We've got to talk with him!
Perhaps he's in as much danger

How do we know? This place

But what Agatha really thought
was, "pve got to learn how much
the blind boy knows! Why was
that old radio tube such an i'm.
portant clue?"
There was an outside door to
the upper quarters. Agatha set her
suitcase down, raped on the door.
The typewriting ceased immedi-
ately. Footsteps sounded in the
room above and the window
squeaked open. Someone looking

Apparently he expected to talk
with them on the sidewalk, but
Agatha had different ideas. Cant
we come inside-where there's nc
chance of being overheard"
He led them upstairs. This time
he remembered to snap on the
Light.
Again Agatha was struck by the
untidiness Of his quarters. He had
placed everything where it could
be reached, without any attempt
at neatness. He was unaware Of
the papers and cigaret ashes on
the floor, the cobwebs around the
light globe. But she saw them only
subconsciously. She was thinking
OF something else.
And so was he. He said, that

Agatha recoiled as from a blow.
She sat down on the edge OF the
bed.
How was he killed in q locked

lessly.
The method Of killing is not
the important part Of this case,

Sock Knitted for Lost
War Serves in This

An Australian soldier is wearing
woolen socks knitted by Mrs. M.
Stewart of Sydney in the last war.
They went to France, then to Gal
lipoli, where they were issued to the
soldier. He did not see q note Mrs.
Stewart put in one sock because he
did not wear the pair until Is years
later.
The soldier, now a lieutenant,
found the note containing this
rhyme: Dear Tom or Dick or Jim
or Jack, for whom these knitted
socks were packed, We work and
knit and pray for you, Australian
lad so brave and true"

@. How will the housewife know
when point values are changed?
A. The newspapers and radio will
carry the announcements, and every
food store will have an OPA poster
showing the current point values of
each particular product. A new
poster will be issued when point
values change.
@. viii the point values be the
same In all stores, or will they vary
between high-price and price
stores?
A. The point values are the same
In every store in the country regard
less Of the price charged. The
housewife, in buying a No. 2 can Of
tomatoes, will have to surrender the
stamps for the same number OF
points regardless of whether the
price is IL cents or Is cents, or
whether the can Is grade A. B or c,
or any other grade designation such
as fancy" choice" or standard"
Length of Ration Period.
@. How long will the first ration
period last?
A. That will depend very largely
on the date when rationing begins.
If it were possible to start on Feb
ruary l, the first ration period very
probably would take in the entire
month Of February. If, as now seems
probable, rationing will begin on a
later date, the first period may be
an "odd" one, covering either the
balance Of February or possibly the
balance OF February and the full
month of March. Thereafter, how
ever. rationing periods likely will
correspond to the calendar months.
@. What is going to be done about
people who have an excess supply OF
these commodities on hand?
A. Every one applying for War
Rationing Book 2 will be required to
fill out and sign consumer declar-
alton" from stating exactly the
stocks of processed foods on hand.
Book 2 will have stamps removed

Questions and Answers Issued
On Point Rotioning of Foods
Book No. Coupons Must Be Surrendered
To Buy Canned Fruits, Soups, Vegetables

To help the public, especially Mrs
Housewife, to understand point ra-
tioning of foods, scheduled to start
some time in February or March,
the Office of Price Administration
has issued the first Of a series of
questions and answers.
The food subject to point ration
ing, which can be bought only
through surrendering coupons from
the new Ration Book No. 2, not yet
issued, includes canned, bottled and
frozen fruits and vegetables. juices,
dried fruits and all soups, including
chicken.
The questions and answers follow:
@. Why is it necessary to suspend
retail selling at all?
A. There are several reasons. In
the first place, Of course. all food
stores throughout the country must
be given an opportunity to prepare
for the start of rationing. They
must have time to build up supplies,
to train clerks, to receive and post
the official OPA list of point values
and familiarize themselves with
those values Secondly, the public
must be registered for book 2, be
notified of the actual point values
and be given time to study them and
budget their points for the first ra-
ton period.
Evening star., 1943-01-01

