So Dan goes back to his bunk, and there
is The Killer trying to chew off the MP.

for him. you won't be wearing it any
more don't mind about you, but you sure
are letting down that kid, getting washed
out of the Army after six days. He thought
you were good. He's going to feel bad"
Dan is on duty until midnight that night.
The Captain has ordered The Killer out of
sight by morning So there is nothing to do
but walk The Killer to Kitty's house, leave
him there and let Kitty do the explaining
to the lame kid in the morning.
1t is long walk crosstown for fiat
footed mutt like The Killer, and he plods
along with his nose almost touching the
ground and his tail sweeping it. Dan doesn't
rush him. He's too busy thinking about that
kid Skippy and the way he's going to look
when he finds out The Killer hasn't got

a dame scream.
There is car parked down side street,
and the screaming dame is in it. In front of
it five guys are fighting - four against one.
Dan doesn't know the names of the four,
but he knows who they are - four of the
Moocher's Gang, the toughest mob of hood
lurns in town. Let's 60, Killer1' yells Dan.
"At 'em, boy!' He tugs twice on The
Killers rope and then gives up. The Killer
is doing the usual - sitting there and
wrinkling his forehead and looking apollo
getic. Dan drops The Killers rope He
goes forward on the double, and recog-
nizes the guy the four Moochers are gang

around and around the beleaguered pilot,
beating the Japs back whenever they tried
to emerge for the kill. They were trying
to close in like pack of wolves.
He was almost out of gas when the re-
Inducements arrived from Assam - eight
more Dragons. He headed for home, and
they took over. With eight of them div
ing and machine-gunning by turns, it
was little easier to keep the Japs
under control.
Lieutenant Kimball was by this time
out of ammunition. All he could do was to
crouch in his unworkable plane and count
the bullets that pierced the fuselage. At
30 he stopped counting. When it got dark,
or when the planes ran out of gas, he
would still be there - and so would the
Japs.
A Happy Landing
Bur the Assam Dragons had thought
of that, too. Presently little trainer plane
appeared. The Dragons intensified their
fire, and the little trainer prepared to land.
The only thing even remotely resembling
landing field was tiny jungle clearing,
pitted with the mudholes of water buffalo
and rutted with elephant tracks. But
Lieutenant Ira Nj. Sussky of Little Rock,
Ark, set her down neatly.
With bullets whistling around their
heads, Sussky and Kimball frantically
chopped trees and heaved stumps to make
a runway. They tried takeoff. No 60.
They chopped more trees, pulled more
stumps, tried again. No 60. Eight times
they tried, sweating and straining after
each try. 1t was getting dark.
They tried the ninth time, barely got
aloft, scraped the treetops, and fiuttered
away to safety.

correspondent for ''Yank," the Army

lis finger at Kitty. why do you have to
be such a sentimental little mouse? Why do
you all the time have to mess around with
kids and dogs and -
Il know it" sighs Kitty. I'm too soft.
I'll try to be different
You better be-" says Dan. These days
YOU got to be hard-boiled" He looks out
the window again. MAYBE we ought to
take that kid to movie to cheer him up"
That night, when Dan and The Killer
walk into the National Guard Armory
where the MP. Battalion is quartered,
there is loud laughter for a good ten minutes.
Dan gets red, but The Killer is so used to
it he doesn't mind He sort of apologies
for himself with his big calf eyes and sinks
off to a corner Then Dan states that he
wants The Killer to be the Battalion's mas
cot, and he says it in such tone of voice
there are only few smokers. Just when he
thinks he is getting away with it, in walks
Corporal Drukowiz with Upper.
lHIs Upper is the cockiest, snapplest
little wire haired terrier you would want to
see There's CLINT in his eye and wag to
his tail, and he tears around jumping and
yapping and strutting and making friends
with everyone In about five minutes all
the M.P.s are crowding around him, and
Dan is left alone with The Killer. Wake
up, you undersized calf'' growls Dan.
Don't you know you got competitions"
But The Killer only lets out long sigh,
rolls over on his back and goes to sleep,
his feet in the air.
So Dan has to go it alone. He claims The
Killer should be the mascot because he was
first under the wire, and says why do they
want noisy little mutt, when they can have
real dignifed pooch with whiskers like
The Killer? 1t is losing fight right from the
start; but Dan won't give in, not even in
the morning, after The Killer sleeps all
night in his bunk with him and claws off
the blankets. In the end they have to take
the argument to Captain Morgan to decide.

later they hear the front door slam.
They look out the window and
there is the kid, limping across the
street as fast as he can with his bad
leg. He doesn't look back. The
Killer is yowling and paving at the
door and scratching the varnish.

