And then Susan hung up.
But she didn't telephone and ask
Adam North to come out. She
knew that many a wife would do
that-if only to get even with the
husband she felt was neglecting
her and being unfair. but she
couldn't. Having Adam out when
there were other guests was one
thing; having him there for tet-
a-tete meal was quite another.
She went out to the kitchen. She
put the food away in the icebox,
covering the biscuit dough careful
ly with cloth. and putting a damp
cloth over the. vegetables she had
prepared for the salad. She didn't
feel like eating a mouthful-not
just then, anyway. She looked
around the kitchen, sighed deeply
and went upstairs to the bedroom.
SIZE snatched the jade earrings
from her ears and tossed them to
the dressing table; she undid her
hair and let it fall down around her
face and shoulders. Then she got
out OF the green linen. She had
sort Of what's-the-use feeling
and II saddened her. Putting on
loose-ftting kimono, she dropped
down upon the bed. There she lay
staring up at the ceiling, thinking
about the many stories and novels
she had read, yarns that had to do
with husbands and wives. But
nothing she could recall about
those fictional wives was Of any

to Canada and which drove over the
entire highway, except for 40 miles
of the section mentioned above.

People have an idea," he ex-
plains, that it's either a park

true than the second. It is a mill

towed by tractors. And anyone who
thinks 1t is a temporary road ought
to see the bridges we are putting

The colonel also has some rebuff
tai testimony to the f1gurative
"washout" charges. There has been
a recent speculation that the Japs'

road-building feat into so much
wasted effort.

hospitals there to base hospitals IN

ed as one service under the direc-
ton Of the r. A. r. principal NELL
cal officer in North Africa, where
evacuation Of wounded by air was
first developed on large scale. The
r. A. F. provided medical orderiies
for all planes, although the well-or-
ganized American air evacuation
service has its own flight surgeons
and nurses.
In attition to the actual evacua-
ton, the air forces supplied mobile
field hospitals, equipped with operat-
ng theaters, x-ray sections ana chm
ical laboratories. These provided
emergency surgery and treatment IN
the field, and selected and prepared
cases for aerial evacuation. Some OF
the medical officers were also pilots
and flew their own planes to super
wise the evacuation.
The history Of the air transport
of casualties goes back TO 1919, since
when 1t has been employed in Iraq,
Palestine and India. Great advances
base been made in this war, and IN
1941 over 1900 casualties were evac-
uated by air, mainly in the Western
Desert. During 1912, 1000 cases were
handled in the Middle East. while
up to May, 1913, over 1000 cases
were transported during the adj
vance to Tunisia. When that battle
was at its height, 200 wounded
day were conveyed from the for
ward areas.
In one Sicilian operation, the
largest Of Its kind in this theater OF
the war, 40 cases we're safely evac-
