The one drawback to Herbert
Hoover,s plan to feed the people of
the occupied sections of Europe is
that it is known that if such a thing
is attempted Hitler will take a like
amount of food from the area to
which this country ships food. Con-
sequently every shipment of food to
the peoples in the conquered areas
is equivalent to a shipment of food
to Hitler.

The OPM has forbade the furth-

gift wrappings, as wrapping for soap
razors, cosmetics and clothing. It
will permit cigarettes and food to he

for the order is that phenol, glycer-

bia River to the International
Boundary, it is possible to see at

the earth'S urface.
Beginning at the Seacoast and go

sections and the general provinces to
which they belong are as follows:
The Olympic Mountains and the
Willapa Hills. part of compare
lively low but extended range Of
mountains forming barrier along
the Pacific from lower California to
the islands of British Columbia and
Alaska; the Puget Sound Basin, a
segment of a long and narrow trough
which is more or less continuous
from Southern California to the
Gulf of Georgia and Queen Char
lotte Sound; the Cascades, a subdi-
uous from Mexico to Alaska; the
Okanogan Highlands, Columbia Pla-
teau and Blus Mountains, that are
more or less local subdivisions Of a
greater interior basin that extends
almost the length of the continent;
and the Selkirk mountains, one of
the outlierS or minor divisions of the
Rocky mountains, the backbone of
the continent.

Fort Raines blockhouse, near the
legendary Bridge of the Gods, was
built by Captain Henry D. Wallen
in November. 1855 at the order OF
Major Gabriel Raines.
It has the distinction of being the
only blockhouse on the Columbia
River that was ever besieged by an
enemy. During the Indian uprising
of 1856, Fort Raines was heavily be-
:sieged by the Yakimas and neighbor-
ing tribes for three days prior tt
its rescue by General (tf1en Lieut.

noon he spots one. He is about six feet and
has square jaw and West Point snap to
his walk There isn't much that Dan can pick
on, except that his pocket flap isn't COM
pletely buttoned. But this is enough Dan,
who is luckily alone for the moment, steps
in front of this Colonel salutes, and says,
''Sir, button up your flap properly"
The Colonel frowns. fixes his flap, and de-
cides not to say what he is thinking. "Very
gooo," he growls. Nov step aside"
"Sir," says Dan, "show me your identified
ton folder"
"Damnationr' barks the Colonel ''I'm in
hurry, man."
Dan doesn't move He is sure getting this
Colonel properly stirred up. Sir" he says,
IF you do not show me your identification
papers, will place you under arrest like it
says in Army Regulations in the middle of
page
The Colonel growls way down in his throat
and dips his hand into his hip pocket Then
his frown deepens and he coughs loudly. "As
matter of fact, my man." he says, Il seem
to have left my identification papers in my
other trousers
Every good, sir says Dan. "If you will
now come with me inside the booth, l will
phone the Armory for the prison van.'

booth. "Sort of strict, aren't you?" he barks.

something about Australia when you
left?"
Dams face gets redder and redder. When
it is his turn to 60 on patrol it is even worse.
The M.P's patrol in pairs; half dozen cops
stop Dan and laugh heartily, and ask him
is he afraid to walk around alone? And does
he need that other guy to take care of him?
0UT it is not only the cops that make Dams
face red There are lot of mugs hanging
around the Square, and they Go not have any
happy memories of the treatment they get
from Dan when he is on the cops. These same
mugs know very well that an MP. can't do
anything to civilian, so they have very
pleasant time yelling out, Look at Flatfoot
McGarry in fancy clothes! Look at Flatfoot

After week of this, Dan is terribly glum.
Even when he gets to Ktty's house for
dinner and samples her fanciest home cook
ing he doesn't snap out of it. He keeps COM
planning about fighting the war right in his
own precinct, until Kitty finally says, I'm

will have to do something about it."

Marshal himself could not ask for more. But
Dams mind is made up. 81 got to arrest you
anyway, sill" he says.
"In heavens name, what for?" roars the
Major.
"On account of you got spot under your
chin," says Dan. Come in the booth with
me while phone"
The Major grits his teeth, but he goes
peacefully. He stands behind Dan while Dan
bends over to phone.
Dan gives the number - and that is all he
does. He feels his gun being pulled out of its
holster, and he wheels around just in time to
see the Major bringing the butt end of it
down full force on his head.
The Majors aim is good, but Dan is able
to move his head in time, so he doesn't get it
full force. After that he can't think very
clearly at ALL
He only knows that he's been socked -
and that means fight in any uniform. He
lands a right on the Majors nose and left
on the jaw.
But the Major still has the gun; he now gets
it up in the air again and brings it down. But
just before everything goes black, Dan sees
the two patrolling MP. s coming to see what's
what
When he opens his eyes he is stretched out
on his cot in the Armory, and his head feels
like it has his whole field equipment sitting
on it. There is captain with the medical
corps insignia bending over him, and behind
this captain is tall officer with eagles on his
shoulders. In little while Dan can see clear
again, and recognizes Colonel Wipperspoon.
Remember me, McGarry?" says the
Colonel "How do you feel?"
81 remember" says Dan. "And / feel
almost pretty good.''
The Colonel actually smiles. ''For the Sec
ond time today congratulate you, he says.
Eve and the FBI have been trying to find
that phony Major for the past ten days. How
YOU spotted him l will never know. His uni
form was regulation, and his papers were
almost perfect forgeries. McGarTy, your judg
ment is positively uncanny! Or do you arrest
every officer you see?
xHE Colonel stops smiling then, and gets
real serious. Il am not at liberty to tell you,
he says 'just why we needed to get this inn
postor and get him quick. Maybe your head
won't hurt 50 much if tell you this - he is
dangerous character. You have probably kept
valuable military information from reaching
enemy agents. You may have saved the lives
of many American soldiers
With this, he walks around to the side of the
cot and drops his hand on Dams shoulder.
There's lot more to MP work than you'd
think" he says. People remember the last
war, and they think all an MP. ever does is
spoil a soldiers good time when he's on leave
Times have changed, McGarTy. So have the
M.P.'s." He reaches out and shakes Dams
hand. ''Is there any favor you would like to
ask? You've earned it."
Dan opens his mouth - and closes it again.
1t would be easy, he thinks. He could ask for
transfer and get it.
But the way this Colonel talks about the
M.P.'s stops him. Maybe it's a big-time job,
at that Maybe every job, everywhere, is in-
portant in the Army.
Thank you, sir" says Dan. There is one
small favor
Name it," says the Colonel.
II wish you would send word to my mouse
Kitty" says Dan, that have decided to
let the Army run the war its own way"
