CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

CHAR Elk lWEN FIVE
WHEN DR.. BENNETT told IA
rem, after they had left the sick
room. that he thought Buffy had
been badly frightened in some way
she assured him that that was i'm
possible. She told the doctor about
Buffy, explaining that he had been
frightened in an air raid and had
had long sea voyage that must
have been something Of an ordeal
TO such a small child alone, and Of
course he still was very high
strung. but she had taken every
possible precaution. realizing all
this, to protect Buffy from fear OF
any kind.
Couldn't II be his reaction from
all that he has gone through ?" she
asked. OF course she was relieved
that Buffy had not caught anything
and that he no doubt would be
quite all right by morning, as the
doctor had assured her, but this
was bad enough.
Possibly" DR.. Bennett agreed
although there must have been
some one thing to bring 1t to
head. There's a mild sedative in the
medicine left. 1t will break up the
fever, too I'm confident the boy
will be all right by morning, but
please call me again, And 1t would
be a good idea to try to find out II
anything has disturbed him."
Karen said she would do the best
she could. or course she could not
question Buffy until morning He
was sleeping soundly now. peace
fully, thank goodness, but she
would keep watch in case he should
wake and need her. She did not see
what possibly could have happened
to have frightened him so badly as
to make him really Ill, but he was
such a bundle of nerves and OF re-
preston, too. DR.. Bennett had said
II she could get the boy to tell her
what 1t had been that just the tell
ing probably would undo whatever
damage had been done by erasing
the fear.
That would be Paul phonlng
again, Karen thought, when old
Jan said she was wanted on the
telephone. He had said he would be
anxious to know about Buffy. 1t
was Paul; she told him what DR..
Bennett had said. Paul seemed to
think IL bit absurd. although he
did not use those words. He said:
"In bet you'll still find that the
kids picked up something. The
temperature would indicate that.
How could be get worked up TO
103 degrees over something that
was only in his mind? But since
DR.. Bennett assures YOU he'll he
okay by morning I'd just forget it,
darling
His tone still was cheerfully re-
assuring. but Karen could not for
get anything that had upset Buffy
that quickly. She explained that
DR.. Bennett said child. especially
one as high-strung as Buffy. could
run a fever without infection. For
some reason, as she said this an
other thought came into her mind.
She remembered Pauls saying that
sometimes IL was good for a boy to
have to do the things he did not
want 70 do. Could Paul possibly
have but no. he wouldn't

actually they will be used for com

Economic ADVANTAGES
The history OF transportation
shows that from its earliest stages
some "roadbed" had to be provided
for besides equipment. For exam
pie, barges require that canals be
dug: railroads require roadbeds
and bridges: while automobiles
require fine highways. For air tray
ell no such expensive OUTLAWS are
necessary. The construction OF
airports and terminals. aside from
equipment. Is the only use eI-
pense to which air lines are put.
Usually they bear only a portion II

they will secure the use OF many
fields and terminal facilities with
out much expense involved.
The airplane has already given

transportation that preceded II. Il
Is our most efficient unit OF travel:
yet its perfection is still in its
infancy. Certainly, in the near
future. the convenience, safety,
comfort and flexibility OF air trans
port will impro greatly. The fact
that planes move in the free me-
dunn Of the air is basic economic
advantage not often considered.
My bet is that air transport will
expand far more rapidly than did
the railroads and the fractions and
that this will be accomplished It
far less proportional expense.
While the transport stocks have
had a steep market rise, there is
little question as to their basic
soundness and future popularity.
Events are very favorable for the
entire air transport industry. I

She put the question in an ordinary

She was tense now, waiting for
Paufs answer. 1t meant so much
to her; it was almost unthinksble
that 1t possibly could be the one
that had leaped to her mind.
But it was. PauPs laugh came
back to her, off-hand, casual, as
was his tone in answering what
seemed so incredible to her. why,

Start Moving 10 Consumers
June Copper ALLEGATIONS

NEW YORK, May 15-Allocation
certificates for June copper supplies
began moving this week to consum-
ers, foundries receiving War Pro-
duction Board notice of their per-
mitted usage.
Trade sources said shipments to
war plants during April probably
set new record. The copper re-
covery program. it was reported dur
ing the week, has resulted in ship
ment of some 98,5OO tons of the red
metal to war industry. This amount
would be about two-thirds of that
located through questionnaires sent
to 1l4,000 firms.
Another recovery program. de-
signed to uncover idle or excess
supplies, was expected, soon
The lead industry looked forward
to simpliication of the conservation
order, expected during the coming
week, but little relaxation was fore
seen. Zinc was quiet.
In steel circles there was talk of
an increase in the use of electrolytic
tin plate to replace the older hot
dip plate, resulting in a consider
able saving of tin.
The continued high rate of steel
production was being felt in the
blast furnace section, with a num-
Der of furnaces down for repairs.
Scrap supplies remained unsatis-
factory.

from construction of pipe lines to

Furniture Chief Contends
Markets Reduce Travel
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated press.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y. May 15.-
Earle o. Hultquist, president of the
National Association of Furniture
Manufacturers, said today that fur
niture marts tend to reduce travel
rather than increase it,
Commenting on Transportation
Director Joseph B. Eastman's re-
quest yesterday that all furniture
marts be Cancelled for the duration
OF the war, Mr.. Hultquist asserted:
'If the markets are not held, buy
ers will come to the factory centers.
That will mean longer travel than
if furniture is shown in centralized
marts''
Mr.. Eastman wrote manufacturers
and managers of the various furni-
ture marts and other members of
the industry that his request was
prompted by the necessity for "dras-
tic curtailment" of passenger travel.

Wheat Leads Rally
As Buyers Uncover

Chicago Prices Recover
All of Losses From
Previous Session
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,
Associated Press Market Writer.


CHICAGO, May 15.-Wheat led
an advance in grains today when
small amount of buying, some OF
which was regarded as short-cover-
ing, found the market with scarcity
of offerings. All of the previous ses-
sions loss was recovered on the
upturn.
At the close wheat was l2-1 cent

corn was unchanged at ceilings. May
los; oats were-le lower to ss higher
and rye was up 5s-7s.
Technical factors were considered
as much responsible for the wheat
upturn as anything else. for prices
had sunk to new lows since last Feb
ruary and were about cents under
l943 highs when the market closed
yesterday. Much of the seasonal
liquidation appeared to be out of the
way.
Trading in corn was featured by
the widest spread which has thus
far developed in exchanging May
and September contracts. The ex-
changes were made at premiums OF
