
key and raved about Loring-you
know Loring-"
"Yeh, yeh," came impatiently
from Curt.
Loring had been American Consul
at Soledad for years. He'd been ap-
pointed through influence of Associ-
ated Growers and was their man
first and last. Loring was as un-
American a person as could have
been selected for the job-hadn't
even been to the States in sixteen
years.
"Well, what griped Mitch" Mona
han went on, twas that Loring was
the closest official an American
could 60 to for help, and he wasn't
any good. But don't ask me what
kind Of help. A guy 'that'd blow the
lid Off was Mitch's words. Mitch
complained that he couldn't get to
the Canal Zone. Two-three times
he muttered about how close we
are to the Canal, yet not close
enough for it to do him any good. 1T
may be a coupla days by coast he
was gripin', but it's hardly more n
a coupla hours by air. I"
"What do you know about Mon
taya?"
"Nothin' much, Curt. Heard he
was hooked up with Cedillo in that
Mexican revolt that failed"
"I know, heard that myself.
mean something definite. Nothing
more'n that?"
81 don't know thing. Except /
wouldn't play poker with him on a
bet. There he is now, Curt"
"Under your hat, Stats"
"Sure."
Breakfast over, Montaya and Curt
accompanied the dragline crew to
the job. Random, the engineer in
charge, went along. No time was
wasted getting down to work, ma
chine crew, ground crew, trimmers,
all jumping to it. The apparent
richness of the soil which the drag
line turned over was amazing. Ger
tainly all the Spaniard had claimed
it to be.
Montaya and Curt spent little time
at the working job. Mules, good
Missouri mules that could cover
ground at a comfortable lope, car
ried them on an inspection of the
levee along the river to its end.
It was fiat country they traversed,
and the levee doomed high. Ahead,

en- ever took was at Hoylake
in the 1880 British Open. l was
only 20 yards off the green in two,
got into no trouble, actually didn't
miss shot, and yet took five
strokes to get down for my seven
here. How could this happen? The
cup was on mound. My first chip
shot ran up fairly close, stopped,
and then rolled back. My second
one slipped by the cup, caught a
deep slant and trickled 80 feet on
beyond. Then I took three puts.
The Worst Temptation
/ championship golf," Bobby said,
''is largely resisting the temptation
to quit after one or two bad holes.
You begin to feel you can't win, so
why keep on furnishing yourself?
The winner has to work for it all
the way, take his beating here and
there, and then continue to work,
harder than ever.
81 believe the Understanding
golfer I ever saw is Ben Hogan.
Ben works over every type of shot,
even the ones that look simple. He
takes nothing for granted.
Hogan has made no attempt to
master any variety of shots. He
J sticks to few simple ones, concen-
trates on these, and never gets dis
couraged. Byron Nelson is another
play more shots. But no one works
quite as hard, round after round,
month after month, as Hogan works.
81 had Is years Of tournament
golf, from IL to 30, and / know the
nerve and mental beating one has
to take if you are out to win. Just
one lapse is enough to cost two
strokes. There never was q golf
shot that played ITSELF"

Ranking Golfers

ANUsSsSSS OO~y
Here's another barracks request,
this time from group of golfers:
"How would you rank the golfers
from the viewpoint of stroke
making, all-around skill, winning or
losing temperaments, putting? II
we can get this settled it will shut
off lot of noise in this camp"
/. The best stroke-maker I ever
saw, the straightest player, was
Harry Vardon.
2. The best combination of stroke
making, hard work and putting be-
longed to Bobby Jones.
8. The best golfing temperaments
I ever ran across were Johnny Nc
Dermott, Jerry Travers and Walter
Hagen. McDermott and Travers
were marvels at concentration.
Hagen had less tension. He also
had as much golf smartness.
The two best putters ever saw
were Walter Travis and Jerry
Travers. In modern play this dis
tinction goes to Horton Smith. Paul
Runyan is close.
I've seen Harry Vardon play
many rounds of championship golf
and / can't recall ever seeing him
play shot from the rough or from
a bunker. He was bad putter,
with nervous stab. 1t was nothing
unusual to see him take three puts
from 10 or IL feet.
about Bobby Jones
Capt. Bobby Jones, taking his
training at Mitchell Field before
being stationed in southern sector,
believes he worked harder around
a course in championship play than
anyone else. He was supposed to
be "The Machine"
81 was far from this" he said re-

NO-CHAUFFEUR ARNOLD

TruStbuSt1ng thurman Arnold nails
from the small town Of Laramie,
Wyo., and he doesn't see any rea-
son why he should hire chauffeur
to drive his car. So he drives it
himself.
One evening, after he and Mrs.
Arnold had been dinner guests Of
Mrs. Evalyn (Hope Diamond)
Mclean, they were going out the
front door, when the doorman said,
in his most elegant manner, "Shall
I call your car, Mr.. Arnold?"
With a dour expression on his
face, Arnold said, "You can cali it,
but don't think it will come"

u. 8. FOREIGN LEGION

Os De n OAvA1ANEAN &<A1NNAVAN
Most people don't realize it, but
there are many enemy aliens who
are officers in the u. S. army. In
fact the army, true to the American
tradition of the melting pot, is made
up of American citizens Of almost
every national and racial back
ground, including 2,720 German ali
ems, not to mention 2,700 Germans
who are naturalized citizens.
The italian total is 2,472 aliens and
1871 naturalized. In addition, there
are GA Japanese in the army, plus
5000 Japanese-Americans, formerly
of the Hawaiian national guard,
most of whom are assigned to the
Tooth battalion at Fort Mccoy, Wis.
The army goes on the assumption
that any man who wants to fight
can be a good soldier. OF course,
the 'enemy aliens" are checked and
double-checked before they are adj
mitted for enlistment. The men who
pass these tests are found to be even
more jealous for the defeat Of the
dictators than the average Ameri
can.
Latin-American Battalions.
To make the melting pot more
complex, the army has Filipino
infantry battalion, and is forming a
battalion for Norwegians in the
u. S. and Observation-Disclosures. In
struction and conversation in this
unit will be in the Norwegian Ian
guage.
Equally eager to fight are thou
sands of Latin-Americans, especial
ly from the nearer countries, such
as Cuba and Mexico. The office
of the U. S. military attache in
Havana is flooded with applications
from young Cubans who want to
wear the uniform of Uncle Sam.
Most of them would renounce Cuban
citizenship if necessary.
But what they do not realize is
that if they come to the United
States, they are likely to be swept
into the U. S. army, whether they
like it or not. Within five days after
entering this country, aliens must
register for the draft, and they had
better leave the country pronto If
they don't want to be indicted.
Not yet arranged, but highly de-
sirable, is a Latin-American bat
TALON. There are now ten Latin
American countries which have de-
clared war on the Axis, and thou
sands of their young men want to
follow up that declaration with
something more than police duty at
home.
