KEN AND SUE CHAPTER XII
By Rene Ryerson Mort

- The next morning Barbee saw by the bulletin board that she and Sue were marked up for the second trick the following week. It was their routin c to turn to take that trick but she bit her lip in vexation. It meant shed be seeing Ken.
 It was worse, however, than Barbee had anticipated. He came into the laboratory grinning in his customary way. Then he saw her and his smile altered. He nodded briefly. Working this trick, now?"
 Barbee crimsoned furiously. furi- ously. Surely he didn't think she'd had her hours changed in order to see him. We have to take the sec ond shift every third week, you know" she explained coldly.
 He nodded az ain and walked over to Sue, impudently yanking at her shirt where 1t had worked out from the top of her slacks.
 There's a swing shift show at the Camden tonight. Like to go after work?"
 Sure, big boy,' Sue giggled.
 "Right-o. Since you at eleven"
 He turned to Barbee. Want to ride along? can drop you at your house first. This is bad neighborhood for a girl alone in at night"
 Barbee was trembling She didn't know whether Ken was making this play for Sue in order to pay her back for the way she had hurt him, or whether he hon. estly preferred the blond girls company.
 She said, "No," shortly. T have . way home" It happened to be the truth. Her father had insisted that she drive the car since she was working late.
 What happened the next day didn't help either. Sue came in gig gling. The other two girls who were also working the afternoon shift and Barbee were in the dressing room changing into their work clothes. Naturally they wanted to . know what was funny.
 1OQ SllOulu Have ScCIl 1AcIl NdT- ter last night" Sue giggled. We went to show and then we went over to the Gloria for a couple of drinks Only Ken didn't stop with . couple. He got so tight I had to drive the car and take him home. I bet he doesn't come in at all today"
 Barbee turned away.
 Ken didn't come to work, and Sue seemed to relish telling every- one why not. Barbee listened to the story of the drinking party dozen times, and with every hearing her disgust grew. She was sick of Ken, she was sick of , Sue. She wished she didn't have 10 see either of them again. At her first opportunity Barbee went over to the chief chemists ieSk.
 MT. Kent, was wondering if you wanted to put me on another lob now. I've learned the chloro- gene test, and it really doesn't !ake two of us to run it."

MAKE IT LAST BY RE-DYEING

Make it last as long as you can.' consumers are urged by Donald Nel- son, chief of the War Production Board. In thus conserving fabrics, you needn't look drab or dated either. Home -dyeing will make your present wardrobe last longer. look better. You can tint practically every item in your wardrobe, to say nothing of such home decorations as curtains, slip covers, bedspreads, sheets and pillow cases. You have over 50 true colors from which to choose-many no longer available in new fabrics. You'll be saving money by re-dyeing, too. since a box of home dye costs but l0c or l5c. And home-dyeing is really very simple. once you read the directions on the box.

SAVE HOSIERY BY RE-DYEN0

Don't throw away mismated on faded hosiery. You can save them for many a month of additional wear by dipping them into a dye. bath at home. Special stocking dyes in five shades are available-victory beige, smoke haze, hula bronze, wine blush and brown butter. The dyes are good for all stocking fabrics nylon, rayon, silk, lisle, cotton, wool and mixtures. In re-matching odd stocks, first use color remover. This removes sufficient color to enable you to re-dye in any shade.

town filled with Ruth MiIlett servicemen ought to have an organic zation of this sort. For 1t is tho duty of civilians to see that service< men are well treated when they ar< away from camp, it also is tl1ei1 duty to treat wives of those men with courtesy, consideration, and q helping hand.
 HAVE HOUSING PROBLEM
 Most wives make as great 6 sacs rifice as do their husbands when the men go of to war. Life seldom is easy for them if they follow thei1 husbands. and 1t is lonely for them If they don't.
 If there are children, they be. come the wife's sole responsibility-s and If she tries to follow her l1uss band there is certain to be houss ing problem, since 50 many land~ lords turn thumbs down on childrens even the children of men in uni. form.
 But the main reason why civilians owe service wives so much is be- cause the wives of men in uniform face the possibility of having to 90 through life alone. They stand chance to lose their husbands, and their children to lose their fathers out of this war.
 Yet for the most part. little has been done for the wives. All too often they are looked on as nuis- ance by a community because they add to crowded conditions, help to use up scarce supplies, and are here today and gone tomorrow.
 We're quick to try to make tho lot of the servicemen better, for there is a glamor attached to his uniform. But we have been pitifully slow to recognize that the servics' mans wife should be well treated too even though she wears no uniform.

HOME FRONT FORECAST
HOME FRONT FORECAST Drop Your Knitting, Grandma; You're Needed At a Lathe
By ANN STEVICK

Washington, Aug. IT After August IT sheets and pillows not up to minimum standards will not necessarily be labeled "sub-stand- ard.' The Office of Price Adminis- tration will revoke the requirement but will keep 8 remote control through price ceilings and mark
 up regulations, so you can be sure that such linens can be sold only at "substandard" prices.
 Many manufacturers will con- tinue to print on their labels the type numbers 180, 140, 128 and 112. These labels indicate graduated standard of minimum specifications in weight of cloth, strength, type of stitching, and amount of sizing.
 STEEL SAVINGS
 The amended WIPE list for iron and steel conservation seems to leave the individual home-fronter about where she was. There will be no iron and steel used for such items as clothes hampers, bar ac- cessories. diaper cans, compacts, household ice-cream freezers or re- ducing machines. However, the Office of Civilian Requirements points out that the manufacture of none of these items is prohibi- ted if the manufacturer can sub Stitute other material.
 The War Manpower Commission plans an aggressive program to get more older women into the war ef- fort. It is especially important in labor shortage areas. They have the figures to show that grandmother, ae 50, 60 and even 70, is successfully operating machines, assembling and in war factories. Her higher absenteesim record for sick ness is balanced by fewer absences for more flighty reasons.

That's the kind of job this torpedo is. And that's
why the men and women at Harvester are proud
that in starting production we beat our promise to
the Navy by months.
We have been greatly aided in doing that by the
Navy itself. Through Navy cooperation, picked
group of Harvester production men stayed at gov
eminent torpedo station for weeks, planning fac
tory layout, toong and methods, outlining special
training courses for Harvester employees.
We have been able to beat our promise, because
the experience of Navy men and the production
knowledge of Harvester men are teamed together
to achieve the same goals-making good torpedoes,
making them faster, making more OF them.
We owe all that-and more-to some square jawed
kid from Kansas. And every and woman of us
is determined to see that that debt is paid.

It's tough job!
A TORPEDO is big, hundreds of pounds of special
steels and brass and copper and alloys, carrying
hundreds of pounds of deadly explosive. Yet it has
parts precision pieces, small they be carried
beneath a mans fngernail.
MANY PARTS of our torpedo are made in air-condi-
toned, emperature-controled rooms, rooms which
are scrubbed each day because tiny particles of
dust, no thicker than one nights dust your
piano, would destroy their absolute accuracy.
HERE ARE PARTS so delicately poised that they are
oiled with hypodermic needle, with alternate drops
placed carefully each SIDE One extra drop of oil
would throw them out of balance.
A TORPEDO is guided to its target by gyroscope, a
device so precise in manufacture and sire oper
alton that it will automatically regulate the course
and the depth at which the torpedo travels And it
must not fail Gyroscopes normally are made only
by specialists. Harvester makes its own.

For the Navy has given US assignment which
we regard honor-the production of aircraft
torpedoes one of the toughest of all precision jobs.
We have responsibility, and heavy one, to see
that when our torpedoes dropped they right;