for excess stocks and thus, in effect,
will compel the applicant to use up
these stocks before buying any more.
Heavy Federal penalties can be ap-
piled to those making false declar-
alton.
Home Canning Exempted.
@. Does this declaration" mean
that I will have to declare the
fruits and vegetables I canned at
home last fall?
A. No. Nothing you have packed
at home need be declared and no
stamps will be deducted for these
home supplies. 1t is expected, of
course, that you will use your home
canned goods instead of buying
commercial products and thus help
your Government spread food sup
plies as widely as possible.
@. There seems to be some ques-
ton about dried and dehydrated
vegetables and things like dehy-
drafted dog food. Are these covered
by rationng?
A. No. Only dried and dehydrated
fruits-apples, peaches and the like
Dry vegetables like navy beans
split peas and lentils are not in
cluded
@. What about chicken soup
canned beef broth. turtle soup and
other soups made Of meat or poultry
stock containing few, If any, vege-
tables.
A. All canned soups are rationed
no matter what their content. But
not dehydrated soups.
Soups interchangeable.
But why ration all canned soups
Why not only those made all OF
largely from vegetables?
A. Because all canned soups are
interchangeable. If we can't gel
one kind, we are likely to take an
other. If we only rationed vege-
tables soups, a great demand would
develop for meat and chicken soups
with the result that these would
disappear from the shelves in q very
Short time.
@. Why is not canned salmon and
canned meat included in the present
rationing program?
A. Because ordinarily canned
meats and fish are not used inter-
changeably with canned vegetables
The present program was intended
primarily to cover processed fruits
and vegetables.
Q. Will the housewife have to
make an inventory of her canned
goods -products-so many cans
Of peas, so many Of beans, so many
Of cherries, and so on?
A. No, she need report only the
total number of cans that her
household has on hand when ration
ing begins.
Q. Can the housewife use the
ration books Of all the members o1
her family when she goes shopping?
How about the maid who is fur
nished meals?
A. Yes, she may take along each
ration book issued to members of
her household, justs as she now
does in buying supar or coffee with
War Ration Book One.

Eyes, sir, once"
Swedei got him to tell what it
was like. Ries and Barnum were
in close. They could hear what
was going on and they listened
alphabetically to Lawrence's story
OF swimming in a country river in
darkness that made all the sedate
elderly trees around it look like
jungle. They couldn't make out
what the whole thing was about
and the words just nagged at the
tiredness in them.
At the end of the story, Swede
said, boy, that must have been
nice. You made 1t sound real nice"
well, it was NICE" Lawrence re-
piled. His voice wasn't chattering
any more.
Look at that moon," cried Swede
''It looks like a mouth in the sky

and Lawrence laughed, too. "And

and grunted along, gobbling up the

moon fixed it up. It's the only
thing around here the moon could
fix up"
The Moon Does 1t.
The moon did it all right. With
his nerves quoted, Lawrence had
the radio fixed in no time. Later,
while Thurman was going along San
Cristobal to see If Japs would shoot
at him and Fayle was bobbing duly
in the milk warm sea, Swede, Bar

carrier. They had hit it, too, but
not badly, not so badly that it would
not be back in action again soon.
The Ryujo had not been so for
tunate. Torpedo had left it
smoking and burning. The Zeros
hadn't been able to do thing with
them. They had put one torpedo
into it certainly and two more prob
ably. The Army had hit it, too,

Thurman Gets Down.

A"NA AAA"AA oSSo DO"As
Thurman was the first to go into
the water. He found the island of
San Cristobal and went along it low
to see if there were Japs on it. No.
body shot at the plane. WELL" he
! thought, that means yes or not
or maybe. Either there are no Japs
or there are Japs and maybe they
are afraid to shoot" He passed
back the word to the crew to guard
their small arms and lowered the
| plane into the water so gently, so
expertly that nobody was hurt or
even Jared very badly.
Then Frenchy went down. He
found an island. too, a small one
and was afraid to leave it. He
found it when he had only few
minutes gasoline left and circled
there, thinking, well, now, it will
be easy: now all we have to do is
live until we died." He was very re-
luctant to sit down. A dead-stick
landing in the water with a land
plane is no job for an exhausted
pilot, but he was reluctant and
chung to the air and chung and chung
until at last he was very close to the
water and then suddenly was in it,
scrambling for raft that was bob
bling alongside the drowning plane.
MY mother told me never to get
my feet wet" the turret gunner
remarked as he lifted himself into
| the raft. -. Z.
Where are the sharks?" thought
Frenchy. He was very tired. !. He
couldn't summon UP the energy to
4 get into the raft. The water was
as warm as milk in a pail. He held
onto the raft with one hand and
drifted duly. What's SO easy about
living until you die?" he thought.
He looked around for sharks. I'm
sitting here up to my hips in
sharks" he told himself, land
don't even feel them. Where there s
no sense there's no feeling"

who are sore at the Navy for not

skivvies.
