you'd like me to run tepld tub
for you, and then tuck you in?"
Andrea got up and took off her
dress like one making motions in
dream. She submitted to Beth's
ministrations, but close her eyes
would not. She stared at the cell
ing the night through.
She was sleeping in the morning
when Beth came downstairs from
Andrea's bedroom and, in h e r
sleep, her face was grave, ma
ture. The look Of it wrenched
Beth's heart anew and, remember
Ing Jim's asking her to take care
of Andrea if anything happened to
him, she felt tears flood up through
her whole being. To take care OF
Andrea was to take care OF some
thing that was Jin's. She felt that
she could not bear it because there
was so little she could do.
She couldn't say to Andrea, II
still love him as much as you do.
Your loss is my loss. Let us COM
fort each other She couldn't say
that.
Gently she pulled the blanket up
to Andrea's chin, lowered the
shades to keep out the morning
light and wrote a little note to
tell Andrea that she would call the
shop and explain what had hap
pened, and that she would hurry
home as soon as she could.
She was determined that S h e
would have the doctor that day
if Andrea were not better when
she came home. If she was re-
sponsible for her, Andrea's nerves
were not going to pieces.
But Andrea would have no doc
tor when Beth came home and
fund her still in bed. MY back
aches," she said And 1 can't eat,
but that doesn't mean my health
is anything to worry about"
Beth brought her dinner up on a
tray and she ate her fruit cup,
a generous slice of meat pie,
baked potato and dish of ice
cream. Beth was not quite so much
worried. Andrea would soon be
back to normal. Sooner than Beth.
But she would not talk of Jim,
ror of anything very much. The
changing light back of her eyes,
her long silences were signs that,
however silent she might be, she
was working things out in h r
mind, and four days later h
spoke them:
Maybe it isn't true, Beth. We've
got to find out"
A very much startled Beth ask
ed her what she meant.
HE isn't dead. The telegram
didn't say that. 1t just said that
he was missing. Where is it that
he could be missing? The post
wasn't very big one. They'd
know if he were killed, wouldn't
they?"
Beth's face grew wooden. Didn't
Andrea know what that could
mean? Did she have a nice pic
ture of war casualties laid out in
neat hospital beds?
Andrea's excitement mounted
with the pitch of her voice:
'In all that excitement, all that
suddenness, there must have been
q lot of mistakes made. You read
all the time about British soldiers
who've been reported missing turn
ing up. I've been thinking, BETH
Andrea could be right!

Washington admits that every
thing was all garbled up. Jim
could have been on a detail some
where else. And people can't get

think that could be it?''

knew someone who could help us.

citedly. "And we do know 800

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

It was five hours since the tele-
gram had come, telling that Jim
was missing Five terrible hours,

wicker rocker in Bet:i's room, star.
ing silently into space, her eyes
dark pools with deep shadows in
the yellowish pallor OF her face.
No color came ana went under
her olive-tlnted skin. No light
touched her eyes. No movement
disturbed her usually animated fig.
ure. Not tear coursed down her
cheeks.
Beth thought, If only she would
cry or rant, or do anything,
could bear it,
Within her, her heart hurt. Not
for Jim. That would come later
when she realized what the tele-
gram meant. 1t could have only
one meaning for her Her heart
hurt for Andrea, for now she could
not remember Andrea's resiliency.
It.. seemed to her til Andrea
would sit there forever in that
frozen pose arms tensely flat on
the chair arms. her feet close to-
gether. Only the fits OF trembling
that seized her bocy gave indica-
ton that she was not in a trance.
Someone came to the door and
knocked gently

said. Il know how they feel, but
there isn't anything they can do

body can do"
II wish
II know" Andrea said in a SOM
nambulent voice. you wish you

saying that all evening. Just let
me stay here with you"
Her eyes fixed again on point
across the room Beth picked up
her knitting but. for all that she
was aware Of what she was do
ing. she might have been doing
anything else.
After little while Andrea said,
stop that Beth Those needles

Beth put down he. knitting and
her eyes fell on the telegram on
the table Under the lamp. She
could see the words burning
through the folded page, Missing
in action"
ANDY, won't you let me call
the doctor?"
Andrea shrank back into t n e
chair and for an instant something
leaped- into her eyes No." she
said. Il don't need any doctor.
Can't you just let me alone?"
He could give you bromide.
Something to make you sleep.

''It has been enough. And you're

Jim was dead, that he'd come
back and Andrea would have her

said, not moving her eyes from

Beth's eyes opened a little wider,
but she SAID nothing.

Roscoe H. Hupper, New York at

of values of ships stopped with gov
ernmental requisition for war use.
In fact. values dropped somewhat,
he said, contending that contracts
drawn up after requisitioning be-
tween owners and the Government
had AN extremely fair basis
Il think the owners and the War
Shipping Administration are en-
titled to great credit for the modera-
ton in the charges" he told the
board of three Circuit Court judges
named by President Roosevelt to
study the situation and recommend
now much owners of ship requisi-
toned. bought. chartered or in

The Controller Generals Office
has ruled the Merchant Marine Act

ship values at prewar levels.
William Radner. VISA general
counsel, asked the board for "clari-
f1cation' of its remunerative pow
ers for vessels and said his agency
recognized the principle that it
should return ships in approximate

Develops Tempest in Senate

Senator Butler. Republican, of
Nebraska said yesterday that he
originally planned his now-famouS
Latin American trip only as vaca
ton. to mingle with fellow Rotar-
ians.
He altered his plans, he said, to
investigate United States operations
there. His subsequent criticism has
developed into a hot argument over
the Good Neighbor Policy.
Now, the Senator has seen his
findings published in the Readers
Digest, and his report to the Senate
Friday set up tempest.
Senator Butler told reporter he
had hired Maurice B. Mumford to
act as his aide and adviser. The
Senator said Mr.. Mumford subse-
quently became associated with
Readers Digest, but added that the
latter had nothing to do with the
article in the December issue, which
was released Friday, but had
reached mail subscribers earlier in

Better School Texts
And Teaching Urged
To Cement Americas
BY the Lssociated Press,

BY The associated Press.
Revision of texts and teaching
methods of this country, in the
or.lion of researchists acting for
the American Council of Education,
could vel oe undertaken as means
toward better national relationships
in the Americas.
An exhaustive study directed by
Dr.. Arthur P Whitaker of the
University, and participated in by
hundreds of other educators, finds
many faults and omissions in school
texts used in the United States.
Looking toward improvement of
these conditions. the study directors
and DR.. George F. Zook. president of
the council, already have conferred
with textbook publishers,
Education Stressed.
Most of us feel" DR.. Zook told a
reporter, that the only real and
permanent way to get peace and
good will is through the process of
education
Faults in the textbooks that con-
tribute to mistaken impressions of
Latin America, DR.. Zook said often
lie in little phrases, unconscious
slants Of factual statments or in
what isn't there"
This study, financed with s35, 900
from the Office of the Co. -ordinator
of Inter-American Affairs. is. he
said. the first extensive effort to
make such an examination of texts
and teaching methods and materi-
ais.
College Texts Better.
The study, he said, disclosed the
greatest deficiencies in texts for
secondary schools. Il found that
errors in college texts We're less,
probably, Dr.. Zook speculated, be
cause the college studies usually
are prepared by specialists
Another fault" he said, "is the
failure Of writer's to incorporate the
results of recent research. There
has been some tendency toward
over-sentimentality, perhaps as a
result OF our good neighbor' policy"
