 If she sets her mind to it, almost any wife will be able to talk her husband into giving up his ambi- tion and getting back into the old rut the war pulled him out of.
 But she will do it at the risk of making her husband unhappy, giving him a reason for resenting her interference, and therefore spelling her marriage.
 So war wives had better not count too much on grabbing onto security the minute the war is over. It may prove to be too costly.
 Instead they had better be pre- pared to face a period of start ing over" while their men try to make a go of the kind of work they have decided they want to do.

 Industries employing diabetics have a right to insist that such employees carefully control their diabetes. It is to be hoped that such a demand will rarely be necessary, because good manage ment is so important to the dia- betic and so easily within his reach, that he should insist upon it himself.

TREATING DIABETES

The basis of this treatment is diet, and the purpose of h e diet is to satisfy all the reasons for which anyone eats and at the same time provide less sugar than the diabetic is able to utilize. When the diet fails to do 50, the diabetic cannot be controlled by diet alone. and insulin must be employed, Insulin is h c sub- stance whose lack results in dia- betes, and its replacement makes it possible to utilize additional sugar,

 SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE
 Diabetes is a disease that can now be suppressed by the sheer weight of knowledge available to anyone. It is an hereditary disease, although in a single family, the relationships may be obscure It is a disease that begins with an in- ability to utilize sugar by convert ing this fuel into energy. The sugar accumulates in the blood and tissue until it finally spills out of the body by way of the kidney. The appear ance of sugar in the urine is sim pie means of recognizing diabetes, although occasionally sugar in the urine may occur from other less im- portant reasons.
 All the symptoms or diabetes follow in the wake of the dis turbance described above. The in ability to use sugar means that some food is lost and the body weight goes down in the presence of an increasing appetite. The sugar is carried out of the body dissolved in the urine, and the volume of the urinary output is increased. To compensate for this increase, there is an increased thirst to insure the necessary wa ter intake.
 Diabetes is painless and par tial, or inadequate treatment may be continued for years in some cases with the deceptive appear ance of normal health. Years of experience have shown, however that the complications that are so well known inevitably follow. Ire object of the treatment of diabetes is to correct the disturbance en- tirely so that the diabetic func- tioHs chemically and otherwise in the same manner as the non diabetic.

There's Always Manana

ing damp cloths for the feverlsh
face of the child.
Steve came in once to report
briefly that he had put in long
distance to the doctor, who'd be
here by morning, and that the
phsrmacia man was sleeping and
Manzanares should wake him If he
needed him to administer serum.
Then suddenly it was dawn, with
cold, gray streaks of light tn. color
Of steel filtering through the small
east windows. With Manzanares
asleep in his chair and the drone
of sound faint as a breath in the
quiet air, Jeans back stiffened as
she strained to listen. The drone
was getting louder. She leaped
from her chair and ran outside.
The slamming Of the screen door
reused Manzanares. He followed
his wife out, rubbing heavy eyes.
In the thin light. the three tense
faces watched until they saw
against the cold sky the two points
Of light. 1t was the plane. The
drone was changing now to
steady roar.
And then, at the full peak OF
their Joy, they drew a breath Of
cold dread. The plane was losing
altitude as it neared the huge black
bulk Of the rubber factory! Jeans
heart thudded wildly, her stomach
went heavy with a sickening nau-
sea as, with maddening delibera-
ton, the plane circled the plant,
behind a dark curtain of trees!
Then, in the sharp, clear silence,
her tension snapped and life flowed
through her again, at Msnzanares'
growl of relief.
But, yes. he is only landing on
that half-done airfield at the plant,
Lands he is watching. He will
bring him over"
Exultation surged through Jean.
She wanted to laugh-to cry-to
shrek until her lungs ached.
Through a misty blur Of tears, she
saw the headlights Of Tanners car
swing around the corner Of the
factory and start toward the viii
lage. And then it was pulling up
before them, Steve climbing out
with the precious package in his
hand. Manzanares and the phar-
macia man, hurrying across the
street, caught him at the gate and
they all went past her into the
house.
She stood there alone by the door
as Curley eased lazily from the car
and sauntered up to her. Lines Of
strain and fatigue etched his face,
but he was smiling the cocky smile
OF little boy.
"Veni, vidi, vinci" he boasted.
And with the sound Of his voice,
all the strain OF her terrible night
broke into laughter-helpless, un-
controlled. - ,slNsls hi. nsShs Mr.

