CHAPTER FoRTY-FIvE


MORNING DEW was still glis-
tening on the mesquite when JeaN's
taxi sputtered along the brown
winding road that led to the
Rancho Gasoline. The amiable driv-
or pointed 1t out, but got no re-
Spouse.
Jean was sitting straight and
stiff on the back seat, her knuckles
showing white where she gripped
her handbag. She was thinking Of
the note she had written Steve adj
hitting she had fallen down on her
duty, broken her trust, gone soft
again in tie moment of crisis.
She had told herself all these
things over and over, pacing her
tiny room during the rest Of the
frantic night after her call to
Steve. But always, when she had
half whipped herseL into line, came
the torturing thought Of Curley
saunte1ng gaily to arrest-or to
death-shattering that desperate
strength and leaving her in a state
Of agonized, trembling terror. With
the first delicate light Of morning
her heart whispered a compromise.
Tell him nothing-only appeal to
him TO stop his career Of crime and
sabotage because she loved him.
Once the idea formed, she was
swept ineXorably along by 1t. II
only she could persuade him. II
only he loved her enough!
She reused from her anxious
hrooding as the taxi swung in
through the rancho gates and came
to a sliding stop in the whit gravel
Of the courtyard. Wait, please"
she ordered.
The cool quiet Of the living room
was deserted. Lightly she started
up the wide hall, hoping to slip to
Curley's room unobserved: but a
movement through the open door
Of the library caught her eye.
Parkinson was half-turned at his
desk, frowning at her with a har-
riod irritation.
"Oh-hello,' Jean laughed weak

"You startled U.s." Mrs. Parkin-

trial cities suffering from smoke
uuisances soon may get some re
lief-and possibly new riches
from a technique designed to dis
perse smoke by means OF sound
waves, a University of Minnesota
chemist said.
Prof. Karl Sollner also indicated
that the menace of fog on land
and sea may be challenged by the
same technique. He told the
American Cehmical Society;
Scientists OF the Bureau Of
Mines in this country and others
abroad have demonstrated that
sound treatment offogs and smokes
leads TO the coagulation of the
droplets OF fog and the particles
OF smoke, so that they may settle
readily leaving the air clean and
free from foreign material
This technique, Sollner said.
may soon find wide application
n the fight against the smoke nuts
lnce and at the same time allow
he recovery OF valuable and rare
materials otherwise lost through
the chimney
Recalling that intense sound
waves already are widely used in
the detection OF submerged objects
in water-such as submarines and
iceberes-the professor said
Early reports that high intensi.
ty sound waves may be developed
into death rays or used TO deto'
nate explosives over long distances
have been shown 10 be entirely
without foundation; nevertheless
they may find many applications
helpful in the war effort
For example, he said, the waves
are used TO test large metal cast
ings for cracks and holes frequent
ly unbelievable by usual X-ray
methods. Gas bubbles or assures
prevent the regular transmission
OF the sound wave, and thus any
irrregularity in the sound trans
mission indicates dangerous
weakness.

increased skill in the selection OF
aviators. And this credit should
be given to the continued and still!
continuing activity Of a small,
group Of physicians who have de-
voted themselves to the problems
of aviation medicine.
| will give one instance out of
many which could be related TO IL
lustrate the modern methods Of
selecting aviators.
We have for several years in
medical laboratories been using a
device called the electro-enceph-
elograph. 1t is, in short, a practi-
cal application of the fact that
your brain shows its activity in
electric waves-diferences IN po-
tential-which can be recorded on
a sheet of paper. 1t is really a
modification of the electrocardio-
gram, which records very minute
ly the waves Of the heart beat.
Record Of Waking Activity
When an electrode is placed on
the skull over each of your frontal
lobes where the intellectual proc
esses are believed to take place,
the record during your waking &C
tivity shows series Of rapid ups
and downs, fairly close together
and varying roughly with the ra-
pidity and intensity of your
thought processes.
II you go to sleep, the record
shows almost a straight line, or
series of slow, shallow undula-
tons. The greatest practical
value in medicine for the electro
encephalogram has been in the
study of epilepsy, but that has
nothing to do with this story.
II has been found that each of
US has a perfectly characteristic
and different brain pattern, just
as we have characteristic and diff
ferent finger prints. Members Of
the same family have a family
pattern: the closer the relation
ship, the more nearly alike the
patterns, although still the indi-
vidual differences remain and can
be picked out by careful student.
Different Brain Patterns
Now it has been found by the
pattern Of their interchangeable
grams that it is possible to choose
from a group of candidate avia-
tors those who will be successful
fighters and those who will be sue
cessful bombardiers. Their brain
patterns are different. And, aston
ishingly, they seldom are inter-
changeable.
1t is unnecessary to stress the
tremendous significance of this
finding. If it proves successful,
and it seems to be doing so, the
long periods of trial, error and adj
justment will be done away with
and the round peg fitted to the
round hole Immediately. Of course,
it goes without saying that they
can pick out those who should
never try to be flyers at all In
deed, the significance of the ex-
tension of the method into all
forms Of career-planning and
job-hunting in civil life Is only
too plain.