"A flyer down in the jungle,
surrounded by Japs. Here's
a true adventure story -.
qF THESE boys hadn't grown up on diet
of Hollywood thrillers, probably they
Il wouldn't even have tried it. But they
did. And it worked.
You see, an American flyer, Lieutenant
Melvin Kimball of Durham, N. H., was
in jam. He had made belly landing
right in the middle of an advanced Japa-
nese base. Not Intentionally, of course.
His engine had conked out on flight
from China to India. He didn't know the
Japs were there - until they started TAX
ing pot shots at him.
The Japs were probably as much sur
prised as he was at his having landed in
their front yard. They stayed safely back
in the woods and sniped. Kimball hauled
out his automatic and started shooting.
But his ammunition was bound to
run out soon, and then they could
close in to kill or capture.
That's what they thought!
Enter the Assam Dragons. Assam is a
province in India, close to the Burmese
border. 1t is also headquarters for an
American flying squadron whose insignia
is grinning dragon. The boys say the
dragon only grins if fed heartily on dead
Japs. He has never stopped grinning yet.
Dragons to the Rescue
JUsT as Lieutenant Kimball was begin
ming to run low on ammunition, one of the
Dragons - Captain Charles H. Colwell
of Park River, N. D. - passed overhead.
He was heading home after strafing
mission. Spotting grounded American
plane in enemy territory, he came down
for a closer look What he saw he radioed
to the rest of the boys in Assam. The in
structions he got in response were highly
satisfactory. He went to work on the
Japs.
With machine guns blazing, he flew

With Tribe Has
Much approval

No less than IL Cut Bank independent
operators have applied for leases on
Blackfeet Indian tribal lands adjacent
to present production in the Tribal
pool, under the newly announced par
tieipating contract, according to Charles
Teeters, who is father Of the partici-

The contracts are arranged at private
sale, instead Of public auction, wherein
tribal oil lands bring as high as 5000
per acre. The operator receives an s25h
percent lease, instead Of the customary
s712 percent lease, and he gives to the
tribal council IS percent interest in
the net profit from the operation. He
is allowed to recover the entire cost of
his well or wells, in the event Of a dry
hole, before he pays anything to the

leum research was announced here by
Ralph E. Damp, general manager Of the
Northwest Refining company. The com
pany receiving this recognition for out
standing contribution to the war effort

nations largest research organizations.
He said the Army-Navy "E" signify
ing excellence" was given for work
resulting in marked improvements in
three weapons of chemical warfare, the
nature Of which is a military secret, and
for essential processes and plant de-
signs for the manufacture Of high Oe-
tame aviation gasoline and synthetic
Toluol for ''TNT." Mr.. Damp added that

Dry Hole" Is
Deepened Into
Production

The difference that "deeper drilling"
can make in Kelvin field was demon
strated in the Rocky Ridge pool this
week when Is feet of deeper penetra-
tion into the Madison lime spelled the
difference between dry hole and a
200-barrel well.
The well is Nepstad-H augen No. 4,
which had a small show of oil at the
lime contact at 1919 and ''break" at
1s39-1844. A thousand gallon shot Of
acid showed no results. Before re-acid-
izing it was decided to deepen. At
1S50-I857 another "break" was found,
81 feet in the lime. II was treated with
500 gallons of acid and at last reports
it was making II barrels an hour-at
the rate of better than 200 barrels per
day.
Promise of another good well in an
unexpected spot was afforded by I'm
perial- Craig Martin No. s well, SW
NEA sen 1s-35-1w, which is reported
to have a hole full of oil, without acid
ization. It is in an area where the lime

there are small quantities OF
many minerals in the bodies of

and these minerals are absolute

The three well-knoWn miner
ais are calcium, PHOSPHORUS and
iron. We need calcium and
PHOSPHORUS along with other
food elements for strong, heal

oranges a day, but almost every

The phosphorus essential to