lights shining against the black
sky as the plane headed toward
them-toward the plant. Its roar
grew louder until it was a din in
their ears as it passed directly
overhead. jeans heart stopped as
she saw the small lights swoop low
and circle the plant Beside her she
could hear Steve's heavy breathing.
Then suddenly the tiny lights lift
ed. The plane was heading toward
the east. Curley had been merely
signaling them! She turned to
Steve with a weak cry Of relief.
There! He's not bombing your
plant"
Steve drew a long, deep breath,
but his face did not clear. He isn't
back yet" he muttered grimly.
Stung with quick anger, Jean
turned and went into the house. In
the dimness Of the little bedroom
she found Sonora NJ lamar s
weeping beside the small, still form
on the bed. She laid sympathetic
hand on the woman's shoulder.
With defiant triumph in her voice,
she whispered.
Don't worry. It's going to be all
right this time. He'll get the serum
here"
The Mexican woman convulsively
clutched the girls hand and held on
to it as she wept. "Gracias!" she
kept murmuring. "Gracias!"
But slowly, as Jean stood there,
her defiance and triumph faded.
She had, she acknowledged reluc-
family, yielded to the first emotion
al urge in sending up the plane.
She had been betrayed by the need
in one little pair Of fever-lit eyes.
She had had the near good at heart,
Steve the far vision even
though that vision seemed cruel.
She was soft, she admitted. In
times of crisis, her mind always
spoke too late. And now--if she
had been wrong about Curlcy-n,
when the plane returned =.
Terrified. she drew back from the
horrible thought.
The door squeaked. Manzanarcs
paused to look at the child.

asked him softly.

"Oh!" Her anguish rose in waves
OF sick hysteria, but she gave no
outward sign. She stood there with
eyes on the small white face
against the pillow, her hand
clutched in the mothers desperate
grasp, listening to the woman's
sobbing, the labored breathing Of
the youngster, the incessant ticking

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

WITH A SONG OF relief in her
heart, Jean drove back tc the viii
lage to carry the good tidings to
the Manzanares. At the door Of the
police station her headlights picked
up a car. 1t was Tanners old green
Buick. She smiled. Manzanares had
waxed faint-hearted over his bold
assumption of power in issuing a
permit, and wanted reinsurance
from Steve.
She went in. Steve was at the
telephone, Manzanares comforting
his weeping wife.
"Curley's going" Jean fairly
shouted her good news.
Steve dropped the receiver and
swung around yes. He's just taxi
en- off,"
The harsh, strident tone Of his
voice, his white, taut face startled
Jean.

He took a step toward her. His
ewes blazed at her accusingly.
Didn't YOU have any better sense
than that?"
For a moment she couldn't an

Her shocked gaze moved blankly
from him to the miserable Man

tricks" Steve ragged on at Man.

Jean broke in hostly. steve! II

is at stake"
Steve whirled back TO her with
bitter laugh. Yes, The only
chance for that screwball to drop
a couple Of eggs on the factory"
HE wouldn't do that" cried
Jean psssionately. Il know he
wouldn't!"
Steve mimicked her in sardonic
fury. "Oh. you KNOW he wouldn't!
Now that's big comfort" He in
cluded the three OF them in his
wrathful glare. I've told you a
thousand times-this is war! Per-
sonal angles are out! We're here TO
do q job for our country, and dis
obeying orders isn't part Of it,"
Mrs. Manzanares' sobs rose TO
shrill. hesrtbyoken walls. Anger
triumphed over Jeans misery and
guilt.
You're hesrtless" she cried.
You're as cold-blooded as one of
your machines!"
But not smart enough" Steve
yelled, ito keep idiots from running
