mony. Friends. Family. Maria
Marshall had become Mrs. Kurt
Werner.
In 1899 she had returned to the
United States to visit her mother,
who was ill. The illness had
dragged on for a long time, and
before the end the World War
had closed in on them. Things had
happened in Poland and Holland
and Belgium and France: dread
full things which caused her inti-
mate friends to look at her oddly
and say, "You have husband in
Germany, haven't you?" 1t was
the way they said it.
MARIA had been in New York
long time now, living alone and
working. 1t hadn't been easy.
Since Pearl Harbor there had been
a barrier even hope could not
penetrate. She tried to forget her
desperate need of Kurt, tried not
to worry about where he was.
what he was doing. And now he
was here. Miraculously. She said,
Tell me about it, Kurt
His eyes caressed her. Il can
put it in one word: refugee.
"You?"
Yes. All Germans aren't Nazis,
you know
She felt an overpowering sense
of relief. He had quieted her great
est fear even before she expressed
it.
How long have you been here?"

the time they had missed.

you would have done

"HERE was snow on the pave
ments of New York. The sky
- was leaden, the wind high.
The man was walking north on
Fifth Avenue, leaning against the
wind. He collided with the girl,
stepped back to apologize - and
it was one of those things which
cannot happen, but do.
He said, "Mariar' and her lips
formed the name Kurt" Pedes-
trians crowded against them, but
for several seconds they stood
motionless, staring at each other,
shaken by the miracle of their
meeting.
He took her arm and said, in
here" They took a table in cor
ner of the restaurant. The waiter
withdrew discreetly. He knew
when people were in love they
wanted to be alone.
She said, Il keep trying to
think of the right words, Kurt.
Is it really you? How did you get
here? Isn't it incredible that we
should meet this way - by acci-
dent?"

took her hand. You are still the
most beautiful woman in the

And your judgment is still
prejudiced. But l love it."
He ordered cocktails, and for a
long time they were silent.
Maria had not yet fully ,N
grasped the actuality of the NV
situation.
There was no order or Sc
quence to her thoughts,
nothing but a profound
gratitude that the husband whom
she had not seen for more than
three years was here. He had not
changed. He was tall and slim and
straight and blond; he had the
same blue eyes which could be so
cold and, at times, so warm. She
saw his long, strong fingers curl
about the stem of the cocktail
glass, and remembered the toast

indistinct memories of striking

change in his vest pocket his
money was gone. And his watch
and his wallet.

Jim was also something of a braggart. He
liked to boast of his ability to drink 'the whole
gang under the table" What he did not know
was that his so-caed ability is usually an acquired
tolerance for something which his own
peculiar poison and that or later his toler-
ance to it would reach peak in a complete and
devastating intolerance.
1t took Jim fifteen years to learn this lesson.
And five more TO profit by it.
Those five years were a chain Of broken rcsolu-
tons. Over and over again he had promised HIM
self and his wife that he would quit drinking. Over
and over again he failed in his attempts to do so.
Because he had to show up at his office every so
often and with fairly good record of sales made,
he formed the habit of dropping in at Washing.

When he began drinking twenty years

living At that time Jim was something
of go-getter. He drank not because he

of some of those suffering

the more virulent forms Of

To claim that any single
system of therapy works in
any number of cases would
be erroneous. The only symp-
tom that drunkards have in
common is their drunken
ness. The conditions and
circumstances which have
made them drink are as diff
ferent as the differences be-
tween one human being and
another. For this reason all
successful tn erapies are
based primarily on the abil-
ity of the therapist TO gain
the confidence of the patient
and to penetrate TO the real
source of his disability.

SUBMARINE ANTIDOTE

A history making event too k place last week in the long war against the submarine. Official tests were made of the helicopter, which, despite opposition of the Navy, has been urged by officials of the Army and War Shipping Administration for anti-Submarlne patrol.
 Within a few hours after the publication of a rry-Go-Round story on this subject, group ol Officials from Washington, includ- ing highly interested and highly placed officials of the British Ad- miralty, British Shipping Mission, and the Royal Air Force, stood in amazement on the deck of tanker off shore while a little airplane with a rotary wing on top landed and took off from a Geek space not more than twice the size of the plane itself.
 It was a Sikorsky helicorter, pi- Ioted by a boyish colonel who re- minded everybody of Charles Lind bergh in his younger davS-H. F. Gregory. from Wright Field, Day ton, Ohio.
 Gregory made 24 landings on the tanker during two days trials. He operated when the tanker was riding at anchor, when she was running at fifteen and one-half Knots, when she was headed into the wind, and when she was rlr ming with the wind
 The War snipping Administra- ton, which supplied the tanker, had offered to remove the mast, to provide a safer landing space. But Sikorsy scorned that as too easy" Accordingly, his plane was set down by Colonel Gregory in the space between the mas. and the deck house, with only fourteen foot clearance CT either side.
 TO the British and American shipping experts the significance of this feat was unacceptable. They firmly, believe the helicopter can be used to supplement the escort vessels for the greater protection of merchant ships in convoy.
 It, is too light to carry much striking power, except few rockets, but it can fly out ahead of the convoy, hover over the sea, spot the wolf pack, and report by radio to the escort vessels.

It is clear therefore that the conflict in progress in Washington over certain critical materials, equip ment and instruments which essential to the production of both high -octane gasoline and syn thetic rubber must be settled by compromise
 The layman is not in a position to judge what this compromise should be. But the layman can and must insist that those who make the compro- mise do exclusively the basis of the needs of our armed forces We must have a certain mini mum amount of rubber for the Army for the farms, for the transportation of workers to their jobs and for other activities which essential to keeping the necessary business of the country run ming.
