LACK will want to go to his mother's of

with again.
Diane was saying: Il think we should all
have stingch with Jerry" Her eyes came to
Icrry. deeply blue: For good luckv' To
Sabu, who was approaching with his glass:
"Stingehs all around, Sabu.'
But Jerry could not endure more. He said
stiffly: well double up for the drive to Sibolga
tomorrow. The Burkes will go with Diane and
me. the Simpsons with the Walters Well start
early. Now if you will excuse me, I'll go and
shower" He put down his untasted drink,
swung on his heel and left them.
He heard the babble on the veranda grad
ually quiet, the hum of motors as the women
drove away He went into the shower and lin
gered under it, still obsessed by his dread Of
facing Diane
But she was in his room when he came out
She had put on loose white robe and was
curled on the chase Tongue, her bare arms
clasping her knees. Il thought you were drown
ing yourself, darling! Now tell me more of
what you heard in Medan," she said
Didn't tell you enough? Singapore -"

Should he tell her? - That it was only

He hooked at her and away. That the Sultan
might be our last chance to get out he said.
And Von's staying?'
Yes To fight" All of Ierry's bitterness
was in his voice.
Diane stretched lazily. Its lucky Doris
didn't sell the old house when she had that
chance last fall, isn't it? That east wing is a
little apartment by itself, And Jerry, believe
I'll ask Stern and Fenner for my old job

He deafened his ears to her light voice,
running on. He began pulling shirts out OF
drawer, pillng them on the bed
Diane got to her feet Darling, you're 50

a few things. Doris will laugh when she sees my

JERRY caught her shoulder, Take as little
as you please, but get about it. We haven't
much time"
She touched his cheek with the tips OF her
fingers. ''Do you have to be so cross, pet? III
be ready, you'll see With that she ran out of
the room.
He heard her hllmming in the adjoining
room. Good grief" he muttered and put his
hands to his ears.
He finished packing, cramming heedlessly
into one bag what he would take Now he must
tell the coolies Face them and tell them that
they had to fend for themselves, crawl into
holes and starve, or take their luck with the
Japs. But no, Vonderheidt would be here!

quently came at this hour of the day to talk
to them or to the n,dndor. He had learned their
language at the start and it had helped him to
maintain friendly relations with them, even
moments of an exchange of humor.
The game stopped when he appeared, and
the coolies drew toward him from every direc-
ton, women behind the men and children be-
hind the women, until there seemed hundreds
of brown faces turned up to him. The ma,dor
came down the step of the shed.
''Keong." Jerry's voice was hoarse over his
shame Il am leaving in the morning. You will
get orders from Vonderhedt. He will do every
thing to take care of you. Goodby." He went
back through the thronging coolies without
looking at them. But painfully conscious of the
stunned disbelief in their silence
Diane was perched on the veranda rail-
I've told Sabu told him we'd send for
him some day, and he was quite happy. Jerry,

IT WAS his favorlte of the native dishes. But
he ate little of it, DANES serenity, the spread
of white linen and silver before him, the wax
lilies floating in the low crystal bowl, Sabu's
smooth service all Jared him to the core.
In the course of the meal the phone rang
"Afem Burke, phone said Sabu at DANES
elbow And Jerry heard Diane say to Mollie
Burke: 'Oh, one evening dress, just in case -"
He clapped his hand to his head. Had she no
comprehension of what this voyage would be
like? The sea alive with Jap subs, the ship
blacked out -
He had papers to put in order. He went to
the room he used for an office, finding the job
less painful for the excuse it gave him to shut
himself from Diane.
1t was late when he was finished He ached
with WEAKNESS and the strain of the last few
weeks but he had no inclination to go to bed
Moonlight lay in patterns across the garden,
and he went down the steps into them, his
fingers mechanically finding the pipe in his
pocket, putting it cold between his teeth.

Animal manure alone is not a
perfect fertilizer for the starch and
sugar crops, nor for the very early
salad crops such as head lettuce.

a moderate amount Of supplement-
airy commercial fertilizer produces
excellent results. Early salads
such as head lettuce require nj

able form. Therefore gardeners
often scatter a small amount OF so.

phate along on both sides OF the
row after setting out the lettuce
plants. This is an excellent prac-
tice for home gardeners to use on
most OF their crops, excepting peas
and beans, unless sufficient
amount of animal manure Is avail
able, in which case no additional
nitrates or ammonia are necessary
in the home garden. The amount
OF nitrate or ammonia fertilizer that
should be used is decided best by
experience. Try different amounts
on each crop. make notes OF the
effect. and use your notes as guides
for next year. There are about
four different kinds OF soil in my

Animal manures from different

There are far.reaching possibili-
ties in President Roosevelt's re-
quest to Congress for authority %
suspend during the war any law
interfering with the free move
ment OF persons. property and IN
formation into and out OF this
country.
The request could pave the way
for the establishment OF a system
Of free trade among the United Ma
lions during the war II would
give the President power 70 abolish
for the duration OF the war all
tariffs. customs duties, excise taxes
and other barriers which were er-
ected during peace-time to curb
the flow of foreign goods into the
United States.
II would also EMPLOYER the Presi-
dent to do away with the restric-
tons placed on the purchases OF
foreign goods In the so-called buy
American" bill passed some years
ago. and would vest in the Presi.
dent complete control over the ex-
isting tariff structure Of the coun'
try as long as the war lasts.
The general lowering OF Ameri-
can tariff barriers, however, does
not appear TO be the immediate
purpose OF the measure Its pri-
mary purpose seems rather TO be
elimination Of the complicated sys-
tenn OF local restrictions which sur
round the importation into this
country now Of many strategic ma
terials needed for the war effort.
For example, some strategic ma
terials, including copper, cannot
be imported into America In some
instances unless ear-marked for
specific branch OF the armed ser
vices, though they may be required
by one OF the war industries.
The reduction OF international
economic barriers is one OF the
fundamental detectives Of Secre-
tary OF State Cordell. Hulrs foreign
trade policy. One of his major
peace aims is a system OF open
trade among the United Nations,
guarantying non-discrimination in
commercial relations.
II the President receives the re-
quested grant of authority, It could
be used to aid Secretary Hull IN
establishing. during the war. at
least, his system Of free trade.
II this system was firmly estab-
lished among the United Nations
during the world conflict, It might
be easier to retain 1t afterward
than to get Congress TO agree 10

riers when the war IS over.
