By KATHLEEN NORRIS

IF YOU are one of the many
women who have been act
= ing badly since America
went to war, now is the time for
you to make a fresh start.
Any woman who INDUCES in
vague, groundless fears, COM
municates them to her neigh
bors or allows the children of
the household to be frightened
is a bad American.
Any woman who complains
constantly of change, of the ris-
ing cost of food, of the things
she once could afford and can't
now is a bad American.
Such women are not worthy of
the protection and liberty their flag
has given them; they are essential
ly stupid, a drag upon the supreme
effort to which all America is now
committed.
Nobody wants to hear their trou-
bles; there is not one of us women
in our broad land today who has
not plenty of her own. What we
need from each other is courage
and laughter, ingenuity in solving
the new problems and filling the
new blank spaces, and faith that
looks, as the song says, beyond
the years."
If your boy is in the service he
may not come home. Granted. Or
he may come home blind or Grip
pied. Granted. But the CHANCES
are that he will return to you whole
and unhurt, and when he does you
must be ready to help him live in
the new world. A poorer world, a
world burdened with tremendous
problems, but, ! believe, happier
one. A world with it's eyes wide
open to the fact that peace as well
as war has it's battles to win, and
while there is slum or hungry
baby or a work-hungry man un-
employed in that world, it can hold
no prospect of secure and honest
future.
Do you realize that in England,
after all the bombings of the past
year, the death rate was slightly
BELOW what it had been in normal
years? What's the answer?
The answer is that the starving
poor had been brought out of the
fearful city sluns, the men set to
work, the women given jobs, and
all of them fed. And also because
the children had been shipped to
country places, where, despite ex-
traordinary difficulties, they had
been slowly brought up to the levels
of luckier children, decently fed and
housed and trained.
And because there was so much
less motor traffic. It would be a
very terrible battle that cost us 3d.
600 lives, and manned and wounded
100000 more of our boys. But that's
what careless driving cost us last
year and will cost us this.
Autos More Dangerous.
You don't tremble and shiver and
shut doors and cover under beds
because motor cars are racing over
the highways, yet there is greater
danger in steering wheel trusted
to incompetent or intoxicated hands
than in enemy bombs. Especially
as bombs, which have not conquered
gallant England, must come thou
sands of miles to reach us.
Make no mistake, America and
her Allies will win this war, as
America has won every war, little
or big, upon which she has en-
tered, even though the odds were
heavily against her. 1t may take
her a year to get her full forces
into action; and as she pushes the
invaders steadily out of one strong
hold after another, it may take her
another year to finish the job. But
time is on our side.

CHAPTER XIII

Presently DR.. Shimazu came on
deck and talked to Dick Wayne.
81 think she's all right now" he
said. 'You go look for yourself"
''The knife wound-?" Dick asked.
''The wound isn't going to amount
to anything, I hope. But you come
with me and look, so / can go
home"
Dick went below with DR.. Shimazu,
and hesitantly made his way into the
little stateroom in the stern where
he usually slept.
Hokano was stretched out face
down upon the bunk beside Lilua,
his face upon his arms; and Lilua
had turned a little so that she could
hide her face in Hokano's shoulder.
When Dick had stood there for a
moment, Lilua lifted her head, and
looked at Dick without expression.
At first he thought that she was
unable to see him; but in a few mo-
ments he decided that she did. She
was simply looking at him with COM
plete inpersonality, like cat; or
perhaps simply like girl looking at
someone who doesn't mean anything
to her any more. Soon Lilua low
cred her head again, returning her
face to Hokano's shoulder; and it
was perfectly evident that Dick was
instantly gone from her mind.
''I guess you were right" DR.. Shi-
maui said. cit takes a Kanaka to
fix a Kanaka-providing they don't
kill each other first"
''O course I was right" Dick
said. "Can she be moved ashore
now"
az think so; yes"
'tInyashil See that the girl is
moved ashore-carefully-and taken
home"
Eyes, Tonga"
Maybe" DR.. Shimazu suggested,
'T can go home now?"
"Your night is only starting"
Dick answered; "I've got other work
for you now"
Dick called away the shoreboat
again, and, with ShimaZu, went
aboard the Sarah.
Garrett Waterson's cabin, as they
entered it now, was a strange mess.
IT differed from all other cabins in
that il was full of more charts than
most people have ever seen. There
were charts all over the wall, over
tapping each other in reefs and pads
and a great number of these had
been drafted by Dick Wayne. There
was even a chart nailed to the bot
tom of the deck above Garrett Wa
terson's bunk, where he could read
II as he lay in bed. Hardly any
one ever got into this room; GER
tainly, since Garrett Waterson had
first taken possession, no one had
ever cleaned it up. Old shoes, and
sea boots, and miscellaneous cloth
ing were piled about, or hung upon
nails. But all this litter could mean
nothing in this room - the charts
were everything here.
Everything, that is, except the
man. The ancient figure in the bunk
had been a man of huge frame,
once. Fever had carved his face
very close to the bone, taking away
much of his substance. Yet neither
old age nor wasting fever could ever
make this man appear ascetic-he
simply never had been made on as
cetic lines. Everything about him
had been built in the beginning to
be big and vital. There was some
thing arresting, even terrible, about
this big frame which had been built
20 a vitality for which the fuel was
now gone.
And there was no doubt about the
fuel being gone. A faint surprise
showed in the eyes of DR.. Shimazu
as he perceived that Garrett Wa
terson was still definitely alive. Lit

I believe the Spirit of re will sub
merge the Spirit of Every Man for
Himself, Every Politician for the
Main Chance and Every American
for Softer Upholstery.
I believe in the American Way
and I now believe it is the way up
ward and forward and not just a
circular path around the artificial
rosebeds.
believe the country is beginning
to understand that sacrifice is not
merely something done with goat.
I believe that patriotism is some
thing beginning to show in the deeds
of Americans and no longer some
thing that was the main concern of
orators during a five-minute inter-
val at national conventions.
I believe that "The Star-Spangled
Banner" is now a song to stir every
American to the depths, and no long

for special school exercises, army
and navy activities and for musical
comedy climaxes.
/ believe that this is war in

I believe that the hopes of WASH

of Hitler and TOTO and Mussolini.

war lords of history.
I believe Uncle Sam is all the
more inspiring and all the more in

EXAM

EAkAM
Q.-Have you done much fighting?
A.-No, but what I've done has
been effective.
Q.-Have you done any flying?
A.-Not since the first Schmeling
bout.
Q.-Any experience in tank work?
A.-No, that was two other cham
pions.
There is difference of opinion
in the dress industry over the re-
ported plan to shorten skirts by way
of saving fabrics. Maurice Rentner
of the Fashion Originators guild
says they can't be made shorter
without becoming police court mat
tiers. But we think he is wrong.
Skirts got so short around the time
of the last war now and then a
husband got mixed up and put one
on as wristlet.
The splendid work of the Dutch in
the war brings back to mind an old
song DR.. Fred Beck used to sing at
the Grays' outings back home:
"Those Dutch, they say, they amt
got no style
They got style all the while, all the
while!"
